2.02Automatic Exercise. If at any time during the Exercise Period, the Issuer effects a Disposition Event, then this Warrant shall automatically (without any act on the part of the Holder) be exercised pursuant to this Section 2.02, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Disposition Event on a net issue exercise basis to the extent such net issue exercise would result in the issuance of Warrant Shares; provided, that if such net issue exercise would not result in the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the consummation of such Disposition Event, this Warrant shall thereafter be cancelled and be of no further force and effect; provided, further, that in the case of a Disposition Event structured as a merger or consolidation of the Issuer, the Warrant shall be redeemed or cancelled in exchange for a payment of the applicable cash payable to holders of the number of Shares for which the Warrant could then be exercised minus the aggregate Exercise Price. If this Warrant is automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 2.02, the Issuer shall notify the Holder of the automatic exercise as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Issuer in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.03Certificates. Upon receipt of an Exercise Notice, the Issuer shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a stock certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of Warrant Shares and other securities issuable upon such exercise. The stock certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares or other securities so delivered shall be in such denominations as may be specified in the Exercise Notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to Section 14.03 hereof, such other name or names as shall be designated in such Exercise Notice. Except as prohibited by applicable Law, such stock certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and the Holder or any other Person so designated to

5

be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares, including, to the extent permitted by Law, the right to vote such shares or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder, as of the date on which the Issuer receives the last of the Exercise Notice, payment of the Exercise Price and this Warrant as aforesaid, and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder prior to the issuance of such shares pursuant to Section 9 hereof, if any, have been paid. If this Warrant shall have been exercised only in part, the Issuer shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares and other securities, execute and deliver to the Holder a new warrant certificate evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares provided for in this Warrant, which new warrant certificate shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or, at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder. The Issuer agrees that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for Warrant Shares.

2.04Representations and Warranties. All Warrant Shares shall, upon payment therefor in accordance with Section 2.01, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of any Liens, other than (a) those Liens created by the Holder thereof, (b) restrictions under United States federal and state securities laws, and (c) with respect to a DFR Holder, any restrictions under the Stockholders Agreement.

2.05Fractional Shares. The Issuer shall not be required to issue a fractional Warrant Share upon exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share that a Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Holders shall be entitled to a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of exercise, which cash adjustment may be paid by netting it from the aggregate Exercise Price payable upon such exercise of this Warrant or by payment from the Issuer.

2.06Regulatory Matters. Except in the case of a net issuance pursuant to Section 2.02, exercise of the Warrant is subject to the condition that the Holder (or such other Person or Persons named in the Exercise Notice) is permitted to own the Warrant Shares under applicable Law.

SECTION 3.Transfer, Division and Combination. Subject to Section 14.03 hereof, transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be registered on the books of the Issuer to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the office of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 14.01 hereof, together with a written assignment of this Warrant, substantially in the form of Annex B hereto, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and payment of funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Issuer shall, subject to Section 14.03 hereof and the immediately following sentence, %3) execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, %3) issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned and %3) promptly cancel this Warrant. This Warrant, if properly transferred in compliance with this Section 3 and Section 14.03 hereof, may be exercised by a transferee, if permitted by the terms hereof, for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant or Warrants issued. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Issuer shall not be required to register the transfer of Warrants or Warrant Shares in the name of any Person who acquired this Warrant (or part hereof) or any Warrant Shares otherwise than in compliance with all applicable restrictions in this Warrant. The Issuer shall maintain at its aforesaid office books for the registration and transfer of the Warrants.

SECTION 4.Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares Issuable Upon Warrant Exercise. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof shall be

6

subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, in no event shall the Exercise Price be reduced below the par value of a Warrant Share.

4.01Dividend or Distribution of Common Stock. If the Issuer shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the Common Stock Record Date shall be reduced by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, %3) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Common Stock Record Date and %3) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Common Stock Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.01 is declared but not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

4.02Stock Splits and Reverse Stock Splits. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

4.03Other In-Kind Distributions. If the Issuer shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its shares of Common Stock any class of capital stock of the Issuer (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 4.01 applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash, securities or other assets (excluding any capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 5.01 applies), then, in each such case, the Issuer shall make proper provision so that a Holder who exercises this Warrant (or any portion thereof) after the applicable Common Stock Record Date (including any automatic exercise pursuant to Section 2.02 hereunder) shall be entitled to receive upon such exercise or purchase or automatic exercise, in addition to the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, the amount and kind of such distribution that such Holder would have been entitled to receive if such Holder had, immediately prior to such Common Stock Record Date, exercised this Warrant.

4.04Deferral. In any case in which this Section 4 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Common Stock Record Date for an event, the Issuer may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such Common Stock Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment.

4.05Treasury Shares. For purposes of this Section 4, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Issuer or by any of its Subsidiaries. The Issuer shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Issuer or by any of its Subsidiaries.

4.06Adjustment of Warrant Shares Issuable. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as a result of the operation of this Section 4, this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted

7

Exercise Price, that number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the number of shares covered by this Warrant immediately prior to this adjustment by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Exercise Price.

4.07Redeemable Capital Stock. In the event that a Holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise hereof any Redeemable Capital Stock (as defined below) and the Issuer redeems, exchanges or otherwise acquires all of the outstanding shares or other units of such Redeemable Capital Stock (such event being a “Redemption Event”), then, from and after the effective date of such Redemption Event, the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise, in lieu of shares or units of such Redeemable Capital Stock, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon the Redemption Event by a holder of the number of shares or units of such Redeemable Capital Stock for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to the effective date of such Redemption Event (assuming, to the extent applicable, that such holder failed to exercise any rights of election with respect thereto and received per share or unit of such Redeemable Capital Stock the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property received per share or unit by a plurality of the non-electing shares or units of such Redeemable Capital Stock), and (from and after the effective date of such Redemption Event) the Holder shall have no other purchase rights under this Warrant with respect to such Redeemable Capital Stock. For purposes of this Section 4.07, “Redeemable Capital Stock” means a class or series of capital stock of the Issuer that provides by its terms a right in favor of the Issuer to call, redeem, exchange or otherwise acquire all of the outstanding shares or units of such class or series.

SECTION 5.Consolidation, Merger, Share Exchange, etc.; Reclassification or Recapitalization.

5.01Consolidation, Merger, Share Exchange, etc. In case a consolidation, merger or share exchange of the Issuer shall be effected with another Person on or after the Original Issuance Date, then, as a condition of such consolidation, merger or share exchange, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder(s) shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of each Warrant Share immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant, such shares of stock or other Equity Interests, securities, cash or other property that would have been received upon such consolidation, merger or share exchange by the holder of a share of Common Stock immediately prior to such event. The Issuer shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or share exchange unless, prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Issuer) resulting from such consolidation, merger or share exchange, shall assume, by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to the Holder(s) such shares of stock, securities, cash or other property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder(s) may be entitled to purchase upon the exercise of the Warrant. The above provisions of this Section 5.01 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers or share exchanges.

5.02Reclassification or Recapitalization. If the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes or series of stock of the Issuer or other securities or property of the Issuer, whether by reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of Shares or stock dividend provided for in Section 4 or a consolidation, merger or share exchange provided for in Section 5.01), then from and after each such event, the Holder(s) shall have the right to exercise the Warrant for the amount and kind of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other change by a

8

holder of the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant would have been exercisable immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or change, subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

SECTION 6.Notice to Holder.

6.01Notice of Events Under Sections 4 or 5. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof or the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise changed pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Issuer shall forthwith obtain a certificate signed by an officer or the controller of the Issuer, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment or change and the method by which such adjustment or change was calculated and specifying the adjusted Exercise Price and total number of Warrant Shares (or other securities) issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, as adjusted or changed. Upon request of any Holder, the Issuer shall promptly, and in any case within ten (10) days after the making of such request, cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to such Holder in accordance with Section 14.02 hereof. The Issuer shall keep at its office or agency, maintained for the purposes set forth in Section 14.01 hereof, copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by any Holder or any prospective Permitted Buyer of a Warrant designated by a Holder. Failure to deliver any notice pursuant to this Section shall not affect the legality or validity of any adjustment or change that was to be the subject of such notice.

6.02Notice of Certain Corporate Actions. In case the Issuer shall propose to (a) pay any dividend to the holders of its Shares or to make any other distribution to the holders of its Shares (other than stock dividends of Shares), (b) offer to the holders of its Shares rights to subscribe for or to purchase any Shares or shares of stock of any class or any other securities or options, warrants or other rights to purchase any securities, (c) effect any reclassification of its Shares (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision, or combination, of outstanding Shares), (d) effect any capital reorganization, (e) effect a Liquidation Event (or if the Board approves any Liquidation Event), (f) effect any registration of Shares under the Securities Act (whether for the account of the Issuer or for the account of any of its stockholders), (g) effect any Disposition Event (other than a Liquidation Event), or (h) take any action referred to in Sections 4 or 5, then, in each such case, the Issuer shall give to each Holder, in accordance with Section 14.02 hereof, a notice of such proposed action, to the extent, and at substantially the same time and provide substantially the same information as, provided to the holders of Common Stock in connection therewith.
