ACTERNA CORPORATION Common Stock Purchase Warrant Expiring December 31, 2007 New York, N.Y. [DATE] No. W- Acterna Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for value received, hereby certifies that CD&R VI (Barbados), Ltd. (the "Purchaser"), or its permitted assigns, is entitled to purchase from the Company [insert the number of shares of Common Stock (or other property) into which the Purchaser's redeemed or repurchased Notes were convertible immediately prior to early redemption or repurchase] duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") at the purchase price per share determined pursuant to Sections 1.1 and 2 hereof, subject to Section 6.7(b) of the Investment Agreement (as defined below), at any time or from time to time after [insert date of repurchase or redemption prior to stated maturity of applicable Notes] (the "Issuance Date"), but prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on December 31, 2007, all subject to the terms, conditions and adjustments set forth below in this Warrant. This Warrant is the Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant," such term to include all Warrants issued substantially in the form hereof or in substitution therefor), originally issued on the Issuance Date in connection with the redemption or repurchase prior to stated maturity by Acterna LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Acterna LLC") of one or more of its Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2007, Series 2 (the "Notes"), which were originally issued pursuant to the Investment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement"), dated as of August 5, 2002, among the Company, Acterna LLC and CD&R VI (Barbados), Ltd. This Warrant evidences rights to purchase [insert number of shares of Common Stock set forth above] duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (such number of shares of Common Stock referred to herein as the "Initial Exercise Shares"), subject to adjustment as provided herein. Certain capitalized terms used in the Warrant are defined in Section 12. 1. Exercise of Warrant. 1.1. Manner of Exercise (a) Subject to Section 6.7(b) of the Investment Agreement, the Warrant may be exercised by the holder of the Warrant or any portion hereof (the "Holder"), in whole or in part, during normal business hours on any Business Day on or after the Issuance Date by surrender of the Warrant, with the form of subscription at the end hereof (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) (the "Subscription Notice") duly executed by such Holder, to the Company at its principal office (or, if such exercise shall be in connection with an underwritten Public Offering of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) subject to the Warrant, at the location at which the Company shall have agreed to deliver the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) subject to such offering), accompanied by payment, in cash or by wire transfer in same-day funds, in the amount (such amount referred to herein as the "Exercise Price") obtained by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock (without giving effect to any adjustment provided for in Section 2) designated in such Subscription Notice by (ii) [insert dollar amount equal to $1,000 divided by the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of the Notes determined by the Conversion Rate then in effect under the Investment Agreement], and such Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided in Section 2 hereof. (b) In lieu of tendering the Exercise Price to the Company, the holder may elect to perform a "Cashless Exercise" of the Warrant, in whole or in part, by surrendering the Warrant to the Company, with a duly executed Subscription Notice marked "Cashless Exercise" and designating the number of shares of Common Stock desired by the Holder out of the total for which the Warrant is exercisable (without giving effect to any adjustments provided for in Section 2). The Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) having a value (at the Market Price) that is equal to the excess of (i) the then Market Price per share of Common Stock (or Other Securities) multiplied by the number of the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) (determined as of the date immediately preceding the date of any such Subscription Notice) into which the Warrant, or portion thereof designated by the Holder, would have been exercisable pursuant to Section 1.1(a) upon payment of the Exercise Price by the Holder over (ii) the Exercise Price the Holder would have been required to pay under Section 1.1(a) in respect of such an exercise. 2 1.2. When Exercise Deemed Effected. Each exercise of the Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which the Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 1.1, and at such time the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.2 shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record thereof. 1.3. Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. As soon as practicable after the exercise of the Warrant, in whole or in part, and in any event within five Business Days thereafter (unless such exercise shall be in connection with an underwritten Public Offering of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) subject to the Warrant, in which event, concurrently with such exercise), the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any taxes applicable to an issuer upon the issuance of shares, but excluding transfer taxes) shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or, subject to Section 6, as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, (a) a certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share of such Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the Business Day next preceding the date of such exercise, and (b) in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock equal (without giving effect to any adjustment therein) to the number of such shares called for on the face of the Warrant minus the number of such shares designated by the Holder upon such exercise as provided in Section 1.1. 1.4. Company to Reaffirm Obligations. The Company shall, at the time of or at any time after each exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the Holder, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder all rights (including, without limitation, any right of registration of any shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon exercise of the Warrant pursuant to Section 7) to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, provided that if any such Holder shall fail to make any such request, the failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford such rights to such Holder. 3 2. Adjustment of Common Stock Issuable upon Exercise. 2.1. Number of Shares; Warrant Price. The number of shares of Common Stock which the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon each exercise hereof shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock which would otherwise (but for any application of the provisions of this Section 2) be issuable upon such exercise, as designated by the Holder pursuant to Section 1.1, by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is $[insert dollar amount equal to $1,000 divided by the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of the Notes determined by the Conversion Rate then in effect with respect to any particular Note under the Investment Agreement] and (ii) the denominator is the Warrant Price (as defined below) in effect on the date of such exercise. The "Warrant Price," which shall initially be $[insert dollar amount equal to $1,000 divided by the number of shares issuable upon conversion of $1,000 principal amount of the Notes determined by the Conversion Rate then in effect with respect to any particular Note under the Investment Agreement] and shall be adjusted and readjusted from time to time as provided in Section 2 hereof and, as so adjusted or readjusted, shall remain in effect until a further adjustment or readjustment thereof is required by Section 2. 2.2. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Company shall: (i) issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock as a result of the declaration or payment of a dividend of Common Stock payable in, or other distribution to holders of Common Stock of, shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Warrant Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (1) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such event multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the happening of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event. 2.3. Extraordinary Dividends and Distributions. If at any time the Company shall distribute to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock evidences of indebtedness of the Company, cash or assets or securities other than the Common Stock 4 (any such evidences of indebtedness, cash, assets or securities, the "Assets"), then, in each case, the Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the Market Price then in effect less the value of such Assets applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Market Price. Any adjustment required by this Section 2.3 shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. 2.4. Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. (a) If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall (except as hereinafter provided) issue or sell any Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to Section 2.5 or Section 2.6) without consideration or in exchange for consideration in an amount per Additional Share of Common Stock (such consideration for purposes of this Section 2.4, the "New Issue Price") less than the Market Price of such securities, then the Warrant Price then in effect shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would purchase at such Market Price, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. (b) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 2.4 shall not apply to any issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is provided under Section 2.2. 2.5. Issuance of Warrants or Other Rights. If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall take a record of holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Additional Shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities, whether or not such rights thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (such price per share for purposes of this 5 Section 2.5, the "New Issue Price") for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be less than the Market Price, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 2.4 on the basis that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such warrants or other rights or necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding and the Company shall have received all of the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of the actual issuance of such warrants or other rights. No further adjustments of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon exercise of such warrants or other rights or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon such conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. 2.6. Issuance of Convertible Securities. If at any time the Company shall take a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly or by assumption in a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) issue or sell, any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (such price per share for purposes of this Section 2.6, the "New Issue Price") for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be less than the Market Price, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 2.4 on the basis that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued and outstanding and the Company shall have received all of the consideration payable therefor, if any, as of the date of actual issuance of such Convertible Securities. No adjustment of the Warrant Price shall be made under this Section 2.6 upon the issuance of any Convertible Securities which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to Section 2.5. No further adjustments of the Warrant Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and, if any issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any warrant or other right to subscribe for or to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Warrant Price have been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2, no further adjustments of the Warrant Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale. The provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 shall not apply to any issuance of Notes or Warrants, or Common Stock in exchange therefor or upon exercise thereof, pursuant to the Investment Agreement. 2.7. Superseding Adjustment. If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable shall have been 6 made pursuant to Section 2.5 or 2.6 as the result of any issuance of warrants, rights or Convertible Securities, (i) such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Convertible Securities, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such warrants or rights, or the terms of such other Convertible Securities, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event, then such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Thereupon, a recomputation shall be made of the effect of such rights or options or other Convertible Securities effective as of the date of such previous adjustment on the basis of (A) treating the number of shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (B) treating any such warrants or rights or any such other Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such warrants or rights or other Convertible Securities, whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable shall be made effective as of the date of such previous adjustment, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled. Any reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable as a result of this Section 2.7 shall be applied in its entirety to the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable as of the date such new adjustment is made. 7 2.8. Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, Reorganization, etc. (a) In case at any time the Company shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or recapitalization of the Common Stock) in which the previously outstanding Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Company or changed into or exchanged for common stock or other securities of another corporation or interests in a noncorporate entity or other property (including cash) or any combination of any of the foregoing (each such transaction being hereinafter referred to as the "Transaction") then, as a condition to the consummation of the Transaction, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made so that, upon the basis and terms and in the manner provided in this Section 2.8, the Holder, upon the exercise of the Warrant, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the stock and other securities, cash and property to which the Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of the Transaction if the Holder had exercised the Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Section 2. (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company will not effect any Transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each corporation or entity (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any stock, securities, cash or property upon the exercise of the Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to the Holder, (i) the obligations of the Company hereunder (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such Transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company hereunder) and (ii) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the applicable provisions of Section 2) shall be applicable to the stock, securities, cash or property which such corporation or entity may be required to deliver upon any conversion of any Warrants or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto. (c) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Holder shall receive such cash or property (less the Warrant Price) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up had the Warrant been exercised in full and the shares of Common Stock in respect of such exercise issued immediately prior to the occurrence of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. 2.9. Other Dilutive Events. In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Section 2 are not strictly applicable but as to which the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the exercise rights with respect to the Warrant in 8 accordance with the essential intent and principles of such Section, then, in each such case, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be the regular auditors of the Company), which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in Section 2, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the exercise rights represented by the Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder of the Warrant and shall make the adjustments, if any, described therein. 2.10. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms hereof, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holders of this Warrant against dilution in respect of which the Holders are not fully protected by this Section 2 or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company: (a) will not permit the par value $.01 per share, if any, of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of the Warrant to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock on the exercise of the Warrant from time to time outstanding, (c) will not take or permit to be taken any action which results in any adjustment of the Warrant Price if the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable after such action upon the complete exercise of the Warrant would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) then authorized by the Company's articles of incorporation and available for the purpose of issue upon such exercise, and (d) will not (i) issue any equity securities (other than Common Stock or Convertible Securities) that participate with the shares of Common Stock in dividends, distributions and/or other rights ("Other Dilutive Securities"), or (ii) declare or make dividends or distributions (whether of evidences of indebtedness of the Company, cash, assets or securities, including, without limitation, options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock) in respect of any Other Dilutive Securities or Convertible Securities, unless, in each case, this Section 2 is first amended so as to provide the Holders of the Warrant with full protection against dilution caused by or resulting from such issuances, dividends or distributions. 9 2.11. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section 2. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments to the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable provided for in this Section 2: (i) Computation of Consideration. To the extent that any shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities shall be issued for cash consideration, the cash consideration received by the Company therefor shall be the amount of the cash received by the Company therefor, or, if such shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are offered by the Company for subscription, the subscription price, or, if such shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case subtracting any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends and taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Company for and in the underwriting of, or otherwise in connection with, the issuance thereof). To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, then, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the amount of such non-cash consideration shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such issuance as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In case any shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Company issues any securities, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair market value, as determined by an independent investment banking firm retained by the Company, which firm may be an independent investment banking firm regularly retained by the Company, of such portion of the assets and business of the nonsurviving corporation as such firm shall determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, warrants or other rights, as the case may be. The consideration for any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase the same shall be the consideration received by the Company for issuing such warrants or other rights plus the additional consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of such warrants or other rights. The consideration for any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Convertible Securities shall be the consideration, if any, received by the Company for issuing warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Convertible Securities, plus the consideration paid or payable to the Company in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Convertible Securities, plus the additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange in such Convertible Securities. 10 In case of the issuance at any time of any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied. (ii) Computation of Asset Value. To the extent that any Assets shall be distributed to all holders of the Company's outstanding Common Stock in cash, the value of such Assets shall be the amount of cash so distributed, or, if such Assets are securities offered by the Company for subscription, the subscription price, or if such Assets are securities sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering without a subscription offering, the initial public offering price (in any such case adding any accrued interest or dividends but without taking into account any compensation, discounts or expenses paid or incurred by the Company in connection therewith). To the extent that the Company shall so distribute Assets other than cash, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, then the value of such Assets shall be deemed to be fair value of such Assets at the time of such distribution as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. (iii) When Adjustment to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 2 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 2.2) up to but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 2 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. 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. (iv) Fractional Interest; Rounding. In computing adjustments under this Section 2, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/10th of a share, and adjustments in the Warrant Price shall be made to the nearest $.01. 11 (v) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to shareholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to deliver such subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled. (vi) Escrow of Warrant Stock. If the Holder exercises the Warrant after any property becomes distributable by reason of the taking of any record of the holders of Common Stock as described in this Section 2, but prior to the occurrence of the event for which such record is taken, any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by reason of any adjustment required by this Section 2 shall be deemed the last shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercised (notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein). Such shares or other property shall be held in escrow for the Holder by the Company to be issued to the Holder upon and to the extent that the event actually takes place, upon payment of the Exercise Price. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, if the event for which such record was taken fails to occur or is rescinded, then such escrowed shares shall be canceled by the Company and escrowed property returned. (vii) Shareholder Rights Plans. Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock pursuant to a shareholder rights plan (or "poison pill") entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock, which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a "Trigger Event"), (x) are deemed to be transferred with the Common Stock in respect of which they are issued, (y) are not exercisable, and (z) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of Section 2.5 and 2.6 (and no adjustment to the Warrant Price under those Sections shall be required) until first the occurrence of a Trigger Event, unless the Trigger Event is rescinded within 15 days. If upon the occurrence of any event such right or warrant becomes exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitles its holder to purchase a different amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price (an "Other Trigger Event"), then the occurrence of each such Other Trigger Event, unless the Other Trigger Event is rescinded within 15 days, shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and Record Date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof to the extent not actually exercised). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or Other Trigger Event with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment 12 of the Warrant Price under Section 2.5 or 2.6, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by the holders thereof, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted upon such redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution, Trigger Event or Other Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were an extraordinary cash distribution equal to the per-share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights), made to all holders of Common Stock on the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Warrant Price shall be readjusted as if such rights or warrants had never been issued. 2.12. Exercise Rights Subject to Stockholder Vote. If, pursuant to any Requirement of Law or rule or regulation of any securities exchange or national securities quotation service, the stockholders of the Parent are required to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, this Warrant may not be exercised until such issuance upon exercise has been so approved at the next annual meeting of the Parent's stockholders or otherwise. At any time prior to such approval, upon the written request of the Purchaser, the Parent, at its own expense and as soon as practicable following such request, shall seek the written consent or approval of its stockholders to such issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, prepare and file with the SEC an information statement relating to such stockholder approval and take all other actions as are necessary or advisable under any Requirement of Law or otherwise in respect of the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant. 3. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable or the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 2, the Company shall forthwith prepare a certificate to be executed by the chief financial officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the method by which the adjustment was calculated, the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Company shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to the Holder. The Company shall keep at the office of the Company copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection during normal business hours by the Holder. 4. Accountants' Report as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment to the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and cause independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Company (which may be the regular auditors of the Company) to verify such computation and prepare a report setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable 13 detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including without limitation a statement of (a) the consideration received or to be received by the Company for any shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if required by Section 2) on account thereof. The Company shall forthwith mail a copy of each such report to each Holder and shall, upon the written request at any time of any Holder, furnish to such Holder a like report setting forth the Warrant Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated.
