the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), duly completed and signed by the Holder, and (ii)
this Warrant, and (b) paying the Warrant Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2 for the
number of Warrant Shares being purchased. The Warrant Shares being purchased under this Warrant
will be deemed to have been issued to the Holder, as the record owner of such Warrant Shares, as of
the close of business on the date on which payment therefor is made by the Holder pursuant to
Section 2.2. Share certificates representing the Warrant Shares so purchased shall
- 4 -
be delivered to the Holder within three (3) Business Days after this Warrant has been
exercised (or, if applicable, after the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 have been
satisfied); provided, however, that in the case of a purchase of less than all of
the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant
and, within three (3) Business Days after this Warrant has been surrendered, execute and deliver to
the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor representing the number of unexercised Warrant Shares. Each
certificate representing the number of Warrant Shares purchased or purchasable under this Warrant

Purchase Price may be made, at the option of the Holder, by (i) check from the Holder, (ii) wire
transfer, (iii) instructing the Company to withhold and cancel a number of Warrant Shares then
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the excess of the Fair Market Value
over the Warrant Purchase Price for such canceled Warrant Shares is at least equal to the Warrant
Purchase Price for the Warrant Shares being purchased, (iv) surrender to the Company of shares of
Common Stock previously acquired by the Holder with a Fair Market Value equal to the Warrant
Purchase Price for the Warrant Shares then being purchased or (v) any combination of the foregoing.
No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, but the number of
Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Warrant Share.
2.3 Antitrust Notification. If the Holder determines, in its sole judgment upon the
advice of counsel, that an exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof would be subject
to the provisions of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR
Act”), the Company shall, within seven (7) Business Days after receiving notice from the Holder of
the applicability of the HSR Act, file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”)
and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notification and report form and any
supplemental information required to be filed by it pursuant to the HSR Act in connection with the
exercise of this Warrant. Any such notification and report form and supplemental information will
be in full compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act. The Company will furnish to the Holder
promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days) such information and assistance as the
Holder may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any filing or submission
required to be filed by the Holder under the HSR Act. The Company shall respond promptly after
receiving any inquiries or requests for additional information from the FTC or the DOJ (and in no
event more than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such inquiry or request). The Company
shall keep the Holder apprised periodically and at the Holder’s request of the status of any
communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC or the
DOJ. The Company shall bear all filing or other fees required to be paid by the Company and the
Holder (or the “ultimate parent entity” of the Holder, if any) under the HSR Act or any other
Applicable Law in connection with such filings and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’
fees and expenses) incurred by the Company and the Holder in connection with the preparation of
such filings and responses to inquiries or requests. In the event that this Section 2.3 is
applicable to any exercise of this Warrant, the purchase by the Holder of the Warrant Shares
subject to the Exercise Notice, and the payment by the Holder of the Warrant Purchase Price, shall
be subject to the expiration or earlier termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.
- 5 -
Section 3 STATED AMOUNT OF SHARES
3.1 The Total Amount of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant to Purchaser or its
Affiliates shall be reduced by the Reduction Amount after the Company has satisfied the Qualifying
Conditions (the reduced amount of such shares being the “Stated Amount of Shares”). The parties
agree that this reduction may only occur after the end of only one Fiscal Year (commencing with the
Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2006) and that the number of Warrant Shares shall be reduced by the
Reduction Amount as a result of such adjustment only once. Once this Warrant (or any subsequent
warrant issued upon partial exercise of this Warrant) has been exercised such that the total number
of unexercised Warrant Shares which may be purchased by Purchaser or its Affiliates (in the form of
an unexercised Warrant) is less than 333,201 (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4
hereof), the right to reduce set forth in this Section 3.1 shall terminate and be of no
further force or effect.
Section 4 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES AND TO THE WARRANT PURCHASE PRICE.
The number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Purchase Price
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4.
4.1 Share Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations.
(a) If at any time the Company:
(1) pays a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock in shares
of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock,
including any preferred stock of the Company,
(2) subdivides (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise) its
outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(3) combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock,
then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to
the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or
combination shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Warrant the kind and number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would have
owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such record date or effective date had
this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such record date or effective date. Any adjustment
made pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall become effective immediately after the effective
date of such event, but be retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.
(b) Upon any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant as herein provided, the Warrant Purchase Price per Warrant Share shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Purchase Price immediately prior to such adjustment by
a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon
the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of
which shall be the number of Warrant Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
- 6 -
4.2 Issuance of Equity Rights; Distribution of Assets or Securities.
(a) If at any time (if permissible under the Securities Purchase Agreement) the
Company issues (with or without payment of any consideration) to all holders of outstanding
shares of Common Stock any Equity Rights, then the Company shall also distribute such
Equity Rights to the Holder as if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the
record date for such issuance. Any reduction by the Company in the exercise price of any
existing Equity Rights shall be treated as a new issuance of Equity Rights and the
provisions of this Section 4.2(a) shall apply.
(b) If at any time the Company makes a distribution (a “Distribution”) to its
stockholders of any asset, including cash, or any security (the total of the assets or
securities so distributed, the “Distribution Amount”), then, at the Holder’s option:
(1) the Holder shall have the right to receive an amount of assets,
including cash, or such security equal to the number of Warrant Shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the Distribution,
multiplied by the Distribution Amount, and divided by the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. Upon the closing
of the Distribution, the Company shall distribute such portion of the
Distribution Amount to the Holder; or
(2) the Warrant Purchase Price shall be adjusted and shall be equal to
the Warrant Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such distribution, multiplied by a fraction (which shall not be less
than zero), the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of
Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination, less the
then-fair market value of the portion of the assets, or the fair market value
of the portion of the securities, as the case may be, so distributed
applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be
the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment to the
Warrant Purchase Price shall become effective immediately prior to the opening
of business on the day immediately following the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Upon any
adjustment to the Warrant Purchase Price as provided for in this Section
4.2(b)(2), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant shall also be adjusted and shall be equal to the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Warrant
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the
denominator of which is the Warrant Purchase Price as so adjusted.
4.3 Issuance of Equity Securities Under Certain Circumstances.
(a) If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall issue or sell (or, in
accordance with Section 4.3(b), shall be deemed to have issued or sold) any shares
of Common Stock (other than the Excluded Shares) for a consideration per share that is less
than the Warrant Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Common
Stock, then, effective immediately upon such issuance or sale, the Warrant
- 7 -
Purchase Price in effect immediately after such issuance shall forthwith be adjusted
to a price equal to the Warrant Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is an amount equal to the sum of the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the
number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company
upon such issuance would purchase at a price equal to the Warrant Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such issuance per share, and the denominator of which shall be the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of such
Common Stock. Upon each such adjustment of the Warrant Purchase Price hereunder, the
number of Warrant Shares which may be obtained upon exercise of this Warrant shall be
increased to the number of shares determined by multiplying (i) the number of Warrant
Shares which could be obtained upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Purchase Price
in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the
Warrant Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. Adjustments shall be
made successively whenever such an issuance or sale is made.
(b) For the purpose of determining the adjusted Warrant Purchase Price under
Section 4.3(a), the following shall be applicable:
(1) If the Company in any manner issues or grants any Equity Rights or
Convertible Securities and the price per share for which shares of Common
Stock are issuable upon the exercise of such Equity Rights or upon conversion
or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Warrant Purchase
Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or grant of such Equity
Rights, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of such Equity Rights (or upon conversion or exchange of the
total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise
of such Equity Rights) shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company for such lower price per share. For purposes
of this paragraph, the price per share for which shares of Common Stock are
issuable upon exercise of Equity Rights or upon conversion or exchange of
Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of Equity Rights shall be
determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by
the Company as consideration for the issuing or granting of such Equity
Rights, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable
to the Company upon the exercise of all such Equity Rights, plus in the case
of such Equity Rights which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company
upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and the conversion or
exchange thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of such Equity Rights or upon the conversion or
exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such
Equity Rights.
(2) If the Company in any manner issues or grants any Convertible
Securities having an exercise or conversion or exchange price per Share which
is less than the Warrant Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
- 8 -
such issuance or sale, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall
be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company
for such lower price per share. For purposes of this paragraph, the price per
share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion or
exchange of Convertible Securities is determined by dividing (A) the total
amount received by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of
such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange
thereof, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities.
(3) If the purchase price provided for in any Equity Rights, the
additional consideration, any, payable upon the issuance, conversion or
exchange of any Convertible Securities or the rate at which any Convertible
Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock
decreases at any time, then the Warrant Purchase Price in effect at the time
of such decrease shall be readjusted to the Warrant Purchase Price which would
have been in effect at such time had such Equity Rights or Convertible
Securities still outstanding provided for such decreased purchase price,
additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at
the time initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares
shall be correspondingly readjusted, by taking the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Warrant
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the
denominator of which is the Warrant Purchase Price as so adjusted.
(4) If any shares of Common Stock or Equity Rights are issued or sold or
deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, then the consideration received
therefor shall be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company
therefor. If any shares of Common Stock or Equity Rights are issued or sold
for consideration other than cash, then the amount of consideration received
by the Company shall be the fair value of such consideration determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to the Holder’s
rights under Section 4.7(e).
(5) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time does not
include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any
Subsidiary, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be
considered an issue or sale of shares of Common Stock.
(6) If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common
Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in shares of Common Stock or Equity Rights or (B) to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Equity Rights, then such
record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the
shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the
- 9 -
declaration of such dividend or the making of such distribution or the
date of the granting or such right of subscription or purchase, as the case
may be.
(c) If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company shall issue or sell its Common
Stock or Equity Rights pursuant to a stock option or other employee incentive or benefit
plan or arrangement, or any additional shares of Common Stock become issuable or are issued
upon conversion of Equity Rights outstanding on the date hereof as a result of an
adjustment resulting from the issuance of this Warrant or the accrual, payment-in-kind or
other dividend distribution under such Equity Rights, including, without limitation, under
the Company’s 7-1/2% Senior Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Senior Preferred”) and the
Company’s Series B 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Series B Preferred”),
this Warrant shall immediately become exercisable for such additional Warrant Shares as are
necessary to maintain the percentage ownership interest in the Company calculated on a
Fully Diluted Basis held by Holder immediately prior to such adjustment, issuance or
accrual, payment-in-kind or potential issuance of additional shares of Common Stock as a
result of such adjustment, issuance or accrual, payment-in-kind or other dividend
distribution with respect to such Equity Rights, including with respect to the Senior
Preferred and the Series B Preferred. Upon any such adjustment of the number of Warrant
Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Purchase Price per Share
shall be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant Purchase Price immediately prior to
such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares so
purchasable immediately thereafter.
(d) No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3 with respect to
the issuance of Excluded Shares.
4.4 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.
(a) If at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Company reorganizes its capital,
reclassifies its Capital Stock, consolidates, merges or combines with or into another
Person (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is any change
whatsoever in, or distribution with respect to, the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or
the Company sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its
property, assets or business to another Person, other than in a transaction provided for in
Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5 or 4.6, and, pursuant
to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, combination,
sale, transfer or other disposition of assets, (i) equity securities of the successor or
acquiring Person or of the Company (if it is the surviving corporation) or (ii) any cash,
equity securities or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including
warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of shares of
Common Stock of the successor or acquiring Person or the Company (“Other Property”) are to
be received by or distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock who are holders
immediately prior to such transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to
receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock, common stock
of the successor or acquiring Person, and/or Other Property which a holder of the number of
Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable
- 10 -
immediately prior to such event would have owned or received immediately after and as
a result of such event. In such event, the aggregate Warrant Purchase Price otherwise
payable for the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be allocated
among such securities and Other Property in proportion to the respective fair market values
of such securities and Other Property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
of the Company, subject to the Holder’s rights under Section 4.7(e).
(b) In case of any such event, the successor or acquiring Person (if other than the
Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and
every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company
and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as the
Holder may approve in writing (and memorialized by resolutions of the Board of Directors of
the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of any equity securities of such successor
or acquiring Person for which this Warrant thus becomes exercisable, which modifications
shall be as equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section
4.4. For purposes of this Section 4, “common stock of the successor or
acquiring Person” shall include stock or other equity securities, or securities that are
exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into equity securities, of such corporation,
or other securities if such Person is not a corporation, of any class that is not preferred
as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation or Person and
that is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness,
equity securities or other securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for any
such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of
a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such
stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to
successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers
and other dispositions of assets.
4.5 Dissolution, Total Liquidation or Winding-Up. If at any time there is a voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, total liquidation or winding-up of the Company, other than as
contemplated by Section 4.4, then the Company shall cause to be mailed (by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s address as
shown on the Warrant register, at the earliest practicable time (and, in any event, not less than
thirty (30) calendar days before any date set for definitive action) written notice of the date on
which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up shall take place, as the case may be. Such
notice shall also specify the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock shall
be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, money or other property
deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be. On such date, the
Holder shall be entitled to receive upon surrender of this Warrant the cash or other property, less
the Warrant Purchase Price for this Warrant then in effect, that the Holder would have been
entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up. Upon receipt of the cash or other property, any and all rights of the
Holder to exercise this Warrant shall terminate in their entirety. If the cash or other property
distributable in the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up has a fair market value which is less
than the Warrant Purchase Price for this Warrant then in effect, this Warrant shall terminate and
be of no further force or effect upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
4.6 Other Dilutive Events. If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of
this Section 4 are not strictly applicable but as to which the failure to make any
adjustment would not protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the
intent
- 11 -
and principles hereof, then, in each such case, the Holder (or if this Warrant has been
divided up, the Holders of Warrants exercisable for the purchase of more than fifty percent (50%)
of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of all of the then
exercisable Warrants) may demand that the Company engage, and the Company shall engage within
fifteen (15) days of such demand, an investment banking or accounting firm of recognized national
standing which shall give its opinion as to the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the
intent and principles established herein, necessary to preserve the purchase rights represented by
this Warrant (or such Warrants). Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will mail (by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid) a copy thereof to the Holder within
three (3) Business Days and shall make the adjustments described therein. The fees and expenses of
such investment banking or accounting firm shall be borne by the Company.
4.7 Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments Under this Section. The following
provisions shall be applicable to the adjustments provided for pursuant to this Section 4:
(a) When Adjustments To Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section
4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring such an
adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any such adjustment, any specified event shall
be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(b) Record Date. If the Company fixes a record date of the holders of shares
of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to (i) receive a dividend or other
distribution payable in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any other class or series of
capital stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or
shares of any other class or series of capital stock or (ii) subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock or such other shares or securities, then all references in this
Section 4 to the date of the issuance or sale of such shares of Common Stock or
such other shares or securities shall be deemed to be references to that record date.
(c) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company fixes a record date of the
holders of its shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a
dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights to which the provisions of
Section 4.1 would apply, but shall, thereafter and before the distribution to
stockholders, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,
subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason
of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof
shall be rescinded and annulled.
(d) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for
which this Warrant is exercisable or the Warrant Purchase Price shall be adjusted or
recalculated pursuant to this Section 4, the Company shall immediately, but in no
event in more than two (2) business days, prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief
financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring
the adjustment or recalculation and the method by which such adjustment or recalculation
was calculated, specifying the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
exercisable and (if such adjustment was made pursuant to Section 4.4) describing
the number and kind of any other equity securities or Other Property for which this Warrant
is exercisable, and any related change in the Warrant Purchase Price, after giving effect
to such adjustment, recalculation or change. The Company shall mail
- 12 -
(by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid) a signed
copy of the certificate to be delivered to the Holder within three (3) Business Days of the
event which caused the adjustment or recalculation. The Company shall keep at the
Designated Office copies of all such certificates and cause them to be available for
inspection at the Designated Office during normal business hours by the Holder or any
prospective transferee of this Warrant designated by the Holder.
(e) Challenge to Good Faith Determination. Whenever the Board of Directors of
the Company is required to make a determination in good faith of the Fair Market Value of
this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, such determination may be challenged or disputed by the
Holder (or if the Warrant has been divided up, the Holders of Warrants exercisable for the
purchase of more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares then
issuable upon exercise of all of the then exercisable Warrants). If the Holder (or such
Holders, as the case may be) wishes to challenge or dispute any such fair market value
determination, it (or they) shall furnish written notice to the Company of its intention to
challenge the same. If the Company and the Holder (or such Holders, as the case may be)
cannot resolve the dispute between or among themselves, then such dispute shall be
submitted for final determination to an investment banking or accounting firm of recognized
national standing pursuant to the valuation procedures set forth in clause (ii) under the
definition of Fair Market Value. All fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Company and
the Holder (or such Holders, as the case may be) in connection with any such dispute and
determination, including, fees and expenses of any investment banking, valuation or
accounting firms(s) engaged by the Company or the Holder (or Holders, as the case may be)
and of attorneys in connection with such dispute and determination shall be paid by the
Company, provided, however, that the Holder (or Holders, as the case may be) shall bear
all such fees, costs and expenses if, after the Holder (or Holders, as the case may be)
challenges or disputes any fair market value determination by the Board of Directors of the
Company, the difference between (a) the fair market value determined pursuant to the
valuation procedures set forth in clause (ii) under the definition of Fair Market Value and
(b) the fair market value determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, is less than
five percent (5.0%) of the fair market value determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
(f) Independent Application. Except as otherwise provided herein, all
subsections of this Section 4 are intended to operate independently of one another
(but without duplication). If an event occurs that requires the application of more than
one subsection, all applicable subsections shall be given independent effect without
duplication
4.8 Dilutive Issuances. If at any time and from time to time the Company takes any
action which results or, if the Warrant has previously been exercised in whole or in part, would
have resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Purchase Price or the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant (in either event, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, to the
extent that Holder has exercised all or any portion of this Warrant prior to such time, the Company
shall immediately issue to Holder upon effectiveness of such Dilutive Issuance, without the payment
of any further consideration of any kind, such number of additional shares of Common Stock as shall
equal the difference between (a) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant to the extent held unexercised by Holder at such time after giving effect to the
adjustment resulting from such Dilutive Issuance and (b) the
- 13 -
number of shares of Common Stock which would have been issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
at such time after giving effect to the adjustment resulting from such Dilutive Issuance assuming
this Warrant had not been exercised in any part.
4.9 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].
4.10 Fiduciary Duties of Company. The Board of Directors of the Company shall at all
times, whether or not this Warrant has been exercised, owe the Holder the same fiduciary duties
that it would owe to a holder of the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrant.
Section 5 MISCELLANEOUS.
5.1 Restrictive Legend. This Warrant, any Warrant issued upon transfer of this
Warrant and, unless registered under the Securities Act, any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of
this Warrant or any portion thereof shall be imprinted with the following legend, in addition to
any legend required under applicable state securities laws:
THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR
REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND
MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED
EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT AND
THE REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH STATE SECURITIES
LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION.
The legend shall be appropriately modified upon issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares.
Upon request of the holder of a Warrant Share certificate, the Company shall issue to that
holder a new certificate free of the foregoing legend, if, with such request, such holder provides
the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company (provided that
Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx LLP shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Company) to the effect that the
securities evidenced by such certificate may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 (or any
other rule permitting resales of securities without restriction) promulgated under the Securities
Act.
Any transfer of the Warrant Shares shall comply with all applicable state and federal
securities laws. Such compliance may be evidenced by and shall be conclusively established by
delivery of an opinion of counsel (such counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
provided that Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx LLP shall be deemed acceptable to the Company) that the transfer
complies with applicable state and federal securities laws.
5.2 Holder Entitled to Benefits Under Other Agreements. The Holder (or, if the
Warrant has been divided up, the Holders) is entitled to certain rights, benefits and privileges
with respect to this Warrant and the Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and certain other Investment Documents.
- 14 -
5.3 Other Covenants. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.2, the
Company covenants and agrees that, as long as this Warrant remains outstanding or any Warrant
Shares are issuable with respect to this Warrant, the Company will perform all of the following
covenants for the express benefit of the Holder: (a) the Warrant Shares shall, upon issuance, be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock; (b) the
Holder shall, upon the exercise thereof in accordance with the terms hereof, receive good and
marketable title to the Warrant Shares, free and clear of all voting and other trust arrangements
to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, preemptive rights of any stockholder,
liens, encumbrances, equities and claims whatsoever, including all Taxes, Liens and other charges
with respect to the issuance thereof; (c) at all times prior to the Expiration Date, the Company
shall have reserved for issuance a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock, or other securities or property for which this Warrant may then be exercisable, to permit
this Warrant (or if this Warrant has been divided, all outstanding Warrants) to be exercised in
full; (d) the Company shall deliver to each Holder the information and reports described in Section
9 of the Securities Purchase Agreement as contemplated therein; (e) the Company shall provide each
Holder written notice of all corporate actions in the same manner and to the same extent as the
stockholders of the Company.
5.4 Issue Tax. The issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant shall
be made without charge to the Holder for any stamp, documentary or similar tax in respect thereof.
5.5 Closing Of Books. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against
the transfer of this Warrant or of any Warrant Shares in any manner which interferes with the
timely exercise hereof.
5.6 No Voting Rights; Limitation Of Liability. Except as expressly set forth in this
Warrant, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder (a) the
right to vote or consent as a stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election
of directors of the Company or any other matter, (b) the right to receive dividends or
distributions, except as set forth in Section 4 or (c) any other rights as a stockholder of
the Company, except as set forth in Section 4 and in the Investor Rights Agreement. No
provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase the Warrant
Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise
to any liability of the Holder for the Warrant Purchase Price or as a stockholder of the Company,
whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.
5.7 Modification And Waiver. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which
enforcement is sought.
5.8 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications which are
required or may be given under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if transmitted by telecopier with receipt acknowledged, or upon delivery, if delivered
personally or by recognized commercial courier with receipt acknowledged, or upon the expiration of
seventy-two (72) hours after mailing, if mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

5.9 Successors and Assigns. The Company may not assign any of its rights, or delegate
any of its obligations, under this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder (which
consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason at all). The Holder may sell, assign or
transfer this Warrant, or delegate its obligations under this Warrant, in each case in whole or in
part, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of the Company. Compliance of such
transfer with all applicable state and federal securities laws may be evidenced by and shall be
conclusively established by delivery of an opinion of counsel (such counsel to be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, provided that Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx LLP shall be deemed acceptable to the
Company) that the transfer complies with applicable state and federal securities laws. The Holder
may use the Warrant Assignment Form attached hereto to assign this Warrant. Each assignment of
this Warrant, in whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained
for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at
- 16 -
the Designated Office, together with appropriate instruments of assignment, duly completed and
executed. Upon such surrender, the Company shall, at its own expense, within three (3) Business
Days of surrender, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or
assignees specified in such assignment and in the denominations specified therein and this Warrant
shall promptly be canceled. If any portion of this Warrant is not being assigned, the Company
shall, at its own expense, within three (3) Business Days issue to the Holder a new Warrant
evidencing the portion not so assigned. If the Holder assigns this Warrant to one or more Persons,
any decisions that the Holder is entitled to make at any time hereunder shall be made by the
Holders holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise of all of the then exercisable Warrants. Section 3.1 hereof shall not be
binding on any purchaser, assignee or transferee of this Warrant who is not an Affiliate of
Purchaser.
In addition, the Holder may, without notice to or the consent of the Company, grant or sell to
one or more Participants Participations in all or any part of its right, title and interest in and
to this Warrant.
This Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Holder and
their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall include, with respect to the Company,
any Person succeeding the Company by merger, consolidation, combination or acquisition of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, and in such case, except as expressly provided herein
and in the Securities Purchase Agreement, all of the obligations of the Company hereunder shall
survive such merger, consolidation, combination or acquisition.
5.10 Captions; Construction and Interpretation. The rules of construction and
interpretation specified in Sections 1.2 through 1.6 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall
likewise govern the construction and interpretation of this Warrant.
5.11 Lost Warrant or Certificates. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or of a share
certificate evidencing Warrant Shares and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon
receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant or share certificate, the Company shall
make and deliver to the Holder, within three (3) Business Days of receipt by the Company of such
documentation, a new Warrant or share certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant or share certificate.
5.12 No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including amending its
charter documents or regulations or through any reorganization, reclassification, 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,
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 against
impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the
par value (if any) of any Warrant Shares receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the
amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii)
take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this
Warrant, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities and claims, and (iii) use its best
efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
- 17 -
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the
Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
5.13 No Implied Waiver. Nothing in this Warrant, including any reference herein to an
act or transaction, shall be construed as, or imply, a waiver of any provision of the Securities
Purchase Agreement or any other Investment Document, including any prohibition therein against such
an act or transaction.
5.14 GOVERNING LAW. IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY
AND PERFORMANCE, THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT
STATE (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF) AND ANY
APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
5.15 Remedies. If the Company fails to perform, comply with or observe any covenant
or agreement to be performed, complied with or observed by it under this Warrant, the Holder may
proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific
performance of any term contained in this Warrant or for an injunction against the breach of any
such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Warrant or to enforce any other
legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions. The Company hereby agrees
that the Holder shall not be required or otherwise obligated to, and hereby waives any right to
demand that the Holder, post any performance or other bond in connection with the enforcement of
its rights and remedies hereunder. The Company agrees to pay all fees, costs, and expenses,
including fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts retained by the Holder, and
all fees, costs and expenses of appeals, incurred or expended by the Holder in connection with the
enforcement of this Warrant or the collection of any sums due hereunder, whether or not suit is
commenced. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Warrant shall be mutually
exclusive, and each right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right,
power or remedy whether conferred by this Warrant or now or hereafter available at law, in equity,
by statute or otherwise.
5.16 Entire Agreement. This Warrant constitutes the full and entire agreement and
understanding between the Holder and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior oral and written, and all contemporaneous oral, agreements and understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof.
5.17 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT
PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION
RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE
LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF
ARBITRATION, AND UNDERSTANDING THEY ARE WAIVING A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS
WARRANT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT
COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT
OR OTHER
- 18 -
PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO (a) THIS WARRANT, INCLUDING
ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE AMENDMENT HEREOF, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY OR RELATED TO
THIS WARRANT, OR (b) ANY CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION OF THE PARTIES OR THEIR AFFILIATES (OR ANY OF
THEM) WITH RESPECT TO THIS WARRANT, INCLUDING ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE AMENDMENT HEREOF, WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR
OTHER PROCEEDING; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER
PROCEEDING SHALL BE DECIDED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN
ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF
THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.
5.18 JUDICIAL REFEREE. IN THE EVENT THE WAIVER PROVIDED IN SECTION 5.17 IS DEEMED
INEFFECTIVE, TO GIVE EFFECT TO THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE OR
RETIRED JUDGE APPLY THE APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES AGREE TO REFER, FOR A COMPLETE AND FINAL
ADJUDICATION, ANY AND ALL ISSUES OF FACT OR LAW INVOLVED IN ANY LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL DISCOVERY AND LAW AND MOTION MATTERS, PRETRIAL MOTIONS, TRIAL
MATTERS AND POST-TRIAL MOTIONS (E.G. MOTIONS FOR RECONSIDERATION, NEW TRIAL AND TO TAX COSTS,
ATTORNEY FEES AND PREJUDGMENT INTEREST)) UP TO AND INCLUDING FINAL JUDGMENT, BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY
DISPUTE (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, UNDER ANY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN AND AMONG ANY
OF THE PARTIES HERETO, TO A JUDICIAL REFEREE WHO SHALL BE APPOINTED UNDER A GENERAL REFERENCE
PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638. THE REFEREE’S DECISION WOULD STAND AS
THE DECISION OF THE COURT, WITH JUDGMENT TO BE ENTERED ON HIS/HER STATEMENT OF DECISION IN THE SAME
MANNER AS IF THE ACTION HAD BEEN TRIED BY THE COURT. THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL SELECT A SINGLE
NEUTRAL REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED STATE OR FEDERAL JUDGE WITH AT LEAST FIVE YEARS OF JUDICIAL
EXPERIENCE IN CIVIL MATTERS. IN THE EVENT THAT THE PARTIES HERETO CANNOT AGREE UPON A REFEREE, THE
REFEREE SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE COURT. THE PURCHASER AND HOLDERS, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE
COMPANY PARTIES, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHALL EQUALLY BEAR THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE REFEREE (50% BY
THE PURCHASER AND HOLDERS AND 50% BY THE COMPANY PARTIES) UNLESS THE REFEREE OTHERWISE PROVIDES IN
THE STATEMENT OF DECISION.
