fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the aggregate Fair Market Value of cash and all other
property (other than Public Stock) that holders of Common Stock will receive for each such share of
Common Stock in connection with such Mixed Consideration Merger, and (ii) the denominator of which
shall be the Fair Market Value of all of the consideration holders of Common Stock will receive for
each such share of Common Stock in connection with such Mixed Consideration Merger;
provided, that, if the holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the
consideration to be received in such Mixed Consideration Merger, the Cash Consideration Ratio shall
be determined by reference to the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration

Cash Redemption Value: the meaning set forth in Section 6.1.
Certificate of Incorporation: the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or

more (by voting power) of the outstanding shares of Voting Securities, (ii) all or substantially
all of the consolidated assets of the Company are sold, leased (other than leases to tenants in the
ordinary course of business), exchanged or transferred to any Person or group of Persons, (iii) the
Company is consolidated, merged, amalgamated, reorganized or otherwise enters into a similar
transaction in which it is combined with another Person (in each case, other
2
than pursuant to the Plan), unless shares of Common Stock held by holders who are not

for, converted into or constitute solely (except to the extent of applicable appraisal rights or
cash received in lieu of fractional shares) the right to receive as consideration Public Stock and
the Persons who beneficially own the outstanding Voting Securities of the Company immediately
before consummation of the transaction beneficially own a majority (by voting power) of the
outstanding Voting Securities of the combined or surviving entity or new parent immediately
thereafter, (iv) the Company engages in a reclassification or similar transaction pursuant to which
shares of Common Stock are converted into the right to receive anything other than Public Stock, or
(v) the holders of capital stock of the Company have approved any plan or proposal for the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company; provided that with respect to an election by any
Holder pursuant to Section 6.1, no event or series of events shall constitute a Change of Control
Event if (x) such event or series of events is not approved by a majority of the disinterested
directors of the Company and (y) such Holder or any of its Affiliates is the acquiror or part of
the acquiring group for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) above or is combined with the Company for
purposes of clause (iii) above. For purposes of this definition, a “group” means a group of
Persons within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.

is reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average

Exchange, or if the Common Stock or such other security is not listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, as reported by the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange or quotation
system on which the Common Stock or such other security is then listed or quoted; provided,
however, that in the absence of such listing or quotations, the Closing Sale Price shall be
determined by an Independent Financial Expert appointed for such purpose, using one or more
valuation methods that the Independent Financial Expert in its best professional judgment
determines to be most appropriate, assuming such Common Stock or securities are fully distributed
and are to be sold in an arm’s-length transaction and there was no compulsion on the part of any
party to such sale to buy or sell and taking into account all relevant factors.

Stock Exchange, or if such shares or securities are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, as
reported by the principal U.S. national or regional securities exchange or quotation system on
which such shares or securities are then listed or quoted; provided, however, if (x) such shares or
securities are not listed or quoted on the New York Stock Exchange or any U.S. national or regional
securities exchange or quotations system or (y) a transaction impacting such shares or securities
makes it unjust or inequitable to value such shares or securities in the manner provided above as
reasonably determined in good faith by the Board, then the Fair Market Value of such securities
shall be the fair market value per share or unit of such shares or securities as determined by an
Independent Financial Expert appointed for such purpose, using one or more valuation methods that
the Independent Financial Expert in its best professional judgment determines to be most
appropriate, assuming such shares or other securities are fully distributed and are to be sold in

Agreement (but which do not affect the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Warrant Agent)
shall be dated the date on which countersigned by the Warrant Agent and may have such legends and
endorsements typed, stamped, printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as provided in Section
3.6(f) and as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or as may be required to comply with
any law or with any rule or regulation pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any
securities exchange on which the Warrants may be listed.
Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates; Vesting.
Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Warrant Certificates evidencing such
total number of Warrants to be delivered to each Initial Investor as set forth on Schedule
A shall be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent for countersignature, by
manual or facsimile signature, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon countersign and deliver such
Warrant Certificates to each Initial Investor (or their designee(s) in accordance with the last
sentence of this Section 2.2(a)). The Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf
of the Company by its President or a Vice President, either manually or by facsimile signature
printed thereon. Each Initial Investor, in its sole discretion, may designate that some or all
of its Warrants and Warrant Certificates be issued in the name of, and delivered to, one or more of
the members of its Purchaser Group.
9
The Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificates delivered pursuant to Section
2.2(a) shall vest in the amounts and at the times set forth on Schedule A;
provided, that any Warrants delivered to an Initial Investor (or their designee(s) in
accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.2(a)) that have not vested on or prior to
the first date on which (x) the Investment Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement applicable with
respect to such Initial Investor has been terminated in accordance with its terms and (y) the
Warrant Agent has received written notice from the Company of such termination, shall no longer be
eligible for vesting and shall be deemed cancelled.
From time to time, the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver Warrant Certificates in
required denominations to Persons entitled thereto in connection with any transfer or exchange
permitted under this Agreement. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably (but subject to Article
9) authorized to countersign and deliver Warrant Certificates as required by Section
2.2, Section 3.4, Article 7, and Section 12.4 or otherwise as provided
herein. The Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its President or a
Vice President, either manually or by facsimile signature printed thereon. The Warrant Certificates
shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent, either manually or by facsimile signature, and shall
not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. In case any officer of the Company whose
signature shall have been placed upon any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such
officer of the Company before countersignature by the Warrant Agent and issue and delivery thereof,
such Warrant Certificates may, nevertheless, be countersigned by the Warrant Agent, either
manually or by facsimile signature printed thereon, and issued and delivered with the same
force and effect as though such Person had not ceased to be such officer of the Company.
No Warrant Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby may be exercised, unless such
Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant
Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company
shall be conclusive evidence that such Warrant Certificate has been duly issued under the terms of
this Agreement.
EXERCISE PRICE; EXERCISE OF WARRANTS AND EXPIRATION OF WARRANTS.
Exercise Price. Each Warrant Certificate shall, when countersigned by the Warrant
Agent, entitle the Holder thereof, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to purchase, except
as provided in Section 3.3 hereof, one share of Common Stock for each Warrant represented
thereby, subject to all adjustments made on or prior to the date of exercise thereof, at an
exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) of $15.00 per share, subject to all adjustments made
on or prior to the date of exercise thereof as herein provided.
Exercise of Warrants. The Warrants shall be exercisable in whole or in part from time
to time on any Business Day beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Expiration Date, in the
manner provided for herein; provided, that the Warrants issued to each Initial Investor (or their
designee(s) in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.2(a)) shall not be
exercisable in whole or in part until 61 days after the date on which the Investment Agreement or
Stock Purchase Agreement applicable to such Initial Investor shall have been
10
terminated in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, Warrants that have not
vested in accordance with Schedule A may not be exercised.
Expiration of Warrants. Any unexercised Warrants shall expire and the rights of the
Holders of such Warrants to purchase Underlying Common Stock shall terminate at the close of
business on May 10, 2017 (the “Expiration Date”).
Method of Exercise; Settlement of Warrant. In order to exercise a Warrant, the Holder
thereof must (i) surrender the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant to the Warrant Agent,
with the form on the reverse of or attached to the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly
executed (the date of the surrender of such Warrant Certificate, the “Exercise Date”), and
(ii) if Net Share Settlement is not elected, deliver in full the aggregate Exercise Price then in
effect for the shares of Underlying Common Stock as to which a Warrant Certificate is submitted for
exercise, not later than the Settlement Date as more fully set forth herein. Full Physical
Settlement shall apply to each Warrant unless the Holder elects for Net Share Settlement to apply
upon exercise of such Warrant. Such election shall be made in the form on the reverse of or
attached to the Warrant Certificate for such Warrant.
If Full Physical Settlement is applicable with respect to the exercise of a Warrant, then, for
each Warrant exercised hereunder (i) prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Settlement
Date for such Warrant, the Holder shall pay the aggregate Exercise Price (determined as of such
Exercise Date) for the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of such Warrant at
such time by federal wire or other immediately available funds payable to the order of the Company
to the account maintained by the Warrant Agent and notified to the Holder upon request of the
Holder, and (ii) on the Settlement Date, following receipt by the Warrant Agent of such Exercise
Price, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock
obtainable upon exercise of each Warrant at such time (the “Full Physical Share Amount”),
together with cash in respect of any fractional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section
3.4(f).
If Net Share Settlement is applicable with respect to the exercise of a Warrant, then, for
each Warrant exercised hereunder, on the Settlement Date for such Warrant, the Company shall cause
to be delivered to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock (which in no event will be less
than zero) (the “Net Share Amount”) equal to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
obtainable upon exercise of such Warrant at such time, multiplied by (ii) the Closing Sale Price on
the relevant Exercise Date, minus the Exercise Price (determined as of such Exercise Date), divided
by (iii) such Closing Sale Price, together with cash in respect of any fractional shares of Common
Stock as provided in Section 3.4(f). The Warrant Agent shall not take any action under
this Section unless and until the Company has provided it with written instructions containing the
Net Share Amount. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm
whether the Company’s determination of the number of the Net Share Amount is accurate or
correct.
Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate in conformity with the foregoing provisions and
receipt by the Warrant Agent of the Exercise Price therefor or, in the event of Net Share
Settlement, upon the election by a Holder for Net Share Settlement, the Warrant Agent shall
thereupon promptly notify the Company, and the Company shall instruct its transfer agent
11
to transfer to the Holder of such Warrant Certificate appropriate evidence of ownership of any
shares of Underlying Common Stock or other securities or property to which the Holder is entitled,
registered or otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, such name or names as may be
directed in writing by the Holder, and shall deliver such evidence of ownership to the Person or
Persons entitled to receive the same, together with cash in respect of any fractional shares of
Common Stock as provided in Section 3.4(f), provided that if the Holder shall direct that
such securities be registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such direction shall be
tendered in conjunction with a signature guarantee by a participant in a Medallion Signature
Guarantee Program at a guarantee level acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent, and any
other reasonable evidence of authority that may be required by the Warrant Agent. Upon receipt by
the Warrant Agent of the Exercise Price therefor or, in the event of Net Share Settlement, upon the
election by a Holder for Net Share Settlement, a Holder shall be deemed to own and have all of the
rights associated with any Underlying Common Stock or other securities or property to which such
Holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement upon the surrender of a Warrant Certificate in
accordance with this Agreement.
The Company acknowledges that the bank accounts maintained by the Warrant Agent in connection
with its performance under this Agreement shall be in the Warrant Agent’s name and that the Warrant
Agent may receive investment earnings in connection with the investment at the Warrant Agent’s risk
and for its benefit of funds held in those accounts from time to time. The Warrant Agent shall
remit any payments received in connection with the exercise of Warrants to the Company as soon as
practicable and in any event within three Business Days by federal wire or other immediately
available funds to an account selected by the Company and notified in writing to the Warrant Agent.
If fewer than all the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate are surrendered, such
Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered and a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and for
the number of Warrants that were not surrendered shall promptly be executed and delivered to the
Warrant Agent by the Company. The Warrant Agent shall promptly countersign, by either manual or
facsimile signature, the new Warrant Certificate, register it in such name or names as may be
directed in writing by the Holder and deliver the new Warrant Certificate to the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the same.
The Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon
exercise of any Warrants; provided, that, if more than one Warrant shall be exercised hereunder at
one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon
exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of all Warrants so exercised, and shall include the
aggregation of all fractional shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants. If
after giving effect to the aggregation of all shares of Common Stock (and fractions thereof)
issuable upon exercise of Warrants by the same Holder at one time as set forth in the previous
sentence, any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this
Section 3.4(f), be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant or Warrants, the Company shall
pay the Holder cash in lieu of such fractional share valued at the Closing Sale Price on the
Exercise Date.
Transferability of Warrants and Common Stock. Except as any Holder may otherwise
agree in writing, any Warrants, all rights with respect thereto and any shares of
12
Underlying Common Stock may be sold, transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, without any
requirement of obtaining the consent of the Company to so sell, transfer or dispose of, provided
that any such sale, transfer or disposition shall be in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, Article 7 hereof.
Compliance with Law. 4. To the extent the Warrants are Registrable Securities, no
Warrant may be exercised (and the Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to process any
exercise), and no Registrable Securities may be sold, transferred, hypothecated, pledged or
otherwise disposed of (any such sale, transfer or other disposition, a “Sale”, and the
action of making any such sale, transfer or other disposition, to “Sell”), except in
compliance with applicable Federal and state securities and other applicable laws and this
Section 3.6.
A Holder may exercise its Warrants if it is an “accredited investor” or a “qualified
institutional buyer”, as defined in Regulation D and Rule 144A under the Securities Act,
respectively, and, a Holder may Sell its Registrable Securities to a transferee that is an
“accredited investor” or a “qualified institutional buyer”, as such terms are defined in such
Regulation and such Rule, respectively, provided that each of the following conditions is
satisfied:

the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that it is an “accredited investor”;

Underlying Common Stock (in the case of an exercise) or Registrable Securities (in the case
of a Sale) for its own account and that it is not acquiring such Underlying Common Stock or
the Registrable Securities with a view to, or for offer or Sale in connection with, any
distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act) that would be in violation
of the securities laws of the United States or any applicable state thereof, but subject,
nevertheless, to the disposition of its property being at all times within its control;
such Holder or transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section
3.6 with respect to any exercise of the Warrants and any Sale of the Registrable
Securities; and
such Holder or transferee represents and warrants in writing to the Company that the
Holder or transferee has sufficient knowledge and experience in investment transactions of
this type to evaluate the merits and risks of the exercise of its Warrants and/or purchase
of the Underlying Common Stock, as applicable.
A Holder may exercise its Warrants and may Sell its Registrable Securities in accordance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act.
A Holder may exercise its Warrants or Sell its Registrable Securities if:
13
such Holder gives written notice to the Company of its intention to exercise or effect
such Sale, which notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed
transaction in reasonable detail;

Holder to the effect that, in either case, such proposed exercise or Sale may be effected
without registration under the Securities Act or under applicable Blue Sky laws; and
such Holder or transferee complies with Sections 3.6(b)(ii),
3.6(b)(iii), and 3.6(b)(iv).

Applicability; Registration.
Subject to the limitations and conditions of this Section 4.1, upon the request of any
Holder, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause a Shelf Registration Statement to be
declared or become effective covering all Registrable Securities no later than the effective date
of a plan of reorganization of the Company (including without limitation the Plan), and use
reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in
compliance with the Securities Act and usable for resale of all Registrable Securities for the
period from the date of its initial effectiveness until such time as there are no Registrable
Securities remaining in accordance with such plan of distribution as may be reasonably requested by
Holders of Registrable Securities from time to time. The underwriting provisions set forth in
Section 4.1(e) hereof shall apply to an underwritten public offering requested by a Holder
using such Shelf Registration Statement effected pursuant to this Section 4.1(a),
provided, that the limitations set forth in Section 4.1(e) shall only apply with
respect to such underwritten public offering and not more generally to the Shelf Registration
Statement.
Subject to the conditions of this Section 4.1, if the Company shall receive from any
Holder or group of Holders (such Holder or group of Holders, the “Initiating Holder(s)”), a
written request that the Company effect a registration with respect to Registrable Securities owned
by such Initiating Holder(s) having an estimated aggregate Fair Market Value of at least $75
million, the Company shall:
use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement with the SEC in
accordance with the request of the Initiating Holder(s), including without limitation the
method of disposition specified therein and covering resales of the Registrable Securities
requested to be registered, as promptly as reasonably practicable but no later than (x) in
the case of a Registration Statement other than
15
an S-1 Registration Statement, within 30 days of receipt of the request or (y) in the
case of an S-1 Registration Statement, within 60 days of receipt of the request;
use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared or
become effective as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 60 days after the
date of initial filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(i);
and
use reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective
and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for resale of such Registrable
Securities for the period as requested in writing by the Initiating Holder(s) or such longer
period as may be requested in writing by any Holder participating in such registration
(which periods shall be extended to the extent of any suspensions of sales pursuant to
Sections 4.1(c) or 4.4);
provided, that (x) the number of demand registrations that the Brookfield Investors shall
be entitled to effect pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall be no more than three such
demand registrations in total and no more than one such demand registration in any 12-month period,
(y) the number of demand registrations that The Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx shall be entitled to effect pursuant
to this Section 4.1(b) shall be no more than three such demand registrations in total and
no more than one such demand registration in any 12-month period (The Fairholme Focused Income Fund
will not be entitled to exercise demand registration rights under this Section 4.1(b)), and
(z) the number of demand registrations that the Pershing Investors shall be entitled to effect
pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall be no more than three such demand registrations in
total and no more than one such demand registration in any 12-month period; provided,
further, that the Company shall be permitted, with the consent of the Initiating Holder(s)
not to be unreasonably withheld, to file a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement to the
Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 4.1(a) in lieu of an additional
registration statement pursuant to Section 4.1(b) to the extent the Company reasonably
determines that the Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holder(s) may be sold thereunder by
such Initiating Holder(s) pursuant to their intended plan of distribution (in which case such
post-effective amendment or demand registration statement shall not be counted against the limited
number of demand registrations). It shall not be unreasonable if, following the recommendation of
an underwriter, the Initiating Holder(s) do not consent to the Company filing a post-effective
amendment or prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 4.1(a) in lieu of an additional registration statement requested by the Initiating
Holder(s).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required
to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 4.1: (i) with respect to securities that

Black-Out Period; or (iii) if the Company has notified the Holders that in the good faith judgment
of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its security holders for such
registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer
such registration for a period of not more than 60 days; provided that (A) such right to
delay a registration pursuant to clause (iii) shall be exercised by the Company only if the Company
has generally exercised (or is concurrently exercising) similar black-out rights against holders of similar
16
securities that have registration rights, if any, and (B) any rights to delay
registration pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) shall be subject to the Suspension Limit described
in Section 4.4.
If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either (x) for its own
account, (y) for the account of the Holders listed in Section 4.1(b) pursuant to the terms
thereof, or (z) for the account of Other Stockholders (other than (A) a registration relating
solely to employee benefit plans, (B) a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction
under the Securities Act or (C) a registration on any registration form which does not permit
secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be
included in a Registration Statement), the Company will, subject to the conditions set forth in
this Section 4.1(d):
promptly give to each of the Holders a written notice thereof (which shall include a
list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities
under the applicable blue sky or other state securities laws); and
subject to Section 4.1(f) below and any transfer restrictions any Holder may be
a party to, include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws
or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable
Securities specified in a written request or requests, made by the Holders. Such written
request may specify all or a part of the Holders’ Registrable Securities and shall be
received by the Company within ten (10) days after written notice from the Company is given
under Section 4.1(d)(i) above.
If any Initiating Holder(s) intends to distribute Registrable Securities pursuant to
Section 4.1(b) by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company. In the case of
such an underwritten offering, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms for the
Registrable Securities shall be determined by the Initiating Holder(s). If Other Stockholders or
Holders, to the extent they have any registration rights under Section 4.1(d), request
inclusion of their securities or Registrable Securities, respectively, in the underwriting, the
Initiating Holder(s) shall offer to include such securities or Registrable Securities of such Other
Stockholders or Holders, respectively, in the underwriting and may condition such offer on their
acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 4.1(e). The Holders whose
Registrable Securities are to be included in such registration and the Company shall (together with
all Other Stockholders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by the Initiating Holder(s) subject to approval by the Company not
to be unreasonably withheld (which underwriters may also include a non-bookrunning co-manager
selected by the Company subject to approval by the Initiating Holder(s)); provided, however, that
such underwriting agreement shall not provide for indemnification or contribution obligations on
the part of any Holder greater than the obligations of the Holders under Sections 4.7(b)
and 4.8. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.1(e), if the
managing underwriter or underwriters advises the Holders in writing that marketing factors require
a limitation on the number of securities to be underwritten, some or all of the securities of the
Company held by the Other Stockholders shall be excluded from such registration to the extent so
required by such limitation. If, after the exclusion of such securities held by the Other Stockholders, further
17
reductions are still required due to the marketing
limitation, the number of Registrable Securities included in the registration by each Holder
(including the Initiating Holder(s)) shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (based on the number of
securities held by such Holders), by such minimum number of securities as is necessary to comply
with such request. No Registrable Securities or any other securities excluded from the
underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such
registration. If any Holder or Other Stockholder who has requested inclusion in such registration
as provided above disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Person may elect to withdraw
therefrom by providing written notice to the Company, the underwriter and the Initiating Holder(s).
The securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration. If the underwriter has not
limited the number of Registrable Securities or other securities to be underwritten, the Company
and executive officers and directors of the Company (whether or not such Persons have registration
rights pursuant to Section 4.1(d) hereof) may include its or their securities for its or
their own account in such registration if the managing underwriter or underwriters and the Company
so agree and if the number of Registrable Securities and other securities which would otherwise
have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited. The Company
shall not be obligated to undertake more than (i) one underwritten offering requested by any of the
Brookfield Investors pursuant to Sections 4.1(b) and 4.1(e) in any 12-month period,
(ii) one underwritten offering requested by The Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx pursuant to Section 4.1(b)
and 4.1(e) in any 12-month period, and (iii) one underwritten offering requested by any of
the Pershing Investors pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and 4.1(e) in any 12-month
period. The Holders shall reasonably cooperate in connection with requests for underwritten
offerings pursuant to this Section 4.1(e) to cause the total number of days that the
Company shall be subject to lock-ups in connection with any such underwritten offerings not to
exceed 120 days in any 365-day period.
If the registration of which the Company gives notice pursuant to Section 4.1(d) is
for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise each of the
Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 4.1(d) above. In such
event, the right of each of the Holders to registration pursuant to Section 4.1(d) shall be
conditioned upon such Holders’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holders’ Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Holders
whose Registrable Securities are to be included in such registration shall (together with the
Company and the Other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter
into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters
selected for underwriting by the Company (other than a registration pursuant to Section
4.1(b) and notified by the Company pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(y), in which case
Section 4.1(e) shall apply with respect to the selection of underwriters); provided,
however, that such underwriting agreement shall not provide for indemnification or contribution
obligations on the part of any Holder greater than the obligations of the Holders under
Sections 4.7(b) and 4.8. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section
4.1(d), if any registration in respect of which any Holder is exercising its rights under
Section 4.1(d) involves an underwritten public offering (other than a registration pursuant
to Section 4.1(b), in which case the provisions with respect to priority of inclusion in
such registration set forth in Section 4.1(e) shall apply) and the managing underwriter or
underwriters advises the Company that in its view marketing factors require a limitation on the
number of securities to be underwritten, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering
the number or dollar amount of securities of the Company that in the
opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting
such offering, and such number of securities of the Company
18
shall be allocated for inclusion as
follows: (1) first, all securities of the Company being sold by the Company for its own account;
(2) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included by the Holders and, solely with
respect to an offering of Warrants following the 180th day after the effectiveness of a
plan of reorganization of the Company, securities of the Company being sold by any Person (other
than a Holder) with similar piggyback registration rights, pro rata, based on the number of
securities beneficially owned by each such Holder and Person; and (3) third, among any other
holders of securities of the Company requesting such registration, pro rata, based on the number of
securities beneficially owned by each such holder. If any of the Holders or any officer, director
or Other Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he, she or it may elect to
withdraw therefrom by providing written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable
Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from
such registration.
In the event any Holder requests or elects to participate in a registration pursuant to this
Section 4.1 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or
members, the registration shall provide for the resale by such partners or members, if requested by
such Holder.
The Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to promptly respond to any request by any
member of the Fairholme Purchaser Group to sell Registrable Securities under a Registration
Statement or Prospectus during what would otherwise be a Scheduled Black-Out Period, provided that
such consent can be given in compliance with applicable securities laws. In addition the Company
agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to issue earnings releases as promptly as practicable
following the end of quarterly reporting periods and to otherwise minimize the duration of
Scheduled Black-Out Periods.
Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall
be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations
hereunder shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of
the aggregate offering or sale price of the securities so registered.
Obligations of the Company. In connection with the registration of any Registrable
Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable and in accordance with
the requested methods of distribution thereof, subject to the provisions of this Article 4:
Prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement with respect to a proposed
offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Registration Statement and,
subject to Sections 4.1(b), 4.1(c) and 4.4, use reasonable best
efforts to keep such Registration Statement effective or such prospectus supplement current,
until the termination of the period contemplated in Section 4.5.
Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the applicable
Registration Statement and the Prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with
such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement for the period set forth in paragraph (a)
19
above.
Furnish to the Holders and any underwriters such number of copies of the applicable
Registration Statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each
case all exhibits) and of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned or to be
distributed by them.
Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such
Registration Statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as
shall be reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s), to keep such
registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains
in effect, and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such
seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such
Holder; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions.
Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a Prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the happening of any event
as a result of which the applicable Prospectus, as then in effect, would include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
then existing.
Give written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement:
when any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 4.1 or any amendment
thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement
or the Prospectus included therein or for additional information;
of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any
Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in any
effective Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to
20
make the statements therein
not misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of
the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made).
Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement referred to in Section
4.3(f)(iii) at the earliest practicable time.
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4.3(f)(v), as soon as
is reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement
or a supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered to the Holders and any underwriters, the Prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with Section 4.3(f)(v)
to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes to the Prospectus have been
made, then the Holders and any underwriters shall suspend use of such Prospectus and use
their commercially reasonable efforts to return to the Company all copies of such Prospectus
(at the Company’s expense) other than permanently filed copies then in such Holder’s or
underwriter’s possession.
Use its reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’s transfer
agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to
the transfer of physical security instruments into book-entry form in accordance with any
procedures reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s).
Use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are under its control to become
or remain a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act)
(and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act))
during the period when such Registration Statement remains in effect.
With respect to underwritten public offerings permitted by this Agreement, enter into
an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customarily entered into for
similar underwritten secondary offerings of equity securities and take all such other
actions reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
being sold in connection therewith or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or
facilitate the underwritten disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection
therewith as customary for any similar underwritten secondary offering, (i) make such
representations and warranties to the Holders that are selling stockholders and the managing
underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries,
and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to
be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are
customarily made by the issuer in similar secondary underwritten offerings of equity
securities, and confirm
the same if and when requested, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish
underwriters opinions of counsel to the Company, addressed to the managing underwriter(s),
if any,
21
covering the matters customarily covered in the opinions requested in similar
secondary underwritten offerings of equity securities, (iii) use its reasonable best efforts
to obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the
Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any
business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are
included in the Registration Statement) who have certified the financial statements included
in such Registration Statement, addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if any,
such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in
“cold comfort” letters in connection with similar secondary underwritten offerings of equity
securities, (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain
indemnification provisions and procedures customary in similar secondary underwritten
offerings of equity securities by similar companies, and (v) deliver such documents and
certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities being sold in connection therewith, their counsel and the managing
underwriter(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and
warranties made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary
conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the
Company.
Make available for inspection by a representative of Holders that are selling at least
five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities issued on the date hereof, the managing
underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by such Holders or
managing underwriter(s), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business
hours, financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company, and
cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information in each
case reasonably requested by any such representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or
accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided that this clause (l)
shall only be applicable to a representative of such Holders that are selling stockholders
and any attorneys or accountants retained by such Holders if such Holder is named in the
applicable prospectus supplement as a Person who may be deemed to be an underwriter with
respect to an offering and sale of Registrable Securities.
Suspension of Sales. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but
subject to the Suspension Limit described below), (i) subject to Section 4.1(h), during any
Scheduled Black-Out Period or (ii) upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a
Registration Statement or Prospectus contains or may contain an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or that circumstances exist that make inadvisable use of such Registration
Statement or Prospectus, the Holder of Registrable Securities shall forthwith discontinue the
marketing of or disposition of Registrable Securities until termination of such Scheduled Black-Out
Period, until the Holder has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus, or until such
Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and, if
so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all
copies, other than
permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such
Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. The total number of days
22
that
any such suspensions and any deferrals or delays in registration pursuant to Section 4.1(c)
in the aggregate may be in effect in any 180 day period shall not exceed 60 days (the
“Suspension Limit”).
Termination of Registration Rights. A Holder’s Registration Rights as to any
securities held by such Holder (and its affiliates, partners, members and former members) shall not
be available unless such securities are Registrable Securities.
Furnishing Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to take any action pursuant to Section 4.3 that the selling Holders and the
underwriters, if any, shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the
Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as
shall be required to effect the registered offering of their Registrable Securities.
Indemnification. (a) In connection with each registration pursuant to Article
4, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (1) each selling Holder and each of its
officers, directors, limited or general partners and members, (2) each member, limited or general
partner of each such member, limited or general partner, (3) each of their respective Affiliates,
officers, directors, shareholders, employees, advisors and agents, (4) each underwriter or agent
participating in such offering, and (5) each Person, if any, who controls any selling Holder or any
such underwriter or agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act as follows:
against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense (“Loss”)
whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or the omission or alleged omission
therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or arising out of an untrue statement of a material fact
included in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or the omission or alleged
omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and
against any and all Loss whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount
paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental
agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission;
provided, however, that, with respect to any selling Holder or any
underwriter or agent, this indemnity does not apply to any Loss to the extent arising out of
an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such selling
Holder or underwriter or agent, respectively, expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus.
Each selling Holder agrees severally, and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed a Registration Statement,
23
each underwriter
or agent participating in such offering and the other selling Holders, and each Person, if any, who
controls the Company, any such underwriter or agent and any other selling Holder within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all Losses described in the indemnity
contained in Section 4.7(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or
omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement, or any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such selling Holder expressly for use in the Registration
Statement, or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus.
The obligations of the Company under Section 4.7(a) and of the selling Holders under
Section 4.7(b) to indemnify any underwriter or agent who participates in an offering (or
any Person, if any, controlling such underwriter or agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act) shall be conditioned upon the underwriting or agency agreement with such
underwriter or agent containing an agreement by such underwriter or agent to indemnify and hold
harmless (1) each selling Holder and each of its officers, directors, limited or general partners
and members, (2) each member, limited or general partner of each such member, limited or general
partner, (3) each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
advisors and agents, (4) the Company, its directors, and each of its officers who signed a
Registration Statement, and (5) each Person, if any, who controls the Company or any such selling
Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all Losses described
in the indemnity contained in Section 4.7(a), as incurred, but only with respect to untrue
statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration
Statement, or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by such underwriter or agent expressly for use in the
Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus.
Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action
commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so
notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability it may
have under this Agreement, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby.
If it so elects, after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other
indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel
chosen by it, provided that the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in (but
not control) the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it, the reasonable fees and expenses
of which shall be paid by the indemnifying party if there would be a conflict if one counsel were
to represent both the indemnified and the indemnifying party, and by the indemnified party in all
other circumstances. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable for a settlement
of an action with respect to which they have assumed the defense if such settlement is effected
without the written consent of the indemnifying party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
or for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for (i) the Company, its officer, directors
and controlling Persons as a group, (ii) the selling Holders and their controlling Persons as a
group and (iii) the underwriters or agents and their controlling Persons as a group, in each case,
in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.
24
Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article 4 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any
Loss, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such aggregate
Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party
on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions (or alleged statements or omissions) which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or
alleged untrue) statement of a material fact or the omission (or alleged omission) to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party
and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that the obligations of each of the Holders
hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net
proceeds such Holder receives in such registration and, provided, further, that no Person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
For purposes of this Section 4.8, each Person, if any, who controls an underwriter or agent
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution
as such underwriter or agent and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who
signed a Registration Statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or a selling
Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company or such selling Holder, as the case may be.
Representations, Warranties and Indemnities to Survive. The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Article 4 and the representations and warranties
of the Company referred to in Section 4.3(k) shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of (i) any termination of any underwriting or agency agreement, (ii) any
investigation made by or on behalf of the selling Holders, the Company or any underwriter or agent
or controlling Person or (iii) the consummation of the sale or successive resales of the
Registrable Securities.
Lock-Up Agreements. The Company agrees that, if requested by the managing underwriter
in any underwritten public offering permitted by this Agreement, it will not, directly or
indirectly, sell, offer to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of any
Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock
(subject to customary exceptions), other than any such sale or distribution of Common Stock upon
exercise of the Company’s Warrants, in the case of an underwritten offering for a period of 60 days
from the effective date of the Registration Statement pertaining to such Common Stock; provided,
however, that any such lock-up agreement shall not prohibit the Company from directly or indirectly
(i) selling, offering to sell, granting any option for the sale of, or otherwise disposing of any
Qualifying Employee Stock (or otherwise maintaining its employee benefits plans in the ordinary
course of business) or (ii) issuing Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Stock upon exercise or conversion of any warrant (including any other Warrant), option,
right or convertible or exchangeable security issued in connection with the plan of reorganization.
The total number of days that
25
any such lock-up agreement may be in effect in any 365-day period shall not exceed 120 days.
The lock-up agreements set forth in this Section 4.10 shall be subject to customary
exceptions that may be contained in an underwriting agreement if any such registration involves a
similar underwritten offering.
Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of
certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to
the public without registration, the Company agrees, so long as it is subject to the periodic
reporting requirements of the Securities Act, to use its reasonable best efforts to:
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in Rule 144(c)(1) or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at
all times after the effective date of this Agreement;
file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Exchange Act; and
so long as the Holders own any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holders
forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the
reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act; and
such other reports and documents as any Initial Investor or Holder may reasonably request in
availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities
without registration.
Obtaining Exchange Listing. The Company will file a listing application for listing
on the exchange on which the then outstanding Common Stock is listed with respect to the Underlying
Common Stock as soon as practicable after the date hereof. The Company shall use reasonable best
efforts to list the Warrants, and maintain such listing, on such exchange or, if not possible,
another U.S. national securities exchange, in connection with any proposed underwritten
distribution of the Warrants that meets the applicable listing criteria. A copy of any opinion of
counsel accompanying a listing application by the Company with respect to the Underlying Common
Stock or Warrants shall be furnished to the Warrant Agent, together with a letter to the effect
that the Warrant Agent may rely on the statements made in such opinion.
The Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall have no duties or obligations under this
Article 4 and shall have no duty to monitor or enforce the Company’s compliance with this Article
4.
ADJUSTMENTS AND OTHER RIGHTS.
Stock Dividend; Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any
time issues to holders of the Common Stock a dividend payable solely in, or other distribution
solely of, Common Stock (a “Stock Dividend”), the Exercise Price in effect at the close of
business on the record date for such dividend or distribution shall be reduced immediately
thereafter to the price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by the quotient of (x) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on
26
such record date divided by (y) the sum of such number of shares and the total number of
shares constituting such dividend or other distribution. If the Company at any time subdivides or
combines (by stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) the outstanding
Common Stock into a greater or smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to the time of effectiveness of such subdivision or combination shall be adjusted at such
time of effectiveness to the price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by the quotient of
(x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such time of
effectiveness divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of
effectiveness of and after giving effect to such subdivision or combination. In any such event
referred to in this Section 5.1, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
each Warrant as in effect immediately prior to the Exercise Price adjustment contemplated by the
foregoing shall be adjusted immediately thereafter to the amount determined by multiplying such
number by the quotient of (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Exercise Price
adjustment divided by (y) the Exercise Price determined in accordance with such Exercise Price
adjustment.
Other Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time prior to the
exercise of any Warrant the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a dividend or other
distribution (other than as contemplated by Section 5.5), other than a Stock Dividend
covered by Section 5.1 or a distribution of rights or warrants covered by Section
5.3, to the holders of its Common Stock (collectively, a “Distribution”) of:
any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its capital stock or any other
securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including cash); or
any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the
following: any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of its capital stock or any
other securities or property of any nature whatsoever;
then, in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by
multiplying such Exercise Price by the quotient of (x) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on
the last trading day immediately preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular
way on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted
to trading without the right to receive such Distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair
Market Value of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so
distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock divided by (y) the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock on the last trading day immediately preceding the first date
27
on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on
which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such
Distribution; such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In
such event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant as in
effect immediately prior to the close of business on such record date shall be increased
immediately thereafter to the amount determined by multiplying such number by the quotient of (x)
the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment contemplated by the immediately
preceding sentence divided by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence. If the Distribution includes Common Stock as well as other items
of the sort referred to in Section 5.2(A) or (B), then instead of adjusting for the entire
Distribution under this Section 5.2 the Common Stock portion shall be treated as a Stock Dividend
that triggers an adjustment to the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock obtainable
upon exercise of each Warrant under Section 5.1 and the other items in the Distribution shall
trigger a further adjustment to such adjusted Exercise Price and number of shares under this
Section 5.2. In the event that such Distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant then in effect shall be
readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board determines not to distribute such shares,
evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise
Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.
Rights Offerings. If at any time the Company shall distribute rights or warrants to
all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period of not more than
45 days, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date on which the Board
declares such distribution of rights or warrants, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
the close of business on the record date for such distribution shall be
28
reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by
the quotient of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on
such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering
price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would
purchase at such Fair Market Value divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered
for subscription or purchase. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of each Warrant as in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such record
date shall be increased immediately thereafter to the amount determined by multiplying such number
by the quotient of (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment
contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence divided by (y) the new Exercise Price determined
in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In case any rights or warrants referred to
in this Section 5.3 in respect of which an adjustment shall have been made shall expire
unexercised and any shares that would have been underlying such rights or warrants shall not have
been allocated pursuant to any backstop commitment or any similar arrangement, the Exercise Price
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant then in effect
shall be readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Exercise Price that would then be in
effect and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of each Warrant if no
adjustment had been made on account of such expired rights or warrants.
Issuer Tender or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any subsidiary of the Company
shall consummate a tender or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Stock for a
consideration per share with a Fair Market Value greater than the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock on the date such tender or exchange offer is first publicly announced (the “Announcement
Date”), the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the expiration date for such tender
or exchange offer shall be reduced immediately thereafter to the price determined by multiplying
such Exercise Price by the quotient of (x) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
Announcement Date minus the Premium Per Post-Tender Share divided by (y) the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock on the Announcement Date. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant as in effect immediately prior to such expiration date
shall be increased immediately thereafter to the amount determined by multiplying such number by
the quotient of (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment contemplated
by the immediately preceding sentence divided by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. As used in this Section 5.4 with
respect to any tender or exchange offer, “Premium Per Post-Tender Share” means the quotient
of (x) the amount by which the aggregate Fair Market Value of the consideration paid in such tender
or exchange offer exceeds the aggregate Fair Market Value on the Announcement Date of the shares of
Common Stock purchased therein divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
the close of business on the expiration date for such tender or exchange offer (after giving pro
forma effect to the purchase of shares being purchased in the tender or exchange offer).
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Any
recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets or other transaction, which in each case is effected in
29
such a way that the shares of Common Stock are converted into the right to receive (either
directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities, other equity interests or assets
(including cash) with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock is referred to herein as
“Organic Change.” Prior to the consummation of any Organic Change, the Company shall make
appropriate provision to ensure that each of the Holders shall thereafter have the right to acquire
and receive, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Common Stock immediately
theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such Holder’s Warrants, (x) in the case
of a Mixed Consideration Merger, the Public Stock issued in such Mixed Consideration Merger and (y)
in the case of any other Organic Change, such stock, securities, other equity interests or assets,
in each case as may be issued or payable in connection with the Organic Change with respect to or
in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore acquirable and
receivable upon exercise of such Holder’s Warrants, for an aggregate Exercise Price per Warrant
equal to (i) in the case of a Mixed Consideration Merger, the aggregate Exercise Price per Warrant
as in effect immediately prior to such Mixed Consideration Merger times the Stock Consideration
Ratio and (ii) in the case of any other Organic Change, the aggregate Exercise Price per Warrant as
in effect immediately prior to such Organic Change. In any such case, the Company shall make
appropriate provision to insure that all of the provisions of the Warrants shall thereafter be
applicable to such stock, securities, other equity interests or assets. The Company shall not
effect any such consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets
where the Warrants will be assumed by the successor entity, unless prior to the consummation
thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or
the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument the obligation to deliver to each
such Holder upon exercise of any Warrant, such stock, securities, equity interests or assets
(including cash) as, in accordance with Article 5, such Holder may be entitled to acquire.
This Section 5.5 shall not apply to any Warrants or Common Stock redeemed or sold in
connection with any Organic Change pursuant to Section 6.1, Section 6.2(b),
Section 6.3(a)(i) and Section 6.3(b), provided that, for the avoidance of doubt,
the adjustments set forth in this Section 5.5 shall be applicable to any Warrants that
remain outstanding pursuant to this Agreement in connection with a Public Stock Merger or Mixed
Consideration Merger (including any adjustment applicable in connection with such Public Stock
Merger or Mixed Consideration Merger).
Other Adjustments. The Board shall make appropriate adjustments to the amount of cash
or number of shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, due upon exercise of the Warrants, as may
be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Article 5 and to avoid unjust
or inequitable results as determined in its reasonable good faith judgment, in each case to account
for any adjustment to the Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable on exercise of
Warrants for the relevant Warrant Certificate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an
adjustment to the Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable on exercise of Warrants for
the relevant Warrant Certificate where the record date or effective date (in the case of a
subdivision or combination of the Common Stock) of the event occurs, during the period beginning
on, and including, the Exercise Date and ending on, and including, the related Settlement Date.
Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of each Warrant is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall cause
30
the Warrant Agent promptly to mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder notice
of such adjustment or adjustments and shall promptly deliver to the Warrant Agent a certificate of
a firm of independent public accountants selected by the Board (who may be the regular accountants
employed by the Company) setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of each Warrant after such adjustment, setting forth a brief statement in reasonable
detail of the facts requiring such adjustment and setting forth the computation by which such
adjustment was made. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying on such certificate, and
on any adjustment contained therein, and shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of such
adjustment unless and until it shall have received such certificate, and shall be under no duty or
responsibility with respect to any such certificate, except to exhibit the same from time to time,
to any Holder desiring an inspection thereof during reasonable business hours. The Warrant Agent
shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holders to determine whether any
facts exist that may require any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock or other stock
or property issuable on exercise of the Warrants, or with respect to the nature or extent of any
such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making such adjustment or the
validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or other stock or property
which may be issuable on exercise of the Warrants, or to investigate or confirm whether the
information contained in the above referenced certificate complies with the terms of this Agreement
or any other document. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to
make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or security
instruments or other securities or properties upon the exercise of any Warrant.
CHANGE OF CONTROL.
Redemption in Connection with a Change of Control Event. Upon the occurrence of a
Change of Control Event (other than a Public Stock Merger or Mixed Consideration Merger), at the
election of each Holder in its sole discretion by written notice to the Company or the successor to
the Company on or prior to the Exercise Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder of outstanding
Warrants as of the date of such Change of Control Event, an amount in immediately available funds
equal to the Cash Redemption Value for such Warrants, not later than the date which is ten (10)
Business Days after such Change of Control Event and the Warrants shall thereafter be extinguished.
For purposes of this Section 6.1, the Exercise Date shall mean (a) if the Company entered
into a definitive agreement with respect to a Change of Control Event and has provided to the
Holders notice of the date on which the Change in Control Event will become effective at least
twenty (20) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such event, the tenth (10th) Business Day
prior to such event and (b) otherwise, the fifth (5th) Business Day following the effectiveness of
the Change of Control Event. The “Cash Redemption Value” for any Warrant will equal the
fair value of the Warrant as of the date of such Change of Control Event as determined by an
Independent Financial Expert, by employing a valuation based on a computation of the option value
of each Warrant using the calculation methods and making the assumptions set forth in Exhibit
C. The Cash Redemption Value of the Warrants shall be due and payable within ten (10) Business
Days after the date of the applicable Change of Control Event. If a Holder of Warrants does not
elect to receive the Cash Redemption Value for such Holder’s Warrants as
31
provided by this Section 6.1, such Warrants will remain outstanding as adjusted
pursuant to the provisions of Article 5 hereof.
Public Stock Merger. 5. In connection with a Public Stock Merger, the Company may by
written notice to the Holders not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of
such Public Stock Merger elect to have all the unexercised Warrants remain outstanding after the
Public Stock Merger, in which case the Warrants will remain outstanding as adjusted pursuant to
Section 5.5 and the other provisions of Article 5 hereof.
In the case of any Public Stock Merger with respect to which the Company does not make a
timely election as contemplated by Section 6.2(a) above, the Company shall pay within five
(5) Business Days after the effective date of such Public Stock Merger, to the Warrant Agent on
behalf of each Holder of outstanding Warrants as of the effective date of such Public Stock Merger,
an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the Cash Redemption Value for such
Warrants determined in accordance with Section 6.1 and the Warrants shall be terminated and
extinguished.
Mixed Consideration Merger. 6. In connection with a Mixed Consideration Merger, the
Company may by written notice to the Holders not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the
effective date of such Mixed Consideration Merger elect the following treatment with respect to
each outstanding Warrant: (i) pay to the Holder of such Warrant as of the date of such Mixed
Consideration Merger the product of the Cash Consideration Ratio multiplied by the Cash Redemption
Value for such Warrant, which amount shall be paid in immediately available funds, not later than
the date which is ten (10) Business Days after such Mixed Consideration Merger and (ii) the Warrant
shall remain outstanding after the Mixed Consideration Merger, as further adjusted pursuant to
Section 5.5 and the other provisions of Article 5. The portion of the Cash
Redemption Value of the Warrants payable pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 6.3(a)
shall be due and payable not later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date of the Mixed
Consideration Merger.
In the case of any Mixed Consideration Merger with respect to which the Company does not make
a timely election as contemplated by Section 6.3(a) above, the Company shall pay, within
ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such Mixed Consideration Merger, to the Warrant
Agent on behalf of each Holder of outstanding Warrants as of the effective date of such Mixed
Consideration Merger, an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the Cash Redemption
Value for such Warrants determined in accordance with Section 6.1 and the Warrants shall be
terminated and extinguished.
The Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to make any of
the payments required under this Article 6 unless and until it has been provided with
available cash.
WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS.
The Warrant Certificates shall be issued in registered form only. The Company shall cause to
be kept at the office of the Warrant Agent designated for such purpose a register in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for
32
the registration of Warrant Certificates and of transfers or exchanges of Warrant Certificates
as herein provided (the “Warrant Register”).
At the option of the Holder, Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at such office, and upon
payment of the charges hereinafter provided. Whenever any Warrant Certificates are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by manual
or facsimile signature, and deliver, the Warrant Certificates that the Holder making the exchange
is entitled to receive.
All Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant
Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for
such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Warrant Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Company or the Warrant Agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or otherwise satisfactory
to the Warrant Agent, properly completed and duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. Until a Warrant Certificate is transferred in the Warrant
Register, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the person in whose name the Warrant
Certificate is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Warrants represented thereby for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Neither the Company nor the Warrant
Agent will be liable or responsible for any registration or transfer of any Warrants that are
registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary.
No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Warrant Certificates. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange
of Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty under this Section or any
Section of this Agreement requiring the payment of taxes and other governmental charges unless and
until it is satisfied that all such taxes and/or governmental charges have been paid. The Warrant
Agent shall be deemed satisfied if it receives a certificate from the Company stating that all
required taxes and governmental charges have been paid.
WARRANT HOLDERS.
No Voting Rights. Prior to the exercise of Warrants and full payment of the Exercise
Price thereof, or in the event of Net Share Settlement, prior to the election of a Holder for Net
Share Settlement, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, no Holder of a Warrant
Certificate, in respect of such Warrants, shall be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the
Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to consent, to exercise any preemptive
right (except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, including the subscription rights set
forth in the Investment Agreement), to receive any notice of meetings of stockholders for the
election of directors of the Company or any other matter or to receive any notice of any
proceedings of the Company.
33
Right of Action. All rights of action in respect of this Agreement are vested in the
Holders of the Warrants, and any Holder of Warrants, without the consent of the Warrant Agent or
the Holder of any other Warrant, may, on such Holder’s own behalf and for such Holder’s own
benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company
suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, such Holder’s right to exercise or exchange such
Holder’s Warrants in the manner provided in this Agreement or any other obligation of the Company
under this Agreement.
WARRANT AGENT
Nature of Duties and Responsibilities Assumed. The Company hereby appoints the
Warrant Agent to act as agent of the Company as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Warrant
Agent hereby accepts such appointment as agent of the Company and agrees to perform that agency
upon the express terms and conditions herein set forth (and no implied terms), by all of which the
Company and the Holders, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound. The Warrant Agent shall not
by countersigning Warrant Certificates or by any other act hereunder be deemed to make any
representations as to validity or authorization of the Warrants or the Warrant Certificates (except
as to its countersignature thereon) or of any securities or other property delivered upon exercise
or tender of any Warrant, or as to the accuracy of the computation of the Exercise Price or the
number or kind or amount of stock or other securities or other property deliverable upon exercise
of any Warrant, the independence of any Independent Financial Expert or the correctness of the
representations of the Company made in such certificates that the Warrant Agent receives. The
Warrant Agent shall not have any duty to calculate or determine any adjustments with respect to the
Exercise Price and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in determining the
accuracy or correctness of such calculation. The Warrant Agent shall not (a) be liable for any
recital or statement of fact contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or for any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith on the belief that any Warrant
Certificate or any other documents or any signatures are genuine or properly authorized, (b) be
responsible for any failure on the part of the Company to comply with any of its covenants and
obligations contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates, or (c) be liable for any
act or omission in connection with this Agreement except for its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as each is determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction). The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to accept instructions with respect to the
performance of its duties hereunder from the President, any Vice President or the Secretary of the
Company and to apply to any such officer for instructions (which instructions will be promptly
given in writing when requested) and the Warrant Agent shall not be liable and shall be indemnified
and held harmless for any action taken or suffered to be taken by it in accordance with the
instructions of any such officer, but in its discretion the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof
accept other evidence of such or may require such further or additional evidence as it may deem
reasonable.
The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights and powers hereby vested in it or
perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys, agents or employees,
provided reasonable care has been exercised in the selection and in the continued employment of any
such attorney, agent or employee. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation or duty to
institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or legal proceeding in
34
respect hereof, unless first indemnified to its satisfaction, but this provision shall not
affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper,
whether with or without such indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company in
writing of any claim made or action, suit or proceeding instituted against it arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement.
The Company will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed,
acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be
required by the Warrant Agent in order to enable it to carry out or perform its duties under this
Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of
any action taken or thing suffered by it in reliance upon any notice, direction, consent,
certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been presented or signed by the proper parties.
The Warrant Agent shall act solely as agent of the Company hereunder and does not assume
any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any of the owners or holders of the
Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable except for the failure to perform such duties
as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Warrant Agent, whose duties and obligations shall be determined solely
by the express provisions hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability under this Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising
in connection with this Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under
this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed,
the amounts paid hereunder by the Company to Warrant Agent as fees and charges, but not including
reimbursable expenses.
The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it (which may be counsel to the
Company).
Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent deems 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 may be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by a certificate signed by any authorized officer of the Company and
delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such certificate will be full authorization to the Warrant
Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement in
reliance upon such certificate. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept
instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any one of the authorized
officers of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection
with its duties, and it will not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer.
The Warrant Agent will not be under any duty or responsibility to insure compliance with any
applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance, transfer or exchange
of Warrant Certificates.
The Warrant Agent shall have no duties, responsibilities or obligations as the Warrant Agent
except those which are expressly set forth herein, and in any modification or
35
amendment hereof to which the Warrant Agent has consented in writing, and no duties,
responsibilities or obligations shall be implied or inferred. Without limiting the foregoing,
unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall not be subject to,
nor be required to comply with, or determine if any person or entity has complied with, the Warrant
Certificate or any other agreement between or among the parties hereto, even though reference
thereto may be made in this Warrant Agreement, or to comply with any notice, instruction,
direction, request or other communication, paper or document other than as expressly set
forth in this Warrant Agreement.
In the event the Warrant Agent believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in
any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by
the Warrant Agent hereunder, the Warrant Agent, may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking
any action, and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to the Company or any
Holder or other person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Warrant Agent
receives written instructions signed by the Company which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty
to the satisfaction of the Warrant Agent.
Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent from
time to time compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in accordance with Schedule
B hereto and as the Company and the Warrant Agent may agree from time to time, and to reimburse
the Warrant Agent for reasonable expenses and disbursements actually incurred in connection with
the preparation, delivery, negotiation, amendment, execution and administration of this Agreement
(including the reasonable compensation and out of pocket expenses of its counsel), and further
agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability,
suit, action, proceeding, judgment, claim, settlement, cost or expense incurred without gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, (as each is determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), for any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by the Warrant Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of
this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, indirectly
or directly. The Warrant Agent shall not be obligated to expend or risk its own funds or to take
any action which it believes would expose it to expense or liability or to a risk of incurring
expense or liability, unless it has been furnished with assurances of repayment or indemnity
satisfactory to it.
Warrant Agent May Hold Company Securities. The Warrant Agent and any stockholder,
director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or
other securities of the Company or its Affiliates or become pecuniarily interested in transactions
in which the Company or its Affiliates may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the
Company or its Affiliates or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not the Warrant
Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any
other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 7. No resignation or removal of
the Warrant Agent and no appointment of a successor warrant agent shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor warrant agent as provided herein. The
36
Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liability
hereunder (except liability arising as a result of the Warrant Agent’s own gross negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith) after giving written notice to the Company at least thirty (30)
days prior to the date such resignation will become effective. The Company shall, upon written
request of Holders of a majority of the outstanding Warrants, remove the Warrant Agent upon written
notice provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such removal, and the Warrant Agent
shall thereupon in like manner be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder,
except as aforesaid. The Warrant Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, cause to be mailed at the
Company’s expense (by first-class mail, postage prepaid) to each Holder of a Warrant at his last
address as shown on the register of the Company maintained by the Warrant Agent a copy of said
notice of resignation or notice of removal, as the case may be. Upon such resignation or removal,
the Person holding the greatest number of Warrants as of the date of such event shall appoint in
writing a new warrant agent reasonably acceptable to the Company. If the Person holding the
greatest number of Warrants as of the date of such event shall fail to make such appointment within
a period of twenty (20) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation by the
resigning Warrant Agent or after such removal, then the Company shall appoint a new warrant agent.
Any new warrant agent, whether appointed by a Holder or by the Company, shall be a reputable bank,
trust company or transfer agent doing business under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof, in good standing and having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000.
The combined capital and surplus of any such new warrant agent shall be deemed to be the combined
capital and surplus as set forth in the most recent annual report of its condition published by
such warrant agent prior to its appointment, provided that such reports are published at least
annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal or state supervising or examining
authority. After acceptance in writing of such appointment by the new warrant agent, it shall be
vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named
herein as the Warrant Agent, without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; but if for any
reason it shall be necessary or expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance,
act or deed, the same shall be done at the expense of the Company and shall be legally and validly
executed and delivered by the resigning or removed Warrant Agent. Not later than the effective date
of any such appointment, the Company shall give notice thereof to the resigning or removed Warrant
Agent. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 9.4(a), however, or any
defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation of the Warrant Agent
or the appointment of a new warrant agent, as the case may be.
Any Person into which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent may be merged or any Person
resulting from any consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party or any Person to
which the Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all the assets and
business of the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent shall be a party, shall be a successor
Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act, provided that such Person would be
eligible for appointment as successor to the Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section
9.4(a). Any such successor Warrant Agent shall promptly cause notice of succession as Warrant
Agent to be mailed (by first-class mail, postage prepaid) to each Holder of a Warrant at such
Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company maintained by the Warrant Agent.
37
Damages. No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any other party for any
consequential, indirect, punitive, special or incidental damages under any provision of this
Agreement or for any consequential, indirect, punitive, special or incidental damages arising out
of any act or failure to act hereunder even if that party has been advised of or has foreseen the
possibility of such damages.
Force Majeure. In no event shall the Warrant Agent be responsible or liable for any
failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or
caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without
limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military
disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or
malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services.
Survival. The provisions of this Article 9 shall survive the termination of
this Warrant Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and
warrants that the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2,
3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 of the Investment Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement and any other
representations and warranties made by the Company in Article III of the Investment Agreement and
Stock Purchase Agreements to the extent relating to the Warrants, are true and accurate in all
respects and not misleading in any respect.
COVENANTS.
Reservation of Common Stock for Issuance on Exercise of Warrants. The Company
covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of
its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of Warrants
as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the
exercise of all Warrants issuable hereunder plus such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
then be issuable upon the exercise of other outstanding warrants, options and rights (whether or
not vested), the settlement of any forward sale, swap or other derivative contract, and the
conversion of all outstanding convertible securities or other instruments convertible into Common
Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock
which shall be issuable shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable.
Notice of Distributions. At any time when the Company declares any Distribution on
its Common Stock, it shall give notice to the Holders of all the then outstanding Warrants of any
such declaration not less than 15 days prior to the related record date for payment of the
Distribution so declared.
Cancellation of Warrants. Upon the effectiveness of the Plan and in accordance with
the Investment Agreement and/or Stock Purchase Agreements, as applicable, the Warrants,
38
regardless of whether or not vested, shall be cancelled for no consideration and all rights
under this Agreement and the Warrants shall thereupon terminate.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Money and Other Property Deposited with the Warrant Agent. Any moneys, securities or
other property which at any time shall be deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the
Warrant Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be and are hereby assigned, transferred and set over
to the Warrant Agent in trust for the purpose for which such moneys, securities or other property
shall have been deposited; but such moneys, securities or other property need not be segregated
from other funds, securities or other property except to the extent required by law. The Warrant
Agent shall distribute any money deposited with it for payment and distribution to a Holder to an
account designated by such Holder in such amount as is appropriate. Any money deposited with the
Warrant Agent for payment and distribution to the Holders that remains unclaimed for two years
after the date the money was deposited with the Warrant Agent shall be paid to the Company. The
Warrant Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on any monies at any time received by
it pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all transfer, stamp and other similar taxes
that may be imposed in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Warrants or in respect of the
issuance or delivery by the Company of any securities upon exercise of the Warrants with respect
thereto. The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in
connection with any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrants, certificate for shares of
Common Stock or other securities underlying the Warrants or payment of cash to any Person other
than the Holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise or purchase of a Warrant,
and in case of such transfer or payment, the Warrant Agent and the Company shall not be required to
issue any security or to pay any cash until such tax or charge has been paid or it has been
established to the Warrant Agent’s and the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge
is due. The Company and each Initial Investor agree that neither the issuance nor exercise of the
Warrants is governed by Section 83(a) of the Code or otherwise a compensatory transaction, and the
Company agrees that it will not deduct any amount as compensation in connection with such issuance
or exercise for federal income tax purpose. The Company and each Initial Investor agree that for
federal income tax purposes, the Warrants have been granted as an option premium in exchange for
each Initial Investor agreeing, at the option of the Company, to make the equity investment
described in the Investment Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreements, as applicable.
Surrender of Certificates. Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for exercise or
purchase shall, if surrendered to the Company, be delivered to the Warrant Agent, and all Warrant
Certificates surrendered or so delivered to the Warrant Agent shall be promptly cancelled by the
Warrant Agent and shall not be reissued by the Company. The Warrant Agent shall destroy such
cancelled Warrant Certificates.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Warrant Certificates. If (a) any mutilated
Warrant Certificate is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or (b) the Company and the Warrant Agent
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Warrant
39
Certificate, and there is delivered to the Company and the Warrant Agent such appropriate
affidavit of loss, applicable processing fee and a corporate bond of indemnity as may be required
by them and satisfactory to them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to
the Company or the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Warrant Agent shall
countersign and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Warrant Certificate or in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and for
a like aggregate number of Warrants.
Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate under this Section 12.4, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may
be imposed in relation thereto and other expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of
the Warrant Agent and of counsel to the Company) in connection therewith.
Every new Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 12.4 in
lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant Certificate shall constitute an original contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant Certificate shall
be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement
equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates properly completed and duly
executed and delivered hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 12.4 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, destroyed lost
or stolen Warrant Certificates.
Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing the Warrants and shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of the Warrants shall not be required to contain any legend referenced in
Sections 2.1, 3.6(e) and 3.6(f) (A) while a registration statement (solely
for the purposes of this and the immediately following paragraph, such term to include a
Registration Statement) covering the resale of the Warrants or the shares of Common Stock is
effective under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of any such Warrants or shares of
Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) following receipt of a legal opinion of counsel to Holder
that the remaining Warrants or shares of Common Stock held by Holder are eligible for resale
without volume limitations or other limitations under Rule 144. In addition, the Company and the
Warrant Agent will agree to the removal of all legends with respect to Warrants or shares of Common
Stock deposited with DTC from time to time in anticipation of sale in accordance with the volume
limitations and other limitations under Rule 144, subject to the Company’s approval of appropriate
procedures, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Following the time at which any such legend is no longer required (as provided above) for
certain Warrants or shares of Common Stock, the Company shall promptly, following the delivery by
Holder to the Warrant Agent of a legended certificate representing such Warrants or shares of
Common Stock, as applicable, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate
representing such Warrants or shares of Common Stock that is free from such legend. In the event
any of the legends referenced in Sections 2.1, 3.6(e) and or 3.6(f) are
removed from any of the Warrants or shares of Common Stock, and thereafter the effectiveness of a
registration
40
statement covering such Warrants or shares of Common Stock is suspended or the Company
determines that a supplement or amendment thereto is required by applicable securities Laws, then
the Company may require that such legends, as applicable, be placed on any such applicable Warrants
or shares of Common Stock that cannot then be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement
or under Rule 144 and Holder shall cooperate in the replacement of such legend. Such legend shall
thereafter be removed when such Warrants or shares of Common Stock may again be sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement or under Rule 144.
Notices. 8. Any notice, demand or delivery authorized by this Agreement shall be
sufficiently given or made when mailed if sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to

Any notice required to be given by the Company to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement,
shall be made by mailing by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Holders at their
respective addresses shown on the register of the Company maintained by the Warrant Agent. The
Company hereby irrevocably authorizes the Warrant Agent, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, to mail any such notice upon receipt thereof from the Company. Any notice that is mailed
in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given when mailed,
whether or not the Holder receives the notice.
Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Warrant issued hereunder and
all rights arising hereunder shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York. In
connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
Warrants, the parties hereto and each Holder irrevocably submit to (i) the exclusive jurisdiction
of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York until the chapter 11
cases of the Company and its Affiliates are closed, and (ii) the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
federal or state court located within the County of New York, State of New York.
42
Persons Benefiting. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Company and the Warrant Agent, and their respective successors, assigns, beneficiaries,
executors and administrators, and the Holders from time to time of the Warrants. The Holders of
the Warrants are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and each such Holder of
Warrants is hereby conferred the benefits, rights and remedies under or by reason of the provisions
of this Agreement as if a signatory hereto. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be
construed to confer upon any Person, other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders of
the Warrants, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any part hereof.
Relationship to Investment Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreements. The Warrants
issued hereunder have been fully paid upon issuance and shall remain issued, outstanding and
binding on the parties in accordance with the terms hereof notwithstanding any failure of the
transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreements, as applicable,
to be consummated, any default by any party to the Investment Agreement or Stock Purchase
Agreements, as applicable, or the invalidity or unenforceability thereof. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, if a failure by any Purchaser to pay all amounts payable by such Purchaser
under Article I and Article II of the Investment Agreement or a Stock Purchase Agreements, as
applicable, causes the termination of the Investment Agreement or a Stock Purchase Agreement, as
applicable, by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(c)(iii) therein, each Holder that is a member
of the Purchaser Group of such Purchaser agrees that as liquidated damages for such failure and
without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Company under the Investment Agreement or Stock
Purchase Agreements, as applicable, any Warrants held by such Holder shall be deemed cancelled,
null and void and of no further effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding
sentence applies only to a Holder that is a member of a Purchaser Group where the applicable
Purchaser fails to pay all amounts payable by such Purchaser under Article I and Article II of the
Investment Agreement or a Stock Purchase Agreement, as applicable, causing the termination of the
Investment Agreement or a Stock Purchase Agreement, as applicable, by the Company pursuant to
Section 11.1(c)(iii) thereof, and not to any permitted transferee of such member or any other
Person.
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each or
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together constitute one and the same
instrument.
Amendments. 9. The Company and the Warrant Agent may from time to time supplement or
amend this Agreement without the approval of any Holder in order to cure any ambiguity, to correct
or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provisions herein, or to make any other provisions with regard to matters or questions arising
hereunder which the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable and, in each
case, which shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holder.
In addition to the foregoing, with the consent of the Supermajority Holders, the Company and
the Warrant Agent may modify this Agreement for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Warrant
43
Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders hereunder; provided, however,
that no modification effecting the terms upon which the Warrants are exercisable, redeemable or
transferable, or reduction in the percentage required for consent to modification of this
Agreement, may be made without the consent of each Holder affected thereby.
Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Articles and Sections of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction
of any of the provisions hereof.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict, discrepancy, or ambiguity between the terms
and conditions contained in this Agreement and any schedules or attachments hereto, the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement shall take precedence.
Specific Performance. The parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the
terms of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives (i) any defenses in any action
for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any
requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable
relief.

This certifies that [HOLDER] , or registered assigns, is the registered holder of the
number of Warrants set forth above. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof (a “Holder”),
subject to the provisions contained herein and in the Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement
referred to below, to purchase from GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES, INC. (the “Company”), a
number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”), equal to
$15 divided by the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement referred to below), for a
price per share of Common Stock equal to the Exercise Price.
This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with the Warrant and Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2010 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company
and Mellon Investor Services LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, as warrant agent (the
“Warrant Agent”, which term includes any successor Warrant Agent under the Warrant
Agreement), and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all
of which terms and provisions the Holder of this Warrant Certificate consents
by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and
made a part hereof. Reference is hereby made to the Warrant Agreement for a full statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the
Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders of the Warrants.

As provided in the Warrant Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein set
forth, the Warrants shall be exercisable from time to time on any Business Day and ending on the
Expiration Date.
The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each
Warrant are subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrant Agreement.
All shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the exercise of Warrants shall, upon
such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
In order to exercise a Warrant, the registered holder hereof must surrender this Warrant
Certificate at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent, with the Exercise Subscription Form
on the reverse hereof duly executed by the Holder hereof, with signature guaranteed as therein
specified, together with any required payment in full of the Exercise Price (unless the Holder

effect for the share(s) of Underlying Common Stock as to which the Warrant(s) represented by this
Warrant Certificate are submitted for exercise, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof and
of the Warrant Agreement.
The Company shall pay all transfer, stamp and other similar taxes that may be imposed in
respect of the issuance or delivery of the Warrants or in respect of the issuance or delivery by
the Company of any securities upon exercise of the Warrants with respect thereto. The Company shall
not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer
involved in the issue of any Warrants, certificate for shares of Common Stock or other securities
underlying the Warrants or payment of cash in each case to any Person other than the Holder of a
Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise or purchase of a Warrant, and in case of such
transfer or payment, the Warrant Agent and the Company shall not be required to issue any security
or to pay any cash until such tax or charge has been paid or it has been established to the Warrant
Agent’s and the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.
This Warrant Certificate and all rights hereunder are transferable by the registered holder
hereof, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, in whole or in part, on the register of the
Company, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate for registration of transfer at the office of
the Warrant Agent maintained for such purpose in the City of New York, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant
Agent duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with
signature guaranteed as specified in the attached Form of Assignment. Upon any
2
partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to such holder a new Warrant Certificate
or Certificates with respect to any portion not so transferred.
No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of
the Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer under applicable law and this Warrant
Agreement, each taker and holder of this Warrant Certificate by taking or holding the same,
consents and agrees that this Warrant Certificate when duly endorsed in blank shall be deemed
negotiable and that when this Warrant Certificate shall have been so endorsed, the holder hereof
may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and all other Persons dealing with this Warrant
Certificate as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the Person entitled to exercise the
rights represented hereby, or to the transfer hereof on the register of the Company maintained by
the Warrant Agent, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding, but until such transfer on such
register, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the registered Holder hereof as the owner for
all purposes.

Warrant Agreement.

EXHIBIT C
Option Pricing Assumptions / Methodology
For the purpose of this Exhibit C:
“Acquiror” means (A) the third party that has entered into definitive document for a
transaction, or (B) the offeror in the event of a tender or exchange offer.
“Reference Date” means the date of consummation of a Change of Control Event.
The Cash Redemption Value of the Warrants shall be determined using the Black-Scholes Model as
applied to third party options (i.e., options issued by a third party that is not affiliated with
the issuer of the underlying stock). For purposes of the model, the following terms shall have the
respective meanings set forth below:
Underlying Security Price: | • | In the event of a merger or other acquisition, | ||||
(A) | that is an “all cash” deal, the cash per share of Common Stock to be paid to the Company’s stockholders in the transaction; | |||||
(B) | that is an “all Public Stock” deal, | |||||
(1) that is a “fixed exchange ratio” transaction, a “fixed value” transaction where as a result of a cap, floor, collar or similar mechanism the number of Acquiror’s shares to be paid per share of Common Stock to the Company’s stockholders in the transaction is greater or less than it would otherwise have been or a transaction that is not otherwise described in this clause (B)(1) or clause (B)(2) below, the product of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Acquiror’s common stock on the day preceding the date of the Preliminary Change of Control Event and (ii) the number of Acquiror’s shares per share of Common Stock to be paid to the Company’s stockholders in the transaction (provided that the Independent Financial Expert shall make appropriate adjustments to the Fair Market Value of the Acquiror’s common stock referred to above as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Exhibit C and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in its reasonable good faith judgment, in each case to account for any event impacting the Acquiror’s common stock that is analogous to any of the events described in Article V of this Agreement if the record date, ex date or effective date of that event occurs during or after the 10 trading |
day period
over which such Fair Market Value is measured) and (2) that is a “fixed value” transaction not covered by clause (B)(1) above, the value per share of Common Stock to be paid to the Company’s stockholders in the transaction; |
||||||
(C) | that is a transaction contemplating various forms of consideration for each share of Common Stock, | |||||
(1) the cash portion, if any, shall be valued as described in clause (A) above, | ||||||
(2) the Public Stock portion shall be valued as described in clause (B) above and | ||||||
(3) any other forms of consideration shall be valued by the Independent Financial Expert valuing the Warrants, using one or more valuation methods that the Independent Financial Expert in its best professional judgment determines to be most appropriate, assuming such consideration (if securities) is fully distributed and is to be sold in an arm’s-length transaction and there was no compulsion on the part of any party to such sale to buy or sell and taking into account all relevant factors and without applying any discounts to such consideration. | ||||||
• | In the event of all other Change of Control Event events, the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date of the Change of Control Event. | |||||
Exercise Price: | The Exercise Price as adjusted and then in effect for the Warrant. | |||||
Dividend Rate: | 0 (which reflects the fact that the antidilution adjustment provisions cover all dividends). | |||||
Interest Rate: | The annual yield as of the Reference Date (expressed on a semi-annual basis in the manner in which U.S. treasury notes are ordinarily quoted) of the U.S. treasury note maturing approximately at the Expiration Date as selected by the Independent Financial Expert. | |||||
Put or Call: | Call | |||||
Time to Expiration | The number of days from the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 3.3) to the Reference Date divided by 365. | |||||
Settlement Date: | The scheduled date of payment of the Cash Redemption Value. |
Volatility: | For calculation of Cash Redemption Value in connection with a Change of Control Event with respect to (A) the Warrants or the New Warrants, 20% or (B) the GGO Warrants, the lesser of (1) 30% or (2) the volatility of General Growth Opportunities, Inc. as determined by an Independent Financial Expert engaged to make the calculation, who shall be instructed to assume for purposes of the determination of volatility referred to in this clause (B)(2) that the Change of Control Event had not occurred; provided, however, that if the Warrants, New Warrants or GGO Warrants are adjusted as a result of a Change of Control Event, volatility for purposes of calculating Cash Redemption Value in connection with succeeding Change of Control Events with respect to such warrants (or their successors) shall be as determined by an Independent Financial Expert engaged to make the calculation, who shall be instructed to assume for purposes of the calculation that such succeeding Change of Control Event had not occurred. |
Such valuation of the Warrant shall not be discounted in any way.
