      THIS
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies
that, for value received, _____________ (the “Holder”) is entitled,
upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions
hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise
Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the four (4) year
anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”)
but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Longhai Steel Inc., a
Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to
______ shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of
Common Stock.  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this
Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section
2(b).

       

      Section 1. 
           Definitions. 
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in that certain Prospectus (the “Prospectus”),
declared effective as of the ________ __, 2010.

       

      Section 2. 
           Exercise.

       

      a)           Exercise of
Warrant.  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the
Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the
Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by
notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder
appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the
Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within three (3) Trading Days of
the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall
have received  payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares
thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States
bank or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in
Section 2(c) below.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company
until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and
the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall
surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading
Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. 
Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the
total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of
lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an
amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The
Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant
Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall deliver
any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within 1 Business Day of receipt of
such notice.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of
the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest
error. The Holder and any
assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason
of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the
Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase
hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face
hereof.

      
        
           

        

        
          1

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      b)           Exercise Price. 
The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be
$____, subject to
adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”).

       

      c)           Cashless
Exercise.  If at any time after the earlier of (i) the one year
anniversary of the effective date of the Prospectus and (ii) the completion of
the then-applicable holding period required by Rule 144, or any successor
provision then in effect, there is no effective Registration Statement
registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant
Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in
part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall
be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

       

      
        
          	
                	
                  (A)

                	
                  =
      the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the Trading Day immediately
      preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by
      means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of
      Exercise;

                

        

      

      

      
        
          	
                	
                  (B)

                	
                  =
      the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder;
    and

                

        

      

      

      
        
          	
                	
                  (X)

                	
                  =
      the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this
      Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were
      by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless
    exercise.

                

        

      

      

      
           
d)           Mechanics of
Exercise.

      i. 
    Delivery of Certificates
Upon Exercise.  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be
transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the
Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system if the
Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an
effective Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares
to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the shares are eligible
for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant
to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the
Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days
after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise
Form, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if
permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery
Date”).  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the
first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the
Company.  The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and
Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to
have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date
the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise
Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid
by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of
such shares, having been paid.  If the Company fails for any reason to
deliver to the Holder certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares subject to a
Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to
the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000
of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common
Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day
(increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such
liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant
Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds
such exercise.

       

      ii. 
        Delivery of New Warrants
Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part,
the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant
certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates
representing Warrant Shares, deliver to Holder a new Warrant evidencing the
rights of Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this
Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this
Warrant.

       

      iii. 
       Rescission
Rights.  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to
transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the
Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date,
then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

      
        
           

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      iv. 
       Compensation for Buy-In on
Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise.  In addition
to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the
Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates
representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant
Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker
to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s
brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder
anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the
Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the
Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by
multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to
deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was
executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of
the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was
not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued
had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations
hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a
total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to
such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately
preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The
Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable
to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company,
evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in
equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or
injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver
certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as
required pursuant to the terms hereof.

       

      v. 
       No Fractional Shares or
Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares
shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a
share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such
exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by
the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

       

      vi. 
       Charges, Taxes and
Expenses.  Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made
without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and
expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in
the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the
Holder; provided, however, that in the
event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the
name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be
accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder
and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum
sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental
thereto.

      vii. 
       Closing of
Books.  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records
in any manner that prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the
terms hereof.

       

      e)           Holder’s Exercise
Limitations.  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this
Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this
Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving
effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of
Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other
Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s
Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership
Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made,
but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable
upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant
beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or
conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, any other  Common Stock
Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the
limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its
Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of
this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not
representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules
required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the
limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of
a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether
this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder
together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is
exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and
the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such
determination.   In addition, a determination as to any group status
as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For
purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report
filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public
announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company
or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company
shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the
number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to
the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant,
by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not less
than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the
Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. 
Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day
after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The provisions of this
paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in
strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph
(or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended
Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or
supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of
this Warrant.

      Section 3. 
           Certain
Adjustments.

       

      a)           Stock Dividends and
Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding:
(i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on
shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities
payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not
include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this
Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger
number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split)
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv)
issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital
stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such
event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the
aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately
after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
re-classification.

      
        
           

        

        
          6

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      b)           Adjustment of Warrant Price
upon Failure to Achieve Performance Target.

       

      1. 
         In the event the Company
fails to achieve net earnings after income tax of $12.48 million or more for the
year ending December 31, 2011, then on the twenty-first (21st) trading day after
the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for the Company, the Exercise Price
will be the lower of the then-current Exercise Price (as may be adjusted for any
reason under this Section 3(b)) or the Reduced Exercise Price, as defined in
Section 3(b)(2) below.

      

      2. 
         The “Reduced Exercise
Price” shall mean ninety percent (90%) of the arithmetic average of the VWAP of
the Company’s common stock on each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days
commencing on the trading day after the Company files its annual report on Form
10-K.

      

      3. 
         In no event shall the
application of this Section 3(b) result in an increase in the Exercise
Price.

      

      c)           Pro Rata
Distributions.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the
Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash
dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other
than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each
such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price
in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the
denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above,
and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then
per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or
evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one
outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in
good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a
statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share
of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record
date mentioned above.

      
        
           

        

        
          7

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      d)           Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the
Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any
merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the
Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its
assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or
indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company
or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are
permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or
property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding
Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of
the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common
Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or
property, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization,
spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person
acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including
any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or
party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to,
such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a
“Fundamental
Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have
been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such
Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of
shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the
Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration
(the “Alternate
Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to
any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).  For
purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be
appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the
amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common
Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the
Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner
reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate
Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the
securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it
receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a
Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3
transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a
Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national
securities exchange, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below)
shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or
within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase
this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to
the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on
the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.  “Black Scholes Value”
means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing
Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”)
determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate
corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between
the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction
and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of
100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as
of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the
applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in
such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash,
if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in
such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time
between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental
Transaction and the Termination Date.  The Company shall cause any
successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the
survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to
assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and
the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable
delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the
holder of this Warrant, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a
security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially
similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a
corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its
parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and
receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on
the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an
exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of
capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of
Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such
shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such
exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this
Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction),
and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon
the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall
succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such
Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other
Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the
Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and
shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the
other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had
been named as the Company herein.

      e)           Calculations. All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the
nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3,
the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a
given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding
treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

       

      f)           Notice to
Holder.

       

      i. 
    Adjustment to Exercise
Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision
of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice
setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

      ii. 
         Notice to Allow Exercise by
Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall
declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common
Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common
Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the
Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common
Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other
securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary
or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder
at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company,
at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or
warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of
the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions,
redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange
is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property
deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or
share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate
action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent that any
notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public
information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall
simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report
on Form 8-K.  The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant
during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of
the event triggering such notice  except as may otherwise be expressly
set forth herein.

       

      Section 4. 
           Transfer of
Warrant.

       

      a)           Transferability. 
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set
forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including,
without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in
part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or
its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant
substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its
agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon
the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such
payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the
name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or
denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the
assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned,
and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  The Warrant, if properly
assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the
purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          10

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      b)           New Warrants. This
Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof
at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice
specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued,
signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with
Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or
combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in
exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated
the Initial Exercise Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to
the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

       

      c)           Warrant Register. The
Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the
Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”),
in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may
deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner
hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder,
and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

       

      d)           Transfer
Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with
any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be
either (i) registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities
Act and under applicable state securities
or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for
resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public
information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing
such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case
may be, agree in writing to be bound, with
respect to the transferred securities, by the provisions of this
Warrant.

       

      e)           Representation by the
Holder.  The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and
warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will
acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and
not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any
part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state
securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the
Securities Act.

       

      Section 5. 
           Miscellaneous.

       

      a)           No Rights as Stockholder
Until Exercise.  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any
voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior
to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).

      
        
           

        

        
          11

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      b)           Loss, Theft, Destruction or
Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the
Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to
the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall
not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of
such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and
deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such
cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

       

      c)           Saturdays, Sundays,
Holidays, etc.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any
action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a
Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on
the next succeeding Business Day.

       

      d)           Authorized
Shares.

       

      The
Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will
reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of
shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of
any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that
its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who
are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue
the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the
purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such
reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be
issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation,
or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be
listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued
upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon
exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such
Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the
Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

       

      Except
and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not
by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of
incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action,
avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this
Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all
such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or
appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against
impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount
payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par
value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable
Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents
from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be,
necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this
Warrant.

      
        
           

        

        
          12

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      Before
taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the
Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents
thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having
jurisdiction thereof.

       

      e)           Jurisdiction. The
validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement and of the Warrants
shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without
giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the
application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction.

       

      f)           Restrictions. 
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of
this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless
exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal
securities laws.

       

      g)           Nonwaiver and
Expenses.  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise
any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies,
notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination
Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any
provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder,
the Company shall pay to Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any
costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by Holder in collecting any
amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers
or remedies hereunder.

       

      h)           Notices.  Any
notice, statement or demand authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by
the Transfer Agent or by the holder of any Warrant to or on the Company shall be
sufficiently given when so delivered if by hand or overnight delivery or if sent
by certified mail or private courier service within five days after deposit of
such notice, postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is filed in
writing by the Company with the Transfer Agent), as follows:

      Any
notice, statement or demand authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by
the holder of any Warrant or by the Company to or on the Transfer Agent shall be
sufficiently given when so delivered if by hand or overnight delivery or if sent
by certified mail or private courier service within five days after deposit of
such notice, postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is filed in

      i)        
   Limitation of
Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative
action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any
liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a
stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or
by creditors of the Company.

       

      j)       
    Remedies.  The
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would
not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it
of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert
the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be
adequate.

       

      k)     
      Successors and
Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and
the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the
successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant
are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this
Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant
Shares.

       

      l)       
    Amendment.  This
Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the
written consent of the Company and the Holder.

       

      m)           Severability. 
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining
provisions of this Warrant.

       

      n)           Headings.  The
headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and
shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

      Company hereby grants to the Grantee a target award of _______________
      PSUs (the “Target PSUs”), with the number of PSUs earned to be based on
      performance (as provided in Paragraph 2 or 4, as applicable), subject to
      increase for dividend equivalent rights (as provided in Paragraph 5),
      and adjustment as provided in Sections 13 and 15 of the Plan.  Each PSU
      covered by this Agreement represents the right to receive one share of
      Common Stock on the Registration Date (as defined in Paragraph 9),
      subject to the vesting requirements set forth in Paragraphs 2 and
      4.  The Grantee agrees to be bound by all of the terms, provisions,
      conditions and limitations of the Plan (which are incorporated herein by
      reference) and this Agreement.  To the extent any conflict may exist
      between any term or provision of this Agreement and any term or
      provision of the Plan, the term or provision of the Plan shall control.
    

    
      2.                 Vesting
      Prior to Change of Control.  The performance period applicable to
      this grant of PSUs shall begin on January 1, 201__ and end on December
      31, 201__ (the “Performance Period”).   This Paragraph 2 shall apply if
      a Change of Control does not occur prior to the earlier of the Grantee’s
      Termination of Service or the latest date stated in the preceding
      sentence.  Subject to the employment requirements and adjustments stated
      in Paragraph 3, the number of PSUs becoming vested pursuant to this
      Paragraph 2 shall be equal to the Target PSUs (adjusted as provided in
      Sections 13 and 15 of the Plan) multiplied by the Payout
      Percentage.  The following schedule shall be used to determine the
      Payout Percentage:
    

    

    

    
    	
           
        	
          
            Thomas & Betts Corporation Total
          

          
            Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Ranking
          

        	
          Payout Percentage
        
	

        	
          80th Percentile or higher
        	
          200%
        
	

        	
          50th Percentile
        	
          100%
        
	

        	
          35th Percentile
        	
          50%
        
	

        	
          Below 35th Percentile
        	
          0%
        

    

    
      For purposes of this schedule:
    

    	
           
        	
          (a)
        	
          For results between performance levels, the Payout Percentage shall
          increase 3.33 percentage points (interpolated on a straight line
          basis) for each increase in Percentile (e.g., 37.5th
          Percentile = 58.33% Payout Percentage);
        

    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          

        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    	
           
        	
          (b)
        	
          The Percentile of the Thomas & Betts Corporation TSR (defined as
          share price appreciation plus dividends reinvested) shall be the
          Company’s TSR for the Performance Period, as compared to the TSR for
          the companies, without replacement, which are in Standard & Poor’s
          Midcap 400 Composite Index (“Midcap 400”); and
        
	

        	

        	
           
        
	

        	
          (c)
        	
          The Company’s TSR shall be the Company’s TSR for the Performance
          Period calculated with dividends reinvested, for the Company’s
          common stock (“Company Stock”) as reported on the New York Stock
          Exchange ending on the last day of the Performance Period (or, if
          Company Stock is not traded on that date, on the next preceding
          trading date on which Company Stock is traded). For purposes of
          calculating TSR:
        

    

    	
           
        	
          (i)
        	
          The starting price for the Company Stock and the stock of each
          company in the Midcap 400 shall be the average of the closing price
          for each trading day within the 20 trading days ending on the day
          before the first day of the Performance Period; and
        
	

        	

        	
           
        
	

        	
          (ii)
        	
          The ending stock price for the Company Stock and the stock of each
          company in the Midcap 400 shall be the average of the closing prices
          for each trading day within the 20 trading days ending on the last
          day of the Performance Period.
        

    

    
      3.                 Employment
      Requirements and Adjustments.  Vesting pursuant to Paragraph 2 shall
      be subject to the following employment requirements and adjustments:
    

    	
           
        	
          (a)
        	
          If the Grantee has not incurred a Termination of Service during the
          Performance Period, the Grantee shall be vested as of the last day
          of the Performance Period in the number of PSUs determined pursuant
          to Paragraph 2, and no additional PSUs subject to this Agreement
          shall become vested thereafter;
        
	

        	

        	
           
        
	

        	
          (b)
        	
          If the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs during the
          Performance Period for any reason other than death or Disability (as
          defined below), and Paragraph 3(d) does not apply to the Grantee,
          the Grantee shall not become vested in any PSUs pursuant to
          Paragraph 2;
        
	

        	

        	
           
        
	

        	
          (c)
        	
          If the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs during the
          Performance Period as a result of death or Disability, the Grantee
          shall be vested as of the last day of the Performance Period in the
          number of PSUs determined pursuant to Paragraph 2 multiplied by the
          Fraction (as defined below), and no additional PSUs subject to this
          Agreement shall become vested thereafter; and
        
	

        	

        	
           
        
	

        	
          (d)
        	
          If (I) the Grantee has a Termination Protection Agreement in effect
          with the Company on the date of the Grantee’s Termination of
          Service, (II) the Grantee was an elected officer of the Company on
          the date such Termination Protection Agreement was entered into, and
          (III) the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs during the
          Performance Period as a result of an Anticipatory Termination
          Triggering Event (as defined in such Termination Protection
          Agreement), then (A) the last day of the Performance Period shall be
          deemed to be the date of such Termination of Service for all
          purposes under this Agreement other than for purposes of determining
          the Fraction, (B) the Grantee shall be vested as of the last day of
          such Performance Period in the number of PSUs determined pursuant to
          Paragraph 2 multiplied by the Fraction, and (C) no additional PSUs
          subject to this Agreement shall become vested thereafter.
        

    

    
      For purposes of this Agreement:
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          

        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    	
           
        	
          (i)
        	
          “Disability” shall mean total disability or permanent disability as
          determined under the Company’s long-term disability plan in which
          the Grantee participates, as it exists from time to time; provided,
          however, if the Grantee does not participate in the Company’s
          long-term disability plan, then “Disability” means an illness or
          injury which prevents the Grantee from performing the Grantee’s
          duties, as they existed immediately prior to the illness or injury,
          on a full time basis for 180 consecutive business days, and is
          determined to be total and permanent disability by a physician
          selected by the Company; and
        
	

        	

        	
           
        
	

        	
          (ii)
        	
          “Fraction” shall mean a fraction where the numerator shall be the
          number of days that have elapsed in the Performance Period through
          the date of the Grantee’s Termination of Service, and the
          denominator shall be the number of days in the Performance Period.
        

    

    
      4.                 Vesting
      on Change of Control.  If a Change of Control occurs during the
      Performance Period and the Grantee’s Termination of Service has not
      occurred prior to such Change of Control, then:
    

    	
           
        	
          (a)
        	
          The last day of the Performance Period shall be deemed to be the
          date of the Change of Control for all purposes under this Agreement;
        
	

        	

        	
           
        
	

        	
          (b)
        	
          The number of PSUs becoming vested pursuant to this Paragraph 4 on
          the date of such Change of Control shall be equal to the Target PSUs
          (adjusted as provided in Sections 13 and 15 of the Plan) multiplied
          by the Payout Percentage determined under Paragraph 2 (without
          proration); and
        
	

        	

        	
           
        
	

        	
          (c)
        	
          No additional PSUs subject to this Agreement shall become vested
          thereafter.
        

    

    
      5.                 Dividend
      Equivalent Rights.  The number of PSUs attributable to dividend
      equivalent rights shall be determined after the Grantee’s Payout
      Percentage has been determined and shall be equal to the sum of the
      product of the following determined as of each dividend payment date
      during the Performance Period: (i) the number of PSUs becoming vested
      pursuant to Paragraph 2 or Paragraph 4 (as applicable) plus any PSUs
      attributable to dividend equivalent rights with respect to prior
      dividend payment dates within the Performance Period, multiplied by (ii)
      the dollar amount of the per share cash dividend, and divided by (iii)
      the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the dividend payment
      date.
    

    
      6.                 Restrictions.  The
      Grantee may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber or
      dispose of the PSUs covered by this Agreement, and any attempt to do so
      shall be void.  
    

    
      7.                 Rights
      as Shareholder.  The Grantee shall have no rights as a shareholder
      with respect to PSUs covered by this Agreement unless and until shares
      of Common Stock are registered pursuant to Paragraph 9.  
    

    
      8.                 Withholding
      of Taxes.  The obligation to register shares of Common Stock on the
      Registration Date shall be subject to the Grantee satisfying applicable
      federal, state and local tax withholding requirements.  The Grantee may
      satisfy the federal, state and/or local withholding tax by electing to
      have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
      delivered on the Registration Date; provided, however, that the Company
      may limit the number of shares withheld to satisfy the tax withholding
      requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse accounting
      consequences.  Such election shall be made no later than the first
      anniversary of the Grant Date in accordance with procedures prescribed
      by the Committee; provided, however, that in the event vesting occurs
      before the first anniversary of the Grant Date under Paragraph 4 or
      under Paragraph 2 on account of an Anticipatory Termination Triggering
      Event, such election shall be made no later than the date of such Change
      of Control or ten days after such Anticipatory Termination Triggering
      Event, as applicable.
    

    
      
        

        

      

      
        

        

        
          

        

      

      
        

        

      

    

    
      9.                 Registration
      of Shares.  One share of Common Stock shall be registered in the
      Grantee’s name on the Registration Date for each PSU that becomes vested
      under Paragraph 2 or under Paragraph 4, and for each PSU attributable to
      dividend equivalent rights under Paragraph 5.   The “Registration Date”
      shall be (a) in the event PSUs become vested under Paragraph 2, and
      Paragraph 3(a) or 3(c) applies to the PSUs, within the Short-Term
      Deferral Period, (b) in the event PSUs become vested under Paragraph 2,
      and Paragraph 3(d) (regarding Anticipatory Termination) applies to the
      PSUs, on the 30th day following such Termination of Service,
      and (c) in the event PSUs become vested under Paragraph 4, no later than
      five days after the date of the Change of Control.  Any fractional PSU
      shall be payable in cash on the Registration Date.
    

    
      10.                Employment
      of Grantee.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
      constituting an agreement or understanding of any kind or nature that
      the Company or a Related Corporation shall continue to employ the
      Grantee, nor shall this Agreement affect in any way the right of the
      Company or a Related Corporation to terminate the employment of the
      Grantee at any time.
    

    
      11.                No
      Section 83(b) Election.  The Grantee may not make an election under
      section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with
      respect to PSUs.
    

    
      12.                Governing
      Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
      Tennessee (without reference to principles of conflicts of laws), to the
      extent not governed by Federal law.
    

    
           IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be
      duly executed by a duly authorized officer, and the Grantee has hereunto
      set his hand.
