EXPLANATORY NOTE
     As previously disclosed, on May 28, 2009, Visteon Corporation and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions seeking relief pursuant to Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) (Consolidated Case No. 09-11786). On August 31, 2010, the Court entered an order confirming the Debtors’ joint plan of reorganization (as amended and supplemented, the “Plan”).
     Unless the context requires otherwise, references herein to “Visteon,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Visteon Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to our “common stock” refer to the common stock of Visteon Corporation.
Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered
     The following description of our capital stock assumes that the Plan, our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws have become effective. The following summary of the terms of our capital stock is not meant to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our second amended and restated bylaws and the provisions of applicable law. Copies of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws are filed as exhibits to this registration statement.
Authorized Capital Stock upon Emergence
     Visteon has the authority to issue a total of 300,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of:
    250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share; and
 
    50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Common Stock
     The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the future.
      Dividend Rights . Subject to limitations under Delaware law, preferences that may apply to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, and contractual restrictions, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends or other distributions when and if declared by the board of directors. In addition to such restrictions, whether any future dividends are paid will depend on decisions that will be made by the board of directors and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, contractual restrictions, corporate law restrictions, capital requirements and business prospects. The ability of the board of directors to declare dividends also will be subject to the rights of any holders of outstanding shares of our preferred stock and the availability of sufficient funds under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) to pay dividends.
      Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Visteon, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share in the net assets of Visteon available after the

2


Table of Contents

payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding class of our preferred stock.
      Preemptive Rights . Pursuant to our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights.
      Conversion Rights. Shares of our common stock are not convertible.
      Voting Rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of our preferred stock, each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of our common stock will not have cumulative voting rights.
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
     Pursuant to the Plan, we issued warrants to purchase 2,355,000 shares of our common stock to holders of our 12.25% senior notes issued (the “Noteholder Warrants”). The Noteholder Warrants have an exercise price of $9.66 per share of common stock. Each of the Noteholder Warrants expires ten years after the date of issuance. The warrants provide for a cashless exercise by the warrant holder. The warrant exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events including: stock subdivisions, combinations, splits, stock dividends, capital reorganizations, or capital reclassifications of common stock and in connection with certain distributions of cash, assets or securities.
     Pursuant to the Plan, we issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to holders of shares of our previously outstanding common stock, which were cancelled pursuant to Plan (the “Old Equity Warrants”). The Old Equity Warrants have an exercise price of $58.80 per share. Each of the Old Equity Warrants expires five years after the date of issuance. The Old Equity Warrants provide for a cashless exercise by the warrant holder. The warrant exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events including: stock subdivisions, combinations, splits, stock dividends, capital reorganizations, or capital reclassifications of common stock and in connection with certain distributions of cash, assets or securities. The warrants are not redeemable.
Preferred Stock
     Under the terms of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of series of preferred stock and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. If the board of directors decides to issue shares of preferred stock to persons supportive of current management, this could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Visteon by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. Authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock also could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of Visteon. To the extent required by 11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(6), Visteon is prohibited from issuing shares of nonvoting equity securities (within the meaning of such statute).

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and Delaware Law
      Provisions of Delaware Law. Visteon is a Delaware corporation subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 provides that, subject to certain exceptions specified in the law, a Delaware corporation shall not engage in certain “business combinations” with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder unless:
    prior to such time, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
 
    upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding certain shares; or
 
    at or subsequent to that time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
     Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years did own, 15% or more of the voting stock of the corporation.
     Under certain circumstances, Section 203 makes it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. The provisions of Section 203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring Visteon to negotiate in advance with our board of directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if our board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
      Board of Directors. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be fixed by the board of directors from time to time. The board of directors shall initially consist of the nine members identified in the Plan and shall always consist of not less than 3 nor more than 15 members. Under our second amended and restated bylaws, at all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, a plurality of the votes cash shall be sufficient to elect a director. Under our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws, a vote of a majority of all then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at an election of directors is required to remove a director with or without cause and fill the resulting vacancy, except that any director elected separately by the holders of any class or series of stock shall be subject to removal with or without cause at any time by such stockholders, who will fill the resulting vacancy. Vacancies resulting from newly created directorships by reason of an increase in the size of the board of directors shall be filled by a majority vote of the board of directors, provided a quorum is present. Further, vacancies resulting from reasons other than removal or an increase in the size of the board of directors shall be filled by a majority vote of the board of directors, even if less than a quorum. These provisions may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by this removal with its own nominees.

      Advance Notice Procedures. Our second amended and restated bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our corporate secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although our second amended and restated bylaws will not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our second amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the company.
      Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws provide that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by our chairman of the board, our chief executive officer, pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of our board of directors or by our secretary following receipt of on or more demands to call a special meeting of the stockholders, in accordance with the provisions of our second amended and restated bylaws, from stockholders who hold, in the aggregate, at least twenty percent of the voting power of all shares entitled generally to on the election of directors (without reference to any terms of any preferred stock).
      Authorized but Unissued Shares. Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or similar rules. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
      Limitations on Directors’ and Officers’ Liability. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of our directors to Visteon or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws also contain provisions generally providing for indemnification and prepayment of expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
      Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes the board of directors to adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provision of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our second amended and restated bylaws by a majority vote. The stockholders may also adopt, amend, alter or repeal our second amended and restated bylaws. Stockholder approval is also required to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our second amended and restated bylaws inconsistent with any provision in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our second amended and restated bylaws that requires a particular vote of stockholders in order to take the action specified in such provision.

      Tax Benefit Preservation. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides, subject to certain exceptions therein, that any attempted transfer of Visteon’s securities prior to the earliest of:
    December 31, 2019,
 
    the repeal, amendment or modification of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”) in such a way as to render the restrictions imposed by Section 382 no longer applicable to Visteon,
 
    the beginning of a taxable year of Visteon in which no net operating loss carryovers, capital loss carryovers, alternative minimum tax credit carryovers and foreign tax credit carryovers or any loss or deduction attributable to a net realized “built-in loss” within the meaning of Section 382 of Visteon or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (“Tax Benefits”) are available, and
 
    the date on which the limitation amount imposed by Section 382 in the event of an ownership change of Visteon, would not be materially less than the net operating loss carry forward or net unrealized built-in loss of Visteon (the “Restriction Release Date”), or
 
    any attempted transfer of Visteon’s securities pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to the Restriction Release Date,
     shall be prohibited and void ab initio insofar as it purports to transfer ownership or rights in respect of such stock to the purported transferee:
    if the transferor is a person or group of persons that is identified as a “5-percent shareholder” of Visteon pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.382-2T(g) other than a “direct public group” as defined in such regulation (a “Five-Percent Stockholder”), or
 
    to the extent that, as a result of such transfer, either any person or group of persons shall become a Five-Percent Stockholder or the percentage stock ownership interest in Visteon of any Five-Percent Stockholder shall be increased.
     These restrictions could prohibit or delay the accomplishment of an ownership change with respect to Visteon by (i) discouraging any person or group from being a Five-Percent Stockholder and (ii) discouraging any existing Five-Percent Stockholder from acquiring more than a minimal number of additional shares of Visteon’s stock.
      Business Opportunities. In recognition that our investors and their officers, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates and subsidiaries may serve as our directors and/or officers and that our investors may engage in similar activities or lines of business that we do, our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the allocation of certain business opportunities between us and our investors. Specifically, none of our investors or any officer, director, agent, stockholder, member, partner or affiliate of an investor has any duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business that we do. In the event that any investor acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a business opportunity for itself and us, we will not have any expectancy in such business opportunity, and the investor will not have any duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to us and may pursue or acquire such business opportunity for itself or direct such opportunity to another person. In addition, if a director or officer of us who is also an officer, director, agent, stockholder, member, partner or affiliate of any

6


Table of Contents

investor acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a business opportunity for us and an investor, we will not have any expectancy in such business opportunity unless such business opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of us.
     No such person shall be liable to Visteon or any of its subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to Visteon or its subsidiaries.
     These provisions of our certificate of incorporation are permitted by Section 122 of the DGCL, and, accordingly, we and all of our stockholders will be subject to them.
      Transactions with Interested Directors or Officers. In recognition that we may engage in material business transactions with one or more of our directors or officers, an entity in which one or more of our directors or officers are its directors or officers or have a financial interest, our second amended and restated bylaws provide that such a contract or transaction will not be void or voidable solely because a director or officer is interested, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because such person’s votes are counted for such purpose if:
    the material facts as to such person’s or persons’ relations or interest as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of disinterested directors, even though the number of disinterested directors may be less than a quorum; or
 
    the material facts as to such person’s or person’s relationship or interest as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or
 
    the contract or transaction is fair as to us as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders.

Percentage Stock Ownership ” means the percentage Stock Ownership interest as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation § 1.382-2T(g), (h), (j) and (k).

13


 

Corporation Securities by the Corporation in accordance with the Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Corporation dated August 31, 2010 (the “Chapter 11 Plan”).
          (c) The restrictions set forth in Paragraph (b) of this Article FIFTH shall not apply to an attempted Transfer that is a 5% Transaction if either the transferor or the transferee (1) gives written notice of such Transfer to the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof); and (2) obtains Board Approval.
          (d) Each certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued prior to the Restriction Release Date shall contain the legend set forth on Exhibit A hereto, evidencing the restrictions set forth in the Tax Articles.
           SIXTH : Treatment of Excess Securities.
          (a) No employee or agent of the Corporation shall record any Prohibited Transfer, and the purported transferee of such a Prohibited Transfer (the “Purported Transferee”) shall not be recognized as a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the Corporation Securities which are the

14


 

subject of the Prohibited Transfer (the “Excess Securities”). Until the Excess Securities are acquired by another person in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the Purported Transferee shall not be entitled with respect to such Excess Securities to any rights of stockholders of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof, if any. Once the Excess Securities have been acquired in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the Corporation Securities shall cease to be Excess Securities. For this purpose, any transfer of Excess Securities not in accordance with the provisions of this Article SIXTH shall also be a Prohibited Transfer.
          (b) If the Board of Directors determines that a Transfer of Corporation Securities constitutes a Prohibited Transfer then, upon written demand by the Corporation, the Purported Transferee shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the Purported Transferee’s possession or control, together with any dividends or other distributions that were received by the Purported Transferee from the Corporation with respect to the Excess

15


 

Securities (“Prohibited Distributions”), to an agent designated by the Board of Directors (the “Agent”). The Agent shall thereupon sell to a buyer or buyers, which may include the Corporation, the Excess Securities transferred to it in one or more arm’s-length transactions (over the New York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange on which the Corporation Securities may be traded, if possible, or otherwise privately); provided, however, that the Agent shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time frame if, in the Agent’s discretion, such sale or sales would disrupt the market for the Corporation Securities or otherwise would adversely affect the value of the Corporation Securities. If the Purported Transferee has resold the Excess Securities before receiving the Corporation’s demand to surrender Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported Transferee shall be deemed to have sold the Excess Securities for the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the Agent any Prohibited Distributions and proceeds of such sale, except to the extent that the Corporation grants written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain a portion of such sales proceeds not exceeding the amount that the

16


 

Purported Transferee would have received from the Agent pursuant to Paragraph (c) of this Article SIXTH if the Agent rather than the Purported Transferee had resold the Excess Securities.
          (c) The Agent shall apply any proceeds of a sale by it of Excess Securities and, if the Purported Transferee had previously resold the Excess Securities, any amounts received by it from a Purported Transferee as follows: (x) first, such amounts shall be paid to the Agent to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in connection with its duties hereunder; (y) second, any remaining amounts shall be paid to the Purported Transferee, up to (1) the amount paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities, or, if the Purported Transferee received the Excess Securities by gift, inheritance, or similar Transfer, (2) the fair market value of the Excess Securities (calculated as follows: (A) if the Corporation Securities are listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange, on the basis of the closing market price for the Corporation Securities on the day before the Prohibited Transfer, (B) if the Corporation Securities are not listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange but are traded in the over-the-counter market, based upon the difference between

17


 

the highest bid and lowest asked prices, as such prices are reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers through its NASDAQ system or any successor system on the day before the Prohibited Transfer or, if none, on the last preceding day for which such quotations exist, or (C) if the Corporation Securities are neither listed nor admitted to trading on any stock exchange nor traded in the over-the-counter market, then as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors as of the time of the Prohibited Transfer to the Purported Transferee), which amount (or fair market value) shall be determined by the Board of Directors; and (z) third, any remaining amounts, subject to the limitations imposed by the following proviso, shall be paid to one or more organizations qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code (or any comparable successor provision) (“Section 501(c)(3)”) selected by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that if the Excess Securities (including any Excess Securities arising from a previous Prohibited Transfer not sold by the Agent in a prior sale or sales), represent a 5% or greater Percentage Stock Ownership in any class of Corporation Securities, then any such remaining amounts to the extent attributable to the disposition of the portion of such Excess

18


 

Securities exceeding a 4.99% Percentage Stock Ownership interest in such class shall be paid to two or more organizations qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) selected by the Board of Directors. The recourse of any Purported Transferee in respect of any Prohibited Transfer shall be limited to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee pursuant to clause (y) of the preceding sentence. In no event shall the proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Paragraph (c) of this Article SIXTH inure to the benefit of the Corporation, except to the extent used to cover costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in performing its duties hereunder.
          (d) If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent within thirty days from the date on which the Corporation makes a written demand pursuant to Paragraph (b) of this Article SIXTH, then the Corporation shall use its best efforts to enforce the provisions hereof, including the institution of legal proceedings to compel the surrender. Nothing in this Paragraph (d) of this Article SIXTH shall (i) be deemed inconsistent with any Transfer of the Excess Securities provided in Article FIFTH and this Article SIXTH being void ab initio , (ii) preclude the Corporation in its discretion from

19


 

bringing legal proceedings without a prior demand or (iii) cause any failure of the Corporation to act within the time periods set forth in Paragraph (e) of this Article SIXTH to constitute a waiver or loss of any right of the Corporation under Article FIFTH and this Article SIXTH.
          (e) The Corporation shall make the written demand described in Paragraph (b) of Article FIFTH within thirty days of the date on which the Board of Directors determines that the attempted Transfer would result in Excess Securities; provided, however, that if the Corporation makes such demand at a later date, the provisions of Article FIFTH and this Article SIXTH shall apply nonetheless.
           SEVENTH : (a) Board Authority . The Board of Directors shall have the power to determine all matters necessary for assessing compliance with Articles FIFTH and SIXTH, including, without limitation, (i) the identification of Five-Percent Shareholders, (ii) whether a Transfer is a 5% Transaction or a Prohibited Transfer, (iii) the Percentage Stock Ownership in the Corporation of any Five-Percent Shareholder, (iv) whether an instrument constitutes a Corporation Security, (v) the Corporation’s

20


 

Market Capitalization, (vi) whether the Corporation is in a Restricted Period, (vii) the amount (or fair market value) due to a Purported Transferee pursuant to clause (y) Paragraph (c) of Article SIXTH, and (viii) any other matters which the Board of Directors determines to be relevant; and the good faith determination of the Board of Directors on such matters shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of Articles FIFTH and SIXTH.
          (b) Reliance . To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation and the members of the Board of Directors shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the information, opinions, reports or statements of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer or the corporate controller of the Corporation and the Corporation’s legal counsel, independent auditors, transfer agent, investment bankers or other employees and agents in making the determinations and findings contemplated by Articles FIFTH and SIXTH. The members of the Board of Directors shall not be responsible for any good faith errors made in connection therewith. For purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of any Corporation Securities owed by any stockholder, the Corporation is entitled to rely on the

21


 

existence and absence of filings of Schedule 13D or 13G under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or similar filings), as of any date, subject to its actual knowledge of the ownership of Corporation Securities.
          (c) Obligations to Provide Information . As a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Corporation Securities, any Person who is a beneficial, legal or record holder of Corporation Securities, and any proposed transferee and any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the proposed transferee, shall provide such information as the Corporation may reasonably request from time to time in order to determine compliance with Articles FIFTH and SIXTH or the status of the Tax Benefits of the Corporation and the Corporation shall keep such information confidential.
          (d) Benefits of the Tax Articles . Nothing in the Tax Articles shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Agent any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under the Tax Articles. The Tax Articles shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Agent.

22


 

          (e) Severability . The purpose of the Tax Articles is to facilitate the Corporation’s ability to maintain or preserve its Tax Benefits. If any provisions of the Tax Articles or the application of any such provision to any Person or under any circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Tax Articles.
          (f) Waiver . With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to the Corporation or the Agent under the Tax Articles, (i) no waiver will be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party; and (ii) no alteration, modification or impairment will be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise, or other indulgence.
           EIGHTH : The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

23


 

          (a) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
          (b) The Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than fifteen (15) members, the exact number of which shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the active Board of Directors; provided , however , that the number of director positions on the Board of Directors initially shall be nine (9) and shall consist of the nine (9) individuals (such individuals comprising the “Initial Board”) selected pursuant to the Board Selection Term Sheet that is part of the Confirmed Plan. To the extent that not all nine (9) members of the Initial Board are so selected prior to the effective date of the Confirmed Plan, such resulting vacancies on the Initial Board shall be filled subsequent to the effective date of the Confirmed Plan in accordance with the Board Selection Term Sheet.
          (c) Each director on the Initial Board (and any directors elected to fill vacancies or newly created directorships following the effective date of the Confirmed Plan and prior to the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to be held in 2011) shall serve until the annual meeting of stockholders of the

24


 

Corporation to be held in 2011, subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. In no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.
          (d) A director shall hold office until the following annual meeting of the stockholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.
          (e) Election of the directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide. If authorized by the Board of Directors, any requirement of a written ballot shall be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder.
          (f) Subject to the terms of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock, any vacancy on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office,

25


 

provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors (except as otherwise provided in this Article EIGHTH, including any vacancy on the Initial Board occurring as of the Effective Date, which vacancy shall be filled in accordance with the Board Selection Term Sheet) may be filled by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director or the whole Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause. Except as otherwise prohibited by law, the stockholders may remove any director and fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors created by such removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto.
          (g) The Board of Directors shall maintain at least the following four committees, to be comprised of directors that are not

26


 

employees of the Corporation: (i) an organization and compensation committee, (ii) an audit committee, (iii) a corporate governance and nominating committee and (iv) a finance committee (the duties of which shall include, without limitation, the evaluation of any bona fide proposal or offer from any party (other than the Corporation) that could reasonably be expected to result in, a major acquisition, disposition, divestiture, sale, merger or similar major transaction, or any major financing transaction, in each case for recommendation to the full Board of Directors).
          (h) In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the GCL, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders.
           NINTH : No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for

27


 

breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the GCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If the GCL is amended hereafter to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent authorized by the GCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article NINTH by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
           TENTH : The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law, as now or hereafter in effect, and such right to indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives; provided , however , that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify

28


 

any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred by this Article TENTH shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
          The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this Article TENTH to directors and officers of the Corporation.
          The rights to indemnification and to the advance of expenses conferred in this Article TENTH shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Corporation, any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

29


 

          The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the GCL.
          To the fullest extent permitted by Section 122(17) of the GCL, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity of any nature or type that is from time to time presented to, or comes to the attention of, any of the Investors (as such term is defined in the Confirmed Plan) or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates and subsidiaries (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries or any of their directors or officers acting as such (to the extent the business opportunity is brought to such director or officer solely in that capacity)), even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have

30


 

pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so; and no such person shall be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation or its subsidiaries. Any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this paragraph of this Article TENTH.
          The provisions of this Article TENTH shall be deemed to be a contract right between the Corporation and each person that is entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Article TENTH at any time while this Article TENTH and relevant provisions of the GCL or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article TENTH or any such law shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any rights to indemnification or to the advancement of expenses of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or

31


 

modification with respect to any acts, omissions, transactions or facts occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
           ELEVENTH : Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called (i) by the Board of Directors, (ii) by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (iii) by the President or (iv) upon the request of the holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the voting power of all shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled generally to vote on the election of directors of the Corporation (without reference to any terms of any preferred stock providing for special voting rights or restrictions with respect to particular matters) (the “ Voting Stock ”) then outstanding. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Voting Stock shall be required to alter, amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, this Article ELEVENTH or Article II, Section 3 of the Bylaws.
           TWELFTH : Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, and the ability of the stockholders to consent in writing to the taking of any action is hereby specifically denied.

32


 

           THIRTEENTH : Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the GCL) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.
           FOURTEENTH : In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended, the “ Bylaws ”). The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the entire Board of Directors shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The Corporation’s Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation.
           FIFTEENTH : The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation’s Bylaws or the GCL,

33


 

and all rights herein conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to such reservation; provided , however , that in addition to any other vote of stockholders (if any) required by law and notwithstanding that a lower vote (or no vote) of stockholders would otherwise be required, if any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation other than this Article FIFTEENTH requires a particular vote of stockholders in order to take the action specified in such provision, then such vote of stockholders shall be required in order to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision inconsistent with such provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

(a) Unless otherwise prescribed by law or by the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only (i) by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (ii) by the President, (iii) by the Board of Directors, pursuant to a resolution approved by the Board of Directors, or (iv) by the Secretary of the Corporation, following his or her receipt of one or more written demands to call a special meeting of the stockholders in accordance with, and subject to, this Section 3 from stockholders of record who hold, in the aggregate, at least twenty (20) percent of the voting power of all shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled generally to vote on the election of directors (without reference to any terms of any preferred stock providing for special voting rights or restrictions with respect to particular matters) then outstanding (the “Voting Stock”). Any stockholder seeking to call a special meeting of stockholders shall comply with the notice, administrative and other requirements of Section 9 of Article II in addition to the other requirements set forth in this Article II. The provisions set forth in this Section 3 may not be repealed or amended in any respect or in any manner, including by any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation (other than a Non-Affiliated Transaction), unless the surviving corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws contains a provision to the same effect as this Section 3, except by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Voting Stock, subject to the terms of any series of

2


 

preferred stock that may at the time be outstanding. For the purpose of these Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, a “Non-Affiliated Transaction” shall mean a merger or consolidation with a person or entity that is not an Affiliate (as such term is defined in Section 12b-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Corporation and which results in either (i) the Voting Stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto representing immediately thereafter (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) less than a majority of the combined voting power of the Voting Stock of the Corporation or such surviving, acquiring or resulting entity outstanding immediately after such transaction or (ii) a majority of the Corporation’s directors ceasing to be directors of the surviving, acquiring or resulting entity after the completion of such transaction.
      Section 4. Notice of Meetings; Postponement or Cancellation . Written notice of a meeting of stockholders, stating the place, if any, day and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given, either personally or by mail, by the Corporation not less than ten (10) calendar days nor more than sixty (60) calendar days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at such person’s address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Second Amended and Restated By-Laws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission if consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such

3


 

consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed to be revoked if (a) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided , however , that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given by electronic transmission, as described above, shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network, together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders of which notice (or any supplement thereto) shall have been given in accordance herewith. Any proper matter for stockholder action may be brought before any meeting of stockholders. Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are present, or if notice is waived in accordance with Section 2 of Article VI by those not present or not provided notice. Any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, other than a special meeting called at the request of holders of shares of the Corporation in accordance with Section 3 of this Article II, may be postponed or cancelled by resolution of the Board of Directors upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of stockholders. A meeting of the stockholders called at the request of holders of shares in the Corporation in accordance with Section 3, may not be postponed or cancelled, except with the written consent of the holders of

4


 

shares requesting such meeting.
      Section 5. Conduct of Meetings . The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of any meeting of the stockholders as it shall deem appropriate, which rules and regulations shall not be inconsistent with the Certificate of Incorporation or these Second Amended and Restated By-Laws. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of the stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (d) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. If the Chairman of the Board of Directors (or, in his absence, the President) is unable to attend any meeting of stockholders (or if there be no Chairman of the Board of Directors (or, in his absence, the President)), the stockholders of the Corporation present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall appoint a chairman for such meeting.
      Section 6. Quorum . Except as otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to

5


 

vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.
      Section 7. Proxies . Any stockholder entitled to vote may do so in person or by his or her proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder or by his or her attorney thereunto authorized, delivered to the Secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless said proxy provides for a longer period. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority:
     (i) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or his or her authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing

6


 

his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.
     (ii) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.
Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.
      Section 8. Voting .
     (a) At all meetings of the stockholders at which a quorum is present, except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, any other question brought before any meeting of stockholders (except with respect to the vote for the election of directors which shall be governed by Section 1 of Article III) shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of the capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on such question, voting as a single class.

7


 

     (b) The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders, in his or her discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot, which may be deemed satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission.
      Section 9. Nature of Business at Meetings of Stockholders . (a) At any meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before a meeting, business must be (i) brought before the meeting by the Corporation and specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (ii) brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who (A) was a stockholder of record (and, with respect to any beneficial owner, if different, on whose behalf such business is proposed, only if such beneficial owner was the beneficial owner of shares of the Corporation) both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 9 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with this Section 9 as to such business. Except for proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, and included in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, the foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before any meeting of the stockholders. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the Board must comply with Section 2 of Article III and this Section 9 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Section 2 of Article III.
     (b) Without qualification, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice (as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation, and (ii) provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 9. To be timely, a

8


 

stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided , however , that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than thirty (30) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the ninetieth (90 th ) day prior to such meeting or, if later, the tenth (10 th ) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such meeting was first made (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, for purposes of determining whether a stockholder’s notice is Timely Noticed, for the annual meeting of stockholders in 2011, the stockholder’s notice must have been received no later than March 1, 2011. Subject to the information requirements of this Section 9, any special meeting called by stockholders pursuant to Section 3 shall be preceded by a notice of such stockholders to the Secretary, which shall be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days or more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date specified in such notice for such special meeting. The date for such stockholder-called special meeting shall be as specified in such notice and the location shall be as determined by the Board of Directors. In no event shall any adjournment of a meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of Timely Notice as described above.
     (c) To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 9, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth:
     (i) As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (A) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable, the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records); and (B) the class or series and number of shares of

9


 

the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such Proposing Persons (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are referred to as “Stockholder Information”);
     (ii) As to each Proposing Person, any information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clause are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these Second Amended and Restated Bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner;
     (iii) As to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (A) a reasonably brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (B) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration), and (C) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any

10


 

other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and
     (iv) As to each Proposing Person, a representation that such Proposing Person intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring such business before the meeting.
     For purposes of this Section 9, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before a meeting and (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting is made.
     (d) A stockholder providing notice of business proposed to be brought before a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 9 shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting, if practicable (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to) any adjournment or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).
     (e) Notwithstanding anything in these Second Amended and Restated Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any meeting except in accordance with this Section 9;

11


 

provided, however, that once business has been properly brought before a meeting, nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of such business. The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 9, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted; provided, that any stockholder proposing to bring any such business before any such meeting is informed of any deficiency in such procedures as soon as practicable and given a reasonably opportunity to cure any such deficiency.
     (f) This Section 9 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before any meeting of stockholders other than any proposal made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. In addition to the requirements of this Section 9 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before a meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business. Nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
     (g) For purposes of these Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
     (h) The provisions set forth in this Section 9 may not be repealed or amended in any respect or in any manner, including by any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation (other than a Non-Affiliated Transaction), unless the surviving corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws contains a provision to the same effect as this Section 9, except

12


 

by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Voting Stock, subject to the terms of any series of preferred stock that may at the time be outstanding.
      Section 10. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote . The officer of the Corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of the Corporation who is present.
      Section 11. Stock Ledger . The stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by Section 9 of this Article II or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders
      Section 12. Record Date . In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date: (1) in the case of determination of stockholders

13


 

entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting; and (2) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (1) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (2) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
      Section 13. Inspectors of Election . In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board by resolution or the Chairman or President shall appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more other persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is present, ready and willing to act at a meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Unless otherwise required by law, inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector shall have the duties prescribed by law and shall take charge of the polls and, when the vote is completed, shall make a certificate of the result of the vote taken and of such other facts as may be required by law.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything in these Second Amended and Restated Bylaws to the contrary, no person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with this Section 2. The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in accordance with this Section 2, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare such determination to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded; provided, that any Nominating Person is informed of any deficiency in such nomination procedures as soon as practicable and given a reasonably opportunity to cure any such deficiency.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION
      Section 1. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings Other than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation . (a)Subject to Section 3 of this Article VIII, the Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted and in the manner required, by the laws of the State of Delaware as in effect from time to time shall indemnify in accordance with the following provisions of this Article VIII, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including any appeal thereof), whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, executive or managerial employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of, or to serve the interests of, the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, fiduciary, executive, managerial employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, including any charitable or not for profit public service organization or trade association (an “Affiliated Entity”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not

35


 

opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify against any amount paid in settlement unless the Corporation has consented to such settlement. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
     (b) The Corporation may indemnify any employee or agent of the Corporation in the manner and to the same or a lesser extent that it shall indemnify any director, officer, executive or managerial employee under Section 1(a) of this Article VIII.

36


 

with such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
     (b) The Corporation may indemnify any employee or agent of the Corporation in the manner and to the same or a lesser extent that it shall indemnify any director, officer, executive or managerial employee under Section 2(a) of this Article VIII.
      Section 3. Authorization of Indemnification . Any indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or by majority vote of the members of a committee of the Board of Directors composed of at least three (3) members each of whom is not a party to such action, suit or proceeding; (b) if there are no such directors, or if such committee is not established or obtainable, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (c) by the stockholders. To the extent, however, that a director, officer or employee of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in

37


 

Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.
      Section 4. Good Faith Defined . For purposes of any determination under Section 3 of this Article VIII, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or an Affiliated Entity, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or an Affiliated Entity in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or an Affiliated Entity or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or an Affiliated Entity by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or an Affiliated Entity. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be.
      Section 5. Indemnification by a Court . Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director, officer, executive or managerial employee may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VIII. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a

38


 

determination by such court that indemnification of the director, officer, executive or managerial employee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article VIII, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article VIII nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director, officer, executive or managerial employee seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director, officer, executive or managerial employee seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.
      Section 6. Expenses Payable in Advance . Expenses incurred by a director, officer, executive or managerial employee in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director, officer, executive or managerial employee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VIII.
      Section 7. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses .

39


 

office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 1 and Section 2 of this Article VIII shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      Section 9. Certain Definitions . For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, executives and managerial employees, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, executive or managerial employee of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, executive or managerial employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, including any charitable or not for profit public service or organization or trade association, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and

40


 

references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, executive, managerial employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, executive, managerial employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VIII.
      Section 10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses . The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
      Section 11. Limitation on Indemnification . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5 hereof), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director, officer or employee (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors.
      Section 12. Indemnification of Agents . The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to other employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those

FORM OF
WARRANT AGREEMENT
by and between
VISTEON CORPORATION
and
MELLON INVESTOR SERVICES LLC,
as Warrant Agent
Dated as of October 1, 2010
 
 

 


 

FORM OF
WARRANT AGREEMENT
     This WARRANT AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, this “ Warrant Agreement ”), is entered into as of October 1, 2010, by and between VISTEON CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and Mellon Investor Services LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (operating with the service name BNY Mellon Shareowner Services), as warrant agent (together with any successor appointed pursuant to Section 20 hereof, the “ Warrant Agent ”).
      WHEREAS , pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Visteon Corporation and its debtor affiliates pursuant to chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “ Bankruptcy Code ”) filed on August 31, 2010 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 09-11786 (CSS) (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ Plan ”), the Company proposes to issue Warrants (the “ Warrants ”) entitling the holders thereof to purchase up to 1,577,951 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“ Common Stock ”) together with any other securities, cash or other property that may be issuable upon exercise of a Warrant as shall result from the adjustments specified in Section 12 hereof at an exercise price of $58.80 per share of Common Stock, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 12 hereof (the “ Exercise Price ”);
      WHEREAS , the Warrants are being issued pursuant to, and upon the terms and conditions set forth in, the Plan in an offering in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) afforded by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and of any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws;
      WHEREAS , the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance of Warrants and other matters as expressly provided herein; and
      WHEREAS , for purposes of this Warrant Agreement, “person” shall be interpreted broadly to include an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint stock company, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, national banking association, trust, trustee, estate, unincorporated organization, government, governmental unit, agency, or political subdivision thereof, or other entity and shall include any successor (by merger or otherwise) of such person.
      NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
      SECTION 1 Appointment of Warrant Agent . The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as warrant agent for the Company in respect of the Warrants upon the express terms and subject to the express conditions herein set forth (and no implied terms or conditions), and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment, upon the express terms and express conditions hereinafter set forth.
      SECTION 2 Issuance of Warrants . In accordance with Section 5 hereof and the Plan and subject to the next sentence, the Company will cause to be issued to the Depository (as defined below), one or more Global Warrant Certificates (as defined below) evidencing the Warrants. At the election of a holder of Warrants and in lieu of holding Warrants through the Depository, such holder may elect to be issued Warrants by book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent (“ Book-Entry Warrants ”) and such Warrants shall be evidenced by statements issued by the Warrant Agent from time to time to the registered holder of book-entry Warrants reflecting such book-entry position (the “ Warrant Statement ”). Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon proper exercise and payment of the applicable Exercise Price, to receive from the Company, one share of Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 12 hereof). The shares of Common Stock or (as provided pursuant to Section 12 hereof) other

 


 

shares of capital stock deliverable upon proper exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “ Warrant Shares .” The words “ holder ” or “ holders ” as used herein in respect of any Warrants or Warrant Shares, shall mean the registered holder or registered holders thereof.
      SECTION 3 Warrant Certificates . Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Warrants shall be issued (1) via book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent and evidenced by a Warrant Statement, and/or (2) in the form of one or more global certificates (the “ Global Warrant Certificates ”), the forms of election to exercise and of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Warrant Statements and Global Warrant Certificates may bear such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Warrant Agreement, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Depository (as hereinafter defined), any law or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with any rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by (i) in the case of Global Warrant Certificates, the Appropriate Officers (as hereinafter defined) executing such Global Warrant Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Global Warrant Certificates, or (ii) in the case of a Warrant Statement, any Appropriate Officer, and all of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Warrant Agent. The Global Warrant Certificates shall be deposited on or after the date hereof with, or, so long as the Warrant Agent is Mellon Investor Services LLC, with The Bank of New York Mellon as custodian for, The Depository Trust Company (the “ Depository ”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the Depository’s nominee. Each Global Warrant Certificate shall represent such number of the outstanding Warrants as specified therein, and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement.
      SECTION 4 Execution of Warrant Certificates . Global Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, any Vice President, its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary (each, an “ Appropriate Officer ”). Each such signature upon the Global Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a facsimile or other electronically transmitted signature (including, without limitation, electronic transmission in portable document format (.pdf)) of any such Appropriate Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Global Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile or other electronically transmitted signature of any Appropriate Officer who shall have been an Appropriate Officer at the time of entering into this Warrant Agreement. If any Appropriate Officer who shall have signed any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such Appropriate Officer before the Global Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent or delivered by the Company, such Global Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though such Appropriate Officer had not ceased to be such Appropriate Officer of the Company; and any Global Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Global Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper Appropriate Officer of the Company to sign such Global Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such Appropriate Officer.
     Global Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by the Warrant Agent and shall represent one or more whole Warrants.
      SECTION 5 Registration and Countersignature . Upon receipt of a written order of the Company, the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall (i) register in the Warrant Register (as defined below) the Book-Entry Warrants as well as any Global Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Warrant Agreement and (ii) upon receipt of the Global Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign one or more Global Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants and shall deliver such Global Warrant Certificates

2


 

to or upon the written order of the Company. Such written order of the Company shall specifically state the number of Warrants that are to be issued as Book-Entry Warrants and the number of Warrants that are to be issued as one or more Global Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant (including the Book Entry Warrants and each Global Warrant Certificate) shall be, and shall remain, subject to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement until such time as all of the Warrants evidenced thereby shall have been duly exercised or shall have expired or been canceled in accordance with the terms hereof. Each holder of Warrants shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Warrant Agreement (a copy of which is available on request to the Secretary of the Company) as fully and effectively as if such holder had signed the same.
     No Global Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Global Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Global Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that such Global Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.
     The Warrant Agent shall keep, at an office designated for such purpose, books (the “ Warrant Register ”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register the Book-Entry Warrants as well as any Global Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or charge that may be imposed on the holder of a Warrant in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to effect an exchange or register a transfer unless and until any payments required by the immediately preceding sentence have been made.
     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of any Warrant in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent and the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing made in a Global Warrant Certificate by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the holder of the Warrant thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
      SECTION 6 Registration of Transfers and Exchanges .
          (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or Beneficial Interests Therein . The transfer and exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Warrant Agreement and the procedures of the Depository therefor.
          (b) Exchange of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for a Book-Entry Warrant .
               (i) Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate may, upon request, exchange such beneficial interest for a Book-Entry Warrant. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent from the Depository or its nominee of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depository on behalf of any person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate to be reduced by the number of Warrants to be represented by the Book-Entry Warrants to be issued in exchange for the beneficial interest of such person in the Global Warrant Certificate and, following such reduction, the Warrant Agent shall register in the name of the holder a Book-Entry Warrant and deliver to said Warrant holder a Warrant Statement.

3


 

               (ii) Book-Entry Warrants issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Section 6(b ) shall be registered in such names as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall deliver such Warrant Statements to the persons in whose names such Warrants are so registered.
          (c) Transfer and Exchange of Book-Entry Warrants . Book-Entry Warrants surrendered for exchange or for registration of transfer shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Book-Entry Warrants shall then be disposed of by or at the direction of the Company in accordance with applicable law. When Book-Entry Warrants are presented to or deposited with the Warrant Agent with a written request:
               (i) to register the transfer of the Book-Entry Warrants; or
               (ii) to exchange such Book-Entry Warrants for an equal number of Book-Entry Warrants of other authorized denominations,
then in each case the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided , however , that the Warrant Agent has received a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing.
          (d) Exchange or Transfer of a Book-Entry Warrant for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate . Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of appropriate written instruments of transfer with respect to a Book-Entry Warrant, in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to direct the Depository to make, an endorsement on the Global Warrant Certificate to reflect an increase in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Book-Entry Warrant (such instruments of transfer and instructions to be duly executed by the holder thereof or the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, such signatures to be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution to the extent required by the Warrant Agent or the Depositary), then the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Book-Entry Warrant on the Warrant Register and cause, or direct the Depository to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate to be increased accordingly. If no Global Warrant Certificates are then outstanding, the Company shall issue, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, a new Global Warrant Certificate representing the appropriate number of Warrants.
          (e) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates . Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Warrant Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in Section 6(f ) hereof), unless and until it is exchanged in whole for a Book-Entry Warrant, a Global Warrant Certificate may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
          (f) Book-Entry Warrants . If at any time:
               (i) the Depository for the Global Warrant Certificates notifies the Company that the Depository is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Global Warrant Certificates and a successor Depository for the Global Warrant Certificates is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or
               (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in writing that all Warrants shall be exclusively in the form of Book-Entry Warrants, then the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of written instructions signed by an Appropriate Officer of the Company and all other necessary information, shall

4


 

register Book-Entry Warrants, in an aggregate number equal to the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificates, in exchange for such Global Warrant Certificates, in such names and in such amounts as directed by the Depository or, in the absence of instructions from the Depository, the Company.
          (g) Cancellation of Global Warrant Certificate . At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Warrant Certificates have either been exchanged for Book-Entry Warrants, redeemed, exercised, repurchased or cancelled, all Global Warrant Certificates shall be returned to, or cancelled and retained pursuant to applicable law by, the Warrant Agent, upon written instructions from the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent.
          (h) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants .
               (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign Global Warrant Certificates and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to register Book-Entry Warrants, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 hereof and this Section 6 and for the purpose of any distribution of additional Global Warrant Certificates contemplated by Section 12 hereof.
               (ii) All Book-Entry Warrants and Global Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Book-Entry Warrants or Global Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement as the Book-Entry Warrants or Global Warrant Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
               (iii) So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Warrant Certificate, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the sole owner or holder of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant Certificate for all purposes under this Warrant Agreement. Except as provided in Sections 6(b ) and 6(f ) hereof upon the exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for a Book-Entry Warrant, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Warrant Certificate will not be entitled to have any Warrants registered in their names, and will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Warrants and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Warrants or this Warrant Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, in its capacity as registrar for such Warrants, will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to beneficial interests in a Global Warrant Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair the operation of customary practices of the Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate.
               (iv) Subject to Sections 6(b ), (c) and (d) hereof and this Section 6(h ), the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of all information required to be delivered hereunder, from time to time register the transfer of any Book-Entry Warrants in the Warrant Register and the transfer of any Global Warrant Certificates in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of the Global Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants at the Warrant Agent office designated for such purpose, which shall be located at 480 Washington Boulevard, 29 th Floor, Jersey City, NJ 07310 or such other location in the United States as the Warrant Agent shall determine; provided that the Warrant Agent provides written notice of such determination to the Company and the Warrant holders (the “ Warrant Agent Office ”), duly endorsed, and accompanied by a completed form of assignment (or with respect to a Book-Entry Warrant, only such completed form of assignment), duly signed by the holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution to the extent required by the Warrant Agent or the Depositary.

     Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate or a Warrant Statement, as the case may be, shall be issued to the transferee.
      SECTION 7 Acknowledgment ; Securities Law Compliance . Each Warrant holder, by its acceptance of any Warrant under this Warrant Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that the Warrants were issued, and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof shall be issued, pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, and to the extent that a Warrant holder (or holder of Warrant Shares) is an “underwriter” as defined in Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, such holder may not be able to sell or transfer any Warrants or Warrant Shares in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration thereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained herein (but without limiting or modifying any express obligation of the Warrant Agent hereunder), the Warrant Agent shall not be under any duty or responsibility to ensure compliance by the Company, any Warrant holder (or holder of Warrant Shares) or any other person with any applicable federal or state securities or bankruptcy laws.
      SECTION 8 Terms of Warrants ; Exercise of Warrants .
          (a) Subject to the terms of this Warrant Agreement, each Warrant holder shall have the right, which may be exercised at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the period commencing on the date of original issuance of the Warrant Certificates pursuant to the terms of this Warrant Agreement and ending at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on October 1, 2015 (the “ Expiration Date ”), to exercise each Warrant and receive from the Company the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect for such Warrant Shares.

          (b) Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 12, each Warrant, when exercised, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at the Exercise Price then in effect for such share of Common Stock.

          (e) To the extent a Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered in respect of a Warrant prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, but the deliveries and payments specified in Sections 8(a)(ii ) and 8(a)(iii ) above are effected thereafter but no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Settlement Date, the Warrants shall be nonetheless deemed exercised prior to the Expiration Date for the purposes of this Warrant Agreement.
          (f) Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 12 hereof, each Warrant, when exercised, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at the Exercise Price then in effect.

          (i) Any exercise of a Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a binding agreement between the holder and the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms; provided that a holder may condition its exercise of a Warrant on the consummation of a Reorganization Event (as defined below).
          (j) The Warrant Agent shall:

               (ii) where a Warrant Exercise Notice or other document appears on its face, in the Warrant Agent’s reasonable judgment, to have been improperly completed or executed or some other irregularity in connection with the exercise of the Warrant exists, the Warrant Agent shall endeavor to inform the appropriate parties (including the person submitting such instrument) of the need for fulfillment of all requirements, specifying those requirements which appear to be unfulfilled;

               (v) subject to the Warrant Shares being made available to the Warrant Agent by or on behalf of the Company for delivery to the Depository, liaise with the Depository and endeavor to effect such delivery to the relevant accounts at the Depository in accordance with its requirements.

               (ii) if such holder holds the Warrants being exercised in the form of Book-Entry Warrants, a book-entry interest in the Warrant Shares registered on the books of the transfer agent for the Company’s Common Stock (such agent, in such capacity, as may from time to time be appointed by the Company, the “ Transfer Agent ”) or, at the Company’s option, by delivery to the address designated by such holder in its Warrant Exercise Notice of a physical certificate or certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such holder. Such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date of the delivery thereof.
     Warrants shall be exercisable during the period provided for in Section 8(a ) at the election of the holder thereof, either as an entirety or from time to time for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants.

The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares are to be issued (or such Warrant Shares are to be registered, in the case of a book-entry transfer) upon exercise of a Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date such Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered.
          (m) For purposes of this Warrant Agreement, a “ business day ” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York or New Jersey are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close or remain closed.

The Warrant Agent shall confirm such information to the Company in writing.

The Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Warrant Agreement as the Warrant Agent may reasonably request.
      SECTION 9 Payment of Taxes . No service charge shall be made to any holder of a Warrant for any exercise, exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants, and the Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided , however , that neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of Warrant Shares or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of a Warrant surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company and the Warrant Agent shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant Shares or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company and the Warrant Agent that such tax has been paid. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to deliver such Warrants Shares or the certificates representing such Warrant Shares unless and until the Warrant Agent is reasonably satisfied that all such taxes and charges have been paid.
      SECTION 10 Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates . The Company may issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of the Global Warrant Certificate in lieu of the Global Warrant Certificate, a new warrant certificate of like tenor and amount in the place of any Global Warrant Certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, and the Company and the Warrant Agent may require the owner of the lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company and the Warrant Agent an executed affidavit or indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and the Warrant Agent and a bond sufficient to indemnify them against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such Global Warrant Certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.
      SECTION 11 Reservation of Shares of Common Stock .
          (a) The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, and the Transfer Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized and unissued or treasury shares of Common Stock as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Warrant Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent and with every transfer agent for any securities issuable upon exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to requisition from time to time from the Transfer Agent stock certificates issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants. The Company will supply the Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose and will, when necessary to comply with this Warrant Agreement, upon request, provide or otherwise make available any cash that may be payable as provided in Section 14 . The Company will furnish the Transfer Agent with a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto, transmitted by the Company to the Warrant Agent and each holder. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm the accuracy of the information or the genuineness of the signatures contained in such notices or certificates.
          (b) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of Warrants will be, upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and issuance thereof, duly authorized,

10


 

validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof (other than any liens, charges and security interests created by the Warrant holder or the person to which the shares of Common Stock are to be issued).
      SECTION 12 Adjustments . The number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 12.
          (a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, Recapitalizations and Reclassification .
               (i) If at any time the Company shall: (A) pay a dividend on its Common Stock (or make some other distribution on its Common Stock) consisting of shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock for which a Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted so that the holder of each Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock that such Warrant holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event (or, in the case of a dividend or distribution of Common Stock, immediately prior to the record date therefor). An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12(a ) shall become effective immediately upon and contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such event.
               (ii) Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant is adjusted as herein provided in Section 12(a ) , the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
          (b) Extraordinary Dividends or Distributions . If the Company, at any time after the date of this Warrant Agreement, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in securities or other non-cash assets to the holders of Common Stock (in their capacity as such) or other shares of capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible, other than (i) a dividend or distribution described in Section 12(a ) (i ) (A ), or (ii) distributions made to the holders of Common Stock upon the consummation of a Reorganization Event (any such non-excluded dividends or distributions, an “ Extraordinary Dividend ”), then the Exercise Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, dollar-for-dollar by the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, without regard to any illiquidity or minority discounts) of any securities or other assets paid or distributed on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend.
          (c) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section . The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable and the Exercise Price provided for in this Section 12 :
               (i)  When Adjustments to Be Made . The adjustments required by this Section 12 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. All calculations shall be made to the nearest cent and to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.
               (ii)  Fractional Interests . In computing adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 (but subject to Section 14 ) , fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/1000th of a share.

11


 

               (iii)  Adjustments Not Made as of Settlement Date . If the adjustments required by this Section 12 have not been made by the Settlement Date, and the shares to be received by a Warrant holder on settlement are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because they were not held on a related record date or otherwise), then the Company will adjust the number of shares that the Company will deliver to such Warrant holder in respect of the relevant Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.
               (iv)  When No Adjustment Required . No adjustment need be made under this Section 12 for any issuance of options, equity or equity-based grants or other securities pursuant to the Company’s Management Equity Incentive Program (as defined in the Plan).
          (d) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger or Consolidation of the Company .
               (i) If a Reorganization Event shall occur, as a condition to the consummation of such Reorganization Event, effective provisions shall be made in the certificate of incorporation or articles of incorporation of the continuing or surviving or acquiring or resulting entity, or in any contract or agreement providing for such Reorganization Event, so that so long as any Warrant remains outstanding, each Warrant, upon the exercise thereof at any time after the consummation of such Reorganization Event, shall be exercisable into (at an initial Exercise Price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Reorganization Event), in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, solely the amount of cash, securities or other property ( Substituted Property ”) receivable pursuant to such Reorganization Event by a holder of the number of shares of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such Reorganization Event assuming such holder of Warrant Shares did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of Substituted Property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (provided that, if the kind or amount of Substituted Property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Warrant Shares in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“ nonelecting share ”), then for the purposes of this Section 12(d)(i ) the kind and amount of Substituted Property receivable upon such Reorganization Event for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the electing shares). The provisions set forth herein providing for adjustments and otherwise for the protection of the holders of Warrants shall thereafter continue to be applicable on an as nearly equivalent basis as may be practicable and any such continuing or surviving or acquiring or resulting entity shall expressly assume all of the obligations of the Company set forth herein to the extent applicable.
               (ii) For purposes hereof, a “ Reorganization Event ” shall mean any transaction which the Company enters into constituting (i) a consolidation, merger, share exchange or similar transaction of the Company with or into another person pursuant to which the Common Stock is changed into, converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property (whether of the Company or another person); (ii) a reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification or similar transaction in which the Common Stock is exchanged for securities other than Common Stock (other than in circumstances covered by Section 12(a )); or (iii) a statutory exchange of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for securities of another person (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction).
          (e) Certain Limitations . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock (if any) unless the Company shall take such corporate action in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise Price.
          (f) Notice to Warrant Agent . All adjustments made pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made solely by the Company, and the Company shall promptly provide the Warrant Agent with written notice of any such adjustment. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying on such written notice and

12


 

on any adjustment or statement contained therein. The Warrant Agent has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Section 12 should be made (if at all) or how any such adjustment should be made. The Warrant Agent makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure by the Company to comply with this Section 12. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or liability with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, any adjustment under this Section 12 until it has received written notice thereof from the Company.
      SECTION 13 Priority Adjustments, Further Actions . If any single action would require adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to more than one subsection of Section 12 hereof, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest, relative to the rights and interests of the holders of the Warrants then outstanding, absolute value.
      SECTION 14 Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants if it elects, if otherwise permitted, to make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share upon such exercise (after aggregating all fractional shares of each holder). If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise at the same time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable on exercise of all of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 14, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall notify the Warrant Agent in writing of the amount to be paid in lieu of the fraction of a share of Common Stock and concurrently pay or provide to the Warrant Agent for payment to the Warrant holder an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) such fraction of a share of Common Stock and (ii) the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the Warrant was presented for exercise pursuant to Section 8 hereof. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying on such notice and shall have no duty with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, any payment for Warrant Shares under any Section of this Warrant Agreement relating to the payment of fractional Warrant Shares unless and until the Warrant Agent shall have received such notice and sufficient monies.
      SECTION 15 Warrant Holders not Stockholders . Nothing contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall be construed as conferring upon the holders of any Warrant (solely in its capacity as a holder of a Warrant) (i) the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter for which stockholders are entitled to vote or to attend any such meetings or any other proceedings of the holders of Common Stock; (ii) without limiting the provisions of Section 12 hereof, the right to receive any cash dividends, stock dividends, allotments or rights or other distributions paid, allotted or distributed or distributable to the holders of Common Stock prior to, or for which the relevant record date precedes, the date of the exercise of such Warrant; or (iii) any other rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to monitor or enforce compliance with this provision.
      SECTION 16 No Redemption . The Company shall not have any right to redeem any of the Warrants evidenced hereby.
      SECTION 17 Merger, Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent . Any person into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any person succeeding to all or substantially all of the shareowner services, corporate trust or agency business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. If, at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent by merger or consolidation succeeds to the agency created by this

13


 

Warrant Agreement, any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent; and if, at that time any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Global Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Global Warrant Certificates shall have the full force and effect provided in the Global Warrant Certificates in this Warrant Agreement. If at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent whose name has changed may adopt the countersignature under its prior name; and if at that time any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Global Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Global Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Global Warrant Certificates and in this Warrant Agreement.
      SECTION 18 Warrant Agent . The Warrant Agent undertakes only the duties and obligations expressly imposed by this Warrant Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Warrants, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound:
          (a) The Warrant Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, judgment, instruction, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by or who may be an employee of the Warrant Agent or one of its affiliates), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability and of information therein contained) which is believed by the Warrant Agent, in the absence of bad faith, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons as set forth in Section 18(d) .
          (b) The Warrant Agent shall have no duties, responsibilities or obligations as the Warrant Agent except those which are expressly set forth herein, and in any modification or amendment hereof to which the Warrant Agent has consented in writing, and no duties, responsibilities or obligations shall be implied or inferred. Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall not be subject to, nor be required to comply with, or determine if any Person has complied with, the Warrants or any other agreement between or among the parties hereto, even though reference thereto may be made in this Warrant Agreement, or to comply with any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document other than as expressly set forth in this Warrant Agreement.
          (c) The statements contained herein and in the Global Warrant Certificates shall be deemed to be statements of the Company only. The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or correctness of any of the same and shall not be required to verify the same.

In the event the Warrant Agent reasonably believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Warrant Agent

14


 

hereunder, or is uncertain of any action to take hereunder, the Warrant Agent, may, following prior written notice to the Company, in its discretion, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to the Company or any other person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Warrant Agent receives written instructions signed by the Company which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the reasonable satisfaction of the Warrant Agent.
          (e) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Warrant Agreement (including, without limitation, any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the authorization or reservation of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 11 hereof, and the due execution and delivery by the Company of this Warrant Agreement or any Global Warrant Certificate) or in the Global Warrant Certificates to be complied with by the Company.
          (f) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company or an employee of the Warrant Agent), and the advice and opinion of such counsel will be, when relied upon without bad faith by the Warrant Agent, full and complete authorization to the Warrant Agent as to, and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant in respect of, any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder and in accordance with such opinion or the advice of such counsel and in the absence of bad faith.
          (g) The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant or to any other person for any action taken in reliance on any Global Warrant Certificate, Warrant Statement, certificate representing shares of Common Stock, notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties. The Warrant Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or revision of this Warrant Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing between and signed by, the Company and the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to take instructions or directions except those given in accordance with this Warrant Agreement.
          (h) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys, accountants, agents or other experts, and the Warrant Agent will not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or unintentional misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company or the holders of the Warrants resulting from any such act, default, neglect or unintentional misconduct, absent gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (as each is determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection and continued employment or engagement thereof.
          (i) The Warrant Agent will not be under any duty or responsibility to insure compliance with any applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance, transfer or exchange of Global Warrant Certificates.
          (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Warrant Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing, or a delay in the performance of, any act, duty, obligation or responsibility by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Warrant Agent (including, without limitation, any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God, war, civil or military disobedience or disorder, riot, rebellion, terrorism, insurrection, fire, earthquake, storm, flood, strike, work stoppage, labor dispute or failure of any utilities or means of communication or computer (software or hardware) services).

15


 

disbursements), taxes (including withholding taxes) and charges and other charges of any kind and nature actually incurred by the Warrant Agent in the negotiation, preparation, administration, amendment, execution, delivery and performance of its duties and responsibilities under this Warrant Agreement, in each case in accordance with and subject to that certain schedule of fees, dated August 30, 2010, delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company, and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all losses, liabilities and expenses, including judgments, damages, fines, penalties, claims, demands, costs and counsel fees and expenses, for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Warrant Agent, or any person acting on behalf of the Warrant Agent, arising out of or in connection with this Warrant Agreement except as a result of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction). The costs and expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent in successfully enforcing this right to indemnification shall be paid by the Company except to the extent that it is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Warrant Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
          (l) The Warrant Agent, shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense or liability unless the Company or one or more holders of Global Warrant Certificates shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as it may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of action under this Warrant Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrants or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Warrants, as their respective rights or interests may appear.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability during any term of this Warrant Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Warrant Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under this Warrant Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise (in each case, other than any liability arising from or arising in connection with willful misconduct (as determined by a final, non appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Warrant Agent), is limited to, and shall not exceed, an amount equal to 3x the amounts paid hereunder by the Company to the Warrant Agent as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses.
          (o) The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of any Warrant to make or cause to be made any adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of the shares of

any amendment or supplement which affects the rights or changes or increases the duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent.

      SECTION 25 Governing Law . This Warrant Agreement and each Warrant issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of laws principles.

Each holder, by acceptance of a Warrant, agrees to all of the terms and provisions of this Warrant Agreement applicable thereto.
      SECTION 27 Counterparts . This Warrant Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
      SECTION 28 Further Assurances .

      SECTION 29 Entire Agreement . This Warrant Agreement and the Global Warrant Certificates constitute the entire agreement of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as expressly made herein, the Company makes no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement with respect to the Warrants.
      SECTION 30 Severability .

      SECTION 32 Customer Identification Program .

Accordingly, the Warrant Agent may request information from any such person that will help the Warrant Agent to identify such person, including without limitation, as applicable, such person’s physical address, tax identification number, organizational documents, certificate of good standing or license to do business. Each person that is a party hereto agrees that, to the extent required under the Patriot Act, the Warrant Agent cannot take certain actions under this Warrant Agreement until the Warrant Agent verifies each such person’s identity in accordance with the Customer Identification Program requirements (it being understood that the Warrant Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to complete such verification as promptly as practicable).

FORM OF REVERSE OF GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE
     The Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate is a part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants to purchase up to                    shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the registered holders of the Warrants. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Warrant Agreement.
     Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of the Warrant and surrender of this Global Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent designated for such purpose, a new Global Warrant Certificate or Global Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee in exchange for this Global Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations set forth in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any applicable tax or other charge.
     Subject to Section 14 of the Warrant Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock.
     No Warrants may be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred in violation of the Securities Act state securities laws or other applicable law. The Warrant does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.
     The Company and Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Global Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent) for the purpose of any exercise hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
     This Global Warrant Certificate is held by The Depository Trust Company (the “ Depository ”) or its nominee in custody for the benefit of the beneficial owners hereof, and is not transferable to any Person under any circumstances except that (i) this Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred in whole pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Warrant Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) this Global Warrant Certificate may be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation pursuant to Sections 6(g) and 8(n) of the Warrant Agreement.
     Unless this Global Warrant Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository to the Company or the Warrant Agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co., or such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any payment hereon is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any Person is wrongful because the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
     No registration or transfer of the securities issuable pursuant to the Warrant will be recorded on the books and records of the Company or the Warrant Agent until the provisions set forth in the Warrant Agreement have been complied with.
     In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Global Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreement shall control.

      WHEREAS , the Warrants are being issued pursuant to, and upon the terms and conditions set forth in, the Plan in an offering in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) afforded by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and of any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws;
      WHEREAS , the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance of Warrants and other matters as expressly provided herein; and
      WHEREAS , for purposes of this Warrant Agreement, “person” shall be interpreted broadly to include an individual, firm, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint stock company, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, national banking association, trust, trustee, estate, unincorporated organization, government, governmental unit, agency, or political subdivision thereof, or other entity and shall include any successor (by merger or otherwise) of such person.
      NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
      SECTION 1 Appointment of Warrant Agent . The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as warrant agent for the Company in respect of the Warrants upon the express terms and subject to the express conditions herein set forth (and no implied terms or conditions), and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment, upon the express terms and express conditions hereinafter set forth.
      SECTION 2 Issuance of Warrants . In accordance with Section 5 hereof and the Plan and subject to the next sentence, the Company will cause to be issued to the Depository (as defined below), one or more Global Warrant Certificates (as defined below) evidencing the Warrants. At the election of a holder of Warrants and in lieu of holding Warrants through the Depository, such holder may elect to be issued Warrants by book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent (“ Book-Entry Warrants ”) and such Warrants shall be evidenced by statements issued by the Warrant Agent from time to time to the registered holder of book-entry Warrants reflecting such book-entry position (the “ Warrant Statement ”). Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon proper exercise and payment of the applicable Exercise Price, to receive from the Company, one share of Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 12 hereof). The shares of Common Stock or (as provided pursuant to Section 12 hereof) other

 


 

shares of capital stock deliverable upon proper exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “ Warrant Shares .” The words “ holder ” or “ holders ” as used herein in respect of any Warrants or Warrant Shares, shall mean the registered holder or registered holders thereof.
      SECTION 3 Warrant Certificates . Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Warrants shall be issued (1) via book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent and evidenced by a Warrant Statement, and/or (2) in the form of one or more global certificates (the “ Global Warrant Certificates ”), the forms of election to exercise and of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Warrant Statements and Global Warrant Certificates may bear such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Warrant Agreement, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Depository (as hereinafter defined), any law or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with any rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by (i) in the case of Global Warrant Certificates, the Appropriate Officers (as hereinafter defined) executing such Global Warrant Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Global Warrant Certificates, or (ii) in the case of a Warrant Statement, any Appropriate Officer, and all of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Warrant Agent. The Global Warrant Certificates shall be deposited on or after the date hereof with, or, so long as the Warrant Agent is Mellon Investor Services LLC, with The Bank of New York Mellon as custodian for, The Depository Trust Company (the “ Depository ”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the Depository’s nominee. Each Global Warrant Certificate shall represent such number of the outstanding Warrants as specified therein, and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Agreement.
      SECTION 4 Execution of Warrant Certificates . Global Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, any Vice President, its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary (each, an “ Appropriate Officer ”). Each such signature upon the Global Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a facsimile or other electronically transmitted signature (including, without limitation, electronic transmission in portable document format (.pdf)) of any such Appropriate Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Global Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile or other electronically transmitted signature of any Appropriate Officer who shall have been an Appropriate Officer at the time of entering into this Warrant Agreement. If any Appropriate Officer who shall have signed any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such Appropriate Officer before the Global Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent or delivered by the Company, such Global Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though such Appropriate Officer had not ceased to be such Appropriate Officer of the Company; and any Global Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Global Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper Appropriate Officer of the Company to sign such Global Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such Appropriate Officer.
     Global Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by the Warrant Agent and shall represent one or more whole Warrants.
      SECTION 5 Registration and Countersignature . Upon receipt of a written order of the Company, the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall (i) register in the Warrant Register (as defined below) the Book-Entry Warrants as well as any Global Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Warrant Agreement and (ii) upon receipt of the Global Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign one or more Global Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants and shall deliver such Global Warrant Certificates

2


 

to or upon the written order of the Company. Such written order of the Company shall specifically state the number of Warrants that are to be issued as Book-Entry Warrants and the number of Warrants that are to be issued as one or more Global Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant (including the Book Entry Warrants and each Global Warrant Certificate) shall be, and shall remain, subject to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement until such time as all of the Warrants evidenced thereby shall have been duly exercised or shall have expired or been canceled in accordance with the terms hereof. Each holder of Warrants shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Warrant Agreement (a copy of which is available on request to the Secretary of the Company) as fully and effectively as if such holder had signed the same.
     No Global Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Global Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Global Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that such Global Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.
     The Warrant Agent shall keep, at an office designated for such purpose, books (the “ Warrant Register ”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register the Book-Entry Warrants as well as any Global Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 hereof, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or charge that may be imposed on the holder of a Warrant in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to effect an exchange or register a transfer unless and until any payments required by the immediately preceding sentence have been made.
     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of any Warrant in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent and the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing made in a Global Warrant Certificate by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the holder of the Warrant thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
      SECTION 6 Registration of Transfers and Exchanges .
     (a)  Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or Beneficial Interests Therein . The transfer and exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Warrant Agreement and the procedures of the Depository therefor.
     (b)  Exchange of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for a Book-Entry Warrant .
          (i) Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate may, upon request, exchange such beneficial interest for a Book-Entry Warrant. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent from the Depository or its nominee of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depository on behalf of any person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate to be reduced by the number of Warrants to be represented by the Book-Entry Warrants to be issued in exchange for the beneficial interest of such person in the Global Warrant Certificate and, following such reduction, the Warrant Agent shall register in the name of the holder a Book-Entry Warrant and deliver to said Warrant holder a Warrant Statement.

3


 

          (ii) Book-Entry Warrants issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Section 6(b ) shall be registered in such names as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall deliver such Warrant Statements to the persons in whose names such Warrants are so registered.
     (c)  Transfer and Exchange of Book-Entry Warrants . Book-Entry Warrants surrendered for exchange or for registration of transfer shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Book-Entry Warrants shall then be disposed of by or at the direction of the Company in accordance with applicable law. When Book-Entry Warrants are presented to or deposited with the Warrant Agent with a written request:
          (i) to register the transfer of the Book-Entry Warrants; or
          (ii) to exchange such Book-Entry Warrants for an equal number of Book-Entry Warrants of other authorized denominations,
then in each case the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided , however , that the Warrant Agent has received a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing.
     (d)  Exchange or Transfer of a Book-Entry Warrant for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate . Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of appropriate written instruments of transfer with respect to a Book-Entry Warrant, in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to direct the Depository to make, an endorsement on the Global Warrant Certificate to reflect an increase in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Book-Entry Warrant (such instruments of transfer and instructions to be duly executed by the holder thereof or the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, such signatures to be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution to the extent required by the Warrant Agent or the Depositary), then the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Book-Entry Warrant on the Warrant Register and cause, or direct the Depository to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate to be increased accordingly. If no Global Warrant Certificates are then outstanding, the Company shall issue, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, a new Global Warrant Certificate representing the appropriate number of Warrants.
     (e)  Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates . Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Warrant Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in Section 6(f ) hereof), unless and until it is exchanged in whole for a Book-Entry Warrant, a Global Warrant Certificate may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
     (f)  Book-Entry Warrants . If at any time:
          (i) the Depository for the Global Warrant Certificates notifies the Company that the Depository is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Global Warrant Certificates and a successor Depository for the Global Warrant Certificates is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or
          (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in writing that all Warrants shall be exclusively in the form of Book-Entry Warrants, then the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of written instructions signed by an Appropriate Officer of the Company and all other necessary information, shall

4


 

register Book-Entry Warrants, in an aggregate number equal to the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificates, in exchange for such Global Warrant Certificates, in such names and in such amounts as directed by the Depository or, in the absence of instructions from the Depository, the Company.
     (g)  Cancellation of Global Warrant Certificate . At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Warrant Certificates have either been exchanged for Book-Entry Warrants, redeemed, exercised, repurchased or cancelled, all Global Warrant Certificates shall be returned to, or cancelled and retained pursuant to applicable law by, the Warrant Agent, upon written instructions from the Company reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent.
     (h)  Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants .
          (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign Global Warrant Certificates and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to register Book-Entry Warrants, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 hereof and this Section 6 and for the purpose of any distribution of additional Global Warrant Certificates contemplated by Section 12 hereof.
          (ii) All Book-Entry Warrants and Global Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Book-Entry Warrants or Global Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement as the Book-Entry Warrants or Global Warrant Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
          (iii) So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Warrant Certificate, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the sole owner or holder of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant Certificate for all purposes under this Warrant Agreement. Except as provided in Sections 6(b ) and 6(f ) hereof upon the exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for a Book-Entry Warrant, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Warrant Certificate will not be entitled to have any Warrants registered in their names, and will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Warrants and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Warrants or this Warrant Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, in its capacity as registrar for such Warrants, will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to beneficial interests in a Global Warrant Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair the operation of customary practices of the Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate.
          (iv) Subject to Sections 6(b ), (c) and (d) hereof and this Section 6(h ), the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of all information required to be delivered hereunder, from time to time register the transfer of any Book-Entry Warrants in the Warrant Register and the transfer of any Global Warrant Certificates in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of the Global Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants at the Warrant Agent office designated for such purpose, which shall be located at 480 Washington Boulevard, 29 th Floor, Jersey City, NJ 07310 or such other location in the United States as the Warrant Agent shall determine; provided that the Warrant Agent provides written notice of such determination to the Company and the Warrant holders (the “ Warrant Agent Office ”), duly endorsed, and accompanied by a completed form of assignment (or with respect to a Book-Entry Warrant, only such completed form of assignment), duly signed by the holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution to the extent required by the Warrant Agent or the Depositary.

     (i) Any exercise of a Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a binding agreement between the holder and the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms; provided that a holder may condition its exercise of a Warrant on the consummation of a Reorganization Event (as defined below).
     (j) The Warrant Agent shall:
          (i) Examine all Warrant Exercise Notices and all other documents delivered to it by or on behalf of holders as contemplated hereunder to ascertain whether, on their face, such Warrant Exercise Notices and any such other documents have been executed and completed in accordance with their terms;

     (k) All questions as to the validity, form and sufficiency (including time of receipt) of a Warrant exercise shall be reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, which determination shall be final and binding. The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of and, except to the extent such liability arises from the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a final, non appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company for acting or refraining from acting upon, or as a result of such determination by the Company. The Company reserves the right to reject any and all Warrant Exercise Notices not in proper form. Such determination by the Company shall be final and binding on the holders,

Neither the Company nor, subject to Section 8(j) above, the Warrant Agent shall be under any duty to give notice to the holders of the Warrants of any irregularities in any exercise of Warrants, nor shall it incur any liability for the failure to give such notice.

          (ii) if such holder holds the Warrants being exercised in the form of Book-Entry Warrants, a book-entry interest in the Warrant Shares registered on the books of the transfer agent for the Company’s Common Stock (such agent, in such capacity, as may from time to time be appointed by the Company, the “ Transfer Agent ”) or, at the Company’s option, by delivery to the address designated by such holder in its Warrant Exercise Notice of a physical certificate or certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such holder. Such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date of the delivery thereof.
     Warrants shall be exercisable during the period provided for in Section 8(a ) at the election of the holder thereof, either as an entirety or from time to time for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants.

The Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Warrant Agreement as the Warrant Agent may reasonably request.
      SECTION 9 Payment of Taxes . No service charge shall be made to any holder of a Warrant for any exercise, exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants, and the Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided , however , that neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of Warrant Shares or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of a Warrant surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company and the Warrant Agent shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant Shares or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company and the Warrant Agent that such tax has been paid. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to deliver such Warrants Shares or the certificates representing such Warrant Shares unless and until the Warrant Agent is reasonably satisfied that all such taxes and charges have been paid.
      SECTION 10 Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates . The Company may issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of the Global Warrant Certificate in lieu of the Global Warrant Certificate, a new warrant certificate of like tenor and amount in the place of any Global Warrant Certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, and the Company and the Warrant Agent may require the owner of the lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company and the Warrant Agent an executed affidavit or indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and the Warrant Agent and a bond sufficient to indemnify them against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such Global Warrant Certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.
      SECTION 11 Reservation of Shares of Common Stock .
     (a) The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, and the Transfer Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized and unissued or treasury shares of Common Stock as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Warrant Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent and with every transfer agent for any securities issuable upon exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to requisition from time to time from the Transfer Agent stock certificates issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants. The Company will supply the Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose and will, when necessary to comply with this Warrant Agreement, upon request, provide or otherwise make available any cash that may be payable as provided in Section 14 . The Company will furnish the Transfer Agent with a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto, transmitted by the Company to the Warrant Agent and each holder. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm the accuracy of the information or the genuineness of the signatures contained in such notices or certificates.
     (b) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of Warrants will be, upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and issuance thereof, duly authorized,

10


 

validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof (other than any liens, charges and security interests created by the Warrant holder or the person to which the shares of Common Stock are to be issued).
      SECTION 12 Adjustments . The number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 12.
     (a)  Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, Recapitalizations and Reclassification .
          (i) If at any time the Company shall: (A) pay a dividend on its Common Stock (or make some other distribution on its Common Stock) consisting of shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock for which a Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted so that the holder of each Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock that such Warrant holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event (or, in the case of a dividend or distribution of Common Stock, immediately prior to the record date therefor). An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12(a ) shall become effective immediately upon and contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such event.
          (ii) Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant is adjusted as herein provided in Section 12(a ) , the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
     (b)  Extraordinary Dividends or Distributions . If the Company, at any time after the date of this Warrant Agreement, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in securities or other non-cash assets to the holders of Common Stock (in their capacity as such) or other shares of capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible, other than (i) a dividend or distribution described in Section 12(a ) (i ) (A ), or (ii) distributions made to the holders of Common Stock upon the consummation of a Reorganization Event (any such non-excluded dividends or distributions, an “ Extraordinary Dividend ”), then the Exercise Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, dollar-for-dollar by the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, without regard to any illiquidity or minority discounts) of any securities or other assets paid or distributed on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend.
     (c)  Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section . The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable and the Exercise Price provided for in this Section 12 :
          (i) When Adjustments to Be Made . The adjustments required by this Section 12 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. All calculations shall be made to the nearest cent and to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.
          (ii) Fractional Interests . In computing adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 (but subject to Section 14 ) , fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/1000th of a share.

11


 

          (iii) Adjustments Not Made as of Settlement Date . If the adjustments required by this Section 12 have not been made by the Settlement Date, and the shares to be received by a Warrant holder on settlement are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because they were not held on a related record date or otherwise), then the Company will adjust the number of shares that the Company will deliver to such Warrant holder in respect of the relevant Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.
          (iv) When No Adjustment Required . No adjustment need be made under this Section 12 for any issuance of options, equity or equity-based grants or other securities pursuant to the Company’s Management Equity Incentive Program (as defined in the Plan).
     (d)  Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger or Consolidation of the Company .
          (i) If a Reorganization Event shall occur, as a condition to the consummation of such Reorganization Event, effective provisions shall be made in the certificate of incorporation or articles of incorporation of the continuing or surviving or acquiring or resulting entity, or in any contract or agreement providing for such Reorganization Event, so that so long as any Warrant remains outstanding, each Warrant, upon the exercise thereof at any time after the consummation of such Reorganization Event, shall be exercisable into (at an initial Exercise Price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Reorganization Event), in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, solely the amount of cash, securities or other property ( Substituted Property ”) receivable pursuant to such Reorganization Event by a holder of the number of shares of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such Reorganization Event assuming such holder of Warrant Shares did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of Substituted Property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (provided that, if the kind or amount of Substituted Property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Warrant Shares in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“ nonelecting share ”), then for the purposes of this Section 12(d)(i ) the kind and amount of Substituted Property receivable upon such Reorganization Event for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the electing shares). The provisions set forth herein providing for adjustments and otherwise for the protection of the holders of Warrants shall thereafter continue to be applicable on an as nearly equivalent basis as may be practicable and any such continuing or surviving or acquiring or resulting entity shall expressly assume all of the obligations of the Company set forth herein to the extent applicable.
          (ii) For purposes hereof, a “ Reorganization Event ” shall mean any transaction which the Company enters into constituting (i) a consolidation, merger, share exchange or similar transaction of the Company with or into another person pursuant to which the Common Stock is changed into, converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property (whether of the Company or another person); (ii) a reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification or similar transaction in which the Common Stock is exchanged for securities other than Common Stock (other than in circumstances covered by Section 12(a )); or (iii) a statutory exchange of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for securities of another person (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction).
     (e)  Certain Limitations . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock (if any) unless the Company shall take such corporate action in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise Price.
     (f)  Notice to Warrant Agent . All adjustments made pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made solely by the Company, and the Company shall promptly provide the Warrant Agent with written notice of any such adjustment. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying on such written notice and

12


 

on any adjustment or statement contained therein. The Warrant Agent has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Section 12 should be made (if at all) or how any such adjustment should be made. The Warrant Agent makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure by the Company to comply with this Section 12. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or liability with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, any adjustment under this Section 12 until it has received written notice thereof from the Company.
      SECTION 13 Priority Adjustments, Further Actions . If any single action would require adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to more than one subsection of Section 12 hereof, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest, relative to the rights and interests of the holders of the Warrants then outstanding, absolute value.
      SECTION 14 Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants if it elects, if otherwise permitted, to make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share upon such exercise (after aggregating all fractional shares of each holder). If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise at the same time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable on exercise of all of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 14, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall notify the Warrant Agent in writing of the amount to be paid in lieu of the fraction of a share of Common Stock and concurrently pay or provide to the Warrant Agent for payment to the Warrant holder an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) such fraction of a share of Common Stock and (ii) the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the Warrant was presented for exercise pursuant to Section 8 hereof. The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying on such notice and shall have no duty with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, any payment for Warrant Shares under any Section of this Warrant Agreement relating to the payment of fractional Warrant Shares unless and until the Warrant Agent shall have received such notice and sufficient monies.
      SECTION 15 Warrant Holders not Stockholders . Nothing contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall be construed as conferring upon the holders of any Warrant (solely in its capacity as a holder of a Warrant) (i) the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter for which stockholders are entitled to vote or to attend any such meetings or any other proceedings of the holders of Common Stock; (ii) without limiting the provisions of Section 12 hereof, the right to receive any cash dividends, stock dividends, allotments or rights or other distributions paid, allotted or distributed or distributable to the holders of Common Stock prior to, or for which the relevant record date precedes, the date of the exercise of such Warrant; or (iii) any other rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to monitor or enforce compliance with this provision.
      SECTION 16 No Redemption . The Company shall not have any right to redeem any of the Warrants evidenced hereby.
      SECTION 17 Merger, Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent . Any person into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any person succeeding to all or substantially all of the shareowner services, corporate trust or agency business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. If, at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent by merger or consolidation succeeds to the agency created by this

13


 

Warrant Agreement, any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent; and if, at that time any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Global Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Global Warrant Certificates shall have the full force and effect provided in the Global Warrant Certificates in this Warrant Agreement. If at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent whose name has changed may adopt the countersignature under its prior name; and if at that time any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Global Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Global Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Global Warrant Certificates and in this Warrant Agreement.
      SECTION 18 Warrant Agent . The Warrant Agent undertakes only the duties and obligations expressly imposed by this Warrant Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Warrants, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound:
     (a) The Warrant Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, judgment, instruction, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by or who may be an employee of the Warrant Agent or one of its affiliates), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability and of information therein contained) which is believed by the Warrant Agent, in the absence of bad faith, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons as set forth in Section 18(d) .
     (b) The Warrant Agent shall have no duties, responsibilities or obligations as the Warrant Agent except those which are expressly set forth herein, and in any modification or amendment hereof to which the Warrant Agent has consented in writing, and no duties, responsibilities or obligations shall be implied or inferred. Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall not be subject to, nor be required to comply with, or determine if any Person has complied with, the Warrants or any other agreement between or among the parties hereto, even though reference thereto may be made in this Warrant Agreement, or to comply with any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document other than as expressly set forth in this Warrant Agreement.
     (c) The statements contained herein and in the Global Warrant Certificates shall be deemed to be statements of the Company only. The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or correctness of any of the same and shall not be required to verify the same.
     (d) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agreement the Warrant Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept written instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from an Appropriate Officer and to apply to the Appropriate Officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and such instructions shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent and, absent gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the instructions of any such Appropriate Officer or in reliance upon any statement signed by any one of such Appropriate Officers with respect to any fact or matter which may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by such signed statement. In the event the Warrant Agent reasonably believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Warrant Agent

14


 

hereunder, or is uncertain of any action to take hereunder, the Warrant Agent, may, following prior written notice to the Company, in its discretion, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to the Company or any other person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Warrant Agent receives written instructions signed by the Company which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the reasonable satisfaction of the Warrant Agent.
     (e) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Warrant Agreement (including, without limitation, any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the authorization or reservation of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 11 hereof, and the due execution and delivery by the Company of this Warrant Agreement or any Global Warrant Certificate) or in the Global Warrant Certificates to be complied with by the Company.
     (f) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company or an employee of the Warrant Agent), and the advice and opinion of such counsel will be, when relied upon without bad faith by the Warrant Agent, full and complete authorization to the Warrant Agent as to, and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant in respect of, any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder and in accordance with such opinion or the advice of such counsel and in the absence of bad faith.
     (g) The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant or to any other person for any action taken in reliance on any Global Warrant Certificate, Warrant Statement, certificate representing shares of Common Stock, notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties. The Warrant Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or revision of this Warrant Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing between and signed by, the Company and the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to take instructions or directions except those given in accordance with this Warrant Agreement.
     (h) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys, accountants, agents or other experts, and the Warrant Agent will not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or unintentional misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company or the holders of the Warrants resulting from any such act, default, neglect or unintentional misconduct, absent gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (as each is determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection and continued employment or engagement thereof.
     (i) The Warrant Agent will not be under any duty or responsibility to insure compliance with any applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance, transfer or exchange of Global Warrant Certificates.
     (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Warrant Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing, or a delay in the performance of, any act, duty, obligation or responsibility by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Warrant Agent (including, without limitation, any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God, war, civil or military disobedience or disorder, riot, rebellion, terrorism, insurrection, fire, earthquake, storm, flood, strike, work stoppage, labor dispute or failure of any utilities or means of communication or computer (software or hardware) services).
     (k) The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the negotiation, preparation, delivery, administration, amendment and execution of this Warrant Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and

15


 

disbursements), taxes (including withholding taxes) and charges and other charges of any kind and nature actually incurred by the Warrant Agent in the negotiation, preparation, administration, amendment, execution, delivery and performance of its duties and responsibilities under this Warrant Agreement, in each case in accordance with and subject to that certain schedule of fees, dated August 30, 2010, delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company, and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all losses, liabilities and expenses, including judgments, damages, fines, penalties, claims, demands, costs and counsel fees and expenses, for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Warrant Agent, or any person acting on behalf of the Warrant Agent, arising out of or in connection with this Warrant Agreement except as a result of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction). The costs and expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent in successfully enforcing this right to indemnification shall be paid by the Company except to the extent that it is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Warrant Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
     (l) The Warrant Agent, shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense or liability unless the Company or one or more holders of Global Warrant Certificates shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as it may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of action under this Warrant Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrants or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Warrants, as their respective rights or interests may appear.
     (m) Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, the Warrant Agent, and any member, stockholder, affiliate, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent, may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement, or a member, stockholder, affiliate, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent, as the case may be. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
     (n) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for the Company, and its duties shall be determined solely by the express provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Warrant Agreement, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction); provided that notwithstanding anything in this Warrant Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Warrant Agent be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, lost profits). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability during any term of this Warrant Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Warrant Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under this Warrant Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise (in each case, other than any liability arising from or arising in connection with willful misconduct (as determined by a final, non appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Warrant Agent), is limited to, and shall not exceed, an amount equal to 3x the amounts paid hereunder by the Company to the Warrant Agent as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses.
     (o) The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of any Warrant to make or cause to be made any adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of the shares of

16


 

Common Stock or other securities or property deliverable as provided in this Warrant Agreement, or to determine whether any facts exist which may require any of such adjustments, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustments, when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value or the kind or amount of any shares of Common Stock or of any securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or with respect to whether any such shares of Common Stock or other securities will when issued be validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and makes no representation with respect thereto. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable to confirm or verify the accuracy or necessity of any calculation.
     (p) The Company agrees to perform, execute and acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.
     (q) The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the validity of this Warrant Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except its countersignature hereof) or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make or be liable for any adjustments required under any provision hereof, including but not limited to Section 11 hereof, or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will, when issued, be validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable or as to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of any warrant.
     (r) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall make all determinations with respect to Cashless Exercises, and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether the Company’s determination regarding the number of Shares to be issued in the event of a Cashless Exercise is accurate or correct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Warrant Agent shall also have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether any determination of the Exercise Amount under Section 8 is correct or accurate.
     (s) No provision of this Warrant Agreement shall require the Warrant Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights.
     (t) All rights and obligations contained in this Section 18 and Section 19 hereof shall survive the termination of this Warrant Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Warrant Agent.
      SECTION 19 Expenses . All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Warrant Agreement will be borne by the Company, including, without limitation: (i) all expenses of printing Global Warrant Certificates; (ii) messenger and delivery services and telephone calls; (iii) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; (iv) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants or knowledgeable experts selected by the Company; and (v) the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties).
      SECTION 20 Change of Warrant Agent .
     (a) If the Company terminates the Warrant Agent or the Warrant Agent shall become incapable of acting as Warrant Agent or shall resign as provided below, the Company shall appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days

17


 

after it has terminated the Warrant Agent or it has been notified in writing of a resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent, then any holder of a Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Pending appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be in good standing, incorporated under the laws of any state or of the United States of America. As soon as practicable after appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall cause written notice of the change in the Warrant Agent to be given to each of the holders of the Warrants at such holder’s address appearing on the Warrant Register. After appointment, the successor to the Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed. The former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor to the Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 20, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent.
     (b) The Warrant Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from the obligations hereby created by so notifying the Company in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of the proposed effective date of its resignation. If no successor Warrant Agent accepts the engagement hereunder by such time, the Company shall act as Warrant Agent.
      SECTION 21 Notices to the Company and Warrant Agent . Any notice or demand authorized or permitted by this Warrant Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or by any holder of the Warrants to or on the Company to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile), and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or two (2) business days after being delivered to a recognized courier (whose stated terms of delivery are two (2) business days or less to the destination of such notice), or five (5) days after being deposited in the mail, first class and postage prepaid or, in the case of facsimile notice, when received, addressed as follows (until another address or facsimile number is filed in writing by the Company with the Warrant Agent):

      SECTION 22 Supplements and Amendments . The Company and the Warrant Agent may from time to time supplement or amend this Warrant Agreement (a) without the approval of any holders of Warrants in order to cure any ambiguity, manifest error or other mistake in this Warrant Agreement or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder that the Company may deem necessary or desirable and that shall not adversely affect the rights or interests of the holders of Warrants or (b) with the prior written consent of holders of the Warrants exercisable for a majority of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding; provided, however, that the consent of each holder of a Warrant affected shall be required for any amendment of this Warrant Agreement that would (i) increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, except that such consent shall not be required for any adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable if made pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 hereof, (ii) alter the Company’s obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of the underlying Warrant (other than pursuant to adjustments otherwise provided for in this Warrant Agreement, including the adjustments provided for in Section 12 hereof), (iii) change the Expiration Date of the Warrants to an earlier date, (iv) waive the application of the adjustment provisions contained in Section 12 in connection with any events to which such provisions apply or otherwise modify the adjustment provisions contained in Section 12 in a manner that would have an adverse economic impact on the holders of Warrants, or (v) treat such holder differently in an adverse way from any other holder of Warrants.

any amendment or supplement which affects the rights or changes or increases the duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant Agreement will terminate on such earlier date on which all outstanding Warrants have been exercised. The provisions of Section 18 and Section 19 shall survive such termination and the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent.

      SECTION 25 Governing Law . This Warrant Agreement and each Warrant issued hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of laws principles.

      SECTION 26 Benefits of this Warrant Agreement . This Warrant Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants, and nothing in this Warrant Agreement shall be construed to give to any person other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Warrant Agreement. Each holder, by acceptance of a Warrant, agrees to all of the terms and provisions of this Warrant Agreement applicable thereto.
      SECTION 27 Counterparts . This Warrant Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
      SECTION 28 Further Assurances . From time to time on and after the date hereof, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Warrant Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do and cause to be done such further acts as the Warrant Agent shall reasonably request (it being understood that the Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to make such request) to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Warrant Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected hereunder.
      SECTION 29 Entire Agreement . This Warrant Agreement and the Global Warrant Certificates constitute the entire agreement of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Company, the Warrant Agent and the holders of the Warrants with respect to the subject matter hereof.

20


 

Agent, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to resign immediately upon notification in writing to the Company.

      SECTION 32 Customer Identification Program . Each person that is a party hereto acknowledges that the Warrant Agent is subject to the customer identification program (“Customer Identification Program”) requirements under the USA PATRIOT Act and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “ Patriot Act ”), and that the Warrant Agent must, whenever required under the Patriot Act, obtain, verify and record information that allows the Warrant Agent to identify each such person. Accordingly, the Warrant Agent may request information from any such person that will help the Warrant Agent to identify such person, including without limitation, as applicable, such person’s physical address, tax identification number, organizational documents, certificate of good standing or license to do business. Each person that is a party hereto agrees that, to the extent required under the Patriot Act, the Warrant Agent cannot take certain actions under this Warrant Agreement until the Warrant Agent verifies each such person’s identity in accordance with the Customer Identification Program requirements (it being understood that the Warrant Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to complete such verification as promptly as practicable).

This program may lead to the payment of referral fees and/or bonuses by BNYM or it affiliates to employees of BNYM or its subsidiaries who may have been involved in a referral that resulted in the execution of this Warrant Agreement, obtaining products or services covered by this Warrant Agreement or products or services that may be ancillary or supplemental to such products or services. Any such referral fees or bonuses are funded solely out of fees and commissions paid under this Warrant Agreement or with respect to such ancillary or supplemental products or services. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 33 is solely for disclosure purposes, and nothing contained in this Section 33 shall or shall be deemed to require the payment of any amounts by the Company and neither the Company nor any other person (other than BNYM and its affiliates) shall have any obligations or liabilities under or in connection with this Section 33 or the incentive compensation program described herein.

FORM OF REVERSE OF GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE
     The Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate is a part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants to purchase up to                      shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the registered holders of the Warrants. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Warrant Agreement.
     Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of the Warrant and surrender of this Global Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent designated for such purpose, a new Global Warrant Certificate or Global Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee in exchange for this Global Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations set forth in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any applicable tax or other charge.
     Subject to Section 14 of the Warrant Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock.
     No Warrants may be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred in violation of the Securities Act state securities laws or other applicable law. The Warrant does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.
     The Company and Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Global Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent) for the purpose of any exercise hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
     This Global Warrant Certificate is held by The Depository Trust Company (the “ Depository ”) or its nominee in custody for the benefit of the beneficial owners hereof, and is not transferable to any Person under any circumstances except that (i) this Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred in whole pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Warrant Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) this Global Warrant Certificate may be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation pursuant to Sections 6(g) and 8(n) of the Warrant Agreement.
     Unless this Global Warrant Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository to the Company or the Warrant Agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co., or such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any payment hereon is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any Person is wrongful because the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
     No registration or transfer of the securities issuable pursuant to the Warrant will be recorded on the books and records of the Company or the Warrant Agent until the provisions set forth in the Warrant Agreement have been complied with.
     In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Global Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreement shall control.
