                        TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

         The U.S. $ 2,210,000 of 7% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2007, Series A
(the "Notes") of Harken Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") are constituted by, and authorized to be issued pursuant to these
Terms and Conditions and resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company
adopted by written consent effective July 29, 2002.

         Copies of a paying and conversion agency agreement dated as of July 26,
2002 (the "Agency Agreement"), made between the Company and The Bank of New
York, as paying and conversion agent (the "Paying Agent and "Conversion Agent,"
respectively, which expressions shall include any successors and assigns) are
available for inspection during normal business hours by the holders of the
Notes ("Noteholders") and the Couponholders at the specified office of the
Paying Agent. The Noteholders and the Couponholders are entitled to the benefit
of, are bound by, and are deemed to have notice of all the provisions of the
Agency Agreement.

         Certain terms not otherwise defined in the text hereof are defined in
Condition 19 herein.

1.       Form, Denominations, and Title, and Certain Administrative Provisions

         (A) The Notes if issued in definitive bearer form will be serially
numbered, in denominations of U.S. $5,000 or multiples thereof (the "Authorized
Denomination"), each with Coupons attached on issue, and with such numerical and
other identification designation as the Company shall deem desirable.

         (B) Title to the Notes and to the Coupons will pass by delivery. The
Company and the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent may (to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable laws) deem and treat the Holder of any Note and the
Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes (whether or
not the Note or Coupon shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary).

         Beneficial interests in the Notes will be represented by a global note
(the "Global Note"), without interest coupons, which will be deposited with a
common depository (the "Common Depository") and held on behalf of Morgan
Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as operator of the Euroclear System
("Euroclear"), and Clearstream, societe anonyme ("Clearstream"), for credit to
the accounts designated by the Noteholders at Euroclear and Clearstream. Except
as provided herein, certificates will not be issued in exchange for beneficial
interests in this Global Note.

         (C) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
President and Chief Operating Offer under a facsimile of its corporate seal
reproduced thereon and attested by its Vice President, Finance. The signature of
any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile signatures of the
present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Notes.

         Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold
such offices at the date of such Notes.

         At any time and from time to time hereafter, the Company may deliver
Notes executed by the Company to the Authenticating Agent for authentication,
together with a Company order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes,
and the Authenticating Agent in accordance with such Company order shall
authenticate and deliver such Notes. Such Company order shall specify the amount
of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes
is to be authenticated.

         The Global Note shall be dated as of the date of authentication

                                                                               4

<PAGE>

         No Note shall be entitled to any benefit hereunder or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form hereto is duly executed by the
Authenticating Agent by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such
certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is
entitled to the benefits of these Terms and Conditions.

         In case the Company, pursuant to Conditions 3(B) and 3(C), shall be
consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer,
lease or otherwise dispose of its Properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such
consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have
been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer,
lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have entered into an amendment
hereto, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time,
at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in
the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as
may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes
surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the
Authenticating Agent, upon Company order of the successor Person, shall
authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of
such exchange.

         (D) If the Common Depository referred to in Condition 1(F) notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Common Depository for this
Global Note, the Company shall use its best efforts to identify and appoint a
successor depository within 90 days of such notice. Pending the preparation of
definitive Notes, if required herein, the Company may execute, and upon Company
order the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced
and in the Authorized Denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

         If temporary Notes are required to be issued pursuant to these
Conditions, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared thereafter
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the
temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the
temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for such
purpose without charge to the Noteholder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any
one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal
amount of definitive Notes of the Authorized Denomination or multiples thereof.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under these Terms and Conditions as the definitive Notes.

         (E) Upon surrender for exchange of any Note at the office or agency of
the Company designated pursuant to these Conditions, the Company shall execute,
and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the Authorized
Denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

         Furthermore, any Holder of this Global Note, by acceptance of this
Global Note, agrees that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Note
may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of the
Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in this
Global Note shall be required to be reflected by way of book entry.

         All Notes issued upon any exchange of Notes shall be the valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits hereunder, as the Notes surrendered upon such exchange.

         Every Note presented or surrendered for exchange shall (if so required
by the Company) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Noteholder
thereof or such Noteholder's attorney duly authorized in writing.

                                                                               5

<PAGE>

         Except as otherwise provided herein, no service charge shall be made
for any exchange, conversion or redemption of Notes, 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 exchange of Notes.

         The Company shall not be required (i) to issue or exchange any Note
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
selection of Notes to be redeemed hereunder and ending at the close of business
on the day of such mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, (ii) to
exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (iii) to register the
transfer of or exchange of any Note during a period beginning five days before
the date of Maturity and ending on such date of Maturity.

         (F)  (1) This Global Note shall be delivered to the Common Depository.
Members of, or participants in, Euroclear and Clearstream ("Agent Members")
shall have no direct rights hereunder with respect to any Global Note held on
their behalf by the Common Depository, or under such Global Note. The Common
Depository may be treated by the Company, and any agent of the Company, as the
absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or any agent of the
Company from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Common Depository or shall impair, as between the
Common Depository and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of a Noteholder.

              (2) Transfers of the Global Note shall be limited to transfers
of the Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Common Depository, its
successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the
Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of
the Common Depository, Euroclear, Clearstream, and the provisions hereof.
Definitive Notes in bearer form shall be transferred to all beneficial holders
in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Note in accordance with
the Common Depository's procedures only if the Common Depository notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Common Depository for the
Global Note and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90
days of such notice, or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
the Company has received a request from any owner of a beneficial interest in
the Global Note for such a transfer or the Common Depository.

              (3) In connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in
this Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (2) of this
Condition, the Common Depository shall reflect on its books and records the date
and a decrease in the Principal Amount of this Global Note in an amount equal to
the principal amount of the beneficial interests in this Global Note to be
transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Notes in bearer from of like
tenor and amount.

              (4) In connection with the transfer of the beneficial interests in
the entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (2) of this
Condition, this Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Conversion
and Paying Agent for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner
identified by the Common Depository, in exchange for its beneficial interest in
this Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Notes in
bearer form.

              (5) Any definitive Note in bearer form delivered in exchange
for an interest in this Global Note pursuant to subsection (2) or subsection (3)
of this Condition shall bear the applicable legend regarding transfer
restrictions applicable to the bearer Note as counsel to the Company shall
advise the Company.

              (6) The Holder of this Global Note may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may
hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Noteholder is
entitled to take under these Terms and Conditions or the Notes.

              (7) Any definitive Note in bearer form delivered in exchange
for an interest in this Global Note pursuant to subsection (2) or (3) of this
Condition will prior to delivery to the Noteholder have all matured

                                                                               6

<PAGE>


Coupons as of such delivery date, which are attached to such bearer Note,
cancelled and voided by the Authenticating Agent.

             (8) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any
transfers (by book-entry or otherwise) of this Global Note otherwise than in
accordance with the Securities Act. Unless otherwise required by applicable law,
neither the Company nor the Common Depository shall recognize or give effect to
any attempt to transfer (by book entry or otherwise) or convert any Note or any
interest therein in violation of the Securities Act.

         (G) The Noteholders by acceptance of the Notes hereby covenant and
agree that neither the Notes nor the Conversion Shares will be offered, sold,
transferred, pledged, converted or otherwise disposed of unless the Notes and/
or the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or any
applicable state securities or blue sky laws or exemptions from the registration
requirements of such laws are available.

         (H) If (i) any mutilated Note or Coupon is surrendered to the
Authenticating Agent, or (ii) the Company and the Authentication Agent receive
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note or
Coupon, and there is delivered to the Company and the Authenticating Agent such
security and/or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Authenticating
Agent that such Note or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Company shall execute and upon Company order the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or Coupon or
in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note or Coupon, a new Note or
Coupon of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously Outstanding.

         In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note or Coupon
has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Note or Coupon, pay such Note or Coupon, as the
case may be.

         Upon the issuance of any new Note or Coupon 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 Authenticating Agent) connected
therewith.

         Every new Note or Coupon issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Note or Coupon shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Note or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all benefits hereunder equally and proportionately with any and all
other Notes or Coupons duly issued hereunder.

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

         Any new Note issued under this Condition 1(H) in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Note shall be issued by the Authenticating Agent with all matured
Coupons as of such date of issuance cancelled or voided.

2.       Status

         The Notes and any Coupons are direct, unconditional and unsecured
obligations of the Company and will rank pari passu, without any preference
among themselves. The Notes and any Coupons will rank senior to all Subordinated
Obligations of the Company, present and future, but, in the event of bankruptcy
or insolvency of the Company, only to the extent permitted by the applicable
laws relating to creditors' rights. The Notes will not be secured by any assets
or property of the Company. The Notes and any Coupons will rank pari passu with
all other present and future Indebtedness of the Company (including the
Company's 5.0% Senior Notes due 2003) other than Subordinated Obligations. The
Notes will rank senior to all existing and future Subordinated Obligations.

                                                                               7

         (A) The Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights
(charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the
Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer in
the best interests of the Company and the conduct of its business, and that the
loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Noteholders;
and provided, further, that nothing contained in this Condition 3(A) shall
prohibit any transaction permitted by Condition 3(B) or Condition 3(C) herein.

         (B) The Company will not merge or consolidate with or sell, convey,

either (i) the Company shall be the surviving Person or (ii) the Person (if
other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which the Company
is merged or the Person which acquired by conveyance or transfer, or which
leases, the Properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety
(1) shall be a Person organized and validly existing under the laws of the
United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and (2)
shall expressly assume, by a written instrument, the Company's obligation for
the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Notes
and the performance and observance of every Term and Condition contained herein
and in the Agency Agreement.

         (C) Upon any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company
with or into any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the
Properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety to any person,
the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is
merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to,
and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company
under the Terms and Conditions contained herein with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and in the event of any
such conveyance or transfer, the Company, except in the case of a lease, shall
be discharged of all obligations and covenants under the Notes and may be
dissolved and liquidated.

         (D) The Company will maintain in at least one European city an office
or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes

or upon the Company in respect of the Notes may be served. The corporate trust

England shall be such office or agency of the Company, unless the Company shall
designate and maintain some other offices or agencies for one or more of such
purposes pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Noteholders of any change in the location of any
such offices or agencies.

         The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies (in or outside of Europe) where the Notes may be presented
or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind
any such designation; provided, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency
in Europe for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Noteholders of any such designation or rescission and any change in the location
of any such other office or agency.

         (E) The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments
and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or upon the income,
profits or Property of the Company and (b) all lawful claims for labour,
materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the
Property of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

                                                                               8

         (F) The Company will not amend its Certificate of Incorporation or
Bylaws except as required by law, except in respect to such amendments that the
Board of Directors reasonably determines do not materially adversely affect the
rights of the Noteholder, or except to the extent that such amendment would not
have a material adverse effect on (a) the ability of the Company to perform its
obligations under the Notes or (b) the rights of the Noteholders, except that
neither (i) increases in the number of Shares and issuance thereof with related
securities, nor (ii) designations of Preferred Stock of the Company,
modifications of the terms of such designations and issuance thereof with
related securities, nor (iii) modification or expansion of the indemnity
provisions provided by the Company to its directors and officers, nor (iv)
change of the Company's registered agent shall be deemed an amendment hereunder.

         (G) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will provide to the
Paying Agent or to any Noteholder such statements, certificates or other
documentation concerning the organization or operations of the Company as may be
reasonably necessary to establish any exceptions or exemptions from United
States federal income tax withholding and reporting requirements.

         (H) The Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or
such other form as the Company may determine is appropriate), within ninety (90)
days following the Dated Date in respect of all Shares that may be issuable at
any time upon the conversion and/or redemption of the Notes. The Company shall
use its best efforts to cause the Commission to declare such registration
statement (and any necessary amendments thereto) effective. The Company shall
also use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration
statement, and to refile such a registration statement from time to time in the
event its effectiveness lapses, until all such Shares that either are issued or
that may be issued are Freely Tradable in the United States.

         While any Conversion Right remains exercisable, the Company will use
its best efforts to list and maintain a listing of all Shares issued upon
conversion or redemption of the Note on a Stock Exchange. In the event a Stock
Exchange requires stockholder approval in order to complete the listing of the
Shares to be so issued upon conversion or redemption of the Note, then the
Company will use its best efforts to obtain such stockholder approval at the
earliest possible stockholder meeting. In this event, the conversion or
redemption in Shares will occur only if and when stockholder approval has been
obtained. If the Company is unable to obtain or maintain such listing of Shares,
it will forthwith give not less than 30 calendar days notice to the Noteholder
of the listing, de-listing or quotation or lack of quotation of the Shares (as a
class) by any such Stock Exchange.

         (I) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it
will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on any of the
Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so becoming due until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided and will promptly notify the Paying Agent of its action or failure so
to act.

         Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the
Notes, it will, on or before 3:00 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day
immediately preceding each due date of the principal of or interest on any
Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal or interest.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement, the Paying Agent shall
agree with the Company, subject to the provisions of this Condition, that such
Paying Agent will:

                  (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal
of or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided; and

                  (2) notify the Company by facsimile transmission or by telex
if the Paying Agent has not, by the due date for the payment of any principal
and/or interest in respect of the Notes or Coupons received unconditionally the
full amount of such principal and interest due.

                                                                               9

<PAGE>


         Any money deposited with the Paying Agent, or then held by the Company,
in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become
due and payable shall be paid to the Company on the Company order, or (if then
held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Paying Agent, before
being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company
cause to be published once, in the Authorized Newspapers, notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

4.       Interest

         The Notes bear interest from (and including) August 2, 2002 (the "Dated
Date"), at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, payable semi-annually in
arrears on September 30 and March 31 in each year (each an "Interest Payment
Date"), the first such payment to be made on September 30, 2002, in respect of
the period from (and including) August 2, 2002 to (but excluding) September 30,
2002, and this interest payable will equal U.S. $175.00 per U.S. $5,000
principal amount of the Notes for each complete semi-annual interest period.

         Each Note will cease to bear interest (i) from its due date for
redemption unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption
Price, in which event interest shall continue to accrue as provided in herein,
or (ii) where the Conversion Right shall have been voluntarily exercised by the
Noteholder, from the Conversion Date, or (iii) in the case of a Mandatory
Conversion, from the Mandatory Conversion Date.

         Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of 12
months of 30 days each and, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of
days elapsed.

5.       Payments

         For so long as the Notes are represented by a Global Note, beneficial
interests in this Global Note will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be
effected only through, records maintained by, and in accordance with the rules
and procedures of, Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be.

         In case of certificated Notes, payments of principal in respect of each
Note and any net proceeds payable under Condition 6(D) will only be made,
against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment only,
endorsement) of the relevant Note at the specified office of the Paying Agent.
Payments of interest due on the Notes on an Interest Payment Date will be made
against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment only,
endorsement) of the relevant Coupons at the specified office of the Paying
Agent. All payments of principal and interest shall be made in U.S. dollars.
Each such payment and any payment of the net proceeds of the sale of Shares
pursuant to Condition 6(D) will be made at the specified office of any Paying
Agent, at the option of the Holder, by U.S. dollar cheque mailed to an address,
or delivered in accordance with the Holder's instructions, or by transfer to a
U.S. dollar account maintained by the Holder in accordance with the holder's
instructions, subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws and
regulations, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 9.

         If, at any time, in the opinion of the Company or of the Paying Agent,
payments in U.S. dollars cannot be so made, payments will be made in U.S.
dollars in such other manner as may be approved by the Company and the Paying
Agent and notice of the alternative manner of payment will be given to the
Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15.

         Each Note must be presented for redemption together with all unmatured
Coupons relating to such Note, failing which the full amount of any missing
unmatured Coupon (or, in the case of payment not being made in full, that
proportion of the full amount of the missing unmatured Coupons which the amount
so paid bears to the total

                                                                              10

<PAGE>

amount due) will be deducted from the amount due for payment. Each amount so
deducted will be paid in the manner mentioned above against presentation and
surrender (or, in the case of part payment only, endorsement) of such missing
Coupon at any time before the expiry of six (6) years after the Relevant Date in
respect of the relevant Note (whether or not such Coupon would otherwise have
become void pursuant to Condition 10), or, if later, five (5) years after the
date on which such Coupon would have become due, but not thereafter.

         All monies paid by the Company to the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal or interest on any Note which remain unclaimed at the end of two (2)
years after the principal on such Note will have become due and payable will be
repaid to the Company and the Holder of such Note or any Coupon appertaining
thereto will thereafter have only the rights of a creditor of the Company as
described in these Terms and Conditions or such rights as may be otherwise
provided by applicable law.

         A Holder shall be entitled to present a Note or Coupon for payment only
on a Presentation Date and shall not be entitled to any further interest or
other payment if a Presentation Date is after the due date.

         When making payments to Noteholders or Couponholders, fractions of one
cent will be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

         The name of the initial Paying Agent and Conversion Agent and its
initial specified office is set out at the end of these Terms and Conditions.
The Company reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment
of the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent and to appoint additional or other
Paying Agents or Conversion Agents. Notice of any termination or appointment and
of any changes in specified offices will be given to the Noteholders promptly by
the Company in accordance with Condition 15.

6.       Conversion

         (A) Optional Conversion by the Noteholders; Conversion Period and Price

             (i) Noteholders have the right, subject as provided herein and to
any applicable laws and regulations, to require the Company to convert all or
any of their Notes at their principal amount into Shares at any time during the
Conversion Period ("Conversion Right"). The Conversion Period begins after the
earlier to occur of (I) the close of the effective date of a Registration
Statement filed by the Company with the Commission with respect to the Shares or
(II) the date such Shares may be sold pursuant to the exemption from
registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 or other exemption
from registration under the Securities Act, and ends upon the earliest to occur
of (A) the second Business Day prior to the later of March 31, 2007, or the date
on which all principal and interest on the Note is repaid in full, (B) if such
Notes shall have been called for redemption pursuant to Condition 7, the close
of the second Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, or (C) the effective
date of a Mandatory Conversion. Upon conversion, the right of the converting
Noteholder to repayment of the principal amount of the Note to be converted
(and, subject as provided in Condition 6(B)(iv), accrued and unpaid interest
thereon) shall be extinguished and released, and in consideration and in
exchange therefor the Company shall allot and issue Shares credited as paid up
in full as provided in this Condition 6.

             The number of Shares to be issued on conversion of a Note will be
determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note to be converted, plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, by the Conversion Price, (as defined below)
in effect on the Conversion Date, with the result being rounded down to the
nearest whole number.

             (ii) A Conversion Right may only be exercised in respect of
the Authorized Denomination or multiples thereof of Notes. If more than one Note
is converted at any one time by the same Holder, the number of Shares to be
issued upon such conversion will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes to be converted. Fractions of Shares will not be
issued on conversion and no cash adjustments will be made in respect thereof.

                                                                              11

<PAGE>


                  (iii) Except for conversions pursuant to Condition 7(B)(iii),
the price at which Shares will be issued upon the exercise of a Conversion Right
(the "Conversion Price") initially will be U.S. $0.50. The Conversion Price will
be subject to adjustment in accordance with the manner provided in Condition
6(C). The Company shall give notice of any adjustment of the Conversion Price in
accordance with Condition 15 within ten (10) Business Days with effective date
of such adjustment.

                  (iv)  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (i) of this
Condition 6(A), if the Company shall default in making payment in full in
respect of any Note which shall have been called for redemption or shall fail to
issue Shares in respect of any Conversion or redemption, then, from the Relevant
Date, interest shall continue to accrue on such Note and the Conversion Right
attaching to such Note will continue to be exercisable (unless already exercised
by the Company pursuant to Condition 6(D)) up to, and including the close of
business (at the place where the Note is deposited in connection with the
exercise of the Conversion Right) on the date upon which the full amount of the
monies payable in respect of such Note has been duly received by the Paying
Agent or, or the date of the issuance of the Conversion Shares or redemption
Shares.

         (B)      Procedure for Conversion

                  (i)   To exercise the Conversion Right attaching to any Note,
the Holder thereof must complete, execute and deposit at his own expense during
normal business hours at the specified office of the Conversion Agent, a notice
of conversion (a "Conversion Notice") in the form for the time being currently
obtainable from the specified office such Conversion Agent, together with the
relevant Note and any amount to be paid by the Noteholder pursuant to this
Condition 6(B)(i). The form of Conversion Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit
A.

                        The Conversion Date must fall at a time when the
Conversion Right attaching to that Note is expressed in these Conditions to be
exercisable and will be deemed to be the date of the surrender of the Note and
delivery of such Conversion Notice and, if applicable, any payment to be made or
indemnity given under these Conditions in connection with the exercise of such
Conversion Right.

                        A Noteholder delivering a Note for conversion must pay
any taxes and capital, stamp, issue and registration duties arising on
conversion (other than any taxes or capital, or stamp duties payable in the U.S.
or required by any Stock Exchange, by the Company in respect of the allotment
and issue of Shares and listing of the Shares on conversion). A Conversion
Notice delivered shall be irrevocable.

                  (ii)  As soon as practicable, and in any event not later than
fourteen (14) calendar days after the Conversion Date, the Company will in the
case of Notes converted on exercise of the Conversion Right or a Note being
converted in accordance with Condition 6(D) and in respect of which a Conversion
Notice or has been delivered and the relevant Note, together with all
Outstanding Coupons, and amounts payable by the relevant Noteholder deposited as
permitted by sub-paragraph (i) above, cause the person or persons designated for
the purpose in the Conversion Notice to be registered as holder(s) of the
relevant number of Shares and will make a certificate or certificates for the
relevant Shares available for collection at the Company's principal office in
Houston, Texas or at the Company's transfer agent in New York, New York, or, if
so requested in the relevant Conversion Notice, will deliver such certificate or
certificates to the person and at the place specified in the Conversion Notice,
at the risk of the Noteholder, together with any other securities, property or
cash required to be delivered upon conversion and such assignments and other
documents (if any) as may be required by law to effect the transfer thereof.

                  (iii) The person or persons specified for that purpose will be
deemed for all purposes to be the Holder of record of the number of Shares
issuable upon conversion with effect from the Conversion Date or Mandatory
Conversion Date, as the case may be. The Shares issued upon conversion of the
Notes will in all respects rank pari passu with the issued and outstanding
Shares of Common Stock in issue on the relevant Conversion Date or Mandatory
Conversion Date, as the case may be, except for any right excluded by mandatory
provisions of

                                                                              12

<PAGE>

applicable law. A Holder of Shares issued on conversion of Notes shall not be
entitled to any rights for any record date which precedes the relevant
Conversion Date or Mandatory Conversion Date, as the case may be.

                  (iv)  If any notice requiring the redemption of any Notes is
given pursuant to Condition 7(B) on or after the fifteenth (15/th/) calendar day
prior to the record date in respect of any dividend payable in respect of the
Shares and such notice specifies a date for redemption falling on or prior to
the next following Interest Payment Date, interest shall (subject as hereinafter
provided) accrue on Notes which shall have been delivered for conversion on or
after such record date from the preceding Interest Payment Date; provided, that
the relevant Noteholder's entitlement to interest on any Note, in the event that
the Shares allotted on conversion thereof shall carry an entitlement to receive
such dividend, shall be limited to the amount by which the interest such
Noteholder would have received had no conversion taken place exceeds the amount
of the dividend received on such Shares. Any such interest shall be paid by the
Company not later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the relevant Conversion
Date by U.S. dollar cheque drawn on, or by transfer to U.S. dollar account
maintained by the payee with, a bank outside the United States in accordance
with instructions given by the relevant Noteholder.

         (C)      Adjustment of Conversion Price

                  (i)   Dividends or Distributions of Common Stock. In case the
Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock
exclusively in Common Stock or shall pay or make a dividend or other
distribution on any other class of capital stock of the Company which dividend
or distribution includes Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day next following the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction
of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the
denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of
shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such reduction to
become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day next
following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this
Condition 6(C)(i), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding
shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. For the avoidance
of doubt, this Condition does not apply to dividends or other distributions in
shares of the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the securities to which such
dividend or other distribution may be made.

                  (ii)  Dividends or Distributions of Rights, Warrants or
Options to Purchase Common Stock. In case the Company shall pay or make a
dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of, or
shall otherwise issue to all holders of its Common Stock, rights, warrants or
options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock at a price per share less than the Market Price per share
(determined as provided in paragraph (vii) of this Condition 6(C)) of the Common
Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights, warrants or options, the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination
shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares
of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of
shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at
such Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase, outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed
for such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business
on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of
this paragraph (ii), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. The
Company shall not issue any rights, warrants or options in respect of shares of
Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

                  (iii) Dividends or Distributions in Cash. In case the Company
shall, by dividend or otherwise, make a distribution to all holders of its
Common Stock exclusively in cash in an aggregate amount that, together with (1)
the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common
Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of
payment of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price

                                                                              13

<PAGE>

adjustment pursuant to this 6(C)(iii) has been made and (2) the aggregate of any
cash plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution
of the Company's Board of Directors), as of the expiration of the tender or
exchange offer referred to below, of consideration payable in respect of any
tender or exchange offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for all or any portion
of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment
of such distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment
pursuant to paragraph (vi) of this Condition 6(C) has been made, exceeds five
percent (5%) of the product of the Market Price per share (determined as
provided in Condition 6(C)(vi) below) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so
that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price
reduction contemplated by this paragraph (iii) by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the Market Price per share (determined as provided Section
Condition 6(C)(vi)) of the Common Stock on the date of such effectiveness less
the amount of cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and
the denominator shall be such Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such
reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for the payment of such distribution.

                  (iv) All Other Distributions or Dividends. Subject to the last
sentence of this paragraph (iv), in case the Company shall, by dividend or
otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its
indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock, securities, cash or Property
(excluding any rights, warrants or options referred to in Condition 6(C)(ii),
any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or
distribution referred to in Condition 6(C)(i), the Conversion Price shall be
reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the
Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this paragraph (iv) by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the Market Price per share (determined as provided
in paragraph (vi) of this Condition 6(C)) of the Common Stock on the date of
such effectiveness less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in
a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors and shall, in the case of
securities being distributed for which prior thereto there is an actual or when
issued trading market, be no less than the value determined by reference to the
average of the Market Price over the period specified in the succeeding
sentence), on the date of such effectiveness, of the portion of the evidences of
indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash and Property so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be
such Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such reduction to become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day next following
the date fixed for the payment of such distribution (such date to being referred
to as the "Reference Date"). If the Board of Directors determines the fair
market value of any distribution for purposes of this paragraph (iv) by
reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities
comprising such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such
market over the same period used in computing the Market Price per share
pursuant to paragraph (vi) of this Condition 6(C). For purposes of this
paragraph (iv), any dividend or distribution that includes shares of Common
Stock or rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the
evidences of indebtedness, cash, Property, shares of capital stock or securities
other than such shares of Common Stock or such rights, warrants or options
(making any Conversion Price reduction required by this paragraph (iv))
immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common
Stock or such rights, warrants or options (making any further Conversion Price
reduction required by Condition 6(C)(i) or (ii)), except (A) the Reference Date
of such dividend or distribution as defined in this Condition 6(C)(iv) shall be
substituted as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution," "the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or
options," and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of
Condition 6(C)(i) and Condition 6(C)(ii) and (2) any shares of Common Stock
included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at
the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the
meaning of Condition 6(C)(i)).

                  (v)  Subdivision of Common Stock. In case outstanding shares
of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day
following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be
proportionately

                                                                              14


<PAGE>

reduced, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each
be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion
Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon
which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased,
such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
subdivision or combination becomes effective.

                  (vi)  Tender or Exchange Offer for Common Stock. In case a
tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any
portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer shall
involve an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
and described in a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors) at the last
time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) that, together with (A) the
aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in
a resolution of the Company's Board of Directors), as of the expiration of the
other tender or exchange offer referred to below, of consideration payable in
respect of any other tender or exchange offer by the Company or a Subsidiary for
all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12 months
and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this
paragraph (vi) has been made and (B) the aggregate amount of any distributions
to all holders of the Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the preceding
12 months and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to
Condition 6(C)(v) has been made, exceeds five percent (5%) of the product of the
Market Price per share (determined as provided in Condition 6(C)(vii)) of the
Common Stock on the Expiration Time times the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, the
Conversion Price shall be reduced (but not increased) so that the same shall
equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be (1) the product of the Market Price per share (determined as provided
in Condition 6(C)(vii)) of the Common Stock at the Expiration Time times the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or
exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time minus (2) the fair market value
(determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders
based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender
or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn
as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such
maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and the denominator shall
be the product of (1) such Market Price per share at the Expiration Time times
(2) such number of outstanding shares at the Expiration Time less the number of
Purchased Shares, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.


                  (vii) Determination of Market Price. For the purpose of any
computation of the Market Price under this paragraph (vii) and Conditions
6(C)(ii), (iv) and (v), (A) if the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined) for any
event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that
requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii),
(iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above ("Other Event") occurs on or after the tenth
Stock Exchange Business Day prior to the date in question and prior to the "ex"
date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation (the "Current
Event"), the closing price for each Stock Exchange Business Day prior to the
"ex" date for such Other Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such closing
price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such Other Event, (B) if the "ex" date for any Other
Event occurs after the "ex" date for the Current Event and on or prior to the
date in question, the closing price for each Stock Exchange Business Day on and
after the "ex" date for such Other Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such
closing price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is
so required to be adjusted as a result of such Other Event, (C) if the "ex" date
for any Other Event occurs on the "ex" date for the Current Event, one of those
events shall be deemed for purposes of clauses (A) and (B) of this proviso to
have an "ex" date occurring prior to the "ex" date for the other event, and (C)
if the "ex" date for the Current Event is on or prior to the date in question,
after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (B) of this
proviso, the closing price for each Stock Exchange Business Day on or after such
"ex" date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the
fair market value on the date in question (as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value
for purposes of Condition 6(C)(iii) or Condition 6(C)(iv) or (C), whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the

                                                                              15

Company's Board of Directors) of the portion of the rights, warrants, options,
evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, securities, cash or Property
being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock. For the purpose of
any computation under Condition 6(C)(vi), the Market Price per share of Common
Stock on any date in question shall be deemed to be the Market Price on the date
selected by the Company commencing on or after the latest (the "Commencement
Date") of (A) the date 20 Stock Exchange Business Days before the date in
question, (B) the date of commencement of the tender or exchange offer requiring
such computation, and (C) the date of the last amendment, if any, of such tender
or exchange offer involving a change in the maximum number of shares for which
tenders are sought or a change in the consideration offered, and ending not
later than the date of the Expiration Time of such tender or exchange offer (or,
if such Expiration Time occurs before the close of trading on a Stock Exchange
Business Day, not later than the Stock Exchange Business Day immediately
preceding the date of such Expiration Time); provided, however, that if the "ex"
date for any Other Event (other than the tender or exchange offer requiring such
computation) occurs on or after the Commencement Date and on or prior to the
date of the Expiration Time for the tender or exchange offer requiring such
computation, the closing price for each Stock Exchange Business Day prior to the
"ex" date for such Other Event shall be adjusted by multiplying such closing
price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this paragraph, the
term "ex" date, (A) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution,
means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the
relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the closing price was
obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (B) when
used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock,
means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such
exchange, or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective, and (C) when used with respect to any tender or
exchange offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way
on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such tender or
exchange offer.

                  (viii)  Further Reductions for Federal Income Tax. The Company
may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required
by Conditions 6(C) (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi), as it considers to be
advisable in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a
dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.

                  (ix)    Adjustments to be Carried Forward. No adjustment in
the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least five percent (5%) in the Conversion Price;
provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (ix)
are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment.

                  (x)     Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price

                  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided
the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance with
Section Condition 6(C) and shall prepare a certificate signed by the chief
financial officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and
showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and
such certificate shall forthwith be delivered to the Paying Agent and the
Conversion Agent, and the Company shall cause notice thereof to be published in
accordance with Condition 15 at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of the
effective date of such adjustment.

         (D)      Mandatory Conversion

                  (i) Each Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that provided the
Shares into which the Notes would be converted are Freely Tradeable and listed
on a Stock Exchange, the Company may, at its own cost (save those expenses or
taxes referred to in Condition 6(D)(iii)), at any time following ninety days
from the Effective Date, elect to exercise the Conversion Right on behalf of
each and every Noteholder in respect of all of the Notes Outstanding at the
Conversion Price applicable as of the date fixed by the Company for such
conversion (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), provided that the average of the
Market Price of the Shares over the Stock Exchange Business Days in any thirty
(30) consecutive calendar day period following the Effective Date, is equal to
or greater than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Conversion Price.
The Company will give notice in the manner

                                                                              16

<PAGE>

set out in Condition 15 that the criteria for Mandatory Conversion under this
Condition 6(D) has been met within 30 days of having met such criteria. The form
of Company Conversion Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

                  (ii)  At least 45 calendar days prior to the Mandatory
Conversion Date, the Company shall cause written notice of the Mandatory
Conversion Date to be given to the Paying and Conversion Agent. Not less than 30
and not more than 60 calendar days prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, the
Company shall cause written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Date to be given
to the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent and the Noteholders (in accordance
with Condition 15). Following such notice, each of the Noteholders will be
required on or before the Mandatory Conversion Date to deliver or procure
delivery of its Notes with all unmatured Coupons relating to such Notes together
with a duly completed Conversion Notice to the specified office of the
Conversion Agent, during its usual business hours for such purposes and perform
together with the Company, the obligations applicable to it on conversion
specified in this Condition 6. Failure to deliver the Conversion Notice shall
not affect the conversion of such Notes pursuant to the terms of this Condition
6(D).

                  (iii) If any Noteholder with respect to whose Notes Mandatory
Conversion (pursuant to this Condition 6) is to take place shall fail to perform
its obligations specified in this Condition 6 or shall have a registered address
in any territory where, in the absence of any registration statement or other
special formalities or legal requirements, the issue, allotment, transfer or
delivery of the Shares arising on Mandatory Conversion in the reasonable opinion
of the Company, is or could be unlawful or impracticable, subject to applicable
law, Company shall make arrangements for the sale of such Shares to a third
party at the best consideration reasonably obtainable by the Company and arrange
for the Paying Agent to pay to such Noteholder the consideration received by it
in respect of such Shares (after any deduction required to reimburse any
reasonable and proper expenses incurred in arranging any such sale or any taxes
payable in connection therewith arising solely as a result of the Noteholder's
failure to perform its obligations under this Condition 6(D)).

                  (iv)  From and after the Mandatory Conversion Date and upon
compliance by the Company of its obligations hereunder with respect to such
conversion, the Notes shall cease to constitute Indebtedness of the Company and
shall thereafter be only deemed to represent the right to receive Shares.

         (E)      Notice of Certain Corporate Action

         In case of the occurrence of one or more of the events that are listed
herein, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Paying Agent and the
Conversion Agent and to be published in the manner provided under Condition 15
hereof within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which notice is sent to
the holders of the Company's Common Stock. Such events are: (i) the Company
shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable
(1) otherwise than exclusively in cash, or (2) exclusively in cash in an amount
that would require a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to Condition
6(C)(iii); or (ii) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of
its Common Stock of rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights (excluding employee
stock options); or (iii) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the
Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of
Common Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party
and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(iv) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company; or (v) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall commence
a tender or exchange offer for all or a portion of the Company's outstanding
shares of Common Stock (or shall amend any such tender or exchange offer); The
Notice shall state (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution or granting of rights, warrants or options, or,
if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, warrants or
options are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is
expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
Common Stock for securities, cash or other Property deliverable upon such
re-classification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up, or (iii) the date on which such tender offer
commenced, the date on which

                                                                              17

<PAGE>

such tender offer is scheduled to expire unless extended, the consideration
offered and the other material terms thereof (or the material terms of any
amendment thereto).

         (F) Consolidation, Amalgamation or Merger

         In the event that the Company shall be a party to any transaction,
including without limitation any (i) recapitalization or reclassification of the
Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination of the Common Stock), (ii) any consolidation of the Company with, or
merger of the Company into, any other person, any merger of another person into
the Company (other than a merger which does not result in a reclassification,
conversion, exchange or cancellation of all of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company), (iii) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, or (iv) any compulsory share exchange pursuant to
which the Common Stock is converted into the right to receive other securities,
cash or other Property, the Company will forthwith notify the Noteholders of
such event in accordance with Condition 15 and, then lawful provision shall be
made as part of the terms of such transaction whereby the Holder of each Note
then Outstanding shall have the right (during the period in which such Note is
convertible) to convert such Note into the class and amount of shares and other
securities and property receivable upon such transaction by a holder of such
number of shares of Common Stock which would have been liable to be issued upon
conversion of such Note immediately prior to the transaction. So far as legally
possible, the Company shall cause the Person formed by such consolidation or
resulting from such merger or which acquired such assets or which acquired the
Company's Shares, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the Paying Agent on
behalf of each of the Noteholders an amendment to these Terms and Conditions as
provided for under Condition 17. Such amendment shall provide for adjustments
which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such amendment, shall be
as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
this Condition. The above provisions of this Condition 6(F) shall similarly
apply to successive transactions of the foregoing type.

         (G) Conversion Prohibited Under Certain Circumstances

         The Note shall not be convertible into Conversion Shares as provided in
this Condition 6 nor may it be redeemed for Shares as provided in Condition
7(B)(iii) herein if the Stock Exchange on which the Shares are listed requires
the approval by the stockholders of the Company of the issuance of the Shares
which may be issued upon the exercise of the conversion rights contained in this
Condition 6 or issued pursuant to Condition 7(B)(iii) and the stockholders fail
to approve such issuances of the Shares at an annual meeting or special meeting
held to approve such issuances.

7.       Redemption and Purchase

         (A) Unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and canceled as
provided herein, the Company will redeem the Notes at their principal amount on
March 31, 2007.

         (B) (i) If as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or
regulations of the U.S. or any political sub-division of, or any authority in,
or of, the U.S. having power to tax, or any change in the application or
official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment
becomes effective after March 31, 2002, the Company has or will become obliged
to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 8 (and such
amendment or change has been evidenced by the delivery by the Company to the
Paying Agent (who shall, in the absence of manifest error, accept such
certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence thereof) of (x) a certificate
signed by two officers of the Company on behalf of the Company stating that such
amendment or change has occurred (irrespective of whether such amendment or
change is then effective), describing the facts leading thereto and stating that
such obligation cannot be avoided by the Company taking reasonable measures
available to it and (y) an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognized
standing to the effect that such amendment or change has occurred (irrespective
of whether such amendment or change is then effective), the Company may at its
option, having given not less than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days' notice to
the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 (which notice shall be
irrevocable), redeem all the Notes but not some only, at their principal amount

                                                                              18

<PAGE>

together with interest (if any) accrued to (but excluding) the Redemption Date,
provided that no notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 calendar
days before the earliest date on which the Company would be required to pay such
additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due.

          (ii)  The Company may, at its option and after having given not less
than 30 nor more than 60 calendar days' notice to the Noteholders in accordance
with Condition 15 (which notice shall be irrevocable), redeem the Notes for
cash, in whole or in part, at their principal amount together with interest (if
any) accrued to (but excluding) the Redemption Date. If the Company elects to
redeem less than all the Notes, Company will select which Notes to redeem by
lot, random, or such other method as it shall deem fair and appropriate. Upon
expiry of any such notice period as is referred to in this Condition 7(B) (and
subject as provided above), the Company shall be bound to redeem Notes at their
principal amount, together with interest accrued to but excluding the Redemption
Date.

          (iii) Provided that the Shares which may be issued pursuant to this
paragraph shall be Freely Tradeable and listed on a Stock Exchange, commencing
March 31, 2006, the Company may redeem upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days notice, pursuant and subject the Conditions listed above, up to 50% of the
Outstanding Notes for Shares and, on March 31, 2007, the scheduled Maturity
Date, the Company may redeem upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice
any Outstanding Notes for Shares. If the Company elects to redeem the Notes for
Shares, each Note will be redeemed for the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to 110% of the sum of the face value of the Note plus interest accrued and
unpaid thereon divided by the average of the Market Price of the Shares over the
120 Stock Exchange Business Day period immediately preceding the date of notice
of such redemption. If the Company elects to redeem less than all the Notes, the
Company will select which Notes to redeem by lot, random, or such other method
as it shall deem fair and appropriate. Upon expiry of any such notice period as
is referred to in this Condition 7(B) (and subject as provided above), the
Company shall be bound to redeem Notes as described above.

     (C)  Subject to applicable law, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
at any time purchase Notes together with unmatured Coupons in any manner and at
any price in the open market or by private treaty. If purchases are made by
tender, tenders must be available to all Noteholders alike. Notes purchased by
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will forthwith be surrendered for
cancellation and shall no longer be deemed Outstanding.

          (D) All Notes which are redeemed by the Company will forthwith be
canceled (together with all related unmatured Coupons attached to or surrendered
with the Notes) and may not be reissued or resold.

8.        Taxation

          All payments in respect of the Notes by the Company shall be made
without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future
taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature ("Taxes")
imposed or levied by or on behalf of the U.S. or any political sub-division of,
or any authority in, or of, the U.S. having power to tax, unless the withholding
or deduction of the Taxes is required by law. In that event, the Company will
pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts
received by the Noteholders and Couponholders after the withholding or deduction
shall equal the respective amounts which would have been receivable in respect
of the Notes or, as the case may be, Coupons in the absence of the withholding
or deduction; except that no additional amounts shall be payable in relation to
any payment in respect of any Note or Coupon:

          (A) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable for
the Taxes in respect of the Note or Coupon by reason of such Holder having some
connection with the U.S. other than the mere holding of the Note or Coupon; and

          (B) presented for payment more than 30 calendar days after the
Relevant Date except to the extent that a Holder would have been entitled to
additional amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such
period of 30 calendar days; or

                                                                              19

<PAGE>

     (C)  to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who would not be liable
or subject to the withholding or deduction by making a declaration of
non-residence or other similar claim for exemption to the relevant tax
authority.

     Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to any amounts in respect of
the Notes shall be deemed also to refer to any additional amounts which may be
payable under this Condition.

9.   Additional Covenants

     While any Conversion Right remains exercisable, the Company will, save with
the approval of an Extraordinary Resolution:

     (1)  at all times keep available for issuance free from any preemptive
rights out of its authorized but unissued capital such number of Shares as would
enable the Conversion Rights and all other rights of subscription and exchange
for and conversion into Shares to be satisfied in full;

     (2)  maintain a listing for all the issued Shares and all Shares to be
issued on the exercise of the Conversion Rights on a Stock Exchange, it being
understood that if the Company is unable to obtain or maintain such listing of
Shares and will forthwith give notice to the Noteholders in accordance with
Condition 15 of the listing, de-listing or quotation or lack of quotation of the
Shares (as a class) by any such Stock Exchange; and

     (3)  not in any way modify the rights attaching to the Shares with respect
to voting, dividends or liquidation.

10.  Prescription

     Notes and Coupons will become void unless presented for payment within
periods of ten (10) years (in the case of principal) and five (5) years (in the
case of interest) from the Relevant Date in respect of the Notes or the Coupons,
as the case may be, subject to the provisions of Condition 5.

11.  Events of Default and Enforcement

     (A)  Event of Default

     "Event of Default," wherever used in these Terms and Conditions, means any
one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default,
whether voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to
any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of
any administrative or governmental body) which shall have occurred and is
continuing:

          (1) if default is made for a period of five (5)Business Days or more
in the payment of interest or principal due in respect of the Notes or any of
them; or

          (2) if the Company fails to perform or observe any of its other
obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions under the Notes, these Terms
and Conditions, the Company's 5.0% Senior Notes due 2003, or the trust indenture
pursuant to which such 5.0% Senior Notes due 2003 were issued, and such failure
continues for the period of 30 calendar days (or such longer period as the
Majority Holders may in their absolute discretion permit) next following the
service by the one or more of the Holders on the Company of notice requiring the
same to be remedied; or

          (3) if (i) any other Indebtedness of the Company becomes due and
payable prior to its Stated Maturity by reason of an event of default (howsoever
defined) or (ii) any such Indebtedness of the Company is not paid when due

                                                                              20

<PAGE>


or, as the case may be, within any applicable grace period or (iii) the
Company fails to pay when due (or, as the case may be, within any applicable
grace period) any amount payable by it under any present or future guarantee
for, or indemnity in respect of, any Indebtedness of any Person or (iv) any
security given by the Company or any subsidiary for any Indebtedness of any
Person or any guarantee or indemnity of Indebtedness of any Person by the
Company becomes enforceable by reason of default in relation thereto and steps
are taken to enforce such security save in any such case where there is a bona
fide dispute as to whether the relevant Indebtedness or any such guarantee or
indemnity as aforesaid shall be due and payable (following any applicable grace
period); provided, however, that in each such case the Indebtedness exceeds in
the aggregate U.S. $2,000,000 and in each such case such event continues
unremedied for a period of 30 calendar days (or such longer period as the
Majority Holders may in their sole discretion consent to in writing upon receipt
of written notice from the Company); or

                  (4) if the Company shall generally fail to pay its debts as
such debts come due (except debts which the Company may contest in good faith
generally) or shall be declared or adjudicated by a competent court to be
insolvent or bankrupt, shall consent to the entry of an order of relief against
it in an involuntary bankruptcy case, shall enter into any assignment or other
similar arrangement for the benefit of its creditors or shall consent to the
appointment of a custodian (including, without limitation, a receiver,
liquidator or Company); or

                  (5) if a receiver, administrative receiver, administrator or
other similar official shall be appointed in relation to the Company or in
relation to the whole or a substantial part its undertaking or assets or a
distress, execution or other process shall be levied or enforced upon or sued
out against, or an encumbrancer shall take possession of, the whole or a
substantial part of the assets of any of them and in any of the foregoing cases
is not paid out or discharged within 90 calendar days (or such longer period as
the Majority Holders may in their absolute discretion consent to in writing upon
receipt of written notice from the Company); or

                  (6) if the Company institutes proceedings to be adjudicated a
voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding
against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking organization
under the laws of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any similar applicable U.S.
federal, state or foreign law, or shall consent to the filing of any such
petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or
trustee or assignee (or other similar official) in bankruptcy or insolvency of
it or its Property, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they come
due; or

                  (7) if a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises shall have been entered adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent,
or approving as properly filed a petition seeking the reorganization of the
Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable U.S.
federal, state or foreign law, and such decree or order shall have continued
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 90 calendar days; or a decree or order
of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver
or liquidator or trustee or assignee (or other similar official) in bankruptcy
or insolvency of the Company or of all or substantially all of its Property, or
for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered, and
such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period
of 90 calendar days; or

                  (8) if a warranty, representation, or other statement made by
or on behalf of the Company contained herein or any certificate or other
agreement furnished in compliance herewith is false in any material respect when
made and such falsity continues for a period of 30 calendar days (or such longer
period as the Majority Holders may in their absolute discretion permit) next
following the service by one or more of the Holders on the Company of notice
requiring the same to be remedied; or

                  (9) if there is any final judgment or judgments for the
payment of money exceeding in the aggregate U.S. $2,000,000 outstanding against
the Company which has been outstanding for more than 60 calendar days from the
date of its entry and shall not have otherwise been discharged in full or stayed
by appeal, bond or otherwise.

         (B)      Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

                                                                             21

<PAGE>

         If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Condition 11(A)(6) or 11(A)(7)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such
case the Majority Holders may declare the principal amount of all the Notes and
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a
notice in writing to the Company, and upon any such declaration such principal
amount and accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable.

         If an Event of Default specified in Condition 11(A)(6) or Condition
11(A)(7) occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all the Notes
and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
any Noteholder.

         At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and
before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by
the Majority Holders as hereinafter in this Condition provided, the Majority
Holders, with written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if

is legally enforceable, interest on overdue interest at the rate prescribed
therefor in the Notes, and

                           (iv)   all reasonable sums paid or advanced by the

         The Company covenants that if

                  (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of
interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default
continues for a period of five (5) Business Days, or

                  (2) default is made in the  payment of the  principal of any
Note at the Maturity thereof and such default continues for a period of five (5)
Business Days,

the Company will, upon demand of the Majority Holders, pay to the Holders of the
Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and
interest, and interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent that payment
of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of
interest, at the rate prescribed therefor in the Notes, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Holders, their agents and counsel.

         If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand,
the Majority Holders in its their name, may institute a judicial proceeding for
the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to
judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any
other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be
payable in the manner provided by law out of the Property of the Company or any
other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

         If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Majority Holders
may in their discretion proceed to protect and enforce their rights and the
rights of the other Noteholders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as such
Holders shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in these terms
and conditions or to enforce any other proper remedy.

         (D)      Majority Holders May File Proofs of Claim

         In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes
or the Property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the
Majority Holders (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then
be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Majority Holders shall have made any demand on the
Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

                  (1)  to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Holders (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of such Holders , their agents and counsel)
and of the other Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

                  (2)  to collect and receive any moneys or other Property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Noteholder to make such payments to the Majority Holders due them for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Holders,
their agents and counsel and to pay to the Paying Agent (where one is appointed)
all such other sums due under the Notes. In the absence of such appointment, any
such sums shall be paid for the rateable benefit of all the Noteholders.

         Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Majority
Holders, except as permitted by law and these Terms and Conditions, to authorize
or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan

                                                                              23

<PAGE>


of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or
the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the such Holder to vote in
respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding, except to the
extent permitted by law.

         (E)    Majority Holders May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes

         All rights of action and claims under these Terms and Conditions may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Majority Holders without the possession of any of
the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any
such proceeding instituted by the Majority Holders shall be brought in their own
name and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Majority
Holders, their agents and counsel, be paid to the Paying Agent (where one is
appointed) for the rateable benefit of all the Noteholders in respect of which
such judgment has been recovered.

         (F)    Application of Money Collected

         Any money collected by the Majority Holder pursuant to this Condition
shall be applied in the following order in case of the distribution of such
money on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and
the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

                FIRST: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for
principal of and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of
which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of
any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal
and interest, respectively; and

                SECOND:  The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons
entitled thereto.

         (G)    Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest

         Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms and Conditions, the
Holder of any Note or of any Coupon, as the case may be, shall have the right,
which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein and
in such Note of the principal of and interest on, such Note on the respective
Stated Maturity or expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the
Redemption Date) or Coupon and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder; provided, that all monies paid by the Company to the Paying Agent for
the payment of principal or interest on any Note which remain unclaimed at the
end of two (2) years after the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date of such Note
will be repaid to the Company and the Holder of any Note or Coupon shall
thereafter have only the rights of a creditor of the Company or such rights as
may be otherwise provided by applicable law.

         (H)    Restoration of Rights and Remedies

         If the Majority Holders or any Noteholder has instituted any proceeding
to enforce any right or remedy under these Terms and Conditions and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Majority Holders or to such Noteholder, then and in
every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company,
the Majority Holders and the Noteholders shall be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Majority Holders and the Noteholders shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been instituted.

                                                                              24

<PAGE>

         (I)      Rights and Remedies Cumulative

         Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes as provided herein, no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Noteholders is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

         (J)      Delay or Omission Not Waiver

         No delay or omission of the Majority Holders or Holder of any Note to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to
the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Noteholders.

         (K)      Waiver of Past Defaults

         Subject to Condition 11(B), the Majority Holders may on behalf of the
Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences,
except a default

                  (1) in respect of the payment of the principal of or interest
on any Note, or

                  (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
Condition 17 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Note affected.

         Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
purpose of these Terms and Conditions; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

         (L)      Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws

         The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of these Terms and Conditions; and the Company (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law.

         (M)      Requirements Regarding Agents

         (1) At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing the Majority Holders shall notify in writing the Company and the
Paying Agent, and may by notice in writing to the Company and the Paying Agent:

                  (i)  require the Paying Agent, until notified to the contrary
by Majority Holders, to hold all Notes and Coupons and all moneys, documents and
records held by it in respect of Notes and Coupons to the order of the Holders;
or

                  (ii) require the Paying Agent to deliver to the Holders on a
pro rata basis all funds held by it for the benefit of the Holders, and to
deliver the documents and records held by it in respect of Notes and Coupons to
the Holders, provided that such notice shall be deemed not to apply to any
documents or records which the relevant Paying Agent is obliged to release by
any law or regulation; and

                                                                              25

<PAGE>

              (iii) require the Company to make all subsequent payments in
respect of the Notes and Coupons to or to the order of the Holders and not to
the Paying Agent.

         (2)  The Majority Holders shall notify the Paying Agent immediately
upon the cure or waiver of an Event of Default. Upon receipt of such notice, the
provisions of this Condition 11(M) shall no longer apply.

         (3)  Prior to taking any action under this Agreement at the direction
of any Person with respect to the Notes, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to
receive (and shall receive) indemnity or security satisfactory to it.

12.      Liability Solely Corporate

         No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or
interest on any Notes or any part thereof, or for any claim based thereon or
otherwise in respect thereof, or of the indebtedness represented thereby, or
upon any obligation, covenant or agreement in these Terms and Conditions,
against any incorporator, or against any stockholder, officer or director, as
such, past, present or future, of the Company, or of any predecessor or
successor Person, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor
or successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, it being
expressly agreed and understood that the Notes and these Terms and Conditions
which are a part thereof are solely corporate obligations, and that no personal
liability whatsoever shall attach to, or be insured by, any such incorporator,
stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the
Company or of any predecessor or successor Person, either directly or through
the Company or any such predecessor or successor Person, because of the
indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations,
covenants, promises or agreements contained in the Notes or the these Terms and
Conditions which constitute a part thereof or to be implied herefrom; and that
any such personal liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a
condition of, and as part of the consideration for the exchange transaction
pursuant to which the Notes were issued; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall be taken to prevent recourse to and the enforcement of the
liability, if any, of any stockholder or subscriber to capital stock of the
Company upon or in respect of shares of capital stock not fully paid up.

13.      Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

         (A)  Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance

         The Company may, at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with
respect to the Notes, elect to have either Condition 13(B) or Section 13(C)
applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Condition, The Company shall promptly give notice of such election
to the Holders.

         (B)  Legal Defeasance and Discharge

         Upon the Company's exercise under Condition 13(A) of the option
applicable to this Condition 13(B), the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes on the
date the conditions set forth in Condition 13(D) are satisfied (hereinafter,
"legal defeasance"). For this purpose, such legal defeasance means that the
Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by the Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
"Outstanding" only for the purposes of Condition 13(E) and the other Conditions
of these Terms and Conditions referred to in (1) and (2) below, and to have
satisfied all its obligations under such Notes, including the obligation to pay
interest on the Notes, and these Terms and Conditions insofar as such Notes are
concerned (and the Holders, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of
Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Condition 13(D) and as more fully set forth in such Condition, payments in
respect of the principal of and interest on such Notes when such payments are
due, and (B) the Company's obligations with respect to the Notes under
Conditions 1(D), 1(E), 1(H), 3(D) or 3(L). Subject to compliance with this
Condition, the Company

                                                                              26

may exercise its option under this Condition 13(B) notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Condition 13(C) with respect to the Notes.

         (C)      Covenant Defeasance

         Upon the Company's exercise under Section Condition 13(A) of the option

obligations under any covenant contained in Condition 3 (except Condition 3(D)
with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set
forth in Section 13(D)) are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and
the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not to be "Outstanding" for the purposes of
any request, demand, authorization, direction, declaration, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of Noteholders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection
with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other
purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with
respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall
have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in
any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Condition 11(A)(4) , but, except as specified above, the remainder of these and
the Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

         (D)      Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance

Condition 13(B) or Section 13 (C) to the Outstanding Notes:

of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
satisfied until the expiration of such period).

                                                                              27

to the payment, either directly or through the Paying Agent (including the
Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the to the Holders of the Notes of

until such time as the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Condition 13(E); provided, however,

U.S. Government Obligations or both pursuant to Condition 13(E) and prior to the

in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor
signed by such Noteholders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Company. Such
