Each Founder's Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock. Founder's Warrants are identical to the warrants currently being offered by the Hicks Acquisition Company I, Inc. (the "Issuer"), except for those differences set forth in the Issuer's Form S-1 filed with the Commission on June 14, 2007, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, the Founder's Warrants may not be exercised unless and until the last sale price of the Issuer' common stock equals or exceeds $13.75 for any 20 days within any 30 day trading period beginning 90 days after the Issuer's initial business combination, and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, four years from the date of the Issuer's final prospectus.
