Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On August 3, 2006, Under Armour, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Warrant Agreement and a Registration Rights Agreement with NFL Properties LLC (“NFL Properties”) in partial consideration for NFL Properties entering into a Promotional Rights Agreement with the Company, pursuant to which the Company has become an authorized supplier of footwear to the National Football League.

Under the Warrant Agreement, the Company issued to NFL Properties warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 480,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Common Stock”). The Warrants have a term of 12 years and an exercise price of $36.99 per share, which was the closing price on the Nasdaq Global Market of the Common Stock on August 2, 2006. None of the Warrants may be transferred (other than to National Football League member clubs or their controlling owners) or exercised until one year from the issue date, at which time 240,000 Warrants may be exercised, with the remaining 240,000 Warrants becoming transferable and exercisable three years from the issue date. Once the Warrants are exercisable, a holder of the Warrants may exercise the Warrants by paying cash or by electing to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercised, less (y) the number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) at the time of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price. The Warrant Agreement includes other customary terms and conditions, including adjustments to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants and to the exercise price following certain events such as stock splits or combinations, reclassifications, combinations or mergers, dividends and distributions, and issuances of common stock below fair market value.

The issuance of the Warrants was made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that the issuance did not involve a public offering.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, holders of the Warrants are entitled to a maximum of two demand registration rights pursuant to which the Company must comply (subject to certain limited exceptions) with the request of the holders to register for sale on their behalf the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, and piggyback registration rights pursuant to which the holders can request registration of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants when the Company registers other shares of Common Stock for sale. The Company must generally pay all expenses incident to the Company’s performance under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement includes other customary terms and conditions and has a term of up to five years.

Copies of the Warrant Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are included as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K. The descriptions set forth in this report of the terms and conditions of these agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements.

ARTICLE III

EXECUTION AND REGISTRATION OF WARRANTS

3.01 Execution of Warrant Certificates . Certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “ Warrant Certificates ”) evidencing Warrants to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be signed on behalf of Under Armour by its chairman of the board or its president or a vice president and by its secretary or an assistant secretary.

Any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of Under Armour by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of Under Armour to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such officer.

3.02 Registration . Upon issuance of the Warrants, Under Armour shall number and register the Warrant Certificates in a register that shall be maintained by Under Armour. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, Under Armour may deem and treat the registered holder of each Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Warrants shall initially be registered in the name of NFL Properties.

3.03 Registration of Transfers and Exchanges .

(a) General Restrictions on Transfer . The Warrants may not be Disposed of by any holder thereof without the prior written consent of Under Armor for a period, commencing on the Warrant Issue Date, of (i) one year with respect to the Series A Warrants and (ii) three years with respect to the Series B Warrants; provided , however , that NFL Properties or any permitted transferee of NFL Properties may (A) pledge, hypothecate or otherwise similarly transfer the Warrants solely (1) in order to comply with the requirements of any league-level institutional lending facility and (2) following the expiration or termination of the Promotional Rights Agreement or any replacement agreement and any extension thereof, in connection with any bona fide hedging or other similar brokers’ transaction and (B) otherwise transfer the Warrants to any National Football League member club or its respective controlling owner (or any holding companies or other wholly-owned affiliates controlled by or under common control with such persons); and provided further that any such transferees (other than the collateral agent or other pledgee in respect of an institutional lending facility, solely for purposes of the pledge of the Warrants (but not any subsequent foreclosure or other transfer in execution upon such pledge)) shall agree in writing prior to such transfer to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement, including the restrictions on transfers. The restrictions on transfer contemplated in this Section 3.03 shall terminate immediately prior to a Change of Control and shall not be applicable to the Underlying Shares following an exercise of the Warrant by the Warrant holder.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Warrants . When Warrant Certificates are presented to Under Armour with a request to register the transfer of Warrants under circumstances permitted by the terms of this Agreement, Under Armour shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements under this Agreement as set forth in this Section 3.03 for such transactions are met; provided , however , that the Warrant Certificates presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed and shall be accompanied by a duly completed and signed Certificate to be

 

2


Delivered upon Exchange or Registration of Transfer of Warrants in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.

(c) Legends .

(i) Except to the extent permitted by the following paragraph (ii), each Warrant Certificate (and all Warrant Certificates issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear legends substantially to the following effect:

THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY PURSUANT TO THE WARRANT AGREEMENT DATED AS OF AUGUST 3, 2006.

THE SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION 5 OF THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, PLEDGED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

(ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Warrant permitted by Section 3.03(a) and pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, Under Armour shall permit the holder thereof to exchange such Warrant for a warrant in definitive form that does not bear the legend set forth in the second paragraph of Section 3.03(b)(i) above and rescind any related restriction on the transfer of such Warrant.

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

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Under Armour shall execute new Warrant Certificates.

(ii) All Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration, transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be the valid obligations of Under Armour, entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement as the Warrants surrendered upon the registration of transfer or exchange.

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

4.01 Terms of Warrants: Exercise of Warrants . Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Warrant holder shall have the right, which may be exercised commencing (i) with respect to the Series A Warrants, on the first anniversary (the “ Series A Exercise Date ”) of the date of issuance of the Warrants (the “ Warrant Issue Date ”) and (ii) with respect to the Series B Warrants, on the third anniversary (the “ Series B Exercise Date ”) of the Warrant Issue Date, and terminating in the case of each of (i) and (ii) at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date to receive from Under Armour the number of fully paid and nonassessable Underlying Shares that the holder may at the time be

 

3


entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants upon payment of the Exercise Price then in effect for such Underlying Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all of the Warrants shall become exercisable immediately prior to any Change of Control.

A Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to Under Armour at any office or agency maintained for that purpose by Under Armour (each, a “ Warrant Office ”) of the Warrant Certificates to be exercised with the form of election to purchase on the reverse thereof duly completed and signed, which signature, if the holder of such Warrant is not NFL Properties, shall be guaranteed by a bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or a broker or dealer which is a member of a registered securities exchange or the NASD, Inc., and upon payment to Under Armour of the Exercise Price as adjusted as herein provided for each of the Underlying Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in cash by Federal wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by Under Armour or by certified or official bank check, payable to the order of Under Armour; provided , however , that a holder so exercising may, in lieu of payment of the Exercise Price in cash, elect to receive a number of Underlying Shares equal to (A) the number of Underlying Shares for which such holder’s Warrants are exercised minus (B) the number of Underlying Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the aggregate Exercise Price that would otherwise have been paid in respect of the Warrants by the Warrant holder (excluding any brokerage fees or other costs or commissions).

Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02, upon surrender of Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price as provided above by any holder, Under Armour shall issue to such holder as soon as practicable but in no event later than three business days thereafter a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Underlying Shares to which such holder is entitled, registered or otherwise placed in, or payable to the order of, such name or names as may be directed in writing by such holder, and shall deliver such certificate or certificates representing the Underlying Shares and any other securities or property (including any money) to such holder or any other Person or Persons entitled to receive the same, together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 7.02. Any such certificate or certificates representing the Underlying 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 Underlying Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price.

The Warrants shall be exercisable, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the election of the holders thereof, either in full or from time to time in part, and, in the event that a certificate evidencing Warrants is exercised in respect of fewer than all of the Underlying Shares issuable on such exercise at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants (which remaining Warrants will reflect the deduction of any Underlying Shares as a result of the payment of the Exercise Price on a net cashless basis as described in the proviso to the second paragraph of this Section 4.01) will be issued, and the duly executed Warrant Certificates will be delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01.

All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be canceled by Under Armour.

 

4


Under Armour shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices given or received hereunder available for inspection by the holders during normal business hours at any Warrant Office.

4.02 Payment of Taxes . Under Armour will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of Underlying Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that Under Armour shall not be required to pay any Tax or Taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Underlying Shares in a name other than that of the holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and Under Armour shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to Under Armour the amount of such Tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Under Armour that such Tax has been paid.

ARTICLE V

MISSING OR MUTILATED WARRANT CERTIFICATES; RESERVATION AND

LISTING OF WARRANT SHARES

5.01 Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates . In case any of the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, Under Armour shall issue, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Under Armour of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and indemnity, if requested, also reasonably satisfactory to it.

5.02 Reservation of Underlying Shares . Under Armour will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Shares or its authorized and issued Common Shares held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue Underlying Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of Common Shares which may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants.

If there is a transfer agent for the Common Shares (the “ Transfer Agent ”), such Transfer Agent and every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of Under Armour’s capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the rights of purchase aforesaid will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose. Under Armour will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent and with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of Under Armour’ capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of purchase represented by the Warrants. Under Armour will supply such Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 7.02. Under Armour will furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto, transmitted to each holder of the Warrants pursuant to Section 12.05.

Under Armour covenants that all Underlying Shares which may be issued upon exercise of Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the payment of the Exercise Price) will, upon issue, be duly authorized, 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.

ARTICLE VI

ADJUSTMENT OF NUMBER OF UNDERLYING SHARES ISSUABLE

6.01 Adjustment . The number and kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time after the date of issuance of the Warrants as follows:

(a) Stock Splits, Combinations, etc. If Under Armour shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Shares in shares of its capital stock (whether Common Shares or capital stock of any other class), (B) subdivide its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue by reclassification, recapitalization or reorganization of its outstanding Common Shares any shares of its capital stock, the Exercise Price in effect and the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall be entitled to receive the number of Underlying Shares that such holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6.01(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6.01(a), the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of Under Armour, the board of directors of Under Armour shall in good faith determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock.

(b) Reclassification, Combinations, Mergers, etc. In case of any reclassification or change of outstanding Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than as set forth in Section 6.01(a) and other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in case of any consolidation or merger of Under Armour with or into another corporation (other than a merger or acquisition in which Under Armour is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of the then outstanding Common Shares or other capital stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants) or in case of any sale, lease or conveyance to another corporation of the property of Under Armour as an entirety or substantially as an entirety or recapitalization or reorganization, then, as a condition of such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, recapitalization or reorganization, Under Armour shall, or shall cause such a successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, at or prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, recapitalization or reorganization, make lawful and adequate provision whereby the holders of Warrants then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to receive on exercise of such Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, recapitalization or reorganization equivalent in value to the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, recapitalization or reorganization and enter into a supplemental warrant agreement so providing. Such provisions shall include provision for adjustments as nearly

 

6


equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6.01. The above provisions of this Section 6.01(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of Common Shares and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, conveyances, recapitalizations or reorganizations.

(c) Dividends and Distributions . If Under Armour shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, distribute to all the holders of Common Shares any dividend or other distribution of cash, evidences of its indebtedness, other securities or other properties or assets (in each case other than dividends payable in Common Shares, any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of, Common Shares or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (any such rights, warrants or options being herein called “ Exercisable Securities ” and any such convertible or exchangeable stock or securities being herein called “ Convertible Securities ”)) or any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the foregoing, then (A) the Exercise Price shall be decreased to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fair Market Value per share of Common Shares on the record date for such distribution less the sum of (X) the cash portion, if any, of such distribution per share of Common Shares outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) on the record date for such distribution plus (Y) the then current Fair Market Value per share of Common Shares outstanding (exclusive of any treasury shares) on the record date for such distribution of that portion, if any, of such distribution consisting of evidences of indebtedness, other securities, properties, assets, options, warrants or subscription or purchase rights, and the denominator of which shall be such Fair Market Value per Common Share and (B) the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares so issuable immediately prior to the record date for such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment required by clause (A) of this sentence and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. The adjustments required by this Section 6.01(c) shall be made whenever any such distribution occurs retroactive to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 6.01(c) that shall have the effect of decreasing the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or increasing the Exercise Price.

(d) Issuance of Common Stock Below Current Fair Market Value . If Under Armour shall, in a transaction to which Sections 6.01(a) through (c) are inapplicable, issue or sell Common Shares, or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, at a price per Common Share (determined, in the case of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, by dividing (A) the total amount receivable by Under Armour in consideration of the issuance and sale of such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the total consideration, if any, payable to Under Armour upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, by (B) the total number of Common Shares covered by such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities) that is lower than the then current Fair Market Value per Common Share in effect immediately prior to such sale or issuance, then the number of Underlying Shares thereafter issuable upon the exercise of all Warrants then outstanding shall be determined by adding the number of Underlying Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise of all Warrants then outstanding to the product of (x) the Cheap Stock Issued, multiplied by (y) the Ownership Ratio. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such sale or issuance is made.

 

7


For purposes of this Section 6.01(d), (i) the “ Cheap Stock Issued ” shall be the number of additional Common Shares issued or offered by Under Armour for subscription or purchase as described above minus the number of Common Shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so offered would purchase at the then current Fair Market Value per Common Share and (ii) the “ Ownership Ratio ” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Underlying Shares prior to such time issuable upon exercise of all Warrants then outstanding, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares then outstanding (on a fully diluted basis) on the date of issuance or sale of such Common Shares or such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities. For purposes of such adjustments, the Common Shares which the holder of any such rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities shall be entitled to subscribe for or purchase shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding as of the date of the sale and issuance of the rights, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities.

Any adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon exercise of all Warrants then outstanding made pursuant to this Section 6.01(d) shall be allocated among each Warrant then outstanding on a pro rata basis.

(e) Consideration Received . If any Common Shares, Exercisable Securities or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by Under Armour in respect thereof shall be deemed to be the then current Fair Market Value of such consideration. If any options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of Under Armour, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such options by the parties thereto, such options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration; provided, however, that if such options have an exercise price equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares on the date of issuance of such options, then such options shall be deemed to have been issued for consideration equal to such exercise price.

(f) Deferral of Certain Adjustments . No adjustment to the Exercise Price (including the related adjustment to the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant) shall be required hereunder unless such adjustment, together with other adjustments carried forward as provided below, would result in an increase or decrease of at least one percent of the Exercise Price; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.01(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Common Shares. All calculations under this Section 6.01 shall be made to the nearest 1/1,000 of one cent or to the nearest 1/1,000 of a share, as the case may be.

(g) Other Adjustments .

(i) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6.01, the holders of Warrants shall become entitled to receive any securities of Under Armour other than Common Shares, thereafter the number of such other securities so receivable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price applicable to such exercise shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in this Section 6.01, mutatis mutandis .

ARTICLE VII

STATEMENTS ON WARRANTS

7.01 Statement on Warrants . Irrespective of any adjustment in the number or kind of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

7.02 Fractional Interest . Under Armour shall not be required to issue fractional Common Shares on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same holder, the number of full Common Shares which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Common Shares acquirable on exercise of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 7.02, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), Under Armour shall pay, or direct the Transfer Agent, if any, to pay, an amount in cash determined by it to equal the Fair Market Value per Common Share multiplied by such fraction computed to the nearest whole cent. The holders, by their acceptance of the Warrant Certificates, expressly waive any and all rights to receive any fraction of a share of Common Shares or a stock certificate representing a fraction of a share of Common Shares.

7.03 Notices to Warrant Holders .

In the event that Under Armour:

(i) authorizes the issuance to all holders of Common Shares of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or of any other subscription rights or warrants;

(ii) authorizes the distribution to all holders of Common Shares of evidence of its indebtedness or assets;

(iii) proposes to become a party to any consolidation or merger for which approval of any shareholders of Under Armour is required, or of the conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of Under Armour substantially as an entirety, or of any reclassification or change of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Shares; or

(iv) commences a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up,

then Under Armour shall cause to be given to each of the registered holders of the Warrants at such holder’s address appearing on the Warrant register, at least 10 days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, or promptly in the case of events for which there

 

10


is no record date, by first class mail, postage prepaid, a written notice stating (i) the date as of which the holders of record of Common Shares to be entitled to receive any such rights, options, warrants or distribution are to be determined, (ii) the initial expiration date set forth in any tender offer or exchange offer for Common Shares or (iii) the date on which any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or consummated, and, if applicable, the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common Shares shall be entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 7.03 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, option, warrant, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, or the vote upon any action. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Warrant Certificates shall be construed as conferring upon the holders thereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of directors of Under Armour or any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of Under Armour.

This certificate (the “ Warrant Certificate ”) is issued pursuant to a warrant agreement, dated August 3, 2006, between Under Armour, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and NFL Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as amended from time to time (the “ Warrant Agreement ”). This Warrant Certificate certifies that                          , or its registered assigns, is the registered holder of an aggregate of                      Series [A][B] warrants (the “ Warrants ”) to purchase shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0003  1 / 3  per share (the “ Common Shares ”), of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company, commencing [ for Series A Warrants, include : on the first anniversary of the date of issuance of the Warrants][ for Series B Warrants, include : on the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Warrants], and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, 1.00 Common Shares (such number of Common Shares subject to adjustment as described below) at an exercise price per Warrant of $36.99 (the “ Exercise Price ”), upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price at any office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Company (each, a “ Warrant Office ”), subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement. No Warrant may be exercised after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, and to the extent not exercised by such time such Warrants shall become void.

The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants and are issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, duly executed and delivered by the Company for the benefit of the holders (the words “ holders ” or “ holder ” meaning the registered holders or registered holder), from time to time, of the Warrants, which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company and the holders of the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Warrant Agreement.

 

Exhibit A-1


The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise them by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to purchase set forth hereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States of America at any Warrant Office or on a net settlement basis. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised. No adjustment shall be made for any dividends on any Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. No fractions of a Common Share will be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, but the Company will pay in cash the Fair Market Value of any fraction of a Common Share that would otherwise be issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant.

Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at any Warrant Office by the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged for a new Warrant Certificate or new Warrant Certificates evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any Tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at any Warrant Office, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee in exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any Tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

The Company may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone) for the purpose of any exercise hereof and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall constitute Registrable Securities (as such term is defined in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between the Company and NFL Properties (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”)). Each Holder (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall be entitled to all of the benefits afforded to a holder of any such Registrable Securities under the Registration Rights Agreement and each such Warrant holder, by its acceptance of the Warrant, agrees to be bound by and to comply with the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such Warrant holder as a holder of such Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, when issued, to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation system on which securities of the same class are listed or traded.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE AND, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS WARRANT CERTIFICATE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

7. Indemnification .

(a) Indemnification by the Company . The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Holder selling Registrable Securities and its respective officers, directors and employees and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act) such selling Holder (each, a “ Participant ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) caused by (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary prospectus contained therein relating to the Registrable Securities or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (each, a “ Loss ” and collectively “ Losses ”); provided , however , that the Company shall not be liable to any Participant in any such case to the extent that any such Loss is caused by written information furnished to the Company by such Holder for use in the preparation thereof and stated to be specifically for use therein, or if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to such prospectus which has been

 

12


made available to the Holders and the relevant Holder fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, if such delivery is required under applicable law or the applicable rules of any securities exchange, prior to or concurrently with the sales of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such Loss. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification by the Holders . Each selling Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers and employees and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act) from and against any Loss to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Loss is caused by any information furnished in writing by such selling Holder to the Company for inclusion in such registration statement and was not corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such Loss. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability such Holder may otherwise have.

(c) Indemnification Proceedings . Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”) shall (i) give prompt written notice to the Person from whom such indemnification may be sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification, provided , however , that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it of any obligation or liability which it may have hereunder or otherwise except to the extent it is materially prejudiced by such failure, and (ii) permit such Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided , however , that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (A) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after having received notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (C) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims or the Indemnified Party has material defenses separate and apart from the defenses of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that the Indemnified Party elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party). If such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party (or if the Indemnifying Party’s failure to assume such defense is due to the Indemnified Party’s invocation of subsection (C) of the immediately preceding sentence), the Indemnifying Party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided , that an Indemnifying Party shall not be required to consent to any settlement involving the imposition of equitable remedies or involving the imposition of any material obligations on such Indemnifying Party other than financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle such action without the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided , that the Indemnifying Party shall be required to obtain such consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if the settlement includes any

 

13


admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party or any equitable remedies or restriction on the Indemnified Party or its officers, directors or employees. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party (or, as the case may be, Indemnifying Parties) shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time from all Indemnified Parties collectively unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties) or (y) a conflict exists or may exist (based on advice of counsel to an Indemnified Party) between such Indemnified Party and other Indemnified Parties, in each of which cases the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties) shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. (d)  Contribution . If for any reason the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 7, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. If indemnification is available under this Section 7, the Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify each Indemnified Party to the full extent provided in Sections 7(a) and 7(b) hereof without regard to the relative fault of said Indemnifying Parties or Indemnified Party.

(e) Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Securities . The liability of any Holder in respect of any indemnification or contribution obligation arising under this Section 7 shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the total proceeds (net of any exercise price of the Series A Warrants or the Series B Warrants and after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions and all other expenses paid by such Holder in connection with the registration in question) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by the Holder pursuant to such registration.

8. Compliance with Rule 144 .

(a) The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act so long as the Company is obligated to file such reports, and it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the written request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

(b) The Company covenants and agrees to promptly remove (or cause to be removed) any legends on any certificates evidencing Registrable Securities and any stop transfer instructions relating thereto in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities (i) in a public offering effected pursuant to a registration contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to any Holder, such Holder is entitled to transfer the Registrable Securities without registration.

9. Underwriting Agreements . The Holders holding any Registrable Securities to be included in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 3 shall enter into such an underwriting agreement at the request of the Company. No Holder shall be required in any such underwriting agreement to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder’s Registrable Securities, such Holder’s intended method of distribution and any other representations required by law.

10. Term . This Agreement, and all registration rights pursuant thereto, shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) five years from the date hereof or (ii) the first time at which there are no Registrable Securities outstanding.

12. Successors, Assigns and Transferees .

(a) The registration rights of any Holder under this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Securities may be transferred and assigned, provided that such rights may only be transferred or assigned to another Holder or to any permitted transferee under the terms of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants, and, provided further , that no such transfer or assignment shall be binding upon or obligate the Company to any such transferee or assignee unless and until the Company shall have received notice of such transfer or assignment as herein provided and a written agreement of the transferee or assignee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a “Holder”. Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in the first sentence of this Section 12 shall be null and void.

14. Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
