[If the Unit Securities include debt securities – The Debt Securities are to be issued in one or more series as provided in an indenture dated as of , 20__ (the “Indenture”), with __________, as trustee (such trustee, and any successors to such trustee, herein called the “Trustee”).] [If the Unit Securities include warrants – The terms of the Warrants are governed by a Warrant Agreement, dated as of , 20__, between the Company and [Warrant Agent], as Warrant Agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), and are subject to the terms and provisions contained therein.] The Unit Securities will not be separately transferable until the Separation Date as defined in Section 2.1.

No Unit Certificate shall be valid for any purpose until such Unit Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of the Unit Agent. Such signature by the Unit Agent upon any Unit Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Unit Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.
In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Unit Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before the Unit Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned and delivered by the Unit Agent, such Unit Certificates may be countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that the person who signed such Unit Certificates ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Unit Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Unit 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 Unit Certificate” as used herein shall mean any person in whose name at the time any Unit Certificate shall be registered upon the books to be maintained by the Unit Agent for that purpose.
1.3 Issuance of Unit Certificates. Unit Certificates evidencing Units may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Unit Agent upon the execution of this Unit Agreement or from time to time thereafter. The Unit Agent shall, upon receipt of Unit Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign such Unit Certificates and shall deliver such Unit Certificates to or upon the order of the Company.
1.4 Unit Certificate Legend. Each Unit Security issued prior to the Separation Date shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE [TITLE OF UNIT SECURITIES] EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE INITIALLY ISSUED AS PART OF AN ISSUANCE OF UNITS (THE “UNITS”), EACH OF WHICH CONSIST OF ________ [TITLE OF UNIT SECURITIES] AND ________ [TITLE OF UNIT SECURITIES].
“PRIOR TO THE EARLIEST OF (I) [180] DAYS AFTER THE CLOSING OF THE COMPANY’S OFFERING OF THE UNITS, (II) [If the Unit Securities include debt securities - THE OCCURRENCE OF A CHANGE OF CONTROL OR AN EVENT OF DEFAULT (EACH AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THE [TITLE OF UNIT SECURITIES]) AND (III)] SUCH DATE AS [NAME OF UNDERWRITER IN OFFERING] IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION SHALL DETERMINE, THE [TITLE OF UNIT SECURITIES] EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR EXCHANGED SEPARATELY FROM, BUT MAY BE TRANSFERRED OR EXCHANGED ONLY TOGETHER WITH, [TITLE OF UNIT SECURITIES].”
ARTICLE 2
SEPARATION OF UNIT SECURITIES AND OTHER MATTERS
2.1 Separation of the Unit Securities. The Unit Securities will not be separately transferable until the Separation Date. “Separation Date” means the earliest of (i) [180] days after the closing of the Company’s offering of Units, (ii) [If the Unit Securities include debt securities - the occurrence of a Change of Control or an Event of Default (each as defined in the Indenture) and (iii)] such date as [Name of Underwriter in offering] in its sole discretion shall determine.
2.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Unit Certificates. Upon receipt by the Unit Agent of an affidavit and evidence reasonably satisfactory to it and the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Unit Certificate and indemnity and/or surety bond reasonably satisfactory to the Unit Agent and the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of the mutilated Unit Certificate to the Unit Agent for cancellation, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Unit Agent that such Unit Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Unit Agent shall manually countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Unit Certificate, a new Unit Certificate of the same tenor and evidencing Units for a like number of Unit Securities. Upon the issuance of any new Unit Certificate under this Section 2.2, 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 Unit Agent) in connection therewith. Every substitute Unit Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 2.2 in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Unit Certificate shall represent an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Unit 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 Unit Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions of this Section 2.2 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 Unit Certificates.

ARTICLE 3
EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF UNIT CERTIFICATES
3.1 Exchange and Transfer of Unit Certificates. Upon surrender at the corporate trust office of the Unit Agent, Unit Certificates evidencing Units may be exchanged for Unit Certificates in other denominations evidencing such Units or the transfer thereof may be registered in whole or in part; provided that such other Unit Certificates evidence Units for the same aggregate number of Unit Securities as the Unit Certificates so surrendered. The Unit Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office, books in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register Unit Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Unit Certificates, upon surrender of the Unit Certificates to the Unit 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 Unit Agent. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Unit 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 Unit Certificates are so surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, an authorized officer of the Unit Agent shall manually countersign and deliver to the person or persons entitled thereto a Unit Certificate or Unit Certificates duly authorized and executed by the Company, as so requested. The Unit Agent shall not be required to effect any exchange or registration of transfer which will result in the issuance of a Unit Certificate evidencing a Unit for a fraction of a Unit Security. All Unit Certificates issued upon any exchange or registration of transfer of Unit Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Unit Certificate surrendered for such exchange or registration of transfer.
3.2 Treatment of Holders of Unit Certificates. The Company, the Unit Agent and all other persons may treat the registered holder of a Unit Certificate as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Units evidenced thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.
3.3 Cancellation of Unit Certificates. Any Unit Certificate surrendered for exchange, registration of transfer or exercise of the Unit evidenced thereby shall, if surrendered to the Company, be delivered to the Unit Agent and all Unit Certificates surrendered or so delivered to the Unit Agent shall be promptly canceled by the Unit Agent and shall not be reissued and, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Unit Certificate shall be issued hereunder in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof. The Unit Agent shall deliver to the Company from time to time or otherwise dispose of canceled Unit Certificates in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
