(c) Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In the case of any (each, a Triggering Event): (i) consolidation with or merger into any other entity in which the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) consolidation with or merger into the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving entity but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, the capital stock of the
3
Company shall be changed into or exchanged for securities of any other entity or cash or any other property, or (iii) transfer of all or substantially all of the Companys properties or assets to any other person or entity, or (iv) purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer pursuant to which holders of Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other shares of stock, securities or assets and such offer has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, then, as a condition to such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event but prior to the Expiration Date, and to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Strike Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event (subject to adjustments (subsequent to such Triggering Event) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 8), in lieu of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the highest amount of such securities, cash and/or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (which shall be in the same form of consideration and proportion of securities and other property as the holders of Shares are to receive in such Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such Triggering Event) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 8. The Company shall not effect any such Triggering Event unless prior to or simultaneously with the completion thereof the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such Triggering Event shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holders, at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company, such securities, cash and/or property, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, to which the Holder may be entitled to purchase. The provisions of this clause (b) shall similarly apply to successive Triggering Events.
(d) Extraordinary Distributions. Except as specifically provided for in Section 8(c) above, if the Company shall distribute to all holders of its Shares: (i) any shares of capital stock of the Company, evidence of indebtedness, or other securities or rights convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company (but excluding Ordinary Dividends) without receiving payment of any consideration in exchange therefor, or (ii) cash (but excluding Ordinary Dividends), then, in each such case:
(i) the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive such distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Strike Price by a fraction
(x) the numerator of which shall be the Fair Value of a Share in effect on such record date or, if the Shares trade on an ex-distribution basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-distribution trading, less the Fair Value of such distribution applicable to one Share, and
(y) the denominator of which shall be the Fair Value of a Share in effect on such record date or, if the Shares trade on an ex-distribution basis, on the date prior to the commencement of ex-distribution trading;
and
4
(ii) this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to receive, at the adjusted Strike Price, that number of Shares (calculated to the nearest Share) obtained by dividing:
(x) the product of the aggregate number of Shares covered by this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Strike Price by,
(y) the Strike Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Strike Price.
As used in this Warrant, Ordinary Dividends shall mean all quarterly dividends whether paid in cash, shares of capital stock of the Company or other securities, or any combination of the foregoing, except extraordinary or special dividends.
(e) Issuances of Additional Shares. In the event the Company, at any time or from time to time, on or after the Commencement Date shall issue or sell additional Shares for consideration per share less than the then Current Trading Price (Additional Shares), then the Strike Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue or sale, to a price determined by multiplying such Strike Price by a fraction:
(i) The numerator of which is the sum of (x) the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus (y) the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of options or warrants or conversion of convertible securities outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale, plus (z) the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of such Additional Shares would purchase the then Current Trading Price; and
(ii) The denominator of which is the sum of (x) the number of Shares outstanding immediately after such issuance or sale plus (y) the number of Shares included in the numerator pursuant to clause (y) of Section 8.6(e)(i).
Upon any and each adjustment of the Strike Price as provided above in this clause (e), this Warrant shall thereafter evidence the right to receive, at the adjusted Strike Price the number of Shares (calculated to the nearest Shares) obtained by dividing:
(i) the product of the aggregate number of Shares covered by this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the Strike Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Strike Price by
(ii) the Strike Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Strike Price.
As used herein Current Trading Price shall mean, the volume-weighted average closing price of the Shares for the five trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the date of the applicable issuance or sale .
5
(f) Computation of Consideration. For the purposes of this Section 8, the consideration for the issue or sale of Additional Shares, shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such consideration:
(i) Insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the amount of cash received by the Company net of any expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any commissions or compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in connection with such issue or sale;
(ii) Insofar as it consists of property (including securities) other than cash received by the Company, be computed at the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, or a committee thereof in good faith) immediately prior to the announcement of such issue or sale;
and
(iii) In the event Additional Shares are issued or sold together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, be the portion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, allocable to such Additional Shares, all as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, or a committee thereof).
(g) Minimum Adjustment of Strike Price. If the amount of any adjustment of the Exercise Price required pursuant to this Section 8 would be less than $0.01, then such amount shall be carried forward and adjustment shall be made with respect thereto at the time and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate at least $0.01.
(h) Inapplicability of this Section 8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8, the Strike Price shall not be adjusted for:
(i) Issuances or sales of Shares or other securities under any of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any of its affiliates;
(ii) Issuances or sales of Shares or other securities pursuant to plans of the Company for reinvestment of dividends;
(iii) Issuances or sales of securities by Prologis, L.P. or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, whether or not such securities are redeemable for, or convertible into, Shares or any other security of the Company;
(iv) Issuances or sales of Shares or other securities under arrangements in existence on the Commencement Date that have been disclosed in the Companys annual, quarterly and periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and
(v) Public offerings for cash.
9. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Strike Price or number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Company shall promptly execute and deliver to the Holder a certificate signed by the Companys chief executive officer or chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Strike Price and number of shares purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.
