A.            General.  The Warrantholder shall be entitled to exercise the Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or before 5:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the Expiration Date; provided, however, that 2,666 shares underlying the Warrant shall be subject to vesting at 12:01 a.m. on September 30, 2000.  The Warrant is not exercisable as to fractions of shares.  Unvested portions of the Warrant shall be forfeited and cancelled if at any time (i) Ronald Jackson’s employment with the Company is terminated as a result of death, disability or retirement, (ii) Ronald Jackson’s employment with the Company is terminated for “Cause” or (iii) Ronald Jackson voluntarily resigns from the Company (unless such resignation is due to a significant diminution of responsibility).  Unvested portions of the Warrant shall be automatically fully vested upon a Qualified Sale or the termination of Ronald Jackson’s employment from the Company without Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the Employment Agreement.

 

B.            Manner of Exercise.  The Warrantholder may exercise the vested portion of the Warrant, in whole or in part, by either of the following methods:

The costs and expenses associated with determination of any of the preceding valuations shall be borne by the Company.  Cashless exercises shall be permitted only to the extent that such exercise is permitted by the terms of the Company’s indebtedness.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on the day after the Initial Public Offering through the twentieth trading day following the Initial Public Offering, the Warrantholder shall not be permitted to make a cashless exercise pursuant to this Section.

 

Upon receipt thereof by the Company, the Warrantholder shall be deemed to be a holder of record of the shares of Common Stock specified in said Subscription Form, and the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, execute and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Warrantholder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock specified in said Subscription Form.  Each stock certificate so delivered shall be registered in the name of the Warrantholder or such other name as shall be designated by the Warrantholder, subject to compliance with federal and state securities laws. Before being required to transfer any Common Stock, the Company may require the Warrantholder at the Warrantholder’s expense to provide an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that any such exercise is exempt from registration or qualification under the federal and state securities laws.  If the Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the

 

6



 

time of delivery of said stock certificate or certificates, deliver to the Warrantholder a like Warrant representing the right to purchase the remaining number of shares purchasable thereunder.  The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of stock certificates pursuant to this Section 2, except that, in case such stock certificates shall be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Warrantholder, funds sufficient to pay all stock transfer taxes which shall be payable upon the execution and delivery of such stock certificate or certificates shall be paid by the Warrantholder to the Company at the time of delivering the Warrant to the Company as mentioned above.

 

C.            Transfer Restriction Legend.  The Warrant and each certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant, unless at the time of exercise or conversion such Warrant Shares are registered under the Securities Act, shall bear the legends described in Section 10(a) of the Stockholders Agreement.

 

D.            Character of Warrant Shares.  All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Ownership and Exchange of the Warrant

 

A.            Registered Holder.  The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name the Warrant is registered as the holder and owner thereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of the Warrant for exchange as provided in this Section 3.

 

B.            Exchange and Replacement.  The Warrant is exchangeable upon the surrender thereof by the Warrantholder to the Company at its principal offices for a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares purchasable hereunder, each new Warrant to represent the right to purchase such number of shares as shall be designated by the Warrantholder at the time of surrender. Subject to compliance with Section 4 hereof, each Warrant and all rights thereunder are transferable in whole or in part upon the books of the Company by the Warrantholder in person or by its duly authorized attorney, and a new Warrant or Warrants shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as

the Warrant but registered in the name of the transferee, upon surrender of the Warrant, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of the Company.  The Company will issue a replacement certificate for the Warrant upon the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation thereof pursuant to Section 10(b)  of the Stockholders Agreement. The Warrant shall be promptly canceled by the Company upon the surrender thereof in connection with any exchange, transfer or replacement. Except as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, the Company shall pay all expenses, taxes (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Warrant pursuant to this Section 3.

8



 

such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately reduced.  Except as provided in this Section 5.A, no adjustment in the Warrant Purchase Price and no change in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable shall be made under this Section 5 as a result of or by reason of any such subdivision or combination.

 

B.            Reorganization and Asset Sales.  Subject to the terms and provisions in the Stockholders Agreement, if any capital reorganisation or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then the following provisions shall apply:

 

1.             As a condition of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale (except as otherwise provided below in this Section 5.B), lawful and adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Warrantholder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Shares immediately theretofore so receivable had such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale not taken place.

 

2.             In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation as a result of which a number of shares of Common Stock of the surviving corporation greater or lesser than the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation are issuable to holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Warrant Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall be adjusted in the same manner as though there were a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

 

3.             The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume, by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the Warrantholder
