================================================================================
WARRANT AGREEMENT
-----------------
WARRANT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of May 10, 2000, between
Jostens Corp., a Minnesota corporation (together with any successors and
assigns, the "Company"), and The Bank of New York, a New York banking
corporation, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent").
WHEREAS, the Company proposes, among other things, to issue and sell
pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2000, among the Company
and DB Capital Investors, L.P. ("DB Capital"), (the "Purchase Agreement"), 14%
Senior Redeemable Payment-In-Kind Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), along
with Class E Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Warrants"), for the purchase
of 531,325 shares of its Series E Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
"Class E Common Stock," and the shares of Class E Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, together with any shares of the Class A Common Stock,
par value $0.33-1/3 per share of the Company ("Class A Common Stock") issued
upon conversion of such shares of Class E Common Stock, being referred to herein
as the "Warrant Shares");
WHEREAS, the Company wishes the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company and the Warrant Agent is willing to act in connection with the issuance,
division, transfer, exchange and exercise of Warrants as provided herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements
herein, the Company and the Warrant Agent hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints
----------------------------
the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the
instructions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent
hereby accepts such appointment.
SECTION 2. Warrant Certificates. The Warrants will be certificated
--------------------
and issued in registered form. Any certificates (the "Warrant Certificates")
evidencing the Warrants to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
---------
SECTION 3. Execution of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates
---------------------------------
shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board,
President, Chief Executive Officer, Vice President, Treasurer or Chief Financial
Officer and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary under its corporate seal.
Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a
facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman of the Board,
President, Chief Executive Officer, Vice President, Treasurer, Chief Financial
Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the Company may
adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person who shall have been Chairman
of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, Vice President, Treasurer,
Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary, notwithstanding the
fact that at the time the Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned and
delivered or disposed of he shall have ceased to hold such office.
The Warrant Agent shall, upon written instructions of the Chairman of
the Board, the President, Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President, the
Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company, initially countersign and deliver Warrants
entitling the holders thereof to purchase not more than the number of Warrant
Shares referred to above in the first recital hereof and shall thereafter
countersign and deliver Warrants as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant
Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent, or
disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be
countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased
to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on
behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of
such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such
Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant
Agreement any such person was not such officer.
Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by
the Warrant Agent.
SECTION 4. Registration and Countersignature. The Warrants shall be
---------------------------------
numbered and shall be registered on the books of the Company maintained at the
principal office of the Warrant Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New
York (the "Warrant Register") as they are issued.
Warrant Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Warrant
Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The
Warrant Agent shall, upon written instructions of the Chairman of the Board, the
President, Chief Executive Officer, a Vice President, the Treasurer, Chief
Financial Officer, Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, initially
countersign and deliver Warrants entitling the holders thereof to purchase not
more than the number of Warrant Shares referred to above in the first recital
hereof and shall thereafter countersign and deliver Warrants as otherwise
provided in this Agreement.
The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered
holders (the "Holders") of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owners
thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made
by anyone) for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants. The Warrant Agent
---------------------------------
shall from time to time, subject to the limitations of Section 6, register the
transfer of any outstanding Warrants upon the records to be maintained by it for
that purpose, upon surrender thereof duly endorsed or accompanied (if so
required by it) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered
Holder or Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof
or by a duly authorized attorney. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each
Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for another certificate or certificates
entitling the Holder thereof to purchase a like aggregate number of Warrant
Shares as the certificate or certificates surrendered then entitle each Holder
to
purchase. Any Holder desiring to exchange a Warrant Certificate or
Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Warrant Agent,
and shall surrender, duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required by the Warrant
Agent) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Certificate or Certificates to be
so exchanged.
Upon registration of transfer, the Company shall execute and the
Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, by certified mail or such other
method of delivery which shall provide proof of delivery, a new Warrant
Certificate or Certificates to the persons entitled thereto. The Warrant
Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the Holder thereof, when
surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose,
which initially will be the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent in New
York, New York for another Warrant Certificate, or other Warrant Certificates of
different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the
right to purchase a like number of Warrant Shares.
No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that is
imposed in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer.
SECTION 6. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. (a) Transfer
--------------------------------------- --------
and Exchange. The Warrants shall be transferable upon the surrender of a
------------
Warrant Certificate for registration of transfer and in compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement. When a Warrant is presented to the Warrant Agent
with a request to register a transfer, the Warrant Agent shall register the
transfer as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the Uniform
Commercial Code are met. When Warrants are presented to the Warrant Agent with
a request to exchange them for an equal number of Warrants of other
denominations, the Warrant Agent shall make the exchange as requested if the
requirements of Sections 8-401(a)(1) and (2) of the Uniform Commercial Code of
the State of New York are met. To permit registration of transfers and
exchanges, the Company shall execute Warrant Certificates at the Warrant Agent's
request. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes,
assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer,
exchange or exercise pursuant to this Section 6.
Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6, each Holder
may at any time and from time to time freely transfer its Warrant and the
Warrant Shares in whole or in part. No Warrant has been, and the Warrant Shares
at the time of their issuance may not be, registered under the Securities Act,
and, except as provided in any separate agreement providing for registration
rights, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require the Company to so
register any Warrant or Warrant Shares. The Warrants and the Warrant Shares are
issued or issuable subject to the provisions and conditions contained herein,
and every Holder of a Warrant or Warrant Shares by accepting such Warrant or
Warrant Shares agrees with the Company to such provisions and conditions, and
represents to the Company that such Warrant has been acquired and the Warrant
Shares will be acquired for the account of such Warrantholder for investment and
not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.
Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 6, each Warrant
(including each Warrant issued upon the transfer of any Warrant) and/or all
Warrant Shares, as appropriate, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with
legends in substantially the following form:
(i) "THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY
STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR
PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO,
SUCH REGISTRATION.
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE
COMPANY SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMPANY MAY
REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING
RESTRICTIONS" and
(ii) "THIS SECURITY IS ALSO SUBJECT TO A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT,
DATED AS OF MAY 10, 2000, AMONG THE COMPANY, INVESTCORP INVESTMENT EQUITY
LIMITED, THE OTHER HOLDERS OF THE CLASS D COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY AND
DB CAPITAL INVESTORS L.P. A COPY OF SUCH SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT MAY BE
OBTAINED WITHOUT CHARGE AND UPON REQUEST ADDRESSED TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
COMPANY AT THE REGISTERED OFFICE OF THE COMPANY" and
(iii) "THE WARRANTS REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE REQUIRED
TO BE EXERCISED UPON THE DEMAND OF THE COMPANY, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF
CERTAIN EVENTS SPECIFIED IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO
EACH HOLDER WHO SO REQUESTS A COPY OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY" and
(iv) "THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO MANDATORY REDEMPTION BY THE COMPANY.
SUCH REDEMPTION CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT THE CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING
SUCH SECURITIES BEING SURRENDERED AND WHETHER OR NOT THE COMPANY GIVES
NOTICE OF SUCH REDEMPTION. THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO EACH
SECURITYHOLDER WHO SO REQUESTS A FULL STATEMENT OF THE DESIGNATIONS,
PREFERENCES, LIMITATIONS AND RELATIVE RIGHTS OF EACH CLASS OF STOCK OR
SERIES OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION AUTHORIZED TO BE ISSUED, SO FAR AS THEY
HAVE BEEN DETERMINED, AND THE AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO
DETERMINE THE RELATIVE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES OF SUBSEQUENT CLASSES OR
SERIES".
Each Warrant issued upon the transfer of any Warrant shall bear the
restrictive legends set forth above, unless, with respect to the legend in
paragraph (i) above, to the extent that the Holder thereof has delivered to the
Company an opinion of counsel (which may be an opinion of an internal counsel of
the Holder) reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such
legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.
(b) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants.
---------------------------------------------------------------
(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company
shall execute, at the Warrant Agent's request, and the Warrant Agent shall
countersign Warrants.
(ii) All Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange
of Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same
benefits under this Agreement as the Warrants surrendered upon the registration
of transfer or exchange.
SECTION 7. Separation of Warrants; Terms of Warrants; Exercise of
------------------------------------------------------
Warrants. The Preferred Stock and Warrants will be separately transferable as
--------
of the date hereof.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Warrant holder shall have
the right, which may be exercised commencing on or after the date of issuance
and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 1, 2011 (the "Expiration Date"),
to receive from the Company upon the exercise of each Warrant the number of
fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the holder may at the time be
entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise
Price (as defined) for such Warrant Shares. Each Warrant not exercised prior to
the Expiration Date shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights
in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time. No
adjustments as to dividends will be made upon exercise of the Warrants.
The price per share at which Warrant Shares shall be purchasable upon
exercise of Warrants (the "Exercise Price") regardless of the Exercise Rate (as
defined) then in effect shall be $0.01. A Warrant may be exercised upon
surrender at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose,
which initially will be the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent in New
York, New York, of the certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrants to be
exercised with the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly
filled in and signed, which signature shall be guaranteed by a participant in a
recognized Signature Guarantee Medallion Program, and upon payment to the
Warrant Agent for the account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the
number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised.
The "Exercise Date" for a Warrant shall be the date when all of the items
-------------
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence are received by the Warrant
Agent at or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day and the
exercise of the Warrants will be effective as of such Exercise Date. If any
items referred to in such sentence are received after 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on a Business Day, the exercise of the Warrants to which such item relates
will be effective on the next succeeding Business Day. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the case of an exercise of Warrants on the Expiration Date, if all
of the items referred to in such sentence are received by the Warrant Agent at
or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the exercise
of the Warrants to which such items relate will be effective on the Expiration
Date. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made
(i) in cash or by certified or official bank check to the order of the Company
in New York Clearing House Funds, (ii) by wire transfer to an account specified
by the Company on request of the Holder, such request to be made not less than
two Business Days prior to the proposed exercise of the Warrants or (iii)
without the payment of cash, by reducing the number of shares of Class E Common
Stock obtainable upon the exercise of a Warrant and payment of the Exercise
Price in cash so as to yield a number of shares of Class E Common Stock upon the
exercise of such Warrant equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of
Class E Common Stock issuable as of the Exercise Date upon the exercise of such
Warrant (if payment of the Exercise Price were being made in cash) and (B) a
fraction (the "Cashless Exercise Ratio"), the numerator of which is the excess
of the Current Market Value (as defined below) per share of the Class A Common
Stock of the Company on the Exercise Date over the Exercise Price per share as
of the Exercise Date of such Warrant and the denominator of which is the Current
Market Value per share of the Class A Common Stock of the Company on such
Exercise Date. An exercise of a Warrant in accordance with the immediately
preceding clause (ii) is herein called a "Cashless Exercise." Upon surrender of
a Warrant Certificate representing more than one Warrant in connection with the
Holder's option to elect a Cashless Exercise, the number of shares of Class E
Common Stock deliverable upon a Cashless Exercise shall be equal to the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants that the Holder
specifies are to be exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise multiplied by the
Cashless Exercise Ratio. All provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable
with respect to a surrender of a Warrant Certificate pursuant to a Cashless
Exercise for less than the full number of Warrants represented thereby.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, upon such surrender of
Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price or the election of a Cashless
Exercise, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable
dispatch to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as
the Warrantholder may designate a certificate or certificates for the number of
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants together with cash as
provided in Section 13.
The Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the holders
thereof, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that a
certificate evidencing Warrants is exercised in respect of fewer than all of the
Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise at any time prior to the date of
expiration of the Warrants, a new certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant
or Warrants will be issued, and the Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably
authorized to countersign and to deliver the required new Warrant Certificate or
Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Section and of Section 3 hereof,
and the Company, whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will promptly supply
the Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the
Company for such purpose.
All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall
be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall
then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in a manner consistent with the Warrant
Agent's customary procedure for such disposal and in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Company. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the
Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the
Company all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of the Warrant
Shares through the exercise of such Warrants.
The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices
given or received hereunder available for inspection by the holders during
normal business hours at its office. The Company shall supply the Warrant Agent
from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Agreement as the Warrant
Agent may request.
SECTION 8. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all documentary
----------------
stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the
exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
-------- -------
to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares
in a name other than that of the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate
surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the
person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.
SECTION 9. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. In case any of
-----------------------------------------
the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company may at its discretion issue and the Warrant Agent may countersign, in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant
Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost,
stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an
equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such
Warrant Certificate and indemnity also satisfactory to them.
SECTION 10. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company will at all
-----------------------------
times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the
aggregate of its authorized but unissued Class E Common Stock or its authorized
and issued Class E Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of
enabling it to satisfy an obligation to issue shares of Class E Common Stock
upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Class E Common Stock
which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants. In
addition, the Company will at all times reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Class A
Common Stock or its authorized and issued Class A Common Stock held in its
treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy an obligation to issue
shares of Class A Common Stock upon the conversion of shares of Class E Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of
Class A Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the conversion of all
such shares of Class E Common Stock.
The Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Class A
Common Stock and the Class E Common Stock (the "Transfer Agent") and every
subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable
upon the exercise of any of the rights of purchase aforesaid will be irrevocably
authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares
as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this
Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent and with every subsequent transfer
agent
for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the
rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such Transfer Agent
the stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise
thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company will supply
such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for such purposes and will
provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in
Section 13. The Company will furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices
of adjustments and certificates related thereto transmitted to each holder
pursuant to Section 14 hereof.
The Company covenants that all shares of Class E Common Stock which
may be issued upon exercise of Warrants made in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement will, upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor (or the
election of a Cashless Exercise, as the case may be) and issue, be validly
authorized and issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and
free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the
issuance thereof. The Company further covenants that all shares of Class A
Common Stock which may be issued upon the conversion in accordance with the
terms thereof of any shares of Class E Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of Warrants made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be validly
authorized and issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free of preemptive rights and
free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the
issuance thereof. The Company will take no action to increase the par value of
the Class E Common Stock to an amount in excess of the Exercise Price, and the
Company will not enter into any agreements inconsistent with the rights of
Holders hereunder. The Company will use its reasonable best 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 this Agreement. The Company shall not take any action
reasonably within its control, including the hiring of a broker to solicit
exercises, which would render unavailable an exemption from registration under
the Securities Act which might otherwise be available with respect to the
issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of any Warrants.
SECTION 11. Obtaining Stock Exchange Listings. The Company will from
---------------------------------
time to time take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares
which are shares of Class A Common Stock, immediately upon their issuance upon
the conversion of the shares of Class E Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of Warrants, will be listed on the principal securities exchanges and markets
within the United States of America (including the NASDAQ National Market
System), if any, on which other shares of Class A Common Stock are then listed.
In the event that, at any time during the period in which the Warrants are
exercisable, the Class A Common Stock is not listed on any principal securities
or exchanges or markets within the United States of America, the Company will
use its reasonable best efforts to permit the Warrant Shares to be designated
PORTAL securities in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. relating to trading in the
Private Offering, Resales and Trading through Automated Linkages market.
SECTION 12. Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares Issuable. The
-----------------------------------------------
number of shares of Class E Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each
Warrant (the "Exercise
Rate") is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the
events enumerated in this Section 12. The Exercise Rate shall initially be one
(1.00).
(a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. If, after the Issue Date,
--------------------------------------
the Company:
(i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on shares of any class or
series of its Common Stock payable in shares of its Common Stock of the Company,
except to the extent any such dividend or distribution results in the grant,
issuance, sale or making of Distribution Rights or a Distribution pursuant to
Section 12(c);
(ii) subdivides or splits any of its outstanding shares of any class
or series of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;
(iii) combines any of its outstanding shares of any class or series
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or
(iv) issues by reclassification of any class or series of its Common
Stock any shares of any of its Capital Stock;
then the Exercise Rate in effect immediately prior to such action for each
Warrant then outstanding shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Rate in
effect immediately prior to such action by a fraction (A) the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of all classes or series of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such action and (B) the denominator of which shall
be the number of shares of all classes or series of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such action or the record date applicable to such action,
if any (regardless of whether the Warrants then outstanding are then exercisable
and without giving effect to the Cashless Exercise option). The adjustment
shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a
dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of
a subdivision, combination or reclassification. In the event that such dividend
or distribution is not so paid or made or such subdivision, combination or
reclassification is not effected, the Exercise Rate shall again be adjusted to
be the Exercise Rate which would then be in effect if such record date or
effective date had not been so fixed.
If after an adjustment a holder of a Warrant upon exercise of such Warrant
may receive shares of two or more classes or series of Capital Stock of the
Company, the Exercise Rate shall thereafter be subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of an action taken with respect to any such class or series of
Capital Stock as is contemplated by this Section 12 with respect to the Common
Stock, on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this Section
12.
(b) Adjustment for Certain Sales of Common Stock Below Current Market
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Value. If, after the Issue Date, the Company (i) grants or sells to any
-----
Affiliate of the Company (other than a Subsidiary) or (ii) grants or sells, or
offers to grant or sell to all holders of any class or series of Common Stock,
shares of any class or series of Common Stock or any securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for any class or series of Common Stock
(other than (1) pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants, (2) pursuant to any
security convertible into, or
exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the
Issue Date, (3) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any convertible,
exchangeable or exercisable security as to which upon the issuance thereof an
adjustment pursuant to this Section 12 has been made or (4) upon the conversion,
exchange or exercise of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities of
the Company outstanding on the Issue Date (to the extent in accordance with the
terms of such securities as in effect on such date), including any warrants
issued to purchasers of the Company's 12 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010
at a price per share below the then Current Market Value, the Exercise Rate for
each Warrant then outstanding shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:
E/1/ = E x (O+N)
-----------
(O + (N x P/M))
where:
E/1/ = the adjusted Exercise Rate for each Warrant then outstanding;
E = the then current Exercise Rate for each Warrant then outstanding;
O = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of all classes
outstanding immediately prior to the sale of such Common Stock or
issuance of securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for
Common Stock;
N = the number of shares of Common Stock of any class or series so sold
or the maximum stated number of shares of Common Stock of any class
or series issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any
such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities, as the
case may be;
P = the proceeds per share of Common Stock of the relevant class or
series received by the Company, which (i) in the case of shares of
Common Stock of any class or series is the amount received by the
Company in consideration for the sale and issuance of such shares;
and (ii) in the case of securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for shares of Common Stock of any class or series is
the amount received by the Company in consideration for the sale
and issuance of such convertible or exchangeable or exercisable
securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, other than the surrender of such convertible or
exchangeable securities, payable to the Company upon exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof; and
M = the Current Market Value as of the Time of Determination or at the
time of sale, as the case may be, of a share of Common Stock of the
relevant class or series.
The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for
the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or
options to which this paragraph (b) applies or upon consummation of the sale of
Common Stock, as the case may be. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are
not delivered after the expiration of such rights, warrants or options, the
Exercise Rate for each Warrant then outstanding shall be readjusted to
the Exercise Rate which would otherwise be in effect had the adjustment made
upon the issuance of such rights, warrants or options been made on the basis of
delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the
event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Exercise Rate for each
Warrant then outstanding shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Rate which
would then be in effect if such date fixed for determination of shareholders
entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options had not been so fixed.
No adjustment shall be made under this paragraph (b) if the application of
the formula stated above in this paragraph (b) would result in a value of E/1/
that is lower than the value of E.
No adjustment shall be made under this paragraph (b) for any adjustment
which is the subject of paragraphs (a) and (e) of this Section 12.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the Exercise Rate shall be
required upon the grant, conversion, exchange or exercise of options to or by
officers, directors or employees of the Company to acquire Common Stock that (i)
are granted or exercised pursuant to any option or option plan as in effect on
the Issue Date or described in the offering memorandum concerning the Units or
(ii) have an exercise price, at the time of issuance thereof, at least equal to
the then Current Market Value of the Common Stock underlying such options.
(c) Adjustment Upon Certain Distributions.
-------------------------------------
(i) If at any time after the Issue Date, the Company grants, issues or
sells any Capital Stock or other securities (other than Common Stock), any
Convertible Security, or options, warrants or rights to purchase Capital Stock
or other securities (other than Common Stock) pro rata to the record holders of
--- ----
any class or series of Common Stock (the "Distribution Rights") or, without
duplication, makes any distribution (other than a distribution pursuant to a
plan of liquidation) (a "Distribution") on shares of any class or series of
Common Stock (whether in cash, property, evidences of indebtedness, or
otherwise), then the Exercise Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the
formula:
E/1/ = E x (M/(M-F))
where:
E/1/ = the adjusted Exercise Rate;
E = the current Exercise Rate for each Warrant;
M = the Current Market Value per share of Class A Common Stock at the
Time of Determination;
F = the fair market value at the Time of Determination of such portion
of the options, Convertible Securities, warrants, cash, property or
other securities or assets distributable pursuant to such
Distribution Rights or Distribution per share of outstanding of
Common Stock.
The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Time of
Determination with respect to the shareholders entitled to receive the options,
Convertible Securities, warrants, cash, property, evidences of indebtedness or
other securities or assets to which this paragraph (c)(i) applies. No
adjustment shall be made under this paragraph (b) if the application of the
formula stated above in this paragraph (c)(i) would result in a value of E1 that
is lower than the value of E. This paragraph (c)(i) does not apply to any
securities which result in an adjustment pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of
this Section 12.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (c)(i) of this Section 12,
an event which would otherwise give rise to an adjustment pursuant to Section
12(c)(i) shall not give rise to such adjustment if the Company grants, issues or
sells Distribution Rights to the Holders of Warrants or includes the holders of
the Warrants in such Distribution, in each case on a pro rata basis, assuming
--- ----
for the purpose of this Section 12(c)(ii) that (x) all outstanding shares of
Common Stock are of one class and (y) the Warrants had been exercised
(disregarding for this purpose all provisions with respect to Cashless
Exercise).
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section
12(c), if, at any time, the Company makes any distribution pursuant to any plan
of liquidation (a "Liquidating Distribution") on shares of Class A Common Stock
or Class E Common Stock (whether in cash, property, evidences of indebtedness or
otherwise), then, subject to applicable law, the Company shall make to each
Holder of Warrants the aggregate Liquidating Distribution which such Holder
would have acquired if such Holder had held the maximum number of shares of
Class E Common Stock acquirable upon the complete exercise of each Holder's
Warrants (regardless of whether the Warrants are then exercisable and without
giving effect to the Cashless Exercise option) immediately before the Time of
Determination of shareholders entitled to receive Liquidating Distributions;
provided, any Holder of Warrants may elect to receive Liquidating Distributions
--------
on the basis that such Holder held the maximum number of shares of Class A
Common Stock into which the shares of Class E Common Stock described in this
sentence could be converted (without reference to any required holding period)
immediately before the Time of Determination of shareholders entitled to receive
Liquidating Distributions.
(d) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Rate is adjusted, the
--------------------
Company shall promptly mail to holders of Warrants then outstanding at the
addresses appearing on the Warrant Register a notice of the adjustment. The
Company shall file with the Warrant Agent and any other Registrar such notice
and a certificate from the Company's independent public accountants briefly
stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The
certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct, absent
manifest error. Neither the Warrant Agent nor any such Registrar shall be under
any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to
exhibit the same during normal business hours to any holder desiring inspection
thereof.
(e) Reorganization of Company; Fundamental Transaction.
--------------------------------------------------
(i) If the Company, in a single transaction or through a series of
related transactions, consolidates with or merges with or into any other person
or sells, assigns, transfers, leases, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or
substantially all of its properties and assets to another person or group of
affiliated persons or is a party to a merger or binding share exchange
which reclassifies or changes its outstanding Common Stock (a "Fundamental
-----------
Transaction"), as a condition to consummating any such transaction the person
-----------
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger if other than the
Company or the person to whom such transfer has been made (the "Surviving
---------
Person") shall enter into a supplemental warrant agreement. The supplemental
------
warrant agreement shall provide (a) that the holder of a Warrant then
outstanding may exercise the Warrant for the kind and amount of securities, cash
or other assets which such holder would have received immediately after the
Fundamental Transaction if such holder had exercised the Warrant and, if such
Warrant is then exercisable into shares of a class or series of Common Stock
(such as Class E Common Stock as constituted on the Issue Date) that is
convertible into shares of another class or series of Common Stock (such as
Class A Common Stock as constituted on the Issue Date) if such holder had
converted such Warrant Shares into such other class or series of Common Stock,
in each case immediately before the effective date of the transaction (whether
or not the Warrants were then exercisable and without giving effect to the
Cashless Exercise option), it being understood that the Warrants will remain
exercisable only in accordance with their terms so that conditions to exercise
will remain applicable, such as payment of Exercise Price, assuming (to the
extent applicable) that such holder (i) was not a constituent person or an
affiliate of a constituent person to such transaction, (ii) made no election
with respect thereto, and (iii) was treated alike with the plurality of non-
electing holders, and (b) that the Surviving Person shall succeed to and be
substituted to every right and obligation of the Company in respect of this
Agreement and the Warrants. The supplemental warrant agreement shall provide
for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 12. The Surviving Person shall mail to
holders of Warrants at the addresses appearing on the Warrant Register a notice
briefly describing the supplemental warrant agreement. If the issuer of
securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants is an affiliate of the
Surviving Person, that issuer shall join in the supplemental warrant agreement.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company enters into a
Fundamental Transaction with another Person (other than a subsidiary of the
Company) and consideration is payable to holders of shares of Capital Stock (or
other securities or property) issuable or deliverable upon exercise of the
Warrants that are exercisable in exchange for such shares in connection with
such Fundamental Transaction which consideration consists solely of cash (
assuming (to the extent applicable) that each such holder (i) was not a
constituent person or an affiliate of a constituent person to such transaction,
(ii) made no election with respect thereto, and (iii) was treated alike with the
plurality of non-electing holders), then the holders of Warrants shall be
entitled to receive distributions on the date of such event on an equal basis
with holders of such shares (or other securities issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants) as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such event,
less the aggregate Exercise Price therefor. Upon receipt of such payment, if
any, the rights of a holder of such Warrant shall terminate and cease and such
holder's Warrants shall expire.
(iii) If this paragraph (e) applies, it shall supersede the
application of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.
(f) Other Events. If any event occurs as to which the foregoing provisions
------------
of this Section 12 are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would
not, in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors, fairly and adequately protect the purchase
rights of the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of
such provisions, then such Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the
application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and
principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of such
Board of Directors, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid, but in no
event shall any such adjustment have the effect of decreasing the Exercise Rate
or decreasing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants.
(g) Warrant Agent's Adjustment Disclaimer. The Warrant Agent shall have no
-------------------------------------
duty to determine when an adjustment under this Section 12 should be made, how
it should be made or what it should be. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to
determine whether a supplemental warrant agreement under paragraph (e) need be
entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental warrant agreement are
correct. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable for and 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 12.
(h) Adjustment for Tax Purposes. In the event of a taxable distribution to
---------------------------
holders of shares of Common Stock which results in an adjustment to the number
of shares of Common Stock or other consideration for which such a Warrant may be
exercised, the holders of the Warrants may, in certain circumstances, be deemed
to have received a distribution subject to United States federal income tax as a
dividend.
(i) Specificity of Adjustment. Regardless of any adjustment in the number
-------------------------
or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrant
Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same
number and kind of Warrant Shares per Warrant as are stated on the Warrant
Certificates initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
(j) Voluntary Adjustment. The Company from time to time may increase the
--------------------
Exercise Rate by any number and for any period of time provided that such period
is not less than 20 Business Days. Whenever the Exercise Rate is so increased,
the Company shall mail to holders at the addresses appearing on the Warrant
Register and file with the Warrant Agent a notice of the increase. The Company
shall give the notice at least 15 days before the date the increased Exercise
Rate takes effect. The notice shall state the increased Exercise Rate and the
period it will be in effect. A voluntary increase in the Exercise Rate shall
not change or adjust the Exercise Rate otherwise in effect as determined by this
Section 12.
(k) Multiple Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Exercise Rate for
--------------------
outstanding Warrants under this Section 12, any subsequent event requiring an
adjustment under this Section 12 shall cause an adjustment to the Exercise Rate
for outstanding Warrants as so adjusted.
(l) When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment in the
------------------------------------------
Exercise Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase of at
least one percent (1%) in the Exercise Rate. Any adjustments that are not made
shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustments.
All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest 1/1000th of
a share, as the case may be.
(m) Treasury Shares Disregarded. For purposes of this Section 12, the
---------------------------
number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include
shares held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall not pay any
dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury
of the Company.
(n) Tag-Along Transfers.
-------------------
(i) If the Company receives any Transfer Notice by a holder of Class D
Common Stock in respect of a proposed Tag-Along Transfer, as contemplated by
Section 4 of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company
(the "Articles"), the Company shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to
--------
each Holder of a Warrant.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Tag-Along
Transfer of a number of shares of Class D Common Stock equal to or greater than
80% of the outstanding shares of Class D Common Stock, then to the extent the
Warrants shall not have been exercised or the holder of the Warrant Shares
issued upon such exercise shall not have given a Tag-Along Notice in each case
on or before the Tag-Along Acceptance Date, such Warrants shall be subject to
redemption pursuant to Section 5 of the Articles and the Holders thereof shall
be entitled to receive the Tag-Along Redemption Price (reduced by the aggregate
Exercise Price payable by such Holders), in each case as if such Warrants had
been exercised immediately prior to the Tag-Along Acceptance Date. Upon receipt
of such payment, if any, the rights of a holder of such Warrant shall terminate
and cease and such holder's Warrants shall expire.
(iii) Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Section 12(n) have
the meanings set forth in the Articles.
(iv) Sections 4 and 5 of the Articles shall not be amended without the
consent of a majority-in-interest of the Holders of Warrants.
SECTION 13. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not be required
--------------------
to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants. If more than
one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same
holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of
Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 13,
be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the
Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value per share
of the Class A Common Stock of the Company on the day immediately preceding the
date the Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied by such fraction.
SECTION 14. Notice of Certain Distributions; Certain Rights. The
-----------------------------------------------
Company shall give prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent and shall cause
the Warrant Agent, on behalf of and at the expense of the Company to give to
each Holder written notice of any determination to make a distribution to the
holders of its Common Stock of any cash dividends, assets, debt securities,
preferred stock, or any rights or warrants to purchase debt securities,
preferred stock, assets or other securities (other than Common Stock, or rights,
options, or warrants to purchase Common Stock) of the Company, which notice
shall state the nature and
amount of such planned dividend or distribution and the record date therefor,
and shall be received by the Holders at least 20 days prior to such record date
therefor.
Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate
shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders the right to vote or to
consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of
shareholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or
any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company.
SECTION 15. Notices to the Company and Warrant Agent. Any notice or
----------------------------------------
demand authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or
by any Holder to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made when
received at the office of the Company expressly designated by the Company as its
office for purposes of this Agreement (until the Warrant Agent is otherwise
notified in accordance with this Section 15 by the Company), as follows:
Jostens Inc.
0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx

Attn: General Counsel
with a copy to:
Xxxxxx, Xxxx & Crutches LLP

Attention: Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Esq.
Any notice pursuant to this Agreement to be given by the Company or by
any Holder(s) to the Warrant Agent shall be sufficiently given when received by
the Warrant Agent at the address appearing below (until the Company is otherwise
notified in accordance with this section by the Warrant Agent).
Any notice or communication to a Holder shall be mailed by first class
mail, postage prepaid, to its address shown on the register kept by Warrant
Agent.
SECTION 16. Supplements and Amendments. (a) The Company and the
--------------------------
Warrant Agent may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without
the approval of any holders of Warrants in order to cure any ambiguity or to
correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions in
regard to matters or questions arising hereunder which the Company may deem
necessary or desirable and which shall not in any way adversely affect the
interests of any holder of Warrants as evidenced by an opinion of counsel which
may be in-house counsel delivered to the Warrant Agent.
(b) No other amendment or modifications of any provision of this
Agreement or the Warrant Certificates or consent to any departure by the Company
therefrom, shall in any
event be effective without written consent of the Holders of Warrants
representing at least a majority of all the Warrant Shares issued or issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants (the "Requisite Holders"), provided, however,
-------- -------
that without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, no amendment,
modification, termination or waiver may:
(i) make any change to the definition of "Requisite Holders"; or
(ii) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.
After an amendment or modification under this Section 16 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice
briefly describing such amendment or modification. Any failure of the Company
to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way
impair or affect the validity of any such amendment or modification.
In connection with any amendment or modification under this Section
16, the Company may offer, but shall not be obligated to offer, to any Holder
who consents to such amendment or modification, consideration for such Holder's
consent, so long as such consideration is offered to all Holders.
(c) The Company will not effect any proposed amendment or modification
of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates unless
each Holder (irrespective of the amount of Warrants or Warrant Shares then owned
by it) shall be informed thereof by the Company prior to the effectuation
thereof (but only to the extent the Company has been provided with addresses for
the Holders) and shall be afforded the opportunity of considering the same and
shall be supplied by the Company with sufficient information to enable it to
make an informed decision with respect thereto. Executed or true and correct
copies of any amendment or modification effected pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 16 shall be delivered by the Company to each Holder of outstanding
Warrants or Warrant Shares forthwith following the date on which the same shall
have been executed and delivered by the Holder or Holders of the requisite
percentage of outstanding Warrant Shares (but only to the extent the Company has
been provided with the addresses for the Holders).
SECTION 17. Concerning the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent
----------------------------
undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the
following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the Holders, by
their acceptance of Warrants, shall be bound (it being understood that the
Company, to the extent that it acts as Warrant Agent, shall not be entitled to
the benefits or protections of this Section 17.):
(a) The statements contained herein and in the Warrant Certificate
shall be taken as statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent assumes
no responsibility for the correctness of any of the same except such as
describe the Warrant Agent or any action taken by it. The Warrant Agent
assumes no responsibility with respect to the distribution of the Warrants
except as herein otherwise provided.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for and shall incur no
liability to the Company or any Holder for any failure of the Company to
comply with the covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Warrants to
be complied with by the Company.
(c) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or
powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself
(through its employees) or by or through its attorneys or agents (which
shall not include its employees) and shall not be responsible for the
misconduct of any attorney or agent appointed with due care.
(d) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with legal counsel
satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company), and the Warrant
Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any
holder in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such
counsel.
(e) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this 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
any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless such evidence in respect
thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed conclusively to be
proved and established by a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board,
the President, one of the Vice Presidents, the Treasurer or the Secretary of
the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such certificate shall
be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action taken or suffered
in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon
such certificate.
(f) The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent such compensation for
all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the performance of its duties
under this Agreement as may be separately agreed in writing, to reimburse
the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and governmental charges and
other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), and to indemnify the
Warrant Agent and its agents, employees, directors, officers and affiliates
and save it and them harmless against any and all liabilities, losses and
expenses, including, without limitation, judgments, costs and counsel fees,
for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the performance of its
duties under this Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent's
negligence or bad faith. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive
the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.
(g) 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.
All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants may
be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the
Warrants or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding
relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the
Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any
recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders, as
their respective rights or interests may appear.
(h) The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or
employee ("Related Parties") of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in
any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become
pecuniarily interested in any transactions in which the Company may be
interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act
as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this
Agreement or such director, officer or employee. Nothing herein shall
preclude the Warrant Agent or any Related Party from acting in any other
capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity including, without
limitation, acting as Transfer Agent or as a lender to the Company or an
affiliate thereof.
(i) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent, and its
duties shall be determined solely by the provisions thereof. The Warrant
Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from
doing in connection with this Agreement except for its own negligence or
bad faith. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Warrant Agent.
(j) The Warrant Agent will not incur any liability or responsibility
to the Company or to any holder for any action taken in reliance on any
notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper,
document or instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties.
(k) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in
respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery
hereof (except the due execution hereof by the Warrant Agent) or in respect
of the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature
thereof); nor shall the Warrant Agent by any act hereunder be deemed to
make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation
of any Warrant Shares (or other stock) to be issued pursuant to this
Agreement or any Warrant, or as to whether any Warrant Shares (or other
stock) will, when issued, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
or as to the Exercise Price or the number or amount of Warrant Shares or
other securities or other property issuable upon exercise of any Warrant.
(l) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept
instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the
Chairman of the Board, the President, Treasurer any Vice President or the
Secretary of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or
instructions in connection with its duties, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith and without negligence
in accordance with instructions of any such officer or officers.
(m) By countersigning Warrant Certificates or by any other act
hereunder the Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to make any representations as
to validity or authorization of the Warrants or the Warrant Certificates (except
as to its countersignature thereon) or of any securities or other property
delivered upon exercise or tender of any Warrant, or as to the accuracy of the
computation of the Exercise Price or the number or kind or amount of stock or
other securities or other property deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant or
the correctness of the representations of the Company made in any certifications
that the Warrant Agent receives.
The Warrant Agent shall not have any duty to calculate or determine any
adjustments with respect either to the Exercise Price or the kind and amount of
shares or other securities or any property receivable by holders of Warrants
upon the exercise or tender of Warrants required from time to time, and the
Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in determining the accuracy
or correctness of any such calculation.
SECTION 18. Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign
-----------------------
and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement by giving to the Company
30 days' notice in writing. The Warrant Agent may be removed by like notice to
the Warrant Agent from the Company. If the Warrant Agent shall resign or be
removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint
a successor to the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such
appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been
notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or
incapacitated Warrant Agent or by any holder (who shall with such notice submit
his Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the resigning or removed
Warrant Agent or any holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such court, the
duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company. Any successor
warrant agent, whether appointed by the Company or such a court, shall be a bank
or trust company in good standing, incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and having at
the time of its appointment as warrant agent a combined capital and surplus of
at least $250,000,000. After appointment, the successor warrant agent shall be
vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had
been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed; but the
former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor warrant agent
any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any
further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for such purpose. Failure
to file any notice provided for in this Section 18, however, or any defect
therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal
of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor warrant agent, as the
case may be. In the event of such resignation or removal, the Company or the
successor warrant agent shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each
Holder, written notice of such removal or resignation and the name and address
of such successor warrant agent.
SECTION 19. Identity of Transfer Agent. Forthwith upon the
--------------------------
appointment of any Transfer Agent for the Class A Common Stock or the Class E
Common Stock, or any other shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon
the exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall file with the Warrant Agent (or
if the Company is the Warrant Agent, deliver to the Warrantholders) a statement
setting forth the name and address of such Transfer Agent.
SECTION 20. Certain Defined Terms. Defined terms used in this

No. [ ]
CLASS E COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
OF
JOSTENS, INC.
THIS CERTIFIES THAT [ ], or its registered assigns, is the
registered holder of ______________ Class E Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the
"Warrants"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof (the "Holder"), at its
option and subject to the provisions contained herein and in the Warrant
Agreement referred to below, to purchase from Jostens, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation (the "Company"), one (1) share of Class E Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") at the per share exercise
price of $0.01 (the "Exercise Price") or by Cashless Exercise referred to below.
This Warrant Certificate shall terminate and become void as of the close of
business on May 1, 2011 (the "Expiration Date") or upon the exercise hereof as
to all the shares of Class E Common Stock subject hereto. The number of shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as set forth in the Warrant Agreement (as defined).
This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with a Warrant
Agreement dated as of May 10, 2000 (the "Warrant Agreement"), between the
Company and The Bank of New York, as Warrant Agent, and is subject to the terms
and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and
provisions the Holder of this Warrant Certificate consents by acceptance hereof.
The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part
hereof. Reference is hereby made to the Warrant Agreement for a full statement
of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations of the
Company and the Warrantholders. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Warrant Agreement. A copy of
the Warrant Agreement may be obtained for inspection by the Holder hereof upon
written request to the Company at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: General Counsel.
Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised
upon surrender at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose, which initially will be the principal office of the Company of the
certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrants to be exercised with the
form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly filled in and signed,
which signature shall be guaranteed by a participant in a recognized Signature
Guarantee Medallion Program, and upon payment to the Warrant Agent for the
account of the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares in
respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of the aggregate
Exercise Price shall be made (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check
to the order of the Company in New York Clearing House Funds, (ii) by wire
transfer to an account specified by the Company on request of the Holder, such
request to be made not less than two Business Days prior to the proposed
exercise of the Warrants or (iii) without the payment of cash, by reducing the
number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of a Warrant and
payment of the Exercise Price in cash so as to yield a number
of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Warrant equal to the product
of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable as of the Exercise Date
upon the exercise of such Warrant (if payment of the Exercise Price were being
made in cash) and (B) the Cashless Exercise Ratio.
The Warrants shall be exercisable, either in full or from time to time in part
and, in the event that a certificate evidencing Warrants is exercised in respect
of fewer than all of the Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise at any time
prior to the date of expiration of the Warrants, a new certificate evidencing
the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued, and the Warrant Agent is
irrevocably authorized to countersign and to deliver the required new Warrant
Certificate or Certificates pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, and the Company,
whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will promptly supply the Warrant Agent
with Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company for such
purpose.
This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant
Agent as such term is used in the Warrant Agreement.
As provided in the Warrant Agreement, the Exercise Rate is subject to adjustment
upon the happening of certain events.
The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial
issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however,
-------- -------
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant
Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of
the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of
a Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such
Warrant Certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the
issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
The Company shall not be required to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the
exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise
in full at the same time by the same holder, the number of full Warrant Shares
which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis
of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the
Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would be issuable on
the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall
pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value per share of the Class A
Common Stock of the Company on the day immediately preceding the date the
Warrant is presented for exercise, multiplied by such fraction.
All shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the exercise of the
Warrants shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable.
The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat Holders of the Warrant
Certificates as the absolute owners thereof (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for all purposes, and neither
the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
The Warrants do not entitle any Holder hereof to any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company.
