<THE SAMPLE COMPANY> SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS OFFERING
 
THIS SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS OFFERING EXPIRES AT <TIME>, <TIME ZONE>, ON <DATE>, UNLESS THE EXERCISE PERIOD IS EXTENDED (SUCH DATE AND TIME, AS IT MAY BE EXTENDED, THE “EXPIRATION DATE”).

The Sample Company has distributed to each holder of its common stock owned as of record (each an “Eligible Holder”) at <TIME> on <DATE> (the “Record Date”), at no charge, one non-transferable right, for each share of common stock held as of the Record Date, to purchase <NUMBER> of a share of common stock of The Sample Company at <$AMOUNT> per full share (the “Subscription Rights”). Each Subscription Right entitles an Eligible Holder who fully exercises its basic subscription privilege to subscribe, prior to the Expiration Date, for additional shares of common stock of The Sample Company at an exercise price of <$AMOUNT> per full share to the extent that any shares are not purchased by other Eligible Holders under their basic subscription privilege as of the Expiration Date or to the extent The Sample Company decides to increase the size of the offering (the “Oversubscription Privilege”). The terms and conditions of the Subscription Rights offering are set forth in The Sample Company’s Prospectus dated <DATE> (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “Prospectus”), which is incorporated into this Rights Certificate by reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Prospectus. The owner of this certificate is entitled to the number of basic Subscription Rights, and is entitled to exercise the basic Subscription Rights for the number of shares, shown on this Rights Certificate.

THE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE

The Subscription Rights are non-transferable. The Subscription Rights will not be listed on any securities exchange or quoted on any automated quotation system. The Sample Company cannot assure you that the shares of common stock of The Sample Company issued in respect of exercised Subscription Rights will ever be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other securities exchange or quotation system.

EXERCISE PRICE

The exercise price for the Subscription Rights and the Oversubscription Privilege is <$AMOUNT> per full share. A fractional Subscription Right will not be exercisable unless it is aggregated with other fractional Subscription Rights so that when exercised, in the aggregate, such fractional Subscription Rights result in the purchase of a whole share of common stock of The Sample Company. In other words, fractional Subscription Rights cannot be exercised for fractional shares of common stock of The Sample Company.

METHOD OF EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST PROPERLY COMPLETE AND SIGN THIS RIGHTS CERTIFICATE ON THE BACK AND RETURN IT IN THE ENVELOPE PROVIDED TO COMPUTERSHARE TRUST COMPANY, N.A., TOGETHER WITH PAYMENT IN FULL FOR AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE APPLICABLE EXERCISE PRICE MULTIPLIED BY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK THAT YOU ARE REQUESTING TO PURCHASE TO THE RIGHTS AGENT, COMPUTERSHARE TRUST COMPANY, N.A., BEFORE <TIME>, ON <DATE>.
