Accordingly, any such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such Global Warrant will be shown only on, and the Transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee or the applicable Participant, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any responsibility or liability with respect to such records maintained by the Depository or its nominee or the applicable Participant. 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 or Participants governing the exercise of the rights of a Beneficial Owner.

(e) Transfers hereunder shall be subject at all times to Section 2.06 hereof.

Section 2.04 Form of Warrant Certificates. Each of the Warrant Certificates shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and shall have such insertions and legends as are appropriate or required by this Warrant Agreement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends and endorsements, stamped, printed, lithographed or engraved thereon, as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, such as may be required to comply with this Warrant Agreement, any Law or any rule of any securities exchange on which Warrants may be listed, and such as may be necessary to conform to customary usage. Each Global Warrant Certificate shall bear the global certificate legend, as set forth in Exhibit A, and shall include a Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Warrants as Schedule A thereto.

Section 2.05 Cancellation of the Warrants. Any Warrant Certificate shall be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent upon the earlier of (i) the mutilation of the Warrant Certificate as described in Section 5.02, or (ii) registration of Transfer or exercise of such Warrants (or, in the case of a Global Warrant, all Warrants represented thereby) and, except as provided in this Article 2 in case of a Transfer or Section 5.02 in case of mutilation, no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder in lieu thereof.

Section 2.06 Limitations on Transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant Agreement, the Warrants, and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, have not been registered under the Securities Act and, accordingly, may not be resold or otherwise transferred within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), except as set forth in the following sentence. The Beneficial Owners may not sell or transfer any Warrants in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. By accepting a Warrant (whether at initial issuance or pursuant to a Transfer thereof), the recipient thereof agrees (A) that, prior to the expiration of the applicable holding period pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, it will not resell or otherwise transfer such Warrants except (1) to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof or (2) in accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the

Securities Act (and based upon an opinion of counsel if the Company or the Warrant Agent so requests), in reliance with Rule 144A or Regulation S and (B) to inform the Beneficial Owner of the limitations on Transfer set forth in this Section 2.06, and shall instruct and direct such Beneficial Owner to conform to the restrictions set forth herein and shall maintain any applicable legends in its books and records. The Common Shares issuable in connection with the exercise of a Warrant shall be issued in accordance with Section 3.05(b) hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any duty or responsibility to ensure compliance by the Company, the Global Warrant Holder, any Beneficial Owner or any other Person with any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws.

(b) If Full Physical Settlement applies to the exercise of a Warrant, upon the proper and valid exercise thereof by a Beneficial Owner, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the exercising Beneficial Owner the Full Physical Settlement Amount on the Settlement Date, with any fractional Common Share rounded down to the nearest whole share as provided in Section 3.06.

(c) If Net Share Settlement applies to the exercise of a Warrant, upon the proper and valid exercise thereof by a Beneficial Owner or the Company, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Beneficial Owner the Net Share Amount on the Settlement Date, with any fractional Common Share rounded down to the nearest whole share as provided in Section 3.06.

(d) If there is a dispute as to the determination of the applicable Exercise Price or the calculation of the number of shares of Common Shares to be delivered to an exercising Beneficial Owner, the Company shall cause to be promptly delivered to the exercising Beneficial Owner the number of Common Shares that is not in dispute.

Section 3.05 Delivery of Common Shares.

(a) In connection with the exercise of Warrants by a Beneficial Owner, the Warrant Agent shall:

(1) examine all Exercise Notices and all other documents delivered to it to ascertain whether, on their face, such Exercise Notices and any such other documents have been executed and completed in accordance with their terms;

(2) where an 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, 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;

(3) inform the Company of and cooperate with and assist the Company in resolving any reconciliation problems between the Exercise Notices received and delivery of Warrants to the Warrant Agent’s account;

(4) advise the Company with respect to an exercise, no later than two Business Days following the satisfaction of each of the applicable procedures for exercise set forth in Section 3.02(a), of (v) the receipt of such Exercise Notice and the number of Warrants exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant Agreement, (w) the number of Common Shares to be delivered by the Company; (x) the instructions with respect to issuance of the Common Shares, subject to the timely receipt from the Depository of the necessary information, (y) the number of Persons who will become holders of record of the Company (who were not previously holders of record) as a result of receiving Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and (z) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require;

(5) promptly deposit in the Funds Account all Funds received in payment of the applicable Exercise Price in connection with Full Physical Settlement of Warrants;

(6) promptly cancel and destroy the applicable Global Warrant Certificate if all Warrants represented thereby have been exercised in full and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company, unless the Company shall otherwise direct in writing;

(7) if all Warrants represented by a Global Warrant Certificate shall not have been exercised in full, note and authenticate such decrease in the Number of Warrants on Schedule A of such Global Warrant Certificate; and

(8) provide to the Company, upon the Company’s request, the number of Warrants previously exercised, the number of Common Shares issued in connection with such exercises and the number of remaining outstanding Warrants.

(b) In connection with the mandatory exercise of Warrants by the Company, the Warrant Agent shall:

(1) advise the Company of (w) the number of Common Shares to be delivered by the Company; (x) the instructions with respect to issuance of the Common Shares, subject to the timely receipt from the Depository of the necessary information, (y) the number of Persons who will become holders of record of the Company (who were not previously holders of record) as a result of receiving Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and (z) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require; and

(2) promptly cancel and destroy the applicable Global Warrant Certificate and, if applicable, deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company.

(c) If a registration statement covering the resale of the Common Shares issuable in connection with the exercise of a Warrant and naming the Beneficial Owner as a selling stockholder thereunder is not effective or the Common Shares issued in connection with such exercise are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(b) under the Securities Act, with respect to each properly exercised Warrant in accordance with this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall, in accordance with such Exercise Notice, effect an electronic delivery of the Common Shares with appropriate restrictive legends issuable in connection with such exercise to the Beneficial Owner’s account (or the account of a Participant for the benefit of such Beneficial Owner) at the Depository. If a registration statement covering the resale of the Common Shares the Common Shares issuable in connection with the exercise of a Warrant and naming the Beneficial Owner as a selling stockholder thereunder is effective or the Common Shares issued in connection with such exercise are freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(b) under the Securities Act, with respect to each properly exercised Warrant in accordance with this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall, in accordance with such Exercise Notice, effect an electronic delivery of the Common Shares free of restrictive legends issuable in connection with such exercise to the Beneficial Owner’s account (or the account of a Participant for the benefit of such Beneficial Owner) at the Depository. The Person on whose behalf and in whose name any Common Shares are registered shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Common Shares as of the Close of Business on the applicable Exercise Date.

(d) If a registration statement covering a resale of Common Shares issued in connection with properly exercised Warrants is not effective and the Beneficial Owner directs the Company to deliver the Common Shares issued in connection with such exercise in a name other than that of the Beneficial Owner or an Affiliate of the Beneficial Owner, such Beneficial Owner shall deliver to the Company on the Exercise Date an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the issuance of such Common Shares in such other name may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

(e) Promptly after the Warrant Agent shall have taken the action required by this Section 3.05 (or at such later time as may be mutually agreeable to the Company and the Warrant Agent), the Warrant Agent shall account to the Company with respect to the consummation of any exercise of any Warrants.

Section 3.06 No Fractional Common Shares to Be Issued.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a Common Share upon exercise of any Warrants.

(b) If any fraction of a Common Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.06, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants, the Company shall instead round down to the nearest whole share the number of Common Shares that such Person designated in the applicable Exercise Notice shall receive. All Warrants exercised by a Beneficial Owner on the same Exercise Date shall be aggregated for purposes of determining the number of Common Shares to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.05(b).

(c) Each Beneficial Owner, by its acceptance of an interest in a Warrant, expressly waives its right to any fraction of a Common Share upon its exercise of such Warrant.

Section 3.07 Acquisition of Warrants by Company. The Company shall have the right, except as limited by Law, to purchase or otherwise to acquire one or more Warrants at such times, in such manner and for such consideration as it may deem appropriate.

Section 3.08 Validity of Exercise. All questions as to the validity, form and sufficiency (including time of receipt) of a Warrant exercise shall be determined by the Company, which determination shall be final and binding with respect to the Warrant Agent. 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 (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), 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 absolute right to waive any of the conditions to the exercise of Warrants or defects in Exercise Notices with regard to any particular exercise of Warrants.

Section 3.09 Certain Calculations.

(a) The Warrant Agent shall be responsible for performing all calculations, save for in the case of Net Share Settlements, required in connection with the exercise and settlement of the Warrants as described in this Article 3. In connection therewith, the Warrant Agent shall provide prompt written notice to the Company, in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(4), of the number of Common Shares deliverable upon exercise and settlement of Warrants. For the avoidance of doubt, the Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for performing the calculations set forth in Article 4.

(b) The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value of any Common Shares or Units of Reference Property that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant, and it makes no representation with respect thereto. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible, to the extent not arising from the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any Common Shares or Units of Reference Property, or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article 3.

Section 3.10 Limitation on Exercise.

(a) Except in the context of a Change in Control, a Beneficial Owner of a Warrant that owns less than 10% of the shares of the Company’s Common Shares outstanding and is not otherwise an Affiliate of the Company will not have the right to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant shall not be exercisable by the Company, for so long as the Common Shares are registered under the Exchange Act, if and to the extent that after giving effect to such

exercise, such Person (together with such Person’s Affiliates) or any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) that includes such person would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Restricted Ownership Percentage”) of the shares of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Conversion Blocker”); provided, that the Conversion Blocker shall continue to apply to Blue Mountain Capital Management, LLC and its affiliates (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Company and its other affiliates) that are Holders at any time when Blue Mountain Capital Management, LLC and its affiliates are Affiliates of the Company. Each Beneficial Owner shall have the right at any time and from time to time to reduce the Restricted Ownership Percentage applicable to such Beneficial Owner immediately upon prior written notice to the Company or increase the Restricted Ownership Percentage applicable to such holder upon 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, prior to, or in the absence of, the receipt of Shareholder Approval, the number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Warrants for any reason shall not be greater than 19.99% of the then-outstanding Common Shares so that the Company may remain in compliance with the listing requirements of the stock exchange on which its Common Shares are then listed. Upon receipt of Shareholder Approval, the number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Warrants for any reason shall not be limited.

Article 4

Adjustments

Section 4.01 Adjustments to Number of Common Shares. After the date on which the Warrants are first issued and while any Warrants remain outstanding and unexpired, the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be subject to adjustment (without duplication) upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) The issuance of Common Shares as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Shares, or a subdivision, combination, split, reverse split or reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares into a greater or smaller number of Common Shares, in which event the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where:


E₁		=		the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in effect immediately after (i) the Open of Business on the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the consummation of the transaction in the case of a subdivision, combination, split, reverse split or reclassification;


E₀	=	the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in effect immediately prior to (i) the Open of Business on the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the consummation of the transaction in the case of a subdivision, combination, split, reverse split or reclassification;

N₀	=	the number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to (i) the Open of Business on the Record Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the consummation of the transaction in the case of a subdivision, combination, split, reverse split or reclassification; and

N₁	=	the number of Common Shares equal to (i) in the case of a dividend or distribution, the sum of the number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total number of Common Shares issued pursuant to such dividend or distribution or (ii) in the case of a subdivision, combination, split, reverse split or reclassification, the number of Common Shares Deemed Outstanding immediately after such subdivision, combination, split, reverse split or reclassification.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after (i) the Open of Business on the Ex-Date in the case of a dividend or distribution or (ii) the consummation of the transaction in the case of a subdivision, combination, split, reverse split or reclassification. If any dividend or distribution or subdivision, combination, split, reverse split or reclassification of the type described in this Section 4.01(a) is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall again be adjusted to the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution or subdivision, combination, split, reverse split or reclassification had not been declared or announced, as the case may be.

(b) Reserved.

(c) The issuance as a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Shares of evidences of indebtedness, Securities of the Company or any other Person (other than Common Shares), Cash rights, options or warrants entitling such holders of Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than the market value thereof, preferred stock, common stock of or related to a subsidiary or other business unit or other property (excluding (i) any dividend or distribution covered by Section 4.01(a), (ii) any rights, options or warrants covered by Section 4.03, (iii) any consideration payable in connection with Section 4.01(d), or (iv) any dividend of preferred stock, or common stock of or related to a subsidiary or other business unit in the case of transactions described in Section 4.07, in which event the Exercise Price will be adjusted in the reasonable discretion of the Board to appropriately ensure that the economic and other benefits of the Warrants are preserved and protected after taking into account the transaction that triggers this Section 4.01(c). Such actions may include the distribution of rights, options, warrants or other consideration or property to holders of Warrants on an as-exercised basis.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is declared or announced but not so paid or made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared or announced.

(d) The payment in respect of any tender offer or exchange offer by the Company for Common Shares, where the cash and Fair Value of any other consideration included in the payment per Common Share exceeds the Fair Value of a Common Share as of the open of business on the second business day preceding the expiration date of the tender or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”), in which event the Exercise Price will be adjusted in the reasonable discretion of the Board to appropriately ensure that the economic and other benefits of the Warrants are preserved and protected after taking into account the transaction that triggers this Section 4.01(d). Such actions may include the distribution of rights, options, warrants or other consideration or property to holders of Warrants on an as-exercised basis.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Offer Expiration Date. In the event that the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is obligated to purchase Common Shares pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable Law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if the application of this clause (d) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in an increase in the Exercise Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this clause (d).

(e) If any single action would require adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to more than one subsection of this Section 4.01, 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 registered holders of the Warrants then outstanding, absolute value. For the purpose of calculations pursuant to Section 4.01, the number of Common Shares outstanding shall be equal to the sum of (i) the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding and (ii) the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the conversion or exercise of Convertible Securities that are outstanding, in each case on the applicable date of determination.

(f) The Company may from time to time, to the extent permitted by Law, decrease the Exercise Price and/or increase the Number of Warrants by any amount for any period of at least twenty days. In that case, the Company shall give the Global Warrant Holder and the Warrant Agent at least ten days’ prior written notice of such increase or decrease, and such notice shall state the applicable decreased Exercise Price and/or increased Number of Warrants and the period during which the decrease and/or increase will be in effect. The Company may make such decreases in the Exercise Price and/or increases in the Number of Warrants, in addition to those set forth in this Article 4, as the Board deems advisable, including to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Shares resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(g) Notwithstanding this Section 4.01 or any other provision of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants, if an Exercise Price adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Date, and a Warrant has been exercised on or after such Ex-Date and on or prior to the related Record Date resulting in the Person issued Common Shares being treated as the record holder of the Common Shares on or prior to the Record Date, then, notwithstanding the Exercise Price adjustment provisions in this Section 4.01, the Exercise Price adjustment relating to such Ex-Date will not be made with respect to such Warrant. Instead, such Person will be treated as if it were the record owner of Common Shares on an un-adjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment. Notwithstanding this Section 4.01 or any other provision of this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants, the Exercise Price shall never be less than the par value of the Common Shares.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.01, if, as a result of an adjustment pursuant to Section 4.01, the par value per Common Share would be greater than the Exercise Price, then the Exercise Price shall be an amount equal to the par value per Common Share but the number of shares the holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to purchase shall be such greater number of Common Shares as would have resulted from the Exercise Price that, absent such limitation, would have been in effect pursuant to this Section 4.

Section 4.02 Adjustments to Number of Warrants. Concurrently with any adjustment to the Exercise Price under Section 4.01 (except for any adjustment pursuant to Section 4.01(a)), the Number of Warrants will be adjusted such that the Number of Warrants in effect immediately following the effectiveness of such adjustment will be equal to the Number of Warrants in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the applicable Exercise Price in effect immediately following such adjustment. The Company may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, increase the number of shares of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant for a period of not less than 20 Trading Days. After the expiration of such period, the number of shares of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant shall revert to the number of such shares issuable upon exercise as of immediately prior to such period.

Section 4.03 Certain Distributions of Rights and Warrants.

(a) Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Shares entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase the Company’s Securities (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”):

(1) are deemed to be transferred with such Common Shares;

(2) are not exercisable; and

(3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Shares,

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of Article 4 (and no adjustment to the Exercise Price or the Number of Warrants under this Article 4 will be made) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Exercise Price and the Number of Warrants shall be made under this Article 4 (subject in all respects to Section 4.04).

(b) If any such right or warrant is subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (subject in all respects to Section 4.04).

(c) In addition, except as set forth in Section 4.04, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in Section 4.03(b)) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Exercise Price and the Number of Warrants under Article 4 was made (including any adjustment contemplated in Section 4.04):

(1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by the holders thereof, the Exercise Price and the Number of Warrants shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a distribution under Section 4.01(c), equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase; and

(2) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by the holders thereof, the Exercise Price and the Number of Warrants shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued or distributed.

Section 4.04 Stockholder Rights Plans. If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Shares, upon exercise of a Warrant the holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Common Shares, the rights under such stockholder rights plan, unless, prior to such exercise, such rights have separated from the Common Shares.

Section 4.05 Restrictions on Adjustments.

(a) Except in accordance with Section 4.01, the Exercise Price and the Number of Warrants will not be adjusted for the issuance of Common Shares or other Securities of the Company.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Exercise Price nor the Number of Warrants will be adjusted:

(1) upon the issuance of any Common Shares or other Securities or any payments pursuant to the Management Plan or any other equity incentive plan of the Company;

(2) upon any issuance of any Common Shares (or Convertible Securities) pursuant to the exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the Warrants, the Company’s Series A Warrants, the Company’s Series B Warrants, shares of Series A Preferred Stock or shares of Series B Preferred Stock;

(3) upon the issuance of Common Shares or other Securities of the Company in connection with a business acquisition transaction (except to the extent otherwise expressly required by this Warrant Agreement); or

(4) upon any dividend or distribution made by the Company in accordance with Section 5.07.

(c) No adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price or the Number of Warrants for any of the transactions described in Section 4.01 if the Company makes provisions for participation in any such transaction with respect to Warrants without exercise of such Warrants on the same basis as with respect to Common Shares with notice that the Board determines in good faith to be fair and appropriate.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement, prior to, or in the absence of, the receipt of Shareholder Approval, any adjustment to be made to the Exercise Price or the Number of Warrants that would result in the Common Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of all Warrants to be equal to 20% or greater of the then- outstanding Common Shares shall be limited to the extent necessary for such adjustment to result in Common Shares issued or issuable upon exercise of all Warrants representing no more than 19.99% of the then-outstanding Common Shares so that the Company may remain in compliance with the listing requirements of the stock exchange on which its Common Shares are then listed. Upon receipt of Shareholder Approval, the full adjustment to the Exercise Price or Number of Warrants shall be made.

(e) No adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price, nor will any corresponding adjustment be made to the Number of Warrants, unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustment of less than 1% that was not made by reason of this Section 4.05(e) shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with any other adjustments not previously made by reason of this Section 4.05(e), would result in a change of at least 1% in the aggregate. All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a Common Share, as the case may be.

(f) If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to members) legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment to the Exercise Price or the Number of Warrants then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

Section 4.06 Successor upon Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.

(a) The Company may consolidate or merge with another Person (a “Fundamental Equity Change”) only (i) if the Company is the surviving Person or (ii), if the Company is not the surviving Person, then:

(1) the successor to the Company assumes all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant Agreement and the Warrants, other than as provided in Section 4.07, shall become exercisable into the common stock or other common equity of the successor; and

(2) the successor to the Company provides written notice of such assumption to the Warrant Agent promptly following the Fundamental Equity Change.

(b) In the case of a Fundamental Equity Change, the successor Person to the Company shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company, and the Company shall thereupon be released from all obligations and covenants under this Warrant Agreement and the Warrants. Such successor Person shall provide in writing to the Warrant Agent with such identifying corporate information as may be reasonably requested by the Warrant Agent. Such successor Person thereafter may cause to be signed, and may issue any or all of, the Global Warrants issuable pursuant to this Warrant Agreement which theretofore shall not have been issued by the Company; and, upon the order of such successor Person, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver, as applicable, any Global Warrants that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Warrant Agent for authentication, and any Warrants which such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Warrant Agent for such purpose.

(c) If the Company desires to sell, lease, convey or otherwise transfer in one transaction or a series of related transactions all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (an “Asset Sale”), the Company may only consummate such Asset Sale if such Buyer agrees (i) to enter into a warrant agreement in form and substance substantially similar to this Warrant Agreement and (ii) to issue warrants for equity in such Buyer (or a Person to which all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries acquired in such Asset Sale are transferred or conveyed) to the Global Warrant Holder on terms (including economic) and conditions substantially similar to the Global Warrant (taking into account any Warrants that are exercised prior to the termination of this Agreement (taking into account the materiality of the transferred assets to the total assets and operations of the Affiliated Buyer, taken as a whole), for crediting to the accounts of the applicable Participants for the benefit of the Beneficial Owners pursuant to the procedures of the Depository.

Section 4.07 Adjustment upon Reorganization Event.

(a) If there occurs any Fundamental Equity Change or any recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation, reclassification, change in the outstanding Common Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination to which Section 4.01(a) applies),

statutory share exchange or other transaction (each such event a “Reorganization Event”), in each case as a result of which the Common Shares would be converted into, changed into or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including Cash or any combination thereof) (the “Reference Property”) while any Warrants remain outstanding and unexpired, then following the effective time of the Reorganization Event, the right to receive Common Shares upon exercise of a Warrant shall be changed to a right to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including Cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one Common Share would have owned or been entitled to receive in connection with such Reorganization Event (such kind and amount of Reference Property per Common Share, a “Unit of Reference Property”). In the event holders of Common Shares have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in a Reorganization Event, the type and amount of consideration into which the Warrants shall be exercisable from and after the effective time of such Reorganization Event shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Shares in such Reorganization Event. The Company hereby agrees not to become a party to any Reorganization Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 4.07.

(b) At any time from, and including, the effective time of a Reorganization Event:

(1) each Warrant shall be exercisable for a single Unit of Reference Property instead of one Common Share; and

(2) the Fair Value shall be calculated with respect to a Unit of Reference Property.

(c) On or prior to the effective time of any Reorganization Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute an amendment to this Warrant Agreement providing that the Warrants shall be exercisable for Units of Reference Property in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.07. If the Reference Property in connection with any Reorganization Event includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Reorganization Event, then the Company shall cause such amendment to this Warrant Agreement to be executed by such other Person and such amendment shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Global Warrant Holder (for the benefit of the Beneficial Owners) as the Board shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. Any such amendment to this Warrant Agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4. In the event the Company shall execute an amendment to this Warrant Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.07, the Company shall promptly file with the Warrant Agent an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of Cash, securities or property or assets that will comprise a Unit of Reference Property after the relevant Reorganization Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of the amendment to be mailed to the Global Warrant Holder within 20 Business Days after execution thereof.

(d) The above provisions of this Section 4.07 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.

(e) If this Section 4.07 applies to any event or occurrence, no other provision of this Article 4 shall apply to such event or occurrence (other than Section 4.06).

Section 4.08 Reserved.

Section 4.09 Common Shares Outstanding; Common Shares Reserved for Issuance on Exercise.

(a) For the purposes of this Article 4, the number of Common Shares at any time outstanding shall not include Common Shares held, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) The Board has authorized and reserved for issuance such number of Common Shares as will be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants for Common Shares. The Company covenants that all Common Shares that shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(c) The Company agrees to authorize and direct its current and future transfer agents for the Common Shares to reserve for issuance the number of Common Shares specified in this Section 4.09 and shall take all action required to increase the authorized number of Common Shares if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized but unissued Common Shares to permit such reservation or to permit the exercise of a Warrant.

Section 4.10 Calculations; Instructions to Warrant Agent.

(a) Subject to Section 4.10(b), the Company shall be responsible for making all calculations called for under this Article 4 for purposes of determining any adjustments to the Exercise Price and the Number of Warrants, including determinations as to Fair Value and the composition of Units of Reference Property. Such calculations and determinations shall be final and binding on the Global Warrant Holder and all Beneficial Owners absent manifest error. The Company shall provide a schedule of the Company’s calculations and determinations to the Warrant Agent, and the Warrant Agent is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification.

(b) In the event the Board engages a Representative to advise it with respect to the determination of Fair Value, the Board shall be entitled to rely upon the determination of such Representation. The Company shall pay the fees and expenses of any Representative.

Section 4.11 Notice of Adjustments. The Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, via first-class mail, postage prepaid, (or otherwise transmit in accordance with applicable procedures of the Depository) to the Global Warrant Holder and the Warrant Agent, in accordance with Section 7.15, a notice of any adjustment or readjustment to the Exercise Price or the Number of Warrants no less than three Business Days prior to the effective date of such adjustment or readjustment. The Company shall file with the Warrant Agent such notice and an Officer’s Certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and kind and amount of

securities, Cash or other property for which a Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable and the applicable Exercise Price, showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Officer’s Certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment or readjustment is correct, and the Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of any adjustments or readjustments unless and until it has received such Officer’s Certificate. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such Officer’s Certificate except to exhibit the same to the Global Warrant Holder.

Section 4.12 Warrant Agent Not Responsible for Adjustments or Validity. The Warrant Agent shall at no time be under any duty or responsibility to determine whether any facts exist that may require an adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price and the Number of Warrants, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment or readjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, herein or in any supplemental agreement provided to be employed, in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty to verify or confirm any calculation called for hereunder. The Warrant Agent shall have no liability for any failure or delay in performing its duties hereunder caused by any failure or delay of the Company in providing such calculations to the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares or of any Securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or upon any adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Article 4, and it makes no representation with respect thereto. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any Cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any Common Shares or stock certificates or other securities or property or scrip upon the surrender of any Warrant for the purpose of exercise or upon any adjustment pursuant to this Article 4, or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article 4. The Warrant Agent shall have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein or in any notice from the Company. The Warrant Agent may rely conclusively, and shall be protected in acting, upon any notice, instruction, request, order, judgment, certification, opinion or advice of counsel, statement, demand or other instrument or document, not only as to its due execution, validity (including the authority of the person signing or presenting the same) and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which the Warrant Agent shall believe to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same.

Section 4.13 Statements on Warrants. Other than notation of any applicable increase or decrease in the Number of Warrants on Schedule A of each Global Warrant Certificate, the form of each Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment or readjustment made pursuant to this Article 4, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment or readjustment may state the same information (other than the applicable adjusted Exercise Price and the adjusted Number of Warrants) as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement.

Section 4.14 Effect of Adjustment. The Depository and applicable Participants shall effect any applicable adjustments, changes or payments to the Beneficial Owners with respect to beneficial interests in the Global Warrants resulting from any adjustments or readjustments, changes or payments effected pursuant to this Article 4 in accordance with the procedures of the Depository and the applicable Participants.

Article 5

Other Provisions Relating to the Rights of Warrant Holders

Section 5.01 No Rights as Stockholders. Except as expressly provided for herein (including, without limitation, Section 5.07), nothing contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate shall be construed as conferring upon any Person, by virtue of holding or having a warrant or a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant, the right to vote, to consent, to receive any Cash dividends, stock dividends, allotments or rights or other distributions paid, allotted or distributed or distributable to the holders of Common Shares, or to exercise any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company unless, until and only to the extent such Persons become holders of record of Common Shares issued upon settlement of Warrants.

Section 5.02 Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. If any Warrant Certificate at any time is mutilated, defaced, lost, destroyed or stolen, then on the terms set forth in this Warrant Agreement, such Warrant Certificate may be replaced with a new Warrant Certificate, of like date and tenor and representing the same number of Warrants, at the cost of the Company at the office of the Warrant Agent subject to the replacement procedures of the Warrant Agent which shall include obtaining an open penalty surety bond satisfactory to the Warrant Agent holding the Company and the Warrant Agent harmless. Any such new Warrant Certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. All Warrant Certificates shall be issued upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the substitution for lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificates, and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any Law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the substitution for and replacement of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 5.03 Modification, Waiver and Meetings.

(a) This Warrant Agreement may be modified or amended by the Company and the Warrant Agent, without the consent of the Warrant Holders, any Beneficial Owner of any Global Warrant, or any applicable Participant with respect to any Global Warrant, for the purposes of curing any ambiguity or correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in this Warrant Agreement or to make any other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising in this Warrant Agreement which the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable; provided that such modification or amendment does not adversely affect the interests of the Warrant Holder or the Beneficial Owners in any material respect. As a condition precedent to the Warrant Agent’s execution of any amendment, the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a certificate from an Appropriate Officer that states that the proposed amendment is in compliance with the terms of this Section 5.03.

(b) Modifications and amendments to this Warrant Agreement or to the terms and conditions of Warrants not contemplated by Section 3.05(a)(7) or Section 5.03(a) may also be made by the Company and the Warrant Agent, and noncompliance with any provision of the Warrant Agreement or Warrants may be waived, by the Warrant Holders (pursuant to a proper vote or consent of a majority of the Warrants at the time outstanding).

(1) the Warrant Holders (pursuant to a proper vote or consent of each Warrant):

(A) increase the Exercise Price or decrease the Number of Warrants (except as set forth in Article 4);

(2) the Warrant Holders (pursuant to a proper vote or consent of 66.66% of the Warrants affected):

(A) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment or delivery with respect to the exercise and settlement of any Warrant;

(C) reduce the percentage of Warrants outstanding necessary to modify or amend this Warrant Agreement or to waive any past default; or

(D) reduce the percentage in Warrants outstanding required for any other waiver under this Warrant Agreement.

Section 5.04 Notices of Date, etc. In the event of any Change of Control, then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Warrant Holder, at least 15 days prior to the effective date, a notice specifying the effective date on which such Change of Control is or is expected to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Shares (or such other stock or Securities at the time deliverable upon the exercise of a Warrant) shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares (or such other stock or Securities) for Securities or other property deliverable upon such Change of Control.

Section 5.05 Rights as Warrant Holders. Upon exercise of a Warrant, any Beneficial Owner who receives Common Shares in excess of 2.5% of the then outstanding Common Shares will be entitled to execute a joinder to the Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 5.06 Tax Consequences. All Persons holding or having a Warrant or a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant are responsible for obtaining their own tax advice regarding the tax consequences of such interest. The Company has given no tax advice regarding the Warrants.

Section 5.07 Dividends. Each Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, in kind or other property, that would be distributed to such Beneficial Owner if such Beneficial Owner’s Warrants had been converted in full into Common Shares immediately prior to the Close of Business on the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such dividend.

Article 6

Section 6.01 Representations. The Company makes the following representations to the Transfer Agent:

(a) the issuance of the Warrants will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and all other applicable requirements of applicable U.S. and non-U.S. federal, state and local law, including, without limitation, any applicable regulations of the SEC and any other U.S. and non-U.S. regulatory or governmental authority;

(f) none of the Company, any of its affiliates or any person acting on behalf of the Company has, with respect to Warrants issued outside the United States, offered the Warrants to buyers qualifying as “U.S. persons” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) or engaged in any directed selling efforts within the meaning of Rule 902 under the Securities Act; and

(g) neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates has entered or will enter into any arrangement or agreement with respect to the distribution of the Warrants except for this Agreement.

As used in clause (d) above, the terms “offer” and “sale” have the meanings specified in Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

Article 7

Concerning the Warrant Agent and Other Matters

Section 7.01 Payment of Certain Taxes.

(a) The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable upon the initial issuance of the Warrants hereunder and delivery to the Warrant Holders.

(b) The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable upon the issuance of Common Shares upon the exercise of Warrants hereunder.

Section 7.02 Reserved.

Section 7.03 Change of Warrant Agent.

(a) The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder (except for liability arising as a result of the Warrant Agent’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) after giving sixty days’ notice in writing to the Company, except that such shorter notice may be given as the Company shall, in writing, accept as sufficient. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor warrant agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated warrant agent or by any Warrant Holder, then the Warrant Holders (pursuant to a proper vote or consent of 50.00% of the Warrants) may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor warrant agent.

(b) The Warrant Agent may be removed by the Company at any time upon sixty days’ written notice to the Warrant Agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not remove the Warrant Agent until a successor warrant agent meeting the qualifications hereof shall have been appointed; provided, further, that, until such successor warrant agent has been appointed, the Company shall compensate the Warrant Agent in accordance with Section 7.04.

(c) Any successor warrant agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a corporation or banking association organized, in good standing and doing business under the Laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and authorized under such Laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000. The combined capital and surplus of any such successor warrant agent shall be deemed to be the combined capital and surplus as set forth in the most recent report of its condition published prior to its appointment; provided that such reports are

published at least annually pursuant to Law or to the requirements of a federal or state supervising or examining authority. After acceptance in writing of such appointment by the successor warrant agent, such successor warrant agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor warrant agent with like effect as if originally named as warrant agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor warrant agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor warrant agent all the authority, powers and rights of such predecessor warrant agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor warrant agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing to more fully and effectually vest in and conform to such successor warrant agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations. Upon assumption by a successor warrant agent of the duties and responsibilities hereunder, the predecessor warrant agent shall deliver and transfer, at the expense of the Company, to the successor warrant agent any property at the time held by it hereunder. As soon as practicable after such appointment, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor warrant agent, each Warrant Holder and each transfer agent for its Common Shares. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the appointment of the successor warrant agent.

(d) Any entity into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation 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 warrant agent under this Warrant Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such entity would be eligible for appointment as a successor warrant agent under Section 7.03(c). In case at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Warrant Agreement, any Warrant Certificate shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrant Certificate so countersigned, and in case at that time any Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificate either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificate shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificate and in this Warrant Agreement.

(e) In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any Global Warrant Certificate shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignatures under its prior name and deliver such Warrant Certificate so countersigned; and in case at that time any Warrant Certificate shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificate either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificate shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificate and in this Warrant Agreement.

Section 7.04 Compensation; Further Assurances. The Company agrees that it will (a) pay the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation for its services as Warrant Agent in accordance with Exhibit C attached hereto and, except as otherwise expressly provided, will pay or reimburse the Warrant Agent upon written demand for all reasonable and documented

expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Warrant Agent in accordance with any of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel incurred in connection with the execution and administration of this Agreement), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its or any of their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, and (b) perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement.

Section 7.05 Reliance on Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the written opinion of such counsel or any advice of legal counsel subsequently confirmed by a written opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such written opinion or advice.

Section 7.06 Proof of Actions Taken. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Warrant Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such Officer’s Certificate shall, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, be full warrant to the Warrant Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted in good faith by it under the provisions of this Warrant Agreement in reliance upon such Officer’s Certificate; but in its discretion the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof accept other evidence of such fact or matter or may require such further or additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable.

Section 7.07 Correctness of Statements. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Warrant Agreement or any Warrant Certificate (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, and all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only.

Section 7.08 Validity of Agreement. From time to time, the Warrant Agent may apply to any Appropriate Officer for instruction and the Company shall provide the Warrant Agent with such instructions concerning the services to be provided hereunder. The Warrant Agent shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any Person, until receipt of notice thereof from the Company. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Warrant Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof or in respect of the validity or execution of any Warrant Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Warrant Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Common Shares to be issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement or any Warrants or as to whether any Common Shares will, when issued, be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Warrant Agent and its agents and subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by the Company for any action taken or omitted by Warrant Agent in reliance upon any Company instructions except to the extent that the Warrant Agent had actual knowledge of facts and circumstances that would render such reliance unreasonable.

Section 7.09 Use of Agents. 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 or agents provided that the Warrant Agent shall remain responsible for the activities or omissions of any such agent or attorney and reasonable care has been exercised in the selection and in the continued employment of such attorney or agent.

Section 7.10 Liability of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Global Warrant Holder for any action taken or not taken (i) in reliance on any 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 or (ii) in relation to its services under this Warrant Agreement, unless such liability arises out of or is attributable to the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution Warrant Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith for which the Warrant Agent is not entitled to indemnification under this Warrant Agreement. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect, punitive, special or incidental damages under any provisions of this Agreement or for any consequential, indirect, punitive, special or incidental damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder even if that party has been advised of or has foreseen the possibility of such damages.

Section 7.11 Legal Proceedings. 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, the applicable Warrant Holder(s) or any applicable Participant on behalf of a Beneficial Owner shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable 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 the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Warrant Holders in writing of any claim made or action, suit or proceeding instituted against it arising out of or in connection with this Warrant Agreement.

Section 7.12 Actions as Agent. The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent and not in a ministerial or fiduciary capacity, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof. The duties and obligations of the Warrant Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Warrant Agreement, and the Warrant Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Warrant Agreement. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the Warrant Agreement against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything that it may do or refrain from doing in good faith in connection with this Warrant Agreement except for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

Section 7.13 Appointment and Acceptance of Agency. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the instructions set forth in this Warrant Agreement, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Warrant Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth or as the Company and the Warrant Agent may hereafter agree.

Section 7.14 Successors and Assigns. All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant Agreement by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Agent shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns hereunder. The Warrant Agent may assign this Agreement or any rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate thereof with the prior consent of the Company, provided that the Warrant Agent may make such an assignment without consent of the Company to any successor to the Warrant Agent by consolidation, merger or transfer of its assets subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
