(b) Within [****] days following the date the Company delivers the Data Trigger Notification to the Warrant Holder, the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Holder a draft of an updated Disclosure Schedule. Such draft of an updated Disclosure Schedule shall include all disclosure necessary to make the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Warrant true and correct as though made as of the date of delivery of the draft updated Disclosure Schedule, except that the disclosure with respect to representations and warranties that by their terms speak as of a specified date will be the disclosure necessary to make such representations and warranties true and correct as of such date.

The Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to answer any diligence requests as promptly as practicable.

Any amendment or supplement included in such updated Disclosure Schedule shall not cure any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made as of a date prior to the delivery of such updated Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Warrant, but, with respect to amendments or supplements to disclose information regarding events occurring after the date of the most recent prior updated Disclosure Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(a) (or, if no updated Disclosure Schedule has been delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(a), after the date of this Warrant), such updated Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to qualify the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 as made as of the date of such updated Disclosure Schedule.

(d) In the event that any updated Disclosure Schedule that is delivered in accordance with Section 2.2(c) contains information that has not previously been disclosed to the Warrant Holder and that materially modifies the applicable representation and warranty (as modified by the previous Disclosure Schedule), the Warrant Holder may cause the Warrant Exercise Closing Date to be delayed for a reasonable period of time not to exceed [****] days and may request additional diligence materials and information related to the information that was not previously disclosed to the Warrant Holder, and the Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to respond to any such diligence request promptly and to provide the requested materials and information to the Warrant Holder, to the extent available, within [****] Business Days of such request by the Warrant Holder.

The Company may continue to provide updated Disclosure Schedules in accordance with Section 2.2(a) such that the most recently delivered Disclosure Schedule is accurate as of the Warrant Exercise Closing Date, as so extended, and with respect to any such updated Disclosure Schedules, the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 2.2(d) shall apply again, and the Warrant Exercise Closing Date may be extended for additional periods of time in accordance therewith.

(e) In connection with delivery of any updated Disclosure Schedule, the Company shall simultaneously deliver to the Warrant Holder copies of all Contracts or other documents disclosed in the updated Disclosure Schedule that have not been included in a previous Disclosure Schedule or previously provided to the Warrant Holder.

(f) Any updated Disclosure Schedule shall be prepared in a form and manner reasonably consistent with the Disclosure Schedule delivered to the Warrant Holder on the date of this Warrant, and reasonably sufficient to put the Warrant Holder on notice of the information being disclosed with reasonable specificity.

Section 2.3. Exercise Notice.

(a) At any time during the period commencing on the date the Company receives the Warrant Grant Payment and continuing until 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time on the sixtieth (60th) day after the date the Warrant Holder receives the Data Trigger Notification from the Company (as such period may be extended pursuant to Section 2.2(d), the “Review Period”), the Warrant Holder may (in its sole discretion), but shall not be obligated to, deliver to the Company written notice (an “Exercise Notice”) that it intends to exercise this Warrant and the anticipated Warrant Exercise Closing Date (the “Target Warrant Exercise Closing Date’), which date may not be later than [****] days after the date the Exercise Notice is given. Following the Warrant Holder’s delivery of an Exercise Notice to the Company, the Company and the Warrant Holder shall promptly take all actions set forth in Section 5.16 and Section 5.18. In the event that the Review Period is extended pursuant to Section 2.2(d), the Target Warrant Exercise Closing Date set forth in the Exercise Notice shall automatically be extended for an amount of days equal to the amount of days that the Review Period is extended pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the conditions set forth in Section 2.4(a) have not been satisfied by the Target Warrant Exercise Closing Date specified in the Exercise Notice, the Target Warrant Exercise Closing Date shall automatically be extended for a period of [****] Business Days from and after the date that the conditions in Section 2.4(a) have been satisfied.

(c) None of the Warrant Holder’s failure to deliver an Exercise Notice or failure to consummate the Warrant Exercise Closing (if no Exercise Notice has been given or, if an Exercise Notice has been given, if the conditions set forth in Section 2.4(a) are not satisfied prior to termination of this Warrant), shall, in and as of itself, result in any Liability of the Warrant Holder to the Company or to the holders of Company Stock Options, Company Warrants or Company Capital Stock, for any reason.

(a) If the Warrant Holder has delivered an Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 2.3(a) (the “Warrant Exercise”), the closing of the Warrant Exercise (the “Warrant Exercise Closing”) shall be held on the Target Warrant Exercise Closing Date specified in the Exercise Notice (as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or Section 2.3(b)), or such other date as the Parties may mutually agree, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied on the Warrant Exercise Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions on the Warrant Exercise Closing Date), unless otherwise waived:

(i) Each of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Warrant shall be true and correct as of the Warrant Exercise Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made at and as of the Warrant Exercise Closing Date (other than those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date or only with respect to a specific period of time, which need only be true and correct as of such date or with respect to such period), in each case except inaccuracies that would not constitute a Material Adverse Change;

(ii) The Company shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all agreements and covenants required by this Warrant to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to the Warrant Exercise Closing Date;

(viii) The Company shall have delivered to the Warrant Holder the deliverables listed in Section 2.4(b).

Neither Party may rely, either as a basis for not consummating the Warrant Exercise Closing or terminating this Warrant and abandoning the transactions contemplated, on the failure of any condition set forth in this Section 2.4(a) to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party’s material breach of any provision of this Warrant.

(b) Company Deliveries. At the Warrant Exercise Closing, the Company shall execute and deliver the following to the Warrant Holder:

Section 2.5. Payments Upon Warrant Exercise Closing; Automatic Issuance of Shares Upon Payment.

Immediately upon receipt by the Company of the Warrant Exercise Payment, the Warrant Shares shall automatically, without any further action needing to be taken on the part of the Company, be issued to the Warrant Holder, and at such time the Warrant Holder will, for all purposes, become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares.

Section 2.6. Warrant Payments After Exercise.

(a) In the event the Warrant Holder exercises the Warrant and acquires the Warrant Shares, the Warrant Holder shall make the payments described below (the “Contingent Payments”) by making a payment in cash to the Company and by causing the Company then to pay such amounts to the Company Equityholders in accordance with the Redemption Provisions upon the occurrence of the following events (each, a “Contingent Payment Event”):

(i) Upon reaching cumulative Net Sales in excess of $[****] (the “Sales Milestone Event”), the Warrant Holder shall make a one-time Contingent Payment to the Company in an aggregate amount equal to $[****]; and

(ii) If one or more Priority Review Vouchers has been granted with respect to any Product Candidate, upon the sale by the Company or an Affiliate of each such Priority Review Voucher to a Third Party, the Warrant Holder shall make a Contingent Payment to the Company, and shall cause the Company then to pay such amounts to the Company Equityholders pursuant to the Redemption Provisions, in an aggregate amount equal to [****]; provided, that the aggregate of all such Contingent Payments from the sale of Priority Review Vouchers shall not exceed $[****].

(b) The Contingent Payment set forth in Section 2.6(a)(i) is only payable once regardless of the number of different Products, Product Candidates or indications with respect to which any given Contingent Payment Event is achieved.

(c) Within [****] days after the public disclosure of the Warrant Holder’s financial results of operations for the quarter in which the Sales Milestone Event is achieved or within [****] days after the occurrence of the consummation of the sale of a Priority Review Voucher, the Warrant Holder shall provide written notice to the Stockholder Representative that such Contingent Payment Event has occurred and shall pay, or cause to be paid, the applicable Contingent Payment in accordance with Section 2.6(a). Each such written notice shall be accompanied by a statement signed by an executive officer of the Warrant Holder setting forth the calculation of each Contingent Payment in reasonable detail.

(d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that after the Warrant is exercised (i) the Warrant Holder has total and absolute discretion in the exploitation of, and operation of its business and the development and commercialization of any Product Candidate, (ii) the Contingent Payments are contingent upon satisfaction of events that may not occur and may therefore never be paid, (iii) the Warrant Holder has made no representation or warranty to the

 

30


[****] = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a confidential treatment request. An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Company that the conditions to any such payments will be satisfied, (iv) the Company has not relied on any such statement by the Warrant Holder or any Third Party and (v) the Warrant Holder is under no obligation to use any standard of diligence with respect to satisfying the conditions to any payment hereunder, and the Company hereby waives any such potential other standard of diligence.

(e) Before signing this Warrant the Parties have had numerous conversations and have generated correspondence and other writings, in which the Parties discussed the transaction which is the subject of this Warrant and their aspirations for success. In such conversations and writings, the Parties and individuals representing them may have expressed their judgments and beliefs concerning the intentions, capabilities, and practices of the Parties, and may have forecasted future events. The Parties recognize that such conversations and writings often involve an effort by both sides to be positive and optimistic about the prospects for the transaction. However, each Party acknowledges that all business transactions contain an element of risk, as do the transactions contemplated by this Warrant, and that it is normal business practice to limit the legal obligations of contracting Parties to only those promises and representations which are essential to their transaction so as to provide certainty as to their respective future rights and remedies. Accordingly, other than the Confidentiality Agreement, this Warrant is intended to define the full extent of the legally enforceable undertakings of the Parties, and no promise or representation, written or oral, which is not set forth explicitly in this Warrant or such Confidentiality Agreement is intended by either Party to be legally binding. Each of the Parties acknowledge that in deciding to enter into this Warrant and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby none of them has relied upon any statements or representations, written or oral, other than those explicitly set forth in this Warrant or in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(f) After the Warrant Exercise Closing Date, the Warrant Holder shall report to the Stockholder Representative in writing [****] and provide: [****].

(g) The Stockholder Representative shall have the right, at its expense, no more than [****] each calendar year and not more than once with respect to the same time period and such other times as a written notice pursuant to Section 2.6(c) is given, to audit the books of the Company and, to the extent relevant, the books of the Warrant Holder, each of which the Warrant Holder shall make or cause to be made reasonably available to the Stockholder Representative, to verify the status of the Contingent Payment Events and, in the case of a written notice pursuant to Section 2.6(c) with respect to a Contingent Payment; provided that only one audit shall be conducted by the Stockholder Representative in respect of each Contingent Payment. All information obtained in any such audit shall be Confidential Information and used only for the purpose contemplated by this Section 2.6 and the Warrant Holder or the Company may require reasonable protections in the event of risk of competitive harm resulting from the disclosure. Any such audit shall be conducted upon reasonable notice during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unnecessarily or unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Company or the Warrant Holder. If, as a result of such audit, the Stockholder Representative believes that an additional Contingent Payment is due or that the amount of a Contingent Payment was understated, it shall notify the Warrant Holder in writing and shall provide the Warrant Holder reasonably detailed information reflecting the basis for the

additional payment claimed. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of that notice the Warrant Holder shall either pay the additional amount claimed or notify the Stockholder Representative that the Warrant Holder disagrees with the claim, which notice shall specify the amount, if any, of the additional Contingent Payment that the Warrant Holder agrees is due. If the Parties are unable to resolve any disagreement within ten (10) days after a notice of disagreement is given by the Warrant Holder, the matter shall be referred to an independent auditor mutually agreeable to the parties, whose determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. The Warrant Holder shall make any additional Contingent Payment to the Company (and shall cause the Company to pay to the Company Equityholders in accordance with the Redemption Provisions) that the independent auditor finds to be due within ten (10) Business Days after the results of the audit are provided to the Parties. With respect to a disagreement in respect of the Sales Milestone Event, the Warrant Holder shall pay the fees, costs and expenses of any independent audit conducted to resolve such disagreement unless the independent auditor finds that the Company Equityholders are not entitled to such Contingent Payment (in which event, the Stockholder Representative shall pay such fees, costs and expenses). With respect to a disagreement in respect of the sale of a Priority Review Voucher, the percentage of the fees, costs and expenses of the audit shall be apportioned between the Warrant Holder, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, based on the relative difference between the auditor’s resolutions of disputed amounts and the relative portions of the Warrant Holder and the Stockholder Representative in respect thereof.

(h) In the event of a Change of Control of the Warrant Holder following the Warrant Exercise Closing Date with respect to which the acquiring Person or its Affiliate has a marketing approval to market and sell a product that competes with a Product (A) the Warrant Holder or entity surviving such Change of Control (or any Affiliate thereof) shall be obligated to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to make sales of such Product, and (B) in the event that the Warrant Holder or entity surviving such Change of Control (or any Affiliate thereof) elects to use any Priority Review Voucher to accelerate the review of any product candidate to which it or an Affiliate has rights that is not a Product Candidate, then within [****] days of the date of such use, the Warrant Holder shall pay a Contingent Payment to the Company and shall cause the Company to pay to the Company Equityholders pursuant to the Redemption Provisions, in an aggregate amount equal to [****].

Section 2.7. Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount Adjustment.

(a) No more than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Warrant Exercise Closing Date, and no less than two (2) days prior to the Warrant Exercise Closing Date, the Company shall in good faith prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Warrant Holder the Company’s estimate of the balance sheet of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day immediately prior to the Warrant Exercise Closing Date (except that Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities shall be determined as of the end of the day on the Warrant Exercise Closing Date) and deliver to the Warrant Holder a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the calculation of the estimated Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount derived therefrom (the “Estimated Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount”). If the Company fails to deliver such certificate within the time period specified in this clause (a), then the Warrant Holder shall be permitted to prepare, in good faith, its estimate of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount for purposes of determining the Warrant Exercise Payment.

(b) No later than sixty (60) days after the Warrant Exercise Closing Date, the Warrant Holder shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Stockholder Representative a balance sheet of the Company as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the day immediately prior to the Warrant Exercise Closing Date (except that Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities shall be determined as of the end of the day on the Warrant Exercise Closing Date) (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a calculation of the Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except to the extent otherwise provided in the definition of Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount), applied in a manner consistent with the preparation, assumptions and estimates made or used in the preparation of the Financial Statements and the Estimated Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount; provided that to the extent the Warrant Holder incurs any prepayment penalties upon repayment of any Indebtedness included in the Estimated Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount prior to delivering the Closing Balance Sheet to the Company, such prepayment penalties will be included as a liability on the Closing Balance Sheet and deducted from the Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount. The Warrant Holder shall make available to the Stockholder Representative all records and work papers and such other information as the Stockholder Representative reasonably requests used in preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount. The Stockholder Representative will have a period of forty-five (45) days following the delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet to notify the Warrant Holder of any disagreements with the Closing Balance Sheet prepared by the Warrant Holder and the calculation of the Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount. Any such notice shall be accompanied by supporting documentation containing reasonable detail regarding such disagreement. The Stockholder Representative’s failure to notify the Warrant Holder within such forty-five (45)-day period shall be deemed acceptance of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount. In the event the Stockholder Representative timely notifies the Warrant Holder of any disagreement, the Stockholder Representative and the Warrant Holder will attempt in good faith to resolve such disagreement. If within thirty (30) days after delivery to the Warrant Holder of the notification by the Stockholder Representative of a disagreement, they are unable to resolve such disagreement, either the Warrant Holder, on the one hand, or the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, shall have the right to submit the determination of such matter to an accounting firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants reasonably acceptable to each of the Warrant Holder and the Stockholder Representative, or in the absence of mutual agreement, an accounting firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants selected by chance after eliminating the Company’s principal outside accountants prior to the Warrant Exercise Closing, the Warrant Holder’s principal outside accountants and the Company’s principal outside accountants (the “Auditor”). The Warrant Holder and the Stockholder Representative shall execute a reasonable engagement letter with the Auditor. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the Auditor, the Auditor shall make a determination of all issues in dispute in connection with the Closing Balance Sheet and pursuant to such procedures as the Auditor deems fair and reasonable. The Auditor shall deliver to the Warrant Holder and the Stockholder Representative a written statement setting forth its determination of the final Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount and the basis for

 

33

such determination. Absent manifest error, such determination shall be binding on the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount shall be made without giving effect to any of the transactions either required to occur at the Warrant Exercise Closing or otherwise occurring in connection with the Warrant Holder’s consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. The percentage of the fees, costs and expenses of the Auditor shall be apportioned between the Warrant Holder, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, based on the relative difference between the Auditor’s resolutions of disputed amounts and the relative portions of the Warrant Holder and the Stockholder Representative in respect thereof.

(c) In the event that the final Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount (as determined in accordance with Section 2.7(b)) is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount (as determined in accordance with Section 2.7(a)) (a “Closing Payment Increase”), the Warrant Holder shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, to the Company, which the Warrant Holder shall then cause the Company to pay to the Company Equityholders pursuant to the Redemption Provisions, an amount in cash equal to the Closing Payment Increase. In the event that the final Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount (as determined in accordance with Section 2.7(b)) is less than the Estimated Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount (as determined in accordance with Section 2.7(a)) (a “Closing Payment Decrease”), the Stockholder Representative shall pay to the Company from the Stockholder Representative Reserve an amount equal to the Closing Payment Decrease, which amount shall then be paid to the Warrant Holder as an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Payment. Any payment required to be made under this Section 2.7(c) shall be made no later than five (5) Business Days after the final Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount is determined in accordance with Section 2.7(b).

Section 2.8. Right of Negotiation.

(a) At any time during the Review Period, the Warrant Holder may submit a written notice specifically referencing this Section 2.8(a) (an “Alternative Notice”) to the Company proposing revised terms and conditions for the Warrant Exercise (the “Alternative Terms”), and the Company shall present such Alternative Terms at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate currently sponsors, contributes to, maintains or has any liability (whether contingent or otherwise) under (A) a Plan that is or was subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, nor have any of them ever done so or (B) a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA), nor have any of them ever done so.

(c) All Plans have been administered and operated in material compliance with their terms and with all requirements of applicable Law, including ERISA and the Code. No event or omission has occurred which would cause any Plan to fail to satisfy the relevant requirements to provide tax-favored benefits under the applicable Code Section (including, without limitation, Code Sections 105 and 125). Each Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (including each related trust intended to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code) is so qualified and has received a current favorable IRS determination letter or is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the IRS. Since the date of each such determination letter or opinion letter, no event has occurred and no condition exists that would result in the revocation of any such determination letter or opinion letter or that would adversely affect the qualified status of any such Plan (or the tax-exempt status of any such trust). None of the Plans provide for post-employment or retiree health, life insurance and/or other welfare benefits (except as required by Section 4980B of the Code) nor have unfunded Liabilities, and the Company has no obligation to provide any such benefits to any retired or former employees or active employees following such employees’ retirement or termination of service. No non-exempt prohibited transactions (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or 406 of ERISA) have occurred that are reasonably expected to give rise, directly or indirectly, to material Liability to the Company.

(d) Each Plan may be amended, terminated, or otherwise modified by the Company to the greatest extent permitted by applicable Law without material Liability to the Company. The Company does not have any commitment, intention or understanding to create, modify or terminate any Plan. No event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed that could result in a material increase in the benefits under or the expense of maintaining any Plan as compared to the level of benefits or expense incurred for the most recently ended fiscal year of the Company.

(e) The Company has classified correctly all individuals who have performed services for them, under each Plan, ERISA and the Code and other applicable Law as common law employees, independent contractors or leased employees.

(f) Other than routine claims for benefits made in the Ordinary Course of Business, there are no pending claims, investigations or causes of action and no claims, investigations or causes of action are threatened, against any Plan or fiduciary of any such Plan by any participant, beneficiary or Governmental Entity, and there is no basis to anticipate that any such claims will be made. There are no inspections or audits pending to be resolved or implemented by any Governmental Entity to verify compliance relating to any Plan or term and condition of employment. No Plan or any fiduciary thereof has been the direct or indirect subject of an audit, investigation or examination by any Governmental Entity.

(g) The Company does not maintain or have any obligation to contribute to any “voluntary employees’ beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code or other funding arrangement for the provision of welfare benefits. The Company does not maintain any Plan which is (i) a “group health plan” (as such term is defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code or Section 607(1) of ERISA) that has not been administered and operated in all respects in material compliance with the applicable requirements of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code or (ii) a “group health plan” (as defined in 45 Code of Federal Regulations Section 160.103) that has not been administered and operated in all respects in material compliance with the applicable requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Company is not subject to any Liability, including additional contributions, fines, Taxes, penalties or loss of Tax deduction as a result of such administration and operation. No Plan which is such a group health plan is a “multiple employer welfare arrangement,” within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA. Each Plan that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 125 of the Code meets such requirements, and each program of benefits for which employee contributions are provided pursuant to elections under any Plan meets the requirements of the Code applicable thereto. The Company does not maintain any Plan which is an “employee welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) that has provided any “disqualified benefit” (as such term is defined in Section 4976(b) of the Code) with respect to which an excise Tax could be imposed. Each Plan subject to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (“PPACA”), and related regulations and guidance, has been operated in material compliance therewith and has been timely amended, if required, to reflect the requirements of PPACA.

(h) Full payment has been timely made of all amounts which the Company is required, under applicable Law or under any Plan, applicable collective bargaining agreement or any Contract relating to any Plan to which the Company is a party, to have paid as contributions or premiums thereto as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Plan ended prior to the date hereof and such contributions or premiums have been timely deposited into the appropriate trusts or accounts. All contributions and premiums have been fully deducted for income Tax purposes and no such deduction has been challenged or disallowed by any Governmental Entity and no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed that could give rise to any such challenge or disallowance. The Company has either contributed

or made adequate provision for reserves to meet contributions and premiums and any other Liabilities that have not been paid or satisfied because they are not yet due under the terms of any Plan, applicable Law or related Contracts. Benefits under all Plans are as represented and have not been increased subsequent to the date as of which documents have been made available to the Warrant Holder. The Company does not have any unfunded Liabilities pursuant to any Plan that is not intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

(i) Each Plan (including each non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement) has been maintained in material compliance with all applicable requirements of federal and state income Tax and securities Laws including (if applicable) the requirements that the offering of interests in such Plan be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or state “Blue Sky” laws. No Plan or other Company agreement, policy or arrangement violates Section 409A of the Code. All stock options and stock appreciation rights granted by the Company after October 3, 2004, or which vest or vested (in whole or in part) after December 31, 2004, have (or, if already terminated, had) an exercise price that was not less than the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date such option or right was granted.

(j) Neither the execution and delivery of the Warrant, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby nor the conduct of the business of the Company by the Company Personnel (either alone or in combination with any other event) will (i) terminate or modify, or give a third person a right to terminate or modify, the provisions or terms of any Plan, policy, or employment contract, arrangement or commitment or (ii) result in any payment or benefits (whether of severance pay or otherwise) or any acceleration of, vesting of or increase in payments or benefits to any employee or former employee or director of, or other present or former provider of services to, the Company. No Plan provides for the payment of severance, termination, change-in-control or any similar type of payments or benefits. The Company has not made any payments, or has been a party to any contractual obligation that could result in making payments, that have resulted, or would result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or the imposition of an excise Tax under Section 4999 or that were or would not be deductible under Sections 162 or 404 of the Code, or that would be required to be included by any current or former employee, officer, director or independent contract of the Company gross income under Section 409A of the Code.

(k) The Company has made available to the Warrant Holder true and complete copies of all material documents in connection with each Plan, including (where applicable): (i) all documents embodying or governing such Plans as in effect on the date hereof, together with all amendments thereto, including, in the case of any Plan not set forth in writing, a written description thereof; (ii) all current summary Plan descriptions, summaries of material modifications, and material communications; (iii) all current trust agreements, declarations of trust and other documents establishing other funding arrangements (and all amendments thereto and the latest financial statements thereof); (iv) the most recent IRS determination letter, if any, obtained with respect to each Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code or exempt under Section 501(a) or 501(c)(9) of the Code; (v) the annual report on IRS Form 5500 for each of the last two (2) years for each Plan required to file such form, with all applicable schedules and accountants’ opinions attached thereto; (vi) all Contracts relating to each Plan,

including service provider agreements, insurance contracts (including any fiduciary liability insurance policy or fidelity bond), annuity contracts, investment management agreements, subscription agreements, participation agreements, and recordkeeping agreements and collective bargaining agreements; (vii) the three most recent annual ADP/ACP nondiscrimination tests for any Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code; (viii) any registration statement or other filing made pursuant to federal or state securities Law; (ix) all correspondence to and from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Plans; and (x) all minutes with respect to the meetings of each Plans’ administrative committee or plan administrator.

Section 3.19. Employee and Labor Matters.

(a) There is no (i) strike, work slowdown, lockout, work stoppage, or picketing with respect to employees of the Company pending or threatened against or affecting the Company, and there have been no such troubles, (ii) grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of collective bargaining agreements to which the Company is a party, including any claim for the management and administration of a collective bargaining agreement, (iii) collective labor dispute, notice of infraction, assessment, administrative labor proceeding, individual labor claim, or any other labor dispute pending, or threatened against or affecting the Company (iv) unfair labor practice complaint pending or threatened against the Company, (v) collective bargaining agreement, collective bargaining convention, or other labor union Contract to which the Company is a party, or otherwise subject, (vi) employee of the Company who is represented by a union, (vii) activity or proceeding of any labor union to organize any employees of the Company, and no demand for recognition of employees of the Company has been made by, or on behalf of, any labor union, or (viii) petition that has been filed or proceedings instituted by an employee or group of employees of the Company with any labor relations board seeking representation of a bargaining representative.

(b) The Company is and has been in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws regarding employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, including but not limited to wages and hours, the classification of employees and independent contractors, and payment of mandatory benefits, and is not engaged in any unfair labor practice.

(c) There are no claims, investigations or causes of actions pending nor threatened against the Company with respect to any employee of the Company requesting severance, reinstatement, back salaries or pay or any other additional compensation as a direct or indirect result of a wrongful termination or termination with cause or alleged wrongful termination or termination with cause.

(d) The Company has not, since the date of its incorporation, taken any action that would constitute a “mass layoff” or “plant closing” within the meaning of the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification (“WARN”) Act or would otherwise trigger notice requirements or liability under any state, local or foreign plant closing notice Law. No arbitration order, court decision, governmental order, or Material Contract to which the Company is a party or is subject in any way limits or restricts the Company from relocating or closing any of the operations of the Company.

(f) To the knowledge of the Company, no officer or director of the Company is, and no other employee of the Company is, a party to or bound by any Contract, license, or covenant of any nature (other than a Contract with the Warrant Holder or any Affiliate), or subject to any Judgment of any Governmental Entity, that may materially interfere with the use of such Person’s efforts to promote the interests of the Company, conflict with the business of the Company or the Warrant Exercise Closing and the other transactions contemplated by this Warrant, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. To the knowledge of the Company, no activity of any employee of the Company as or while an employee of the Company has caused a material violation of any employment Contract, confidentiality agreement, Patent disclosure agreement, or other Contract.

Copies of all environmental reports, studies, assessments, sampling data and other environmental information in the possession of the Company relating to the Company or any real property currently or formerly occupied or operated in connection with the business of the Company have been made available to the Warrant Holder.

access for investigations shall be conducted during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company.

All Tax Returns for or that include a Pre-Closing Tax Period (and in the case of Tax Returns prepared by the Warrant Holder under Section 5.5(b), which are filed prior to the finalization of the Warrant Exercise Payment made under Section 2.7) shall be filed in accordance with applicable Tax Law and, where not unreasonable, consistent with past practice.

(A) ad valorem and other similar Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and

(B) the Taxes of the Company (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the date of the Warrant Exercise (and for such purpose, the Taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity or any “controlled foreign corporation” (within the meaning of Code Section 957) in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrant Holder (and, following the Closing, the Company) shall only be subject to the above Tax Return preparation agreements in clauses (g)(i) through (g)(iv) and clause (g)(vii) (x) until the Warrant Exercise Payment has been finally determined under Section 2.7 and (y) to the extent that failure to report in accordance with such provisions would actually result in a downward adjustment (or reduce an upward adjustment) to the Warrant Exercise Payment, as finally determined under Section 2.7.

(h) The Warrant Holder covenants that without obtaining the prior written consent of the Stockholders Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), it will not, and will not cause or permit the Company or any Affiliate of the Warrant Holder, to (A) take any action on the Warrant Exercise Closing Date and after the Closing other than in the Ordinary Course of Business, unless required by Law, that could give rise to any Tax Liability of the Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (B) change any material Tax election with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period, amend any Tax Return related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or compromise or settle any Tax Liability, in each case (x) until the Warrant Exercise Payment has been finally determined under Section 2.7 and (y) to the extent that such action, election, amendment, compromise or settlement would actually result in a downward adjustment (or reduce an upward adjustment) to the Warrant Exercise Payment, as finally determined under Section 2.7.

Section 5.6. Insurance. The Company shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to keep all insurance policies set forth on Section 3.18(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, or comparable replacements therefor, in full force and effect during the Warrant Period and such that such insurance policies will be in full force and effect immediately following the Warrant Exercise Closing Date; provided, however, that any such insurance policy may be amended or modified or substituted with another insurance policy (including a change in insurance carriers), so long as the coverage and limitations provided by such amended, modified or substituted insurance policy are substantially the same as in the respective policy set forth in Section 3.18(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

Section 9.4. Enforcement.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6.2 with respect to the JSC, in Section 2.6(g) with respect to the Contingent Payments and in Section 2.7 with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Cash and Liabilities Amount, all disputes, issues, controversies or claims between the Parties arising under or with respect to this Warrant or the Redemption Provisions (each, a “Dispute”) shall first be referred to the Executive Officer for resolution. The location, format, frequency, duration and conclusion of the discussions between the Executive Officers shall be left to the discretion of the Executive Officers. The Executive Officers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve a Dispute referred to them within [****] Business Days (or such other period as the Executive Officers may approve). The Dispute escalation process described in this paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 9.4 is referred to as the “Dispute Escalation Process.”

(b) If the Executive Officers do not resolve a Dispute referred to them within [****] Business Days (or such other period of time as they may have approved), then either Party may notify the other Party in writing that it desires to elevate such Dispute for resolution by nonbinding mediation. The mediation shall be administered by one or more mediators selected by agreement of the Parties using procedures agreed to by them or, if they fail to agree to the mediator(s) and procedures within [****] Business Days after submission of the Dispute for resolution pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures. The Parties shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute through such nonbinding resolution within [****] Business Days after submission of the Dispute for resolution pursuant to this Section 9.4(b) (the last day of such [****] Business Day period is referred to as the “Conclusion of the Escalation Process”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Warrant or the Redemption Provisions to the contrary, and except as provided below in this Section 9.4(c), the Parties shall participate in the Escalation Process until the Conclusion of the Escalation Process, and shall not terminate negotiations concerning resolution of the matters in Dispute until the earlier of the Conclusion of the Escalation Process or expiration or termination of this Warrant (so long as termination of this Warrant is not the subject of the Dispute). No Party shall commence a lawsuit or seek other remedies with respect to the Dispute (including termination of this Warrant) prior to the Conclusion of the Escalation Process, provided that either party may institute formal legal proceedings at any time: (i) to avoid the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations period, (ii) to preserve a superior position with respect to other creditors, or (iii) to seek an injunction to prevent irreparable harm.

(d) Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in any state or federal court within the State of

Delaware, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Warrant or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each Party agrees to commence any such action, suit or proceeding either in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in any state or federal court within the State of Delaware. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by the U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 9.4. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, and in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in any state or federal court within the State of Delaware, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(e) EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL OF ANY ISSUE BY JURY. Each Party hereto (i) certifies that no Representative of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Party would not, in the event of any action, suit or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Warrant, by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 9.4.

(f) Each Party hereto waives any claim to punitive, exemplary or multiplied damages from the other.

Section 9.5. Specific Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that a Party would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Warrant were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the other Party. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Warrant by the other Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Warrant in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in any state or federal court within the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Party is entitled at law or in equity and as further set forth in this Article 9.

Section 9.6. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Except as expressly set forth in Article 7, the remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to any Party at Law, in equity or otherwise.

(c) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Warrant, any waiver of any provision of this Warrant shall be effective (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Warrant Holder and the Company (or, following the Warrant Exercise Closing Date, the Stockholder Representative) or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party granting the waiver and (ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

Section 9.7. Entire Agreement. This Warrant, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Redemption Provisions contain the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior Contracts, both written and oral, relating to such subject matter.

Section 9.8. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant (including in Section 5.21), this Warrant is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the Parties and such successors and assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder. No covenant or other undertakings in this Warrant shall constitute an amendment to any Plan, program, policy or arrangement, and any covenant or undertaking that suggests that a Plan, program, policy or arrangement will be amended shall be effective only upon the adoption of a written amendment in accordance with the amendment procedures of such Plan, program, policy or arrangement.

Section 9.9. Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 9.10. Governing Law. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF.

Section 9.11. Severability. Any term or provision of this Warrant that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.12. Stockholder Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle the Warrant Holder, prior to the Warrant Exercise Closing, to any rights as a stockholder of the Company.
