Exhibit 4.4

FORM OF

GUARANTEE OF CBS OPERATIONS INC.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CBS OPERATIONS INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Guarantor”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture referred to in the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed), hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to the holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest (including, in case of default, interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue interest), if any, on this Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein.  In case of the failure of CBS Corporation or any successor thereto (herein called the “Company”) punctually to pay any such principal or interest, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, as if such payment were made by the Company.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the identity of the Company, the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Security or said Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Holder of this Security with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.  The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in this Security and in this Guarantee.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of this Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee or the Indenture referred to in this Security; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and interest on all Securities of the series of which the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed constitutes a part shall have been indefeasibly paid in full.

The Indenture provides that in the event that this Guarantee would constitute or result in a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or result in a violation of, any United States federal, or applicable United States state, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law, then the liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation under the applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law.

If the Trustee or the Holder of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or the Guarantor, or any custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid to the Trustee or such Holder in respect of the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  The Guarantor further agrees, to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so, that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five of the Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition extant under any applicable bankruptcy law preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby.

 

 

  

  

  

 

 

All terms used in this Guarantee that are defined in the Indenture and are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Subject to the next following paragraph, the Guarantor hereby certifies and warrants that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this Guarantee and to constitute the same valid obligation of the Guarantor have been done and performed and have happened in due compliance with all applicable laws.

This Guarantee shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the Security upon which this Guarantee is endorsed has been signed by the Trustee under the Indenture referred to in this Security.

 

  

  

  

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	Principal Amount:  Up to $125,000 	
         Dated as of July
        25, 2014

        New York, New York

                                                                                  

             
Hydra Industries Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and blank check company (the “Maker”), promises
to pay to the order of Hydra Industries Sponsor LLC or its registered assigns or successors in interest (the
“Payee”), or order, the principal sum of up to One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) in lawful
money of the United States of America, on the terms and conditions described below.  All payments on this Note shall
be made by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or as otherwise determined by the Maker to such account as the
Payee may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

 

1.            Principal. The
principal balance of this Note shall be payable by the Maker on the earlier of: (i) March 31, 2015 or (ii) the date on which Maker
consummates an initial public offering of its securities. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Under no circumstances
shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the Maker, be obligated personally
for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder.

 

2.            Interest. No
interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

3.            Drawdown Requests. Maker
and Payee agree that Maker may request up to One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) for costs reasonably related to
Maker’s initial public offering of its securities. The principal of this Note may be drawn down from time to time
prior to the earlier of: (i) March 31, 2015 or (ii) the date on which Maker consummates an initial public offering of its securities,
upon written request from Maker to Payee (each, a “Drawdown Request”). Each Drawdown Request must state the
amount to be drawn down, and must not be an amount less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Payee shall fund each Drawdown Request
no later than five (5) business days after receipt of a Drawdown Request; provided, however, that the maximum amount of drawdowns
collectively under this Note is One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) and that an equal amount of principal is drawn
down upon under that certain Promissory Note, dated as of the date hereof, between the Maker and MIHI LLC. Once an amount is drawn
down under this Note, it shall not be available for future Drawdown Requests even if prepaid. No fees, payments or other amounts
shall be due to Payee in connection with, or as a result of, any Drawdown Request by Maker. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred in collection of any sum due under this Note, including
(without limitation) reasonable attorneys’ fees, and then to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

 

4.            Events
of Default. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”):

 

(a)           Failure
to Make Required Payments. Failure by Maker to pay the outstanding balance due pursuant to this Note within five (5) business
days of the date specified in Section 1 above.

 

(b)           Voluntary
Bankruptcy, Etc. The commencement by Maker of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
rehabilitation or other similar law, or the consent by it to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or
the making by it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of Maker generally to pay its debts as such debts
become due, or the taking of corporate action by Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(c)           Involuntary
Bankruptcy, Etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of Maker
in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Maker or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering
the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period
of 60 consecutive days.

  

5.            Remedies.

 

(a)           Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 4(a) hereof, Payee may, by written notice to Maker, declare this Note
to be due immediately and payable, whereupon the outstanding balance of this Note, and all other amounts payable hereunder, shall
become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything contained herein or in the documents evidencing the same to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

(b)           Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 4(b) and 4(c), the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and all other
sums payable with regard to this Note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action
on the part of Payee.

 

6.            Waivers. Maker
and all endorsers and guarantors of, and sureties for, this Note waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor and
notice of protest with regard to the Note, all errors, defects and imperfections in any proceedings instituted by Payee under the
terms of this Note, and all benefits that might accrue to Maker by virtue of any present or future laws exempting any property,
real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale of any such property, from attachment, levy or sale under execution,
or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, or extension of time for payment; and Maker agrees that any
real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof, or any writ of execution issued hereon, may
be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by Payee.

 

7.            Unconditional
Liability. Maker hereby waives all notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, or enforcement
of the payment of this Note, and agrees that its liability shall be unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other
party, and shall not be affected in any manner by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or
consented to by Payee, and consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted
by Payee with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and agrees that additional makers, endorsers, guarantors,
or sureties may become parties hereto without notice to Maker or affecting Maker’s liability hereunder.

provided to such party or such other address as may be designated in writing by such party, (ii) by facsimile to the number most
recently provided to such party or such other fax number as may be designated in writing by such party or (iii) by electronic mail,

if delivered personally, on the business day following receipt of written confirmation, if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission,
one (1) business day after delivery to an overnight courier service or five (5) days after mailing if sent by mail.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

9.            Construction. THIS
NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.

 

10.          Severability. Any
provision contained in this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

11.          Trust
Waiver.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Payee hereby waives any and all right, title, interest
or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in or to any distribution of or from the trust account to be established in which
the proceeds of the initial public offering (the “IPO”) conducted by the Maker (including the deferred underwriters
discounts and commissions) and the proceeds of the sale of the warrants issued in a private placement to occur prior to the effectiveness
of the IPO are to be deposited, as described in greater detail in the registration statement and prospectus to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO, and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or
satisfaction for any Claim against the trust account for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, the Payee shall not waive any
Claim it may have if the Maker completes its IPO and the Maker fails to repay the outstanding balance due in connection with this
Note pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof.

  

12.          Amendment;
Waiver.  Any amendment hereto or waiver of any provision hereof may be made with, and only with, the written consent
