ARTICLE II
Issuance and Exercise of Warrants
SECTION 2.01. Issuance of Warrants; Manner of Exercise; Vesting.a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby issues and delivers to each Initial Holder, a Warrant (each in the form of Exhibit A hereto) to purchase, at the Exercise Price, the Initial Number of Shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock as set forth on Schedule A hereto opposite such Initial Holder’s name.
(b) Subject to subsection (c) below, each Warrant may be exercised by the Holder thereof, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, for a number of shares of Common Stock not greater than the then-Applicable Number of Shares determined as of the date of exercise, by surrendering such Warrant, properly endorsed, at the principal executive office of the Company, together with the Election to Purchase Shares (the “Notice”) attached hereto as Exhibit B (or a reasonable facsimile thereof), duly completed and executed on behalf of such Holder. The exercise of any Warrant shall be on a cashless basis, and the Company shall issue to such Holder such number of shares of Common Stock as is computed using the following formula:
where:
X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder pursuant to this Section 2.01(b);
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Warrant in respect of which the exercise election is made pursuant to this Section 2.01(b);
A = the Market Price of one share of Common Stock; and
B = the Exercise Price in effect under such Warrant at the time such exercise is made pursuant to this Section 2.01(b).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) in the event that the Credit Agreement Discharge Date occurs, no further vesting of Initial Number of Shares with respect to any Warrant pursuant to subsection (ii) below shall occur thereafter and, if none of the Initial Number of Shares has vested prior thereto in accordance with subsection (ii) below, the Warrants shall be immediately and automatically canceled and shall have no further force and effect, (ii) (A) in the event that the Credit Agreement Discharge Date does not occur prior to the Effective Date, then, on and as of the Effective Date, 30% of the Initial Number of Shares with respect to each Warrant shall irrevocably vest, (B) in the event that the Credit Agreement Discharge Date does not occur prior to September 28, 2012, then, on and as of September 28, 2012, an additional 15% of the Initial Number of Shares with respect to each Warrant shall irrevocably vest and (C) in the event that the Credit Agreement Discharge Date does not occur prior to December 31, 2012, then, on and as of December 31, 2012, the entire remaining balance of the Initial Number of Shares with respect to each Warrant shall irrevocably vest, and (iii) for purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrant pursuant to Section 2.01, the Applicable Number of Shares shall be determined based only upon the Initial Number of Shares with respect to such Warrant that have vested in accordance with this Section 2.01(c).
6
SECTION 2.02. When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of a Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected as of the later to occur of (a) receipt of the Notice and (b) immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which such Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 2.01 (notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock may not be actually delivered on such date) and at such time of effectiveness the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 2.03 shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof for all purposes.
SECTION 2.03. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc.; Charges, Taxes and Expenses. b)Subject to Article XI hereof, as soon as practicable after each exercise of any Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within three Business Days thereafter, the Company shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder thereof or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, if any, a check for the amount of cash equal to the same fraction multiplied by the Market Price per share on the date of Warrant exercise.
(b) In case any such exercise is for less than all of the then-Applicable Number of Shares as of the date of exercise purchasable under any Warrant, the Company shall issue to the applicable Holder a new Warrant in like form for the unexercised portion thereof, which shall include the unexercised portion of the Initial Number of Shares that have vested as of the date of such exercise plus the Initial Number of Shares that have not yet vested as of such date but which shares may vest at a future date. Any such new Warrants shall be issued in such name or names as the Holder may designate and shall be delivered to such named Person or Persons within a reasonable time, not to exceed three Business Days after the date on which the applicable Warrant has been duly exercised in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The Company shall pay all taxes (other than Federal, state or local income taxes), including any documentary stamp taxes, which may be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance of the Warrants or the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant or in connection with any modification of this Agreement or the Warrants and shall hold each Holder harmless without limitation as to time against any and all liabilities with respect to all such taxes. The obligations of the Company under this Section 2.03(c) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and any cancellation or termination of the Warrants. On or prior to the 30th day following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Initial Holders an initial unaudited valuation of the Warrants as of the date of this Agreement, as determined by the Company, or to promptly provide such valuation as of a later date if the value of the Warrants as of the date of this Agreement is not reasonably ascertainable. Within 45 days after providing such initial valuation, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain verbal approval of such valuation, or modification thereto, by its auditors or an independent valuation consultant, which may be an accounting firm, and the Company shall promptly notify the Initial Holders of any such verbal approval or modification that it obtains. Once the Company has received final written confirmation of such valuation, or further modification thereto, by its auditors or such valuation consultant, the Company shall promptly send a copy of such final confirmation or modification to the Initial Holders. The Company further agrees not to take any position with regard to the value of the Warrants as of the date of this Agreement or as of such later date described above in this paragraph, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, that is inconsistent with the written confirmed final valuation provided to the Initial Holders pursuant to the preceding sentence. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the valuation described in this paragraph is solely for use in connection with U.S. Federal income tax matters.

ARTICLE III
Adjustments and Other Rights
SECTION 3.01. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Articles IV and V and this Article III; provided that any such adjustment shall be an adjustment with respect to both the Initial Number of Shares that have vested as of the date of such adjustment and the Initial Number of Shares that have not yet vested as of such date but which shares may vest at a future date; provided further that no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one Section of this Agreement so as to result in duplication.
SECTION 3.02. Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Distributions of Common Stock, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall (i) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (ii) pay a dividend or make any distribution to existing holders of the Common Stock, in each case in Common Stock or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant at the time of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, reclassification, dividend or distribution shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Warrant after such date had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date (or, in the case of a dividend or distribution of Common Stock, immediately prior to the record date therefor). In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, reclassification, dividend or distribution shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date for the subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of the applicable event, retroactive to the record date therefor in the case of a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock.
8
SECTION 3.03. Rights, Options or Warrants Issue. If the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days from the record date of such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately preceding the first public announcement of such distribution, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased by multiplying such number as of the time immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such distribution, plus (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such distribution, plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration to be received by the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such rights, options or warrants would purchase at the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the date immediately preceding the first public announcement of such distribution.
An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased to the number that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased to the number that would then be in effect if such record date for such distribution had not occurred.
9
In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately preceding the first public announcement of distribution of such rights, options or warrants, and in determining the aggregate consideration to be received by the Company in respect of such rights, options or warrants, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be the Fair Value thereof.
SECTION 3.04. Adjustments for Other Distributions. i)If the Company shall distribute shares of its capital stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other of its assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire its capital stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (excluding (i) dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 3.02 or Section 3.03, (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash and (iii) spin-offs to which provisions set forth below in clause (b) of this Section 3.04 shall apply), then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased by multiplying such number as of the time immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for such distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the date immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution and (ii) the denominator of which shall be (A) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the date immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution, less (B) the Fair Value of such shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property or rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Date for such distribution.
If the Fair Value of such shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property or rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Date for such distribution is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the date immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of such capital stock, evidences of the indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s capital stock or other securities that such Holder would have received if such Holder had exercised its Warrant for all of the then-Applicable Number of Shares (which number shall include, without limitation, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such Warrant that have not yet vested as of the date immediately prior to the record date for such distribution but may vest at a later date) as of such date.
10
An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased to the number that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.04(a), if the Company pays any dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, where such capital stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the Spin-Off (as defined hereinafter)) on a national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased by multiplying such number as of the time immediately prior to the close of business on the tenth trading day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date of the Spin-Off, by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the Fair Value of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the tenth trading day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off, plus (B) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the tenth trading day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off, and (ii) the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the tenth trading day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off.
The adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) shall become effective on the tenth trading day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off; provided that, for purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant, in respect of any exercise during the ten trading days immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for any Spin-Off, references in this Section 3.04(b) to ten trading days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of trading days as have elapsed between the Ex-Date for such Spin-Off and the relevant date that such exercise occurred.
SECTION 3.05. Adjustment for Cash Dividends. If the Company pays or makes any cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, other than a regular, quarterly cash dividend that does not exceed $0.025 per share (the “Initial Dividend Threshold”), then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be increased by multiplying such number as of the time immediately prior to the close of business on the record date of such dividend or distribution by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be (A) the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the trading day that immediately precedes the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, minus (B) the Initial Dividend Threshold (provided that if the dividend or distribution in question is not a regular, quarterly cash dividend, the Initial Dividend Threshold shall be deemed to be zero), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be (x) the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the trading day that immediately precedes the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, minus (y) the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of the Common Stock.
11
The Initial Dividend Threshold is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant; provided that no adjustment will be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant pursuant to this Section 3.05.
If the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the trading day that immediately precedes the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had exercised its Warrant for all of the then-Applicable Number of Shares (which number shall include, without limitation, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such Warrant that have not yet vested as of the date immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution but may vest at a later date) as of such date.
An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased to the number that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
SECTION 3.06. Adjustment for Tender Offer. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, if the cash and Fair Value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the tenth trading day after the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (such last date, the “Offer Expiration Date”), then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be increased by multiplying such number as of the time immediately prior to the close of business of the tenth trading day after the Offer Expiration Date by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the aggregate Fair Value of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer, plus (B) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Offer Expiration Date (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer) and the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the tenth trading day after the Offer Expiration Date, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Offer Expiration Date (pior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer) and (y) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the tenth trading day after the Offer Expiration Date.
12
An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the tenth trading day immediately following the Offer Expiration Date; provided that, for purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant, in respect of any exercise during the ten trading days following the Offer Expiration Date, references in this Section 3.06 to ten trading days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of trading days as have elapsed between the Offer Expiration Date and the relevant date that such exercise occurred. In the event that the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted again to be the number that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. If application of this Section 3.06 to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, then no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 3.06.
SECTION 3.07. Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock (and Other Securities) into which any Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal executive office of the Company or with its transfer agent a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the number of shares of Common Stock (and Other Securities) into which such Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage prepaid, to each applicable Holder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.
SECTION 3.08. De Minimis Adjustments; Rounding of Calculations. All adjustment calculations under this Agreement shall be made to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) into which the Warrants are exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.001 or one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.001 or one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, or more.
SECTION 3.09. Abandoned Dividend or Distribution. If after the date hereof the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution (which results in an adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the terms of this Agreement) and shall, thereafter, and before such dividend or distribution is paid or delivered to shareholders entitled thereto, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then any adjustment made to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by reason of the taking of such record shall be reversed, and any subsequent adjustments, based thereon, shall be recomputed.

SECTION 4.02. Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any of the transactions described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 4.01 unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each person (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any stock, securities, cash or property upon the exercise of any Warrant, as provided herein, shall assume, by written instrument delivered to each of the Holders, (a) the obligations of the Company under this Agreement (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Agreement), (b) the obligations of the Company under the Registration Rights Agreement and (c) the obligation to deliver to the Holders such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Article IV, the Holders may be entitled to receive and such person shall have similarly delivered to the Holders an opinion of counsel for such person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to a Majority of the Holders, stating that this Agreement shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this Article IV) shall be applicable to the stock, securities, cash or property which such person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of the Warrants or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto or thereto.

SECTION 11.04. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares upon exercise of any Warrant or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional shares. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company shall make payment to the applicable Holder, at the time of exercise of any Warrant as herein provided, in an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date of such exercise.
