(as successor trustee to The Bank of New York, which was successor trustee to Bank of Montreal Trust Company), as trustee (the “Securities Trustee”); together with warrant certificates (the “Warrant Certificates”) evidencing one or more warrants (the “Warrants”) representing the right to purchase [title of debt securities purchasable through exercise of Warrants] (the “Warrant Securities”), which Warrant Securities are to be issued under the Indenture and shall have the same terms and interest rate as the Offered Securities.

WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company in connection with the issuance, exchange, exercise and replacement of the Warrant Certificates, and in this Agreement wishes to set forth, among other things, the form and provisions of the Warrant Certificates and the terms and conditions on which they may be issued, exchanged, exercised and replaced.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS AND EXECUTION
AND DELIVERY OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

SECTION 1.01. Issuance of Warrants. Warrants shall be initially issued in connection with the issuance of the Offered Securities, and shall be separately transferable on and after , 20 (the “Detachable Date”). Each Warrant Certificate shall evidence one or more Warrants. Each Warrant evidenced thereby shall represent the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and therein, to purchase a Warrant Security in the

* Complete or modify the provisions of this Form as appropriate to reflect the terms of the Warrants, Warrant Securities and Offered Securities. Monetary amounts may be in U.S. dollars, foreign currency or other composite currencies based on the aggregate value of currencies of any group of countries.

1 principal amount of . Warrant Certificates shall be initially issued in units with the Offered Securities and each Warrant Certificate included in such a unit shall evidence Warrants for each principal amount of Offered Securities included in such unit.

SECTION 1.02. Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, whenever issued, shall be in registered form substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, shall be dated , 20 and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the officers of the Company executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrants may be listed, or to conform to usage. The Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by the Chairman, the President and Chief Executive Officer or a Vice President under its corporate seal and attested by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Such signatures may be manual signatures of such authorized officers or facsimile signatures imprinted, or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.

No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent, such Warrant Certificates may be countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that the person who signed such Warrant Certificates ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by such person as, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper officer of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such officer.

The term “holder” or “holder of a Warrant Certificate” as used herein shall mean any person in whose name any Warrant Certificate shall, at the time, be registered upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose or upon the register of the Offered Securities prior to the Detachable Date. Prior to the Detachable Date, the Company will, or will cause the registrar of the Offered Securities to, make available at all times to the Warrant Agent such information as to holders of the Offered Securities with Warrants as may be necessary to keep the Warrant Agent’s records up to date.

SECTION 1.03. Issuance of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates evidencing the right to purchase an aggregate principal amount of Warrant Securities not exceeding (except as provided in Sections 2.03(c), 3.02 and 4.01) may be

2 executed by the Company and delivered to the Warrant Agent upon the execution of this Warrant Agreement or from time to time thereafter. The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of such Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign such Warrant Certificates and shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to or upon the order of the Company. Subsequent to such original issuance of the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall countersign a Warrant Certificate only if the Warrant Certificate is issued in exchange or substitution for one or more previously countersigned Warrant Certificates or in connection with their transfer, or as provided in Sections 2.03(c), 3.02 or 4.01.

ARTICLE II

Each Warrant not exercised at or before 5 P.M. Chicago time on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights of the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants under this Agreement shall cease.

SECTION 2.03. Exercise of Warrants. (a) During the period specified in Section 2.02 any whole number of Warrants may be exercised by providing certain information as set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate and by paying in full, [in lawful money of the United States of America] [applicable currency or units,] [in cash or by certified check or official bank check or by bank wire transfer, in each case] [by bank wire transfer] in immediately available funds, the Warrant Price for each Warrant exercised, to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office [or at ], provided that such exercise is subject to receipt by the Warrant Agent within five business days of such payment of the Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase Warrant Securities set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed. The date on which payment in full of the Warrant Price is received by the Warrant Agent shall, subject to receipt of the Warrant Certificate as aforesaid, be deemed to be the date on which the Warrant is exercised. The Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the Warrant Price in an account of the Company maintained with it [if non-U.S. dollar denominated funds — or in or by immediate transfer for credit to such other account designated by the Company] and shall advise the Company by telephone at the end of each day on which a payment for the exercise of Warrants is received of the amount so deposited [or immediately transferred for credit] to such account. The Warrant Agent shall promptly confirm such telephone advice to the Company in writing.

(b) The Warrant Agent shall, from time to time, as promptly as practicable, advise the Company and the Securities Trustee of (i) the number of Warrants exercised, (ii) the instructions of each holder of the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants with respect to delivery of the Warrant Securities to which such holder is entitled upon such exercise, (iii) delivery of Warrant Certificates evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise and (iv) such other information as the Company or the Securities Trustee shall reasonably require.

(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant (and subject to receipt by the Warrant Agent pursuant to Section 2.03, within five business days of payment, of the Warrant Certificate with the form of election to purchase Warrant Securities set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed), the Company shall issue and deliver, pursuant to the Indenture, in authorized denominations to or upon the order of the holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant, the Warrant Securities to which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such holder. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate are exercised, the Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of such Warrants remaining unexercised.

(d) The Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved in the issue of the Warrant Securities, and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any Warrant Security until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has been established to the Company’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.

ARTICLE III

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS
OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

SECTION 3.01. No Rights as Warrant Securityholder Conferred by Warrants or Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate or Warrant evidenced thereby shall entitle the holder thereof to any of the rights of a holder of Warrant Securities, including, without limitation, the right to receive the payment of principal of, premium, if any or interest on Warrant Securities or to enforce any of the covenants in the Indenture.

SECTION 3.02. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company and it and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of the mutilated Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent for cancellation, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or

4 mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and evidencing a like number of Warrants. Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection therewith. Every substitute Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall represent an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates.

SECTION 3.03. Holder of Warrant Certificate May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any holder of a Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant Agent, the Securities Trustee, the holder of any Warrant Securities or the holder of any other Warrant Certificate, may, in its own behalf and for its own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right to exercise the Warrants evidenced by its Warrant Certificate in the manner provided in its Warrant Certificate and in this Agreement.

SECTION 3.04. Merger, Consolidation, Conveyance or Transfer. If at any time there shall be a merger, consolidation, conveyance or transfer permitted under the Indenture, then in any such event the successor corporation (if not the Company) or assuming corporation referred to therein shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect, subject to such Indenture, as if it had been named herein and in the Warrants as the Company; the Company shall thereupon be relieved of any further obligation hereunder or under the Warrants. Such successor or assuming corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Warrants issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company, and may execute and deliver Warrant Securities upon exercise of the Warrants. All the Warrants so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such Warrants had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Warrants thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

The Warrant Agent may receive a written opinion of legal counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer complies with the provisions of this Section 3.04 and the Indenture.

ARTICLE IV

EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

5

SECTION 4.01. Exchange and Transfer of Warrant Certificates. Prior to the Detachable Date a Warrant Certificate may be exchanged or transferred only together with the Offered Security to which the Warrant Certificate was initially attached, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in conjunction with, an exchange or transfer of such Offered Security. Prior to any Detachable Date each transfer of the Offered Security on the register of the Offered Securities shall operate also to transfer the related Warrant Certificates. After the Detachable Date, upon surrender at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent [or ], Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants may be exchanged for Warrant Certificates in other denominations evidencing such Warrants or transfer thereof may be registered in whole or in part; provided, however, that such other Warrant Certificates evidence the same aggregate number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificates so surrendered. The Warrant Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office [and at ], books in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrant Certificates, upon surrender of such Warrant Certificates to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office [or ] for exchange or registration of transfer, properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of registration of transfer and written instructions for transfer, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. Whenever any Warrant Certificates are so surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver to the person or persons entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates duly authorized and executed by the Company, as so requested. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect an exchange or registration of transfer which will result in the issuance of a Warrant Certificate evidencing a fraction of a Warrant or a number of full Warrants and a fraction of a Warrant. All Warrant Certificates issued upon any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificate surrendered for such exchange or registration of transfer.

SECTION 4.02. Treatment of Holders of Warrant Certificates. The Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.

SECTION 4.03. Cancellation of Warrant Certificates. Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer or exercise of the Warrants evidenced thereby shall, if surrendered to the Company, be delivered to the Warrant Agent and all Warrant Certificates surrendered or so delivered to the Warrant Agent shall be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent and shall not be reissued and, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder in exchange or in lieu thereof. The Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Company from tine to time or otherwise dispose of cancelled Warrant Certificates in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
