Related to Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets by the Issuer; No Lease of All or Substantially All Assets

• Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01(c) of the Indenture, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not an Issuer or Guaranteeing Subsidiary is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

• Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from consolidating with, merging into, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to another entity which assumes all of the Company’s obligations and undertakings hereunder. Upon such a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets, the term “Company” as used herein shall mean such other entity, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

• Merger or Sale of Assets In the event that the Company shall effect (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other person in which those holding more than 50% of the voting power of the Company prior to the consolidation or merger no longer hold more than 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity, or (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to any other person, in such a way that the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities, evidences of indebtedness or other property with respect to or in exchange for their shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event and as a condition precedent to the consummation thereof, the Company or such other person as is formed by or survives such consolidation or merger or acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Holder, without payment of any additional consideration therefor, a new Warrant (in form and substance approved by the Holder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) providing that the Holder shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Warrant shall remain outstanding, to exercise such Warrant into the kind and amount of cash, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other property as the Holder would have received had the Holder been the record owner, at the time of such consolidation, merger, sale or disposition, of that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in full immediately prior to the consummation of such consolidation, merger, sale or disposition. If the holders of the Common Stock may elect from choices the kind and/or amount of cash, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or disposition, then, for purposes of this Section 3(d), the kind and amount of cash, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other property receivable by the Holder upon exercise of such new Warrant shall be specified by the Holder, which specification shall be made by the Holder by the later of (I) ten (10) business days after the Holder is provided with a final version of all material information concerning such choice as is provided to the holders of Common Stock, or (II) the last time at which the holders of Common Stock are permitted to make their specifications known to the Company; provided, however, that if the Holder fails to make any specification within such time period, the Holder's choice shall be deemed to be whatever choice is made by a plurality of the holders of Common Stock not affiliated with the Company or, in the case of a consolidation, merger, sale or disposition, the other parties thereto. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that, for events subsequent to the effective date of such new Warrant, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers or asset acquisitions.

• Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets The Company shall not, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person; unless:

In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 11. For purposes of this Section 11, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 11. For purposes of this Section 11, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock.
