MORGAN CHASE & CO., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), [_____________________], a New York banking corporation (the "Warrant Agent"), and [_____________________], a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Determination Agent"). WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell [put warrants] [call warrants] (the "Warrants" or, individually, a "Warrant"), representing the right to receive from the Company an amount in [name of payment currency] to be determined by reference to [decreases (in the case of Put Warrants)] [increases (in the case of Call Warrants)] [in the level of the [name of Reference Index] (the "Index")] [or in the levels (or relative levels) of two or more Indices or combinations of Indices] on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and WHEREAS the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance, transfer and exercise of the Warrants, and the Company desires to set forth herein, among other things, the provisions of the Warrants and the terms and conditions on which they may be issued, transferred, exercised and canceled; NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND FORM, EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND REGISTRATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES AND GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE SECTION 1.01. Issuance of Warrants. (a) The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and will rank on a parity with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt. (b) Each Warrant shall represent the right, upon exercise (including automatic exercise) subject to the provisions contained herein, to receive the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be (each as defined herein), of such Warrant. In no event shall a registered or beneficial holder of a Warrant (each a "Warrantholder") be entitled to receive any interest on any Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount. The Warrants will not entitle the Warrantholders to any of the rights of the holder of any security underlying the Index (an "Underlying Security") [alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. A Warrant will not require or entitle the Warrantholder thereof to sell, deliver, purchase or take delivery of any Underlying Security [alternative provision for indices not based on securities], nor will the Company be under any obligation to, nor will it, purchase or take delivery of, or sell or deliver, any such securities to or from Warrantholders. SECTION 1.02. Form, Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. (a) The Warrants, whenever issued, shall be represented by certificates in registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto (the "Warrant Certificates"), with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may represent any whole number of Warrants. The Warrant Certificates may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the officers of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto, or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, or of any securities depository, or to conform to usage. Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by any of the chairman of its Board of Directors, its president, any vice chairman of its Board of Directors or the chief financial officer (or any other officer certified by any of the foregoing officers in an Officers' Certificate to be an executive officer of the Issuer), in each case under its corporate seal which may, but need not be attested by its secretary or one or more of its assistant secretaries [except that the Global Warrant Certificate may be executed by any such officer without any necessity that such signature be under seal as aforesaid]. The signature of any of such officers may be either manual or facsimile. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Warrant Certificate that has been duly countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent. (b) In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed a Warrant Certificate, either manually or by facsimile signature, shall cease to be such officer before such Warrant Certificate shall have been countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Company or delivered by the Company, such Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though the person who signed such Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and the Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such 2 Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such person was not such officer. SECTION 1.03. Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, when executed on behalf of the Company in accordance with Section 1.02, shall be delivered to the Warrant Agent, which shall manually countersign and deliver the same to or upon the order of the Company. Each Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date of its countersignature. A Warrant Certificate shall not be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, unless and until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent. Such countersignature by an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate signed by the Company in accordance with Section 1.02 shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder. SECTION 1.04. Registration of Transfers and Exchange. (a) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant Certificates upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose (the "Warrant Register") at the Warrant Agent's Office (as defined herein), subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe, upon surrender thereof, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company, duly executed by the registered holder(s) thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a correspondent office in The City of New York or by a broker or dealer which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. (b) At the option of a Warrantholder, Warrant Certificates may be exchanged for other Warrant Certificates, representing a like number of Warrants, upon surrender to the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificates to be exchanged at its offices maintained for such purpose (the location of which shall be provided to the Company), which shall be in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (the "Warrant Agent's Office"), and which is, on the date of this Agreement, [_____________________], Attention: [__________], or at the office of any successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03). Upon surrender of any Warrant Certificate for exchange, the Warrant Agent shall cancel such Warrant Certificate, and the Company shall execute, and the Warrant Agent shall 3 countersign and deliver, in accordance with Sections 1.02 and 1.03, one or more new Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing a like number of unexercised Warrants. (c) Warrant Certificates issued upon transfer or exchange pursuant to Section 1.04(a) or (b) shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations of the Company as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for transfer or exchange, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as were such Warrant Certificates prior to such surrender. (d) Except as provided in Section 1.05, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates, other than exchanges pursuant to this Section 1.04 not involving any transfer. (e) In the event that upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate the number of Warrants exercised shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate, there shall be issued to the holder thereof or his assignee a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants not exercised. SECTION 1.05. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. (a) If any Warrant Certificate is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion execute, and the Warrant Agent may countersign and deliver, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in replacement for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, bearing an identification number not contemporaneously outstanding, but only (in case of loss, theft or destruction) upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and security or indemnity, if requested, also satisfactory to them. Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe. (b) In case any such mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate has been or is about to be exercised, or deemed to be exercised, the Company in its absolute discretion may, instead of issuing a new Warrant Certificate, direct the Warrant Agent to treat the same as if it had received the Warrant Certificate together with an irrevocable Exercise Notice (as defined 4 herein) in proper form in respect thereof, as provided herein, or as being subject to automatic exercise, as the case may be. (c) Each new Warrant Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 1.05 in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be an original, additional contractual obligation of the Company, and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificate that was lost, stolen or destroyed. (d) Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.05, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) connected therewith. (e) The provisions of this Section 1.05 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates. SECTION 1.06. Registered Holders. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and treat the person in whose name a Warrant Certificate shall be registered in the Warrant Register (a "Registered Holder") as the absolute owner of the Warrants evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Warrant Certificate) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. This Section 1.06 shall be without prejudice to the rights of Warrantholders as described elsewhere herein. SECTION 1.07. Global Warrant Certificate. (a) Any global certificate evidencing the Warrants (the "Global Warrant Certificate") issued in accordance with this Section 1.07 shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Agreement, and may represent any number of whole Warrants. The Global Warrant Certificate may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the officers of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or 5 regulation made pursuant thereto, or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrants may be listed or of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (the "Depository", which term, as used herein, includes any successor securities depository selected by the Company), or to conform to usage. Each Global Warrant Certificate shall be signed on behalf of the Company upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the Warrant Certificates (b) The Warrant Agent is authorized upon receipt of a Global Warrant Certificate from the Company, duly executed on behalf of the Company, to countersign such Global Warrant Certificate. The Global Warrant Certificate shall be manually countersigned and dated the date of its countersignature by the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The Warrant Agent shall deliver the Global Warrant Certificate to or upon the order of the Company against receipt of an appropriate amount of Certificated Warrants (as defined herein) (such Certificated Warrants shall be disposed of in accordance with instructions provided by the Company). One or more Global Warrant Certificates may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent on or after the date of execution of this Agreement; provided that only one Global Warrant Certificate shall be outstanding at any one time. The Company reserves the right to issue, from time to time after the date of execution of this Agreement, additional Warrants, and in connection therewith the Global Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for a new Global Warrant Certificate to reflect the issuance by the Company of such additional Warrants. To effect such an exchange the Company shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a new Global Warrant Certificate duly executed on behalf of the Company as provided in Section 1.02. The Warrant Agent shall countersign the new Global Warrant Certificate as provided in this Section and shall deliver the new Global Warrant Certificate to the Depository in exchange for, and upon receipt of, the Global Warrant Certificate then held by the Depository. The Warrant Agent shall cancel the Global Warrant Certificate delivered to it by the Depository, dispose of such Global Warrant Certificate and provide a certificate of disposition to the Company. (c) The Global Warrant Certificate will initially be registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository. The Warrant holdings of each entity (a "Participant") entitled to execute, clear and settle transactions through the Depository will be recorded on the books of the Depository. The holdings of customers of the Participants and the identity of the Warrantholders will be reflected on the books and records of such Participants and will not be known to the Warrant Agent, the Company or the Depository. The Global Warrant Certificate will be held by the Depository or its agent. Neither the Company nor 6 the Warrant Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to beneficial ownership interests in the Global Warrant Certificate or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Company may from time to time select a new entity to act as Depository with respect to the Warrants and, if such selection is made, the Company shall promptly give the Warrant Agent notice to such effect identifying the new Depository, and the Global Warrant Certificate shall be delivered to the Warrant Agent and shall be transferred to the new Depository as provided below as promptly as possible. Appropriate changes may be made in the forms of the Global Warrant Certificate, the Exercise Notice and the related notices to be delivered in connection with an exercise to reflect the selection of the new Depository. (d) Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Global Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of the Global Warrant Certificate in its records (which may be maintained electronically), subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe, only to the Depository, to another nominee of the Depository, to a successor Depository or to a nominee of a successor Depository, upon surrender of such Global Warrant Certificate, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company, duly executed by the registered holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof, or by its duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed by a bank or trust company with a correspondent office in The City of New York or by a broker or dealer which is a member of the NASD or by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Global Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. The Global Warrant Certificate may be transferred as provided in this Section, when surrendered to the Warrant Agent's Office, or at the office of any successor Warrant Agent (as provided in Section 5.03), for another Global Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing a like number of unexercised Warrants. 7 ARTICLE 2 DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS SECTION 2.01. Duration of Warrants; Minimum Exercise Amounts; Exercise Notice. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein and in Section 2.03, each Warrant may be irrevocably exercised in whole but not in part, immediately upon issuance. Except in the case of automatic exercise, each Warrant shall be irrevocably exercised either (A) in the case of Warrants represented by Warrant Certificates ("Certificated Warrants"), on any New York Business Day during the period from the date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date (established in or pursuant to a resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee of such Board duly authorized to act on its behalf (a "Board Resolution" or "Board Resolutions")) upon which the right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date"), and (ii) any Delisting Date (as defined herein) by delivering or causing to be delivered to the Warrant Agent (at its address as set forth in the Exercise Notice (as defined below) or at such other address as the Warrant Agent may specify from time to time) the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrant, with the Exercise Notice duly completed and executed by the Registered Holder of such Warrant or (B) in the case of Warrants represented by a Global Warrant Certificate ("Book-Entry Warrants"), on any New York Business Day until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred free to the Warrant Agent on the records of the Depository in accordance with the Depository's Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian procedures and (y) a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice to be received by the Warrant Agent from a Participant acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Warrantholder; provided, however, that Exercise Notices are subject to rejection by the Warrant Agent as provided herein. In the case of Book-Entry Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream") or the Euroclear System ("Euroclear"), a Warrantholder may exercise each Warrant on any New York Business Day until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, by causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred to the Warrant Agent in accordance with clause ) of the preceding paragraph, giving appropriate instructions to Clearstream or the participant holding his Warrants in Euroclear, as the case may be, and (y) a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice to be delivered on behalf of the Warrantholder by Clearstream, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream, or such participant, in the case of Warrants held through Euroclear, to the Warrant Agent 8 (b) No fewer than the minimum number of Warrants as set forth in each Warrant Certificate may be exercised by or on behalf of any one Warrantholder at any one time, except that no such minimum exercise amount shall apply in the case of automatic exercise on the Expiration Date or a Delisting Date, or in the case of cancellation of the Warrants as a result of an Extraordinary Event (as defined herein). With the exception of the Limit Option, an Exercise Notice shall be unconditional. Except as provided in Section 2.02(c), the Warrant Agent shall be entitled, with no duty of inquiry, to rely conclusively on any Exercise Notice received by it and on any representation of the exercising Warrantholder contained therein. (c) "Exercise Notice" means an irrevocable notice of exercise to the Warrant Agent at its address, which notice (A) for Certificated Warrants, shall be on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate or such other form as the Company and the Warrant Agent may approve, and (B) for Book-Entry Warrants, shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 hereto or such other form as the Company and the Warrant Agent may approve and may be given by facsimile transmission. For purposes of this Agreement, "New York Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which either the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is not open for securities trading or commercial banks in New York City are required or authorized by law or executive order to remain closed. SECTION 2.02. Exercise, Valuation and Delivery of Warrants. (a) Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise, Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, or Warrants subject to the Limit Option, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business Day, then the next New York Business Day succeeding the New York Business Day on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is received. In the case of Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise and except for Warrants subject to the Limit Option, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives (by facsimile transmission) the Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant if such Exercise Notice is received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, provided, that the Warrant being exercised is received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Exercise Notice is received, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business Day, then the New 9 York Business Day succeeding such New York Business Day, provided that such day will be the Exercise Date only if the Warrant being exercised is received by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second succeeding New York Business Day following the New York Business Day on which the Exercise Notice is received. In the event that the Warrant being exercised is received after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Exercise Notice is received, then the Exercise Date for such Warrant will be the day on which such Warrant is received or, if such day is not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the exercise of a Book-Entry Warrant by Clearstream or a Euroclear participant, Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, must by facsimile transmission to the Warrant Agent by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date confirm (an "Account Confirmation") that the Warrants being exercised will be received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, provided, further, that if such Account Confirmation is received after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date, the Company will be entitled to direct the Warrant Agent to reject the related Exercise Notice or waive the requirement for timely delivery of such Account Confirmation. (b) The "Valuation Date" for a Warrant shall be the first Index Calculation Date (as defined herein) following the applicable Exercise Date (subject to postponement upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event (as herein defined) or as a result of the exercise of a number of Warrants exceeding the limits on exercise set forth herein). For purposes of this Agreement, "Index Calculation Date" means any day the Index (as herein defined) or any Successor Index (as herein defined) is calculated and published. All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) the last New York Business Day prior to the effective date on which the Warrants are delisted from, or permanently suspended from trading (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder) on, the stock exchange on which the Warrants are listed and not accepted prior thereto or at the same time for listing on another United States national securities exchange (such New York Business Day being a "Delisting Date") or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has not been made by such date or the Valuation Date for which has as of such date been postponed as provided in Section 2.03, shall be deemed to be automatically 10 exercised as of such date; provided, however, that if the Company first receives notice of the delisting or suspension of the Warrants on the same day on which such Warrants are delisted or suspended, such day will be deemed a Delisting Date for purposes of this Agreement. (c) The Warrant Agent shall, in the case of Warrants other than Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of proper and timely delivery of a Warrant in accordance with Section 2.02(a), accompanied by a completed Exercise Notice, and, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear, following receipt of proper delivery of a completed Exercise Notice in accordance with Section 2.02(a): (i) promptly (1) for Certificated Warrants, determine whether such Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form duly executed by the Registered Holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, (2) for Book-Entry Warrants not held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine whether such Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form and (3) for Book-Entry Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine whether such Exercise Notice has been duly completed and is in proper form duly executed by Clearstream or the Euroclear participant delivering such Warrant, as applicable; and if the Warrant Agent determines that the Exercise Notice has not been duly completed or is not in proper form or, in the case of Certificated Warrants, has not been so executed, the Warrant Agent promptly (A) shall reject such Exercise Notice and shall send to the entity that executed such Exercise Notice a notice of rejection substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B or Exhibit B-1 hereto, as the case may be, and, in the case of Certificated Warrants, shall return to the Registered Holder that submitted such Exercise Notice, by first class mail, the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants, or, in the case of Book-Entry Warrants, shall re-deliver such Warrants (to the extent received in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) free through the facilities of DTC to the account from which they were transferred to the Warrant Agent and (B) shall not take the actions required by clauses i)-(viii) below with respect to such Exercise Notice or the related Warrants; provided, however, that the Warrant Agent shall deliver a copy of the Exercise Notice relating to such Warrants to the Company as required by Section 2.02(c)(viii) below and the Company may waive any defect in the form of such Exercise Notice; (ii) notify the Company and the Determination Agent (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the New York Business 11 Day that such Exercise Notice has been received (or shall be deemed to have been received) of (A) the total number of Warrants covered by such Exercise Notice, (B) the number of such Warrants subject to the Limit Option (as defined herein) ("Contingently Tendered Warrants") and (C) the number of such Warrants not subject to the Limit Option; (iii) with respect to Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear, determine whether the Warrant Agent has received by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date relating to such Warrants, Account Confirmations with respect to such Warrants, and if the Warrant Agent has not received any such Account Confirmation by such time, notify the Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date, of the number of such Warrants in respect of which the Warrant Agent has not received such Account Confirmations and (except to the extent the Company has notified the Warrant Agent that it has waived the timing requirement of timely delivery of such Account Confirmations) send to Clearstream or the Euroclear participant, as the case may be, that delivered such Exercise Notice for which no related Account Confirmation was received (at the address specified in such notice) a notice of rejection substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto; (iv) if any of the Warrants covered by such Exercise Notice constitute Contingently Tendered Warrants, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Valuation Date or if such date is not a New York Business Day, then the next succeeding New York Business Day, (A) except as provided in Section 2.02(h), determine the Limit Option Reference Index Value (as defined herein) for such Warrants and the Spot Value (as defined herein) for the Index Calculation Date that, but for the provisions of Section 2.02(i), would be the Valuation Date for such Warrants; (B) determine in accordance with Section 2.02(i) whether such Contingently Tendered Warrants will be subject to exercise after giving effect to the Limit Option and, if such Warrants will not be subject to exercise, send, in the case of Certificated Warrants, to the Registered Holder or, in the case of Book-Entry Warrants to the Participant or to Clearstream or to the Euroclear participant in the case of Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, respectively, that submitted such Exercise Notice a notice of rejection substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C- 1 or Exhibit C-2 hereto, as appropriate, with respect to such Warrants and return to the Registered Holder that submitted such Exercise Notice, by first class mail, the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants, or, in 12 the case of Book-Entry Warrants (to the extent received, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear), redeliver the Warrants free through the facilities of the Depository to the account of such Participant, Clearstream or Euroclear participant, as the case may be; and (C) notify the Company and the Determination Agent as to whether such Contingently Tendered Warrants will be subject to exercise; (v) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Valuation Date or if such Date is not a New York Business Day then the next succeeding New York Business Day, (A) determine the sum of (1) the number of such Warrants not subject to the Limit Option (i.e., the number of Warrants determined pursuant to clause i)(C) above) plus (2) the number of such Warrants that are Contingently Tendered Warrants that will be subject to exercise notwithstanding the Limit Option (i.e., the number of Warrants so identified pursuant to clause v)(B) above) (all of such Warrants, the "Exercised Warrants") and (B) notify the Company and the Determination Agent of the total number of Exercised Warrants so determined (if such number is zero, the Warrant Agent shall not take the actions required by clauses i) and (vii) of this Section 2.02(c) with respect to such Exercise Notice or the related Warrants); (vi) determine the applicable Spot Value and calculate the Cash Settlement Value of the Exercised Warrants (excluding any Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear as to which timely delivery of the related Warrant has not been made) as of their Valuation Date in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(e) by no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date (unless the Cash Settlement Value shall be calculated by the Determination Agent); (vii) notify the Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date of the Cash Settlement Value payable in respect of the Exercised Warrants, and send notices of confirmation substantially in the form included in Exhibit B or Exhibit B-1 hereto, as the case may be, to the Registered Holder, Participant, Clearstream or Euroclear participant, as the case may be; and (viii) promptly deliver a copy of each Exercise Notice to the Company and advise the Company of such other matters relating to the Exercised Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request. Any notice to be given to the Company by the Warrant Agent pursuant to this Section 13 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) or facsimile transmission. Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and for Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if on any Valuation Date the Cash Settlement Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then the attempted exercise of any such Warrants shall be void and of no effect and (i) for Certificated Warrants, the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants shall be promptly returned by the Warrant Agent to the Registered Holder by first class mail at the Company's expense or (ii) for Book-Entry Warrants, the Warrants will be transferred by the Warrant Agent back to the Participant that submitted them free on the records of DTC (to the extent received, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) and, in either case such Warrantholder shall be permitted to re-exercise such Warrants prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be. (d) Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and for Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if the Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely manner, which shall in no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York Business Day following a Valuation Date (or, if the Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date) (the "Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making its payment available (i) for Certificated Warrants, to each Registered Holder of an exercised Warrant in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such Registered Holder in the United States (at such Registered Holder's election as specified in the applicable Exercise Notice), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business on the first New York Business Day immediately succeeding such Funding Date or (ii) for Book-Entry Warrants, to each appropriate Participant in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such Participant in the United States (at the Participant's election as specified in the Exercise Notice), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the first New York Business Day immediately succeeding such Funding Date. For either clause (i) or (ii) above, such payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate Cash Settlement Value in respect of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Agent (together with the related Exercise Notice) as provided in Sections 2.01 and 2.02(a), (b) and (c). 14 (e) The "Cash Settlement Value" of an exercised Warrant shall be an amount in [name of payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash settlement value] provided, however, that if such amount is less than zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Index" means the [Reference Index] and the "Spot Value" for any date means the closing level on such date of the [Reference Index]. References in this Agreement to "U.S. dollars", "U.S.$" or "$" are to the lawful currency of the United States of America, [and references to [other currency] are to the lawful currency of [country of the principal trading market for the Underlying Securities]] [other provisions if the principal trading markets for the Underlying Securities are in more than one country] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. (f) In the case of exercise of Book-Entry Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall cause its records, which may be kept electronically, to be marked to reflect the reduction in the number of Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate by the number of Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Account and for which payment has been made as provided in Section 2.02(d) promptly after such delivery and payment. Absent manifest error, the Warrant Agent's records shall be conclusive evidence of such matters. (g) The Company hereby appoints [_____________________], and [_____________________] accepts such appointment, to be the Company's Determination Agent to make such calculations as may be required upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in Section 2.02(h) or 2.03, including, without limitation, calculation of the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as applicable, of a Warrant. The Determination Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of the Company, and, unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, its calculations and determinations under this Agreement shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent, the Warrantholders and any Participant. Any such calculations will be made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office. The Company agrees, for the benefit of the Warrantholders that there shall at all times be a Determination Agent hereunder until all the Warrants are no longer outstanding or until monies for the payment of all outstanding Warrants, if any, shall have been paid to the Warrant Agent and shall have been returned to the Company as provided in Section 2.06, whichever occurs earlier. Resignation, removal and appointment of the Determination Agent shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth for the resignation, removal and appointment of the 15 Warrant Agent, as provided in Section 5.03, except that a successor Determination Agent need not be a banking institution with offices in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and may only be appointed if such successor has been nominated by the Company and approved by the predecessor Determination Agent. The Company agrees promptly to pay the Determination Agent the compensation to be agreed upon with the Company for all services rendered by the Determination Agent hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Determination Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Determination Agent by reason of its being made a party to a suit or claim arising out of this Agreement; provided, however, that such indemnity shall in no event apply to the extent that any such loss, liability, cost or expense is a result of the negligence, bad faith or breach of this Agreement on its part in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder. The indemnity obligation of the Company shall continue notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Determination Agent. (h) In the event that the Index is not published by [name of Index publisher] (the "Index Publisher") but is published by another person not affiliated with the Company and acceptable to the Company (the "Third Party"), then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be determined based on the closing level of the Index as published by such Third Party. If the Index Publisher or any Third Party discontinues publication of the Index and publishes a successor or substitute index that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the Index (any such index being a "Successor Index"), then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be determined by the Determination Agent on behalf of the Company based on the closing level of the Successor Index on such date. If the Index Publisher or any Third Party makes a material change in the formula for, or the method of calculating, the Index or any Successor Index, the Determination Agent shall make such calculations as may be required to determine the applicable Cash Settlement Value using the formula and method of calculating the Index or any Successor Index as in effect prior to such change or modification. If the Index Publisher and/or any Third Party discontinues publication of the Index and/or Successor Index, the Determination Agent will determine the applicable Cash Settlement Value based on the formula and method used in calculating the Index or any Successor Index as in effect on the date the Index or such Successor Index was last published. If calculation or publication of the Index or a Successor Index is modified, discontinued or suspended, as provided in this Section 2.02(h), then the Determination Agent shall promptly notify the Warrant Agent, and the Warrant 16 Agent shall in turn promptly notify the Warrantholders in accordance with Section 6.04 hereof, of such modification, discontinuance or suspension and of any modification or adjustment to be made with respect to calculation of the Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as applicable. The Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors or omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the Index, any Successor Index, adjustments or calculations by the Determination Agent (as provided above) in order to arrive at a calculation of a stock index comparable to the Index or any Successor Index, or the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as applicable. (i) Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise (as described in Section 2.03 below) and except as described in Section 2.03 with respect to payments of any Alternative Settlement Amount, each Warrantholder, in connection with any exercise of Warrants (including an exercise with a postponed Valuation Date following an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event), will have the option (the "Limit Option") to specify in the related Exercise Notice that such exercise be subject to the condition that the Spot Value that would otherwise be used to determine the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants not be [minimum number of points] or more points [lower in the case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option Reference Index Value for such Warrants. "Limit Option Reference Index Value", with respect to any Contingently Tendered Warrants, means the closing level of the Index on the relevant Exercise Date (or, if such Exercise Date is not an Index Calculation Date, on the immediately preceding Index Calculation Date). If a Warrantholder elects the Limit Option in connection with any exercise of Warrants, the following provisions shall apply: (i) To be valid, such election must be specified in the related Exercise Notice. Each of the Warrant Agent and the Company shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such Exercise Notice, as received by the Warrant Agent, in determining whether such election has been validly made. In connection with any exercise of [double the minimum exercise amount] Warrants, a Warrantholder may elect to subject only a portion of such Warrants to the Limit Option; provided that the number of such Warrants subject to the Limit Option and the number of such Warrants not subject to the Limit Option shall in each case not be less than [minimum exercise amount]. Registered Holders and Participants shall be required to certify that the number of Warrants exercised on behalf of any Warrantholder pursuant to the related Exercise Notice that are subject to the Limit Option is an amount that is not less than [minimum exercise amount]. 17 (ii) Except as provided in Section 2.02(g), the Limit Option Reference Index Value shall be determined by the Warrant Agent, which determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes relating to such exercise. (iii) In the event that the Spot Value for the first Index Calculation Date following the relevant Exercise Date is [minimum number of points] or more points [lower in the case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option Reference Index Value for such Warrants, such Warrants (A) shall not be subject to exercise and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Warrant Certificates and Global Warrant Certificate as if the related Exercise Notice had never been received by the Warrant Agent, and (B) shall not constitute "Exercised Warrants" for purposes of Section 2.02(c). If such Spot Value is not [minimum number of points] or more points [lower in the case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants] [formula] than such Limit Option Reference Index Value, such Warrants shall be subject to exercise as provided in this Section 2.02 and shall be deemed to be "Exercised Warrants" for such purposes. The Warrant Agent's determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes relating to such Warrants. (iv) Except as provided in Section 2.03(b), the Limit Option (based on the Limit Option Reference Index Value as determined for the relevant Exercise Date or, if applicable, the first Index Calculation Date preceding such Exercise Date) shall continue to be applicable to any Exercised Warrant for which the Valuation Date has been postponed as a result of the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event until the Warrants are canceled as provided in Section 2.03(b) or until the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date. SECTION 2.03. Automatic Exercise of Warrants; Exercise Upon an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event. (a) All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received an Exercise Notice in proper form by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid Exercise Notice in proper form but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has not been made prior to such time, and which have not been canceled prior to such time, will be deemed automatically exercised without any requirement of an Exercise Notice to the Warrant Agent. The Exercise Date for such Warrants shall be the Expiration Date or Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a New York Business 18 Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day and the Valuation Date for such Warrants shall be the first Index Calculation Date following such date. The Warrant Agent shall by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, notify the Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) of the number of Warrants to be automatically exercised on such day. On the Valuation Date for such Warrants (or, if such Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the next succeeding New York Business Day), the Warrant Agent shall (i) except as provided in Section 2.02(h), determine the Cash Settlement Value (in the manner provided in Section 2.02(e)) of the Warrants to be automatically exercised; (ii) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next New York Business Day succeeding such Valuation Date, notify the Company (and such other parties (not to exceed two) as the Company shall designate in writing) of the Cash Settlement Value payable in respect of such exercised Warrants; and (iii) advise the Company of such other matters relating to the exercised Warrants as the Company shall reasonably request. In the case of Certificated Warrants subject to automatic exercise (other than Certificated Warrants subject to postponed exercise following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event as described in Section 2.03(b)), the Company shall make available to the Warrant Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York Business Day following the Valuation Date for automatically exercised Warrants (or if such Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding such Valuation Date) (in any such case, the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants. Subject to such funds having been made available as provided in the preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making its payment available to the appropriate Registered Holder in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such Registered Holder in the United States (at such Registered Holder's election upon written notice to the Company and the Warrant Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic Funding Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's Office from such Registered Holder of its Warrant Certificates. Such payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate Cash Settlement Value in respect of the Warrants, evidenced by such Warrant Certificates, that were exercised automatically on the Expiration Date or on any Delisting Date, as the case may be. Warrant Certificates delivered to the Warrant Agent shall thereafter be promptly canceled by the Warrant Agent. 19 In the case of Book-Entry Warrants subject to automatic exercise (other than Warrants subject to postponed exercise following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event as described in Section 2.03(b)), the Company shall make available to the Warrant Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Automatic Funding Date, funds in an amount equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants. Subject to such funds having been made available as provided in the preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making funds available to DTC, against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic Funding Date. Such funds are to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants subject to such automatic exercise. The Company will advise the Warrant Agent as soon as practicable of the date of any expected delisting or permanent suspension of trading of the Warrants and will immediately inform the Warrant Agent after the Company has received notice that such delisting or suspension has occurred, but in no event will notice of such delisting or suspension be given to the Warrant Agent later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day following the date that such delisting or suspension occurs. The Company will use its best efforts to notify the Warrantholders, or cause the Warrantholders to be notified, as promptly as practicable of any expected delisting or suspension of trading of the Warrants. (b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Home Country Business Day with respect to which the Spot Value on a Valuation Date is to be determined (the "Applicable Home Country Business Day"), then the Cash Settlement Value with respect to an exercise of Warrants shall be calculated on the basis that the Valuation Date shall be the next Index Calculation Day following an Applicable Home Country Business Day on which there is no Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event; provided, that if the Valuation Date has not occurred on or prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, then the Warrantholders shall receive the Alternative Settlement Amount (as defined herein) in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value which shall be calculated as if the Warrants had been canceled on the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be. The term "Home Country Business Day" means any day on which the principal trading market for the Underlying Securities is not open for securities trading [other provisions if the principal trading markets for the Underlying Securities are in more than one country] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. Upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event, the Company shall use its best efforts to notify the Warrant Agent and the 20 Determination Agent promptly that an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event, as the case may be, has occurred and shall promptly give notice to the Warrantholders, by publication in a United States newspaper with a national circulation (currently expected to be the Wall Street Journal), that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred. If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Expiration Date or on any Delisting Date, the Company shall so notify the Warrant Agent and the Determination Agent, and the Cash Settlement Value with respect to the exercised Warrants shall be equal to, and be calculated in the same manner as, an "Alternative Settlement Amount", in accordance with Sections 2.03(b) and (d) herein (treating the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, as the date on which the Warrants were canceled for the purposes of this Section 2.03(b)). If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event has occurred and is continuing, and if that Extraordinary Event is expected by the Company to continue, the Company may immediately cancel the Warrants by notifying the Warrant Agent of such cancellation (the date such notice is given being the "Cancellation Date"), and each Warrantholder's rights with respect to the Warrants and under this Agreement shall thereupon cease; provided, that each Warrant shall be exercised (even if such Warrant would not otherwise be exercisable on such date because of the Limit Option) on the basis that the Valuation Date for such Warrant shall be the Cancellation Date and each Warrantholder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant, the Alternative Settlement Amount, determined by the Determination Agent. (c) For purposes of this Agreement, "Extraordinary Event" means any of the following events: (i) a suspension or absence of trading on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] [other provisions if there is more than one principal trading market for the Underlying Securities] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] of all the Underlying Securities which then comprise the Index or a Successor Index; (ii) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or any other U.S. or non- U.S. governmental authority that would make it unlawful for the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Warrants or 21 that has or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the hedge of its position with respect to the Index; or (iii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crises (including, without limitation, natural calamities that in the opinion of the Company may materially and adversely affect the economy of [country of principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] or the trading of securities generally on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded]) that has or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the hedge of its position with respect to the Index. For the purpose of determining whether an Extraordinary Event has occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute an Extraordinary Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] and (2) an "absence of trading" on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not include any time when the [principal market in which Underlying Securities are traded] is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. (d) For purposes of this Agreement, "Exercise Limitation Event" means either of the following events: (i) a suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] of (a) [___]% or more of the Underlying Securities and/or (b) the securities of [percentage or number] of the most highly capitalized companies included in the Underlying Securities which then comprise the Index or a Successor Index; or (ii) the suspension or material limitation on [relevant futures exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities] or any other major futures or securities market of trading in futures or options contracts related to the [other relevant index], the Index or a Successor Index.] For the purposes of determining whether an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute an Exercise Limitation Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant market or exchange, [(2) a decision to 22 permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contract will not constitute an Exercise Limitation Event,] (3) a suspension in trading in an Underlying Security [or in a futures or options contract] referred to in clause[s] ) [and (ii)] above, by reason of (x) a price change violating limits set by the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] [or the relevant futures exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities] or such [futures or] securities market, (y) an imbalance of orders relating to an Underlying Security [or such contracts] or (z) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to an Underlying Security [or such contracts], will constitute a suspension or material limitation of trading, (4) an "absence of trading" in the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not include any time when the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances and (5) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event described in clause ) of the definition of Extraordinary Event will not constitute, and will supersede the occurrence of, an Exercise Limitation Event. The "Alternative Settlement Amount" is equal to the amount "X" calculated using the formula set forth below: X = I + (T/2 x A/B) where I = the Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants determined as described under Section 2.02(e), but calculated with a Spot Value determined by the Determination Agent which, subject to approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in the reasonable opinion of the Determination Agent, fairly reflects the value of the component securities of the Index (the "Underlying Securities") [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date, whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount; T = the initial offering price per Warrant; A = the total number of days from but excluding the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date, or Delisting Date, whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount for such Warrants, to and including the Expiration Date; and 23 B = the total number of days from, but excluding the date on which sales of the Warrants were initially confirmed, to and including the Expiration Date. For purposes of determining "I" in the above formula, in the event that the Determination Agent and the Company are required, but have not, after good faith consultation with each other and within five days following the first day on which such Alternative Settlement Amount may be calculated in accordance with the above formula, agreed upon a Spot Value which fairly reflects the value of the Underlying Securities [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date, whichever gives rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount, then the Determination Agent shall promptly nominate a third party, subject to approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to determine such figure and calculate the Alternative Settlement Amount in accordance with the above formula. Such party shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of the Company or the Determination Agent, and its calculation and determination of the Alternative Settlement Amount shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent, the Determination Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office. Neither the Company nor such third party shall have any responsibility for good faith errors or omissions in calculating the Alternative Settlement Amount. (e) With respect to all Warrants as to which the Valuation Date has been postponed or which have been canceled as described above, the Company shall make available to the Warrant Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third New York Business Day following the date on which the Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be, has been calculated (the "Alternative Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as applicable, of such Warrants. Subject to such funds having been made available as provided in the preceding sentence, the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making a payment in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(a), (i) in the case of Certificated Warrants, to each Registered Holder that submitted a Warrant Certificate for exercise (and in the case of cancellation as described above, to each Registered Holder) or (ii) in the case of Book-Entry Warrants, to the Depository, after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business on, the Alternative Funding Date, in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount (as applicable) of such exercised Warrants (and in the case of cancellation as described above, of all previously unexercised Warrants). 24 SECTION 2.04. Limitation of Number of Exercisable Warrants. All exercises of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise or upon cancellation) are subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than [individual limit] Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial owner, either individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any Exercise Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms hereof, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election (by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day immediately following such Exercise Date), [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date (selected by the Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata selection, any Registered Holders would be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant Agent shall first select additional amounts of such holders' Warrants so that no holder shall be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants), and the remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(b)); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such Remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds the [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] the provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set forth in this Section 2.04 are no longer exceeded; provided further that, any such Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants. If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than [individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next New York Business Day following such Day) [individual limit] of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the remainder of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01(b)); provided, that in the event that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [individual limit], at the Company's election (as notified in the manner described above), the 25 provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the exercise of such remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set forth in this Section 2.04 are no longer exceeded; provided further, that, any such remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants of such beneficial owner. The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised under the preceding sentences shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the "Exercise Date" in respect of such Warrants. SECTION 2.05. Covenant of the Company. The Company covenants, for the benefit of the Warrantholders, that it will not seek the delisting of the Warrants from, or suspension of their trading on, the [exchange on which the Warrants are listed] unless the Company has, at the same time, arranged for listing on another United States national securities exchange.

C- CUSIP _________ J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO. [Title of Warrants] This Warrant Certificate certifies that _____, or registered assigns, is the registered holder of ______________ [title of Warrants] (the "Warrants"). Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of this Warrant Certificate and the Exercise Notice on the reverse hereof (or an Exercise Notice in substantially identical form delivered herewith), duly completed and executed, at the offices of the Warrant Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, each Warrant evidenced hereby entitles the registered owner hereof (each a "Warrantholder") to receive, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement, from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., the Cash Settlement Value in [payment currency] (the "Cash Settlement Value") equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash settlement value]; provided, however, that if such amount is less than or equal to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero. In no event shall a Warrantholder be entitled to any interest on any Cash Settlement Value. The Warrants will not entitle the Warrantholders to any of the rights of the holder of any security underlying the Index (an "Underlying Security") [alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. A Warrant will not require or entitle the Warrantholder thereof to sell, deliver, purchase or take delivery of any Underlying Security to or from the Company [alternative provision for indices not based on securities], nor will the Company be under any obligation to, nor will it, purchase or take delivery of, or sell or deliver, any such security to or from Warrantholders. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant may be exercised, on any New York Business Day during the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date, established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions, upon which the right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date") and (ii) any Delisting Date (as defined herein). Any Warrant not exercised (including by reason of any postponed exercise as described on the reverse hereof or in the Warrant Agreement) at or before 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, will be automatically exercised. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Warrant Certificate set forth on the reverse hereof and such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth in this place. This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent. A-2 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. has caused this instrument to be duly executed. Dated: _________________________________ J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO. [SEAL] By:________________________________ Name: Title: Attest: By:_____________________________________ (Secretary) Countersigned as of the date above written: [_____________________], as Warrant Agent By:_____________________________________ Authorized Officer A-3 [REVERSE] J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO. The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant Agreement, dated as of ________________ (the "Warrant Agreement"), among the Company, [_____________________] (the "Warrant Agent") and [_____________________] (the "Determination Agent") and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions each Warrantholder consents by acceptance of this Warrant Certificate and which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Warrant Certificate. A copy of the Warrant Agreement is on file at the Warrant Agent's Office (as defined herein). The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and rank on a parity with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt. Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant may be exercised during the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date (as defined herein) by delivering or causing to be delivered this Warrant Certificate and attached Exercise Notice (or an Exercise Notice in substantially identical form), duly completed and executed, to the Warrant Agent's offices in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (the "Warrant Agent's Office"), which are, on the date hereof, located at [_____________________] or at such other address as the Warrant Agent may specify from time to time. Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to receive, upon exercise (including automatic exercise), the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant, except that, under the circumstances described below and in the Warrant Agreement, such Warrantholder may instead receive the Alternative Settlement Amount for such Warrant. The "Cash Settlement Value" of a Warrant shall be an amount in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash settlement value]; provided, however, that if such amount is less than or equal to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero. [The "Strike Level" is _____ which was determined by the Determination Agent and is [formula for strike level] [if applicable, the "Base A-4 Value" is ____ which was determined by the Determination Agent and is [formula for base value]]. The Company has appointed [_____________________] to be its Determination Agent to make such calculations as may be required upon the occurrence of certain circumstances, as described in the Warrant Agreement and herein. The Determination Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of the Company, and, unless otherwise provided by the Warrant Agreement, its calculations and determinations under the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Certificate shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's office. The Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors or omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the Index, any Successor Index, adjustments or calculations by the Determination Agent in order to arrive at a calculation of a stock index comparable to the Index or any Successor Index, or the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as applicable. In the event that the [Reference Index] is not published by the Index Publisher but is published by another person not affiliated with the Company and acceptable to the Company (the "Third Party"), then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be determined based on the closing level of the [Reference Index] as published by such Third Party. If the Index Publisher or any Third Party discontinues publication of the [Reference Index] and publishes a successor or substitute index that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the [Reference Index] (any such index being a "Successor Index"), then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be determined by the Determination Agent on behalf of the Company based on the closing level of the Successor Index on such date. If the Index Publisher or any Third Party makes a material change in the formula for, or the method of calculating, the [Reference Index] or any Successor Index, the Determination Agent shall make such calculations as may be required to determine the applicable Cash Settlement Value using the formula and method of calculating the Index or any Successor Index as in effect prior to such change or modification. If the Index Publisher and/or any Third Party discontinues publication of the [Reference Index] and/or any Successor Index, the Determination Agent will determine the applicable Cash Settlement Value based on the formula and method used in calculating the [Reference Index] or any Successor Index as in effect on the date the [Reference Index] or such Successor Index was last published. Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise, or Warrants subject to the Limit Option, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant will be (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and Exercise A-5 Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business Day, then the next New York Business Day succeeding the New York Business Day on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is received. All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise Notice at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has not been made, together with any Warrants the Valuation Date for which has at such time been postponed as described below, will be automatically exercised. The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The Warrant Agent will obtain the Spot Value (determined as of the first Index Calculation Day following such date, which will be the Valuation Date for such Warrants except in the case of a postponed exercise following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event) and will determine the Cash Settlement Value, if any, of such Warrants. Subject to the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Certificate, the "Valuation Date" for a Warrant will be the first Index Calculation Day following the applicable Exercise Date, subject to postponement upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event or as a result of the exercise of a number of Warrants exceeding the limits on exercise, all as described below. For purposes of this Certificate, "Index Calculation Date" means any day the Index or any Successor Index is calculated and published. All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting Date, as the case may be, together with any Warrants the Valuation Date for which has at such time been postponed as described below, will be automatically exercised. The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The Warrant Agent will obtain the Spot Value (determined as of the first Index Calculation Date following such date, which will be the Valuation Date for such Warrants except in the case of a postponed exercise following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event) and will determine the Cash Settlement Value, if any, of such Warrants. A-6 If the Exercise Notice is not rejected as provided in the Warrant Agreement, then the Warrant Agent or the Determination Agent, as the case may be, will determine the Cash Settlement Value of the exercised Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and for Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if on any Valuation Date the Cash Settlement Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then the attempted exercise of any such Warrants shall be void and of no effect and the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants will be returned to the registered holder of the Warrant by first class mail at the Company's expense and such holder shall be permitted to re- exercise such Warrants prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be. Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and for Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if the Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely manner, which shall in no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York Business Day following the Valuation Date (or, if the Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date) (the "Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making payment available to each Registered Holder of an exercised Warrant in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar bank account maintained by such registered holder in the United States (at the registered holder's election as specified in the Exercise Notice) after 3:00 p.m. New York City time but prior to the close of business on the first New York Business Day immediately succeeding such Funding Date against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's office of such Registered Holder's Warrant Certificates. With respect to automatically exercised Warrants, if the Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York Business Day following the Valuation Date for automatically exercised Warrants (or, if such Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding such Valuation Date) (in any such case, the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants, the Warrant Agent will thereafter be responsible for making payment available to each Registered Holder of the Warrants in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar bank A-7 account maintained by such holder in the United States (at such holder's election and upon proper notice being given to the Company and the Warrant Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business on the Automatic Funding Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's Office of such Registered Holder's Warrant Certificates. Such payment shall be in the amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificates. Anything in the Warrant Agreement or in this Warrant Certificate to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Home Country Business Day (as defined herein) with respect to which the Spot Value on a Valuation Date is to be determined (the "Applicable Home Country Business Day"), then the Cash Settlement Value in respect of an exercise shall be calculated on the basis that the Valuation Date shall be the next Index Calculation Day following an Applicable Home Country Business Day on which there is no Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event; provided that, if the Valuation Date has not occurred on or prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, Warrantholders will receive the Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value which shall be calculated as if the Warrants had been canceled on the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be. The term "Home Country Business Day" means any day other than a day on which the principal trading market for the Underlying Securities is not open for securities trading [other provisions if the principal trading markets for the Underlying Securities are in more than one country] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. Upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event, the Company shall use its best efforts to notify the Warrant Agent and the Determination Agent promptly that an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event, as the case may be, has occurred and shall promptly give notice to the Warrantholders by publication in a United States newspaper with a national circulation that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred. If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Expiration Date or on any Delisting Date, the Company shall so notify the Warrant Agent and the Determination Agent, and the Cash Settlement Value with respect to the exercised Warrants shall be equal to, and be calculated in the same manner as, an "Alternative Settlement Amount", in accordance with the Warrant Agreement (treating the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, as the date on which the Warrants were canceled. A-8 If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event has occurred and is continuing, and if the Extraordinary Event is expected by the Company to continue, the Company may immediately cancel the Warrants by notifying the Warrant Agent of such cancellation (the date such notice is given being the "Cancellation Date"), and each Warrantholder's rights under the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement shall thereupon cease; provided, that each Warrant shall be exercised (even if such Warrant would not otherwise be exercisable on such date because of the Limit Option) on the basis that the Valuation Date for such Warrant shall be the Cancellation Date and the holder of each such Warrant shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant an amount (the "Alternative Settlement Amount"), determined by the Determination Agent. With respect to all Warrant Certificates as to which the Valuation Date has been postponed or which have been canceled as described above, if the Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third New York Business Day following the date on which the Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be, has been calculated (the "Alternative Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent will thereafter be responsible for making payment available to each Registered Holder of the Warrants that submitted a Warrant Certificate (and in the case of cancellation to each Registered Holder) in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar bank account maintained by such holder in the United States (at such holder's election and upon proper notice being given to the Company and the Warrant Agent), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business on the Alternative Funding Date, against receipt by the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's Office of such Registered Holder's Warrant Certificates. Such payment shall be in the amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be, of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificates. The "Alternative Settlement Amount" shall be an amount, determined by the Determination Agent, which is equal to the amount "X" calculated using the formula set forth below: X = I + (T/2 x A/B) where I = the Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants determined as described above, but calculated with a Spot Value determined by the Determination Agent which, subject to approval by the Company A-9 (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in the reasonable opinion of the Determination Agent, fairly reflects the value of the Underlying Securities [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date, whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount; T = the initial offering price per Warrant; A = the total number of days from but excluding the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date, whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount for such Warrants, to and including the Expiration Date; and B = the total number of days from, but excluding the date on which sales of the Warrants were initially confirmed, to and including the Expiration Date. For purposes of determining "I" in the above formula, in the event that the Determination Agent and the Company are required, but have not, after good faith consultation with each other and within five days following the first day upon which such Alternative Settlement Amount may be calculated in accordance with the above formula, agreed upon a Spot Value which fairly reflects the value of the Underlying Securities [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date, whichever gives rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount then the Determination Agent shall promptly nominate a third party, subject to approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to determine such figure and calculate the Alternative Settlement Amount in accordance with the above formula. Such party shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of the Company or the Determination Agent, and its calculation and determination of the Alternative Settlement Amount shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent, the Determination Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office. Neither the Company nor such third party shall have any responsibility for good faith errors or omissions in calculating the Alternative Settlement Amount. "Extraordinary Event" means any of the following events: A-10 (i) a suspension or absence of trading on [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] [other provisions if there is more than one principal trading market for the Underlying Securities] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] of all of the Underlying Securities which then comprise the [Reference Index] or a Successor Index; (ii) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or any other U.S. or non- U.S. governmental authority that would make it unlawful for the Company to perform any of its obligations under the Warrant Agreement or the Warrants or that has or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the hedge of its position with respect to the [Reference Index]; or (iii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis (including, without limitation, natural calamities that in the opinion of the Company may materially and adversely affect the economy of [country of principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] or the trading of securities generally on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded]) that has or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the hedge of its position with respect to the [Reference Index]. For the purposes of determining whether an Extraordinary Event has occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute an Extraordinary Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] and (2) an "absence of trading" on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not include any time when the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. "Exercise Limitation Event" means either of the following events: (i) a suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] of (a) [___]% or more of the Underlying Securities and/or (b) the securities of [percentage or number] of the most highly capitalized companies included in the Underlying Securities which then comprise the [Reference Index] or a Successor Index; or A-11 [(ii) the suspension or material limitation on the [relevant futures exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities)] or any other major futures or securities market of trading in futures or options contracts related to the [other relevant index], the [Reference Index] or a Successor Index.] For the purposes of determining whether an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute an Exercise Limitation Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant market or exchange, [(2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contract will not constitute an Exercise Limitation Event,] (3) a suspension in trading in an Underlying Security [or in a futures or options contract] referred to in clause[s] ) [and (ii)] above, by reason of (x) a price change violating limits set by the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] [or the relevant futures exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities] or such [futures or] securities market, (y) an imbalance of orders relating to an Underlying Security [or such contracts] or (z) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to an Underlying Security [or such contracts], will constitute a suspension or material limitation of trading, (4) an "absence of trading" in the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not include any time when the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances and (5) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event described in clause ) of the definition of Extraordinary Event will not constitute, and will supersede the occurrence of, an Exercise Limitation Event. All exercises of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise or upon cancellation) are subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than [individual limit] Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial owner, either individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any Exercise Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms hereof, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election (by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day immediately following such Exercise Date), [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date (selected by the Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata selection, any Registered Holders of Warrants would be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant A-12 Agent shall first select an additional amount of such holders' Warrants so that no holder shall be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants), and the remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding the provisions of the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such Remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] the provisions of this paragraph all apply to the exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set forth in this paragraph d in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided further, that any such Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants. If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than [individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day following such New York Business Day), [individual limit] of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the remainder of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions in the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [individual limit], at the Company's election (as notified in the manner described above), the provisions of this paragraph all apply to the exercise of such remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set forth in this paragraph d in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided further, that any such remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants of such beneficial owner. The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised under the preceding sentences shall for all purposes of this Warrant Certificate be deemed to be the "Exercise Date" in respect of such Warrants. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner of the Warrants evidenced hereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced hereby, and neither the Company A-13 nor the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Warrant Agent will, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, from time to time register the transfer of this Warrant Certificate upon surrender hereof at the Warrant Agent's Office accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent duly executed by, the registered holder(s) hereof, a duly appointed legal representative or duly authorized attorney. Such signature must be guaranteed by a bank or trust company having a correspondent office in New York City or by a broker or dealer which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. A new Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee(s) upon any such registration of transfer, and this Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. In order to be exchanged for a Warrant in book-entry form, a Warrant Certificate must be delivered to DTC, in proper form for deposit, by a Participant. Accordingly, unless Warrants are purchased in book-entry form, a Warrantholder who is not a Participant must deliver his Warrant Certificate, in proper form for deposit, to a Participant, either directly or through an indirect participant (such as a bank, brokerage firm, dealer or trust company that clears through, or maintains a custodial relationship with, a Participant) or brokerage firm which maintains an account with a Participant, in order to have its Warrant Certificate exchanged for a Warrant in book-entry form. Warrant Certificates received by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for exchange will be exchanged for Warrants in book-entry form by the close of business on the New York Business Day that such Certificates are received by DTC (if received by DTC at its then applicable cut-off time for same day credit) or on the following New York Business Day (if received by DTC at its then applicable cut-off time for next day credit). Warrants surrendered at any time for exchange for book-entry Warrants may not be exercised or delivered for settlement or transfer until such exchange has been effected. The Company has been informed by Clearstream and Euroclear that such clearing agencies will clear Warrants in book-entry form and that Warrants may not be held in certificated form through their facilities. Once a Warrantholder has elected to exchange for a Warrant in book-entry form, such Warrantholder may hold his Warrants only in book-entry form and will not be able to change his election or withdraw from the book-entry system thereafter except as provided in the Warrant Agreement. Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise and with respect to payments of any Alternative Settlement Amount, each Warrantholder, in connection with any exercise of Warrants (including a postponed exercise A-14 following an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event), will have the option (the "Limit Option") to specify that such Warrants are not to be exercised if the Spot Value that would otherwise be used to determine the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants is [minimum number of points] or more points [lower in the case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the closing level of the [Reference Index] for the day specified below (such closing level, the "Limit Option Reference Index Value"). A Warrantholder's election of the Limit Option must be specified in the applicable Exercise Notice delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Limit Option Reference Index Value will be the closing level of the [Reference Index] on the relevant Exercise Date (or if such day is not an Index Calculation Day, on the immediately preceding Index Calculation Day). If an Exercise Notice and the related Warrants are received after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a given day, the applicable Limit Option Reference Index Value will be determined as of the next day that is also a New York Business Day (or, if such day is not an Index Calculation Day, as of the immediately preceding Index Calculation Day). Following receipt of an Exercise Notice and the related Warrants subject to the Limit Option, the Warrant Agent will obtain the applicable Limit Option Reference Index Value and will determine whether such Warrants will not be exercised because of the Limit Option. Warrants that are not exercised will be treated as not having been tendered for exercise and the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants will be returned to the registered holder by first class mail at the Company's expense. To exercise such Warrants, a Warrantholder will be required to cause an Exercise Notice and the related Warrants to be submitted again to the Warrant Agent. In the case of a postponed Valuation Date, the Limit Option will continue to apply once elected by a Warrantholder in connection with an exercise of Warrants on the basis of the Limit Option Reference Index Value as initially determined for such Warrants, except when such Valuation Date is postponed until the Expiration Date, any Delisting Date or the Cancellation Date. Such Warrants will either (i) be exercised on a delayed basis if the applicable Spot Value on the postponed Valuation Date is not [minimum number of points] or more points [less in the case of call warrants] [more in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option Reference Index Value or (ii) be excluded from being exercised if, on any applicable postponed Valuation Date, the applicable Spot Value is [minimum number of points] or more points [less in the case of call warrants] [more in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option Reference Index Value. In connection with any exercise of [double the minimum exercise amount] or more Warrants, a Warrantholder may elect to subject the exercise of only a portion of such Warrants to the Limit Option, provided that the number of Warrants subject to the Limit Option and the number of Warrants not subject to the Limit Option shall in each case not be less than [the minimum exercise amount]. A-15 As provided in the Warrant Agreement and subject to certain limitations, this Warrant Certificate may be exchanged for other Warrant Certificates, representing a like number of Warrants, upon surrender to the Warrant Agent at the Warrant Agent's Office of this Warrant Certificate. The Company will thereupon execute, and the Warrant Agent will countersign and deliver, one or more new Warrant Certificates representing such like number of Warrants. Upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate for exchange, the Warrant Agent shall cancel this Warrant Certificate. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Warrant Certificate, but the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than exchanges not involving any transfer. Capitalized terms included herein but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Warrant Agreement. For purposes of this Certificate, the "Index" means the [Reference Index] and the "Spot Value" for any date means the closing level on such date of the [Reference Index]. References herein to "U.S. dollar," "U.S.$" or "$" are to the lawful currency of the United States of America [and, references to [other currency] are to the lawful currency of [country of the principal trading market of the Underlying Securities]] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] [other provision if the principal trading markets of the Underlying Securities are in more than one country] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. As used herein, "New York Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which either the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is not open for securities trading or commercial banks in New York City are required or authorized by law or executive order to remain closed. As used herein, "Index Calculation Day" means any day on which the [Reference Index] or any Successor Index is calculated and published. The Warrant Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to amendment, as provided in the Warrant Agreement. This Warrant Certificate shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. A-16 Exercise Notice [Name and address of Warrant Agent] Attention: ___________________ 1. This Notice DOES/DOES NOT relate to "Contingently Tendered Warrants" subject to a Limit Option, as provided for in the Warrant Agreement. If this Exercise Notice relates to any Contingently Tendered Warrants, _____ of such Warrants are Contingently Tendered Warrants and _____ are not. If the Spot Value used to determine the Cash Settlement Value of Contingently Tendered Warrants is [lower in the case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Reference Index by [minimum number of points] points or more, an Exercise Notice with respect to such Contingently Tendered Warrants shall be void and of no effect (and shall be disregarded for all purposes of the Warrant Agreement). 2. Subject to paragraph the undersigned (the "Owner") hereby irrevocably exercises _____ Warrants (the "Exercised Warrants") and delivers to you herewith a Warrant Certificate or Certificates, registered in the Owner's name, representing a number of Warrants at least equal to the number of Exercised Warrants. Each beneficial owner of Warrants that is exercising Warrants pursuant to this Exercise Notice is exercising no fewer than [individual limit] Warrants and no beneficial owner is acting in concert with any other beneficial owner in relation to the exercise of the Exercised Warrants. 3. The Owner hereby directs the Warrant Agent (a) to pay the Cash Settlement Value, if any, with respect to the Exercised Warrants: By cashier's check or an official bank check: or By wire transfer to the following U.S. dollar bank account in the United States: (Minimum payments of $100,000 only) Bank:________________________________________________________ ABA Routing No.:_____________________________________________ A-17 Account No.: _______________ Reference: _____________________ and (b) if the number of Exercised Warrants is less than the number of Warrants represented by the enclosed Warrant Certificate, to deliver a Warrant Certificate representing the unexercised Warrants to Dated: ______________________________ _______________________________________ (Owner) By:____________________________________ Authorized Signature Address: Telephone: A-18 EXHIBIT A-1 FORM OF GLOBAL WARRANT CERTIFICATE No. CUSIP No. Unless this Global Warrant Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company (55 Water Street, New York, New York) to the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as requested by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company and any payment is made to Cede & Co., ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL since the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein. J.P. MORGAN CHASE & CO. Global Warrant Certificate Representing [Title of the Warrants] This Warrant Certificate certifies that CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, is the registered holder of the number of [title of the Warrants] (the "Warrants") set forth from time to time on Schedule hereto. Each Warrant entitles the beneficial owner thereof (each a "Warrantholder") to receive, subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement, from J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (the "Company") the Cash Settlement Value in [payment currency] (the "Cash Settlement Value") equal to [formula or method of calculation for cash settlement value]; provided, however, that if such amount is less than or equal to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero. In no event shall a Warrantholder be entitled to any interest on any Cash Settlement Value. The Warrants will not entitle the Warrantholders to any of the rights of the holder of any security underlying the Index (an "Underlying Security") [alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. A Warrant will not require or entitle the Warrantholder thereof to sell, deliver, purchase or take delivery of any Underlying Security to or from the Company [alternative provision for indices not based on securities], nor will the Company be under A-1-1 any obligation to, nor will it, purchase or take delivery of, or sell or deliver, any such security to or from Warrantholders. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant may be exercised, on any New York Business Day during the period from its date of issuance until 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the date, established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions, upon which the right to exercise the Warrants expires (the "Expiration Date") and (ii) any Delisting Date (as defined herein). Any Warrant not exercised (including by reason of any postponed exercise as described herein and in the Warrant Agreement) at or before 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date, will be automatically exercised. This Global Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by the Warrant Agent. The Warrants evidenced by this Global Warrant Certificate are part of a duly authorized issue of Warrants issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant Agreement, dated as of ________________ (the "Warrant Agreement"), among the Company, [_____________________] (the "Warrant Agent") and [_____________________] (the "Determination Agent") and is subject to the terms and provisions contained in the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms and provisions each Warrantholder, the entities through which such Warrantholders hold their beneficial interests in the Warrants and the Registered Holder of this Global Warrant Certificate consent by acceptance of this Global Warrant Certificate by the Depository and which Warrant Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Global Warrant Certificate. A copy of the Warrant Agreement is on file at the Warrant Agent's Office (as defined herein). The Warrants are unsecured contractual obligations of the Company and rank on a parity with the Company's other unsecured contractual obligations and with the Company's unsecured and unsubordinated debt. Subject to the provisions hereof and the Warrant Agreement, each Warrant represented by this Global Warrant Certificate (each a "Book-Entry Warrant") may be exercised until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date (as defined herein), by causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred free to the Warrant Agent on the records of the Depository in accordance with the Depository's Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian procedures and (y) a duly A-1-2 completed and executed Exercise Notice to be received by the Warrant Agent from a Participant acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Warrantholder; provided, however, that Exercise Notices are subject to rejection by the Warrant Agent as provided herein and in the Warrant Agreement. In the case of Book-Entry Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, a Warrantholder may exercise each Warrant on any New York Business Day until 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the earlier of (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date and (ii) any Delisting Date by causing (x) such Warrant to be transferred to the Warrant Agent (in accordance with the preceding paragraph), giving appropriate instructions either to Clearstream or to the participant holding his Warrants in Euroclear, as the case may be, and (y) a duly completed and executed Exercise Notice to be delivered on behalf of the Warrantholder by Clearstream, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream, or such participant, in the case of Warrants held through Euroclear, to the Warrant Agent. Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to receive, upon exercise (including automatic exercise), the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant, except that, under the circumstances described below and in the Warrant Agreement, such Warrantholder may instead receive the Alternative Settlement Amount for such Warrant. The "Cash Settlement Value" of a Warrant shall be an amount in [payment currency] equal to [formula or method of calculation for Cash Settlement Value]; provided, however, that if such amount is less than or equal to zero, then the Cash Settlement Value shall be zero. [The Strike Level is which was determined by the Determination Agent and is [formula for Strike Level] [if applicable, the Base Value is which was determined by the Determination Agent and is [formula for base value]]. The Company has appointed [_____________________] to be its Determination Agent, to make such calculations as may be required upon the occurrence of certain circumstances, as described in the Warrant Agreement and herein. The Determination Agent shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of the Company, and, unless otherwise provided by the Warrant Agreement, its calculations and determinations under the Warrant Agreement and this Global Warrant Certificate shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's office. The Determination Agent will have no responsibility for good faith errors or omissions in calculating or disseminating information regarding the Index, any Successor Index, adjustments or calculations by the Determination Agent in order A-1-3 to arrive at a calculation of a stock index comparable to the Index or any Successor Index, or the Cash Settlement Value or the Alternative Settlement Amount, as applicable. In the event that the [Reference Index] is not published by the Index Publisher but is published by another person not affiliated with the Company and acceptable to the Company (a "Third Party"), then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be determined based on the closing level of the [Reference Index] as published by such Third Party. If the Index Publisher or any Third Party discontinues publication of the [Reference Index] and publishes a successor or substitute index that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the [Reference Index] (any such index being a "Successor Index"), then the Spot Value for any date thereafter will be determined by the Determination Agent on behalf of the Company based on the closing level of the Successor Index on such date. If the Index Publisher or any Third Party makes a material change in the formula for, or the method of calculating, the [Reference Index] or any Successor Index, the Determination Agent shall make such calculations as may be required to determine the applicable Cash Settlement Value using the formula and method of calculating the Index or any Successor Index as in effect prior to such change or modification. If the Index Publisher and/or any Third Party discontinues publication of the [Reference Index] and/or any Successor Index, the Determination Agent will determine the applicable Cash Settlement Value based on the formula and method used in calculating the [Reference Index] or any Successor Index as in effect on the date the [Reference Index] or such Successor Index was last published. Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise or Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, or Warrants subject to the Limit Option, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives the Warrant and Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant, if received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Warrant or Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business Day, then the next New York Business Day succeeding the New York Business Day on which such Warrant or Exercise Notice is received. In the case of Warrants held through the facilities of Clearstream or Euroclear, except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise and except for Warrants subject to the Limit Option, the "Exercise Date" for a Warrant means (i) the New York Business Day on which the Warrant Agent receives (by facsimile transmission) the Exercise Notice in proper form with respect to such Warrant if such Exercise Notice is received at or prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such day, provided, that the Warrant being exercised is received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding A-1-4 the date on which the exercise notice is received, or (ii) if the Warrant Agent receives such Exercise Notice after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a New York Business Day, then the New York Business Day succeeding such New York Business Day, provided that such day will be the Exercise Date only if the Warrant being exercised is received by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second succeeding New York Business Day following the New York Business Day on which the Exercise Notice is received. In the event that the Warrant being exercised is received after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Exercise Notice is received, then the Exercise Date for such Warrant will be the day on which such Warrant is received or, if such day is not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the exercise of a Warrant by a Clearstream or Euroclear participant, Clearstream or Euroclear, as the case may be, must by facsimile transmission to the Warrant Agent by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date confirm (an "Account Confirmation") that the Warrants being exercised will be received by the Warrant Agent by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date, provided, further, that if such Account Confirmation is received after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day next succeeding the Exercise Date, the Company will be entitled to direct the Warrant Agent to reject the related Exercise Notice or waive the requirement for timely delivery of such Account Confirmation. Subject to the Warrant Agreement and this Global Warrant Certificate, the "Valuation Date" for a Warrant will be the first Index Calculation Date following the applicable Exercise Date, subject to postponement upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event or as a result of the exercise of a number of Warrants exceeding the limits on exercise, all as described below. For purposes of this Global Warrant Certificate, "Index Calculation Date" means any day the Index or any Successor Index is calculated and published. All Warrants for which the Warrant Agent has not received a valid Exercise Notice at or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the New York Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date or (ii) any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or for which the Warrant Agent has received a valid Exercise Notice but with respect to which timely delivery of the relevant Warrants has not been made together with any Warrants the Valuation Date for which has at such time been postponed as described below, will be automatically exercised. The Exercise Date for such Warrants will be the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, or, if such date is not a New York Business Day, the next succeeding New York Business Day. The Warrant Agent will obtain the Spot Value (determined as of the first Index Calculation Date following such date, which will be the Valuation Date for such Warrants except in the case of a A-1-5 postponed exercise following the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event) and will determine the Cash Settlement Value, if any, of such Warrants. If the Exercise Notice is not rejected as provided in the Warrant Agreement, then the Warrant Agent or the Determination Agent, as the case may be, will determine the Cash Settlement Value of the exercised Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and except for Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if on any Valuation Date the Cash Settlement Value for any Warrants then exercised would be zero, then in such case, the attempted exercise of such Warrants shall be void and of no effect and the Warrants will be transferred by the Warrant Agent back to the Participant that submitted them free on the records of the Depository (to the extent received, in the case of Warrants held through Clearstream or Euroclear) and, in either case such Warrantholder shall be permitted to re-exercise such Warrants prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be. Except in the case of Warrants subject to automatic exercise and except for Warrants that upon exercise entitle the holder thereof to receive an Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, if the Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent in a timely manner, which shall in no event be later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York Business Day following a Valuation Date (or, if the Valuation Date is not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding the Valuation Date) (the "Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent will be responsible for making payment available to each appropriate Participant in the form of a cashier's check or an official bank check, or (in the case of payments of at least $100,000) by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by such Participant in the United States (at the Participant's election as specified in the Exercise Notice), after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the first New York Business Day immediately succeeding such Funding Date. For either clause ) or (ii) above, such payment shall be in the amount of the aggregate Cash Settlement Value in respect of the Warrant Certificates or Warrants that were delivered to the Warrant Agent (together with the related Exercise Notice) as provided in the Warrant Agreement. With respect to automatically exercised Warrants, if the Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth New York Business Day following the Valuation Date for automatically exercised Warrants (or if such Valuation Day is A-1-6 not a New York Business Day, on the fourth New York Business Day following the New York Business Day next succeeding such Valuation Date) (in any such case the "Automatic Funding Date"), funds in an amount equal to, and for the payment of, the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants, the Warrant Agent will thereafter be responsible for making funds available to the Depository, against receipt of the Global Warrant Certificate, after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business, on the Automatic Funding Date. Such funds are to be in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants subject to such automatic exercise. Anything in this Global Warrant Certificate or in the Warrant Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Home Country Business Day (as defined herein) with respect to which the Spot Value on a Valuation Date is to be determined (the "Applicable Home Country Business Day"), then the Cash Settlement Value in respect of an exercise shall be calculated on the basis that the Valuation Date shall be the next Index Calculation Day following an Applicable Home Country Business Day on which there is no Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event; provided, that, if the Valuation Date has not occurred on or prior to the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, Warrantholders shall receive the Alternative Settlement Amount in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value, which shall be calculated as if the Warrants had been canceled on the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be. The term "Home Country Business Day" means any day other than a day on which the principal trading market for the Underlying Securities is not open for securities trading [other provisions if the principal trading markets for the Underlying Securities are in more than one country] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. Upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event, the Company shall use its best efforts to notify the Warrant Agent and the Determination Agent promptly that an Extraordinary Event or Exercise Limitation Event, as the case may be, has occurred and shall promptly give notice to the Warrantholders by publication in a United States newspaper with a national circulation that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred. If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred and is continuing on the Expiration Date or on any Delisting Date, the Company shall so notify the Warrant Agent and the Determination Agent, and the Cash Settlement Value with respect to the exercised Warrants shall be equal to, and be calculated in the same manner as, an "Alternative Settlement Amount", in accordance with the Warrant Agreement A-1-7 (treating the Expiration Date or any Delisting Date, as the case may be, as the date on which the Warrants were canceled). If the Company determines that an Extraordinary Event has occurred and is continuing, and if that Extraordinary Event is expected by the Company to continue, the Company may immediately cancel the Warrants by notifying the Warrant Agent of such cancellation (the date such notice is given being the "Cancellation Date"), and each Warrantholder's rights with respect to the Warrants and under the Warrant Agreement shall thereupon cease; provided, that each Warrant shall be exercised (even if such Warrant would not otherwise be exercisable on such date because of the Limit Option) on the basis that the Valuation Date for such Warrant shall be the Cancellation Date and each Warrantholder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrant an amount (the "Alternative Settlement Amount"), determined by the Determination Agent. With respect to all Warrants as to which the Valuation Date has been postponed or which have been canceled as described above, if the Company has made adequate funds available to the Warrant Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third New York Business Day following the date on which the Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be, has been calculated (the "Alternative Funding Date"), the Warrant Agent will thereafter be responsible for making a payment in the manner set forth in the Warrant Agreement to the Depository, after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, but prior to the close of business on, the Alternative Funding Date, in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount (as applicable) of such exercised Warrants (and in the case of cancellation as described above, of all previously unexercised Warrants). Such payment shall be in the amount equal to the aggregate Cash Settlement Value or Alternative Settlement Amount, as the case may be, of the Warrants. The "Alternative Settlement Amount" shall be an amount determined by the Determination Agent, which is equal to the amount "X" calculated using the formula set forth below: X = I + (T/2 x A/B) where I = the Cash Settlement Value of the Warrants determined as described above, but calculated with a Spot Value determined by the Determination Agent which, subject to approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), in the reasonable A-1-8 opinion of the Determination Agent, fairly reflects the value of the Underlying Securities [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date, whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount; T = the initial offering price per Warrant; A = the total number of days from but excluding the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date, or Delisting Date, whichever has given rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount for such Warrants, to and including the Expiration Date; and B = the total number of days from, but excluding the date on which sales of the Warrants were initially confirmed, to and including the Expiration Date. For purposes of determining "I" in the above formula, in the event that the Determination Agent and the Company are required, but have not, after good faith consultation with each other and within five days following the first day on which such Alternative Settlement Amount may be calculated in accordance with the above formula, agreed upon a Spot Value which fairly reflects the value of the Underlying Securities [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] on the Cancellation Date, Expiration Date or Delisting Date, whichever gives rise to the payment of the Alternative Settlement Amount then the Determination Agent shall promptly nominate a third party, subject to approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to determine such figure and calculate the Alternative Settlement Amount in accordance with the above formula. Such party shall act as an independent expert and not as an agent of the Company or the Determination Agent, and its calculation and determination of the Alternative Settlement Amount shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent, the Determination Agent and the Warrantholders. Any such calculations will be made available to a Warrantholder for inspection at the Warrant Agent's Office. Neither the Company nor such third party shall have any responsibility for good faith errors or omissions in calculating the Alternative Settlement Amount. "Extraordinary Event" means any of the following events: (i) a suspension or absence of trading on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] [other provisions if there is more than one principal trading market for the Underlying Securities] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities] of A-1-9 all the Underlying Securities which then comprise the [Reference Index] or a Successor Index; (ii) the enactment, publication, decree or other promulgation of any statute, regulation, rule or order of any court or any other U.S. or non- U.S. governmental authority that would make it unlawful for the Company to perform any of its obligations under the Warrant Agreement or the Warrants or that has or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the hedge of its position with respect to the [Reference Index]; or (iii) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis (including, without limitation, natural calamities that in the opinion of the Company may materially and adversely affect the economy of [country of principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] or the trading of securities generally on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded]) that has or will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Warrants or to modify the hedge of its position with respect to the [Reference Index]. For the purpose of determining whether an Extraordinary Event has occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute an Extraordinary Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] and (2) an "absence of trading" on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not include any time when the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. An "Exercise Limitation Event" means either of the following events: (i) a suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] of (a) [___]% or more of the Underlying Securities and/or (b) the securities of [percentage or number] of the most highly capitalized companies included in the Underlying Securities which then comprise the [Reference Index] or a Successor Index; or [(ii) the suspension or material limitation on the [relevant futures exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities] or any other major futures or securities market of trading in futures or A-1-10 options contracts related to the [other relevant index], the [Reference Index] or a Successor Index.] For the purposes of determining whether an Exercise Limitation Event has occurred: (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute an Exercise Limitation Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant market or exchange, [(2) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contract will not constitute an Exercise Limitation Event,] (3) a suspension in trading in an Underlying Security [or in a futures or options contract] referred to in clause[s] ) [and (ii)] above, by reason of (x) a price change violating limits set by the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] [or the relevant futures exchange(s) with respect to the Underlying Securities] or such [futures or] securities market, (y) an imbalance of orders relating to an Underlying Security [or such contracts] or (z) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to an Underlying Security [or such contracts], will constitute a suspension or material limitation of trading, (4) an "absence of trading" in the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] will not include any time when the [principal market in which the Underlying Securities are traded] is closed for trading under ordinary circumstances and (5) the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event described in clause ) of the definition of Extraordinary Event will not constitute, and will supersede the occurrence of, an Exercise Limitation Event. All exercises of Warrants (other than on automatic exercise or upon cancellation) are subject, at the Company's option, to the limitation that not more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants in total may be exercised on any Exercise Date and not more than [individual limit] Warrants may be exercised by or on behalf of any beneficial owner, either individually or in concert with any other beneficial owner, on any Exercise Date. If any New York Business Day would otherwise, under the terms hereof, be the Exercise Date in respect of more than [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] Warrants, then at the Company's election (by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the New York Business Day immediately following such Exercise Date), [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such Exercise Date (selected by the Warrant Agent on a pro rata basis, but if, as a result of such pro rata selection, any Registered Holders of Warrants would be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants, then the Warrant Agent shall first select an additional amount of such holders' Warrants so that no holder shall be deemed to have exercised less than [minimum exercise amount] Warrants), and the remainder of such Warrants (the "Remaining Warrants") shall A-1-11 be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding the provisions of the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such Remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [limit on aggregate number of Warrants to be exercised on any day] the provisions of this paragraph all apply to the exercise of such Remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set forth in this paragraph d in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided further, that any such Remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants. If any beneficial owner of Warrants attempts to exercise more than [individual limit] Warrants on any New York Business Day, then at the Company's election (as notified to the Warrant Agent by giving notice thereof to the Warrant Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next New York Business Day following such New York Business Day) [individual limit] of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on such New York Business Day and the remainder of such Warrants shall be deemed exercised on the following New York Business Day (notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions in the Warrant Agreement); provided that in the event that the aggregate number of such remaining Warrants, together with any additional Warrants of such beneficial owner with respect to which the Exercise Date would be such following New York Business Day, exceeds [individual limit], at the Company's election (as notified in the manner described above), the provisions of the paragraph all apply to the exercise of such remaining Warrants and such additional Warrants on such following New York Business Day and successively until the limitations set forth in this paragraph d in the Warrant Agreement are no longer exceeded; provided further, that any such remaining Warrants shall be deemed exercised before any such additional Warrants of such beneficial owner. The date on which any Warrant is deemed exercised under the preceding two sentences shall for all purposes of this Agreement be the "Exercise Date" in respect of such Warrants. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Warrant Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, may deem and treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute owner of the Warrants evidenced hereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for any purpose whatsoever, and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced hereby, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent, shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. A-1-12 The Warrant Agent will, in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, from time to time register the transfer of this Global Warrant Certificate in its records (which may be maintained electronically) subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe, only to the Depository, to another nominee of the Depository, to a successor Depository or to a nominee of a successor Depository, upon surrender of such Global Warrant Certificate, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent and the Company, duly executed by the registered holder thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof, or by its duly authorized attorney. Such signature must be guaranteed by a bank or trust company having a correspondent office in New York City or by a broker or dealer which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Global Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the transferee and the surrendered Global Warrant Certificate shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Except for Warrants subject to automatic exercise and with respect to payments of any Alternative Settlement Amount, each Warrantholder, in connection with any exercise of Warrants (including a postponed exercise following an Extraordinary Event or an Exercise Limitation Event), will have the option (the "Limit Option") to specify that such Warrants are not to be exercised if the Spot Value that would otherwise be used to determine the Cash Settlement Value of such Warrants is [minimum number of points] or more points [lower in the case of call warrants] [higher in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the closing level of the [Reference Index] for the day specified below (such closing level, the "Limit Option Reference Index Value"). A Warrantholder's election of the Limit Option must be specified in the applicable Exercise Notice delivered to the Warrant Agent. The Limit Option Reference Index Value will be the closing level of the [Reference Index] on the relevant Exercise Date (or if such day is not an Index Calculation Day, on the immediately preceding Index Calculation Day). If an Exercise Notice is received after 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on a given day, the applicable Limit Option Reference Index Value will be determined as of the next day that is also a New York Business Day (or, if such day is not an Index Calculation Day, as of the immediately preceding Index Calculation Day). Following receipt of an Exercise Notice subject to the Limit Option, the Warrant Agent will obtain the applicable Limit Option Reference Index Value and will determine whether such Warrants exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice will not be exercised because of the Limit Option. Warrants that are not exercised will be treated as not having been tendered for exercise. To exercise such Warrants, a Warrantholder will be required to cause an Exercise Notice to be A-1-13 submitted again to the Warrant Agent. In the case of a postponed Valuation Date, the Limit Option will continue to apply once elected by a Warrantholder in connection with an exercise of Warrants on the basis of the Limit Option Reference Index Value as initially determined for such Warrants, except when such Valuation Date is postponed until the Expiration Date, any Delisting Date or the Cancellation Date. Such Warrants will either (i) be exercised on a delayed basis if the applicable Spot Value on the postponed Valuation Date is not [minimum number of points] or more points [less in the case of call warrants] [more in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option Reference Index Value of (ii) be excluded from being exercised if, on any applicable postponed Valuation Date, the applicable Spot Value is [minimum number of points] or more points [less in the case of call warrants] [more in the case of put warrants] [formula] than the Limit Option Reference Index Value. In connection with any exercise of [double the minimum exercise amount] or more Warrants, a Warrantholder may elect to subject the exercise of only a portion of such Warrants to the Limit Option, provided that the number of Warrants subject to the Limit Option and the number of Warrants not subject to the Limit Option shall in each case not be less than [the minimum exercise amount]. Capitalized terms included herein but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Warrant Agreement. For purposes of this Certificate, the "Index" means the [Reference Index] and the "Spot Value" for any date means the closing level on such date of the [Reference Index]. References herein to "U.S. dollar," "U.S.$" or "$" are to the lawful currency of the United States of America [and, references to [other currency] are to the lawful currency of [country of the principal trading market of the Underlying Securities]] [other provision if the principal trading markets of the Underlying Securities are in more than one country] [alternative provision for indices not based on securities]. As used herein, "New York Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or a Sunday or a day on which either the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is not open for securities trading or commercial banks in New York City are required or authorized by law or executive order to remain closed. As used herein, "Index Calculation Day" means any day on which the [Reference Index] or any Successor Index is calculated and published. The Warrant Agreement and the terms of the Warrants are subject to amendment, as provided in the Warrant Agreement.
