B.   Classification of Claims and Interests
     The Plan constitutes a separate plan of reorganization for each Debtor. Except for the Claims addressed in ARTICLE II, all Claims and Interests are classified in the Classes set forth below pursuant to section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code. Classes of Claims and Interests shall be the same under each of the Rights Offering Sub Plan and the Claims Conversion Sub Plan, provided, certain Classes of Claims shall receive different treatment under the Rights Offering Sub Plan than under the Claims Conversion Sub Plan, as specified below.

A Claim or Interest is also classified in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest is an Allowed Claim or Interest in that Class and has not been paid, released, or otherwise satisfied prior to the Effective Date.

All Proofs of Claim filed on account of Claims in connection with the termination of the Pension Plans shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further action of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors and without any further action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ARTICLE IV.P of the Plan, no provision in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, or proceeding within the Chapter 11 Cases, shall in any way be construed as discharging, releasing, or relieving the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any other party in any capacity, from any liability with respect to the Pension Plans under any law, governmental policy, or regulatory provision, including for breach of fiduciary duty.

The Reorganized Debtors may pursue such Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.

33


 

     The Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain the foregoing Causes of Action notwithstanding the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors. The applicable Reorganized Debtor, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

ARTICLE V.
RIGHTS OFFERING
A.   Election Form
     In accordance with the terms of the Rights Offering Procedures, the Debtors will deliver an Election Form to each holder of an Allowed Senior Notes Claim to determine which holders will be considered Eligible Holders and which holders will be considered Non-Eligible Holders. To determine that a holder is an Eligible Holder, such holder must, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Election Form, validly complete and return an Election Form by the Election Form Deadline certifying that such holder is an Accredited Investor. To determine that a holder is a Non-Eligible Holder, such holder must, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Election Form, validly complete and return an Election Form by the Election Form Deadline certifying that such holder is not an Accredited Investor. Only Eligible Holders shall be permitted to participate in the Rights Offering. Only Non-Eligible Holders shall be permitted to receive the Cash Amount.
B.   Issuance of Subscription Rights
     Each Eligible Holder shall receive Subscription Rights entitling such holder to purchase up to its Pro Rata Allocation of the Rights Offering Shares. Each Eligible Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the Rights Offering as set forth herein and in the Rights Offering Procedures.

35


 

C.   Oversubscription Rights
     Each Eligible Holder that validly exercises in full its Subscription Rights shall be entitled to elect on the Subscription Form to purchase Rights Offering Shares not otherwise subscribed for pursuant to validly exercised Subscription Rights by indicating the number of such unsubscribed shares such Eligible Holder desires to purchase, as set forth herein and in the Rights Offering Procedures, and subject to the terms of the Equity Commitment Agreement.
D.   Transfer Restriction
     The Subscription Rights and the Oversubscription Rights are not transferable. Any attempted transfer is null and void and the Debtors will not treat any purported transferee as the holder of any Subscription Right or, if applicable, Oversubscription Right. The Subscription Rights and the Oversubscription Rights shall not be listed or quoted on any public or over-the-counter securities exchange or quotation system.
E.   Subscription Period and Mailing
     The Rights Offering shall commence for each Eligible Holder upon its receipt of the Subscription Form and shall end on the Subscription Expiration Date, unless extended by Visteon Corporation with the reasonable consent of the Requisite Investors.

     Except as provided for in the Equity Commitment Agreement, each Eligible Holder may exercise all or any portion of such holder’s Subscription Rights and, if applicable, Oversubscription Rights, pursuant to the Subscription Form.

     If the Rights Offering Agent for any reason does not receive on or prior to the Subscription Expiration Date both a validly completed Subscription Form and immediately available funds as set forth in this ARTICLE V.F from an Eligible Holder, such Eligible Holder shall be deemed to have relinquished and waived its right to participate in the Rights Offering. The Debtors shall not be obligated to honor any purported exercise of Subscription Rights or Oversubscription Rights received by the Rights Offering Agent after the Subscription Expiration Date, regardless of when the documents relating to such exercise were sent. Once the Eligible Holder has validly exercised its Subscription Rights and, if applicable, Oversubscription Rights, such exercise will not be permitted to be revoked, rescinded, or modified.

36


 

     The payments made in accordance with the Rights Offering shall be deposited and held by the Rights Offering Agent in an escrow account. The Rights Offering Agent will maintain such account for the purpose of holding the money for administration of the Rights Offering until the Effective Date or such other later date at the option of the Reorganized Debtors. The Rights Offering Agent shall not use such funds for any other purpose and shall not encumber or permit such funds to be encumbered with any Lien or similar encumbrance. Such funds shall be held in such escrow account and disbursed only in accordance with the procedures described in this ARTICLE V, the Rights Offering Procedures, and the Equity Commitment Agreement.

     Under the Rights Offering Sub Plan, Rights Offering Shares purchased by Eligible Holders shall be issued on the Effective Date and distributed on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter.
     If the number of Rights Offering Shares elected for purchase pursuant to Oversubscription Rights exceeds the number of unsubscribed Rights Offering Shares, then such unsubscribed Rights Offering Shares shall be apportioned to Eligible Holders that exercised such Oversubscription Rights (1) first, to the Lead Investors and their Related Purchasers and their respective affiliates, (2) second, to the Co-Investors and their Related Purchasers and their

37


 

respective affiliates, and (3) last, if any unsubscribed Rights Offering Shares remain unallocated, to the other Eligible Holders exercising their Oversubscription Rights, in each case pro rata relative to the number of such shares each such Eligible Holder elected to purchase pursuant to its Oversubscription Rights and in accordance with section 2.2(e) of the Equity Commitment Agreement.
     Any payment made by an Eligible Holder shall be refunded as soon as practicable (1) upon termination of the Equity Commitment Agreement, (2) if such Eligible Holder has made an overpayment, in an amount equal to such overpayment, or (3) under the Claims Conversion Sub Plan.

A.   Entitlement to Cash Amount Recoveries
     Under the Rights Offering Sub Plan, a Non-Eligible Holder shall be entitled to receive the Cash Amount only if such Non-Eligible Holder validly completes and returns an Election Form certifying that it is a Non-Eligible Holder in accordance with the terms set forth in the Election Form. If a Non-Eligible Holder does not duly satisfy such requirements, such holder shall be deemed to have relinquished and waived its right to receive the Cash Amount.

     Each Cash Recovery Backstop Investor shall deliver to Visteon Corporation on the later of the date that is (1) ten Business Days prior to the date scheduled for the Confirmation Hearing and (2) five Business Days after delivery of the Purchase Notice a funding approval certificate from an officer or a duly authorized agent of such Cash Recovery Backstop Investor certifying that such Cash Recovery Backstop Investor’s credit committee (or such similar governing entity that is responsible for approving such matters in accordance with such Cash Recovery Backstop Investor’s normal operations) has approved, subject only to the terms and conditions of the Rights Offering Sub Plan in accordance with the Plan, the funding by such Cash Recovery Backstop Investor of its Distributable Commitment Percentage of (1) the aggregate Cash Amount, and (2) the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of shares of New Visteon Common Stock constituting the Cash Recovery Subscription Equity.

ARTICLE VII.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A.   Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
     Except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed automatically rejected pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date, unless any such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease: (1) is listed on the schedule of “Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases” in the Plan Supplement; (2) has been previously assumed by the Debtors by Final Order or has been assumed by the Debtors by order of the Bankruptcy Court as of the Effective Date, which order becomes a Final Order after the Effective Date; (3) is the subject of a motion to assume or reject pending as of the Effective Date; (4) is an Intercompany Contract, unless such Intercompany Contract previously was rejected by the Debtors pursuant to a Final Order, is the subject of a motion to reject pending on the Effective Date, or is listed on the schedule of “Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases” in the Plan Supplement; or (5) is otherwise assumed pursuant to the terms herein.
     The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such rejections pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. Counterparties to Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that are deemed rejected as of the Effective Date shall have the right to assert any Claim on account of the rejection of such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, including under section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to compliance with the requirements herein.
     Further, the Plan Supplement will contain a schedule of “Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases;” provided, however, that any Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease not previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected by an order of the Bankruptcy Court, and not listed in the schedule of “Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases” will be rejected on the Effective Date, notwithstanding its exclusion from such schedule.
B.   Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
     On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall assume all of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases listed on the schedule of “Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired leases” in the Plan Supplement and otherwise identified for assumption pursuant to ARTICLE VII.A above. With respect to each such Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease listed on the schedule of “Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases” in the Plan Supplement, the Debtors shall have designated a proposed Cure, and the assumption of such

39


 

Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases may be conditioned upon the disposition of all issues with respect to such Cure. The Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving any such assumptions pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.
     1. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements has been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated hereunder.
     Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.
     2. Proofs of Claim Based on Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that Have Been Assumed. Any and all Proofs of Claim based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including hereunder, except Proofs of Claim asserting Cures, pursuant to the order approving such assumption, including the Confirmation Order, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
C.   Indemnification Obligations
     Each Indemnification Obligation shall be assumed by the applicable Debtor effective as of the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent such Indemnification Obligation is executory, unless such Indemnification Obligation previously was rejected by the Debtors pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court order or is the subject of a motion to reject pending on the Effective Date. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to honor or reaffirm Indemnification Obligations other than those terminated by a prior or subsequent order of the Bankruptcy Court, whether or not executory, in which case such honoring or reaffirmation shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release of any Claim on account of such Indemnification Obligation. Each Indemnification Obligation that is assumed, deemed assumed, honored, or reaffirmed shall remain in full force and effect, shall not be modified, reduced, discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected in any way, and shall survive Unimpaired and unaffected, irrespective of when such obligation arose.
D.   Insurance Policies
     Each insurance policy shall be assumed by the applicable Debtor effective as of the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent such insurance policy is executory, unless such insurance policy previously was rejected by the Debtors pursuant to a Bankruptcy Court order, is the subject of a motion to reject pending on the

40


 

Effective Date, or is included in the schedule of “Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases” contained in the Plan Supplement.
E.   Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
     With respect to each of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases listed on the schedule of “Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases,” the Debtors shall have designated a proposed Cure, and the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be conditioned upon the disposition of all issues with respect to Cure. Such Cure shall be satisfied by the Debtors or their assignee, if any, by payment of the Cure in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, or on such other terms as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court or agreed upon by the parties to the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Any provisions or terms of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases to be assumed pursuant to the Plan that are, or may be, alleged to be in default, shall be satisfied solely by Cure, or by an agreed-upon waiver of Cure.
     Prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors shall file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve upon counterparties to such Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases a notice of the proposed assumption that will (1) list the applicable Cure, if any, (2) describe the procedures for filing objections to the proposed assumption or Cure, and (3) explain the process by which related disputes will be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court. Except with respect to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases in which the Debtors and the applicable counterparties have stipulated in writing to payment of Cure, all requests for payment of Cure that differ from the amounts proposed by the Debtors must be filed with the Claims and Solicitation Agent on or before the Cure Bar Date. Any request for payment of Cure that is not timely filed shall be disallowed automatically and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion and shall not be enforceable against any Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and any Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by the Debtors of the amounts listed on the Debtors’ proposed Cure schedule, notwithstanding anything included in the Schedules or in any Proof of Claim to the contrary; provided, however, that nothing shall prevent the Reorganized Debtors from paying any Cure despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to file such request for payment of such Cure. The Reorganized Debtors also may settle any Cure without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
     If the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, object to any Cure or any other matter related to assumption, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Cure and any related issues. If there is a dispute regarding such Cure, the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to assumption, then payment of Cure shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable after entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption of any

41


 

Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease and associated Cure will be deemed to have consented to such assumption and Cure. The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right either to reject or nullify the assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease after a Final Order determining the Cure or any request for adequate assurance of future performance required to assume such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is made.
     Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cures, Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption.
F.   Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors Under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
     Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of pre-existing obligations owed to the Debtors under such contracts or leases. In particular, notwithstanding any nonbankruptcy law to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve and do not waive any right to receive, or any continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance obligations on goods previously purchased by the contracting Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, from counterparties to rejected or repudiated Executory Contracts.
G.   Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases
     Unless otherwise provided by a Bankruptcy Court order, any Proofs of Claim asserting Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the Plan or otherwise must be filed with the Claims and Solicitation Agent no later than 30 days after the later of the Effective Date or the effective date of rejection. Any Proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that are not timely filed shall be disallowed automatically and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion and shall not be enforceable against any Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim to the contrary. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall be classified as Other General Unsecured Claims against the applicable Debtor counterparty thereto.
H.   Contracts, Intercompany Contracts, and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date
     Contracts, Intercompany Contracts, and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, and any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by any Debtor, may be performed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of business.

42


 

I.   Reservation of Rights
     Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Plan Supplement, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have 45 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.
ARTICLE VIII.

Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date (including the Confirmation Order), no Claim shall become an Allowed Claim unless and until such Claim is deemed Allowed or the Bankruptcy Court has entered a Final Order, including the Confirmation Order, in the Chapter 11 Cases allowing such Claim.

     Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim or disputed Interest that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or Interest or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim or Interest, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or Interest or during the appeal relating to such objection. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim or Interest, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim or Interest for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of

43


 

distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim or Interest.
D.   Expungement or Adjustment to Paid, Satisfied, or Superseded Claims and Interests
     Any Claim or Interest that has been paid, satisfied, or superseded, or any Claim or Interest that has been amended or superseded, may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register by the Reorganized Debtors without a claims objection having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
E.   No Interest
     Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan, required under applicable bankruptcy law, or agreed to by the Debtors, the Confirmation Order, or a postpetition agreement in writing between the Debtors and a holder of a Claim, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
F.   Disallowance of Claims or Interests
     EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE AGREED, ANY AND ALL PROOFS OF CLAIM FILED AFTER THE APPLICABLE DEADLINE FOR FILING SUCH PROOFS OF CLAIM SHALL BE DEEMED DISALLOWED AND EXPUNGED AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE WITHOUT ANY FURTHER NOTICE TO OR ACTION, ORDER, OR APPROVAL OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, AND HOLDERS OF SUCH CLAIMS MAY NOT RECEIVE ANY DISTRIBUTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH CLAIMS, UNLESS SUCH LATE PROOF OF CLAIM IS DEEMED TIMELY FILED BY A FINAL ORDER OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT ON OR BEFORE THE LATER OF (1) THE CONFIRMATION HEARING AND (2) 45 DAYS AFTER THE APPLICABLE DEADLINE FOR FILING SUCH PROOFS OF CLAIM.
     All Claims of any Entity from which property is sought by the Debtors under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors allege is a transferee of a transfer that is avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be disallowed if (1) the Entity, on the one hand, and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, on the other hand, agree or the Bankruptcy Court has determined by Final Order that such Entity or transferee is liable to turn over any property or monies under any of the aforementioned sections of the Bankruptcy Code and (2) such Entity or transferee has failed to turn over such property by the date set forth in such agreement or Final Order.
G.   Amendments to Claims
     On or after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, a Claim may not be filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Reorganized

44


 

Debtors, and, to the extent such prior authorization is not received, any such new or amended Claim filed shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
H.   No Distributions Pending Allowance
     If an objection to a Claim or portion thereof is filed prior to the Effective Date, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim or portion thereof, as applicable, unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
I.   Distributions After Allowance
     To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions, if any, shall be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Distribution Agent shall provide to the holder of such Claim the distribution, if any, to which such holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, without any interest to be paid on account of such Claim unless required under applicable bankruptcy law.

Accordingly, any Claim, proof of which is by the registered or beneficial holder of a Claim, may be disallowed as duplicative of a Claim of the Notes Trustee, without need for any further action or Bankruptcy Court order.
     9. Withholding of shares of New Visteon Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, Reorganized Visteon shall hold any shares of New Visteon Common Stock to which a Contingent Holder would otherwise be entitled if it were not a Contingent Holder until such time that such holder provides the Distribution Agent written certification that such holder is not in violation of any laws or regulations of any Governmental Unit. Such Contingent Holder shall not be a shareholder of Reorganized Visteon and shall have no voting rights or other rights of a shareholder of Reorganized Visteon with respect to such withheld shares. As soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt by the Distribution Agent of a Contingent Holder’s written certification that such holder is in compliance with the laws and regulations of the applicable Governmental Units, but not earlier than the Effective Date, Reorganized Visteon shall release such withheld shares of New Visteon Common Stock for distribution to the Contingent Holder. To the extent that a Contingent Holder fails to provide the Distribution Agent with such certification within 180 days of the Effective Date, Reorganized Visteon shall be permitted as agent for the Contingent Holder to market for sale that portion of the Allowed Claim underlying such Contingent Holder’s withheld shares of New Visteon

47


 

Common Stock. The proceeds of any such sale (minus any fees or expenses incurred by Reorganized Visteon in connection with such sale) shall be distributed to such Contingent Holder as soon as such sale can be facilitated, subject to applicable regulatory approval, if any. Under the Rights Offering Sub Plan, under no circumstance shall a Contingent Holder have a claim for the return of any funds paid in connection with the purchase of Rights Offering Shares, or, if applicable, be released from its obligations under the Equity Commitment Agreement, unless otherwise provided for therein, solely on account of such holder being a Contingent Holder.
B.   Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed After the Effective Date
     1. Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, a Final Order, or as agreed to by the relevant parties, distributions under the Plan on account of Disputed Claims that become Allowed after the Effective Date shall be made on the Periodic Distribution Date that is at least 30 days after the Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim; provided, however, that (a) Disputed Claims that are Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases or assumed by the Debtors on or before the Effective Date that become Allowed after the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice and (b) Disputed Claims that are Priority Tax Claims or Secured Tax Claims that become Allowed Priority Tax Claims or Allowed Secured Tax Claims after the Effective Date shall be paid in full in Cash on the Periodic Distribution Date that is at least 30 days after the Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim or over a five-year period as provided in section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code with annual interest provided by applicable non-bankruptcy law.
     2. Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as otherwise agreed by the relevant parties (a) no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order and (b) any Entity that holds both an Allowed Claim and a Disputed Claim shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order or the Claims have been Allowed or expunged. All distributions made pursuant to the Plan on account of a Disputed Claim that is deemed an Allowed Claim by the Bankruptcy Court shall be made together with any dividends, payments, or other distributions made on account of, as well as any obligations arising from, the distributed property as if such Allowed Claim had been an Allowed Claim on the dates distributions were previously made to holders of Allowed Claims included in the applicable Class; provided, however, that no interest shall be paid on account to such Allowed Claims unless required under applicable bankruptcy law.
C.   Delivery of Distributions
     1. Record Date for Distributions. On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those record holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the

48


 

Distribution Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Claim or Interest, other than one based on a publicly traded Certificate is transferred less than 20 days before the Distribution Record Date, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to the transferee only to the extent practical and in any event only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.
     2. Distribution Process. The Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required under the Plan, except that distributions to holders of Allowed Claims governed by a separate agreement and administered by a Servicer shall be deposited with the appropriate Servicer, at which time such distributions shall be deemed complete, and the Servicer shall deliver such distributions in accordance with the Plan and the terms of the governing agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, and notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be made to holders of record as of the Distribution Record Date by the Distribution Agent or a Servicer, as appropriate: (a) to the signatory set forth on any of the Proofs of Claim filed by such holder or other representative identified therein (or at the last known addresses of such holder if no Proof of Claim is filed or if the Debtors have been notified in writing of a change of address); (b) at the addresses set forth in any written notices of address changes delivered to the Distribution Agent after the date of any related Proof of Claim; (c) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004 if no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Distribution Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address; (d) at the addresses reflected in the Schedules if no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Distribution Agent has not received a written notice of a change of address; or (e) on any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the holder’s behalf. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall not incur any liability whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan.
     3. Accrual of Dividends and Other Rights. For purposes of determining the accrual of dividends or other rights after the Effective Date, New Visteon Common Stock shall be deemed distributed as of the Effective Date regardless of the date on which it is actually issued, dated, authenticated, or distributed; provided however, the Reorganized Debtors shall not pay any such dividends or distribute such other rights, if any, until after distributions of New Visteon Common Stock actually take place.
     4. Compliance Matters. In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.

49


 

     5. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate as of Thursday, May 28, 2009 as quoted at 4:00 p.m. (EDT), mid-range spot rate of exchange for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on Friday, May 29, 2009.
     6. Fractional, De Minimis, Undeliverable, and Unclaimed Distributions.
     a. Fractional Distributions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, payments of fractions of shares of New Visteon Common Stock shall not be made and shall be deemed to be zero, and the Distribution Agent shall not be required to make distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment of Cash of a fraction of a dollar pursuant to the Plan would otherwise be required, the actual payment shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars or less being rounded down.
     b. De Minimis Distributions. Neither the Distribution Agent nor any Servicer shall have any obligation to make a distribution on account of an Allowed Claim if (i) the aggregate amount of all distributions authorized to be made on the Periodic Distribution Date in question is or has an economic value less than $250,000, or (ii) the amount to be distributed to the specific holder of an Allowed Claim on the particular Periodic Distribution Date does not constitute a final distribution to such holder.
     c. Undeliverable Distributions. If any distribution to a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest is returned to a Distribution Agent as undeliverable, no further distributions shall be made to such holder unless and until such Distribution Agent is notified in writing of such holder’s then-current address, at which time all currently due missed distributions shall be made to such holder on the next Periodic Distribution Date. Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable, or such distribution reverts to the Reorganized Debtors or is cancelled pursuant to ARTICLE IX.C.6.d, and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind.
     d. Reversion. Any distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed Distribution for a period of six months after distribution shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such Unclaimed Distribution shall revest in the Reorganized Debtors and, to the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is New Visteon Common Stock, shall be deemed cancelled. Upon such revesting, the Claim of any holder or its successors with respect to such property shall be cancelled, discharged, and forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary. The provisions of the Plan regarding undeliverable distributions and Unclaimed Distributions shall apply with equal force to distributions that are issued by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Distribution Agent made pursuant to any indenture or Certificate (but only with respect to the initial distribution by the Servicer to holders that are entitled to be recognized under the relevant indenture or Certificate and not with respect to Entities to whom those

50


 

recognized holders distribute), notwithstanding any provision in such indenture or Certificate to the contrary and notwithstanding any otherwise applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property law.
     7. Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities. On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each holder of a Certificate, except holders of Class I Claims, shall surrender such Certificate to the Distribution Agent or a Servicer (to the extent the relevant Claim is governed by an agreement and administered by a Servicer). Such Certificate shall be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to such Certificate. No distribution of property pursuant to the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of any such holder unless and until such Certificate is received by the Distribution Agent or the Servicer or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established to the satisfaction of the Distribution Agent or the Servicer pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE IX.C.8. Any holder who fails to surrender or cause to be surrendered such Certificate or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of loss and indemnity acceptable to the Distribution Agent or the Servicer prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, shall have its Claim discharged with no further action, be forever barred from asserting any such Claim against the relevant Reorganized Debtor or its property, be deemed to have forfeited all rights, and Claims with respect to such Certificate, and not participate in any distribution under the Plan; furthermore, all property with respect to such forfeited distributions, including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property law to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, this ARTICLE IX.C.7 shall not apply to any Claims reinstated pursuant to the terms of the Plan.
     8. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Debt Securities. Any holder of Allowed Claims evidenced by a Certificate that has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering such Certificate, deliver to the Distribution Agent or Servicer, if applicable, an affidavit of loss acceptable to the Distribution Agent or Servicer setting forth the unavailability of the Certificate, and such additional indemnity as may be required reasonably by the Distribution Agent or Servicer to hold the Distribution Agent or Servicer harmless from any damages, liabilities, or costs incurred in treating such holder as a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest. Upon compliance with this procedure by a holder of an Allowed Claim evidenced by such a lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Certificate, such holder shall, for all purposes pursuant to the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such Certificate.
D.   Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties
     1. Claims Paid by Third Parties. The Claims and Solicitation Agent shall reduce in full a Claim, and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. To the extent a holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such holder shall, within two weeks of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the

51


 

holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan.
     2. Claims Payable by Insurance Carriers. No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until the holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, such Claim may be expunged to the extent of any agreed upon satisfaction on the Claims Register by the Claims and Solicitation Agent without a Claims objection having to be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
     3. Applicability of Insurance Policies. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.
E.   Setoffs
     Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan or in an Accommodation Agreement, each Reorganized Debtor pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the holder of a Claim, may set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any Claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtor of any such Claims, rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor may possess against such holder. In no event shall any holder of Claims be entitled to set off any Claim against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, unless such holder has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff on or before the Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or otherwise that such holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to section 553 or otherwise.
F.   Allocation Between Principal and Accrued Interest
     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the aggregate consideration paid to holders with respect to their Allowed Claims shall be treated pursuant to the Plan as allocated first to the

52


 

principal amount of such Allowed Claims (to the extent thereof) and, thereafter, to the interest, if any, accrued through the Effective Date.
ARTICLE X.
EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN
A.   Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests
     Except with respect to Claims, if any, held by Investors arising under the Equity Commitment Agreement or as otherwise provided in the Plan and effective as of the Effective Date: (1) the rights afforded in the Plan and the treatment of all Claims and Interests shall be in exchange for and in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release of all Claims and Interests of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on such Claims from and after the Petition Date, against the Debtors or any of their assets, property, or Estates; (2) the Plan shall bind all holders of Claims and Interests, notwithstanding whether any such holders failed to vote to accept or reject the Plan or voted to reject the Plan; (3) all Claims and Interests shall be satisfied, discharged, and released in full, and the Debtors’ liability with respect thereto shall be extinguished completely, including any liability of the kind specified under section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (4) all Entities shall be precluded from asserting against the Debtors, the Debtors’ Estates, the Reorganized Debtors, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties any other Claims or Interests based upon any documents, instruments, or any act or omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the Effective Date.
B.   Subordinated Claims
     The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Interests and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to re-classify any Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.
C.   Compromise and Settlement of Claims and Controversies
     Pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits provided pursuant to the Plan or any distribution to be made on account of an Allowed Claim or Interest, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise of all Claims, Interests, and controversies relating to the contractual, legal, and subordination rights that a holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any Allowed Claim or Interest. The entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims, Interests, and controversies, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that any such compromise or

53


 

settlement is in the best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and holders of Claims and Interests and is fair, equitable, and reasonable.

E.   Releases by Holders of Claims and Interests
     As of the Effective Date, the Releasing Parties are deemed to have released and discharged the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their Estates, and the Released Parties from any and all Claims, Interests, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, including any derivative Claims, asserted on behalf of the Debtors, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereinafter arising, in law, equity, or otherwise, that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors, the Debtors’ restructuring, the Chapter 11 Cases, the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any security of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Interest that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Party, the restructuring of Claims and Interests prior to or in the Chapter 11 Cases, the negotiation, formulation, or preparation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, the Equity

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the releases set forth above do not release any (i) post-Effective Date obligations of any party under the Plan or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan or (ii) Claims held by Investors arising under the Equity Commitment Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall in any way affect the operation of ARTICLE X.A of the Plan, pursuant to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.
F.   Exculpation
     The Exculpated Parties shall neither have, nor incur any liability to any Entity for any Exculpated Claim; provided, however, that the foregoing “exculpation” shall have no effect on the liability of (1) any Entity that results from any such act or omission that is determined in a Final Order to have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (2) any Debtor or Reorganized Debtor not exculpated pursuant to the Equity Commitment Agreement in connection with Claims arising thereunder.
     The Exculpated Parties have, and upon Confirmation shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the distributions of the New Visteon Common Stock pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not and shall not be liable at any time for the violations of any applicable, law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan.
G.   Injunction
     From and after the Effective Date, all Entities are permanently enjoined from commencing or continuing in any manner, any suit, action, or other proceeding, on account of or respecting any Claim, demand, Lien, liability, obligation, debt, right, Cause of Action, Interest, or remedy released or to be released, exculpated, or to be exculpated pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order.
H.   Protection Against Discriminatory Treatment
     Consistent with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and paragraph 2 of Article VI of the United States Constitution, no Governmental Unit shall discriminate against the Reorganized Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom such Reorganized Debtors have been associated, solely because one of the Debtors has been a debtor under chapter 11, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtor is granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

55


 

I.   Indemnification
     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, all indemnification provisions currently in place (whether in the by-laws, certificates of incorporation, articles of limited partnership, board resolutions, contracts, or otherwise) for the directors, officers, employees, attorneys, other professionals, and agents of the Debtors that served in such capacity from and after the Petition Date and such directors’ and officers’ respective affiliates, shall be reinstated (or assumed, as the case may be), and shall survive effectiveness of the Plan.
J.   Recoupment
     In no event shall any holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to recoup any Claim or Interest against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, unless such holder actually has performed such recoupment and provided notice thereof in writing to the Debtors on or before the Confirmation Date, notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or Interest or otherwise that such holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of recoupment.
K.   Release of Liens
     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully released, and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor and its successors and assigns.
L.   Reimbursement or Contribution
     If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the Effective Date, such Claim shall be forever disallowed notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless prior to the Effective Date (1) such Claim has been adjudicated as noncontingent or (2) the relevant holder of a Claim has filed a noncontingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered determining such Claim as no longer contingent.
ARTICLE XI.

WARRANT AGREEMENT
by and between
VISTEON CORPORATION
and
[                    ],
as Warrant Agent
Dated as of [                    ], 2010
 

 


 

WARRANT AGREEMENT
     This WARRANT AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Warrant Agreement”), is entered into as of [                    ], 20103, by and between VISTEON CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [                    ] 4, a [                    ] [                    ], as warrant agent (together with any successor appointed pursuant to Section 20 hereof, the “Warrant Agent”).
     WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Visteon Corporation and its debtor affiliates pursuant to chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) filed on [                    ], 2010 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. [                    ] (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan”), the Company proposes to issue Warrants (the “Warrants”) entitling the holders thereof to purchase up to 2,355,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock” together with any other securities, cash or other property that may be issuable upon exercise of a Warrant as shall result from the adjustments specified in Section 12 hereof at an exercise price of $9.66 per share of Common Stock, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 12 hereof (the “Exercise Price”);
     WHEREAS, the Warrants are being issued pursuant to, and upon the terms and conditions set forth in, the Plan in an offering in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) afforded by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and of any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws;
     WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance of Warrants and other matters as provided herein; and
     WHEREAS, for purposes of this Warrant Agreement, “person” shall be interpreted broadly to include an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, joint stock company, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, national banking association, trust, trustee, unincorporated organization, government, governmental unit, agency, or political subdivision thereof, or other entity.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
     SECTION 1 Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as warrant agent for the Company in respect of the Warrants upon the express terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth (and no implied terms), and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
     SECTION 2 Issuance of Warrants. In accordance with Section 5 hereof and the Plan and subject to the next sentence, the Company will cause to be issued to the Depository (as defined below), one or more Global Warrant Certificates (as defined below) evidencing the Warrants. At the election of a holder of Warrants and in lieu of holding Warrants through the Depository, such holder may elect to be issued Warrants by book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent (“Book-Entry Warrants”) and such Warrants shall be evidenced by statements issued by the Warrant Agent from time to time to the registered holder of book-entry Warrants reflecting such book-entry position (the “Warrant

Statement”). Each Warrant entitles the holder, upon proper exercise and payment of the applicable Exercise Price, to receive from the Company, one share of Common Stock (as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 12 hereof). The shares of Common Stock or (as provided pursuant to Section 12 hereof) other shares of capital stock deliverable upon proper exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Shares.” The words “holder” or “holders” as used herein in respect of any Warrants or Warrant Shares, shall mean the registered holder or registered holders thereof.
     SECTION 3 Warrant Certificates. Subject to Section 6 of this Agreement, the Warrants shall be issued (1) via book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent and evidenced by a Warrant Statement, and/or (2) in the form of one or more global certificates (the “Global Warrant Certificates”), in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Warrant Statements and Global Warrant Certificates may bear such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Warrant Agreement, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with any law or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with any rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by (i) in the case of Global Warrant Certificates, the Appropriate Officers (as hereinafter defined) executing such Global Warrant Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Global Warrant Certificates, or (ii) in the case of a Warrant Statement, any Appropriate Officer, and all of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Warrant Agent. The Global Warrant Certificates shall be deposited on or after the date hereof with, or with the Warrant Agent as custodian for, The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the Depository’s nominee. 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 Warrant Agreement.
     SECTION 4 Execution of Warrant Certificates. Global Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, or any Vice President, and by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary (each, an “Appropriate Officer”). Each such signature upon the Global Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a facsimile or other electronically transmitted signature (including, without limitation, electronic transmission in portable document format (.pdf)) of any such Appropriate Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Global Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile or other electronically transmitted signature of any Appropriate Officer who shall have been an Appropriate Officer at the time of entering into this Warrant Agreement. If any Appropriate Officer who shall have signed any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such Appropriate Officer before the Global Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent or delivered by the Company, such Global Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though such Appropriate Officer had not ceased to be such Appropriate Officer of the Company; and any Global 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, shall be a proper Appropriate Officer of the Company to sign such Global Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such Appropriate Officer.
     Global Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by the Warrant Agent and shall represent one or more whole Warrants.
     SECTION 5 Registration and Countersignature. Upon receipt of a written order of the Company, the Warrant Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall (i) register in the Warrant Register (as defined below) the Book-Entry Warrants as well as any Global Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Warrant Agreement and (ii) upon receipt of the Global Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign one or

2


 

more Global Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants and shall deliver such Global 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 and the number of Warrants that are to be issued as one or more Global Warrant Certificates. A Global Warrant Certificate shall be, and shall remain, subject to the provisions of this Warrant 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. Each holder of Warrants shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Warrant Agreement (a copy of which is available on request to the Secretary of the Company) as fully and effectively as if such holder had signed the same.
     No Global Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Global Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Global Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that such Global Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.
     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 and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 of this Warrant Agreement, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent.
     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of any Warrant in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent and the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing made in a Global Warrant Certificate by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the holder of the Warrant thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
     SECTION 6 Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
          (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or Beneficial Interests Therein. The transfer and exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Warrant Agreement and the procedures of the Depository therefor.
          (b) Exchange of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for a Book-Entry Warrant.
               (i) Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate may, upon request, exchange such beneficial interest for a Book-Entry Warrant. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent from the Depository or its nominee of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depository on behalf of any person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository 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 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 and deliver to said Warrant holder a Warrant Statement.
               (ii) Book-Entry Warrants issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be registered in such names as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall deliver such Warrant Statements to the persons in whose names such Warrants are so registered.

          (c) Transfer and Exchange of Book-Entry Warrants. Book-Entry Warrants surrendered for exchange or for registration of transfer shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Book-Entry Warrants shall then be disposed of by or at the direction of the Company in accordance with applicable law. When Book-Entry Warrants are presented to or deposited with the Warrant Agent with a written request:
               (i) to register the transfer of the Book-Entry Warrants; or
               (ii) to exchange such Book-Entry Warrants for an equal number of Book-Entry Warrants of other authorized denominations,
then in each case the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its 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, duly executed by the holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing.
          (d) Exchange or Transfer of a Book-Entry Warrant for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of appropriate written instruments of transfer with respect to a Book-Entry Warrant, in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to direct the Depository 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 (such instruments of transfer and instructions to be duly executed by the holder thereof or the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, such signatures to be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution to the extent required by the Warrant Agent or the Depositary), then the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Book-Entry Warrant on the Warrant Register and cause, or direct the Depository to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository 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 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 Warrant Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in Section 6(f)), unless and until it is exchanged in whole for a Book-Entry Warrant, a Global Warrant Certificate may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
          (f) Book-Entry Warrants. If at any time:
               (i) the Depository for the Global Warrant Certificates notifies the Company that the Depository is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Global Warrant Certificates and a successor Depository 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 all Warrants shall be exclusively in the form of Book-Entry Warrants, 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, 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 Depository or, in the absence of instructions from the Depository, the Company.

4


 

          (g) Cancellation of Global Warrant Certificate. At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Warrant Certificates have either been exchanged for Book-Entry Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, all Global Warrant Certificates shall be returned to, or cancelled and retained pursuant to applicable law by, the Warrant Agent.
          (h) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants.
               (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign Global Warrant Certificates and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to register Book-Entry Warrants, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 hereof and this Section 6 and for the purpose of any distribution of additional Global Warrant Certificates contemplated by Section 12 hereof.
               (ii) All Book-Entry Warrants and Global Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Book-Entry Warrants or Global Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Warrant Agreement as the Book-Entry Warrants or Global Warrant Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
               (iii) So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Warrant Certificate, the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the sole owner or holder of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant Certificate for all purposes under this Warrant Agreement. Except as provided in Sections 6(b)and 6(f) hereof upon the exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for a Book-Entry Warrant, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Warrant Certificate will not be entitled to have any Warrants registered in their names, and will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Warrants and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Warrants or this Warrant 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair the operation of customary practices of the Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate.
               (iv) Subject to Sections 6(b), (c) and (d) hereof and this Section 6(h), the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of all information required to be delivered hereunder, from time to time register the transfer of any Book-Entry Warrants in the Warrant Register and the transfer of any Global Warrant Certificates in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of the Global Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants at the Warrant Agent Office referred to in Section 21 hereof (the “Warrant Agent Office”), duly endorsed, and accompanied by a completed form of assignment (or with respect to a Book-Entry Warrant, only such completed form of assignment), duly signed by the holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution to the extent required by the Warrant Agent or the Depositary.
     Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate or a Warrant Statement, as the case may be, shall be issued to the transferee.
     SECTION 7 Acknowledgment; Securities Law Compliance. Each Warrant holder, by its acceptance of any Warrant under this Warrant Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that the Warrants were issued, and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof shall be issued, pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, and to the extent that a Warrant holder (or holder of Warrant Shares) is an “underwriter” as defined in Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, such holder may not be able to

sell or transfer any Warrants or Warrant Shares in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration thereunder.
     SECTION 8 Terms of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants.
          (a) Subject to the terms of this Warrant Agreement, each Warrant holder shall have the right, which may be exercised at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the period commencing on the date of original issuance of the Warrant Certificates pursuant to the terms of this Warrant Agreement and ending at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on [                    ]5 (the “Expiration Date”), to exercise each Warrant and receive from the Company the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price then in effect for such Warrant Shares.

          (b) Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 12, each Warrant, when exercised, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at the Exercise Price then in effect for such share of Common Stock. Each Warrant not exercised pursuant to this Warrant Agreement prior to the Expiration Date shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Warrant Agreement shall cease as of the Expiration Date.
          (c) The holder of Warrants may, until 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Expiration Date, exercise, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, such holder’s right to purchase Warrant Shares by:

Market on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices per share of Warrant Shares on such principal Trading Market (as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), (b) if the Warrant Shares are not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market and if prices for the Warrant Shares are then reported in the “pink sheets” published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices per share of Warrant Shares so reported or (c) if the shares of Warrant Shares are not then publicly traded the fair market value as of such date of a share of Warrant Shares as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.
     “Trading Day” means (a) if the Warrant Shares are listed or quoted on a Trading Market, a day on which the principal Trading Market is open for business or (b) if the Warrant Shares are not listed or quoted on a Trading Market, a business day.

          (e) To the extent a Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered in respect of a Warrant prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, but the deliveries and payments specified in Sections 8(a)(ii) and 8(a)(iii) above are effected thereafter but no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Settlement Date, the Warrants shall be nonetheless deemed exercised prior to the Expiration Date for the purposes of this Warrant Agreement.
          (f) Subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 12 hereof, each Warrant, when exercised, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at the Exercise Price then in effect. Each Warrant not exercised pursuant to this Warrant Agreement prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date shall become void and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Warrant Agreement shall cease as of such time.
          (g) Subject to Section 8(h), the Exercise Amount shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America either (i) by certified or official bank check made payable to the order of the Company or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account arranged with the Company prior to exercise.
          (h) In connection with the exercise of Warrants by the holder thereof, such holder shall have the right, in lieu of paying the Exercise Amount for such Warrants in cash (a “Cashless Exercise”), to instruct the Company to reduce the number of Warrant Shares issuable to such holder upon exercise of such Warrants by delivering to such holder a number of Warrant Shares determined in accordance with the following formula:

     For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (17 CFR §230.144), the Company and the Warrant Agent agree that the exercise of Warrants in accordance with the Cashless Exercise option shall be deemed to be a conversion of such Warrants, pursuant to the terms hereof, into Warrant Shares.
          (i) Any exercise of a Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a binding agreement between the holder and the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms; provided that a holder may condition its exercise of a Warrant on the consummation of a Reorganization Event (as defined below).
          (j) The Warrant Agent shall:
               (i) Examine all Warrant Exercise Notices and all other documents delivered to it by or on behalf of holders to ascertain whether, on their face, such Warrant Exercise Notices and any such other documents have been executed and completed in accordance with their terms;
               (ii) where a Warrant Exercise Notice 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 Warrant exists, the Warrant Agent shall 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;

               (iv) advise the Company, no later than three business days after receipt of a Warrant Exercise Notice, of (x) the receipt of such Warrant Exercise Notice and the number of Warrants exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant Agreement, (y) the instructions with respect to delivery of the Warrant Shares, subject to the timely receipt from the Depository of the necessary information, and (z) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require; and
               (v) subject to the Warrant Shares being made available to the Warrant Agent by or on behalf of the Company for delivery to the Depository, liaise with the Depository and endeavor to effect such delivery to the relevant accounts at the Depository in accordance with its requirements.
          (k) All questions as to the validity, form and sufficiency (including time of receipt) of a Warrant exercise shall be reasonably determined by the Company in good faith, which determination shall be final and binding. The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of and, except to the extent such liability arises from the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (each as determined by a final, non appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company for acting or refraining from acting upon, or as a result of such determination by the Company. The Company reserves the right to reject any and all Warrant Exercise Notices not in proper form. Such determination by the Company shall be final and binding on the holders, absent manifest error. Moreover, the Company reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to the exercise of Warrants or defects in Warrant Exercise Notices with regard to any particular exercise of Warrants. The Company shall be under no 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.
          (l) As soon as reasonably practicable after the exercise of any Warrant, the Company shall issue, or otherwise deliver, in authorized denominations to or upon the order of the holder of such Warrant either:
               (i) if such holder holds the Warrants being exercised through the Depository’s book-entry transfer facilities, by same-day or next-day credit to the Depository for the account of such holder or for the account of a participant in the Depository the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled, in each case registered in such name and delivered to such account as directed in the Warrant

Exercise Notice by such holder or by the direct participant in the Depository through which such holder is acting; or
               (ii) if such holder holds the Warrants being exercised in the form of Book-Entry Warrants, a book-entry interest in the Warrant Shares registered on the books of the Company’s stock transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) or, at the Company’s option, by delivery to the address designated by such holder in its Warrant Exercise Notice of a physical certificate or certificates representing the number of Warrant Shares to which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such holder. Such Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date of the delivery thereof.
     Warrants shall be exercisable during the period provided for in Section 8(a) at the election of the holder thereof, either as an entirety or from time to time for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants. If less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of Warrants are exercised at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, a new Global Warrant Certificate or Certificates shall be issued for the remaining number of Warrants evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate so surrendered, and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign the new Global Warrant Certificate(s) pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof and this Section 8. The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares are to be issued (or such Warrant Shares are to be registered, in the case of a book-entry transfer) upon exercise of a Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date such Warrant Exercise Notice is delivered.
          (m) For purposes of this Warrant Agreement, a “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York City are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close or remain closed. In accordance with Section 14 hereof, no fractional shares shall be issued upon exercise of any Warrants.
          (n) All Global Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Global Warrant Certificates shall then be disposed of by or at the direction of the Company in accordance with applicable law. The Warrant Agent shall (x) advise an authorized representative of the Company as directed by the Company by the end of each day on which Warrants were exercised, of (i) the number of shares of Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of a Warrant, (ii) the delivery of Global Warrant Certificates evidencing the balance, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable after such exercise of the Warrant and (iii) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require and (y) concurrently pay to the Company all funds received by the Warrant Agent in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. The Warrant Agent shall confirm such information to the Company in writing.
          (o) The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Warrant Agreement and any notices given or received hereunder, and provide, at the Company’s expense, copies thereof to any registered holder of the Warrants requesting, in writing, such copy prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. The Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of this Warrant Agreement as the Warrant Agent may reasonably request.
     SECTION 9 Payment of Taxes. No service charge shall be made to any holder of a Warrant for any exercise, exchange or registration of transfer of Warrants, and the Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of Warrant Shares or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of a Warrant surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company and the Warrant Agent shall not be required to issue or deliver such Warrant Shares or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares unless or until the person or

9


 

persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company and the Warrant Agent that such tax has been paid.
     SECTION 10 Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. The Company may issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, upon evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of the Global Warrant Certificate in lieu of the Global Warrant Certificate, a new warrant certificate of like tenor and amount in the place of any Global Warrant Certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, and the Company and the Warrant Agent may require the owner of the lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company and the Warrant Agent a bond sufficient to indemnify them against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such Global Warrant Certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.
     SECTION 11 Reservation of Shares of Common Stock.
          (a) The Company will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may then be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, and the Transfer Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized and unissued or treasury shares of Common Stock as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Transfer Agent. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed to requisition from time to time from the Transfer Agent stock certificates issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants. The Company will supply the Transfer Agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose and will, upon request, provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 14. The Company will furnish the Transfer Agent with a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto, transmitted by the Company to the Warrant Agent and each holder. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm the accuracy of the information or the genuineness of the signatures contained in such notices or certificates.
          (b) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of Warrants will be, upon payment of the aggregate Exercise Price and issuance thereof, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof (other than any liens, charges and security interests created by the Warrant holder or the person to which the shares of Common Stock are to be issued).
     SECTION 12 Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 12.
          (a) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions, Combinations, Recapitalizations and Reclassification.
               (i) If at any time the Company shall: (A) pay a dividend on its Common Stock (or make some other distribution on its Common Stock) consisting of shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock for which a Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted so that the holder of each Warrant shall be entitled upon exercise to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock that such Warrant holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event (or, in the case of a dividend or distribution of Common Stock, immediately prior to the record date therefor). An adjustment made

10


 

pursuant to this Section 12(a) shall become effective immediately upon and contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such event.
               (ii) Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of any Warrant is adjusted as herein provided in Section 12(a), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
          (b) Extraordinary Dividends or Distributions. If the Company, at any time after the date of this Agreement, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock (in their capacity as such) or other shares of capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible, other than (i) a dividend or distribution described in Section 12(a)(i)(A), or (ii) distributions made to the holders of Common Stock upon the consummation of a Reorganization Event (any such non-excluded dividends or distributions, an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Exercise Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, dollar-for-dollar by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, without regard to any illiquidity or minority discounts) of any securities or other assets paid or distributed on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend.
          (c) Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments under this Section. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable and the Exercise Price provided for in this Section 12:
               (i) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by this Section 12 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur. 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. All calculations shall be made to the nearest cent and to the nearest one-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.
               (ii) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 (but subject to Section 14), fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/1000th of a share.
               (iii) Adjustments Not Made as of Settlement Date. If the adjustments required by this Section 12 have not been made by the Settlement Date, and the shares to be received by a Warrant holder on settlement are not entitled to participate in the relevant distribution or transaction (because they were not held on a related record date or otherwise), then the Company will adjust the number of shares that the Company will deliver to such Warrant holder in respect of the relevant Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.
               (iv) When No Adjustment Required. No adjustment need be made under this Section 12 for any issuance of options, equity or equity-based grants or other securities pursuant to the Company’s Management Equity Incentive Program (as defined in the Plan).
          (d) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger or Consolidation of the Company.
               (i) If a Reorganization Event shall occur, as a condition to the consummation of such Reorganization Event, effective provisions shall be made in the certificate of incorporation or articles of incorporation of the continuing or surviving or acquiring or resulting entity, or in any contract or agreement providing for such Reorganization Event, so that so long as any Warrant remains outstanding, each Warrant, upon the exercise thereof at any time after the consummation of such Reorganization Event, shall be exercisable into (at an initial Exercise Price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Reorganization Event), in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such

11


 

exercise prior to such consummation, solely the amount of cash, securities or other property (Substituted Property”) receivable pursuant to such Reorganization Event by a holder of the number of shares of Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of such Reorganization Event assuming such holder of Warrant Shares did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of Substituted Property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (provided that, if the kind or amount of Substituted Property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Warrant Shares in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“nonelecting share”), then for the purposes of this Section 12(d)(i) the kind and amount of Substituted Property receivable upon such Reorganization Event for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the electing shares). The provisions set forth herein providing for adjustments and otherwise for the protection of the holders of Warrants shall thereafter continue to be applicable on an as nearly equivalent basis as may be practicable and any such continuing or surviving or acquiring or resulting entity shall expressly assume all of the obligations of the Company set forth herein to the extent applicable.
               (ii) For purposes hereof, a “Reorganization Event” shall mean any transaction which the Company enters into constituting (i) a consolidation, merger, share exchange or similar transaction of the Company with or into another person pursuant to which the Common Stock is changed into, converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property (whether of the Company or another person); (ii) a reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification or similar transaction in which the Common Stock is exchanged for securities other than Common Stock (other than in circumstances covered by Section 12(a)); or (iii) a statutory exchange of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for securities of another person (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction).
          (e) Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock (if any) unless the Company shall take such corporate action in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Exercise Price.
     SECTION 13 Priority Adjustments, Further Actions. If any single action would require adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to more than one subsection of Section 12 hereof, only one adjustment shall be made and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest, relative to the rights and interests of the holders of the Warrants then outstanding, absolute value.
     SECTION 14 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants if it elects, if otherwise permitted, to make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share upon such exercise (after aggregating all fractional shares of each holder). If more than one Warrant shall be presented for exercise at the same time by the same holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable on exercise of all of the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 14, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall notify the Warrant Agent in writing of the amount to be paid in lieu of the fraction of a share of Common Stock and concurrently pay or provide to the Warrant Agent for payment to the Warrant holder an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) such fraction of a share of Common Stock and (ii) the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the Warrant was presented for exercise pursuant to Section 8 hereof. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty with respect to any payment for Warrant Shares under any Section of this Warrant Agreement relating to the payment of fractional Warrant Shares unless and until the Warrant Agent shall have received such notice and sufficient monies.

12


 

     SECTION 15 Warrant Holders not Stockholders. Nothing contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall be construed as conferring upon the holders of any Warrant (solely in its capacity as a holder of a Warrant) (i) the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter for which stockholders are entitled to vote or to attend any such meetings or any other proceedings of the holders of Common Stock; (ii) without limiting the provisions of Section 12 hereof, the right to receive any cash dividends, stock dividends, allotments or rights or other distributions paid, allotted or distributed or distributable to the holders of Common Stock prior to, or for which the relevant record date precedes, the date of the exercise of such Warrant; or (iii) any other rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to monitor or enforce compliance with this provision.
     SECTION 16 No Redemption. The Company shall not have any right to redeem any of the Warrants evidenced hereby.
     SECTION 17 Merger, Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent. Any person 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 all or substantially all of the corporate trust or agency business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. If, at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent by merger or consolidation succeeds to the agency created by this Warrant Agreement, any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, 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 shall not have been countersigned, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Global 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 shall have the full force and effect provided in the Global Warrant Certificates in this Warrant Agreement. If at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall 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 shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Global Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Global Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Global Warrant Certificates and in this Warrant Agreement.
     SECTION 18 Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes only the duties and obligations expressly imposed by this Warrant Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Warrants, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound:
          (a) The Warrant Agent may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, judgment, instruction, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by or who may be an employee of the Warrant Agent or one of its affiliates), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability and of information therein contained) which is believed by the Warrant Agent, in good faith, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons as set forth in Section 18(d).
          (b) The Warrant Agent shall have no duties, responsibilities or obligations as the Warrant Agent except those which are expressly set forth herein, and in any modification or amendment hereof to which the Warrant Agent has consented in writing, and no duties, responsibilities or obligations shall be implied or inferred.

13


 

          (c) The statements contained herein and in the Global Warrant Certificates shall be deemed to be statements of the Company only. The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the same and shall not be required to verify the same.
          (d) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agreement the Warrant Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such fact or matter may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and in reliance upon such certificate, the Warrant Agent shall take any action or omit to take any action authorized under the provisions of this Warrant Agreement. In the event the Warrant Agent reasonably believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Warrant Agent hereunder, or is uncertain of any action to take hereunder, the Warrant Agent, may, following prior written notice to the Company, refrain from taking any action, and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to the Company or any other person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Warrant Agent receives written instructions signed by the Company which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the reasonable satisfaction of the Warrant Agent.
          (e) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Warrant Agreement (including, without limitation, any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the authorization or reservation of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 11 hereof, and the due execution and delivery by the Company of this Warrant Agreement or any Global Warrant Certificate) or in the Global Warrant Certificates to be complied with by the Company.
          (f) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company or an employee of the Warrant Agent) and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or any holder of any Warrant in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel.
          (g) The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility for any action taken in reliance on any Global Warrant Certificate, Warrant Statement, certificate representing shares of Common Stock, notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties. The Warrant Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or revision of this Warrant Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a writing between and signed by, the Company and the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to take instructions or directions except those given in accordance with this Warrant Agreement.
          (h) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys, accountants, agents or other experts, and the Warrant Agent will not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or unintentional misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company or the holders of the Warrants resulting from any such act, default, neglect or unintentional misconduct, absent gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (as each is determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection and continued employment or engagement thereof.
          (i) The Warrant Agent will not be under any duty or responsibility to insure compliance with any applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with the issuance, transfer or exchange of Global Warrant Certificates.
          (j) The Warrant Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act, duty, obligation or responsibility by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Warrant Agent (including, without

14


 

limitation, any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God, war, civil disorder or failure of any means of communication).
          (k) The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the preparation, delivery, administration and execution of this Warrant Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable counsel fees), taxes (including withholding taxes) and governmental charges and other charges of any kind and nature actually incurred by the Warrant Agent in the execution, delivery and performance of its responsibilities under this Warrant Agreement and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent, or any person acting on behalf of the Warrant Agent, in the execution, delivery and performance of its responsibilities under this Warrant Agreement except as a result of its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction).
          (l) The Warrant Agent, shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more holders of Global Warrant Certificates shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as it may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. All rights of action under this Warrant Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrants or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Warrants, as their respective rights or interests may appear.
          (m) Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, the Warrant Agent, and any member, stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent, may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.
          (n) The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for the Company, and its duties shall be determined solely by the express provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection with this Warrant Agreement, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction); provided that in no event shall the Warrant Agent be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, lost profits). Any liability of the Warrant Agent under this Agreement, except for liability arising out of, or in connection with, the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) of the Warrant Agent, will be limited to the amount of aggregate fees paid by the Company to the Warrant Agent.
          (o) The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of any Warrant to make or cause to be made any adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of the shares of Common Stock or other securities or property deliverable as provided in this Warrant Agreement, or to determine whether any facts exist which may require any of such adjustments, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustments, when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value or the kind or amount of any shares of Common Stock or of any securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or with respect to whether any such shares of Common

15


 

Stock or other securities will when issued be validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and makes no representation with respect thereto. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable to confirm or verify the accuracy or necessity of any calculation.
          (p) The Company agrees to perform, execute and 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.
          (q) The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Warrant (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant; nor shall it be responsible to make or be liable for any adjustments required under any provision hereof, including but not limited to Section 11 hereof, or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment; nor shall it by act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant or as to whether any shares of Common Stock will, when issued, be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.
          (r) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall make all determinations with respect to Cashless Exercises, and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether the Company determination regarding the number of Shares to be issued in the event of a Cashless Exercise is accurate or correct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Warrant Agent shall also have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether any determination of the Exercise Amount under Section 8 is correct or accurate.
          (s) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Warrant Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights, except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein.
          (t) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 18 shall relieve the Warrant Agent from any liability arising from the Warrant Agent’s transfer of any Warrant without obtaining confirmation from the Company as described in Section 6 hereof.
          (u) All rights and obligations contained in this Section 18 and Section 19 hereof shall survive the termination of this Warrant Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Warrant Agent.
     SECTION 19 Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Warrant Agreement will be borne by the Company, including, without limitation: (i) all expenses of printing Global Warrant Certificates; (ii) messenger and delivery services and telephone calls; (iii) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; (iv) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants or knowledgeable experts selected by the Company; and (v) the Company’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties).
     SECTION 20 Change of Warrant Agent.
          (a) If the Company terminates the Warrant Agent or the Warrant Agent shall become incapable of acting as Warrant Agent or shall resign as provided below, the Company shall appoint a successor to such Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has terminated the Warrant Agent or it has been notified in writing of a resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent, then any holder of a Warrant may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent. Pending appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by

16


 

the Company. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a bank or trust company, in good standing, incorporated under the laws of any state or of the United States of America. As soon as practicable after appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall cause written notice of the change in the Warrant Agent to be given to each of the holders of the Warrants at such holder’s address appearing on the Warrant Register. After appointment, the successor to the Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed. The former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor to the Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 20, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent.
          (b) The Warrant Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from the obligations hereby created by so notifying the Company in writing at least 30 days in advance of the proposed effective date of its resignation. If no successor Warrant Agent accepts the engagement hereunder by such time, the Company shall act as Warrant Agent.
     SECTION 21 Notices to the Company and Warrant Agent. Any notice or demand authorized or permitted by this Warrant Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or by any holder of the Warrants to or on the Company to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile), and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or two (2) business days after being delivered to a recognized courier (whose stated terms of delivery are two (2) business days or less to the destination of such notice), or five (5) days after being deposited in the mail, first class and postage prepaid or, in the case of facsimile notice, when received, addressed as follows (until another address or facsimile number is filed in writing by the Company with the Warrant Agent):

The Company and the Warrant Agent may from time to time supplement or amend this Warrant Agreement (a) without the approval of any holders of Warrants in order to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising hereunder that the Company may deem necessary or desirable and that shall not adversely affect the rights or interests of the holders of Warrants or (b) with the prior written consent of holders of the Warrants exercisable for a majority of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding; provided, however, that the consent of each holder of a Warrant affected shall be required for any amendment of this Warrant Agreement that would (i) increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, except that such consent shall not be required for any adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable if made pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 hereof, (ii) alter the Company’s obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of the underlying Warrant (other than pursuant to adjustments otherwise provided for in this Agreement, including the adjustments provided for in Section 12 hereof), (iii) change the Expiration Date of the Warrants to an earlier date, (iv) waive the application of the adjustment provisions contained in Section 12 in connection with any events to which such provisions apply or otherwise modify the adjustment provisions contained in Section 12 in a manner that would have an adverse economic impact on the holders of Warrants, or (v) treat such holder differently in an adverse way from any other holder of Warrants. The Warrant Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any amendment or supplement which affects the rights or increases the duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent.

FORM OF REVERSE OF GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE
     The Warrant evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate is a part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants to purchase up to                      shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the registered holders of the Warrants. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Warrant Agreement.
     Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of the Warrant and surrender of this Global Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent designated for such purpose, a new Global Warrant Certificate or Global Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee in exchange for this Global Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations set forth in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any applicable tax or other charge.
     Subject to Section 14 of the Warrant Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock.
     No Warrants may be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred in violation of the Securities Act state securities laws or other applicable law. The Warrant does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.
     The Company and Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Global Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent) for the purpose of any exercise hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
     This Global Warrant Certificate is held by The Depository Trust Company (the “Depository”) or its nominee in custody for the benefit of the beneficial owners hereof, and is not transferable to any Person under any circumstances except that (i) this Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred in whole pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Warrant Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) this Global Warrant Certificate may be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation pursuant to Sections 6(g) and 8(n) of the Warrant Agreement.
     Unless this Global Warrant Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of the Depository to the Company or the Warrant Agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co., or such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any payment hereon is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any Person is wrongful because the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
     No registration or transfer of the securities issuable pursuant to the Warrant will be recorded on the books and records of the Company or the Warrant Agent until the provisions set forth in the Warrant Agreement have been complied with.
     In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Global Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreement shall control.
