Such delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Cashless Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, if the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise is greater than the Warrant Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event Company shall issue to Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

	X = Y - (A)(Y)
	B

Where	X =	the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

	Y =	the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.

	A =	the Warrant Price.

	B =	the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, the Share Certificates shall be in the name of, and delivered to, Holder, or such other Person as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant.

(the “Credit Agreement”), reducing the principal amount owed by an amount equal to the product of the Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, Share Certificates shall be in the name of, and delivered to, Holder, or such other Person as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to Holder within 3 Trading Days after the exercise of this Warrant.

4. Representations and Warranties of Holder and Company.

(a) Representations and Warranties by Holder. Holder represents and warrants to Company with respect to this purchase as follows:

(i) Authorization. All company action on the part of Holder, its officers, directors, shareholders, members or partners, as applicable, necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of its obligations under this Warrant has been taken and this Warrant constitutes the legally binding and valid obligation of Holder enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(ii) Evaluation. Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies similar to Company so that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in Company and has the capacity to protect its interests.

(iii) Resale. Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (collectively the “Securities”) for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Holder understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein and the other representations and warranties of Holder contained herein.

(iv) Rule 144. Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

(v) Accredited Investor. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

(vi) Opportunity To Discuss. Holder has read, understood, and is familiar with Company’s public filings available at the Securities and Exchange Commission's website and has had an opportunity to discuss Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its management and an opportunity to review Company’s facilities.

Subject to the accuracy of Holder’s representations and warranties contained in Section 4(a), the offer, sale and issuance of the Warrant Shares, as contemplated by this Warrant, are exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable United States federal and state securities laws, and neither Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf has or will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

(v) No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Warrant will not result in (a) any violation of, conflict with, or constitute a default under, with or

without the passage of time or the giving of notice (1) any provision of Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws; (2) any provision of any material judgment, decree, or order to which Company is a party, by which it is bound, or to which any of its material assets are subject; (3) any material contract, obligation, or commitment to which Company is a party or by which it is bound; or (4) any material statute, rule, or governmental regulation applicable to Company, or (b) the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material assets of Company.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS (1) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT COVERING THE SECURITIES, (2) THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT OR (3) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COMPANY IS DELIVERED STATING THAT SUCH DISPOSITION IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION (WHICH OPINION MAY BE RENDERED BY IN-HOUSE COUNSEL).

Company may also instruct its transfer agent not to allow the transfer of any of the Warrant Shares unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied.

(b) Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. The legend relating to the Act endorsed on a certificate pursuant to paragraph 5(a) of this Warrant shall be removed and Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to Holder if (i) the Securities are registered under the Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act is available, or (ii) Company has received an opinion of counsel (which may include the opinion of in-house counsel) reasonably satisfactory to Company to the effect that public sale, transfer or assignment of the Securities may be made without registration and without compliance with any restriction.

6. Conditions to Transfer or Exercise of Warrant. Subject to the further provisions of this Section 6, this Warrant and the Warrant Shares represented hereby may be sold, transferred, conveyed or assigned by Holder. This Warrant may not be transferred to any person who is not

an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. It shall be a condition to any transfer or exercise of this Warrant that at the time of such transfer or exercise, Holder shall provide Company with a representation in writing that Holder or transferee is acquiring this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise for investment purposes only, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to any sale or distribution. As further condition to each transfer, at the request of Company, Holder shall surrender this Warrant to Company and the transferee shall receive and accept a Warrant, of like terms, tenor and date, executed by Company.

7. Adjustment for Certain Events.

(a) Adjustment Exceptions. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 7 (in each case, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 7); provided that this Section 7 will not apply to: (i) the issuance of any Additional Warrants (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (ii) the issuance of any Common Stock upon the exercise of the Closing Date Warrants (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or any Additional Warrants; (iii) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Company’s existing outstanding 12% cumulative participating perpetual convertible preferred stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Certificate of the Powers, Designations, Preferences and Rights of the 12% Cumulative Participating Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock as such conversion terms thereof are in effect as of April 15, 2011; (iv) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Company’s existing outstanding 7.95% convertible senior securities due 2015, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Indenture for the 7.95% Convertible Senior Securities due 2015 as such conversion terms thereof are in effect as of April 15, 2011; and (v) the issuance of Common Stock as equity compensation to employees, officers, directors and independent contractor brokers (in each case including as inducements to new hires or appointees) (collectively the “Equity Compensation Grants”), provided that this exception to the adjustment provisions of this Section 7 is limited to the following Equity Compensation Grants: (A) the issuance of any shares of common stock pursuant to any outstanding (as of April 15, 2011) options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other equity grants (the “Existing Equity Compensation”), and (B) the issuance of an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the form of options, restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other equity grants (the “Additional Equity Compensation”) and the issuance of the Common Stock underlying such Additional Equity Compensation plus any Additional Equity Compensation and any Existing Equity Compensation that is forfeited, expired or terminated provided that any amount issued in excess of the above will result in any requisite adjustment under this Section 7.

(b) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except in the case of an event described in either Section 7(d) or Section 7(e), if Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 7(c) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than either: (i) the Per Share Market Value or (ii) the Trigger Price, as such amounts are proportionately adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock after the Issue Date, (collectively the “Original Prices” and the greater of (i) or (ii) the “Original Adjustment Price”), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant

Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) by a fraction (which shall in no event be less than one):

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale); and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate amount of consideration, if any, received by Company upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) would purchase at the Original Adjustment Price.

(c) Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares. For purposes of determining the adjusted number of Warrant Shares under Section 7(b) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

(i) Issuance of Options. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 7(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than either of the Original Prices in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the number of Warrant Shares under Section 7(b)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 7(b)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (z), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

(ii) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 7(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than either of the Original Prices in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable

upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 7(b)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 7(b)) of (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (B) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c)(iii), (A) no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (B) no further adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the number of Warrant Shares have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 7(c).

(iii) Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (A) the total amount received or receivable by Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(i) or Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(i) or Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(i) or Section 7(c)(ii) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 7(c)(i) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 7) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is increased.

(iv) Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 7 (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by Company), the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 to the number of Warrant Shares which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued, provided that this Section 7(c)(iv) will not apply to the extent the Warrant is exercised.

(v) Calculation of Consideration Received. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in

accordance with Section 7(c), any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by Company therefor; (B) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by Company shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by Company shall be the Per Share Market Value for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by Company in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (D) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration shall be the dollar amount thereof and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined by an Independent Appraiser.

(vi) Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares in accordance with this Section 7, in case Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be, provided such distribution is actually made.

(vii) Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 7.

(viii) Other Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7(c), if Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in securities of Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), cash or other property, then, and in each such event, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of the Warrant, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of securities of Company, cash or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrant been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Exercise Date (as hereinafter defined), retained such securities, cash or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 7 with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities, cash or other property in an

amount equal to the amount of such securities, cash or other property as the Holder would have received if the Warrant had been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event.

(d) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of Company payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately increased. If Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 7(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(e) Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. Subject to Section 2(a), in the event of any (i) capital reorganization of Company, (ii) reclassification of the stock of Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (iii) consolidation or merger of Company with or into another Person, (iv) sale of all or substantially all of Company's assets to another Person, (v) transaction constituting a Fundamental Change or (v) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 7(d)), in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each Warrant shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder's rights under this Warrant to insure that the provisions of this Section 7 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the event of a Fundamental Change, following which the Warrants would cease to represent the right to acquire securities, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to the terms hereof. The provisions of this Section 7(e) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. Company shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than Company) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to the Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder shall be entitled to receive upon

exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Warrant is exercisable in accordance with Section 2 hereof with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7(e), the Holder shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the exercise rights contained in Section 3 instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 7(e) with respect to this Warrant.

(f) Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 7; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(f) shall decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7.

8. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the kind or number of securities issuable under this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Company shall prepare a certificate signed by an officer of Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and number or kind of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by certified or registered mail, return receipt required, postage prepaid) within thirty (30) days of such adjustment to Holder as set forth in Section 20 hereof.

9. Financial and Other Reports. From time to time up to the earlier of the Expiration Date or the complete exercise of this Warrant, Company shall furnish to Holder, if Company is a private company, (a) unaudited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements within 30 days of each fiscal month of each fiscal year, certified by Company’s president or chief financial officer, and (b) Company’s complete annual audited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements certified by an independent certified public accountant selected by Company within 120 days of the fiscal year end or, if sooner, promptly following such time as Company’s Board of Directors receives the audit. If Company is a publicly held company, it shall deliver to Holder quarterly unaudited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements and annual audited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements, certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants, within 5 days after the statements are required to be provided to the SEC. All such statements are to be prepared using GAAP and, if Company is a publicly held company, are to be in compliance with SEC requirements. At the time of Company’s delivery of quarterly financial statements in accordance with this Section 9, Company shall also deliver to Holder an updated capitalization table of Company in the form attached hereto as Annex A. For so long as Company is a privately held company, Holder agrees to hold in confidence and trust and not to improperly use or disclose any information provided to or learned by Holder in connection with its rights under this Section 9 regarding the business as conducted by Company as of today’s date on the same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 11.8 of the Credit Agreement.

10. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant is transferable on the books of Company at its principal office by the registered Holder upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, subject to compliance with Section 6 and applicable federal and state securities laws. Company shall issue and deliver to the transferee a new Warrant representing the Warrant so transferred.

Upon any partial transfer, Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant with respect to the Warrant not so transferred.
