| | 1. | Amendment of Existing Warrant Agreement. The Existing Warrant Agreement is hereby amended by adding the new Section 6A thereto: |
“6A Mandatory Exchange.
6A.1 Company Election to Exchange. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all (and not less than all) of the outstanding Public Warrants may be exchanged, at the option of the Company, at any time while they are exercisable and prior to their expiration, at the office of the Warrant Agent, upon notice to the Registered Holders of the outstanding Public Warrants, as described inSection 6A.2 below, for shares of Common Stock, at the exchange rate of 0.162 shares of Common Stock for each Public Warrant held by the holder thereof (the “Consideration”) (subject to equitable adjustment by the Company in the event of any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock). In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any holder of Public Warrants who would otherwise have been entitled to receive fractional shares as Consideration will, after aggregating all such fractional shares of such holder, be paid in cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share multiplied by $11.09.
6A.2 Date Fixed for, and Notice of, Exchange. In the event that the Company elects to exchange all of the Public Warrants, the Company shall fix a date for the exchange (the “Exchange Date”). Notice of exchange shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by the Company not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Exchange Date to the registered holders of the Public Warrants at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. The Company will make a public announcement of its election following the mailing of such notice.
6A.3 Exercise After Notice of Exchange. The Public Warrants may be exercised, for cash (or on a “cashless basis” in accordance with subsection 3.3.1(b) of this Agreement) at any time after notice of exchange shall have been given by the Company pursuant to Section 6A.2hereof and prior to the Exchange Date. On and after the Exchange Date, the Registered Holder of the Public Warrants shall have no further rights except to receive, upon surrender of the Public Warrants, the Consideration.”
