Whereas,
the Company has entered into an indenture dated as of [●] (the “Indenture”), with [●], as

Whereas,
the Company proposes to sell [If Warrants are sold with other securities —[title of such other securities

such warrant certificates and other warrant certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement being herein called the “Warrant
Certificates”; and


 


Whereas,
the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in

on which they may be issued, registered, transferred, exchanged, exercised and replaced.


 


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 will be issued in connection with the issuance of
the Other Securities but shall 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 will be issued with the Other Securities
and each Warrant Certificate will evidence [●] Warrants for each [$[●] principal amount] [[●] shares] of Other
Securities issued.]


 


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,

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 such 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.


 


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 Agreement or from time to time thereafter. The Warrant Agent

deliver such Warrant Certificates to or upon the order of the Company.

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

of Warrant Debt Securities) will be amortized at a [●]% annual rate, computed on a[n] [semi-] annual basis [using a 360-day

as the “Warrant Price.

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 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 duty, stamp duty reserve tax, issuance, transfer, registration tax or other tax,
duty, fee or other governmental charge, including any penalty or interest in respect thereof (a “Transfer Tax”)
arising in relation to any transfer, issue or other delivery of the Warrant Debt Securities, and in the event that any such transfer,
issue or delivery is involved, the Company shall not be required to transfer, issue or otherwise deliver any Warrant Debt Securities
until such Transfer Taxshall have been paid or it has been established to the Company's satisfaction that no such Transfer Tax
is due or may arise.





 


(e)            Prior
to the issuance of any Warrants exercisable for Debt Securities convertible into Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and
at all times through the Expiration Date, the Company shall ensure that the Directors have sufficient authority and power under
section 551 and section 570 of the UK Companies Act 2006 to issue such Warrants and/or such Debt Securities (as applicable)


 


Article 3


 


OTHER
PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF

WARRANT CERTIFICATES


 


3.1          No
Rights as Holder 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 Transfer Tax that may arise 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 a Warrant
Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant Agent, , the 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.






    4


     


    

 


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, to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulation, 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 mailing thereof shall affect any such transaction.


 


Article 4


 


EXCHANGE
AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES


 


4.1            Exchange
and Transfer of Warrant Certificates. 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.






    5


     


    







 


4.2          Treatment
of Holders of Warrant Certificates. 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 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.

and Indemnification. The Company agrees promptly to pay the Warrant Agent the compensation to be agreed upon with the Company
for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent and to reimburse the Warrant Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees) incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Warrant Agent in connection with the
services rendered hereunder by the Warrant Agent. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Warrant

of defending against any claim of such liability.


 


(b)            Agent
for the Company. In acting under this Agreement and in connection with the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent is acting

(e)            Certain
Transactions. The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors and employees, may become the owner of, or acquire any interest
in, Warrants, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder, and, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, it or they may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company and may act on,
or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders of Warrant Debt Securities or other obligations of the
Company as freely as if it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Warrant
Agent from acting as trustee under any indenture to which the Company is a party, including, without limitation, as Trustee under
the Indenture.

Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates
authenticated by the Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or for the application by the
Company of the proceeds of the Warrant Certificates. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default
by the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein or in the Warrant Certificates or in the case
of the receipt of any written demand from a holder of a Warrant Certificate with respect to such default, including, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise

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

obligation of the Company under Section 5.2(a) shall continue to the extent set forth therein notwithstanding the resignation

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


 


(d)            Any
successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver 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
