WARRANT AGREEMENT dated as of [ ], 2007, between GSC
Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (the "
Company "), and American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, a New York corporation, as Warrant Agent (the "
Warrant Agent ").
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue (i) 4,000,000 warrants
to be offered in a private placement bearing the legend set forth
in Exhibit B hereto (the " Founder’s Warrants
"), and (ii) up to 25,156,250 warrants to be offered pursuant to a
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the " Public Warrants " and together with
the Founder’s Warrants, the " Warrants "),
which in each case entitle the holders thereof to purchase shares
of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share ("
Common Stock ," and the Common Stock issuable on
exercise of the Warrants, the " Warrant Shares
");
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf
of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in
connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange and exercise of
Warrants and other matters as provided herein;
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
SECTION 1. Appointment of Warrant Agent. The Company hereby
appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in
accordance with the instructions set forth hereinafter in this
Agreement, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such
appointment.
SECTION 2. Warrant Certificates. The certificates evidencing
the Warrants (the " Warrant Certificates ") to be
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in registered form
only and shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto.
SECTION 3. Execution of Warrant Certificates. Warrant
Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board or its President or Chief Executive Officer
or a Vice President and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.
Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may be in the
form of a facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman
of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, Vice President,
Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for that purpose the
Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person who
shall have been Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive
Officer, Vice President, Secretary or Assistant Secretary,
notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Warrant Certificates
shall be countersigned and delivered or disposed of he or she shall
have ceased to hold such office.
In
case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the
Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the
Warrant Agent, or disposed of by the Company, such Warrant
Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered or
disposed of as though such person had not ceased to be such officer
of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf
of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the
execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of
the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate,
although at the date of the
execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such
officer.
Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of
countersignature by the Warrant Agent.
SECTION 4. Registration and Countersignature. The Warrant
Agent, on behalf of the Company, shall hold the Founder’s
Warrants unnumbered and unregistered and the Public Warrants
pre-numbered and unregistered.
Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned by the Warrant
Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so
countersigned. The Warrant Agent shall, upon written instructions
of the Chairman of the Board, the President or Chief Executive
Officer, a Vice President, the Treasurer or the Chief Financial
Officer of the Company, countersign, issue and deliver Warrants as
provided in this Agreement.
The
Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered
holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owner(s)
thereof (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon made by anyone), for all purposes, and neither the Company
nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
SECTION 5. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges; Transfer
Restrictions. The Warrant Agent shall from time to time, subject to
the limitations of this Section 5, register the transfer of any
outstanding Warrant Certificates upon the records to be maintained
by it for that purpose, upon surrender thereof duly endorsed or
accompanied (if so required by the Warrant Agent) by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered holder or holders
thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by
a duly authorized attorney. Upon any such registration of transfer,
a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) and
the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by the
Warrant Agent. Cancelled Warrant Certificates shall thereafter be
disposed of by the Warrant Agent in its customary
manner.
The
Founder’s Warrants may not be sold or transferred prior to
the date upon which the Company completes an acquisition, through a
merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or other similar business combination, of one or
more businesses or assets in the energy industry (its "
Initial Business Combination ") (such date, the "
Transfer Restriction Termination Date ") except to a
Permitted Transferee who agrees in writing with the Company to be
subject to such transfer restrictions. As used herein, "
Permitted Transferee " means (a) any officer,
director of employee of the Company; or (b) any other Person
associated with GSC Group as such term is defined in the
registration statement relating to the final prospectus relating to
the offering of Public Warrants filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The
holders of any Founder’s Warrant or Warrant Shares issued
upon exercise of any Founder’s Warrant further agree prior to
any transfer of such securities, to give written
2
notice to the Company expressing its
desire to effect such transfer and describing briefly the proposed
transfer. Upon receiving such notice, the Company shall present
copies thereof to its counsel and the holder agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any portion of such securities unless and
until:
(a)
there is then in effect a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such
disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement,
in which case the legends set forth in Exhibit B or Section 6(c)
hereof, as the case may be (collectively the "Legends") with
respect to such securities sold pursuant to such registration
statement shall be removed; or
(b)
if reasonably requested by the Company, (A) the holder shall have
furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require
registration of such Securities under the Securities Act, (B) the
Company shall have received customary representations and
warranties regarding the transferee that are reasonably
satisfactory to the Company signed by the proposed transferee and
(C) the Company shall have received an agreement by such transferee
to the restrictions contained in the Legends.
Each
Public Warrant shall initially be issued together with one share of
Common Stock as a unit (a " Unit "). The shares of
Common Stock and Public Warrants comprising a Unit shall not be
separately transferable before the later of (i) five Business Days
following the earlier to occur of the expiration of the
underwriters’ over-allotment option included in the
underwriting agreement with respect to the publicly offered Units
and the exercise of such option in full and (ii) the date on which
the Company has filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission containing an audited balance sheet reflecting the
Company’s receipt of the gross proceeds of the offering of
the Units and has issued a press release announcing when such
separate trading will begin (the later of such dates, the "
Detachment Date "). Prior to the Detachment Date,
Public Warrants may be transferred or exchanged only together with
the Unit in which such Public Warrant is included, and only for the
purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, a transfer or
exchange of such Unit. Furthermore, prior to the Detachment Date,
each transfer of a Public Unit on the register relating to such
Units shall operate also to transfer the Public Warrants included
in such Unit.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Warrant Certificates
may be exchanged at the option of the holder(s) thereof, when
surrendered to the Warrant Agent at its principal corporate trust
office, which is currently located at the address listed in Section
17 hereof, for another Warrant Certificate or other Warrant
Certificates of like tenor and representing in the aggregate a like
number of Warrants. Any holder desiring to exchange a Warrant
Certificate shall deliver a written request to the Warrant Agent,
and shall surrender, duly endorsed or accompanied (if so required
by the Warrant Agent) by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, the Warrant
Certificate or Certificates to be so exchanged. Warrant
Certificates surrendered for exchange shall be cancelled by the
Warrant Agent. Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall then be
disposed of by such Warrant Agent in its customary
manner.
3
The
Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign, in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 5 and of Section 4 hereof, the
new Warrant Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 5.
SECTION 6. Terms of Warrants.
(a)
Exercise Price and Exercise Period.
The
initial exercise price per share at which Warrant Shares shall be
purchasable upon the exercise of Warrants (the " Exercise
Price ") shall be $6.00 per share, and each Warrant shall
be initially exercisable to purchase one share of Common
Stock.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including without
limitation Section 6(d) below), each Warrant holder shall have the
right, which may be exercised commencing at the opening of business
on the first day of the applicable Warrant Exercise Period set
forth below and until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last
day of such Warrant Exercise Period, to receive from the Company
the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the
holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such
Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price then in effect for such
Warrant Shares. No adjustments as to dividends will be made upon
exercise of the Warrants.
The "
Warrant Exercise Period " shall commence (subject to
Section 6(d) below), on the later of:
(A)
the date that is 13 months after the closing of the sale of the
Warrants and
(B)
the date on which the Company completes its Initial Business
Combination
and
shall end on the earlier of:
(i)
the date that is four years from the date of the final prospectus
for the offering of the Public Warrants; and
(ii)
the Business Day preceding the date on which such Warrants are
redeemed pursuant to Section 6(b) below or expire pursuant to
Section 6(e) below.
The "
Closing Price " of the Common Stock on any date of
determination means;
(i)
the closing sale price for the
regular trading session (without considering after hours or other
trading outside regular trading session hours) of the Common Stock
(regular way) on the American Stock Exchange on that date (or, if
no closing price is reported, the last reported sale price during
that regular trading session),
4
(ii)
if the Common Stock is not listed
for trading on the American Stock Exchange on that date, as
reported in the composite transactions for the principal United
States securities exchange on which the Common Stock is so
listed,
(iii)
if the Common Stock is not so
reported, the last quoted bid price for the Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market as reported by the OTC
Bulletin Board, the National
Quotation Bureau or similar organization, or
(iv)
if the Common Stock is not so
quoted, the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices
for the Common Stock from at least three nationally recognized
investment banking firms that the Company selects for this
purpose.
Each
Warrant not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the last day of the Warrant Exercise Period shall become void and
all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this
Agreement shall cease as of such time.
(b)
Redemption of Warrants.
The
Company may call the Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in
part, at a price of $.01 per Warrant, upon not less than 30
days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Warrant
holder, at any time after such Warrants have become exercisable
pursuant to Section 6(a), if, and only if, (i) the Closing Price
has equaled or exceeded $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days
within a 30-trading-day period ending on the third Business Day
prior to the notice of redemption to Warrant holders and (ii) at
all times between the date of such notice of redemption and the
redemption date a registration statement is in effect covering the
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current
prospectus relating to those Warrant Shares is
available.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Founder’s Warrants
shall be redeemable at the option of the Company so long as they
are held by GSC Secondary Interest Fund, LLC or a Permitted
Transferee; provided that the fact that one or more Founder’s
Warrants are non-redeemable because they are held by GSC Secondary
Interest Fund, LLC or a Permitted Transferee shall not affect the
Company’s right to redeem the Public Warrants and all
Founder’s Warrants that are not held by GSC Secondary
Interest Fund, LLC or a Permitted Transferee pursuant to the
preceding paragraph.
(c)
Exercise Procedure.
A
Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to the Company at the
principal stock transfer office of the Warrant Agent, which is
currently located at the address listed in Section 17 hereof, of
the certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrants to be
exercised with the form of election to purchase on the reverse
thereof duly filled in and signed and such other documentation as
the Warrant Agent may reasonably request, and upon payment to the
Warrant
5
Agent for the account of the Company
of the Exercise Price (adjusted as herein provided if applicable)
for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants
are then exercised. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall
be made in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to
the order of the Company in New York Clearing House Funds, or the
equivalent thereof. In no event will any Warrants be settled on a
net cash basis.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, upon such
surrender of Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price, the
Company shall issue and cause to be delivered with all reasonable
dispatch to and in such name or names as the Warrant holder may
designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full
Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants together
with cash as provided in Section 12 hereof. Such certificate or
certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so
designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a
holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the
surrender of such Warrants and payment of the Exercise
Price.
The
Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the holders
thereof, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the
event that a certificate evidencing Warrants is exercised in
respect of fewer than all of the Warrant Shares issuable on such
exercise at any time prior to the date of expiration of the
Warrants, a new certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant or
Warrants will be issued, and the Warrant Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized to countersign and to deliver the required
new Warrant Certificate or Certificates pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 6 and of Section 4 hereof, and the Company,
whenever required by the Warrant Agent, shall supply the Warrant
Agent with Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the
Company for such purpose. The Warrant Agent may assume that any
Warrant presented for exercise is permitted to be so exercised
under applicable law and shall have no liability for acting in
reliance on such assumption.
All
Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall be
canceled by the Warrant Agent. Such canceled Warrant Certificates
shall then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in its customary
manner. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company
with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the
Company all monies received by the Warrant Agent for the purchase
of the Warrant Shares through the exercise of such
Warrants.
The
Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices
given or received hereunder available for inspection by the holders
with reasonable prior written notice during normal business hours
at its office. The Company shall supply the Warrant Agent from time
to time with such numbers of copies of this Agreement as the
Warrant Agent may request.
Certificates evidencing Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of
a Founder’s Warrant shall contain the following
legend:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW,
AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
6
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND ANY
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH
REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WILL BE ENTITLED TO
REGISTRATION RIGHTS UNDER A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT TO BE
EXECUTED BY THE COMPANY.
(d)
Registration Requirement. Notwithstanding anything else in this
Section 6, no Warrant (including any Founder’s Warrant) may
be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration
statement covering the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise
(other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any
Founder’s Warrant) is effective under the Act and (ii) a
prospectus thereunder relating to the Warrant Shares (other than
Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Founder’s
Warrant) is current, and the Company shall use its best efforts to
have a registration statement in effect covering Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than Warrant Shares
to be issued upon exercise of any Founder’s Warrant) from the
date the Warrants become exercisable and to maintain a current
prospectus relating to those Warrant Shares until the Warrants
expire or are redeemed. In the event that, at the end of the
Warrant Exercise Period, a registration statement covering the
Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise (other than Warrant
Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Founder’s Warrant)
is not effective under the Act, all the rights of holders hereunder
shall terminate and all of the Warrants shall expire worthless. In
no event shall the Warrants be settled on a net cash basis during
the Warrant Exercise Period nor shall the Company be required to
issue unregistered shares upon the exercise of any Warrant that is
not a Founder’s Warrant.
(e)
Expiry Upon Liquidation of Trust Account. If the Company is
dissolved because it fails to effect an Initial Business
Combination, all of the rights of holders hereunder shall terminate
and all of the Warrants shall expire worthless.
SECTION 7. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all
documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided ,
however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any
tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any
certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the
registered holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the
exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver such Warrant Certificates unless or until the
person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid
to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to
the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been
paid.
SECTION 8. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. In case
any of the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall
countersign, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation
of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and
substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed,
a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an
equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to the Company and the
7
Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or
destruction of such Warrant Certificate and indemnity, also
satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. Applicants for
such new Warrant Certificates must pay such reasonable charges as
the Company may prescribe.
SECTION 9. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company will at
all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights,
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or
its authorized and issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for
the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue
Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the
exercise of all outstanding Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall have
no duty to verify availability of such shares set aside by the
Company.
The
Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Common Stock
(the " Transfer Agent ") and every subsequent
transfer agent for any shares of the Company’s Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of any of the Warrants will be
irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such
number of authorized shares as shall be required for such purpose.
The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the
Transfer Agent and with every subsequent transfer agent for any
shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of the Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably
authorized to requisition from time to time from such Transfer
Agent the stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants
upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The Company will supply such Transfer Agent with duly
executed certificates for such purposes and will provide or
otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided
in Section 12 hereof. The Company will furnish such Transfer Agent
a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related
thereto, transmitted to each holder pursuant to Section 13
hereof.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment
pursuant to Section 11 hereof to reduce the Exercise Price below
the then par value (if any) of the Warrant Shares, the Company will
take any commercially reasonable corporate action which may, in the
opinion of its counsel (which may be counsel employed by the
Company), be necessary in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares at the
Exercise Price as so adjusted.
The
Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon
exercise of Warrants will, upon payment of the Exercise Price
therefor and issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free of
preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and
security interests with respect to the issue thereof.
SECTION 10. Obtaining Stock Exchange Listings. The Company will
from time to time take all commercially reasonable actions which
may be necessary so that the Warrant Shares, immediately upon their
issuance upon the exercise of Warrants, will be listed on the
principal securities exchanges and markets within the United States
of America, if any, on which other shares of Common Stock are then
listed.
SECTION 11. Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares.
8
The
number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant
is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of
the events enumerated in this Section 11. For purposes of this
Section 11, " Common Stock " means shares now or
hereafter authorized of any class of common stock of the Company
and any other stock of the Company, however designated, that has
the right (subject to any prior rights of any class or series of
preferred stock) to participate in any distribution of the assets
or earnings of the Company without limit as to per share
amount.
(a)
Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.
If
the Company:
(1)
pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common Stock in
either case in shares of its Common Stock;
(2)
subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
number of shares;
(3)
combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares;
(4)
makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its capital
stock other than Common Stock; or
(5)
issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its
capital stock,
then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of each Warrant immediately prior to such action shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant
thereafter exercised shall receive the aggregate number and kind of
shares of capital stock of the Company which he would have owned
immediately following such action if such Warrant had been
exercised immediately prior to such action.
The
adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date
in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification.
Such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur.
(b)
Adjustment for Rights Issue.
If
the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all
holders of its Common Stock entitling them to purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the Closing Price per
share on the Business Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend
date for such distribution of rights, options or warrants, the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each
Warrant shall be adjusted in accordance with the
formula:
