is less than the initial public offering price per share of the Common Stock and (2) the Warrants
are approved for listing, subject to official notice of issuance, on the NYSE or NYSE Amex
(together, the “Issuance Conditions”). Only purchasers of Common Stock in the initial public
offering of the Common Stock (the “IPO”) will be eligible to receive Warrants issued pursuant to
this Warrant Agreement (each, a “Qualifying Stockholder”) and then only with respect to shares of
Common Stock that they (i) purchased in the IPO, (ii) have held continuously for the full Holding
Period and (iii) have not, directly or indirectly, sold, offered, contracted or granted any option
to sell (including without limitation any short sale), pledged, transferred, established an open
“put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act on, or
otherwise disposed of, or publicly announced an intention to do any of the foregoing, with respect
to any of such shares during such Holding Period (each, a “Qualifying Share”). The Company shall
promptly notify the Warrant Agent in writing upon the satisfaction of the Issuance Conditions and,
if such notification is given orally, the Company shall confirm same in writing on or prior to the
Business Day next following. Until such notice is received by the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent
may presume conclusively for all purposes that the Issuance Conditions have not been met. If the
Issuance Conditions are satisfied, the Company or its agent shall cause a Contingent Warrant
Issuance Form to be mailed to registered and beneficial owners of Common Stock as of the last day
of the Holding Period, together with a letter of instruction pursuant to which the Company shall
instruct each such beneficial owner that is a Qualifying Stockholder to properly complete, sign and
return a Contingent Warrant Issuance Form to the Company within the time period specified therein.
The Contingent Warrant Issuance Form shall contain representations and warranties as to (x) the
number of shares of Common Stock that they purchased in the IPO, (y) the number of Qualifying
Shares that they hold and (z) certain other matters set forth in the Contingent Warrant Issuance
Form. Subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Prospectus, the Contingent Warrant
Issuance Form and this Agreement, upon receipt by the Company of properly completed Contingent
Warrant Issuance Forms duly executed by the Qualifying Stockholders eligible to receive Warrants
pursuant to this Agreement and the Contingent Warrant Issuance Form, the Company shall issue, for
no additional consideration and in accordance with Section 2(c), an aggregate number of Warrants
equal to the number of Qualifying Shares held by all such Qualifying Stockholders.
(b) The number of shares of Common Stock that each Warrant will give the holder thereof the
right to purchase (the “Warrant Shares”) in respect of each Qualifying Share held by a Qualifying
Stockholder as of the Close of Business on the last day of the Holding Period will be determined by
the Company based on the extent to which the 30-Day VWAP is less than the IPO price per share of
Common Stock sold in the IPO, as follows:
30-Day | Number of Warrant Shares | |
VWAP | to be issued in respect of each Qualifying Share(1)(2) | |
4
30-Day | Number of Warrant Shares | |
VWAP | to be issued in respect of each Qualifying Share(1)(2) | |
(1) | If the 30-Day VWAP is between two of the 30-Day VWAP data points shown above, the number of Warrant Shares that will be issuable to a Qualifying Stockholder pursuant to each Warrant in respect of each Qualifying Share held by such Qualifying Stockholder at the Close of Business on the last day of the Holding Period will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the two 30-Day VWAP data points (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a share). | |
(2) | A minimum of 200,000 Warrants will be issued to satisfy the applicable NYSE Amex listing standards. |
(c) Warrants shall be issued in registered form only. Prior to the issuance of any Warrants
pursuant to this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Warrant
Agent, for authentication and delivery, all Warrant Certificates, together with an Authentication
Order with respect thereto, evidencing the aggregate number of Warrants to be issued. The Warrant
Agent shall have, upon receipt of such Warrant Certificates and Authentication Order, authenticated
and delivered such Warrant Certificates in accordance with this Section 2(c) and registered such
Warrants in the name of the Holder, initially the Depositary, in accordance with this Section 2(c).
All such Warrants shall be dated as of the Issuance Date.
(d) Each Warrant Certificate shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B
hereto and shall have such insertions as are appropriate or required or permitted by this Warrant
Agreement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends and
endorsements, stamped, printed, lithographed or engraved thereon, (i) as the Company may deem
appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, (ii) such as
may be required to comply with this Warrant Agreement, any law or any rule of any national
securities exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, and (iii) such as may be necessary to
conform to customary usage.
(e) The Warrants shall initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Warrants
registered in the name of the Depositary and delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Depository, or
its custodian, for crediting to the accounts of the Agent Members pursuant to procedures of the
Depositary. Any Global Warrant shall bear the legend substantially in the form set forth on the
face of the Warrant Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Global Warrant Legend”).
(f) The Company shall cause to be kept at the office of the Warrant Agent, and the Warrant
Agent shall maintain, a register (the “Warrant Register”) in which the Company shall provide for
the registration of Warrants and transfers, exchanges or substitutions of Warrants as herein
provided. All Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of or substitution for
Warrants shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and entitled
to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement, as Warrants surrendered for such registration of
transfer, exchange or substitution. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant Agreement to the
contrary, the Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to take any action whatsoever with respect to
an exchange or registration of transfer unless and until it is satisfied that all payments needed
to cover any stamp or tax or other charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange
or registration of transfer have been paid.
(g) So long as a Global Warrant is registered in the name of the Depositary, members of, or
participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Warrant Agreement
with respect
5
to the Global Warrant held on their behalf by the Depositary or Mellon Investor Services LLC
as its custodian, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent
of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Warrant for all purposes.
Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in such Global Warrant will be shown only on, and
the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary
or its Agent Members, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any responsibility
with respect to such records maintained by the Depositary or its Agent Members. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the
Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or (ii) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent
Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder.
(h) Any holder of a Global Warrant registered in the name of the Depositary shall, by
acceptance of such Global Warrant, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global
Warrant may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the holder of such Global
Warrant (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in Warrants represented thereby
shall be required to be reflected in book-entry form.
(i) Transfers of a Global Warrant registered in the name of the Depositary shall be limited to
transfers in whole, and not in part, to the Company, the Depositary, and their respective
successors and nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Warrant registered in the name
of the Depositary shall be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the
Depositary.
(j) A Global Warrant registered in the name of the Depositary shall be exchanged for a Warrant
represented by a Warrant Certificate, in definitive, fully registered form, that is not a Global
Warrant (a “Certificated Warrant”) only if (i) the Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under Section
17A of the Exchange Act and (B) a successor to the Depositary registered as a clearing agency under
Section 17A of the Exchange Act is not able to be appointed by the Company within 90 days or (ii)
the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as the Depositary and a successor to
the Depositary is not able to be appointed by the Company within 90 days. In any such event, a
Global Warrant registered in the name of the Depositary shall be surrendered to the Warrant Agent
for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall either manually or by
facsimile signature countersign and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary,
in exchange for such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in such Global Warrant, Certificated
Warrants representing, in the aggregate, the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such
Global Warrant with respect to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest. Interests in the
Global Warrant may not be exchanged for Certificated Warrants other than as provided in this
Section 2(j).
(k) The holder of a Global Warrant registered in the name of the Depositary may grant proxies
and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests
through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Warrant
Agreement or a Warrant.
(l) All Warrants issued under this Warrant Agreement shall in all respects be equally and
ratably entitled to the benefits hereof, without preference, priority, or distinction on account of
the actual time of the issuance and authentication or any other terms thereof.
(m) Warrants shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any of the Chairman, its Chief
Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, its President, its Chief Operating Officer or any
Vice President and attested by its Secretary, its Treasurer or any one of its Assistant Secretaries
or Assistant Treasurers. The signature of any of these officers on any Warrant may be manual or
facsimile. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such signature shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any Warrant that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the
Warrant Agent.
(n) Warrants bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals, each of whom was, at
the time he or she signed such Warrant or his or her facsimile signature was affixed to such
Warrant, as the case may be, a proper officer of the Company, shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
6
have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Warrants or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Warrants.
(o) No Warrant shall be entitled to any benefit under this Warrant Agreement or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Warrant a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Warrant Agent by manual or facsimile
signature, and such certificate upon any Warrant shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Warrant has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 3. Transfer of Warrant.
(a) Registration of Transfer. Subject to Section 2(i), the Warrant Agent shall
register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register,
upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed
and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer, and all other necessary information
required to effect such transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal
aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant
Agent. The Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time
to time upon request.
(b) Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant
Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer and all other necessary
information, and thereupon the Warrant Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new
Warrants as requested by the registered holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an
equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that in the event that a Warrant surrendered
for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue
new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for
the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must
also bear a restrictive legend.
(c) Fractional Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any
registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a Warrant Certificate for
a fraction of a Warrant.
(d) Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration
of transfer of Warrants.
(e) Warrant Execution and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to
countersign either manually or by facsimile and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants required to be issued pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 3, and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply
the Warrant Agent with such Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company for such
purpose.
Section 4. Surrender; Redemption.
(a) Surrender of Warrant Certificates; Cancellation. Any Warrant Certificate
surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, substitution or exercise of Warrants
represented 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
cancelled by the Warrant Agent and shall not be reissued by the Company and, except as provided in
Section 2(j) in the case of an exchange or Section 7(b) in case of mutilation, no Warrant
Certificate shall be issued hereunder in lieu thereof. The Warrant Agent shall deliver to the
Company from time to time or otherwise dispose of such cancelled Warrant Certificates as the
Company may direct.
(b) Redemption.
(i) At any time while the Warrants are exercisable and there is an effective registration
statement covering the Warrant Shares that are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants available and
a current prospectus relating to the Warrant Shares that are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
is available, the
7
Company may call the outstanding Warrants for redemption in whole and not in part, at a price
of $.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”) at any time after the Warrants become exercisable,
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “Redemption Period”) to each
Holder and the Warrant Agent (the “Notice of Redemption”), and if, and only if, the reported last
sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $27.75 per share for any 20 Trading Days within a
30 Trading Day period ending on the third Business Day prior to but not including the date the
Notice of Redemption is delivered to the Holders and the Warrant Agent. The Company shall call the
Warrants for redemption by mailing the Notice of Redemption via first-class mail to each Holder and
the Warrant Agent. The Company shall also announce the redemption, including the date specified
for redemption, at the time of mailing of the Notice of Redemption by filing a Current Report on
Form 8-K with the SEC.
(ii) The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the Warrants are exercised prior to the
date specified in the Notice of Redemption. On and after the date that such a redemption occurs,
each Holder will have no further rights except to receive the Redemption Price for each of the
Holder’s Warrants upon surrender of such Warrant(s). The Company shall not redeem any Warrants
unless an effective registration statement covering the Warrant Shares that are issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to the Warrant Shares that
are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is available throughout the Redemption Period.
(iii) If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a Notice of Redemption
with respect to the Warrants, each Holder shall be entitled to exercise his, her or its Warrants
prior to the scheduled redemption date.
(c) If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption, it may, in its sole discretion, require
all Holders that wish to exercise Warrants to do so pursuant to a “cashless exercise” in which the
Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) | = | the fair market value of the Common Stock; | ||||
(B) | = | the Exercise Price of the applicable Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and | ||||
(X) | = | the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of the applicable Warrant in accordance with the terms of such Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise. |
If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section
4(c), be issuable as a result of the cashless exercise of any Warrants, the Company may, in its
sole discretion, pay an amount in cash equal to the fair market value, multiplied by such fraction.
The “fair market value” of the Common Stock for purposes of this Section 4 shall be determined by
the Company based on the average of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock reported on
the NYSE (or other primary United States exchange or market on which shares of Common Stock are
listed or admitted to trading) for the 10 Trading Days ending on but not including the third
Trading Day prior to the date on which the Notice of Redemption is delivered to the Holders and the
Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm
whether the Company’s calculations, including its determination of the number of Warrant Shares to
be issued on such exercise, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement and this Section 4(c), is accurate or
correct.
Section 5. Exercise.
(a) Exercise of Warrant.
(i) At any time from the date of issuance of a Warrant (the “Issuance Date”) until the Close
of Business on the Expiration Date, a Holder shall be entitled to exercise, in accordance with this
Section 5, the full number of Warrants owned by such Holder or any portion thereof (which shall not
include any fractional Warrants). Any Warrants not exercised prior to the Close of Business on the
Expiration Date shall expire unexercised.
8
(ii) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by a Warrant may be made, in whole or in
part, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date and prior to the Close of Business on the
Expiration Date by delivery to the Warrant Agent of a properly completed and duly executed
facsimile copy of the Exercise Notice; and, within three Trading Days of the date a properly
completed and duly executed Exercise Notice is delivered to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent
shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares thereby purchased
by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank of, if available, pursuant to the
cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 4(c). Partial exercises of a Warrant resulting in
purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available thereunder shall have the
effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable thereunder in an amount
equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Warrant Agent shall
maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.
The Warrant Agent shall deliver any objection to any Exercise Notice received from any Holder
within one Business Day of receipt of the same.
(iii) To exercise a Warrant prior to the Close of Business on the Expiration Date, any Holder
must also comply with the procedures established by the Depositary for the exercise of Warrants.
(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under the
Warrants shall be $[_____], subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
(c) Mechanics of Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for Warrant Shares purchased
hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission (“DWAC”) system if the Company is then a participant in such system, and otherwise by
physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice by the date that is
three Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice, (B)
surrender of the Warrant Certificate (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price
as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share
Delivery Date”). A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which all
of the foregoing have been delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to
have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed
to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the date the
Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Warrant Agent of the Exercise Price (or by cashless
exercise, if applicable) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, prior to the
issuance of such Warrant Shares, having been paid.
(ii) No Fractional Shares or Scrip upon Exercise of Warrants. No fractional shares or
scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant. If a Holder
exercises Warrants and would be entitled to receive a fractional interest of a share of Common
Stock, the Warrant Agent shall, upon such exercise, round up the number of shares of Common Stock
to be issued to the Holder to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock.
(iii) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall
be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in
respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the
Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names
as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant
Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, a Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Form of Assignment set forth on the reverse of the Warrant
Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Holder, and the Company may
require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer
tax incidental thereto.
(iv) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in
any manner which prevents the timely exercise of any Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(v) Option to Pay Cash in Lieu of Issuing Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding anything in
this Warrant Agreement to the contrary, upon the valid exercise of a Warrant pursuant to this
Section 5, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation in lieu of issuing some or all
of the Warrant Shares that are
9
issuable to the Holder as a result of the exercise of the Warrant, to pay cash in an amount
equal to the fair market value of such Warrant Shares. If the Company exercises this right, it
shall cause the cash payment in respect of such Warrant Shares to be paid to the Holder within
three Trading Days following the Warrant Share Delivery Date. The “fair market value” for purposes
of this Section 5(c)(v) shall be determined by the Company based on the average of the last
reported sale price of the Common Stock reported on the NYSE (or other primary United States
exchange or market on which shares of Common Stock are listed or admitted to trading) for the 10
Trading Days ending on the third Trading Day prior to but not including the date on which the
properly completed and executed Exercise Notice is delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Holder
exercising the Warrant.
(d) Restrictions on Exercise of Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no Warrant may be exercised if it would cause the Holder to Beneficially Own or
Constructively Own, within the meaning of the Company’s charter, outstanding shares of Common Stock
in excess of the Stock Ownership Limit, Excepted Holder Limit or other restrictions contained in
Article VII of the Company’s charter, assuming for such purpose that the Company elects to issue
Warrant Shares to such Holder upon exercise rather than paying cash to such Holder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to monitor any
Person’s compliance with or take any action with respect to this Section 5(d). Defined terms used
in this Section 5(d) that are not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings
provided for in the Company’s charter. In no event will the Company be required to settle the
exercise of the Warrants on a net cash basis.
(e) All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with
this Warrant Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Section 6. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while any Warrant is
outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable
in shares of Common Stock on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent
securities (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by
the Company upon exercise of a Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of
shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the
Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the
aggregate Exercise Price of each Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 6(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. If the Company, at any time while any Warrant is
outstanding, shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the
Holders) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share
less than the Daily VWAP on the record date mentioned below, then, the Exercise Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of the Common
Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants plus the number of
additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such
rights, options or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the
total number of shares so offered (assuming receipt by the Company in full of all consideration
payable upon exercise of such rights, options or warrants) would purchase at such Daily VWAP. Such
adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued, and shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights, options or warrants.
(c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while any Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holders) evidence of
its indebtedness or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the
Common Stock (which rights or warrants to
10
subscribe for or purchase Common Stock shall be subject to Section 6(b)), then in each such
case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the Daily VWAP determined as of the
record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such Daily VWAP on such record
date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or
evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be
described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.
Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective
immediately after the record date mentioned above.
(d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while any Warrant is outstanding, (i) the
Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly,
effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or
substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or
indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person)
is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange
their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or
more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more
related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common
Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted
into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then,
upon any subsequent exercise of a Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence
of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 5(d) on the exercise
of a Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of
the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental
Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 5(d) on the exercise of a Warrant). For
purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration
issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company
shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If
holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received
in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate
Consideration it receives upon any exercise of a Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an
all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange
Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national
securities exchange, including, but not limited to, the NYSE, the NYSE Amex, the Nasdaq Global
Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company or any Successor
Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with,
or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase a Warrant from
the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the
remaining unexercised portion of a Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental
Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of a Warrant based on the Black and Scholes
Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of
consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a
risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time
between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the
Expiration Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 25% and the 100 day volatility
obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public
announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in
such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the
value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction, (D) a
remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date and (E) the Company’s annualized
dividend yield as of the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.
The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is
not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the
11
obligations of the Company under a Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior
to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder of a Warrant, deliver to the
Holder in exchange for such Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written
instrument substantially similar in form and substance to such Warrant which is exercisable for a
corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity)
equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of such Warrant
(without regard to any limitations on the exercise of such Warrant) prior to such Fundamental
Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares
of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant
to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of
shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic
value of such Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and
which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any
such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so
that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant
Agreement and each Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall
refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and
shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant Agreement and each Warrant
and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named
as the Company herein.
(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 6 shall be made by the Company
and shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For
purposes of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and
outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding.
(f) Notice to Holder.
(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to
any provision of this Section 6, the Company shall promptly mail to the Warrant Agent and the
Holder a written notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. All adjustments made pursuant to Section 6
of the Warrant Agreement shall be made solely by the Company, and the Company shall promptly
provide the Warrant Agent with written notice of any such adjustment. The Warrant Agent shall be
fully protected in relying on such written notice and on any adjustment or statement contained
therein. The Warrant Agent has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Section 6 should
be made (if at all), how it should be made or what it should be. The Warrant Agent makes no
representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon exercise of
Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this
Section 6. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or liability with respect to, and shall not be
deemed to have knowledge of, any adjustment under this Section 6 until it has received written
notice thereof pursuant to this Section 6.
(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall authorize the
granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (B) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common
Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (C) the Company shall authorize the
voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it
shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or
effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of
which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such rights or warrants are to be
determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common
Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate
12
action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided
hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any
of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain
entitled to exercise Warrants during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the
effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth
herein.
Section 7. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. Holders shall not be entitled, by virtue
of holding Warrants, to vote, to consent, to receive dividends, to receive notice as stockholders
with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of the Company’s directors or any
other matter, or to exercise any rights whatsoever as the Company’s stockholders unless, until and
only to the extent such holders become holders of record of shares of Common Stock delivered upon
exercise of the Warrants.
(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Warrant
Agent of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant
Certificate or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity or security satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant
Certificate, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant Certificate or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a
new Warrant Certificate or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in
lieu of such Warrant Certificate or stock certificate.
(c) Modification, Waiver and Meetings.
(i) This Warrant Agreement may be modified or amended by the Company and the Warrant Agent in
writing, without the consent of any Holder, for the purposes of, among other things: (A) adding
covenants for the benefit of the Holders; (B) adding a guarantor of the Company’s performance
obligations or other security for the benefit of the Holders; (C) surrendering any right or power
conferred upon the Company; (D) providing for the settlement upon exercise of Warrants if any
reclassification or change of Common Stock or any consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other
transfer of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries substantially as an
entirety occurs; (E) providing for the assumption of the Company’s obligations in the case of a
merger, consolidation, conveyance, sale, lease or other transfer; (F) adjusting the Exercise Price
or the number of Warrant Shares in the manner described in this Warrant Agreement; (G) curing any
ambiguity or correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in this Warrant
Agreement; provided that such modification or amendment does not adversely affect the interests of
the Holders in any material respect; and (H) adding or modifying any other provisions that the
Company may deem necessary or desirable and which will not adversely affect the interests of the
Holders in any material respect.
(ii) Modifications and amendments to this Warrant Agreement or to the terms and conditions of
Warrants may also be made by the Company and the Warrant Agent in writing, and noncompliance with
any provision of the Warrant Agreement or Warrants may be waived, either: (A) with the written
consent of the Holders of Warrants representing a majority of the aggregate number of Warrants at
the time outstanding; or (B) by the adoption of a resolution at a meeting of Holders called with
proper notice at which a quorum is present by at least a number of Holder of Warrants representing
a majority of the number of Warrants represented at such meeting.
(iii) However, no such modification, amendment or waiver may, without the written consent or
the affirmative vote of each Holder affected: (A) change the Expiration Date; (B) increase the
Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable (except
as explicitly set forth herein); (C) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment or delivery with respect to the exercise and settlement of any Warrant; (D) except as
otherwise expressly permitted by provisions of this Warrant Agreement concerning specified
reclassifications or corporate reorganizations, impair or adversely affect the exercise rights of
Holders; (E) reduce the percentage of Warrants outstanding necessary to modify or amend this
Warrant Agreement or to waive any past default; or (F) reduce the percentage in Warrants
outstanding required for any other waiver under this Warrant Agreement.
13
(iv) The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution will be Persons holding or
representing Warrants representing a majority of the aggregate number of Warrants at the time
outstanding.
(d) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day,
then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
(e) Payments Generally. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars.
(f) Payment of Certain Taxes.
(i) The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes
that may be payable upon the initial issuance of the Warrants hereunder.
(ii) The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes
that may be payable upon the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants hereunder and
the issuance of stock certificates in respect thereof in the respective names of, or in such names
as may be directed by, the exercising Holders; provided, however, that, the Company shall not be
required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any such stock certificate, any Warrant Certificates or other securities in a name
other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate surrendered upon exercise of
the Warrant, and the Company or the Warrant Agent shall not be required to issue or deliver such
certificates or other securities unless and 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 or the Warrant Agent that such tax has been paid.
(g) Certain Tax Filings. The Warrant Agent shall prepare and file with the appropriate
governmental agency all appropriate tax information forms in respect of any payments made by the
Warrant Agent hereunder (including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form 1099-B)
during each calendar year, or any portion thereof, during which the Warrant Agent performs services
hereunder.
(h) Change of Warrant Agent.
(i) The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and
liabilities hereunder after giving 30 days’ notice in writing to the Company, except that such
shorter notice may be given as the Company shall, in writing, accept as sufficient. If the office
of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company
shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the 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 resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent or by any
holder of Warrants (who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant Certificate for inspection by
the Company), then the holder of any Warrants may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent.
(ii) The Warrant Agent may be removed by the Company at any time upon 30 days’ written notice
to the Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to remove the Warrant
Agent until a successor Warrant Agent meeting the qualifications hereof shall have been appointed.
In no event shall the Warrant Agent be required to continue to perform hereunder for more than 30
days following the notice indicated in this Section 7(h).
(iii) Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall
be (A) a Person organized, in good standing and doing business under the laws of the United States
of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and authorized under such laws to
exercise shareholder services powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state
authority and having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 or (B) an
Affiliate of such person described in clause (A). The combined capital and surplus of any such
successor Warrant Agent shall be deemed to be the combined capital and surplus as set forth in the
most recent report of its condition published prior to its appointment; provided that such
14
reports are published at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal or
state supervising or examining authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be
vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its
predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder,
without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the
predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument
transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers and rights of such
predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company
shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing to more fully and
effectually vest in and conform to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights,
immunities, duties and obligations. Upon assumption by a successor Warrant Agent of the duties and
responsibilities hereunder, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer, at the
expense of the Company, to the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it
hereunder. As soon as practicable after such appointment, the Company shall give notice thereof to
the predecessor Warrant Agent, the Holders of Warrants and each transfer agent for the shares of
its Common Stock. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity
of the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent.
(iv) Any Person into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent
shall be a party, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement without any
further act. In case at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency
created by this Warrant Agreement, 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 deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned, 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 Warrant Agent; and in all such cases Warrant
Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Warrant
Agreement.
(v) 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 may
adopt the countersignatures under its prior name and deliver such Warrant Certificates so
countersigned; 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
provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Warrant Agreement.
(i) Authorized Shares.
(i) The Company covenants that, during the period Warrants are outstanding, it will reserve
from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the
issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under the Warrants. The
Company further covenants that its issuance of Warrants shall constitute full authority to its
officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the
necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under a
Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such
Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or
regulation, or of any requirements of the national securities exchange upon which the Common Stock
may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of the purchase rights represented by a Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights
represented by a Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and
charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
(ii) Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not
by any action, including, without limitation, amending its charter or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other
voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms
and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of
the Holder as set forth in this Warrant Agreement against impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company will (A) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares
15
above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par
value, (B) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may
validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of a
Warrant and (C) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions
or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to
enable the Company to perform its obligations under a Warrant.
(iii) Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all
such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public
regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(j) Compensation; Further Assurances. The Company agrees that it will (a) pay the
Warrant Agent reasonable compensation as provided in the Schedule of Fees attached hereto as
Schedule 1 for its services as Warrant Agent hereunder and, except as otherwise expressly provided,
will pay or reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Warrant Agent in accordance with any of the provisions of this
Warrant Agreement (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents
and counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its or any of their
gross negligence or bad faith (each as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction), and (b) perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be
performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and
assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of
the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.
(k) Reliance on Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
legal counsel for the Company), and the oral advice and guidance of such counsel, or a formal
written legal opinion of such counsel, shall be full and complete authorization and protection to
the Warrant Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in the absence of bad faith and in
accordance with such oral advice and guidance or formal written legal opinion.
(l) Proof of Actions Taken. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this
Warrant Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be
proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder,
such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed)
may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such
Officer’s Certificate shall, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, be full
authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted in the absence of bad
faith by it under the provisions of this Warrant Agreement in reliance upon such certificate; but
in its discretion the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof accept other evidence of such fact or
matter or may require such further or additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable. The
Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the
performance of its duties hereunder from any officer of the Company, and to apply to any such
officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it may rely upon such
statement and will not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in
accordance with any such instructions or pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.
(m) Correctness of Statements. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason
of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Warrant Agreement or in the Warrant
Certificates (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, and all such
statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.
(n) Validity of Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in
respect of the validity of this Warrant Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof or in
respect of the validity or execution of any Warrant Certificates (except its countersignature
thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition
contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it by any act
hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation
of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement or any Warrants or as
to whether any shares of Common Stock will, when issued, be validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable.
16
(o) Use of Agents. The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or
powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its
attorneys or agents and the Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any act, default, neglect or
misconduct of any such agent or attorney for any loss or expense to the Company or any other Person
resulting from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, absent gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Warrant Agent (each as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the selection and continued employment of such
attorneys or agents.
(p) Indemnification of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or
responsibility to the Company, any holder of Warrants or any other Person for any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken in reliance on any notice, resolution, waiver, 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 Company agrees to indemnify the
Warrant Agent for and to hold it harmless against any and all losses, expenses, liabilities, suits,
actions, proceedings, claims, settlements, judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, incurred
without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Warrant Agent(each as
determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by the Warrant Agent in connection with the preparation,
delivery, acceptance, administration, execution and amendment of this Warrant Agreement and the
exercise and performance of its duties hereunder, including, the costs and expenses of defending
against any claim of liability arising therefrom, directly or indirectly.
(q) Legal Proceedings. 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 Holders 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 the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether
with or without any such security or indemnity.
(r) Other Transactions in Securities of the Company. The Warrant Agent in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner of 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 Warrant Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the
Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
(s) Actions as Agent. The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent and not in
a ministerial or fiduciary capacity, and its duties shall be determined solely by the express
provisions hereof (and no implied provisions). The duties and obligations of the Warrant Agent
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Warrant Agreement, and the Warrant
Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in the Warrant Agreement. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into the Warrant Agreement against the Warrant Agent. No provision of the Warrant Agreement shall
require the Warrant Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if it believes that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(t) Appointment and Acceptance of Agency. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant
Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the express instructions set forth in this
Warrant Agreement (and no implied instructions), and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency
established by this Warrant Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions
herein set forth.
(u) Liability of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall be liable, whether in
contract, in tort or otherwise, to the Company and any other Person only for its own gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction). Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall
the Warrant Agent be liable for special, punitive, indirect, consequential or incidental loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Warrant
Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage. Any liability of the Warrant
Agent under this Warrant Agreement will be limited to the amount of annual fees paid by the Company
to the Warrant Agent.
17
(v) Successors and Assigns. All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant Agreement
by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of
their respective successors and assigns hereunder.
(w) Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION
5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
(x) Benefit of this Warrant Agreement. Nothing in this Warrant Agreement expressed and
nothing that may be implied from any of the provisions hereof is intended, or shall be construed,
to confer upon, or give to, any Person other than the parties hereto and the Holders any right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Warrant Agreement or of any covenant, condition,
stipulation, promise or agreement hereof, and all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and
agreements contained in this Warrant Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the
parties hereto and their successors and of the Holders.
(y) Registered Holders. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the
Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Warrants are
registered in the Warrant Register as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes whatever
(notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the
Company or the Warrant Agent) and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary or be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in
any Warrants on the part of any other Person and shall not be liable for any registration of
transfer of Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the
nominee of a fiduciary unless made with actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is committing
a breach of trust in requesting such registration of transfer or with such knowledge of such facts
that its participation therein amounts to bad faith.
(z) Inspection of this Warrant Agreement. A copy of this Warrant Agreement shall be
available at all reasonable times for inspection by any Holder or owner of a beneficial interest in
a Global Warrant at the office of the Warrant Agent designated for such purpose. The Warrant Agent
may require any such holder to submit his Warrant Certificate for inspection by it before allowing
such holder to inspect a copy of this Warrant Agreement.
(aa) Jurisdiction. The parties irrevocably (i) submit to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court sitting in New York City or the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, (ii) waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, any defense based
on inconvenient forum, improper venue or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such action
or proceeding, and (iii) waive all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim
arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(bb) Registration under the Securities Act; Obtaining Stock Exchange Listings. The
Company shall use its best efforts to keep a registration statement continuously effective under
the Securities Act providing for the registration of, and the issuance on a continuous or delayed
basis by the Company of, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to be issued upon the exercise of
Warrants pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and/or any similar rule that may be adopted
by the SEC and to keep a prospectus relating to the Warrants and the Warrant Shares current at all
times. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to be
approved for listing, subject to official notice of issuance, on the NYSE or the NYSE Amex prior to
the expiration of the Holding Period and to cause the Warrants and the Warrant Shares to be listed
on the NYSE or the NYSE Amex on the Issuance Date. The Company will from time to time take all
commercially reasonable actions which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares, immediately upon
their issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, will be listed on the primary United States
securities exchange or market on which other shares of Common Stock are then listed. To the extent
that the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or there is no exemption from
state “blue sky” securities laws for the issuance of the Warrant Shares, the Company will take all
commercially reasonable actions which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares are registered in
all states in which the holders of the Warrants reside. In no event will the Company be required
to settle the exercise of the
18
Warrants on a net cash basis. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Warrant Agent
shall not be under any duty or responsibility to ensure compliance with any applicable federal or
state securities laws.
(cc) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise
any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise
prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this
Warrant Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of
this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the
Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate
proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise
enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(dd) Notices.

(ee) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative
action by the Holder to exercise his or her Warrants to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration
herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder
for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such
liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(ff) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Warrant Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be
adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this
Warrant Agreement and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(gg) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant
Agreement and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted
assigns of the Warrant Agent.
(hh) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Warrant Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant
Agreement; provided, that if any such excluded term, provision, covenant or restriction shall
adversely affect the rights, immunities, duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent, the Warrant
Agent shall be entitled to resign immediately.
(ii) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant Agreement are for the convenience of
reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant Agreement.
(jj) Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any delays or failures in performance resulting from acts
beyond its reasonable control including, without limitation, acts of God, terrorist acts, shortage
of supply, breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunctions or computer facilities, or
loss of data due to power failures or mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval
systems, labor difficulties, war or civil unrest.
(kk) USA PATRIOT Act. The Company acknowledges that the Warrant Agent is subject to
the customer identification program (“Customer Identification Program”) requirements under the USA
PATRIOT Act and its implementing regulations, and that the Warrant Agent must obtain, verify and
record information that allows the Warrant Agent to identify the Company. Accordingly, prior to
accepting an appointment hereunder, the Warrant Agent may request information from the Company that
will help the Warrant Agent to identify the Company, including without limitation the Company’s
physical address, tax identification number, organizational documents, certificate of good
standing, license to do business, or any other information that the Company deems necessary. The
Company agrees that the Warrant Agent cannot accept an appointment hereunder unless and until the
Warrant Agent verifies the Company’s identity in accordance with the Customer Identification
Program requirements.
(ll) Incentive Compensation Program. The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNYM”)
has adopted an incentive compensation program designed (i) to facilitate clients gaining access to
and being provided with explanations about the full range of products and services offered by BNYM
and its subsidiaries and (ii) to expand and develop client relationships. This program may lead to
the payment of referral fees and/or bonuses to employees of BNYM or its subsidiaries who may have
been involved in a referral that resulted in the execution of obtaining of products or services by
the Company covered by this Warrant Agreement or which may be ancillary or supplemental to such
products or services. Any such referral fees or bonuses are funded solely out of fees and

The Company’s prospectus (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the
"Prospectus”), dated [____________], 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on [___________], 2010 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), and this Contingent Warrant Issuance Form should be read carefully
