REGISTRATION STATEMENT") registering the resale from time to time by Holders

STATEMENT"). The Initial Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or

elected by the Holders and set forth in the Initial Shelf Registration
Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the

Securities Act as promptly as is practicable but in any event by the date (the
"EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE DATE") that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the
Issue Date, and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration Statement (or any
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) continuously effective under the
Securities Act until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period. At the time the

became a Notice Holder on or prior to the date ten (10) Business Days prior to
such time of effectiveness shall be named as a selling securityholder in the

the Effectiveness Period (other than because all Registrable Securities
registered thereunder shall have been resold pursuant thereto or shall have
otherwise ceased to be Registrable Securities), the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending
the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within thirty (30) days of
such cessation of effectiveness amend the Shelf Registration Statement in a
manner reasonably expected to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the
effectiveness thereof, or file an additional Shelf Registration Statement (a

as of the date of such filing are Registrable Securities. If a Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective
as promptly as is practicable after such filing and to keep such Registration
Statement (or subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) continuously effective
until the end of the Effectiveness Period.

     (c)     The Company shall supplement and amend the Shelf Registration
Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to
the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement
or as otherwise required by the Securities Act or as necessary to name a Notice
Holder as a selling securityholder pursuant to Section 2(d) below.

     (d)     Each Holder agrees that if such Holder wishes to sell Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus, it
will do so only in accordance with this Section 2(d) and Section 3(h). Following
the date that the Initial Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective,
each Holder wishing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement and related Prospectus agrees to deliver a Notice and
Questionnaire to the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to any
intended distribution of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration
Statement. Each Holder who elects to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Shelf Registration Statement agrees, by submitting a Notice and Questionnaire to
the Company, it will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Notice and
Questionnaire and this Agreement. From and after the date the Initial Shelf
Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall, as promptly as
practicable after the date a Notice and Questionnaire is delivered pursuant to
Section 9(c) hereof, and in any event upon the later of (x) fifteen (15)
Business Days after such date or (y) five (5) Business Days after the expiration
of any Deferral Period in effect when the Notice and Questionnaire is delivered
or that is put into effect within fifteen (15) Business Days of such delivery
date:

             (i)     if required by applicable law, file with the SEC a
     post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or prepare
     and, if required by applicable law, file a supplement to the related
     Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated
     therein by reference or file any other required document so that the Holder
     delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is named as a selling
     securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related
     Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such
     Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with
     applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to
     the Shelf Registration Statement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause
     such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities
     Act as promptly as is practicable, but in any event by the date (the
     "AMENDMENT EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE DATE") that is forty-five (45) days after
     the date such post-effective amendment is required by this clause to be
     filed; and

             (ii)    provide such Holder copies of any documents filed pursuant
     to Section 2(d)(i);

PROVIDED, that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral
Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and
Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above
upon expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 3(h). The
Company shall notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the
effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed
pursuant to Section 2(d)(i). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, (i) the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that
is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in any Registration Statement
or related Prospectus and (ii) the Amendment Effectiveness Deadline Date shall
be extended by up to fifteen (15) Business Days from the expiration of a
Deferral Period (and the Company shall incur no obligation to pay Liquidated
Damages during such extension or during such Deferral Period) if such Deferral
Period shall be in effect on the Amendment Effectiveness Deadline Date.

     (e)     The parties hereto agree that the Holders of Registrable Securities
will suffer damages, and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent
of such damages with precision, if, other than as permitted hereunder:

             (i)     the Initial Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed
     on or prior to the Filing Deadline Date;

             (ii)    the Initial Shelf Registration Statement has not been
     declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the
     Effectiveness Deadline Date;

             (iii)   the Company has failed to perform its obligations set forth
     in Section 2(d)(i) within the time period required therein;

             (iv)    any post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration
     Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) has not become effective under
     the Securities Act on or prior to the Amendment Effectiveness Deadline
     Date; or

             (v)     the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period
     exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such periods pursuant to
     Section 3(h) hereof.

Each event described in any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) is
individually referred to herein as an "EVENT." For purposes of this Agreement,

</Table>

For purposes of this Agreement, Events shall begin on the dates set forth in the
table above and shall continue until the ending dates set forth in the table
above.

     Commencing on (and including) any date that an Event has begun and ending
on (but excluding) the next date on which there are no Events that have occurred
and are continuing (a "DAMAGES ACCRUAL PERIOD"), the Company shall pay, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, to Record Holders of Registrable
Securities an amount (the "LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT") accruing, for each day in
the Damages Accrual Period, (i) in respect of any Note, at a rate per annum
equal to 0.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding and
(ii) in respect of each share of Underlying Common Stock, at a rate per annum
equal to 0.5% of the Conversion Price on such date, as the case may be; PROVIDED
that in the case of a Damages Accrual Period that is in effect solely as a
result of an Event of the type described in clause (iii) or (iv) of the
preceding paragraph, such Liquidated Damages Amount shall be paid only to the
Holders (as set forth in the succeeding paragraph) that have delivered Notices
and Questionnaires that caused the Company to incur the obligations set forth in
Section 2(d) the non-performance of which is the basis of such Event. In
calculating the Liquidated Damages Amount on any date on which no Notes are
outstanding, the Conversion Price and the Liquidated Damages Amount payable with
respect to shares of Common Stock which are Registrable Securities shall be
calculated as if the Notes were still outstanding. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Liquidated Damages Amount shall accrue as to any Registrable
Security from and after the earlier of (x) the date such security is no longer a
Registrable Security or (y) expiration of the Effectiveness Period. The rate of
accrual of the Liquidated Damages Amount with respect to any period shall not
exceed the rate provided for in this paragraph notwithstanding the occurrence of
multiple concurrent Events.

     The Liquidated Damages Amount shall accrue from the first day of the
applicable Damages Accrual Period, and shall be payable on each Damages Payment
Date during the Damage Accrual Period (and on the Damages Payment Date next
succeeding the end of the Damages Accrual Period if the Damage Accrual Period
does not end on or prior to a Damages Payment Date) to the Record Holders of the
Registrable Securities entitled thereto; PROVIDED that

                                        8
<Page>

any Liquidated Damages Amount accrued with respect to any Note or portion
thereof redeemed by the Company on a redemption date or converted into
Underlying Common Stock on a conversion date prior to the Damages Payment Date,
shall, in any such event, be paid instead to the Holder who submitted such Note
or portion thereof for redemption or conversion on the applicable redemption
date or conversion date, as the case may be, on such date (or promptly following
the conversion date, in the case of conversion); and PROVIDED FURTHER that, in
the case of an Event of the type described in clause (iii) or (iv) of the first
paragraph of this Section 2(e), such Liquidated Damages Amount shall be paid
only to the Holders entitled thereto pursuant to such first paragraph by check
mailed to the address set forth in the Notice and Questionnaire delivered by
such Holder. The Trustee shall be entitled, on behalf of registered holders of
Notes or Underlying Common Stock, to seek any available remedy for the
enforcement of this Agreement, including for the payment of such Liquidated
Damages Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the sole
damages payable for a violation of the terms of this Agreement with respect to
which liquidated damages are expressly provided shall be such liquidated
damages. Nothing shall preclude any Holder from pursuing or obtaining specific
performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Agreement in
accordance with applicable law.

     All of the Company's obligations set forth in this Section 2(e) that are
outstanding with respect to any Registrable Security at the time such security
ceases to be a Registrable Security shall survive until such time as all such
obligations with respect to such security have been satisfied in full
(notwithstanding termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9(k)).

     The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages provided for in this
Section 2(e) constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be
incurred by Holders of Registrable Securities by reason of the failure of the
Shelf Registration Statement to be filed or declared effective or available for
effecting resales of Registrable Securities in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

     SECTION 3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with the registration
obligations of the Company under Section 2 hereof, during the Effectiveness
Period, the Company shall:

             (a)     Prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or
     Registration Statements on any appropriate form under the Securities Act
     available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof
     in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof,
     and use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration
     Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein;
     PROVIDED that before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
     amendments or supplements thereto with the SEC (but excluding reports filed
     with the SEC under the Exchange Act), furnish to Morgan Stanley & Co.
     Incorporated, on behalf of itself and the other Initial Purchasers, and the
     Special Counsel, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed
     at least three (3) Business Days prior to the filing of such Registration
     Statement or amendment thereto or Prospectus or supplement thereto;
     PROVIDED that, if reasonably requested by the Company, such persons shall
     have executed and delivered to the Company a Confidentiality Agreement with
     respect thereto.

             (b)     Subject to Section 3(h), prepare and file with the SEC such
     amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as
     may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective
     for the applicable period specified in Section 2(a); cause the related
     Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as
     so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions
     then in force) under the Securities Act; and use its reasonable best
     efforts to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to
     it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
     Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period in accordance with
     the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in
     such Registration Statement as so amended or such Prospectus as so
     supplemented.

             (c)     As promptly as practicable give notice to the Notice
     Holders, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, on behalf of itself and the
     other Initial Purchasers, and the Special Counsel, if any (i) when any
     Prospectus, prospectus supplement, Registration Statement or post-effective
     amendment to a Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC and, with
     respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when
     the same has been declared effective, (ii) of any request, following the
     effectiveness of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement under the
     Securities Act, by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental
     authority for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or
     related Prospectus or for additional information relating to the Shelf
     Registration Statement, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other
     federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the
     effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation or
     threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the
     Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
     qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
     Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of
     any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of, but not the
     nature of or details concerning, a Material Event and (vi) of the
     determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to a
     Registration Statement will be filed with the SEC, which notice may, at the
     discretion of the Company (or as required pursuant to Section 3(h)), state
     that it constitutes a Deferral Notice, in which event the provisions of
     Section 3(h) shall apply; PROVIDED that, in the case of any of the
     foregoing, if reasonably requested by the Company, such persons shall have
     executed and delivered to the Company a Confidentiality Agreement with
     respect thereto.

             (d)     Use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of
     any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the
     lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from
     qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
     jurisdiction in which they have been qualified for sale, in either case at
     the earliest possible moment, and provide immediate notice to each Notice
     Holder and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, on behalf of itself and the
     other Initial Purchasers, of the withdrawal of any such order.

             (e)     As promptly as practicable furnish to each Notice Holder,
     the Special Counsel, if any, and the Initial Purchasers, upon request and
     without charge, at least one (1) conformed copy of the Registration
     Statement and any amendment thereto, including

                                       10
<Page>

     exhibits and if requested, all documents incorporated or deemed to be
     incorporated therein by reference.

             (f)     Deliver to each Notice Holder, the Special Counsel, if any,
     and the Initial Purchasers, in connection with any sale of Registrable
     Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, without charge, as many
     copies of the Prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities (including
     each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as
     such persons may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents
     (except during such periods that a Deferral Notice is outstanding and has
     not been revoked) to the use of such Prospectus or each amendment or
     supplement thereto by each Notice Holder in connection with any offering
     and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any
     amendment or supplement thereto in the manner set forth therein.

             (g)     Prior to any public offering of the Registrable Securities
     pursuant to a Registration Statement, use its reasonable best efforts to
     register or qualify or cooperate with the Notice Holders and the Special
     Counsel, if any, in connection with the registration or qualification (or
     exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
     Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
     jurisdictions within the United States as any Notice Holder reasonably
     requests in writing (which request may be included in the Notice and
     Questionnaire); prior to any public offering of the Registrable Securities
     pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, use its reasonable best
     efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption
     therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period in connection with
     such Notice Holder's offer and sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to
     such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) and do any and
     all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the
     disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities in the
     manner set forth in the relevant Registration Statement and the related
     Prospectus; PROVIDED that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify
     as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction
     where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Agreement
     or (ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process
     in suits or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
     subject.

             (h)     Upon (A) the issuance by the SEC of a stop order suspending
     the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of
     proceedings with respect to any Registration Statement under Section 8(d)
     or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (B) the occurrence of any event or the
     existence of any fact (a "MATERIAL EVENT") as a result of which any
     Registration Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material
     fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
     necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any Prospectus
     shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
     material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
     statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
     made, not misleading, or (C) the occurrence or existence of any pending
     corporate development that, in the reasonable discretion of the Company,
     makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of any Registration
     Statement and the related Prospectus:

                                       11
<Page>

                     (i) in the case of clause (B) above, subject to the next
             sentence, as promptly as practicable prepare and file, if necessary
             pursuant to applicable law, a post-effective amendment to such
             Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or
             any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other
             required document that would be incorporated by reference into such
             Registration Statement and Prospectus so that such Registration
             Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
             or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
             necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and such
             Prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
             or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
             necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
             circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as
             thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable
             Securities being sold thereunder, and, in the case of a
             post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, subject to
             the next sentence, use its reasonable best efforts to cause it to
             be declared effective as promptly as is practicable, and

                     (ii) give notice to the Notice Holders and the Special
             Counsel, if any, that the availability of the Shelf Registration
             Statement is suspended (a "DEFERRAL NOTICE") and, upon receipt of
             any Deferral Notice, each Notice Holder agrees not to sell any
             Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until
             such Notice Holder's receipt of copies of the supplemented or
             amended Prospectus provided for in clause (i) above, or until it is
             advised in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used,
             and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings
             that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such
             Prospectus.

The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the
Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (A) above, as promptly as is
practicable, (y) in the case of clause (B) above, as soon as, in the sole
judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be
prejudicial to or contrary to the interests of the Company or, if necessary to
avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as soon as practicable thereafter, and (z)
in the case of clause (C) above, as soon as, in the reasonable discretion of the
Company, such suspension is no longer appropriate. The Company shall be entitled
to exercise its right under this Section 3(h) to suspend the availability of any
Registration Statement or any Prospectus, without incurring or accruing any
obligation to pay liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(e) (the "DEFERRAL
PERIOD"); PROVIDED that the aggregate duration of any Deferral Periods shall not
exceed 30 days in any three month period (or 60 days in any three month period
in the event of a Material Event pursuant to which the Company has delivered a
second notice as required below) or 90 days in any twelve (12) month period;
PROVIDED that in the case of a Material Event relating to an acquisition or a
probable acquisition or financing, recapitalization, business combination or
other similar transaction, the Company may, without incurring any obligation to
pay liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(e), deliver to Notice Holders a
second notice to the effect set forth above, which shall have the effect of
extending the Deferral Period by up to an additional 30 days, or such shorter
period of time as is specified in such second notice.

                                       12

             (i)     If reasonably requested in writing in connection with a
     disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement,
     make reasonably available for inspection during normal business hours by a
     representative for the Notice Holders of such Registrable Securities, any
     broker-dealers, underwriters, attorneys and accountants retained by such
     Notice Holders, and any attorneys or other agents retained by a
     broker-dealer or underwriter engaged by such Notice Holders, all relevant
     financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents and
     properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the appropriate
     officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to
     make reasonably available for inspection during normal business hours on
     reasonable notice all relevant information reasonably requested by such
     representative for the Notice Holders, or any such broker-dealers,
     underwriters, attorneys or accountants in connection with such disposition,
     in each case as is customary for similar "due diligence" examinations;
     PROVIDED that such persons shall first agree in writing with the Company
     that any information that is reasonably designated by the Company as
     confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept
     confidential by such persons and shall be used solely for the purposes of
     exercising rights under this Agreement, unless (i) disclosure of such
     information is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to
     respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (ii) disclosure of such
     information is required by law (including any disclosure requirements
     pursuant to federal securities laws in connection with the filing of any
     Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus referred to in this
     Agreement), (iii) such information becomes generally available to the
     public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by
     any such person or (iv) such information becomes available to any such
     person from a source other than the Company and such source is not bound by
     a confidentiality agreement (any such agreement, a "CONFIDENTIALITY
     AGREEMENT"); and PROVIDED FURTHER that the foregoing inspection and
     information gathering shall, to the greatest extent possible, be
     coordinated on behalf of all the Notice Holders and the other parties
     entitled thereto by Special Counsel, if any, or another representative
     selected by a majority of Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders
     pursuant to such Registration Statement. Any person legally compelled or
     required by administrative or court order or by a regulatory authority to
     disclose any such confidential information made available for inspection
     shall provide the Company with prompt prior written notice of such
     requirement so that the Company may seek a protective order or other
     appropriate remedy.

             (j)     Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC
     and make generally available to its securityholders earning statements
     (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of
     the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated
     under the Securities Act) for a 12-month period commencing on the first day
     of the first fiscal quarter of the Company commencing after the effective
     date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall be made available
     no later than 45 days after the end of the 12-month period or 90 days if
     the 12-month period coincides with the fiscal year of the Company.

             (k)     Cooperate with each Notice Holder to facilitate the timely
     preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable
     Securities sold or to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, which
     certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends, and

                                       13
<Page>

     cause such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations as are
     permitted by the Indenture and registered in such names as such Notice
     Holder may request in writing at least two (2) Business Day prior to any
     sale of such Registrable Securities.

             (l)     Provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities
     covered by each Registration Statement not later than the effective date of
     such Registration Statement and, if requested, provide the Trustee and the
     transfer agent for the Common Stock with printed certificates for the
     Registrable Securities that are in a form eligible for deposit with The
     Depository Trust Company.

             (m)     Cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made
     with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

             (n)     In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement involving an
     underwritten offering, the Company shall enter into such customary
     agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in
     reasonably customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as
     Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or any
     managing underwriters shall reasonably request in order to facilitate any
     disposition of Notes and Underlying Common Stock pursuant to such Shelf
     Registration Statement, including, without limitation, (i) using its
     reasonable efforts to cause its counsel to deliver an opinion or opinions
     in reasonably customary form, (ii) using its reasonable efforts to cause
     its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and
     certificates and (iii) using its reasonable efforts to cause its
     independent public accountants to provide a comfort letter or letters in
     reasonably customary form.

             (o)     Upon (i) the filing of the Initial Shelf Registration
     Statement and (ii) the effectiveness of the Initial Shelf Registration
     Statement, announce the same, in each case by release to Reuters Economic
     Services and Bloomberg Business News.

                                       14

     SECTION 4. HOLDER'S OBLIGATIONS. Each Holder agrees, by acquisition of the
Registrable Securities, that no Holder shall be entitled to sell any of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a
Prospectus relating thereto unless such Holder has furnished the Company with a
Notice and Questionnaire as required pursuant to Section 2(d) hereof (including
the information required to be included in such Notice and Questionnaire) and
the information set forth in the next sentence. Each Notice Holder agrees
promptly to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in
order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Notice
Holder not misleading and any other information regarding such Notice Holder and
the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to
time reasonably request. Any sale of any Registrable Securities by any Holder
shall constitute a representation and warranty by such Holder that the
information relating to such Holder and its plan of distribution is as set forth
in the Prospectus delivered by such Holder in connection with such disposition,
that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale contain any untrue
statement of a material fact relating to or provided by such Holder or its plan
of distribution and that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale
omit to state any material fact relating to or provided by such Holder or its
plan of distribution necessary to make the statements in such Prospectus, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

     SECTION 5. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. The Company shall bear all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the performance by the Company of its
obligations under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement whether or not any
Registration Statement is declared effective. Such fees and expenses shall
include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including,
without limitation, fees and expenses (x) with respect to filings required to be
made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and (y) of
compliance with federal and state securities or Blue Sky laws (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of the Special Counsel, if
any, in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities
under the laws of such jurisdictions as Notice Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement may
designate), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of
printing, if requested, certificates for Registrable Securities in a form
eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company), (iii) duplication
expenses relating to copies of any Registration Statement or Prospectus
delivered to any Holders hereunder, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company in connection with any Registration Statement, (v) reasonable fees
and disbursements of the Trustee and its counsel and of the registrar and
transfer agent for the Common Stock and (vi) any Securities Act liability
insurance obtained by the Company in its sole discretion. In addition, the
Company shall pay the internal expenses of the Company (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and employees performing legal
or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the listing by the Company of the Registrable
Securities on any securities exchange on which similar securities of the Company
are then listed and the fees and expenses of any person, including special
experts, retained by the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
5, each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay selling expenses, including
any underwriting discount and commissions, all registration expenses to the
extent required by applicable law, and, except as otherwise provided herein,
fees and expenses of counsel to the Holders.

     SECTION 6. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

                                       15
<Page>

     (a)     INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Notice Holder, each person, if any, who controls any Notice
Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such
action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any amendment thereof,
any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), caused by
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any
such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based
upon information relating to any Holder furnished to the Company in writing by
such Holder expressly for use therein; PROVIDED that the indemnification
contained in this paragraph shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder (or to
the benefit of any person controlling such Holder) on account of any such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary
prospectus if either (A) (i) such Holder failed to send or deliver a copy of the
Prospectus with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by
such Holder to the person asserting the claim from which such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arise and (ii) the Prospectus would have corrected such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged
omission, or (B) (x) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, omission
or alleged omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus
and (y) having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with
copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, such Holder thereafter
fails to deliver such Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, with or prior to
the delivery of written confirmation of the sale of a Registrable Security to
the person asserting the claim from which such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arise. In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to
Section 8, the Company will also indemnify the underwriters, if any, their
officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters (within
the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as
provided herein with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested
in connection with any Registration Statement.

     (b)     INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS. Each Holder agrees severally and not
jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, its
officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company (within the meaning
of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) or
any other Holder, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company
to such Holder, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder
furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no
event shall the liability of any Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the
dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to
such indemnification obligation. In connection with any underwritten offering
pursuant to Section 8, each Holder will also indemnify the underwriters, if any,
their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters
(within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same
extent as provided herein with respect to the indemnification of the Company, if
requested in connection with any Registration Statement.

                                       16
<Page>

     (c)     CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. In case any proceeding
(including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any
person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 6(a) or
6(b) hereof, such person (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall promptly notify the
person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in
writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall
retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the
indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel
related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall
have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the
retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It
is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal
expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such
indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by, in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a), the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement held by Holders
that are indemnified parties pursuant to Section 6(a) and, in the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b), the Company. The indemnifying
party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final,
non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at
any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to
reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as
contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified
party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.

     (d)     CONTRIBUTION. To the extent that the indemnification provided for
in Section 6(a) or 6(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein,
then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnified party or parties on the other hand or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion

                                       17
<Page>

as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in
clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or
parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other
hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to
be equal to the total net proceeds from the initial sale of the Notes pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement (before deducting expenses) of the Registrable
Securities to which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities relate. The
relative benefits received by any Holder shall be deemed to be equal to the
value of receiving Registrable Securities that are registered under the
Securities Act. The relative fault of the Holders on the one hand and the
Company on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Holders or by the Company, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Holders' respective obligations to contribute
pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective number of
Registrable Securities they have sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, and
not joint.

     The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by PRO RATA
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding this Section 6, no indemnifying party that is a selling Holder
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Registrable Securities sold by it and distributed to
the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that
such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.

     (e)     The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an
indemnified party at law or in equity, hereunder, under the Purchase Agreement
or otherwise.

     (f)     The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this
Section 6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf
of any Holder, any person controlling any Holder or any affiliate of any Holder
or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person
controlling the Company and (iii) the sale of any Registrable Securities by any
Holder.

     SECTION 7. INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS. The Company covenants that, if at any
time before the end of the Effectiveness Period the Company is not subject to
the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it will cooperate with any
Holder and take such further

                                       18
<Page>

reasonable action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing (including,
without limitation, making such reasonable representations as any such Holder
may reasonably request), all to the extent required from time to time to enable
such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and
Rule 144A under the Securities Act and customarily taken in connection with
sales pursuant to such exemptions. Upon the written request of any Holder, the
Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such filing requirements, unless such a statement has been
included in the Company's most recent report filed pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its
securities (other than the Common Stock) under any section of the Exchange Act.

     SECTION 8. UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. The Holders of Registrable
Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may
sell such Registrable Securities to an underwriter in an underwritten offering
for reoffering to the public. If any of the Registrable Securities covered by
any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the
investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will
administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority of such
Registrable Securities included in such offering, subject to the consent of the
Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and,
notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, such Holders shall be
responsible for all underwriting commissions and discounts and any transfer
taxes in connection therewith. No person may participate in any underwritten
registration hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's
Registrable Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such
arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

     SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS.

     (a)     NO CONFLICTING AGREEMENTS. The Company is not, as of the date
hereof, a party to, nor shall it, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter
into, any agreement with respect to its securities that conflicts with the
rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. The Company represents and
warrants that the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way
conflict with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities
under any other agreements.

     (b)     AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement, including
the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be
given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a
majority of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or
consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that
relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly
affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to
such Registration Statement; PROVIDED that the provisions of this sentence may
not be amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the
provisions of the

                                       19
<Page>

immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be amended by written agreement signed by the Company and Morgan Stanley &
Co. Incorporated, on behalf of itself and the other Initial Purchasers, without
the consent of the Holders of Registrable Securities, to cure any ambiguity or
to correct or supplement any provision contained herein that may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision contained herein, or to make such other
provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that
shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Registrable
Securities. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any
such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent or thereafter shall
be bound by any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent
effected pursuant to this Section 9(b), whether or not any notice, writing or
marking indicating such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent
appears on the Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder.

     (c)     NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, by telecopier, by
courier guaranteeing overnight delivery or by first-class mail, return receipt
requested, and shall be deemed given (i) when made, if made by hand delivery,

or to such other address as such person may have furnished to the other persons
identified in this Section 9(c) in writing in accordance herewith.

     (d)     APPROVAL OF HOLDERS. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of
a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder,
Registrable Securities held by the Company or its affiliates (as such term is
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (other than the Initial Purchasers
or subsequent Holders if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be such
affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Registrable Securities)
shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given
by the Holders of such required percentage.

     (e)     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Any person who purchases any Registrable
Securities from the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed, for purposes of this
Agreement, to be an assignee of the Initial Purchasers. This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each
of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each Holder
of any Registrable Securities, PROVIDED that nothing herein shall be deemed to
permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities
in violation of the terms of the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder
shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law
or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the
terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities,
such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to
perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such person shall
be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

     (f)     COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be original and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     (g)     HEADINGS. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

     (h)     GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     (i)     SEVERABILITY. If any term provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated thereby, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges
of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     (j)     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a
final expression of their agreement and is intended to be a complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement and

                                       21
<Page>

understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained
herein and the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the
Registrable Securities. Except as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the
Indenture and the Notes, there are no restrictions, promises, warranties or
undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein, with respect to
the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the Registrable
Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings
among the parties with respect to such registration rights. No party hereto
shall have any rights, duties or obligations other than those specifically set
forth in this Agreement, the Indenture and the Notes.

     (k)     TERMINATION. This Agreement and the obligations of the parties
hereunder shall terminate upon the end of the Effectiveness Period, except for
any liabilities or obligations under Section 4, 5 or 6 hereof and the
obligations to make payments of and provide for liquidated damages under Section
2(e) hereof to the extent such damages accrue prior to the end of the
Effectiveness Period, each of which shall remain in effect in accordance with
its terms.
