2.4.1 In the event that the Company recognizes a Tax Liability
at any time after the Closing, the aggregate amount paid for the
Purchased Securities shall be adjusted and shall require either (a) a
return of cash to the Investor equal to 47% of the total Tax Liability
(the "Cash Adjustment") or (b) a distribution of additional shares of

divided by $167. RK Holdings shall make the foregoing adjustment in
accordance with clause (b) above if the Board of Directors (including

pursuant to clause (a) above would (i) constitute, result in or give
rise to any breach or violation of, or any default or right or cause
of action under, any agreement to which the Company is, from time to
time, a party or (ii) leave the Company with less cash than, in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, is necessary to operate

Investor, additional Class A Warrants exercisable for a number of
shares of Class A Common Stock equal to such Investor's Class A
Warrant Adjustment, (iii) to each Parthenon Investor additional

a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to
-3-

by the relevant Put Right Adjustment, if any.
2.4.3 As soon as practicable, and in any event within 120 days,

national standing selected by Company) to prepare and deliver to
Parthenon an audited consolidated balanced sheet as of December 31,
1999 and related statement of earnings of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 Statement of Earnings"). The 1999
-------------------------------
Statement of Earnings shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP in a
manner consistent with the preparation of the Company's most recent
audited financial statements delivered to Parthenon prior to the date
of this Agreement. The Company shall prepare and deliver to
Parthenon, simultaneously with the delivery of the 1999 Statement of
Earnings, a statement (the "Statement") setting forth in reasonable
---------
detail the Company's calculation of its Adjusted EBITDA, and its
calculation of the Adjustment, if any.
2.4.4 Parthenon's accountants shall, at the Company's expense,
have 45 days after the delivery of the 1999 Statement of Earnings and
the Statement to dispute any portion of the Company's calculation of
the 1999 Statement of Earnings or the Adjustment (a "Dispute"). The
Company shall cause its accountants to make their work papers
available to Parthenon's accountants. In the event of a Dispute,
Parthenon or its accountants may deliver a notice of the Dispute to
the Company (the "Disagreement Notice"), specifying, in reasonable
-------------------
detail, those items or amounts in the 1999 Statement of Earnings as to
which Parthenon disagrees. If Parthenon does not deliver a
Disagreement Notice to the Company within such 45-day period, the 1999
Statement of Earnings and the Statement shall become final, conclusive
and binding on all of the parties hereto for all purposes of
calculating the Adjustment and shall not be subject to appeal of any
kind.
2.4.5 If Parthenon or its accountants delivers a Disagreement
Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 2.4.4, Parthenon and its
accountants and the Company and its accountants shall use their
reasonable efforts to reach agreement
-4-
on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Adjustment.
If both parties do not resolve all disputed items or amounts within 30
days after delivery of the Disagreement Notice, this Agreement and the
disputed items and amounts will be submitted to an independent
nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to both
Parthenon and the Company (the "Independent Accountants") for
-----------------------
determination of the appropriate Adjustment pursuant to this Section
2.4. The written report of the Independent Accountants (the "Report")
------
shall be delivered to each of the Company and Parthenon promptly, and
shall be final, conclusive and binding upon each of the Sellers and
the Buyer. The procedures for resolution of disputes concerning the
1999 Statement of Earnings and the Statement set forth in Section
2.4.4 hereof and this Section 2.4.5 shall be final, conclusive and
binding on all of the parties hereto for all purposes of calculating
the Adjustment, and shall not be subject to appeal of any kind. The
fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants shall be borne
equally by the Company, on the one hand, and the Investors, on the
other hand, and each of the Company and the Investors agree to execute
a reasonably acceptable engagement letter, if requested to do so by
the Independent Accountants.
2.4.6 From the Closing Date until the final determination of the
Adjustment, the Company shall give Parthenon, its accountants and the
Independent Accountants, if any, reasonable access to the Company's
books and records and their respective employees who are responsible
for financial matters.
2.4.7 The Adjustment, if any, shall be computed as follows:

provided) of the duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company at an initial
exercise price of $0.01 per share (such exercise price, as from time to time
adjusted in accordance with the terms hereof, the "Warrant Price"). Certain

Purchased Securities of at least the IRR Hurdle, and (ii) Proceeds on the
Purchased Securities of at least the Proceeds Threshold; and
1.4 December 16, 2006.
2. TERMINATION. This Warrant shall terminate on the earlier of the following:

3. EXERCISE OR CONVERSION OF WARRANT.
3.1 Manner of Exercise or Conversion; Payment.
(a) Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Business
Day on or prior to the Expiration Date, by surrender of this Warrant to the
Company at its office maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof,
accompanied by a subscription in substantially the form attached to this
Warrant (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by such holder
and accompanied by payment, in cash or by check payable to the order of the
Company (or by any combination of such methods), in the amount obtained by
multiplying (a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (without
giving effect to any adjustment thereof) designated in such subscription by
(b) the Exercise Price, and such holder shall thereupon be entitled to
receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
-2-
nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock determined as provided in
Section 4 hereof.
(b) Conversion. This Warrant may be converted by the holder
hereof, in whole or in part, into shares of Class A Common Stock, during
normal business hours on any Business Day on or prior to the Expiration
Date, by surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its office maintained
pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof, accompanied by a conversion notice in
substantially the form attached to this Warrant (or a reasonable facsimile
thereof) duly executed by such holder, and such holder shall thereupon be
entitled to receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of:
(i) the excess of:
(A) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product of (aa)
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined
as provided in Section 2 hereof which such holder would
be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant
for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
designated in such conversion notice multiplied by (bb)
the Current Market Price of each such share of Class A
Common Stock so designated and (y) the Current Market
Price of any Other Securities and the fair value of any
other property (determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors of the Company) such holder would be
entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant for
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock designated
in such conversion notice
over
(B) an amount equal to (x) the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock (without giving effect to any adjustment
thereof) designated in such conversion notice
multiplied by (y) the Exercise Price
divided by
(ii) such Current Market Price of a share of Class A Common
Stock.
For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Section 3.1), any
reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include
a reference to the conversion of this Warrant into Class A Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(b).
3.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
Business Day on which this Warrant
-3-
shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3.1 hereof,
and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or
certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such
exercise as provided in Section 3.3 hereof shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record thereof.
3.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. As soon as practicable after
each exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within
three Business Days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the holder hereof or as such holder may direct:
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock
to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of
any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash
in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share on
the Business Day next preceding the date of such exercise; and
(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate on the
face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
equal to the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment
thereof) called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such
shares designated by the holder upon such exercise as provided in Section
3.1 hereof.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.
4.1 General; Number of Shares; Warrant Price. The number of shares of
Class A Common Stock which the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
receive upon each exercise hereof shall be equal to the product of:
(a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which would otherwise
(but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable upon such
exercise, as designated by the holder hereof pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof, and
(b) a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Initial Warrant Price,
and (ii) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of
such exercise.
The "Initial Warrant Price" shall be the Exercise Price. The "Warrant Price"
shall initially be the Initial Warrant Price, shall be adjusted and readjusted
from time to time as provided in this Section 4 and, as so adjusted or
readjusted, shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment
thereof is required by this Section 4. The "Trigger Price" shall initially be
$167 per share of Class A Common Stock and shall be adjusted and readjusted from
time to time as provided in this Section 4 and, as so adjusted or readjusted,
shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is
required by this Section 4.
-4-
4.2 Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits, etc.
(a) Dividends and Distributions. In case at any time or from
time to time, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall have received, or
(on or after the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders
eligible to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor:
(i) other or additional stock or Other Securities or
property (other than cash) by way of dividend, or
(ii) any cash, or
(iii) other or additional stock or other securities or
property (including cash) by way of spin-off, split-
up, reclassification, recapitalization, combination
of shares or similar corporate rearrangement, other
-----
than additional shares of Class A Common Stock issued
----
as a stock dividend or in a stock-split (adjustments
in respect of which are provided for in Section
4.2(b) below),
then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 3, shall be entitled, without the payment of
any additional consideration or the taking of any further action, to
receive the amount of stock, Other Securities and property (including cash
in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and (iii) of this Section
4.2(a)) which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise if on the
date hereof he had been the holder of record of the number of shares of
Common Stock provided for herein and had thereafter, during the period from
the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such
shares and all such other or additional stock and other securities and
property (including cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and
(iii) of this Section 4.2(a)) receivable by him as aforesaid during such
period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by
Section 4.
(b) Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In the
event that the Company shall (i) issue Common Stock Equivalents, or
securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock Equivalents, as
a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock Equivalents,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock Equivalents, or (iii) combine
its outstanding shares of Common Stock Equivalents into a smaller number of
shares of Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such event, the Warrant
Price and the Trigger Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of
such event, be adjusted by multiplying each of the then current Warrant
Price and Trigger Price by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately
prior to such event, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately after such
event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Price
and Trigger Price,
-5-
respectively, then in effect. The Warrant Price and Trigger Price, as so
adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any
successive event or events described herein in this Section 4.2(b). Upon
each adjustment of the Warrant Price or Trigger Price, the holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase at the Warrant Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by dividing
the product of the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately
prior to such adjustment and the Warrant Price immediately preceding such
adjustment by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.
4.3 Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case at any time or from
time to time the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with
or merge into any other person, (c) voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve,
liquidate or wind-up, or (d) transfer all or substantially all of its properties
or assets to any other person, then in each such case, as a condition thereto,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant,
on the exercise or conversion hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu
of the Class A Common Stock issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so exercised this Warrant,
immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustments thereafter as
provided in Section 4.
4.4 Adjustment for Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents Below Trigger
Price.
(a) General. In any case to which Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereof are
not applicable, where the Company shall issue or sell shares of its Common
Stock Equivalents after December 16, 1999 without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Trigger Price in effect pursuant to
the terms of this Warrant at the time of issuance or sale of such
additional shares, except where such shares are issued or sold pursuant to
the exercise of any warrant or option or issued prior to the date of this
Warrant, then the Warrant Price in effect hereunder shall simultaneously
with such issuance or sale be reduced to a price determined by multiplying
the Warrant Price then in effect hereunder by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the sum of (i) the product of the total number of shares of Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale
multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect hereunder at the time of such
issuance or sale, plus (ii) the aggregate consideration received by the
Company upon such issuance or sale, and the denominator of which is the
product of the total number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
outstanding immediately after issuance or sale of such additional shares
multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect hereunder at the time of such
issuance.
-6-
(b) Options; Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall issue
or sell any Options or Convertible Securities after December 16, 1999 there
shall be determined the price per share for which Common Stock Equivalents
are issuable upon the conversion or exercise thereof, such determination to
be made by dividing (i) the sum of the total amount received or receivable
by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Options or
Convertible Securities plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the conversion or exercise
thereof, by (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
of the Company issuable upon the conversion or exercise of all of such
Options or Convertible Securities. If the price per share so determined
shall be less than the applicable Trigger Price, then, for purposes of
Section 4.4(a) hereof, such issue or sale shall be deemed to be an issue or
sale (as of the date of issue or sale of such Options or Convertible
Securities) of such maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents at
the price per share so determined and such maximum number of shares shall
be deemed to be outstanding after such issuance, provided that, upon the
expiration of such rights of conversion or exercise of such Options or
Convertible Securities, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the
adjusted Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the
price which it would have been had an adjustment been made on the basis
that the only shares of Common Stock Equivalents so issued or sold were
issued or sold upon the conversion or exercise of such Options or
Convertible Securities, and that they were issued or sold for the
consideration actually received by the Company upon such conversion or
exchange, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company
for the issue or sale of all of such Options or Convertible Securities
which shall have been converted or exchanged.
(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock Equivalents for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock Equivalents, Options
or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date
shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock
Equivalents deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the
granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
4.5 Minimum Adjustment of Warrant Price and Trigger Price. If the amount
of any adjustment of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this Section 4 would
be less than one-tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price or
Trigger Price, as the case may be, in effect at the time such adjustment is
otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be carried forward and
adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any
subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or
amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one tenth (1/10) of one
percent (1%) of such Warrant Price or Trigger Price.
-7-
4.6 Shares Deemed Outstanding. For all purposes of the computations to be
made pursuant to this Section 4, treasury shares shall not be deemed to be
outstanding.
4.7 Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock
Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor (net of discounts,
commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock Equivalents, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be
the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
shall be the Current Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. For
purposes of this Warrant, the fair value of any consideration other than cash
and securities shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company
using its good faith discretion.
4.8 Integrated Transactions. In case any Options are issued in connection
with the issue or sale of Other Securities of the Company, together comprising
one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to
such Options by the parties thereto, the Options shall be deemed to have been
issued for a consideration of $1.00 (as adjusted consistent to give effect to
the occurrences set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3).
5. REPURCHASE OF WARRANTS.
5.1 Right to "Put" Warrant. If a Realization Event shall not have
occurred prior to the fifth anniversary of the date as of which this Agreement
is executed and this Warrant becomes exercisable within six months of such
anniversary, Investor or any other holder of this Warrant may, at any time and
from time to time during the six month period immediately thereafter, by notice
to the Company (the "Put Notice"), elect to sell to the Company (and the Company
hereby, agrees to purchase from Investor or any other such holder), at the Put
Purchase Price specified in Section 5.3(a) hereof, such number of Warrants as
are specified in the Put Notice on the Business Day specified in the Put Notice,
which Business Day shall be not less than 20 days nor more than 30 days after
the receipt by the Company of said Put Notice (the date on which the Company
receives the Put Notice is referred to as the "Put Notice Date"). The right
created by this Section 5.1 shall terminate upon the occurrence of a Realization
Event. Any Warrants not sold to the Company pursuant to this Section 5 shall
automatically convert into Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section
3.1(b) (provided that, for purposes of this Section 5, the Current Market Price
shall be the Market Price (defined below)).
5.2 Realization Event. A "Realization Event" shall mean (a) a Qualified
-----------------
Public Offering, or (b) a transaction in which all of Investor's Warrants and
Other Securities are exchanged either for cash or for Other Securities of
another Person, provided that such Other Securities are traded on a national
securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market and are not subject to any
-8-
restrictions under the Securities Act and such Person's outstanding Other
Securities (other than those held by such Person's Affiliates) have an aggregate
public market value of not less than $500 million.
5.3 Purchase Price.
--------------
(a) Put Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Warrants
------------------
purchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 5 (the "Put Purchase
Price") shall be an amount equal to the Market Price (as defined below) on
the relevant Put Notice Date for the number of Other Securities that would
be obtained upon the exercise of the portion of such Warrant being
purchased).
(b) Market Price. "Market Price" shall mean the value on a
------------
specified date of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrant
which could be obtained in an initial public offering of such Class A
Common Stock. Within five business days of the Put Notice Date, the holders
of the Warrants shall suggest three investment banking firms, from which
the Company shall select one (the selected firm being the "Arbitrator").
The Arbitrator shall be instructed to determine the Market Price consistent
with the first sentence of this Section 5.3(b), within thirty days from the
Put Notice Date. The expenses of any such Arbitrator shall be shared
equally by the Company and the relevant holder.
5.4 Payments of Put Purchase Price. The Put Purchase Price may be paid in
cash or in subordinated debt of the Company ("Put Notes"). Put Notes shall bear
interest, payable semiannually, at the Prime Rate plus 3.5% and shall have a
term of two years. The principal shall be payable in four equal installments
over the term of the Put Notes. The Company shall use its best efforts to
negotiate all senior debt obligations to permit the payment of any Put Purchase
Price as it becomes due. In the event that payments under the Put Notes or
payment of the Put Purchase Price would cause the Company to be in default of
the terms of its senior indebtedness, such payments can be deferred until the
earlier of (i) the first date on which Company could make such payments without
causing such a default and (ii) the third anniversary of the Put Notice Date.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares
of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise plus the amount deemed to have been paid
upon issuance of this Warrant, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time
to time outstanding, (c) will not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Class A Common
Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would
exceed the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock then authorized by the
Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue
upon such exercise.
-9-
7. REPORT AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant,
the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a report setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of
calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (b) the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if
required by Section 4 hereof) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such report to each holder of a Warrant and will, upon the
written request at any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish to such holder a
like report setting forth the Warrant Price and the Trigger Price at the time in
effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will
also keep copies of all such reports at its office maintained pursuant to
Section 13.2(a) hereof and will cause the same to be available for inspection at
such office during normal business hours by any holder of a Warrant or any
prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the holder thereof.
8. NOTICES OF 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 or other distribution, 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
(b) the declaration by the Company of any dividend payable in stock
upon Common Stock Equivalents or any other distribution by the Company
to the holders of Common Stock Equivalents, or
(c) the Company proposing to make an offer for subscription pro
rata to the holders of its Common Stock Equivalents of any additional
shares of stock of any class or other rights, or
(d) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person or
any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to
any other Person, or
(e) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company, or
(f) any other action of a type referred to in Section 4 hereof,
-10-
the Company will mail to each holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) 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 such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, the time, if
any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Class A
Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock
for the securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and a description in reasonable detail of
the transaction. Such notice shall be mailed at least 45 days prior to the date
therein specified. At no time prior to the date therein specified shall the
Company take any action which could prevent the exercise or conversion of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof.
9. REGISTRATION OF WARRANTS AND COMMON STOCK. If any shares of Class A Common
Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (including without limitation the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976) before such shares may be issued upon exercise, the
Company will, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its best
efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may
be. The shares of Class A Common Stock (and Other Securities) issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall constitute Registrable Shares (as such term is
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Each holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled to all of the benefits afforded to a holder of any such
Registrable Shares under the Registration Rights Agreement. At any such time as
the Class A Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange or
quotation system, the Company will, at its expense, obtain promptly and maintain
the approval for listing on each such exchange or system, upon official notice
of issuance, the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
then outstanding Warrants and will use its best efforts to maintain the listing
of such shares after their issuance at all times when the Class A Common Stock
is so listed.
10. REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case the Company after
December 16, 1999 shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or
merge with or into any other entity, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of
its properties or assets to any other person or entity, then, in each such case,
the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 3 at
any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Class
A Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to
which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder
had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4 hereof. The Company shall not
consummate any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless the
resulting, surviving or transferee entity, as the case may be, expressly agrees
in writing, reasonably
-11-
satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Warrants then outstanding, to
fulfil the Company's obligations under this Warrant and this Section 10.
11. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, issue or sale of securities or otherwise, avoid or take
any action which would have the effect of avoiding the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but
will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all of the provisions of
this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or
other impairment to the extent set forth in this Warrant.
12. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants, the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock of each class from time to time
issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants shall be duly
authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
13. OWNERSHIP, TRANSFER AND SUBSTITUTION OF WARRANTS.
13.1 Ownership of Warrants. The Company may treat the person in whose name
Warrant is registered on the register kept at the office of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof as the owner and holder thereof
for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, except that, if
and when any Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall
not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. A Warrant, if
properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first
having been issued.
13.2 Office; Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.
(a) The Company will maintain an office in Wayne, Pennsylvania
where notices, presentations and demands in respect of this Warrant may be
made upon it. Such office shall be maintained at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ until such time as the Company shall notify the
holders of the Warrants of any change of location of such office within the
United States.
(b) The Company shall cause to be kept at its office maintained
pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof a register for the registration and
transfer of the Warrants. The names and addresses of holders of Warrants,
the transfers thereof and the names and addresses of transferees of
Warrants shall be registered in such register. The Person in whose name
any Warrant shall be so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner
and holder
-12-
thereof for all purposes of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be
affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.
(c) Upon the surrender of any Warrant, properly endorsed, for
registration of transfer or for exchange at the office of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof, the Company at its expense
will execute and deliver to or upon the order of the holder thereof a new
Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as such
holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the
Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.
13.3 Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant
held by a Person other than a Purchaser or any institutional investor, upon
delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form and amount
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for
cancellation at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a)
hereof, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Warrant of like tenor and dated the date hereof.

Common Stock designated in such conversion notice
over
(B) an amount equal to (x) the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock (without giving effect to any adjustment
thereof) designated in such conversion notice multiplied by
(y) the Exercise Price
divided by
(ii) such Current Market Price of a share of Class A Common
Stock.
For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Section 3.1), any
reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include
a reference to the conversion of this Warrant into Class A Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(b).
3.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
Business Day on which this Warrant
-iv-
shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3.1 hereof,
and at such time the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or
certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such
exercise as provided in Section 3.3 hereof shall be deemed to have become the
holder or holders of record thereof.
3.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. As soon as practicable after
each exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within
three Business Days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the
payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name
of and delivered to the holder hereof or as such holder may direct:
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock
to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of
any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash
in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share on
the Business Day next preceding the date of such exercise; and
(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate on the
face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
equal to the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment
thereof) called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such
shares designated by the holder upon such exercise as provided in Section
3.1 hereof.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.
4.1 General; Number of Shares; Warrant Price. The number of shares of
Class A Common Stock which the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
receive upon each exercise hereof shall be equal to the product of:
(a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which would otherwise
(but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable upon such
exercise, as designated by the holder hereof pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof, and
(b) a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Initial Warrant Price,
and (ii) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of
such exercise.
The "Initial Warrant Price" shall be the Exercise Price. The "Warrant Price"
shall initially be the Initial Warrant Price, shall be adjusted and readjusted
from time to time as provided in this Section 4 and, as so adjusted or
readjusted, shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment
thereof is required by this Section 4. The "Trigger Price" shall initially be
$167 per share of Class A Common Stock and shall be adjusted and readjusted from
time to time as provided in this Section 4 and, as so adjusted or readjusted,
shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is
required by this Section 4.
-v-
4.2 Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits, etc.
(a) Dividends and Distributions. In case at any time or from time to
time, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall have received, or (on or
after the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders eligible
to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor:
(i) other or additional stock or Other Securities or property
(other than cash) by way of dividend, or
(ii) any cash, or
(iii) other or additional stock or other securities or property
(including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up,
reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares
or similar corporate rearrangement, other than additional
----- ----
shares of Class A Common Stock issued as a stock dividend
or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of which are
provided for in Section 4.2(b) below),
then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 3, shall be entitled, without the payment of
any additional consideration or the taking of any further action, to
receive the amount of stock, Other Securities and property (including cash
in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and (iii) of this Section
4.2(a)) which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise if on the
date hereof he had been the holder of record of the number of shares of
Common Stock provided for herein and had thereafter, during the period from
the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such
shares and all such other or additional stock and other securities and
property (including cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and
(iii) of this Section 4.2(a)) receivable by him as aforesaid during such
period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by
Section 4.
(b) Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In the event
that the Company shall (i) issue Common Stock Equivalents, or securities
exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock Equivalents, as a dividend
or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock Equivalents, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding Common Stock Equivalents, or (iii) combine its
outstanding Common Stock Equivalents into a smaller number of shares of
Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such event, the Warrant Price and
the Trigger Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event,
be adjusted by multiplying each of the then current Warrant Price and
Trigger Price by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to such
event, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately after such event, and the
product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Price and Trigger
Price, respectively,
-vi-
then in effect. The Warrant Price and Trigger Price, as so adjusted, shall
be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event
or events described herein in this Section 4.2(b). Upon each adjustment of
the Warrant Price or Trigger Price, the holder of this Warrant shall
thereafter be entitled to purchase at the Warrant Price resulting from such
adjustment, the number of shares obtained by dividing the product of the
number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such
adjustment and the Warrant Price immediately preceding such adjustment by
the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.
4.3 Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case at any time or from
time to time the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with
or merge into any other person, (c) voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve,
liquidate or wind-up, or (d) transfer all or substantially all of its properties
or assets to any other person, then in each such case, as a condition thereto,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant,
on the exercise or conversion hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu
of the Class A Common Stock issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so exercised this Warrant,
immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustments thereafter as
provided in Section 4.
4.4 Adjustment for Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents Below Trigger
Price.
(a) General. In any case to which Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereof are
not applicable, where the Company shall issue or sell shares of its Common
Stock Equivalents after December 16, 1999 without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Trigger Price in effect pursuant to
the terms of this Warrant at the time of issuance or sale of such
additional shares, except where such shares are issued or sold pursuant to
the exercise of any warrant or option or issued prior to the date of this
Warrant, then the Warrant Price in effect hereunder shall simultaneously
with such issuance or sale be reduced to a price determined by multiplying
the Warrant Price then in effect hereunder by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the sum of (i) the product of the total number of shares of Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale
multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect hereunder at the time of such
issuance or sale, plus (ii) the aggregate consideration received by the
Company upon such issuance or sale, and the denominator of which is the
product of the total number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
outstanding immediately after issuance or sale of such additional shares
multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect hereunder at the time of such
issuance.
-vii-
(b) Options; Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall issue
or sell any Options or Convertible Securities after December 16, 1999 there
shall be determined the price per share for which Common Stock Equivalents
are issuable upon the conversion or exercise thereof, such determination to
be made by dividing (i) the sum of the total amount received or receivable
by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Options or
Convertible Securities plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the conversion or exercise
thereof, by (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
of the Company issuable upon the conversion or exercise of all of such
Options or Convertible Securities. If the price per share so determined
shall be less than the applicable Trigger Price, then, for purposes of
Section 4.4(a) hereof, such issue or sale shall be deemed to be an issue or
sale (as of the date of issue or sale of such Options or Convertible
Securities) of such maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents at
the price per share so determined and such maximum number of shares shall
be deemed to be outstanding after such issuance, provided that, upon the
expiration of such rights of conversion or exercise of such Options or
Convertible Securities, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the
adjusted Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the
price which it would have been had an adjustment been made on the basis
that the only shares of Common Stock Equivalents so issued or sold were
issued or sold upon the conversion or exercise of such Options or
Convertible Securities, and that they were issued or sold for the
consideration actually received by the Company upon such conversion or
exchange, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company
for the issue or sale of all of such Options or Convertible Securities
which shall have been converted or exchanged.
(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock Equivalents for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock Equivalents, Options
or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date
shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock
Equivalents deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the
granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
4.5 Minimum Adjustment of Warrant Price and Trigger Price. If the amount
of any adjustment of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this Section 4 would
be less than one-tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price or
Trigger Price, as the case may be, in effect at the time such adjustment is
otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be carried forward and
adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any
subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or
amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one tenth (1/10) of one
percent (1%) of such Warrant Price or Trigger Price.
-viii-
4.6 Shares Deemed Outstanding. For all purposes of the computations to be
made pursuant to this Section 4, treasury shares shall not be deemed to be
outstanding.
4.7 Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock
Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor (net of discounts,
commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock Equivalents, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be
the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
shall be the Current Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. For
purposes of this Warrant, the fair value of any consideration other than cash
and securities shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company
using its good faith discretion.
4.8 Integrated Transactions. In case any Options are issued in connection
with the issue or sale of Other Securities of the Company, together comprising
one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to
such Options by the parties thereto, the Options shall be deemed to have been
issued for a consideration of $1.00 (as adjusted consistent to give effect to
the occurrences set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3).
5. REPURCHASE OF WARRANTS.
5.1 Right to "Put" Warrant. If a Realization Event shall not have
occurred prior to the fifth anniversary of the date as of which this Agreement
is executed and this Warrant becomes exercisable within six months of such
anniversary, Investor or any other holder of this Warrant may, at any time and
from time to time during the six month period immediately thereafter, by notice
to the Company (the "Put Notice"), elect to sell to the Company (and the Company
hereby, agrees to purchase from Investor or any other such holder), at the Put
Purchase Price specified in Section 5.3(a) hereof, such number of Warrants as
are specified in the Put Notice on the Business Day specified in the Put Notice,
which Business Day shall be not less than 20 days nor more than 30 days after
the receipt by the Company of said Put Notice (the date on which the Company
receives the Put Notice is referred to as the "Put Notice Date"). The right
created by this Section 5.1 shall terminate upon the occurrence of a Realization
Event. Any Warrants not sold to the Company pursuant to this Section 5 shall
automatically convert into Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section
3.1(b) (provided that, for purposes of this Section 5, the Current Market Price
shall be the Market Price (defined below)).
5.2 Realization Event. A "Realization Event" shall mean (a) a Qualified
-----------------
Public Offering, or (b) a transaction in which all of Investor's Warrants and
Other Securities are exchanged either for cash or for Other Securities of
another Person, provided that such Other Securities are traded on a national
securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market and are not subject to any
restrictions under the Securities Act and such Person's outstanding Other
Securities (other than
-ix-
those held by such Person's Affiliates) have an aggregate public market value of
not less than $500 million.
5.3 Purchase Price.
--------------
(a) Put Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Warrants
------------------
purchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 5 (the "Put Purchase
Price") shall be an amount equal to the Market Price (as defined below) on
the relevant Put Notice Date for the number of Other Securities that would
be obtained upon the exercise of the portion of such Warrant being
purchased).
(b) Market Price. "Market Price" shall mean the value on a specified
------------
date of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrant which
could be obtained in an initial public offering of such Class A Common
Stock. Within five business days of the Put Notice Date, the holders of
the Warrants shall suggest three investment banking firms, from which the
Company shall select one (the selected firm being the "Arbitrator"). The
Arbitrator shall be instructed to determine the Market Price consistent
with the first sentence of this Section 5.3(b), within thirty days from the
Put Notice Date. The expenses of any such Arbitrator shall be shared
equally by the Company and the relevant holder.
5.4 Payments of Put Purchase Price. The Put Purchase Price may be paid in
cash or in subordinated debt of the Company ("Put Notes"). Put Notes shall bear
interest, payable semiannually, at the Prime Rate plus 3.5% and shall have a
term of two years. The principal shall be payable in four equal installments
over the term of the Put Notes. The Company shall use its best efforts to
negotiate all senior debt obligations to permit the payment of any Put Purchase
Price as it becomes due. In the event that payments under the Put Notes or
payment of the Put Purchase Price would cause the Company to be in default of
the terms of its senior indebtedness, such payments can be deferred until the
earlier of (i) the first date on which Company could make such payments without
causing such a default and (ii) the third anniversary of the Put Notice Date.
6. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares
of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise plus the amount deemed to have been paid
upon issuance of this Warrant, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time
to time outstanding, (c) will not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Class A Common
Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would
exceed the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock then authorized by the
Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue
upon such exercise.
-x-
7. REPORT AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant,
the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a report setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of
calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (b) the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if
required by Section 4 hereof) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such report to each holder of a Warrant and will, upon the
written request at any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish to such holder a
like report setting forth the Warrant Price and the Trigger Price at the time in
effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will
also keep copies of all such reports at its office maintained pursuant to
Section 13.2(a) hereof and will cause the same to be available for inspection at
such office during normal business hours by any holder of a Warrant or any
prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the holder thereof.
8. NOTICES OF CORPORATE ACTION. In the event of

of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are
entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, 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
(b) the declaration by the Company of any dividend payable in stock
upon Common Stock Equivalents or any other distribution by the Company to
the holders of Common Stock Equivalents, or
(c) the Company proposing to make an offer for subscription pro rata
to the holders of its Common Stock Equivalents of any additional shares of
stock of any class or other rights, or

consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
Person, or
(e) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-
up of the Company,
(f) any other action of a type referred to in Section 4 hereof,
-xi-
the Company will mail to each holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) 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 such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, the time, if
any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Class A
Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock
for the securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and a description in reasonable detail of
the transaction. Such notice shall be mailed at least 45 days prior to the date
therein specified. At no time prior to the date therein specified shall the
Company take any action which could prevent the exercise or conversion of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof.
9. REGISTRATION OF WARRANTS AND COMMON STOCK. If any shares of Class A Common
Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (including without limitation the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976) before such shares may be issued upon exercise, the
Company will, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its best
efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may
be. The shares of Class A Common Stock (and Other Securities) issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall constitute Registrable Shares (as such term is
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Each holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled to all of the benefits afforded to a holder of any such
Registrable Shares under the Registration Rights Agreement. At any such time as
the Class A Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange or
quotation system, the Company will, at its expense, obtain promptly and maintain
the approval for listing on each such exchange or system, upon official notice
of issuance, the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
then outstanding Warrants and will use its best efforts to maintain the listing
of such shares after their issuance at all times when the Class A Common Stock
is so listed.
10. REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case the Company after
December 16, 1999 shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or
merge with or into any other entity, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of
its properties or assets to any other person or entity, then, in each such case,
the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 3 at
any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Class
A Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to
which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder
had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4 hereof. The Company shall not
consummate any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless the
resulting, surviving or transferee entity, as the case may be, expressly agrees
in writing, reasonably
-xii-
satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Warrants then outstanding, to
fulfil the Company's obligations under this Warrant and this Section 10.
11. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, issue or sale of securities or otherwise, avoid or take
any action which would have the effect of avoiding the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but
will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all of the provisions of
this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or
other impairment to the extent set forth in this Warrant.
12. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants, the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock of each class from time to time
issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants shall be duly
authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
13. OWNERSHIP, TRANSFER AND SUBSTITUTION OF WARRANTS.
13.1 Ownership of Warrants. The Company may treat the person in whose
name any Warrant is registered on the register kept at the office of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof as the owner and holder thereof
for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, except that, if
and when any Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall
not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. A Warrant, if properly
assigned, may be exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first having
been issued.
13.2 Office; Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.
(a) The Company will maintain an office in Wayne, Pennsylvania where
notices, presentations and demands in respect of this Warrant may be made
upon it. Such office shall be maintained at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ until such time as the Company shall notify the holders
of the Warrants of any change of location of such office within the United
States.
(b) The Company shall cause to be kept at its office maintained
pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof a register for the registration and
transfer of the Warrants. The names and addresses of holders of Warrants,
the transfers thereof and the names and addresses of transferees of
Warrants shall be registered in such register. The Person in whose name
any Warrant shall be so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner
and holder
-xiii-
thereof for all purposes of this Warrant, and the Company shall
not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.
(c) Upon the surrender of any Warrant, properly endorsed, for
registration of transfer or for exchange at the office of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a) hereof, the Company at its expense
will execute and deliver to or upon the order of the holder thereof a new
Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as such
holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may
direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the
Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.
13.3 Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant
held by a Person other than a Purchaser or any institutional investor, upon
delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form and amount
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for
cancellation at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 13.2(a)
hereof, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Warrant of like tenor and dated the date hereof.

-iii-
For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Section 1.1), any
reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to
include a reference to the conversion of this Warrant into Class A

deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as
provided in Section 1.1 hereof, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose

(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate
on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Class A

Warrant minus the number of such shares designated by the holder

2. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.
2.1 General; Number of Shares; Warrant Price. The number of shares
of Class A Common Stock which the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
receive upon each exercise hereof shall be equal to the product of:
(a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which would
otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2) be issuable
upon such exercise, as designated by the holder hereof pursuant
to Section 1.1 hereof, and
(b) a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Initial Warrant
Price, and (ii) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on
the date of such exercise.
-iv-
The "Initial Warrant Price" shall be the Exercise Price. The "Warrant Price"
shall initially be the Initial Warrant Price and shall be adjusted and
readjusted from time to time as provided in this Section 3 and, as so adjusted
or readjusted, shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment
thereof is required by this Section 3. The "Trigger Price" shall initially be

shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is
required by this Section 2.
2.2 Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits, etc.
(a) Dividends and Distributions. In case at any time or from time to
time, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall have received, or (on or
after the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders eligible
to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor:
(1) other or additional stock or Other Securities or property
(other than cash) by way of dividend, or
(2) any cash, or
(3) other or additional stock or Other Securities or property
(including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up,
reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares or
similar corporate rearrangement, other than additional
----- ----
shares of Class A Common Stock issued as a stock dividend or
in a stock split (adjustments in respect of which are
provided for in Section 2.2(b) below),
then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled without the payment of
any additional consideration or the taking of any further action, to
receive the amount of stock and Other Securities and property (including
cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and (iii) of this
Section 2.2(a)) which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise
if on the date hereof such holder had been the holder of record of the
number of shares of Common Stock provided for herein and had thereafter,
during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such
exercise, retained such shares and all such other or additional stock and
Other Securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
subdivisions (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.2(a)) receivable by him as
aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for
during such period by this Section 2.
(b) Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In the event
that the Company shall (i) issue Common Stock Equivalents, or securities
exercisable for or
-v-
convertible into Common Stock Equivalents, as dividend or other
distribution on outstanding Common Stock Equivalents, (ii) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock Equivalents, or (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock Equivalents into a smaller number of
shares of Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such event, the Warrant
Price and the Trigger Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of
such event, be adjusted by multiplying each of the then current Warrant
Price and Trigger Price by a fraction, (a) the numerator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately
prior to such event, and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately after such
event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Price
and the Trigger Price, respectively, then in effect. The Warrant Price and
Trigger Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon
the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this
Section 2.2(b). Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price or Trigger Price,
the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase at the
Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained
by dividing the product of the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto
immediately prior to such adjustment and the Warrant Price immediately
preceding such adjustment by the Warrant Price resulting from such
adjustment.
2.3 Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case at any time or
from time to time the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate
with or merge into any other Person, (c) voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve,
liquidate or wind-up, or (d) transfer all or substantially all of its properties
or assets to any other person, then in each such case, as a condition thereto,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant,
on the exercise or conversion hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu
of the Class A Common Stock issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so exercised this Warrant,
immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustments thereafter as
provided in this Section 2.
2.4 Adjustment for Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents Below Trigger
Price.
(a) General. In any case to which Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof are not
applicable, where the Company shall issue or sell shares of Common Stock
Equivalents after December 16, 1999 without consideration or for a
consideration (or evidencing a value of Common Stock Equivalents) per share
less than the Trigger Price in effect pursuant to the terms of this Warrant
at the time of issuance or sale of such additional shares, except where
such shares are issued or sold pursuant to the exercise of any warrant or
option or issued prior to the date of this Warrant, then the Warrant Price
in effect hereunder shall simultaneously with such issuance or sale be
reduced to a price
-vi-
determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect hereunder by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (a) the product of the total
number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately prior
to such issuance or sale multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect
hereunder at the time of such issuance or sale, plus (b) the aggregate
consideration received by the Company upon such issuance or sale, and the
denominator of which is the product of the total number of shares of Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately after issuance or sale of such
additional shares multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect hereunder at
the time of such issuance.
(b) Options; Convertble Securities. In case the company issue or sell
any Options or Convertible Securities after December 16, 1999 there shall
be determined the price per share for which Common Stock Equivalents are
issuable upon the conversion or exercise thereof, such determination to be
made by dividing (a) the sum of the total amount received or receivable by
the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Options or
Convertible Securities plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the conversion or exercise
thereof, by (b) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents of
the Company issuable upon the conversion or exercise of all of such Options
or Convertible Securities. If the price per share so determined shall be
less than the applicable Trigger Price, then, for purposes of Section
2.4(a) hereof, such issue or sale shall be deemed to be an issue or sale
(as of the date of issue or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities)
of such maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents at the price
per share so determined and such maximum number of shares shall be deemed
to be outstanding after such issuance, provided that, upon the expiration
of such rights of conversion or exercise of such Options or Convertible
Securities, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the adjusted
Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price
which it would have been had an adjustment been made on the basis that the
only shares of Common Stock Equivalents so issued or sold were issued or
sold upon the conversion or exercise of such Options or Convertible
Securities, and that they were issued or sold for the consideration
actually received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, plus the
consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issue or
sale of all such Options or Convertible Securities which shall have been
converted or exchanged.
(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock Equivalents for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock Equivalents, Options
or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date
shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common
Stock Equivalents deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration
of such dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date
of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may
be.
-vii-
2.5 Minimum Adjustment of Warrant Price and Trigger Price. If the
amount of any adjustment of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this Section
2 would be less than one-tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price
or Trigger Price, as the case may be, in effect at the time such adjustment is
otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be carried forward and
adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any
subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or
amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one tenth (1/10) of one
percent (1%) of such Warrant Price or Trigger Price.
2.6 Shares Deemed Outstanding. For all purposes of the computations to be
made pursuant to this Section 2, treasury shares shall not be deemed to be
outstanding.
2.7 Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock
Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor (net of discounts,
commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock Equivalents, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be
the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
shall be the Current Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. For
purposes of this Warrant, the fair value of any consideration other than cash
and securities shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company
using its good faith discretion.
2.8 Integrated Transactions. In case any Options are issued in connection
with the issue or sale of Other Securities of the Company, together comprising
one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to
such Options by the parties thereto, the Options shall be deemed to have been
issued for a consideration of $1.00 (as adjusted consistent to give effect to
the occurrences set forth in Sections 2.2 and 2.3).
3. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares
of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise plus the amount deemed to have been paid
upon issuance of this Warrant, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time
to time outstanding, (c) will not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Class A Common
Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would
exceed the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock then authorized by the
Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue
upon such exercise.
4. REPORT AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment
in the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, the Company at
-viii-
its expense will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a report setting forth such
adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of
calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (b) the Warrant Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if
required by Section 2 hereof) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith
mail a copy of each such report to each holder of a Warrant and will, upon the
written request at any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish to such holder a
like report setting forth the Warrant Price and the Trigger Price at the time in
effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will
also keep copies of all such reports at its office maintained pursuant to
Section 10.2(a) hereof and will cause the same to be available for inspection at
such office during normal business hours by any holder of a Warrant or any
prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the holder thereof.
5. NOTICES OF 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 or other distribution, 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
(b) the declaration by the Company of any dividend payable in stock
upon Common Stock Equivalents or any other distribution by the Company to
the holders of the Common Stock Equivalents, or
(c) the Company proposing to make an offer for subscription pro rata
to the holders of its Common Stock Equivalents of any additional shares of
stock of any class or other rights, or
(d) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
Person, or
(e) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-
up of the Company, or
(f) any other action of a type referred to in Section 2 hereof,
the Company shall mail to each holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) 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 such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or
-xi-
expected date on which any such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is to take place, the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of
which the holders of record of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for the securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up and a description in reasonable detail of the transaction. Such
notice shall be mailed at least 45 days prior to the date therein specified. At
no time prior to the date therein specified shall the Company take any action
which could prevent the exercise or conversion of this Warrant in accordance
with the terms hereof.
6. REGISTRATION OF WARRANTS AND COMMON STOCK. If any shares of Class A Common
Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (including without limitation the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976) before such shares may be issued upon exercise, the
Company will, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its best
efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may
be. The shares of Class A Common Stock (and Other Securities) issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall constitute Registrable Shares (as such term is
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Each holder of this Warrant
shall be entitled to all of the benefits afforded to a holder of any such
Registrable Shares under the Registration Rights Agreement. At any such time as
the Class A Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange or
quotation system, the Company shall, at its expense, obtain promptly and
maintain the approval for listing on each such exchange or system, upon official
notice of issuance, the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the then outstanding Warrants and will use its best efforts to maintain the
listing of such shares after their issuance at all times when the Class A Common
Stock is so listed.
7. REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case the Company after
December 16, 1999 shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or
merge with or into any other entity, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of
its properties or assets to any other person or entity, then, in each such case,
the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at
any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Class
A Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the stock and Other Securities and property (including cash) to
which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder
had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 2 hereof. The Company shall not
consummate any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer, unless
the resulting, surviving or transferee entity, as the case may be, expressly
agrees in writing, reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the
Warrants then outstanding, to fulfill the Company's obligations under this
Warrant and this Section 7.
-x-
8. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, issue or sale of securities or otherwise, avoid or take
any action which would have the effect of avoiding the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but
will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all of the provisions of
this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or
other impairment to the extent set forth in this Warrant.
9. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants, the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock of each class from time to time
issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants shall be duly
authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
10. OWNERSHIP, TRANSFER AND SUBSTITUTION OF WARRANTS.
10.1 Ownership of Warrants. The Company may treat the person in whose
name any Warrant is registered on the register kept at the office of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof as the owner and holder thereof
for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, except that, if
and when any Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall
not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. A Warrant, if
properly assigned, may be exercised by a new holder without a new Warrant first
having been issued.
10.2 Office; Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.
(a) The Company will maintain an office in Wayne, Pennsylvania where
notices, presentations and demands in respect of this Warrant may be made
upon it. Such office shall be maintained at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ until such time as the Company shall notify the holders of the
Warrants of any change of location of such office within the United States.
(b) The Company shall cause to be kept at its office maintained
pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof a register for the registration and
transfer of the Warrants. The names and addresses of holders of Warrants,
the transfers thereof and the names and addresses of transferees of
Warrants shall be registered in such register. The Person in whose name any
Warrant shall be so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and
holder thereof for all purposes of this Warrant, and the Company shall not
be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.
-xi-
(c) Upon the surrender of any Warrant, properly endorsed, for
registration of transfer or conversion or for exchange at the office of the
Company maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver to or upon the order of the holder thereof
a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such holder or as
such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes)
may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the
Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.
10.3 Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant
held by a Person other than a purchaser or any institutional investor, upon
delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form and amount
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for
cancellation at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a)
hereof, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Warrant of like tenor and dated the date hereof.

Class C-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrant
No. [ ] ▇▇▇▇▇, Pennsylvania
December 16, 1999
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, and subject to the conditions on
exercise and other provisions hereinafter set forth, [ ] or
transferees permitted under the Stockholders Agreement (the "Holder"), is
entitled to purchase from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation (the "Company"), under the conditions specified in this Warrant (the
"Warrant"), [ ] shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common
Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company at an initial exercise price of
$0.01 per share (such exercise price, as from time to time adjusted in
accordance with the terms hereof, the "Warrant Price"). Certain capitalized
terms used in this Warrant are defined in Section 12 below.
This Warrant is one of a series of warrants (collectively, the "Warrants")
issued pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the
Purchase Agreement may be inspected at the principal office of the Company or
obtained from the Company without charge.
1. EXERCISABILITY. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 2, this
Warrant shall become exercisable upon the earliest to occur of the following:
-xx-
1.1 the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering at a price to the
public per share that results in (i) an IRR on the Purchased Securities greater
than or equal to the IRR Hurdle, or (ii) Proceeds on the Purchased Securities
which are greater than or equal to the Proceeds Threshold; and
1.2 the consummation of a Sale Transaction that results in (i) an IRR on
the Purchased Securities greater than or equal to the IRR Hurdle, or (ii)
Proceeds on the Purchased Securities which are greater than or equal to the
Proceeds Threshold.
In the event that full exercise of this Warrant would cause the condition that
triggered the exercisability of the Warrant not to be fulfilled (as a result of
the incremental IRR and/or Proceeds resulting from the shares subject to the
Warrant), this Warrant shall become exercisable only for the largest number of
shares of Class A Common Stock as will result in such condition being fulfilled.
2. TERMINATION. This Warrant shall terminate on the earlier of the following:
2.1 the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering at a price to the
public per share that results in (i) an IRR on the Purchased Securities of less
than the IRR Hurdle, and (ii) Proceeds on the Purchased Securities of less than
the Proceeds Threshold;
2.2 the consummation of a Sale Transaction or other sale of Purchased
Securities that results in (i) an IRR on the Purchased Securities of less than
the IRR Hurdle, and (ii) Proceeds on the Purchased Securities of less than the
Proceeds Threshold;
2.3 the written consent to such termination by the Holders of Warrants to
acquire a majority of the shares of common stock originally subject to the
Warrants;
2.4 the determination by a majority of the Management Stockholders (as
defined in the Stockholders Agreement) that it is not reasonably likely that a
Qualified Public Offering or Sale Transaction will result in (i) an IRR on the
Purchased Securities of at least the IRR Hurdle, and (ii) Proceeds on the
Purchased Securities of at least the Proceeds Threshold; and
2.5 December 16, 2006.
3. EXERCISE OR CONVERSION OF WARRANT.
3.1 Manner of Exercise or Conversion; Payment.

-xxi-
to this Warrant (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by such

of the Company (or by any combination of such methods), in the amount
obtained by multiplying (a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
(without giving effect to any adjustment thereof) designated in such

substantially the form attached to this Warrant (or a reasonable facsimile
thereof) duly executed by such holder, and such holder shall thereupon be
entitled to receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of:
(i) the excess of:
(A) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product of (aa) the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined as
provided in Section 2 hereof which such holder would be
entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant for the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock designated in such
conversion notice multiplied by (bb) the Current Market
Price of each such share of Class A Common Stock so
designated and (y) the Current Market Price of any Other
Securities and the fair value of any other property
(determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company) such holder would be entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Warrant for the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock designated in such conversion notice
over
(B) an amount equal to (x) the number of shares of Class A

(ii) such Current Market Price of a share of Class A Common
Stock.
-xxii-
For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Section 3.1), any
reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include
a reference to the conversion of this Warrant into Class A Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(b).
3.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as
provided in Section 3.1 hereof, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose

deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.
3.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. As soon as practicable after

of and delivered to the holder hereof or as such holder may direct:
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized,

(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate on the
face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
equal to the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment
thereof) called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such
shares designated by the holder upon such exercise as provided in Section
3.1 hereof.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.
4.1 General; Number of Shares; Warrant Price. The number of shares of

(but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable upon such
exercise, as designated by the holder hereof pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof, and
(b) a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Initial Warrant Price,
and (ii) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of
such exercise.
-xxiii-
The "Initial Warrant Price" shall be the Exercise Price. The "Warrant Price"
shall initially be the Initial Warrant Price, shall be adjusted and readjusted
from time to time as provided in this Section 4 and, as so adjusted or
readjusted, shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment
thereof is required by this Section 4. The "Trigger Price" shall initially be
$167 per share of Class A Common Stock and shall be adjusted and readjusted from
time to time as provided in this Section 4 and, as so adjusted or readjusted,
shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is
required by this Section 4.
4.2 Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits, etc.
(a) Dividends and Distributions. In case at any time or from time to
time, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall have received, or (on or
after the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders eligible
to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor:
(i) other or additional stock or Other Securities or property
(other than cash) by way of dividend, or
(ii) any cash, or
(iii) other or additional stock or other securities or property
(including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up,
reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares
or similar corporate rearrangement, other than additional
----- ----
shares of Class A Common Stock issued as a stock dividend
or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of which are
provided for in Section 4.2(b) below),
then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 3, shall be entitled, without the payment of
any additional consideration or the taking of any further action, to
receive the amount of stock, Other Securities and property (including cash
in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and (iii) of this Section
4.2(a)) which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise if on the
date hereof he had been the holder of record of the number of shares of
Common Stock provided for herein and had thereafter, during the period from
the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such
shares and all such other or additional stock and other securities and
property (including cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and
(iii) of this Section 4.2(a)) receivable by him as aforesaid during such
period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by
Section 4.
(b) Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In the event
that the Company shall (i) issue additional shares of Common Stock
Equivalents, or securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock
Equivalents, as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common
Stock Equivalents, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
-xxiv-
Stock Equivalents, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
Equivalents into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents,
then, in each such event, the Warrant Price and the Trigger Price shall,
simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying
each of the then current Warrant Price and Trigger Price by a fraction, (a)
the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to such event, and (b) the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
Equivalents outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Price and Trigger Price,
respectively, then in effect. The Warrant Price and Trigger Price, as so
adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any
successive event or events described herein in this Section 4.2(b). Upon
each adjustment of the Warrant Price or Trigger Price, the holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase at the Warrant Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by dividing
the product of the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately
prior to such adjustment and the Warrant Price immediately preceding such
adjustment by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.
4.3 Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case at any time or from
time to time the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with
or merge into any other person, (c) voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve,
liquidate or wind-up, or (d) transfer all or substantially all of its properties
or assets to any other person, then in each such case, as a condition thereto,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant,
on the exercise or conversion hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu
of the Class A Common Stock issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so exercised this Warrant,
immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustments thereafter as
provided in Section 4.
4.4 Adjustment for Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents Below Trigger
Price.
(a) General. In any case to which Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereof are
not applicable, where the Company shall issue or sell shares of its Common
Stock Equivalents after December 16, 1999 without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Trigger Price in effect pursuant to
the terms of this Warrant at the time of issuance or sale of such
additional shares, except where such shares are issued or sold pursuant to
the exercise of any warrant or option or issued prior to the date of this
Warrant, then the Warrant Price in effect hereunder shall simultaneously
with such issuance or sale be reduced to a price determined by multiplying
the Warrant Price then in effect hereunder by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the sum of (i) the product of the total number of shares of Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or
-xxv-
sale multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect hereunder at the time of
such issuance or sale, plus (ii) the aggregate consideration received by
the Company upon such issuance or sale, and the denominator of which is the
product of the total number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
outstanding immediately after issuance or sale of such additional shares
multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect hereunder at the time of such
issuance.
(b) Options; Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall issue
or sell any Options or Convertible Securities after December 16, 1999 there
shall be determined the price per share for which Common Stock Equivalents
are issuable upon the conversion or exercise thereof, such determination to
be made by dividing (i) the sum of the total amount received or receivable
by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Options or
Convertible Securities plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the conversion or exercise
thereof, by (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
of the Company issuable upon the conversion or exercise of all of such
Options or Convertible Securities. If the price per share so determined
shall be less than the applicable Trigger Price, then, for purposes of
Section 4.4(a) hereof, such issue or sale shall be deemed to be an issue or
sale (as of the date of issue or sale of such Options or Convertible
Securities) of such maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents at
the price per share so determined and such maximum number of shares shall
be deemed to be outstanding after such issuance, provided that, upon the
expiration of such rights of conversion or exercise of such Options or
Convertible Securities, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the
adjusted Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the
price which it would have been had an adjustment been made on the basis
that the only shares of Common Stock Equivalents so issued or sold were
issued or sold upon the conversion or exercise of such Options or
Convertible Securities, and that they were issued or sold for the
consideration actually received by the Company upon such conversion or
exchange, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company
for the issue or sale of all of such Options or Convertible Securities
which shall have been converted or exchanged.
(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock Equivalents for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock Equivalents, Options
or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date
shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock
Equivalents deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the
granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
4.5 Minimum Adjustment of Warrant Price and Trigger Price. If the amount
of any adjustment of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this Section 4 would
be less than one-tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price or
Trigger Price, as the case may be, in effect at
-xxvi-
the time such adjustment is otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall
be carried forward and adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and
together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any
other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one tenth
(1/10) of one percent (1%) of such Warrant Price or Trigger Price.
4.6 Shares Deemed Outstanding. For all purposes of the computations to be
made pursuant to this Section 4, treasury shares shall not be deemed to be
outstanding.
4.7 Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock
Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor (net of discounts,
commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock Equivalents, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be
the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
shall be the Current Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. For
purposes of this Warrant, the fair value of any consideration other than cash
and securities shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company
using its good faith discretion.
4.8 Integrated Transactions. In case any Options are issued in connection
with the issue or sale of Other Securities of the Company, together comprising
one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to
such Options by the parties thereto, the Options shall be deemed to have been
issued for a consideration of $1.00 (as adjusted consistent to give effect to
the occurrences set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3).
5. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares
of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise plus the amount deemed to have been paid
upon issuance of this Warrant, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time
to time outstanding, (c) will not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Class A Common
Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would
exceed the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock then authorized by the
Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue
upon such exercise.
6. REPORT AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment
in the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a report
setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail
the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or
-xxvii-
readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (b) the
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted
and readjusted (if required by Section 4 hereof) on account thereof. The Company
will forthwith mail a copy of each such report to each holder of a Warrant and
will, upon the written request at any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish
to such holder a like report setting forth the Warrant Price and the Trigger
Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was
calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all such reports at its office
maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof and will cause the same to be
available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by any
holder of a Warrant or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the
holder thereof.
7. NOTICES OF 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 or other distribution, 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,

such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, the time, if
any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Class A
Common Stock shall be entitled to
-xxviii-

December 16, 1999 shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or

A Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to
which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder
had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4 hereof. The Company shall not
consummate any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless the
resulting, surviving or transferee entity, as the case may be, expressly agrees

then outstanding, to fulfil the Company's obligations under this Warrant and

Class C-2 Common Stock Purchase Warrant
No. [ ] ▇▇▇▇▇, Pennsylvania
December 16, 1999
THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, and subject to the conditions on
exercise and other provisions hereinafter set forth, [ ] or transferees
permitted under the Stockholders Agreement (the "Holder"), is entitled to
purchase from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the
"Company"), under the conditions specified in this Warrant (the "Warrant"), [ ]
shares (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) of the duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par
value per share, of the Company at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share
(such exercise price, as from time to time adjusted in accordance with the terms
hereof, the "Warrant Price"). Certain capitalized terms used in this Warrant are
defined in Section 12 below.
This Warrant is one of a series of warrants (collectively, the "Warrants")
issued pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the
Purchase Agreement may be inspected at the principal office of the Company or
obtained from the Company without charge.
1. EXERCISABILITY. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 2, this
Warrant shall become exercisable upon the earliest to occur of the following:
1.1 the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering at a price to the
public per share that results in (i) an IRR on the Purchased Securities greater
than or equal to the IRR Hurdle, or
(ii) Proceeds on the Purchased Securities which are greater than or equal to the
Proceeds Threshold; and
1.2 the consummation of a Sale Transaction that results in (i) an IRR on
the Purchased Securities greater than or equal to the IRR Hurdle, or (ii)
Proceeds on the Purchased Securities which are greater than or equal to the
Proceeds Threshold.
In the event that full exercise of this Warrant would cause the condition that
triggered the exercisability of the Warrant not to be fulfilled (as a result of
the incremental IRR and/or Proceeds resulting from the shares subject to the
Warrant), this Warrant shall become exercisable only for the largest number of
shares of Class A Common Stock as will result in such condition being fulfilled.
2. TERMINATION. This Warrant shall terminate on the earlier of the following:
2.1 the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering at a price to the
public per share that results in (i) an IRR on the Purchased Securities of less
than the IRR Hurdle, and (ii) Proceeds on the Purchased Securities of less than
the Proceeds Threshold;
2.2 the consummation of a Sale Transaction or other sale of Purchased
Securities that results in (i) an IRR on the Purchased Securities of less than
the IRR Hurdle, and (ii) Proceeds on the Purchased Securities of less than the
Proceeds Threshold;
2.3 the written consent to such termination by the Holders of Warrants to
acquire a majority of the shares of common stock originally subject to the
Warrants;
2.4 the determination by a majority of the Management Stockholders (as
defined in the Stockholders Agreement) that it is not reasonably likely that a
Qualified Public Offering or Sale Transaction will result in (i) an IRR on the
Purchased Securities of at least the IRR Hurdle, and (ii) Proceeds on the
Purchased Securities of at least the Proceeds Threshold; and
2.5 December 16, 2006.
3. EXERCISE OR CONVERSION OF WARRANT.
3.1 Manner of Exercise or Conversion; Payment.
(a) Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof, in
whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Business Day on or
prior to the Expiration Date, by surrender of this Warrant to the Company
at its office maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof, accompanied by
a subscription in substantially the form attached to this Warrant (or a
reasonable facsimile thereof) duly executed by such holder and accompanied
by payment, in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company (or by
-iii-
any combination of such methods), in the amount obtained by multiplying (a)
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock (without giving effect to any
adjustment thereof) designated in such subscription by (b) the Exercise
Price, and such holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of
Class A Common Stock determined as provided in Section 4 hereof.
(b) Conversion. This Warrant may be converted by the holder hereof,
in whole or in part, into shares of Class A Common Stock, during normal
business hours on any Business Day on or prior to the Expiration Date, by
surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its office maintained pursuant
to Section 11.2(a) hereof, accompanied by a conversion notice in
substantially the form attached to this Warrant (or a reasonable facsimile
thereof) duly executed by such holder, and such holder shall thereupon be
entitled to receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient of:
(i) the excess of:
(A) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the product of (aa) the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined as
provided in Section 2 hereof which such holder would be
entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant for the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock designated in such
conversion notice multiplied by (bb) the Current Market
Price of each such share of Class A Common Stock so
designated and (y) the Current Market Price of any Other
Securities and the fair value of any other properly
(determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company) such holder would be entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Warrant for the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock designated in such conversion notice
over
(B) an amount equal to (x) the number of shares of Class A
Common Stock (without giving effect to any adjustment
thereof) designated in such conversion notice multiplied by
(y) the Exercise Price
divided by
(ii) such Current Market Price of a share of Class A Common
Stock.
-iv-
For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Section 3.1), any
reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include
a reference to the conversion of this Warrant into Class A Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(b).
3.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be
deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
Business Day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as
provided in Section 3.1 hereof, and at such time the Person or Persons in whose
name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock
shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3.3 hereof shall be
deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.
3.3 Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. As soon as practicable after each
exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within three
Business Days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by
it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and
delivered to the holder hereof or as such holder may direct:
(a) a certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock
to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of
any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash
in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Current Market Price per
share on the Business Day next preceding the date of such exercise; and
(b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants
of like tenor, dated the date hereof and calling in the aggregate on the
face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
equal to the number of such shares (without giving effect to any adjustment
thereof) called for on the face of this Warrant minus the number of such
shares designated by the holder upon such exercise as provided in Section
3.1 hereof.
4. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE.
4.1 General; Number of Shares; Warrant Price. The number of shares of
Class A Common Stock which the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
receive upon each exercise hereof shall be equal to the product of:
(a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which would otherwise
(but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable upon such
exercise, as designated by the holder hereof pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof, and
(b) a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Initial Warrant Price,
and (ii) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on the date
of such exercise.
-v-
The "Initial Warrant Price" shall be the Exercise Price. The "Warrant Price"
shall initially be the Initial Warrant Price, shall be adjusted and readjusted
from time to time as provided in this Section 4 and, as so adjusted or
readjusted, shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment
thereof is required by this Section 4. The "Trigger Price" shall initially be
$167 per share of Class A Common Stock and shall be adjusted and readjusted from
time to time as provided in this Section 4 and, as so adjusted or readjusted,
shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is
required by this Section 4.
4.2 Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits, etc.
(a) Dividends and Distributions. In case at any time or from time to
time, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall have received, or (on or
after the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders eligible
to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor:
(i) other or additional stock or Other Securities or property
(other than cash) by way of dividend, or
(ii) any cash, or
(iii) other or additional stock or other securities or property
(including cash) by way of spin-off, split-up,
reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares
or similar corporate rearrangement, other than additional
----- ----
shares of Class A Common Stock issued as a stock dividend
or in a stock-split (adjustments in respect of which are
provided for in Section 4.2(b) below),
then and in each such case the holder of this Warrant, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 3, shall be entitled, without the payment of
any additional consideration or the taking of any further action, to
receive the amount of stock, Other Securities and property (including cash
in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and (iii) of this Section
4.2(a)) which such holder would hold on the date of such exercise if on the
date hereof he had been the holder of record of the number of shares of
Common Stock provided for herein and had thereafter, during the period from
the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such
shares and all such other or additional stock and other securities and
property (including cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and
(iii) of this Section 4.2(a)) receivable by him as aforesaid during such
period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by
Section 4.
(b) Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In the event
that the Company shall (i) issue additional shares of Common Stock
Equivalents, or securities exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock
Equivalents, as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common
Stock Equivalents, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common
-vi-
Stock Equivalents, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock
Equivalents into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents,
then, in each such event, the Warrant Price and the Trigger Price shall,
simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying
each of the then current Warrant Price and Trigger Price by a fraction, (a)
the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to such event, and (b) the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
Equivalents outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Price and Trigger Price,
respectively, then in effect. The Warrant Price and Trigger Price, as so
adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any
successive event or events described herein in this Section 4.2(b). Upon
each adjustment of the Warrant Price or Trigger Price, the holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase at the Warrant Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by dividing
the product of the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately
prior to such adjustment and the Warrant Price immediately preceding such
adjustment by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.
4.3 Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case at any time or from
time to time the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with
or merge into any other person, (c) voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve,
liquidate or wind-up, or (d) transfer all or substantially all of its properties
or assets to any other person, then in each such case, as a condition thereto,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant,
on the exercise or conversion hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu
of the Class A Common Stock issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
dissolution, as the case may be, if such holder had so exercised this Warrant,
immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustments thereafter as
provided in Section 4.
4.4 Adjustment for Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents Below Trigger
Price.
(a) General. In any case to which Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereof are
not applicable, where the Company shall issue or sell shares of its Common
Stock Equivalents after December 16, 1999 without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the Trigger Price in effect pursuant to
the terms of this Warrant at the time of issuance or sale of such
additional shares, except where such shares are issued or sold pursuant to
the exercise of any warrant or option or issued prior to the date of this
Warrant, then the Warrant Price in effect hereunder shall simultaneously
with such issuance or sale be reduced to a price determined by multiplying
the Warrant Price then in effect hereunder by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the sum of (i) the product of the total number of shares of Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or
-vii-
sale multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect hereunder at the time of
such issuance or sale, plus (ii) the aggregate consideration received by
the Company upon such issuance or sale, and the denominator of which is the
product of the total number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
outstanding immediately after issuance or sale of such additional shares
multiplied by the Trigger Price in effect hereunder at the time of such
issuance.
(b) Options; Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall issue
or sell any Options or Convertible Securities after December 16, 1999 there
shall be determined the price per share for which Common Stock Equivalents
are issuable upon the conversion or exercise thereof, such determination to
be made by dividing (i) the sum of the total amount received or receivable
by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Options or
Convertible Securities plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the conversion or exercise
thereof, by (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
of the Company issuable upon the conversion or exercise of all of such
Options or Convertible Securities. If the price per share so determined
shall be less than the applicable Trigger Price, then, for purposes of
Section 4.4(a) hereof, such issue or sale shall be deemed to be an issue or
sale (as of the date of issue or sale of such Options or Convertible
Securities) of such maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents at
the price per share so determined and such maximum number of shares shall
be deemed to be outstanding after such issuance, provided that, upon the
expiration of such rights of conversion or exercise of such Options or
Convertible Securities, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the
adjusted Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the
price which it would have been had an adjustment been made on the basis
that the only shares of Common Stock Equivalents so issued or sold were
issued or sold upon the conversion or exercise of such Options or
Convertible Securities, and that they were issued or sold for the
consideration actually received by the Company upon such conversion or
exchange, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Company
for the issue or sale of all of such Options or Convertible Securities
which shall have been converted or exchanged.
(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock Equivalents for the purpose of entitling them (i) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock Equivalents, Options
or Convertible Securities, or (ii) to subscribe for or purchase Common
Stock Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date
shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock
Equivalents deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the
granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
4.5 Minimum Adjustment of Warrant Price and Trigger Price. If the amount
of any adjustment of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this Section 4 would
be less than one-tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price or
Trigger Price, as the case may be, in effect at
-viii-
the time such adjustment is otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall
be carried forward and adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and
together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any
other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one tenth
(1/10) of one percent (1%) of such Warrant Price or Trigger Price.
4.6 Shares Deemed Outstanding. For all purposes of the computations to be
made pursuant to this Section 4, treasury shares shall not be deemed to be
outstanding.
4.7 Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock
Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor (net of discounts,
commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock Equivalents, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be
the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
shall be the Current Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. For
purposes of this Warrant, the fair value of any consideration other than cash
and securities shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company
using its good faith discretion.
4.8 Integrated Transactions. In case any Options are issued in connection
with the issue or sale of Other Securities of the Company, together comprising
one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to
such Options by the parties thereto, the Options shall be deemed to have been
issued for a consideration of $1.00 (as adjusted consistent to give effect to
the occurrences set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3).
5. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares
of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise plus the amount deemed to have been paid
upon issuance of this Warrant, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time
to time outstanding, (c) will not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Class A Common
Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would
exceed the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock then authorized by the
Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue
upon such exercise.
6. REPORT AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in
the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant,
the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment
in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a report setting forth
such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of
calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or
-ix-
readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (b) the
Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted
and readjusted (if required by Section 4 hereof) on account thereof. The Company
will forthwith mail a copy of each such report to each holder of a Warrant and
will, upon the written request at any time of any holder of a Warrant, furnish
to such holder a like report setting forth the Warrant Price and the Trigger
Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was
calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all such reports at its office
maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof and will cause the same to be
available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by any
holder of a Warrant or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the
holder thereof.
7. NOTICES OF 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 or other distribution, 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
(b) the declaration by the Company of any dividend payable in stock
upon Common Stock Equivalents or any other distribution by the Company to
the holders of Common Stock Equivalents, or
(c) the Company proposing to make an offer for subscription pro rata
to the holders of its Common Stock Equivalents of any additional shares of
stock of any class or other rights, or
(d) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
Person, or
(e) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-
up of the Company, or
(f) any other action of a type referred to in Section 4 hereof,
the Company will mail to each holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) 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 such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, the time, if
any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Class A
Common Stock shall be entitled to
-x-
exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock for the securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up and a description in reasonable detail of the transaction. Such
notice shall be mailed at least 45 days prior to the date therein specified. At
no time prior to the date therein specified shall the Company take any action
which could prevent the exercise or conversion of this Warrant in accordance
with the terms hereof.
8. REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case the Company after
December 16, 1999 shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or
merge with or into any other entity, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of
its properties or assets to any other person or entity, then, in each such case,
the holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 3 at
any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Class
A Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to
which such holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such holder
had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4 hereof. The Company shall not
consummate any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer unless the
resulting, surviving or transferee entity, as the case may be, expressly agrees
in writing, reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Warrants
then outstanding, to fulfil the Company's obligations under this Warrant and
this Section 8.
9. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, issue or sale of securities or otherwise, avoid or take
any action which would have the effect of avoiding the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but
will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all of the provisions of
this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or
other impairment to the extent set forth in this Warrant.
10. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company will at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants, the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock of each class from time to time
issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants shall be duly
authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
11. OWNERSHIP, TRANSFER AND SUBSTITUTION OF WARRANTS.
11.1 Ownership of Warrants. The Company may treat the person in whose name
any Warrant is registered on the register kept at the office of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof as the owner and holder thereof

(3) other or additional stock or Other Securities or property
(including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification,

Stock issued as a stock dividend or in a stock split (adjustments
in respect of which are provided for in Section 3.2(b) below),
then and in each such case the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 2, shall be entitled without the payment of
any additional consideration or the taking of any further action, to
receive the amount of stock and Other Securities and property (including
cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and (iii) of this
Section 3.2(a)) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise
if on the date hereof such Holder had been the holder of record of the
number of shares of Common Stock provided for herein and had thereafter,
during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such
exercise, retained such shares and all such other or additional stock and
Other Securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in

called for during such period by this Section 3.

exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock Equivalents, as dividend
or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock Equivalents, (ii)

combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock Equivalents into a smaller
number of shares of the Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such event,

be adjusted by multiplying the then current Warrant Price by a fraction,
(a) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
Equivalents outstanding immediately prior to such event, and (b) the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
Equivalents outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so
obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Price then in effect. The Warrant
Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the
happening of any successive event or events described herein in this
Section 3.2. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Holder of this
Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase at the Warrant Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares obtained by dividing
the product of the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately
prior to such adjustment and the Warrant Price immediately preceding such
adjustment by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.
3.3 Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case at any time or
from time to time the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate
with or merge into any other Person, (c) voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve,
liquidate or wind-up, or (d) transfer all or substantially all of its properties
or assets to any other Person, then in each such case, as a condition thereto,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant,
on the exercise or conversion hereof as provided in Section 2 at any time after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu
of the Class A Common Stock issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such
consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property
(including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such
consummation or in connection with such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant,
immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustments thereafter as
provided in this Section 3.
3.4 Adjustment for Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents Below Warrant
Price.
(a) General. In any case to which Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof are
not applicable, where the Company shall issue or sell shares of Common
Stock Equivalents after December 16, 1999 without consideration or for a
consideration (or evidencing a value of Common Stock Equivalents) per share
less than the Warrant Price in effect pursuant to the terms of this Warrant
at the time of issuance or sale of such additional shares, except where
such shares are issued or sold pursuant to the exercise of any warrant or
option or issued prior to the date of this Warrant, then the Warrant Price
in effect hereunder shall simultaneously with such issuance or sale be
reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in
effect hereunder by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (i)
the product of the total number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the
Warrant Price in effect hereunder at the time of such issuance or sale,
plus (ii) the aggregate consideration received by the Company upon such
issuance or sale, and the denominator of which is the product of the total
number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately after
issuance or sale of such additional shares multiplied by the Warrant Price
in effect hereunder at the time of such issuance.
(b) Options; Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall
issue or sell any Options or Convertible Securities after December 16, 1999
there shall be determined the price per share for which Common Stock
Equivalents are issuable upon the conversion or exercise thereof, such
determination to be made by dividing (i) the sum of the total amount
received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or
sale of such Options or Convertible Securities plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the
conversion or exercise thereof, by (ii) the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock Equivalents of the Company issuable upon the conversion or
exercise of all of such Options or Convertible Securities. If the price per
share so determined shall be less than the applicable Warrant Price in
effect immediately prior to such issuance, then, for purposes of Section
3.4(a) hereof, such issue or sale shall be deemed to be an issue or sale
(as of the date of issue or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities)
of such maximum number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents at the price
per share so determined and such maximum number of shares shall be deemed
to be outstanding after such issuance, provided that, upon the expiration
of such rights of conversion or exercise of such Options or Convertible
Securities, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the adjusted
Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted and thereafter be the price
which it would have been had an adjustment been made on the basis that the
only shares of Common Stock Equivalents so issued or sold were issued or
sold upon the conversion or exercise of such Options or Convertible
Securities, and that they were issued or sold for the consideration
actually
received by the Company upon such conversion or exchange, plus the
consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issue or
sale of all such Options or Convertible Securities which shall have been
converted or exchanged.
(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock Equivalents for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock Equivalents, Options
or Convertible Securities, or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock
Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall
be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock
Equivalents deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the
granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
3.5 Minimum Adjustment of Warrant Price. If the amount of any adjustment
of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this Section 3 would be less than one-
tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price in effect at the time such
adjustment is otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be carried
forward and adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and together
with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other
amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one tenth (1/10)
of one percent (1%) of such Warrant Price.
3.6 Shares Deemed Outstanding. For all purposes of the computations to be
made pursuant to this Section 3, treasury shares shall not be deemed to be
outstanding.
3.7 Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock
Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor (net of discounts,
commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock Equivalents, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be
the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
shall be the Current Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. For
purposes of this Warrant, the fair value of any consideration other than cash
and securities shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company
using its good faith discretion.
3.8 Integrated Transactions. In case any Options are issued in connection
with the issue or sale of Other Securities of the Company, together comprising
one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to
such Options by the parties thereto, the Options shall be deemed to have been
issued for a consideration of $1.00 (as adjusted consistent to give effect to
the occurrences set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3).
4 NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares
of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise plus the amount deemed to have been paid
upon issuance of this Warrant, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time
to time outstanding, (c) will not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Class A Common
Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would
exceed the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock then authorized by the
Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue
upon such exercise.
5 REPORT AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment
in the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of (and the
Warrant Price under) this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant and prepare a report setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts
upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of
(a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be
outstanding, and (b) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue
or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if required by Section 3 hereof) on
account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such report to
each Holder of a Warrant and will, upon the written request at any time of any
Holder of a Warrant, furnish to such Holder a like report setting forth the
Warrant Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was
calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all such reports at its office
maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof and will cause the same to be
available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by any
Holder of a Warrant or any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the
Holder thereof.
6 NOTICES OF 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 or other distribution, 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
(b) the declaration by the Company of any dividend payable in stock
upon Common Stock Equivalents or any other distribution by the Company to
the holders of the Common Stock Equivalents, or
(c) the Company proposing to make an offer for subscription pro rata
to the holders of its Common Stock Equivalents of any additional shares of
stock of any class or other rights, or
(d) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or
recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation
or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any transfer of all
or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other Person, or
(e) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-
up of the Company, or
(f) any other action of a type referred to in Section 3 hereof,
the Company shall mail to each Holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) 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 such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, the time, if
any such time is to be fixed, as of which the Holders of record of Class A
Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock
for the securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and a description in reasonable detail of
the transaction. Such notice shall be mailed at least 45 days prior to the date
therein specified. At no time prior to the date therein specified shall the
Company take any action which could prevent the exercise or conversion of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof.
7 REGISTRATION OF WARRANTS AND COMMON STOCK. If any shares of Class A Common
Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (including without limitation the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976) before
such shares may be issued upon exercise, the Company shall, at its expense and
as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to cause such shares to be
duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The shares of Class A Common
Stock (and Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
constitute Registrable Shares (as such term is defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement). Each Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to all of the
benefits afforded to a Holder of any such Registrable Shares under the
Registration Rights Agreement. At any such time as the Class A Common Stock is
listed on any national securities exchange or quotation system, the Company
shall, at its expense, obtain promptly and maintain the approval for listing on
each such exchange or system, upon official notice of issuance, the shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants and
will use its best efforts to maintain the listing of such shares after their
issuance at all times when the Class A Common Stock is so listed.
8 REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case the Company after
December 16, 1999 shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or
merge with or into any other entity, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of
its properties or assets to any other person or entity, then, in each such case,
the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2 at
any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Class
A Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the stock and Other Securities and property (including cash) to
which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder
had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 3 hereof. The Company shall not
consummate any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer, unless
the resulting, surviving or transferee entity, as the case may be, expressly
agrees in writing, reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the
Warrants then outstanding, to fulfill the Company's obligations under this
Warrant and this Section 8.
9 PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, issue or sale of securities or otherwise, avoid or take
any action which would have the effect of avoiding the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but
will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all of the provisions of
this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or
other impairment to the extent set forth in this Warrant.
10 RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep
available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants, the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock of each class from time to time
issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants shall be duly
authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
11 OWNERSHIP, TRANSFER AND SUBSTITUTION OF WARRANTS.
11.1 Ownership of Warrants. The Company may treat the person in whose name
any Warrant is registered on the register kept at the office of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof as the owner and Holder thereof
for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, except that, if
and when any Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall
not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. A Warrant, if properly
assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without a new Warrant first having
been issued.
11.2 Office; Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.
(a) The Company will maintain an office in Wayne, Pennsylvania where
notices, presentations and demands in respect of this Warrant may be made
upon it. Such office shall be maintained at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ until such time as the Company shall notify the Holders of the
Warrants of any change of location of such office within the United States.
(b) The Company shall cause to be kept at its office maintained
pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof a register for the registration and
transfer of the Warrants. The names and addresses of Holders of Warrants,
the transfers thereof and the names and addresses of transferees of
Warrants shall be registered in such register. The Person in whose name any
Warrant shall be so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and
Holder thereof for all purposes of this Warrant, and the Company shall not
be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.
(c) Upon the surrender of any Warrant, properly endorsed, for
registration of transfer or conversion or for exchange at the office of the
Company maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder thereof
a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Holder or as
such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes)
may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the
Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.
11.3 Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant
held by a Person other than a purchaser or any institutional investor, upon
delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form and amount
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for
cancellation at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a)
hereof, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Warrant of like tenor and dated the date hereof.

17 REPURCHASE OF WARRANTS.
17.1 Right to "Put" Warrant. If a Realization Event (as defined in
Section 17.2 below) shall not have occurred prior to the fifth anniversary of
the date as of which this Agreement is executed and this Warrant becomes
exercisable within six months of such anniversary, Holders or any other holder
of this Warrant may, at any time and from time to time during the six month
period immediately thereafter, by notice to the Company (the "Put Notice"),

terminate upon the occurrence of a Realization Event (as defined in Section 17.2
below). Any Warrants not sold to the Company pursuant to this Section 17 shall
automatically convert into Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section
2.1(b) (provided that, for purposes of this Section 17, the Current Market Price
shall be the Market Price (as defined in Section 17.3(b) below)).
17.2 Realization Event. A "Realization Event" shall mean (a) a Qualified
Public Offering, or (b) a transaction in which all of the Holders' Warrants and

another Person, provided that such Other Securities are traded on a national
securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market and are not subject to any
restrictions under the Securities Act and such Person's outstanding Other
Securities
(other than those held by such Person's Affiliates) have an aggregate public
market value of not less than $500 million.
17.3 Purchase Price.
(a) Put Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Warrants
------------------
purchased by the Company pursuant to this Section 17 (the "Put Purchase
Price") shall be an amount equal to the Market Price (as defined below) on
the relevant Put Notice Date for the number of Other Securities that would
be obtained upon the exercise of the portion of such Warrant being
purchased.
(b) Market Price. "Market Price" shall mean the value on a specified
------------
date of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrant which
could be obtained in an initial public offering of such Class A Common
Stock. Within five Business Days of the Put Notice Date, the holders of the
Warrants shall suggest three investment banking firms, from which the
Company shall select one (the selected firm being the "Arbitrator"). The
Arbitrator shall be instructed to determine the Market Price consistent
with the first sentence of this Section 17.3(b), within thirty days from

shall bear interest, payable semiannually, at the Prime Rate plus 3.5% and shall
have a term of two years. The principal shall be payable in four equal
installments over the term of the Put Notes. The Company shall use its best
efforts to negotiate all senior debt obligations to permit the payment of any
Put Purchase Price as it becomes due. In the event that payments under the Put
Notes or payment of the Put Purchase Price would cause the Company to be in
default of the terms of its senior indebtedness, such payments can be deferred
until the earlier of (i) the first date on which Company could make such
payments without causing such a default and (ii) the third anniversary of the
Put Notice Date.
18 MISCELLANEOUS. Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the
observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with (i) the
written consent of the Company and the Holders or (ii) for all Warrants, the
written consent of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Warrants
then outstanding. This Warrant shall be binding upon any Person succeeding to
the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the domestic substantive laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to any choice or conflict of
law provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic
substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. The section headings in this
Warrant are for purposes of convenience only and shall not constitute a part
hereof.

reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include
a reference to the conversion of this Warrant into Class A Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.1
2.2 When Exercise Effective. Each exercise or conversion of this
Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of

1933, as amended, or under any state securities laws and may be offered, sold or
transferred only if registered pursuant to the provisions of such laws, or if in
the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, an exemption from such
registration is available."
3. ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE AND CLASS A COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON
EXERCISE.
3.1 General; Number of Shares; Warrant Price. The number of shares of
Class A Common Stock which the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to
receive upon each exercise hereof shall be equal to the product of:
(a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which would otherwise
(but for the provisions of this Section 3) be issuable upon such
exercise, as designated by the Holder hereof pursuant to Section 2.1
hereof, and
(b) a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the Initial Warrant Price,
and (ii) the denominator is the Warrant Price in effect on the date of
such exercise.
The "Initial Warrant Price" shall be the Exercise Price. The "Warrant Price"
shall initially be the Initial Warrant Price and shall be adjusted and
readjusted from time to time as provided in this Section 3 and, as so adjusted
or readjusted, shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment
thereof is required by this Section 3. The "Trigger Price" shall initially be
$835 per share of Class A Common Stock and shall be adjusted and readjusted from
time to time as provided in this Section 3 and, as so adjusted and readjusted,
shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is
required by this Section 3.
3.2 Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits, etc.
(a) Dividends and Distributions. In case at any time or from time to
time, the Holders of Class A Common Stock shall have received, or (on or
after the record date fixed for the determination of shareholders eligible
to receive) shall have become entitled to receive, without payment
therefor:
(1) other or additional stock or Other Securities or property
(other than cash) by way of dividend, or
(2) any cash, or
(3) other or additional stock or Other Securities or property
(including cash) by way of spinoff, split-up,
reclassification, recapitalization, combination of shares or
similar corporate rearrangement, other than additional
----- ----
shares of Class A Common Stock issued as a stock
-xxvi-
dividend or in a stock split (adjustments in respect of
which are provided for in Section 3.2(b) below),
then and in each such case the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise
hereof as provided in Section 2, shall be entitled without the payment of
any additional consideration or the taking of any further action, to
receive the amount of stock and Other Securities and property (including
cash in the cases referred to in subdivisions (ii) and (iii) of this
Section 3.2(a)) which such Holder would hold on the date of such exercise
if on the date hereof such Holder had been the holder of record of the
number of shares of Common Stock provided for herein and had thereafter,
during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such
exercise, retained such shares and all such other or additional stock and
Other Securities and property (including cash in the cases referred to in
subdivisions (ii) and (iii) of this Section 3.2(a)) receivable by such
Holder as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments
called for during such period by this Section 3.
(b) Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. In the event that
the Company shall (i) issue Common Stock Equivalents, or securities
exercisable for or convertible into Common Stock Equivalents, as dividend
or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock Equivalents, (ii)
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock Equivalents, or (iii)
combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock Equivalents into a smaller
number of shares of the Common Stock Equivalents, then, in each such event,
the Warrant Price and the Trigger Price shall, simultaneously with the
happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying each of the then
current Warrant Price and Trigger Price by a fraction, (a) the numerator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding
immediately prior to such event, and (b) the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately
after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the
Warrant Price and the Trigger Price, respectively, then in effect. The
Warrant Price and Trigger Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the
same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described
herein in this Section 3.2. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price or
Trigger Price, the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase at the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of
shares obtained by dividing the product of the number of shares purchasable
pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and the Warrant Price
immediately preceding such adjustment by the Warrant Price resulting from
such adjustment.
3.3 Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In case at any time or
from time to time the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate
with or merge into any other Person, (c) voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve,
liquidate or wind-up, or (d) transfer all or substantially all of its properties
or assets to any other Person, then in each such case, as a condition thereto,
lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant,
on the exercise or conversion hereof as provided in Section 2 at any time after
the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the
effective date of such
-xxvii-
dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Class A Common
Stock issuable on such exercise immediately prior to such consummation or such
effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to
which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in
connection with such reorganization, consolidation, merger or dissolution, as
the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior
thereto, all subject to further adjustments thereafter as provided in this
Section 3.
3.4 Adjustment for Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents Below Trigger
Price.
(a) General. In any case to which Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof
are not applicable, where the Company shall issue or sell shares of Common
Stock Equivalents after December 16, 1999 without consideration or for a
consideration (or evidencing a value of Common Stock Equivalents) per share
less than the Trigger Price in effect pursuant to the terms of this Warrant
at the time of issuance or sale of such additional shares, except where
such shares are issued or sold pursuant to the exercise of any warrant or
option or issued prior to the date of this Warrant, then the Warrant Price
in effect hereunder shall simultaneously with such issuance or sale be
reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in
effect hereunder by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (i)
the product of the total number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale multiplied by the
Trigger Price in effect hereunder at the time of such issuance or sale,
plus (ii) the aggregate consideration received by the Company upon such
issuance or sale, and the denominator of which is the product of the total
number of shares of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding immediately after
issuance or sale of such additional shares multiplied by the Trigger Price
in effect hereunder at the time of such issuance.
(b) Options; Convertible Securities. In case the Company shall
issue or sell any Options or Convertible Securities after December 16, 1999
there shall be determined the price per share for which Common Stock
Equivalents are issuable upon the conversion or exercise thereof, such
determination to be made by dividing (i) the sum of the total amount
received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or
sale of such Options or Convertible Securities plus the minimum aggregate
amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the
conversion or exercise thereof, by (ii) the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock Equivalents of the Company issuable upon the conversion or
exercise of all of such Options or Convertible Securities. If the price per
share so determined shall be less than the applicable Trigger Price, then,
for purposes of Section 3.4(a) hereof, such issue or sale shall be deemed
to be an issue or sale (as of the date of issue or sale of such Options or
Convertible Securities) of such maximum number of shares of Common Stock
Equivalents at the price per share so determined and such maximum number of
shares shall be deemed to be outstanding after such issuance, provided
that, upon the expiration of such rights of conversion or exercise of such
Options or Convertible Securities, if any thereof shall not have been
exercised, the adjusted Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted and
thereafter be the price which
-xxviii-
it would have been had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only
shares of Common Stock Equivalents so issued or sold were issued or sold
upon the conversion or exercise of such Options or Convertible Securities,
and that they were issued
or sold for the consideration actually received by the Company upon
such conversion or exchange, plus the consideration, if any, actually
received by the Company for the issue or sale of all such Options or
Convertible Securities which shall have been converted or exchanged.
(c) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of
Common Stock Equivalents for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a
dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock Equivalents, Options
or Convertible Securities, or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock
Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall
be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock
Equivalents deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such
dividend or upon the making of such other distribution or the date of the
granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
3.5 Minimum Adjustment of Warrant Price and Trigger Price. If the amount
of any adjustment of the Warrant Price required pursuant to this Section 3 would
be less than one-tenth (1/10) of one percent (1%) of the Warrant Price or
Trigger Price, as the case may be, in effect at the time such adjustment is
otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be carried forward and
adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any
subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or
amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one tenth (1/10) of one
percent (1%) of such Warrant Price or Trigger Price.
3.6 Shares Deemed Outstanding. For all purposes of the computations to be
made pursuant to this Section 3, treasury shares shall not be deemed to be
outstanding.
3.7 Calculation of Consideration Received. If any Common Stock
Equivalents, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to
have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor (net of discounts,
commissions and related expenses). If any Common Stock Equivalents, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash,
the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be
the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists
of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company
shall be the Current Market Price thereof as of the date of receipt. For
purposes of this Warrant, the fair value of any consideration other than cash
and securities shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company
using its good faith discretion.
3.8 Integrated Transactions. In case any Options are issued in connection
with the issue or sale of Other Securities of the Company, together comprising
one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to
such Options by the parties thereto, the Options
-xxix-
shall be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $1.00 (as adjusted
consistent to give effect to the occurrences set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3).
4. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company (a) will not permit the par value of any shares
of stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant to exceed the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise plus the amount deemed to have been paid
upon issuance of this Warrant, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully
paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time
to time outstanding, (c) will not take any action which results in any
adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Class A Common
Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would
exceed the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock then authorized by the
Company's certificate of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue
upon such exercise.
5. REPORT AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment
in the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of (and the
Warrant Price under) this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly
compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant and prepare a report setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and
showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts
upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of
(a) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be
outstanding, and (b) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue
or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if required by Section 3 hereof) on
account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such report to
each Holder of a Warrant and will, upon the written request at any time of any
Holder of a Warrant, furnish to such Holder a like report setting forth the
Warrant Price and the Trigger Price at the time in effect and showing in
reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will also keep copies of
all such reports at its office maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof and
will cause the same to be available for inspection at such office during normal
business hours by any Holder of a Warrant or any prospective purchaser of a
Warrant designated by the Holder thereof.
-xxx-
6. NOTICES OF 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 or other distribution, 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
(b) the declaration by the Company of any dividend payable in stock
upon Common Stock Equivalents or any other distribution by the Company to
the holders of the Common Stock Equivalents, or
(c) the Company proposing to make an offer for subscription pro rata
to the holders of its Common Stock Equivalents of any additional shares of
stock of any class or other rights, or
(d) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification
or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any
consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any
transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
Person, or
(e) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-
up of the Company, or
(f) any other action of a type referred to in Section 3 hereof,
the Company shall mail to each Holder of a Warrant a notice specifying (i) 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 such
dividend, distribution or right, and (ii) the date or expected date on which any
such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, the time, if
any such time is to be fixed, as of which the Holders of record of Class A
Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Class A Common Stock
for the securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization,
reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and a description in reasonable detail of
the transaction. Such notice shall be mailed at least 45 days prior to the date
therein specified. At no time prior to the date therein specified shall the
Company take any action which could prevent the exercise or conversion of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms hereof.
7. REGISTRATION OF WARRANTS AND COMMON STOCK. If any shares of Class A Common
Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require
registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or
state law (including without limitation the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976) before
-xxxi-
such shares may be issued upon exercise, the Company shall, at its expense and
as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to cause such shares to be
duly registered or approved, as the case may be. The shares of Class A Common
Stock (and Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
constitute Registrable Shares (as such term is defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement). Each Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to all of the
benefits afforded to a Holder of any such Registrable Shares under the
Registration Rights Agreement. At any such time as the Class A Common Stock is
listed on any national securities exchange or quotation system, the Company
shall, at its expense, obtain promptly and maintain the approval for listing on
each such exchange or system, upon official notice of issuance, the shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants and
will use its best efforts to maintain the listing of such shares after their
issuance at all times when the Class A Common Stock is so listed.
8. REORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case the Company after
December 16, 1999 shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or
merge with or into any other entity, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of
its properties or assets to any other person or entity, then, in each such case,
the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 2 at
any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or
transfer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Class
A Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon such exercise prior to such
consummation, the stock and Other Securities and property (including cash) to
which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder
had so exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further
adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 3 hereof. The Company shall not
consummate any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer, unless
the resulting, surviving or transferee entity, as the case may be, expressly
agrees in writing, reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the
Warrants then outstanding, to fulfill the Company's obligations under this
Warrant and this Section 8.
9. PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS. The Company shall not, by amendment of its
Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, issue or sale of securities or otherwise, avoid or take
any action which would have the effect of avoiding the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but
will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all of the provisions of
this Warrant and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate
in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against dilution or
other impairment to the extent set forth in this Warrant.
10. RESERVATION OF STOCK, ETC. The Company shall at all times reserve and
keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon exercise of the Warrants,
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock of each class from time to time
issuable upon exercise of all Warrants at the time outstanding. All shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants shall be duly
authorized and, when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
-xxxii-
11. OWNERSHIP, TRANSFER AND SUBSTITUTION OF WARRANTS.
11.1 Ownership of Warrants. The Company may treat the person in whose name
any Warrant is registered on the register kept at the office of the Company
maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof as the owner and Holder thereof
for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, except that, if
and when any Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall
not be obligated to) treat the bearer thereof as the owner of such Warrant for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. A Warrant, if properly
assigned, may be exercised by a new Holder without a new Warrant first having
been issued.
11.2 Office; Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.
(a) The Company will maintain an office in Wayne, Pennsylvania where
notices, presentations and demands in respect of this Warrant may be made
upon it. Such office shall be maintained at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ until such time as the Company shall notify the Holders of the
Warrants of any change of location of such office within the United States.
(b) The Company shall cause to be kept at its office maintained
pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof a register for the registration and
transfer of the Warrants. The names and addresses of Holders of Warrants,
the transfers thereof and the names and addresses of transferees of
Warrants shall be registered in such register. The Person in whose name any
Warrant shall be so registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and
Holder thereof for all purposes of this Warrant, and the Company shall not
be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.
(c) Upon the surrender of any Warrant, properly endorsed, for
registration of transfer or conversion or for exchange at the office of the
Company maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a) hereof, the Company at its
expense will execute and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder thereof
a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Holder or as
such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes)
may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the
number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the
Warrant or Warrants so surrendered.
11.3 Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any
Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant
held by a Person other than a purchaser or any institutional investor, upon
delivery of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company in form and amount
or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for
cancellation at the office of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a)
hereof, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Warrant of like tenor and dated the date hereof.
