1.
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
2.
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.
3.
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
were 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.
4.
(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.
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
5.
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.
The Warrant Agent may receive a written opinion of legal counsel as conclusive evidence that
any such Reorganization Event complies with the provisions of this Section 3.4.
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 mail in thereof shall affect any such transaction.
ARTICLE 4
EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES
4.1 Exchange and Transfer of Warrant Certificates. [If Other Securities with Warrants which
are immediately detachable—Upon][If Other Securities with Warrants which are not immediately
detachable—Prior to the Detachable Date, a Warrant Certificate may be
6.
exchanged or transferred
only together with the Other Security to which the Warrant Certificate was initially attached, and
only for the purpose of effecting or in conjunction with an exchange or transfer of such Other
Security. Prior to any Detachable Date, each transfer of the Other Security shall operate also to
transfer the related Warrant Certificates. After the Detachable Date, 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 such Warrants or the transfer
thereof may be registered in whole or in part; provided that such other Warrant Certificates
evidence Warrants for the same aggregate principal amount of Warrant Debt Securities as the Warrant
Certificates so surrendered. 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 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. 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 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 shall 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.
4.2 Treatment of Holders of Warrant Certificates. [If Other Securities and Warrants are not
immediately detachable—Prior to the Detachable Date, the Company, the Warrant Agent and all other
persons may treat the owner of the Other 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 and prior to due presentment of a Warrant Certificate
for registration of transfer, the][The] Company, the Warrant Agent and all other persons may treat
the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate 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.
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 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 exchange therefor or in lieu thereof. The
7.
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.

parties.
8.
(e) Certain Transactions. The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors and employees, may

5.3 Resignation, Removal and Appointment of Successors.

of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired
9.
resignation shall become
effective; provided that such date shall not be less than three months after the date on which such
notice is given 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 behalf of the Company
and specifying such removal and the intended date when it shall become effective. Such resignation
or removal shall take effect upon the appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a
successor Warrant Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company authorized under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization to exercise corporate trust powers) and the acceptance of such
appointment by such successor Warrant Agent. The obligation of the Company under Section 5.2(a)
shall continue to the extent set forth therein notwithstanding the resignation or removal of the

and acceptance by the successor Warrant Agent of such appointment, the Warrant Agent shall cease 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.
