THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT, dated as of __________, 19__, between DC
Holdco, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Delaware (the "Company") and _____________________, a [corporation]
[national banking association] organized and existing under the laws of
_______________, as Warrant Agent (herein called the "Warrant Agent").
WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Indenture (the "Indenture")
dated as of ____________, ____ with [ ] as trustee (such
trustee, and any successors to such trustee, herein called the "Trustee"),
providing for the issuance from time to time, in one or more series, of its
[Senior] [Senior Subordinated] [Subordinated] Debt Securities; and
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell [IF OFFERED DEBT SECURITIES AND
WARRANTS -- [title of Debt Securities being offered] (the "Offered Debt
Securities") with] warrant certificates (such warrant certificates and other
warrant certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement herein called the
"Warrant Certificates") evidencing one or more warrants ("Warrants" or,
individually, a "Warrant") representing the right to purchase [title of Debt
Securities purchasable through exercise of Warrants ] (the "Warrant Debt
Securities"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the
issuance, exchange, exercise and replacement of the Warrant Certificates, and in
this Agreement wishes to set forth, among other things, the form and provisions
of the Warrant Certificates and the terms and conditions on which they may be
issued, exchanged, exercised and replaced;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1
ARTICLE I
ISSUANCE, EXECUTION AND COUNTERSIGNATURE
OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
Section 1.1 ISSUANCE OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. [IF WARRANTS ALONE --
Upon issuance, each Warrant Certificate shall evidence one or more Warrants.]
[IF OFFERED DEBT SECURITIES AND WARRANTS -- Warrant Certificates shall be
[initially] issued in units with the Offered Debt Securities and shall [not] be
separately transferable [before ____________, 19__ (the "Detachable Date")].
Each such unit shall consist of a Warrant Certificate or Certificates evidencing
an aggregate of ____ Warrants for each $___________ principal amount of Offered
Debt Securities.] Each Warrant evidenced thereby shall represent the right,
subject to the provisions contained herein and therein, to purchase Warrant Debt
Securities in the aggregate principal amount of $________.
Section 1.2 FORM OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. The Warrant Certificates
(including the Form[s] of Exercise [and Assignment] to be set forth on the
reverse thereof) shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A
hereto, shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders (or
in any other manner determined by the officers executing such Warrant
Certificates, with the execution thereof by such officers conclusively
evidencing such determination) and may have such letters, numbers or other marks
of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange on which the
Warrant Certificates may be listed or as may, consistently herewith, be
determined by the officers executing such Warrant Certificates, with the
execution thereof by such officers conclusively evidencing such determination.
Section 1.3 EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES.
The Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer, it President or one of its Vice
Presidents (any reference to a Vice President of the Company herein shall be
deemed to include any Vice President of the Company whether or not designated by
a number or a word or words added before or after the title "Vice President")
under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested to by its Treasurer or
Secretary or one of its Assistant Treasurers or Assistant Secretaries. The
signature of any of these officers on the Warrant Certificates may be manual or
facsimile.
2
Warrant Certificates evidencing the right to purchase an aggregate
principal amount not exceeding $____________ of Warrant Debt Securities (except
as provided in Sections 1.4, 2.3(c), 4.1 and 4.2) may be executed by the Company
and delivered to the Warrant Agent upon the execution of this Warrant Agreement
or from time to time thereafter. The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of
Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, authenticate
Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants representing the right to purchase up
to $_____________ aggregate principal amount of Warrant Debt Securities and
shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to or upon the order of the Company.
Subsequent to such original issuance of the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant
Agent shall authenticate a Warrant Certificate only if the Warrant Certificate
is issued in exchange or substitution for one or more previously authenticated
Warrant Certificates [IF REGISTERED WARRANTS -- or in connection with their
transfer], as hereinafter provided.
Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication
by the Warrant Agent.
No Warrant Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced
thereby shall be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been
authenticated by the manual signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by
the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Warrant Certificate so
authenticated has been duly issued hereunder.
Warrant Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at the time the proper officers of the Company shall bind
the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Warrant
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Warrant
Certificates.
Section 1.4 TEMPORARY WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Pending the preparation
of definitive Warrant Certificates, the Company may execute, and upon the order
of the Company the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Warrant Certificates which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed
or otherwise produced, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Warrant
Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing
3
such Warrant Certificates may determine, with the execution thereof by such
officers conclusively evidencing such determination.
If temporary Warrant Certificates are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Warrant Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After
the preparation of definitive Warrant Certificates, the temporary Warrant
Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Warrant Certificates upon
surrender of the temporary Warrant Certificates at the corporate trust office of
the Warrant Agent [or ], without charge to the Holder (as defined in
Section 1.6 below). Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Warrant Certificates the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Warrant
Certificates representing the same aggregate number of Warrants. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Warrant Certificates shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Warrant Certificates.
Section 1.5 PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all stamp taxes
and other duties, if any, to which, under the laws of the United States of
America or any State or political subdivision thereof, this Agreement or the
original issuance of the Warrant Certificates may be subject.
Section 1.6 DEFINITION OF HOLDER. The term "Holder" as used herein
shall mean [IF OFFERED DEBT SECURITIES AND WARRANTS WHICH ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY
DETACHABLE --, prior to the Detachable Date, the registered owner of the Offered
Debt Security to which such Warrant Certificate was initially attached, and,
after such Detachable Date,] [if bearer Warrants, the bearer of such Warrant
Certificates] [if registered Warrants, the person in whose name at the time such
Warrant Certificate shall be registered upon the books to be maintained by the
Warrant Agent for that purpose pursuant to Section 4.1]. [IF OFFERED DEBT
SECURITIES AND WARRANTS WHICH ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY DETACHABLE -- Prior to the
Detachable Date, the Company will, or will cause the registrar of the Offered

trust office of the Warrant Agent [or____ ____ ______] of Warrant Certificates
properly endorsed [or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer] and
accompanied by written instructions for [transfer or] exchange, all in a form
satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent, such Warrant Certificates may
be exchanged for other Warrant Certificates [IF REGISTERED WARRANTS -- or may be
transferred in whole or in part]; provided that Warrant Certificates issued in
exchange for [or upon transfer of] surrendered Warrant Certificates shall
evidence the same aggregate number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificates so
surrendered. No service charge shall be made for any exchange [or transfer] of
Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any stamp or other tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any such exchange [or transfer]. Whenever any Warrant
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange [or transfer], the Company shall
execute and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually

Certificate or Warrant Certificates as so requested. The Warrant Agent shall
not be required to effect any exchange [or transfer] which would result in the
issuance of a Warrant Certificate evidencing a fraction of a Warrant or a number

upon any exchange [or transfer] of Warrant Certificates shall evidence the same
obligations, and be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the

Warrant Agent, the Company shall execute and an officer of the Warrant Agent

(i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Warrant Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (ii) such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of
either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the
Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request an officer of the
Warrant Agent shall manually authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance
of any new Warrant Certificate under this Section, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
8
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) connected
therewith. Every new Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in lieu
of any destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant Certificate shall evidence an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed,
lost or stolen Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and
proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly issued
hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant Certificates.
Section 4.3 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. [IF OFFERED DEBT SECURITIES AND
WARRANTS WHICH ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY DETACHABLE -- Prior to the Detachable Date,
the Company, the Warrant Agent and all other persons may treat the registered
owner of any Offered Debt Security as the owner of the Warrant Certificates
initially attached thereto for any purpose and as the person entitled to
exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant
Certificates, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding. After the Detachable
Date,] [IF REGISTERED WARRANTS -- and prior to due presentment of a Warrant
Certificate for registration of transfer, the] [IF OFFERED DEBT SECURITIES AND
WARRANTS WHICH ARE IMMEDIATELY DETACHABLE OR WARRANTS ALONE -- The] Company, the
Warrant Agent and all other persons may treat the Holder as the owner thereof
for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by
the Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 4.4 CANCELLATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Any Warrant
Certificate surrendered for exchange [, transfer] or exercise of the Warrants
evidenced thereby shall, if surrendered to the Company, be delivered to the
Warrant Agent, and [IF WARRANT CERTIFICATES ARE ISSUED IN BEARER FORM -- ,
except as provided below,] all Warrant Certificates surrendered or so delivered
to the Warrant Agent shall be promptly cancelled by it and shall not be reissued
and, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Warrant Certificate
shall be issued hereunder in lieu or in exchange thereof. [IF WARRANT
CERTIFICATES ARE ISSUED IN BEARER FORM -- Warrant Certificates delivered to the
Warrant Agent in exchange for Warrant Certificates of other denominations may be
retained by the Warrant Agent for reissue as authorized hereunder.] The Company
may at any time deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation any Warrant
Certificates previously issued hereunder which the Company may have acquired in
any manner whatsoever, and all Warrant Certificates so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent. All cancelled Warrant Certificates held
by the
9
Warrant Agent shall be disposed of, as instructed by the Company, subject to
applicable law.
ARTICLE V
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS
OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
Section 5.1 NO RIGHTS AS HOLDERS OF WARRANT DEBT SECURITIES CONFERRED
BY WARRANTS OR WARRANT CERTIFICATES. No Warrant Certificate or Warrant evidenced
thereby shall entitle the Holder thereof to any of the rights of a Holder of the

payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Warrant
Debt Securities or to enforce any of the covenants in the Indenture.

Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant Agent, the Trustee, the
holder of any Warrant Debt Securities or the Holder of any other Warrant
Certificate, may, on its own behalf and for its own benefit, enforce, and may
institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company
suitable to enforce or otherwise in respect of its right to exercise the Warrant
or Warrants evidenced by his or her Warrant Certificate in the manner provided
in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI

conditions herein set forth, and ____________________________ hereby accepts
such appointment. The Warrant Agent shall have the power and authority granted
to and conferred upon it in the Warrant Certificates and hereby and such further
power and authority to act on behalf of the Company as the Company may hereafter
grant to or confer upon it. All of the terms and provisions with respect

Agent accepts its obligations herein set forth, upon the terms and conditions
hereof, including the following, to all of which the Company agrees and to all
of which the rights hereunder of the Holders from time to time of the Warrant
Certificates shall be subject:
(a) COMPENSATION AND INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees promptly
to pay the Warrant Agent the compensation to be agreed upon with the Company for
all services rendered by the Warrant Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent
for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees)
incurred by the Warrant Agent in connection with the services rendered hereunder
by the Warrant Agent. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent
for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred
without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, arising out of
or in connection with its acting as such Warrant Agent hereunder, including the
reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance at any time of its powers or
duties hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this subsection (a) shall
survive the exercise of the Warrant Certificates and the resignation or removal
of the Warrant Agent.
(b) AGENT FOR THE COMPANY. In acting under this Warrant
Agreement and in connection with the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent is
acting solely as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligation or
relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the owners or Holders of the

(c) COUNSEL. The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel, which
may include counsel for the Company, and the written advice of such counsel

taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon.
(d) DOCUMENTS. The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall
incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted by it in

(e) CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. The Warrant Agent, any of its
officers, directors and employees, or any other agent of the Company, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner of, or acquire any
interest in, any Warrant Certificates, with the same rights that it would have
if it were not such Warrant Agent, officer, director, employee or other agent,
and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, it may engage or be interested
in any financial or other transaction with the Company and may act on, or as
depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of Warrant
Debt Securities or other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not
such Warrant Agent, officer, director, employee or other agent. Nothing in this
Warrant Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Warrant Agent from acting as
Trustee under the Indenture.
(f) NO LIABILITY FOR INTEREST. The Warrant Agent shall not be
under any liability for interest on any monies at any time received by it
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Warrant
Certificates unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and the

to perform such duties as are herein and in the Warrant Certificates

the use by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates authenticated by the

application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrant Certificates or any
exercise of the Warrants evidenced thereby. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty
or responsibility in case of any default by the Company in the performance of
its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or
in the Warrant Debt Securities or in the case of the receipt of any written
demand from a Holder of a Warrant Certificate with respect to such default,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any duty or
responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceeding at law or
otherwise or, except as provided in Section 7.4 hereof, to make any demand upon
the Company.
Section 6.3 RESIGNATION, REMOVAL AND APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a)
The Company agrees, for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the
Warrant Certificates, that there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder
until all of the Warrant Certificates are no longer exercisable.
(b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such agent by
giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying
the date on which it desires its resignation to become effective; provided that,
without the consent of the Company, such date shall not be less than three
months after the date on which such notice is given. The Warrant Agent hereunder
may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing
signed by or on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and the date
on which the Company expects such removal to become effective. Such resignation
or removal shall take effect upon the appointment by the Company of a successor
Warrant Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers) by an instrument in writing filed with such successor Warrant
Agent and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Warrant Agent
pursuant to Section 6.3(d).
(c) In case at any time the Warrant Agent shall resign, or be
removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors or consent to the appointment of a
receiver or custodian of all or any substantial part of its property, or shall
admit in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if a
receiver or custodian of it or of all or any substantial part of its property
shall be appointed, or if an order of any court shall be entered approving any
petition filed by or against it under
13
the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy or similar law, or if any public
officer shall have taken charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of its
property or affairs, a successor Warrant Agent, qualified as aforesaid, shall be
appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing, filed with the successor
Warrant Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Warrant Agent
and acceptance by the latter of such appointment, the Warrant Agent so
superseded shall cease to be Warrant Agent hereunder.
(d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor
Warrant Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and
obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as
Warrant Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and
disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver
and pay over, and such successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all
monies, securities and other property on deposit with or held by such
predecessor, as Warrant Agent hereunder.
(e) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be
merged or converted or any corporation with which the Warrant Agent may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the
Warrant Agent, provided that it shall be qualified as aforesaid, shall be the
successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 7.2 RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF SUCCESSOR CORPORATION. In case of
any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance and upon any such
assumption by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall
succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had
been named herein, and the predecessor corporation, except in the event of a
lease, shall be relieved of any further obligation under this Agreement and the
Warrants. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may
issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the
Warrant Debt Securities issuable pursuant to the terms hereof. All the Warrant
Debt Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and
benefit under the Indenture as the Warrant Debt Securities theretofore or
thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the

affected shall be required for any amendment pursuant to which the Warrant Price
would be increased or the number of Debt Securities purchasable upon exercise of
Warrants would be decreased. The Warrant Agent may, but shall not be obligated
