2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company and Parent as follows:

(a) Organization. The Investor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or conduct of business requires it to qualify, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Investor to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, to the extent a party thereto (an “Investor Material Adverse Effect”). The Investor possesses all requisite corporate power and authority and all material licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as presently conducted and to carry out the Exchange and the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as would not have an Investor Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which the Investor is a party have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Investor. The Transaction Documents to which the Investor is a party each constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions. No other corporate proceedings are necessary for the execution and delivery by the Investor of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by it of the Exchange and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Consents. Except as has been obtained or will be obtained prior to the Closing, no consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority, regulatory authority, court or other third party on the part of the Investor is required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Exchange and the transactions contemplated hereby, except where the failure to obtain such consent, approval or authorization or make such declaration or filing would not be reasonably likely to have an Investor Material Adverse Effect.

(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of the Transaction Documents to which the Investor is a party and the consummation of the and the transactions contemplated thereby will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound, (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents of the Investor or (iii) result in the violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) above, for any such conflict, breach, violation or default that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an Investor Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Title. The Investor has good and valid title to the Old PIK Notes held by it and will deliver the Old PIK Notes free and clear of all commitments, mortgages, pledges, taxes, liens, charges, encumbrances or other security interests or claims of right to title by any third party of any kind whatsoever.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

3.1 Standstill.

exchange, conversion or otherwise), of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including derivative securities representing the right to vote or economic benefits of any such securities; (ii) make, effect or commence any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) consummate or commence any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or, dissolution with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) make, or in any way participate in, any “solicitation” of proxies to vote or consent, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of, any voting securities of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (but without limiting stockholders’ rights to vote the securities); (v) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to, or otherwise act in concert with any Person in respect of, any voting equity securities of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) negotiate with any Person with respect to, or make any statement or proposal to any Person with respect to, or make any public announcement (except as required by law) or proposal or offer whatsoever with respect to, or act as a financing source for or otherwise invest in any other Persons (other than in its or its Affiliates’ investment management, banking, brokerage, securities or similar business and other such insubstantial investments in the ordinary course of business) in connection with, or otherwise solicit, seek or offer to effect any transactions or actions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii), or make any other proposal or statement inconsistent with the terms of this Section 3.1 or that otherwise would reasonably be expected to result in a public announcement regarding any such transactions or actions (except as required by law); or (viii) knowingly advise, assist, or encourage any other Persons in connection with any of the foregoing (other than in its or its Affiliates’ investment management, banking, brokerage, securities or similar business); unless and until, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii), the Investor has received the prior written invitation or approval of Parent’s Board of Directors to do so.

(b) During the Standstill Period, Investor, together with its Affiliates (whose ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Investor for determinations of beneficial ownership pursuant to this paragraph), shall not become a beneficial owner of more than 29.5% of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Cap”) (beneficial ownership shall have the meaning set forth in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that it shall include shares of Common Stock that Investor or such Affiliates have the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time). The Cap shall not apply if bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings have commenced by or on behalf of the Company. The Cap shall be automatically increased to such higher percentage of Common Stock as may be permitted in the future without triggering change in control covenants in any credit agreement, indenture or management agreement of Parent and/or the Company. By way of example, if the change in control trigger in the Credit Agreement and all of the Company’s management agreements were increased to 33%, the Cap would be increased to 32.5%. In addition, the Cap shall not apply in the event that a change in control or similar event, not caused by actions of the Investor or its Affiliates, occurs and results in repurchase obligations, defaults or acceleration with respect to all credit agreements, indentures or other indebtedness containing such a provision of Parent and/or the Company that contain such change in control covenants that are not otherwise waived (and without regard to consequences under management agreements) (a “Cap Termination”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend the Cap to prohibit Investor’s

purchases of Common Stock from triggering change in control covenants with respect to Parent and the Company’s indebtedness and management agreements unless such covenants are already triggered and not waived as a result of Common Stock purchases by other parties.

3.2 Lock-Up. Subject to the exceptions contained in this Section 3.2, so long as the Investor owns Registrable Common Stock or has the right to acquire Registrable Common Stock or has a contingent right to receive a Series II Exchange Warrant and/or Series III Exchange Warrant pursuant to this Agreement exercisable for Registrable Common Stock, the Investor shall not offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to, or consent to the offer for sale, sale, transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of any or all of the Common Stock, any rights to acquire Common Stock or any interest therein (any of the foregoing, a “Disposition”) if the aggregate number of Common Stock sold by the Investor on any given trading day would exceed 50% of the average daily volume for the prior ten trading days, excluding shares of Common Stock sold by the Investor during the applicable period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Disposition of Common Stock by the Investor shall not be subject to the foregoing if the Disposition of Common Stock is:

(a) pursuant to an offer or exchange subject to Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act;

(b) pursuant to a negotiated transaction with a third party involving a block sale of Common Stock;

(d) to Parent or

(e) pursuant to an underwritten offering of the Common Stock.

In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, the limitations shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares.

3.3 Contingent Warrants.

(a) If any principal amount of the Exchange PIK Notes is outstanding on the earlier of (such earlier date, the “Series II Date”) (i) December 1, 2010 or (ii) the date that the Company has paid off, defeased, satisfied and discharged or redeemed its indebtedness obligations under its Floating Rate Notes, Parent shall issue to the Investor on the Series II Date a warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, which, when exercised, will entitle the Investor to acquire, subject to the Cap, a number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock representing ten percent (10%) (such percentage to be reduced on a pro rata basis with any reduction in the principal amount of the Exchange PIK Notes as of the Series II Date) of the Common Stock outstanding as determined on the Series II Date (on a fully diluted basis, excluding the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2006 Warrant and the Series I Exchange Warrant and any options to purchase shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided such options have not been repriced or otherwise modified) at a price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock (the “Series II Exchange Warrant”). By way of example, if a principal amount of $40.2 million of the Exchange PIK Notes is outstanding as of the Series II Date, Parent would issue a Series II Exchange Warrant entitling the Investor to acquire, subject to the Cap, a number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock representing five percent (5%) of the Common Stock outstanding, as determined on the Series II Date (on a fully diluted basis, excluding the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2006 Warrant and the Series I Exchange Warrant and any options to purchase shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided such options have not been repriced or otherwise modified), at a price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock.

(b) If any principal amount of the Exchange PIK Notes is outstanding 180 days, 210 days or 240 days after the Series II Date (each, a “Series III Issuance Date”), Parent shall issue to the Investor on such date, as applicable, a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, which, when exercised, will entitle the Investor to acquire, subject to the Cap then in effect, a number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock representing three and one-thirds percent (3 1/3%) (such percentage to be reduced on a pro rata basis with any reduction in the principal amount of the Exchange PIK Notes as of such Series III Issuance Date) of the Common Stock outstanding as determined on the Series II Date (on a fully diluted basis, excluding the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2006 Warrant and the Series I Exchange Warrant and any options to purchase shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided such options have not been repriced or otherwise modified) at a price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock (each, a “Series III Exchange Warrant” and together with the Series I Exchange Warrant and Series II Exchange Warrant, the “Exchange Warrants”). By way of example, if a principal amount of $40.2 million of the Exchange PIK Notes is outstanding 210 days after the Series II Date, Parent would issue on that date a Series III Exchange Warrant entitling the Investor to acquire, subject to the Cap, if applicable, a number of shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock representing one and two-thirds percent (1 2/3%) of the Common Stock outstanding, as determined on the Series II Date (on a fully diluted basis, excluding the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2006 Warrant and the Series I Exchange Warrant and any options to purchase shares of Common Stock

outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided such options have not been repriced or otherwise modified), at a price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing in Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b), prior to and as a condition to the issuance of any Series II Exchange Warrant or Series III Exchange Warrant, the Investor shall provide to Parent a certificate of an officer of the Investor confirming the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor, together with its Affiliates whose ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Investor for purposes of Section 3.3(b) hereof (calculated to include the right to acquire Common Stock, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) (the “Confirmation”) and certifying that such current ownership, together with the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Series II Exchange Warrant or Series III Exchange Warrant and the right to acquire Common Stock by the Investor or such Affiliates, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time, does not exceed the Cap then in effect (the “Certification”). If the Investor is unable to provide the Certification to Parent then, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and upon receipt of the Confirmation, Parent shall issue a portion of such Series II Exchange Warrant or Series III Exchange Warrant, as applicable, entitling the Investor to acquire such number of shares of Common Stock such that the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor, together with such Affiliates, directors, officers and representatives (calculated to include the right to acquire Common Stock by the Investor or such Affiliates, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time) would not exceed the Cap, and Parent shall issue the remaining portion of such Series II Exchange Warrant or Series III Exchange Warrant that would have been issuable as of the Series II Date or the Series III Issuance Date (without regard to subsequent redemptions of Exchange PIK Notes), as applicable, at such subsequent time as the Investor is able to provide the Certification to Parent, or the Cap shall no longer be applicable.

(d) For so long as (i) any portion of the Exchange PIK Notes remains outstanding and (ii) any portion of the Series II Warrants or Series III Warrants has not yet been issued pursuant to this Section 3.3, Parent shall not repurchase, extinguish or otherwise reduce outstanding shares of its capital stock without the prior consent of the Investor if such reduction in outstanding shares would result in the Investor beneficially owning more than 9.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

3.4 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, each Party hereto shall deliver or cause to be delivered such further documents and instruments and shall do and cause to be done such further acts as a Party may reasonably request to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

3.5 Public Announcements. Except as may be required by applicable law, no Party hereto shall make any public announcements or otherwise communicate with any news media with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, without prior consultation with the other parties as to the timing and contents of any such announcement or communications; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent any Party from promptly making all filings with any Governmental Entity or disclosures with the stock

exchange, if any, on which such Party’s capital stock is listed, as may, in its judgment, be required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

3.6 Blue Sky Laws. The Parent shall exercise its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify (or obtain an exemption from registration) the Exchange Securities under the blue sky laws of such states and districts of the United States and such other jurisdictions as the Investor shall reasonably request; provided, however, that, in the case of non-U.S. jurisdictions, the Parent will not be required to (a) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3.6, (b) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (c) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction). The Parent shall pay for all fees (including filing and application fees), costs and expenses in connection therewith.

3.7 Reservation of Common Stock. The Parent shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock the number of shares required for (i) the issuance of the Exchange Shares and (ii) the exercise of any of the Warrants.

3.8 Investor Agreements.

(a) So long as the Investor owns Registrable Common Stock or has the right to acquire Registrable Common Stock or has a contingent or non-contingent right to receive a Series II Exchange Warrant and/or Series III Exchange Warrant pursuant to this Agreement exercisable for Registrable Common Stock, as a condition to (x) the Transfer by the Investor of any Exchange Warrant or shares of Common Stock (excluding shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or shares sold in an underwritten offering, whether or not registered) to any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) that beneficially owns more than five (5%) percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such transfer or (y) the Transfer by the Investor of any such Exchange Warrant or shares of Common Stock representing more than five (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such transfer to any Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), such Person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) shall have entered into an agreement with Parent agreeing to the obligations of the Investor under Sections 3.1 and 3.8. It shall be deemed a sufficient evidence of compliance by the Investor with this Section 3.8(a) for the Investor to obtain a letter from such transferee in the form of Exhibit G hereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing, so long as the Investor owns Registrable Common Stock or has the right to acquire Registrable Common Stock or has a contingent or non-contingent right to receive a Series II Exchange Warrant and/or Series III Exchange Warrant pursuant to this Agreement exercisable for Registrable Common Stock, the Investor agrees that it will not directly or knowingly indirectly transfer any Exchange Warrants or shares of Common Stock to any Person listed on Schedule 3.8 hereto without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be given or withheld, or made subject to such conditions

as are determined by Parent, in its sole discretion), other than transfers in connection with a change of control transaction resulting in a Cap Termination. It shall be deemed a sufficient investigation by the Investor as to whether such transferee is an affiliate of any Person listed on Schedule 3.8 hereof for purposes of compliance with this paragraph to obtain a letter from such transferee in the form of Exhibit H hereto.

Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the Parties.

				Warrant to Purchase • Shares of Common Stock
		No. 1

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Libbey Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, hereby certifies that XXXXXXX XXXXX PCG, INC., or each of its registered assignees or transferees (any such Person, a “Holder”) is entitled, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, to purchase from the Company, at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period (as hereinafter defined), an aggregate of • fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares (as hereinafter defined), at a purchase price per Warrant Share (as hereinafter defined) equal to the Exercise Price (as hereinafter defined).

“Warrant Shares” means the Common Stock of the Company deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant, as adjusted from time to time.

Section 2. Exercise of Warrant. (a) Subject to the terms set forth in clause (b) below, this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, during the Exercise Period, by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office at the address set forth on the signature page hereof (or at such other address as the Company may hereafter notify the Holders in writing), with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by proper payment of that portion of the Exercise Price represented by the number of Warrant Shares specified in such form being exercised. Such payment may be made, at the option of the Holders, either (i) by cash, check payable to the order of the Company or wire transfer in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Exercise Price times (y) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised or (ii) by electing to receive from the Company the number of Warrant Shares equal to (x) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised minus (y) the number of Warrant Shares having a value, based on the Current Market Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise, equal to the product of (aa) the Exercise Price times (bb) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder plus, pursuant to Section 4 below, any cash in lieu of fractional shares upon cashless exercise. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such Purchase Form, together with the applicable portion of the Exercise Price, at such office, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the share register of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. If this Warrant and such Purchase Form are delivered, together with the applicable portion of the Exercise Price, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, the Company will take reasonable best efforts to register such

corresponding Warrant Shares in the name of the Holder and deliver (in book-entry form) such corresponding Warrant Shares not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the following Business Day. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue taxes payable in respect of the issue of the Warrant Shares provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of any Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the Warrant at the time of exercise.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Warrant may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would result in the Holder becoming a “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) of more than 9.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such exercise, taking into account all other securities beneficially owned by the Holder, on the date of such measurement (i) unless the Holder delivers a notice to the Company electing to increase such percentage above 9.5% and more than 65 days have elapsed from the date of such notice, or (ii) unless and only for so long as the Common Stock is not registered or required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Company shall not repurchase or redeem any shares of Common Stock, or take any similar action, if the effect thereof would cause the Holder to beneficially own over 9.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such exercise. Notwithstanding anything above, in no event shall the Holder, together with its Affiliates (whose ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder for determinations of beneficial ownership pursuant to this paragraph), shall not become a beneficial owner of more than 29.5% of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Cap”) (beneficial ownership shall have the meaning set forth in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that it shall include shares of Common Stock that the Holder or such Affiliates have the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time). The Cap shall not apply if bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings have commenced by or on behalf of the Company. The Cap shall be automatically increased to such higher percentage of Common Stock as may be permitted in the future without triggering change in control covenants in any credit agreement, indenture or management agreement of Parent and/or the Company. By way of example, if the change in control trigger in the Credit Agreement and all of the Company’s management agreements were increased to 33%, the Cap would be increased to 32.5%. In addition, the Cap shall not apply in the event that a change in control or similar event, not caused by actions of the Holder or its Affiliates, occurs and results in repurchase obligations, defaults or acceleration with respect to all credit agreements, indentures or other indebtedness containing such a provision of Parent and/or the Company that contain such change in control covenants that are not otherwise waived (and without regard to consequences under management agreements). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend the Cap to prohibit Holder’s purchases of Common Stock from triggering change in control covenants with respect to Parent and the Company’s indebtedness and management agreements unless such covenants are already triggered and not waived as a result of Common Stock purchases by other parties.

Section 3. Due Authorization; Reservation of Shares. (a) The Company represents and warrants that this Warrant has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company and entitles the Holder hereof or its assignees to purchase Warrant Shares upon payment to the Company of the Exercise Price applicable to such shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery by the Company, upon exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock of the Company from time to time issuable or deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares have been duly authorized and, if newly-issued, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights.

(b) The Company represents and warrants that the execution and delivery by it of this Warrant does not require any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any federal, New York or Delaware governmental body, agency or official and does not contravene or constitute a default under or violation of (i) any provision of federal, New York or Delaware law or regulation, (ii) the charter or by-laws of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any agreement to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or (iv) any judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except in the case of clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) any defaults or violations that individually or in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof (including a cashless exercise), the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock.

Section 5. Exchange, Transfer and Assignment. This Warrant is exchangeable, at any time and from time to time, without expense, at the option of the Holder, upon presentation and surrender hereof to the Company for other Warrants of different denominations, entitling the Holder or Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate the same number of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 10 hereof, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to assign or transfer its interest in this Warrant (including the associated registration rights) in whole or in part to any person or persons. Upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name in such instrument of assignment or transfer and, if the Holder’s entire interest is not being assigned or transferred, in the name of the Holder, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants that carry the same rights upon presentation hereof at the office of the Company, together with a written notice

specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued and signed by the Holder hereof. The term “Warrant” as used herein includes any Warrants into which this Warrant may be divided or for which it may be exchanged.

Section 6. Rights of the Holder. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise of the Warrant, or after the exercise of the Warrant with respect to any unexercised Warrant Shares, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant.

Section 7. Anti-Dilution Provisions. The number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon the exercise hereof shall be subject to change or adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a) Stock Dividends, Splits, Combinations, Subdivision, Consolidation Reclassifications, etc. If the Company at any time (i) shall declare a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock payable in shares in its share capital (whether shares of Common Stock or of shares of any other class), (ii) shall subdivide shares of its Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) shall combine or have combined or effect a consolidation of its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) shall issue by reclassification of its Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing company), other securities of the Company, the number of shares the Holder shall be entitled to purchase upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted to include the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock of the Company which, if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such event, such Holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination, consolidation or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(b) Distribution of Evidences of Indebtedness or Assets. If the Company at any time shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution or dividend to all holders of its Common Stock (including any such distribution to be made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is to be the continuing company) of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding dividends paid in or distributions of Company share capital for which the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall have been adjusted pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 7 or regular cash dividends or distributions payable out of earnings or surplus and made in the ordinary course of business) the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, of which the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the assets or

evidences of indebtedness to be distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock, and the numerator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after such record date. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such distribution is not so made, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall again be adjusted to be the number that was in effect immediately prior to such record date.

(c) Determination of Market Price. For the purpose of any computation under Section 4 or subsection (b) of this Section 7, the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on any record date shall be the average of the current market value, determined as set forth below, of Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Business Days prior to the date in question.

(i) If the Common Stock is listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, including if the Common Stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, the current market value shall be the Volume Weighted Average Price of Common Stock (appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence during such period of stock splits and similar events); or

(ii) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the current market value shall be the mean of the last bid and asked prices reported on such Business Day (x) by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System or (y) if reports are unavailable under clause (x) above by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated; or

(iii) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current market value shall be such value as agreed upon by the Company and the Holder or, if the Company and the Holder cannot otherwise agree, the current market value shall be determined by an independent nationally recognized investment banking firm experienced in valuing businesses (an “Appraiser”) jointly chosen by the Holder and the Company or, if the Holder and the Company cannot agree on the selection of an Appraiser within 10 Business Days, then each of the Company and the Holder shall choose an Appraiser within 10 Business Days of the end of such first 10-day period, and the current market value shall be the value agreed upon by such Appraisers or, if the two Appraisers cannot so agree, the value of a third Appraiser, which third Appraiser shall be chosen by the two Appraisers. All expenses of the Appraiser(s) shall be paid by the Company.

(d) Shares Other Than Common Stock. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 7, the Holder shall become entitled to receive any shares in the share capital of the Company other than Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Stock contained in this Section 7, and the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.

(e) Notice of Certain Actions. In the event that at any time:

(A) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of its Common Stock of evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other than dividends paid in or distributions of the Company, share capital for which the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall have been adjusted pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 7 or regular cash dividends or distributions payable out of earnings or surplus and made in the ordinary course of business); or

(B) the Company shall authorize any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, consolidation or combination of the outstanding Common Stock and other than a change in par value of the Common Stock) or of any consolidation, amalgamation or merger to which the Company is a party, or of the conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety; or

(D) the Company or any subsidiary shall commence a tender offer for all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (or shall amend any such tender offer to change the maximum number of shares being sought or the amount or type of consideration being offered therefor); or

(E) the Company shall propose to take any other action that would require an adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder pursuant to this Section 7;

then the Company shall or shall cause to be mailed by certified mail to the Holder, at least 15 days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice describing such issuance, distribution, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or other action and stating (i) the date as of which it is expected that the holders of Common Stock of record entitled to receive any such issuances or distributions are to be determined or (ii) the date on which any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange or convert their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

(f) Deferral in Certain Circumstances. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 7 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date of an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the Warrant Shares and other shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event and issuing to such holder only the shares of capital stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustments, and (ii) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares of capital stock pursuant to Section 4 above; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument or due bills evidencing such holder’s right to receive such Additional Shares and such cash or other property.

(g) Other Anti-Dilution Provisions. If the Company has issued or issues any securities containing provisions protecting the holder or holders thereof against dilution in any manner more favorable to such holder or holders thereof than those set forth in this Section 7, such provisions (or any more favorable portion thereof) shall be deemed to be incorporated herein as if fully set forth in this Warrant and, to the extent inconsistent with any provision of this Warrant, shall be deemed to be substituted therefor.

(h) Common Stock Defined. Whenever reference is made in this Section 7 to the issue of shares of Common Stock, the term “Common Stock” shall include any equity securities of any class of the Company hereinafter authorized which shall not be limited to a fixed or determinable amount in respect of the right of the holders thereof to participate in dividends or distributions of assets upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. However, subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof, shares issuable upon exercise hereof shall include only Warrant Shares as of the date hereof or shares of any class or classes resulting from any reclassification or reclassifications thereof or as a result of any corporate reorganization as provided for in Section 9 hereof.

(i) No Exercise Price Below Par Value. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant this Section 7 that would result in the Exercise Price falling below the then par value (if any) of the Warrant Shares, the Company will take any commercially reasonable corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel (which may be counsel employed by the Company), be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted. Following any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 7, the amount payable, when adjusted and together with any consideration allocated to the issuance of the Warrants, shall never be less than the par value per Warrant Share at the time of such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. In the event that the foregoing requires an adjustment to the Exercise Price and an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares is not required hereby, the Company will make an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant so that the Holder is treated equitably and does not lose any of the economic benefit of this Warrant.

Section 8. Officers’ Certificate. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted as required by the provisions of Section 7, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office an officers’ certificate showing the adjusted number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder determined as herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officers’ certificate shall be signed by the chairman, president or chief financial officer of the Company and by the secretary or any assistant secretary of the Company. Each such officers’ certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder or any holder of a Warrant executed and delivered pursuant to Section 5 hereof and the Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, mail a copy, by certified mail, of such certificate to the Holder or any such holder.

Section 9. Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case of any Reorganization Transaction (as hereinafter defined), this Warrant shall become immediately exercisable for the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such Reorganization Transaction which the Holder of this Warrant would have owned immediately after the Reorganization Transaction if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Reorganization Transaction and the calculation of the aggregate amount of such shares and other securities and property shall be made without giving effect to any limitation on exercise of the Warrant set forth herein (including without limitation in Section 2(b)). The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Transactions. For purposes of this Section 9, “Reorganization Transaction” shall mean (excluding any transaction covered by Section 7) any reclassification or capital reorganization of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock or a change in the par value of the Common Stock) or any consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with a subsidiary in which merger the Company is the continuing company and that does not

result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with such merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or any sale, lease, transfer or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Section 10. Transfer Restrictions. The Holder by its acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrants and any Warrant Shares for its own account and not with a present intent to sell or distribute the Warrants or any Warrant Shares in violation of the United States and state securities laws. Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest in either, may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, except in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities laws.

Section 11. No Impairment; Regulatory Compliance and Cooperation. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its charter documents or through any reorganization, reclassification, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other similar voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

Section 12. Listing on Securities Exchanges. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to list on each national securities exchange or other trading venue (including the OTC Bulletin Board) on which any Common Stock may at any time be listed or traded, subject to official notice of issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, and shall use its best efforts to maintain such listing, so long as any other shares of its Common Stock shall be so listed or traded, all shares of Common Stock from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall use its best efforts to so list on each national securities exchange or other trading venue, and shall use best efforts to maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of capital stock of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or other trading venue by the Company. Any such listing shall be at the Company’s expense.

any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party at its principal office shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 15. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company from any Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (it being understood that the written indemnification agreement of or affidavit of loss of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx PCG, Inc. or any of its affiliates shall be a sufficient indemnity) and, in case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to such Holder; provided, however, that, in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

Section 16. Designated Office. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency, which shall initially be the principal executive offices of the Company at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxx 00000 (the “Designated Office”), where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant. The Company may from time to time change the Designated Office to another office of the Company or its agent within the United States by notice given to all registered Holders at least 10 Business Days prior to the effective date of such change.

Section 17. Availability of Information. (a) The Company shall comply with the reporting requirements of Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act to the extent it is required to do so under the Exchange Act. The Company shall also cooperate with each Holder of any Warrants and holder of any Warrant Shares in supplying such information as may be reasonably necessary for such holder to complete and file any information reporting forms currently or hereafter required by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any Warrants or Warrant Shares. The provisions of this Section 15 shall survive termination of this Warrant, whether upon exercise of this Warrant in full or otherwise.

(b) If at any time the Company is not subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, Company will promptly furnish at its expense, upon request, for the benefit of Holders from time to time of Warrants and holders from time to time of Warrant Shares, to Holders of Warrants, holders of Warrant Shares and prospective purchasers of Warrants and Warrant Shares information satisfying the requirements of subsection (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
