FORM OF COMMON STOCK WARRANT AGREEMENT
This COMMON STOCK WARRANT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of
between GTx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and , a [corporation]
[national banking association] organized and existing under the laws of and
having a corporate trust office in , as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”).
WHEREAS,
the Company proposes to sell [if Warrants are sold with
Common Stock — Common Stock
of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) with] warrant certificates
evidencing one or more warrants (the “Warrants” or, individually, a “Warrant”) representing the
right to purchase shares of [Common Stock of the Company, par
value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”)]
[Common Stock] (such shares underlying the Warrants, the “Warrant
Shares”), such warrant certificates and other warrant certificates issued pursuant to this
Agreement being herein called the “Warrant Certificates”; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the
Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer,
exchange, exercise and replacement of the Warrant Certificates, and in this Agreement wishes to set
forth, among other things, the form and provisions of the Warrant Certificates and the terms and
conditions on which they may be issued, registered, transferred, exchanged, exercised and replaced.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements herein contained,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
1.1 Issuance Of Warrants. [If Warrants alone—Upon issuance, each Warrant Certificate shall
evidence one or more Warrants.] [If Common Stock and Warrants— Warrant Certificates shall be
[initially] issued in connection with the issuance of Common Stock [but shall be separately
transferable on and after (the “Detachable Date”)] [and shall not be separately
transferable] and each Warrant Certificate shall evidence one or more Warrants.] Each Warrant
evidenced thereby shall represent the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and
therein, to purchase the number of Warrant Shares specified therein. [If Common Stock and
Warrants— Warrant Certificates shall be initially issued in units with Common Stock and each
Warrant Certificate included in such a unit shall evidence Warrants for each
[shares][of a share] of Common Stock included in such unit.]
1.2 Execution And Delivery Of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, whenever issued,
shall be in registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, shall be
dated the date of its countersignature by the Warrant Agent and may have such letters, numbers, or
other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed
or engraved thereon as the officers of the Company executing the same may approve (execution
thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made
pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange on which the Warrants
may be listed, or to conform to usage. The Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the
Company by any of its present or future chief executive officers, presidents, senior vice
presidents, vice presidents, chief financial officers, chief legal officers, treasurers, assistant
treasurers, controllers, assistant controllers, secretaries or assistant secretaries under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon. Such signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of such
authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates. The
seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed,
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.
No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall
be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of
the Warrant
1.
Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall
be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued
hereunder.
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates
either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant
Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent, such
Warrant Certificates may be countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that the person who signed
such Warrant Certificates ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may
be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such
Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the
execution of this Agreement any such person was not such officer.
The term “holder” or “holder of a Warrant Certificate” as used herein shall mean any person in
whose name at the time any Warrant Certificate shall be registered upon the books to be maintained
by the Warrant Agent for that purpose [If Common Stock and Warrants are not immediately
detachable— or upon the registration of Common Stock prior to the Detachable Date. Prior to the
Detachable Date, the Company will, or will cause the registrar of Common Stock to, make available
at all times to the Warrant Agent such information as to holders of Common Stock as may be
necessary to keep the Warrant Agent’s records up to date].
1.3 Issuance Of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates evidencing the right to purchase
Warrant Shares may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent upon the execution
of this Warrant Agreement or from time to time thereafter. The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of
Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign such Warrant Certificates
and shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to or upon the order of the Company.
ARTICLE 2
WARRANT PRICE, DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
2.1 Warrant Price. During the period specified in Section 2.2, each Warrant shall, subject to
the terms of this Warrant Agreement and the applicable Warrant Certificate, entitle the holder
thereof to purchase the number of Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Warrant Certificate at
an exercise price of $ per Warrant Security, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain
events, as hereinafter provided. Such purchase price per Warrant Security is referred to in this
Agreement as the “Warrant Price.”
2.2 Duration Of Warrants. Each Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time, as
specified herein, on or after [the date thereof] [ ] and at or before [ ]
p.m., [ ] time, on [ ] or such later date as the Company may designate by
notice to the Warrant Agent and the holders of Warrant Certificates mailed to their addresses as
set forth in the record books of the Warrant Agent (the “Expiration Date”). Each Warrant not
exercised at or before [ ] p.m., [ ] time, on the Expiration Date shall become void,
and all rights of the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant under this
Agreement shall cease.
2.3 Exercise Of Warrants.
(a) During the period specified in Section 2.2, the Warrants may be exercised to purchase a
whole number of Warrant Shares by providing certain information as set forth on the reverse side of
the Warrant Certificate and by paying in full, in lawful money of the United States of America, [in
cash or by certified check or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds] [by bank wire
transfer in immediately available funds] the Warrant Price for each Warrant Security with respect
to which a Warrant is being exercised to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office, provided
that such exercise is subject to receipt within five business days of such payment by the Warrant
Agent of the Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase Warrant Shares set forth on
the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed. The date on which
payment in full of the Warrant Price is received by the Warrant Agent shall, subject to receipt of
the Warrant Certificate as aforesaid, be deemed to be the date on which the Warrant is exercised;
provided, however, that if, at the date of receipt of such Warrant Certificates and payment in full
of the Warrant Price, the transfer books for the Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of
such Warrants shall be closed, no such receipt of such Warrant Certificates and no such payment of
such Warrant Price shall be effective to constitute the person so designated to be named as
2.
the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on such date, but shall be effective to constitute
such person as the holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes at the opening of
business on the next succeeding day on which the transfer books for the Warrant Shares purchasable
upon the exercise of such Warrants shall be opened, and the certificates for the Warrant Shares in
respect of which such Warrants are then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on such next
succeeding day on which the transfer books shall next be opened, and until such date the Company
shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Warrant Shares. The Warrant Agent shall
deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Warrant Price in an account of the Company
maintained with it and shall advise the Company by telephone at the end of each day on which a
payment for the exercise of Warrants is received of the amount so deposited to its account. The
Warrant Agent shall promptly confirm such telephone advice to the Company in writing.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall, from time to time, as promptly as practicable, advise the Company
of (i) the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which Warrants were exercised, (ii) the
instructions of each holder of the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants with respect to
delivery of the Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled upon such exercise, (iii) delivery
of Warrant Certificates evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants for the remaining Warrant
Shares after such exercise, and (iv) such other information as the Company shall reasonably
require.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall issue to or
upon the order of the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant the Warrant Shares
to which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may
be directed by such holder. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate
are exercised, the Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall
manually countersign and deliver, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants for the number of
Warrant Shares remaining unexercised.
(d) The Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or other governmental
charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of the Warrant
Shares, and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any Warrant Security until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has
been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.
(e) Prior to the issuance of any Warrants there shall have been reserved, and the Company
shall at all times through the Expiration Date keep reserved, out of its authorized but unissued
Common Stock, a number of shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrants.
ARTICLE 3
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
3.1 No Rights As Warrant Securityholder Conferred By Warrants Or Warrant Certificates. No
Warrant Certificate or Warrant evidenced thereby shall entitle the holder thereof to any of the
rights of a holder of Common Stock of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to
receive the payment of dividends or distributions, if any, on the Warrant Shares or to exercise any
voting rights, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement or the applicable Warrant
Certificate.
3.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated Or Destroyed Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Warrant
Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it and the Company of the ownership of and the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and/or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of
the mutilated Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent for cancellation, then, in the absence of
notice to the Company or the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent
shall manually countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed
or mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and evidencing
Warrants for a like number of Warrant Shares. Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate
under this Section 3.2, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection
3.
therewith. Every substitute Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 3.2 in
lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall represent an additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall
be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement
equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly executed and delivered
hereunder. The provisions of this Section 3.2 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant Certificates.
3.3 Holder Of Warrant Certificate May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of
this Agreement, any holder of a Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant Agent, the
holder of any Warrant Shares or the holder of any other Warrant Certificate, may, in such holder’s
own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit,
action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, such
holder’s right to exercise the Warrants evidenced by such holder’s Warrant Certificate in the
manner provided in such holder’s Warrant Certificate and in this Agreement.
3.4 Adjustments.
(a) In case the Company shall at any time subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision
shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrants
shall be proportionately increased. Conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable under the Warrants shall be proportionately decreased.
(b) If at any time or from time to time the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or
other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of the Warrants) shall have received or
become entitled to receive, without payment therefore,
(i) Common Stock or any shares of stock or other securities which are at any time directly or
indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution;
(ii) any cash paid or payable otherwise than as a cash dividend paid or payable out of the
Company’s current or retained earnings;
(iii) any evidence of the Company’s indebtedness or rights to subscribe for or purchase the
Company’s indebtedness; or
(iv) Common Stock or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way
of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement
(other than shares of Common Stock issued as a stock split or adjustments in respect of which shall
be covered by the terms of Section 3.4(a) above), then and in each such case, the holder of each
Warrant shall, upon the exercise of the Warrant, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number
of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration
therefore, the amount of stock and other securities and property (including cash and indebtedness
or rights to subscribe for or purchase indebtedness) which such holder would hold on the date of
such exercise had he been the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date on which
holders of Common Stock received or became entitled to receive such shares or all other additional
stock and other securities and property.
(c) In case of (i) any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the Common Stock
of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided
for in Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) above), (ii) share exchange, merger or similar transaction
of the Company with or into another person or entity (other than a share exchange, merger or
similar transaction in which the Company is the acquiring or surviving corporation and which does
not result in any change in the Common Stock other than the issuance of additional shares of Common
Stock) or (iii) the sale, exchange, lease, transfer or other disposition of all
4.
or substantially
all of the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety (in any such case, a “Reorganization
Event”), then, as a condition of such Reorganization Event, lawful provisions shall be made,
and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be
delivered to the holders of the Warrants, so that the holders of the Warrants shall have the right
at any time prior to the expiration of the Warrants to purchase, at a total price equal to that
payable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable in connection with such Reorganization Event by a holder of the
same number of Warrant Shares as were purchasable by the holders of the Warrants immediately prior
to such Reorganization Event. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to
the rights and interests of the holders of the Warrants so that the provisions hereof shall
thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property
deliverable upon exercise the Warrants, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Warrant
Price payable hereunder provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. In the case of
any transaction described in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Company shall thereupon be relieved
of any further obligation hereunder or under the Warrants, and the Company as the predecessor
corporation may thereupon or at any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or liquidated. Such
successor or assuming entity thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name
or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Warrants issuable hereunder which heretofore shall
not have been signed by the Company, and may execute and deliver securities in its own name, in
fulfillment of its obligations to deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. All the
Warrants so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement
as the Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as
though all of such Warrants had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In any case of any
such Reorganization Event, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made
in the Warrants thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate. The Warrant Agent may receive a
written opinion of legal counsel as conclusive evidence that any such Reorganization Event complies
with the provisions of this Section 3.4.
(d) The Company may, at its option, at any time until the Expiration Date, reduce the then
current Warrant Price to any amount deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company for
any period not exceeding twenty consecutive days (as evidenced in a resolution adopted by such
Board of Directors), but only upon giving the notices required by Section 3.5 at least ten days
prior to taking such action.
(e) Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, no adjustment in the Warrant Price shall be
made by reason of the issuance of shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or securities carrying the right to purchase any of the
foregoing or for any other reason whatsoever.
(f) No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of Warrants. If more than
one Warrant shall be exercised at one time by the same holder, the number of full Warrant Shares
which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number
of Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to the Warrants so exercised. Instead of any fractional
Warrant Security which would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall
pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the
last reported sale price (or bid price if there were no sales) per Warrant Security, in either case
as reported on the principal registered national securities exchange on which the Warrant Shares
are listed or admitted to trading on the business day that next precedes the day of exercise or, if
the Warrant Shares are not then listed or admitted to trading on any registered national securities
exchange, the average of the closing high bid and low asked prices as reported on the OTC Bulletin
Board Service (the “OTC Bulletin Board”) operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. (“FINRA”) or, if not available on the OTC Bulletin Board, then the average of the closing high
bid and low asked prices as reported on any other U.S. quotation medium or inter-dealer quotation
system on such date, or if on any such date the Warrant Shares are not listed or admitted to
trading on a registered national securities exchange, are not included in the OTC Bulletin Board,
and are not quoted on any other U.S. quotation medium or inter-dealer quotation system, an amount
equal to the same fraction of the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by any
FINRA member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose at the close of
business on the business day that next precedes the day of exercise.
(g) Whenever the Warrant Price then in effect is adjusted as herein provided, the Company
shall mail to each holder of the Warrants at such holder’s address as it shall appear on the books
of the Company a statement setting forth the adjusted Warrant Price then and thereafter effective
under the provisions hereof, together with the facts, in reasonable detail, upon which such
adjustment is based.
5.
3.5 Notice To Warrantholders. In case the Company shall (a) effect any dividend or
distribution described in Section 3.4(b), (b) effect any Reorganization Event, (c) make any
distribution on or in respect of the Common Stock in connection with the dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company, or (d) reduce the then current Warrant Price pursuant to Section
3.4(d), then the Company shall mail to each holder of Warrants at such holder’s address as it shall
appear on the books of the Warrant Agent, at least ten days prior to the applicable date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the record date for such dividend or distribution, or,
if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of record of Common Stock that
will be entitled to such dividend or distribution are to be determined, (y) the date on which such
Reorganization Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and
the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
Reorganization Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or (z) the first date on which the
then current Warrant Price shall be reduced pursuant to Section 3.4(d). No failure to mail such
notice nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect any such transaction or any
adjustment in the Warrant Price required by Section 3.4.
3.6 [If The Warrants Are Subject To Acceleration By The Company, Insert—Acceleration Of
Warrants By The Company.
(a) At any time on or after , the Company shall have the right to
accelerate any or all Warrants at any time by causing them to expire at the close of business on
the day next preceding a specified date (the “Acceleration Date”), if the Market Price (as
hereinafter defined) of the Common Stock equals or exceeds percent ( %) of the then
effective Warrant Price on any twenty Trading Days (as hereinafter defined) within a period of
thirty consecutive Trading Days ending no more than five Trading Days prior to the date on which
the Company gives notice to the Warrant Agent of its election to accelerate the Warrants.
(b) “Market Price” for each Trading Day shall be, if the Common Stock is listed or admitted to
trading on any registered national securities exchange, the last reported sale price, regular way
(or, if no such price is reported, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices,
regular way) of Common Stock, in either case as reported on the principal registered national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or
admitted to trading on any registered national securities exchange, the average of the closing high
bid and low asked prices as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board operated by FINRA, or if not
available on the OTC Bulletin Board, then the average of the closing high bid and low asked prices
as reported on any other U.S. quotation medium or inter-dealer quotation system, or if on any such
date the shares of Common Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on a registered national
securities exchange, are not included in the OTC Bulletin Board, and are not quoted on any other
U.S. quotation medium or inter-dealer quotation system, the average of the closing bid and asked
prices as furnished by any FINRA member firm selected from time to time by the Company for that
purpose. “Trading Day” shall be each Monday through Friday, other than any day on which securities
are not traded in the system or on the exchange that is the principal market for the Common Stock,
as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) In the event of an acceleration of less than all of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall
select the Warrants to be accelerated by lot, pro rata or in such other manner as it deems, in its
discretion, to be fair and appropriate.
(d) Notice of an acceleration specifying the Acceleration Date shall be sent by mail first
class, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of a Warrant Certificate representing a Warrant
accelerated at such holder’s address appearing on the books of the Warrant Agent not more than
sixty days nor less than thirty days before the Acceleration Date. Such notice of an acceleration
also shall be given no more than twenty days, and no less than ten days, prior to the mailing of
notice to registered holders of Warrants pursuant to this Section 3.6, by publication at least once
in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York.
(e) Any Warrant accelerated may be exercised until [ ] p.m., [ ] time, on the
business day next preceding the Acceleration Date. The Warrant Price shall be payable as provided
in Section 2.]
ARTICLE 4
EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
6.
4.1 Exchange And Transfer Of Warrant Certificates. [If Common Stock with Warrants which are
immediately detachable—Upon] [If Common Stock with Warrants which are not immediately detachable—
Prior to the Detachable Date, a Warrant Certificate may be exchanged or transferred only together
with the Other Security to which the Warrant Certificate was initially attached, and only for the
purpose of effecting or in conjunction with an exchange or transfer of such Other Security. Prior
to any Detachable Date, each transfer of the Other Security shall operate also to transfer the
related Warrant Certificates. After the Detachable Date, upon] surrender at the corporate trust
office of the Warrant Agent, Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants may be exchanged for Warrant
Certificates in other denominations evidencing such Warrants or the transfer thereof may be
registered in whole or in part; provided that such other Warrant Certificates evidence Warrants for
the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares as the Warrant Certificates so surrendered. The Warrant
Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office, books in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers
of outstanding Warrant Certificates, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificates to the Warrant
Agent at its corporate trust office for exchange or registration of transfer, properly endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate instruments of registration of transfer and written instructions for
transfer, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. No service charge shall be
made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. Whenever any
Warrant Certificates are so surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, an authorized
officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver to the person or persons
entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates duly authorized and executed by the
Company, as so requested. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any exchange or
registration of transfer which will result in the issuance of a Warrant Certificate evidencing a
Warrant for a fraction of a Warrant Security or a number of Warrants for a whole number of Warrant
Shares and a fraction of a Warrant Security. All Warrant Certificates issued upon any exchange or
registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company,
evidencing the same obligations and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the
Warrant Certificate surrendered for such exchange or registration of transfer.
4.2 Treatment Of Holders Of Warrant Certificates. [If Common Stock and Warrants are not
immediately detachable—Prior to the Detachable Date, the Company, the Warrant Agent and all other
persons may treat the owner of the Other Security as the owner of the Warrant Certificates
initially attached thereto for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights
represented by the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificates, any notice to the contrary
notwithstanding. After the Detachable Date and prior to due presentment of a Warrant Certificate
for registration of transfer, the] [The] Company, the Warrant Agent and all other persons may treat
the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as
the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, any
notice to the contrary notwithstanding.
4.3 Cancellation Of Warrant Certificates. Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for exchange,
registration of transfer or exercise of the Warrants evidenced thereby shall, if surrendered to the
Company, be delivered to the Warrant Agent and all Warrant Certificates surrendered or so delivered
to the Warrant Agent shall be promptly canceled by the Warrant Agent and shall not be reissued and,
except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof.
The Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Company from time to time or otherwise dispose of
canceled Warrant Certificates in a manner satisfactory to the Company.

obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates against the Warrant
Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder which may
tend to involve it in any expense or liability, the
8.
payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it.
The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use by the
Company of any of the Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it
to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or for the application by the Company of the proceeds of
the Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any
default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the

(b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as agent by giving written notice to the Company
of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become
effective; provided that such date shall not be less than three months after the date on which such
notice is given unless the Company otherwise agrees. The Warrant Agent hereunder may be removed at
any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the Company
and specifying such removal and the intended date when it shall become effective. Such resignation
or removal shall take effect upon the appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a
successor Warrant Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company authorized under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization to exercise corporate trust powers) and the acceptance of such
appointment by such successor Warrant Agent. The obligation of the Company under Section 5.2(a)
shall continue to the extent set forth therein notwithstanding the resignation or removal of the
Warrant Agent.
(c) In case at any time the Warrant Agent shall resign, or shall be removed, or shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall commence a voluntary
case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or under any other
applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or shall consent to the
appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Warrant Agent or its property or affairs, or shall
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, or shall take corporate action in furtherance of any such
action, or a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have
been entered in respect of the Warrant Agent in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy
laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar law, or a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises
shall have been entered for the appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee,

any public officer shall take charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of its property or affairs
for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation, winding up or liquidation, a successor Warrant
Agent, qualified as aforesaid, shall be appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing, filed
with the successor Warrant Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Warrant Agent
and acceptance by the successor Warrant Agent of such appointment, the Warrant Agent shall cease to
be Warrant Agent hereunder.
(d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
its predecessor and to the Company an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon such successor Warrant Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such
predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, and such
predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become
obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to
receive, all monies, securities and other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as
Warrant Agent hereunder.
(e) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged or converted or any
corporation with which the Warrant Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger,
9.
conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to
which the Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all the assets and
business of the Warrant Agent, provided that it shall be qualified as aforesaid, shall be the
successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
