(f) Legends. The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global Warrants
and Definitive Warrants issued under this Agreement unless specifically stated otherwise in the
applicable provisions of this Agreement.
15
(i) Private Placement Legend.
(A) Except as permitted by subparagraph (B) below, each Global Warrant
and each Definitive Warrant (and all Warrants issued in exchange therefor or
substitution thereof) shall bear the legend in substantially the following form:
“This security and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon its exercise have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state
securities laws. Neither this security, the Warrant Shares to be issued upon its exercise nor any
interest or participation herein may be reoffered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered
or otherwise disposed of in the absence of such registration unless such transaction is exempt
from, or not subject to, such registration.
The Holder of this security and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon its exercise, by its
acceptance hereof,
(1) represents that (a) it is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under
the Securities Act), (b) it is a non-U.S. person and is acquiring this security and the Warrant
Shares to be issued upon its exercise in an offshore transaction within the meaning of Regulation S
under the Securities Act or (c) it is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of
subparagraph (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act, and
(2) agrees not to offer, sell or otherwise transfer this security or the Warrant Shares to be
issued upon its exercise or any interest or participation herein, prior to the date (the
“Resale Restriction Termination Date”) which is two years after the later of the original
issue date hereof and the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was the
owner of this security and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon its exercise (or any predecessor of
this security) except (a) to the Issuer or any Subsidiary thereof, (b) for so long as the
securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person it
reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional
buyer, to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (c)
pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
subject to the Issuer’s and the Warrant Agent’s, or the Transfer Agent’s, as applicable right prior
to any such offer, sale or transfer pursuant to this clause (c) to require the delivery of
an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information reasonably satisfactory to each of
them. In each of the foregoing cases, a certificate of transfer in the form appearing on the other
side of this security shall be completed and delivered by the transferor to the Warrant Agent or
Transfer Agent.
This legend will be removed upon the request of the Holder after the Resale Restriction
Termination Date.
The holder of this security and the warrant shares to be issued upon its exercise, by its
acceptance hereof, agrees not to engage in any hedging transaction unless in compliance
16
with the Securities Act. The holder of this security and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon
its exercise, by its acceptance hereof agrees that it will deliver to each person to whom this
security or any interest herein is transferred a notice substantially to the effect of these
legends.”
(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Warrant or Definitive Warrant
issued pursuant to subparagraphs (b)(iv), (c)(ii), (c)(iii),
(d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii) or (e)(iii) to this
Section 3.5 (and all Warrants issued in exchange therefor or substitution
thereof) shall not bear the Private Placement Legend.
(ii) Global Warrant Legend. Each Global Warrant shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:
“This Global Warrant is held by the Depositary (as defined in the Warrant Agreement governing
this Warrant) or its nominee in custody for the benefit of the beneficial owners hereof, and is not
transferable to any person under any circumstances except that (i) the Warrant Agent may make such
notations hereon as may be required pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Warrant Agreement, (ii) this
Global Warrant may be exchanged in whole but not in part pursuant to Section 3.5(a) of the Warrant
Agreement, (iii) this Global Warrant may be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation
pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Warrant Agreement and (iv) this Global Warrant may be transferred to
a successor Depositary with the prior written consent of the Company.”
(iii) Unit Legend. Each Warrant issued prior to the Separation Date shall bear
a legend in substantially the following form:
“The securities represented by this certificate constitute a portion of one or more Units (as
defined in the Warrant Agreement), each consisting of 13% Senior Secured Discount Notes due 2012 of
IdleAire Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) and one Warrant to purchase common stock
of the Company. Until the Separation Date (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), the securities
represented by this certificate may be transferred only together as a Unit. Following the
Separation Date, the securities represented by this certificate may be transferred without
reference to the foregoing restriction.”
(iv) Regulation S Legend. Each Warrant that is a Registrable Security and
issued pursuant to Regulation S shall bear the following legend on the face thereof:
“This Warrant and the securities to be issued upon its exercise have not been registered
under the Securities Act and the Warrant may not be exercised by or on behalf of any U.S.
person unless registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available. In order to exercise this Warrant, the holder must furnish to the Company and
the Warrant Agent either (a) a written certification that it is not a U.S. person and that
the Warrant is not being exercised on behalf of a U.S. person or (b) a written opinion of
counsel to the effect that the securities delivered upon exercise of the Warrant have been
registered under the Securities Act or that the delivery of such securities is exempt from
the registration
17
requirements of the Securities Act. Terms in this legend have the meanings given to them by
Regulation S under the Securities Act.”
(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Warrants. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a particular Global Warrant have been exercised or exchanged for Definitive Warrants
or a particular Global Warrant has been exercised, redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and
not in part, each such Global Warrant shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Warrant
Agent in accordance with Section 3.8 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if
any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is exercised or exchanged for or transferred to a
Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global
Warrant or for Definitive Warrants, the amount of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall
be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Warrant by the Warrant Agent
or by the Depositary at the direction of the Warrant Agent to reflect such reduction; and if the
beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Warrant, such other Global Warrant
shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Warrant by the
Warrant Agent or by the Depositary at the direction of the Warrant Agent to reflect such increase.
(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.
(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and
the Warrant Agent shall countersign Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants upon the
Company’s written order or at the Warrant Registrar’s request.
(ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global
Warrant or to a holder of a Definitive Warrant for any registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
(iii) All Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Global Warrants or Definitive Warrants shall be the duly authorized,
executed and issued warrants for Common Stock of the Company, not subject to any preemptive
rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Global Warrants or
Definitive Warrants surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(iv) In connection with the due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any
Warrant, the Warrant Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any
Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant for all purposes and neither the
Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
(v) The Warrant Agent shall countersign Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof.
18
(i) Facsimile Submissions to Warrant Agent. All certifications, certificates and
Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Warrant Registrar pursuant to this Section
3.5 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as to any certificates and/or certifications
delivered to the Warrant Registrar pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Warrant Registrar’s
duties shall be limited to confirming that any such certifications and certificates delivered to it
are in the form of Exhibits B and C hereto. The Warrant Registrar shall not be
responsible for confirming the truth or accuracy of representations made in any such certifications
or certificates. As to any Opinions of Counsel delivered pursuant to this Section 3.5, the
Warrant Registrar may rely upon, and be fully protected in relying upon, such opinions.
3.6. Replacement Warrants.
If any mutilated Warrant is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or the Company and the Warrant
Agent receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Warrant, the
Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of a Warrant Countersignature Order, shall
countersign a replacement Warrant if the Warrant Agent’s requirements are met. If required by the
Warrant Agent or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the holder that is sufficient
in the judgment of the Warrant Agent and the Company to protect the Company, the Warrant Agent and
any agent for purposes of the countersignature from any loss that any of them may suffer if a
Warrant is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Warrant.
Every replacement Warrant is an additional warrant of the Company and shall be entitled to all
of the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with all other Warrants duly issued
hereunder.
3.7. Temporary Warrants.
Until certificates representing Warrants are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and
issue and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of a Warrant Countersignature Order, shall countersign
temporary Warrants. Temporary Warrants shall be substantially in the form of certificated Warrants
but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Warrants and that
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Warrant Agent. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Warrant Agent shall countersign definitive Warrants in exchange for temporary
Warrants.
Holders of temporary Warrants shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement.
3.8. Cancellation.
Subject to Section 3.5(g) hereof, the Company at any time may deliver Warrants to the
Warrant Agent for cancellation. The Warrant Registrar and Warrant Paying Agent shall forward to
the Warrant Agent any Warrants surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or
exercise. The Warrant Agent and no one else shall cancel all Warrants surrendered for registration
of transfer, exchange, exercise, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy
19
canceled Warrants
(subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act).
Certification of the destruction of all canceled Warrants shall be delivered to the Company.
The Company may not issue new Warrants to replace Warrants that have been exercised or that have
been delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation.
Section 4. Separation of Initial Warrants; Exercise of Warrants; Terms of Warrants.
(a) The Notes and Initial Warrants shall not be separately transferable until the Separation
Date. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Warrant holder shall have the right, which may
be exercised during the period commencing at 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the Separation Date
and ending at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on December 15, 2015 (the “Exercise Period”),
to receive from the Company the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares that the
holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price for all Warrant Shares being purchased (i) in cash, by wire transfer, or
by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, (ii) by tendering Notes
having a principal amount at the time of tender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for all
Warrant Shares being purchased, (iii) by tendering Warrants as set forth below or (iv) any
combination of cash, Notes or Warrants. Each holder may elect, upon exercise of its Warrants
during the Exercise Period, to receive Warrant Shares on a net basis, such that, without the
exchange of any funds, the holder shall receive such number of Warrant Shares as shall equal the
product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares for which such Warrant is exercisable as of the date of
exercise (if the Exercise Price were being paid in cash) and (B) the Cashless Exercise Ratio. Each
Warrant not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 15, 2015 (the
“Expiration Date”) shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect
thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time.
(b) In order to exercise all or any of the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate, (i)
in the case of a Definitive Warrant, the holder thereof must surrender upon exercise the Warrant
Certificate to the Company with the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly
completed and executed at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent set forth in Section
18 hereof, (ii) in the case of a book-entry interest in a Global Warrant, the exercising
Participant whose name appears on a securities position listing of the Depositary as the holder of
such book-entry interest must comply with the Depositary’s procedures relating to the exercise of
such book-entry interest in such Global Warrant and (iii) in the case of interests in both Global
Warrants and Definitive Warrants, the holder thereof or the Participant, as applicable, shall
deliver to the Company at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent the form of election to
purchase on the reverse thereof duly completed and executed, which signature shall be medallion
guaranteed by an institution which is a member of a Securities Transfer Association recognized
signature guarantee program, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company
of the Exercise Price, for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then
exercised. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in accordance with Section
4(a) hereof.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, upon compliance with clause
(b) above, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered with all reasonable dispatch, to
or to the written order of the holder and in such name or names as the holder may designate, a
certificate or certificates for the number of whole Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
20
such Warrants or other securities or property to which such holder is entitled hereunder, together
with cash as provided in Section 9 hereof; provided, that if any
consolidation, merger or lease or sale of assets is proposed to be effected by the Company or its
subsidiaries as described in Section 8(f) hereof, or a tender offer or an exchange offer
for shares of Common Stock shall be made, upon such surrender of Warrants and payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with Section 4(b) above, the Company shall, as soon
as possible, but in any event not later than two Business Days thereafter, deliver or cause to be
delivered the full number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants in the
manner described in this sentence or other securities or property to which such holder is entitled
hereunder, together with cash as provided in Section 9 hereof. All certificates in this
Section 4(c) shall be deemed to have been issued and any Person so designated to be named
therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of
the surrender of such Warrants and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.
(d) The Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the holders thereof, either in full
or from time to time in part. If less than all the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate
are exercised, such Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered and a new Warrant Certificate of the
same tenor and for the number of Warrants that were not exercised shall be executed by the Company
and delivered to the Warrant Agent, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign the new Warrant
Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be directed in writing by the holder and shall
deliver or cause to be delivered the new Warrant Certificate to the Person or Persons entitled to
receive the same.
(e) All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be cancelled by the
Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent
in accordance with its customary procedures or, upon written order from the Company, shall be
returned to the Company. The Warrant Agent shall report promptly, but in no event later than two
Business Days, to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the
Company all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of the Warrant Shares through the
exercise of such Warrants.
(f) The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices given or received
hereunder available for inspection by the holders during normal business hours at its office. The
Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such number of copies of this
Agreement as the Warrant Agent may request.
Section 5. Payment of Taxes.
The Company shall pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax or taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that
of the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and
the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the
Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such
tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
21
Section 6. Reservation of Warrant Shares; Registration of Warrant Shares.
(a) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights,
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock and/or the authorized and issued
Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to
issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which
may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants and all Additional Warrants
that may be issued pursuant to Section 4.18 of the Indenture and Section 3(b) of the Purchase
Agreement; provided, that with respect to the Additional Warrants that may be issuable
under Section 4.18 of the Indenture, the Issuer shall cause its certificate of incorporation to be
amended and take all such additional action as is necessary to ensure compliance with this covenant
within 60 days following the Issue Date.
(b) The Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Transfer
Agent”) and every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company’s capital stock
issuable upon the exercise of any of the rights of purchase aforesaid shall be irrevocably
authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be
required for such purpose. The Company shall keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the
Transfer Agent and with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company’s capital
stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The
Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such Transfer
Agent the stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise thereof in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall supply such Transfer Agent with
duly executed certificates for such purposes and shall provide or otherwise make available any cash
which may be payable as provided in Section 9 hereof. The Company shall furnish such
Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments, and certificates related thereto, transmitted
to each holder pursuant to Section 12 hereof.
(c) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants shall, upon
issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens,
charges and security interests with respect to the issuance thereof.
Section 7. Obtaining Stock Exchange Listings.
The Company shall from time to time take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrant
Shares, immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, will be listed on a
principal securities exchange, automated quotation system or other market within the United States
of America, if any, on which other shares of Common Stock are then listed, if any.
Section 8. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Issuable.
(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. If the Company (i) pays a dividend or
makes a distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares of its Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combines its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iv) makes a distribution on its Common
Stock in shares of its capital stock other than Common Stock or (v) issues by reclassification of
its Common Stock any shares of its capital stock, then
22
the Exercise
Price shall be proportionately adjusted so that, after giving effect to Section 8(g),
the holder of any Warrant exercised after such action may receive the aggregate number and kind of
shares of capital stock of the Company which such holder would have owned immediately following
such action assuming the exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such action, or, if
applicable, the record date for such action.
The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a
dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or reclassification.
If, after an adjustment pursuant to clause (v) above, a holder of a Warrant upon
exercise of it may receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the
Company shall determine, in good faith, the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between the
classes of capital stock. After such allocation, the exercise privilege and the Exercise Price of
each class of capital stock shall after such action be subject to adjustment on terms comparable to
those applicable to Common Stock in this Section 8. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
(b) Adjustment for Distributions. If the Company distributes to all holders of its
Common Stock any of its assets (including cash), debt, or preferred stock or any rights or warrants
to purchase assets (including cash), debt, or preferred stock or other securities of the Company
(including Common Stock), the Company shall concurrently distribute to each holder of Warrants the
amount of such assets (including cash), debt, preferred stock, rights or warrants that would have
been distributed to such holder assuming the exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such
action or, if applicable, the record date for such action.
(c) Adjustment for Common Stock Issue.
(i) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock issued
pursuant to the PB Constructors SPA), then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that,
after such action (and giving effect to Section 8(g)), each Warrant shall be
exercisable for the same percentage of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company,
calculated on a fully-diluted basis (assuming the exercise of all outstanding securities and
rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, including the
Warrants), as such Warrant was exercisable for immediately prior to such issuance, or, if
applicable, the record date for such issuance.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made, and shall
become effective immediately after such issuance.
(ii) This Section 8(c) shall not apply to:
(1) any transactions described in subsections (a) or (b) of
this Section 8,
(2) the exercise of Warrants,
23
(3) the issuance of Common Stock issued upon conversion, exchange or
exercise of other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
Common Stock, the issuance of which convertible, exchangeable or exercisable
securities requires an adjustment to be made under Section 8(d), or
(4) the issuance of Common Stock (and Section 8(d) shall not apply to
options exercisable therefor) issued to employees, officers or directors of the
Company or its subsidiaries under bona fide employee benefit plans adopted by the
Board of Directors and approved by the holders of Common Stock when required by law
(but only to the extent that (i) the per share exercise price of such options equals
or exceeds the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant and
(ii) the aggregate number of shares excluded hereby and issued after the date of
this Agreement shall not exceed 1.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, on
a fully-diluted basis (assuming the exercise of all outstanding securities and
rights convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, including (x) the Initial
Warrants and (y) the Additional Warrants issued under Section 3(b) of the Purchase
Agreement), as of the date of this Agreement).
(iii) The provisions of this Section 8(c) and Section 8(d) below shall
not apply to, and shall terminate upon, the completion of a bona fide public offering
pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting; provided, that the net proceeds to the
Company of such offering exceed $100.0 million.
(d) Adjustment for Convertible Securities Issue. If the Company issues any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock (other than securities issued in
transactions described in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 8, but
including securities issued under the PB Constructors SPA in transactions not subject to
Section 8(c)), then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be
adjusted so that, after such action (and giving effect to Section 8(g)), each Warrant shall
be exercisable for the same percentage of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, calculated
on a fully-diluted basis (assuming the exercise of all outstanding securities and rights
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, including the Warrants), as such
Warrant was exercisable for immediately prior to such action, or, if applicable, the record date
for such action.
The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such issuance is made, and shall become
effective immediately after such issuance.
If all of the Common Stock deliverable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such
securities have not been issued when such securities are no longer outstanding, then the Exercise
Price shall promptly be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the
adjustment upon the issuance of such securities been made on the basis of the actual number of
shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities.
(e) Par Value of Shares of Common Stock. Before taking any action that would cause an
adjustment effectively reducing the portion of the Exercise Price allocable to each share
of Common Stock below the then par value per share of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion
24
of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable shares upon exercise of the Warrants at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.
(f) Reorganization of Company. If the Company consolidates or merges with or into, or
transfers or leases all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, upon consummation of such
transaction the Warrants shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other assets which the holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately after
the consolidation, merger, transfer or lease if the holder had exercised the Warrant immediately
before the consummation of the transaction. Concurrently with the consummation of such
transaction, the corporation formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger if other than
the Company, or the Person to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall enter into
a supplemental Warrant Agreement, including registration rights as nearly equivalent to those
provided under Section 10 as practicable, so providing and further providing for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for
in this Section 8(f). The successor Company shall mail to Warrant holders a notice
describing the supplemental Warrant Agreement. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon
exercise of Warrants under the supplemental Warrant Agreement is an Affiliate of the formed,
surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, such issuer shall join in the supplemental Warrant
Agreement.
(g) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to this Section 8, each Warrant outstanding prior to the making of the adjustment
shall thereafter evidence the right to receive upon payment of the adjusted Exercise Price that
number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained from the following
formula:
N’ | = | N | x | E | ||||||
E’ |
where:
N’ | = | the adjusted number of Warrant Shares | ||||
issuable upon exercise of a Warrant. | ||||||
N | = | the number or Warrant Shares | ||||
previously issuable upon exercise of a Warrant. | ||||||
E | = | the Exercise Price prior to adjustment. | ||||
E’ | = | the adjusted Exercise Price. |
(h) Form of Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the
number or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrants theretofore or
thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are
stated in the Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
(i) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever the Board of Directors of the
Company shall be required to make a determination in good faith of the Fair Market Value
hereunder, such determination may be challenged by holders holding in the aggregate a majority
of the then outstanding Warrants (without regard to any Warrants then held by the Company or
25
its Affiliates) (the “Majority Holders”), and any dispute shall be resolved by an investment
banking firm of national standing selected by the Company. The fee of such investment banking firm
shall be paid by the Company, unless such Fair Market Value as determined by the investment banking
firm is more than 95% of the Fair Market Value determined by the Board of Directors of the Company,
in which case the challenging holders shall be liable for such fee.
Section 9. Fractional Interests.
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of
Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the
same holder, the number of full Warrant Shares that shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof
shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of
the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of
this Section 9, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof),
the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share, as
determined on the day immediately preceding the date such Warrant is presented for exercise,
multiplied by such fraction, computed to the nearest whole U.S. cent.
Section 10. Piggy-Back Registration.
(a) Piggy-Back Registration Rights. If the Company proposes to file a registration
statement under the Securities Act (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any
successor form)), whether or not for its own account, then the Company shall give written notice of
such proposed filing to the holders of Warrants as soon as practicable (but in no event fewer than
10 Business Days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such holders the
opportunity to register such number of Warrant Shares as each such holder may request in writing
within 20 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company (which request shall specify
the Warrant Shares intended to be disposed of by such Selling Holder) (a “Piggy-Back
Registration”). Upon the written request of any such Selling Holder made within 20 days after
the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities
intended to be disposed of by such Selling Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof),
the Company shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, effect the registration under the
Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by
the holders thereof, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the
intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such
Registrable Securities in the registration statement that covers the securities that the Company
proposes to register; provided, that if at any time after giving written notice of its
intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement
filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either not
to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give
written notice of such determination to each Selling Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a
determination not to register shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the
Registration Expenses in connection therewith) and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay
registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same
period as the delay in registering such other securities.
26
(b) Inclusion in Registered Offering; Withdrawal. The Company shall cause the
managing underwriter or underwriters of such proposed offering to permit the Registrable Securities
requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included in the same terms and
conditions as any similar securities of the Company or any other security holder included therein
and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the
intended method of distribution thereof. Any Selling Holder shall have the right to withdraw its
request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to these
provisions by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw prior to the
effective date of such Registration Statement. The Company may withdraw a Piggy-Back Registration
at any time prior to the time it becomes effective or the Company may elect to delay such
registration; provided, that the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to
participating Selling Holders.
(c) Payment of Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses
in connection with registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section
10, and the Selling Holders shall pay the underwriting discounts, commissions, and transfer
taxes, if any, relating to the sale of such Selling Holders’ Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Section 10.
(d) Underwriter Cut-Back; Priority in Piggy-Back Registrations. If a registration
pursuant to this Section 10 involves an underwritten offering of the securities so being
registered, whether or not for sale for the account of the Company, the Company shall, if requested
by any Selling Holder and subject to the provisions of this Section 10, arrange for such
underwriters to include all the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by such Selling
Holder among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters. If the managing underwriter of
such underwritten offering shall, in writing, inform the Selling Holders requesting such
registration and the holders of any of the Company’s other securities which shall have exercised
registration rights in respect of such underwritten offering of its belief that the number of
securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in
(or during the time of) such offering, then the Company shall be required to include in such
registration statement only the amount of securities that it is so advised should be included in
such registration. In such event,
(i) in cases initially involving the registration for sale of securities for the Company’s own
account, securities shall be registered in such offering in the following order of priority: (x)
first, the securities that the Company proposes to register and (y) second, the securities that
have been requested to be included in such registration by Selling Holders and by Persons entitled
to exercise “piggy-back” registration rights pursuant to contractual commitments of the Company
(pro rata on the amount of securities sought to be registered by such Selling Holders and such
Persons; it being expressly understood that the Company may not reduce the amount of Registrable
Securities included in such registration unless it reduces the amount sought to be registered by
such Persons on a pro rata basis) and
(ii) in cases not initially involving the registration for sale of securities for the
Company’s own account, securities shall be registered in such offering as follows: (x) first, the
securities that have been requested to be included in such registration by Selling Holders and
other persons entitled to exercise registration rights pursuant to contractual commitments (pro
27
rata based on the amount of securities sought to be registered by such Holders and persons);
provided, that the Company may exclude securities sought to be registered by Selling
Holders if such registration is pursuant to a contractual “demand” registration right existing on
the Issue Date and such right expressly requires the Company to exclude such securities and (y)
second, the securities which the Company proposes to register.
(e) Underwriter Cut-Back; Shelf Registration Rights. The number of Registrable
Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration is subject to reduction pursuant
to Section 10(d) above. If as a result of such reduction (including pursuant to the
proviso of Section 10(d)(ii)(x)), the holders of Registrable Securities are unable to include such
Registrable Securities, the Company shall file a shelf registration statement on a Form S-3 or
successor form (or if not available, any other then available Form) with respect to such
Registrable Securities within 180 days, or such shorter time as the managing underwriter may agree,
but in no event less than 30 days, of the effectiveness of such registration statement, and the
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared
effective within 90 days of filing and to remain effective for a period of one year following the
effective date.
Section 11. Registration Procedures.
In connection with any Piggy-Back Registration, the Company shall (provided, that it
shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 11 that would, in the
written opinion of counsel for the Company, violate applicable law):
(a) no fewer than five Business Days prior to the initial filing of a Registration Statement
or Prospectus and no fewer than two Business Days prior to the filing of any amendment or
supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference), if requested, furnish to the Selling Holders, their counsel and the managing
underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other
than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) shall be subject to the review
of such Selling Holders, their counsel and such underwriters, if any, and cause the officers and
directors of the Company, counsel to the Company and independent certified public accountants to
the Company to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the opinion of respective
counsel to such Selling Holders and such underwriters and to conduct a reasonable investigation
within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided, that the Company shall not be deemed to
have kept a Registration Statement effective if it voluntarily takes or fails to take any action
that results in Selling Holders covered thereby not being able to sell such Registrable Securities
pursuant to Federal securities laws during that period;
(b) Take such action as may be necessary so that (i) any Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto and any Prospectus forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto
(and each report or other document incorporated herein by reference in each case) complies in all
material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the
respective rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Registration Statement and any amendment
thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading and (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any Registration Statement, and
28
any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(c) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to
each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously
effective; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement,
and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force)
under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during
such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth
in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented;
(d) Notify the Selling Holders, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly
(and in any case within two Business Days), and (if requested by any such Person), confirm such
notice in writing:
(i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has
been filed and (B) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment,
when the same has become effective;
(ii) of any request by the SEC or any other Federal or state governmental authority for
amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for
additional information;
(iii) of the issuance by the SEC, any state securities commission, any other
governmental agency or any court of any stop order or injunction suspending or enjoining the
use or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose;
(iv) if at any time any of the representations and warranties of either the Company
contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated hereby cease
to be true and correct in all material respects;
(v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for
sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose;
(vi) of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration
Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any
changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that,
in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and that in the case of the
Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact
29
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
(vii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to such
Registration Statement would be appropriate;
(e) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the
withdrawal of any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification)
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable
moment;
(f) If requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Selling Holders of a majority in
aggregate number of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection with such offering
reasonably in advance of the filing thereof, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriters, if any, and such Selling
Holders reasonably agree should be included therein, (ii) make all required filings of such
Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has
received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment and (iii) supplement or make amendments to such Registration Statement;
(g) Deliver to each Selling Holder, their counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without
charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and
each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably request; and the Company hereby
consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the
Selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto;
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to
register or qualify or cooperate with the Selling Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold or
tendered for, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the
registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any Selling Holder or underwriter reasonably requests in
writing; provided, that where Registrable Securities are offered other than through an
underwritten offering, the Company agrees to (i) cause its counsel to perform “blue sky”
investigations and file registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this
Section 11(h); (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to keep each such registration or
qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is
required to be kept effective; and (iii) use its reasonable best efforts do any and all other acts
or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be
required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified
or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction
where it is not
30
then so subject or subject the Company to any tax in any such jurisdiction where it
is not then so subject;
(i) In connection with any sale or transfer of Registrable Securities that will result in such
securities no longer being Registrable Securities, cooperate with the Selling Holders and the
managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
(with appropriate CUSIP numbers) representing Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates
shall not bear any restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with DTC, and to
enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the
managing underwriters, if any, or Holders may request at least two Business Days prior to any sale
of Registrable Securities;
(j) Use its best efforts to cause the offering of the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
authorities within the United States, except as may be required as a consequence of the nature of
such Selling Holder’s business, in which case the Company shall cooperate in all reasonable
respects at the expense of such Selling Holder with the filing of such Registration Statement and
the granting of such approvals as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the
underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or subject the
Company to any tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;
(k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 11(d)(vi) or
11(d)(vii), as promptly as practicable, prepare a supplement or amendment, including, if
appropriate, a post-effective amendment, to each Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference,
and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, such Prospectus will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Selling Holders of the
occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 11(d)(vi) or 11(d)(vii) above, the
Selling Holders shall suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes to the
Prospectus have been made;
(l) Enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and
substance as is customary in underwritten offerings) and take all such other reasonable actions in
connection therewith (including those reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or
the Selling Holders of a majority in aggregate number of the Registrable Securities being sold) in
order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such
connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the
registration is an underwritten registration,
(i) make such representations and warranties to the Selling Holders of such Registrable
Securities and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the business of the Company
(including with respect to businesses or assets acquired or to be acquired by it), and the
Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or
31
deemed to be
incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are
customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings, and confirm the same
if and when requested;
(ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and
opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing or
sole underwriters, if any, addressed to the underwriters, if any, covering the matters
customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters
as may be reasonably requested by such underwriters);
(iii) obtain customary “comfort” letters and updates thereof (including, if such
registration includes an underwritten public offering, a “bring down” comfort letter dated
the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement) from the independent certified
public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public
accountants of any business which may hereafter be acquired by the Company for which
financial statements and financial data are required to be included in the Registration
Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, if any, such letters to be in customary
form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection
with underwritten offerings and such other matters as reasonably required by the managing
underwriter or underwriters and as permitted by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72;
(iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain
indemnification provisions and procedures acceptable to holders of a majority in aggregate
number of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and the managing
underwriters); and
(v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the
holders of a majority in aggregate number of the Registrable Securities being sold, their
counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 11(n)(i) above and to
evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or
other agreement entered into by the Company;
(m) Make available for inspection by one representative of the Selling Holders, the managing
underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any
attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Selling Holders or underwriter (collectively,
the “Inspectors”), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours,
all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
(including with respect to business and assets acquired or to be acquired to the extent that such
information is available to the Company), and cause the officers, directors, agents and employees
of the Company (including with respect to business and assets acquired or to be acquired to the
extent that such information is available to the Company) to supply all
information in each case reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such
Registration; provided, the Company may first require that such Persons agree to keep
confidential any non-public information relating to the Company received by such Person and not
disclose such information (other than to an Affiliate or prospective purchaser who agrees to
32
respect the confidentiality provisions of this Section 11(m)) until such information has
been made generally available to the public (other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to
safeguard by such Inspector) unless the release of such information is required by law or necessary
to respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities (including the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners, or similar organizations or their successors); without limiting the foregoing, no
such information shall be used by such Inspector as the basis for any market transactions in
securities of the Company or its subsidiaries, if any, in violation of law;
(n) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available
to their security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act)
no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any
12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in
which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or reasonable efforts
underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering commencing on the
first day of the first fiscal quarter after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which
statement shall cover said period, consistent with the requirements of Rule 158; and
(o) Use its best efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the
registration, offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement.
The Company may require each Selling Holder as to which any registration is being effected to
furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such Registrable Securities
as is required by law to be disclosed in the applicable Registration Statement, and the Company may
exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any Selling Holder who unreasonably
fails to furnish such information promptly after receiving such request.
If any such Registration Statement refers to any Selling Holder by name or otherwise as the
holder or any securities of the Company, then such Selling Holder shall have the right to require
(i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
Selling Holder, to the effect that the holding by such Selling Holder of such securities is not to
be construed as a recommendation by such Selling Holder of the investment quality of the Company’s
securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Selling Holder will
assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the event that such
reference to such Selling Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any
similar Federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Selling Holder in any
amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that
such reference ceases to be required.
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder and each person, if any,
who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act (each Holder and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as the
“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint
or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Registrable Securities) to
33
which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus relating to a shelf registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the
Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof;
provided, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or
in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a shelf
registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Selling

Company shall promptly thereafter (i) cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent a certificate of a
firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors of
the Company (who may be the regular auditors of the Company) setting forth the Exercise Price after
such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon
which such calculations are based and setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (or portion
thereof) issuable after such adjustment in the Exercise Price, upon exercise of a Warrant and
payment of the adjusted Exercise Price, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the
correctness of the matters set forth therein, and (ii) cause to be given to each of the registered
holders of Warrants at the address appearing on the Warrant register for each such registered
holder written notice of such adjustments by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Where appropriate,
such notice may be given in advance and included as a part of the notice required to be mailed
under the other provisions of this Section 12.
(b) In the event:
(i) that the Company shall authorize the issuance of rights, options or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or of any other subscription rights or
warrants;
(ii) that the Company shall authorize a dividend or distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock;
(iii) of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which
approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance or transfer of
the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety, or of any
reclassification or change of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value
34
to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or a tender offer or
exchange offer by the Company for shares of Common Stock;
(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company; or
(v) that the Company proposes to take any action that would require an adjustment of
the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 8 hereof;
then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent and shall cause to be given to each
registered holder of Warrants at his address appearing on the Warrant register, at least 10
Business Days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified (or in the case of events
for which there is no record date, at least 10 Business Days prior to such event), by electronic
transmission or first-class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice stating the date such event
will occur and, to the extent applicable, (x) the date as of which the holders of record of shares
of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution are to be determined,
(y) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender offer or exchange offer for shares of
Common Stock or (z) the date on which any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or consummated, and the date
as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to
exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 12 or any defect therein shall
not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant, consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any action.
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Warrant Certificates shall be
construed as conferring upon the holders of Warrants the right 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, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company.
Section 13. Merger, Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent.
(a) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant
Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Warrant Agent, shall
be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case at the time such successor to the
Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, and in case at that time any
of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to
the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent; and in case at that
time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the
Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor
Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor to the Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such
Warrant Certificates shall have the full force and effect provided in the Warrant Certificates and
in this Agreement.
35
(b) In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of
the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent whose
name has been changed may adopt the countersignature under its prior name, and in case at that time
any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may
countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name, and in all
such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force and effect provided in the Warrant
Certificates and in this Agreement.
Section 14. Warrant Agent.
The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and obligations expressly imposed by this Agreement
upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Warrants,
by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound:
(a) The statements contained herein and in the Warrant Certificates shall be taken as
statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of
any of the same except such as describe the Warrant Agent or action taken or to be taken by it.
The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility with respect to the distribution of the Warrant
Certificates except as herein otherwise provided.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with
any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates to be complied with
by the Company.
(c) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel satisfactory to it (who may be
counsel for the Company) and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the
Company or to any holder of any Warrant Certificate in respect of any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the written opinion or the written
advice of such counsel. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in
good faith by any officer within its corporate trust department or a person performing similar
functions, unless it is proved that the Warrant Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to this
Agreement or which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers under
this Agreement. The Warrant Agent may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be
responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. The duties of
the Warrant Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and the
Warrant Agent need perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no
covenants or obligations shall be implied in or read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent.
The permissive right of the Warrant Agent to take any action under this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty to so act. The Warrant Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the
Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or
attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder.
(d) The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any
holder of any Warrant Certificate for any action taken or not taken in reliance on any
36
Warrant Certificate, certificate of shares or other written evidence of indebtedness, notice,
resolution, waiver, statement, instrument, opinion, report, request, direction, consent, order,
certificate, or other paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties. The Warrant Agent shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any such Warrant Certificate,
certificate of shares or other evidence of indebtedness, notice, resolution, waiver, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, request, direction, consent, order, certificate or other paper or
document, but the Warrant Agent, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation
into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and if the Warrant Agent shall determine to make such
further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled, upon reasonable written notice to the
Company and during normal business hours, to examine the books, records and premises of the
Company, personally or by agent or attorney and to consult with the officers and representatives of
the Company, including the Company’s accountants and attorneys.
(e) The Company agrees to pay promptly to the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation for all
services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement, to reimburse promptly
the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other charges of any kind
and nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement (including fees and
expenses of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company). The Company shall indemnify the Warrant
Agent against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, including the
costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement against the Company and defending itself against any
claim (whether asserted by the Company or any holder or any other person) or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the
extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence or bad
faith. The Warrant Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which the Warrant
Agent may seek indemnity. Failure by the Warrant Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve
the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Warrant Agent
shall cooperate in the defense; provided, that any settlement of a claim shall be approved
in writing by the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may have separate counsel, and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any
settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Warrant
Agent, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Warrant Agent in each of its capacities hereunder, including the Warrant
Agent’s officers, directors, agents and employees, and each agent, custodian and other person
employed to act hereunder.
(f) The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal
proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more
registered holders of Warrants shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and
indemnity for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the
power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as it may consider proper, whether with or without
any such security or indemnity. All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the
Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrant
Certificates or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any
such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought
37
in its name as Warrant Agent and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of
the registered holders of the Warrants, as their respective rights or interests may appear.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, any holder of a Warrant, without the
consent of the Warrant Agent, may, in and for its own behalf, enforce, and may institute and
maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, its right to
exercise its Warrants in the manner provided in such Warrants and in this Agreement.
(g) The Warrant Agent, and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of it, may buy, sell
or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested
in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the
Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this
Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for
the Company or for any other legal entity.
(h) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for the Company, and its duties
shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent does not assume any
obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holder of the Warrants. The Warrant
Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with
this Agreement except for its own gross negligence or bad faith.
(i) The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder
of any Warrant Certificate to make or cause to be made any adjustment of the Exercise Price or
number of the Warrant Shares or other securities or property deliverable as provided in this
Agreement, or to determine whether any facts exist which may require any of such adjustments, or
with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustments, when made, or with respect to the
method employed in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the
validity or value or the kind or amount of any Warrant Shares or of any securities or property
which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or with respect to
whether any such Warrant Shares or other securities will when issued be validly issued and fully
paid and nonassessable, and makes no representation with respect thereto.
(j) The Warrant Agent shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur
any liability (financial or otherwise) on the performance of its obligations and duties hereunder.
The Warrant Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance or
exercise of its powers or duties hereunder.
(k) The obligations of the Company under this Section 14 shall survive the exercise
and the expiration of the Warrant Certificates or the resignation and removal of the Warrant Agent.
(l) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on, and shall not be
required to invest, any monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Agreement or of the Warrant Certificates. Money and assets held in trust by the Warrant Agent need
not be segregated from other funds or assets held by the Warrant Agent except to the extent
required by law.
38
(m) No Warrant Agent under this Agreement shall be personally liable for any action or
omission of any predecessor or successor Warrant Agent.
(n) As a condition to taking any action requested by the Company under this Agreement, the
Warrant Agent may request a certificate of an Officer of the Company to the effect that the
requested action complies with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
(o) The Warrant Agent shall not incur any liability with respect to the validity of this
Agreement (except as to the due execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or any Warrant Certificate
(except as to the countersignature thereof by the Warrant Agent).
(p) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any of the recitals or representations
contained herein (except as to such statements or recitals describe the Warrant Agent or action
taken or to be taken by it) or in any Warrant Certificate (except as to the Warrant Agent’s
countersignature on such Warrant Certificate).
Section 15. Change of Warrant Agent.
If the Warrant Agent shall resign or become incapable of acting as Warrant Agent, the Company
shall appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such
appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such incapacity by
the Warrant Agent or by the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate, then the registered holder
of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
to the Warrant Agent. Pending appointment of a successor to such Warrant Agent, either by the
Company or by such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company.
The holders of a majority of the unexercised Warrants shall be entitled at any time to remove the
Warrant Agent and appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent. Such successor to the Warrant Agent
need not be approved by the Company or the former Warrant Agent. After appointment the successor
to the Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as
if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; provided,
that the former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor to the Warrant Agent any
property at the time held by it hereunder and execute and deliver any further assurance,
conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose upon written request therefor. Failure to give
any notice provided for in this Section 15, however, or any defect therein, shall not
affect the legality or validity of the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent.
Section 16. Reports.
(a) The Company agrees with each holder, for so long as any Warrants or Warrant Shares remain
outstanding and during any period in which the Company (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any holder, to such holder or beneficial owner
of Warrants or Warrant Shares in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of
such Warrants or Warrant Shares designated by such holder or beneficial owner, the information
required by Rule 144(A)(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Warrants
or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, to make all filings required thereby in a

on or before April 30, 2006, a report that contains quarterly financial information required of a
reporting company under the Exchange Act for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006 within the
time period specified for such report under the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, and (B)
if the Company shall not file a registration statement with respect to its Common Stock on Form 10
(or any successor form) on or before April 30, 2006, a report that contains the annual financial
information required of a reporting company under the Exchange Act for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005 on or before April 30, 2006.

reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Warrants. The
Company shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent of any change in the CUSIP number.
