NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND FORM,
EXECUTION,
DELIVERY AND REGISTRATION OF
WARRANT CERTIFICATES
SECTION 1.01. Issuance of
Warrants . Each Warrant shall represent the right, subject to
the provisions contained herein and therein, to purchase [
] Warrant Securities [in the aggregate principal amount of
$________] at the Exercise Price set forth in Section 2.01.
[If Securities and Warrants are to be offered together - Warrants
shall be issued in units with the Offered Securities [If Warrants
are not immediately detachable - and shall not be separately
transferable [Unless Warrants are not detachable: before ________
__, ____ (the “Detachment Date”)]] .] [If Warrants are
to be offered separately - Warrants shall be issued as a separate
security and shall be transferable from and after the date of
issuance.] [If Warrants are to be offered in Book-Entry form -
[All] [A portion] of the Warrants shall initially be represented by
one or more global certificates (each, a “Global Warrant
Certificate”).] [If Securities and Warrants are to be offered
together and in definitive form - Each Warrant Certificate included
in such a unit shall evidence [
] Warrants for each [$_____ principal amount of] [
] Offered Securities included in such unit.] [If Warrants are to be
offered separately and in definitive form - Each Warrant
Certificate shall evidence [
] Warrants.]
SECTION 1.02. Form, Execution and
Delivery of Warrant Certificates .
(a) One or more Warrant Certificates
evidencing Warrants to purchase not more than [
] [$_______ in aggregate principal amount of] Warrant Securities
(except as provided in Sections 1.03, 1.04 and 2.03(e)) 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.
(b) Each Warrant Certificate,
whenever issued, shall be in registered form substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by this Agreement. [If Warrants are issued in
Book-Entry form—Each Global Warrant Certificate shall bear
such legend or legends as may be required by the Depository in
order for it to accept the Warrants for its book-entry settlement
system.] Each Warrant
2
Certificate shall be printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or
otherwise reproduced in any other manner as may be approved by the
officers executing the same (such execution to be conclusive
evidence of such approval) 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 (such
execution 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 regulation of any stock exchange
on which the Warrants [If Securities and Warrants are to be offered
together - , the Offered Securities] or the Warrant Securities may
be listed, or to conform to usage. Each Warrant Certificate shall
be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board,
President or any Executive or Senior Vice President. The signature
of any such officer on any Warrant Certificate may be manual or
facsimile. Each Warrant Certificate, when so signed on behalf of
the Company, shall be delivered to the Warrant Agent together with
an order for the countersignature and delivery of such
Warrants.
(c) The Warrant Agent shall, upon
receipt of any Warrant Certificate duly executed on behalf of the
Company, countersign such Warrant Certificate and deliver such
Warrant Certificate to or upon the order of the Company. Each
Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of its
countersignature.
(d) 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 may be
exercised, unless 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 such Warrant Certificate has been
duly issued under the terms of this Agreement.
(e) If any officer of the Company
who has signed any Warrant Certificate either manually or by
facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before such
Warrant Certificate shall have been countersigned and delivered by
the Warrant Agent, such Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be
countersigned and delivered as though the person who signed such
Warrant Certificate had not 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 as specified in this Section 1.02, regardless of
whether at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such
person was such officer.
(f) The Holders shall [If Warrants
are to be issued in Book-Entry form - , except as stated below with
respect to Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate,] be
entitled to receive Warrants in physical, certificated
form.
[If Warrants are to be issued in
Book-Entry form - (g) A Global Warrant Certificate may be exchanged
for a new Global Warrant Certificate, or one or more new Global
Warrant Certificates may be issued, to reflect the issuance by the
Company of additional
3
Warrants. To effect such an exchange, the
Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent one or more new Global
Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company as
provided in Section 1.02. The Warrant Agent shall authenticate
each new Global Warrant Certificate as provided in
Section 1.02 and shall deliver each new Global Warrant
Certificate to the Depository. The Warrant Agent shall cancel each
Global Warrant Certificate delivered to it by the Depository in
exchange therefor, if any.]
SECTION 1.03. Transfer of
Warrants .
(a) [If Warrants are to be issued in
Book-Entry form - [All] [A portion] of the Warrants shall initially
be represented by one or more Global Warrant Certificates deposited
with [the Depository Trust Company] (the “Depository”)
and registered in the name of [Cede & Co.], a nominee of
the Depository. The Depository, or such other entity as is agreed
to by the Depository, may hold each Global Warrant Certificate as
custodian for Depository. Except as provided for in
Section 1.03(b) hereof, no person acquiring Warrants traded on
any securities exchange with book-entry settlement through the
Depository shall receive or be entitled to receive physical
delivery of definitive Warrant Certificates evidencing such
Warrants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Warrants shall
be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected
through, records maintained by (i) the Depository or its
nominee for each Global Warrant Certificate, or
(ii) institutions that have accounts with the Depository (such
institution, with respect to a Warrant in its account, a
“Participant”).]
(b) [If Warrants are to be issued in
Book-Entry form - If the Depository subsequently ceases to make its
book-entry settlement system available for the Warrants, the
Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding making other
arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that the
receipts are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have
the Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Warrant Agent shall
provide written instructions to the Depository to deliver to the
Warrant Agent for cancellation each Global Warrant Certificate, and
the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to the
Depository definitive Warrant Certificates in physical form
evidencing such Warrants. Such definitive Warrant Certificates
shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A with appropriate
insertions, modifications and omissions, as provided
above.]
(c) [If Securities and Warrants are
to be offered together - [If Warrants are not immediately
detachable - Prior to the Detachment Date,] Warrants may be
transferred or exchanged only together with the Offered Security to
which such Warrant is attached, and only for the purpose of
effecting, or in conjunction with, a transfer or exchange of such
Offered Security. Furthermore, [If Warrants are not immediately
detachable - on or prior to the Detachment Date,] each transfer of
an Offered Security on the register relating to such Offered
Securities shall operate also to transfer the Warrants to which
such Offered Security was initially attached. [If Warrants are not
immediately detachable - From and after the Detachment Date,
the above provisions shall be of no further force and
effect.]
4
(d) A Warrant Certificate may be
transferred at the option of the Holder thereof upon surrender of
such Warrant Certificate at the corporate trust office of the
Warrant Agent, properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate
instruments of transfer and written instructions for transfer, all
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent [If
Warrants are to be issued in Book-Entry form -; provided, however,
that except as otherwise provided herein or in any Global Warrant
Certificate, each Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred
only in whole and only to the Depository, to another nominee of the
Depository, to a successor depository, or to a nominee of a
successor depository]. Upon any such registration of transfer, the
Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and
deliver, as provided in Section 1.02, in the name of the
designated transferee a new Warrant Certificate or Warrant
Certificates of any authorized denomination evidencing in the
aggregate a like number of unexercised Warrants.
(e) [If Warrants are not immediately
detachable - After the Detachment Date,] Upon surrender at the
corporate office of the Warrant Agent, properly endorsed or
accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer and written
instructions for such exchange, all in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Warrant Agent, one or more Warrant Certificates may
be exchanged for one or more Warrant Certificates in any other
authorized denominations; provided that such new Warrant
Certificate(s) evidence the same aggregate number of Warrants as
the Warrant Certificate(s) so surrendered. Upon any such surrender
for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent
shall countersign and deliver, as provided in Section 1.02, in
the name of the Holder of such Warrant Certificates, the new
Warrant Certificates.
(f) The Warrant Agent shall keep, at
its corporate trust office, books in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register
Warrant Certificates in accordance with Section 1.02 and
transfers, exchanges, exercises and cancellations of outstanding
Warrant Certificates. Whenever any Warrant Certificates are
surrendered for transfer or exchange in accordance with this
Section 1.03, an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall
manually countersign and deliver the Warrant Certificates which the
Holder making the transfer or exchange is entitled to
receive.
(g) No service charge shall be made
for any transfer or exchange 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 transfer or exchange.
SECTION 1.04. Lost, Stolen,
Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates . Upon receipt by
the Company and the Warrant Agent of evidence satisfactory to them
of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of any Warrant Certificate and of indemnity satisfactory to them
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
5
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 for a like number of Warrants. No service charge
shall be made for any replacement of Warrant Certificates, but the
Company may require the 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. To the extent permitted under
applicable law, the provisions of this Section 1.04 are
exclusive with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates and shall preclude any and
all other rights or remedies.
SECTION 1.05. Cancellation of
Warrant Certificates . Any Warrant Certificate surrendered to
the Warrant Agent for transfer, exchange or exercise of the
Warrants evidenced thereby shall be promptly canceled 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 lieu thereof. The Warrant Agent shall deliver to the
Company from time to time or otherwise dispose of canceled Warrant
Certificates in a manner satisfactory to the Company. Any Warrant
Certificate surrendered to the Company for transfer, exchange or
exercise of the Warrants evidenced thereby shall be promptly
delivered to the Warrant Agent and such transfer, exchange or
exercise shall not be effective until such Warrant Certificate has
been received by the Warrant Agent.
SECTION 1.06. Treatment of
Holders [If Warrants are to be Issued in Book-Entry Form - and
Beneficial Owners] of Warrant Certificates . (a) The term
“Holder”, 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 Securities and Warrants that are not immediately
detachable are offered - or, prior to the Detachment Date, the
person in whose name the Offered Security to which such Warrant
Certificate was initially attached is registered upon the register
relating to such Offered Securities. At all times prior to the
Detachment Date, the Company will, or will cause the registrar of
the Offered Securities to, make available to the Warrant Agent such
information as to holders of the Offered Securities as may be
necessary to keep the Warrant Agent’s records current]. [If
Warrants are to be issued in Book-Entry form - The Holder of each
Global Warrant Certificate shall initially be [Cede &
Co.], a nominee of the Depository.]
(a) [If Warrants are to be issued in
Book-Entry Form - The term “Beneficial Owner” as used
herein shall mean any person in whose name ownership of beneficial
interests in Warrants evidenced by a Global Warrant Certificate is
recorded in the records maintained by the Depository or its
nominee, or by a Participant [If Securities and Warrants that are
not immediately detachable are offered - , or, prior to the
Detachment Date, the person in whose name the Offered Security to
which such Warrant Certificate was initially attached is registered
upon the register relating to such Offered Securities].]
(b) Every Holder [If Warrants are to
be issued in Book-Entry form - and every Beneficial Owner] consents
and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent and with every
subsequent Holder [If Warrants are to be issued in Book-Entry form
- and
6
Beneficial Owner] that until the Warrant
Certificate is transferred on the books of the Warrant Agent, the
Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the registered Holder of
such Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner of the Warrants
evidenced thereby for any purpose and as the person entitled to
exercise the rights attaching to the Warrants evidenced thereby,
any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.
ARTICLE II
EXERCISE PRICE, DURATION AND
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
SECTION 2.01. Exercise Price
. The exercise price of each Warrant shall be $________ (the
“Exercise Price”) [modify as appropriate to reflect
terms of offered Warrants].
SECTION 2.02. Duration of

Warrant may be exercised in whole but not in part [Unless Warrants
may be exercised on only one date: on any Business Day (as defined
below) occurring during the period (the “Exercise
Period”) commencing on [its date of issuance] [________ __,
___] and ending at 5:00 P.M., New York time,] on __________ , ____
(the “Expiration Date”). Each Warrant remaining
unexercised after 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the Expiration Date
shall become void, and all rights of the Holder under this
Agreement shall cease.
As used herein, the term
“Business Day” means any day which is not a Saturday or
Sunday and is not a legal holiday or a day on which banking
institutions generally are authorized or obligated by law or
regulation to close in [
].
SECTION 2.03. Exercise of
Warrants .
(a) A Holder may exercise a Warrant
by delivering, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York time, on [Unless
Warrants may be exercised on only one date: any Business Day during
the Exercise Period (the “Exercise Date”)] [If Warrants
may be exercised on only one date - the Expiration Date] to the
Warrant Agent at its corporate trust department (i) the
Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to be exercised, [If
Warrants are to be issued in Book-Entry form - and, in the case of
a Global Warrant Certificate, the Warrants to be exercised (the
“Book-Entry Warrants”) free on the records of the
Depository to an account of the Warrant Agent at the Depository
designated for such purpose in writing by the Warrant Agent to the
Depository from time to time,] (ii) an election to purchase
the Warrant Securities (“Election to Purchase”),
properly completed and executed by the Holder on the reverse of the
Warrant Certificate [If Warrants are to be issued in Book-Entry
form - or, in the case of a Global Warrant Certificate, properly
executed by the Participant and substantially in the form included
on the reverse of each Warrant Certificate,] and (iii) the
Exercise Price for each Warrant to be exercised in lawful money of
the United States of America by certified or official bank check or

Warrants,] (b) the Election to Purchase, or
(c) the Exercise Price therefor, is received by the Warrant
Agent after 5:00 P.M., New York time, on [Unless Warrants may be
exercised on only one date: the specified Exercise Date, the
Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the
Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date. It the date
specified as the Exercise Date is not a Business Day, the Warrants
will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding
day which is a Business Day. If the Warrants are received or deemed
to be received after] the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof
will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent
will be returned to the Holder [If Warrants are to be issued in
Book-Entry form - or Participant, as the case may be,] as soon as
practicable. In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited
with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted
exercise of Warrants. The validity of any exercise of Warrants will
be determined by the Warrant Agent in its sole discretion and such
determination will be final and binding upon the Holder and the
Company. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall have any
obligation to inform a Holder of the invalidity of any exercise of
Warrants. The Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it
in payment of the Exercise Price in the account of the Company
maintained with the Warrant Agent for such purpose and shall advise
the Company by telephone at the end of each day on which funds for
the exercise of the Warrants are received of the amount so
deposited to its account. The Warrant Agent shall promptly confirm
such telephonic advice to the Company in writing. (b) The
Warrant Agent shall, by 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day following
the [Unless Warrants may be exercised on only one date: Exercise
Date of any Warrant] [If Warrants may be exercised on only one date
- Expiration Date], advise the Company and the [Trustee under the
Indenture applicable to] [the transfer agent and registrar in
respect of] the Warrant Securities issuable upon such exercise as

and conditions of this Agreement, the instructions of each Holder
[If Warrants are to be issued in Book-entry Form - or Participant,
as the case may be,] with respect to delivery of the Warrant
Securities issuable upon such exercise, and the delivery of
definitive Warrant Certificates [If Warrants are to be issued in
Book-Entry form - or one or more Global Warrant Certificates, as
appropriate,] evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants
remaining after such exercise, and such other information as the
Company or such [Trustee] [transfer agent and registrar] shall
reasonably require.
(c) The Company shall, by 5:00 P.M.,
New York time, on the third Business Day next succeeding the
[Unless Warrants may be exercised on only one date: Exercise Date
of any Warrant] [If Warrants may be exercised on only one date -
Expiration Date], execute, issue and deliver to the Warrant Agent,
[pursuant to the Indenture applicable to the Warrant Securities,
the Warrant Securities, duly authenticated by the Trustee of such
Indenture and in authorized denominations] [the
