2.1 Method of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on any Business Day on or before the Expiration Date, for up to the Maximum Number of Shares. This Warrant shall be exercised by delivery of the Exercise Notice duly executed by Holder, and by payment in a form specified in Section 2.2 of an amount equal to (i) the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased by Holder (not to exceed the Maximum Number of Shares) multiplied by (ii) the Exercise Price or an election to net exercise the Warrant as provided in Section 2.5 for the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be determined in accordance with Section 2.5. Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, contingent upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company, an Initial Public Offering or the consummation of a transfer of shares subject to Section 2(b) of the Stockholders Agreement (so long as such Change of Control, Initial Public Offering or transfer occurs prior to the Expiration Date), which contingent exercise may further require that such Change of Control, Initial Public Offering or transfer occur prior to a certain date. Unless the Exercise Notice expressly specifies otherwise, such contingent exercise shall be deemed to occur immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control, Initial Public Offering or transfer (it being agreed that in the event the aggregate Exercise Price thereof is paid to the Company prior to the occurrence of such event, fact or circumstance, such amounts will be held in trust for the benefit of the Holder and promptly returned to the Holder in the event such event, fact or circumstance does not timely occur).
2.2 Form of Payment. Payment for the Warrant Stock upon exercise may be made by (a) a check payable to the Company’s order, (b) wire transfer of funds to the Company, (c) cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to Holder, if any, provided that the amount of such
5

indebtedness is not subject to dispute, (d) by net exercise as provided in Section 2.5, or (e) any combination of the foregoing.
2.3 Partial Exercise. Upon a partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) replace this Warrant with a new Warrant of like tenor in which the Maximum Number of Shares is so reduced. Whether or not this Warrant is surrendered, upon exercise thereof, this Warrant shall have no further force or effect, except in respect of the rights hereunder with respect to such exercise and the right, if any, to receive a substitute warrant in the event of a partial exercise.
2.4 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares may be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. If upon exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, a fraction of a share would otherwise result, then in lieu of such fractional share, the Company shall pay to Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction of a share multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share as of the effective date of such exercise.
2.5 Net Exercise Election. Holder may elect to exercise all or any portion, of this Warrant, without the payment by Holder of any additional consideration, by delivery of an Exercise Notice with the net exercise election selected, duly executed by Holder, into up to the number of shares of Warrant Stock that is obtained under the following formula:
X = Y (A-B)
A
where X = the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to Holder pursuant to a net exercise of this Warrant effected pursuant to this Section 2.5.
Y = the number of shares of Warrant Stock being exercised.
A = the Fair Market value of one share of Warrant Stock as of the effective date of such exercise.
B = the Exercise Price.
The Company will respond in writing to an inquiry by Holder as to the then current Fair Market Value of one share of Warrant Stock as promptly as practicable under the circumstances.
3.ISSUANCE OF STOCK. Except as set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 4 or as set forth in the Exercise Notice (provided, that the Exercise Notice may not specify a date or time prior to the delivery of the Exercise Notice and payment in full of the Exercise Price, to the extent not elected to be net settled), this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised as of the close of business on the date of delivery of the Exercise Notice, and the Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of the applicable shares of Warrant Stock (and, to the extent applicable, any cash, securities or other property issuable thereon in accordance with Section 5) as of 11:59 p.m. on the date of delivery of the Exercise Notice (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter), subject to payment in full of the Exercise Price, to the extent not elected to be net settled. As soon as practicable on
6

or after such date (and, in any event, no later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter), the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder evidence of issuance in book-entry form of the number of whole shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with payment of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.4 (and, to the extent applicable, evidence of issuance or delivery of any other securities or other property issuable thereon in accordance with Section 5).
4.CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.
4.1 If the Company proposes at any time to effect a Change of Control, an Initial Public Offering, a Deemed Liquidation Event, a Reorganization Event or a Dividend Event, then the Company shall give the Holder at least ten (10) Business Days advance written notice (each, a “Transaction Notice”) of the anticipated closing date for such transaction or event or the anticipated initial closing date for such Initial Public Offering, as applicable.
4.2 In the event of a merger involving the Company that constitutes a Change of Control of the Company in which the consideration received by the holders of Warrant Stock consists solely of cash or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (provided, that the cash portion thereof is at least equal to the Exercise Price at the time), and the Fair Market Value of the consideration per share to be received by the holders of Warrant Stock in such transaction would be greater than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such transaction, and Holder has not fully exercised this Warrant prior thereto, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be fully exercised in a net exercise pursuant to Section 2.4 effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such transaction; provided, that at the election of the Holder in connection with such transaction where the consideration is a combination of cash and Marketable Securities, the cash portion of the consideration shall be used first to effect such net exercise (i.e., notwithstanding the net exercise, if so elected, the Holder would receive all of the Marketable Securities that it would have received had it exercised this Warrant for cash, but the cash consideration would be net of the Exercise Price). In the event of a merger involving the Company that constitutes a Change of Control of the Company in which the consideration to be received by the holders of Warrant Stock consists solely of cash or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (provided, that the cash portion thereof is at least equal to the Exercise Price at the time), and where the Fair Market Value of the consideration per share to be received by the holders of Warrant Stock in such transaction would be equal to or less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such transaction, then this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control. For clarity, upon the closing of any Change of Control of the Company that does not result in the exercise or expiration of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 4.2, Section 5.3 shall apply.
4.3 In the event that, upon the Expiration Date, the Fair Market Value of one share of Warrant Stock is greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised on a net exercise basis pursuant to Section 2.5 as to all shares of Warrant Stock for which it shall not previously has been exercised.
4.4 At the request of the Holder in connection with a Change of Control of the Company, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to structure such Change of Control transaction to ensure that a pro rata portion of this Warrant is sold or otherwise disposed of in such transaction in lieu of selling or otherwise disposing of the Warrant Stock exercisable hereunder.

5.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Signing Date (whether prior to, on or after the date hereof) effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Warrant Stock or Warrant Stock Equivalents by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, or declare a dividend on, or a distribution in respect of, Warrant Stock, which dividend or distribution is payable in additional shares of Warrant Stock (or a distribution in respect of, Warrant Stock Equivalents, which dividend or distribution is payable in additional Warrant Stock Equivalents of the same class and series and from the same issuer), then the Maximum Number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Signing Date effect a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Warrant Stock or Warrant Stock Equivalents, by reclassification or otherwise into a lesser number of shares, then the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the Maximum Number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
5.2 Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Signing Date (whether prior to, on or after the date hereof) make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the determination of eligible holders entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable with respect to the Warrant Stock or any Warrant Stock Equivalent that is payable in (a) securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (that is not subject to Section 5.1) or (b) other securities, property or assets (other than cash), which dividend or distribution is actually made (each a “Dividend Event”), then and in each such case, Holder, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after such Dividend Event (or the record date thereof), shall receive, in addition to the shares of Warrant Stock, the securities or such other properties or assets that would have been payable to Holder if Holder had completed such exercise (in cash) of this Warrant, immediately prior to the record date of such Dividend Event.
5.3 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc.. If after the Signing Date (whether prior to, on or after the date hereof) (a) the Company shall effect any recapitalization, reorganization or reclassification of the Company or any of its securities, (b) the Company shall consolidate with or merge into one or more other Persons which results in the Warrant Stock being converted or exchanged for other securities or (c) a Subsidiary of the Company that owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and is not a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company takes any of the actions contemplated by clause (a) or (b), mutatis mutandis (each, a “Reorganization Event”), then and in each such case, Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant after such Reorganization Event shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the shares of Warrant Stock that Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such exercise prior to such Reorganization Event (but without limiting the right to receive any securities or property owed as a result of Section 5.2), the stock or other securities or property which Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such Reorganization Event if, immediately prior to such Reorganization Event (or, if applicable, the record date thereof), Holder had completed such exercise (in cash) of this Warrant (and the
8

Maximum Number of Shares shall be adjusted accordingly). If after such Reorganization Event, the Warrant is exercisable for securities of a corporation or entity other than the Company, then as a condition to effecting the Reorganization Event, the Company shall cause such corporation or entity to duly execute and deliver, upon request to Holder a supplement hereto acknowledging such corporation’s or other entity’s obligations under this Warrant promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) following the completion of such Reorganization Event; and in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such Reorganization Event.
5.4 Adjustment upon Issuance of Additional Common Stock.
(a)Other than in connection with the Reorganization (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or the Management Rollover (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and subject to Section 5.7, in the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall at any time on or after the Signing Date (whether prior to, on or after the date hereof) issue or be deemed to issue Additional Shares of Common Stock, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issuance or deemed issuance, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined in accordance with the following formula:
EP 2 = ((A * EP 1) + B) ÷ (A + C)
For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

“EP 1” shall mean the Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock.

No adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, except as otherwise provided in the paragraph immediately below.
(c)If the purchase price provided for in any Convertible Securities, or the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents shall change at any time (including by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution of the type set forth in this Section 5.4), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall forthwith be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.
(d)On the expiration or redemption of, or the termination of any right to convert, exchange or exercise, any Convertible Securities, the Exercise Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be increased to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such Convertible Securities, to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.
(e)In the event any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be issued or deemed issued for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received shall be the fair market value of such consideration as mutually agreed by the Holder and the Company; provided, that if the Holder and the Company do not so mutually agree within fifteen (15) Business Days, then fair market value shall be determined by the Independent Arbitrator in accordance with the Independent Arbitration Rules, mutatis mutandis.

8.7 Waivers and Amendments. This Warrant may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Company and Holder. This Warrant and any provision herein or performance hereunder may be waived only in writing (including by electronic means) by the Holder. The waiver of a breach of any provision of this Warrant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach, whether or not similar, unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing under this Warrant, upon any breach or default under this Warrant, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of Holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character of any breach or default under this Warrant, or any waiver of any provisions or conditions of this Warrant, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

8.9 Enforcement of Agreement; Specific Performance. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the rights and obligations set forth in this Warrant are unique and that, if this Warrant is not timely performed in accordance with its terms or is otherwise breached or threatened to be breached, Holder may be damaged irreparably and have no adequate remedy at law and even if monetary damages would be available, such monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the Company agrees that Holder will have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at law or in equity, to enforce its rights and the Company’s obligations under the terms of this Warrant, by bringing an action or actions for specific performance (including for specific performance of any and all of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant), injunctive or other equitable relief (without proof of damage or posting of bond or other security). Any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon Holder, and the exercise by Holder of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Company agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when available pursuant to the terms of this Warrant on
15

the basis that Holder has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

The Company and, by acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder waive any objection based on forum non conveniens and waive any objection to venue of any action instituted hereunder. Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall affect the rights to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.
