Recro Pharma to Acquire IV/IM Meloxicam and Gainesville, GA GMP
Manufacturing Facility and Business Unit from Alkermes
| Transformative Acquisition Diversifies Recro Pharmas Development Risk with Second, Complementary Acute Pain Product |

| Recro to Host Conference Call and Webcast Today at 8:00 AM ET |
MALVERN, PA, March 9, 2015 Recro Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: REPH) today announced a definitive agreement under which Recro Pharma will acquire assets from Alkermes plc including worldwide rights to IV/IM meloxicam, a proprietary, Phase III-ready, long-acting COX-2 NSAID for moderate to severe acute pain, as well as a contract manufacturing facility, royalty and formulation business in Gainesville, GA.
Under the terms of the agreement, Recro Pharma will pay Alkermes $50 million at closing, and gain the rights to IV/IM meloxicam and ownership of a GMP manufacturing facility and related business located in Gainesville, GA. Alkermes is entitled to receive up to an additional $120 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory and net sales milestones and royalties, in each case, related to IV/IM meloxicam. At closing, Recro Pharma will issue Alkermes a seven-year warrant to purchase an aggregate of 350,000 shares of Recro Pharma common stock. The $50 million up-front payment will be funded via a five-year senior secured term loan with an affiliate of OrbiMed (OrbiMed). The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust regulatory approval, and is anticipated to close in the second quarter of 2015.
This transaction is transformative for Recro Pharma, as it brings together two complementary therapies for treating moderate to severe acute pain, IV meloxicam and our lead product Dex-IN, as well as a commercial manufacturing infrastructure that will add scale and capability and may, over time, provide cash flow to fund development of our pipeline, said Gerri Henwood, Recro Pharmas President and Chief Executive Officer. This transaction was funded through a minimally dilutive transaction with OrbiMed and we believe this transaction represents a significant endorsement of Recro. We look forward to the upcoming interim results and expected mid 2015 top-line data readout of our Post Op Day 1 Phase II trial of Dex-IN, to the potential of moving one or both of these programs into Phase III by year end and to realizing value from our new manufacturing capabilities.
Strategic and Financial Benefits of the Transaction
| Diversifies Recro Pharma development risk with second, complementary acute pain product |
| IV/IM meloxicam was designed using NanoCrystal® platform, a technology that enables enhanced bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drug compounds; |
| In five Phase II studies in over 700 patients with acute pain, IV or IM meloxicam has demonstrated favorable analgesic properties, including rapid onset of pain relief and time to peak analgesic effect, 18 to 24 hour duration of pain relief and good tolerability; |
| Positive Phase II post op hysterectomy and dental pain studies demonstrated large effect sizes; |
| Dex-IN, Recro Pharmas intranasal formulation of dexmedetomidine, has upcoming interim analysis of ongoing Post Op Day 1 Phase II trial; and |
| Depending on Dex-IN clinical success, possibility for two proprietary compounds to enter Phase III by year end. |
| Manufacturing & royalty business provides new capabilities and scale |
| 85,000 sq. ft., ~165 employee, DEA-licensed facility located in Gainesville, GA, which manufactures five commercial products; |
| $70M+ historical revenues; manufacturing division cash flow positive; |
| Enhances ability for business development opportunities; and |
| Depending on performance, potential for cash flows to fund development over time. |
OrbiMed Financing
The $50 million up-front payment will be funded via a five-year senior secured term loan with OrbiMed which carries interest at LIBOR + 14.0%, with a 1.0% LIBOR floor. In conjunction with the loan, Recro Pharma granted OrbiMed warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3% of Recros outstanding common stock (on a fully diluted basis) as of the closing of the transaction.

About Recro Pharma, Inc.
Recro Pharma is a clinical stage specialty pharmaceutical company developing non-opioid therapeutics for the treatment of acute post operative pain. Recro Pharmas lead product candidate, Dex-IN, is a proprietary intranasal formulation of dexmedetomidine and has completed multiple clinical trials in which Dex-IN was well tolerated. As Recro Pharmas product candidates are not in the opioid class of drugs, the Company believes its candidates would avoid many of the side effects associated with commonly prescribed opioid therapeutics, such as addiction, constipation and respiratory distress while maintaining analgesic effect. If approved, Dex-IN would be the first and only approved acute pain drug in its class.

Pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Sellers agreed to sell, and Recro Pharma agreed to purchase, the Sellers right, title and interest in: (a) all of the issued and outstanding membership units of a newly-formed Delaware limited liability company, which will, prior to the closing of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Closing), acquire, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Daravita; and (b) all of the issued and outstanding membership units of Alkermes Gainesville LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company. The consideration payable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement consists of: (i) $50 million cash consideration to be paid at Closing (the Cash Purchase Price); (ii) up to $120 million in milestone payments upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones related to Meloxicam; (iii) low double-digit royalties on net sales of Meloxicam; and (iv) a warrant to purchase up to 350,000 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), at an exercise price equal to two times the closing price of the Common Stock on the day prior to the Closing (the Alkermes Warrant). The acquisition pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement is expected to close in the second quarter of 2015.
Concurrently with the Closing, the Company and Recro LLC will enter into a transition services agreement with certain of the Sellers or their affiliates to provide certain transition services until June 2016. Within 60 days following the Closing, the Company and Recro LLC, or a successor thereof, will enter into a supply agreement with certain of the Sellers pursuant to which Sellers will provide the Company with clinical and commercial supplies.
The completion of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, accuracy of the representations and warranties made and compliance with the covenants agreed to by the parties, in each case, subject to certain materiality standards as set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase and Sale Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase and Sale Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (ii) have been qualified by reference to confidential disclosures made by the parties in connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement and (iii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the Purchase and Sale Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of transaction, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company, Alkermes Gainesville, Daravita or their businesses. Shareholders should not rely on the representations, warranties
and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, Alkermes Gainesville or Daravita or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
Gerri Henwood, President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, served as a member of the board of directors of Alkermes until her resignation on March 7, 2015. The Purchase and Sale Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the Companys board of directors, including all of the disinterested members.
The foregoing description of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Credit Agreement and Guarantee of Credit Agreement
In connection with the Purchase and Sale Agreement, on March 7, 2015, Recro LLC entered into a Credit Agreement with OrbiMed Royalty Opportunities II, LP (the Credit Agreement) whereby OrbiMed agreed to provide a term loan (the Term Loan) to Recro LLC in the original principal amount of $50 million upon satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction of all closing conditions under the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Credit Closing), and the Company entered into a Guarantee (the Guarantee) in favor of OrbiMed whereby the Company guaranteed all the obligations of Recro LLC arising under the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan proceeds will be used to pay the Cash Purchase Price at the Closing.
At the Credit Closing, the Company and Recro LLC will grant OrbiMed a security interest in substantially all of their assets to secure their obligations to OrbiMed under the Guarantee and the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company will grant a warrant to OrbiMed (the Orbimed Warrant, and together with the Alkermes Warrant, the Warrants) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 3% of the Companys issued and outstanding Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis) on the date of the Credit Closing at a price equal to $3.28, per share, subject to certain adjustments as specified in the Warrant. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, immediately following the Credit Closing, Recro LLC shall merge with and into Alkermes Gainesville, with Alkermes Gainesville surviving.
OrbiMeds obligation to make the Term Loan terminates on April 21, 2015 if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to such date. The unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan is due and payable on the five year anniversary of the Credit Closing. The Credit Agreement also provides for certain mandatory prepayment events, including a quarterly excess cash flow prepayment requirement at OrbiMeds request. Recro LLC may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, subject to: (i) on or prior to the 36 month anniversary of the Credit Closing, payment of a Buy-Out Premium Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement); and (ii) after the 36 month anniversary of the Credit Closing, payment of an Exit Fee Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The interest rate on the Term Loan is a rate per annum equal to 14.00% plus the higher of: (i) the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (ii) 1.00%. Recro LLC will pay OrbiMed a commitment fee of $1 million on the date of the Credit Closing.
The Credit Agreement is subject to customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants as more particularly described in the Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and Guarantee is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
This information in Item 1.01 above is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.
The Warrants will be exercisable until the seventh anniversary of the Closing or the Credit Closing, as the case may be. The number of shares for which the Warrants are exercisable and the associated exercise prices will be subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Warrants. The holders of the Warrants have the right to net exercise any outstanding Warrants for shares of Common Stock. As specified in each of the Warrants, upon a change in control of the Company, to the extent that the Warrants are not assumed by the acquiring entity or, in the case of the Orbimed Warrant, automatically exercised, the holder can elect to receive, subject to certain limitations and assumptions, cash equal to the Black-Scholes value of the outstanding Warrants.
The Company relied on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Regulation D, Rule 506 thereunder, for the issuance of the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Warrants (the Warrant Shares). As part of executing the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Credit Agreement and receiving the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, Orbimed and each of the Sellers each represented that it is an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act and that the securities purchased by them will be acquired solely for their own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares or any part thereof.
The foregoing description of the Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrants, forms of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

In the event of any such objection, Sellers and Purchasers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Sellers and Purchasers are unable to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Sellers, such dispute shall be resolved by an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants mutually appointed by Sellers and Purchasers whose determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to make, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Resolution Period or, if applicable, the date of selection of the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to the preceding sentence, a final determination in accordance with this Agreement, binding on the Parties, of the appropriate amount of each of the Disputed Items which Sellers and Purchasers have submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm, calculated in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement, and to promptly notify the Parties in writing of its determination. With respect to each amount in dispute, the Independent Accounting Firms determination, if not in accordance with the position of either Sellers or Purchasers, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by Sellers in the Notice of Disagreement or by Purchasers in the Initial Post-Closing Adjustment Statement with respect to such disputed amount.
(ii) During the review by the Independent Accounting Firm, Purchasers and Sellers will each provide the Independent Accounting Firm with such access to their respective books, records, accountants, audit work papers and relevant employees as may be reasonably required by the Independent Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.5; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 2.5 shall require Sellers, Purchasers or any of their respective Affiliates to disclose any attorney-client privileged information to the extent that disclosure thereof might result in the loss of attorney-client privilege.

-63-
under this Article X except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure, it being agreed that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 10.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, other than a Tax Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, to undertake, conduct and control the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party); provided that the Indemnifying Party shall only be entitled to undertake, conduct and control such settlement or defense if it acknowledges, in writing, to the Indemnified Party, its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms and subject to the limitations of this Article X. The Indemnifying Party shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and control such defense through counsel of its own choice, and the reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such defense shall be considered Losses hereunder with respect to the subject matter of such claim, indemnifiable to the extent provided in this Article X, but the Indemnifying Party may nonetheless participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the settlement or defense of a Third Party Claim under this Section 10.4(b) unless: (A) the Third Party Claim involves solely monetary damages, (B) the Indemnifying Party demonstrates to the Indemnified Partys reasonable satisfaction that the Indemnifying Party has sufficient financial resources in order to indemnify for the full amount of such potential Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is reasonably likely to be liable pursuant to this Article X, and (C) the amount of such potential Losses for which the Indemnifying Party is reasonably likely to be liable does not exceed the Cap. If either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party assumes the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall select counsel and shall use commercially reasonable efforts in the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim. Purchasers or Sellers, as the case may be, shall, and shall cause each of their Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, as applicable, in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including by furnishing Books and Records, personnel and witnesses, as appropriate for any defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense and control of a Third Party Claim, it shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Indemnified Party; provided that such settlement or judgment shall consist solely of a recovery of monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to this Article X, and the Indemnifying Party shall (i) pay or cause to be paid all amounts in such settlement or judgment (other than solely with respect to the Deductible would be applicable in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 10.5) and (ii) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of any Indemnified Party affected by such Third Party Claim. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, no Party shall settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
-64-
conditioned or delayed; provided, that is shall not be unreasonable for an Indemnified Party to withhold its consent to any settlement that involves any injunctive relief binding on any of the Indemnified Parties or a finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10.4 shall be subject to the provisions of any Contract providing for the defense or prosecution of any Action.
10.5 Limitations.
(a) Sellers shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) with respect to Losses for which indemnification is provided thereunder, (i) to the extent such Losses were included in the calculation of Working Capital on the Final Post-Closing Adjustment Statement, as finally determined pursuant to Sections 2.4 through 2.7, (ii) to the extent that Purchasers received a benefit from the reflection of such matter in the calculation of the adjustment of the Initial Purchase Price, if any, as finally determined pursuant to Sections 2.4 through 2.7, (iii) that are De Minimis Damages or (iv) unless the aggregate of all Losses (other than De Minimis Damages) exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the Deductible) in which case Sellers shall be liable for all such Losses (other than De Minimis Damages) in excess of the amount of the Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) with respect to Losses of any aggregate amount that exceeds the Cap, it being understood that in the event any Purchasers Indemnified Party seeks indemnification for Losses in excess of the Cap and the Cap subsequently increases to a greater value as a result of the payment of Development Milestone Earn-Out Consideration and/or Commercial Milestone Earn-Out Consideration to APIL, such Purchasers Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek indemnification in accordance with such increased Cap and the terms of this Agreement.
(b) The Deductible and the Cap shall not apply to any Losses arising out of or resulting from (1) the breach of any Fundamental Representation, (2) the breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.12 (Taxes); (3) the breach of any Purchasers Fundamental Representation; (4) the breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement; or (5) fraud.
(c) Purchasers shall have no liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.3(a) with respect to Losses for which indemnification is provided thereunder, (i) that are De Minimis Damages or (ii) unless the aggregate of all Losses (other than De Minimis Damages) exceeds the Deductible, in which case Purchasers shall be liable for all such Losses (other than De Minimis Damages) in excess of the amount of the Deductible.
(d) For purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses arising out of or resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty of set forth in this Agreement, any reference to Material Adverse Effect or materiality or other correlative terms in such representations or warranties shall be disregarded.
-65-
(e) Sellers shall not be liable under this Article X for any Losses based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement if Purchasers had knowledge, based solely upon written documentation included in the data room, of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Section 10.5(e), Purchasers shall be deemed to have knowledge of all written documentation included in the data room as of the date hereof and included on the disk delivered pursuant to Section 5.21.
10.6 Mitigation; Additional Indemnification Provisions.
(a) Each Indemnified Party shall use, and cause its Affiliates to use, commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any claim or liability that an Indemnified Party asserts under this Article X (including by taking reasonable best efforts to seek full recovery under all insurance and indemnity provisions covering any Losses for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder, to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder).
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, Losses shall be calculated after giving effect to amounts actually received under any insurance policy, (net of any costs to recover such amounts and increases in premiums resulting from such claim).
(c) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided shall be adjusted to take into account the amount of any net Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of the incurrence or payment of any such Losses in the form of a refund or reduction in Taxes otherwise payable within the tax year in which the Losses were incurred or paid, or the next two immediately succeeding tax years, in each case, calculated by comparing Taxes that would have been payable without taking into account any deduction or credit resulting from such Losses and Taxes actually payable by taking into account such deductions or credits (but only after all other items of income, gain, loss and deduction have been taken into account). If the Indemnified Party actually realizes a Tax benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it that was not taken into account at the time the indemnification payment was made, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount that the indemnification payment would have been reduced by if such Tax benefit had been actually realized prior to the time such indemnification payment was made.
(d) No Indemnified Party will, in any event, be entitled to any incidental, indirect, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages, including actual or potential lost profits, diminution in value or measures of damages based on a multiple.
10.7 Liquidated Damages. In the event of the occurrence of an event described on Section 10.7 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter (a Liquidated Damages Event), monetary damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to measure. The Parties therefore agree that liquidated damages shall be payable by Sellers to Purchasers in the manner and amount described on Schedule 10.7 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter. Such payments shall begin to be made to Purchasers within sixty (60) days of receipt by Sellers from Purchasers of written notice of the existence of a Liquidated Damages Event, and thereafter shall be made within thirty (30) days of the end of any month in which a Liquidated Damages Event exists. The Parties
-66-
acknowledge and agree that this liquidated damages provision is reasonable and does not constitute a penalty. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Parties further agree that this is the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses arising from or in connection with the events or circumstances set forth on Section 10.7 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter.
10.8 Exclusive Remedies. Except with respect to the matters covered by Section 2.5, Section 2.6, Section 5.14, Section 10.7, Section 11.10, and, with respect to indemnification for Tax matters, Article VII, Sellers and Purchasers acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Sellers and Purchasers, respectively, for any Losses (whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, Environmental Law (including CERCLA or any similar state law) or otherwise) that each Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by the other Parties or any failure by the other Parties to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, by such other Parties prior to the Closing.
10.9 Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party (including pursuant to this Agreement) in connection with any claim or demand by any Person other than the Parties hereto or their respective Affiliates, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim relating to such claim or demand against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such claim or demand. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost of such Indemnifying Party, in presenting any subrogated right, defense or claim.
10.10 Tax Indemnification Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article X, the above provisions of this Article X shall not apply to Tax indemnification matters, which shall instead be governed by Article VII.
10.11 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery due to the facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.
ARTICLE XI

11.7 Assignment.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Party to this Agreement will assign its rights or delegate any or all of its obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of each other Party to this Agreement, except that either Party may assign its benefits under this Agreement to an Affiliate of that Party. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.7 shall be void.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.7(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, APIL may assign its rights to any third party to (a) receive the Net Sales Earn-Out Consideration, (b) receive the Net Sales Report, (c) audit the records of Purchasers,
-71-
their Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees as described in Section 3.3 of Exhibit E, and (d) make indemnification claims against Purchasers, in connection with any securitization or monetization of the Net Sales Earn-Out Consideration (a Securitization), and APIL may disclose Business Confidential Information to a third party in connection with a Securitization to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the third party to evaluate the Securitization opportunity and to allow APIL to exercise its rights under this Section 11.7(b).
11.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person not a party to this Agreement (and their successors and assigns) any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, that the rights of the financing sources of the Debt Financing provided in this Section 11.8 and Section 9.4(c), Section 11.9 and Section 11.14 shall be enforceable by the financing sources of the Debt Financing, their Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns.
11.9 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement of any such modification or amendment is sought. Each Party to this Agreement may, only by an instrument in writing, waive compliance by the other Parties to this Agreement with any term or provision of this Agreement on the part of such other Parties to this Agreement to be performed or complied with. The waiver by any Party to this Agreement of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or waiver of this sentence of Section 11.9 or Section 9.4(c), Section 11.8 or Section 11.14 shall require the prior written consent of Orbimed Royalty Opportunities II, LP, but only to the extent that such Sections relate to the financing sources of the Debt Financing, their Affiliates or their respective successors or assigns.
11.10 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform any provision of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches by the Parties of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled in law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any of the other Parties has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any Party against whom an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement is sought hereby waives any requirement for the Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction. The foregoing is in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law, in equity or otherwise. The Parties further agree that nothing set forth in this Section 11.10 shall require any Party hereto to institute any Action for (or limit any Partys right to institute any Action for) specific performance under this Section 11.10 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article IX (and pursuing damages after such termination). The Parties
-72-
hereto agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall be entitled to specific performance (or any other equitable relief) to cause Purchasers to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including to draw down the Debt Financing under the Debt Financing Agreements (including any bridge financing or flex provisions thereunder) or Alternative Financing commitments obtained under Section 5.12, and to effect the Closing on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, if, and only if: (i) all conditions in Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and Section 8.3 have been satisfied as of the date on which the Closing would otherwise be required to occur (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing (provided such conditions would reasonably be expected to have been satisfied as of such date)), (ii) Purchasers fail to complete the Closing by the date the Closing would otherwise be required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3, (iii) the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing in accordance with Section 5.12) has been funded or will be available to be funded to Purchasers at the Closing, and (iv) the Closing would reasonably be expected to occur substantially simultaneously with the draw down of Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing in accordance with Section 5.12)).
11.11 Interpretation; Absence of Presumption.
(a) It is understood and agreed that the specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Sellers Disclosure Letter is not intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or such items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of any amount or the fact of the inclusion of any item in the Sellers Disclosure Letter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described in this Agreement or included in the Sellers Disclosure Letter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.
(b) For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as the context requires; (ii) references to the terms Article, Section, paragraph, Exhibit and Schedule are references to the Articles, Sections, paragraphs, Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (iii) the terms hereof, herein, hereby, hereto, and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto; (iv) references to $ or cash shall mean U.S. dollars; (v) the word including and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean including without limitation, unless otherwise specified; (vi) the word or shall not be exclusive; (vii) references to written or in writing include in electronic form; (viii) provisions shall apply, when appropriate, to successive events and transactions; (ix) Sellers and Purchasers have each participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and if an ambiguity or question of interpretation should arise, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or burdening any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions in this Agreement; (x) a reference to any Person includes such Persons successors and permitted assigns; (xi) any reference to days shall mean calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; and (xii) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end at the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day.
(c) If the Closing shall occur, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment obligation of Purchasers hereunder shall be a joint and several obligation of Purchasers and the Transferred Entities.
-73-
11.12 Headings; Definitions. The Section and Article headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
11.13 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement (or portions thereof) shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party hereto. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) shall be held to be so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. Upon a determination that any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is invalid, void or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
11.14 No Recourse to Debt Financing Sources. Subject to the rights of the parties to the Debt Financing Agreements under the terms thereof, none of the Parties hereto, nor any of their respective, direct or indirect, former, current or future general or limited partners, managers, members, stockholders, officers, directors, Affiliates, employees, representatives, agents, successors or assigns (collectively, the Related Persons), shall have any rights or claims against the financing sources of the Debt Financing or any of their Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, nor shall any of the financing sources of the Debt Financing or any of their Affiliates have any obligations or liabilities to the Parties hereto or their respective Related Persons, all of which are hereby waived (provided that nothing in this Section 11.14 shall in any way limit or modify any of the obligations owed under the Debt Financing Agreements by the financing sources of the Debt Financing to the Purchasers and their Affiliates), and the financing sources of the Debt Financing and their Affiliates and their respective Related Persons shall not have any rights or claims against any Party hereto or any Related Person thereof, in connection with this Agreement or the Debt Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise

3.2 Reporting.
(a) For so long as any Earn-Out Product is in development, on each anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide a written report to APIL detailing the development activities with respect to the Earn-Out Products completed for the past annual reporting period and anticipated to be undertaken for the next twelve (12) months period. At a minimum, such report shall include a list and general status (i.e., what stage in discovery/development using Purchasers internal measures) of each Earn-Out Product then in development, and any ongoing pre-clinical or clinical activities (including initiations and cessations) and results, and submission and approvals to or from Regulatory Authorities (including anticipated date of achievement of the Development Milestones), and any other similar information relating to development activities for the Earn-Out Products. Purchaser shall cause its senior officers from its research and clinical development operations to be reasonably available to APIL to answer questions related to the matters required to be discussed in each report.
(b) For so long as any Earn-Out Product is being marketed, sold, or otherwise commercialized, within sixty (60) days of the end of each calendar quarter, Purchaser shall provide a written report to APIL detailing the commercialization efforts with respect to the Earn-Out Products completed for the past quarterly reporting period and anticipated to be undertaken for the next calendar quarter and for the three (3) calendar quarters thereafter.

Purchaser shall cause its senior officers from business operations to be reasonably available to APIL to answer questions related to the matters required to be discussed in each report.
3.3 Audit. Purchaser shall maintain, and shall cause its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail to permit APIL, at its expense, to confirm the achievement of Development Milestones and Commercial Milestones, and the calculation of Earn-Out Consideration payable under this Agreement and this Exhibit E. Upon reasonable prior notice,
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
such books and records shall be open during regular business hours for a period of three (3) years from the creation of individual books and records for examination, by an independent certified public accountant selected by APIL and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser for the sole purpose of verifying for APIL the accuracy of the financial statements, reports and notices furnished by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and this Exhibit E, and of any payments made, or required to be made, by Purchaser to APIL pursuant to this Agreement and this Exhibit E. Any amounts shown to be owed to APIL but unpaid shall be paid by Purchaser within thirty (30) days after the accountants report, plus interest (as set forth in Section 2.3 of this Exhibit E) from the original due date. If Purchaser is found to have underpaid amounts owed to APIL by five percent (5%) or more, then Purchaser shall also pay for the conduct of the audit. In the event that Purchaser has overpaid APIL, at APILs option, Purchaser shall either credit the amount of any such overpayment to amounts subsequently due by Purchaser to APIL under this Exhibit E or APIL shall reimburse Purchaser the amount of any such overpayment.
ARTICLE 4 | Reversion. |
4.1 Determination of Reversion Event.
(a) A Reversion Event shall exist in the event that Purchaser, itself or through one or more of its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees, (i) fails to satisfy the NDA Requirement, or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of APIL, fails to comply with its Commercially Reasonable Efforts requirements under Section 3.1 of this Exhibit E; provided that, any such failure is not attributable to the material breach by APIL or any of its Affiliates of any of the Ancillary Agreements, which material breach was noticed by Purchaser prior to its receipt of a Reversion Notice from APIL under this Section 4.1.
(A) In the event the failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement is the result of a change in the FDAs policies or procedures regarding the approval of the Earn-Out Product or drugs in the same class as the Earn-Out Product, and Purchaser, its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees have used Commercially Reasonable Efforts to accommodate such change and were still unable to satisfy the NDA Requirement, then the deadline shall be extended for a reasonable period of time, but not more than three-hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days or such longer period of time as determined by APIL in good faith based on the impact of such change in the FDAs policies or procedures on their ability to accommodate such change in policies or procedures. (B) In the event the failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement is the result of other delays or circumstances that are outside of the reasonable control of Purchaser or its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees, and Purchaser, its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees have used Commercially Reasonable Efforts consistent with Section 3.1 of this Exhibit E to overcome such delay or circumstance, then APIL will reasonably consider extending the deadline for a reasonable period of time, but not more than three-hundred sixty-five (365) days, to overcome such failure. In each case of (A) or (B), the compliance with such new deadline shall remain an obligation of Purchaser, its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees subject to their diligence efforts under Section 3.1 of this Exhibit E and APILs rights under this Section 4.1(a).
(b) Upon a Reversion Event, APIL shall provide Purchaser with written notice of such Reversion Event (a Reversion Notice). If Purchaser disagrees with APIL regarding the existence of a Reversion Event, it shall notify APIL within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Reversion Notice of its disagreement (such period, the Challenge Period, and such notice, a Disagreement Notice). For a period of thirty (30) Business Days following the delivery of such Disagreement Notice, Purchaser and APIL shall seek in good faith to come to an agreement on the existence of the Reversion Event. If at the end of such thirty (30) Business Day period the Purchaser and APIL have not reached an agreement, they shall jointly select an independent mediator, free of any conflict with either Party, having the requisite licensing and pharmaceutical industry experience to render a decision regarding the existence of a Reversion Event, and selected from a panel of persons experienced in the pharmaceutical and life sciences
industries provided by Judicial Administration and Arbitration Services or its successor (JAMS). If the Parties do not agree on an independent mediator within five (5) Business Days of initiating mediation under this Section 4.1(b), the independent mediator shall be selected by JAMS in accordance with its rules. Each Party shall prepare and submit a written summary of such Partys position, which shall not exceed twenty-five (25) pages, and any relevant evidence in support thereof to the independent mediator within ten (10) Business Days of the selection of the independent mediator. Upon receipt of such summaries from both Parties, the independent mediator shall provide copies of the same to the other Party. The independent mediator shall be authorized to solicit briefing or other submissions on particular questions and to set specific page limits for such additional briefing and submissions. Within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such summaries by the independent mediator, each Party shall submit a written rebuttal of the other Partys summary and may also amend and re-submit its original summary, with each Partys response to include a supporting explanation of why its proposed terms are more appropriate than the other Partys proposed terms and any documentary evidence in support thereof. Oral presentations shall not be permitted unless otherwise requested by the independent mediator. Only if so permitted, a neutral location of any such oral presentations shall be selected by the independent mediator. The independent mediator shall make a final decision with respect to the arbitration matter within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the last of such rebuttal statements submitted by the Parties, and shall make a determination by selecting the resolution proposed by one of the Parties that as a whole is the most fair and reasonable to the Parties in light of the totality of the circumstances, and shall provide the Parties with a written statement setting forth the basis of the determination in connection therewith. For clarity, the independent mediator shall only have the right to select a resolution proposed by one of the Parties in its entirety and without modification. The decision of the independent mediator shall be controlling regarding the existence of a Reversion Event. The Purchaser and APIL shall bear the costs of the independent mediator equally.
(c) If the existence of a Reversion Event, other than one that involves a failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement, is confirmed, through (i) Purchasers non-delivery of a Notice of Disagreement or (ii) through the determination of an independent mediator, Purchaser, itself or through one or more of its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees shall have the right to cure such Reversion Event for a period of four (4) months from the determination of such Reversion Event (such period, the Cure Period) and, if it elects to exercise such right, shall notify APIL in writing of the same. In the case that such Reversion Event is cured in APILs reasonable judgment during or by the end of the Cure Period, such Reversion Event shall no longer exist and APIL shall not have the right to invoke any other rights under this Article 4 in connection with such event that would have remained a Reversion Event but for such cure.
(d) For purposes of this Article 4, the Reversion Date shall be (i) the date on which the Challenge Period expires without Purchaser having sent a Disagreement Notice to APIL, unless the Reversion Event at issue qualifies for a right to cure pursuant to Section 4.1(c) of this Exhibit E and Purchaser has elected to exercise such right to cure in which case clause (d)(iii) below shall apply, (ii) where the Reversion Event involves a failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement and Purchaser has sent a Disagreement Notice in connection therewith, the date on which the Parties agree, or the independent mediator issues its determination, that such Reversion Event has occurred, or (iii) where the Reversion Event does not involve a failure to satisfy the NDA Requirement, and Purchaser has elected its right to cure pursuant to Section 4.1(c) of this Exhibit E, the date on which the Cure Period expires without Purchaser having cured such Reversion Event to APILs reasonable satisfaction.
4.2 Events Upon Determination of a Reversion Event.
(a) On the Reversion Date, all licenses and other rights of Purchaser and its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees under the Intellectual Property Transfer and License Agreement

(g) To the extent that any payments would be owed by Purchaser to any Third Party under any agreement with such Third Party that is applicable to the exercise by APIL of any (sub)license, right of reference or other right provided in this Section 4.1, Purchaser shall notify APIL of the existence and anticipated amounts of such payments and APIL shall have the right either to decline such (sub)license, right of reference or other right provided in this Section 4.1 or to take the same, in which case APIL agrees to comply with any obligations under such agreement of Purchaser that apply to APIL and of which APIL was informed by Purchaser and to make such payments.
(h) Promptly following the Reversion Date and as requested by APIL, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to, (i) wind up the performance of any clinical trials for Earn-Out Products ongoing as of the Reversion Date, or (ii) transfer and assign to APIL, to the extent assignable by Purchaser in accordance with applicable Law, the management and continued performance of any clinical trials for Earn-Out Products ongoing as of the Reversion Date (provided that if the management and continued performance thereof is not assignable, then at the request of APIL, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees to, continue to manage and perform such clinical trial(s) for a limited time period at the direction of APIL) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket cost of which that is incurred after the Reversion Date shall be borne by APIL.
(i) Promptly following the Reversion Date and as requested by APIL, Purchaser shall assign to APIL any agreements with third party suppliers covering the supply or sale of the Earn-Out Products, or, if such agreements cover other products or do not permit assignment under their terms, then,
to enable APIL to qualify an alternate, validated source of supply, Purchaser shall supply finished Earn-Out Products for a reasonable period (not to exceed six (6) months) and at a cost equal to the cost of goods for any such Earn-Out Product calculated in accordance with industry standards (including overhead) plus [***].
(j) As of the Reversion Date, if Purchaser or any of its and its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees have any inventory of Earn-Out Product, or any components thereof, suitable for use in clinical trials or for commercialization (Reversion Material), Purchaser and its Affiliates, licensees and sublicensees shall offer in writing to sell the Reversion Material to APIL at Purchasers or the applicable Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees fully-allocated cost of manufacturing, and APIL shall have the option (but no obligation) to purchase the same by responding in writing to such offer within thirty (30) days. If APIL does not exercise such option, Purchaser and its Affiliates, licensees or sublicensees shall be entitled to sell any such Reversion Material, subject to any Earn-Out Consideration applicable to such sale pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Exhibit E.

EXERCISE
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on any day on or prior to the Expiration Date, by delivering the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the net exercise right set forth in Article 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Article 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share.

2 | NTD: to insert Closing Date. |
Article 1.2 are intended, in part, to ensure that a full or partial exchange of this Warrant pursuant to this Article 1.2 will qualify as a conversion, within the meaning of paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Companys common stock is traded in a public market, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price of a share of common stock reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Companys common stock is not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value of a Share (the Appraised Value) in its reasonable good faith judgment. If Holder (as defined below) shall, for any reason whatsoever, disagree with such Appraised Value, then such Holder shall, by giving written notice to the Company (an Appraisal Notice) within ten (10) days after the Company notifies the Holder of such determination, elect to dispute such determination, and such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in Article 1.3.1 below.

1.6 Treatment of Warrant upon Corporate Reorganization.
1.6.1 Corporate Reorganization.
(a) Without limiting any of the provisions hereof, if any: (i) capital reorganization; (ii) reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; (iii) merger, consolidation or reorganization or other similar transaction or series of related transactions which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto representing immediately thereafter (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) less than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company or such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; (iv) sale, lease, license, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (v) sale of shares of capital stock of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, representing at least 50% of the voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company; or (vi) the acquisition by any person (together with his, her or its Affiliates) or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) directly or indirectly, of the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of outstanding shares of capital stock and/or other equity securities of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, one or more tender offers or exchange offers), representing at least 50% of the voting power of or economic interests in the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation (each of (i)-(vi) above a Corporate Reorganization) shall be effected, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Holder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Holder, shares of stock in the surviving or acquiring entity (Acquirer), as the case may be, such that the aggregate value of the Holders warrants to purchase such number of shares, where the value of each new warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix 2 hereto, is at least equivalent to the aggregate value of the Warrants held by such Holder immediately prior to such Corporate Reorganization, where the value of each Warrant to purchase one share in the Company is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth Appendix 3 hereto. Furthermore, the new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer referred to herein shall have the same expiration date as the Warrant, and shall have a strike price, KAcq, that is calculated in accordance with Appendix 2 hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, if the surviving or acquiring entity, as the case may be, is a member of a consolidated group for financial reporting purposes, the Acquirer shall be deemed to be the parent of such consolidated group for purposes of this Article 1.6 and Appendix 2 hereto.
(b) Appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that prior to
3
or simultaneously with the consummation of a Corporate Reorganization, the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume by written instrument, reasonably deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company and Holder to be satisfactory in form and substance, the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrants, at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under these Warrants. The provisions of this Article 1.6 shall similarly apply to successive Corporate Reorganizations. If the Company, in spite of using its commercially reasonable best efforts, is unable to cause these Warrants to continue in full force and effect until the Expiration Date in connection with any Corporate Reorganization, then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Holder, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of any such Corporate Reorganization, an amount per Warrant to purchase one share in the Company that is calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix 3 hereto. Such payment shall be made in cash in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving cash from the Acquirer at the closing of the transaction, and shall be made in shares of the Company (with the value of each share in the Company is determined according to SCorp Appendix 3 hereto) in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving shares in the Acquirer or other entity at the closing of the transaction, in the event that the shareholders of the Company receive both cash and shares at the closing of the transaction, such payment to Holder shall be also be made in both cash and shares in the same proportion as the consideration received by the shareholders.
ARTICLE 2
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in common stock or other securities, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to the Holder a certificate pursuant to Article 2.6 below setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such stock dividend, subdivision, combination or consolidation by reclassification or otherwise or other event that results in a change to the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.1 shall similarly apply to successive stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations or other events.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include, without limitation, any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Companys Articles of Incorporation. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a certificate pursuant to Article 2.6 below setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant.

2.4 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
2.5 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company shall promptly notify Holder in writing, and, at the Companys expense, promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares.
2.6 Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Article 2, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Shares which the Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant.

4.6 Rule 144.

EXERCISE
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on any day on or prior to the Expiration Date, by delivering the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the net exercise right set forth in Article 1.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check, wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Article 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Article 1.3. The Company acknowledges that the provisions of this
1 | NTD: to equal two times the closing price of Recro stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date. |
2 | NTD: to insert Closing Date. |
Article 1.2 are intended, in part, to ensure that a full or partial exchange of this Warrant pursuant to this Article 1.2 will qualify as a conversion, within the meaning of paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. At the request of Holder, the Company will accept reasonable modifications to the exchange procedures provided for in this Article in order to accomplish such intent. For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Article 1.2), any reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include a reference to the exchange of this Warrant into Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article 1.2.
1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Companys common stock is traded in a public market, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price of a share of common stock reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Companys common stock is not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value of a Share (the Appraised Value) in its reasonable good faith judgment. If Holder (as defined below) shall, for any reason whatsoever, disagree with such Appraised Value, then such Holder shall, by giving written notice to the Company (an Appraisal Notice) within ten (10) days after the Company notifies the Holder of such determination, elect to dispute such determination, and such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in Article 1.3.1 below.
1.3.1 Appraisal Resolution. The Company shall within ten (10) days after an Appraisal Notice shall have been given, engage an independent investment bank of national repute (the Appraiser) that is mutually agreeable to the Company and Holder and retained pursuant to an engagement letter between the Company and the Appraiser with respect to such valuation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Holder, to make an independent determination of the Appraised Value of a Share. The costs of engagement of such investment bank for any such determination of Appraised Value shall be shared equally between the Company and Holder and Holder shall promptly reimburse the Company for fifty percent (50%) of such costs.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant and, if applicable, the Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.5 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.6 Treatment of Warrant upon Corporate Reorganization.
1.6.1 Corporate Reorganization.
(a) Without limiting any of the provisions hereof, if any: (i) capital reorganization; (ii) reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; (iii) merger, consolidation or reorganization or other similar transaction or series of related transactions which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto representing immediately thereafter (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) less than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company or such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; (iv) sale, lease, license, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (v) sale of shares of capital stock of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, representing at least 50% of the voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company; or (vi) the acquisition by any person (together with his, her or its Affiliates) or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) directly or indirectly, of the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of outstanding shares of capital stock and/or other equity securities of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, one or more tender offers or exchange offers), representing at least 50% of the voting power of or economic interests in the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation (each of (i)-(vi) above a Corporate Reorganization) shall be effected, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Holder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Holder, shares of stock in the surviving or acquiring entity (Acquirer), as the case may be, such that the aggregate value of the Holders warrants to purchase such number of shares, where the value of each new warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix 2 hereto, is at least equivalent to the aggregate value of the Warrants held by such Holder immediately prior to such Corporate Reorganization, where the value of each Warrant to purchase one share in the Company is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth Appendix 3 hereto. Furthermore, the new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer referred to herein shall have the same expiration date as the Warrant, and shall have a strike price, KAcq, that is calculated in accordance with Appendix 2 hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, if the surviving or acquiring entity, as the case may be, is a member of a consolidated group for financial reporting purposes, the Acquirer shall be deemed to be the parent of such consolidated group for purposes of this Article 1.6 and Appendix 2 hereto.
(b) Appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that prior to
3
or simultaneously with the consummation of a Corporate Reorganization, the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume by written instrument, reasonably deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company and Holder to be satisfactory in form and substance, the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrants, at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under these Warrants. The provisions of this Article 1.6 shall similarly apply to successive Corporate Reorganizations. If the Company, in spite of using its commercially reasonable best efforts, is unable to cause these Warrants to continue in full force and effect until the Expiration Date in connection with any Corporate Reorganization, then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Holder, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of any such Corporate Reorganization, an amount per Warrant to purchase one share in the Company that is calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix 3 hereto. Such payment shall be made in cash in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving cash from the Acquirer at the closing of the transaction, and shall be made in shares of the Company (with the value of each share in the Company is determined according to SCorp Appendix 3 hereto) in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving shares in the Acquirer or other entity at the closing of the transaction, in the event that the shareholders of the Company receive both cash and shares at the closing of the transaction, such payment to Holder shall be also be made in both cash and shares in the same proportion as the consideration received by the shareholders.
ARTICLE 2
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in common stock or other securities, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to the Holder a certificate pursuant to Article 2.6 below setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such stock dividend, subdivision, combination or consolidation by reclassification or otherwise or other event that results in a change to the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.1 shall similarly apply to successive stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations or other events.
4
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include, without limitation, any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Companys Articles of Incorporation. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a certificate pursuant to Article 2.6 below setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant as a result of such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant. The provisions of this Article 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
2.3 No Impairment.

4.6 Rule 144.

(c) Surrender of Warrant. The Warrant Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company when it delivers the Notice of Exercise, and in the event of a partial exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder, at the time the Company delivers the Share certificate or certificates issued pursuant to such Notice of Exercise, a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the Warrant, but in all other respects identical to this Warrant.

Holder, in cash, an amount equal to the same fraction times the Closing Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise (or if there is no such Closing Price, then based on the Appraised Value as of such day).
(f) Expenses and Taxes. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and owner charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Warrant Shares and any new Warrants, except that if the certificates for the Warrant Shares or the new Warrants are to be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Warrant Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall be paid by the Warrant Holder at the time of its delivery of the Notice of Exercise or promptly upon receipt of a written request by the Company for payment.
(g) Automatic Cashless Exercise. To the extent that there has not been an exercise by the Warrant Holder pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, any portion of the Warrant that remains unexercised shall be exercised automatically in whole (not in part), upon the Expiration Date. In the event of a Qualified Change of Control, any portion of the Warrant that remains unexercised shall be exercised automatically in whole (not in part) upon such Qualified Change of Control. Payment by the Warrant Holder upon such automatic exercise shall be in the form of the Warrant Holder receiving from the Company the number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being automatically exercised minus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares having a value (A) in the case of a Qualified Change of Control, equal to the consideration paid for a Warrant Share upon such Qualified Change of Control, or (B) in any other case, based on the Closing Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such automatic exercise (or if there is no such Closing Price, then based on the Appraised Value as of such day), equal to the Exercise Amount.

(a) By accepting the Warrant, the Warrant Holder represents that it is acquiring the Warrant for its own account for investment purposes and not with the view to any sale or distribution, that the Warrant Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares except under circumstances as will not result in a violation of applicable securities laws, and that the Warrant Holder is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(b) Warrant Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law, by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws, that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such laws or a subsequent disposition thereof is exempt from registration, that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend to such effect, and that appropriate stop transfer instructions may be issued. Warrant Holder further understands that such exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Warrant Holders investment intent expressed herein.
Section 4. Validity of Warrant and Issuance of Shares.
(a) The Company represents and warrants that this Warrant has been duly authorized, is validly issued, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company.
(b) The Company further represents and warrants that on the date hereof it is duly authorized and reserved, and the Company hereby agrees that it will at all times until the Expiration Date have duly authorized and reserved, such number of Shares as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Warrant, and that all such Shares are and will be duly authorized and, when issued upon exercise of the Warrant, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens, equities and other encumbrances.

Section 5. Antidilution Provisions. The Exercise Price in effect at any time, and the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon any exercise of the Warrant, shall be subject to change or adjustment as follows:
(a) Share Reorganization. If the Company shall subdivide its outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, by way of a stock split, stock dividend or otherwise, or consolidate its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares (any such event being herein called a Share Reorganization), then (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the effective date of such Share Reorganization, to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding on such effective date before giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding after giving effect to such Share Reorganization, and (ii) the number of Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted, effective at such time, to a number determined by multiplying the number of Shares subject to purchase immediately before such Share Reorganization by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding after giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately before giving effect to such Share Reorganization.
(b) Pro-Rata Distributions in Respect of Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Shares (Pro-Rata Distribution) for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than pursuant to a Share Reorganization which is governed by Section 5(a)), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset, including cash (in each case, Distributed Property), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of shareholder entitled to receive such distribution, the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date without regard to any limitation on exercise contained therein. The Company will at all times set aside in escrow and keep available for distribution to such holder upon exercise of this Warrant a portion of the Distributed Property to satisfy the distribution to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5(b).
(c) Other Issuances.
(i) If the Company shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute any Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any deemed issuance, sale or distribution described in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below), other than pursuant to a Share Reorganization (which is governed by Section 5(a)) or a Pro-Rata Distribution (which is governed by Section 5(b) (any such event, including any event described in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below, being herein called a Share Distribution), for a consideration per Share less than the Exercise Price then in effect, then, effective upon such Share Distribution, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Share Distribution multiplied by the Exercise Price, plus (B) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Share Distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (1) the total number of Shares outstanding immediately after such Share Distribution multiplied by (2) the Exercise Price. If any Share Distribution shall require an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c), including by operation of paragraph (ii) or (iii) below, then, effective at
6
the time such adjustment is made, the number of Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of Shares subject to purchase immediately before such Share Distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price as adjusted in accordance with this Section 5(c). The provisions of this Section 5(c), including by operation of paragraph (ii) or (iii) below, shall not operate to increase the Exercise Price or reduce the number of Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant.
(ii) If the Company shall issue, sell, distribute (other than a Pro Rata Distribution) or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares such rights, warrants or options being herein called Options and such convertible or exchangeable securities being herein called Convertible Securities), whether or not such Options or the rights to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities in respect of such Options are immediately exercisable or exercisable prior to the Expiration Date or thereafter, and the price per Share for which Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities in respect of such Options (determined by dividing (x) the aggregate amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Options to acquire Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Exercise Price, then, for purposes of Section 5(c)(i), the total maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration of such price per Share, determined as provided above, therefor. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (iv) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iii) If the Company shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute (other than a Pro-Rata Distribution) (including by assumption) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable or exercisable prior to the Expiration Date or thereafter, and the price per Share for which Shares are issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (x) the aggregate amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the maximum number of Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Exercise Price, then, for purposes of Section 5(c)(i), the total maximum number of Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible Securities thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration such price per Share, determined as provided above, therefor. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (iv) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iv) If (x) the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Section 5(c)(ii) or the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Sections 5(c)(ii) or 5(c)(iii) or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
7
referred to in Sections 5(c)(ii) or 5(c)(iii) are convertible into or exchangeable for Shares shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution upon an event which results in a related adjustment pursuant to this Section 5), or (y) any of such Options or Convertible Securities shall have terminated, lapsed or expired, the Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted (effective only with respect to any exercise of this Warrant after such readjustment) to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance, sale, distribution or grant of such Options or Convertible Securities been made based upon such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be (in the case of any event referred to in clause (x) of this paragraph (iv)) or had such adjustment not been made (in the case of any event referred to in clause (y) of this paragraph (iv)).
(v) If any Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefore, less any expenses in excess of reasonable and customary expenses in connection therewith. If any Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration at the time of its receipt by the Company as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, less any expenses in excess of reasonable and customary expenses incurred in connection therewith. If any Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefore shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving entity as shall be attributable to such Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, at the time of the merger as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (in making such determination the members of its Board of Directors may give effect to the proposed acquisition and incorporate the prospects of the performance of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation over the 12 month period following the acquisition, including any reasonably demonstrate synergistic or value enhancing factors). If any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(c) in respect of: (i) the issuance of securities upon the exercise or conversion of any securities issued by the Company on prior to the date hereof, (ii) the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, (iii) the grant of options, warrants, Shares or other common stock equivalents under any duly authorized employee stock option, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan of the Company whether now existing or hereafter approved by the board of directors of the Company and its shareholders in the future, and the issuance of Shares in respect thereof, (iv) the issuance of securities in connection with a Strategic Transaction, or (v) the issuance of securities in a transaction described in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 (collectively, Excluded Issuances). For purposes of this paragraph, a Strategic Transaction means a transaction or relationship in which (1) the Company issues Shares of Common Stock that the Board of Directors of the Company determined in good faith is, itself or through its Subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company (or a shareholder thereof) and (2) the Company expects to receive benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include (x) a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to a Person whose primary business is investing in securities or (y) issuances to lenders.
(d) Above Market Purchases of Securities. If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company or any Subsidiary shall repurchase (a Repurchase), by self-tender offer or otherwise, any securities of the Company at an aggregate repurchase price that exceeds the aggregate Market Price for the securities
8
repurchased determined as of the Business Day immediately prior to the earliest of (i) the date of such Repurchase, (ii) the commencement of an offer to repurchase or (iii) the public announcement of either (such date being referred to as the Determination Date), then the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as follows:
(A) The Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale times (B) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which shall be (x) the product of (1) the Market Price for the Shares as of the Determination Date times (2) the number of Shares outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Repurchase less (y) the Repurchase Premium (as defined below), and (II) the denominator of which shall be (x) the product of (1) the Market Price for the Shares as of the Determination Date times (2) the number of Shares outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Repurchase.
(B) The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number of Shares determined by multiplying (x) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such distribution times (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment in clause (A) of this Section 5(d) and (2) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
The amount by which the aggregate repurchase price for all securities repurchased in any Repurchase (including for such purposes any fees or other direct or indirect consideration payable in connection therewith) exceeds the aggregate Market Price for such securities is referred to as the Repurchase Premium.
(e) Corporate Reorganization. Subject to an automatic cashless exercise in the event of a Qualified Change of Control pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof, in which case this Section 5(e) shall be inapplicable, if any (i) capital reorganization; (ii) reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; (iii) merger, consolidation or reorganization or other similar transaction or series of related transactions which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto representing immediately thereafter (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) less than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company or such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; (iv) sale, lease, license, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (v) sale of shares of capital stock of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, representing at least 50% of the voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company; or (vi) the acquisition by any person (together with his, her or its Affiliates) or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act) acquires, directly or indirectly, the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of outstanding shares of capital stock and/or other equity securities of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, one or more tender offers or exchange offers), representing at least 50% of the voting power of or economic interests in the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation (each of (i)-(vi) above a Corporate Reorganization) shall be effected, then the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrant Holder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Warrant Holder, shares of stock in the surviving or acquiring entity (Acquirer), as the case may be, such that the aggregate value of the Warrant Holders warrants to purchase such number of shares, where the value of each new warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (A) hereto, is equivalent
9
to the aggregate value of the Warrants held by such Warrant Holder, where the value of each Warrant to purchase one share in the Company is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth Appendix (B) hereto. Furthermore, the new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer referred to herein shall have the same expiration date as the Warrants, and shall have a strike price, KAcq, that is calculated in accordance with Appendix (A) hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, if the surviving or acquiring entity, as the case may be, is a member of a consolidated group for financial reporting purposes, the Acquirer shall be deemed to be the parent of such consolidated group for purposes of this Section 5(e) and Appendix (A) hereto.
Moreover, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrant Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect any such Corporate Reorganization unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume by written instrument, reasonably deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Requisite Holders to be satisfactory in form and substance, the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrants, at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under these Warrants. The provisions of this Section 5(e) shall similarly apply to successive Corporate Reorganizations. If the Company, in spite of using its best efforts, is unable to cause these Warrants to continue in full force and effect until the Expiration Date in connection with any Corporate Reorganization, then the Company shall pay the Warrant Holders an amount per Warrant to purchase one share in the Company that is calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (B) hereto. Such payment shall be made in cash in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving cash from the Acquirer at the closing of the transaction, and shall be made in shares of the Company (with the value of each share in the Company is determined according to SCorp in Appendix (B) hereto) in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving shares in the Acquirer or other entity at the closing of the transaction. In the event that the shareholders of the Company receive both cash and shares at the closing of the transaction, such payment to the Warrant Holders shall be also be made in both cash and shares in the same proportion as the consideration received by the shareholders.
(f) Adjustment Rules.
(i) Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made successively whenever any event referred to herein shall occur, except that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, no adjustment shall be made to the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Warrant Holder (or to the Exercise Price) if such adjustment represents less than 1% of the number of Warrant Shares previously required to be so delivered, but any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 1% or more of the number of Warrant Shares to be so delivered.
(ii) No adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 5 in respect of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant;
(iii) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Shares for any purpose referred to in this Section 5, then (x) such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance, sale, distribution or grant in question and (y) if the Company shall legally abandon such action prior to effecting such action, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 5 in respect of such action.
10
(iv) In computing adjustments under this Section 5, (A) fractional interests in Shares shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a Share, and (B) calculations of the Exercise Price shall be carried to the nearest one-thousandth of one cent.
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall cause the aggregate Exercise Price for all of the Warrant Shares to increase to more than $100.00.
(g) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Shares which the Warrant Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant.
(h) Notice of Adjustment. Not less than 10 days prior to the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of any action which requires or might require an adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall give notice to the Warrant Holder of such event, describing such event in reasonable detail and specifying the record date or effective date, as the case may be, and, if determinable, the required adjustment and computation thereof. If the required adjustment is not determinable as the time of such notice, the Company shall give notice to the Warrant Holder of such adjustment and computation as soon as reasonably practicable after such adjustment becomes determinable. In connection with any such adjustment or readjustment, at its sole cost and expense, the Company will also cause independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be the regular auditors of the Company) selected by the Company to verify its computations and, in connection with the preparation of the Companys quarterly financial statements prepare a report setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or to be received by the Company for any Share Distribution issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (ii) the number of Shares outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if required by this Section 5) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such report to the Warrant Holder and will, upon the written request at any time of the Warrant Holder, furnish to such holder a like report setting forth the Exercise Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all such reports at its office and will cause the same to be available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by the Warrant Holder or any prospective purchaser of this Warrant designated by the Warrant Holder.
(i) Subsequent Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, any successor or replacement warrants issued theretofore or thereafter may continue to express the same Exercise Price per Share and number and kind of Warrant Shares as are stated in this Warrant.
(j) Disputes. Any dispute which arises between the Warrant Holder and the Company with respect to the calculation of the adjusted Exercise Price or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise shall be determined by the independent auditors of the Company, and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the holders of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares if made in good faith and without manifest error.
11
(k) Other Actions Affecting Shares.
(i) Equitable Equivalent. In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of this Section 5 set forth above hereof are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not, in the opinion of the Warrant Holder, fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of this Section 5, then, in each such case, at the request of the Warrant Holder, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent investment bankers of recognized national standing (which shall be completely independent of the Company and shall be satisfactory to the holder or the Requisite Holders), which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 5, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the holder of this Warrant and shall make the adjustments described therein.
(ii) No Avoidance. The Company shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment as if the holder was a shareholder of the Company entitled to the benefit of fiduciary duties afforded to shareholders under Pennsylvania law.
(l) Calculation of Consideration Received. The consideration for the issue or sale of any Share Distribution shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such consideration:
(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the amount of cash actually received by the Company without reduction for any expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any commissions or compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in connection with such issue or sale;
(ii) insofar as it consists of property (including securities) other than cash actually received by the Company, be computed at the Appraised Value thereof at the time of such issue or sale; and
(iii) insofar as it consists neither of cash nor of other property, be computed as having no value.
(m) Adjustment of Par Value. If for any reason (including the operation of the adjustment provisions set forth in this Warrant), the Exercise Price on any date of exercise of this Warrant shall not be lawful and adequate consideration for the issuance of the relevant Warrant Shares, then the Company shall take such steps as are necessary (including the amendment of its certificate of incorporation so as to reduce the par value of the Shares) to cause such Exercise Price to be adequate and lawful consideration on the date the payment thereof is due, but if the Company shall fail to take such steps, then the Company acknowledges that the Warrant Holder shall have been damaged by the Company in an amount equal to an amount, which, when added to the total Exercise Price for the relevant Warrant Shares, would equal lawful and adequate consideration for the issuance of such Warrant Shares, and the Company irrevocably agrees that if the Warrant Holder shall then forgive the right to recover such damages from the Company, such forgiveness shall constitute, and Company shall accept such forgiveness as, additional lawful consideration for the issuance of the relevant Warrant Shares.
12
(n) Appraisal.
(i) If the Requisite Holders shall, for any reason whatsoever, disagree with the Companys determination of the Appraised Value of a Share, then such holders shall by notice to the Company (an Appraisal Notice) given within sixty (60) days after the Company notifies the holders of such determination, elect to dispute such determination, and such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section.
(ii) The Company shall within ten (10) days after an Appraisal Notice shall have been given, engage an independent investment bank of national repute (the Appraiser) selected by the Requisite Holders and retained pursuant to an engagement letter between the Company and the Appraiser with respect to such valuation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Requisite Holders, to make an independent determination of the Appraised Value of a Share; such value shall be determined without deduction for (a) liquidity considerations, (b) minority shareholder status, or (c) any liquidation or other preference or any right of redemption in favor of any other equity securities of the Company. The costs of engagement of such investment bank for any such determination of Appraised Value shall be paid by the Company.
(o) Trading Market Limitation.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Warrant to the contrary, unless and until the Shareholder Approval is received, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall require the Company to issue more than [ ]4 Shares upon exercise of the Warrant (Warrant Share Cap); provided that the Warrant Share Cap shall be adjusted in connection with any Share Reorganization in the same manner as the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted pursuant to Section 5(a).
(ii) As a condition precedent to the Company consummating any transaction that, but for the application of Section 5(o)(i), would have resulted in an adjustment which would have required the Company to issue Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in excess of the Warrant Share Cap, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval and take such other actions as reasonably necessary (collectively, the Shareholder Approval) to permit the issuance of Shares in excess of the Warrant Share Cap.
Section 6. Transfer of Warrant. The Warrant Holder upon transfer of the Warrant must deliver to the Company a duly executed Warrant Assignment in the form of Exhibit B and upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant with appropriate changes to reflect such Assignment, in the name or names of the assignee or assignees specified in the Warrant Assignment or other instrument of assignment and, if the Warrant Holders entire interest is not being transferred or assigned, in the name of the Warrant Holder, and upon the Companys execution and delivery of such new Warrant, this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled; and provided that any assignee shall have all of the rights of an Initial Holder hereunder. The Warrant Holder shall pay any transfer tax imposed in connection with such assignment (if any). Any transfer or exchange of this Warrant shall be without charge to the Warrant Holder (except as provided above with respect to transfer taxes, if any) and any new Warrant issued shall be dated the date hereof.
Section 7. Assistance in Disposition of Warrant or Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event that it becomes unlawful for the Warrant Holder to continue to hold the Warrant, in whole or in part, or some or all of the Shares held by it, or restrictions are imposed on any the Warrant Holder by any statute, regulation or governmental authority which, in the judgment of the Warrant Holder, make it unduly burdensome to continue to hold the Warrant or such Shares, the Warrant
4 | Number shall equal 15% of the outstanding Shares on the issue date of this Warrant. |
13
Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of the Warrant (subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in Section 6) or its Shares, and the Company agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the Warrant Holder in disposing of the Warrant and such Shares in a prompt and orderly manner and, at the request of the Warrant Holder, to provide (and authorize the Warrant Holder to provide) financial and other information concerning the Company to any prospective purchaser of the Warrant or Shares owned by the Warrant Holder.
Section 8 Identity of Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. Upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Shares, the Company will mail to the Warrant Holder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent.
Section 9. Covenants. The Company agrees that:
(a) Information. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding or any Initial Holder holds any Warrant Shares, the Company will deliver to the Warrant Holder (or Initial Holder):

(iii) promptly upon the filing thereof, copies of all registration statements (other than the exhibits thereto and any registration statements on Form S-8 or its equivalent) and to the extent the Company is required by law or pursuant to the terms of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company to prepare such reports, any annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act actually prepared by the Company as soon as available; and
(iv) promptly, upon the issuance thereof, all statements and notices sent to the Companys shareholders.
The information requirements set forth in Sections 9(a)(i)-(iv) shall be deemed to be satisfied upon filing of such information via EDGAR with the Commission.
(b) Securities Filings; Rules 144 & 144A. The Company will (i) file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Warrant Holder and each holder of Warrant Shares in supplying such information concerning the Company as may be

(c) Obtaining of Governmental Approvals and Stock Exchange Listings. The Company will, at its own expense, (i) obtain and keep effective any and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities which may from time to time be required of the Company in order to satisfy its obligations hereunder, and (ii) take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares, immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, will be listed on Trading Market, if any, on which the Shares are then listed.
(d) Structural Dilution.

The Company shall give prompt notice to the Warrant Holder of any amendment or waiver effected in compliance with this Section. No failure or delay of the Company or the Warrant Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereon or the exercise of any other right or power. No notice or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or future notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The rights and remedies of the Company and the Warrant Holder hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Shareholder Rights. The Warrant shall not entitle any Warrant Holder, prior to the exercise of the Warrant, to any voting rights as a shareholder of the Company.

This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(b) indemnifies and holds harmless the Lender for any and all costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to the Lender)
3
incurred by the Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guarantee, except to the extent such amounts arise or are incurred as a consequence of the Lenders own gross negligence or willful misconduct;
provided, that each Guarantor shall only be liable under this Guarantee for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and each Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that the Lender exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against such Guarantor or any other Person before or as a condition to the obligations of such Guarantor becoming due hereunder.
Section 2.2 Reinstatement, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (including on or after the Termination Date), as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Lender, including upon the occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in Section 9.1(h) of the Credit Agreement or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 2.3 Guarantee Absolute, Etc. This Guarantee shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until (unless reinstated pursuant to Section 2.2 above) the Termination Date has occurred. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of each Loan Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lender with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Loan Document;
(b) the failure of the Lender (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against such Guarantor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor (including such Guarantor and any other Guarantor) of, or collateral securing, any Obligations;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligation, or any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document;
(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance),
4
recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise;
(e) any addition, exchange or release of any collateral or of any Person that is (or will become) a guarantor of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to, or waiver or release of, or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guarantee held by the Lender securing any of the Obligations; or
(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Obligor, any surety or any guarantor (including any Guarantor).
Section 2.4 Setoff. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender, without the requirement that any notice be given to such Guarantor (such notice being expressly waived by such Guarantor), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each Guarantor hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Guarantor then or thereafter maintained with or on behalf of the Lender. The Lender agrees to notify such Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by the Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which the Lender may have.
Section 2.5 Waiver, Etc. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guarantee and any requirement that the Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against any Obligor or any other Person (including any Guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing the Obligations, as the case may be.
Section 2.6 Postponement of Subrogation, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under any Loan Document to which it is a party, nor shall such Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Obligor or Guarantor, in respect of any payment made under any Loan Document or otherwise, until following the Termination Date. Any amount paid to such Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the Termination Date shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall immediately be paid and turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed in favor of the Lender, if required), to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 2.7; provided, that if such Guarantor has made payment to the Lender of all or any part of the Obligations and the Termination Date has occurred, then, at such Guarantors request, the Lender will, at the expense of such Guarantor, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents (without recourse and without
5
representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, at all times prior to the Termination Date, such Guarantor shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the Borrower or any other Obligor or Guarantor (or their successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this Guarantee to the Lender.
Section 2.7 Payments; Application. Each Guarantor agrees that all obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be paid solely in U.S. Dollars to the Lender in immediately available funds, without set-off, counterclaim or other defense and in accordance with Sections 3.2, 3.3, 4.3 and 4.4 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any Non-Excluded Taxes, such Guarantor hereby agreeing to comply with and be bound by the provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.3, 4.3 and 4.4 of the Credit Agreement in respect of all payments and application of such payments made by it hereunder and the provisions of which Sections are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Guarantee by this reference as if set forth herein; provided, that references to the Borrower in such Sections shall be deemed to be references to such Guarantor, and references to this Agreement in such Sections shall be deemed to be references to this Guarantee.

19
Section 4.9 Further Assurances, Etc. Each Grantor agrees that, from time to time at its own expense, it will, subject to the terms of this Security Agreement, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or that the Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect, preserve and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.

20
(f) furnish to the Lender, from time to time at the Lenders request, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Lender may request, all in reasonable detail (provided however, for so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender may not require such additional statements and schedules more than once per fiscal quarter); and

Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Lenders discretion, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including:

Section 5.3 Lender Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers.

(a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or
(b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
Section 5.4 Reasonable Care. The Lender is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if it takes such action for that purpose as each Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Lender to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
Section 6.1 Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of the Lender on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may
(i) take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process;
22
(ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties,
(iii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below, lease, license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at any public or private sale, at any of the Lenders offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) All cash Proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Lender against all or any part of the Obligations as set forth in Section 4.4(b) of the Credit Agreement.
(c) The Lender may:
(i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Lender or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the Lien hereunder;

(iii) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Collateral Account;
(iv) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto;
(v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantors name to allow collection of the Collateral;
(vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral; and
(vii) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
23
Section 6.2 Securities Laws. If the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Capital Securities pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(iv), each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Lender, such Grantor will, at its own expense:
(a) execute and deliver, and cause (or, with respect to any issuer which is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each issuer of the Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Lender, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the Securities Act), and cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto;
(b) use its best efforts to exempt the Collateral under the state securities or Blue Sky laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Lender;
(c) cause (or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each such issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and
(d) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Lender by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section and consequently agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value (as determined by the Lender) of such Collateral on the date the Lender shall demand compliance with this Section.
Section 6.3 Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that
24
they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Lender be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
Section 6.4 Protection of Collateral. The Lender may from time to time, at its option, perform any act which any Grantor fails to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) and the Lender may from time to time take any other action which the Lender deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.

Section 1.2 Assignment of Leases and Rents.
(a) This Deed to Secure Debt is intended to and hereby does create an absolute and present assignment to Grantee of the items of Premises constituting Rents, and not merely the passing of a security interest; provided, that Grantor shall have the right and license to collect said Rents under the Leases as the same shall accrue until terminated during the continuance of an Event of Default as provided in this Deed to Secure Debt.
(b) This Deed to Secure Debt is intended to be and hereby is an assignment of leases and the rights and interests arising thereunder, and Grantor hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Grantee, as further security for the payment of the Obligations and other documents evidencing such Rents, all the right, title and interest of Grantor in, under and by virtue of any and all existing and future Leases, any and all guarantees of the tenants obligations under any provisions thereof, all security deposits delivered by tenants thereunder, whether in cash or letter of credit, all rights and claims for damage against tenants arising out of defaults under the Leases, including rights to termination fees and compensation with respect to rejected Leases pursuant to Section 365(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any replacement Section thereof, and all tenant improvements and fixtures located on the Premises; provided, however, that Grantor is hereby granted a license to collect Rents under the Leases until terminated during the continuation of any Event of Default as provided in this Deed to Secure Debt. Grantor covenants that Grantor is the sole owner of the entire landlords or lessors interest in the Leases; that the Leases have not been and shall not be altered, modified, or amended in any manner whatsoever save as therein and herein set forth; that the tenant(s) or lessee(s) named therein are not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions thereof; that no Rent reserved in the Leases has been assigned or anticipated; and that no Rent for any period subsequent to the date hereof has been collected in advance of the time when the same became due under the terms of the Leases. Grantor covenants with Grantee to observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the landlord or lessor under the Leases and not to do or permit to be done anything to impair the security thereof; not to collect any of the Rent arising or accruing under the Leases or from the Premises in advance of the time when the same shall become due; not to execute any other assignment of landlords or lessors interest in the Leases or assignment of Rents arising or accruing from the Leases or from the Premises except as hereinafter set forth; not to enter into any new Leases of the Premises or alter, modify, or change the terms of the Leases or cancel or terminate the same or accept a surrender thereof without the prior written consent of Grantee (which consent shall
- 5 -
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and at Grantees request, to further assign and transfer to Grantee any and all future Leases upon all or any part of the Premises, and to execute and deliver, at the request of Grantee, all such further assurances and assignments as Grantee shall from time to time reasonably require. Grantor will not execute any other assignment of the Leases or of any interest therein or of any of the Rents payable thereunder. Grantor will give prompt notice to Grantee of any notice of Grantors default received from any tenant, lessee or any other person and furnish Grantee with complete copies of said notice. If reasonably requested by Grantee, Grantor will enforce the Leases and all remedies available to Grantor against the tenant in case of default under the Leases by any tenant.
(c) Grantor hereby further grants to Grantee the right (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Premises for the purpose of collecting the said Rents, (ii) to dispossess by the usual summary proceedings (or any other proceedings of Grantees selection) any tenant defaulting in the payment thereof to Grantee, (iii) to lease the Premises, or any part thereof, and (iv) to apply said Rents, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of said Obligations. Such assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the Obligations is paid, the execution of this Deed to Secure Debt constituting and evidencing the irrevocable consent of Grantor to the entry upon and taking possession of the Premises by Grantee pursuant to such grant, whether foreclosure has been instituted or not and without applying for a receiver. So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Grantee will not exercise any of its rights under Section 1.2, and Grantee shall not receive and collect the Rents of the Premises accruing under any Lease. Such license of Grantor to collect and receive said Rents may be revoked by Grantee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
(d) Grantee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by the Grantor resulting from the failure of Grantee to let the leasable premises or the Premises after default or from any other act or omission of Grantee in managing the Premises after default, unless such loss is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Grantee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable order. Grantee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does Grantee hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or under or by reason of this Deed to Secure Debt, and Grantor shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify Grantee for, and to hold Grantee harmless from any and all liabilities, losses and damages which may or might be incurred under the Leases or under or by reason of this Deed to Secure Debt and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever, in each case, prior to the foreclosure of the Deed to Secure Debt lien created hereby, which may be asserted against Grantee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases, except to the extent of such loss, liability, or damage as is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Grantee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable order.
(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the right and license to collect Rents granted to Grantor above shall automatically be revoked and Grantee is authorized at any time, without notice, in its sole discretion, to enter upon and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, and to perform any acts Grantee deems necessary or proper to conserve the security, including, without limitation, manage and operate the Premises and the Grantors business on the Premises, and take possession of and use all books of account and financial records of the Grantor and its property managers or representatives, if any, relating to the Premises. With or without taking possession or having a receiver appointed, Grantee is entitled to collect and receive all Rents, including those past due as well as those accruing. Grantor irrevocably agrees that all such tenants shall be authorized to pay the Rents directly to Grantee without liability of such tenants for the determination of the actual existence of any default by Grantor claimed by Grantee. Tenants shall be expressly relieved of any and all duty, liability and obligation to Grantor in connection with any and all Rents so paid. Grantee shall be entitled to have a receiver appointed with or without notice by a court. Said receiver shall be authorized, without notice, to enter upon and take possession of the Premises and take any act it deems necessary or proper to
- 6 -
conserve the security. With or without taking possession said receiver shall be entitled to collect the Rents and apply the same as the court may direct. Grantee or the receiver may also take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all personal property used by Grantor in the rental or leasing of the Premises or any part thereof. The expense (including receivers fees, reasonable counsel fees, costs and agents compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured hereby. Grantee shall (after payment of all such out of pocket costs and expenses incurred) apply such Rents received by it to the Deed to Secure Debt and Obligations secured hereunder in such order as Grantee determines; and Grantor agrees that exercise of such rights and disposition of such funds shall not constitute a waiver of any foreclosure once commenced nor preclude the later commencement of foreclosure for breach hereof. The right to enter and take possession of the Premises, the right to manage and operate the same, and the right to collect the Rents, in each case whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law, and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Grantee shall be liable to account only for such Rents actually received by Grantee. Grantor hereby specifically authorizes Grantee, and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Grantee as Grantors agent and attorney-in-fact, in Grantors or Grantees name, to do any of the foregoing, said power of attorney being coupled with an interest and not revoked by insolvency, bankruptcy, death, dissolution or otherwise.

Section 44-14-60, and is both a real property Deed to Secure Debt and a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code.

By executing and delivering this Deed to Secure Debt, Grantor hereby grants to Grantee, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and other property constituting the Premises to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and such other property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Premises so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the Collateral). Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a security interest in all of its present and future Equipment and General Intangibles (as said quoted terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the state where the Premises are located), and Grantee shall have, in addition to all rights and remedies provided herein, and in any other agreements, commitments and undertakings made by Grantor to Grantee, all of the rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of the state of Grantors creation. If the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt is subject to a security interest covering any such personal property, then all of the right, title and interest of Grantor in and to any and all such property is hereby assigned to Grantee, together with the benefits of all deposits and payments now or hereafter made thereon by Grantor. During the continuation of any Event of Default, Grantee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Grantee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Grantee during the continuation of any Event of Default, Grantor shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Grantee at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Grantee. Grantor shall pay to Grantee on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys fees, incurred or paid by Grantee in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral during the continuation of any Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Grantee with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Grantor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required
- 7 -
by applicable law, be applied by Grantee to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as required under the Credit Agreement. The principal place of business of Grantor (Secured Debtor) is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Grantee (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.
Section 1.4 FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Premises is or will become fixtures (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, described or referred to in this Deed to Secure Debt, and this Deed to Secure Debt, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Premises that is or may become fixtures. For this purpose the following information is included: (i) Grantor is the Debtor with the address set forth on the first page hereof; (ii) Grantee is the Secured Party with the address set forth on the first page hereof; (iii) this document and any security interest granted herein covers goods which are or are to become fixtures; (iv) the jurisdiction of organization of the Grantor is set forth on the first page hereof; and (v) Grantor is the record owner of the Land and the Improvements.

CONDITIONS TO GRANT
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Premises unto and to the use and benefit of Grantee and its successors and assigns forever, in fee simple.
THIS INSTRUMENT IS A DEED passing legal title pursuant to the laws of the State of Georgia governing deeds to secure debt and establishes a perpetual security title in the Premises in favor of Grantee. This instrument is also a security agreement by which Grantor does hereby grant a present and continuing security interest in and security title to that portion of the Premises constituting fixtures, goods, intangibles, the leases, rents and all other collateral covered by the Uniform Commercial Code pursuant to the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code.

Should the Obligations be satisfied in full and Grantor performs all the covenants herein contained and contained in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, then this Deed to Secure Debt shall be canceled and surrendered, it being intended by the parties hereto that this instrument shall operate as a deed, and not as a mortgage creating a lien only; provided, however, that Grantors obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Grantee pursuant to the provisions hereof shall survive any such payment or release.

If at any time payment of any Labor and Material Costs shall become necessary (a) to prevent the sale or forfeiture of the Premises or any portion thereof because of non-payment, or (b) to protect the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt, then Grantor shall pay the same in sufficient time to prevent the sale or forfeiture of the Premises or to protect the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt, as the case may be.
Section 4.8 PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS.

Section 8.1 EVENT OF DEFAULT. For purposes of this Deed to Secure Debt, references to an Event of Default shall mean an Event of Default under and as defined in the Credit Agreement which shall constitute an Event of Default under this Deed to Secure Debt.
Section 8.2 REMEDIES.

(c) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Deed to Secure Debt for the portion of the Obligations then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Deed to Secure Debt for the balance of the Obligations not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority;
(d) sell for cash or upon credit the Premises or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Grantor therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law;

(g) apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Premises, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard for the solvency of Grantor, any guarantor, indemnitor or any Person liable for the payment of the Obligations to which appointment Grantor does hereby consent;
(h) the license granted to Grantor under Section 1.2 hereof shall automatically be revoked and Grantee may enter into or upon the Premises, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Grantor and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Grantor and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Grantor agrees to surrender possession of the Premises and of such books, records and accounts to Grantee upon demand, and thereupon Grantee may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Premises and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Premises in such manner and form as Grantee deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Premises; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Grantor with respect to the Premises, whether in the name of Grantor or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents of the Premises and every part thereof; (v) require Grantor to pay monthly in advance to Grantee, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Premises as may be occupied by Grantor; (vi) require Grantor to vacate and surrender possession of the Premises to Grantee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Grantor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Premises to the payment of the Obligations, in such order, priority and proportions as required under the Credit Agreement after deducting therefrom all expenses (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in connection with the Premises, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Grantee, its counsel, agents and employees; provided, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt prohibiting the sale or other disposition of the Premises without Grantees prior written consent;
(i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property, or any part thereof, and to take
- 15 -
such other measures as Grantee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property, and (ii) request Grantor at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property and make the same available to Grantee at a convenient place acceptable to Grantee. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Grantee with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment and/or the Personal Property sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, or as may be sooner required under applicable law, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor;
(j) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise by or on behalf of Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Deed to Secure Debt;
(k) take such steps to protect and enforce its rights in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as Grantee shall elect;
(l) exercise any or all of the remedies available to it under this Deed to Secure Debt and the Loan Documents; or
(m) pursue such other remedies as Grantee may have under applicable law.
No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Grantee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but every remedy herein provided shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute; and every power and remedy given by this Deed to Secure Debt to Grantee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission by Grantee to exercise any right or power during the continuation of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any event of default or an acquiescence therein. If Grantee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Deed to Secure Debt by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned, or shall have been determined adversely, then, and in such and every such case, Grantor shall be restored to its former positions and rights hereunder in respect of the Premises, and all rights, remedies and powers of Grantee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall constitute or be construed as a waiver by Grantee of any subsequent breach or default or of any breach or default of any other provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt. Any waiver by Grantee must be in writing and will not be construed as a continuing waiver. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any payment made by Grantee for insurance premiums, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rentals, levies, fees or any other charges affecting the Premises, shall not constitute a waiver of Grantors default in making such payments and shall not obligate Grantee to make any further payments.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than all of Premises, this Deed to Secure Debt shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Premises unimpaired and without loss of priority.
Section 8.3 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money, proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Premises, and or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Grantee pursuant to the Credit Agreement, this Deed to Secure Debt or any other document or instrument executed in connection therewith shall be applied by Grantee to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantee and any receiver of the Premises or any part thereof shall be liable to account for only those Rents actually received by it.
- 16 -
Section 8.4 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. During the continuation of any Event of Default or if Grantor fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, Grantee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Grantor and without releasing Grantor from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Grantee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Grantee is authorized to enter upon the Premises for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Premises or to foreclose this Deed to Secure Debt or collect the Rents, and the cost and expense thereof (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.4, shall constitute a portion of the Obligations and shall be due and payable to Grantee upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in remedying such failure to act or such failed payment or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Grantee that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Grantee. All such costs and expenses incurred by Grantee together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Obligations and be secured by this Deed to Secure Debt and the other Security Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Grantee therefor.
Section 8.5 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Grantee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Premises and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Grantor, which Grantee, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Premises or its rights hereunder. All such costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in connection with such actions or proceedings, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses and appellate attorneys fees and expenses and otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents, shall be paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Deed to Secure Debt.
Section 8.6 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Grantee shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Grantee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Grantor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. In the event of a sale of the Premises, or any part thereof, and of the application of the proceeds of sale, as in this Deed to Secure Debt provided, to the payment of the debt hereby secured, Grantee shall be entitled to enforce payment of, and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid upon, the Obligations, and to enforce payment of all other charges, payments and costs due under this Deed to Secure Debt, and shall be entitled to recover judgment for any portion of the debt remaining unpaid, with interest at the applicable Default Rate under the Credit Agreement or supplemental Loan Documents. In case of the commencement of any case against the Grantor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, Grantee shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and interest due under the Credit Agreement to the full amount thereof, and all other payments, charges and costs due under this Deed to Secure Debt and otherwise provided for in the Credit Agreement, without deducting therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the Premises, provided, however, that in no case shall Grantee receive a greater amount than such principal and interest and such other payments, charges and costs from the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the sale of the Premises and the distribution from the estate of Grantor.
Section 8.7 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. Grantee, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine the records, books, and other papers of Grantor which reflect upon its financial condition, at the Premises or at any office regularly maintained by Grantor where the books and records are located in the manner and to the extent permitted under Section 7.5 of the Credit Agreement. This Section 8.7 shall apply until this Deed to Secure Debt shall be terminated pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and without regard to whether an Event of Default is continuing.
- 17 -
Section 8.8 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Grantee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Deed to Secure Debt. Grantor shall not be relieved of Grantors obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Grantee to comply with any request of Grantor or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the foreclosure of this Deed to Secure Debt or enforcement of any of the provisions hereof or of the Credit Agreement or the other documents and instruments executed in connection therewith, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Premises, or of any person liable for the Obligations or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Grantee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Deed to Secure Debt or the other documents and instruments executed in connection therewith.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Premises is on Grantor, and Grantee shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Premises, for failure to maintain any policies of insurance, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount or risks insured. Possession by Grantee shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Premises or collateral not in Grantees possession.
(c) Grantee may resort for the payment of the Obligations to any other Collateral held by Grantee in such order and manner as Grantee, in its discretion, may elect. Grantee may take action to recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Grantee thereafter to foreclose this Deed to Secure Debt. The rights of Grantee under this Deed to Secure Debt shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Grantee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Grantee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
(d) All rights of action under the Loan Documents and this Deed to Secure Debt may be enforced by Grantee without the possession of the Loan Documents and without the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto.
(e) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and the acceleration of the maturity hereof, if, at any time prior to foreclosure sale, Grantor or any other person tenders payment of the amount necessary to satisfy the Obligations, the same shall constitute an evasion of the payment terms hereof and/or of the Credit Agreement and shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment hereunder, in which case such payment must include the premium and/or fee required under the prepayment provision, if any, contained herein or in the Credit Agreement. This provision shall be of no force or effect if at the time that such tender of payment is made, Grantor has the right under this Deed to Secure Debt or the Credit Agreement to prepay the Obligations without penalty or premium.
(f) If any payment due hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, is not paid when due, whether on any stated due date, any accelerated due date or any other date or at any other time specified under any of the terms hereof or thereof, then, and in such event, Grantor shall pay interest on the entire outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Obligations in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement. All unpaid and accrued interest shall be secured by this Deed to Secure Debt as a part of the Obligations. Nothing in this Section 8.8 or in any other provision of this Deed to Secure Debt shall constitute an extension of the time of payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of Grantor, or of any of its property, or of the Premises or any part
- 18 -
thereof, Grantee shall be entitled, to the extent not prohibited by law, to retain possession and control of all property now and hereafter covered by this Deed to Secure Debt to Grantee in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable law.
(g) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this 14.6 (whether made by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), the entire Obligations, if not previously due and payable, immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Loan Documents or in this Deed to Secure Debt to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.
Section 8.9 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PREMISES. Grantee may release any portion of the Premises for such consideration as Grantee may require without, as to the remainder of the Premises, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Deed to Secure Debt, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Grantee for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Grantee may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Deed to Secure Debt shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Premises.
Section 8.10 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Premises is not in full compliance with all requirements of applicable law, Grantee may impose additional reasonable requirements upon Grantor in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.
Section 8.11 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Upon reasonable notice to Grantor, Grantee and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Premises at all reasonable times.

In any sale or sales made by Grantee under the power herein granted, or upon any sale or sales under or by virtue of any judicial proceedings: (i) the whole of the Premises, real, personal and mixed, may be sold in one parcel as an entirety, or the Premises may be sold in separate parcels as may be determined by Grantee in its discretion; (ii) all recitals contained in any deed or other instrument of conveyance, assignment or transfer made and delivered by Grantee in pursuance of the powers granted and conferred herein, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein set forth; (iii) such sale or sales shall operate to divest Grantor of all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, under statute or otherwise, in and to the Premises and every part thereof so sold and shall be a perpetual bar, both in law or equity, against Grantor and any and all persons claiming or to claim from, through or under Grantor ; and (iv) Grantee may bid for and purchase the Premises or any part thereof or interest therein and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make payment therefor by presenting to Grantee the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents or the other evidences of Obligations so that there may be endorsed as paid thereon the net sales price (after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action and any other sums which the Grantee is authorized to deduct under this Deed to Secure Debt) which is to be applied to payment of Obligations as herein provided. Each time it shall become necessary to insert an advertisement of foreclosure, and sale is not had, Grantee shall be entitled to receive the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for services and the amount of all advertising charges from Grantor, all of which shall be further secured hereby. Grantee may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Premises and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Premises. Grantee may sell the Premises without giving any warranties as to the Premises. Grantee may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Premises. If Grantee sells any of the Premises upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Grantee and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Premises, Grantee may resell the Premises. Upon the foreclosure and sale of the Premises, or any part thereof, the proceeds of such sale or sales shall be applied in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents; provided that in the event the net proceeds of such sale or sales shall not be sufficient to satisfy in full the Obligations, Grantor hereby promises and agrees to pay any deficiency thereon on demand with interest at the Default Rate. Grantee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Deed to Secure Debt by public announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Grantee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be fixed by the last postponement.

of the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Amount, (B) by receiving from the Company the number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised minus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares having a value, based on the Closing Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise (or if there is no such Closing Price, then based on the Appraised Value as of such day), equal to the Exercise Amount, or (C) any combination of the foregoing. The Company acknowledges that the provisions of clause (B) are intended, in part, to ensure that a full or partial exchange of this Warrant pursuant to such clause (B) will qualify as a conversion, within the meaning of paragraph (d)(3)(iii) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Section 2(a)), any reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include a reference to the exchange of this Warrant into Shares in accordance with the terms of clause (B).
(b) Effectiveness and Delivery. As soon as practicable but not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have received such Notice of Exercise and payment, the Company shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with such Notice of Exercise, (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of Shares specified in such Notice of Exercise, or (ii) a confirmation of an electronic delivery of such Shares to the Holders account at the Depository Trust Company (DTC) or a similar organization, in each case issued in the name of the Warrant Holder or in such other name or names of any Person or Persons designated in such Notice of Exercise. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Share certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Warrant Holder or other Person or Persons designated in such Notice of Exercise shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of record of Shares, all as of the date that such Notice of Exercise and payment shall have been received by the Company.
(c) Surrender of Warrant. The Warrant Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company when it delivers the Notice of Exercise, and in the event of a partial exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder, at the time the Company delivers the Share certificate or certificates issued pursuant to such Notice of Exercise, a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the Warrant, but in all other respects identical to this Warrant.
(d) Legend. Each certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are registered under the Securities Act, shall bear the following legend:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate for Warrant Shares issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (unless at that time such Warrant Shares are registered under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the written opinion of counsel selected by the holder of such certificate (who may be an employee of such holder), which counsel and opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Warrant Shares represented thereby need no longer be subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.
(e) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Shares upon an exercise of the Warrant. If any fraction of a Share would, but for this restriction, be issuable upon an exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of delivering such fractional Share, the Company shall pay to the Warrant
4
Holder, in cash, an amount equal to the same fraction times the Closing Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise (or if there is no such Closing Price, then based on the Appraised Value as of such day).
(f) Expenses and Taxes. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and owner charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Warrant Shares and any new Warrants, except that if the certificates for the Warrant Shares or the new Warrants are to be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Warrant Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall be paid by the Warrant Holder at the time of its delivery of the Notice of Exercise or promptly upon receipt of a written request by the Company for payment.
(g) Automatic Cashless Exercise. To the extent that there has not been an exercise by the Warrant Holder pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, any portion of the Warrant that remains unexercised shall be exercised automatically in whole (not in part), upon the Expiration Date. In the event of a Qualified Change of Control, any portion of the Warrant that remains unexercised shall be exercised automatically in whole (not in part) upon such Qualified Change of Control. Payment by the Warrant Holder upon such automatic exercise shall be in the form of the Warrant Holder receiving from the Company the number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being automatically exercised minus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares having a value (A) in the case of a Qualified Change of Control, equal to the consideration paid for a Warrant Share upon such Qualified Change of Control, or (B) in any other case, based on the Closing Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such automatic exercise (or if there is no such Closing Price, then based on the Appraised Value as of such day), equal to the Exercise Amount.
Section 3. Investment Representation; Unregistered Securities.
(a) By accepting the Warrant, the Warrant Holder represents that it is acquiring the Warrant for its own account for investment purposes and not with the view to any sale or distribution, that the Warrant Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares except under circumstances as will not result in a violation of applicable securities laws, and that the Warrant Holder is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(b) Warrant Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law, by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws, that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such laws or a subsequent disposition thereof is exempt from registration, that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend to such effect, and that appropriate stop transfer instructions may be issued. Warrant Holder further understands that such exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Warrant Holders investment intent expressed herein.
Section 4. Validity of Warrant and Issuance of Shares.
(a) The Company represents and warrants that this Warrant has been duly authorized, is validly issued, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company.
(b) The Company further represents and warrants that on the date hereof it is duly authorized and reserved, and the Company hereby agrees that it will at all times until the Expiration Date have duly authorized and reserved, such number of Shares as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Warrant, and that all such Shares are and will be duly authorized and, when issued upon exercise of the Warrant, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens, equities and other encumbrances.

Section 5. Antidilution Provisions. The Exercise Price in effect at any time, and the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon any exercise of the Warrant, shall be subject to change or adjustment as follows:
(a) Share Reorganization. If the Company shall subdivide its outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, by way of a stock split, stock dividend or otherwise, or consolidate its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares (any such event being herein called a Share Reorganization), then (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the effective date of such Share Reorganization, to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding on such effective date before giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding after giving effect to such Share Reorganization, and (ii) the number of Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted, effective at such time, to a number determined by multiplying the number of Shares subject to purchase immediately before such Share Reorganization by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding after giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately before giving effect to such Share Reorganization.
(b) Pro-Rata Distributions in Respect of Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Shares (Pro-Rata Distribution) for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than pursuant to a Share Reorganization which is governed by Section 5(a)), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset, including cash (in each case, Distributed Property), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of shareholder entitled to receive such distribution, the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date without regard to any limitation on exercise contained therein. The Company will at all times set aside in escrow and keep available for distribution to such holder upon exercise of this Warrant a portion of the Distributed Property to satisfy the distribution to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5(b).
(c) Other Issuances.
(i) If the Company shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute any Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any deemed issuance, sale or distribution described in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below), other than pursuant to a Share Reorganization (which is governed by Section 5(a)) or a Pro-Rata Distribution (which is governed by Section 5(b) (any such event, including any event described in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below, being herein called a Share Distribution), for a consideration per Share less than the Exercise Price then in effect, then, effective upon such Share Distribution, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Share Distribution multiplied by the Exercise Price, plus (B) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Share Distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (1) the total number of Shares outstanding immediately after such Share Distribution multiplied by (2) the Exercise Price. If any Share Distribution shall require an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c), including by operation of paragraph (ii) or (iii) below, then, effective at
6
the time such adjustment is made, the number of Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of Shares subject to purchase immediately before such Share Distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price as adjusted in accordance with this Section 5(c). The provisions of this Section 5(c), including by operation of paragraph (ii) or (iii) below, shall not operate to increase the Exercise Price or reduce the number of Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant.
(ii) If the Company shall issue, sell, distribute (other than a Pro Rata Distribution) or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares such rights, warrants or options being herein called Options and such convertible or exchangeable securities being herein called Convertible Securities), whether or not such Options or the rights to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities in respect of such Options are immediately exercisable or exercisable prior to the Expiration Date or thereafter, and the price per Share for which Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities in respect of such Options (determined by dividing (x) the aggregate amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Options to acquire Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Exercise Price, then, for purposes of Section 5(c)(i), the total maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration of such price per Share, determined as provided above, therefor. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (iv) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iii) If the Company shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute (other than a Pro-Rata Distribution) (including by assumption) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable or exercisable prior to the Expiration Date or thereafter, and the price per Share for which Shares are issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (x) the aggregate amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the maximum number of Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Exercise Price, then, for purposes of Section 5(c)(i), the total maximum number of Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible Securities thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration such price per Share, determined as provided above, therefor. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (iv) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iv) If (x) the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Section 5(c)(ii) or the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Sections 5(c)(ii) or 5(c)(iii) or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
7
referred to in Sections 5(c)(ii) or 5(c)(iii) are convertible into or exchangeable for Shares shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution upon an event which results in a related adjustment pursuant to this Section 5), or (y) any of such Options or Convertible Securities shall have terminated, lapsed or expired, the Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted (effective only with respect to any exercise of this Warrant after such readjustment) to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance, sale, distribution or grant of such Options or Convertible Securities been made based upon such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be (in the case of any event referred to in clause (x) of this paragraph (iv)) or had such adjustment not been made (in the case of any event referred to in clause (y) of this paragraph (iv)).
(v) If any Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefore, less any expenses in excess of reasonable and customary expenses in connection therewith. If any Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration at the time of its receipt by the Company as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, less any expenses in excess of reasonable and customary expenses incurred in connection therewith. If any Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefore shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving entity as shall be attributable to such Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, at the time of the merger as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (in making such determination the members of its Board of Directors may give effect to the proposed acquisition and incorporate the prospects of the performance of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation over the 12 month period following the acquisition, including any reasonably demonstrate synergistic or value enhancing factors). If any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(c) in respect of: (i) the issuance of securities upon the exercise or conversion of any securities issued by the Company on prior to the date hereof, (ii) the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, (iii) the grant of options, warrants, Shares or other common stock equivalents under any duly authorized employee stock option, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan of the Company whether now existing or hereafter approved by the board of directors of the Company and its shareholders in the future, and the issuance of Shares in respect thereof, (iv) the issuance of securities in connection with a Strategic Transaction, or (v) the issuance of securities in a transaction described in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 (collectively, Excluded Issuances). For purposes of this paragraph, a Strategic Transaction means a transaction or relationship in which (1) the Company issues Shares of Common Stock that the Board of Directors of the Company determined in good faith is, itself or through its Subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company (or a shareholder thereof) and (2) the Company expects to receive benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include (x) a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to a Person whose primary business is investing in securities or (y) issuances to lenders.
(d) Above Market Purchases of Securities. If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company or any Subsidiary shall repurchase (a Repurchase), by self-tender offer or otherwise, any securities of the Company at an aggregate repurchase price that exceeds the aggregate Market Price for the securities
8
repurchased determined as of the Business Day immediately prior to the earliest of (i) the date of such Repurchase, (ii) the commencement of an offer to repurchase or (iii) the public announcement of either (such date being referred to as the Determination Date), then the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as follows:
(A) The Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale times (B) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which shall be (x) the product of (1) the Market Price for the Shares as of the Determination Date times (2) the number of Shares outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Repurchase less (y) the Repurchase Premium (as defined below), and (II) the denominator of which shall be (x) the product of (1) the Market Price for the Shares as of the Determination Date times (2) the number of Shares outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Repurchase.
(B) The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number of Shares determined by multiplying (x) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such distribution times (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment in clause (A) of this Section 5(d) and (2) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
The amount by which the aggregate repurchase price for all securities repurchased in any Repurchase (including for such purposes any fees or other direct or indirect consideration payable in connection therewith) exceeds the aggregate Market Price for such securities is referred to as the Repurchase Premium.
(e) Corporate Reorganization. Subject to an automatic cashless exercise in the event of a Qualified Change of Control pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof, in which case this Section 5(e) shall be inapplicable, if any (i) capital reorganization; (ii) reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; (iii) merger, consolidation or reorganization or other similar transaction or series of related transactions which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto representing immediately thereafter (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) less than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company or such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; (iv) sale, lease, license, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (v) sale of shares of capital stock of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, representing at least 50% of the voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company; or (vi) the acquisition by any person (together with his, her or its Affiliates) or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act) acquires, directly or indirectly, the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of outstanding shares of capital stock and/or other equity securities of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, one or more tender offers or exchange offers), representing at least 50% of the voting power of or economic interests in the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation (each of (i)-(vi) above a Corporate Reorganization) shall be effected, then the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrant Holder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Warrant Holder, shares of stock in the surviving or acquiring entity (Acquirer), as the case may be, such that the aggregate value of the Warrant Holders warrants to purchase such number of shares, where the value of each new warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (A) hereto, is equivalent
9
to the aggregate value of the Warrants held by such Warrant Holder, where the value of each Warrant to purchase one share in the Company is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth Appendix (B) hereto. Furthermore, the new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer referred to herein shall have the same expiration date as the Warrants, and shall have a strike price, KAcq, that is calculated in accordance with Appendix (A) hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, if the surviving or acquiring entity, as the case may be, is a member of a consolidated group for financial reporting purposes, the Acquirer shall be deemed to be the parent of such consolidated group for purposes of this Section 5(e) and Appendix (A) hereto.
Moreover, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrant Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect any such Corporate Reorganization unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume by written instrument, reasonably deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Requisite Holders to be satisfactory in form and substance, the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrants, at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under these Warrants. The provisions of this Section 5(e) shall similarly apply to successive Corporate Reorganizations. If the Company, in spite of using its best efforts, is unable to cause these Warrants to continue in full force and effect until the Expiration Date in connection with any Corporate Reorganization, then the Company shall pay the Warrant Holders an amount per Warrant to purchase one share in the Company that is calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (B) hereto. Such payment shall be made in cash in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving cash from the Acquirer at the closing of the transaction, and shall be made in shares of the Company (with the value of each share in the Company is determined according to SCorp in Appendix (B) hereto) in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving shares in the Acquirer or other entity at the closing of the transaction. In the event that the shareholders of the Company receive both cash and shares at the closing of the transaction, such payment to the Warrant Holders shall be also be made in both cash and shares in the same proportion as the consideration received by the shareholders.
(f) Adjustment Rules.
(i) Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made successively whenever any event referred to herein shall occur, except that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, no adjustment shall be made to the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Warrant Holder (or to the Exercise Price) if such adjustment represents less than 1% of the number of Warrant Shares previously required to be so delivered, but any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 1% or more of the number of Warrant Shares to be so delivered.
(ii) No adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 5 in respect of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant;
(iii) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Shares for any purpose referred to in this Section 5, then (x) such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance, sale, distribution or grant in question and (y) if the Company shall legally abandon such action prior to effecting such action, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 5 in respect of such action.
10
(iv) In computing adjustments under this Section 5, (A) fractional interests in Shares shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a Share, and (B) calculations of the Exercise Price shall be carried to the nearest one-thousandth of one cent.
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall cause the aggregate Exercise Price for all of the Warrant Shares to increase to more than $100.00.
(g) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Shares which the Warrant Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant.
(h) Notice of Adjustment. Not less than 10 days prior to the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of any action which requires or might require an adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall give notice to the Warrant Holder of such event, describing such event in reasonable detail and specifying the record date or effective date, as the case may be, and, if determinable, the required adjustment and computation thereof. If the required adjustment is not determinable as the time of such notice, the Company shall give notice to the Warrant Holder of such adjustment and computation as soon as reasonably practicable after such adjustment becomes determinable. In connection with any such adjustment or readjustment, at its sole cost and expense, the Company will also cause independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be the regular auditors of the Company) selected by the Company to verify its computations and, in connection with the preparation of the Companys quarterly financial statements prepare a report setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or to be received by the Company for any Share Distribution issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (ii) the number of Shares outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if required by this Section 5) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such report to the Warrant Holder and will, upon the written request at any time of the Warrant Holder, furnish to such holder a like report setting forth the Exercise Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all such reports at its office and will cause the same to be available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by the Warrant Holder or any prospective purchaser of this Warrant designated by the Warrant Holder.
(i) Subsequent Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, any successor or replacement warrants issued theretofore or thereafter may continue to express the same Exercise Price per Share and number and kind of Warrant Shares as are stated in this Warrant.
(j) Disputes. Any dispute which arises between the Warrant Holder and the Company with respect to the calculation of the adjusted Exercise Price or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise shall be determined by the independent auditors of the Company, and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the holders of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares if made in good faith and without manifest error.
11
(k) Other Actions Affecting Shares.
(i) Equitable Equivalent. In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of this Section 5 set forth above hereof are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not, in the opinion of the Warrant Holder, fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of this Section 5, then, in each such case, at the request of the Warrant Holder, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent investment bankers of recognized national standing (which shall be completely independent of the Company and shall be satisfactory to the holder or the Requisite Holders), which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 5, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the holder of this Warrant and shall make the adjustments described therein.
(ii) No Avoidance. The Company shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment as if the holder was a shareholder of the Company entitled to the benefit of fiduciary duties afforded to shareholders under Pennsylvania law.
(l) Calculation of Consideration Received. The consideration for the issue or sale of any Share Distribution shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such consideration:
(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the amount of cash actually received by the Company without reduction for any expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any commissions or compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in connection with such issue or sale;
(ii) insofar as it consists of property (including securities) other than cash actually received by the Company, be computed at the Appraised Value thereof at the time of such issue or sale; and
(iii) insofar as it consists neither of cash nor of other property, be computed as having no value.
(m) Adjustment of Par Value. If for any reason (including the operation of the adjustment provisions set forth in this Warrant), the Exercise Price on any date of exercise of this Warrant shall not be lawful and adequate consideration for the issuance of the relevant Warrant Shares, then the Company shall take such steps as are necessary (including the amendment of its certificate of incorporation so as to reduce the par value of the Shares) to cause such Exercise Price to be adequate and lawful consideration on the date the payment thereof is due, but if the Company shall fail to take such steps, then the Company acknowledges that the Warrant Holder shall have been damaged by the Company in an amount equal to an amount, which, when added to the total Exercise Price for the relevant Warrant Shares, would equal lawful and adequate consideration for the issuance of such Warrant Shares, and the Company irrevocably agrees that if the Warrant Holder shall then forgive the right to recover such damages from the Company, such forgiveness shall constitute, and Company shall accept such forgiveness as, additional lawful consideration for the issuance of the relevant Warrant Shares.
12
(n) Appraisal.
(i) If the Requisite Holders shall, for any reason whatsoever, disagree with the Companys determination of the Appraised Value of a Share, then such holders shall by notice to the Company (an Appraisal Notice) given within sixty (60) days after the Company notifies the holders of such determination, elect to dispute such determination, and such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section.
(ii) The Company shall within ten (10) days after an Appraisal Notice shall have been given, engage an independent investment bank of national repute (the Appraiser) selected by the Requisite Holders and retained pursuant to an engagement letter between the Company and the Appraiser with respect to such valuation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Requisite Holders, to make an independent determination of the Appraised Value of a Share; such value shall be determined without deduction for (a) liquidity considerations, (b) minority shareholder status, or (c) any liquidation or other preference or any right of redemption in favor of any other equity securities of the Company. The costs of engagement of such investment bank for any such determination of Appraised Value shall be paid by the Company.
(o) Trading Market Limitation.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Warrant to the contrary, unless and until the Shareholder Approval is received, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall require the Company to issue more than [ ]4 Shares upon exercise of the Warrant (Warrant Share Cap); provided that the Warrant Share Cap shall be adjusted in connection with any Share Reorganization in the same manner as the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted pursuant to Section 5(a).
(ii) As a condition precedent to the Company consummating any transaction that, but for the application of Section 5(o)(i), would have resulted in an adjustment which would have required the Company to issue Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in excess of the Warrant Share Cap, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval and take such other actions as reasonably necessary (collectively, the Shareholder Approval) to permit the issuance of Shares in excess of the Warrant Share Cap.
Section 6. Transfer of Warrant. The Warrant Holder upon transfer of the Warrant must deliver to the Company a duly executed Warrant Assignment in the form of Exhibit B and upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant with appropriate changes to reflect such Assignment, in the name or names of the assignee or assignees specified in the Warrant Assignment or other instrument of assignment and, if the Warrant Holders entire interest is not being transferred or assigned, in the name of the Warrant Holder, and upon the Companys execution and delivery of such new Warrant, this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled; and provided that any assignee shall have all of the rights of an Initial Holder hereunder. The Warrant Holder shall pay any transfer tax imposed in connection with such assignment (if any). Any transfer or exchange of this Warrant shall be without charge to the Warrant Holder (except as provided above with respect to transfer taxes, if any) and any new Warrant issued shall be dated the date hereof.
Section 7. Assistance in Disposition of Warrant or Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event that it becomes unlawful for the Warrant Holder to continue to hold the Warrant, in whole or in part, or some or all of the Shares held by it, or restrictions are imposed on any the Warrant Holder by any statute, regulation or governmental authority which, in the judgment of the Warrant Holder, make it unduly burdensome to continue to hold the Warrant or such Shares, the Warrant
4 | Number shall equal 15% of the outstanding Shares on the issue date of this Warrant. |
13
Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of the Warrant (subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in Section 6) or its Shares, and the Company agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the Warrant Holder in disposing of the Warrant and such Shares in a prompt and orderly manner and, at the request of the Warrant Holder, to provide (and authorize the Warrant Holder to provide) financial and other information concerning the Company to any prospective purchaser of the Warrant or Shares owned by the Warrant Holder.
Section 8 Identity of Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. Upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Shares, the Company will mail to the Warrant Holder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent.
Section 9. Covenants. The Company agrees that:
(a) Information. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding or any Initial Holder holds any Warrant Shares, the Company will deliver to the Warrant Holder (or Initial Holder):

(iii) promptly upon the filing thereof, copies of all registration statements (other than the exhibits thereto and any registration statements on Form S-8 or its equivalent) and to the extent the Company is required by law or pursuant to the terms of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company to prepare such reports, any annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act actually prepared by the Company as soon as available; and
(iv) promptly, upon the issuance thereof, all statements and notices sent to the Companys shareholders.

necessary for the Warrant Holder or holder of Warrant Shares to complete and file any information reporting forms currently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition to the availability of an exemption from the Securities Act for the sale of any Warrants or Warrant Shares, (iii) take such further action as the Warrant Holder may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable the Warrant Holder to sell Warrant Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission, and (iv) upon the request of the Warrant Holder, deliver to the Warrant Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such reporting requirements; provided that this subsection (b) shall not require the Company to make any filing under the Securities Act or Exchange Act which the Company is not otherwise obligated to make.
(c) Obtaining of Governmental Approvals and Stock Exchange Listings. The Company will, at its own expense, (i) obtain and keep effective any and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities which may from time to time be required of the Company in order to satisfy its obligations hereunder, and (ii) take all action which may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares, immediately upon their issuance upon the exercise of the Warrants, will be listed on Trading Market, if any, on which the Shares are then listed.
(d) Structural Dilution. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue, sell, distribute or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of any equity securities of such Subsidiary or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities (or any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of any such convertible or exchangeable securities), whether or not immediately exercisable or exercisable prior to the Expiration Date or thereafter.
(e) Notices Of Corporate Action. In the event of:
(i) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
(ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger involving the Company and any other Person or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to any other Person, or any Corporate Reorganization, or
(iii) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, or
(iv) any issuance of any Shares, Convertible Security or Option by the Company,
the Company will mail to the Warrant Holder a notice specifying (i) the date or expected date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, (ii) the date or expected date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, (iii) the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Shares (or other securities under Section 5(d)) shall be entitled to exchange their Shares (or other securities under Section 5(d)) for the securities or other property deliverable upon such
15
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and a description in reasonable detail of the transaction and (iv) the date of such issuance, together with a description of the security so issued and the consideration received by the Company therefor. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the date therein specified.
Section 10. Lost, Mutilated or Missing Warrants. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnification satisfactory to the Company (in the case of an Initial Holder its unsecured, unbonded agreement of indemnity or affidavit of loss shall be sufficient) or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares.
Section 11. Waivers; Amendments. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended or waived with (but only with) the written consent of the Company and the Requisite Holders; provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the written consent of the Company and the Warrant Holder, (a) change the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant or the Exercise Price, (b) shorten the Expiration Date, or (c) amend, modify or waive the provisions of this Section or the definition of Requisite Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in compliance with this Section shall be binding upon the Company and the Warrant Holder. The Company shall give prompt notice to the Warrant Holder of any amendment or waiver effected in compliance with this Section. No failure or delay of the Company or the Warrant Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereon or the exercise of any other right or power. No notice or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or future notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The rights and remedies of the Company and the Warrant Holder hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Shareholder Rights. The Warrant shall not entitle any Warrant Holder, prior to the exercise of the Warrant, to any voting rights as a shareholder of the Company.
(b) Expenses. The Company shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Warrant Holder, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the preparation of the Warrant, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment or modification hereof (regardless of whether the same becomes effective). The Company shall not be required to pay any expenses of the Warrant Holder under any other circumstance including those arising solely in connection with a transfer of the Warrant.
(c) Successors and Assigns. All the provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Holder shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
(d) Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
16
(e) Notices. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficient if sent by first-class mail or courier, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows: (a) if to the Company, addressed to the Company at its address for notices as set forth below its signature hereon or any other address as the Company may hereafter notify to the Warrant Holder and(b) if to the Warrant Holder, addressed to such address as the Warrant Holder may hereafter from time to time notify to the Company for the purposes of notice hereunder.
(f) Equitable Remedies. Without limiting the rights of the Company and the Warrant Holder to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to such party for the other parties failure to perform its obligations hereunder, the Company and the Warrant Holder each hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform any obligations hereunder would be inadequate and that each shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure.
(g) Continued Effect. Rights and benefits conferred on the holders of Warrant Shares pursuant to the provisions hereof shall continue to inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, such holders, notwithstanding the surrender of the Warrant to, and its cancellation by, the Company upon the full or partial exercise or repurchase hereof.
(h) Confidentiality. The Warrant Holder agrees to keep confidential any proprietary information relating to the Company delivered by the Company hereunder; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Warrant Holder from disclosing such information: (i) to any holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares, (ii) to any Affiliate of any holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares or any actual or potential transferee of the rights or obligations hereunder that agrees to be bound by this Section 12(h), (iii) upon order, subpoena, or other process of any court or administrative agency or otherwise required by law, (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such party, (v) which has been publicly disclosed, (vi) which has been obtained from any Person that is not a party hereto or an affiliate of any such party and which was not disclosed to the Warrant Holder in violation of a confidentiality obligation to the Company known to the Warrant Holder, (vii) as may be required in connection with the exercise of any remedy, or the resolution of any dispute hereunder (provided that the Warrant Holder uses commercially reasonable efforts to prevent further dissemination of the information), or (viii) to the legal counsel or certified public accountants for any holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares.
(i) Governing Law. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW.

APPENDIX A
Black Scholes Option Pricing formula to be used when calculating the value of each new warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer shall be:
CAcq = SAcqe-l(TAcq-tAcq)N(d1) KAcqe-r(TAcq-tAcq)N(d2), where
CAcq = value of each warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer
SAcq = price of Acquirers stock as determined by reference to the average of the closing prices on the securities exchange over the 20-day period ending three trading days prior to the closing of the Corporate Reorganization described in Section 5(d) if the Acquirers stock is then traded on such exchange or system, or the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) in the over-the-counter market over the 20-day period ending three trading days prior to the closing of the Corporate Reorganization if the Acquirers stock is then actively traded in the over-the-counter market, or the then most recently completed financing if the Acquirers stock is not then traded on a securities exchange or system or in the over-the-counter market.
TAcq = expiration date of new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer = TCorp
tAcq = date of issue of new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer
TAcq-tAcq = time until warrant expiration, expressed in years
s = volatility = annualized standard deviation of daily log-returns (using a 262-day annualization factor) of the Acquirers stock price on the securities exchange over a 20-day trading period, determined by the Warrant Holders, that is within the 100-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately after the public announcement of the Corporate Reorganization described in Section 5(d) if the Acquirers stock is then traded on such exchange or system, or the annualized standard deviation of daily-log returns (using a 262-day annualization factor) of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) in the over-the-counter market over a 20-day trading period, determined by the Warrant Holder, that is within the 100-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately after the public announcement of the Corporate Reorganization if the Acquirers stock is then actively traded in the over-the-counter market, or 0.6 (or 60%) if the Acquirers stock is not then traded on a securities exchange or system or in the over-the-counter market.
N = cumulative normal distribution function
d1 = (ln(SAcq/KAcq) + (r-l+s2/2)(TAcq-tAcq)) ÷ (sÖ(TAcq-tAcq))
ln = natural logarithm
l = dividend rate of the Acquirer for the most recent 12-month period at the time of closing of the Corporate Reorganization.
KAcq = strike price of new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer = KCorp * (SAcq / SCorp)
r = annual yield, as reported by Bloomberg at time tAcq, of the United States Treasury security measuring the nearest time TAcq
d2 = d1- sÖ(TAcq-tAcq)
APPENDIX B
Black Scholes Option Pricing formula to be used when calculating the value of each Warrant to purchase one share in the Company shall be:
CCorp = SCorpe-l(TCorp-tCorp)N(d1) KCorpe-r(TCorp-tCorp)N(d2), where
CCorp = value of each Warrant to purchase one share in the Company
SCorp = price of Company stock as determined by reference to the average of the closing prices on the securities exchange over the 20-day period ending three trading days prior to the closing of the Corporate Reorganization described in Section 5(d) if the Companys stock is then traded on such exchange or system, or the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) in the over-the-counter market over the 20-day period ending three trading days prior to the closing of the Corporate Reorganization if the Companys stock is then actively traded in the over-the-counter market, or the then most recently completed financing if the Companys stock is not then traded on a securities exchange or system or in the over-the-counter market.
TCorp = expiration date of Warrants to purchase shares in the Company
tCorp = date of public announcement of transaction
TCorp-tCorp = time until Warrant expiration, expressed in years
s = volatility = the annualized standard deviation of daily log-returns (using a 262-day annualization factor) of the Companys stock price on the securities exchange over a 20-day trading period, determined by the Warrant Holders, that is within the 100-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately after the public announcement of the Corporate Reorganization described in Section 5(d) if the Companys stock is then traded on such exchange or system, or the annualized standard deviation of daily-log returns (using a 262-day annualization factor) of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) in the over-the-counter market over a 20-day trading period, determined by the Warrant Holder, that is within the 100-day trading period ending on the trading day immediately after the public announcement of the Corporate Reorganization if the Companys stock is then actively traded in the over-the-counter market, or 0.6 (or 60%) if the Companys stock is not then traded on a securities exchange or system or in the over-the-counter market.

3
incurred by the Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guarantee, except to the extent such amounts arise or are incurred as a consequence of the Lenders own gross negligence or willful misconduct;
provided, that each Guarantor shall only be liable under this Guarantee for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and each Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that the Lender exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against such Guarantor or any other Person before or as a condition to the obligations of such Guarantor becoming due hereunder.
Section 2.2 Reinstatement, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (including on or after the Termination Date), as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Lender, including upon the occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in Section 9.1(h) of the Credit Agreement or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 2.3 Guarantee Absolute, Etc. This Guarantee shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until (unless reinstated pursuant to Section 2.2 above) the Termination Date has occurred. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of each Loan Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lender with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Loan Document;
(b) the failure of the Lender (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against such Guarantor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor (including such Guarantor and any other Guarantor) of, or collateral securing, any Obligations;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligation, or any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document;
(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance),
4
recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise;
(e) any addition, exchange or release of any collateral or of any Person that is (or will become) a guarantor of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to, or waiver or release of, or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guarantee held by the Lender securing any of the Obligations; or
(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Obligor, any surety or any guarantor (including any Guarantor).
Section 2.4 Setoff. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender, without the requirement that any notice be given to such Guarantor (such notice being expressly waived by such Guarantor), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each Guarantor hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Guarantor then or thereafter maintained with or on behalf of the Lender. The Lender agrees to notify such Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by the Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which the Lender may have.
Section 2.5 Waiver, Etc. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guarantee and any requirement that the Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against any Obligor or any other Person (including any Guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing the Obligations, as the case may be.
Section 2.6 Postponement of Subrogation, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under any Loan Document to which it is a party, nor shall such Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Obligor or Guarantor, in respect of any payment made under any Loan Document or otherwise, until following the Termination Date. Any amount paid to such Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the Termination Date shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall immediately be paid and turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed in favor of the Lender, if required), to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 2.7; provided, that if such Guarantor has made payment to the Lender of all or any part of the Obligations and the Termination Date has occurred, then, at such Guarantors request, the Lender will, at the expense of such Guarantor, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents (without recourse and without
5
representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, at all times prior to the Termination Date, such Guarantor shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the Borrower or any other Obligor or Guarantor (or their successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this Guarantee to the Lender.
Section 2.7 Payments; Application. Each Guarantor agrees that all obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be paid solely in U.S. Dollars to the Lender in immediately available funds, without set-off, counterclaim or other defense and in accordance with Sections 3.2, 3.3, 4.3 and 4.4 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any Non-Excluded Taxes, such Guarantor hereby agreeing to comply with and be bound by the provisions of Sections 3.2, 3.3, 4.3 and 4.4 of the Credit Agreement in respect of all payments and application of such payments made by it hereunder and the provisions of which Sections are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Guarantee by this reference as if set forth herein; provided, that references to the Borrower in such Sections shall be deemed to be references to such Guarantor, and references to this Agreement in such Sections shall be deemed to be references to this Guarantee.
