SECTION 3. Issuance of Warrants; Form, Execution and Delivery.

(a) Issuance of Warrants. On the Effective Date or a date that is as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, the Warrants will be issued by the Company in the amounts and to the recipients specified in the Plan. Such Warrants shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued. In accordance with Section 4 hereof and the Plan, the Company will cause to be issued to the Depository, one or more Global Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants not evidenced by Individual Warrant Certificates. In accordance with Section 4 hereof and the Plan, the Company will cause to be issued to the applicable registered Holders, one or more Individual Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants. Each Warrant evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate or Individual Warrant Certificate entitles the Holder, upon proper exercise and payment of the Exercise Price, to receive from the Company, as adjusted as provided herein, one share of Common Stock at the Exercise Price per share specified therein. The shares of Common Stock (as provided pursuant to Section 6 hereof) or Other Securities deliverable upon proper exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the

“Warrant Shares”. The maximum number of Warrant Shares shall be 4,736,842 shares, as such amount may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent in writing upon the occurrence of the Effective Date and, if such notification is given orally, the Company shall confirm the same in writing on or prior to the Business Day next following. Until such notice is received by the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent may presume conclusively for all purposes that the Effective Date has not occurred.

(b) Form of Warrant. Subject to Section 4 of this Agreement, the Warrants shall be issued (i) in the form of one or more global certificates (the “Global Warrant Certificates”)in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 attached hereto with the form of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B-1 attached hereto and/or (ii) in certificated form in the form of one or more individual certificates (the “Individual Warrant Certificates”) in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto with the form of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B-2 attached hereto, respectively. The Global Warrant Certificates and Individual Warrant Certificates (collectively, the “Warrant Certificates”) may bear such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules and regulations of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) in the case of the Global Warrant Certificates, any law or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with any rules of any securities exchange or as may be determined, consistently herewith, by the Appropriate Officers executing such Warrant Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Warrant Certificates, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Warrant Agent. The Global Warrant Certificates shall be deposited on or after the date hereof with or on behalf of the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the Depository’s nominee and their respective successors. Each Warrant Certificate shall represent such number of the outstanding Warrants as specified therein, and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Execution of Warrants. Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or any Executive Vice President (each, an “Appropriate Officer”), and by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary. Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a facsimile or electronic signature of any such Appropriate Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile or electronic signature of any Appropriate Officer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary who shall have been an Appropriate Officer, the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary at the time of entering into this Agreement or issuing such Warrant Certificate. If any Appropriate Officer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such Appropriate Officer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent or disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though

such Appropriate Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary had not ceased to be such Appropriate Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper Appropriate Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such Appropriate Officer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary. Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by the Warrant Agent and shall represent one or more whole Warrants.

(d) Countersignature. Upon receipt of a written order of the Company and Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall countersign one or more Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants and shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to or upon the written order of the Company. Such written order of the Company shall specifically state the number of Warrants that are to be issued as a Warrant Certificate. Each Warrant shall be, and shall remain, subject to the provisions of this Agreement until such time as all of the Warrants evidenced thereby shall have been duly exercised or shall have expired or been canceled in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder of Warrants shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (a copy of which is available on request to the Secretary of the Company) and any amendments thereto as fully and effectively as if such Holder had signed the same. No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual, facsimile or electronic 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 so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder. The Warrant Agent shall keep, at an office designated for such purpose, books (the “Warrant Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register any Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on the Holder of the Warrant in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to effect an exchange or register a transfer unless and until any payments required by the immediately preceding sentence have been made. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of any Warrant in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, the Warrant Agent and the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing made in a Warrant Certificate by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the Holder of the Warrant thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 4. Transfer or Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or Beneficial Interests Therein. The transfer and exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Agreement and the procedures of the Depository therefor.

(b) Exchange of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for an Individual Warrant Certificate.

(i) Any Holder of a beneficial interest in any whole number of Warrants represented by a Global Warrant Certificate may, upon request, exchange such beneficial interest for a Warrant represented by an Individual Warrant Certificate. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent from the Depositary or its nominee of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate, and all other necessary information, the Warrant Agent shall cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate to be reduced by the number of Warrants to be represented by an Individual Warrant Certificate to be issued in exchange for the beneficial interest of such Person in the Global Warrant Certificate and, following such reduction, (x) the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall either manually or by facsimile countersign an Individual Warrant Certificate representing the appropriate number of Warrants and (y) the Warrant Agent shall deliver such Individual Warrant Certificate to the registered Holder thereof.

(ii) Warrants represented by an Individual Warrant Certificate issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be issued in such names as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent; provided, that such name shall not be that of a Person to whom the Holder would not have been permitted to sell or otherwise transfer Warrants pursuant to Section 4(g) if such exchange was a transfer of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall deliver Individual Warrant Certificates evidencing such issuance to the Persons in whose names such Individual Warrant Certificates are so issued.

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Individual Warrant Certificates. When the registered Holder of an Individual Warrant Certificate has presented to the Warrant Agent a written request:

(i) to register the transfer of any Individual Warrant Certificate; or

(ii) to exchange any Individual Warrant Certificate for an Individual Warrant Certificate representing an equal number of Warrants of other authorized denominations,

the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if (x) its customary requirements for such transactions are met and (y) such transfer or exchange otherwise satisfies the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 4(g)); provided, however, that the Warrant Agent has received a written instruction of transfer or exchange, as applicable, in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, properly completed and duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing. A party requesting transfer of Warrants must provide any evidence of authority that may be required by the Warrant Agent, including but not limited to, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association.

(d) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Individual Warrant Certificates for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate. An Individual Warrant Certificate may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of appropriate instruments of transfer with respect to an Individual Warrant Certificate, in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to direct the Depositary to make, an endorsement on the Global Warrant Certificate to reflect an increase in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Individual Warrant Certificate, and all other necessary information, then the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Individual Warrant Certificate on the Warrant Register and cause, or direct the Depositary to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate to be increased accordingly. If no Global Warrant Certificates are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall either manually or by facsimile countersign a new Global Warrant Certificate representing the appropriate number of Warrants.

(e) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provision set forth in Section 4(f)), a Global Warrant Certificate may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

(f) Cancellation of Warrant Certificate. At such time as all beneficial interests in Warrant Certificates have been exchanged for Common Stock in accordance herewith, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, all Warrant Certificates shall be returned to, or cancelled and retained pursuant to applicable law by, the Warrant Agent, upon written instructions from the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent.

(g) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4, Warrant Certificates, as required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 and for the purpose of any distribution of additional Warrant Certificates contemplated by Section 6 hereof.

(ii) All Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(iii) So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Warrant Certificate, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement, including, without limitation, for the purposes

of (a) giving notices with respect to such Warrants and (b) registering transfers with respect to such Warrants. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, in its capacity as registrar for such Warrants, will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to beneficial interests in a Global Warrant Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

(iv) The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of all information required to be delivered hereunder, from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrants in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of Warrant Certificates, representing such Warrants at the Warrant Agent Office referred to in Section 14 hereof (the “Warrant Agent Office”), duly endorsed, and accompanied by a completed form of assignment substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, hereto duly signed by the Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, such signature to be guaranteed by a participant in a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program at a guarantee level acceptable to the Warrant Agent. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee.

(v) The Warrant Agent shall not undertake the duties and obligations of a stock transfer agent under this Agreement, or otherwise, including, without limitation, the duty to receive, issue or transfer Shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

SECTION 5. Duration and Exercise of Warrants.

(a) Expiration Date. The Warrants shall expire on September 9, 2020, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, which is the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Effective Date of the Plan (the “Expiration Date”). After 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date, the Warrants will become void and of no value, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time.

(b) Exercise Price. On the Effective Date, the Exercise Price for the Warrants shall be $14.04 per Share (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 6 hereof).

(i) Cash Payment. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including the adjustments contained in Section 6, each Warrant evidenced by the Warrant Certificate shall entitle the Holder thereof to purchase from the Company (and the Company shall issue and sell to such Holder) one fully paid and nonassessable Share at a price equal to the Exercise Price. All or any of the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate may be exercised by the registered Holder thereof during normal business hours on any Business Day, by delivering (A) written notice of such election (“Warrant Exercise Notice”) to exercise the Warrants to the Company and the Warrant Agent at the addresses set forth in Section 14 hereof no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, which Warrant Exercise Notice shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 in the case of Warrants represented by a Global Warrant Certificate and Exhibit A-2 in the case of Warrants represented by Individual Warrant Certificates; and (B) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Settlement Date, such Warrants to the Warrant Agent (by book-entry

transfer through the facilities of the Depository, if such Warrants are represented by a Global Warrant Certificate). Such Warrant Certificate and the documents referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment in full in respect of each Warrant that is exercised, which shall be made by certified or official bank or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer to the Warrant Agent of the Exercise Amount in immediately available funds. Such payment shall be in an amount equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock designated in such Warrant Exercise Notice multiplied by the Exercise Price for the Warrants being exercised, in each case as adjusted herein. Upon such surrender and payment, such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Shares (or Other Securities) determined as provided in Section 3, and as and if adjusted pursuant to Section 6.

(ii) Cashless Exercise. Provided the Common Stock is then listed or admitted for trading on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market or comparable system, and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the holder shall have the right, in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash, to instruct the Company to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants (the “Cashless Exercise”) in accordance with the following formula:

N = P ÷ M

where:

N = the number of shares of Common Stock to be subtracted from the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants;

P = the aggregate Exercise Price which would otherwise be payable in cash for all of the shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are being exercised; and

M = the Market Price of a share of Common Stock determined as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day the Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered to the Warrant Agent.

If the Exercise Price exceeds the Market Price at the time of exercise, then no shares of Common Stock will be issuable via the Cashless Exercise.

(d) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on such exercise will be determined by the Company (with written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent) using the formula set forth in Section 5(c). The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether the Company’s determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on such exercise is accurate or correct, nor shall the Warrant Agent have any duty or obligation to take any action with regard to such warrant exercise prior to being notified by the Company of the relevant number of shares of Common Stock to be issued.

(e) Each Warrant not exercised pursuant to this Agreement on or prior to the Expiration Date shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.

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

(g) The Warrant Agent shall:

(i) examine all Warrant Exercise Notices and all other documents delivered to it by or on behalf of Holders as contemplated hereunder to ascertain whether, on their face, such Warrant Exercise Notices and any such other documents have been executed and completed in accordance with their terms;

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

(iii) advise the Company, no later than five Business Days after receipt of a Warrant Exercise Notice, of (x) the receipt of such Warrant Exercise Notice and the number of Warrants exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (y) the instructions with respect to delivery of the Shares deliverable upon such exercise, subject to the timely receipt from the Depository of the necessary information, and (z) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require;

(iv) if requested by the Company and provided with the Common Stock and all other necessary information by or on behalf of the Company for delivery to the Depository, liaise with the Depository and effect such delivery to the relevant accounts at the Depository in accordance with its requirements; and

(v) as soon as practicable, pay to the Company all funds received by the Warrant Agent in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price.

(h) All questions as to the validity, form and sufficiency (including time of receipt) of a Warrant exercise shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion in good faith, which determination shall be final and binding. The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of and, except to the extent such liability arises from the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company for acting or refraining from acting upon, or as a result of such determination by, the Company. The Company reserves the right to reject any and all Warrant Exercise Notices not in proper form or for which any corresponding agreement by the Company to exchange would, in the opinion of the Company, be unlawful as determined in good faith. Such determination by the Company shall be final and binding on the Holders absent manifest error. Moreover, the Company reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to the exercise of Warrants or defects in Warrant Exercise Notices with regard to any particular exercise of Warrants. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be under any duty to give notice to the

Holders of any irregularities in any exercise of Warrants, nor shall they incur any liability for the failure to give such notice.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the exercise of any Warrant (and in any event not later than 10 Business Days thereafter), the Company shall issue, or otherwise deliver, in authorized denominations to or upon the order of the Holder, either: (A) if such Holder holds the Warrants being exercised through the Depository’s book-entry transfer facilities, by same-day or next-day credit to the Depository for the account of such Holder or for the account of a participant in the Depository the number of Shares to which such Holder is entitled, in each case registered in such name and delivered to such account as directed in the Warrant Exercise Notice by such Holder or by the direct participant in the Depository through which such Holder is acting; or (B) if such holder holds the Warrants being exercised in the form of Individual Warrant Certificates, a book-entry interest in the Warrant Shares on the books of the Company’s transfer agent or, at the Company’s option, by delivery to the address designated by such Holder in its Warrant Exercise Notice of a physical certificate or certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares to which such Holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such holder. Such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date of the delivery thereof.

If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of Warrants are exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date, the Warrant Agent shall cause a notation to be made to the records maintained by the Depository. The Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares are to be issued (or such Warrant Shares are to be registered, in the case of a book-entry transfer) upon exercise of a Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date such Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered.

(j) Notwithstanding any adjustment pursuant to Section 6 in the number of Shares or Other Securities purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall not be required to issue Warrants to purchase fractions of Shares or Other Securities, or to issue fractions of Shares or Other Securities upon exercise of the Warrants, or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Shares. In the event of an adjustment that results in a Warrant becoming exercisable for fractional Shares, the number of Shares or other securities subject to such Warrant shall be adjusted upward or downward to the nearest whole number of Shares or Other Securities (with one half rounded up). All Warrants held by a holder shall be aggregated for purposes of determining any such adjustment.

(k) If all of the Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate have been exercised, such Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Warrant Certificate shall then be disposed of by or at the direction of the Company in accordance with applicable law. The Warrant Agent shall (x) advise an authorized representative of the Company as directed by the Company by the end of each day or on the next Business Day following each day on which Warrants were exercised, of (i) the number of Shares issued upon exercise of a Warrant, (ii) the notation to the records of the Depository reflecting the balance, if any, of the Shares issuable after such exercise of the Warrant and (iii) such other information as

the Company shall reasonably require and (y) concurrently pay to the Company all funds received by the Warrant Agent in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. The Warrant Agent shall confirm such information to the Company in writing as promptly as practicable.

(l) The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder of the Warrants underlying such Warrant Shares, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

(m) The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices given or received hereunder for a period no longer than seven (7) years from the Effective Date.

SECTION 6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Purchasable or Number of Warrants.

(a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations of Shares. If after the date hereof the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a dividend or share distribution to all holders of Common Stock, in each case payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a subdivision, combination or other reclassification of shares of Common Stock, then, in the case of such events, the amount of Common Stock issuable for each Warrant and the Exercise Price will be adjusted as follows: on the day following the date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or share distribution, and in the cases of subdivisions, combinations and other reclassifications, on the day following the effective date thereof: (a) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted to a new Exercise Price that bears the same relationship to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event as the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and (b) the number of Shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant after such event shall be the number of Shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the number of Shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon the exercise of such Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment. A distribution to holders of the Common Stock of rights expiring less than thirty (30) days after the issuance thereof entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Market Price shall be deemed a dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued in such distribution (or actually issued under any issued rights that are convertible into or exercisable for the Common Stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid to exercise such rights divided by (y) the Market Price, and the amount of Common Stock issuable for each Warrant and the Exercise Price will be adjusted in accordance with the foregoing sentence. For purposes of this Section 6(a), if the rights constitute securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in

determining the price payable for Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion.

(b) Distributions. If after the date hereof the Company shall distribute to all holders of its shares of Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash distributions made as a dividend payable out of earnings or out of surplus legally available for dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or rights to subscribe for shares of Common Stock expiring at least thirty (30) days after the issuance thereof, then in each such case (i) the Exercise Price in effect on the trading day immediately following the close of business on the record date for such distribution shall be decreased to an amount determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Market Price of a share of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Ex-Date less the Market Price of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such subscription rights per share of Common Stock outstanding on the trading day immediately prior to the Ex-Date (determined for such purpose on the basis of the aggregate assets, evidences of indebtedness and/or rights distributed with respect to one share of Common Stock as if, for purposes of the definition of “Market Price”, such assets, evidences of indebtedness and/or rights were an “Other Security”) (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a statement filed with the Warrant Agent) and the denominator of which is the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Ex-Date and (ii) the number of Shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant after such event shall be the number of Shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the number of Shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon the exercise of such Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment. Such adjustments shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective retroactively on the date immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(c) Adjustments for Mergers and Consolidations. In case the Company, after the date hereof, shall merge, consolidate or otherwise engage in a recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or business combination with another Person, then, in the case of any such transaction, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and terms and in the manner provided in this Agreement, the Holders of the Warrants, upon the exercise thereof at any time after the consummation of such transaction (subject to the Expiration Date), shall be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Exercise Price in effect at the time of the transaction for all Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of the Common Stock or Other Securities issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the greatest amount of securities, cash or other property to which such Holder would have been entitled as a holder of Common Stock (or Other Securities) upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by the Warrants held by such Holder immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) above; provided, however, that each Holder, at the election of the Company, may be required at the consummation of any such transaction to receive solely cash in an amount determined reasonably and in good faith by the board of directors of the Company to equal the

excess of (i) the product of (A) the value of the per share consideration to be received by the holders of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) in such transaction multiplied by (B) the number of Shares subject to the Warrants held by such Holder, over (ii) the aggregate Exercise Price payable by such Holder upon exercise in full of such Warrants, and upon consummation of such transaction the Holders shall surrender all Warrant Certificates to the Warrant Agent for cancellation.

(d) Notice of Adjustment in Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price and securities issuable shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 6, the Company shall forthwith file with the Warrant Agent a statement, signed by an Appropriate Officer, stating in detail the facts requiring such adjustment, the Exercise Price that will be effective after such adjustment and the impact of such adjustment on the number and kind of securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall also cause a notice setting forth any such adjustments to be sent by mail, first class, postage prepaid, to each registered Holder at its address appearing on the Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty with respect to any statement filed with it except to keep the same on file and available for inspection by registered Holders of Warrants during reasonable business hours. The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of a Warrant to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment to the Exercise Price or securities issuable, or with respect to the nature or extent of any adjustment of the Exercise Price or securities issuable when made or with respect to the method employed in making such adjustment.

(e) Other Notices. In case the Company after the date hereof shall propose to take any action of the type described in subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 6, the Company shall give notice to the Warrant Agent and to each registered Holder in the manner set forth in subsection (d) of this Section 6, which notice shall specify, in the case of action of the type specified in subsection (a) or (b), the date on which a record shall be taken with respect to any such action. Such notice shall be given, in the case of any action of the type specified in subsection (a) or (b), at least ten (10) days prior to the record date with respect thereto. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action. Where appropriate, such notice may be given in advance and may be included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 6.

(f) No Change in Warrant Terms on Adjustment. Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares (or any inclusion of Other Securities) issuable upon exercise, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same prices and number of shares as are stated in the similar Warrants issuable initially, or at some subsequent time, pursuant to this Agreement, and the Exercise Price and such number of shares issuable upon exercise specified thereon shall be deemed to have been so adjusted.

(g) Treasury Shares. Shares of Common Stock at any time owned by the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of any computation under this Section 6.

SECTION 7. Cancellation of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall cancel all Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange, substitution, transfer or exercise in whole or in

part. Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall thereafter be disposed of by the Warrant Agent upon written instructions from the Company satisfactory to the Warrant Agent.

SECTION 8. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent from any Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Holder’s Warrant Certificate and a surety bond or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to them, and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and the Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equal number of Warrants to such Holder; provided in the case of mutilation, no bond or indemnity shall be required if such Warrant Certificate in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company or the Warrant Agent for cancellation. Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate under this Section 8, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection therewith. Every new Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 8 in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be entitled to the same benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. The provisions of this Section 8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates.

SECTION 9. Merger, Consolidation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company will not effect a merger or consolidation unless, prior to the consummation of such transaction, each Person (other than the Company) that may be required to deliver any Common Stock, Other Securities, securities, cash or property upon the exercise of any Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to the Warrant Agent, the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and under each of the Warrants, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver such shares of Common Stock, Other Securities, cash or property as may be required pursuant to Section 6 hereof or the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document, and shall provide for adjustments equivalent to the adjustments provided for in Section 6 hereof.

SECTION 10. Reservation of Shares; Certain Actions.

(a) Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock (or out of authorized Other Securities), solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of Warrants, the full number of Shares (and Other Securities) from time to time issuable upon the exercise of all Warrants and any other outstanding warrants, options or similar rights, from time to time outstanding. All Shares (and Other Securities) shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be duly and validly issued, and (in the case of Shares) fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and other restrictions created by or through the Company and issued without violation (i) of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company and (ii) by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities

exchange upon which the shares of Common Stock or Other Securities constituting Warrant Shares may be listed at the time of such exercise.

(b) Certain Actions. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 6 reducing any Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any reasonable corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares at such Exercise Price as so adjusted.

SECTION 11. Notification of Certain Events; Corporate Action. In the event of:

(a) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (excluding cash distributions made as a dividend payable out of earnings or out of surplus legally available for dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other distribution of any kind, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right or interest of any kind; or

(b) (A) any capital reorganization of the Company, (B) any reclassification of the capital shares of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (C) the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any change in the shares of Common Stock), (D) the sale or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to another Person, or (E) an exchange offer for Common Stock (or Other Securities); or

the Company shall cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent and mailed to each Holder a notice specifying (x) the date or expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of any such dividend, distribution or right, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, or right are to be determined, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (y) the date or expected date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, exchange offer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which holders of record of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for the securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, exchange offer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall be delivered not less than twenty (20) days prior to such date therein specified, in the case of any such date referred to in clause (x) of the preceding sentence, and not less than thirty (30) days prior to such date therein specified, in the case of any such date referred to in clause (y) of the

preceding sentence. Failure to give such notice within the time provided or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.

SECTION 12. Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12.

(a) Limitation on Liability. The Warrant Agent shall not by countersigning Warrant Certificates or by any other act hereunder be accountable with respect to or be deemed to make any representations as to the validity or authorization of the Warrants or the Warrant Certificates (except as to its countersignature thereon), as to the validity, authorization or value (or kind or amount) of any Common Stock or of any Other Securities or other property delivered or deliverable upon exercise of any Warrant, or as to the purchase price of such Common Stock, securities or other property. The Warrant Agent shall not (i) be liable for any recital or statement of fact contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or for any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Warrant Agent in good faith in the belief that any Warrant Certificate or any other document or any signature is genuine or properly authorized, (ii) be responsible for determining whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of the purchase price and the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of Warrants, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustments when made, or with respect to the method of adjustment employed, (iii) be responsible for any failure on the part of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any Common Stock or Other Securities or property upon the surrender of any Warrant for the purpose of exercise or to comply with any other of the Company’s covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates or (iv) be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in connection with this Agreement, except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Warrant Agent be liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Warrant Agent has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of the action. Any liability of the Warrant Agent under this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of annual fees paid by the Company to the Warrant Agent.

(b) Instructions. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to accept advice or instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from an Appropriate Officer and to apply to any such officer for advice or instructions. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected and authorized in relying upon the most recent advice or instructions received by any such officer. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the advice or instructions of any such officer, except to the extent that such action or omission resulted directly from the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(c) Agents. 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 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 respect hereof, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent

to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider necessary. The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any claim made or action, suit or proceeding instituted against the Warrant Agent arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

(d) Cooperation. 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 the Warrant Agent to carry out or perform its duties under this Agreement.

(e) Agent Only. The Warrant Agent shall act solely as agent for the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof 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 performance of 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.

(f) Right to Counsel. The Warrant Agent may at any time consult with legal counsel satisfactory to it (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Warrant Holder for any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Warrant Agent in good faith in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.

(g) Compensation. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for its reasonable expenses hereunder (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), and further agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and hold it harmless against any and all liabilities, including, but not limited to, any judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Warrant Agent in connection with the acceptance, administration, exercise and performance of its duties under this Agreement and the Warrants, except for any such liabilities that arise as a result of the Warrant Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) Accounting. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the Company all moneys received by the Warrant Agent on behalf of the Company on the purchase of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) through the exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall advise the Company by telephone at the end of each day on which a payment for the exercise of Warrants is received of the amount so deposited to such account. The Warrant Agent shall as soon as practicable confirm such telephone advice to the Company in writing.

(i) No Conflict. Subject to applicable law, the Warrant Agent and any stockholder, affiliate, 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 become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Subject to applicable law, nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from

acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other Person. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Warrant Agent from acting as trustee under an indenture.

(j) Resignation; Termination. The Warrant Agent may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising as a result of the Warrant Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct) after giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Company. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent upon thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon in like manner be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, except as have been caused by the Warrant Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company shall cause to be mailed promptly (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to each registered Holder of a Warrant at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company, at the Company’s expense, a copy of such notice of resignation or notice of removal, as the case may be. Upon such resignation or removal the Company shall promptly appoint in writing a new warrant agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) calendar days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent or after such removal, then the Holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new warrant agent. Pending appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company. Any successor warrant agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be (i) a Person, incorporated under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and authorized under such laws to conduct a shareholder services business, be subject to supervision and examination by Federal or state authority, and have a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition; or (ii) an affiliate of such a Person described above. 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 file notice thereof with the resigning or removed Warrant Agent and shall forthwith cause a copy of such notice to be mailed (by first class, postage prepaid) to each registered Holder of a Warrant at such Holder’s last address as shown on the register of the Company. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 12(j), or any defect in any such notice, 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.

(k) Merger, Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the all or substantially all of the agency business of the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 12(j). If at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed under this Agreement, any of the Warrant

Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent; and if at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement. If at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrants shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent whose name has changed may adopt the countersignature under its prior name; and if at that time any of the Warrants shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrants either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrants shall have the full force provided in the Warrants and in this Agreement.

(l) Indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (which gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Company 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 (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent (which gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction), for any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Warrant Agent in connection with the preparation, delivery, acceptance, administration, execution and amendment of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability arising therefrom, directly or indirectly. The Warrant Agent shall not be obligated to expend or risk its own funds to take any action which it believes would expose it to expense or liability or to a risk of incurring expense of liability, unless it has been furnished with assurance of repayment or indemnity satisfactory to it. No provision in this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Warrant Agent from liability for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (which gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction).

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

(n) No Liability for Interest. 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.

(o) No Liability for Invalidity. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility with respect to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Warrant Agent) or with respect to the validity or execution of the Warrant Certificates (except its countersignature thereon).

(p) No Responsibilities for Recitals. The recitals contained herein and in the Warrant Certificates (except as to the Warrant Agent’s countersignature thereon) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility hereby for the correctness of the same.

(q) No Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties as are explicitly set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder that may involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in its opinion, assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use by the Company of any Warrant Certificate authenticated by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the issuance and sale, or exercise, of the Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in any Warrant Certificate or in the case of the receipt of any written demand from a Holder with respect to such default, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise or, to make any demand upon the Company.

(r) 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.

SECTION 13. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein or in the Warrants, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provisions in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby; provided, that if any such excluded term, provision, covenant or restriction shall materially adversely affect the rights, immunities, duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to resign immediately. Furthermore, subject to the preceding sentence, in lieu of any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar

in terms and commercial effect to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

SECTION 14. Warrantholder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Prior to the exercise of the Warrants represented thereby no Holder of a Warrant Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, but not limited to, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions, to exercise any preemptive right or, except as otherwise provided herein, to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

SECTION 15. Notices to Company and Warrant Agent. All notices, requests or demands authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or by any registered Holder of any Warrant to or on the Company or the Warrant Agent to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or two Business Days after being delivered to a recognized courier (whose stated terms of delivery are two business days or less to the destination such notice), or five days after being deposited in the mail, or, in the case of facsimile or email notice, when received, addressed (until another address is filed in writing by the Company with the Warrant Agent) as follows:

SECTION 16. Supplements and Amendments. The Company and the Warrant Agent may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement (a) without the approval of any Holders of Warrants in order to cure any ambiguity, manifest error or other mistake in this Agreement, or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder that the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable and that shall not adversely affect, alter or change the interests of the Holders of the Warrants in any material respect or (b) with the prior written consent of Holders of the Warrants exercisable for a majority of the Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding; provided that each amendment or supplement that decreases the Warrant Agent’s rights or increases its duties and responsibilities hereunder shall also require the prior written consent of the Warrant Agent.

The Warrant Agreement hereby is incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the words “holders” or “holder” meaning the registered holders or registered holder) of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be inspected at the Warrant Agent’s office and is available upon written request addressed to the Company. All capitalized terms used on the face of this Warrant Certificate but not defined herein and are defined in the Warrant Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them therein.

Warrants may be exercised to purchase Warrant Shares from the Company from the date of the Warrant Agreement through 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, at the Exercise Price set forth on the face hereof, subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement, the holder of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise such Warrants by:

In lieu of paying the Exercise Price as set forth in the preceding paragraph, subject to the provisions of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants shall entitle the holder thereof, at the election of such holder, to exercise the Warrants by authorizing the Company to withhold from issuance a number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants which when multiplied by the Market Price of the Common Stock is equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares for which the Warrants are being exercised (assuming the Exercise Price for all such Shares was being paid in cash), and such withheld shares shall no longer be issuable under the Warrants.

In the event that upon any exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby the number of shares of Common Stock actually purchased shall be less than the total number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof, or such holder’s assignee, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants to purchase the shares of Common Stock not so purchased. No adjustment shall be made for any cash dividends on any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants. After 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Expiration Date, unexercised Warrants shall become wholly void and of no value.

The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock or any certificates that evidence fractional Shares.

without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing Warrants to purchase in the aggregate a like number of shares of Common Stock.

No Warrants may be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred in violation of the Securities Act or state securities laws.

The Company and Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone) for the purpose of any exercise hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
