SECTION 2. The Warrants.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company
hereby issues and delivers to the Warrantholder a warrant, substantially in the
form of Exhibit A hereto, to purchase 328,084 shares of fully paid and
nonassessable Common Stock at a price per share equal to $19.05 (the "Exercise
Price").
SECTION 3. Exercise.
(a) Method of Exercise. From time to time on or before the
Expiration Date, the Warrantholder, in accordance with the terms hereof, may
exercise the Warrant, in whole or in part. The Warrantholder shall effect any
such exercise by delivering the Warrant to the Company during normal business
hours on any Business Day at the Company's Principal Office, together with the
Election to Purchase, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the
"Election to Purchase"), duly executed, and payment, in accordance with Section
3(b), of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares (the "Exercise
Amount") to be so purchased, as specified in the Election to Purchase. If the
Expiration Date is not a Business Day, then the Warrant may be exercised on the
next succeeding Business Day.
(b) Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise
Price (as defined below) shall be made to the Company in cash or other
immediately available funds or as provided in Sections 3(c) or 3(d), or a
combination thereof, with respect to any exercise of the Warrant. In the case of
payment of all or a portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to Sections
3(c) or 3(d), the direction by the Warrantholder to make a Cashless Exercise or
Note Exercise, respectively, shall serve as accompanying payment for such
portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price. The amount to be paid (the "Aggregate
Exercise Price") shall equal the product of (a) the Exercise Amount multiplied
by (b) the Exercise Price.
(c) Cashless Exercise. The Warrantholder shall have the right,
but no obligation, to pay all or a portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price by
making a cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 3(c) (a "Cashless
Exercise"), in which case the portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price to be so
paid shall be deemed paid in full by the reduction of the number of Warrant
Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the Election to Purchase by that number of
Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value of the
Warrant at the time of exercise (determined by subtracting (a) the Aggregate
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to exercise from (b) the aggregate
Market Price immediately prior to exercise) by (y) the Market Price immediately
prior to exercise.
(d) Note Exercise. The Warrantholder shall have the right, but
no obligation, to pay all or a portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price by making
a note exercise pursuant to this Section 3(d) (a "Note Exercise"), in which case
the portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price to be so paid shall be deemed paid
in full by reducing the
6
principal amount due under the Note by an amount equal to the portion of the
Aggregate Exercise Price to be so paid.
(e) Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Upon receipt by the
Company of the Warrant at its Principal Office in proper form for exercise, and
accompanied by payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price as aforesaid and, in the
case of any payment pursuant to Section 3(d) above, accompanied by reasonably
satisfactory evidence of such reduced principal amount due under the Note, the
Warrantholder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock may not then be actually delivered.
Upon surrender of the Warrant and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price as
aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable
dispatch to, or upon the written order of, the Warrantholder (and in such name
or names as the Warrantholder may designate) a certificate or certificates for
the Exercise Amount, subject to any reduction as provided in Section 3(c) for a
Cashless Exercise.
(f) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to
deliver fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant. If any
fraction of a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon exercise of the
Warrant, the Company may, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of
Common Stock, make a cash payment to the Warrantholder in an amount equal to the
same fraction of the Market Price determined as of the Business Day immediately
preceding the date of exercise of the Warrant.
(g) Partial Exercise. In the event of a partial exercise of the
Warrant, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a Warrant in like form for
the unexercised portion thereof.
SECTION 4. Payment of Taxes.
The Company shall pay all stamp taxes attributable to the initial
issuance of shares or other securities issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant
or issuable pursuant to Section 7 hereof, excluding any tax or taxes which may
be payable because of the transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any
certificates for shares of Common Stock or other securities in a name other than
that of the Warrantholder in respect of which such shares or securities are
issued.
SECTION 5. Replacement Warrant.
If the Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Warrant
lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an
equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or
7
destruction of such Warrant and upon receipt of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.
SECTION 6. Reservation of Common Stock and Other Covenants.
(a) Reservation of Authorized Common Stock. The Company shall at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but
unissued shares, free of preemptive rights, such number of its duly authorized
shares of Common Stock, or other stock or securities deliverable pursuant to
Section 7 hereof, as shall be sufficient to enable the Company at any time to
fulfill all of its obligations under this Agreement and the Warrant.
(b) Affirmative Actions to Permit Exercise and Realization of
Benefits. If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved for the
purpose of exercise of the Warrant, or any shares or other securities reserved
or to be reserved for the purpose of issuance pursuant to Section 7 hereof,
require registration with or approval (other than as a result of a Regulatory
Requirement contemplated by Section 6(c)) of any governmental authority under
any federal or state law (including approvals or expirations of waiting periods
required under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act, but excluding
the Securities Act and any state securities or "blue sky" laws) before such
shares or other securities may be validly delivered upon exercise of the
Warrant, then the Company and the Warrantholder shall cooperate with each other
so that each may prepare and file notification and report forms in compliance
with such law and shall otherwise fully comply with the requirements of such
law, to the extent required in connection with the exercise of the Warrant. The
Company shall bear all expenses in connection with the filing of such forms.
(c) Regulatory Requirements and Restrictions. In the event of
any reasonable determination by the Warrantholder that, by reason of any
existing or future federal or state law, statute, rule, regulation, guideline,
order, court or administrative ruling, request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be
unlawful) (a "Regulatory Requirement"), the Warrantholder is effectively
restricted or prohibited from holding the Warrant or the related Warrant Shares
(including any shares of capital stock or other securities distributable to the
Warrantholder in any merger, reorganization, readjustment or other
reclassification), or otherwise realize upon or receive the benefits intended
under the Warrant, the Company shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to have its stockholders, take such action as the Warrantholder may deem
reasonably necessary to permit the Warrantholder to comply with such Regulatory
Requirement. The costs of taking such action shall be shared equally by the
Company and the Warrantholder. Such action to be taken may include the Company's
authorization of one or more new classes of capital stock for which the Warrant
may be exercised or the adoption of such modifications and amendments to the
Charter Documents, this Agreement, the Warrant or any other documents and
instruments related to or executed in connection herewith or with the Warrant as
may be deemed reasonably necessary by the Warrantholder. The Warrantholder shall
give written notice to the Company of any such determination and the
8
action or actions necessary to comply with such Regulatory Requirement, which
notice and determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the
Company shall take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to comply with
such determination as expeditiously as possible.
(d) Validly Issued Shares. The Company covenants that all shares
of Common Stock or other securities that may be delivered upon exercise of the
Warrant (including those issued pursuant to Section 7 hereof) shall, upon
delivery by the Company, be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue
or delivery thereof and otherwise free of all other security interests,
encumbrances and claims of any nature whatsoever.
SECTION 7. Antidilution Provisions. Prior to the Expiration Date or
until the Warrant is fully exercised, the Exercise Price and the number of
Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in
this Section 7. In the event that any adjustment of the Exercise Price as
required herein results in a fraction of a cent, such Exercise Price shall be
rounded up or down to the nearest cent.
(a) Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon
Issuance of Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c) and 7(e)
hereof, if and whenever after the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company
issues or sells, or in accordance with Section 7(b) hereof is deemed to have
issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Market Price on the date of issuance (a
"Dilutive Issuance"), then effective immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the
Exercise Price will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:
E' = (E) (O + P/M) / (CSDO)
where:
E' = the adjusted Exercise Price;
E = the then current Exercise Price;
M = the then current Market Price;
O = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to the Dilutive Issuance;
P = the aggregate consideration, calculated as set forth in
Section 7(b) hereof, received by the Company upon such Dilutive
Issuance; and
CSDO = the total number of shares of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding
immediately after the Dilutive Issuance.
(b) Effect on Exercise Price of Certain Events. For purposes of
determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 7(a) hereof, the following
will be applicable:
(i) Issuance of Rights or Options. If the Company in any
manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options, whether or not
9
immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or
other securities exercisable, convertible into or exchangeable for Common
Stock ("Convertible Securities"), but not to include the grant or exercise
of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted or exercised under
any employee or director benefit plan of the Company now existing or to be
implemented in the future, so long as the issuance of such stock or
options is approved by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board
of Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee
directors established for such purpose (such warrants, rights and options
to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter
referred to as "Options"), and the price per share for which Common Stock
is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Market
Price on the date of issuance ("Below Market Options"), then the maximum
total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all
such Below Market Options (assuming full exercise, conversion or exchange
of Convertible Securities, if applicable) will, as of the date of the
issuance or grant of such Below Market Options, be deemed to be
outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price
per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the price per share for
which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market
Options is determined by dividing (A) the total amount, if any, received
or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting
of such Below Market Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of
additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise
of all such Below Market Options, plus, in the case of Convertible
Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Below Market Options, the
minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible
Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by (B)
the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of all such Below Market Options (assuming full conversion of
Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the
Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock
upon the exercise of such Below Market Options or upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of
such Below Market Options.
(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities.
(A) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other
than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and
the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such
exercise, conversion or exchange (as determined pursuant to Section
7(b)(ii)(B) if applicable) is less than the Market Price on the date
of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such
Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such
Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been
issued and sold by the Company for such
10
price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the
price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such
exercise, conversion or exchange is determined by dividing (I) the
total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as
consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible
Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible
Securities first become exercisable, convertible or exchangeable, by
(II) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise, conversion or exchange of all such Convertible
Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made
upon the actual issuances of such Common Stock upon exercise,
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(B) If the Company in any manner issues or sells any
Convertible Securities with a fluctuating conversion or exercise
price or exchange ratio (a "Variable Rate Convertible Security"),
then the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such
exercise, conversion or exchange for purposes of the calculation
contemplated by Section 7(b)(ii)(A) shall be deemed to be the lowest
price per share which would be applicable assuming that (I) all
holding period and other conditions to any discounts contained in
such Convertible Security have been satisfied, and (II) the Market
Price on the date of issuance of such Convertible Security was 80% of
the Market Price on such date (the "Assumed Variable Market Price").
(iii) Change in Option Price or Conversion Rate. Except for the
grant or exercise of any stock or options which may hereafter be granted
or exercised under any employee or director benefit plan of the Company
now existing or to be implemented in the future, so long as the issuance
of such stock or options is approved by a majority of the non-employee
members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the
members of a committee of non- employee directors established for such
purpose, if there is a change at any time in (A) the amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options; (B)
the amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company
upon the exercise, conversion or exchange or any Convertible Securities;
or (C) the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock (other than under or by reason of
provisions designed to protect against dilution), the Exercise Price in
effect at the time of such change will be readjusted to the Exercise Price
which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or
Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed
additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be,
at the time initially granted, issued or sold.
(iv) Treatment of Expired Options and Unexercised Convertible
Securities. If, in any case, the total number of shares of Common Stock
issuable
11
upon exercise of any Options or upon exercise, conversion or exchange of
any Convertible Securities is not, in fact, issued and the rights to
exercise such option or to exercise, convert or exchange such Convertible
Securities shall have expired or terminated, the Exercise Price then in
effect will be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in
effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Options or
Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to
such expiration or termination (other than in respect of the actual number
of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise or conversion thereof),
never been issued.
(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities are issued, granted or sold for cash,
the consideration received therefor for purposes of this Warrant will be
the amount received by the Company therefor, before deduction of
reasonable commissions, underwriting discounts or allowances or other
reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection with
such issuance, grant or sale. In case any Common Stock, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration part or all
of which shall be other than cash, the amount of the consideration other
than cash received by the Company will be the fair market value of such
consideration except where such consideration consists of freely-
tradeable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received
by the Company will be the Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt.
The fair market value of any consideration other than cash or securities
will be determined in the good faith reasonable business judgment of the
Board of Directors.
(vi) Exceptions to Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment
to the Exercise Price will be made (i) upon the exercise of any warrants,
options or convertible securities issued and outstanding on the date
hereof in accordance with the terms of such securities as of such date;
(ii) upon the grant or exercise of any stock or options which may
hereafter be granted or exercised under any employee or director benefit
plan of the Company now existing or to be implemented in the future, so
long as the issuance of such stock or options is approved by a majority of
the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of the
members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such
purpose; or (iii) upon the exercise of the Warrants.
(c) Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company,
at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, subdivides (by any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, then,
after the date of record for effecting such subdivision, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If
the Company, at any time after the initial issuance of this Warrant, combines
(by reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or
otherwise) its shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then,
after the date of record for effecting such combination, the Exercise Price in
effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
12
(d) Adjustment in Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment of the
Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted
by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the
product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price.
(e) Major Transactions. If the Company shall consolidate or
merge with any other corporation or entity (other than a merger in which the
Company is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock is unchanged
and unissued in such transaction (except for Common Stock constituting less than
twenty percent (20%) of the Company's Common Stock then outstanding)) or any
subsidiary of the Company shall be a party to a merger or consolidation or other
extraordinary transaction and the Company issues twenty percent (20%) or more of
its Common Stock in any such merger, consolidation or other transaction or there
shall occur any share exchange pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock are converted into other securities or property or any
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (each of
the foregoing being a "Major Transaction"), then the Warrantholder may
thereafter, at its option, be entitled, at its election, either to (a) in the
event that the Common Stock remains outstanding or holders of Common Stock
receive any common stock or substantially similar equity interest, in each of
the foregoing cases which is publicly traded, retain its Warrant and the Warrant
shall continue to apply to such Common Stock or shall apply, as nearly as
practicable, to such other common stock or equity interest, as the case may be,
or (b) regardless of whether (a) applies, receive consideration, in exchange for
the Warrant, equal to the greater of, as determined in the sole discretion of
the Warrantholder, (i) the number of shares of stock or securities or property
of the Company, or of the entity resulting from such Major Transaction (the
"Major Transaction Consideration"), to which a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock delivered upon the exercise of the Warrant would have been entitled
upon such Major Transaction had the Warrantholder exercised the Warrant (without
regard to any limitations on conversion or elsewhere contained) on the trading
date immediately preceding the public announcement of the transaction resulting
in such Major Transaction and had such Common Stock been issued and outstanding
and had the Warrantholder been the holder of record of such Common Stock at the
time of the consummation of such Major Transaction, and (ii) cash paid by the
Company in immediately available funds, in an amount equal to one hundred and
twenty-five percent (125%) of the Black-Scholes Amount times the number of
shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable (without regard to
any limitations on exercise herein contained); and the Company shall make lawful
provision for the foregoing as a part of such Major Transaction. No sooner than
ten Business Days nor later than five Business Days prior to the consummation of
the Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major
Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice ("Notice of Major
Transaction") to the Warrantholder, which Notice of Major Transaction shall be
deemed to have been delivered one Business Day after the Company's sending such
notice by telecopy (provided that the Company sends a confirming copy of such
notice on the same
13
day by overnight courier) of such Notice of Major Transaction. Such Notice of
Major Transaction shall indicate the amount and type of the Major Transaction
Consideration which the Warrantholder would receive under this Section. If the
Major Transaction Consideration does not consist entirely of United States
currency, such holder may elect to receive United States currency in an amount
equal to the value of the Major Transaction Consideration in lieu of the Major
Transaction Consideration by delivering notice of such election to the Company
within five Business Days of such holder's receipt of the Notice of Major
Transaction.
(f) Effect of Merger. (i) If, pursuant to clause (a) of Section
7(e), the Warrantholder elects to retain the Warrant with the Warrant continuing
to apply to the Common Stock or applying, as nearly as practicable, to other
common stock or equity interest received by the stockholders of the Company in
connection with the Merger, then (A) Section 7(b)(vi) shall be amended to
include the following clause (iv): "(iv) upon the issuance of Common Stock or
other Capital Stock of the Company as consideration in an acquisition of or from
a third party or in connection with a merger with a third party; provided that,
with respect to clause (iv), such third party is not a controlled Affiliate of
the Company or such transaction (A) has been approved by a special committee of
the Board of Directors comprised solely of independent directors and such
special committee has recommended that the stockholders of the Company vote in
favor thereof and (B) the Company has received from a nationally recognized
investment banking firm a written opinion addressed to such special committee,
for inclusion in the proxy statement to be delivered to the stockholders,
substantially to the effect that such transaction is fair to the Company or to
the Company's stockholders (other than any Significant Stockholder) from a
financial point of view" and (B) Section 7(e) shall be amended to delete clause
(b)(ii) thereof.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if the Warrantholder elects, pursuant to clause (a) of Section 7(e), to retain
the Warrant following the Merger, then the Warrant shall automatically be
amended to become exercisable for a number of shares of Class B Common Stock,
par value $0.01 per share, of Newco equal to the number of shares of Common
Stock for which the Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Merger.
(g) Distribution of Assets. In case the Company shall declare or
make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders
of Common Stock as a partial liquidating dividend, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Company's
shareholders of cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of
a subsidiary) (a "Distribution"), at any time after the initial issuance of this
Warrant, then the Warrantholder shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant
for the purchase of any or all of the shares of Common Stock subject hereto, to
receive the amount of such assets (or rights) which would have been payable to
the Warrantholder had the Warrantholder been the holder of such shares of Common
Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such
Distribution.
14
(h) Notices of Adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any event
which requires any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then, and in each such
case, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Warrantholder, which notice
shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase
or decrease in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon
exercise, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the
facts upon which such calculation is based. Such calculation shall be certified
by the chief financial officer of the Company.
(i) Minimum Adjustment of Exercise Price. No adjustment of the
Exercise Price shall be made in an amount of less than 1% of the Exercise Price
in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise required to be made, but any
such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time
and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to not less than 1% of such
Exercise Price.
(j) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock
are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but the Company shall pay a
cash adjustment in respect of any fractional share which would otherwise be
issuable in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of a share
of Common Stock; provided that in the event that sufficient funds are not
legally available for the payment of such cash adjustment any fractional shares
of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the next whole number.
(k) Other Notices. In case at any time:
(i) the Company shall declare any dividend upon the Common Stock
payable in shares of stock of any class or make any other distribution to
the holders of the Common Stock;
(ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the
holders of the Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or
other rights;
(iii) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company,
or reclassification of the Common Stock, or consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets
to, another corporation or entity; or
(iv) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, in each such case, the Company shall give to the Warrantholder (a) notice
of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be
taken for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive any such
dividend, distribution, or subscription rights or for determining the holders of
Common Stock entitled to vote in respect of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation,
15
merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (b) in the case of any
such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, notice of the date (or, if not then known, a
reasonable approximation thereof by the Company) when the same shall take place.
Such notice shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights
or to exchange their Common Stock for stock or other securities or property
deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up, as the case may be. Such notice
shall be given at least 30 days prior to the record date or the date on which
the Company's books are closed in respect thereto, but in no event earlier than
public announcement of such proposed transaction or event. Failure to give any
such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
SECTION 8. No Dilution or Impairment.
The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter Documents or
through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, share exchange, dissolution or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek
to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrant,
including the adjustments required under Section 7 hereof, and will at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the
Warrantholder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of the
Warrant to the contrary (including by way of implication), the Company (a) will
not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the
exercise of the Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and
(b) will take all such corporate action as may be necessary or appropriate so
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock on the exercise of the Warrant.
SECTION 9. Transfers of the Warrant.
(a) Transfer and Exchanges. The Company shall initially record
the Warrant on a register to be maintained by the Company with its other stock
books and, subject to Section 9(b) hereof, from time to time thereafter shall
record a transfer of the Warrant on such register when the Warrant is: (i)
surrendered for transfer in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) properly
endorsed and accompanied by appropriate instructions, and (iii) accompanied by
payment in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of
the Company, in United States currency, of an amount equal to any stamp or other
tax or governmental charge or fee required to be paid in connection with the
transfer thereof. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant or Warrants shall be
issued to the transferee and the Warrantholder (in the event that the Warrant is
only partially transferred) and the surrendered Warrant shall be canceled. Each
such transferee shall succeed to all of the rights of the transferring
Warrantholder under this Agreement or in the event that the Warrant is only
partially transferred, the transferring Warrantholder and such transferee shall,
simultaneously, hold rights hereunder in proportion to their
16
respective percentage interests of the original Warrant. The Warrant may be
exchanged at the option of the Warrantholder, when surrendered at the Principal
Office of the Company, for another Warrant or other Warrants of like tenor and
representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of
Common Stock, subject to adjustment as more fully set forth herein.
(b) Transfers Subject to Securities Laws. Subject to the
restrictions set forth in this Section 9, the Warrantholder may at any time and
from time to time freely transfer the Warrant and the Warrant Shares in whole or
in part. The Warrant has not been, and the Warrant Shares at the time of their
issuance may not be, registered under the Securities Act, and nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to require the Company to so register the Warrant or
Warrant Shares. The Warrant and the Warrant Shares are issued or issuable
subject to the provisions and conditions contained herein and the Warrantholder
by accepting the Warrant agrees with the Company to such provisions and
conditions, and represents to the Company that the Warrant has been acquired and
the Warrant Shares will be acquired for the account of the Warrantholder for
investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
distribution thereof.
(c) Transfers to Non-Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
upon any transfer of this Warrant to a transferee that is not an Affiliate of
the Warrantholder, this Warrant shall automatically be amended to (i) provide
that such transferee shall not be entitled to pay the Aggregate Exercise Price
by a Note Exercise pursuant to Section 3(d), (ii) delete Section 7(f)(ii), if
the Warrant is exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Company at the time
of such transfer and (iii) become exercisable for shares of Class A Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Newco, if the Warrant has become
exercisable for shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of
Newco pursuant to Section 4(f)(ii).
SECTION 10. Registration Rights.
(a) Demand Registration Rights. In the event that the
Warrantholder shall desire to sell any of the Warrant Shares, and such sale
requires, in the opinion of counsel to the Warrantholder, which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, registration of such
Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, the Company will cooperate with the
Underwriter and any underwriters in registering such Warrant Shares for resale,
including promptly filing a registration statement which complies with the
requirements of applicable federal and state securities laws, and entering into
an underwriting agreement with such underwriters upon such terms and conditions
as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to
secondary distributions; provided that the Company shall not be required to have
declared effective more than two registration statements hereunder and shall be
entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement for
up to 90 days if the offering would, in the judgment of the Board of Directors
of the Company, require premature disclosure of any material corporate
development or material transaction involving the Company or interfere with any
previously planned securities offering by the Company.
17
(b) Maintenance of Registration Statement; Indemnification of
Warrantholder. If the Warrant Shares are registered pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 10, the Company agrees (i) to furnish copies of the registration
statement and the prospectus relating to the Warrant Shares covered thereby in
such numbers as the Warrantholder may from time to time reasonably request and
(ii) if any event shall occur as a result of which it becomes necessary to amend
or supplement any registration statement or prospectus, to prepare and file
under the applicable securities laws such amendments and supplements as may be
necessary to keep available for at least 90 days a prospectus covering the
Warrant Shares meeting the requirements of such securities laws, and to furnish
the Warrantholder such numbers of copies of the registration statement and
prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as may reasonably be requested. The
Company shall bear the cost of the registration, including all registration and
filing fees, printing expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel and
accountants for the Company, except that the Warrantholder shall pay the fees
and disbursements of its counsel, and the underwriting fees and selling
commissions applicable to the shares of Common Stock sold by the Warrantholder.
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless (x) the Warrantholder, its
affiliates and its officers and directors and each person who controls the
Warrantholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act and (y)
each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Underwriters")
((x) and (y) being referred to as "Indemnified Parties") against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, to which the Indemnified Parties may
become subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or
incorporated by reference in any registration statement or prospectus filed
pursuant to this paragraph, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission
from any such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Indemnified Parties expressly for
use or incorporation by reference therein.
(c) Indemnification of the Company. The Warrantholder and the
Underwriters shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates and
its officers and directors and each person who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, its affiliates and its
officers and directors may become subject, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) and expenses arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained or
incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed pursuant to this
paragraph, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance
18
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Warrantholder or the Underwriters, as applicable, specifically for use or
incorporation by reference therein.

to the Warrantholder upon any breach or default of the Company hereunder or
under the Warrant shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be
construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or any acquiescence
therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring, nor
shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other
breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit,
consent or approval of any kind or character on the Warrantholder's part of any
breach or default hereunder or under the Warrant, or any waiver on the
Warrantholder's part of any provisions or conditions hereof or of the Warrant
must be in writing and that all remedies, either hereunder, under the Warrant or
by law or otherwise afforded to the Warrantholder, shall be cumulative and not
alternative.

hereunder and under the Warrant shall pass to and inure to the benefit of all
subsequent transferees of all or any portion of the Warrant until extinguished
pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the Warrantholder and any transferee
shall hold such rights in proportion to their respective ownership of the
Warrant and Warrant Shares.
