WARRANTS
 
Section 3.1 Issuance of Warrants.  On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, on the Effective Date, Warrants to purchase the Warrant Shares will be issued by the Company to Mr. Allen (or his designees), such Warrants to be classified as CII Settlement Claim Warrants.  On such date, the Company will deliver, or cause to be delivered, at the option of Mr. Allen (or his designees), (i) to the Depositary, one or more Global Warrant Certificates evidencing a portion of the Warrants or (ii) to Mr. Allen (or his designees), one or more Definitive Warrant Certificates evidencing a portion of the Warrants.  Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of a written order of the Company pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, the remainder of the Warrants shall be issued by book-entry registration on the books of the Warrant Agent (“Book-Entry Warrants”) and shall be evidenced by statements issued by the Warrant Agent from time to time to the Registered Holders of Book-Entry Warrants reflecting such book-entry position (the “Warrant Statements”).  The maximum number of shares of New Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Warrants shall be 4,669,384 shares, as such amount may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to this Agreement.  The Company shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent in writing upon the occurrence of the Effective Date and, if such notification is given orally, the Company shall confirm same in writing on or prior to the Business Day next following.  Until such notice is received by the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent may presume conclusively for all purposes that the Effective Date has not occurred.
 
Section 3.2 Form of Warrant.
 
(a) Subject to Section 6.1 of this Agreement, the Warrants shall be issued, at the election of the Holder, either (i) via book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent and evidenced by the Warrant Statements, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto, (ii) in the form of one or more global certificates (the “Global Warrant Certificates”), with the forms of election to exercise and of assignment printed on the reverse thereof, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 attached hereto, or (iii) in the form of one or more definitive warrant certificates (the “Definitive Warrant Certificates”), with the forms of election to exercise and of assignment printed on the reverse thereof, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A-3 attached hereto.  The Warrant Statements, Global Warrant Certificates, and Definitive Warrant Certificates may bear such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, may have such
 

 
letters, numbers or other marks of identification and may have a legend in substantially the following form placed thereon if required to comply with any law or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with any rules of any securities exchange:
 
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND, ACCORDINGLY CANNOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL THEY ARE SO REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS EXEMPTION IS THEN AVAILABLE UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THESE SECURITIES AND THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION MAY BE PLEDGED TO A BANK OR FINANCIAL LENDING INSTITUTION IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE LOAN.
 
(b) The Global Warrant Certificates, if any, shall be deposited on or after the Effective Date with the Warrant Agent and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”).  Each Global Warrant Certificate shall represent such number of the outstanding Warrants as specified therein, and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
Section 3.3 Execution of Global Warrant Certificates and Definitive Warrant Certificates.
 
(a) Every Global Warrant Certificate and Definitive Warrant Certificate shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, any Vice President or its Treasurer (each, an “Appropriate Officer”).  Each such signature upon a Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate may be in the form of a facsimile signature of any such Appropriate Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any Appropriate Officer.
 
(b) If any Appropriate Officer who shall have signed any Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate shall cease to be such Appropriate Officer before the Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent or disposed of by the Company, such Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such Appropriate Officer had not ceased to be such Appropriate Officer of the Company; and any Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant
 

 
Certificate, shall be a proper Appropriate Officer of the Company to sign such Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such Appropriate Officer.
 
Section 3.4 Registration and Countersignature.
 
(a) Upon receipt of a written order of the Company, the Warrant Agent shall (i) register in the Warrant Register the Book-Entry Warrants and deliver Warrant Statements to the Registered Holders of Book-Entry Warrants, (ii) upon receipt of the Global Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature countersign one or more Global Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants and deliver such Global Warrant Certificates to or upon the written order of the Company, and (iii) upon receipt of the Definitive Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature countersign one or more Definitive Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants and deliver such Definitive Warrant Certificates to or upon the written order of the Company.  Such written order of the Company shall specifically state the number of Warrants that are to be issued as Book-Entry Warrants, the number of Warrants that are to be issued as a Global Warrant Certificate, and the number of Warrants that are to be issued as a Definitive Warrant Certificate.  Each Global Warrant Certificate and Definitive Warrant Certificate shall be, and shall remain, subject to the provisions of this Agreement until such time as all of the Warrants evidenced thereby shall have been duly exercised or shall have expired or been canceled in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
(b) No Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate has been either manually or by facsimile signature countersigned by the Warrant Agent.  Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that such Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.
 
(c) The Warrant Agent shall keep, at an office designated for such purpose, books (the “Warrant Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register the Book-Entry Warrants as well as any Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.1 of this Agreement, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent.  No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of the Warrants, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other charge that may be imposed on the Registered Holder in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to take any action whatsoever with respect to an exchange or registration of transfer unless and until it is reasonably satisfied that all such payments required by the immediately preceding sentence have been made.
 
(d) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of any Warrant in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Warrant is registered upon the
 

 
Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder” of such Warrant) as the absolute owner of such Warrant (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on a Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the holder thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
ARTICLE IV
 
TERMS AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
 
Section 4.1 Exercise Price.  On the Effective Date, each Warrant shall entitle (i) in the case of the Book-Entry Warrants and Definitive Warrant Certificates, the Registered Holder thereof and (ii) in the case of Warrants held through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary or by or through Persons that are direct participants in the Depositary, the Beneficial Holder thereof ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Holder”), subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company (and the Company shall issue and sell to each Holder) the number of Warrant Shares, at the price of $19.80 per whole share (as the same may be hereafter adjusted pursuant to Article V, the “Exercise Price”), specified in such Warrant.
 
Section 4.2 Duration of Warrants.  Warrants may be exercised by the Holder thereof, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the Effective Date and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.  Any Warrant, or any portion thereof, not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, shall become permanently and irrevocably null and void at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at such time.
 
Section 4.3 Method of Exercise.
 
(a) Subject to the provisions of the Warrants and this Agreement, the Holder of a Warrant may exercise such Holder’s right to purchase the Warrant Shares, in whole or from time to time in part, by: (x) in the case of Persons who hold Book-Entry Warrants or Definitive Warrant Certificates, providing an exercise form for the election to exercise such Warrant (“Exercise Form”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, properly completed and duly executed by the Registered Holder thereof, and, in the case of an exercise for cash pursuant to Section 4.5(a), providing payment of the Exercise Amount, to the Warrant Agent, and (y) in the case of Warrants held through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary or by or through Persons that are direct participants in the Depositary, providing an Exercise Form (as provided by such Holder’s broker), properly completed and duly executed by the Beneficial Holder thereof, and, in the case of an exercise for cash pursuant to Section 4.5(a), providing payment of the Exercise Amount, to its broker.
 
(b) Any exercise of a Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a binding agreement between the Holder and the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
 

 
(c) The Warrant Agent shall:
 
(i) examine all Exercise Forms and all other documents delivered to it by or on behalf of Holders as contemplated hereunder to ascertain whether or not, on their face, such Exercise Forms and any such other documents have been executed and completed in accordance with their terms and the terms hereof;
 
(ii) where an Exercise Form or other document appears on its face to have been improperly completed or executed or some other irregularity in connection with the exercise of the Warrants exists, endeavor to inform the appropriate parties (including the Person submitting such instrument) of the need for fulfillment of all requirements, specifying those requirements which appear to be unfulfilled;
 
(iii) inform the Company of and cooperate with and assist the Company in resolving any reconciliation problems between Exercise Forms received and the delivery of Warrants to the Warrant Agent’s account;
 
(iv) advise the Company no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of an Exercise Form, of (A) the receipt of such Exercise Form and the number of Warrants exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (B) the instructions with respect to delivery of the Warrant Shares deliverable upon such exercise, subject to timely receipt from the Depositary of the necessary information, and (C) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require;
 
(v) if requested by the Company and provided with the Warrant Shares and all other necessary information, liaise with the Depositary and endeavor to deliver the Warrant Shares to the relevant accounts at the Depositary in accordance with its customary requirements; and
 
(vi) account promptly to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and promptly deposit all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase of Warrant Shares through the exercise of Warrants in the account of the Company maintained with the Warrant Agent for such purpose.
 
(d) The Company reserves the right to reasonably reject any and all Exercise Forms not in proper form.  Such determination by the Company shall be final and binding on the Holders of the Warrants, absent manifest error.  Moreover, the Company reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to the exercise of Warrants or defects in Exercise Forms with regard to any particular exercise of Warrants.  Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be under any duty to give notice to the Holders of the Warrants of any irregularities in any exercise of Warrants, nor shall it incur any liability for the failure to give such notice.
 
Section 4.4 Issuance of Warrant Shares.
 
(a) Upon exercise of any Warrants pursuant to Section 4.3 and, if applicable, clearance of the funds in payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly at its expense, and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, calculate and cause to be
 

 
issued to the Holder of such Warrants the total number of whole Warrant Shares for which such Warrants are being exercised (as the same may be hereafter adjusted pursuant to Article V):
 
(i) in the case of a Beneficial Holder who holds the Warrants being exercised through the Depositary’s book-entry transfer facilities, by same-day or next-day credit to the Depositary for the account of such Beneficial Holder or for the account of a participant in the Depositary the number of Warrant Shares to which such Person is entitled, in each case registered in such name and delivered to such account as directed in the Exercise Form by such Beneficial Holder or by the direct participant in the Depositary through which such Beneficial Holder is acting, or
 
(ii) in the case of a Registered Holder who holds the Warrants being exercised in the form of Book-Entry Warrants or Definitive Warrant Certificates, a book-entry interest in the Warrant Shares registered on the books of the Company’s transfer agent or, at the Registered Holder’s option, by delivery to the address designated by such Registered Holder on its Exercise Form of a physical certificate representing the number of Warrant Shares to which such Registered Holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such Registered Holder.
 
(b) Any exercise of Net Issuance Right pursuant to Section 4.5(b) shall be effective upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of the Exercise Form properly completed and duly executed, or on such later date as is specified therein (the “Net Issuance Exercise Date”).  The Holder of the Warrants shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise as of the time of receipt of the Exercise Form and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is then being exercised, in the case of an exercise for cash pursuant to Section 4.5(a), or as of the Net Issuance Exercise Date, in the case of a net issuance exercise pursuant to Section 4.5(b), except that, if the date of such receipt and payment or the Net Issuance Exercise Date is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.  Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful.
 
(c) If less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement, as applicable, surrendered upon the exercise of Warrants are exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement, as applicable, shall be issued for the remaining number of Warrants evidenced by such Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement, as applicable, so surrendered, and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and deliver the required new Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 and this Section 4.4.
 
Section 4.5 Exercise of Warrant.
 
(a) Right to Exercise for Cash.  Warrants or any portion thereof may be exercised by the Holders thereof at any time or from time to time during the period specified in
 

 
Section 4.2 hereof by delivery of payment to the Warrant Agent, for the account of the Company, by certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company), in lawful money of the United States of America, of the full Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form (which shall be equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which any Warrants are being exercised) and, to the extent required by Section 8.1 hereof, any and all applicable taxes and charges due in connection with the exercise of Warrants and the exchange of Warrants for Warrant Shares (the “Exercise Amount”).
 
(b) Right to Exercise on a Net Issuance Basis.  In lieu of exercising Warrants for cash pursuant to Section 4.5(a), Holders shall have the right to exercise Warrants or any portion thereof (the “Net Issuance Right”) for Warrant Shares as provided in this Section 4.5(b) at any time or from time to time during the period specified in Section 4.2 hereof by the surrender to the Warrant Agent of a duly executed and properly completed Exercise Form marked to reflect net issuance exercise.  Upon exercise of the Net Issuance Right with respect to a particular number of Warrant Shares subject to such Warrants and noted on the Exercise Form (the “Net Issuance Warrant Shares”), the Company shall calculate and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any Exercise Amount or any cash or other consideration) that number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares (subject to the provisions of Section 4.7) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the value of such Warrants (or the specified portion hereof) on the Net Issuance Exercise Date, which value shall be determined by subtracting (A) the aggregate Exercise Amount of the Net Issuance Warrant Shares immediately prior to the exercise of the Net Issuance Right from (B) the aggregate fair market value of the Net Issuance Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants (or the specified portion thereof) on the Net Issuance Exercise Date (as defined above) by (y) the fair market value of one Warrant Share on the Net Issuance Exercise Date.
 
Expressed as a formula, such net issuance exercise shall be computed as follows:
 
X = B - A
                                  Y
 
 
Where:
X  =
the number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Holder thereof
 
 
Y  =
the FMV of one Warrant Share as of the Net Issuance Exercise Date
 
 
A  =
the aggregate Exercise Amount (i.e., Net Issuance Warrant Shares x Exercise Price, plus, to the extent required by Section 8.1 hereof, any and all applicable taxes and charges due in connection with the exercise of the applicable Warrants and the exchange of such Warrants for such Net Issuance Warrant Shares)
 
B  =           the aggregate FMV (i.e., FMV x Net Issuance Warrant Shares)
 
If the foregoing calculation results in a negative number, then no Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Net Issuance Right by the applicable Holder.
 

 
(c) Determination of Fair Market Value.  For purposes of this Section 4.5, “fair market value” or “FMV” of a Warrant Share as of the Net Issuance Exercise Date shall mean:
 
(i) if traded on the NYSE, NASDAQ or another stock exchange, the trailing 20-day volume-weighted average price of the Warrant Shares on the NYSE, NASDAQ or such other exchange for the period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the Net Issuance Exercise Date;
 
(ii) if traded over-the-counter, the trailing 20-day volume-weighted average price of the Warrant Shares for the period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the Net Issuance Exercise Date; and
 
(iii) if there is no public market for the Warrant Shares, a good faith determination of such fair market value by the Board after consultation with an  investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing.
 
(d) Determination of the Number of Warrant Shares to be Issued.  The number of Warrant Shares to be issued on each such exercise will be determined by the Company (with written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent) using the formula set forth in this Section 4.5.  The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether the Company’s determination of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued on such exercise, pursuant to this Section 4.5, is accurate or correct.
 
Section 4.6 Reservation of Shares.  The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of Warrants such number of Warrant Shares as may be from time to time issuable upon exercise in full of the Warrants.  All Warrant Shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all taxes (subject to Section 8.1), liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions of any kind (other than any applicable restrictions under federal and state securities laws) and free and clear of all preemptive rights or similar rights of stockholders, and the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue all Warrant Shares in compliance with this sentence.  If at any time prior to the Expiration Date the number and kind of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s capital stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise in full of the Warrants, the Company will promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.  The Company agrees that its issuance of Warrants shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the issuance of Warrant Shares to issue shares of New Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the stated or par value per share, if any, of the New Common Stock above the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such increase in stated or par value and will from time to time take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that the stated or par value per share, if any, of the New Common Stock is at all times less than the Exercise Price then in effect.
 

 
Section 4.7 Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of its capital stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants.  All shares of capital stock issuable upon conversion of more than one Warrant by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share.  If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, round such fraction of a share to the nearest whole number of shares.  For the avoidance of doubt, 0.5 of a share shall be rounded to one (1) share.
 
Section 4.8 Listing.  Subject to the restrictions on listing of New Common Stock as set forth in the Plan of Reorganization, the Company shall secure the listing of shares of New Common Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants or other Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange or stock market, if any, upon which shares of New Common Stock (or securities of the same class as such other Warrant Shares, if applicable) are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise of Warrants) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of New Common Stock (or, as applicable, other securities) shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of Warrants.
 
Section 4.9 Redemption.  The Warrants shall not be redeemable by the Company or any other Person.
 
ARTICLE V
 
ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES OF NEW COMMON STOCK PURCHASABLE AND OF EXERCISE PRICE
 
The Exercise Price and the number and kind of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as provided in this Article V.
 
Section 5.1 Mechanical Adjustments.
 
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.7, if at any time prior to the exercise in full of the Warrants, the Company shall (i) pay or declare a dividend or make a distribution on the New Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock (whether shares of New Common Stock or of capital stock of any other class), (ii) subdivide, split, reclassify or recapitalize its outstanding New Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine, reclassify or recapitalize its outstanding New Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of its New Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date of such event shall be adjusted (either upward or downward, as the case may be) so that the Holders shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if their Warrants had been exercised in full immediately prior to such event, the Holders would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such event.  Any adjustment required by this Section 5.1(a) shall be made successively immediately after the earlier of the record date or the
 

 
effective date of such event, as applicable, whenever any event in this Section 5.1(a) shall occur, to allow the purchase of such aggregate number and kind of shares.
 
(b) If the Company distributes to holders of its New Common Stock any assets (including but not limited to cash, but excluding any Regular Dividends), securities, or warrants to purchase securities (including but not limited to New Common Stock, but excluding New Rights), other than as described in Section 5.1(a), Section 5.1(c) or Section 5.1(d) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Distribution”), then the Exercise Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the record or other distribution date of such Extraordinary Distribution, by the amount of cash and/or fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board after consultation with an investment banking firm of nationally recognized standing) of any securities or assets paid or distributed on each share of New Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Distribution.  Any adjustment required by this Section 5.1(b) shall be made successively immediately after the earlier of the record date or distribution date whenever any event in this Section 5.1(b) shall occur to allow the purchase of the aggregate number and kind of shares to which Holders may be entitled.
 
(c) If any transaction or event (including, but not limited to, any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, tender or exchange offer, reorganization, reclassification, compulsory share exchange or liquidation) occurs in which all or substantially all of the outstanding New Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for stock, other securities, cash or assets (each, a “Fundamental Change”), the Holder of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Change will have the right upon any subsequent exercise (and payment of the applicable Exercise Price) to receive (but only out of legally available funds, to the extent required by applicable law) the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash and assets that such Holder would have received if such Warrant had been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof immediately prior thereto (assuming such Holder failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such Fundamental Change).  Any adjustment required by this Section 5.1(c) shall be made successively immediately after the earlier of the record date or the effective date, as applicable, whenever any event in this Section 5.1(c) shall occur, to allow the purchase of the aggregate number and kind of shares or other consideration to which Holders may be entitled.  The Company will not effect any capital reorganization or reclassification of its capital stock, or any consolidation or merger, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets (where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the New Common Stock) unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor Person (if other than the Company) shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase.
 

(d) If the Company distributes to holders of its New Common Stock rights (“New Rights”) to purchase securities (including but not limited to New Common Stock), other than as described in Section 5.1(a), Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c), at a price per share that is less than the fair market value thereof (as determined (i) in the case of New Rights to purchase New Common Stock, in accordance with the procedures for determining FMV of a Warrant Share under Section 4.5(c) and (ii) in the case of New Rights to purchase any other securities, as determined in good faith by the Board after consultation with an investment banking firm of
 

 
nationally recognized standing), then the Company shall distribute a number of New Rights (subject to the terms and conditions of the underlying rights offering applicable to all participants in such offering) to each Holder of Warrants hereunder equal to the number of New Rights such Holder would have received if such Warrants had been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof immediately prior to such distribution.
 
(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 4.7, whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of Warrants is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.1(a), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted to a number of Warrant Shares determined by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares initially issuable upon exercise of each Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.
 
(f) If, at any time after the Issue Date, any adjustment is made to the applicable Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 5.1, such adjustment to the Exercise Price will be applicable with respect to all then outstanding Warrants and all Warrants issued in exchange or substitution therefor on or after the date of the event causing such adjustment to the Exercise Price.
 
(g) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five cents ($0.05) in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5.1(g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.  All calculations under this Section 5.1 shall be made to the nearest cent ($0.01) (with $.005 being rounded upward) or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share (with .005 of a share being rounded upward), as the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.1 to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be reduced to less than the then existing par value of the New Common Stock as a result of any adjustment made hereunder.
 
(h) In the event that at any time, as a result of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 5.1(a), Section 5.1(b), Section 5.1(c) or Section 5.1(d), the Holder thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than New Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant 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 New Common Stock contained in this Section 5.1.
 
(i) The Company will not take any action that results in any adjustment hereunder if the total number of shares of New Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise in full of the Warrants, together with all shares of New Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of New Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all options and upon conversion of all convertible securities then outstanding, would exceed the total number of shares of New Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
 
Section 5.2 Notices of Adjustment.  Whenever the number and/or kind of Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall (i) prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, forthwith to the Warrant Agent a certificate signed
 

 
by an Appropriate Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted number and/or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants and the Exercise Price of such shares after such adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which adjustment was made, and (ii) cause the Warrant Agent to give written notice to each Holder in the manner provided in Section 9.2 below, which notice shall state the record date or the effective date of the event in addition to the adjusted number and/or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants and the Exercise Price of such shares after such adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which adjustment was made.  Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.  The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon such a certificate and shall have no duty with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of, any adjustments, unless and until the Warrant Agent shall have received such a certificate.
 
Section 5.3 Form of Warrant After Adjustments.  The form of a Global Warrant Certificate or a Definitive Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of the Warrant Shares, and Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in Warrants, as initially issued.  The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Global Warrant Certificate or the Definitive Warrant Certificate (including the rights, duties, immunities or obligations of the Warrant Agent), as applicable, and any Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form so changed.

(b) Exchange of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for a Book-Entry Warrant or a Definitive Warrant Certificate.
 
(i) Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate may, upon request, exchange such beneficial interest for a Book-Entry Warrant or a Definitive Warrant Certificate.  Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent from the Depositary or its nominee of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate, and all other necessary information the Warrant Agent shall cause, in accordance with the standing
 

 
instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate to be reduced by the number of Warrants to be represented by the Book-Entry Warrants or the Definitive Warrant Certificates, as applicable, to be issued in exchange for the beneficial interest of such Person in the Global Warrant Certificate and, following such reduction, the Warrant Agent shall register in the name of the Holder a Book-Entry Warrant or a Definitive Warrant Certificate, as applicable, and deliver to said Holder a Warrant Statement or a Definitive Warrant Certificate, as applicable.
 
(ii) Book-Entry Warrants and Definitive Warrant Certificates issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) shall be registered in such names as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall deliver such Warrant Statements or Definitive Warrant Certificates, as applicable to the Persons in whose names such Warrants are so registered.
 
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Book-Entry Warrants and Definitive Warrant Certificates.  When Book-Entry Warrants or Definitive Warrant Certificates are presented to or deposited with the Warrant Agent with a written request:
 
(i) to register the transfer of any Book-Entry Warrants or Definitive Warrant Certificates; or
 
(ii) to exchange any Book-Entry Warrants or Definitive Warrant Certificates for an equal number of Book-Entry Warrants or Definitive Warrant Certificates of other authorized denominations, the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its customary requirements for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent has received a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, properly completed and duly executed by the Registered Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing.
 
(d) Restrictions on Exchange or Transfer of a Book-Entry Warrant or a Definitive Warrant Certificate for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate.  Neither a Book-Entry Warrant nor a Definitive Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.  Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of appropriate instruments of transfer with respect to a Book-Entry Warrant or a Definitive Warrant Certificate, in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to direct the Depositary to make, an endorsement on the Global Warrant Certificate to reflect an increase in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Book-Entry Warrant or Definitive Warrant Certificate, as applicable, and all other necessary information, then the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Book-Entry Warrant or Definitive Warrant Certificate on the Warrant Register and cause, or direct the Depositary to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate to be increased accordingly.  If no Global Warrant Certificates are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall either manually or by
 

 
facsimile countersign a new Global Warrant Certificate representing the appropriate number of Warrants.
 
(e) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in Section 6.1(f)), unless and until it is exchanged in whole for a Book-Entry Warrant or a Definitive Warrant Certificate, a Global Warrant Certificate may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
 
(f) Book-Entry Warrants and Definitive Warrant Certificates.  If at any time, (i) the Depositary for the Global Warrant Certificates notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Warrant Certificates and a successor Depositary for the Global Warrant Certificates is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice or (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in writing that it elects to exclusively cause the issuance of Book-Entry Warrants and/or Definitive Warrant Certificates under this Agreement, then the Warrant Agent, upon written instructions signed by an Appropriate Officer of the Company, and all other necessary information, shall register Book-Entry Warrants and/or Definitive Warrant Certificates, as applicable, in an aggregate number equal to the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificates, in exchange for such Global Warrant Certificates in such names and in such amounts as directed by the Depositary or, in the absence of instructions from the Depositary, by the Company.
 
(g) Restrictions on Transfer.  No Warrants or Warrant Shares shall be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred in violation of the Securities Act or state securities laws.
 
(h) Cancellation of Global Warrant Certificate.  At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Warrant Certificates have either been exchanged for Book-Entry Warrants or Definitive Warrant Certificates, repurchased or cancelled, all Global Warrant Certificates shall be returned to, or retained and cancelled by, the Warrant Agent, upon written instructions from the Company satisfactory to the Warrant Agent.
 
Section 6.2 Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants.
 
(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute Global Warrant Certificates and Definitive Warrant Certificates, if applicable, and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 and this Article VI, to countersign such Global Warrant Certificates and Definitive Warrant Certificates, if applicable, or register Book-Entry Warrants, if applicable, as required pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI and for the purpose of any distribution of new Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates contemplated by Section 7.2 or additional Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates contemplated by Article V.
 
(ii) All Book-Entry Warrants, Global Warrant Certificates and Definitive Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Book-
 

 
Entry Warrants, Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Book-Entry Warrants, Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
 
(iii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration, transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other charge that may be imposed on the Holder in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer.
 
(iv) So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Warrant Certificate, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement.  Except as provided in Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.1(f) upon the exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for Book-Entry Warrants or Definitive Warrant Certificates, Beneficial Holders will not be entitled to have any Warrants registered in their names, and will under no circumstances be entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Warrants and will not be considered the Registered Holder thereof under the Warrants or this Agreement.  Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, in its capacity as registrar for such Warrants, will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to beneficial interests in a Global Warrant Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.
 
(v) Subject to Section 6.1(b), Section 6.1(c), Section 6.1(d), and this Section 6.2, the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of all information required to be delivered hereunder, from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrants in the Warrant Register, upon delivery to the Warrant Agent, at its office designated for such purpose, of a properly completed form of assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, duly signed by the Registered Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a participant in the Securities Transfer Agent Medallion Program, the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program or the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program and, in the case of a transfer of a Global Warrant Certificate or a Definitive Warrant Certificate, upon surrender to the Warrant Agent of such Global Warrant Certificate or Definitive Warrant Certificate, duly endorsed.  Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or a Warrant Statement, as the case may be, shall be issued to the transferee.
 
Section 6.3 Fractional Warrants.  The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a Warrant.
 
ARTICLE VII
 
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANTS
 
Section 7.1 No Rights or Liability as Stockholder; Notice to Registered Holders.  Nothing contained in the Warrants shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or his, her or
 

 
its transferees the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company.  No provision thereof and no mere enumeration therein of the rights or privileges of the Holder shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the Exercise Price hereunder or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.  To the extent not covered by any statement delivered pursuant to Section 5.2, the Company shall give notice to Registered Holders by registered mail if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the Warrants:
 
(a) any dividend or distribution (whether payable in cash, securities or other assets) upon the New Common Stock shall be proposed;
 
(b) an offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of New Common Stock of any additional shares of stock of any class or other securities or rights shall be proposed;
 
(c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be proposed;
 
(d) any of the following additional events shall be proposed: a capital reorganization or reclassification of the New Common Stock; any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of New Common Stock outstanding); any sale or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or any other Fundamental Change.
 
Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the Company’s stock transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on any of the events described in clauses (a)-(d) immediately above.  Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the stock transfer books or the date the relevant event shall take place, as the case may be, a reasonably detailed description of such event, and the anticipated timing thereof.  Failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such proposed event.  For the avoidance of doubt, no such notice shall supersede or limit any adjustment called for by Section 5.1 by reason of any event as to which notice is required by this Section 7.1.
 
Section 7.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrants.  If any Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall issue, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement, as applicable, or in lieu of and substitution for such Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement, as applicable, lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement, as applicable, of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence and an affidavit reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft or destruction of such Global Warrant Certificate, Definitive Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement, as applicable, or the posting of
 

 
an indemnity or bond of the Company and Warrant Agent for any losses in connection therewith, if requested by either the Company or the Warrant Agent, also satisfactory to them.  Applicants for such substitute Global Warrant Certificates, Definitive Warrant Certificates or Warrant Statements, as applicable, shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe and as required by Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.
 
Section 7.3 No Restrictive Legends.  No legend shall be stamped or imprinted on any stock certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant and or stock certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer of any such Warrant Shares.
 
Section 7.4 Cancellation of Warrants.  If the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, the Global Warrant Certificates, the Definitive Warrant Certificates and the Book-Entry Warrants representing such Warrants shall thereupon be deposited with or delivered to the Warrant Agent, if applicable, and be cancelled by it and retired.  The Warrant Agent shall cancel all Global Warrant Certificates and Definitive Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange, substitution, transfer or exercise in whole or in part.  Such cancelled Global Warrant Certificates and Definitive Warrant Certificates shall thereafter be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Company provided in writing to the Warrant Agent.
 
Section 7.5 No Less Favorable Treatment
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any warrants issued to the holders of CIH Notes Claims or CCH Notes Claims under the Plan of Reorganization are amended or restated or otherwise modified in any respect at any time after the Effective Date such that any such warrants contain any terms and/or provisions more favorable than the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the Warrants issuable hereunder, (i) the Company shall promptly deliver written notice to each Registered Holder (with a copy delivered to the Warrant Agent) specifying in reasonable detail the terms and provisions of such amendment, restatement or other modification, (ii) each Registered Holder may, at its sole option, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt of such written notice, elect to include such terms and/or provision in the Warrants held by such Registered Holder by delivering written notice to the Company of such election (with a copy delivered to the Warrant Agent) and (iii) in the event of such an election by a Registered Holder, the Company agrees to perform any and all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate the inclusion of such terms and/or provisions in the Warrants held by such Registered Holder, including without limitation, executing any amendment or restatement hereof or thereof.
 
ARTICLE VIII
 
CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT AND OTHER MATTERS
 
Section 8.1 Payment of Taxes.  The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants, but any taxes or charges in connection with the issuance of Warrants or Warrant Shares in any name other than that of the Holder of the Warrants shall be paid by such Holder; and in any such case, the
 

 
Company and the Warrant Agent shall not be required to issue or deliver any Warrants or Warrant Shares until such taxes or charges shall have been paid or it is established to the Company’s and the Warrant Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that no tax or charge is due.
 
Section 8.2 Resignation, Consolidation or Merger of Warrant Agent.
 
(a) Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent.  The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to the Company.  If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) calendar days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the Registered Holder of a Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the Registered Holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New York.  Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of any state or of the United States of America, and shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority.  After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.  For the avoidance of doubt, any predecessor Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to its successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder and execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose.
 
(b) Notice of Successor Warrant Agent.  In the event a successor Warrant Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall (i) give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent and the transfer agent for the New Common Stock not later than the effective date of any such appointment, and (ii) cause written notice thereof to be delivered to each Registered Holder at such holder’s address appearing on the Warrant Register.  Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 8.2(b) or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.
 
(c) Merger, Consolidation or Name Change of Warrant Agent.
 
(i) Any Person or other entity into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party or any Person
 

 
succeeding to the shareholder services business of the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement, without any further act or deed, if such Person would be eligible for appointment as a successor Warrant Agent under the provisions of Section 8.2(a).  If any of the Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent succeeds under this Agreement, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent; and if at that time any of the Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates, as applicable, and in this Agreement.
 
(ii) If at any time the name of the Warrant Agent is changed and at such time any of the Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent whose name has changed may adopt the countersignature under its prior name; and if at that time any of the Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates have not been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Global Warrant Certificates or Definitive Warrant Certificates, as applicable, and in this Agreement.
 
Section 8.3 Fees and Expenses of Warrant Agent.
 
(a) Remuneration.  The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration to be agreed upon between the Warrant Agent and the Company for its services as Warrant Agent hereunder and will reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the preparation, delivery, administration, execution and amendment of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder.
 
(b) Further AssurancesThe Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.
 
Section 8.4 Liability of Warrant Agent.
 
(a) Reliance on Company Statement.  Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such certificate will be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such
 

 
certificate.  The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any one of the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it may rely upon such statement and will not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with any such instructions or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
 
(b) Indemnity.  The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (which gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction).  The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, suit, action, proceeding, judgment, claim, settlement, cost or expense (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent (which gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction), for any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Warrant Agent in connection with the preparation, delivery, acceptance, administration, execution and amendment of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability arising therefrom, directly or indirectly.  The Warrant Agent shall not be obligated to expend or risk its own funds or to take any action which it believes would expose it to expense or liability or to a risk of incurring expense or liability, unless it has been furnished with assurances of repayment or indemnity satisfactory to it.  No provision in this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Warrant Agent from liability for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (which gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 8.9 Certain Transactions.  The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors and employees, may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Warrant, with the same rights that it or they would have were it not the Warrant Agent hereunder, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, it or they may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company and may act on, or as a depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of Warrants, or other securities or obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Warrant Agent from acting as trustee under an indenture.

Section 8.11 No Liability for Invalidity.  The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility with respect to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Warrant Agent) or with respect to the validity or execution of the Warrant Certificates (except its countersignature thereon).
 
Section 8.12 No Responsibilities for Recitals.  The recitals contained herein and in the Warrant Certificates (except as to the Warrant Agent’s countersignature thereon) shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility hereby for the correctness of the same.
 
Section 8.13 No Implied Obligations.  The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties as are explicitly set forth herein and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent.

Section 8.14 Agents.  The Warrant Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and the Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any loss or expense arising out of, or in connection with, the actions or omissions to act of its agents or attorneys-in-fact, so long as the Warrant Agent acts without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (which gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the selection of, and assignment of tasks to, such agents or attorneys-in-fact; provided, that this provision shall not permit the Warrant Agent to assign all or substantially all of its primary record-keeping responsibilities hereunder to any third party provider without the Company’s prior written consent.
 
Section 8.15 Liability.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Warrant Agent be liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Warrant Agent has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of the action.  Any liability of the Warrant Agent under this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of annual fees paid by the Company to the Warrant Agent.
