Each reference in this Agreement to countersignature by the Warrant Agent includes   countersignature by such agent. Such agent will have the same rights as the Warrant Agent for   service of notices and demands.   (d) At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Agreement,   the Warrant Agent or an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company shall upon receipt of a   written order of the Company signed by two (2) Officers of the Company manually countersign   for original issue a Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants specified in such   order; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive an Officers’   Certificate that it may reasonably request in connection with such countersignature of Warrants.   Such order shall specify the number of Warrants to be evidenced on the Warrant Certificate to be   countersigned, the date on which such Warrant Certificate is to be countersigned and the number   of Warrants then authorized.   (e) The Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate shall not be valid until   an authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent or its agent as provided above manually   countersigns the Warrant Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the   Warrant Certificate has been countersigned under this Agreement.    

 

11   Section 2.03. Certificate Register. The Warrant Agent shall keep a register (the   “Certificate Register”) of the Warrant Certificates and of their transfer and exchange. The   Certificate Register shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders and the date   and number of Warrants evidenced on the face of each of the Warrant Certificates. The Company   and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Warrant Certificate is   registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and   neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.   Section 2.04. Transfer and Exchange.   (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Warrants.   (i) The transfer and exchange of the beneficial interests in Global   Warrants shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with this Agreement (including   applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement), the procedures of the Depository   therefor and in accordance with Applicable Law. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global   Warrant shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a written order given in accordance with the   Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the   Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Warrant.   (ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (other   than the provisions set forth in Section 2.05), a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant may not   be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a   nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the   Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor   Depository.   (iii) In the event that a Global Warrant is exchanged and transferred for   Certificated Warrants pursuant to Section 2.05, such Warrants may be exchanged only in   accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this   Section 2.04 and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company as   well as in accordance with Applicable Law.   (b) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Warrants.   (i) Reserved.   (ii) Prior to any transfer or attempted transfer of any Certificated   Warrants containing the Private Placement Legend (or which would have contained the Private   Placement Legend had they been issued on or after November 5, 2014), the holder of such   Certificated Warrants shall (i) deliver a transfer form substantially in the form attached hereto as   Exhibit B (a “Transfer Notice”) to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such Holder’s   intention to effect such transfer, describing the manner and circumstances of the proposed   transfer, accompanied by an opinion of counsel to such Holder that the proposed transfer of such   Certificated Warrants may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, and (ii)   surrender such Warrant Certificates. The Company shall, within (2) Business Days after receipt   of the Transfer Notice, deliver to the Warrant Agent an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the   proposed transfer satisfies the requirements of Section 3.15. After receipt of the Transfer Notice,    

 

12   opinion and Officers’ Certificate by the Warrant Agent, such Holder shall thereupon, subject to   compliance with the other restrictions on transfer contained herein, be entitled to transfer such   Certificated Warrants, in accordance with the terms of the Transfer Notice and the Stockholder’s   Agreement. Each Certificated Warrant issued upon such transfer shall bear the restrictive legend   with respect to the Securities Act set forth below, unless, in the opinion of counsel to such   Holder (which opinion must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel), such   legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.   (iii) A Holder of a Private Placement Warrant may (a) exchange such   Warrant for a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant following delivery to the Warrant Agent of   an opinion of counsel that the Private Placement Warrants no longer require the Private   Placement Legend, or (b) transfer such Private Placement Warrant to a Person who takes   delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Warrant if such transfer is   effected pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the terms of this   Agreement or following delivery to the Warrant Agent of an opinion of counsel that the Private   Placement Warrants no longer require the Private Placement Legend. Following satisfaction of   the condition in the preceding sentence, the exchanging or transferring Holder shall surrender the   Warrant Certificates representing the transferred or exchanged Private Placement Warrants and   deliver to the Warrant Agent a Transfer Notice with respect to such Private Placement Warrants,   together with written instructions directing the Warrant Agent to make, or to direct the   Depository to make, an endorsement on the Global Warrant to reflect an increase in the number   of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant equal to the number of Warrants represented by   such Private Placement Warrant, then the Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with such   instructions, instruct the Depository to credit the account of the Person specified in such   instructions as a beneficial interest in the Global Warrant. If no Global Warrant is then   outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign a new Global   Warrant representing the appropriate number of Warrants. Following any such transfer or   exchange, the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Private Placement Warrants shall be   canceled by the Warrant Agent, and after such cancellation shall be returned to the Company.   (c) Legend. Each Warrant Certificate shall bear a legend in substantially the   following form (with Warrant Certificates issued after the date of this Amended and Restated   Warrant Agreement being revised to refer to the Agreement as amended and restated):   “ANY TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE   IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE WARRANT AGREEMENT   (THE “WARRANT AGREEMENT”) DATED AS OF AUGUST 18, 2014 BETWEEN   ALION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (THE “COMPANY”) AND   WILMINGTON TRUST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AS WARRANT AGENT. BY   ACCEPTING DELIVERY OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS   CERTIFICATE, ANY TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO   BE BOUND BY THE WARRANT AGREEMENT AS IF THE TRANSFEREE HAD   EXECUTED AND DELIVERED THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.”   In addition to the legend above, each Private Placement Warrant issued on August 18,   2014 and any Warrant Certificate issued after November 5, 2014 shall bear a legend in   substantially the following form (the “Private Placement Legend”):    

 

13   “THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF   THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT   OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY OTHER   SECURITIES LAWS. BY ITS EXERCISE HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES NOT   TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY PRIOR TO THE   DATE PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY   SUCCESSOR PROVISION THERETO (THE "RESALE RESTRICTION   TERMINATION DATE"), EXCEPT (A) TO ALION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY   CORPORATION (THE “COMPANY”) OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B)   OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF   REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C) PURSUANT TO RULE 144A   UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT TO A PERSON THE SELLER REASONABLY   BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER AS DEFINED IN RULE   144A THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF   A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT   THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A UNDER THE   SECURITIES ACT, OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE   EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE   SECURITIES ACT, SUBJECT TO THE COMPANY'S AND THE WARRANT   AGENT'S RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER   PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (B) OR (D) TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF AN   OPINION OF COUNSEL, CERTIFICATIONS AND/OR OTHER INFORMATION   SATISFACTORY TO EACH OF THEM.”   Each Global Warrant will bear legends required by the Depository substantially in the   following form:   “UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED   REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK   CORPORATION (“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE COMPANY OR ITS   AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND   ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR   SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED   REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO.,   OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED   REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE   HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL   INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN   INTEREST HEREIN.   TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS   IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR   THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS   OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN   ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT   AGREEMENT REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.”    

 

14   (d) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Warrant. At such time as all   beneficial interests in a Global Warrant have been exchanged for Certificated Warrants,   redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Warrant shall be returned to the Depository for   cancellation or retained and canceled by the Warrant Agent, and, after cancellation, shall be   destroyed in accordance with the Warrant Agent’s standard procedures. At any time prior to   such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is exchanged for Certificated   Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the number of Warrants represented by such   Global Warrant shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of   the Warrant Agent (if it is then the Warrant Custodian for such Global Warrant) with respect to   such Global Warrant, by the Warrant Agent, to reflect such reduction.   (e) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants.   (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company   shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, upon receipt of an Opinion of Counsel   and Officers’ Certificate if so requested by the Warrant Agent, Certificated Warrants and Global   Warrants as required pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02 and this Section 2.04.   (ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of   transfer or exchange upon surrender of any Warrant Certificate at the office of the Warrant   Agent maintained for that purpose, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to   cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with   any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates.   (iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any   Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name a   Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant, and neither the Company nor the   Warrant Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.   (iv) All Warrants issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the   terms of this Agreement shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same   benefits under this Agreement as the Warrants surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.   (f) No Obligation of the Warrant Agent.   (i) The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to   any beneficial owner of a Global Warrant, a member of, or a participant in the Depository or   other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of   any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Warrants or with   respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than   the Depository) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such   Warrants. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be   made to Holders under the Warrants shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the   registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global   Warrant). Unless otherwise specified, the rights of beneficial owners in any Global Warrant   shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of   the Depository. The Warrant Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon    

 

15   information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants and any   beneficial owners.   (ii) The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor,   determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this   Agreement or under Applicable Law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Warrant   (including any transfers between or among the Depository participants, members or beneficial   owners in any Global Warrant) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other   documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly   required by, the terms of this Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial   compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.   Section 2.05. Certificated Warrants.   (a) A Global Warrant deposited with the Depository or with the Warrant   Agent as custodian for the Depository pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be transferred to the   beneficial owners thereof in the form of Certificated Warrants in a number equal to the number   of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant, in exchange for such Global Warrant, only if   such transfer complies with Section 2.04 and (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is   unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Warrant or if at any time the   Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each such   case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of such   notice or (ii) the Company, with the consent of the Required Warrant Holders, notifies the   Warrant Agent in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Warrants (other than   the Private Placement Warrants) under this Agreement.   (b) Any Global Warrant that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof   pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Warrant Agent, to be   so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Warrant Agent shall   countersign and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Warrant, an equal   number of Certificated Warrants. Any Certificated Warrants delivered in exchange for an   interest in the Global Warrant shall bear the legends set forth in Section 2.04(b).   (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the registered Holder of a   Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and   Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is   entitled to take under this Agreement or the Warrants.   (d) In the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in Section   2.05(a), the Company will promptly make available to the Warrant Agent a reasonable supply of   Certificated Warrants in definitive, fully registered form.   Section 2.06. Replacement Certificates. If a mutilated Warrant Certificate is surrendered   to the Warrant Agent or if the Holder of a Warrant Certificate claims that the Warrant Certificate   has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent   shall countersign a replacement Warrant Certificate if the reasonable requirements of the Warrant   Agent and of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New    

 

16   York are met. If required by the Warrant Agent or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an   indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Warrant Agent to protect the   Company and the Warrant Agent from any loss which either of them may suffer if a Warrant   Certificate is replaced. The Company and the Warrant Agent may charge the Holder for their   reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Warrant Certificate. Every replacement Warrant   Certificate evidences an additional obligation of the Company.   Section 2.07. Outstanding Warrants. Warrants outstanding at any time are all Warrants   evidenced on all Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent except for those   canceled by it and those delivered to it for cancellation. A Warrant does not cease to be   outstanding because an Affiliate of the Company holds the Warrant. A Warrant ceases to be   outstanding and shall no longer be exercisable if the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company   holds the Warrant.   If a Warrant Certificate is replaced pursuant to Section 2.06 of this Agreement, the   Warrants evidenced thereby cease to be outstanding and shall no longer be exercisable unless the   Warrant Agent and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Warrant   Certificate is held by a bona fide purchaser.   Section 2.08. Cancellation.   (a) In the event the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall   purchase or otherwise acquire Certificated Warrants (including Private Placement Warrants), the   same shall thereupon be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation.   (b) The Warrant Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Warrant   Certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement, exercise or cancellation and deliver   a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Warrant Agent   to deliver canceled Warrant Certificates to the Company. The Company may not issue new   Warrant Certificates to replace Warrant Certificates to the extent they evidence Warrants which   have been exercised or Warrants which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has   purchased or otherwise acquired.   Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Warrants may use “CUSIP”   numbers and, if so, the Warrant Agent shall use such “CUSIP” numbers in notices as a   convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation   is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Warrant Certificates or as   contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers   printed on the Warrant Certificates.   Section 2.10. Registration.   (a) Filing of Shelf Registration. If at any time that the Company becomes   subject to (or is voluntarily filing the reports that would be required if the Company were subject   to) the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and there are Warrants   outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the   date on which the Company becomes subject to such requirements or begins voluntarily filing   such reports (the “Required Filing Date”), it shall file one or more “shelf” registration statements    

 

17   pursuant to Rule 415 (or similar rule that may be adopted by the SEC) under the Securities Act   (collectively, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) to permit on a continuous basis (i) resales of   the Warrants by the Holders thereof who may be deemed Affiliates of the Company, (ii) the   issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants by the Holders thereof, (iii) the   resale of Warrant Shares by the Holders thereof who may be deemed Affiliates of the Company,   (iv) resales of the Warrants issued to the Supporting Noteholders in connection with the Second   Lien Term Loan and the resale of Warrant Shares issued to the Supporting Noteholders upon the   exercise of such Warrants and (v) resales of the Warrants issued to ASOF in connection with the   ASOF CTO Funding and the resale of Warrant Shares issued to ASOF upon the exercise of such   Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to   cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as possible after the   filing thereof, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Required Filing Date.   (b) The Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3. In the event Form   S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the   Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another   appropriate form in accordance herewith as the Holders may consent and (ii) attempt to register   the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided, that, the   Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statements then in effect   until such time as a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities   has been declared effective by the SEC.   (c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the   Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as reasonably   possible after the filing thereof, but in any event within sixty (60) days of such filing (it being   understood that the Company does not guarantee that the Registration Statement will be declared   effective by the SEC within such time), and shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to   keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such   time as this Section 2.10 no longer survives following expiration of all of the Warrants pursuant   to Section 3.04 hereof (the “Effectiveness Period”).   (d) The Company shall notify the Holders in writing as promptly as   reasonably possible (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) after receiving notification   from the SEC that the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective.   (e) Prior to the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement, any Prospectus or   any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to the Holders’ Counsel   copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review   and reasonable approval of the Holders.   (f) The Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments,   including post-effective amendments, to each Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus as   may be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective as to the   applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period (including as may be necessary to   permit compliance with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act) and prepare   and file with the SEC such additional Shelf Registration Statements in order to register for resale   under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be    

 

18   amended or supplemented by any required supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to   be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably   possible to any comments (other than non-substantive comments) received from the SEC with   respect to the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide the Holders’   Counsel with true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the SEC relating to the   Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as possible; provided, however, that the Company shall   not provide copies of any correspondence that would result in the disclosure of material non-   public information concerning the Company (it being understood that the Company shall provide   such information to the Holders’ Counsel at such time as it is no longer material non-public   information); and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act   and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the   Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the   Holders set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (in each case, as amended or   supplemented).   (g) The Company shall notify the Warrant Agent and the Holders’ Counsel in   the event that: (i) any Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment is declared   effective; (ii) the SEC issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Shelf   Registration Statement or initiates any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) the Company receives   notice of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable   Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such   purpose; or (iv) the financial statements included or incorporated by reference in any Shelf   Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion or incorporation therein or any statement   made in any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or   deemed to be incorporated therein by reference is untrue in any material respect or any revision   to a Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document is required so that it will not   contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be   stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under   which they were made, not misleading. The Company shall notify the Holders’ Counsel in the   event that the SEC or any other federal or state Governmental Authority requests any amendment   or supplement to any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or requests additional   information related thereto.   (h) Upon the occurrence of any event described in paragraph (g) above, the   Company shall as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment,   including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Shelf Registration Statement or a   supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated   therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither   will the Shelf Registration Statement contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to   state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not   misleading, nor will such Prospectus contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to   state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances   under which they were made, not misleading.   (i) The Company shall be permitted to suspend the availability of the Shelf   Registration Statement and the use of any Prospectus only if the Company furnishes to the   Holders a certificate signed by the chief executive or chief financial officer of the Company    

 

19   stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors: (A) any resale of   Registrable Securities could reasonably be expected to materially interfere with an acquisition,   corporate reorganization, financing or other material transaction then under consideration by the   Company or (B) there is some other material development relating to the operations or condition   (financial or other) of the Company that has not been disclosed to the general public and as to   which it is in the Company’s best interests not to disclose; provided, however, that any period   during which the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus may be   suspended pursuant to this clause (i) may not exceed forty-five (45) days in the aggregate during   any twelve (12) month period; provided, further, that the Company may not so suspend the Shelf   Registration Statement or cause the Holders or any other holder of Registrable Securities to   discontinue sales under the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus more than once in any   calendar year.   (j) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to avoid   the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness   of any Shelf Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption   from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as   practicable.   (k) The Company shall promptly deliver to the Holders and each other holder   of Registrable Securities, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus and each amendment   or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to   the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by the Holders and each   other holder of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable   Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.   (l) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders and each other holder or   transferee of Registrable Securities (i) to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of   certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Shelf   Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free of all restrictive legends, and (ii) to   enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations (permitted by any indenture   governing such securities to the extent a debt security) and registered in such names as the   Holders and each other holder or transferee of Registrable Securities may request.   (m) The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the preparation   and filing of the registration statements contemplated by this Section 2.10 by the Company,   including (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses, including without limitation those   related to filings with the SEC and in connection with applicable state securities or blue sky   laws, (ii) printing expenses, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, and (iv) reasonable   and documented legal fees and expenses of the Holders’ Counsel (or reimburse the Holders for   such fees and expenses of the Holders’ Counsel).   (n) Holder Information. Prior to filing the Shelf Registration Statement, the   Company shall provide each Holder with a copy of the questionnaire in the form attached hereto   as Annex A (the “Questionnaire”). In order to be named as a selling securityholder in the   Prospectus at the time of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder must,   before the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, have furnished a completed    

 

20   Questionnaire containing no material misstatement of fact and not omitting any material fact   required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the   circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. From and after the date that the   Shelf Registration Statement is first declared effective by the SEC, upon receipt of a completed   Questionnaire from the Holders who had not prior to such time furnished a completed   Questionnaire to the Company, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file within   fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter any amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration   Statement necessary for such Holder to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf   Registration Statement. Each Holder named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration   Statement agrees to promptly furnish to the Company an updated Questionnaire in order to make   information previously furnished to the Company by the Holder not materially misleading.   ARTICLE III   Exercise Terms   Section 3.01. Exercise. Each Warrant, when exercised, shall entitle the Holder thereof,   subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including pursuant to Section   4.09), to purchase (i) 17.6773672 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted pursuant to the terms of   this Agreement as of the Exercise Date of such Warrant, the “Base Exercise Amount”) and (ii) the   Gross Up Amount (the sum of (i) and (ii), the “Aggregate Exercise Amount”). The exercise price   of each Warrant is equal to $0.0001 per share, subject to the adjustments provided for in this   Agreement (the “Exercise Price”).   Section 3.02. Exercise Periods.   (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the   Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after   the Closing Date.   (b) Reserved.   (c) Reserved.   (d) Reserved.   (e) No Warrant shall be exercisable after August 17, 2024 (the “Expiration   Date”).   Section 3.03. Reserved.   Section 3.04. Expiration. A Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the earlier of   (i) the close of business New York City time on the Expiration Date or (ii) the date such Warrant   is exercised in full. The Company shall give notice not less than thirty (30), and not more than   sixty (60), days prior to the Expiration Date to the Holders of all then outstanding Warrants to the   effect that the Warrants will terminate and become void as of the close of business on the   Expiration Date; provided, however, that if the Company fails to give notice as provided in this   Section 3.04, the Warrants will nevertheless expire and become void on the Expiration Date.    

 

21   Section 3.05. Manner of Exercise.   (a) Warrants may be exercised upon (i) delivery of the form of election to   purchase Common Stock attached hereto as Exhibit D duly completed and signed by the Holder   and, (x) with respect to any Warrants held by any Holder through a direct or indirect participant   of the Depository, by effecting exercise pursuant to the applicable rules of the Depository for   warrant exercise, and (y) with respect to Certificated Warrants, the surrender to the Warrant   Agent at the office of the Warrant Agent of the related Warrant Certificate and (ii) payment to   the Warrant Agent, for the account of the Company, of the applicable Exercise Price for each   Warrant Share issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants then exercised (a “Cash Exercise”).   Such payment shall be made in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of   the Company or by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company for such   purpose. Warrants may be exercised by Cash Exercise only if at the time of such exercise a   Shelf Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act.   (b) Whether or not a Shelf Registration Statement is then effective under the   Securities Act, Warrants may also be exercised without the payment of cash by (i) reducing the   Base Exercise Amount so as to yield a number of shares of Common Stock (or securities, cash or   other property) upon the exercise of such Warrant equal to the product of (a) the Base Exercise   Amount and (b) the Cashless Exercise Ratio (the “Base Cashless Exercise Amount”), and (ii)   reducing the Gross Up Amount so as to yield a number of shares of Common Stock (or   securities, cash or other property) equal to the product of (x) the Gross Up Amount and (y) the   Cashless Exercise Ratio (the sum of (i) and (ii), the “Aggregate Cashless Exercise Amount”).   An exercise of a Warrant in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence is herein called   a “Cashless Exercise.” Upon surrender of a Warrant Certificate representing more than one   Warrant in connection with the Holder’s option to elect a Cashless Exercise for the Warrants that   the Holder specifies are to be exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the number of shares of   Common Stock (or securities, cash or other property) deliverable upon a Cashless Exercise shall   be equal to the Aggregate Cashless Exercise Amount multiplied by the number of Warrants that   the Holder specifies are to be exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise. All provisions of this   Agreement shall be applicable with respect to a surrender of a Warrant Certificate pursuant to a   Cashless Exercise for less than the full number of Warrants represented thereby.   (c) Subject to Section 3.02 and 3.09, the rights represented by the Warrants   shall be exercisable at the election of the Holders thereof either in full at any time or from time to   time in part and in the event that a Warrant Certificate is surrendered for exercise of less than all   the Warrants represented by such Warrant Certificate at any time prior to the Expiration Date, a   new Warrant Certificate representing the remaining Warrants shall be issued. In the case of   Certificated Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver to the Holders the   required new Warrant Certificates, and the Company, at the Warrant Agent’s request, shall   supply the Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates duly signed on behalf of the Company for   such purpose.   Section 3.06. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.06, upon the   exercise of Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall issue   and cause a transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Stock Transfer Agent”) to countersign and   deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may    

 

22   designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock so purchased   upon the exercise of such Warrants or other securities or property to which it is entitled, registered   or otherwise, to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same (including any depositary   institution so designated by a Holder), together with cash as provided in Section 3.07 in respect of   any fractional shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such exercise; provided,   however, that if, at such date, the transfer books for the shares of Common Stock shall be closed,   the certificates for the Common Stock in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised shall   be issuable as of the date on which such books shall next be opened and until such date the   Company shall be under no duty to deliver any certificates for such Common Stock; provided   further, however, that such transfer books, unless otherwise required by law, shall not be closed at   any one time for a period longer than twenty (20) calendar days. Such certificate or certificates   shall be deemed to have been issued and any Person so designated to be named therein shall be   deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares of Common Stock as of the date of the   exercise of Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon the exercise of any Warrant   and the receipt by a Holder of the shares of Common Stock as a result thereof, the Holder will be   deemed to be bound by, and covenants to thereupon execute a joinder to, the Stockholders’   Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.   Section 3.07. Fractional Shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not be required to   issue fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of Warrants. If more than one (1)   Warrant shall be exercised in full at the same time by the same Holder, the number of full shares   of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of   the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchasable pursuant thereto. If   any fraction of a shares of Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.07,   be issuable upon the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall be   entitled to pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock,   as determined on the day immediately preceding the date the Warrant is presented for exercise,   multiplied by such fraction, computed to the nearest whole cent.   Section 3.08. Reservation of Shares of Common Stock.   (a) The Company shall at all times keep reserved out of its authorized shares   of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of   all outstanding Warrants. The registrar for the Common Stock (the “Registrar”) shall at all times   until the Expiration Date reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for such   purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Stock Transfer   Agent. The Company will supply such Stock Transfer Agent with duly executed stock   certificates for such purpose and will itself provide or otherwise make available any cash which   may be payable as provided in Section 3.07. The Company will furnish to such Stock Transfer   Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments (and certificates related thereto) transmitted to each   Holder.   (b) Reserved.   (c) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be   issued upon exercise of and payment for Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this    

 

23   Agreement shall, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free from all stamp and documentary   taxes and free from all liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof.   Section 3.09. Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the   contrary, in no event shall a Holder be entitled to exercise a Warrant by Cash Exercise unless (i) a   registration statement filed under the Securities Act in respect of the issuance of the Warrant   Shares is then effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel to the Company addressed to the Warrant   Agent the exercise of such Warrants is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities   Act and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable   securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which such Holders reside.   Section 3.10. Reserved.   Section 3.11. Right of First Offer. In the event of a ROFO Sale (as such term is defined   in the Stockholders’ Agreement) Holders shall have the rights and be subject to all of the   obligations set forth in Section 2.2 of the Stockholders’ Agreement, which section is incorporated   herein by reference mutatis mutandis.   Section 3.12. Reserved.   Section 3.13. Preemptive Rights.   (a) In the event that the Company proposes to sell or otherwise issue New   Securities that vote with the Common Stock for the election of directors generally and the   Holders would not be entitled to (i) receive such New Securities as a dividend or distribution or   (ii) receive an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of such   Holders’ Warrants as provided in ARTICLE IV (a “Preemptive Rights Issuance”), each Holder   holding Warrants representing five percent (5%) of the aggregate Warrant Shares to be received   upon the exercise of all then outstanding Warrants (a “Significant Holder”) shall have the right to   acquire up to that number or amount of such New Securities, at the price and upon substantially   the same terms and conditions as such New Securities are to be sold or otherwise issued by the   Company, as shall enable such Significant Holder to maintain the percentage of voting power for   the election of directors generally with the Common Stock such Significant Holder would hold in   the Company upon exercise of such Significant Holder’s Warrants prior to such sale or other   issuance of New Securities (assuming the exercise, exchange or conversion of all Convertible   Securities in accordance with their terms). In the event that the Company proposes to sell or   otherwise issue New Securities that generally do not vote with the Common Stock for the   election of directors generally, each Significant Holder shall have the right to acquire up to that   number or amount of such New Securities, at the price and upon substantially the same terms   and conditions as such New Securities are to be sold or otherwise issued by the Company, equal   to the product of (i) the number or amount of such New Securities being sold or otherwise issued   times (ii) the percentage of voting power for the election of directors generally with the Common   Stock of such Significant Holder immediately prior to such sale or other issuance of such New   Securities (assuming the exercise, exchange or conversion of all Convertible Securities in   accordance with their terms). For purposes of this Section 3.13, “New Securities” means any   Common Equivalent Shares, including any such securities issued by the Company in connection   with the ESOP.    

 

24   (b) In the event that the Company proposes to undertake a Preemptive Rights   Issuance, the Company shall give each Significant Holder and the Warrant Agent written notice   (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”) of its intention, stating (i) the type of New Securities, (ii) the   purchase price, number and general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue or sell   such New Securities and (iii) the estimated or actual closing date, as applicable, of the sale or   issuance of New Securities. The Preemptive Rights Notice shall be given to (x) in the case of   sales or issuances of New Securities other than in connection with Participant Elective Deferrals,   each Significant Holder and the Warrant Agent at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the   first closing of the proposed sale or issuance or (y) in the case of issuances of New Securities in   connection with Participant Elective Deferrals, the Warrant Agent within ten (10) Business Days   following the first issuance of such New Securities. Each Significant Holder shall have the right,   for a period of thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Preemptive Rights Notice (the   “Preemptive Rights Acceptance Period”), to agree to purchase up to its pro rata share of such   New Securities. Such acceptance shall be made by delivering a written notice to the Company,   the Warrant Agent and the ESOP Trustee within the Preemptive Rights Acceptance Period   specifying the number of New Securities that such Significant Holder shall purchase. For   purposes of this Section 3.13, the “pro rata share” of a Significant Holder shall mean the number   or amount of New Securities which shall enable such Significant Holder to maintain, assuming   the conversion of all Convertible Securities in accordance with their terms, the percentage equity   interest such Significant Holder would hold in the Company upon exercise of such Significant   Holder’s Warrants immediately prior to such sale or other issuance of New Securities at the   purchase price and on the terms stated in the Preemptive Rights Notice. The Company shall   include in any filings with the SEC on Form 8-K regarding a Preemptive Rights Issuance in   connection with Participant Elective Deferrals a disclosure that such sale or issuance is subject to   the provisions of this Section 3.13 and that Significant Holders have the rights set forth herein.   (c) In the event the Company delivers the Preemptive Rights Notice in   accordance with Section 3.13(b), the Company shall have a period of sixty (60) Business Days   (the “New Securities Sale Period”) from the date of the first closing specified in the Preemptive   Rights Notice to sell to third parties all such New Securities not purchased by Holders pursuant   to this Section 3.13 at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof   than the price and terms specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice. In the event the Company   has not sold all such New Securities within the New Securities Sale Period, then the Company   shall not thereafter make any Preemptive Rights Issuance without first offering the New   Securities to be sold or issued pursuant to such Preemptive Rights Issuance to the Significant   Holders in accordance with this Section 3.13.   (d) If the purchase price in connection with any Preemptive Rights Issuance   includes consideration other than cash, then the Significant Holders exercising their preemptive   rights pursuant to this Section 3.13 shall pay to the Company, in lieu of paying such non-cash   consideration, an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such non-cash consideration as   of the date such non-cash consideration would have been delivered in exchange for such New   Securities, as determined by an independent nationally recognized investment bank with   experience in transactions of comparable size and magnitude (an “Independent Financial   Expert”) selected by the Company and acceptable the Requisite Holders (as defined in the   Stockholders’ Agreement).    

 

25   (e) The closing of any Preemptive Rights Issuance shall take place at such   time and place as specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice. At the closing of Preemptive Rights   Issuance, the Company shall issue and deliver to each Significant Holder stock certificates (or, if   applicable, executed agreements) representing that number of fully paid and nonassessable New   Securities that each Significant Holder has purchased pursuant to this Section 3.13 (duly   endorsed, or with stock (or equivalent) powers duly endorsed, for transfer with signature   guaranteed, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, with any stock (or equivalent) transfer   tax stamps affixed), or other appropriate transfer instruments, if the New Securities are   uncertificated, and each such Significant Holder shall pay to the Company by wire transfer of   immediately available funds the aggregate consideration for such New Securities.   Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Section 3.13 to the contrary, to the extent the   New Securities are not being sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act,   the Company shall not be required to sell any New Securities to a Significant Holder unless an   exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available without additional   expense to the Company.   Section 3.14. Purchase of Warrants by Company; No Redemption. Subject to complying   with all restrictions contained in any other agreement to which they are parties (including the   Revolving Credit Facility, the First Lien Term Loan, the Second Lien Term Loan or the Third   Lien Notes Indenture), the Company and its Subsidiaries may purchase in the open market, by   private contracts or otherwise, all or any portion of the Warrants on such terms as the Company   may obtain. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall have   no right to redeem the Warrants.   Section 3.15. Restrictions on Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this   Agreement, including Section 3.11, absent the written consent of the Board, no Holder shall   Transfer any Warrants to any Person:   (i) If such Transfer would (A) violate any applicable securities or   other laws, (B) unless the Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the   Exchange Act, result in the Company having, if such Warrant were exercised, stockholders of   record exceeding in number either (1) 2,000 or (2) 500 or more persons who are not Accredited   Investors, or (C) limit, impair or eliminate the Company’s net operating losses either upon   Transfer or upon the exercise of such Warrant;   (ii) If the transferee is determined by the Board, in its good faith   judgment, to be a competitor, customer or supplier of the Company or any Subsidiary of the   Company and such transfer would be adverse to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a   whole; or   (iii) if such Transfer would have adverse regulatory consequences on   the Company or any Subsidiary, including (A) subjecting the Company to review or   investigation conducted by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, (B)   creating a situation where the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company would operate, or   would be deemed to operate, under foreign ownership, control or influence as determined within   the meaning of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, (C) creating an   actual or potential organizational conflict of interest that cannot be mitigated, or (D) subjecting    

 

26   the Company or any Subsidiary to suspension or debarment from receiving contracts with the   United States.   ARTICLE IV   Antidilution Provisions   Section 4.01. Cash Dividends and Distributions. In the event that at any time and from   time to time the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock any dividend or other   distribution (including any dividend or distribution made in connection with a consolidation or   merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation or any repurchase, redemption or   other acquisition of Common Stock by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company) in cash,   then the Company shall pay and distribute such dividends and distributions to the Holders of any   outstanding Warrants on the record date for such dividends or other distributions as if such   Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such record date.   Section 4.02. Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event that at any time and from   time to time the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock any dividend or other   distribution of (including any dividend or distribution made in connection with a consolidation or   merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) or otherwise issue to all holders of   Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, shares of its Capital Stock or any other   properties or securities or (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase   any of the foregoing (other then in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, (A) any dividend or   distribution described in Section 4.03 or (B) any rights, options, warrants or securities described   in Section 4.04 or Section 4.05), then the Base Exercise Amount immediately prior to such record   date for any such dividend or distribution shall, automatically and without the requirement of   further action by the Company or any Holder, be increased to a number determined by   multiplying the Base Exercise Amount immediately prior to such record date for any such   dividend or distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Value   per share of Common Stock on the record date for such dividend or distribution (less any cash   paid to Holders pursuant to Section 4.01 as part of the same transaction), and the denominator of   which shall be such Current Market Value per share of Common Stock less the then fair value of   the portion, if any, of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock consisting of   evidences of indebtedness, securities, other property, warrants, options or subscription or   purchase rights. Such adjustments shall be made, and shall only become effective, whenever any   dividend or distribution is made; provided, however, that the Company is not required to make an   adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.02 if at the time of such distribution the Company makes the   same distribution to Holders as it makes to holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the   number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrants are exercisable (whether or not   currently exercisable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.02, no   adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.02 which shall have the effect of decreasing   the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant or increasing the Exercise   Price.   Section 4.03. Changes in Common Stock. In the event that at any time and from time to   time the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on the Common Stock with   shares of Common Stock or other shares of Capital Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of    

 

27   Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding   shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) increase or   decrease the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding by reclassification of its Common   Stock, then the Base Exercise Amount immediately after the happening of such event shall be   adjusted so that, after giving effect to such adjustment, the Holder of each Warrant shall be   entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of Capital Stock upon   exercise of such Warrant representing the Base Exercise Amount that such Holder would have   owned or would have been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised (whether or not   currently exercisable) immediately prior to the happening of the events described above (or, in the   case of a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, immediately prior to the record date   therefor). An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall become effective immediately   after the distribution date, retroactive to the record date therefor in the case of a dividend or   distribution in shares of Common Stock or other shares of Capital Stock, and shall become   effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or   reclassification.   Section 4.04. Common Stock Issue. In the event that at any time or from time to time the   Company shall issue shares of Common Stock, the Base Exercise Amount immediately after such   issuance date shall be determined by multiplying the Base Exercise Amount immediately prior to   such issuance date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of   Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the issuance of such shares plus the number   of additional shares of Common Stock to be issued in such transaction, and the denominator of   which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the   date for the issuance of such shares. Adjustments shall be made, and shall only become effective,   whenever shares are issued. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.04 (i) which   shall have the effect of decreasing the Base Exercise Amount or increasing the applicable   Exercise Price or (ii) on account of the Company’s issuance of any Common Stock (a) in   accordance with terms of a Qualified Incentive Plan or (b) upon the exercise of any rights, options   or warrants issued in accordance with terms of a Qualified Incentive Plan.   Section 4.05. Issuance of Rights, Options, Warrants or Common Stock. In the event that   at any time or from time to time the Company shall issue (i) rights, options or warrants to acquire   (provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made under Section 4.04 or this Section 4.05   upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants), or (ii) securities convertible, exchangeable   or exercisable into (provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made under Section 4.04 or   this Section 4.05 upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities (other than   issuances specified in clauses (i) or (ii) which are made as the result of anti-dilution adjustments   in such securities)), Common Stock, the Base Exercise Amount immediately after such issuance   shall be determined by multiplying the Base Exercise Amount immediately prior to such issuance   by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding   immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or securities plus the number of   additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase or into which such   securities are convertible or exchangeable, and the denominator of which shall be the number of   shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options,   warrants or securities. Such adjustment shall be made, and shall only become effective, whenever   such rights, options, warrants or securities are issued. No adjustment shall be made pursuant to   this Section 4.05 (i) which shall have the effect of decreasing the Base Exercise Amount or    

 

28   increasing the Exercise Price or (ii) on account of the Company’s issuance of any rights, options   or warrants in accordance with the terms of a Qualified Incentive Plan.   Section 4.06. Voluntary Increases. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to,   make increases in the number of Warrant Shares, in addition to those required by Section 4.01   through Section 4.05 of this ARTICLE IV, as it considers to be advisable in order that any event   treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights shall   not be taxable to the recipients, or if that is not possible, to diminish any income taxes that are   otherwise payable because of such event; provided that no such adjustment shall be made without   the consent of the Required Warrant Holders if such adjustment would result in the increase of   income tax liabilities of the Holders.   Section 4.07. Combination; Liquidation.   (a) Except as provided in Section 4.07(b), in the event that at any time a   Liquidity Event occurs, then, to the extent any Warrants will remain outstanding immediately   following such Liquidity Event, as a condition of the consummation of the Liquidity Event,   lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder, upon the exercise thereof at   any time on or after the consummation of the Liquidity Event, shall be entitled to receive, and   such Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to receive, in lieu of the Base Exercise Amount   prior to such consummation, the securities, cash or other property to which such Holder would   have been entitled upon consummation of the Liquidity Event if such Holder had exercised such   Warrant immediately prior thereto (whether or not currently exercisable and subject to   adjustments from and after the consummation date as nearly equivalent as possible to the   adjustments provided for in this ARTICLE IV). Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 4.07,   the Company will not effect any Liquidity Event unless prior to the consummation thereof each   corporation or entity (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any securities   or other property upon the exercise of the Warrants as provided in this Agreement shall assume,   by written instrument delivered to each Holder of the Warrants, the obligation to deliver to such   Holder such securities or other property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions such   Holder may be entitled to receive, and such corporation or entity shall have similarly mailed or   delivered to each Holder of the Warrants an opinion of counsel for such corporation or entity,   reasonably satisfactory to the Required Warrant Holders, which opinion shall state that all of the   outstanding Warrants, including the provisions of this ARTICLE IV, shall thereafter continue in   full force and effect and shall be enforceable against the Company and such corporation or entity   in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other matters as such   Holders may reasonably request. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.07 shall similarly   apply to successive mergers, consolidations, sales of assets, liquidations and recapitalizations.   (b) In the event of (i) a Liquidity Event where consideration to all holders of   the Common Stock (or any other security into which the Warrants are then exercisable) in   exchange for their securities is payable solely in cash or (ii) the dissolution, liquidation or   winding-up of the Company, the Holders shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender of their   Warrants, only such cash distributions (or, in the case of in-kind distributions upon dissolution,   liquidation or winding-up of the Company, such other consideration as is being so distributed) on   an equal basis with the holders of Common Stock (or any other security into which the Warrants    

 

29   are then exercisable) in exchange for their securities, as if the Warrants had been exercised   immediately prior to such event (whether or not currently exercisable), less the Exercise Price.   (c) In the event of any Liquidity Event described Section 4.07(b), the   surviving or acquiring Person and, in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of   the Company, the Company, shall deposit promptly with the Warrant Agent the funds, if any,   necessary to pay the Holders the amounts to which they are entitled as described above. After   such funds and the surrendered Warrants are received, the Warrant Agent shall make payment to   the Holders by delivering a check or wire transfer in such amount as is appropriate (or, in the   case of consideration other than cash, such other consideration as is appropriate) to such Person   or Persons as it may be directed in writing by the Holders surrendering such Warrants.   Section 4.08. 2010 Warrants. If at any time or from time to time on or before March 15,   2017 a Liquidity Event occurs, then the Base Exercise Amount immediately prior to such event   shall, automatically and without the requirement of further action by the Company or any Holder,   be increased to a number determined by multiplying the Base Exercise Amount immediately prior   to such event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common   Stock outstanding immediately preceding such event plus the number of additional shares of   Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of the 2010 Warrants pursuant to   antidilution adjustments under Article IV of the 2010 Warrant Agreement (the “Additional 2010   Warrant Shares”) if all of the Warrants (whether or not the Warrants are then exercisable) were   exercised immediately prior to such Liquidity Event and the denominator of which shall be the   number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding such Liquidity Event   plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate exercise price for the Additional   2010 Warrant Shares would purchase at the price per share of Common Stock to be paid to the   Company’s stockholders or to be received by the Company in connection with such Liquidity   Event. No adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.08 which shall have the effect of   decreasing the Base Exercise Amount or increasing the Exercise Price.   Section 4.09. Prior Period ESOP Issuance. In the event of a Prior Period ESOP Issuance,   the Base Exercise Amount shall, automatically and without the requirement of further action by   the Company or any Holder, be increased by a number determined as follows, which adjustment   shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price to be paid in acquiring property for U.S.   federal income tax purposes:   (a) the Base Exercise Amount shall be increased by an amount equal to:   (Aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or purchased   in such Prior Period ESOP Issuance / 0.6) x 0.4   __________________________________________________________________________   306,889   Section 4.10. Superseding Adjustment. Upon the expiration of any rights, options,   warrants or conversion or exchange privileges which resulted in adjustments pursuant to this   ARTICLE IV, if any thereof shall not have been exercised, the Base Exercise Amount shall be   readjusted pursuant to the applicable section of ARTICLE IV as if (i) the only Warrant Shares   issuable upon exercise of such rights, options, warrants, conversion or exchange privileges were    

 

30   the Warrant Shares, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or   conversion or exchange privileges and (ii) Warrant Shares actually issued, if any, were issuable   for the consideration actually received by the Company upon such exercise plus the aggregate   consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the issuance, sale or grant of all such   rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange privileges whether or not exercised and the   Exercise Price shall be readjusted inversely; provided, however, that no such readjustment (except   by reason of an intervening adjustment under any other provision of this ARTICLE IV) shall have   the effect of decreasing the Base Exercise Amount or increasing the Exercise Price by an amount   in excess of the amount of the adjustment initially made in respect of the issuance, sale or grant of   such rights, options, warrants or conversion or exchange privileges.   Section 4.11. Minimum Adjustment. The adjustments required by the preceding sections   of this ARTICLE IV shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an   adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the applicable Exercise Price or the Base   Exercise Amount that would otherwise be required shall be made unless and until such   adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made increases or decreases   by at least one percent (1%) of the applicable Exercise Price or the Base Exercise Amount   immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of   less than such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment,   together with other adjustments required by this ARTICLE IV and not previously made, would   result in a minimum adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be   deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence. In computing   adjustments under this Article IV, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into   account to the nearest one-ten millionth (1/10,000,000th) of a share.   Section 4.12. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Exercise Price or the Base Exercise   Amount is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a   certificate of the Company’s chief executive officer or chief financial officer setting forth, in   reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment   was calculated (including a description of the basis and all supporting documentation on which   (i) the Board determined the then fair value of any evidences of indebtedness, other securities or   property or warrants, options or other subscription or purchase rights and (ii) the Current Market   Value of the Common Stock was determined, if either of such determinations were required), and   specifying the Exercise Price and the number and type of shares of Common Stock issuable upon   exercise of the Warrants after giving effect to such adjustment. The Company shall promptly   cause the Warrant Agent to deliver such certificate to each Holder in accordance with Section   5.02(g). The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely on such certificate and shall be under no duty   or responsibility with respect to any such certificate, except to exhibit the same from time to time,   to any Holder desiring an inspection thereof during reasonable business hours. The Warrant   Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine   whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the Base   Exercise Amount, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or   with respect to the method employed in making such adjustment or the validity or value of any   Warrant Shares.   Section 4.13. Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that the Company shall   propose to (a) pay any dividend payable in securities of any class to the holders of its Common    

 

31   Stock or to make any other non-cash dividend or distribution to the holders of its Common Stock,   (b) offer the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any securities   convertible into shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities,   rights or options, (c) issue any (i) shares of Common Stock, (ii) rights, options or warrants   entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for shares of Common Stock or (iii) securities   convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock (in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii),   if such issuance or adjustment would result in an adjustment hereunder), (d) effect any capital   reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, (e) effect the voluntary or involuntary   dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or (f) make a tender offer or exchange   offer with respect to the Common Stock, the Company shall within five (5) Business Days after   any such action or offer send to the Warrant Agent a notice of such proposed action or offer and   the Warrant Agent shall send the Holders a notice thereof in accordance with Section 5.02(g) (in   such form as shall be furnished to the Warrant Agent by the Company). Such notice shall specify   the record date for the purposes of such dividend, distribution or rights, or the date such issuance   or event is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if   any such date is to be fixed, and shall briefly indicate the effect, if any, of such action on the   Common Stock and on the number and kind of any other shares of stock and on other property, if   any, and the Base Exercise Amount and the Exercise Price after giving effect to any adjustment   pursuant to ARTICLE IV which will be required as a result of such action. Such notice shall be   given as promptly as possible and (x) in the case of any action covered by clause (a) or (b) above,   at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for   purposes of such action or (y) in the case of any other such action, at least twenty (20) days prior   to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders   of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier.   Section 4.14. Adjustment to Warrant Certificate. The form of Warrant Certificate need   not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to this ARTICLE IV or when this   Agreement was amended and restated as of November 5, 2014, and Warrant Certificates issued   after such adjustment may state the same applicable Exercise Price and the same number of shares   of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as are stated in the Warrant Certificates   initially issued pursuant to this Agreement on August 18, 2014. The Company, however, may at   any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may   deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the   Warrant Certificate, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in   exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form   as so changed.   Section 4.15. No Dilution or Impairment; Reference to Common Stock; OTHER   PROVISIONS.   (a) The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or   through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, sale of   assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any   of the terms of this Agreement, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all   such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to   protect the rights of the Holders against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the   generality of the foregoing, the Company will take all such action as may be necessary or    

 

32   appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-   assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of a Warrant pursuant to this Agreement.   (b) If as a result of any adjustment made pursuant to this ARTICLE IV a   Holder may receive upon exercise of a Warrant shares of one (1) or more classes or series of   Capital Stock of the Company (other than the Common Stock), the number of shares of each   such class or series of Capital Stock issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant (both the Aggregate   Exercise Amount and the Base Exercise Amount), and the Exercise Price with respect to each   such class or series of Capital Stock, shall prior to the exercise of a Warrant be subject to further   adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to the Common Stock in this ARTICLE IV   and references to Common Stock in ARTICLE IV shall include each such class or series of   Capital Stock.   (c) If after taking into account the Gross Up Amount, the purchase price for a   share of Common Stock becomes less than the then par value of the Common Stock, the   Company shall take all requisite action to reduce the par value of the Common Stock to an   amount so that after taking into account the Gross-Up Amount, the purchase price for a share of   Common Stock is equal to or greater than the then par value of the Common Stock.   ARTICLE V   Warrant Agent   Section 5.01. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby appoints the   Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the provisions of this   Agreement and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

(b) Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it   (who may be counsel to the Company), and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete   authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in   good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel.   (c) Documents. The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no   liability for or in respect of any action taken or thing suffered by it in reliance upon any Warrant   Certificate, notice, opinion, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or   document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or signed by the   proper parties.   (d) No Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform   only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and in the Warrant Certificates,   and no implied duties or obligations of the Warrant Agent shall be read into this Agreement or    

 

33   the Warrant Certificates against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any   obligation to take any action hereunder which may tend to involve it in any expense or liability   for which it does not receive indemnity if such indemnity is reasonably requested. The Warrant   Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use by the Company of   any of the Warrant Certificates countersigned by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the   Holders or on behalf of the Holders pursuant to this Agreement or for the application by the   Company of the proceeds of the Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or   responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of its covenants or   agreements contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates or in the case of the   receipt of any written demand from a Holder with respect to such default, including any duty or   responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise.   (e) Not Responsible for Adjustments or Validity of Stock. The Warrant   Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine   whether any facts exist that may require an adjustment of the number of shares of Common   Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant or the Exercise Price, or with respect to the nature   or extent of any adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or in this   Agreement or in any supplemental agreement provided to be employed, in making the same.   The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value of any shares of   Common Stock or of any securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered   upon the exercise of any Warrant or upon any adjustment pursuant to ARTICLE IV, and it   makes no representation with respect thereto. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for   any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares   of Common Stock or stock certificates upon the surrender of any Warrant Certificate for the   purpose of exercise or upon any adjustment pursuant to ARTICLE IV, or to comply with any of   the covenants of the Company contained in ARTICLE IV.   (f) Reserved.   (g) Notice to Warrant Holders. The Warrant Agent shall, at the Company’s   expense, deliver all demands, notices, requests, consents and other communications and   information delivered to it (collectively, “Notices”), in its capacity as Warrant Agent, by the   Company, any Holder or any holder of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the   Stockholders’ Agreement or this Agreement, to the Holders or any subset thereof (as provided in   the Stockholders’ Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable) promptly following receipt of   such Notices, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following such receipt for   Warrants held of record by the Depository (which notice shall be delivered electronically) or five   (5) Business Days following such receipt for Warrants held of record by Persons other than the   Depositary (which notice shall be delivered by mail); provided, that any such Notice is in written   form, which explicitly states (i) that it is a Notice and (ii) to whom the Warrant Agent is required   to deliver such Notice.   Section 5.03. Individual Rights of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent and any   stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the   Warrants or other securities of the Company or its affiliates or become pecuniarily interested in   transactions in which the Company or its affiliates may be interested, or contract with or lend   money to the Company or its affiliates or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not    

 

34   the Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Warrant   Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company, the Holders or for any other legal   entity.   Section 5.04. Warrant Agent’s Disclaimer. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible   for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Agreement or the Warrant   Certificates and it shall not be responsible for any statement in this Agreement or the Warrant   Certificates other than its countersignature thereon.   Section 5.05. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant   Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as agreed and to reimburse the   Warrant Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it, including   the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Warrant Agent’s agents and counsel. The   Company shall indemnify the Warrant Agent, its officers, directors, agents and counsel against   any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable agents’ and attorneys’ fees and   expenses) incurred by it without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part   arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement,   the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the   consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any claim, litigation, investigation   or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing whether or not the Warrant Agent is a party thereto,   including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall notify   the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company need not   reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Warrant Agent   through willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The Company’s payment obligations   pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.   To secure the Company’s payment obligations under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent   shall have a lien prior to the Holders on all money or property held or collected by the Warrant   Agent.   Section 5.06. Successor Warrant Agent.   (a) The Company To Provide and Maintain Warrant Agent.

The Warrant Agent may at any time resign by   giving written notice to the Company and the Holders (in accordance with Section 5.02(g)) of   such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become   effective, provided, however, that such date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after the date on   which such notice is given unless the Company otherwise agrees. The Warrant Agent hereunder   may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on   behalf of the Required Warrant Holders and specifying such removal and the date when it shall   become effective, which date shall not be less than sixty (60) days after such notice is given   unless the Warrant Agent otherwise agrees. Any removal under this Section 5.06 shall take    

 

35   effect upon the appointment by the Company as hereinafter provided of a successor Warrant   Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company authorized under the laws of the jurisdiction of its   organization to exercise corporate trust powers) and the acceptance of such appointment by such   successor Warrant Agent.   (c) Successor Warrant Agent. In the event that at any time the Warrant Agent   shall resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged   bankrupt or insolvent, or shall commence a voluntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as   now or hereafter constituted, or under any other applicable U.S. Federal or state bankruptcy,   insolvency or similar law or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a   receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the   Warrant Agent or its property or affairs, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors,   or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall take   corporate action in furtherance of any such action, or a decree or order for relief by a court   having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered in respect of the Warrant Agent in an   involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other   applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or a decree or order by a court   having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered for the appointment of a receiver,   custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Warrant Agent or   of its property or affairs, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Warrant Agent   or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation, winding up or   liquidation, a successor Warrant Agent, qualified as aforesaid, acceptable to the Required   Warrant Holders shall be appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing, filed with the   successor Warrant Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Warrant Agent and   acceptance by the successor Warrant Agent of such appointment, the Warrant Agent shall cease   to be Warrant Agent hereunder; provided, however, that in the event of the resignation of the   Warrant Agent under this subsection (c), such resignation shall be effective on the earlier of (i)   the date specified in the Warrant Agent’s notice of resignation and (ii) the appointment and   acceptance of a successor Warrant Agent hereunder.   (d) Successor To Expressly Assume Duties. Any successor Warrant Agent   appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the   Company an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor   Warrant Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the   rights and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Warrant   Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then   unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor   Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all monies, securities and other property on deposit   with or held by such predecessor, as Warrant Agent hereunder.   (e) Successor by Merger.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required   (1) to comply with Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Item 10(e)   of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC (with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures   contained therein), in each case as in effect on the Issue Date, (2) to comply with any   requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC to the extent such requirements were   not complied with in the final prospectus of the Company dated August 11, 2014 filed pursuant   to Rule 424 with the SEC on August 14, 2014 or to otherwise provide any disclosure with   respect to the results of operations or any other financial or statistical disclosure not of a type

(e) While the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company is in   registration with respect to an initial public offering, the Company or any direct or indirect parent   of the Company shall not be required to disclose any information or take any actions which, in   the view of the Company, would violate the securities laws or the SEC’s “gun jumping” rules.   Section 6.02. Persons Benefitting. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be   construed to confer upon any Person other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders   any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any part hereof, except as set   forth in Section 3.10.

(e) No Holders nor any of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the   “Identified Persons” and, individually, an “Identified Person”), shall, to the fullest extent   permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (i) engaging in the same or   similar business activities or lines of business in which the Company or any Subsidiary is   engaged or proposes to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with the Company or any Subsidiary,   and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Company or   its equity holders or to any Subsidiary of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by   reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent   permitted by law, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be   offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential matter, transaction or interest that is   presented to, or acquired, developed or created by an Identified Person which may be a corporate   opportunity for an Identified Person and the Company or any Subsidiary (a “Relevant Corporate   Opportunity”), except as otherwise provided in Section 6.03(f). Subject to Section 6.03(f), in the   event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a Relevant Corporate Opportunity, such    

 

38   Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or   offer such Relevant Corporate Opportunity to the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the fullest   extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Company or its equity holders or to any   Subsidiary of the Company for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director of the   Company solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such   Relevant Corporate Opportunity for itself or offers or directs such Relevant Corporate   Opportunity to another Person. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby   waives any claim against any Identified Person, and agrees to indemnify all Identified Persons   against any claim, that is based on fiduciary duties, the corporate opportunity doctrine or any   other legal theory which could in any way limit any Identified Person from pursuing or engaging   in any Relevant Corporate Opportunity.   (f) The Company does not renounce its interest in any Relevant Corporate   Opportunity presented to any Identified Person if such Relevant Corporate Opportunity is   expressly presented to such person solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of the   Company, and the provisions of Section 6.03(e) shall not apply to any such Relevant Corporate   Opportunity.   Section 6.04. Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended by the   parties hereto without the consent of any Holder for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of   curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in this Agreement;   provided, however, that such action shall not adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders.

This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with a Warrant Agreement   dated as of August 18, 2014 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between the Company and Wilmington   Trust, National Association (in such capacity, the “Warrant Agent”, which term includes any   successor Warrant Agent under the Warrant Agreement), and is subject to the terms and   provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions the Holder   of this Warrant Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is hereby   incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. Reference is hereby made to the   Warrant Agreement for a full statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and   obligations of the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Holders. Capitalized terms used but not   defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Warrant Agreement. A copy of   the Warrant Agreement may be obtained for inspection by the Holder hereof upon written   request to the Warrant Agent at Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington,   DE 19890-1615, Attention: Corporate Capital Markets – Alion Science and Technology   Corporation.   Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised in whole   or in part (i) by presentation of this Warrant Certificate with the Election to Purchase attached   hereto duly executed and with the simultaneous payment of the Exercise Price in cash (subject to   adjustment) to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company at the office of the Warrant   Agent or (ii) by Cashless Exercise. Payment of the Exercise Price in cash shall be made by   certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of funds   to an account designated by the Company for such purpose. Payment by Cashless Exercise shall   be made without the payment of cash by reducing the amount of Common Stock that would be   obtainable upon the exercise of a Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price in cash so as to   yield a number of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Warrant equal to the   product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant is exercisable as   of the Exercise Date (if the Exercise Price were being paid in cash) and (2) a fraction, the   numerator of which is the excess of the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on the   * To be used for Warrant Certificates issued prior to November 5, 2014.    

 

A-3   Exercise Date over the Exercise Price per share as of the Exercise Date and the denominator of   which is the Current Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the Exercise Date.   As provided in the Warrant Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein set   forth, the Warrants shall be exercisable at the time specified in the Warrant Agreement;   provided, however, that Holders will be able to exercise their Warrants only if (i) the exercise is   pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) in the opinion of   counsel to the Company addressed to the Warrant Agent the exercise of such Warrants is exempt   from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and such securities are qualified   for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states or other   jurisdictions in which such Holders reside; provided further, however, that no Warrant shall be   exercisable after Expiration Date.   In the event of a Liquidity Event, the Holder hereof will be entitled to receive upon   exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of shares of Capital Stock or other securities, cash   or other property as the Holder would have received had the Holder exercised its Warrants   immediately prior to such Liquidity Event; provided, however, that in the event that, in   connection with such Liquidity Event, consideration to holders of Common Stock in exchange   for their shares is payable solely in cash or in the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-   up of the Company, the Holder hereof will be entitled to receive such cash distributions on an   equal basis with the holders of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of the   Warrants, as if the Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to such Liquidity Event, less   the Exercise Price.   As provided in the Warrant Agreement, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable   upon the exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment upon the happening of certain events.   If a Holder proposes to transfer its Warrants to an unaffiliated third party, such Holder   must first offer to Persons beneficially owning more than five percent (5%) of the Common   Stock the option to purchase such Warrants on the same terms and conditions as provided in the   proposed sale to such third party. The right of first offer will remain open for a period of twenty   two (22) days, following which the Company will have the option to acquire any remaining   Warrants not purchased by such Holders.   Except in the case of a sale or issuance for which the Holders are entitled to receive an   adjustment pursuant to Article IV of the Warrant Agreement, the Significant Holders shall have a   preemptive right to purchase their pro rata share of all New Securities offered for sale by the   Company at a price and upon substantially the same terms as such New Securities are to be sold   or issued by the Company.   The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or   other governmental charges in connection with the registration of the transfer or exchange of the   Warrant Certificates pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Warrant Agreement, but not for any   exchange or original issuance (not involving a transfer) with respect to temporary Warrant   Certificates, the exercise of the Warrants or the Common Stock.    

 

A-4   Upon any partial exercise of Certificated Warrants, there shall be countersigned and   issued to the Holder hereof a new Warrant Certificate representing those Warrants which were   not exercised. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at the office of the Warrant Agent by   presenting this Warrant Certificate properly endorsed with a request to exchange this Warrant   Certificate for other Warrant Certificates evidencing an equal number of Warrants. No fractional   shares of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company   shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock on   the day immediately preceding the date the Warrant is exercised, multiplied by the fraction of   such share of Common Stock that would be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant, computed to   the nearest whole cent.   All shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the exercise of the Warrants   and payment therefor shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-   assessable.   The Holder in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered may be deemed and   treated by the Company and the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of the Warrant Certificate   for all purposes whatsoever and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by   notice to the contrary.

(b) Each Significant Person shall have the right, for a period of twenty-two   (22) Business Days after receipt by the Warrant Agent of the ROFO Initiation Notice (the   “ROFO Period”), to agree to purchase up to its pro rata share of the ROFO Shares at the   proposed minimum purchase price and on the other terms set forth in the ROFO Initiation   Notice (the “First Offer”).  Such right shall be exercised by delivering a written notice (the   “ROFO Notice”) to the Company and the Initiating ROFO Seller within the ROFO Period   specifying the number of ROFO Shares that such Significant Person agrees to purchase.  If any   Significant Person does not accept all or any part of its pro rata share of the ROFO Shares (the   “Rejected ROFO Shares”), then, upon the expiration of the ROFO Period (or such earlier time   period that all Significant Persons have delivered a ROFO Notice and there are Rejected   ROFO Shares), all of the Significant Persons that accepted the First Offer in full shall have the   right, for a period of five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Company provides   notice (the “ROFO Period Expiration Notice”) to such Significant Persons that the ROFO   Period has expired (or that all Significant Persons have delivered a ROFO Notice and there are   Rejected ROFO Shares) (the “Reallotment Period”), to agree to purchase any or all of the   Rejected ROFO Shares at the minimum purchase price and on the other terms stated in the   ROFO Initiation Notice.  Such right shall be exercised by delivering a written notice to the   Company and the Initiating ROFO Seller within the Reallotment Period specifying the number   of Rejected ROFO Shares that such Significant Person agrees to purchase (the “Reallotment   Notice”).  The Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days,   following expiration of the ROFO Period (or such earlier time that all Significant Persons have   delivered a ROFO Notice and there are Rejected ROFO Shares) provide the ROFO Period   Expiration Notice to all Significant Persons who have accepted the First Offer.  If the number   of Rejected ROFO Shares accepted exceeds the number of Rejected ROFO Shares, then the   Rejected ROFO Shares to be purchased shall be allocated pro rata among the Significant   Persons who have delivered a Reallotment Notice, with no Significant Person being required to   purchase more Shares than it has agreed to purchase (the “Reallocation Process”).    (c) If either no Significant Person accepts the First Offer or not all of the   ROFO Shares are accepted pursuant to the First Offer and the Significant Persons do not accept   all of the Rejected ROFO Shares (the “Rejected Reallotment Shares”), then, upon the   expiration of (i) the ROFO Period, if no Significant Person accepts the First Offer or (ii) the   Reallotment Period (or such earlier time that all Significant Persons have delivered a   Reallotment Notice and there are Rejected Reallotment Shares) if not all of the ROFO Shares

Such right shall be exercised by   delivering a written notice to the Initiating ROFO Seller, the Warrant Agent and each   Significant Person who is a Holder within the Company ROFO Period specifying the number   of ROFO Shares or Rejected Reallotment Shares, as the case may be, that the Company agrees   to purchase.    (d) If effective acceptances are not received pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or   2.2(c) with respect to all of the ROFO Shares, then the Initiating ROFO Seller may Transfer to   a ROFO Purchaser all of the ROFO Shares not so accepted (the “Remaining ROFO Shares”),   at a price not less than the proposed minimum purchase price, and on terms not more favorable   to the ROFO Purchaser than the other terms stated in the ROFO Initiation Notice; provided,   that (i) such Transfer takes place within sixty (60) Business Days after the expiration of the   Company ROFO Period (the “ROFO Sale Period”) and (ii) if the consideration to be paid in   exchange for the Remaining ROFO Shares by a ROFO Purchaser pursuant to this Section   2.2(d) consists of or includes any consideration other than cash, the Initiating ROFO Seller   must provide to the Company and the Warrant Agent an appraisal of the non-cash   consideration (as determined by a nationally recognized investment bank selected by the   Board), providing that the non-cash consideration has a value that, when added with the cash   consideration to be paid for the Remaining ROFO Shares, is at least equal to the minimum   purchase price set forth in the ROFO Initiation Notice.  The Company shall promptly, but in no   event later than five (5) Business Days following receipt of such appraisal, deliver such   appraisal to all Holders who are Significant Persons.  If all or any part of the Remaining ROFO   Shares are not Transferred by the Initiating ROFO Seller during the ROFO Sale Period, the   right of the Initiating ROFO Seller to Transfer any such Remaining ROFO Shares shall expire   and the obligations of this Section 2.2 with respect to such Remaining ROFO Shares shall be   reinstated.

(c) In the event the Company delivers the Company New Securities Notice in   accordance with Section 3.2(b), the Company shall have a period of sixty (60) Business Days   (the “New Securities Sale Period”) from the date of the first closing or issuance specified in the   Company New Securities Notice to sell to third parties all such New Securities not purchased   by Holders pursuant to this Section 3.2 at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to   the purchasers thereof than the price and terms specified in the Company New Securities   Notice, and such purchasers shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of   this Agreement as provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii).  In the event the Company has not sold all   such New Securities within the New Securities Sale Period, then the Company shall not   thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such New Securities to the   Holders in accordance with this Section 3.2.    (d) If the purchase price in connection with any issuance or sale of New   Securities contemplated by this Section 3.2 includes consideration other than cash, then the   Holders exercising their preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall pay to the   Company, in lieu of paying such non-cash consideration, an amount in cash equal to the fair   market value of such non-cash consideration as of the date such non-cash consideration would   have been delivered in exchange for such New Securities, as determined by a nationally   recognized investment bank selected by the Company and acceptable to the Requisite Holders.   (e) The closing of any issuance or sale of New Securities pursuant to this   Section 3.2 shall take place at such time and place as specified in the Company New Securities   Notice.  At the closing of such issuance or sale, the Company shall issue and deliver to each   Holder, if such securities are certificated, stock certificates (or, if applicable, executed     

 

   - 14 -      agreements) representing that number of fully paid and nonassessable New Securities that each   Holder has purchased pursuant to this Section 3.2 free and clear of any liens or encumbrances,   and, if such securities are uncertificated (and are permitted to be uncertificated under   Applicable Law), deliver such uncertificated securities free and clear of any liens or   encumbrances, and each such Holder shall pay to the Company by wire transfer of immediately   available funds the aggregate consideration for such New Securities.  Notwithstanding the   foregoing or anything in this Section 3.2 to the contrary, to the extent the New Securities are   not being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall not be required to sell   any New Securities to a Holder unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the   Securities Act is available without additional expense to the Company.   SECTION 3.3. Confidentiality.  Each Holder hereby agrees that it will keep   strictly confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose, other than to hold,   vote, dispose and monitor its existing investment in the Company, any Confidential Information;   provided, that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall treat it as they do their own   Confidential Information and in no event may a Holder make any such disclosure to any   competitor, customer or supplier of the Company; and provided, further, that a Holder may   disclose (on a confidential basis) Confidential Information (a) to its attorneys, accountants,   consultants and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection   with its holding, voting, disposition and monitoring of its existing investment in the Company   (and to whom the confidential nature of the information is disclosed), (b) to any Affiliate, or to   any director, officer, employee, partner, member or regulator of such Holder or Affiliate in the   ordinary course of business, to the extent necessary to hold, vote, dispose and monitor its   existing investment in the Company (and to whom the confidential nature of the information is   disclosed), (c) to a potential transferee, to the extent necessary to consummate a Transfer that is   consistent with this Agreement of all or a portion of its investment to such transferee and with   whom the Holder has entered into a confidentiality agreement (with the Company as a third party   beneficiary) with confidentiality provisions substantially similar to this Section 3.3, (d) to current   Holders who are bound by this Section 3.3, or (e) as may otherwise be required by Applicable   Law or judicial or administrative process, if such Holder, to the extent permitted by Applicable   Law and practicable under the circumstances, notifies the Company sufficiently in advance to   permit the Company to seek an appropriate protective order or take other protective measures,   agrees to disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which it reasonably believes   it is required to disclose to comply with such Applicable Law or judicial or administrative   process, agrees to take, at the Company’s expense, all reasonable steps requested by the   Company to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure and, to the extent practicable,   await the final outcome of any motion for a protective order that the Company may file before   disclosing any Confidential Information.  The acts and omissions of any Person to whom such   Holder may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to (i) clauses “(a)” and “(b)” of the   preceding sentence which, if performed or omitted by such Holder would have breached such   Holder’s obligations under this Section 3.3, shall be attributable to such Holder as a breach of   this Section 3.3 for purposes of determining such Holder’s compliance with this Section 3.3,   unless such Person and the Company have entered into a confidentiality agreement between   them that is consistent with the terms of this Section 3.3 in which case the acts and omissions of   such Person shall not be attributable to such Holder, and (ii) clauses “(c)”, “(d)” and “(e)” of the   preceding sentence shall not be attributable to such Holder for purposes of such Holder’s   compliance with this Section 3.3; provided, that that the Company acknowledges that Holders     

 

   - 15 -      may, without disclosing any Confidential Information, advise accounts and funds with respect to   investments in entities engaged in businesses similar to those conducted by the Company and   that the Confidential Information may influence such Holders’ views on investments in entities   engaged in businesses similar to those conducted by the Company or in entities in other   businesses or industries.  The Company makes no warranty, either express or implied,   concerning the Confidential Information.  All copies or reproductions of Confidential   Information shall remain the sole property of the Company and shall be subject to the restrictions   on use, disclosure and transfer described above.  If any Holder who is a recipient of Confidential   Information ceases to be a holder of the Common Stock, upon request by the Company such   recipient shall pursuant to Company instructions as soon as practicable either:    (a) return all originals, copies and reproductions of the Confidential   Information to the Company; or   (b) destroy all such originals, copies and reproductions, and shall not retain   any copies or reproductions thereof in its possession.  Upon request by the Company, the   recipient shall provide to the Company written confirmation that it has not retained any   originals, copies or reproductions of Confidential Information.  The obligations under the   previous two sentences not to retain any originals, copies or reproductions of Confidential   Information shall be subject to the following: (i) such Holder may retain originals, copies and   reproductions in accordance with the policies and procedures implemented by such Holder to   retain such Confidential Information in order to comply with Applicable Law, (ii) such Holder   shall not be obligated to return, destroy or expunge Confidential Information maintained in the   ordinary course of such Holder’s business in accordance with its records retention policies,   legal and regulatory compliance, due diligence, security and/or disaster recovery procedures,   and (iii) such Holder shall only be required to expunge such Confidential Information from any   computer, electronic storage mechanism, word processor or other device containing such   information to the extent commercially practicable.     SECTION 3.4. Other Business Opportunities.     (a) No Holders nor any of their respective Affiliates, other than the ESOP   Trust or any officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the   “Identified Persons” and, individually, an “Identified Person”), shall, to the fullest extent   permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (i) engaging in the same   or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Company or any Subsidiary is   engaged or proposes to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with the Company or any   Subsidiary, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to   the Company or its equity holders or to any Subsidiary of the Company for breach of any   fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such   activities.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby renounces any interest   or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential matter,   transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, developed or created by an Identified   Person which may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Company or any   Subsidiary (a “Relevant Corporate Opportunity”), except as provided in Section 3.4(b).

To the fullest extent permitted by   law, the Company hereby waives any claim against any Identified Person, and agrees to   indemnify all Identified Persons against any claim, that is based on fiduciary duties, the   corporate opportunity doctrine or any other legal theory which could in any way limit any   Identified Person from pursuing or engaging in any Relevant Corporate Opportunity.   (b) The Company does not renounce its interest in any Relevant Corporate   Opportunity presented to any Holder if such Relevant Corporate Opportunity is expressly   presented to such person solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of the   Company, and the provisions of Section 3.4(a) shall not apply to any such Relevant Corporate   Opportunity.

Any such Person shall, therefore, be entitled to   injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, and if any action   should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the   parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

SECTION 4.13. Severability.

APPENDIX A   “Affiliate” An “affiliate” of, or person “affiliated” with, a specified person, is a   person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled   by, or is under common control with, the person specified.   “Beneficial Ownership” For purposes of this questionnaire, a beneficial owner   of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement,   understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares:   (1) voting power (which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of,   such security); and/or   (2) investment power (which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the   disposition, of such security).   In addition, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of a security if that person has the   right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security at any time within 60 days, including, but   not limited to, any right to acquire such security: (i) through the exercise of any option, warrant   or right, (ii) through the conversion of a security, (iii) pursuant to the power to revoke a trust,   discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (iv) pursuant to the automatic termination of a   trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.   Securities owned beneficially by you include not only securities held by you for   your own benefit, whether in bearer form or registered in your own name or otherwise, but also   securities held by others as to which you have or share voting power or investment power   (regardless of how the securities are registered) such as, for example, securities held for you by   custodians, brokers or pledgees. Securities owned by an entity that you control are within   your power to vote and invest and are thus considered beneficially owned by you despite   the separate legal personality of such entity.   Where by virtue of a special relationship, whether of a family or a business   nature, you have substantial influence over the decisions of another person in investing or voting   his or her securities, securities owned by that person would be considered beneficially owned by   you. Thus, for example, securities owned by all persons related to you by blood, marriage or   adoption or by other persons who share your home would be considered beneficially owned by   you absent a clear history of independent decision-making in their investment and voting of the   securities.   In addition, securities held by you solely for the benefit of another person, for   example, as nominee, trustee or executor, are considered beneficially owned by you if you have   or share voting power or investment power with respect to such securities.   The power to vote or invest securities need not be currently exercisable to confer   beneficial ownership. The fact that securities are held for you in trust or in a discretionary   account removes them from your control; but if you have the power to terminate the relationship   and regain control of the securities at will or within 60 days, they are considered to be subject to    

 

your power and hence beneficially owned by you. The same applies to securities which you can   acquire by option or other rights exercisable within 60 days.   “Broker” The term “broker” means any person engaged in the business of   effecting transactions in securities for the account of others   “Dealer” The term “dealer” means any person engaged in the business of buying   and selling securities for such person's own account through a broker or otherwise.   “Control” The term “control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by”   and “under common control with”) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to   direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the   ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.   “Material” When used to qualify a requirement for the furnishing of information   as to any subject, limits the information required to those matters to which an average prudent   investor would attach importance in determining whether to buy or sell the security registered.   “Predecessor” The term “predecessor” means a person the major portion of the   business and assets of which another person acquired in a single transaction, or in a series of   related transactions in each of which the acquiring person acquired the major portion of the   business and assets of the acquired person.   9602801a93014exhibit1031

CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition   shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.   2.AMENDMENT OF SECTION 4.02. Section 4.02 is hereby deleted in its   entirety and replaced with the following:   SECTION 4.02. Reports and Other Information. (a) At any time that   the Company is subject to (or is voluntarily filing the reports that would be required if the   Company were subject to) the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the   Exchange Act and there are Securities outstanding:   (1) The Company shall file with the SEC (to the extent the SEC will accept   such filings) and will provide the Trustee and Holders with such annual reports and such   information, documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the   Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. corporation subject to such Sections, such   information, documents and other reports to be so filed and provided at the times   specified for the filings of such information, documents and other reports under such   Sections and containing all the information, audit reports and exhibits required for such   reports.   (2) If the SEC will not accept such filings for any reason, the Company shall   post the reports specified in the preceding sentence on its website, in addition to   providing such information to the Trustee and the Holders, within the time periods that   would apply if the SEC would accept those reports.   (b) At any time that the Company is not subject to (and is not voluntarily   filing the reports that would be required if the Company were subject to) the reporting   requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and there are Securities outstanding:   (1) The Company will prepare:   (A) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, audited year-end   consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including a   balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows) prepared in   accordance with GAAP, together with a report on the annual financial statements by the   Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and a “Management’s   Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”;   (B) within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters   of each fiscal year, unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements of the Company   and its Subsidiaries (including a balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of   cash flows) prepared in accordance with GAAP and a “Management’s Discussion and    

 

3   Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” subject to normal year-end   adjustments and, in the case of the second and third fiscal quarters, the period from the   beginning of such fiscal year to the end of such fiscal quarter; and   (C) within 15 Business Days after the occurrence of an event that   would have been required to be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K if the   Company would have been required to file such reports under the Exchange Act, current   reports containing substantially the same information required to be filed in a Current   Report on Form 8-K pursuant to Items 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 2.01, 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 3.03, 4.01,   4.02, 5.01 and 5.02(b) and 5.02(c) (other than with respect to information otherwise   required or contemplated by Item 402 of Regulation S-K), in each case as in effect on the   Issue Date; provided, however, that no such report will be required (x) to include any   exhibit, or (y) to include a summary of the terms of, any employment or compensatory   arrangement agreement, plan or understanding between the Company (or any of its direct   or indirect parents or subsidiaries) and any director, manager or executive officer, of the   Company (or any of its direct or indirect parents or subsidiaries).   (2) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required (1)   to comply with Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Item   10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC (with respect to any non-GAAP   financial measures contained therein), in each case as in effect on the Issue Date, (2) to   provide separate financial information for (i) non-Wholly Owned subsidiaries that may   otherwise be required by Regulation S-X, (ii) Subsidiary Guarantors that may otherwise   be required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, (iii) Subsidiaries whose securities are   pledged to secure the Securities that may otherwise be required by Rule 3-16 of   Regulation S-X, (3) to comply with any requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated by   the SEC to the extent such requirements were not complied with in the final prospectus of   the Company dated August 11, 2014 filed pursuant to Rule 424 with the SEC on August   14, 2014 or to otherwise provide any disclosure with respect to the results of operations   or any other financial or statistical disclosure not of a type included in such Prospectus or   (4) to provide financial statements in interactive data format using the eXtensible   Business Reporting Language.   (3) The Company will make available such information and such reports to   the Trustee under this Indenture, to any Holder of the Securities and to any beneficial   owner of the Securities, in each case by posting such information on any password-   protected online data system, and will make such information readily available on any   password-protected online data system to the Trustee, any holder of Securities, any   beneficial owner of Securities, any bona fide prospective investor, any securities analyst   or any market maker in the Securities (“Permitted Parties”) upon certification to the   Company as provided in Section 4.02(4) hereof. Any such password-protected online   data system may, at the Company’s option, require a confidentiality acknowledgement in   order to access the information and reports contained thereon. The Trustee shall have no   responsibility or obligation whatsoever to determine if any such posting has occurred or   for the content of such reports.    

 

4   (4) Any person who requests or accesses such financial information will be   required to certify to the Company (to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction) that:   (A) it is a Permitted Party;   (B) it will not use the information in violation of applicable securities   laws or regulations;   (C) it will keep such provided information confidential and will not   communicate the information to any Person; and   (D) it is not a Person (which includes such Person’s Affiliates) that (i)   is principally engaged in a Related Business, (ii) derives a significant portion of its   revenues from operation of a Related Business or (iii) is a competitor of or other person   who transacts business or plans to transact business with the Company or any of its   Subsidiaries.   (5) To the extent any such information is not so furnished within the time   periods specified in Section 4.02(a) hereof and such information is subsequently   furnished, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect   thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been   cured; provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of the Holders under   Article VI if Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then total outstanding   Securities have declared the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary   obligations on all the then outstanding Securities to be due and payable immediately and   such declaration shall not have been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.   (6) To the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, the Company agrees that, for   so long as any Securities are outstanding, it will furnish to Holders and to securities   analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be   delivered pursuant to Rule 144 A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.   (7) In the event that any direct or indirect parent of the Company guarantees   the Securities (which shall be permitted, subject to compliance with this Indenture, at any   time, at the Company’s sole discretion), this Indenture will permit the Company to satisfy   its obligations under this Section 4.02 with respect to financial information relating to the   Company by furnishing financial information relating to such parent; provided that, if   material, the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in   reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the   one hand, and the information relating to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries on   a standalone basis, on the other hand. Such parent shall not be considered a Guarantor by   virtue of providing such guarantee, which may be released at any time. The obligations   under this Section 4.02 may be satisfied by having the applicable reporting entity file   reports with the SEC containing the information contemplated hereunder within the   timeframes contemplated hereunder.   (8) While the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company is in   registration with respect to an initial public offering, the Company or any direct or    

 

5   indirect parent of the Company shall not be required to disclose any information or take   any actions which, in the view of the Company, would violate the securities laws or the   SEC’s “gun jumping” rules.   (c) Whether or not the Company is subject to (or whether or not the Company   is voluntarily filing the reports that would be required if the Company were subject to) the   reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act:   (1) At any time that any of the Company’s Subsidiaries are Unrestricted   Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the   preceding paragraph shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of   the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and   Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition   and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from   the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the   Company.   (2) In addition, the Company shall furnish to the Holders of Private Exchange   Securities and to prospective investors, upon the requests of such Holders, any   information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities   Act so long as the Private Exchange Securities are not freely transferable under the   Securities Act. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA   § 314(a).   (3) If the Company lists any of the Securities for trading on any national   securities exchange, the Company shall notify the Trustee of such listing.   3. EFFECT AND OPERATION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. This   Supplemental Indenture shall be effective and binding immediately upon its execution by the   Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and thereupon this   Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every Note and   Guarantee heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall be bound   hereby.   4. INDENTURE AND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE CONSTRUED   TOGETHER. This Supplemental Indenture is an indenture supplemental to, and in   implementation of, the Indenture, and the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture shall   henceforth be read and construed together.   5.

NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, manager, officer,   employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantors or any of    

 

6   their direct or indirect parents shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any   Subsidiary Guarantors under the Securities, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim   based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by   accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the   consideration for issuance of the Securities.   7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE   OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS   SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.   8. SEPARABILITY. In case any provision in this Supplemental Indenture, the   Indenture as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, or in the Securities shall be invalid,   illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall   not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.   9.
