later than five (5) days after the Effective Date (such date, the “Issue Date”), Warrants to purchase the Warrant Shares will be issued by the Company to all holders of Equity Interest (as defined in the Plan of Reorganization) in Solutia, on a pro rata basis, based upon the amount of their respective pre-petition ownership of Equity Interest, provided that such holder of an Equity Interest owns at least 24 shares of common stock of Solutia such that it would receive a Warrant to purchase at least one share of New Common Stock. On such date, the Company will deliver, or cause to be delivered to the Depositary, one or more Global Warrant Certificates evidencing a portion of the Warrants. The remainder of the Warrants shall be issued by book-entry registration on the books of the Warrant Agent (“Book-Entry Warrants”) and shall be evidenced by statements issued by the Warrant Agent from time to time to the Registered Holders of Book-Entry Warrants reflecting such book-entry position (the “Warrant Statements”). The maximum number of shares of New Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Warrants shall be 4,481,250 shares, as such amount may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to this Agreement.

     Section 3.2Form of Warrant.

          (a) Subject toSection 6.1 of this Agreement, the Warrants shall be issued (i) via book-entry registration on the books and records of the Warrant Agent and evidenced by the Warrant Statements, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto, and/or (ii) in the form of one or more global certificates (the “Global Warrant Certificates”), with the forms of election to exercise and of assignment printed on the reverse thereof, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 attached hereto. The Warrant Statements and Global Warrant Certificates may bear such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with any law or with any rules made pursuant thereto or with any rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, or, be determined by (i) in the case of Global Warrant Certificates, the Appropriate Officers executing such Global Warrant Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Global Warrant Certificates, or (ii) in the case of a Warrant Statement, any Appropriate Officer, and all of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Warrant Agent.

          (b) The Global Warrant Certificates shall be deposited on or after Issue Date with the Warrant Agent and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”). Each Global Warrant Certificate shall represent such number of the outstanding Warrants as specified therein, and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Warrants represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 3.3Execution of Global Warrant Certificates.

4

          (a) The Global Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, any Senior Vice President or its Treasurer (each, an “Appropriate Officer”). Each such signature upon the Global Warrant Certificates may be in the form of a facsimile signature of any such Appropriate Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Global Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any Appropriate Officer.

          (b) If any Appropriate Officer who shall have signed any of the Global Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such Appropriate Officer before the Global Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent or disposed of by the Company, such Global Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such Appropriate Officer had not ceased to be such Appropriate Officer of the Company; and any Global Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Global Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper Appropriate Officer of the Company to sign such Global Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such Appropriate Officer.

     Section 3.4Registration and Countersignature.

          (a) Upon written order of the Company, the Warrant Agent shall (i) register in the Warrant Register the Book-Entry Warrants and (ii) upon receipt of the Global Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign one or more Global Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants. Such written order of the Company shall specifically state the number of Warrants that are to be issued as Book-Entry Warrants and the number of Warrants that are to be issued as a Global Warrant Certificate. A Global Warrant Certificate 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.

          (b) No Global Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Global Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Global Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that such Global Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.

          (c) The Warrant Agent shall keep, at an office designated for such purpose, books (the “Warrant Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register the Book-Entry Warrants as well as any Global Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrants in accordance with the procedures set forth inSection 6.1of this Agreement, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of the Warrants, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on the Registered Holder in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation to effect an exchange or register a transfer unless and until any payments required by the immediately preceding sentence have been made.

5

          (d) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer or exchange of any Warrant in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered upon the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder” of such Warrant) as the absolute owner of such Warrant (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on a Global Warrant Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Warrant Agent), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the holder thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

ARTICLE IV

     Section 4.1Exercise Price. On the Issue Date, each Warrant shall entitle (i) in the case of the Book-Entry Warrants, the Registered Holder thereof and (ii) in the case of Warrants held through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary or by or through persons that are direct participants in the Depositary, the Beneficial Holder thereof ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Holder”), subject to the provisions of such Warrant and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of Warrant Shares, at the price of $29.70 per whole share (as the same may be hereafter adjusted pursuant toArticle V, the “Exercise Price”) specified in such Warrant.

     Section 4.3Method of Exercise.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of the Warrants and this Agreement, the Holder of a Warrant may exercise such Holder’s right to purchase the Warrant Shares, in whole or in part, by: (x) in the case of persons who hold Book-Entry Warrants, providing an exercise form for the election to exercise such Warrant (“Exercise Form”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, properly completed and executed by the Registered Holder thereof, together with payment of the Exercise Amount in accordance withSection 4.5(a) in the case of an exercise for cash pursuant toSection 4.5(a), to the Warrant Agent, and (y) in the case of Warrants held through the book-entry facilities of the Depositary or by or through persons that are direct participants in the Depositary, providing an Exercise Form (as provided by such Holder’s broker) to its broker, properly completed and executed by the Beneficial Holder thereof, together with payment of the Exercise Amount in accordance withSection 4.5(a) in the case of an exercise for cash pursuant toSection 4.5(a).

          (b) Any exercise of a Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a binding agreement between the Holder and the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

6

          (c) The Warrant Agent shall:

               (i) examine all Exercise Forms and all other documents delivered to it by or on behalf of Holders as contemplated hereunder to ascertain whether or not, on their face, such Exercise Forms and any such other documents have been executed and completed in accordance with their terms and the terms hereof;

               (ii) where an Exercise Form or other document appears on its face to have been improperly completed or executed or some other irregularity in connection with the exercise of the Warrants exists, endeavor to inform the appropriate parties (including the person submitting such instrument) of the need for fulfillment of all requirements, specifying those requirements which appear to be unfulfilled;

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

               (iv) advise the Company no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Exercise Form, of (A) the receipt of such Exercise Form and the number of Warrants exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (B) the instructions with respect to delivery of the Warrant Shares deliverable upon such exercise, subject to timely receipt from the Depositary of the necessary information, and (C) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require; and

               (v) subject to Warrant Shares being made available to the Warrant Agent by or on behalf of the Company for delivery to the Depositary, liaise with the Depositary and endeavor to effect such delivery to the relevant accounts at the Depositary in accordance with its customary requirements.

          (d) The Company reserves the right to reasonably reject any and all Exercise Forms not in proper form or for which any corresponding agreement by the Company to exchange would, in the opinion of the Company, be unlawful. Such determination by the Company shall be final and binding on the Holders of the Warrants, absent manifest error. Moreover, the Company reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to the exercise of Warrants or defects in Exercise Forms with regard to any particular exercise of Warrants. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be under any duty to give notice to the Holders of the Warrants of any irregularities in any exercise of Warrants, nor shall it incur any liability for the failure to give such notice.

     Section 4.4Issuance of Warrant Shares.

          (a) Upon exercise of any Warrants pursuant toSection 4.3 and clearance of the funds in payment of the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly at its expense, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, cause to be issued to the Holder of such Warrants the total number of whole Warrant Shares for which such Warrants are being exercised (as the same may be hereafter adjusted pursuant toArticle V) in such denominations as are requested by the Holder as set forth below:

7

               (i) in the case of a Beneficial Holder who holds the Warrants being exercised through the Depositary’s book-entry transfer facilities, by same-day or next-day credit to the Depositary for the account of such Beneficial Holder or for the account of a participant in the Depositary the number of Warrant Shares to which such person is entitled, in each case registered in such name and delivered to such account as directed in the Exercise Form by such Beneficial Holder or by the direct participant in the Depositary through which such Beneficial Holder is acting, or

               (ii) in the case of a Registered Holder who holds the Warrants being exercised in the form of Book-Entry Warrants, a book-entry interest in the Warrant Shares registered on the books of the Company’s transfer agent.

          (b) Any exercise of Net Issuance Right pursuant toSection 4.5(b) shall be effective upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of the Exercise Form duly executed, or on such later date as is specified therein (the “Net Issuance Exercise Date”), and, at the election of the Holder thereof. The Holder of the Warrants shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise as of the time of receipt of the Exercise Form and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares for which a Warrant is then being exercised, in the case of an exercise for cash pursuant toSection 4.5(a), or as of the Net Issuance Exercise Date, in the case of a net issuance exercise pursuant toSection 4.5(b), except that, if the date of such receipt and payment or the Net Issuance Exercise Date is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, the Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Holder in any state in which such exercise or issuance would be unlawful.

          (c) If less than all of the Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of Warrants are exercised at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a new Global Warrant Certificate or Global Warrant Certificates shall be issued for the remaining number of Warrants evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate so surrendered, and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign the required new Global Warrant Certificate or Certificates pursuant to the provisions ofSection 3.4and thisSection 4.4.

     Section 4.5Exercise of Warrant.

          (a)Right to Exercise for Cash. Warrants may be exercised by the Holders thereof by delivery of payment to the Warrant Agent, for the account of the Company, by certified or bank cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company (or as otherwise agreed to by the Company), in lawful money of the United States of America, of the full Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Exercise Form (which shall be equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which any Warrants are being exercised) and any and all applicable taxes and governmental charges due in connection with the exercise of Warrants and the exchange of Warrants for Warrant Shares (the “Exercise Amount”).

          (b)Right to Exercise on a Net Issuance Basis. In lieu of exercising Warrants for cash pursuant toSection 4.5(a), Holders shall have the right to exercise Warrants or any portion thereof (the “Net Issuance Right”) for Warrant Shares as provided in thisSection 4.5(b) at any

8

time or from time to time during the period specified inSection 4.2 hereof by the surrender to the Warrant Agent of a duly executed and completed Exercise Form marked to reflect net issuance exercise. Upon exercise of the Net Issuance Right with respect to a particular number of Warrant Shares subject to such Warrants and noted on the Exercise Form (the “Net Issuance Warrant Shares”), the Company shall deliver or caused to be delivered to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any Exercise Amount or any cash or other consideration) that number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares (subject to the provisions of Section 4.7) (x) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the value of such Warrants (or the specified portion hereof) on the Net Issuance Exercise Date, which value shall be determined by subtracting (A) the aggregate Exercise Amount of the Net Issuance Warrant Shares immediately prior to the exercise of the Net Issuance Right from (B) the aggregate fair market value of the Net Issuance Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants (or the specified portion thereof) on the Net Issuance Exercise Date (as defined above) by (y) the fair market value of one Warrant Share on the Net Issuance Exercise Date. Expressed as a formula, such net issuance exercise shall be computed as follows:

	B – A
X =	———
	Y

Where:	X  =	the number of Warrant Shares issuable to the Holder thereof
	Y  =	the fair market value (FMV) of one Warrant Share as of the Net Issuance Exercise Date
	A  =	the aggregate Exercise Amount (i.e., Net Issuance Warrant Shares x Exercise Amount)
	B  =	the aggregate FMV (i.e., FMV x Net Issuance Warrant Shares)

     If the foregoing calculation results in a negative number, then no Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Net Issuance Right by the applicable Holder.

          (c)Determination of Fair Market Value. For purposes of thisSection 4.5, “fair market value” (or “FMV”) of a Warrant Share as of the Net Issuance Exercise Date shall mean:

               (i) If traded on the NYSE, NASDAQ or another stock exchange, the fair market value of the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be the last reported sale price of the Warrant Shares on the NYSE, NASDAQ or such other exchange on the trading day immediately prior to the Net Issuance Exercise Date;

               (ii) If traded over-the-counter other than on NASDAQ, the fair market value of the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Warrant Shares on the trading day immediately prior to the Net Issuance Exercise Date; and

9

               (iii) If there is no public market for the Warrant Shares, then the fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company in consultation with a financial advisor of national reputation.

     Section 4.6Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of Warrants such number of Warrant Shares as may be from time to time issuable upon exercise in full of the Warrants. All Warrant Shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, and the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue all Warrant Shares in compliance with this sentence. If at any time prior to the Expiration Date the number and kind of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s capital stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise in full of the Warrants, the Company will promptly take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company agrees that its issuance of Warrants shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the issuance of Warrant Shares to issue shares of New Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not increase the stated or par value per share, if any, of the New Common Stock above the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such increase in stated or par value.

     Section 4.7Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of its capital stock in connection with the exercise of Warrants, and in any case where the Registered Holder would, except for the provisions of this Section 4.7, be entitled under the terms of Warrants to receive a fraction of a share upon the exercise of such Warrants, the Company shall, upon the exercise of such Holder’s Warrants, issue or cause to be issued only the largest whole number of Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise (and such fraction of a share will be disregarded); provided, that if more than one Warrant is presented for exercise at the same time by the same Holder, the number of whole Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of all such Warrants.

     Section 4.8Listing. Prior to the issuance of any Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the Company shall secure the listing of such shares of New Common Stock or other Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange or stock market, if any, upon which shares of New Common Stock (or securities of the same class as such other Warrant Shares, if applicable) are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance upon exercise of Warrants) and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of New Common Stock (or, as applicable, other securities) shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of Warrants.

10

ARTICLE V

ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES OF NEW COMMON STOCK PURCHASABLE AND OF EXERCISE PRICE

     The Exercise Price and the number and kind of Warrant Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events as provided in thisArticle V.

     Section 5.1Mechanical Adjustments.

          (a) Subject to the provisions ofSection 4.7, if at any time prior to the exercise in full of the Warrants, the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on the New Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock (whether shares of New Common Stock or of capital stock of any other class), (ii) subdivide, reclassify or recapitalize its outstanding New Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine, reclassify or recapitalize its outstanding New Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by reclassification of its New Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants and/or the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination, reclassification or recapitalization shall be adjusted so that the Holders shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which, if their Warrants had been exercised in full immediately prior to such event, the Holders would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination, reclassification or recapitalization. Any adjustment required by thisSection 5.1(a) shall be made successively immediately after the record date, in the case of a dividend or distribution, or the effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination, reclassification or recapitalization, to allow the purchase of such aggregate number and kind of shares.

          (b) If at any time prior to the exercise in full of the Warrants, the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance or making of a distribution to all holders of the New Common Stock or any other Warrant Shares for which Warrants are exercisable (including any such distribution to be made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is to be the continuing corporation) of evidences of its indebtedness, any other securities of the Company or any cash, property or other assets (excluding a combination, reclassification or recapitalization referred to inSection 5.1(a) and regular quarterly cash dividends) or of subscription rights, options or warrants to purchase or acquire New Common Stock or New Common Stock Equivalents (excluding those referred to inSection 5.1(a)) (any such event being herein called a “Special Dividend”), the Exercise Price shall be decreased immediately after the record date for such Special Dividend to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then current market price of the New Common Stock (as defined inSection 5.1(d)) on such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors based on the written advice of an independent investment banking firm of national reputation) of the evidences of indebtedness, securities or property, or other assets issued or distributed in such Special Dividend applicable to one share of New Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of New Common Stock and the denominator of which shall be such then current market price per share of New Common Stock (as so determined). Any adjustment required by thisSection 5.1(b) shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed and in the event

11

that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price shall again be adjusted to be the Exercise Price that was in effect immediately prior to such record date.

          (c) Subject to the provisions ofSection 4.7, whenever the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrants is adjusted pursuant toSection 5.1(a) orSection 5.1(b), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares initially issuable upon exercise of each Warrant by the Exercise Price in effect on the date thereof and dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price, as adjusted.

          (d) For the purpose of any computation under thisSection 5.1, the current market price per share of New Common Stock at any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for twenty (20) consecutive trading days commencing thirty (30) trading days before such date. The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sales take place on such day, the average of the last reported bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the principal national securities exchange or stock market on which the New Common Stock is admitted to trading or listed, or if not so available, the fair market price as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company after obtaining the written advice of an independent investment banking firm of national reputation.

          (e) No adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least five cents ($.05) in such price;provided,however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraphSection 5.1(e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under thisSection 5.1 shall be made to the nearest cent ($.01) or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 5.1 to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be reduced to less than the then existing par value of the New Common Stock as a result of any adjustment made hereunder.

          (f) In the event that at any time, as a result of any adjustment made pursuant toSection 5.1(a) orSection 5.4, the Holder thereafter shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company (or, as applicable, the Successor Person) other than New Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the New Common Stock contained in thisSection 5.1.

     Section 5.2Notices of Adjustment. Whenever the number and/or kind of Warrant Shares or the Exercise Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall (i) prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, forthwith to the Warrant Agent a statement setting forth the adjusted number and/or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants and the Exercise Price of such shares after such adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which adjustment was made, and (ii) cause the Warrant Agent to give written notice to each Holder in the manner provided inSection 10.2 below, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

     Section 5.3Form of Warrant After Adjustments. The form of the Global Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of the Warrant Shares, and Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in Warrants, as initially issued. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Global Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Global Warrant Certificate (including the rights, duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent), and any Global Warrant Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Global Warrant Certificate, may be in the form so changed.

     Section 5.4Organic Changes.

               (i) provide each Holder with the right (on the basis and subject to the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of such Holder’s Warrant) to acquire and receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the number of Registered Shares of Successor Person and/or Other Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised its Warrant immediately prior to such Organic Change, provided that the value of any Other Property received by any such Holder shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (based upon the written advice of an independent investment bank of national reputation selected by the Board of Directors); or

               (ii) purchase each Warrant on the Organic Change Date for, at the Successor Person’s sole discretion, (A) an amount in cash equal to the Purchase Price or (B) a

               (ii) purchase the Warrants on the Organic Change Date for an amount in cash equal to the Purchase Price.

14

New Common Stock bears to the shares and/or Other Property which is offered to the holders of shares of New Common Stock); or

               (ii) purchase the Warrants on the Organic Change Date for, at Successor Person’s sole option, (A) an amount in cash equal to the Purchase Price or (B) the number of shares of such Successor Person (of the same class and series that such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised its Warrant immediately prior to such Organic Change) equal to (x) the Purchase Price in respect of such Warrant divided by (y) the Market Value (as defined below) per share of such class or series of stock of the Successor Person (and if the other recipients of such shares in such Organic Change shall receive rights to cause the registration of such shares with the SEC, corresponding rights shall be provided to the Holders so receiving such shares as a result of such Organic Change).

          (e)Adjustments for Organic Change After Four Years after the Issue Date.If, following the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company consummates an Organic Change which shall be effected in such a way that the holders of the New Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities, cash or Other Property (whether such stock, securities, cash or Other Property are issued or distributed by the Company or any other person) with respect to or in exchange for the New Common Stock, then (whether or not the Successor Person is a Publicly Traded Company) as a condition of such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Holder shall have the right to acquire and receive upon exercise of its Warrant such shares of stock, securities, cash or Other Property issuable or payable (as part of the Organic Change) with respect to or in exchange for such number of outstanding shares of New Common Stock as such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon exercise of its Warrant had it been exercised immediately before such Organic Change, subject to applicable adjustments (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors).

          (f)Assumption by Successor Person. In the event of any Organic Change contemplated bySection 5.4(b),(c), (d), or(e) above, effective provisions shall be made in the certificate or articles of incorporation of the Successor Person, or in any contract of sale, merger, conveyance, lease, transfer or otherwise, so that the provisions set forth herein for the protection of the rights of the Holders of Warrants shall thereafter continue to be applicable; and any such Successor Person shall expressly assume all of the obligations set forth underSection 5.4(a)through5.4(e) above and the due and punctual performance and observation of all of the obligations of the Company hereunder. The provisions of thisSection 5.4 shall apply similarly to all successive events constituting Organic Changes.

     Section 6.1Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

          (a)Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or Beneficial Interests Therein. The transfer and exchange of Global Warrant Certificates or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Agreement and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

17

          (b)Exchange of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for a Book-Entry Warrant.

               (i) Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate may, upon request, exchange such beneficial interest for a Book-Entry Warrant. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent from the Depositary or its nominee of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary on behalf of any person having a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and Warrant Agent, the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate to be reduced by the number of Warrants to be represented by the Book-Entry Warrants to be issued in exchange for the beneficial interest of such person in the Global Warrant Certificate and, following such reduction, the Warrant Agent shall register in the name of the Holder a Book-Entry Warrant and deliver to said Holder a Warrant Statement.

               (ii) Book-Entry Warrants issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate pursuant to thisSection 6.1(b)shall be registered in such names as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall deliver such Warrant Statements to the persons in whose names such Warrants are so registered.

          (c)Transfer and Exchange of Book-Entry Warrants. 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 Registered Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing.

          (d)Restrictions on Exchange or Transfer of a Book-Entry Warrant for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Warrant Certificate. A Book-Entry Warrant may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of appropriate 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 Certificate to reflect an increase in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Book-Entry Warrant, then the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Book-Entry Warrant on the Warrant Register 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 Certificate to be increased accordingly. If no Global Warrant Certificates are then outstanding, the Company

18

shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign a new Global Warrant Certificate representing the appropriate number of Warrants.

          (e)Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrant Certificates. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other than the provisions set forth inSection 6.1(f)), unless and until it is exchanged in whole for a Book-Entry Warrant, a Global Warrant Certificate may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

          (f)Book-Entry Warrants. If at any time:

               (i) the Depositary for the Global Warrant Certificates notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Warrant Certificates and a successor Depositary for the Global Warrant Certificates is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after delivery of such notice; or

               (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in writing that it elects to exclusively cause the issuance of Book-Entry Warrants under this Agreement, then the Warrant Agent, upon written instructions signed by an Appropriate Officer of the Company, shall register Book-Entry Warrants, in an aggregate number equal to the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificates, in exchange for such Global Warrant Certificates.

          (g)Restrictions on Transfer. No Warrants or Warrant Shares shall be sold, exchanged or otherwise transferred in violation of the Securities Act or state securities laws.

          (h)Cancellation of Global Warrant Certificate. At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Warrant Certificates have either been exchanged for Book-Entry Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, all Global Warrant Certificates shall be returned to, or retained and cancelled by, the Warrant Agent, upon written instructions from the Company satisfactory to the Warrant Agent.

     Section 6.2Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants.

          (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute Global Warrant Certificates, if applicable, and the Warrant Agent is hereby authorized, in accordance with the provisions ofSection 3.4 and thisArticle VI, to countersign such Global Warrant Certificates, if applicable, or register Book-Entry Warrants, if applicable, as required pursuant to the provisions of thisArticle VI and for the purpose of any distribution of new Global Warrant Certificates contemplated bySection 8.2 or additional Global Warrant Certificates contemplated byArticle V.

          (ii) All Book-Entry Warrants and Global Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Book-Entry Warrants or Global Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this

19

Agreement as the Book-Entry Warrants or Global Warrant Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

          (iii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration, transfer or exchange but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on the Holder in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer.

          (iv) So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Warrant Certificate, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant Certificate for all purposes under this Agreement. Except as provided inSections 6.1(b) and(f) upon the exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant Certificate for Book-Entry Warrants, Beneficial Holders will not be entitled to have any Warrants registered in their names, and will under no circumstances be entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Warrants and will not be considered the Registered Holder thereof under the Warrants or this Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, in its capacity as registrar for such Warrants, will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to beneficial interests in a Global Warrant Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

          (v) Subject toSections 6.1(b),(c) and(d), and thisSection 6.2, the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of all information required to be delivered hereunder, from time to time to register the transfer of any outstanding Warrants in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of Global Warrant Certificates, if applicable, representing such Warrants at the Warrant Agent’s office as set forth inSection 10.2, duly endorsed, and accompanied by a completed form of assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or with respect to a Book-Entry Warrant, only such completed form of assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto), duly signed by the Registered Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a participant in the Securities Transfer Agent Medallion Program, the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program or the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate or a Warrant Statement, as the case may be, shall be issued to the transferee.

     Section 6.3Fractional Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a warrant certificate for a fraction of a Warrant.

ARTICLE VII

INFORMATION

     Section 7.1Reports.

20

under then applicable law in order for such Registered Holder to sell Warrants or Warrant Shares without registration, the Company agrees to:

ARTICLE VIII

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANTS

     Section 8.1No Rights or Liability as Stockholder; Notice to Registered Holders. Nothing contained in the Warrants shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or his, her or its transferees the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company. No provision thereof and no mere enumeration therein of the rights or privileges of the Holder shall give rise to any liability of such holder for the Exercise Price hereunder or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. To the extent not covered by any statement delivered pursuant toSection 5.2, the Company shall give notice to Registered Holders by registered mail if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:

          (a) the Company shall authorize the payment of any dividend payable in any securities upon shares of New Common Stock or authorize the making of any distribution (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend) to all holders of New Common Stock;

          (b) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of New Common Stock of any additional shares of New Common Stock or New Common Stock Equivalents or of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase New Common Stock or New Common Stock Equivalents or of any other subscription rights, options or warrants;

          (c) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be proposed; or

          (d) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the New Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding New Common Stock and other than a change in the par value of the New Common Stock) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the

21

Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of New Common Stock outstanding) or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or other entity of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety.

     Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date fixed as a record date or effective date or the date of closing of the Company’s stock transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the stock transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken in connection with such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or proposed merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. For the avoidance of doubt, no such notice shall supersede or limit any adjustment called for bySection 5.1 ofSection 5.4 by reason of any event as to which notice is required by this Section.

     Section 8.2Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Global Warrant Certificates. If any Global Warrant Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall issue, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Global Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Global Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Global Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence and an affidavit reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft or destruction of such Global Warrant Certificate, and an indemnity of the Company and Warrant Agent for any losses in connection therewith, if requested by either the Company or the Warrant Agent, also satisfactory to them. Applicants for such substitute Global Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe and as required by Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.

     Section 8.3No Restrictive Legends. No legend shall be stamped or imprinted on any stock certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant and or stock certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer of any such Warrant Shares.

     Section 8.4Cancellation of Warrants. If the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, the Global Warrant Certificates and the Book-Entry Warrants representing such Warrants shall thereupon be delivered to the Warrant Agent, if applicable, and be cancelled by it and retired. The Warrant Agent shall cancel all Global Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange, substitution, transfer or exercise in whole or in part. Such cancelled Global Warrant Certificates shall thereafter be disposed of in a manner satisfactory to the Company provided in writing to the Warrant Agent.

CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT AND OTHER MATTERS

     Section 9.1Payment of Taxes. The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Warrant Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants, but any taxes or charges in connection with the issuance of Warrants or Warrant Shares in any name other than that of the Holder of the Warrants shall be paid by such Holder; and in any such case, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Warrants or Warrant Shares until such taxes or charges shall have been paid or it is established to the Company’s satisfaction that no tax or charge is due.

     Section 9.2Resignation, Consolidation or Merger of Warrant Agent.

          (a)Appointment of Successor Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of sixty (60) days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent or by the Registered Holder of a Warrant (who shall, with such notice, submit his Warrant for inspection by the Company), then the Registered Holder of any Warrant may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and shall be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations.
