Section 3.2. Exercise. Subject to Section 3.3 hereof, the Reorganized Parent shall issue Class A New Common Stock upon exercise of Special Warrants by a Holder; provided, that (i) the Reorganized Parent shall issue Class B New Common Stock if the exercising Holder has made a Class B Election on its Exercise Form; (ii) the Reorganized Parent may issue Class B New Common Stock in lieu of Class A New Common Stock to the extent necessary to comply with Section 3.3 hereof; (iii) the number of Special Warrants permitted to be exercised for Class A New Common Stock or Class B New Common Stock additionally may be limited, as applicable, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 3.3 hereof; and (iv) if the exercising Holder has made a Class A New Common Stock Non-Attribution Election on its Exercise Form, the Reorganized Parent shall issue no more than 4.99 percent (or if the Reorganized Parent determines that the exercising Holder qualifies for an exception to the FCC’s rules allowing such Holder to own, directly or indirectly, 5.00 percent or more, but less than 20.00 percent, of the Class A New Common Stock without being deemed to hold an “attributable” interest in the Reorganized Parent, no more than 19.99 percent or such other maximum amount that would be consistent with the Communications Laws) of the then-outstanding Class A New Common Stock to an exercising Holder, with any remaining distribution in the form of Class B New Common Stock up to such amount which is in compliance with Section 3.3 hereof and the exercising Holder shall retain its remaining Special Warrants (if any). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it shall be a condition to the exercise of any Special Warrant that the Holder of such Special Warrant shall execute a joinder to the New Shareholders’ Agreement (or, in the case where such Holder does not execute such joinder, shall be deemed to have become a party to the New Shareholders’ Agreement, irrespective of whether such Holder physically executes the New Shareholders’ Agreement or a joinder thereto).

Section 3.3. Method of Exercise.

(a) In connection with the exercise of any Special Warrant, a Holder shall (i) surrender such Special Warrant (or portion thereof) to the Reorganized Parent corresponding to the number of Special Warrant Shares being exercised, (ii) pay to the Reorganized Parent the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Special Warrant Shares being exercised, at the option of such Holder, in United States dollars by wire transfer to an account specified in writing by the Reorganized Parent to such Holder, in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for such Special Warrant Shares as specified in the Exercise Form and (iii) comply with Section 6.4.

(b) Upon exercise of any Special Warrants, Reorganized Parent shall, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days), calculate and transmit to the Holder in a written notice the number of Special Warrant Shares issuable in connection with any exercise made pursuant to Article IV).

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Holder of any Special Warrants wishing to exercise, in whole or in part, such Holder’s right to purchase the Special Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Special Warrants shall properly complete and duly execute the exercise form for the election to exercise such Special Warrants (an “Exercise Form”) substantially in the form of Exhibit A.

(d) Any exercise of Special Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be irrevocable as of the date of delivery of the Exercise Form and shall constitute a binding agreement between the Holder and the Reorganized Parent, enforceable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Reorganized Parent reserves the right to reject any Exercise Form that it reasonably determines is not in proper form or for which any corresponding agreement by the Reorganized Parent to exchange would, in the reasonable opinion of the Reorganized Parent, after consulting with independent outside legal counsel, be unlawful. Any such determination by the Reorganized Parent shall be final and binding on the Holder of the Special Warrants, absent manifest error; provided that the Reorganized Parent shall provide a Holder with the reasonable opportunity to correct any defects in its Exercise Form (without prejudicing such Holder’s ability to deliver subsequent Exercise Forms). The Reorganized Parent further reserves the right to request such information (including, without limitation, information with respect to citizenship, other ownership interests and Affiliates) as the Reorganized Parent may reasonably deem appropriate, after consulting with independent outside legal counsel, to determine whether the exercise of the Special Warrants would (i) be unlawful, (ii) subject the Reorganized Parent to any limitation under the Communications Laws that would not apply to the Reorganized Parent but for such exchange, or (iii) limit or impair any business activities of the Reorganized Parent under the Communications Laws, which information shall be furnished promptly by any Holder from whom such information is requested as a condition to such Holder’s exercise of Special Warrants. Moreover, the Reorganized Parent reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to any particular exercise of Special Warrants or any defects in the Exercise Form(s) with regard to any particular exercise of Special Warrants. The Reorganized Parent shall provide prompt written notice to the Holder of any such rejection or waiver and in any event within five (5) Business Days of any such determination.

(f) Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary, (i) no Holder shall be entitled to exercise any Special Warrant until all Regulatory Approvals required to be made to or obtained from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Reorganized Parent or its Subsidiaries have been made or obtained, and in the event that all required Regulatory Approvals are not received, the Holder shall continue to hold its Special Warrants; and (ii) the Reorganized Parent may (x) prior to the FCC’s grant of a declaratory ruling approving aggregate foreign ownership of the Reorganized Parent in excess of 25%, prohibit the exercise of Special Warrants which may, in the Reorganized Parent’s reasonable determination, after consulting with independent outside legal counsel, cause more than

22.5% of the Reorganized Parent’s outstanding equity interests or the equity of any Subsidiary of the Reorganized Parent to be, directly or indirectly, owned or voted by or for the account of non-U.S. persons as determined pursuant to the Communications Laws, or by any other entity the equity of which is owned, controlled by, or held for the benefit of, non-U.S. persons, , (y) require Specific Approval prior to any exercise of a Special Warrant by a Non-U.S. Person (or by any other entity the equity of which is owned, controlled by, or held for the benefit of, Non-U.S. Persons) to the extent necessary under the Communications Laws or the terms of any declaratory ruling obtained by Reorganized Parent or (z) prohibit the exercise of any Special Warrants if such exercise would, in the Reorganized Parent’s reasonable determination, result in a violation of applicable laws or regulations.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it shall be a condition to the exercise of any Special Warrant that upon receipt of Special Warrant Shares upon exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to have become a party to the New Shareholders’ Agreement (if not already a party thereto), irrespective of whether such Holder physically executes the New Shareholders’ Agreement.

(h) As soon as reasonably practicable upon receipt of all necessary Regulatory Approvals, including grant by the FCC of the petition for declaratory ruling approving aggregate foreign ownership of the Reorganized Parent in excess of 25% and receipt of the FCC’s Specific Approval of any Holder requiring such approval, the Reorganized Parent shall issue a notice (“Exchange Notice”) specifying a deadline for Holders to return an Election Form, which deadline shall be 10 Business Days after the date of the Exchange Notice. and provided that (i) a Holder has complied with the requirements of Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(d), and (ii) the Reorganized Parent has reasonably determined that (x) such Holder’s exercise of its Special Warrants does not violate any of the Communications Laws or the Securities Act or any decision, rule, regulation, policy, order or declaratory ruling issued by the FCC or the SEC, as applicable and (y) all conditions imposed by the FCC or any other Governmental Authority have been satisfied, such Holder’s Special Warrants shall be automatically deemed exercised for either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (or both) pursuant to the election made by such Holder on its Exercise Form. Special Warrants held by a Holder that does not timely deliver an Exercise Form may, in the Company’s reasonable discretion, be deemed exercised for only Class B Common Stock.

(i) If any full or partial exercise of Special Warrants is permitted for any Holder, each other Holder will be given the same opportunity to exercise its Special Warrants pro rata (subject to the same conditions), to the extent consistent with the Communications Laws or any order or ruling issued by the FCC or any other Governmental Authority. If any conditions to exercise of Special Warrants are modified or waived for any Holder, each other Holder will be offered the benefits of such modification or waiver (subject to the same conditions), to the extent consistent with the Communications Laws or any order or ruling issued by the FCC or any other Governmental Authority.

Section 3.4. Issuance of Common Stock.

(a) Following the valid exercise of any Special Warrants, the Reorganized Parent shall, subject to Section 3.7, promptly at its expense, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Exercise Date, cause to be issued as directed by the Holder of such Special Warrants the total number of whole Special Warrant Shares for which such Special Warrants are being exercised (as the same may have been adjusted pursuant to Article IV) in such denominations as are requested by the Holder and registered as directed by the Holder.

(b) The Special Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued at the time at which all of the conditions to such exercise set forth in Section 3.3 have been fulfilled (the “Exercise Date”), and the Holder, or, subject to Section 3.4(a), such other person to whom the Holder shall direct the issuance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have become the holder of such Special Warrant Shares at such time.

Section 3.5. Reservation of Shares.

(a) The Reorganized Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon the exercise of the Special Warrants, a number of shares of Class A New Common Stock and Class B New Common Stock equal to the aggregate Special Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Special Warrants. The Reorganized Parent shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violating the Governing Documents, any agreements to which the Reorganized Parent is a party on the date hereof or on the date of such issuance, any requirements of any national securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock, or any other securities of the Reorganized Parent, may be listed or any applicable Laws. The Reorganized Parent shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon exercise of the Special Warrants.

(b) The Reorganized Parent covenants that it will take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that all Special Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Special Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable, and free from any and all (i) security interests created by or imposed upon the Reorganized Parent and (ii) taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If at any time the number and kind of authorized but unissued shares of the Reorganized Parent’s capital stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise in full of the Special Warrants, the Reorganized Parent will as promptly as practicable take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be reasonably necessary (including seeking stockholder approval, if required) to increase its authorized but unissued shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

Section 3.6. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Reorganized Parent shall not be required to issue any fraction of a Special Warrant Share in connection with the exercise of any Special Warrants. In any case where the Holder of Special Warrants would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.6, be entitled under the terms thereof to receive a fraction of a share upon the exercise of such Special Warrants, the number of Special Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof will be rounded (i) up to the next higher whole share of Common Stock if the fraction is equal to or greater than 1/2 and (ii) down to the next lower whole share of Common Stock if the fraction is less than 1/2; provided that the number of whole Special Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the contemporaneous exercise of any Special Warrants by any Holder shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Special Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all such Special Warrants.

Section 3.7. Close of Books; Par Value.

(a) The Reorganized Parent shall not close its books against the transfer of any Special Warrants or any Special Warrant Shares in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of such Special Warrants.

(b) Without limiting Section 3.5,

(i) the Reorganized Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, from time to time, take all such action as may be necessary to assure that the par value per share of the unissued shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of the Special Warrants is at all times equal to or less than the Exercise Price then in effect; and

(ii) the Reorganized Parent will not increase the stated or par value per share, if any, of the Common Stock above the Exercise Price per share in effect immediately prior to such increase in stated or par value.

Section 3.8. Payment of Taxes. In connection with the exercise of any Special Warrants, the Reorganized Parent shall pay any and all taxes (other than income or similar taxes) that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Special Warrant Shares (including certificates therefor). The Reorganized Parent shall not be required, however, to pay any tax or other charge imposed by a Governmental Authority in respect of any transfer involved in the Reorganized Parent’s issuance and delivery of any Special Warrant Shares (including certificates therefor) (or any payment of cash or other property in lieu of such shares) to any recipient other than the Holder of the Special Warrants being exercised, and in case of any such tax or other charge for which the Reorganized Parent would otherwise be liable, the Reorganized Parent shall not be required to issue or deliver any such Special Warrant Shares (or cash or other property in lieu of such Special Warrant Shares) until (i) such tax or charge has been paid or an amount sufficient for the payment thereof has been delivered to the Reorganized Parent or (ii) it has been established to the Reorganized Parent’s reasonable satisfaction that any such tax or other charge that is or may become due has been paid.

Section 3.9. Redemption Event. If either (i) the Reorganized Parent proposes to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding Common Stock or (ii) the Reorganized Parent otherwise purchases or makes any offer to purchase all or any portion of the outstanding Common Stock (in each case, excluding repurchases and redemptions from any officer or employee of the Reorganized Parent or its Subsidiaries pursuant to an equity incentive plan of the Reorganized Parent approved by the Board of Directors), then the Reorganized Parent shall provide proportional consideration for or a proportional redemption of Special Warrants held by the Holders, as applicable, on the same terms as and at a price equal to the price paid to holders of Common Stock for their shares of Common Stock in connection with the Redemption Event, as if the Special Warrants had been exercised for shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such redemption or purchase.

Section 3.10. Withholding. Subject to Section 3.8, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Special Warrant to the contrary, the Reorganized Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amounts or property payable or deliverable to any Person pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Special Warrant such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld under applicable law (and the Reorganized Parent shall be entitled to withhold, for the avoidance of doubt, from any amounts or property that are payable or deliverable to such Person pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Special Warrant that are subsequent to the payment or delivery or other circumstance that gave rise to the requirement to deduct or withhold under applicable law); provided that, the Reorganized Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify such Person of such withholding obligation prior to the date on which such deduction and withholding is required to be made and the parties shall take commercially reasonable steps to reduce or eliminate any such withholding. Any amounts that are so withheld by the Reorganized Parent shall be paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority and shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.

Section 4.3. Other Distributions. In the event the Reorganized Parent shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof while any Special Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired in whole or in part, declare one or more dividends or distributions on the Common Stock payable in cash or any securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or property, with the record

date or dates therefor occurring prior to the Exercise Date of the particular Special Warrants, then upon exercise of such Special Warrants, the Reorganized Parent shall pay or issue to the Holder, or, subject to Section 3.4(a), such other Person as the Holder directs, in addition to the issuance to, or at the direction of, the Holder of the Special Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants, an amount in cash or such securities or such other property equal to (i) the amount of all dividends or distributions of cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or other property theretofore paid or payable, or issued or issuable, on one share of Common Stock, in each case from the date hereof, multiplied by (ii) the number of Special Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such Special Warrants; provided that if a dividend or distribution has been declared but not yet paid or issued, the Reorganized Parent may defer payment or issuance of the dividend or distribution to the Holder, or, subject to Section 3.4(a), such other person to whom the Holder shall direct the issuance thereof, until such time as the dividend or distribution is paid or issued to the holders of the Common Stock generally.

Section 4.4. Organic Change. In the event the Reorganized Parent shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof while the Special Warrants remain outstanding and unexpired in whole or in part, consummate an Organic Change, each Holder shall be entitled, following consummation of the Organic Change, upon exercise of the Special Warrants to receive the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property that it would have been entitled to receive had such Special Warrants been exercised immediately prior to the consummation of the Organic Change. The Reorganized Parent shall not effect, or enter into an agreement to effect, an Organic Change unless, prior to the consummation of such Organic Change, the surviving Person (if a Person other than the Reorganized Parent) resulting from the Organic Change, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Agreement in all material respects, the obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to deliver to the Holder such cash, stock, securities or other assets or property which, in accordance with this Section 4.4, the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon exchange or exercise of the Special Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall similarly apply to successive Organic Changes.

Section 4.5. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the number and/or kind of Special Warrant Shares is adjusted as herein provided, the Reorganized Parent shall (i) prepare, or cause to be prepared, a written statement setting forth the adjusted number and/or kind and amount of shares of Common Stock or cash, securities (other than shares of Common Stock) issuable or payable upon the exercise of the Special Warrants after such adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation by which adjustment was made, and (ii) give written notice to the Holders, in the manner provided in Section 7.2 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 4.6. Deferral or Exclusion of Certain Adjustments.

(a) No adjustment to the number of Special Warrant Shares shall be required hereunder unless such adjustment together with other adjustments carried forward as provided below, would result in an increase or decrease of at least 0.1% of the applicable Exercise Price or the number of Special Warrant Shares; provided that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4.6 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 4.6 shall be made the nearest one one-thousandth (1/1,000) of a share, as the case may be.

(b) In the event that the par value of the shares of Common Stock shall be reduced below the par value on the date hereof, then, without action by the Reorganized Parent or otherwise the Exercise Price shall be automatically reduced to the par value of the shares of the Common Stock as so reduced; provided that for so long as any Special Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired in whole or in part, the Reorganized Parent shall not increase the par value of the shares of Common Stock or reduce the par value of the shares of Common Stock to zero.

ARTICLE V

TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIAL WARRANTS

Section 5.1. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges. When Special Warrants are presented to the Reorganized Parent with a written request (i) to register the Transfer of such Special Warrants or (ii) to exchange such Special Warrants for an equal number of Special Warrants of other authorized denominations, the Reorganized Parent shall register the Transfer or make the exchange, as requested if its customary requirements for such transactions are met; provided that (A) the Reorganized Parent shall have received (x) a written instruction of Transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Reorganized Parent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing along with evidence of authority that may be required by the Reorganized Parent, and (y) if a Person other than the Reorganized Parent is serving as registrar or transfer agent for the Special Warrants, a written order of the Reorganized Parent signed by an officer of the Reorganized Parent authorizing such exchange and (B) if reasonably requested by the Reorganized Parent, the Reorganized Parent shall have received a written opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Reorganized Parent that such Transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act or state securities laws and the Communications Laws.

Section 5.2. Procedures for Exchanges and Transfers. Subject to the other sections of this Article V, the Reorganized Parent shall, upon receipt of all information required to be delivered hereunder, from time to time register the Transfer or exchange of any outstanding Special Warrants in the Special Warrant Register, upon delivery by the Holder thereof, at the Reorganized Parent’s office designated for such purpose, of a form of assignment (an “Assignment Form”) substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, properly completed and duly executed by the Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney.

Section 5.3. Restrictions on Exchanges and Transfers.

(a) No Special Warrants shall be sold, exchanged or otherwise Transferred (A) in violation of (i) the Securities Act or state securities Laws, (ii) the Communications Laws or and (iii) the Governing Documents and (B) unless the transferee delivers to the Reorganized Parent a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable. If any Holder purports to Transfer Special Warrants to any Person in a transaction that would violate the provisions of this Section 5.3, such Transfer shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

(b) The Reorganized Parent reserves the right, after consulting with independent outside legal counsel, to reject any and all Assignment Forms that it reasonably determines are not in proper form or for which any corresponding agreement by the Reorganized Parent to Transfer or exchange would, in the reasonable opinion of the Reorganized Parent, be unlawful. Any such determination by the Reorganized Parent shall be final and binding on the Holder of the Special Warrants, absent manifest error provided that the Reorganized Parent shall provide a Holder with the reasonable opportunity to correct any defects in its Assignment Forms (without prejudicing such Holder’s ability to deliver subsequent Assignment Forms). The Reorganized Parent further reserves the right to request such information (including, without limitation, information with respect to citizenship, other ownership interests and Affiliates) as the Reorganized Parent may reasonably deem appropriate, after consulting with independent outside legal counsel, to determine whether the Transfer or exchange of the Special Warrants would (i) during the pendency of a petition for declaratory ruling, (x) require the Reorganized Parent to obtain Specific Approval of the proposed transferee prior to the exercise of the Special Warrants subject to such Transfer or exchange, or (y) otherwise require an amendment of a petition for declaratory ruling or any other application for Regulatory Approval, (ii) be unlawful, (iii) subject the Reorganized Parent to any limitation under the Communications Laws that would not apply to the Reorganized Parent but for the exercise of the Special Warrants subject to such Transfer or exchange by the proposed transferee, or (iv) limit or impair any business activities of the Reorganized Parent under the Communications Laws, which shall be furnished promptly by any Holder from whom such information is requested as a condition to such Holder’s Transfer or exchange of Special Warrants. Moreover, the Reorganized Parent reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions to any particular Transfer or exchange of Special Warrants or any defects in the Assignment Form(s) with regard to any particular Transfer or exchange of Special Warrants. The Reorganized Parent shall provide prompt written notice to the Holder of any such rejection or waiver.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary, the Reorganized Parent may prohibit the Transfer or exchange of Special Warrants if the exercise of Special Warrants subject to such Transfer or exchange by the proposed transferee would, in the Reorganized Parent’s reasonable determination, (i) during the pendency of a petition for declaratory ruling, (x) require the Reorganized Parent to obtain Specific Approval of the proposed transferee prior to exercise of the Special Warrants subject to such Transfer or exchange, or (y) otherwise require an amendment of a petition for declaratory ruling or any other application for Regulatory Approval, in either case that would, in the reasonable determination of the Reorganized Parent, result in a delay in obtaining the FCC’s issuance of the Regulatory Approval or (ii) result in a violation of applicable laws or regulations.

Section 5.4. Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Special Warrants. All Special Warrants issued upon any registration of Transfer or exchange of Special Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Reorganized Parent, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Special Warrants surrendered upon such registration of Transfer or exchange.

Section 5.5. Fractional Special Warrants. The Reorganized Parent shall not effect any registration of Transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a fraction of a Special Warrant.

Section 5.6. New Shareholders’ Agreement Transfer Restrictions. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, no Holder shall be permitted to Transfer a Special Warrant, directly or indirectly, to any Person if such Transfer would be prohibited by the New Shareholders’ Agreement with respect to the Special Warrant Shares corresponding to such Special Warrants. For the purposes of this Section 5.6 an indirect transfer shall include the Transfer, directly or indirectly, of a controlling interest of any person of whom the Holder of a Special Warrant is a Subsidiary with the primary purpose of effecting of the Transfer of the ownership of the Special Warrant. All Holders shall comply with transfer restrictions in the New Shareholders’ Agreement as though they were a party thereto and such transfer restrictions are incorporated by reference herein.

Section 5.7. Joinder to New Shareholders’ Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it shall be a condition to the Transfer of any Special Warrant that the transferee of such Special Warrant (i) shall comply with Section 5.6 and (ii) to the extent such transferee exercises any Special Warrant, shall execute a joinder to the New Shareholders’ Agreement (or, in the case where such transferee does not execute such joinder, shall be deemed to have become a party to the New Shareholders’ Agreement, irrespective of whether such transferee physically executes the New Shareholders’ Agreement or a joinder thereto).

The vote or consent of each Holder (in its capacity as such) shall not be permitted with respect to any action or proceeding of the Reorganized Parent. No Holder (in its capacity as such) shall have any right not expressly conferred hereunder, under the New Shareholders’ Agreement or under or by applicable Law with respect to the Special Warrants held by such Holder.

Holders of Special Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Special Warrants shall have the same voting and other rights as other holders of Common Stock in the Reorganized Parent.

Section 6.2. Notice to Holders. The Reorganized Parent shall give notice to Holders and the Ad Hoc Groups Advisors, as provided in Section 7.2, if at any time prior to the exercise in full of the Special Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:

(a) an Organic Change;

(b) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Reorganized Parent; or

(c) the occurrence of any other event that would result in an adjustment to number and/or kind and amount of shares of Common Stock, cash or securities issuable or payable upon the exercise of the Special Warrants under Article IV.

Such giving of notice shall be initiated at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of such Organic Change, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or any other event that would result in the number of Special Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants under Article IV or Exercise Price to change (or, if earlier, any record date therefor). Any such notice shall specify any applicable record date or the date of closing the transfer books or proposed effective date. Failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of any action taken except to the extent a Holder is materially prejudiced by such failure. For the avoidance of doubt, no such notice (or the failure to provide it to the Holders) shall supersede or limit any adjustment called for by Article IV by reason of any event as to which notice is required by this Section 6.2.

Section 6.3. Cancellation of Special Warrants. If the Reorganized Parent shall purchase or otherwise acquire Special Warrants, such Special Warrants shall be cancelled and retired by appropriate notation on the Special Warrant Register.
