WARRANTS

Section 2.01. Form and Dating. Pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby issues Warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 21,999,296 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted by stock split, reverse stock split, dividend, reorganization, recapitalization or as otherwise adjusted in accordance with Section 12 of the Global Warrant, the terms of which are incorporated into the Book-Entry Warrants and any Warrant Statement relating thereto). Simultaneously with such issuance, the Company shall deliver electronically and via overnight courier to the Warrant Agent a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company directing the Warrant Agent to, and the Warrant Agent shall immediately thereafter, in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.01, initially countersign and deliver as specified in such order Global Warrants, Book-Entry Warrants and Definitive Warrants, entitling the Holders thereof as specified in such order to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as set forth in such order.

(a) Global Warrants; Book-Entry Warrants. Except as provided in Section 2.01, 2.04 or 2.05, Warrants shall (i) be issued in the form of one or more permanent global Warrants in fully registered form with the global securities legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Global Warrant”), which shall be deposited on behalf of the Company with the Warrant Agent, as custodian for the Depositary (or with such other custodian as the Depositary may direct), and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided, and/or (ii) if the Holder thereof is not a DTC-eligible participant, be issued via book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent (the “Book-Entry Warrants”) evidenced by statements issued by the Warrant Agent from time to time (the “Warrant Statements”) to the Holders of the Book-Entry Warrants reflecting such book-entry position, set forth in the usual and customary form.

(b) Global Warrant Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(b) shall apply only to a Global Warrant deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

(i) The Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.02, countersign, either by manual or facsimile signature, and deliver one or more Global Warrants that (A) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary and (B) shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Depositary

or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions or held by the Warrant Agent as custodian for the Depositary. Each Global Warrant shall be dated the date of its countersignature.

(ii) Agent Members shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Warrant held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Warrant Agent as the custodian of the Depositary or under such Global Warrant except to the extent set forth herein or in a Warrant Certificate, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Warrant for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) 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 Depositary or (B) impair, as between the Depositary and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Warrant.

(c) Definitive Securities. Except as provided in Section 2.04 or 2.05, owners of beneficial interests in Global Warrants will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Warrants.

(d) Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates shall be in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, as applicable, and shall be typed or printed or produced by any combination of such methods or produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, all as determined by any Officer of the Company executing such Warrant Certificates, as evidenced by their execution thereof. Any Warrant Certificate shall have such insertions as are appropriate or required or permitted by this Agreement and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends and endorsements, stamped or printed thereon, (i) as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) such as may be required to comply with this Agreement, any law or any rule of any securities exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, and (iii) such as may be necessary to conform to customary usage (provided that they do not, except as the Warrant Agent may agree, affect the rights, duties, obligations or indemnities of the Warrant Agent).

Section 2.02. Execution and Countersignature.

At least one Officer shall sign the Warrant Certificates for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Warrant Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Warrant Agent countersigns the Warrant Certificate, the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate shall be valid nevertheless.

The Warrant Agent shall initially countersign, either by manual or facsimile signature, and deliver Warrant Certificates entitling the Holders thereof to purchase in the aggregate not more than 21,999,296 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in such Warrant Certificates) upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company. Such order

shall specify the number of Warrants to be evidenced on the Warrant Certificate to be countersigned, the date on which such Warrant Certificate is to be countersigned and the number of Warrants then authorized. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of its countersignature.

At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company countersign, either by manual or facsimile signature, for issue a Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants specified in such order; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that issuance and execution of such Warrants are authorized or permitted by this Agreement in connection with such countersignature of Warrants. A Global Warrant shall be, and shall remain, subject to the provisions of this Agreement until such time as all of the Warrants evidenced thereby shall have been duly exercised or shall have expired or been canceled in accordance with the terms hereof or the Global Warrant is replaced by another Global Warrant in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

The Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent countersigns the Warrant Certificate. Such signature shall be solely for the purpose of authenticating the Warrant Certificate and shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly authenticated and issued under this Agreement.

Section 2.03. Registry.

The Warrants shall be issued in registered form only. The Warrant Agent shall keep a registry (the “Registry”) of the Warrant Certificates and Book-Entry Warrants and of their transfer and exchange. The Registry shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders and the date and number of Warrants evidenced on the face of each of the Warrant Certificates and Book-Entry Warrants. The Holder of any Global Warrant will be the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary in whose name the Global Warrant is registered. The Warrant holdings of Agent Members will be recorded on the books of the Depositary. The beneficial interests in the Global Warrant held by customers of Agent Members will be reflected on the books and records of such Agent Members and will not be known to the Warrant Agent, the Company or to the Depositary.

The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat any Person in whose name a Warrant Certificate is registered in the Registry as the absolute owner of such Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.04. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrants.

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Warrants or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the book-entry system maintained by Depositary, in accordance with this Agreement and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant (or the relevant Agent Member on behalf of such transferor) shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a written order given in accordance with the

Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the account of the Agent Member to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Agent Member specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Warrant and to debit the account of the Agent Member making the transfer of the beneficial interest in the Warrant being transferred.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.05), a Global Warrant may only be transferred as a whole, and not in part, and only by (i) the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (ii) a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or (iii) the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or its nominee.

(iii) In the event that a Global Warrant is exchanged and transferred for Definitive Warrants pursuant to Section 2.05, such Warrants may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.04 and the requirements of any Warrant Certificate and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company that are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or of any Warrant Certificate.

(b) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Warrant. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Warrant have been exchanged for Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Warrant shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Warrant Agent. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is transferred or exchanged for Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Warrant Agent to reflect such reduction.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall, upon written order of the Company signed by one officer of the Company, countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants as required pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02 and this Section 2.04.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, and the Company shall pay any tax, assessments, or governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation under any Section of this Agreement requiring the payment of taxes, assessments, and/or governmental charges unless and until it is satisfied that all such taxes, assessments, and/or governmental charges have been paid.

(iii) All Warrants issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrants surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(d) No Obligation of the Warrant Agent.

(i) Other than with respect to its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), the Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Warrant, any Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Warrants or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Warrants. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Warrants shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Warrant). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Warrant shall be exercised through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Warrant Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(ii) The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Warrant (including any transfer between or among the Agent Members or beneficial owners in any Global Warrant) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.05. Definitive Warrants.

(a) Beneficial interests in a Global Warrant deposited with the Depositary or with the Warrant Agent as custodian for the Depositary pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be transferred to each beneficial owner thereof in the form of Definitive Warrants evidencing a number of Warrants equivalent to such owner’s beneficial interest in such Global Warrant, in exchange for such Global Warrant, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.04 and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Warrant or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each such case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Warrants under this Agreement, or (iii) the Company shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or institute proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization under Federal bankruptcy laws or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver

or custodian of all or any substantial part of its property, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if a receiver or custodian of it or all or any substantial part of its property shall be appointed, or if a public officer shall have taken charge or control of the Company or of its property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; provided that in no such event will the Warrant Agent have any obligation or duty to request any such transfer.

(b) Any Global Warrant that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Warrant Agent, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Warrant Agent, upon a written order of the Company signed by one officer of the Company, shall countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, and deliver to each beneficial owner in the name of such beneficial owner, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Warrant, Definitive Warrants evidencing a number of Warrants equivalent to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in the Global Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall register such transfer in the Registry, and upon such transfer the surrendered Global Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

(c) When Book-Entry Warrants are presented to the Warrant Agent with a written request to be exchanged for Definitive Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall exchange the Book-Entry Warrants for Definitive Warrants evidencing a number of Warrants equivalent to such Warrantholder’s Book-Entry Warrants. Any Book-Entry Warrant that is exchanged in the form of Definitive Warrants pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be so exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, upon a written order of the Company signed by one officer of the Company, by either manual or facsimile signature, and deliver to such Warrantholder of Book-Entry Warrants in the name of such Warrantholder, upon such exchange, Definitive Warrants evidencing a number of Warrants equivalent to such Warrantholder’s Book-Entry Warrants so exchanged for Definitive Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall register such transfer in the Registry, and upon such transfer the surrendered Book-Entry Warrant shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.

(d) All Definitive Warrants issued upon transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations of the Company and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement and the Global Warrant or Book-Entry Warrant surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(e) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the registered Holder of a Global Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Warrants.

(f) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.05(a), the Company will promptly make available to the Warrant Agent a reasonable supply of Definitive Warrants in definitive, fully registered form.

(g) Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent will be liable or responsible for any registration or transfer of any Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary.

Section 2.06. Book-Entry Warrants.

(a) A Book-Entry Warrant may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of appropriate written instruments of transfer with respect to a Book-Entry Warrant, in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to direct the Depositary to make, an endorsement on the Global Warrant to reflect an increase in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Book-Entry Warrant, then the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Book-Entry Warrant on the Registry and cause, or direct the Depositary to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant to be increased accordingly. If no Global Warrants are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall, upon written order of the Company signed by one officer of the Company, countersign a new Global Warrant representing the appropriate number of Warrants.

(b) When Book-Entry Warrants are presented to the Warrant Agent with a written request (i) to register the transfer of the Book-Entry Warrants; or (ii) to exchange such Book-Entry Warrants for an equal number of Book-Entry Warrants of other authorized denominations, the Warrant Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its customary requirements for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent has received a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing.

Section 2.07. Replacement Certificates.

If a mutilated Warrant Certificate is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or if the Holder of a Warrant Certificate provides proof reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent that the Warrant Certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign a replacement Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, if the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent and of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York are met. If required by the Warrant Agent or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond or other penalty surety bond satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent to protect the Company and the Warrant Agent and hold each of them harmless from any loss that either of them may suffer if a Warrant Certificate is replaced. The Company and the Warrant Agent may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Warrant Certificate. Every replacement Warrant Certificate evidences an additional obligation of the Company.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Warrants.

Warrants outstanding at any time are the sum of all Warrants evidenced on all Warrant Certificates countersigned by the Warrant Agent and all Warrants evidenced on all Warrant Statements, except for those canceled by the Warrant Agent and those delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation. A Warrant ceases to be outstanding if the Company holds the Warrant.

If a Warrant Certificate is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, the Warrants evidenced thereby cease to be outstanding unless the Warrant Agent and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Warrant Certificate is held by a bona fide purchaser.

Section 2.09. Cancellation.

In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants represented by a Global Warrant (if permitted pursuant to the terms hereof) and shall direct the Warrant Agent in an order signed by one officer of the Company, the Warrant Agent shall cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrants to be reduced by the number of Warrants purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company.

In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Book-Entry Warrants or Definitive Warrants, the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation.

The Warrant Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Warrant Certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement, exercise or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company upon request. The Company may not issue new Warrant Certificates to replace Warrant Certificates or issue new Warrant Statements to the extent they evidence Warrants that have been exercised or Warrants that the Company has purchased or otherwise acquired.

Section 2.10. CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Warrants may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Warrant Agent shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Warrant Certificates or Warrant Statements or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Warrant Certificates or Warrant Statements.

Section 2.11. Authorization of Warrant Shares.

The Company will at all times until the Expiration Time (or, if such date shall not be a business day, then on the next succeeding business day) reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise thereof at any time.

ARTICLE III.

EXERCISE TERMS

Section 3.01. Exercise.

The Exercise Price of each Warrant, the Warrant Share Number, the number of Warrants evidenced by any Warrant Certificate and the Expiration Time of each Warrant shall be set forth in the related Warrant Certificate or Warrant Statement. The Exercise Price of each Warrant and the Warrant Share Number are subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms set forth in the Warrant Certificate, which terms are hereby incorporated into the terms of the Book-Entry Warrants (and any Warrant Statement relating thereto).

Section 3.02. Manner of Exercise and Issuance of Shares.

Warrants may be exercised in the manner set forth in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate or, in the case of Persons who hold Book-Entry Warrants, by providing an exercise form for the election to exercise such Warrant (“Exercise Form”) in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, properly completed and executed by the Holder thereof, in each case together with payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares thereby purchased to the Warrant Agent in accordance with the terms set forth in the Warrant Certificate (which terms are incorporated into the Book-Entry Warrants and any Warrant Statement relating thereto). Upon any such exercise, Shares shall be issued in the manner set forth in Section 4 of the Warrant Certificate or, in the case of Holders of Book-Entry Warrants, incorporated into the terms of the Book-Entry Warrants (and any Warrant Statement relating thereto), and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate, which terms are hereby incorporated into the terms of the Book-Entry Warrants (and any Warrant Statement relating thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to the exercise any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the Expiration Time of any Warrant beneficially owned at the time of exercise by a Fairholme Investor, such Fairholme Investor must have delivered written notice of its intent to exercise such Warrant to the Company not less than 75 calendar days prior to the date of exercise of such Warrant and no exercise of such Warrant shall be effective until such 75-day period has lapsed.

Section 3.03. Covenant to Make Stock Certificates Available.

The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to request from time to time from any stock transfer agents of the Company stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Company agrees to authorize and direct such transfer agents to comply with all such requests of the Warrant Agent. The Company shall supply such transfer agents with duly executed stock certificates for such purposes and shall provide or otherwise make available any cash or scrip that may be payable upon exercise of Warrants as provided herein and in each Warrant Certificate.

ARTICLE IV.

The Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 12 of the Warrant Certificate, which terms are hereby incorporated into the terms of the Book-Entry Warrants (and any Warrant Statement relating thereto). Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number is so adjusted or is proposed to be adjusted as provided in Section 12 of the Warrant Certificate, the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent the notices or statements, and shall cause a copy of such notices or statements to be sent or communicated to each Holder pursuant to Section 6.03, in each case as provided in Sections 12(H) and (I) of the Warrant Certificate.

Section 4.02. Adjustment to Warrant Certificate.

The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 12 of the Warrant Certificate, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Exercise Price and the same Warrant Share Number as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Warrant Certificate, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. Any Warrant Statement issued after any adjustment made pursuant to Section 12 of the Warrant Certificate shall state the Exercise Price and Warrant Share Number, as adjusted after such adjustment.

(A) Subject to Section 2 and any other agreement between the Company and the Warrantholder and except as set forth in this Section 3, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, all or a portion of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are exercisable by the Warrantholder, at any time or from time to time after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the business day immediately following the Issue Date, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on December 15, 2019 (the “Expiration Time”), by (1) delivery to the Warrant Agent of a Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto, duly completed and executed (or to the Company or to such other office or agency of the Company in the United States as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholders pursuant to Section 18), (2) either (a) payment by check payable to the order of the Company or, as the Company and Warrant Agent may agree from time to time, payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the Company (as designated by the Company by notice in writing to the Warrantholders pursuant to Section 18) or (b) surrendering Notes (with a principal amount of $500 or any whole multiple thereof) which shall be valued at their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (other than any interest with respect to which a record date for the payment of such interest has occurred), as of the applicable date of surrender, in each case in an amount equal (or, in the case of surrender pursuant to clause (b) in an amount at least equal) to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares thereby purchased, subject, in the case of Notes held through the Depositary, to the Depositary’s applicable procedures and the Warrantholder effecting, or arranging for, the transfer of such Notes through the Depositary’s deposit and withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system, and (3) a written acknowledgement to the Warrant Agent by the Company of receipt of such payment (which acknowledgement shall be given by the Company promptly after the receipt of such payment). In the case of a Global Warrant, any Person with a beneficial interest in such Global Warrant shall effect compliance with the requirements in clauses (1) and (2) above through the relevant Agent Member in accordance with procedures of the Depositary, except in the case of transactions described in clause (2)(b), in which case such requirements shall be satisfied in accordance with the protocol set forth on Exhibit I, or in accordance with such other procedures as shall be agreed by the Company and the Warrant Agent. All principal and accrued and unpaid interest amounts (other than any interest with respect to which a record date for the payment of such interest has occurred) of the Notes surrendered pursuant to clause (2)(b) of the preceding sentence in excess of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares thereby purchased shall be forfeited to the Company by the Warrantholder surrendering such Notes and shall not be refunded to such Warrantholder.

(B) In the case of a Global Warrant, whenever some but not all of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof and of the Warrant Agreement, such Global Warrant shall be surrendered by the Warrantholder to the Warrant Agent, which shall cause an adjustment to be made to Schedule A to such Global Warrant so that the number of Warrants represented thereby will be equal to the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such Global Warrant less the number of Warrants then exercised. The Warrant Agent shall thereafter promptly return such Global Warrant to the Warrantholder or its

nominee or custodian. In the case of a Definitive Warrant, whenever some but not all of the Warrants represented by such Definitive Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof and of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrantholder shall be entitled, at the request of such Warrantholder, to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding 10 business days, a new Definitive Warrant in substantially identical form for the number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such Definitive Warrant less the number of Warrants then exercised.

(C) If this Warrant Certificate shall have been exercised in full, the Warrant Agent shall promptly cancel such certificate following its receipt from the Warrantholder or the Depositary, as applicable.

(D) Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant Certificate to the contrary, in the case of Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant, any Agent Member may, without the consent of the Warrant Agent or any other Person, on its own behalf and on behalf of any beneficial owner for which it is acting, enforce, and may institute and maintain, any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right to exercise, and to receive Shares for, its Warrants as provided in the Global Warrant, and to enforce the Warrant Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Shares to the Warrantholder, then the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may only be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a number of Shares evidenced by this Warrant Certificate equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A-B) (X) by (A), where:

(A) = the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Warrantholder elects to exercise Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

(B) = the Exercise Price of the Warrants, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the terms of the Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

4. Issuance of Shares; Authorization; Registration.

(A) Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be (i) issued in such name or names as the exercising Warrantholder may designate and (ii) delivered by the Transfer Agent to such Warrantholder or its nominee or nominees (A) via book-entry transfer crediting the account of such Warrantholder (or the relevant Agent Member for the benefit of such Warrantholder) through the Depositary’s DWAC system (if the Transfer Agent participates in such system), or (B) otherwise in book-entry transfer form through the share registry maintained by the Transfer Agent. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Transfer Agent to be a participant in the Depositary’s DWAC system. The Company shall cause the number of full Shares to which such Warrantholder shall be entitled

to be so delivered by the Transfer Agent within a reasonable time, not to exceed 10 business days after the date on which Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate have been duly exercised in accordance with the terms hereof.

(B) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (or a new registration statement, if required or in the event that the Registration Statement expires or is otherwise insufficient) covering the issuance of the Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants sold in the Rights Offering for so long as such Warrants are outstanding and make a current prospectus included therein available to the Warrantholders in connection with any exercise of any Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise for cash of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under this Section 4(B). In no event shall the Company be required to settle any Warrant for a net cash payment by the Company (i.e., net cash settle).

(C) The Company hereby represents and warrants that any Shares issued upon the exercise of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by a Warrantholder, income and franchise taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith). The Company agrees that the Shares so issued will be deemed to have been issued to a Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate have been duly exercised and fully paid by Warrantholder, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually delivered on such date. The Company will at all times until the Expiration Time (or, if such date shall not be a business day, then on the next succeeding business day) reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise hereof at any time. The Company will (A) procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof at any time, subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all principal stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded and (B) maintain such listings of such Shares at all times after issuance. The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded.

5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate. In lieu of any fractional Share which would otherwise be issued to a Warrantholder upon the exercise of any Warrants, such Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the pro-rated Market Price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise representing such fractional Share. The beneficial owners of the Warrants and the Warrantholder, by their acceptance hereof, expressly waive their right to receive any fraction of a share of Common Stock or a certificate representing a fraction of a share of Common Stock or Warrant Certificate representing a fractional Warrant upon exercise of any Warrant.

6. No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate do not entitle the Warrantholder or the owner of any beneficial interest in such Warrants to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date of exercise hereof. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against transfer of Warrants in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise hereof.

7. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Shares in certificated or book-entry form to the Warrantholder upon the exercise of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Shares, all of which issue or transfer taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

8. Transfer/Assignment. This Warrant Certificate and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books of the Company (or an agent duly appointed by the Company) by the registered holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and one or more new Warrant Certificates shall be made and delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant Certificate but registered in the name of one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate, duly endorsed, to the office or agency of the Company described in Section 3; provided that if this Warrant Certificate is a Global Warrant registered in the name of the Depositary, transfers of such Global Warrant may only be made as a whole, and not in part, and only by (i) the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (ii) a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or (iii) the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or its nominee. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new Warrants pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid by the Company.

If this Warrant Certificate is a Global Warrant, then so long as the Global Warrant is registered in the name of the Depositary, the holders of beneficial interests in the Warrants evidenced thereby shall have no rights hereunder or under the Warrant Agreement with respect to the Global Warrant held on their behalf by the Depositary or the Warrant Agent as its custodian, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of the Global Warrant for all purposes whatsoever except to the extent set forth herein. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in the Global Warrant will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or the Agent Members, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to such records maintained by the Depositary or the Agent Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) 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 Depositary or (ii) impair, as between the Depositary and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Warrant. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Warrant Certificate or the Warrant Agreement, the rights of beneficial owners in a Global Warrant shall be exercised through the Depositary subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Any holder of the Global Warrant shall, by acceptance

of the Global Warrant, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Warrant may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Depositary, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants represented thereby shall be required to be reflected in book-entry form.

A Global Warrant or Book-Entry Warrant shall be exchanged for Definitive Warrants, and Definitive Warrants may be transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant or a Book-Entry Warrant, only at such times and in the manner specified in the Warrant Agreement. The holder of a Global Warrant and the holder of a Book-Entry Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold beneficial interests in such Global Warrant through Agent Members, to take any action that a Warrantholder is entitled to take under a Warrant or the Warrant Agreement.

9. Exchange and Registry of Warrants. This Warrant Certificate is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Warrantholder to the Company, for a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing the same aggregate number of Warrants. The Company or an agent duly appointed by the Company (which initially shall be the Warrant Agent) shall maintain a Registry showing the name and address of the Warrantholder as the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate. This Warrant Certificate may be surrendered for exchange or exercise in accordance with its terms, at the office of the Company or any such agent, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such Registry.

10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant Certificate. Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant Certificate, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall make and deliver, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing the same aggregate number of Warrants as provided for in such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate.

11. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a business day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a business day.

12. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows; provided that if more than one subsection of this Section 12 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 12 so as to result in duplication:

(A) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock

into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Share Number at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of a Warrant after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Share Number had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by the quotient of (x) the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such adjustment divided by (y) the new Warrant Share Number determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(B) Other Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends, dividends of its Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 12(A)), in each such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter or at such later date as the Board of Directors may determine for purposes of the determination of Fair Market Value (but in any event not later than 10 business days after the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distribution) to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share of Common Stock divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the Warrant Share Number shall be increased to the number obtained by multiplying the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such adjustment by the quotient of (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise to this adjustment divided by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

(C) Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of

which the denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the Warrant Share Number shall be increased to the number obtained by multiplying the Warrant Share Number immediately prior to such adjustment by the quotient of (x) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment divided by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise Price or decrease in the Warrant Share Number shall be made pursuant to this Section 12(C).

(D) Business Combinations or Reclassifications of Common Stock. In case of any Business Combination or any reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 12(A)), a Warrantholder’s right to receive Shares upon exercise of a Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise such Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to such Warrantholder’s right to exercise a Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph.

(E) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this Section 12 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 12 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be 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 $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more, or on exercise of a Warrant if it shall earlier occur.

(F) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any case in which the provisions of this Section 12 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, or such later date as provided in Section 12(B), the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to a Warrantholder of Warrants exercised after such record date or such later date as provided in Section 12(B) and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

(G) Other Events. Neither the Exercise Price nor the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted in the event of a change in the par value of the Common Stock or a change in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company.

(H) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 12, the Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect and the Warrant Share Number after such adjustment, and the Company shall also deliver a copy of such statement to the Warrant Agent and cause a copy of such statement to be sent or communicated to the Warrantholders pursuant to Section 18.

(I) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Company shall propose to take any action of the type described in this Section 12 (but only if the action of the type described in this Section 12 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the Warrant Share Number or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon exercise of a Warrant), the Company shall give notice to the Warrantholders, in the manner set forth in Section 12(H), which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of a Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action.

(J) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, NASDAQ Global Select Market or other applicable national securities exchange or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Shares that a Warrantholder is entitled to receive upon exercise of a Warrant pursuant to this Section 12.

(K) Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 12 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur.

13. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant Certificate and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder.
