(which shall be renamed MS Energy Services, Inc. at the Effective Time)(the “Company”), and
to exercise the other rights, powers, and privileges hereinafter provided, all on the terms and
subject to the conditions specified in this Warrant and in the Agreement. All capitalized terms
used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.
1. | Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on the Effective Time and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City local time on [ ] [___], 2010 (“Expiration Date”). Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of the Warrants by delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, that any extension of the duration of the Warrants must apply equally to all of the Warrants. | ||
2. | Exercise of Warrants. |
(a) Payment. A Warrant may be exercised by the registered holder thereof by
surrendering it, at the office of the Company, for the number of shares of Common Stock
which the registered holder is entitled to receive as an Earnout Award pursuant to Section
2.06 of the Agreement, as well as any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the
exercise of the Warrant, the exchange of the Warrant for shares of Common Stock, and the
issuance of the Common Stock. The registered holder shall not be required to provide any
additional consideration upon the exercise of the Warrant or the issuance of Common Stock
upon exercise of a Warrant.
1
(b) As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall issue
to the registered holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates for the number of
full shares of Common Stock to which he is entitled pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant,
registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and additionally if
such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the
number of shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant to the
exercise of a Warrant unless a registration statement under the Act and all applicable state
securities laws with respect to the Common Stock is effective or an exemption under the Act
and all applicable state securities laws is available for the issuance.
(c) All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in
conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(d) Each person in whose name any such certificate for shares of Common Stock is issued
shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the
date on which the Warrant was surrendered, irrespective of the date of delivery of such
certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock
transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the
holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the
stock transfer books are re-opened, which shall be the earliest practical date available to
the Company.
3. | No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant or the Agreement, no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, and no Member shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. |
4. | Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. |
(a) Registration of Transfer. The Company shall register the transfer, from
time to time, of any outstanding Warrant in the Warrant register, upon the surrender of such
Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied
by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant
representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall
be cancelled by the Company.
(b) Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the
Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Company
shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the registered
holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants.
(c) Partial Exercise. If the Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the
Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing
shares of Parent Common Stock, deliver to holder a new Warrant evidencing the unexercised
rights of holder to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock called for by the Warrant, which
new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with the original Warrant.
(d) Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange of
Warrants.
5. | Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants. |
2
(a) No Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the registered holder
thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation,
the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to
vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of
stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter. The holder
shall be entitled to all rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately upon such exercise
notwithstanding that a certificate representing such shares Common Stock has not been
issued.
(b) Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost,
stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise
as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant,
include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as
the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute
a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost,
stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
(c) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times that any
Warrant is outstanding reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all
outstanding Warrants.
(d) Registration of Common Stock. The registration of the Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be subject to that certain Registration
Rights Agreement, dated [ ___], 2006 by and between the Company, the Members’
Representative and the members of Multi-Shot, LLC.
