and
WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in a public offering (“Public Offering”) of Units and, in
connection therewith, has determined to issue and deliver up to
34,500,000 Warrants to the public
investors (“Public Warrants” and, together with the Insider Warrants, the “Warrants”), each of such
Warrants evidencing the right of the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s common
stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), for $7.50, subject to adjustment as described
herein; and
WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration
Statement on Form S-1, No. 333-141398 (“Registration Statement”), for the registration, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”) of, among other securities, the Warrants and the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the
Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer,
exchange, redemption and exercise of the Warrants; and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide for the form and provisions of the Warrants, the terms
upon which they shall be issued and exercised, and the respective rights, limitation of rights, and
immunities of the Company, the Warrant Agent, and the holders of the Warrants; and
WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the
Warrants, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Warrant
Agent, as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to
authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as
agent for the Company for the Warrants, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment and
agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Warrants.
2.1. Form of Warrant. Each Warrant shall be issued in registered form only, shall be
in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and
shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board or Chief
Executive Officer and Treasurer or Secretary of the Company and shall bear a facsimile of the
Company’s seal. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant
shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such
Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such
at the date of issuance.
2.2. Effect of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the Warrant Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, a Warrant shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exercised by
the holder thereof.
2.3. Registration.
2.3.1. Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant Register”),
for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Upon
the initial issuance of the Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue and register the Warrants in
the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with
instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company.
2.3.2. Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of
any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such
Warrant shall be registered upon the Warrant Register (“registered holder”), as the absolute owner
of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership
or other writing on the Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant
Agent), for the purpose of
any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
2
2.4. Detachability of Warrants. The securities comprising the Units will not be
separately transferable until 90 days after the date hereof unless Lazard Capital Markets LLC
(“Lazard”) informs the Company of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, but in no event
will Lazard allow separate trading of the securities comprising the Units until the Company files a
Current Report on Form 8-K which includes an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the
Company of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering including the proceeds received by the Company
from the exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option, if the over-allotment option is
exercised prior to the filing of the Form 8-K.
2.5 Insider Warrants. The Insider Warrants will be issued in the same form as the
Public Warrants but they (i) will not be transferable or salable until the later of ___,
2008 or the date on which the Company completes a business combination, (ii) will be exercisable on
a cashless basis and will not be redeemable by us if they are still held by the Insiders or their
affiliates and (iii) may be exercised for unregistered shares if a registration statement relating
to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective and current.
3. Terms and Exercise of Warrants
3.1. Warrant Price. Each Warrant shall, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent,
entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this
Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock stated
therein, at the price of $7.50 per whole share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 4
hereof and in the last sentence of this Section 3.1. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this
Warrant Agreement refers to the price per share at which Common Stock may be purchased at the time
a Warrant is exercised. The Company in its sole discretion may lower the Warrant Price at any time
prior to the Expiration Date for a period of not less than 10 business days; provided, however,
that any such reduction shall be identical in percentage terms among all of the Warrants.
3.2. Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period
(“Exercise Period”) commencing on the later of (i) the consummation by the Company of a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination (“Business
Combination”) (as described more fully in the Company’s Registration Statement) and (ii) ,
2008, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier to occur of (i) ,
2011 or (ii) the date fixed for redemption of
the Warrants as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement (“Expiration Date”). Except with respect
to the right to receive the Redemption Price (as set forth in Section 6 hereunder), each Warrant
not exercised on or
3
before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all
rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the
Expiration Date. The Company in its sole discretion may extend the duration of the Warrants by
delaying the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Company will provide notice to registered
holders of the Warrants of such extension of not less than 20 days.
3.3. Exercise of Warrants.
3.3.1. Payment. Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Warrant Agreement,
a Warrant, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised by the registered holder
thereof by surrendering it, at the office of the Warrant Agent, or at the office of its successor
as Warrant Agent, in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, with the subscription
form, as set forth in the Warrant, duly executed, and by paying in full the Warrant Price for each
full share of Common Stock as to which the Warrant is exercised and any and all applicable taxes
due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, as follows:
(a) in cash, good certified check or good bank draft payable to the order of the
Company (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company); or
(b) with respect to any Insider Warrants, by surrendering such Insider Warrants for
that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the
difference between the exercise price of the Warrants and the “Fair Market Value” (defined
below) by (y) the Fair Market Value. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.3.1(c), the “Fair
Market Value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the
five trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the Insider Warrants
are exercised.
3.3.2. Issuance of Certificates. As soon as practicable after the exercise of any
Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price, the Company shall issue to
the registered holder of such Warrant a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares
of Common Stock to which he is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by
him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new countersigned
Warrant for the number of shares as to which such
4
Warrant shall not have been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not
be obligated to deliver any securities pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and shall have
no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Act
with respect to the Common Stock is effective, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations
under Section 7.4 to use its best efforts. In the event that a registration statement with respect
to the Common Stock underlying a Public Warrant is not effective under the Act, the holder of such
Public Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value
and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant
exercise. Public Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any registered holder
in any state in which such exercise would be unlawful. The shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of Insider Warrants shall be unregistered shares. In the event that a registration
statement is not effective for the exercised Public Warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing
such Warrant, will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the shares included in
such unit.
3.3.3. Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock issued upon the proper exercise of
a Warrant in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
3.3.4. Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any such certificate for shares of
Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such
shares on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Warrant Price was made,
irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such
surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such
person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the
next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
3.3.5. Intentionally Omitted.
4. Adjustments.
4.1. Stock Dividends — Split-Ups. If after the date hereof, and subject to the
provisions of Section 4.6 below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a
stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock, or
other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be increased in
proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock.
5
4.2. Aggregation of Shares. If after the date hereof, and subject to the provisions
of Section 4.6, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation,
combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar
event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split,
reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of
each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common
Stock.
4.3 Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as provided in Section 4.1 and 4.2
above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such
adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so
purchasable immediately thereafter.
4.4. Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any
reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change
covered by Section 4.1 or 4.2 hereof or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common
Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another
corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity
of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in
connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Warrant holders shall thereafter have the right
to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the
Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore
purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount
of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such
reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such
sale or transfer, that the Warrant holder would have received if such Warrant holder had exercised
his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior to such event; and if any reclassification also
results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by Section 4.1 or 4.2, then such adjustment
shall be made pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and this Section 4.4. The provisions of this
Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or
consolidations, sales or other transfers.
6
4.5. Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof
to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment and
the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the
exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts
upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1,
4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, then, in any such event, the Company shall give written notice to each Warrant
holder, at the last address set forth for such holder in the warrant register, 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.
4.6. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exercise of Warrants.
If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4, the holder of any Warrant would
be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the
Company shall, upon such exercise, round up or down to the nearest whole number the number of the
shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.
4.7. Form of Warrant. The form of Warrant need not be changed because of any
adjustment pursuant to this Section 4, and Warrants issued after such adjustment may state the same
Warrant Price and the same number of shares as is stated in the Warrants initially issued pursuant
to this Agreement. However, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in
the form of Warrant that the Company may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance
thereof, and any Warrant thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution
for an outstanding Warrant or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
5. Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.
5.1. Registration of Transfer. The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from
time to time, of any outstanding Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant
for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate
instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate
number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.
The Warrants so cancelled shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time
upon request.
7
5.2. Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. Warrants may be surrendered to the Warrant
Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Warrant Agent
shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the registered holder of
the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however,
that in the event that a Warrant surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant
Agent shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange therefor until the Warrant
Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and
indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.
5.3. Fractional Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any
registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for
a fraction of a warrant.
5.4. Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or
registration of transfer of Warrants.
5.5. Warrant Execution and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized
to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants
required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, and the Company, whenever
required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrants duly executed on behalf
of the Company for such purpose.
6. Redemption.
6.1. Redemption. Not less than all of the outstanding Public Warrants may be
redeemed, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are exercisable and prior to their
expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon the notice referred to in Section 6.2, at the
price of $.01 per Public Warrant (“Redemption Price”), provided that the last sales price of the
Common Stock has been at least $14.25 per share, on each of twenty (20) trading days within any
thirty (30) trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice
of redemption is given.
6.2. Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Redemption. In the event the Company shall elect
to redeem all of the Public Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for the redemption. Notice of
redemption shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than 30
days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered holders of the Public Warrants to be
redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed
in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not
the registered holder received such notice.
8
6.3. Exercise After Notice of Redemption. The Public Warrants may be exercised, for
cash at any time after notice of redemption shall have been given by the Company pursuant to
Section 6.2 hereof and prior to the time and date fixed for redemption. On and after the
redemption date, the record holder of the Public Warrants shall have no further rights except to
receive, upon surrender of the Public Warrants, the Redemption Price.
6.4 Intentionally Omitted.
7. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.
7.1. No Rights as Stockholder. A Warrant does not entitle the registered holder
thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the
right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to
consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the
election of directors of the Company or any other matter.
7.2. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If any Warrant is lost, stolen,
mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Warrant Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or
otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant,
include the surrender
thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be
at any time enforceable by anyone.
7.3. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to
permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.
7.4. Registration of Common Stock. The Company agrees that prior to the commencement
of the Exercise Period, it shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement, or a new registration statement, for the registration,
under the Act, of, and it shall use its best efforts to take such action as is necessary to qualify
for sale, in those states in which the Warrants were initially offered by the Company, the Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. In either case, the Company will use its best
efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such
registration statement until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the
9
provisions of
this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 7.4 may not be modified, amended or deleted without
the prior written consent of Lazard.
8. Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters.
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 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be
obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Warrants or such shares.
8.2. Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Warrant Agent.
8.2.1. 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. If the
Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified
in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the holder of the Warrant
(who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant for
inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the
State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at
the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such
court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in
good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New
York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall
be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, 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, and rights 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.
10
8.2.2. Notice of Successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent
shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the
transfer agent for the Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment.
8.2.3. 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.
8.3. Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.
8.3.1. Remuneration. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable
remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent hereunder and will reimburse the Warrant Agent
upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of
its duties hereunder.
8.3.2. Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and
deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other
acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the
carrying out or
performing of the provisions of this Agreement.
8.4. Liability of Warrant Agent.
8.4.1. Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under
this Warrant 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 President or
Chairman of the Board 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.
8.4.2. 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 this Agreement except
as a result of the Warrant Agent’s negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith.
11
8.4.3. 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 Section 4 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 shares of Common Stock to
be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of Common Stock
will when issued be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.
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 shares of Common Stock through the exercise of Warrants.
