WARRANT AGREEMENT, dated as of December 28, 2006, among XXXXXX BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), CITIBANK, N.A., a national banking association (the “Warrant Agent”), and XXXXXX BROTHERS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Calculation Agent”).

WHEREAS the Company proposes to sell warrants (collectively, the “Warrants” or, individually, a “Warrant”) representing the right to receive from the Company an amount, if any, in U.S. Dollars determined by reference to the Japanese Yen on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance, transfer and exercise of the Warrants, and the Company desires to set forth herein, among other things, the provisions of the Warrants and the terms and conditions on which they may be issued, transferred and exercised.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND FORM,
EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND REGISTRATION
OF WARRANTS

SECTION 1.01. Issuance of Warrants. (a) The Warrants will constitute direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally with the Company’s other unsecured contractual obligations and with the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

(b) The Warrants will be issued in book-entry form and represented by one or more global certificates (each a “Global Warrant Certificate”) in accordance with Section 1.02 hereof. Each Warrant shall represent the right, subject to the provisions contained herein, to receive the Cash Settlement Amount of such Warrant upon exercise. In no event shall a registered or beneficial holder of a Warrant (each a “Warrantholder”) be entitled to receive any interest on any Cash Settlement Amount. A Warrant will not require or entitle a Warrantholder to receive Japanese Yen. The Company shall not be under any obligation to, nor will it, sell Japanese Yen to, or purchase or take delivery of Japanese Yen from, Warrantholders in connection with the exercise of any Warrants.

(c) Warrantholders shall be entitled to hold interests in Warrants through Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”), or the Euroclear System operated by Xxxxxx Guaranty Trust’s Brussels Office (“Euroclear”) only through the Depository, in accordance with the rules of the Depository, on behalf of Clearstream or Euroclear.

SECTION 1.02. Form, Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. (a) Each Global Warrant Certificate shall be evidenced by a certificate in registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions

and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may represent any number of whole Warrants. Each Global Warrant Certificate may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the officers of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto, or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, or of the Depository, or to conform to usage.

(b) The Warrant Agent is authorized, upon receipt of a Global Warrant Certificate from the Company, duly executed on behalf of the Company, and a written order from the Company, to countersign such Global Warrant Certificate. The Global Warrant Certificate shall be manually countersigned and dated the date of its countersignature by the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The Warrant Agent shall deliver the Global Warrant Certificate to or upon the order of the Company. One or more Global Warrant Certificates may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent on or after the date of execution of this Agreement; provided that only one Global Warrant Certificate shall be outstanding at any one time.

(c) In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed a Global Warrant Certificate, either manually or by facsimile signature, shall cease to be such officer before such Global Warrant Certificate shall have been countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company or delivered by the Company, such Global Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though the person who signed such Global Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and the Global Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Global Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Global Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such officer.

(d) The Global Warrant Certificate will initially be registered in the name of a nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”, which term, as used herein, includes any successor securities depository selected by the Company). The Warrant holdings of the Depository participants (the “Participants”) will be recorded on the books of the Depository.

The holdings of customers of the Participants and the identity of the Warrantholders will be reflected on the books and records of such Participants and will not be known to the Warrant Agent, the Company, the Calculation Agent or the Depository. The Global Warrant Certificate will be held by the Depository or its agent.

The Company may from time to time select a new entity to act as Depository with respect to the Warrants and, if such selection is made, the Company shall promptly give the Warrant Agent written notice to such effect identifying the new Depository, and the Global Warrant Certificate shall be delivered to the Warrant Agent and shall be transferred to the new Depository as provided below as promptly as possible. Appropriate changes may be made in the forms of the Global Warrant Certificate, the Exercise Notice and the related notices to be delivered in connection with an exercise to reflect the selection of the new Depository.

(e) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Global Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of the Global Warrant Certificate in its records (which may be maintained electronically), subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe, only to the Depository, to another nominee of the Depository, to a successor Depository or to a nominee of a successor Depository, upon surrender of such Global Warrant Certificate, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company, duly executed by the registered holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof, or by its duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a correspondent office in New York City or by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Global Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent.

The Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred as provided above at the option of the holder thereof, when surrendered to the Warrant Agent’s Office, or at the office of any successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03 hereof), for another Global Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equal number of unexercised Warrants.

(f) Except as provided in Section 1.03 hereof, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Warrant Certificates, other than exchanges pursuant to this Section 1.02 not involving any transfer.

SECTION 1.03. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. (a) If any Global Warrant Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion execute, and the Warrant Agent may countersign and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Global Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of the Global Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Global Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equal number of unexercised Warrants, bearing an identification number not contemporaneously outstanding, but only (in case of loss, theft or destruction) upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such Global Warrant Certificate, written direction from the Company, and security or indemnity,

if requested, also satisfactory to them. Applicants for such substitute Global Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

(b) In case all of the Warrants evidenced by any such mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Global Warrant Certificate have been or are about to be exercised, or deemed to be exercised, the Company in its absolute discretion may, instead of issuing a new Global Warrant Certificate, direct the Warrant Agent in writing to treat the same as if it had received an Exercise Notice in proper form in respect thereof, as provided herein, or as being subject to automatic exercise (pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof) , as the case may be.

(c) Each new Global Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 1.03 in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Global Warrant Certificate shall be an original, additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Global Warrant Certificate shall at any time be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Global Warrant Certificates duly issued hereunder.

(d) Upon the issuance of any new Global Warrant Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.03, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent and the reasonable fees of its counsel) connected therewith.

(e) The provisions of this Section 1.03 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Global Warrant Certificates.

ARTICLE II

DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

SECTION 2.01. Duration of Warrants; Exercise Notice. Subject to the limitations set forth herein and in Sections 2.02, 2.05 and 2.06(b) hereof, each Warrant may be irrevocably exercised in whole but not in part on any Business Day from December 28, 2006 until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the Business Day immediately preceding June 20, 2008 (June 20, 2008 being referred to herein as the “Expiration Date”) and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the Delisting Date, if any. Except in the event of automatic exercise, each Warrant shall be irrevocably exercised upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of such Warrant delivered free on the records of the Depository to the Warrant Agent’s Depository Participant Account (entitled Citibank, N.A. Corporate Trust Warrant Agent Account, No. 2659, or such other account at the Depository as the Warrant Agent shall designate in writing to the Company) (the “Warrant Account”) pursuant to an Exercise Notice to the Warrant Agent from a Participant; provided, however, that Exercise Notices are subject to rejection by the Warrant Agent as provided herein. An Exercise Notice shall be unconditional. Except as provided in Section 2.02(b) hereof, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled, with no duty of inquiry, to rely conclusively on any Exercise Notice received by it. “Exercise Notice” means an irrevocable exercise notice to

the Warrant Agent at its address, which notice shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto or such other form as the Company and the Warrant Agent may approve and may be given by facsimile transmission.

SECTION 2.02. Exercise and Delivery of Warrants. (a) Except for Warrants (x) subject to automatic exercise (as described in Section 2.05 hereof), (y) for which exercise is delayed pursuant to Section 2.06(b) hereof or (z) held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, the “Exercise Date” for a Warrant will be (i) the Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and Exercise Notice duly completed and in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if received at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Warrant and Exercise Notice after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, then the Business Day following such Business Day.

In the case of Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise, the “Exercise Date” for a Warrant will be (i) the Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the Exercise Notice duly completed and in proper form with respect to such Warrant if such Exercise Notice is received at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day; provided that the Warrant is received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Valuation Date, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Exercise Notice after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, then the Business Day following such Business Day; provided that the Warrant is received by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Valuation Date relating to exercises of Warrants on the applicable Valuation Day. In the event that a Warrant is received after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Valuation Date, then the Exercise Date for such Warrant will be the day on which such Warrant is received or, if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day. In the case of Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, (a) participants must also transmit, by facsimile, to the Warrant Agent a copy of the Exercise Notice submitted to Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the desired Exercise Date and (b) Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, must confirm (a “Clearstream/Euroclear Confirmation”) by telex to the Warrant Agent by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Valuation Date that the Warrants will be received by the Warrant Agent on such date; provided that if such telex communication is received after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Valuation Date, the Company will be entitled, in it sole discretion, to direct the Warrant Agent to reject the related Exercise Notice or waive the requirement for timely delivery of such telex communication.

(b) The Warrant Agent shall, in the case of Warrants other than those held through Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of a properly delivered Warrant in accordance with Section 2.02(a) hereof, accompanied by an Exercise Notice, and, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of a properly delivered Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 2.02(a) hereof:

(i) promptly (1) for Warrants not held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine whether such Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form and (2) for Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine whether such Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form duly executed by the Clearstream or the Euroclear participant tendering such Warrant, as applicable; and, in

either case, if the Warrant Agent determines that the Exercise Notice has not been duly completed or is not in proper form, the Warrant Agent promptly shall (X) reject such Exercise Notice and shall send to the entity that executed such Exercise Notice a notice of rejection substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto and shall redeliver such Warrants (to the extent received in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) free through the facilities of the Depository to the account from which they were transferred to the Warrant Agent and (Y) shall not take the actions required by clauses (ii)-(viii) below with respect to such Exercise Notice or the related Warrants; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent shall deliver a copy of the Exercise Notice relating to such Warrants to the Company as required by clause (viii) below and the Company may waive, in its sole discretion, any defect in the form of such Exercise Notice;

(ii) with respect to each Warrant held through Clearstream or Euroclear for which an Exercise Notice was received, promptly telephone Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, to determine whether Clearstream or Euroclear anticipates that it will be able to provide a Clearstream/Euroclear Confirmation as required by Section 2.02(a) hereof;

(iii) notify the Company and the Calculation Agent (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day that such Exercise Notice has been received (or shall be deemed to have been received) of (A) the total number of Warrants covered by such Exercise Notice and (B) the number of such Warrants, if any, as to which Clearstream or Euroclear, as applicable, has not advised the Warrant Agent that it anticipates being able to provide a Clearstream/Euroclear Confirmation as required by Section 2.02(a) hereof;

(iv) with respect to Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine whether the Warrant Agent has received by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Valuation Date relating to such Warrants, Clearstream/Euroclear Confirmations with respect to such Warrants as required by Section 2.02(a) hereof, and if the Warrant Agent has not received any such Clearstream/Euroclear Confirmation by such time, notify the Company and the Calculation Agent (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Valuation Date of the number of such Warrants in respect of which the Warrant Agent has not received such Clearstream/Euroclear Confirmations and (except to the extent the Company has notified the Warrant Agent that it has waived the requirement of timely delivery of such Clearstream/Euroclear Confirmation) send to the Clearstream or Euroclear participant that executed such Exercise Notice for which no related Clearstream/Euroclear Confirmation was received (at the address specified in such notice) a notice of rejection substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto;

(v) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Exercise Date for such Warrants, notify the Company and the Calculation Agent of the total number of exercised Warrants so determined;

(vi) obtain from the Calculation Agent the calculation of the Cash Settlement Amount of the exercised Warrants (excluding any Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear as to which timely delivery of the related Warrant has not been made) as of their Valuation Date in the manner set forth in Section 2.02 hereof by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Valuation Date;

(vii) notify the Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Valuation Date of the aggregate Cash Settlement Amount payable in respect of the exercised Warrants, and send notices of confirmation substantially in the form included in Exhibit C to the appropriate Participant specifying therein the reference number assigned by the Warrant Agent to each accepted Exercise Notice; and

(viii) promptly deliver a copy of each Exercise Notice to the Company and advise the Company of such other matters relating to the exercised Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request. Any notice to be given to the Company by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) or telecopy.

Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise (as described in Section 2.05 hereof), if on any applicable Valuation Date the Cash Settlement Amount for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then the attempted exercise of such Warrants shall be void and of no effect and such Warrants shall be transferred by the Warrant Agent back to the Participant (including Clearstream and Euroclear) that submitted them free to the Warrant Agent on the records of the Depository (to the extent received in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) and, in any such case, the Warrants in question shall remain outstanding and exercisable thereafter.

(c) The Company shall make available to the Warrant Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day after the Valuation Date for exercised Warrants (the “Settlement Payment Date”), funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Settlement Amount of such Warrants. If the Company has made such funds available as provided in the preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making funds available to the Depository in accordance with procedures agreed upon between the Depository and the Warrant Agent, against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Settlement Payment Date, such funds to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Amount of the Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Agent (together with the related Exercise Notice) as provided in Sections 2.01 and 2.02(a) and (b) hereof. The Depository will be responsible for disbursing such funds to each appropriate Participant, and such Participant will be responsible for disbursing such funds to the Warrantholders it represents and to each brokerage firm for which it acts as agent. Each such brokerage firm will be responsible for disbursing funds to the Warrantholders it represents.

(d) The Warrant Agent shall cause its records, which may be kept electronically, to be marked to reflect the reduction in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate by the number of Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Agent and for

which payment has been made as provided in Section 2.02(c) hereof promptly after such delivery and payment. Absent manifest error, the Warrant Agent’s records shall be conclusive evidence of such matters.

SECTION 2.03. Disruption Events. If a Disruption Event is in effect on the Valuation Date for any Warrants, the Valuation Date for such Warrants will be postponed to, and the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Exchange Rate on, the first Scheduled Business Day succeeding the Valuation Date on which no Disruption Event is occurring; provided however that if a Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing on each of the three Scheduled Business Days following the scheduled Valuation Date for such Warrants, then such third Scheduled Business Day shall be deemed the Valuation Date for such Warrants, and the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Exchange Rate applicable to such Warrants on such day in accordance with the Fallback Rate Observation Methodology.

SECTION 2.04. Delisting of Warrants. In the event the Warrants are delisted from, or permanently suspended from trading on (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the AMEX and not accepted on or before that time for listing on another United States national securities exchange, Warrants not previously exercised will be deemed automatically exercised on the Delisting Date, and the Cash Settlement Amount shall be calculated and settled as provided in Section 2.02 hereof. The Company will notify the Warrant Agent in writing, who will notify the Warrantholders as soon as practicable of such delisting or trading suspension. However, if the Company first receives notice of the delisting or suspension on the same day on which the Warrants are delisted or suspended, such day will be deemed the Delisting Date without notice to the Warrantholders.

SECTION 2.05. Automatic Exercise of Warrants. (a) All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received an Exercise Notice duly completed and in proper form at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the Delisting Date, if any, or for which the Warrant Agent has received an Exercise Notice duly completed and in proper form but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has not been made, will be deemed automatically exercised on such date without any requirement of an Exercise Notice to the Warrant Agent. The Exercise Date for such Warrants shall be the Expiration Date or the Delisting Date, as the case may be, or if such date is not a Business Day, the following Business Day. The Valuation Date for such Warrants shall be the Business Day immediately following the date of automatic exercise, subject to postponement in the event of a Disruption Event, as described in Section 2.03 hereof.

(b) The Warrant Agent shall by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date or the Delisting Date, as the case may be, notify the Company and the Calculation Agent (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) of the number of Warrants to be automatically exercised on such day. The Warrant Agent shall (i) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Valuation Date, obtain from the Calculation Agent the calculation of the Cash Settlement Amount (as determined by the Calculation Agent in the manner provided in Section 2.02 hereof) of the Warrants to be automatically exercised, (ii) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Valuation Date, notify the Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall

designate in writing) of the aggregate Cash Settlement Amount payable in respect of such automatically exercised Warrants and (iii) advise the Company of such other matters relating to the automatically exercised Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request.

(c) The Company shall make available to the Warrant Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day after the applicable Valuation Date for automatically exercised Warrants (the “Automatic Settlement Payment Date”), funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Settlement Amount of such Warrants. If the Company has made such funds available as provided in the preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making funds available to the Depository in accordance with procedures agreed upon between the Depository and the Warrant Agent, against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic Settlement Payment Date, such funds to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Amount of the Warrants subject to such automatic exercise. The Depository will be responsible for disbursing such funds to each appropriate Participant, and such Participant will be responsible for disbursing such funds to the Warrantholders it represents and to each brokerage firm for which it acts as agent. Each such brokerage firm will be responsible for disbursing funds to the Warrantholders it represents.

SECTION 2.06. Denominations; Maximum Number of Exercisable Warrants; Minimum Number of Exercisable Warrants. (a) The Warrants will be issued in denominations of 100 Warrants and whole multiples of 100.

(b) All exercises of Warrants (except in the case of automatic exercise of Warrants as described in Section 2.05 hereof) shall be subject, at the Calculation Agent’s option, to the limitation that not more than 500,000 Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date. If any Business Day would otherwise, under the terms of this Agreement, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than 500,000 Warrants, then at the Calculation Agent’s option (by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following such Exercise Date), 500,000 of such Warrants (selected by the Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis or by lot) shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date, and the remainder of such Warrants (the “Remaining Warrants”) shall be deemed exercised on the following Business Day (subject to successive applications of this Section 2.06). Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised in the order of their respective initial Exercise Dates, and Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any other Warrants initially exercised after such Remaining Warrants. The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised under this Section 2.06(b) shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the “Exercise Date” in respect of such Warrant.

(c) No fewer than 100 Warrants may be exercised by a Warrantholder at any one time.

SECTION 2.07. Covenant of the Company. The Company covenants, for the benefit of the Warrantholders, that it will not seek the delisting of the Warrants from, or suspension of their trading on, the AMEX unless the Company has, at the same time, arranged for listing of the Warrants on another United States national securities exchange.

SECTION 2.08. Return of Money Held Unclaimed for Two Years. Except as otherwise provided herein, any money deposited with or paid to the Warrant Agent for the payment of the Cash Settlement Amount of any Warrants and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such Cash Settlement Amount shall have become due and payable shall be repaid by the Warrant Agent to the Company and the holders of such Warrants shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such holders may be entitled to collect and all liability of the Warrant Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent, before making any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company notify the Participants concerned, that said money has not been so applied and remains unclaimed and that after a date named in the notification any unclaimed balance of said money then remaining will be returned to the Company.

SECTION 2.09. Return of Global Warrant Certificate. At such time as all of the Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate have been exercised (including pursuant to an automatic exercise) and all payments to the Participants made as provided herein, the Warrant Agent shall, upon written direction from the Company, destroy the canceled Global Warrant Certificate (unless instructed by the Company in writing to deliver the Global Warrant Certificate to the Company) and shall provide a certificate of destruction to the Company.

ARTICLE III

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO
RIGHTS OF WARRANTHOLDERS

SECTION 3.01. Warrantholder May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, any Warrantholder, without the consent of the Warrant Agent, may, in and for its own behalf, enforce, and may institute and maintain, any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right to exercise, and to receive payment for, its Warrants as provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 3.02. Merger, Consolidation, Sale, Transfer or Conveyance. If at any time there shall be a merger or consolidation involving the Company or a sale, transfer, conveyance (other than by way of lease) or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company, then the successor or assuming corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company under this Agreement and the Warrants, with the same effect as if it had been named herein and in any Global Warrant Certificate as the Company. The Company shall thereupon be relieved of any further obligation hereunder or under the Warrants and may at any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or liquidated. In any case of any such consolidation or merger involving the Company or sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company, any changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) that may be appropriate may be made in the Global Warrant Certificates delivered thereafter.

The Warrant Agent may rely on a written opinion of counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation or merger involving the Company or sale, transfer, conveyance (other than by way of lease) or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company complies with the provisions of this Section 3.02.

ARTICLE IV

WARRANTS ACQUIRED BY THE COMPANY;
PAYMENT OF TAXES; TAXATION OF WARRANTS

which no Disruption Event is occurring; provided however that if a Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing on each of the three Scheduled Business Days following the scheduled Valuation Date for such Warrants, then such third Scheduled Business Day shall be deemed the Valuation Date for such Warrants, and the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Exchange Rate applicable to such Warrants on such day in accordance with the Fallback Rate Observation Methodology.

The valuation of and payment for any exercised Warrant may be postponed as a result of the exercise of a number of Warrants exceeding the maximum permissible amount as described herein, in which case the Warrantholder will receive the Cash Settlement Amount determined as of a later date.

Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, in the event the Warrants are delisted from, or permanently suspended from trading on (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), the AMEX and not accepted on or before that time for listing on another United States national securities exchange, Warrants not previously exercised will be deemed automatically exercised on the Delisting Date, in which case the Warrantholder will receive the Cash Settlement Amount.

All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received an Exercise Notice in proper form at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the Delisting Date, if any, or for which the Warrant Agent has received an Exercise Notice in proper form but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has not been made, will be deemed automatically exercised on such date without any requirement of an Exercise Notice to the Warrant Agent.

The Warrants will be issued in denominations of 100 Warrants and whole multiples of 100.

Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, all exercises of Warrants (except in the case of automatic exercise of Warrants) shall be subject, at the Calculation Agent’s option, to the limitation that not more than 500,000 Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date. No fewer than 100 Warrants may be exercised by a Warrantholder at any one time.

The Company intends to treat and, by purchasing a Warrant, the Warrantholder agrees to treat, for all tax purposes, a Warrant as a nonequity option within the meaning of section 1256(g)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner of the Warrants evidenced hereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced hereby, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, from time to time register the transfer of this Global Warrant Certificate in its records (which may be maintained electronically) to be maintained by it for that purpose at the Warrant Agent’s Office upon surrender hereof, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered holder hereof or by the duly appointed legal representative or duly authorized attorney thereof, such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a correspondent office in New York City or by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee.

The Warrant Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to amendment, as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

THIS GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
