Form of Warrant Agreement
THIS WARRANT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is dated as of ________________,
between Triton PCS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
_________________, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent").
WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell warrants (the "Warrants" or,
individually a "Warrant") evidenced by warrant certificates (the "Warrant
Certificates") representing the right to purchase [title of securities] (the
"Warrant Securities"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company 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 mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
ARTICLE 1
Issuance of Warrants and Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates
Section 1.1 Issuance of Warrants. Warrant Certificates evidencing the right to
--------------------
purchase an aggregate principal amount not exceeding ______ of Warrant
Securities 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, countersign the Warrant Certificates and shall deliver
such Warrant Certificates to or upon the order of the Company. Each Warrant
Certificate shall evidence one or more Warrants, and each Warrant shall
represent the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and therein, to
purchase a Warrant Security for the principal amount of [$__________].
Subsequent to such original issuance of the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant
Agent shall countersign a Warrant Certificate only if the Warrant Certificate is
issued in exchange or substitution for one or more previously countersigned
Warrant Certificates or in connection with their transfer, as hereinafter
provided or as provided in Section 2.3(c).
Section 1.2 Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates.
----------------------------------------------
(a) Each Warrant Certificate, whenever issued, shall be in
registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto,
---------
shall be dated the date of its issuance and may have such letters, numbers
or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or
endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the officers of
the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be
conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement. The Warrant Certificates shall be signed on
behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, its President, one of
its Vice Presidents, its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers under
its corporate seal and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant
Secretaries. Such
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.
(b) No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and
no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Warrant
Certificate has been countersigned 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 that the Warrant
Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.
(c) In case any officer of the Company who has signed any of the
Warrant Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature ceases to be
such officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed have been
countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent, such Warrant Certificates
shall be countersigned and delivered with the same effect as if such person
who signed such Warrant Certificates 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, is a proper officer of the Company, although at the
date of the execution of this Agreement such person was not such an
officer.
(d) The term "Warrant Holder" shall mean any person who is a
registered holder of a Warrant Certificate, registered upon the books
maintained by the Warrant Agent with respect to the Warrants.
ARTICLE 2
Warrant Price, Duration and Exercise Of Warrants
Section 2.1 Warrant Price. Each Warrant shall have an exercise price (the
-------------
"Warrant Price") of [$__________] per share of each underlying Warrant Security.
Section 2.2 Duration of Warrants. Each Warrant may be exercised in whole at
--------------------
any time, as specified herein, on or after [_________, ____,] and at or before 5
p.m. New York time on [__________________] (the "Expiration Date"). Each
Warrant not exercised at or before 5 p.m. New York time on the Expiration Date
shall become void, and all rights of each Warrant Holder under this Agreement
shall cease.
Section 2.3 Exercise of Warrants.
--------------------
(a) During the period specified in Section 2.2, any whole number
of Warrants may be exercised by providing certain information set forth on
the reverse side of the respective Warrant Certificate and by paying in
full, in lawful money of the United States of America in cash, by certified
check or official bank check or by bank wire transfer, in each case, in
immediately available funds, the Warrant Price for each Warrant exercised,
to the Warrant Agent at [_______________]; provided that such exercise is
subject to receipt by the Warrant Agent, within three business days of such
payment, of the Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase
Warrant Securities set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate
properly completed and duly executed. The later of the date on which
payment in full of the Warrant Price is received by the Warrant Agent or
the date of receipt of the Warrant Certificate as aforesaid, shall be
deemed to be the date on which such Warrant is exercised (the "Exercise
Date"). The Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it with
respect to payment of the Warrant Price in an account in the name of the
Company maintained with the Warrant Agent and shall notify 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 shall promptly confirm such telephone notice to the Company in
writing.
(b) The Warrant Agent shall, as promptly as practicable after the
exercise of any Warrants, advise the Company of (i) the number of Warrants
exercised, (ii) the instructions of each Warrant Holder with respect to
delivery of the Warrant Securities to which such Warrant Holder is entitled
upon such exercise, (iii) delivery of Warrant Certificates evidencing the
balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise, and (iv)
such other information as the Company shall reasonably require.
-2-
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant, the
Company shall issue, in authorized denominations to or upon the order of
the Warrant Holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant,
certificates evidencing the total number of whole shares of the Warrant
Securities to which such Warrant Holder is entitled in fully registered
form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such holder.
Such certificate or certificates evidencing the Warrant Securities shall be
deemed to have been issued and any persons who are designated to be named
therein shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant
Securities as of the close of business on the Exercise Date. No fractional
Warrant Securities will be issued upon exercise of any Warrant. For each
fractional Warrant Security that would otherwise be issued, the Company
will pay by company check in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the closing sales price of the Warrant Securities on the principal national
securities exchange on which they are listed (or if not so listed, another
equivalent means reasonably determined by the Company) on the business day
immediately preceding the Exercise Date (the "Closing Price"). If fewer
than all of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate are
exercised, the Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the
Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver, a new Warrant
Certificate evidencing the number of such Warrants remaining unexercised.
(d) In addition to the rights of the Warrant Holder set forth
herein, during the period specified in Section 2.2, in lieu of paying the
exercise price in cash, the Warrant Holder shall have the right, by
delivering to the Warrant Agent a Warrant Certificate with the form of
election to purchase Warrant Securities set forth on the reverse side of
the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed and by
otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement, to exercise any
Warrant in a cashless exercise for the number of shares of Warrant
Securities determined in accordance with the following formula:
(M - E)
N = ----------------- x W
M
where:
N = the actual number of shares of Warrant Securities to be issued
upon such cashless exercise of the applicable Warrant;
M = the Closing Price;
E = the Warrant Price; and
W = the number of Warrant Securities with respect to which the
Warrant Holder is exercising the applicable Warrant.
(e) The Company shall 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 Securities; and in the event
that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to
issue or deliver any Warrant Security until such tax or other charge shall
have been paid or it has been established to the Company's satisfaction
that no such tax or other charge is due.
ARTICLE 3
Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrant Certificates
Section 3.1 No Rights as Warrant Security Holder Conferred by Warrants or
-------------------------------------------------------------
Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate or Warrant evidenced thereby shall
--------------------
entitle a Warrant Holder to any of the rights of a holder of Warrant Securities,
either at law or equity, and the rights of each Warrant Holder are limited to
those rights expressly provided in this Agreement and in the Warrant
Certificates.
Section 3.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates. Upon
---------------------------------------------------------
receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it from a
Warrant Holder of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to the Warrant Agent,
-3-
and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of such 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 shall execute, and an authorized officer of
the Warrant Agent shall 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 a like number of Warrants.
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
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection
therewith. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates.
ARTICLE 4
Exchange and Transfer of Warrant Certificates
Section 4.1 Exchange and Transfer of Warrant Certificates. Warrant
---------------------------------------------
Certificates evidencing Warrants may be exchanged for Warrant Certificates in
other denominations evidencing such Warrants or the transfer thereof may be
registered in whole or in part; provided that such other Warrant Certificates
evidence the same aggregate number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificates so
surrendered. The Warrant Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office [and
at __________] books in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, it shall 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 [or at __________] 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. No service charge
shall be made 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 any such exchange or registration of transfer. Whenever any
Warrant Certificates are so surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer
an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and
deliver to the person or persons entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates duly authorized and executed by the Company, as so
requested. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any exchange or
registration of transfer which will result in the issuance of a Warrant
Certificate evidencing a fraction of a Warrant. All Warrant Certificates issued
upon any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates issued
upon any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates shall be
the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrant Certificates
surrendered for such exchange or registration of transfer.
Section 4.2 Treatment of Holders of Warrant Certificates. Every holder of a
--------------------------------------------
Warrant Certificate, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the
Company, the Warrant Agent and with every subsequent holder of such Warrant
Certificate that until the transfer of the Warrant Certificate is registered on
the books of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the
registered holder as the absolute 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 4.3 Cancellation Of Warrant Certificates. Any Warrant Certificate
------------------------------------
surrendered for exchange, registration of transfer or exercise of the Warrants
evidenced thereby shall, if surrendered to the Company, be delivered to the
Warrant Agent and all Warrant Certificates surrendered or so delivered to the
Warrant Agent shall be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent and shall not be
reissued and, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Warrant
Certificate shall be issued hereunder in exchange or in lieu thereof. The
Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Company from time to time or otherwise
dispose of cancelled Warrant Certificates in a manner satisfactory to the
Company.
ARTICLE 5
Adjustments
Section 5.1 Merger. If at any time there shall be a merger or consolidation of
------
the Company with or into another corporation when the Company is not the
surviving corporation, then, as part of such merger or consolidation, lawful
provision shall be made so that the Warrant Holder shall thereafter be entitled
to receive upon
-4-
exercise of rights herein granted, during the period specified herein and upon
payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property of the successor corporation resulting from such merger
or consolidation, to which a holder of the stock deliverable upon exercise of
the rights granted in this Warrant Agreement would have been entitled in such
merger or consolidation if such rights had been exercised immediately before
such merger or consolidation. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be
made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement with respect
to the rights and interests of the Warrant Holder after the merger or
consolidation.
Section 5.2 Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time shall, by
---------------------
subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities or otherwise, change
any of the Warrant Securities into the same or a different number of securities
of any other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent
the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been
issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Warrant Securities
which were subject to the subdivision, combination, reclassification or other
change.
Section 5.3 Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any
-------------------------------------------
time shall split or subdivide the applicable Warrant Securities, the Warrant
Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of shares issuable
pursuant to this Warrant Agreement shall be proportionately increased. If the
Company at any time shall combine or reverse split the applicable Warrant
Securities, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number
of shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant Agreement shall be proportionately
decreased.
Section 5.4 Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time shall pay a dividend
---------------
payable in the applicable Warrant Securities, then the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price
in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (i) the
numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of the applicable Warrant
Securities outstanding immediately prior to such dividend and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of the applicable
Warrant Securities outstanding immediately after such dividend. The Warrant
Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Price resulting
from such adjustment, the number of shares of the applicable Warrant Securities
(calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying (i) the Warrant
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by (ii) the number of
shares of the applicable Warrant Securities issuable upon the exercise hereof
immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the
Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment.

unless the Company otherwise agrees. The Warrant Agent hereunder may be removed
at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on

conservation or liquidation, 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 successor Warrant Agent of such appointment,
the Warrant Agent shall cease to be Warrant Agent hereunder.

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,
