Section 3. Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Warrant and this Agreement, including without limitation this Section 3 and Section 9, and securities law, each Warrant, when countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised, in whole or in part, on one or more occasions, on any Business Day by the Holder thereof during the Exercise Period applicable to such Warrant. Any exercise of a Warrant shall be effected by:

 

(i) delivery to the Warrant Agent at the office of the Warrant Agent, or, if applicable, at the office of its successor as Warrant Agent, of: (A) the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrant and (B) a written notice in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), properly completed and executed, stating that such Holder elects to exercise the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3, specifying the name or names in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued and making the appropriate securities law representation contained therein; and

 

(ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants. Such Exercise Price shall be payable (A) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Company, (B) by a certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or (C) by the surrender (which surrender shall be evidenced by cancellation of the number of Warrants represented by any Warrant certificate presented in connection with a Cashless Exercise (as defined below)), if applicable, of a Warrant or Warrants (represented by one or more relevant Warrant certificates), and without the payment of the Exercise Price in cash, in return for the delivery to the surrendering Holder of that number of shares of Common Stock equal to (I) the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable as of the date of exercise (assuming the Exercise Price were being paid in cash, wire transfer or certified or official bank check) reduced by (II) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate Exercise Price to be paid in respect of such shares of Common Stock by (y) the Market Price of one share of Common Stock on the Business Day which next precedes the day of exercise of the Warrant. An exercise of a Warrant in accordance with clause (C) is herein referred to as a “Cashless Exercise.” The documentation and consideration, if any, delivered in accordance with this Section 3(a) are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrant Exercise Documentation.

 

(b) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within five Business Days after receipt of the Warrant Exercise Documentation, the Company shall:

 

(i) deliver or cause to be delivered the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock properly specified in the Warrant Exercise Documentation in certificated form (a “Share Settlement”), which shall bear a legend, that such shares of Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act;

 

(ii) if applicable, deliver or caused to be delivered cash in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock, as hereinafter provided; and

 

 
3

 

 

(iii) if less than the full number of Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate are being exercised, deliver or cause to be delivered (and the Warrant Agent shall so deliver or cause to be delivered at the request of the Company) a new Warrant Certificate(s), of like tenor, for the number of Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate, less the number of Warrants then being exercised.

 

(c) An exercise shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of delivery of the Warrant Exercise Documentation so that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Person entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as having become the Holder of such shares of Common Stock at such time. A surrender of a Warrant Certificate for exercise during any period while the transfer books of the Company are closed shall become effective for exercise immediately upon the reopening of such books.

 

(d) The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges (other than income taxes of the Holder) that may be imposed in respect of, the issue or delivery of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants. The Company shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of any certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Holder of the Warrants as recorded in the Warrant Register.

 

(e) In connection with the exercise of any Warrants, no fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued, but in lieu thereof the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to such fractional interest multiplied by the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Business Day which next precedes the day of exercise. If more than one such Warrant shall be exercised by the Holder thereof at the same time, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the total number of Warrants so exercised.

 

Section 4. Adjustments.

 

(a) Adjustment of Number Issuable. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the valid exercise of a Warrant (the “Number Issuable”) shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i) In the event the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date:

 

(A) pay a dividend or make a distribution of Equity Securities on the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company;

 

(B) forward split or subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or

 

(C) reverse split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;

 

 
4

 

 

then, and in each such case (A) through (C), the Number Issuable in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company which such Holder would have owned or had been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4(a)(i) shall become effective retroactively (x) in the event of any such dividend or distribution, immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, or (y) in the event of any such split, subdivision, combination or reclassification, immediately prior to the close of business on the date upon which such corporate action becomes effective. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4(a)(i) for cash dividends or distributions of cash or property that are set aside, reserved and distributed pursuant to Section 7.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4(a), the Company shall be entitled to make such upward adjustments in the Number Issuable, in addition to those otherwise required by this Section 4(a), as the Board in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, split, subdivision or combination of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase shares, stock or securities or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock hereafter made the Company to its stockholders shall not be taxable; provided, however, that any such adjustment shall treat all holders of Warrants with similar protections on an equal basis.

 

(b) Reorganization, Reclassification. Consolidation. Merger or Sale of Assets. In the event of any capital reorganization or reclassification or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination), or in the event of any exchange, stock sale, consolidation or merger or other similar transaction involving the Company (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the resulting or surviving person and which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange, extinguishment, cancellation or other change of outstanding Common Stock), or in case of any sale or other disposition to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (any of the foregoing, a “Transaction”), each Holder of a Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction shall receive in connection with the consummation of such Transaction, in lieu of the Common Stock underlying the Warrant, the kind and amount of shares, stock or other securities (of the Company or another issuer) or property or cash receivable upon such Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such Transaction.

 

(c) Treatment of Expired or Terminated Equity Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged Equity Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment was made pursuant to this Section 4, the Number Issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 to the Number Issuable which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged Equity Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

 
5

 

 

(d) Minimum Adjustment of Number Issuable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the amount of any adjustment of the Number Issuable required pursuant to this Section 4 would be less than one percent (1%) of the Number Issuable in effect at the time such adjustment is otherwise so required to be made, then such amount shall be carried forward and adjustment shall be made with respect thereto at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment that, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one percent (1%) of such Number Issuable.

 

(e) Exclusions to Adjustments. No adjustment to the Number Issuable shall be made pursuant to this Section 4 in the event of any Excluded Issuance.

 

Section 5. No Redemptions. The Company shall not have any right to redeem any of the Warrants evidenced hereby.

 

Section 6. Certain Covenants

 

(a) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of capital stock of the Company which may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants will be duly authorized, validly issued, reserved for issuance and fully paid and non-assessable upon issuance.

 

(b) Certificate as to Adjustments. The Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent and each of the Holders at least five Business Days prior to the consummation of any transaction which would result in an increase or decrease in the Number Issuable pursuant to Section 4 (including, but not limited to, a Transaction) a notice thereof, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Number Issuable after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed to each of the Holders. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

 

(c) No Avoidance. The Company will not amend or modify any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Company in any manner that would adversely affect in any way the ability of the Company to validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, free and clear from all mortgage, deed of trust, hypothecation, lien, pledge, encumbrance, charge, security interest, judgment lien, easement, servitude or, in each case, any other similar encumbrance (other than as provided herein and restrictions created by a Holder).

 

Section 7. Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company declares a dividend or distribution, whether payable in cash or other property, that would be distributed to such Holder if such Holder’s Warrants had been converted in full into Common Stock immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, the Company shall set aside and reserve for the benefit of such Holder an amount of cash or other property, as applicable, that would have been distributed to such Holder, and such amounts shall be distributed to such Holder upon the exercise of such Holder’s Warrants.

Section 8. Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder. Except as specifically provided for herein (including, without limitation, Section 7), nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to (a) grant any Holder any rights to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company for any purpose, (b) confer upon any Holder any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, or (c) impose any liabilities on a Holder to purchase any securities or as a stockholder of the Company, whether asserted by the Company or creditors of the Company, prior to the issuance of the underlying shares of Common Stock.

 

Section 9. Certain Transfer and Exercise Restrictions.

 

(a) Transfer Restrictions Generally. For the avoidance of doubt, any Transfer of a Warrant shall be subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in Section 6.2 of the SPA.

 

(b) Limitations on Exercise.

 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Warrant may be exercised in contravention of applicable law, including without limitation, if applicable, Section 5 of the Securities Act or any of the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Warrant may be exercised (and the Company will have no obligation to effect any exercise) unless (i) all Required Regulatory Approvals (as defined in the SPA) have been obtained or (ii) after giving effect to the exercise, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates) would not own Voting Securities (as defined in the SPA) of the Company exceeding the Regulatory Ownership Cap (as defined in the SPA).

Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warrant Certificate and, in the event of loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent, or, in the event of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Warrant Agent will issue a new warrant certificate of like tenor for a number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate.

 

Section 11. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE WARRANTS ISSUED HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE).

 

Section 12. Rights Inure to Holder. The Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Holder thereof and the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder thereof any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under a Warrant Certificate, and such Warrant Certificate shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and such Holder.

Section 13. Warrant Agent.

 

(a) Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by any of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Global Operations Officer, the General Counsel or the Corporate Treasurer of the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

 

(b) Compensation and Indemnity.

 

(i) For services rendered hereunder, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as shall be agreed to in writing between the Company and the Warrant Agent and the Company promises to pay such compensation and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent.

 

(ii) The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers or directors for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability, regardless of who asserts such claim), incurred by the Warrant Agent that arises out of or in connection with its accepting appointment as, or acting as, Warrant Agent hereunder, except such losses, liabilities, damages, claims, costs or expenses as may result from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement by, the Warrant Agent, its Affiliates or any of its or their officers, directors, employees, managers, agents and advisors (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). The Warrant Agent shall notify the Company, by letter or facsimile transmission, of a claim against the Warrant Agent or of any action commenced against the Warrant Agent, promptly after the Warrant Agent shall have received written notice thereof (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law).

The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent.

(f) Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving 90 days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 60 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the Holder of a Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her, or its Warrant for inspection by the Company or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company), then the Company may serve as the Warrant Agent. If the Company does not agree to serve as the Warrant Agent within 10 days after such 60-day period, then the Holder of any Warrant may apply to the Court of Chancery within New Castle County in the State of Delaware (and any appellate court thereof located within such county) for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Holder’s cost. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.

(g) Merger or Consolidation of Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further action by any Person.

Section 14. Amendments; Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be modified or amended except pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants.

Section 15. Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument. This Agreement, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic delivery (i.e., by email of a PDF signature page), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or by electronic delivery as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

 

Section 17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future applicable laws during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, and the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a legal, valid, and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

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

 

Except as set forth in the Warrant Agreement, this Warrant does not entitle the registered holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.
