Now,
Therefore, in
consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto 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 shall evidence one or more
Warrants.] [If Other Securities and Warrants—Warrant
Certificates shall be [initially] issued in connection with the
issuance of the Other Securities [but shall be separately
transferable on and after
(the “ Detachable Date ”)] [and shall not
be separately transferable] and each Warrant Certificate shall
evidence one or more Warrants.] Each Warrant evidenced thereby
shall represent the right, subject to the provisions contained
herein and therein, to purchase one Warrant Debt Security. [If
Other Securities and Warrants—Warrant Certificates shall be
initially issued in units with the Other Securities and each
Warrant Certificate included in such a unit shall evidence
Warrants for each [$
principal amount] [
shares] of Other Securities included in such unit].
1.2
Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. 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 countersignature by the Warrant
Agent 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, or 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 Warrants may be listed, or to conform to usage. The
Warrant Certificates shall 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 thereon. 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.
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.
In case any officer of the Company who shall
have signed any of the Warrant Certificates either manually or by
facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before the
Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned and
delivered by the Warrant Agent, such Warrant Certificates may be
countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that the person who
signed Warrant Certificates ceased to be such officer of the
Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the
Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of
such Warrant Certificate, shall be 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 herein shall mean any
person in whose name at the time any Warrant Certificate shall be
registered upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for
that purpose [If Other Securities and Warrants are not immediately
detachable—or upon the registration of the Other Securities
prior to the Detachable Date. Prior to the Detachable Date, the
Company will, or will cause the registrar of the Other Securities
to, make available at all times to the Warrant Agent such
information as to holders of the Other Securities as may be
necessary to keep the Warrant Agent’s records up to
date].
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 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
such Warrant Certificates and shall deliver such 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 shall, subject to the terms of this Warrant Agreement
and the applicable Warrant Certificate, entitle the holder thereof,
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 shall have been paid on the Warrant Debt Securities
or, if no interest shall 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 shall become void, and
all rights of the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such
Warrant under this Agreement shall 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
money 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 shall, subject to receipt of the Warrant Certificate
as aforesaid, be deemed to be the date on which the Warrant is
exercised; provided, however, 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 upon
the exercise of such Warrants shall be closed, no such receipt of
such Warrant Certificates and no such payment of such Warrant Price
shall be effective to constitute the person so designated to be
named as the holder of record of such Warrant Debt Securities on
such date, but shall 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 shall be opened, and the certificates for
the Warrant Debt Securities in respect of which such Warrants are
then exercised shall be issuable as of the date on such next
succeeding day on which the transfer books shall next be opened,
and until such date the Company shall be under no duty to deliver
any certificate for such Warrant Debt Securities. The Warrant Agent
shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Warrant
Price in an account of the Company maintained with it and shall
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 shall promptly confirm
such telephone advice to the Company in writing.
(b) The
Warrant Agent shall, 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
such Warrants with respect to delivery of the Warrant Debt
Securities to which such holder is entitled upon such exercise,
(iii) delivery of Warrant Certificates evidencing the balance, if
any, of the Warrants for the remaining Warrant Debt Securities
after such exercise, and (iv) such other information as the Company
or the [Senior] [Subordinated] Trustee shall reasonably
require.
(c) As
soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant, the Company
shall issue, pursuant to the Indenture, in authorized
denominations, to or upon the order of the holder of the Warrant
Certificate evidencing such Warrant, the Warrant Debt Securities to
which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered
in such name or names as may be directed by such holder. 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 Warrants for the number of Warrant
Debt Securities remaining unexercised.
(d) 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 Debt Securities,
and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver any Warrant Debt
Securities 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.
(e) Prior
to the issuance of any Warrants there shall have been reserved, and
the Company shall 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 thereby shall entitle the holder thereof 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
and/or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and
the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon 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 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 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 thereto 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 shall represent an
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone, and shall 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 shall 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 any Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant
Agent, the [Senior] [Subordinated] 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, such holder’s right to
exercise the Warrants evidenced by such holder’s Warrant
Certificate in the manner provided in such 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 shall be
made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the
Company’s successor shall be delivered to the holders of the
Warrants, so that such successor shall succeed to and be
substituted for the Company, and assume all the Company’s
obligations under, this Agreement and the Warrants. The Company
shall thereupon be relieved of any further obligation hereunder or
under the Warrants, and the Company as the predecessor corporation
may thereupon or at any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or
liquidated. Such successor or assuming entity 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 Warrants issuable hereunder which
heretofore shall 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 the Warrants so issued shall in all respects have
the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the
Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement as though all of such Warrants had been
issued at the date of the execution hereof. In any case of any such
Reorganization Event, such changes in phraseology and form (but not
in substance) may be made in the Warrants thereafter to be issued
as may be appropriate.
3.5
Notice To Warrantholders. In case the Company shall (a)
effect any Reorganization Event or (b) make 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 shall mail to each holder of Warrants at such
holder’s address as it shall appear on the books of the
Warrant Agent, at least ten days prior to the applicable date
hereinafter specified, 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 shall be 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 therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect any such
transaction.
