(B) that the supplemental warrant agreement, if any, when executed and delivered by the Company, the Guarantor and the Warrant Agent, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of each of the Company and the Guarantor;

(C) that such Warrants, when authenticated and delivered by the Warrant Agent and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, and will be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement;

(D) that the Company has the corporate power to issue the Warrants, and has duly taken all necessary action with respect to such issuance;

(E) that the Guarantor has the corporate power to guarantee the Warrants, and has duly taken all necessary action with respect to such guarantee;

(F) that the issuance of the Warrants will not contravene the certificate of incorporation or By-laws of the Company or result in any violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or regulation or of any indenture, mortgage or other agreement by which the Company is bound;

(G) that the Guarantee of the Warrants will not contravene the certificate of incorporation or By-laws of the Guarantor or result in any violation of any of the terms or provisions of any law or regulation or of any indenture, mortgage or other agreement by which the Guarantor is bound and under which long-term debt of the Guarantor as reflected in its latest financial statements on file with the SEC is outstanding;

(H) that all requirements of the Agreement applicable to the Company in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of the Warrants and applicable to the Guarantor in respect of the Guarantee and of such supplemental warrant agreement, if any, have been complied with and, that assuming (a) all requisite corporate authorization on the part of the Warrant Agent, (b) continued compliance by the Warrant Agent with the terms of the Agreement specifically applicable to the Warrant Agent, and (c) due authentication and delivery of the Warrants by the Warrant Agent, the execution and delivery of such supplemental warrant agreement, if any, will not violate the terms of this Agreement, and that, other than compliance with federal and state securities laws, no authorization, approval or consent by any regulatory or statutory or other public authority is required in connection with the execution and delivery of such supplemental warrant agreement or for the creation, issuance, authentication and delivery of the Warrants pursuant to the Agreement;

(I) all conditions precedent provided for in the Agreement (including any covenants compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent) to the Warrant Agent’s authentication and delivery of the Warrants have been complied with; and

(J) the amount of Warrants to be outstanding upon issuance does not exceed any limit established under the terms of the Warrant Agreement on the amount of Warrants of a series that may be authenticated and delivered.

(d) The Warrant Agent shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver the Warrants under this Section if the issue of the Warrants pursuant to this Agreement will affect the Warrant Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Warrants and this Agreement or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Warrant Agent.

(e) Each Warrant shall be dated the date of its authentication, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Warrants of such series.

(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.02, if all of the Warrants of any series are not to be originally issued at the same time, then the documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.02 must be delivered only once, prior to the authentication and delivery of the first Warrant of such series; provided, however, that any subsequent request by the Company to the Warrant Agent to authenticate Warrants of such series upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company and the Guarantor that, as of the date of such request, the statements made in any Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.02 shall be true and correct as if made on such date.

(g) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Warrants of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Warrants, then the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Warrants that (i) shall represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate amount of the outstanding Warrants of such series to be represented by such Global Warrants, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depositary for such Global Warrant or Global Warrants or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Warrants represented hereby, this Global Warrant may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.” The aggregate amount of each Global Warrant may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Warrant Custodian, as provided in this Agreement.

(h) Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.01 for a Global Warrant in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as such Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

(i) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Members”) shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Warrant held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Warrant Custodian under such Global Warrant, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantor, the Warrant Agent, the Paying Agent and the Registrar and any of their agents as the absolute owner of such Global Warrant for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Warrant Agent, the Paying Agent or the Registrar or any of their agents from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Warrant. The registered holder of a Global Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Members and Persons that may hold interests through Members, to take any action that a holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Warrants.

(j) No Warrant shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Warrant a certificate of

authentication substantially in one of the forms provided for herein duly executed by the Warrant Agent or by an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of one of its Responsible Officers, and such certificate upon any Warrant shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Warrant has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.03. Temporary Warrants.

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Warrants of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Warrants that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Warrants in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Warrants may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Warrants. Any such temporary Warrant may be in global form, representing all or a portion of the outstanding Warrants of such series. Every such temporary Warrant shall be executed by the Company and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Warrant Agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Warrant or Warrants in lieu of which it is issued.

(b) If temporary Warrants of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Warrants of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Warrants issuable as Bearer Warrants or as one or more Global Warrants representing individual Bearer Warrants of such series, (i) after the preparation of definitive Warrants of such series, the temporary Warrants of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Warrants of such series upon surrender of such temporary Warrants at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the holder, except as provided in Section 3.06 and except that a Person receiving definitive Bearer Warrants shall bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, and (ii) upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Warrants of any series, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like amount of definitive Warrants of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Warrant shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Warrant; and provided, further, that delivery of a Global Warrant representing individual Bearer Warrants or a Bearer Warrant shall occur only outside the United States. Until so exchanged, the temporary Warrants of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Warrants of such series.

(c) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company will execute and deliver each definitive Global Warrant representing individual Bearer Warrants and each Bearer Warrant to the Warrant Agent at its principal office in London or such other place outside the United States specified pursuant to Section 3.01.

(d) Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Warrant for a definitive Global Warrant or for the individual Warrants represented thereby pursuant to this

Section 3.03 or Section 3.06, the temporary Global Warrant shall be endorsed by the Warrant Agent to reflect the reduction of the amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the amount of such temporary Global Warrant shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed.

SECTION 3.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Company will keep, at an office or agency to be maintained by it in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, or in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, where Registered Warrants may be presented for registration or presented and surrendered for registration of transfer or of exchange (the “Registrar”), a security register for the registration and the registration of transfer or of exchange of the Registered Warrants (the registers maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Register”), as in this Agreement provided, which Register shall at all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Warrant Agent. Such Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars; the term “Registrar” includes any co-Registrar. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent at its Corporate Trust Office as Registrar in connection with the Warrants and this Agreement, until such time as another Person is appointed as such.

(b) The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Warrants, an office or agency where Warrants of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment or where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Warrants of such series and this Agreement may be served (the “Paying Agent”). So long as any Bearer Warrants of any series remain outstanding, the Company will maintain for such purposes one or more offices or agencies outside the United States in such city or cities specified pursuant to Section 3.01 and, if any Bearer Warrants are listed on a securities exchange that requires an office or agency for the payment of any amounts on such Bearer Warrants in a location other than the location of an office or agency specified pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company will maintain for such purposes an office or agency in such location so long as any Bearer Warrants are listed on such securities exchange and such exchange so requires. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Warrant Agent with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Warrant Agent (in the case of Registered Warrants) and at the principal London office of the Warrant Agent (in the case of Bearer Warrants). The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in connection with the Warrants and this Agreement, until such time as another Person is appointed as such.

(c) The Company may also from time to time designate different or additional offices or agencies where the Warrants of any series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of the purposes described in Sections 3.04(a) and 3.04(b) (in or outside of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time rescind any such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations

described in the preceding paragraphs. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent of any such additional designation or rescission of designation and of any change in the location of any such different or additional office or agency. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Agreement. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Agreement that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Warrant Agent of the name and address of each such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Warrant Agent shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.02(a). The Company, the Guarantor, or any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor may act as Registrar or Paying Agent.

SECTION 3.05. DTC Agent.

(a) The Company may from time to time designate an office or agency (the “DTC Agent”), which acts as agent for the Depositary or any successor depositary selected by the Company, to accept delivery of each Global Warrant representing the Warrants and record such Global Warrant in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary (a “Book-Entry Warrant”). In connection with the qualification of the Book-Entry Warrants for eligibility in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary, the DTC Agent will perform the custodial, document control and administrative functions described in the agency agreement into which the DTC Agent and the Company may enter.

(b) The Company may also from time to time designate different or additional offices or agencies where the Warrants of any series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of the purposes described in Section 3.05(a), and may from time to time rescind any such designation. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Warrant Agent of any such additional designation or rescission of designation and of any change in the location of any such different or additional office or agency. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any DTC Agent not a party to this Agreement. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Agreement that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Warrant Agent of the name and address of each such agent. The Company, the Guarantor, or any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor may act as DTC Agent.

SECTION 3.06. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer.

(i) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Warrant of any series at the Registrar the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Registered Warrants of the same series for like aggregate amount of any authorized denomination or denominations. The transfer of any Warrant shall not be valid as against the Company, the Guarantor or the Warrant Agent unless registered at the Registrar by the registered holder, or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Warrants represented thereby, a Global Warrant representing all or a portion of the Warrants of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(b) Exchange.

(i) At the option of the holder, Registered Warrants of any series (other than a Global Warrant, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for other Registered Warrants of the same series for like aggregate amount of any authorized denomination or denominations, upon surrender of the Registered Warrants to be exchanged at the Registrar. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, in no event may Registered Warrants, including Registered Warrants received in exchange for Bearer Warrants, be exchanged for Bearer Warrants.

(ii) At the option of the holder, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01(s) with respect to a Global Warrant representing Bearer Warrants, Bearer Warrants of any series may be exchanged for Registered Warrants (if the Warrants of such series are issuable as Registered Warrants) or Bearer Warrants of the same series, for like aggregate amount of any authorized denomination or denominations, upon surrender of the Bearer Warrants to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose; provided, however, that delivery of a Bearer Warrant shall occur only outside the United States.

(iii) Whenever any Warrants are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Warrants that the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Warrants for Registered Warrants will be subject to the provisions of United States income tax laws and regulations applicable to Warrants in effect at the time of such exchange.

(c) Exchange of Global Warrants for Individual Warrants. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in Global Warrants will not be entitled to receive individual Warrants.

(i) Individual Warrants shall be issued to all owners of beneficial interests in a Global Warrant in exchange for such interests if:

(A) at any time the Depositary for the Warrants of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Warrants of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Warrants of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.02(h) and, in each case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or

(B) the Company executes and delivers to the Warrant Agent and the Registrar an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Global Warrant shall be so exchangeable.

In connection with the exchange of an entire Global Warrant for individual Warrants pursuant to this subsection (c), such Global Warrant shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Warrants of such series, will authenticate and deliver to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Warrant, an equal aggregate amount of individual Warrants of authorized denominations.

(ii) If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Warrants, the Depositary for such series of Warrants may surrender a Global Warrant for such series of Warrants in exchange in whole or in part for individual Warrants of such series on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

(A) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new individual Warrant or Warrants of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Warrant; and

(B) to such Depositary a new Global Warrant in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of the surrendered Global Warrant and the aggregate amount of individual Warrants delivered to holders thereof.

(iii) In any exchange provided for in clauses (i) through (ii), the Company will execute and the Warrant Agent will authenticate and deliver individual Warrants (a) in registered form in authorized denominations, if the Warrants of such series are issuable as Registered Warrants, (b) in bearer form in authorized denominations, if the Warrants of such series are issuable as Bearer Warrants or (c) as either Registered or Bearer Warrants, if the Warrants of such series are issuable in either form; provided, however, that individual Bearer Warrants shall be delivered in exchange for a Global Warrant only in accordance with the procedures specified pursuant to Section 3.01.

(iv) Upon the exchange in full of a Global Warrant for individual Warrants, such Global Warrant shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Individual Registered Warrants issued in exchange for a Global Warrant pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Warrant, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall deliver such Registered Warrants to the Persons in whose names such Registered Warrants are so registered. The Warrant Agent shall deliver individual Bearer Warrants issued in exchange for a Global Warrant pursuant to this Section to the Persons and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Warrant, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Warrant

Agent; provided, however, that individual Bearer Warrants shall be delivered in exchange for a Global Warrant only in accordance with the procedures as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange of Bearer Warrants for Registered Warrants will be subject to the provisions of United States income tax laws and regulations applicable to Warrants in effect at the time of such exchange.

(e) All Warrants issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrants shall be valid obligations of the Company (and, as with respect to the Guarantee, the Guarantor) evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrants surrendered for such registration of transfer or exchange.

(f) Every Registered Warrant presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, or for exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Company, the Warrant Agent or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Registrar, duly executed by the holder thereof or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.

(g) No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrants except as provided in Section 3.03(b) or 3.07. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrants, other than those expressly provided in this Agreement to be made at the Company’s own expense or without expense or charge to the holders.

(h) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer or exchange of any Warrant, the Company, the Guarantor, the Warrant Agent, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Warrant is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant (whether or not such Warrant shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for all purposes whatsoever, and none of the Company, the Guarantor, the Warrant Agent, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(i) In case a successor Company (“Successor Company”) has executed a warrant agreement supplemental hereto with the Warrant Agent, any of the Warrants authenticated or delivered prior to such transaction may, from time to time, at the request of the Successor Company, be exchanged for other Warrants executed in the name of the Successor Company with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise identical to the Warrants surrendered for such exchange and of like amount; and the Warrant Agent, upon Company Order of the Successor Company, shall authenticate and deliver Warrants as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Warrants shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a Successor Company pursuant to this Section 3.06 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Warrants, such Successor Company, at the option of the holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Warrants at the time outstanding for Warrants authenticated and delivered in such new name.

(j) Each holder of a Warrant agrees to indemnify the Company and the Warrant Agent against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such holder’s Warrant in violation of any provision of this Agreement and/or applicable United States federal or state securities laws.

(k) The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Warrant other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(l) Neither the Warrant Agent nor any agent of the Warrant Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 3.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Warrants.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Warrant is surrendered to the Warrant Agent at its Corporate Trust Office (in the case of Registered Warrants) or at its principal London office (in the case of Bearer Warrants) or (ii) the Company and the Warrant Agent receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Warrant, and there is delivered to the Company and the Warrant Agent security or indemnity satisfactory to them to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent receives notice that such Warrant has been acquired by a protected purchaser, then the Company shall execute and upon Company Request the Warrant Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant, a new Warrant of the same series and of like tenor, form, terms and amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant has become or is about to become exercisable and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Warrant, pay the amount due on the exercise of such Warrant in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that any payment on Bearer Warrants shall be made only at an office or agency located outside the United States.

(c) Upon the issuance of any new Warrant under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in respect thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) connected therewith.

(d) Every new Warrant of any series issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrants of that series duly issued hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Warrants.

SECTION 3.08. Cancellation. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Warrants of any series, all Warrants surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange or otherwise shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Warrant Agent, be delivered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation and shall be promptly canceled by it and, if surrendered to the Warrant Agent, shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation any Warrants previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Warrants so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Warrant Agent. No Warrants shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Warrants canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall dispose of all canceled Warrants held by it in accordance with its then customary procedures and deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company. The acquisition of any Warrants by the Company shall not operate as satisfaction of the obligation represented thereby unless and until such Warrants are surrendered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation.

SECTION 3.09. Currency of Payments in Respect of Cash-Settled Warrants.

(a) Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Bearer Warrants of any series, payment of the Settlement Amount, if any, on Bearer Warrants of such series denominated in any Currency will be made in such Currency.

(b) Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Registered Warrants of any series, payment of the Settlement Amount, if any, on Registered Warrants of such series will be made in U.S. Dollars.

(c) For purposes of any provision of this Agreement where the holders of outstanding Warrants may perform an action that requires that a specified percentage of the outstanding Warrants of all series perform such action and for purposes of any decision or determination by the Warrant Agent of amounts due and unpaid on the Warrants of all series in respect of which monies are to be disbursed ratably, the Settlement Amount, if any, on the outstanding Warrants denominated in a Foreign Currency will be the amount in U.S. Dollars based upon exchange rates, determined as specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Warrants of such series, as of the date for determining whether the holders entitled to perform such action have performed it or as of the date of such decision or determination by the Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

(d) Any decision or determination to be made regarding exchange rates shall be made by an agent appointed by the Company; provided that such agent shall accept such appointment in writing and the terms of such appointment shall, in the opinion of the Company at the time of such appointment, require such agent to make such determination by a method consistent with the method provided pursuant to Section 3.01 for the making of such decision or determination. All decisions and determinations of such agent regarding exchange rates shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes

and irrevocably binding upon the Company, the Guarantor, the Warrant Agent and all holders of the Warrants.

SECTION 3.10. Return of Monies Held Unclaimed for Two Years. Any money deposited with the Warrant Agent or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, for the payment on any Warrant of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request along with, if applicable, any interest that has accumulated thereon as a result of such money being invested at the direction of the Company and the holder of such Warrant shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company (except as with regards to the Guarantee) for payment of such amounts without interest thereon, and all liability of the Warrant Agent, the Company or such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent or such Paying Agent before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be transmitted in the manner and to the extent provided by Section 9.04, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 3.11. Judgments. The Company and the Guarantor may provide pursuant to Section 3.01 for Warrants of any series that (a) the obligation, if any, of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, to make payments on the Warrants of any series in a Foreign Currency or U.S. Dollars (the “Designated Currency”) as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01 is of the essence and agrees that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, judgments in respect of such Warrants shall be given in the Designated Currency; (b) the obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, to make payments in the Designated Currency on such Warrants shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other Currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the Designated Currency that the holder receiving such payment may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other Currency (after any premium and cost of exchange) on the business day in the country of issue of the Designated Currency or in the international banking community (in the case of a composite currency) immediately following the day on which such holder receives such payment; (c) if the amount in the Designated Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and (d) any obligation of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, not discharged by such payment shall be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect.

SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing any Warrants may use CUSIP numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such series, the Warrant Agent may use such numbers in any notice of exchange with respect to such series provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Warrants or as contained in any notice of exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Warrants, and any such exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The

Company will promptly notify the Warrant Agent in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

SECTION 4.01. General. Each Warrant of any series entitles the holder thereof, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to receive, upon exercise, the applicable Settlement Amount, if any, to be delivered upon exercise with respect to such Warrant as specified pursuant to Section 3.01. Warrants of any series may be exercised only in such minimum amounts and multiples of Warrants as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01. An exercise price or other amount of cash or underlying assets may be payable by a holder upon exercise of a Warrant of any series if so specified pursuant to Section 3.01. The Company may appoint a Calculation Agent with respect to each series of Warrants to make such calculations as may be required with respect to such series of Warrants.

(ii) (x) notify the Company and the calculation agent designated for the particular series of Warrants, if any (the “Calculation Agent”), the Paying Agent (if a Person different than the Warrant Agent), and such other parties as the Company shall designate in writing, by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day on which such Exercise Notice was received of the total number of Warrants covered by such Exercise Notice (y) the account details for payment of the Cash Settlement Amount or delivery details for payment of the Physical Settlement Amount, and (z) such additional information relating to such exercised Warrants as the Company requests to enable the

Company to make payment to the Warrant Agent of the aggregate amount, if any, payable to Warrantholders on the Settlement Date; and

Absent manifest error, the Warrant Agent’s records shall be conclusive evidence of such matters.

(b) The Company hereby appoints U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) as initial Warrant Agent of the Company in respect of series of Warrants to be issued to Safety First trusts in connection with any issuance of Safety First trust certificates, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and U.S. Bank hereby accepts such appointment. The Warrant Agent covenants and agrees to maintain an office, staffed by qualified personnel, with adequate facilities for the discharge of its responsibilities under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment of any amounts due under the Warrants of any series, as calculated by the Calculation Agent for that series, and the timely settlement of the Warrants upon exercise thereof.

(a) The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as the Company and the Warrant Agent shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent hereunder (including in any other agent capacity in which it acts). The Company shall reimburse the Warrant Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. 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 such Warrant Agent hereunder, as well as the reasonable costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of

its powers or duties hereunder. This section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the earlier removal or resignation of the Warrant Agent.

(b) In acting under this Agreement, the Warrant Agent is acting solely as agent of the Company and does not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the owners or holders of the Warrants.

(c) The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it, and the opinion 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 opinion of such counsel.

(d) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company or the Guarantor mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by, and whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, offering or omitting any action hereunder, the Warrant Agent may rely upon, an Officers’ Certificate of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); provided, however, that no additional certificate need be furnished by the Company or the Guarantor pursuant to Section 9.02 if the Warrant Agent requests a certificate pursuant to this Section 7.02(d).

(e) The Warrant Agent shall be fully protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or thing suffered by it in reliance upon any notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or signed by the proper parties, and the Warrant Agent may, if it shall deem it necessary or desirable, request such papers or documents prior to taking any action hereunder.

(f) The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors, agents and employees, may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Warrants or other obligations of the Company, 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 Warrants or other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not the Warrant Agent hereunder.

(g) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any liability for interest on any monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement nor shall it be obligated to segregate such monies from other monies held by it, except as required by law. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for advancing funds on behalf of the Company.

(h) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility with respect to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Warrant Agent) or with respect to the validity or execution of the Global Warrants (except its countersignature thereof).

(i) The recitals contained herein and in the Global Warrants (except as to the Warrant Agent’s countersignature thereon) shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Guarantor, and the Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.

(j) The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties as are herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder likely to involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which is not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the application by the Company of any proceeds. 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 in any Global Warrant or in the case of the receipt of any written demand from a holder of a Warrant 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 to make any demand upon the Company.

(k) The Warrant Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document.

SECTION 7.03. Resignation and Appointment of Successor. (a) The Company agrees, for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Warrants of each series, that there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder until all the Warrants of each series are no longer outstanding.

(b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such agent by giving notice in writing to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective, subject to the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent and acceptance of such appointment by such successor Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent hereunder at any time by giving notice in writing to the Warrant Agent, specifying such removal and the 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 banking institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or one of the states thereof and having an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Warrant Agent. In the event a successor Warrant Agent has not been appointed and accepted its duties within 30 days of the Warrant Agent’s notice of resignation or its removal, the Warrant Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the designation of a successor Warrant Agent. The obligation of the Company under Section 7.02(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 give notice of its intent to resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or consent to the appointment of a receiver or custodian of all or any substantial part of its property, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as they mature, or if a receiver or custodian of it or of all or any substantial part of its property shall be appointed, or if any public officer shall have taken charge or control of the Warrant Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, a successor Warrant Agent, qualified as described in Section 7.03(b), shall be promptly 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 latter of such appointment, the Warrant Agent so superseded shall cease to be Warrant Agent hereunder.

(d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder with respect to the Warrants of one or more series 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, 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 due and unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to assign, 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. Nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or the successor Warrant Agent, such predecessor, upon payment of its said charges and disbursements, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the rights and powers of such predecessor and shall assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to the successor Warrant Agent all monies, securities and other property held by such predecessor; and, upon request of any such successor Warrant Agent, the Company and the Guarantor shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, rights, powers, immunities, duties and obligations.

(e) Any Person into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged or converted or any corporation with which the Warrant Agent may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any Person to which the Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all the corporate trust assets and business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified as described in Section 7.03(b). In case at the time such Person shall become successor Warrant Agent with respect to one or more series of Warrants, any of such Warrants shall have been authenticated but not delivered by the Warrant Agent then in office, any successor Warrant Agent may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor, and deliver such Warrants so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Warrants shall not have been authenticated, any successor Warrant Agent may authenticate such Warrants either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Warrants or in

this Agreement provided that the certificate of the Warrant Agent shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor or authenticate Warrants in the name of any predecessor shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

SECTION 7.04. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Warrant Agent may appoint an agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Warrants. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Warrants whenever the Warrant Agent may do so. Each reference in this Agreement to authentication by the Warrant Agent includes authentication by the Authenticating Agent.

ARTICLE VIII

SECTION 8.01. Full and Unconditional Guarantee.

(a) The Guarantor does hereby fully and unconditionally guarantee (the “Guarantee”) to the holders all payments on the Warrants when due, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, as provided below.

(b) The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of the Guarantee and of default of performance by the Company, and hereby agrees that payment under the Guarantee shall be subject to no condition other than the giving of a written request for payment, stating the fact of default of performance, in the manner provided in Section 9.04. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

(c) The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall in no way be impaired by: (1) any extension, amendment, modification or renewal of the Warrants; (2) any waiver of any default, extension of time or failure to enforce any of the Warrants; or (3) any extension, moratorium or other relief granted to the Company pursuant to any applicable law or statute.

(d) The Guarantor shall be obligated to make payment under the Guarantee, for the benefit of the holders, at the same address as the Company is obligated to make payment.

(e) Subject to clause (f) below, the Guarantor hereby agrees that:

(i) the Warrants will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Warrants, and of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Warrant Agent with respect thereto; and

(ii) the liability of the Guarantor to the extent herein set forth shall be absolute and unconditional, not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, termination, defense, offset, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever (all of which are hereby

expressly waived by the Guarantor) whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, or by reason of any liability at any time to the Guarantor or otherwise, whether based upon any obligations or any other agreement or otherwise, and howsoever arising, whether out of action or inaction or otherwise and whether resulting from default, willful misconduct, negligence or otherwise, and without limiting the foregoing, irrespective of:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any agreement or instrument relating to the Warrants;

(B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Warrants, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any other agreement relating to any Warrants;

(C) any increase in, addition to, exchange or release of, or nonperfection of any lien on or security interest in, any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from or failure to enforce any other guarantee, for all or any of the indebtedness;

(D) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company in respect of the Warrants;

(E) the absence of any action on the part of the Warrant Agent to obtain payment of the Warrants from the Company;

(F) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution, or any similar proceeding of the Company, including, without limitation, rejection of the Warrants in such bankruptcy; or

(G) the absence of notice or any delay in any action to enforce any Warrants or to exercise any right or remedy against the Guarantor or the Company, whether hereunder, under any Warrants or any agreement or any indulgence, compromise or extension granted.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, the Guarantor does not waive any defense that would be available to the Company based on a breach, default or misrepresentation by the Warrant Agent, or failure of any condition to the Company’s obligations under this Agreement or the illegality of any provision of this Agreement.

(g) The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent that the Company or the Guarantor makes a payment or payments to the Warrant Agent, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to the Company or the Guarantor or their respective estate, trustee, receiver or any other party under any federal bankruptcy laws, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, this Guarantee and the advances or part thereof which have been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be

reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.

SECTION 8.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

(a) If an officer whose signature is on this Agreement or the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Warrant Agent authenticates the Warrant on which the Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

(b) The delivery of any Warrant by the Warrant Agent, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Agreement on behalf of the Guarantor.

SECTION 8.03. Waiver of Subrogation. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the holders of Warrants and the Warrant Agent against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such holders by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the payments due in respect of all Warrants of the same series issued under this Agreement shall have been made in full.

SECTION 8.04. Limitation on Liens.

(a) The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is secured by a pledge of, lien on, or security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any Significant Subsidiary, whether such Voting Stock is now owned or shall hereafter be acquired, without effectively providing that the Warrants (together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other indebtedness or obligations of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary ranking equally with such Warrants and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness. For the purposes of the foregoing, pledging, placing a lien on or creating a security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of a Significant Subsidiary in order to secure then outstanding Indebtedness of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the incurrence, issuance, assumption or guarantee (as the case may be) of such Indebtedness, but the foregoing shall not apply to Indebtedness secured by a pledge of, lien on or security interest in any shares of Voting Stock of any corporation at the time it becomes a Significant Subsidiary, including extensions, renewals and replacements of such Indebtedness without increase in the amount thereof.

(b) For the purposes of subsection (a) of this Section 8.04, the term “Voting Stock” shall mean capital stock the holders of which have general voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect a majority of the board of directors of a corporation provided that, for the purposes hereof, capital stock which carries only the right to vote conditioned on the happening of an event shall not be considered voting stock whether or not such event shall have happened.

(c) For the purposes of subsection (a) of this Section 8.04, the term “Significant Subsidiary” shall mean a Subsidiary, including its Subsidiaries, which meets any of the following conditions:

(i) The Guarantor’s and its Subsidiaries’ investments in and advances to the Subsidiary exceed 10 percent of the total assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year;

(ii) The Guarantor’s and its Subsidiaries’ proportionate share of the total assets (after inter-company eliminations) of the Subsidiary exceeds 10 percent of the total assets of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year; or

(iii) The Guarantor’s and its Subsidiaries’ equity in the income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of the Subsidiary exceeds 10 percent of such income of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated for the most recently completed fiscal year.

(d) For the purposes of making the prescribed income test in clause (iii) of subsection (c) of this Section 8.04, the following shall be applicable:

(i) When a loss has been incurred by either the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated or the tested Subsidiary, but not both, the equity in the income or loss of the tested Subsidiary shall be excluded from the income of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated for purposes of the computation; and

(ii) If income of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries consolidated for the most recent fiscal year is at least 10 percent lower than the average of the income for the last five fiscal years, such average income shall be substituted for purposes of the computation. Any loss years shall be omitted for purposes of computing average income.

SECTION 8.05. Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.

(a) The Guarantor will not consolidate with any other entity or accept a merger of any other entity into the Guarantor or permit the Guarantor to be merged into any other entity, or sell other than for cash or lease all or substantially all its assets to another entity, or purchase all or substantially all the assets of another entity, unless (i) either the Guarantor shall be the continuing entity, or the successor, transferee or lessee entity (if other than the Guarantor) shall expressly assume, by amendment hereto satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, executed and delivered by such entity prior to or simultaneously with such consolidation, merger, sale or lease, the full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the payments due upon exercise with respect to all the Warrants, and the performance and observance of all other obligations of the Company to the holders and the Warrant Agent under this Agreement or under the Warrants, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or purchase the Guarantor or the successor, transferee or lessee entity (if other than the Guarantor) would not be in default in the performance of any covenant or condition of this Agreement. A purchase by a Subsidiary of all or substantially all of the assets of another entity shall not be deemed to be a purchase of such assets by the Guarantor.

(b) Upon any consolidation with or merger into any other entity, or any sale, conveyance or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor in accordance with

this Section 8.05, the successor entity formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Guarantor is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this Agreement with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Guarantor herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Guarantor shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Guarantee.

SECTION 8.06. Assumption by Guarantor.

(a) The Guarantor may, without the consent of the holders, assume all of the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to a series of Warrants and under the Warrants of such series. Upon such an assumption, the Guarantor shall execute an amended agreement evidencing its assumption of all such rights and obligations of the Company and the Company shall be released from its liabilities hereunder and under such Warrants as obligor on the Warrants of such series.

(b) The Guarantor shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder with respect to a series of Warrants and under the Warrants of such series, if, upon a default by the Company in the due and punctual payment due on such Warrants, the Guarantor is prevented by any court order or judicial proceeding from fulfilling its obligations under Section 8.01 with respect to such series of Warrants. Such assumption shall result in the Warrants of such series becoming the direct obligations of the Guarantor and shall be effected without the consent of the holders of the Warrants of any series. Upon such an assumption, the Guarantor shall execute an amendment to this Agreement evidencing its assumption of all such rights and obligations of the Company, and the Company shall be released from its liabilities hereunder and under such Warrants as obligor on the Warrants of such series.

SECTION 8.07. Article Eight Applicable to Paying Agent. At any time that a Paying Agent other than the Warrant Agent shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Warrant Agent” as used in this Article Eight shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article Eight in addition to or in place of the Warrant Agent.

SECTION 8.08. No Suspension of Remedies. Nothing contained in this Article Eight shall limit the right of the Warrant Agent or the holders of Warrants to take any action to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 9.01. Amendment. (a) This Agreement and the terms of the Warrants may be amended by the Company, the Guarantor and the Warrant Agent, without the consent of the Warrantholders, for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision contained herein or therein, to maintain the Warrants’ listing on any national securities exchange, securities association or self-regulatory

organization on which they are then listed, to register the Warrants under the Exchange Act, to permit the issuance of individual Warrants to Warrantholders, to reflect the issuance by the Company of additional warrants of the same series or to reflect the appointment of a successor Depositary, or in any other manner which the Company may deem necessary or desirable and which, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, will not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Warrants.

(b) The Company, the Guarantor and the Warrant Agent may modify or amend this Agreement and the terms of the related Warrants, with the consent of Warrantholders holding not less than a majority in amount of the then outstanding Warrants affected by such modification or amendment, for any purpose; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment that changes the determination of the Settlement Amount of a Warrant (or any aspects of such determination) so as to reduce the amount receivable upon exercise of a Warrant, shortens the period of time during which the Warrants may be exercised, or otherwise materially and adversely affects the exercise rights of the Warrantholders or reduces the percentage of the amount of outstanding Warrants, the consent of whose holders is required for modification or amendment of this Agreement or the terms of the related Warrants, may be made without the consent of each Warrantholder affected thereby. The Warrant Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any amendment of this Agreement that affects its rights, duties, immunities or indemnities hereunder.

SECTION 9.02. Certificates and Opinions as to Conditions Precedent.

(a) Upon any request or application by the Company to the Warrant Agent to take any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Company or the Guarantor shall furnish to the Warrant Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such document is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

(b) Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Agreement and delivered to the Warrant Agent with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Agreement shall include (i) a statement that the Person making giving such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition; (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based; (iii) a statement that, in the view or opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such Person to express an informed view or opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and (iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the view or opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

(c) Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company or the Guarantor may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care

should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or certificate, statement or opinion is based are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate, statement or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company or the Guarantor stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company or the Guarantor, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

(d) In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

(e) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

SECTION 9.03. Notices to the Company, Guarantor and Warrant Agent. Any notice, demand or other document authorized by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the Company, the Guarantor or the Warrant Agent shall be sufficiently made, given, furnished or filed for all purposes if it shall be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to:

(a) the Company, at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Assistant Treasurer, fax: (000) 000-0000 or at such other address or facsimile number as may have been furnished in writing to the Warrant Agent by the Company.

SECTION 9.04. Notices to Holders; Waiver.

(a) The Company may cause to have notice given to the Warrantholders by (i) with respect to holders of Registered Warrants, providing the Warrant Agent with a form of notice to be distributed by the Depositary to Members in accordance with the custom and practices of the Depositary and (ii) with respect to holders of Bearer Warrants, publishing such

notice on two separate Business Days in an Authorized Newspaper or Newspapers in such Place or Places of Payment specified pursuant to Section 3.01.

(b) Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by holders shall be filed with the Warrant Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance on such waiver. In any case where notice to holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other holders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. In any case where notice to holders is given by publication, any defect in any notice so published as to any particular holder shall not affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other holders, and any notice that is published in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.

SECTION 9.05. Legal Holiday. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, in any case where any Settlement Date of the Warrants of a series shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment for the Warrants of that series, then payment of any amount due need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on such Settlement Date and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after such Settlement Date to such Business Day if such payment is made or duly provided for on such Business Day.

SECTION 9.06. Obtaining of Approvals. The Company will from time to time take all action which may be necessary to obtain and keep effective (a) any and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities and any United States national securities exchange on which any series of Warrants is listed and (b) any and all filings or notices under United States Federal and state securities laws, which may be or become required in connection with the issuance, sale, trading, transfer or delivery of the Global Warrants or the exercise of the Warrants.

SECTION 9.07. Persons Having Rights Under This Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied and nothing that may be inferred from any of the provisions hereof is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the Company, the Guarantor, the Warrant Agent, the registered holder of any Global Warrant and the Warrantholders any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof; and all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Guarantor, the Warrant Agent, and their respective successors, the registered holder of any Global Warrant and of the Warrantholders.
