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

 

1.             The Warrantholder shall complete one of the Subscription Forms attached hereto, and deliver it to the Company, at its principal offices located at 330 S. Mannheim Road, Hillside, IL 60162, Attention: Chief Executive Officer (or at such other location as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder), together with the Warrant and

 

5



 

either a certified check, a bank cashier’s check or wire transfer, in an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the then aggregate Warrant Purchase Price of the shares of Common Stock being purchased;  or

 

2.             The Warrantholder may, alternatively at its election, exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, in a “cashless” exercise by delivering to the Company, at its principal offices located at 330 S. Mannheim Road, Hillside, IL 60162, Attention: Chief Executive Officer (or at such other location as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder), (i) one of the Subscription Forms attached hereto, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to such Warrantholder and the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being surrendered in payment of the aggregate Warrant Purchase Price for the Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Warrantholder, and (ii) the Warrant. For purposes of this cashless exercise provision, each Warrant Share as to which the Warrant is surrendered will be attributed the following per share value:  (i) prior to an Initial Public Offering (other than in the context of a Qualified Sale), at the Fair Market Value;  (ii) prior to an Initial Public Offering and in the context of a Qualified Sale, the per share consideration received by the stockholders with respect to their outstanding shares of Common Stock; (iii) concurrently with an Initial Public Offering, a value equal to the Initial Public Offering offer price per share to the public; or (iv) subsequent to an Initial Public Offering, a value per share equal to the average Trading Price of the Company’s Common Stock for the twenty (20) preceding trading days ending on the day prior to the date on which the request for cashless exercise is received by the Company. 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 2.A.2  The Warrantholder may, in good faith, challenge the Fair Market Value calculation and require that the Fair Market Value be determined by the Company’s independent auditors in the manner set forth in the definition section. The result of such Fair Market Value determination shall be binding on the Company and the Warrantholder. 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.

 

Upon receipt thereof by the Company in a form duly completed in compliance with the terms of this Warrant, the Warrantholder shall be deemed to be a holder of record of the shares of Common Stock specified in said Subscription Form, and

 

6



 

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, the securities and other applicable laws of the jurisdiction of residence of the Warrantholder or any transferee and the provisions of Section 4 (a) hereof as to the transfer of Warrant Shares. At no time shall the Company be required to issue any Common Stock pursuant hereto if such issuance would violate any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws. Before being required to issue any Common Stock to the Warrantholder or in the name of any person other than the registered Warrantholder, the Company may require the Warrantholder (i) to execute a subscription agreement in form and substance similar to the subscription agreement executed in connection with the issuance of this Warrant or (ii) only if the Warrantholder is unable to execute such subscription agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to provide, at the Warrantholder’s expense, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that any such issuance is exempt from registration or qualification under the federal and state securities laws and the securities and other applicable laws of the jurisdiction of residence of the Warrantholder or any transferee. If the Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Company shall, at the 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 or its permitted assigns, 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 LegendThe 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.

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.

will or under the laws of descent and distribution (each a “Transfer”), all or any portion of this Warrant to any natural Person who is a Family Member; provided, that no Warrantholder may make a Transfer to any natural Person who is a Family Member unless such Family Member shall comply with and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Warrant, the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

B.            Registration Rights. The Company has agreed to provide certain piggyback registration rights in respect of the Warrant Shares, the terms and conditions of which are set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.  Upon any transfer of any Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement (other than transfers made after an initial public offering), the registration rights pertaining thereto may be transferred, pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 10 of the Registration Rights Agreement, upon giving notice to the Company and by the transferee’s agreement to be bound by the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement.

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.

 

10



 

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 at the last address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Warrantholder may be entitled to receive, and all other liabilities and obligations of the Company hereunder. Upon written request by the Warrantholder such successor corporation will issue a new warrant revised to reflect the modifications in this Warrant effected pursuant to this Section 5.B.

 

C.            Notice of Adjustment.  Whenever the Warrant Purchase Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as herein provided, or the rights of the Warrantholder shall change by reason of other events specified herein, the Company shall compute the adjusted Warrant Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall prepare a certificate signed by its President, Vice President, Treasurer or Secretary setting forth the adjusted Warrant Purchase Price and the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant thereafter or specifying the other shares of stock, securities or assets receivable as a result of such change in rights, and showing in reasonable detail the facts and calculations upon which such adjustments or other changes are based, including a statement of the consideration received or to be received by the Company for, and the amount of, any Common Stock, options and convertible securities issued since the last such adjustment or change (or since the date hereof in the case of the first adjustment or change).
