By accepting a Warrant Certificate, each holder shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Warrant Agreement (a copy of which is available on request to the Secretary of the Company) and any amendments thereto as fully and effectively as if such holder had signed the same.
The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants by the Company expiring at 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on February 28, 2011, entitling the holder upon proper exercise to receive shares of Common Stock and are issued or to be issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders (the words “holders” or “holder” meaning the registered holders or registered holder) of the Warrants.
Subject to the restrictions set forth in Article Eleventh of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the holder of the Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise any or all of such Warrants by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to purchase set forth below on this Warrant Certificate properly completed and executed, together with payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in accordance with the provisions set forth on the face of this Warrant Certificate. In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be issued to the holder hereof or his assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised.
The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain events the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, in each case, set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain conditions, be adjusted. If the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Warrant Agreement provides that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant will also be adjusted. No fractions of a share of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise or conversion of any Warrant, but the Company will pay the cash value in lieu thereof determined as provided in the Warrant Agreement.
Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the principal corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent by the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, but without payment of any service charge, for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.
Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant Certificate at the Warrant Agent Office, a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in

exchange for this Warrant Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement, without charge except for any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered holder(s) hereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone), for the purpose of any exercise or conversion hereof, of any distribution to the holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights of a stockholder of the Company.
The Warrant Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the supplementing or amendment thereof at any time by the Company and the Warrant Agent with the written consent of registered holders of a majority of the then outstanding Warrants (excluding Warrants held by the Company or any of its controlled affiliates). Any such consent by or on behalf of a holder of a Warrant shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Warrant and any Warrant issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange thereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon such Warrant or any other Warrant.
