respect of such Spin-off by an options exchange to options on the Shares traded on such

|2. | Net Share Settlement Provisions:     
          Net Share Settlement:
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | If
CSFB is the Deliveree then CSFB, through the Selling Agent or any underwriter(s), will
sell all or such lesser portion as may be required hereunder, of the Shares comprising the
Final Settlement Amount commencing on the Net Settlement Date and continuing until the Net
Settlement Amount has been paid in full (such date on which the last Shares of the Final
Settlement Amount are sold, the Final Resale Date). If
the proceeds of any sale(s) made by CSFB as Deliveree, the Selling Agent or any
underwriter(s), net of any fees and commissions (including, without limitation,
underwriting or placement fees), customary for similar transactions under the
circumstances at the time of the offering, together with carrying charges and expenses
incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares (including, but without
limitation to, the covering of any over-allotment or short position (syndicate or
otherwise)) (the Net Proceeds) exceed the Net Settlement Amount
as determined by CSFB, CSFB as Deliveree will refund, in U.S. Dollars, such excess to
Counterparty as Deliveror on the date that is three (3) Currency Business Days following
the Final Resale Date, and, if any portion of the Final Settlement Amount remains unsold,
CSFB as Deliveree shall return to Counterparty as Deliveror on that date such unsold
Shares.

If
CSFB is the Deliveree and if the Calculation Agent determines that the Net Proceeds
received from the sale of Final Settlement Amount or any Additional Shares (if any)
pursuant to the immediately preceding Section hereof are less than the aggregate Net
Settlement Amount (the amount in U.S. Dollars by which the Net Proceeds are less than the
Net Settlement Amount being the Shortfall and the date on which such
determination is made, the Deficiency Determination
Date), Counterparty shall on the Exchange Business Day next succeeding
Deficiency Determination Date deliver to CSFB, through the Agent, a notice of
Counterpartys election that Counterparty as Deliveror shall either (i) pay an amount
in cash equal to the Shortfall on the day that is one (1) Currency Business Day after the
Deficiency Determination Date, or (ii) deliver Additional Shares. In the event that
Counterparty elects for the delivery of Additional Shares, then Counterparty as Deliveror
hereby agrees to deliver to CSFB as Deliveree Additional Shares, which meet the conditions
specified herein with respect to the Shares comprised in the Final Settlement Amount, (the
Additional Shares) on the first Clearance System Business Day
which is also an Exchange Business Day following the Deficiency Determination Date in such
number as the Calculation Agent reasonably believes would have a market value on that
Exchange Business Day equal to the Shortfall. Such Additional Shares shall be sold by CSFB
as Deliveree in accordance with the provisions above; provided that if the sum of the Net
Proceeds from the sale of the originally delivered Shares and the Net Proceeds from the
sale of any Additional Shares is less than the Net Settlement Amount then Counterparty
hereby agrees to make the same election set forth herein and then Counterparty as
Deliveror hereby agrees either make such cash payment or deliver to CSFB as Deliveree
further Additional Shares until such Shortfall has been reduced to zero. If the sum of the
Net Proceeds from the sale of the originally delivered Shares and the Net Proceeds from
the sale of any Additional Shares exceeds the Net Settlement Amount then CSFB as Deliveree
will refund, in U.S. Dollars, such excess to Counterparty as Deliveror on the date that is
three (3) Currency Business Days following the Final Resale Date and, if any portion of
the Final Settlement Amount or the Additional Shares remains unsold, CSFB as Deliveree
shall return to Counterparty as Deliveror on the date that is two (2) Currency Business
Days following the Final Resale Date such unsold Shares.

If
any amount due and payable on the relevant Termination Date remains unperformed by the
terms of this Confirmation in whole or in part, then the Calculation Agent, using its
commercially reasonable judgment, shall include in or deduct from (as the case might be)
the Net Settlement Amount as determined above an additional amount attributable to
interest earned on such unpaid amount at a rate equal to the open Federal Funds rate, plus
a Spread (as defined in the 2000 Definitions) determined as of the relevant Termination
Date equal to the credit spread over the applicable overnight rate, as determined by the
Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner, that would be imposed if CSFB were
to extend credit to Counterparty in such amount in light of the credit quality of
Counterparty in the then prevailing market (in determining commercial reasonableness the
Calculation Agent expects to take into consideration, among other things, the credit
spread of similar companies in the relevant industry and other companies having a
substantially similar credit quality) for the period from, and including, the Termination
Date to, but excluding, the Final Resale Date. Obligations which are unpaid or unperformed
as of the Termination Date that are not permitted pursuant to the terms of this
Confirmation to be unpaid or unperformed as of such date shall give rise to the rights and
remedies of Sections 5 and 6 of the Agreement.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Offering Method:
| | ----------------

| |  | If
Counterparty has selected Net Share Settlement as the Method of Settlement in respect of
this Transaction, then Counterparty shall determine whether the offering method (the
Offering Method) by which the Shares to be sold in respect of
this Transaction will be pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and in a manner
which otherwise satisfies the terms and conditions of Appendix A hereto (a
Registered Offering) or pursuant to an offering that is exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (an Exempt
Offering).

It
shall be a condition precedent to Counterpartys election of a Registered Offering
that Counterparty shall have filed a registration statement that has been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and that
complies with the Registration Procedure of Appendix A hereto. To the extent required to
effect such Registered Offering, CSFB will use its reasonable efforts, and shall use
reasonable efforts to cause each of any Selling Agent engaged by CSFB and any
underwriter(s)), to co-operate with Counterparty in order to comply in all material
respects with the Registration Procedures. The Selling Agent shall mean a
broker dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15 of the Exchange Act; the Selling
Agent may also be an underwriter for purposes of this Offering Method provision.

If
Counterparty elects an Exempt Offering, it agrees to comply with the reasonable requests
of CSFB, the Selling Agent, any placement agent, if any, and any purchaser of the Shares.
If Counterparty has elected an Exempt Offering as the Offering Method, CSFB agrees to use
commercially reasonable means to effect such Exempt Offering at commercially reasonable
prices in light of the market conditions and the circumstances of Counterparty at the time
of the Offering. Counterparty hereby acknowledges that any Shares sold pursuant to an
Exempt Offering may be sold at prices that are less than the prices that may otherwise be
available if such Shares were to be sold pursuant to a registered public offering or at
prices observed in the secondary market. 

Neither
CSFB nor the Selling Agent shall have any obligation to commence any offer and sale of any
Shares in respect of a Net Share Settlement until, in the case of a Registered Offering,
each condition set forth in Appendix A hereto has been satisfied, CSFB, the Selling Agent
and any underwriter(s) shall have completed any due diligence investigations, made such
inquiries and executed and delivered an underwriting agreement containing customary
representations, covenants, indemnities and contribution provisions and pursuant to which,
inter alia, CSFB, the Selling Agent and any underwriter(s) shall have received such
letters, opinions, certificates or other documents, in form and substance satisfactory to
CSFB, the Selling Agent and any underwriter(s), as such person(s) may require in light of
the applicable federal and state securities laws or, in the case of an Exempt Offer, such
conditions as any purchasers or the Selling Agent, or their respective counsel, may
reasonably require.

| | Discharge of certain payment obligations::
| | ------------------------------------------

| |  | If
Counterparty shall owe CSFB any amount pursuant to Section 12.7 of the Equity Definitions
(except in the event of a Nationalization, Insolvency or a Share-for-Cash Merger Event) or
pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement (except in the event of an Event of Default with
respect to which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party) (in either case, a
Payment Obligation), Counterparty may elect to satisfy such
Payment Obligation by delivering to CSFB Shares (or, in the case of a Merger Event, any
other property included in the merger consideration to be paid to holders of Shares
(Alternate Termination Property), provided that in
the case of a Share-for-Other Merger, Counterparty shall deliver to CSFB as part of the
Alternate Termination Property an amount of cash that represents a percentage of the total
Value (defined below) of the Alternate Termination Property delivered to Counterparty
pursuant to this paragraph at least equal to the percentage that the cash portion of the
merger consideration received by a holder of one share represents of the total value (as
determined by the Calculation Agent) of the merger consideration received by a holder of
one Share, assuming for purposes of this calculation that such holder elected to receive
the maximum possible amount of cash as consideration in such Merger Event) in lieu of all
or any portion of the cash otherwise deliverable. Such election by Counterparty shall be
made by Counterparty and communicated to Counterparty, through the Agent, on (or before)
either the Merger Date or the date of the occurrence of the Insolvency or the Early
Termination Date (as the case might be). If Counterparty fails to communicate such
election to CSFB by that time, then Section 12.7 of the 2002 Definitions or of Section 6
of the Agreement, as the case might be, shall be deemed to apply. For purposes of this
paragraph, Value shall mean (i) in the case of cash, the amount
thereof, (ii) in the case of Shares or other property consisting of securities, the Net
Proceeds generated by the sale thereof by CSFB and (iii) in the case of other property,
the value thereof to CSFB as determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially
reasonable manner. 

If
Counterparty makes such election, the terms of the provisions entitled Net Share
Settlement and Offering Method shall apply mutatis
mutandis as if Counterparty had elected Net Share Settlement as the Method of
Settlement in respect of this Transaction, provided that for purposes of such
application: (i) any references in such provisions to the Shares shall be deemed to be
references to the Shares or other Alternate Termination Property; (ii) any deliveries in
respect thereof shall be of Shares or other Alternate Termination Property and shall be
made on the date of payment or delivery required by Section 12.7 of the Equity Definitions
or Section 6 of the Agreement, as the case may be; and (iii) the Final Resale Date shall
be the second Exchange Business Day immediately following such date of delivery. 

For
the purposes of this Discharge of certain payment obligations provision, the
terms of Section 12.7 of the 2002 Definitions shall be deemed to apply to this Transaction
and references to the Buyer and the Seller therein shall be deemed
references to Counterparty and CSFB, respectively, mutatis mutandis.

|3. | Other Provisions:
|-- | -----------------

| | Indemnification:
| | ----------------

| |  | Counterparty
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CSFB, its affiliates, their respective directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors, brokers and representatives and each person who
controls CSFB or its affiliates within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act against, and Counterparty agrees that no indemnified party shall have any
liability to Counterparty or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, or employees for,
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or
otherwise) or expenses, joint or several, to which any indemnified party may become
subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law
or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (or actions, claims, investigations or proceedings in respect
thereof, whether commenced or threatened) (i) arise out of or relate to (A) actions or
failures to act by Counterparty (including any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a
material fact contained in a registration statement or a prospectus relating to the
delivery of Shares of the Issuer upon any election of Counterparty of Net Share
Settlement, if any, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading) or (B) actions or failures to act
by an indemnified party with the consent of Counterparty or (ii) otherwise arise out of or
relate to this Transaction or any related transactions, provided that this clause (ii)
shall not apply to the extent, but only to the extent, that any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses of an indemnified party have resulted primarily from the gross
negligence, wilful misconduct of such indemnified party or material breach of any covenant
made by CSFB hereunder in which case CSFB shall indemnify Counterparty for any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise)
or expenses which Counterparty may suffer as a result of such indemnified parties
gross negligence, wilful misconduct or CSFBs material breach of a covenant
hereunder. Counterparty agrees to reimburse promptly each such indemnified party for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damages, liability, expense or action. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Counterparty will not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expenses arises out of
or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to Counterparty by or on behalf of CSFB specifically for use in connection with
the preparation of a prospectus or any supplement thereto. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which Counterparty may otherwise have
| |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Contribution:
| | -------------

| |  | If
the indemnification provided for above is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect
of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each
applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative fault of Counterparty on the one hand and of CSFB on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, but also any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of Counterparty on the one hand and CSFB on the other
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the misstatement or
alleged misstatement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by Counterparty or by CSFB and the
parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed
to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The parties agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph (c) were
determined by a method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

Counterparty hereby represents and warrants to CSFB as of the date hereof that:

| |  | 1. | Counterparty has entered into this Transaction in connection with its duly
          authorized Share repurchase program (the Share Repurchase
          Program) publicly announced in its current report on Form 8-K as filed
          with the SEC on October 22, 2003 and in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q as
          filed with SEC on November 14, 2003 and solely for the purposes stated in such
          disclosures.
| |  | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 2. | On the Trade Date and giving effect to the Transaction, Counterparty has
          complied with all applicable law in connection with disclosure of all material
          information with respect to its business, operations or condition (financial or
          otherwise); and as of the date hereof and as of each day until the Termination
          Date (excluding those Valuation Dates on which either party delivers notice to
          the other party through the Agent by 9:15 a.m., New York time, that such day
          shall not be a Valuation Date), is currently prohibited by law, contract or
          otherwise from purchasing Shares during the term of the Transaction.
| |  | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 3. | Counterparty is entering into the Agreement and this Confirmation in good faith
          and not as part of plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal
          securities laws including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 of the Securities
          Exchange Act (the Exchange Act).
| |  | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 4. | The Counterparty is not on the date hereof engaged in a distribution, as such
          term is used in Regulation M under the Exchange Act (Regulation
          M), that would preclude purchases by CSFB of the Shares or cause the
          Counterparty to violate any law, rule or regulation with respect to such
          purchases.
| |  | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 6. | Neither the Counterparty nor any subsidiary is, and after giving effect to the
          transactions contemplated hereby, will not be an investment company
          or a company controlled by an investment company, in
          each case within the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Investment Company
          Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act), nor is
          the Counterparty or any subsidiary subject to regulation under the Investment
          Company Act.
| |  | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 7. | Counterparty is, and shall be as of the date of any payment or delivery by
          Counterparty hereunder, solvent and able to pay its debts as they come due, with
          assets having a fair value greater than liabilities and with capital sufficient
          to carry on the businesses in which it engages.
| |  | -- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 8. | Counterparty (a) has timely filed, caused to be timely filed or will timely file
          or cause to be timely filed all material tax returns that are required to be
          filed by it as of the date hereof and (b) has paid all material taxes shown to
          be due and payable on said returns or on any assessment made against it or any
          of its property and all other material taxes, assessments, fees, liabilities or
          other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any governmental
          authority, unless in each case the same are being contested in good faith. For
          purposes of determining whether a tax return has been timely filed, any
          extensions shall be taken into account.

| | Representations, Warranties and Covenants of CSFB:

| |  | With the co-operation of Counterparty, CSFB undertakes to conduct its purchases of the Shares
           with respect to this Transaction in compliance with Rule 10b18 of the Exchange Act
           as if such rule were applicable to such purchases. CSFB shall not purchase Shares on any
           Scheduled Trading Day on which Counterparty has provided notice to CSFB through the Agent
           by 9:15 a.m., New York time, directing CSFB not to purchase Shares on such day.
| |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Covenants of Counterparty:
| | --------------------------

| |  | 1. | Counterparty shall notify CSFB immediately of Counterpartys intention to
          purchase Shares or any other security of the Issuer that is convertible into or
          exchangeable for Shares in an amount that would cause CSFB to become the
          beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than seven (7) percent of the
          outstanding Shares of any equity security of the Issuer. Counterparty shall not
          take any such action unless a period of fifteen (15) Exchange Business Days
          shall have elapsed after receipt of such notice by CSFB and CSFB shall not have
          objected in writing to such action during such period.

| |  | 2. | Counterparty shall comply with Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act throughout the
          term of the Transaction.
| |  | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          forth in Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
| |  | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 4. | If an Counterparty is prohibited from purchasing its shares under Regulation M,
          then Counterparty will use its reasonable efforts to cause such distribution to
          be completed or otherwise terminated as soon as reasonably practicable given the
          circumstances, it being understood that it is fully within Counterpartys
          discretion to undertake transactions pursuant to Regulation M.
| |  | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | 5. | On each Valuation Date (excluding those Valuation Dates on which either party
          delivers notice to the other party through the Agent by 9:15 a.m., New York
          time, that such day shall not be a Valuation Date) from the date hereof to the
          Termination Date (as such date may be adjusted from time to time as provided
          herein), Counterparty will effect all of its purchase transactions in Shares
          through CSFB and its affiliates.

| |  | 2. | It is entering into the Transaction for its own account and not with a view to
          the distribution or resale of the Transaction or its rights thereunder except
          pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under, or an exemption
          from the registration requirements of, the Securities Act.

          upon the designation or deemed designation by the relevant party of an Early
          Termination Date, such party shall have the right to terminate, liquidate and
          otherwise close out the transactions contemplated by this Confirmation pursuant
          to the terms hereof and thereof, and to set off any obligation that such party
          or any affiliate of such party may have to the other party hereunder or under
          any Confirmation relating to any transaction compliant with EITF Issue 00-19
           Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
          Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock  including without
          limitation any obligation to make any release, delivery or payment to either
          party pursuant any other agreement between such parties or any affiliates of
          such party and the other party, against any right such other party may have
          against such party, including without limitation any right to receive a payment
          or delivery pursuant to this Confirmation or any other agreement between such
          parties or any affiliates of a party and the other party. In the case of a
          set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay assets against any right to
          receive assets of the same type, such obligation and right shall be set off in
          kind. In the case of a set-off of any obligation to release, deliver or pay
          assets against any right to receive assets of any other type, the value of each
          of such obligation and such right shall be determined by the Calculation Agent
          and the result of such set-off shall be that the net obligor shall pay or
          deliver to the other party an amount of cash or assets, at the net
          obligors option, with a value (determined, in the case of a delivery of
          assets, by the Calculation Agent) equal to that of the net obligation. In
          determining the value of any obligation to release or deliver Shares or right to
          receive Shares, the value at any time of such obligation or right shall be
          determined by reference to the market value of the Shares at such time. If an
          obligation or right is unascertained at the time of any such set-off, the
          Calculation Agent may in good faith estimate the amount or value of such
          obligation or right, in which case set-off will be effected in respect of that
          estimate, and the relevant party shall account to the other party at the time
          such obligation or right is ascertained.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by CSFB and

Shares to be delivered to the Selling Agent by Counterparty, the provisions of this
Appendix A shall be a Condition Precedent to all sales of Shares in respect of this
Transaction in satisfaction of a delivery of Shares pursuant to Net Share Settlement
including the resale of the number of Shares which were acquired in a transaction not
involving any public offering and any Additional Shares (collectively, the
Shares).

(a)    
          Counterparty will reserve and have available, free from pre-emptive rights, out
          of its authorized but unissued capital stock the number of Shares of capital
          stock that would be issuable with respect to such payment, for the purpose of
          effecting the delivery of any amount of Shares due from Counterparty as provided
          in the Confirmation.

(b)    
          Counterparty will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
          (SEC) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the

          to be Delivered; such registration statement shall have been declared effective
          with respect to such Shares (the Registration
          Statement) and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
          Registration Statement shall be in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose
          shall be pending before or threatened by the SEC.

          together with such other agreements, certificates and instruments as CSFB may
          reasonably require either pursuant to such underwriting agreement or as are
          customarily provided together with such underwriting agreement.

          covered by the Registration Statement; provided that Counterparty shall not be
          required to make any filing or take any action as a result of this paragraph (d)

          general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(e)    
          Counterparty shall have caused such Shares and the issuance thereof to be
          registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities
          in the United States of America as may be reasonably necessary to be done by
          Counterparty to enable CSFB or any underwriter to consummate the disposition of
          such Shares.

          opportunities to discuss the business of Counterparty with its officers and the
          independent public accountants who have issued a report on its financial
          statement as shall be reasonably necessary, in the opinion of CSFB and such

          included with respect to CSFB, CSFBs underwriter(s) and the Plan of
          Distribution, including, without limitation, language to the effect that

          CSFB of the investment quality thereof and (vi) if requested by CSFB, deleted
          from such Filed Materials any reference to CSFB by name or otherwise if in the
          written opinion of counsel to CSFB, acceptable in form and substance to
          Counterparty, such reference to CSFB by name or otherwise is not required by the
          Securities Act or any similar Federal statute or applicable law then in force.

          financial statements included in such Registration Statement, each in form and
          substance satisfactory to CSFB and any such underwriter and their respective
          counsel covering substantially the same matters with respect to such Shares and

          Issuer as are customarily covered in opinions of issuers counsel and in
          accountants letters delivered to underwriter(s) in underwritten public
          offerings of securities and, in the case of the accountants letter, such
          other financial matters as CSFB may have reasonably requested.

(h)    
          Counterparty will have complied with all applicable provisions of the Securities
          Act and the Exchange Act, all applicable rules of the SEC and all other
          applicable laws, rules and regulations of any governmental or regulatory
