5. Notices of Certain Events. In case the Company shall:
(i) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other
stock or securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this
Warrant) for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or
other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any
other right, or
(ii) give effect to or be subject to any capital reorganization
of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the
Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into
another corporation (in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation), or any conveyance of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company to another corporation or other entity, or
(iii) give effect to or approve any voluntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, and in each such case, the Company will cause notice thereof to be
provided to the holder of this Warrant, such notice to specify, as the case may
be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such
dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which
the holders of record of Common Stock (or such stock or securities at the time

their shares of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities) for securities
or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and a
description in reasonable detail of the transaction. Such notice shall be
provided not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date therein specified.
6. Adjustments of Number of Shares.
6.1. Adjustment upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common
Stock.
(a) If the Company, at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof until the Public Offering Date, shall issue or sell Additional
Shares of Common Stock, including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be
issued pursuant to Section 6.3 or 6.4, without consideration or for a
consideration per share less than the greater of the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock or the Exercise Price in effect, in each case immediately prior to
such issuance or sale, then, and in each such case, subject to Section 6.7, the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be
increased, concurrently with such issuance or sale, to a number (calculated to
the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the number of shares for
which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior thereto, by a fraction, of
which:
-5-
(x) the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis immediately prior to
such issuance or sale plus (B) the number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock issued or deemed issued in the issuance or sale pursuant
to Section 6.3 or Section 6.4; and
(y) the denominator shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis immediately prior
to such issuance or sale plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock
that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total
number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would
purchase at the Fair Market Value on a Fully Diluted Basis then in
effect;
and for purposes of this Section 6.1(a), immediately after any Additional Shares
of Common Stock shall be deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 6.3. or 6.4,
such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding.
6.2. Dividends and other Distributions. If the Company at any
time or from time to time after the date hereof shall declare, order, pay or set
apart any sum or property for or make a dividend or other distribution
(including, without limitation, any distribution of other or additional stock or
other securities or property or options by way of dividend or spin-off,
reclassification, recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement) on Common
Stock, other than a dividend payable in Additional Shares of Common Stock (in
which case the provisions of Section 6.1(a) and Section 6.4 shall apply) then,
and in each such case, subject to Section 6.7, at the option of the holder
hereof, which may be exercised at the time of such dividend or other
distribution upon written notice to the Company within ten (10) business days
after receipt from the Company of notice under Section 9 (provided that if such
notice is not given the holder shall be deemed to have exercised the option set
forth in paragraph (ii) below), either:
(i) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to
this Warrant shall be increased, concurrently with such issuance or sale, to a
number (calculated to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the
number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior
thereto, by a fraction, of which:
(x) the numerator shall be the Fair Market Value of Common
Stock on a Fully Diluted Basis in effect on such record date; and
(y) the denominator shall be Fair Market Value of Common Stock
on a Fully Diluted Basis in effect on such record date for the action
contemplated by this Section 6.2 less the amount of such dividend or
distribution (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company) applicable to one share of Common Stock; or
(ii) the Company shall pay over to the holder of the Warrant the
securities and other property (including cash) that such holder would have
received (together with all distributions thereon) if such holder had exercised
this Warrant, immediately prior to the record date fixed for the action
contemplated by this Section 6.2, and the Company shall take whatever steps are
necessary or appropriate to keep in reserve at all times such securities and
other property as shall be required to fulfill its obligations hereunder in
respect of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant.
-6-
6.3. Treatment of Options and Convertible Securities. For
purposes of Section 6.1(a), if the Company at any time or from time to time
after the date hereof shall issue, sell, grant or assume, or shall fix a record
date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to
receive, any Options or Convertible Securities, then, and in each such case, the
Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued as of the time of such
issuance, sale, grant or assumption shall be the maximum number of Additional
Shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, without
regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of
Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities (or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the
close of business on such record date); provided, however, that such Additional
Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the
consideration per share (determined pursuant to Section 6.5) of such shares
would be less than the greater of the Fair Market Value or the Exercise Price in
effect, in each case on the date of and immediately prior to such issuance,
sale, grant or assumption (or immediately prior to the close of business on such
record date), as the case may be. In the event any such Additional Shares of
Common Stock are deemed to be issued as provided in the preceding sentence:
(i) no further adjustment of the number of shares issuable
hereunder shall be made upon the subsequent issuance or sale of Convertible
Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or the
conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;
(ii) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms
provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the
consideration payable to the Company, or for any decrease in the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable, upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange thereof (by change of rate or otherwise), the number of shares issuable
hereunder computed upon the original issuance, sale, grant or assumption thereof
(or upon the occurrence of the record date with respect thereto), and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon any such increases or
decreases becoming effective, be recomputed to reflect such increase or decrease
insofar as it affects such Options, or the rights of conversion or exchange
under such Convertible Securities, that are outstanding at such time;
(iii) upon the expiration (or purchase by the Company and
cancellation or retirement) of any such Options that shall not have been
exercised or the expiration of any rights of conversion or exchange under any
such Convertible Securities that (or purchase by the Company and cancellation or
retirement of any such Convertible Securities the rights of conversion or
exchange under which) shall not have been exercised, the number of shares
issuable hereunder computed upon the original issuance, sale, grant or
assumption thereof (or upon the occurrence of the record date), and any
subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration (or such
cancellation or retirement, as the case may be), be recomputed as if:
-7-
(A) in the case of such Options or Convertible
Securities, the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or
sold were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or
sold upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration
received therefor was the consideration actually received by the
Company for the issuance, sale, grant or assumption of all such
Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration
actually received by the Company upon such exercise, or for the
issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities that were
actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional
consideration, if any, actually received by the Company upon such
conversion or exchange, and
(B) in the case of Options for Convertible
Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually
issued or sold upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time
of the issuance, sale, grant or assumption of such Options, and
the consideration received by the Company for the Additional
Shares of Common Stock deemed to have then been issued was the
consideration actually received by the Company for the issuance,
sale, grant or assumption of all such Options, whether or not
exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by
the Company (pursuant to Section 6.5) upon the issuance or sale
of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options
were actually exercised; and
(C) no readjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or
(iii) of this Section 6.3 shall have the effect of decreasing the
number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant by an
amount in excess of the amount of the adjustment thereof
originally made in respect of the issuance, sale, grant or
assumption of such options or Convertible Securities.
6.4. Treatment of Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, etc. For
purposes of Section 6.1(a), if the Company, at any time or from time to time
after the date hereof, shall declare or pay any dividend on its Common Stock
payable in Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock),
then, and in each such case, Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed
to have been issued (a) in the case of any such dividend, immediately after the
close of business on the record date for the determination of holders of any
class of securities entitled to receive such dividend, or (b) in the case of any
such subdivision, at the close of business on the day immediately prior to the
day upon which such corporate action becomes effective.
6.5. Computation of Consideration.
(a) The consideration for the issuance or sale of any Additional
Shares of Common Stock shall (irrespective of the accounting treatment of such
consideration):
(i) insofar as the consideration consists of cash, be
computed as the amount of cash received by the Company, net of
any expenses paid or incurred by the Company and any commission
or compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to
underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in
connection with such issuance or sale,
-8-
(ii) insofar as the consideration consists of property
(including securities) other than cash, be computed at the fair
value thereof at the time of such issuance or sale, as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, and
(iii) in case Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued or
sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of
the Company for a consideration that covers both, be the portion
of such consideration so received, computed as provided in
clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocable to such Additional Shares
of Common Stock, all as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company.
(b) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued
pursuant to Section 6.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall
be deemed to have been issued for a consideration per share determined by
dividing:
(i) the total amount of consideration, if any, received and
receivable by the Company for the issuance, sale, grant or
assumption of the Options or Convertible Securities in question,
plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as
set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to
any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of
such consideration the purpose of which is to protect against
dilution) payable to the Company upon the exercise in full of
such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, or, in the case of Options for Convertible
Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible
Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible
Securities, in each case computing such consideration as provided
in Section 6.5(a), by
(ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set
forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any
provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such
number the purpose of which is to protect against dilution)
issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or
exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(c) Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued pursuant to Section 6.4, relating to stock dividends, stock splits, etc.,
shall be deemed to have been issued for no consideration.
6.6. Adjustments for Combinations, etc. In case the
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by
reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock,
the number of shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant
immediately prior to such combination or consolidation (and each other share or
per-share amount set forth in this Warrant, where appropriate) shall,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination or consolidation, be
proportionately reduced as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of
the Company.
-9-
6.7. Minimum Adjustment of Number of Shares. If the amount of
any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased
upon exercise of this Warrant required pursuant to this Section 6 would be less
than one-tenth of 1% of such number of shares prior to such adjustment is
otherwise so required to be made, such amount shall be carried forward and
adjustment with respect thereto made at the time of and together with any
subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or
amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least one percent (0.01) of such
number of shares; provided, however, that upon the exercise of this Warrant, all
necessary adjustments (calculated to the nearest whole share) not theretofore
made relating thereto by reason of the initial clause of this sentence, up to
and including the date of such exercise or conversion, shall be made.
6.8. Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, etc. In the case
of any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
(other than a change from no par value to par value or vice versa or a change in
par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), or in the case of
any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into,
another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the surviving corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or
change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock except a change as a result of
a subdivision or combination of such shares or a change in par value as
aforesaid), the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter (but only until the
Expiration Time) have the right to purchase the kind and number of shares of
stock and/or other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification,
change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance in respect of the number of
shares issuable under this Warrant immediately prior to the time of
determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such shares of
stock and/or other securities or property, at a purchase price equal to the
product of (x) the number of shares issuable under this Warrant immediately
prior to such determination, times (y) the Exercise Price provided hereunder, as
if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such
determination. The Company shall be obligated to retain and set aside, or
otherwise make fair provision for exercise of the right of the holder hereof to
receive, the shares of stock and/or other securities or property provided for in
this Section 6.8.
6.9. Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Company will not effect any of the
transactions described in Section 6.8 unless, prior to the consummation thereof,
each Person (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any stock,
securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided
herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to the holder of this
Warrant, and reasonably satisfactory to Securityholders who hold a
majority-in-interest of the Warrants, (a) the obligations of the Company under
this Warrant (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such
transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the
Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Warrant) and
(b) the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities,
cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section
6, such holder may be entitled to receive.
6.10. No Adjustment with Respect to Shares of Common Stock
Held. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, subject to
Section 6.13, the antidilution rights provided under this Section 6 shall be
available to the extent (and only to the extent) provided herein in respect of
the rights to purchase Common Stock hereunder but shall not be available in
respect of shares of Common Stock held by the holder, whether or not such shares
were purchased pursuant to this Warrant.
-10-
6.11. No Voting Rights. The holder of this Warrant shall have
no right to vote as a stockholder in respect of this Warrant.
6.12. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties. The
Company covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the Warrantholder, that so long
as the Warrant (or any replacement thereof) remains outstanding, the Company
will not permit any Permitted Holder (as defined in the Amended and Restated
Indenture dated as of May 1, 2002 between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
as trustee (the "Indenture")), Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture) of the
Company, executive officer or director of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, family member of the any of the foregoing or any Affiliate of any
of the foregoing to hold at any time any direct or indirect interest in the
Original Securities (as defined in the Indenture), economic, beneficial or
otherwise, including, without limitation, any participation in the Original
Securities.
6.13. Additional Adjustment in Respect of Preferred Stock.
(a) From and after the A/B Determination Date, the number of
shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be increased by adding thereto
the result obtained by dividing:
(i) the product of (A) the number of shares of Common
Stock that, immediately prior to the adjustment pursuant to this
provision, are purchasable under this Warrant times (B) the
result of (x) the Number of A/B Common Shares multiplied by (y)
0.05; by
(ii) the product of (A) 5,500 (i.e., the number of shares
that would initially be purchasable under all Warrants if all
holders of the Company's 13% Senior Notes consent to the Amended
and Restated Indenture being executed and delivered as of May 1,
2002 by and between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as
trustee) as such number is adjusted from time to time pursuant to
the terms of this Section 6 and (B) 0.95.
(b) Promptly after the A/B Determination Date, the Company
shall prepare and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a calculation, in
reasonable detail, of the Number of A/B Common Shares and of the increase in the
number of shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as provided in paragraph
(a) above. The Company's calculation of the Number of A/B Common Shares and the
increase in the number of shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant as
provided in Section 6.13(a) above shall be final and binding on the holder of
this Warrant absent manifest error.
(c) Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, with respect to
any full or partial exercise of this Warrant (the portion of this Warrant so
exercised, for purposes of this paragraph (c), the "Exercised Portion of this
Warrant") that occurs before the A/B Determination Date, the Company shall be
obligated (subject to compliance with applicable securities laws) until the
Expiration Time to issue to the holder or any Affiliate of the holder in respect
of the Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to such exercise (provided however that
the Company shall not be so required in respect of any Warrant Shares
transferred by the holder or any Affiliate of the holder to any Person that is
not an Affiliate of the holder), promptly after the A/B Determination Date, a
number of shares of Common Stock, against payment by the holder or Affiliate (as
applicable) of the Exercise Price with respect thereto, equal to the number of
additional shares of Common Stock by which the Exercised Portion of this Warrant
would have increased from and after the A/B Determination Date as provided in
Section 6.13(a) if the Exercised Portion of this Warrant had not been exercised
prior to the A/B Determination Date.

Dealers Automated Quotation System.

8. Reservation; Authorization; Capitalization. The Company has
duly reserved, and will keep available for issuance upon exercise of the
Warrant, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time
upon exercise of this Warrant in its entirety. The Company will not take any
actions during the term of this Warrant that would result in any adjustment of
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
if the sum of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after such
action upon exercise of this Warrant, (ii) all shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding and (iii) all shares of Common Stock then issuable (y) upon the
exercise of all outstanding Options and (z) upon the exercise, conversion or
exchange of all other outstanding Convertible Securities, would exceed the total
number of shares of Common Stock then authorized for issuance by the Company.
The issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant has
been duly and validly authorized and, when issued and sold in accordance with
the Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Neither the issuance of this
Warrant nor the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant
violates or conflicts with the Company's certificate of incorporation or by laws
or any material agreement to which the Company is a party.
The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation
or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant,
but will at all times in good faith carry out of all such terms and take such
action as necessary to protect the rights of the holder as provided in this
Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will
not permit the par value of any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of
this Warrant to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) will
take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the
Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of
stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time to time outstanding, (c) will
not issue any capital stock of any class which is preferred as to dividends or
as to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up, unless the rights of the holders thereof shall be
limited to a fixed sum or percentage of par value or a sum determined by
reference to a formula based on a published index of interest rates, an interest
rate publicly announced by a financial institution or a similar indicator of
interest rates in respect of participation in dividends and to a fixed sum or
percentage of par value in any such distribution of assets (provided however
that this item (c) shall not prevent the issuance of non-participating preferred
stock that is convertible into shares of Common Stock) and (d) will not issue
any Option or Convertible Security as to which the underlying shares of Common
Stock are not readily determinable upon the date of issuance.
