WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an indenture dated as of [•] [(the “Indenture”), with [•], as trustee (together with any successors to such trustee, the “Trustee”), providing for the issuance from time to time of its [unsubordinated][subordinated] debt securities, to be issued in one or more series as provided in the Indenture (the “Debt Securities”);]
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell [If Warrants are sold with other securities — title of such other securities being offered (the “Other Securities”) with] warrant certificates evidencing one or more warrants (the “Warrants” or, individually, a “Warrant”) representing the right to purchase [title of Debt Securities purchasable through exercise of Warrants] (the “Warrant Debt Securities”), such warrant certificates and other warrant certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement (the “Warrant Certificates”); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing to act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer, exchange, exercise and replacement of the Warrant Certificates, and the Company wishes to set forth in this Agreement, among other things, the form and provisions of the Warrant Certificates and the terms and conditions on which they may be issued, registered, transferred, exchanged, exercised and replaced.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
1.1 Issuance of Warrants. [If Warrants alone — Upon issuance, each Warrant Certificate will evidence one or more Warrants.] [If Other Securities and Warrants — Warrant Certificates will be [initially] issued in connection with the issuance of the Other Securities but will be separately transferable and each Warrant Certificate will evidence one or more Warrants.] Each Warrant evidenced thereby will represent the right, subject to the provisions contained in this Agreement and in such Warrant Certificate, to purchase one Warrant Debt Security. [If Other Securities and Warrants — Warrant Certificates will be issued with the Other Securities and each Warrant Certificate will evidence [•] Warrants for each [$[•] principal amount] [[•] shares] of Other Securities issued].
1
1.2 Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, whenever issued, will be in registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, will be dated the date of its countersignature by the Warrant Agent and may have letters, numbers, or other marks of identification or designation and legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved on it, as the officers of the Company executing the Warrant Certificate may approve (execution of the Warrant Certificate to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant to it or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, or to conform to usage. The Warrant Certificates will be signed on behalf of the Company by any of its present or future chief executive officers, presidents, senior vice presidents, vice presidents, chief financial officers, chief legal officers, treasurers, assistant treasurers, controllers, assistant controllers, secretaries or assistant secretaries under its corporate seal reproduced on it. The signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.
No Warrant Certificate will be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced by it will l be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of the Warrant Agent. The signature of the Warrant Agent on any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company will be conclusive evidence that the countersigned Warrant Certificate has been duly issued under this Agreement.
In case any officer of the Company who signed any of the Warrant Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature ceases to be an officer before the Warrant Certificates have been countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Certificates may be countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that the person who signed such Warrant Certificates ceased to be an officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, who are the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such officer.
The term “holder” or “holder of a Warrant Certificate” as used in this Agreement will mean any person in whose name at the time any Warrant Certificate is registered on the books maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose.
1.3 Issuance of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates evidencing the right to purchase Warrant Debt Securities may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent on the execution of this Agreement or from time to time thereafter. The Warrant Agent will, upon receipt of Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign the Warrant Certificates and deliver the Warrant Certificates to, or upon the order of, the Company.

ARTICLE 2
WARRANT PRICE, DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
2.1 Warrant Price. During the period specified in Section 2.2, each Warrant will, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Warrant Certificate, entitle the holder of the Warrant Certificate to purchase the principal amount of Warrant Debt Securities specified in the applicable Warrant Certificate at an exercise price of [•]% of the principal amount thereof [plus accrued amortization, if any, of the original issue discount of the Warrant Debt Securities] [plus accrued interest, if any, from the most recent date from which interest will have been paid on the Warrant Debt Securities or, if no interest will have been paid on the Warrant Debt Securities, from the date of their initial issuance.] [The original issue discount ($[•] for each $1,000 principal amount of Warrant Debt Securities) will be amortized at a [•]% annual rate, computed on a[n] [semi-] annual basis [using a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months].] Such purchase price for the Warrant Debt Securities is referred to in this Agreement as the “Warrant Price.”
2.2 Duration of Warrants. Each Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time, as specified herein, on or after [the date thereof] [[•]] and at or before [•]p.m., [City] time, on [•] or such later date as the Company may designate by notice to the Warrant Agent and the holders of Warrant Certificates mailed to their addresses as set forth in the record books of the Warrant Agent (the “Expiration Date”). Each Warrant not exercised at or before [[•]] p.m., [City] time, on the Expiration Date will become void, and all rights of the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant under this Agreement will cease.
2.3 Exercise of Warrants.
(a) During the period specified in Section 2.2, the Warrants may be exercised to purchase a whole number of Warrant Debt Securities in registered form by providing certain information as set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate and by paying in full, in lawful funds of the United States of America, [in cash or by certified check or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds] [by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds] the Warrant Price for each Warrant Debt Security with respect to which a Warrant is being exercised to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office, provided that such exercise is subject to receipt within five business days of such payment by the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase Warrant Debt Securities set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed. The date on which payment in full of the Warrant Price is received by the Warrant Agent will, subject to receipt of the Warrant Certificate, be deemed to be the date on which the Warrant is exercised; except that if, at the date of receipt of such Warrant Certificates and payment in full of the Warrant Price, the transfer books for the Warrant Debt Securities purchasable on the exercise of such Warrants will be closed, no receipt of such Warrant Certificates and no payment of such Warrant Price will be effective to name the designated person as the holder of record of such Warrant Debt Securities on such date, but will be effective to constitute such person as the holder of record of such Warrant Debt Securities for all purposes at the opening of business on the next succeeding day on which the transfer books for the Warrant Debt Securities purchasable upon the exercise of such Warrants will be opened, and the certificates for the Warrant Debt Securities in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised will be issuable as of the next succeeding day on which the transfer books will be opened, and until such date the Company will be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Warrant Debt Securities. The Warrant Agent will deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Warrant Price in an account of the Company maintained with it and will advise the Company by telephone at the end of each day on which a payment for the exercise of Warrants is received of the amount so deposited to its account. The Warrant Agent will promptly confirm such telephone advice to the Company in writing.
3
(b) The Warrant Agent will, from time to time, as promptly as practicable, advise the Company of (i) the number of Warrant Debt Securities with respect to which Warrants were exercised, (ii) the instructions of each holder of the Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants with respect to delivery of the Warrant Debt Securities to which each holder is entitled upon exercise, (iii) delivery of Warrant Certificates evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants for the remaining Warrant Debt Securities after exercise, and (iv) any other information as the Company or the Trustee will reasonably require.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant, the Company will issue, pursuant to the Indenture, in authorized denominations, to or on the order of the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant, the Warrant Debt Securities to which the holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in the name or names directed by the holder. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate are exercised, the Company will execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent will manually countersign and deliver, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing Warrants for the number of Warrant Debt Securities remaining unexercised.
(d) The Company will not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of the Warrant Debt Securities, and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company will not be required to issue or deliver any Warrant Debt Securities until the tax or other charge has been paid or it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.
(e) Prior to the issuance of any Warrants there must be a reserve, and the Company will at all times through the Expiration Date keep reserved, out of its authorized but unissued Warrant Debt Securities, a number of shares sufficient to provide for the exercise of the Warrants.
ARTICLE 3
OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO
RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
3.1 No Rights as Holders of Warrant Debt Securities Conferred by Warrants or Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate or Warrant evidenced by a Warrant Certificate will entitle the holder to any of the rights of a holder of Warrant Debt Securities, including, without limitation, the right to receive 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.
3.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it and the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon
4
surrender of the mutilated Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent for cancellation, 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 will execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent will manually countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and evidencing Warrants for a like principal amount of Warrant Debt Securities. Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate under this Section 3.2, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to the new issuance and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection therewith. Every substitute Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 3.2 in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate will represent an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate will be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions of this Section 3.2 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates.
3.3 Holder of Warrant Certificate May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, any holder of a 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, in such holder’s own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, each holder’s right to exercise the Warrants evidenced by the holder’s Warrant Certificate in the manner provided in the holder’s Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.
3.4 Merger, Sale, Conveyance or Lease. In case of (a) any share exchange, merger or similar transaction of the Company with or into another person or entity (other than a share exchange, merger or similar transaction in which the Company is the acquiring or surviving corporation) or (b) the sale, exchange, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety (in any such case, a “Reorganization Event”), then, as a condition of such Reorganization Event, lawful provisions will be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company’s successor will be delivered to the holders of the Warrants, so that such successor will succeed to and be substituted for the Company, and assume all the Company’s obligations under, this Agreement and the Warrants. The Company will then be relieved of any further obligation under this Agreement or under the Warrants, and the Company as the predecessor corporation may or at any time after be dissolved, wound up or liquidated. Such successor or assuming entity may then cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Warrants issuable under this Agreement which previously will not have been signed by the Company, and may execute and deliver securities in its own name, in fulfillment of its obligations to deliver Warrant Debt Securities upon exercise of the Warrants. All issued Warrants will have, in all respects, the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Warrants issued before or after in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such Warrants had been issued at the date of the execution of this Agreement. In the case of any such Reorganization Event, changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Warrants to be issued as may be appropriate. The Warrant Agent may receive a written opinion of legal counsel as conclusive evidence that the Reorganization Event complies with the provisions of this Section 3.4.
5
3.5 Notice to Warrantholders. In case the Company (a) effects any Reorganization Event or (b) makes any distribution on or in respect of the [title of Warrant Debt Securities] in connection with the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then the Company will mail to each holder of Warrants at each holder’s address as it appears on the books of the Warrant Agent, at least ten days prior to the applicable date specified below, a notice stating the date on which such Reorganization Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of [title of Warrant Debt Securities] of record are entitled to exchange their shares of [title of Warrant Debt Securities] for securities or other property deliverable upon such Reorganization Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. No failure to mail such notice nor any defect in the notice or in the mailing will affect any such transaction.
ARTICLE 4
EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
4.1 Exchange and Transfer of Warrant Certificates. Upon surrender at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent, Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants may be exchanged for Warrant Certificates in other denominations evidencing the Warrants or the transfer of the Warrants may be registered in whole or in part; as long as the other Warrant Certificates evidence Warrants for the same aggregate principal amount of Warrant Debt Securities as the Warrant Certificates surrendered. The Warrant Agent will keep, at its corporate trust office, books in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrant Certificates, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificates to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office for exchange or registration of transfer, properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of registration of transfer and written instructions for transfer, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. There will be no service charge for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with the exchange or registration of transfer. Whenever Warrant Certificates are surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent will manually countersign and deliver to the person or persons entitled to it, a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates duly authorized and executed by the Company, as so requested. The Warrant Agent will not be required to effect any exchange or registration of transfer which will result in the issuance of a Warrant Certificate evidencing a Warrant for a fraction of a Warrant Debt Security or a number of Warrants for a whole number of Warrant Debt Securities and a fraction of a Warrant Debt Security. All Warrant Certificates issued upon any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificate surrendered for such exchange or registration of transfer.
6
4.2 Treatment of Holders of Warrant Certificates. The Company, the Warrant Agent and all other persons may treat the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner of the Warrant Certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.
4.3 Cancellation of Warrant Certificates. Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for exchange, registration of transfer or exercise of the Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate, if surrendered to the Company, be delivered to the Warrant Agent and all Warrant Certificates surrendered or so delivered to the Warrant Agent be promptly canceled by the Warrant Agent and will not be reissued and, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Warrant Certificate will be issued under this Agreement in exchange for a Warrant Certificate or in lieu of it. The Warrant Agent will deliver to the Company from time to time or otherwise dispose of canceled Warrant Certificates in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
