Mechanics of Issuance (1) Upon receipt by the Agent of a Drawdown Notice, Conversion Notice or Rollover Notice from the Borrower requesting the issuance of Bankers’ Acceptances, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof and advise each Lender of the aggregate face amount of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by such Lenders, the date of issue and the Interest Period for such Loan; the apportionment among the Lenders of the face amounts of Bankers’ Acceptances to be accepted by each Lender shall be determined by the Agent by reference and in proportion to the respective Commitment of each Lender, provided that, when such apportionment cannot be evenly made, the Agent shall round allocations amongst such Lenders consistent with the Agent’s normal money market practices.
Date of Issuance and Term This Warrant shall be deemed to be issued on June 13, 2008 (“Date of Issuance”). The term of this Warrant begins on the Date of Issuance and ends at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is six (6) years after the Date of Issuance (the “Term”). This Warrant was issued in conjunction with the issuance of Debentures of the Company (“the “Debentures”) to the Holder pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement (“Securities Purchase Agreement”), and the Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) by and between the Company and Holder dated on or about June 13, 2008. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the applicable portion of this Warrant shall not be exercisable during any time that, and only to the extent that, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder upon such Exercise (as defined in Section 2(a)), when added to the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Holder otherwise beneficially owns (outside of this Warrant, and not including any other warrants or securities of Holder’s having a provision substantially similar to this paragraph) at the time of such Exercise, would exceed 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be conclusively satisfied if the applicable Notice of Exercise includes a signed representation by the Holder that the issuance of the shares in such Notice of Exercise will not violate the Limitation, and the Company shall not be entitled to require additional documentation of such satisfaction. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Company receives any purchase, tender or exchange offer or any offer to enter into a merger with another entity whereby the Company shall not be the surviving entity (an “Offer”), then the Maximum Percentage shall be increased (but not decreased) to 9.99%, and “4.99%” shall be automatically revised immediately after such offer to read “9.99%” each place it occurs in this Section 1. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1 may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any amount not in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further waived by such Holder, provided that, if an Event of Default occurs, thereafter the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1 may be waived by such Holder, at the election of such Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, to change the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage (and not limited to 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon Exercise of the Warrants held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 1 shall continue to apply. The limitations on Exercise set forth in this subsection are referred to as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitations.” The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. Notwithstanding the above, Holder shall retain the option to either Exercise or not Exercise its option(s) to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof after an Offer, and, in the event of a cash Exercise following a tender offer, the Exercise Price per share that would otherwise be due shall instead be offset against the tender price per share to be received by the Holder, provided, however, that in the event a tender offer is not completed, Holder, at its option may either (i) complete any Exercise that was initiated after the Offer by promptly paying to the Company the Exercise Price that would have been due at the time the Warrant was Exercised, or (ii) cancel such Exercise by providing written notice to the Company, in which case such Exercise shall be deemed void ad initio.
Mechanics of Issuances (a) On any Trading Day during the Commitment Period, the Company may deliver a Transaction Notice to BNYMCM (in the case of an Issuance) or the Forward Seller and the Forward Purchaser (in the case of a Forward), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01; provided, however, that (1) the Issuance Amount or Forward Hedge Amount, as the case may be, for each Transaction as designated by the Company in the applicable Transaction Notice shall in no event exceed $50,000,000 without the prior written consent of BNYMCM or the Forward Seller, as the case may be, which may be withheld in BNYMCM’s or the Forward Seller’s sole discretion, as applicable, and (2) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Forward Purchaser, BNYMCM nor the Forward Seller shall have any further obligations with respect to any Transaction Notice if and to the extent the aggregate Sales Price of the Common Shares sold pursuant thereto, together with the aggregate Sales Price of the Common Shares previously sold under this Agreement, shall exceed the Maximum Program Amount.
Role of Issuing Bank Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or L/C Related Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at Law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(f); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on its face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
Expenses of Issuance of Shares The issuance of stock certificates hereunder shall be without charge to the Employee. The Company shall pay any issuance, stamp or documentary taxes (other than transfer taxes) or charges imposed by any governmental body, agency or official (other than income taxes) or by reason of the issuance of Shares.
Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal or Extension To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section), the amount and Currency of such Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is to be issued under the Dollar Commitments or the Multicurrency Commitments, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
Role of Issuing Lender Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any L/C Disbursement under a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Agent Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Agent Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.10; provided, however, that anything in such Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an Issuing Lender, and an Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit (in each case, as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and an Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. An Issuing Lender may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.
Issuance Date The person or persons in whose name or names any certificate representing shares of Common Stock is issued hereunder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby as at the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised with respect to such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall be closed.
