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

will evidence [•] Warrants for each [$[•] principal amount] [[•] shares] of Other Securities issued.]


 






    	 	1	 



     


    

 


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 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 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 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	 



     


    

 


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 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 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 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 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.


 


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.


 






    	 	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.


 


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.

including the following to all of which the Company agrees and to all of which the rights hereunder of the holders from time to time of
the Warrant Certificates shall be subject:


 


(a)           Compensation
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 Agent, arising out of or
in connection with its acting as Warrant Agent hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses 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 solely
as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligations or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the holders of Warrant
Certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants.


 


(c)           Counsel.
The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it, which may include counsel for the Company, and the written advice of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel.


 


(d)           Documents.
The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted by it in reliance
upon any Warrant Certificate, notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or document reasonably believed
by it to be genuine and to have been presented or signed by the proper parties.


 


(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.


 


(f)           No
Liability for Interest. Unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the Warrant Agent shall have no liability for interest on any monies
at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Warrant Certificates.


 


(g)           No
Liability for Invalidity. The Warrant Agent shall have no liability with respect to any invalidity of this Agreement or any of the
Warrant Certificates (except as to the Warrant Agent’s countersignature thereon).

Responsibility for Representations. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any of the recitals or representations herein or
in the Warrant Certificates (except as to the Warrant Agent’s countersignature thereon), all of which are made solely by the Company.


 






    	 	6	 



     


    

 


(i)           No
Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are herein and in the Warrant Certificates
specifically set forth and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Warrant Certificates against the
Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder which may tend to involve it in any expense
or liability, the payment of which within a reasonable time is not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it. The 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 or, except as provided in Section 6.2 hereof,
to make any demand upon the Company.


 


5.3           Resignation,
Removal and Appointment of Successors.


 


(a)           The
Company agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Warrant Certificates, that there shall at all times be a Warrant
Agent hereunder until all the Warrants have been exercised or are no longer exercisable.


 


(b)           The
Warrant Agent may at any time resign as agent by giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date
on which its desired 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 Warrant Agent.


 


(c)           In
case at any time the Warrant Agent shall resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt
or insolvent, or shall commence a voluntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or under any other
applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Warrant Agent or its property or affairs, or
shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due, or shall take corporate action in furtherance of any such action, or a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction
in the premises shall have been entered in respect of the Warrant Agent in an involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now
or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or a decree or order by a court
having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered for the appointment of a receiver, custodian, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator (or similar official) of the Warrant Agent or of its property or affairs, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Warrant Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation, winding up or liquidation, a successor
Warrant Agent, qualified as aforesaid, shall be appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing, filed with the successor Warrant
Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor 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 to receive, all monies, securities and
other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as Warrant Agent hereunder.

to which the Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all the assets and business of the Warrant Agent, provided
