|
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
On September 2, 2011, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2011 (the
Investment Agreement), by and among Jacobs Private Equity, LLC (JPE), the other
investors party thereto (including by joinders thereto) (collectively with JPE, the
Investors) and XPO Logistics, Inc. (formerly Express-1 Expedited Solutions, Inc.), a
Delaware corporation (the Company), the Company issued to the Investors, for $75,000,000
in cash: (i) an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock of the
Company, par value $0.001 per share (the Preferred Stock), which are initially
convertible into an aggregate of 10,714,286 shares of Company common stock, and (ii) warrants
initially exercisable for an aggregate of 10,714,286 shares of Company common stock at an initial
exercise price of $7.00 per share (the Warrants, and together with the Preferred Stock,
the Securities). We refer to this investment as the Equity Investment.
The Preferred Stock
The Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for an
aggregate initial liquidation preference of $75,000,000. The Preferred Stock is convertible at any
time, in whole or in part and from time to time, at the option of the holder thereof into a number
of shares of Company common stock equal to the then-applicable liquidation preference divided by
the conversion price, which initially is $7.00 per share of Company common stock (subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments), for an effective initial aggregate conversion rate of
10,714,286 shares of Company common stock. The Preferred Stock will pay quarterly cash dividends
equal to the greater of (i) the as-converted dividends on the underlying Company common stock for
the relevant quarter and (ii) 4% of the then-applicable liquidation preference per annum. Accrued
and unpaid dividends for any quarter will accrete to liquidation preference for all purposes. The
Preferred Stock is not redeemable or subject to any required offer to purchase, and votes together
with the Company common stock on an as-converted basis on all matters, except as otherwise
required by law, and separately as a class with respect to certain matters implicating the rights
of holders of shares of Preferred Stock.
The description of the Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The Warrants
Each Warrant will initially be exercisable at any time and from time to time from the closing
date until September 2, 2021, at the option of the holder thereof, into one share of Company common
stock at an initial exercise price of $7.00 in cash per share of Company common stock (subject to
customary anti-dilution adjustments). The initial aggregate number shares of Company common stock
subject to Warrants is 10,714,286 shares.
The description of the Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of
Warrant Certificate, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated by
reference herein.
The Securities described above were sold to the Investors in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act),
pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, as an offering not involving any public offering.
Registration Rights Agreement
At the closing of the Equity Investment on September 2, 2011, the Company entered
into a Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) with the
Investors party thereto, which provides the holders from time to time of the Securities with
certain rights to cause the Company to register the sale of shares of
1
Preferred Stock, Warrants and shares of Company common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants, in each case other than any such securities
that are then freely transferable without registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act without limitation as to volume, manner of sale or other restrictions under Rule 144. We refer
to the securities that are subject to registration under the Registration Rights Agreement as
provided above as Registrable Securities.
At any time on or after the closing of the Equity Investment, holders of Registrable
Securities representing no less than a majority of the Company common stock constituting
Registrable Securities or issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock or exercise of Warrants
constituting Registrable Securities may request registration of the sale of such securities by
giving the Company written notice thereof. Such majority holders may request a total of three
demand registrations.
If the Company registers its securities on a registration statement that permits the inclusion
of the Registrable Securities, the Company must give JPE prompt written notice thereof (subject to
certain exceptions). The Company must then include on such registration statement all Registrable
Securities requested to be included therein (subject to certain exceptions).
Subject to certain exceptions, all expenses incurred in connection with the registration or
sale of the Registrable Securities will be borne by the Company.
The description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3 and is
incorporated by reference herein.

Changes in Control of Registrant. |
On September 2, 2011, as part of the Equity Investment described in Item 3.02 above, the
Company issued to JPE, for $67,500,000 in cash, (i) 67,500 shares of Preferred Stock, which are
initially convertible into an aggregate of 9,642,857 shares of Company common stock, and (ii)
9,642,857 Warrants initially exercisable for an aggregate of 9,642,857 shares of Company common
stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, which resulted in a change of control of the
Company. As of August 31, 2011, the day before the special meeting of the stockholders of the
Company to vote on the Equity Investment and the other transactions contemplated by the Investment
Agreement, there were 33,011,561 shares of Company common stock outstanding, plus outstanding
options to purchase an additional 3,267,750 shares of Company common stock. Based upon the number
of shares of Company common stock outstanding as of August 31, 2011, as adjusted for a 4-for-1
reverse stock split effected on September 2, 2011 (resulting in a total of 8,252,890 shares of
Company common stock outstanding), JPE has acquired in the aggregate approximately 50.8% of the
total voting power of the Companys capital stock before giving effect to the exercise of any
Warrants, and approximately 65.0% of the total voting power of the Companys capital stock after
giving effect to the exercise of all of the Warrants.
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, JPE will be entitled to nominate for election to the
Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) in connection with each meeting of
stockholders at which directors are to be elected (i) a majority of the directors on the Board, for
so long as JPE controls at least 33% of the total voting power of the capital stock of the Company
on a fully-diluted basis or (ii) 25% of the directors on the Board, for so long as JPE controls at
least 20% (but less than 33%) of the total voting power of the capital stock of the Company on a
fully-diluted basis.

Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon the liquidation,
winding-up or dissolution of the Company (collectively referred to as Junior Stock); (ii)
pari passu with each class or series of stock of the Company (including any series
of preferred stock established after the Issue Date by the Board of Directors) the terms of which
expressly provide that such class or
series ranks pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock as to payment of
dividends and distribution of assets upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company
(collectively referred to as Parity Stock); and (iii) junior to each other class or
series of stock of the Company (including any series of preferred stock established after the Issue
Date by the Board of Directors) the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series
ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets
upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company (collectively referred to as
Senior Stock). The Companys ability to issue Capital Stock that ranks pari
passu with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 4.
Section 2. Dividends. (a) General. Dividends on the Series A Preferred
Stock shall be payable quarterly, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors or a duly
authorized committee thereof, out of the assets of the Company legally available therefor, on the
15th calendar day (or the following Business Day if the 15th is not a
Business Day) of January, April, July and October of each year (each such date being referred to
herein as a Dividend Payment Date) at the rate per annum of 4% per share on the Accreted
Liquidation Preference in effect at such time (subject to the following paragraph), which Accreted
Liquidation Preference is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15(a). The initial dividend
on the Series A Preferred Stock for the dividend period commencing on the Issue Date to but
excluding October 17, 2011, will be $5.00 per share (subject to the following paragraph), and shall
be payable, when, as and if declared, on October 17, 2011. The amount of dividends payable for any
other period that is shorter or longer than a full quarterly dividend period will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
In the event that dividends are paid on shares of Common Stock in any dividend period with
respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, then the dividend payable in respect of each share of
Series A Preferred Stock for such period shall be equal to the greater of (i) the amount otherwise
payable in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the foregoing
paragraph and (ii) the product of (A) the aggregate dividends payable per share of Common Stock in
such dividend period times (B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series
A Preferred Stock is then convertible.
A dividend period with respect to a Dividend Payment Date is the period commencing on the
preceding Dividend Payment Date or, if none, the Issue Date, and ending on the day immediately
prior to the next Dividend Payment Date. Dividends payable, when, as and if declared, on a
Dividend Payment Date shall be payable to Holders of record on the later of (i) the close of
business on the first calendar day (or the following Business Day if such first calendar day is not
a Business Day) of the calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls and (ii)
the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee
thereof declares the dividend payable (each, a Dividend Record Date).
The Company shall make each dividend payment on the Series A Preferred Stock in cash.
2
Holders shall not be entitled to any dividend in excess of the then-applicable full accrued
dividends calculated pursuant to this Section 2(a) on shares of Series A Preferred Stock. No
interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any dividend or payment
which may be in arrears. All references in this Certificate of Designation to dividends or to a
dividend rate or accretion rate shall be deemed to reflect any adjustment to the dividend rate or
accretion rate pursuant to this Certificate of Designation.
(b) Payment Restrictions. No dividends or other distributions (other than a dividend
or distribution payable solely in shares of Parity Stock or Junior Stock (in the case of Parity
Stock) or Junior Stock (in the case of Junior Stock) and other than cash paid in lieu of fractional
shares) may be declared, made or paid, or set apart for payment upon, any Parity Stock or Junior
Stock, nor may any Parity Stock or Junior Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for
any consideration (or any money paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of
any Parity Stock or Junior Stock) by or on behalf of the Company (except by conversion into or
exchange for shares of Parity Stock or Junior Stock (in the case of Parity Stock) or Junior Stock
(in the case of Junior Stock)), unless all accrued and unpaid dividends (including any accrued and
unpaid dividends that have accreted pursuant to Section 2(c) and are reflected in the Accreted
Liquidation Preference) shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid, or are declared
and a sum of cash sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment, on the Series A
Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock for all dividend payment periods terminating on or prior to
the date of such declaration, payment, redemption, purchase or acquisition. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if full dividends have not been paid on the Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity
Stock, dividends may be declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock so
long as the dividends are declared and paid pro rata so that the aggregate amounts
of dividends declared per share on, and the amounts of such dividends declared in cash per share
on, the Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock will in all cases bear to each other the
same ratio that accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
and such other Parity Stock bear to each other.
(c) Accretion. If the Company is unable to, or otherwise fails to, pay dividends in
full on the Series A Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date as described above in Section
2(a), the Accreted Liquidation Preference will be increased as of the first day of the immediately
succeeding dividend period by the Accretion Amount in respect of the unpaid dividends. If the
Company pays a portion of the dividends payable on the Series A Preferred Stock on a Dividend
Payment Date and accretes the unpaid portion, the Company will pay the current portion equally and
ratably to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. The amount of dividends payable for any dividend
period following a non-payment of dividends will be calculated on the basis of the Accreted
Liquidation Preference as of the first day of the relevant dividend period.
The Company may pay all or a portion of the amount by which the Accreted Liquidation
Preference of a share of Series A Preferred Stock exceeds the Initial Liquidation Preference of a
share of Series A Preferred Stock on (i) any Dividend Payment Date or (ii) any other date fixed by
the Board of Directors or a duly authorized
3
committee thereof. The Company shall make any such payment in cash and any such payment shall
be made equally and ratably to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. The Accreted Liquidation
Preference of each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be reduced as of the first day following
the date of such payment by the amount of such payment (the Paydown Amount) and the
amount of dividends will be calculated on the basis of the reduced Accreted Liquidation Preference
for the period of time from the date of such reduction until the applicable Dividend Payment Date.
The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to provide notice to Holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock not later than ten days prior to each Dividend Payment Date if the Company
determines that it will not pay dividends on that Dividend Payment Date. Such notice shall be
given by issuing a press release in accordance with Section 10(a) and by notifying the Transfer
Agent. If a development occurs less than ten days prior to a Dividend Payment Date that will
prevent the Company from paying dividends on that Dividend Payment Date, and the Company has not
already provided notice, the Company will provide prompt notice to the Holders and the Transfer
Agent as set forth above. The notice will indicate whether the Company will accrete all or a
portion of the dividends, as well as the amount of the dividends to be accreted. Any failure by
the Company to deliver such notice will not impair the Companys ability to accrete dividends in
any respect.
Section 3. Liquidation Preference. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, each Holder shall be entitled to receive out
of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders of the Company, before any
distribution of assets is made on the Common Stock or any other Junior Stock, an amount equal to
the greater of (i) the aggregate Accreted Liquidation Preference attributable to shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held by such Holder, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15(a), plus an
amount equal to the sum of all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) for the
then-current dividend period, and (ii) the product of (x) the amount per share that would have been
payable upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up to the holders of shares of Common Stock
or such other class or series of securities into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then
convertible (assuming the conversion of each share of Series A Preferred Stock and without
deduction for the Accreted Liquidation Preference otherwise payable pursuant to clause (i)),
multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock or such other securities into which the
shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder are then convertible.
None of (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Company
(other than in connection with the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of the Company), (ii) the merger, conversion or consolidation of the Company into or with any other
Person or (iii) the merger, conversion or consolidation of any other Person into or with the
Company, shall constitute a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Company for the purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph.
4
In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to Holders upon any
liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be
insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to this Section
3, no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares of Parity Stock upon such
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up unless proportionate distributable amounts shall be paid on
account of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, ratably, in proportion to the full distributable
amounts for which Holders and holders of any Parity Stock are entitled upon such liquidation,
winding-up or dissolution, with the amount allocable to each series of such stock determined on a
pro rata basis of the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of
each series and accrued and unpaid dividends to which each series is entitled.
After the payment to the Holders of the full preferential amounts provided for above, the
Holders as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company.
Section 4. Voting Rights. (a) The Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to vote along with the holders of Common Stock on all matters on which holders of
Common Stock are entitled to vote. The Holders shall participate in such votes as if the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock were converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with this
Certificate of Designation as of the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to vote. In addition, each Holder shall have one vote for each share of Series A
Preferred Stock held by such Holder on all matters voted upon by the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock as a separate class, as well as voting rights specifically required by the DGCL from time to
time.
(b) So long as any Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, in addition to any other vote of
stockholders of the Company required under applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the
affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class, will be required (i) for any
amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation if the amendment would alter or change the powers,
preferences, privileges or rights of the Holders so as to affect them adversely, (ii) to issue,
authorize or increase the authorized amount of, or issue or authorize any obligation or security
convertible into or evidencing a right to purchase, any Parity Stock or Senior Stock, or (iii) to
reclassify any authorized stock of the Company into any Parity Stock or Senior Stock, or any
obligation or security convertible into or evidencing a right to purchase any Parity Stock or
Senior Stock, provided that, for avoidance of doubt, no such vote shall be required for the
Company to issue, authorize or increase the authorized amount of, or issue or authorize any
obligation or security convertible into or evidencing a right to purchase, any Junior Stock.
Section 5. Conversion at the Option of the Holder. (a) Each share of Series A
Preferred Stock is convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the Holder thereof
(Optional Conversion), into the number of shares of Common Stock (the Conversion
Rate) obtained by dividing (i) the Accreted Liquidation Preference by (ii) the Conversion
Price then in effect.
5
(b) Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock who convert their shares on a day other than
a Dividend Payment Date will not be entitled to any accrued dividends for the dividend period in
which they convert their shares. Accordingly, shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for
Optional Conversion after the close of business on a Dividend Record Date and before the opening of
business on the immediately succeeding Dividend Payment Date must be accompanied by payment in cash
of an amount equal to the dividend payable on such shares on such Dividend Payment Date. Such
Holders will be entitled to receive the dividend payment on those shares on that Dividend Payment
Date. A Holder on a Dividend Record Date who (or whose transferee) surrenders any shares for
conversion on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date shall receive the dividend payable by the
Company on the Series A Preferred Stock on that date (and if the Company fails to pay such
dividend, such Holders shares converted on such date will be converted at a Conversion Rate that
reflects the Accreted Liquidation Preference after giving effect to such failure), and the
converting Holder shall not be required to include payment in the amount of such dividend upon
surrender of shares of Series A Preferred Stock for conversion. Except as provided above, upon any
Optional Conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company shall make no payment or
allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on such shares of Series A Preferred
Stock as to which Optional Conversion has been effected or for dividends on the shares of Common
Stock issued upon such Optional Conversion.
(c) The conversion right of a Holder shall be exercised by the Holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock by the surrender to the Company of the certificates representing shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to be converted at any time during usual business hours at its principal place of
business or the offices of the Transfer Agent, accompanied by written notice to the Company that
the Holder elects to convert all or a portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented
by such certificate and specifying the name or names (with address) in which a certificate or
certificates or other appropriate evidence of ownership representing shares of Common Stock are to
be issued and (if so required by the Company or the Transfer Agent) by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company or the Transfer Agent duly
executed by the Holder or its duly authorized legal representative and transfer tax stamps or funds
therefor, if required pursuant to Section 15(f). The date on which a Holder satisfies the
foregoing requirements for conversion is referred to herein as the Conversion Date. The
Company will deliver shares of Common Stock (or such other class or series of securities into which
the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible) due upon conversion, together with any cash in
lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof, in accordance with Section 6.
Immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, each converting Holder shall be
deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock (or such other class or series of
securities into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible) issuable upon conversion of
such Holders Series A Preferred Stock notwithstanding that the share register of the Company shall
then be closed or that certificates or other appropriate evidence of ownership representing such
Common Stock (or such other class or series of securities into which the Series A Preferred Stock
is then convertible) shall not then be actually delivered to such Holder. On the Conversion Date,
all rights with respect to the
6
shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive
notices, will terminate, except the rights of Holders thereof to (a) receive certificates or other
appropriate evidence of ownership representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock (or such
other class or series of securities into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible)
into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been converted and cash in lieu of any
fractional shares, in accordance with Section 14 hereof and (b) exercise the rights to which they
are entitled as holders of Common Stock (or such other class or series of securities into which the
Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible).
Section 6. Settlement upon Conversion. The Company shall satisfy its obligation to
deliver shares of Common Stock (or such other class or series of securities into which the Series A
Preferred Stock is then convertible) upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock by delivering to
Holders surrendering shares for conversion a number of shares of Common Stock (or such other class
or series of securities into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible) equal to the
product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted
multiplied by (y) the Conversion Rate then in effect (provided that the Company will
deliver cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14), as soon as practicable
after the third Trading Day (but in no event later than the fifth Business Day) following the
Conversion Date.
Section 7. Anti-dilution Adjustments. (a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to
the following adjustments from time to time:
(i) Stock Dividends. In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend
or other distribution on the Common Stock in Common Stock, the Conversion Price, as
in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or
other distribution, shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and
the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of
shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such adjustment to become
effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date
fixed for such determination.
(ii) Stock Purchase Rights. In case the Company shall issue to all
holders of its Common Stock options, warrants or other rights entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock for a period expiring within 60
days from the date of issuance of such options, warrants or other rights at a price
per share of Common Stock less than the Market Value on the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such options,
warrants or other rights (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment, share
purchase or similar plan), the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of
business on the day
7
following the date fixed for such determination shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the
date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which
the aggregate consideration expected to be received by the Company upon the
exercise, conversion or exchange of such options, warrants or other rights (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) would purchase at such Market Value
and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus
the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase,
either directly or indirectly, such adjustment to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such
determination; provided, however, that no such adjustment to the
Conversion Price shall be made if the Holders would be entitled to receive such
options, warrants or other rights upon conversion at any time of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock into Common Stock; provided, further,
however, that if any of the foregoing options, warrants or other rights are
only exercisable upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, then the Conversion
Price will not be adjusted until such Triggering Event occurs.
(iii) Stock Splits, Reverse Splits and Combinations. In case
outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided, split or reclassified into
a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, split
or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and,
conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or
reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price
in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately
increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which
such subdivision, split, reclassification or combination becomes effective.
(iv) Debt, Asset or Security Distributions. (A) In case the Company
shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock
evidences of its indebtedness, assets or securities (but excluding any dividend or
distribution of options, warrants or other rights referred to in paragraph (ii) of
this Section 7(a), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, any
dividend or distribution of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or
similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit in
the case of a Spin-off referred to in the next subparagraph, or any dividend or
distribution
8
referred to in paragraph (i) of this Section 7(a)), the Conversion
Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of
the Company entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Market Value on the date fixed for such determination and the
denominator of which shall be such Market Value plus the fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock,
such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of the
Company entitled to receive such distribution. In any case in which this
subparagraph (iv)(A) is applicable, subparagraph (iv)(B) of this Section 7(a) shall
not be applicable.
(B) In the case of a Spin-off, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for
determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such
distribution shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Market Value and the
denominator of which shall be the Market Value plus the fair market value
(as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of
the portion of those shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests
so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock. Any adjustment to
the Conversion Price under this subparagraph (iv)(B) will occur on the
date that is the earlier of (1) the tenth Trading Day from, and including,
the effective date of the Spin-off and (2) the date of the Initial Public
Offering of the securities being distributed in the Spin-off, if that
Initial Public Offering is effected simultaneously with the Spin-off.
(v) Tender Offers. In the case that a tender or exchange offer made
by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the
Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended through the
expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of the Company (based
on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or
exchange offer) of Purchased Shares) of aggregate consideration having a fair
market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) per share of
Common Stock that exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading
Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made
pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, then, immediately prior to the opening
of business on the day after the date of the last time (the Expiration
Time) tenders or exchanges
9
could have been made pursuant to such tender or
exchange offer (as amended through the expiration thereof), the Conversion Price shall be reduced
by multiplying the Conversion Price immediately prior to the close of business on
the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be
equal to the product of (x) the Market Value on the date of the Expiration Time and
(y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or
exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time, and (B) the denominator of
which shall be equal to (x) the product of (I) the Market Value on the date of the
Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time
less the number of all shares validly tendered or exchanged, not withdrawn and
accepted for payment on the date of the Expiration Time (such validly tendered or
exchanged shares, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the Purchased
Shares) plus (y) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as
aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders of the Company
pursuant to the tender or exchange offer (assuming the acceptance, up to any
maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer, of Purchased
Shares).
(b) De Minimis Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
adjustment under this Section 7 need be made to the Conversion Price unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% of the Conversion Rate then in effect. Any lesser
adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next
subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried
forward, shall result in an increase or decrease of at least 1.0% of such Conversion Rate. No
adjustment under this Section 7 shall be made if such adjustment will result in a Conversion Price
that is less than the par value of the Common Stock. All adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall
be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest
1/10,000th of a share to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share).
(c) Tax-Related Adjustments. The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion
Price, in addition to those required by this Section 7, as the Board of Directors considers
advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock
resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase
or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. In the event the
Company elects to make such a reduction in the Conversion Price, the Company will comply with the
requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations
thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with
the reduction in the Conversion Price.
(d) Stockholder Rights Plans. Upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the
extent that the Holders receive Common Stock, such Holders shall receive, in addition to the shares
of Common Stock and any cash for fractional shares in
10
accordance with Section 14, if any, the
rights issued under any future stockholder rights
plan the Company may establish whether or not such rights are separated from the Common Stock
prior to conversion. A distribution of rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plan will not
result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) or 7(a)(iv),
provided that the Company has provided for the Holders to receive such rights upon
conversion.
(e) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted in accordance
with this Section 7, the Company shall (i) compute the Conversion Price in accordance with this
Section 7 and prepare and transmit to the Transfer Agent an Officers Certificate setting forth the
Conversion Price, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the facts requiring
such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based and (ii) as soon as practicable following
the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this
Section 7 (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming
so aware), the Company or, at the request and expense of the Company, the Transfer Agent shall
provide a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event and a statement setting
forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Price was
determined and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price.
(f) Reversal of Adjustment. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its
Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and
shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to
stockholders) legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then
thereafter no adjustment in the Conversion Price then in effect shall be required by reason of the
taking of such record.
(g) Exceptions to Adjustment. The applicable Conversion Price shall not be adjusted:
(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or
future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the
Companys securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of
Common Stock under any such plan;
(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to
purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or
consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries;
(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option,
warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as
of the Issue Date;
(iv) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock;
11
(v) for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock; or
(vi) for the 4-for-1 reverse stock split consummated on the Issue Date
pursuant to the Investment Agreement dated as of June 13, 2011, by and among Jacobs
Private Equity, LLC, the other investors party thereto (including by joinders
thereto) and the Company.
Section 8. Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes in the Companys Stock.
In the event of any reclassification of outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in
par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than with a Subsidiary of
the Company) or any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the resulting or surviving Person and that does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding Common Stock), or any sale or other disposition to
another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (computed on a consolidated
basis) (any of the foregoing, a Transaction), upon conversion of its shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, a Holder will be entitled to receive the kind and amount of securities (of the
Company or another issuer), cash and other property receivable upon such Transaction by a holder of
the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
convertible immediately prior to such Transaction, after giving effect to any adjustment event or,
in the event holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be
received in any Transaction, the weighted average of the forms and amounts of consideration
received by the holders of the Common Stock. In the event that at any time, as a result of an
adjustment made pursuant to this Certificate of Designation, the Holders shall become entitled upon
conversion to any securities other than, or in addition to, shares of Common Stock, thereafter the
number or amount of such other securities so receivable upon conversion shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to the Common Stock set forth in this Certificate of Designation.
Section 9. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets. (a) The Company, without the
consent of the Holders (but subject, for avoidance of doubt, to the right of the Holders to vote on
any such transaction in accordance with the first two sentences of Section 4(a)), may consolidate
with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its
assets to any Person or may permit any Person to consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or
lease all or substantially all its properties to, the Company; provided, however,
that (i) the successor, transferee or lessee is organized under the laws of the United States or
any political subdivision thereof; (ii) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will become shares
of such successor, transferee or lessee, having in respect of such successor, transferee or lessee
the same powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and the
qualification, limitations or restrictions thereon, the Series A Preferred Stock had immediately
prior to such transaction; and (iii) the Company delivers to the Transfer Agent an Officers
Certificate
12
and an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Transfer Agent, stating that such

thereof set forth herein is invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule
of law or public policy, all other voting powers,

preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of Series A
Preferred Stock and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof set forth herein which can
be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable voting powers, preferences and
relative, participating, optional and other special rights of Series A Preferred Stock and
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and
effect, and no voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special
rights of Series A Preferred Stock and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof herein
set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other such voting powers, preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of Series A Preferred Stock and qualifications,
limitations and restrictions thereof unless so expressed herein.
(o) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock that (i) have not been issued on or before the Issue
Date or (ii) have been issued and reacquired in any manner, including shares of Series A Preferred
Stock purchased or converted, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of
Delaware) have the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company
undesignated as to series and may be designated or redesignated and issued or reissued, as the case
may be, as part of any series of preferred stock of the Company; provided that any issuance
of such shares as Series A Preferred Stock must be in compliance with the terms hereof.
(p) If any of the Series A Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or

Each warrant represented hereby (a Warrant) entitles the holder thereof (the
Holder), subject to the provisions contained herein, to purchase from XPO Logistics,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), one share of the Companys common stock, par
value $0.001 per share (Company Common Stock), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence

This Warrant Certificate is issued under and in accordance with the Investment Agreement,
dated as of June 13, 2011 (the Investment Agreement), by and among Jacobs Private Equity,
LLC, the other Investors party thereto and the Company, and is subject to the terms and provisions
contained in the Investment Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Investment Agreement.
ARTICLE I
Exercise Price; Exercise of Warrants and Expiration of Warrants
SECTION 1.01. Exercise Price. This Warrant Certificate shall entitle the Holder
hereof, subject to the provisions of this Warrant Certificate, to purchase one share of Company
Common Stock for each Warrant represented hereby, at the Exercise Price, in each case subject to
all adjustments made on or prior to the date of exercise thereof as herein provided.
SECTION 1.02. Exercise of Warrants. (a) The Warrants shall be exercisable in whole
or in part from time to time on any Business Day beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on the
Expiration Date in the manner provided for herein.
SECTION 1.03. Expiration of Warrants. Any unexercised Warrants shall expire and the
rights of the Holder of such Warrants to purchase Company Common Stock shall terminate at the close
of business on the Expiration Date.
SECTION 1.04. Method of Exercise; Payment of Exercise Price. (a) In order to
exercise a Warrant, the Holder hereof must (i) surrender this Warrant Certificate to the Company,
with the Exercise Subscription Form attached hereto as Annex I duly completed and executed, at any
time during usual business hours at its principal place of business or the offices of the Transfer
Agent, and (ii) pay in full the Exercise Price then in effect for the shares of Company Common
Stock as to which this Warrant Certificate is submitted for exercise in the manner provided in
paragraph (b) of this Section 1.04.
(b) Simultaneously with the exercise of each Warrant, payment in full of the Exercise Price
shall be delivered to the Company. Such payment shall be made in cash, by bank wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.
(c) If fewer than all the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate are surrendered,
this Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered and a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and

and the Company shall register the new Warrant Certificate in the name of such Person or Persons.
Any new Warrant Certificate shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its President, Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Secretary, either manually or by facsimile signature
printed thereon. In case any Officer of the Company whose signature shall have been placed upon
any Warrant Certificate shall cease to be such Officer of the Company before issue and delivery

and effect as though such person had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company.
(d) Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to transfer to the
2
Holder appropriate evidence of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock or other
securities or property (including cash) to which the Holder is entitled, registered or otherwise

Holder (subject to the terms hereof), and shall deliver such evidence of ownership and any other
securities or property (including cash) to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same,
together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 2.03.
Upon payment of the Exercise Price therefor, the Holder (or its designee) shall be deemed to own
and have all of the rights associated with any Company Common Stock or other securities or property
(including cash) to which it is entitled pursuant to this Warrant Certificate upon the surrender of
this Warrant Certificate in accordance with the terms of this Warrant Certificate.
SECTION 1.05. Compliance with the Securities Act. (a) No Warrants or shares of

(any such sale, transfer or other disposition, a Sale), except in compliance with the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws or
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any other applicable
securities laws, or in a transaction not subject to such laws. The Warrants and the shares of
Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will have the benefit of certain

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD
OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IN
EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.
ARTICLE II
Adjustments; Changes upon Certain Other Transactions
SECTION 2.01. Anti-dilution Adjustments. (a) The number of shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants and the Exercise Price shall be subject to the following adjustments from
time to time:
(i) Stock Dividends. In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend
or other distribution on the Company Common Stock in
3
Company Common Stock, the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of each Warrant, as in effect at the opening of business on the day
following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of the Company
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, shall be adjusted so that the
Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive the number of shares of Company
Common Stock that the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive
after the happening of the dividend or other distribution, had such Warrant been
exercised immediately prior to the date fixed for such determination; and, in the
event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price, as in effect at the opening of
business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders
of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution, shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the close of
business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the
sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such
dividend or other distribution. Such adjustments shall become effective
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for
such determination.
(ii) Stock Purchase Rights. In case the Company shall issue to all
holders of Company Common Stock options, warrants or other rights entitling them to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Company Common Stock for a period expiring
within 60 days from the date of issuance of such options, warrants or other rights
at a price per share of Company Common Stock less than the Market Value on the date
fixed for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such
options, warrants or other rights (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment,
share purchase or similar plan), the number of shares of Company Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the
number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant, as
in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such
determination, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares
of Company Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for
such determination plus the number of shares of Company Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase, either directly or indirectly, and the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the
close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of
shares of Company Common Stock which the aggregate consideration expected to be
received by the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such options,
warrants or other rights (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) would
purchase at such Market Value; and, in the event of any such adjustment, the
Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on
4
the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on
the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Company Common
Stock which the aggregate consideration expected to be received by the Company upon
the exercise, conversion or exchange of such options, warrants or other rights (as
determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and
described in a Board Resolution) would purchase at such Market Value and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus
the number of shares of Company Common Stock so offered for subscription or
purchase, either directly or indirectly. Such adjustments shall become effective
immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for
such determination; provided, however, that no such adjustments
shall be made if the Holder would be entitled to receive such options, warrants or
other rights upon exercise at any time of the Warrants; provided,
further, however, that if any of the foregoing options, warrants or
other rights are only exercisable upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, then
no such adjustments shall be made until such Triggering Event occurs.
(iii) Stock Splits, Reverse Splits and Combinations. In case
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be subdivided, split or
reclassified into a greater number of shares of Company Common Stock, then the
number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant in
effect at the opening of business on the day following the date upon which such
subdivision, split or reclassification becomes effective shall be adjusted so that
the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive the number of shares of Company
Common Stock that the Holder would have owned or would have been entitled to
receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such subdivision,
split or reclassification becoming effective; and, in the event of any such
adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of business on the day
following the date upon which such subdivision, split or reclassification becomes
effective shall be proportionately reduced. Conversely, in case outstanding shares
of Company Common Stock shall be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of
shares of Company Common Stock, then the number of shares of Company Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of each Warrant in effect at the opening of business on the
day following the date upon which such combination or reclassification becomes
effective shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to
receive the number of shares of Company Common Stock that the Holder would have
owned or would have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to such combination or reclassification becoming effective; and,
in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect at the opening of
5
business on the day following the date upon which such combination or
reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. Such
adjustments shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the
day following the date upon which such subdivision, split, reclassification or
combination becomes effective.
(iv) Debt, Asset or Security Distributions. (A) In case the Company
shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of Company Common Stock
evidences of its indebtedness, assets or securities (but excluding any dividend or
distribution of options, warrants or other rights referred to in paragraph (ii) of
this Section 2.01(a), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, any
dividend or distribution of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or
similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit in
the case of a Spin-off referred to in the next subparagraph, or any dividend or
distribution referred to in paragraph (i) of this Section 2.01(a)), then the number
of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant
immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination
of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution shall be
increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to the
date fixed for such determination by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the Market Value on the date fixed for such determination plus the fair market
value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be
conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common
Stock and the denominator of which shall be the Market Value on the date fixed for
such determination; and, in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price
shall be reduced by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to
the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of
the Company entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Market Value on the date fixed for such determination and the
denominator of which shall be such Market Value plus the fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive and
described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock. Such
adjustments shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders of the
Company entitled to receive such distribution. In any case in which this
subparagraph (iv)(A) is applicable, subparagraph (iv)(B) of this Section
2.01(a)(iv) shall not be applicable.
(B) In the case of a Spin-off, the number of shares of Company Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant
6
immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for
determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such
distribution shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the
number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such
Warrant immediately before the close of business on such date by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be the Market Value plus the fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive
and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of those shares of Capital
Stock or similar equity interests so distributed applicable to one share of
Company Common Stock, and the denominator of which shall be the Market Value;
and, in the event of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination
of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution shall be
reduced by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the Market Value and the denominator of which shall be the Market
Value plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board,
whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of
the portion of those shares of Capital Stock or similar equity interests so
distributed applicable to one share of Company Common Stock. Any adjustments
under this subparagraph (iv)(B) will occur on the date that is the earlier of
(1) the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-off and (2) the date of the Initial Public Offering of the securities
being distributed in the Spin-off, if that Initial Public Offering is effected
simultaneously with the Spin-off.
(v) Tender Offers. In the case that a tender or exchange offer made
by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the
Company Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended
through the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of the
Company (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the
tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares) of aggregate consideration having a
fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination
shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) per share of Company
Common Stock that exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Company Common Stock on the
Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made
pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, then, immediately prior to the opening
of business on the day after the date of the last time (the Expiration
Time) tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender or
exchange offer (as amended through the expiration thereof), the number of shares of
Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior
to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time shall be increased to a
number determined by multiplying the
7
number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each
Warrant immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration
Time by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to (x) the product of
(I) the Market Value on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of
shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged
shares) on the date of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly
tendered or exchanged, not withdrawn and accepted for payment on the date of the
Expiration Time (such validly tendered or exchanged shares, up to any such maximum,
being referred to as the Purchased Shares) plus (y) the amount of cash
plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration
payable to stockholders of the Company pursuant to the tender or exchange offer
(assuming the acceptance, up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or
exchange offer, of Purchased Shares), and (B) the denominator of which shall be
equal to the product of (x) the Market Value on the date of the Expiration Time and
(y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any
tendered or exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time; and, in the event
of any such adjustment, the Exercise Price shall be reduced by multiplying the
Exercise Price immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the
Expiration Time by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the
product of (x) the Market Value on the date of the Expiration Time and (y) the
number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or
exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time, and (B) the denominator of
which shall be equal to (x) the product of (I) the Market Value on the date of the
Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding
(including any tendered or exchanged shares) on the date of the Expiration Time
less the number of Purchased Shares plus (y) the amount of cash plus the fair
market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to
stockholders of the Company pursuant to the tender or exchange offer (assuming the
acceptance, up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange
offer, of Purchased Shares).
(b) De Minimis Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
adjustment under this Section 2.01 need be made to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a
Warrant or the Exercise Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least 1.0% of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price
immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward
and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which,
together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall result in an increase or
decrease of at least 1.0% of the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant or the
Exercise Price immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. No adjustment to the Exercise
Price under this Section 2.01 shall be made if such adjustment will result in an Exercise Price
that is less than the par value of the Company Common Stock. All adjustments to
8
the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price shall be
calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Company Common Stock (or if there is not a
nearest 1/10,000th of a share to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share) or the nearest $0.0001 (or
if there is not a nearest $0.0001 to the next lower $0.0001), as the case may be.
(c) Tax-Related Adjustments. The Company may make such increases in the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition to
those required by this Section 2.01, as the Board considers advisable in order to avoid or diminish
any income tax to any holders of shares of Company Common Stock resulting from any dividend or
distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from
any event treated as such for income tax purposes. In the event the Company elects to make such an
increase in the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or such a reduction in the
Exercise Price, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act
and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, if and to the extent that such laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with the increase in the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants or the reduction in the Exercise Price.
(d) Stockholder Rights Plans. Upon exercise of the Warrants, to the extent that the
Holder receives Company Common Stock, the Holder shall receive, in addition to the shares of
Company Common Stock and any cash for fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.03, if any,
the rights issued under any future stockholder rights plan the Company may establish whether or not
such rights are separated from the Company Common Stock prior to exercise. A distribution of
rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plan will not result in an adjustment to the number of
shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii)
or 2.01(a)(iv), provided that the Company has provided for the Holder to receive such
rights upon exercise.
(e) Reversal of Adjustment. If the Company shall take a record of the holders of
Company Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution,
and shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to
stockholders) legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then
thereafter no adjustment in the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or the
Exercise Price then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.
(f) Exceptions to Adjustment. The applicable number of shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants and Exercise Price shall not be adjusted:
(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to any
present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest
payable on the Companys securities and the investment of additional optional
amounts in shares of Company Common Stock under any such plan;
9
(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock or options or
rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee,
director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries;
(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to any
option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security
outstanding as of the Issue Date;
(iv) for a change in the par value of the Company Common Stock;
(v) for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Companys Series A Convertible
Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share; or
(vi) for the 4-for-1 reverse stock split consummated on the Issuance Date
pursuant to the Investment Agreement.
SECTION 2.02. Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes in the Companys Stock.
In the event of any reclassification of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than a
change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than with a Subsidiary of
the Company) or any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the resulting or surviving Person and that does not result in any
reclassification or change of outstanding Company Common Stock), or any sale or other disposition
to another Person of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (computed on a
consolidated basis) (any of the foregoing, a Transaction), upon exercise of the Warrants,
the Holder will be entitled to receive the kind and amount of securities (of the Company or another
issuer), cash and other property receivable upon such Transaction by a holder of the number of
shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such
Transaction, after giving effect to any adjustment event or, in the event holders of Company Common
Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in any Transaction,
the weighted average of the forms and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Company
Common Stock. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this
Warrant Certificate, the Holder shall become entitled upon exercise to any securities other than,
or in addition to, shares of Company Common Stock, thereafter the number or amount of such other
securities so receivable upon exercise and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to the Company Common Stock set forth in this Warrant Certificate.
SECTION 2.03. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Company Common Stock shall
be issued to the Holder upon exercise of any Warrant. In lieu of any fraction of a share of
Company Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon exercise of the aggregate number of
Warrants exercised by the Holder, the Holder shall have the right to receive an amount in cash
(computed to the nearest cent) equal to
10
the same fraction of the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day next preceding the date of
exercise.
SECTION 2.04. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the number of shares of Company Common
Stock or other stock or property issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant or the Exercise Price
is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall (i) compute such adjustment in accordance with
this Article II and prepare and transmit to the Transfer Agent an Officers Certificate setting
forth the adjustment, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail and the facts
requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based and (ii) as soon as practicable
following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment pursuant to this Article II (or if
the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), the
Company or, at the request and expense of the Company, the Transfer Agent shall provide a written
notice to the holders of Warrants (including the Holder) of the occurrence of such event and a
statement setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustment was determined and
setting forth the adjusted amount.
ARTICLE III

place of business a register in which the Company shall provide for the registration of Warrant
Certificates and of any exchanges of Warrant Certificates as herein provided.
(b) At the option of the Holder, Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at such office and upon
payment of the charges hereinafter provided. Whenever any Warrant Certificates are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver the Warrant Certificates that the Holder is
entitled to receive.
(c) All Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant
Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and

transfer or exchange.
(d) Every Warrant Certificate surrendered for registration of exchange shall (if so required
by the Company) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized
in writing.

exchange of this Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall pay any taxes or other governmental
charges that may be imposed in connection with any registration of exchange of Warrant
Certificates.
(f) This Warrant Certificate when duly endorsed in blank shall be deemed negotiable and when
this Warrant Certificate shall have been so endorsed, the Holder
11
hereof may be treated by the Company and all other Persons dealing therewith as the absolute
owner hereof for any purpose and as the Person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby.
ARTICLE IV
Voting
SECTION 4.01. No Voting Rights. Prior to the exercise of the Warrants, the Holder, in
its capacity as such, shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company,
including the right to vote or to consent with respect to any matter.
ARTICLE V
Covenants
SECTION 5.01. Reservation of Company Common Stock for Issuance on Exercise of
Warrants. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free
from preemptive rights and solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of the Warrants as herein
provided, out of its authorized but unissued Company Common Stock, such number of shares of Company
Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all Warrants issuable hereunder and all
other Warrant Certificates. The Company covenants that all shares of Company Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security
interests with respect to the issuance thereof.

or other distribution on the Company Common Stock, it shall give notice to the holders of all the
then outstanding Warrants (including the Holder) of any such declaration not less than 15 days
prior to the related record date for payment of the dividend or distribution so declared.
SECTION 5.03. HSR Act Compliance. If the Holder determines that a notification under
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (the HSR Act), is required in connection with the exercise of the
Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with the
Holder by (i) promptly effecting all necessary notifications and other filings under the HSR Act
that are required to be made by the Company and (ii) responding as promptly as reasonably
practicable to all inquiries or requests received from the United States Federal Trade Commission
(the FTC), the Department of Justice (the DOJ) or any other governmental
authority in connection with such notifications and other filings. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing in this Section 5.03 shall require that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries commit to
any divestiture, license or hold separate or similar arrangement with respect to the business,
assets or properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any such notifications and
responses by the Company will be in full compliance with the
12
requirements of the HSR Act. The Company shall, to the extent legally permissible, keep the
Holder reasonably apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests
for additional information from, the FTC, the DOJ or such other governmental authority. The
Company shall pay the filing fees in connection with the above filings, and shall otherwise each
bear its costs and expenses in connection with the preparation of such filings and responses to
inquires or requests.
SECTION 5.04. Certain Other Events. If any event occurs as to which the provisions of
Article II are not strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not fairly protect the
rights of the holders of the Warrants in accordance with the essential intent and principles of
such provisions, then the Board 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 judgment of the Board, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid.

ARTICLE II
Registration Rights
SECTION 2.01. Demand Registration Rights. (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, any
Holder or group of Holders holding Registrable Securities constituting, convertible into or
exercisable for, in the aggregate, no less than a majority of the total number of shares of Company
Common Stock that either constitute Registrable Securities or are issuable upon conversion of
Preferred Stock or exercise of
Warrants that constitute Registrable Securities (the Majority Holders) may, at any
time from and after the date hereof, request registration for resale under the Securities Act of
all or part of the Registrable Securities (a Demand Registration) by giving written
notice thereof to the Company (which request shall specify the number of shares of Registrable
Securities to be offered by each Holder and/or its Designated Secured Lenders and whether such
Registration Statement shall be a shelf Registration Statement under Rule 415 promulgated under
the Securities Act). The Company shall give written notice of any request for a Demand
Registration, which request complies with this Section 2.01(a), within five days after the receipt
thereof, to each Holder who did not initially join in such request. Within 10 days after receipt
of such notice, any such Holder may request in writing that all or part of its Registrable
Securities be included in such Demand Registration, and the Company shall include in the Demand
Registration the Registrable Securities of each such Holder requested to be so included, subject to
the provisions of Section 2.01(c). Each such request shall specify the number of shares of
Registrable Securities to be offered by such Holder and/or its Designated Secured Lenders. If
requested by any Holder, the Company shall include as a selling security holder in the applicable
Registration Statement any Designated Secured Lender of the applicable Holder with respect to the
Registrable Securities of the applicable Holder, subject to Section 3.04. Subject to Section
2.01(c) below, upon receipt of a Demand Registration notice in accordance herewith, the Company
shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to file a Registration Statement (which shall be a shelf
Registration Statement under Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act if requested pursuant to
the request of the Majority Holders pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.01(a))
registering for resale such number of Registrable Securities as requested to be so registered as
promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within 30 days, in the case of a registration
statement on Form S-3, or 45 days, in the case of a registration statement on Form S-1, after the
request of the Majority Holders therefor (such Registration Statement, a Demand Registration
Statement) and (ii) to cause such Demand Registration Statement to be declared effective by
the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.01(a): (A) with
respect to securities that are not Registrable Securities; (B) during any Scheduled Black-Out
Period; (C) if the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be offered is less
than $5,000,000, unless the Registrable Securities to be offered constitute all of the
then-outstanding Registrable Securities; or (D) within 90 days after the effective date of a prior
Demand Registration Statement. If permitted under the Securities Act, such Demand Registration
Statement shall be one that is automatically effective upon filing.
5
(b) The Holders shall be entitled to a total of three Demand Registrations. A Registration
Statement shall not count as a permitted Demand Registration unless and until it has become
effective and Holders are able to register at least 75% of the Registrable Securities requested by
the Holders to be included in such registration. A Demand Registration shall not count against the
number of such registrations set forth in the second preceding sentence if (i) after the applicable
Demand Registration Statement has become effective, such Demand Registration Statement or the
related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder becomes the subject of any
stop order, injunction or other order or restriction imposed by the SEC or any other governmental
agency or court for any reason attributable to the Company and such interference is not
thereafter eliminated so as to permit the completion of the contemplated distribution of
Registrable Securities or (ii) in the case of an underwritten offering, the conditions specified in
the related underwriting agreement, if any, are not satisfied or waived for any reason attributable
to the Company or for any reason not attributable to the selling Holder or Holders or their
applicable Designated Secured Lenders, and as a result of any such circumstances described in
clause (i) or (ii), less than all of the Registrable Securities covered by the Demand Registration
Statement are sold by the selling Holder or Holders or their applicable Designated Secured Lenders
pursuant to the Demand Registration Statement.
(c) The Company may include in a Demand Registration Statement shares of Company Common Stock
for sale for its own account or for the account of other security holders of the Company. If such
Demand Registration Statement is in respect of an underwritten offering and the managing
underwriters of the requested Demand Registration advise the Company and the Investor
Representative that in their reasonable opinion the number of shares of Company Common Stock or
other securities proposed to be included in the Demand Registration Statement exceeds the number of
shares of Company Common Stock or other securities that can be sold in such underwritten offering
without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including the offering
price per share) (such maximum number of shares, the Maximum Number of Shares), the
Company will include in such Demand Registration Statement only such number of shares of Company
Common Stock and other securities that in the reasonable opinion of the managing underwriters can
be sold without materially delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering (including the
offering price per share), which shares of Company Common Stock and other securities will be so
included in the following order of priority: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of all Holders
requested to be included therein, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of
Company Common Stock represented (including upon exercise or conversion) by the Registrable
Securities requested to be included by each such Holder; (ii) second, the shares of Company Common
Stock and other securities the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, any other shares of
Company Common Stock and other securities that have been requested to be so included by any other
person.
(d) If any of the Registrable Securities covered by a Demand Registration are to be sold in an
underwritten offering, the Company and the Investor Representative shall mutually agree upon the
selection of the managing underwriter or underwriters. If the Company and the Investor
Representative are unable to agree on the managing
6
underwriter or underwriters within a reasonable
amount of time, the Company and the Investor Representative shall each select a managing
underwriter and such underwriters shall serve as joint managing underwriters in respect of such
offering.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board determines in its good faith judgment that the
filing of a Demand Registration Statement would require the disclosure of material non-public
information concerning the Company that at the time is not, in the good faith judgment of the
Board, in the best interests of the Company to disclose and is not, in the opinion of the Companys
counsel, otherwise required to be
disclosed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for the period during
which such registration would require such disclosure; provided, however, that (x)
the Company may not defer such filing for a period of more than 45 days per notice, (y) the total
number of days that any such deferrals may be in effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90
days in the aggregate, less (without duplication) the number of days during such 12-month period in
which any suspensions pursuant to Section 3.03(ii) are or have been in effect, and (z) the Company
shall not exercise its right to defer a Demand Registration more than three times in the aggregate
in any 12-month period, less the number of suspensions pursuant to Section 3.03(ii) that are or
have been in effect during such 12-month period. The Company shall give written notice of its
determination to the Holders and any applicable Designated Secured Lenders to defer the filing and
of the fact that the purpose for such deferral no longer exists, in each case, as promptly as
reasonably practicable after the occurrence thereof.
(f) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep each Demand Registration Statement
effective until the earlier of (i) two years (in the case of a shelf Demand Registration Statement)
or 90 days (in the case of any other Demand Registration Statement) from the effective date of such
Demand Registration Statement and (ii) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by
such Demand Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Demand Registration Statement.
SECTION 2.02. Piggyback Registration Rights. (a) If at any time the Company has
registered or has determined to register any of its securities for its own account or for the
account of other security holders of the Company on any registration form (other than Form S-4 or
S-8 or a successor form, or any other form if substantially all of the proceeds thereof are to be
used to finance any publicly-announced acquisition) which permits the inclusion of the Registrable
Securities (a Piggyback Registration), the Company will give the Holders written notice
thereof promptly (but in no event less than 15 days prior to the anticipated filing date) and,
subject to this Section 2.02, shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities
requested to be included therein pursuant to the written request of one or more Holders received
within 10 days after delivery of the Companys notice. If requested by any Holder, the Company
shall include as a selling security holder in the applicable Registration Statement any Designated
Secured Lender of the applicable Holder with respect to the Registrable Securities of the
applicable Holder, subject to Section 3.04. If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as a primary
underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company
and the Investor Representative that in their reasonable opinion the number of shares of Company
Common Stock and other
7
securities proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the Maximum
Number of Shares, the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the number of shares
of Company Common Stock and other securities that the Company proposed to sell; (ii) second, the
number of shares of Company Common Stock and other Registrable Securities requested to be included
therein by all Holders who have requested registration of Registrable Securities in accordance with
this Section 2.02(a), pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Company Common
Stock represented (including upon exercise or conversion) by the Registrable Securities requested
to be included by each such Holder; and (iii) third, any other shares of Company Common
Stock and other securities that have been requested to be so included by any other person.
(b) If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as an underwritten registration on behalf of a
holder of shares of Company Common Stock or other securities other than the Holders (or, for the
avoidance of doubt, their assignees) pursuant to a written agreement enforceable against the
Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company and the Investor Representative that in
their reasonable opinion the number of shares of Company Common Stock and other securities proposed
to be included in such registration exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall
include in such registration: (i) first, the number of shares of Company Common Stock and other
securities requested to be included therein by the holder(s) requesting such registration; (ii)
second, the number of shares of Company Common Stock and other Registrable Securities requested to
be included therein by all Holders who have requested registration of Registrable Securities in
accordance with Section 2.02(a), pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Company
Common Stock represented (including upon exercise or conversion) by the Registrable Securities
requested to be included by each such Holder; (iii) third, the number of shares of Company Common
Stock and other securities that the Company proposes to sell; and (iv) fourth, any other shares of
Company Common Stock and other securities that have been requested to be so included by any other
person.
(c) If any Piggyback Registration is a primary or secondary underwritten offering, the Company
shall have the right to select, in its sole discretion, the managing underwriter or underwriters to
administer any such offering.
(d) The Company shall not grant to any person the right to request the Company to register any
shares of Company Common Stock or other securities in a Piggyback Registration unless such rights
are consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.02.
(e) Each Holder may withdraw all or any part of its Registrable Securities (on its own behalf
or on behalf of its applicable Designated Secured Lender) from a Piggyback Registration at any time
by delivering written notice of such withdrawal request to the Company, unless such Piggyback
Registration is underwritten, in which case Registrable Securities may not be withdrawn after the
effective date of the applicable Registration Statement.

ARTICLE III
Registration Procedures
SECTION 3.01. Expenses of Registration and Selling. All Expenses of the Company, the
Holders and the applicable Designated Secured Lenders incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance hereunder or the sale of any securities registered hereunder shall be
borne by the Company.
SECTION 3.02. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
practicable, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to a proposed offering
of Registrable Securities and use reasonable best efforts to have such Registration Statement
declared effective as promptly as practicable.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the applicable
Registration Statement and the Prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with such
Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.
(c) Furnish to the selling Holder or Holders, any applicable Designated Secured Lender and any
underwriters such number of copies of the applicable Registration Statement and each such amendment
and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits) and of a Prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other
documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable
Securities owned or to be distributed by them.
(d) Use reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such
Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall
be reasonably requested by the Investor Representative or any managing underwriter(s), to keep such
registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in
effect and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable the selling Holder
or Holders or their applicable Designated Secured Lenders to consummate the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the securities owned by the selling Holder or Holders or their applicable
Designated Secured Lenders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business, to file a
general consent to service of process or to become subject to taxation in any such states or
jurisdictions.
(e) Notify the selling Holder or Holders and their applicable Designated Secured Lenders at
any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of
the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable Prospectus, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
9
omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which such statements were made, not misleading.
(f) Give written notice to the selling Holder or Holders and their applicable Designated
Secured Lenders:
(i) when any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.02 or
any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when
such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become
effective;
(ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any
Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein or for additional
information;
(iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose;
(iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities
for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for
such purpose; and
(v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in
any effective Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make the statements
therein not misleading (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made), which notice shall be
accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the
requisite changes have been made.
(g) Use reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement referred to in Section 3.02(f)(iii) at
the earliest practicable time.
(h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3.02(f)(v), promptly prepare a
post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus
or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the selling Holder or
Holders, their applicable Designated Secured Lenders and any underwriters, the Prospectus will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. If the Company notifies the selling Holder or Holders and their applicable Designated
Secured Lenders in accordance with Section 3.02(f)(v) to suspend the use of the Prospectus until
the requisite changes to the Prospectus have been made, then the selling Holder or Holders and
their applicable Designated Secured Lenders and any underwriters shall suspend use of such
Prospectus and use reasonable best efforts to return to the
Company
10
all copies of such Prospectus
(at the Companys expense) other than permanently filed copies then in the possession of the
selling Holder or Holders, their applicable Designated Secured Lenders or the underwriters.
(i) Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Companys transfer agent in
settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to the transfer of
physical stock certificates into book-entry form
in accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by the Investor Representative or any
managing underwriter(s).
(j) In the case of an underwritten offering, enter into an underwriting agreement in form,
scope and substance as is customarily entered into for similar underwritten offerings of equity
securities by similar companies and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the
Investor Representative or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or facilitate the
underwritten disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith (i) make such
representations and warranties to the selling Holder or Holders, their applicable Designated
Secured Lenders and the managing underwriter(s) with respect to the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries, and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are
customarily made by the issuer in similar underwritten offerings of equity securities by similar
companies, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested; (ii) use reasonable best efforts
to furnish the underwriter(s) with opinions of counsel to the Company, addressed to the managing
underwriter(s), covering the matters customarily covered in the opinions requested in similar
underwritten offerings of equity securities by similar companies; (iii) use reasonable best efforts
to obtain cold comfort letters from the current and former independent certified public
accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants
of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are
included in the Registration Statement) who have certified the financial statements included in
such Registration Statement, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily covered in cold comfort letters in connection with similar underwritten offerings of
equity securities by similar companies; (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, provide
that the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures customary in similar
underwritten offerings of equity securities by similar companies and consistent with the provisions
of Section 4.01 hereof; and (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably
requested by the selling Holder or Holders, their counsel and the managing underwriter(s) to
evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to clause (i)
above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting
agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company.
(k) Make available for inspection by a single representative of the selling Holder or Holders
and their applicable Designated Secured Lenders, and the managing underwriter(s), if any, and their
respective attorneys or accountants, at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business
hours, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company,
and cause the officers, directors and
11
employees of the Company to supply all information in each
case reasonably requested by any such representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or
accountant in connection with such Registration Statement.
(l) (i) Use reasonable best efforts to cause all shares of Company Common Stock covered by a
Registration Statement to be listed on the national securities exchange on which the Company Common
Stock is then listed, and enter into such
customary agreements, including a supplemental listing application and indemnification
agreement in customary form; provided, however, that the applicable listing
requirements are satisfied, and (ii) provide a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement no later than the effective date of such
Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall bear the cost of all
reasonable expenses associated with any listing.
(m) Make reasonably available senior executives of the Company to participate in road show
and other marketing presentations from time to time as reasonably requested by the managing
underwriter(s), if any.
SECTION 3.03. Suspension of Sales. During (i) any Scheduled Black-Out Period, (ii)
upon receipt of written notice from the Company that the Board has determined, in good faith, that
permitting continuing offers and sales of Registrable Securities registered under a shelf
Registration Statement would require the disclosure of material non-public information concerning
the Company that at the time is not, in the good faith judgment of the Board, in the best interests
of the Company to disclose and is not, in the opinion of the Companys counsel, otherwise required
to be disclosed, the period during which allowing such offers and sales would require such
disclosure (provided that (x) the Company may not suspend use of the applicable
Registration Statement pursuant to this clause (ii) for a period of more than 45 days per notice,
(y) the total number of days that any such suspensions pursuant to this clause (ii) may be in
effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days in the aggregate, less (without duplication)
the number of days during such 12-month period in which any deferrals pursuant to Section 2.01(e)
are or have been in effect, and (z) the Company shall not exercise its right to suspend use of a
Registration Statement pursuant to this clause (ii) more than three times in the aggregate in any
12-month period, less the number of deferrals pursuant to Section 2.01(e) that are or have been in
effect during such 12-month period), or (iii) the period following receipt of written notice from
the Company that a Registration Statement, Prospectus or prospectus supplement contains or may
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (excluding for purposes
of this clause (iii) any event or circumstances to which clause (ii) could be applicable), the
selling Holder or Holders and their applicable Designated Secured Lenders shall discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until the
termination of such Scheduled Black-Out Period or until the selling Holder or Holders and their
applicable Designated Secured Lenders have received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus
or prospectus supplement, or until the selling Holder or Holders and their applicable Designated
Secured Lenders are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus and, if
applicable,
12
prospectus supplement may be resumed. If so directed by the Company, in the case of a
suspension pursuant to clause (iii), the selling Holder or Holders and their applicable Designated
Secured Lenders shall deliver to the Company (at the Companys expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in their possession, of the Prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus
supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such suspension
notice. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cure any untrue statement of a material
fact or material omission in order to
permit the resumption of dispositions at the earliest practicable date following a suspension
in accordance with clause (iii).
SECTION 3.04. Furnishing Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to include the Registrable Securities of any Holder and its Designated
Secured Lenders in any Registration Statement that the applicable Holder or its applicable
Designated Secured Lender furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by or pledged to it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as
shall be required to effect the registered offering of its Registrable Securities in accordance
with the Securities Act and the requirements of the applicable Securities Act form. As a condition
to any Designated Secured Lender being named as a selling security holder in any Registration
Statement pursuant hereto, the Company may, in its discretion, require that such Designated Secured
Lender confirm in writing its agreement to comply with the obligations of a Designated Secured
Lender specified in this Agreement with respect to such registration.
ARTICLE IV
Indemnification and Contribution
SECTION 4.01. Indemnification. (a) In connection with each registration pursuant to
Article II, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder and each
Designated Secured Lender named as a selling security holder in the applicable Registration
Statement, and each person, if any, who controls any such person within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act, as follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever,
as incurred, arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto),
or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
arising out of an untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the
omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; and
13
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement
of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if
such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld;
provided, however, that, with respect to any selling Holder or Designated Secured
Lender, this indemnity shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the
extent arising out of an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
selling Holder or Designated Secured Lender expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto), or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto).
(b) Each selling Holder and each Designated Secured Lender agrees, severally and not jointly,
to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed a
Registration Statement and the other selling Holders and applicable Designated Secured Lenders, and
each person, if any, who controls the Company, any other selling Holder or any Designated Secured
Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability,
claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 4.01(a), as incurred, but
only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions,
made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by such selling Holder or Designated Secured Lender
expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided that no
such selling Holder or Designated Secured Lender shall be liable under this Section 4.01 for any
amounts exceeding the product of the sales price per Registrable Security and the number of
Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or Prospectus by such
selling Holder or Designated Secured Lender.
(c) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each indemnifying party of any action
commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so
notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability it may
have under this Agreement, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby.
If it so elects, after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other
indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the defense of such action with counsel
chosen by it; provided, however, that the indemnified party shall be entitled to
participate in (but not control) the defense of such action with counsel chosen by it, the
reasonable fees and expenses of which shall be paid by such indemnified party, unless a conflict
would arise if one counsel were to represent both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party,
in
14
which case the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party shall be paid by
the indemnifying party or parties. In no event shall the indemnifying party or parties be liable
for a settlement of an action with respect to which they have assumed the defense if such
settlement is effected without the written consent of such indemnifying party, or for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one counsel for (i) the Company and its officers,
directors and controlling persons as a group, and (ii) the selling Holders, the applicable
Designated Secured Lenders and their controlling persons as a group, in each case, in connection
with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or
circumstances; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of an
indemnified party, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the Company
or any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, the indemnifying party shall
be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel.
SECTION 4.02. Contribution. (a) If the indemnification provided for in or pursuant
to Section 4.01 is due in accordance with the terms hereof, but held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable or unenforceable in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one
hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
result in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the
indemnified party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party, and by such partys relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event shall the liability of any selling
Holder or Designated Secured Lender be greater in amount than the amount for which such selling
Holder or Designated Secured Lender would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if
the indemnification provided for under Section 4.01(a) had been available under the circumstances.
(b) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 4.02(b), each director of the Company,
each officer of the Company who signed a Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who
controls the Company or a selling Holder or Designated Secured Lender within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or such selling
Holder or Designated Secured Lender, as the case may be.

ARTICLE V
Miscellaneous
SECTION 5.01. Indemnities to Survive. The indemnity and contribution agreements
contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of any underwriting or agency agreement; (ii) any investigation made by or on
behalf of the selling Holder or Holders, any applicable Designated Secured Lender, the Company or
any underwriter or agent or controlling person; or (iii) the consummation of the sale or successive
resales of the Registered Securities.
SECTION 5.02. Lock-Up Agreements. (a) The Company agrees that, in connection with an
underwritten offering in respect of which Registrable Securities are being sold, if requested by
the managing underwriter(s), it will not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, grant any
option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, any Company Common Stock or securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for Company Common Stock (subject to customary exceptions),
other than any such sale or distribution of Company Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock or upon exercise of the Warrants, for a period of 90 days from the effective date of the
registration statement pertaining to such Registrable Securities or such shorter period to which
the selling Holder or Holders and the Designated Secured Lenders are subject.
(b) The lock-up agreements set forth in Section 5.02(a) shall be subject to customary
exceptions that may be set forth in a written underwriting agreement.
SECTION 5.03. Enforcement. The Company, the Holders and the Designated Secured
Lenders agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It
is accordingly agreed that the Company, the Holders and the Designated Secured Lenders shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if
the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, in any Delaware State court or the Federal
court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), this being in addition to
any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it
will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on
the basis that (x) any party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance
is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
16
SECTION 5.04. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the
benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable
Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts
to:
(a) for so long as it is subject to the periodic reporting obligations of the Exchange Act,
make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule
144(c)(1) or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after
the effective date of this Agreement;
(b) for so long as it is subject to the periodic reporting obligations of the Exchange Act,
file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company
under the Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to the Holders and any Designated Secured Lenders forthwith upon request: (i) in
the event the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act and of the Exchange Act; (ii) in the event the Company is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company; and (iii) such other reports and documents as the Holders may
reasonably request in availing themselves of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing them to
sell any such securities without registration; provided, however, that the Company
shall be deemed to have furnished any such document if it shall have timely made such document
available on the SECs Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System, or a successor
system.
SECTION 5.05. Notices. Any notice, demand or delivery to the Investor Representative
or the Company authorized by this Agreement shall be sufficiently given or made when mailed if sent

addresses designated in writing to the
Company by the applicable Holders. Any notice that is mailed to any such Holder or Designated
Secured Lender in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given
when mailed, whether or not such Holder or Designated Secured Lender receives the notice.

accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise
govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

of its rights hereunder (including the exclusive right to exercise the Registration Rights with

portion of such Holders Registrable Securities. The Company shall acknowledge any such assignment
promptly upon the written request (including documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of such assignment) of such Holder or such Holders assignee. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Investor Representative, and their respective
successors, assigns, beneficiaries, executors and administrators, and the Holders from time to time

waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated other than in a writing signed by each of the
Company and the Majority Holders.
SECTION 5.10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of
any such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof and the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 5.11. Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Articles and Sections
of this Agreement are inserted for convenience and shall not control or affect the meaning or
construction of any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 5.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties

attorneys fees in addition to its costs and expenses and any other available remedy.
SECTION 5.14. Limitation of Liability. No party to this Agreement shall be liable to
any other party for any consequential, indirect or special damages under any provision of this
Agreement or for any consequential, indirect, punitive or special damages arising out of any act or
failure to act hereunder even if that party has been advised of or has foreseen the possibility of

XPO Logistics, Inc.

Buchanan, MI 49107
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Investment Agreement, dated June 13, 2011, among Jacobs Private
Equity, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (JPE), certain other investors (such
other investors, the Investors), and Express-1 Expedited Solutions, Inc., now known as
XPO Logistics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), as amended (the
Investment Agreement), pursuant to which JPE and the Investors made an investment in the
Company as of the date hereof. On the date hereof, in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the Investment Agreement, the Company issued to JPE, for $67,500,000 in cash, (i) 67,500 shares of
Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock of the Company (the Preferred Stock),
which are initially convertible into an aggregate of 9,642,857 shares of Company common stock, and
(ii) warrants to initially purchase 9,642,857 shares of Company common stock (the
Warrants) at an initial exercise price of $7.00 per share. The shares of Preferred Stock,
the Warrants and the shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Stock or exercise of the Warrants are referred to, collectively, as the Registrable
Securities.
Although JPE intends to exercise its right to request the registration of the sale of the
Registrable Securities on a Registration Statement on Form S-3, JPE would like to confirm its
commitment to the long-term success of the Company. To reinforce JPEs long-term commitment to the
Company and its stockholders, JPE, acting unilaterally and voluntarily, hereby commits to the
Company that, during the period ending one year from the date hereof, it will not sell or otherwise
transfer any of the Registrable Securities, other than transfers to affiliates, who will also make
such commitment, or as security for financial planning purposes and charitable contributions.
