first two appraisers. The decision of the third appraiser so appointed and chosen shall be given
within 30 days after the selection of such third appraiser. If three appraisers shall be

thereof, it may object in writing to the Board of Directors calculation of fair market value
within 10 days of receipt of written notice thereof. If the Original Warrantholder and the

applicable laws and regulations, the right to purchase the Shares represented by this Warrant is
exercisable, in whole or in part by the Warrantholder, at any time or from time to time after

later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the tenth anniversary of the Issue Date (the
Expiration Time), by (A) the surrender of this Warrant and Notice of Exercise annexed hereto,
duly completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, at the principal executive office of

or
(ii) with the consent of both the Company and the Warrantholder, by tendering in cash, by

be entitled to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding
three business days, a new warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that
number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant
and the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised. Notwithstanding anything in
this Warrant to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its exercise
of this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition that the Warrantholder will have first
received any applicable Regulatory Approvals.
4. Issuance of Shares; Authorization; Listing. Certificates for Shares issued upon
exercise of this Warrant will be issued in such name or names as the Warrantholder may designate
and will be delivered to such named Person or Persons within a reasonable time, not to exceed
three business days after the date on which this Warrant has been duly exercised in accordance
with the terms of this Warrant. The Company hereby represents and warrants that any Shares
issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 will be
duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder, income and
franchise taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes in respect of
any transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith). The Company agrees that the Shares so
issued will be deemed to have been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on
the date on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the Company in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the
Company may then be closed or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually
delivered on such date. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of
this Warrant, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant at any time. The Company will (A) procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time, subject to issuance or notice of
issuance, on all principal stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded
and (B) maintain such listings of such Shares at all times after issuance. The Company will use
reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without violation of any
applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the
Shares are listed or traded.
5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing
fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional
Share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, the Warrantholder shall be
entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last
trading day preceding the date of exercise less the pro-rated Exercise Price for such fractional
share.
6. No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. This Warrant does not entitle the
Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the
date of exercise hereof. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against transfer
of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
6
7. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Shares to the
Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the
Warrantholder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the
issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.
8. Transfer/Assignment.
(A) Subject to compliance with clause (B) of this Section 8, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books of the Company by the registered
holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a new warrant shall be made and
delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name
of one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the office or
agency of the Company described in Section 3. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and
other charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new
warrants pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid by the Company.
(B) The transfer of the Warrant and the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant are
subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.4 of the Purchase Agreement. If and for so
long as required by the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant shall contain the legends as set forth
in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement.
9. Exchange and Registry of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the
surrender hereof by the Warrantholder to the Company, for a new warrant or warrants of like
tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares. The
Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the Warrantholder as the
registered holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise in
accordance with its terms, at the office of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to
rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.
10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond,
indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall make and deliver,
in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and
representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares as provided for in such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.
11. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking
of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a business
day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day
that is a business day.
12. Rule 144 Information. The Company covenants that it will use its reasonable
best efforts to timely file all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC
thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any
7
Warrantholder, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will use reasonable best efforts to take such further
action as any Warrantholder may reasonably request, in each case to the extent required from
time to time to enable such holder to, if permitted by the terms of this Warrant and the
Purchase Agreement, sell this Warrant without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may
be amended from time to time, or (B) any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
SEC. Upon the written request of any Warrantholder, the Company will deliver to such
Warrantholder a written statement that it has complied with such requirements.
13. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 13 is applicable to a single
event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event
shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 13 so as to result in
duplication:
(A) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company
shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the
time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the
Warrantholder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock
which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of
Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately
prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date
for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the
number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date, as the case may be,
for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification giving rise to this
adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant determined
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(B) Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities. Until the earlier
of (i) the date on which the Original Warrantholder no longer holds this Warrant or any portion
thereof and (ii) the third anniversary of the Issue Date, if the Company shall issue shares of
Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or
exchangeable (collectively, a conversion) for shares of Common Stock) (collectively,
convertible securities) (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below) or a
transaction to which subsection (A) of this Section 13 is applicable) without consideration or
at a consideration per share (or having a conversion price per share) that is less than 90% of
the Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such
shares (or such convertible securities) then, in such event:
8
(A) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such shares (or of such
convertible securities) (the Initial Number) shall be increased to the number
obtained by multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction (A) the numerator of
which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
outstanding on such date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock
issued (or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) and (B)
the denominator of which shall be the sum of (I) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on such date and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock
which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the total number
of shares of Common Stock so issued (or into which convertible securities may be
exercised or convert) would purchase at the Market Price on the last trading day
preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such shares (or such convertible
securities); and
(B) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of the
agreement on pricing of such shares (or of such convertible securities) by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to such date and the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant immediately after the adjustment described in clause (A) above.
For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company in
connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or convertible securities shall be
deemed to be equal to the sum of the net offering price (including the Fair Market Value of any
non-cash consideration and after deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties) of
all such securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise or
conversion of any such convertible securities into shares of Common
Stock; and Permitted
Transactions shall mean issuances (i) as consideration for or to fund the acquisition of
businesses and/or related assets, (ii) in connection with employee benefit plans and
compensation related arrangements in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice
approved by the Board of Directors, (iii) in connection with a public or broadly marketed
offering and sale of Common Stock or convertible securities for cash conducted by the Company or
its affiliates pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or Rule 144A thereunder on a
basis consistent with capital raising transactions by comparable financial institutions and (iv)
in connection with the exercise of preemptive rights on terms existing as of the Issue Date. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13(B) shall become effective immediately upon the date
of such issuance.
(C) Other Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making
of a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of
indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends, dividends of
its Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 13(A)), in each
such case, the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately
thereafter to the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior
to the reduction by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading
day preceding the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal
9
national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without
the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of
the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in
respect of one share of Common Stock (such amount and/or Fair Market
Value, the Per Share Fair
Market Value) divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the
number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number
obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
the distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash
dividend that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share Fair
Market Value would be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the cash dividend that
would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the event that such distribution is not so made,
the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in
effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not
to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the
case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that
would then
be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.
(D) Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata
Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro
Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the
Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first
public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro
Rata Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of
which the denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common
Stock so repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of
the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by
dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata
Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance
with the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to the Exercise
Price or decrease in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made
pursuant to this Section 13(D).
(E) Business Combinations. In case of any Business Combination or reclassification
of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 13(A)),
the Warrantholders right to receive Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted
into the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such
Business Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such
10
Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation
of such Business Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the
provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the
Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may
reasonably be, to the Warrantholders right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares
of stock or other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and
amount of stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following
the consummation of such Business Combination, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to
elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business
Combination, then the consideration that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon
exercise shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the majority
of all holders of the shares of common stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such
holders if none make an election).
(F) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this
Section 13 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest
one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 13 to the
contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into
which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less
than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be
carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together
with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts
so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more.
(G) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any
case in which the provisions of this Section 13 shall require that an adjustment shall become
effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the
occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such
record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment
and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common
Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a
due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholders right to receive such
additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(H) Completion of Qualified Equity Offering. In the event the Company (or any
successor by Business Combination) completes one or more Qualified Equity Offerings on or
prior to December 31, 2009 that result in the Company (or any such successor) receiving
aggregate gross proceeds of not less than 100% of the aggregate liquidation preference of the
Preferred Shares (and any preferred stock issued by any such successor to the Original
Warrantholder under the CPP), the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of
this Warrant then held by the Original Warrantholder shall be thereafter reduced by a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) 0.5 and (ii) the number of shares underlying
11
the Warrant on the Issue Date (adjusted to take into account all other theretofore made
adjustments pursuant to this Section 13).
(I) Other Events. For so long as the Original Warrantholder holds this Warrant or
any portion thereof, if any event occurs as to which the provisions of this Section 13 are not
strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Company, fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the
Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the
Board of Directors shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with
such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith
opinion of the Board of Directors, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. The Exercise
Price or the number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall not be adjusted in
the event of a change in the par value of the Common Stock or a change in the jurisdiction of
incorporation of the Company.
(J) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of
Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 13, the
Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in
reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in
effect and the number of Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such
adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first
class postage prepaid, to each Warrantholder at the address appearing in the Companys records.
(K) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Company shall propose to take
any action of the type described in this Section 13 (but only if the action of the type
described in this Section 13 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number
of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or
property to be delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Company shall give notice to the
Warrantholder, in the manner set forth in Section 13(J), which notice shall specify the record
date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is
to take place. Such notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be
reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class
of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this
Warrant. In the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice
shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action,
such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed action. Failure
to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any
such action.
(L) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent
to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13, the
Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, New York
Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market or other applicable national securities exchange or
stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and
legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock that the Warrantholder
is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 13.
12
(M) Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 13 shall be made
successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise
Price made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common
Stock, then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to
the par value of the Common Stock.
14. Exchange. At any time following the date on which the shares of Common Stock of
the Company are no longer listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange (other
than in connection with any Business Combination), the Original Warrantholder may cause the
Company to exchange all or a portion of this Warrant for an economic interest (to be determined
by the Original Warrantholder after consultation with the Company) of the Company classified as
permanent equity under U.S. GAAP having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of the portion of
the Warrant so exchanged. The Original Warrantholder shall calculate any Fair Market Value
required to be calculated pursuant to this Section 14, which shall not be subject to the
Appraisal Procedure.
15. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times
in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in taking of
all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the
Warrantholder.
16. Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the federal law of the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and
otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and
to be performed entirely within such State. Each of the Company and the Warrantholder agrees (a)
to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia for any civil action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) that notice may be served upon the
Company at the address in Section 20 below and upon the Warrantholder at the address for the
Warrantholder set forth in the registry maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 9 hereof.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and the Warrantholder hereby
unconditionally waives trial by jury in any civil legal action or proceeding relating to the
Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
17. Binding Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of
the Company.
18. Amendments. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this
Warrant may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Warrantholder.
19. Prohibited Actions. The Company agrees that it will not take any action which
would entitle the Warrantholder to an adjustment of the Exercise Price if the total number of
shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of this Warrant, together with
13
all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon
the exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, conversion and other rights, would exceed the
total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by its Charter.
20. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given
hereunder by any party to the other will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly
given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by facsimile, upon confirmation of
receipt, or (b) on the second business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a
recognized next day courier service. All notices hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in
Item 8 of Schedule A hereto, or pursuant to such other instructions as may be designated in
writing by the party to receive such notice.
21. Entire Agreement. This Warrant, the forms attached hereto and Schedule A hereto
(the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein), and the Letter Agreement (including
all documents incorporated therein), contain the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements or
undertakings with respect thereto.
