ARTICLE IV.

TERMS AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

Section 4.1 Exercise Price. On the Issue Date, each Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of Warrant Shares specified in such Warrant, at the price per whole share equal to (a) an amount equal to $66,412,373.40 plus interest accruing on such from and after the Effective Date at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded annually, divided by (b) 664,122 (as the same may be hereafter adjusted pursuant to Article V, the “Exercise Price”).

Section 4.2 Duration of Warrants. Warrants may be exercised by the Registered Holder thereof at any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the Issue Date and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Any Warrant not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, shall become permanently and irrevocably null and void at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at such time.

Section 4.3 Method of Exercise.

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Warrants and this Agreement, the Registered Holder of a Warrant may exercise such Registered Holder’s right to purchase the Warrant Shares, in whole or in part, by (i) providing an exercise form for the election to exercise such Warrant (“Exercise Form”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, properly completed and executed by the Registered Holder thereof, together with payment to the Warrant Agent of the Exercise Amount in accordance with Section 4.5(a); and (ii) delivering to the Warrant Agent a properly completed and executed Joinder Agreement.

(b) Any exercise of a Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a binding agreement between the Registered Holder and the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(i) examine all Exercise Forms and all other documents delivered to it by or on behalf of Registered Holders as contemplated hereunder to ascertain whether or not, on

their face, such Exercise Forms and any such other documents have been executed and completed in accordance with their terms and the terms hereof;

(ii) where an Exercise Form or other document appears on its face to have been improperly completed or executed or some other irregularity in connection with the exercise of the Warrants exists, endeavor to inform the appropriate parties (including the person submitting such instrument) of the need for fulfillment of all requirements, specifying those requirements which appear to be unfulfilled;

(iii) inform the Company of and cooperate with and assist the Company in resolving any reconciliation problems between Exercise Forms received and the delivery of Warrants to the Warrant Agent’s account; and

(iv) advise the Company no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Exercise Form, of (A) the receipt of such Exercise Form and the number of Warrants exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (B) the instructions with respect to delivery of the Warrant Shares deliverable upon such exercise, and (C) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require.

(d) The Company reserves the right to reasonably reject any and all Exercise Forms not in proper form or for which any corresponding agreement by the Company to exchange would, in the opinion of the Company, be unlawful. Such determination by the Company shall be final and binding on the Registered Holders of the Warrants, absent manifest error. Moreover, the Company reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to the exercise of Warrants or defects in Exercise Forms with regard to any particular exercise of Warrants. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be under any duty to give notice to the Registered Holders of the Warrants of any irregularities in any exercise of Warrants, nor shall it incur any liability for the failure to give such notice.

Section 4.4 Issuance of Warrant Shares. Upon exercise of any Warrants pursuant to Section 4.3 and clearance of the funds in payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly at its expense, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, cause to be issued to the Registered Holder of such Warrants the total number of whole Warrant Shares for which such Warrants are being exercised (as the same may be hereafter adjusted pursuant to Article V) in such denominations as are requested by the Registered Holder as set forth below, through a book-entry interest in the Warrant Shares registered on the books of the Company’s transfer agent.

Section 4.5 Exercise of Warrant. Warrants shall be exercised by the Registered Holders thereof by delivery of payment to the Warrant Agent, for the account of the Company, by certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company), in lawful money of the United States of America, of the full Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form (which shall be equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which any Warrants are being exercised) and any and all applicable taxes and governmental charges due in connection with the exercise of Warrants and the exchange of Warrants for Warrant Shares (the “Exercise Amount”).

Section 4.6 Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of Warrants such number of Warrant Shares as may be from time to time issuable upon exercise in full of the Warrants. All Warrant Shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, and the

Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue all Warrant Shares in compliance with this sentence. If at any time prior to the Expiration Date the number and kind of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s capital stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise in full of the Warrants, the Company will promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company agrees that its issuance of Warrants shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the issuance of Warrant Shares to issue shares of New Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the stated or par value per share, if any, of the New Common Stock above the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such increase in stated or par value.

Section 4.7 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of its capital stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants, and in any case where the Registered Holder would, except for the provisions of this Section 4.7, be entitled under the terms of Warrants to receive a fraction of a share upon the exercise of such Warrants, the Company shall, upon the exercise of such Registered Holder’s Warrants, issue or cause to be issued only the largest whole number of Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise (and such fraction of a share will be disregarded); provided, that if more than one Warrant is presented for exercise at the same time by the same Registered Holder, the number of whole Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of all such Warrants.

ARTICLE V.

ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES OF NEW COMMON STOCK
PURCHASABLE AND OF EXERCISE PRICE

The Exercise Price and the number and kind of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as provided in this Article V.

Section 5.1 Mechanical Adjustments.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.7, if at any time prior to the exercise in full of the Warrants, the Company shall:

(i) Subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize its outstanding New Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(ii) Combine, reclassify or recapitalize its outstanding New Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;

(iii) Merge, consolidate or otherwise combine with another person or entity as a result of which all holders of New Common Stock become entitled to receive capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) with respect to or in exchange for such New Common Stock;

(iv) Sell, convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any other person or entity as a result of which all holders of New Common Stock become entitled to receive capital stock, other securities or other

property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) with respect to or in exchange for such New Common Stock; or

(v) Issue by reclassification of New Common Stock any shares of its capital stock (any such occurrence identified in clauses (i) through (v) above, an “Adjustment Transaction”);

then the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants and/or the type and amount of other securities, property or assets and/or the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date of such Adjustment Transaction shall be adjusted so that the Registered Holders shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares or other property which, if their Warrants had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Adjustment Transaction, the Registered Holders would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such Adjustment Transaction; provided, that, if the holders of New Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) receivable upon an Adjustment Transaction referred to in clause (iii) or (iv) above, then the kind and amount of capital stock, other securities or other property (including but not limited to cash and evidences of indebtedness) receivable in respect of each share of New Common Stock which would have otherwise been issuable upon exercise of Warrants immediately prior to such Adjustment Transaction will be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the holders of New Common Stock. Any adjustment required by this Section 5.1(a) shall be made successively immediately after the effective date of an Adjustment Transaction to allow the purchase of such aggregate number and kind of shares.

(b) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five cents ($.05) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph Section 5.1(b) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 5.1 shall be made to the nearest cent ($.01) or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.1 to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be reduced to less than the then existing par value of the New Common Stock as a result of any adjustment made hereunder.

Section 5.2 Notices of Adjustment. Whenever the number and/or kind of Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall (a) prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, forthwith to the Warrant Agent a statement setting forth the adjusted number and/or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants and the Exercise Price of such shares after such adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which adjustment was made, and (b) cause the Warrant Agent to give written notice to each Registered Holder in the manner provided in Section 9.2 below, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

ARTICLE VI.

TRANSFER

Section 6.1 Transfer. The Warrants may not be sold, exchanged, or otherwise transferred in whole or in part except by operation of law or to Reorganized OpCo Corporation pursuant to the OpCo Plan.

Section 6.2 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing shares of New Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant and each certificate representing shares of New

Common Stock issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the form as follows:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY WHICH PLACES CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER AND VOTING OF THE SHARES. ANY PERSON TO WHOM SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN, ARE TRANSFERRED SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY SUCH AGREEMENT. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

ARTICLE VII.

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANTS

Section 7.1 No Rights or Liability as Stockholder; Notice to Registered Holders. Nothing contained in the Warrants shall be construed as conferring upon the Registered Holder or his, her or its transferees in its capacity as a holder of Warrants the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company. No provision thereof and no mere enumeration therein of the rights or privileges of the Registered Holder shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the Exercise Price hereunder or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. To the extent not covered by any statement delivered pursuant to Section 5.2, the Company shall give notice to Registered Holders by registered mail if at any time prior to the Expiration Date or exercise in full of the Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:

(a) the Company shall authorize the payment of any dividend payable in any securities upon shares of New Common Stock or authorize the making of any distribution (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend) to all holders of New Common Stock;

(b) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of New Common Stock of any additional shares of New Common Stock or of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase New Common Stock or of any other subscription rights, options or warrants;

(d) a Sale Transaction shall be proposed.

Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the Company’s stock transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed Sale Transaction or dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the stock transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such dividend,

distribution or subscription rights, or proposed Sale Transaction or dissolution, liquidation or winding up. For the avoidance of doubt, no such notice shall supersede or limit any adjustment called for by Section 5.1 by reason of any event as to which notice-is required by this Section.

Section 7.2 Cancellation of Warrants. If the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, such Warrants shall be cancelled by it and retired.

ARTICLE VIII.

CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT AND OTHER MATTERS

Section 8.1 Payment of Taxes. The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants, but any taxes or charges in connection with the issuance of Warrants or Warrant Shares in any name other than that of the Registered Holder of the Warrants shall be paid by such Registered Holder; and in any such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Warrants or Warrant Shares until such taxes or charges shall have been paid or it is established to the Company’s satisfaction that no tax or charge is due.

Section 8.2 Resignation, Consolidation or Merger of Warrant Agent.

(a) Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, and immunities, and agree in writing to be bound by all the duties and obligations, of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.

(b) Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall (i) give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent not later than the effective date of any such appointment, and (ii) cause written notice thereof to be delivered to each Registered Holder at such holder’s address appearing on the Warrant Register. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 8.2(b) or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

(c) Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement, without any further act or deed, if such person would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 8.2(a).

Section 8.3 Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.

Section 8.4 Liability of Warrant Agent.

(a) Reliance on Company Statement. 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 other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of its duties under this Agreement except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be responsible for any settlement made without its written consent. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Warrant Agent from liability for its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(c) Exclusions. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make any adjustments required under the provisions of Article V hereof or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any Warrant Shares will, when issued, be valid and fully paid and non-assessable.

Section 8.5 Acceptance of Agency. The Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth and, among other things, shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently account for and pay to the Company all moneys received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of Warrant Shares through the exercise of Warrants.
