                                                       If MSCO suspends the Calculation Period pursuant to this

                                                       suspension, if it is practical to do so. Otherwise, and in all

                                                       Event" above, the Calculation Agent shall make such adjustments
                                                       promptly following the period of suspension.

PROCEDURE FOR DELIVERY OF SHARES:


Delivery of Refund Shares:                             If Issuer elects for MSCO to satisfy its payment obligation
                                                       of the Settlement Amount by delivering Refund Shares, then on
                                                       the Valuation Date, a Settlement Balance shall be established
                                                       with an initial balance equal to the Settlement Amount. On a
                                                       Trading Day after the Settlement Date chosen by MSCO in good
                                                       faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, MSCO shall
                                                       commence purchasing Shares for delivery to Issuer (such
                                                       Shares, "Refund Shares") which transactions shall be in

                                                       end of each Trading Day on which MSCO purchases Refund
                                                       Shares, MSCO shall reduce the Settlement Balance by the
                                                       aggregate market value of the Shares purchased on such
                                                       Trading Day.  MSCO shall deliver the Refund Shares for each
                                                       Trading Day to Issuer on the third Exchange Business Day
                                                       after the relevant Trading Day.  MSCO shall continue
                                                       purchasing Refund Shares (in compliance with Rule 10b-18
                                                       under the Exchange Act) until the Settlement Balance has been
                                                       reduced to zero.

                                                       Settlement Balance, then MSCO shall promptly return the
                                                       remaining Payment Shares and/or Make-Whole Payment Shares to

provided, however, that if Issuer declares a quarterly cash dividend that has an
ex-dividend date that is different than February 3, May 3, August 3 or November
3, then such different date shall be an Ex-Dividend Date; provided, further,
that if Issuer has not declared a quarterly cash dividend in the relevant
quarter, then one of February 3, May 3, August 3 or November 3, whichever date
falls within the quarter in question, shall be deemed an Ex-Dividend Date for
the purposes of this Transaction.

         (ii) Any cash dividend declared by the issuer that either (A) is not a
regularly scheduled quarterly cash dividend or (B) is a regularly scheduled
quarterly cash dividend that exceeds $0.09 per Share shall constitute an
Additional Termination Event with this Transaction as the only "Affected
Transaction" and Issuer as the sole Affected Party.

         (b) For the avoidance of doubt, this Transaction shall be deemed to be
a "Share Forward Transaction" for purposes of the Equity Definitions.

         (c) The Issuer may elect in its sole discretion to terminate this
Transaction ("Optional Termination") at any time upon at least two Scheduled
Trading Days' notice to MSCO specifying the date of such termination, in which
event the Transaction will terminate and the Optional Termination shall
constitute an Additional Termination Event with this Transaction as the only
"Affected Transaction" and, notwithstanding Section 6(b) of the Agreement, the
Early Termination Date being the effective date of the notice delivered by
Issuer pursuant to this section 5(c). For purposes of Section 6(e) of the
Agreement, MSCO shall be the sole Affected Party.

6.  Conditions to Delivery of Payment Shares.

Issuer may only deliver Payment Shares and Make-Whole Shares subject to
satisfaction of the following conditions:

         (a) If Issuer timely elects to deliver Payment Shares and Make-Whole
Shares (the "Settlement Shares") by means of a registered offering, the
following provisions shall apply:

                  (i) On the later of (A) the Trading Day following the Issuer's
         election to deliver Payment Shares and any Make-Whole Shares by means
         of a registered offering (the "REGISTRATION NOTICE DATE"), and (B) the
         date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the
         SEC (the "REGISTERED SHARE DELIVERY DATE"), the Issuer shall deliver to
         MSCO the Payment Shares on the Trading Day immediately prior to the
         applicable Registered Share Delivery Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
         the Registered Share Delivery Date shall be deemed to be the Settlement
         Date if this Section 6(a) shall apply.

                  (ii) Promptly following the Registration Notice Date, the
         Issuer shall file with the SEC a registration statement ("REGISTRATION
         STATEMENT") covering the public resale by MSCO of the Payment Shares
         and any Make-Whole Shares (collectively, the "REGISTERED SECURITIES")
         on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 (or any similar
         or successor rule), if available, under the Securities Act; provided
         that no such filing shall be required pursuant to this paragraph (ii)
         if the Issuer shall have filed a similar registration statement with
         unused capacity at least equal to the Settlement Amount and such
         registration statement has been declared by the SEC on or prior to the
         Registration Notice Date and no stop order is in effect with respect to
         such registration statement as of the Registration Notice Date. The
         Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Registration
         Statement declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible. MSCO
         shall provide, by a reasonable time in advance, such information
         regarding MSCO and its affiliates as shall be required or reasonably
         requested by Issuer in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

                  (iii) Promptly following the Registration Notice Date, and
         provided that Morgan Stanley shall execute and delivery an appropriate
         confidentiality agreement that is reasonably satisfactory to the

         Issuer, the Issuer shall afford MSCO a reasonable opportunity to
         conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to the Issuer
         customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities
         (including, without limitation, the availability of senior management
         to respond to questions regarding the business and financial condition
         of the Issuer and the right to have made available to MSCO for
         inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
         documents and other information reasonably requested by MSCO), and MSCO
         shall be reasonably satisfied in all material respects with the results
         of such due diligence investigation of the Issuer. For the avoidance of
         doubt, the Issuer shall not have the right to deliver Shares pursuant
         to Section 6(a)(i) above (and the conditions to delivery of Payment
         Shares specified in this Section 6 shall not be satisfied) until MSCO
         is satisfied in all material respects with the results of such due
         diligence investigation of the Issuer.

                  (iv) From, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
         until all Registered Securities have been sold by MSCO (but in no
         event, for more than two years from the date of this Confirmation), the
         Issuer shall, at the request of MSCO, make available to MSCO a printed
         prospectus relating to the Registered Securities in form and substance
         (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of
         distribution) reasonably satisfactory to MSCO (a "PROSPECTUS", which
         term shall include any prospectus supplement thereto), in such
         quantities as Morgan shall reasonably request.


                  (v) The Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to
         prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
         the Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the
         use of any Prospectus and, if any such order is issued, to obtain the
         lifting thereof as soon thereafter as is possible. If the Issuer
         concludes that the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any
         document incorporated therein by reference contains a misstatement of a
         material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
         therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading, the
         Issuer shall as promptly as practicable file any required document and
         prepare and furnish to MSCO a reasonable number of copies of such
         supplement or amendment thereto as may be necessary so that the
         Prospectus, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registered
         Securities will not contain a misstatement of a material fact or omit
         to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make any statement therein not misleading; provided, that the Issuer
         may suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and use of
         the Prospectus by written notice to MSCO for such periods as it deems
         necessary or appropriate, in its good faith judgment (each such period,
         a "Suspension Period") if an event occurs and is continuing as a result
         of which the Registration Statement may, in the Issuer's good faith
         judgment, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
         state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading, or if the board of
         directors of the Issuer determines in good faith that a Suspension
         Period is in the best interests of the Issuer.

                  (vi) On or prior to the Registered Share Delivery Date, the
         Issuer shall enter into an agreement (a "TRANSFER AGREEMENT") with MSCO
         (or any affiliate of MSCO designated by MSCO) in connection with the
         public resale of the Registered Securities, substantially similar to
         underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity
         securities, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to MSCO (or
         such affiliate), which Transfer Agreement shall (without limitation of
         the foregoing):

                           (A) contain provisions substantially similar to those
                  contained in such underwriting agreements relating to the
                  indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the
                  liability of, MSCO and its affiliates,

                           (B) provide for delivery to MSCO (or such affiliate)
                  of customary opinions (including, without limitation,
                  accounting comfort letters, opinions or beliefs relating to
                  the due authorization, valid issuance and fully paid and
                  non-assessable nature of the Registered Securities and the
                  lack of material misstatements and omissions in the
                  Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Issuer's
                  filings under the Exchange Act); and

                           (C) provide for the payment by the Issuer of all fees
                  and expenses in connection with such resale customarily borne
                  by an issuer, including all registration costs and all
                  reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for MSCO (or such
                  affiliate), excluding underwriting or brokerage discounts and
                  commissions.

                  (vii) If the number of Shares covered by the Registration
         Statement is less than the number of Registered Securities required to
         be delivered pursuant to this Section 6(a) and the provisions of
         "Delivery of Payment Shares" in Section 2 above, the Issuer shall, at
         the request of MSCO, file additional registration statement(s) to
         register the sale of all Registered Securities required to be delivered
         to MSCO.

                  (viii) The Issuer shall cooperate with MSCO and use its
         reasonable best efforts to take any other action necessary to effect
         the intent of the provisions set forth in this Section 6(a).

         (b) If Issuer timely elects to deliver Settlement Shares by means of a
private placement, the following provisions shall apply:


                      (i) all Settlement Shares shall be delivered to MSCO (or
         any affiliate of MSCO designated by MSCO) pursuant to the exemption
         from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by
         Section 4(2) thereof;

                      (ii) MSCO and any potential purchaser of any such shares
         from MSCO (or any affiliate of MSCO designated by MSCO) identified by
         MSCO shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due
         diligence investigation with respect to Issuer customary in scope for
         private placements of equity securities (including, without limitation,
         the right to have made available to them for inspection all financial
         and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information
         reasonably requested by them), and Issuer shall not disclose material
         non-public information in connection with such due diligence
         investigation; and

                      (iii) an agreement (a "PRIVATE PLACEMENT AGREEMENT") shall
         have been entered into between Issuer and MSCO (or any affiliate of
         MSCO designated by MSCO) in connection with the private placement of
         such Settlement Shares by Issuer to MSCO (or any such affiliate) and
         the private resale of such shares by MSCO (or any such affiliate),
         substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements
         customary for private placements of equity securities, in form and
         substance reasonably satisfactory to MSCO and the Issuer, which Private
         Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions
         substantially similar to those contained in such private placement
         purchase agreements relating to the eligibility of the placement of
         such Settlement Shares for an exemption from registration under the
         Securities Act, including, without limitation, appropriate
         representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of MSCO, the
         indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability
         of, MSCO and its affiliates, and shall provide for the payment by
         Issuer of all fees and expenses in connection with such resale,
         including all reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for MSCO but
         not including any underwriter or broker discounts and commissions, and
         shall contain representations, warranties and agreements of Issuer and
         MSCO reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the
         availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the
         Securities Act for such resales.

                      (iv) If Issuer elects to deliver Payment Shares to satisfy
         its payment obligation of the Settlement Amount, neither Issuer nor
         MSCO shall take or cause to be taken any action that would make
         unavailable either (i) the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the
         Securities Act for the sale of any Payment Shares or Make-Whole Payment
         Shares by Issuer to MSCO or (ii) an exemption from the registration
         requirements of the Securities Act reasonably acceptable to MSCO for
         resale of Settlement Shares by MSCO.

Reference Number:               Account Number:                          Page 12


            (c) The provisions of Section 6(b) shall apply to any then-current
Settlement Balance if (i) on any given day, Issuer cannot satisfy any of the
conditions of Section 6(a) or (ii) for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive
Exchange Business Days, MSCO has been reasonably advised by its counsel that it
is inadvisable to effect sales of Registered Securities.

            (d) If the Settlement Amount is less than zero and Issuer elects to
deliver Payment Shares to satisfy its payment obligation of the Settlement
Amount, then, if necessary, Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to be
increased to an amount sufficient to permit Issuer to fulfill its obligations
"Delivery of Payment Shares" above.

            (e) If Issuer elects to deliver Settlement Shares, MSCO agrees to
uses commercially reasonable efforts to effect sales of such Shares pursuant to
a registered offering or private placement, as applicable, pursuant to Section
6(a) or 6(b) at commercially reasonable prices in light of the market conditions
and circumstances of Issuer at the time of such sale.

            (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Issuer shall have the right cancel its election to satisfy its payment
obligation of the Settlement Amount (or the then remaining balance thereof) by
delivering Payment Shares or Make-Whole Payment Shares at any time before the
Settlement Balance has been reduced to zero (such right, the "Issuer Settlement
Cancellation Right") by delivering notice to MSCO on any Scheduled Trading Day.
If Issuer exercises the Issuer Settlement Cancellation Right, (i) MSCO shall
sell any Payment Shares or Make-Whole Payment Shares (if any) that it has an
obligation to sell as of the time of receiving notice of Issuer's exercise of
its Issuer Settlement Cancellation Right, (ii) MSCO shall reduce the Settlement
Balance by the amount realized in such sale of such Payment Shares or Make-Whole
Payment Shares and (iii) Issuer shall make a cash payment to MSCO in an amount
equal to remaining Settlement Balance.


7. Certain Payments and Deliveries by MSCO. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, or in the Equity Definitions, if at any time:

         (i) an Early Termination Date occurs and MSCO would be required to make
         a payment pursuant to Sections 6(d) and 6(e) of the Agreement,

         (ii) a Tender Offer occurs and MSCO would be required to make a payment
         pursuant to Sections 12.3 and 12.7 of the Equity Definitions,

         (iii) a Merger Event occurs and MSCO would be required to make a
         payment pursuant to Sections 12.2 and 12.7 of the Equity Definitions,

         (iv) an Additional Disruption Event occurs and MSCO would be required
         to make a payment pursuant to Sections 12.8 and 12.9 of the Equity
         Definitions, or

         (v) a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting occurs and MSCO would
         be required to make a payment pursuant to Section 12.6 of the Equity
         Definitions,


then in lieu of such payment, MSCO shall deliver to Issuer, at the time such
payment would have been due and in the manner provided under "Physical
Settlement" in the Equity Definitions, a number of Shares (or, in the case of a
Merger Event, common equity securities of the surviving entity) equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (A) the amount that would have been so payable by
(B) the fair market value per Share (or per unit of such common equity security)
of the Shares (or units) so delivered, as determined by the Calculation Agent in
a commercially reasonable manner. The Calculation Agent hereby agrees to provide
the parties with a reasonably detailed statement of its calculation hereunder.

8. Certain Payments and Deliveries by Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, or in the Equity Definitions, if at any time:

         (i) an Early Termination Date occurs and Issuer would be required to
         make a payment pursuant to Sections 6(d) and 6(e) of the Agreement,

         (ii) a Tender Offer occurs and Issuer would be required to make a
         payment pursuant to Sections 12.3 and 12.7 of the Equity Definitions,

         (iii) a Merger Event occurs and Issuer would be required to make a
         payment pursuant to Sections 12.2 and 12.7 of the Equity Definitions,

         (iv) an Additional Disruption Event occurs and Issuer would be required
         to make a payment pursuant to Sections 12.8 and 12.9 of the Equity
         Definitions, or

         (v) a Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting occurs and Issuer would
         be required to make a payment pursuant to Section 12.6 of the Equity
         Definitions (any such payment described in Sections 8(i), (ii), (iii),
         (iv) or (v) above, an "Early Settlement Payment"),


then Issuer shall have the option, in lieu of making such cash payment, to
settle its payment obligations under Sections 8(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v)
above in Shares (such Shares, the "Early Settlement Shares"). The provisions of
"Delivery of Payment Shares" in Section 2 above shall apply to the delivery of
Early Settlement Shares as if the relevant Early Settlement Amount was the
"Settlement Amount" and the Early Settlement Shares were "Payment Shares." In
order to elect to deliver Early Settlement Shares, (i) Issuer must notify MSCO
of its election by no later than 4 p.m. on the date that is three Exchange
Business Days before the date that the Early Settlement Payment is due, (ii)
must specify whether such Early Settlement Shares are to be sold by means of a
registered offering or by means of a private placement and (iii) the conditions
described in Section 6 above must be satisfied as if the Early Settlement Shares
were "Payment Shares" and any additional Shares Issuer delivers to reduce the
settlement balance to zero in connection with this Section 8 were "Make-Whole
Payment Shares".

9. Special Provisions for Merger Events. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in the Equity Definitions, to the extent that an Announcement
Date for a potential Merger Transaction occurs during the term of this
Transaction and such Announcement Date does not cause this Transaction to
terminate in whole under the provisions of "Extraordinary Event" in paragraph 2
above:

         (a) As soon as practicable following the public announcement of such
potential Merger Transaction, Issuer shall provide MSCO with written notice of
such announcement;

         (b) Promptly after request from MSCO, Issuer shall provide MSCO with
written notice specifying (i) Issuer's average daily Rule 10b-18 Purchases (as
defined in Rule 10b-18) during the three full calendar months immediately
preceding the Announcement Date that were not effected through MSCO or its
affiliates and (ii) the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the proviso in
Rule 10b-18(b)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") for the three full calendar months preceding the Announcement
Date. Such written notice shall be deemed to be a certification by Issuer to
MSCO that such information is true and correct. Issuer understands that MSCO
will use this information in calculating the trading volume for purposes of Rule
10b-18; and

         (c) MSCO in its good faith commercially reasonable judgment may extend
the Calculation Period to account for any reduction in the number of Shares that
could be purchased on each day during the Calculation Period in compliance with
Rule 10b-18 following the Announcement Date.

      "Merger Transaction" means any merger, acquisition or similar transaction
involving a recapitalization of Issuer as contemplated by Rule 10b-18(a)(13)(iv)
under the Exchange Act.

10. MSCO Adjustments. In the event that MSCO reasonably determines in good faith
that it is appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory
requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such
requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily
adopted by MSCO, and including, without limitation, Rule 10b-18, Rule 10b-5,
Regulation M and Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act, collectively, the
"Requirements"), for MSCO to refrain from purchasing Shares or to purchase fewer
than the number of Shares MSCO would otherwise purchase on any Trading Day
during the duration of this Transaction, then MSCO may determine that the
Calculation Period be suspended and, if appropriate, extended with regard to any
Requirements. MSCO shall notify the Issuer upon the exercise of MSCO's rights
pursuant to this Section 10 and shall subsequently notify the Issuer on the day
MSCO reasonably believes that the circumstances giving rise to such exercise
have changed; provided, however, that MSCO's notice shall not specify, and MSCO
shall not otherwise communicate to the Issuer, the reason for MSCO's election to
suspend the Calculation Period. If the Calculation Period is suspended pursuant
to this Section 10, at the end of such suspension MSCO shall determine the
number of Trading Days remaining in the Calculation Period, as appropriate, and
the terms of this Transaction shall be equitably adjusted as set forth above
under "Physical Settlement."

11.  Covenants.

(a) The Issuer covenants and agrees:

              (i)(a) that it will not treat this Transaction, any portion
hereof, or any obligation hereunder as giving rise to any interest income or
other inclusions of ordinary income; (b) it will not treat the delivery of any
portion of the Shares or cash to be delivered pursuant to this Transaction as
the payment of interest or ordinary income; (c) it will treat this Transaction
in its entirety as a forward contract for the delivery of such Shares or cash;
and (d) it will not take any action (including filing any tax return or form or
taking any position in any tax proceeding) that is inconsistent with the
obligations contained in (a) through (c). Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, Issuer may take any action or position required by law, provided that
Issuer delivers to MSCO an opinion of counsel, nationally recognized as expert
in Federal tax matters and acceptable to Issuer, to that effect;

              (ii) that during the term of this Confirmation, neither it nor any
of its affiliates (other than affiliates which do not constitute "affiliated
purchasers" within the meaning of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act) shall
directly or indirectly (which shall be deemed to include the writing or purchase
of any cash-settled derivative instrument) purchase Shares (or any security
convertible into or exchangeable for Shares) without the prior written approval
of MSCO (except for any purchases which do not constitute "Rule 10b-18
purchases" within the meaning of the Exchange Act), which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, or take any other action that would cause the
purchase by MSCO of any Shares in connection with this Confirmation not to
comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act (assuming for the purposes of
this paragraph that such Rule were otherwise applicable to such purchases);

              (iii) to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to
it (including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Confirmation;

              (iv) that it is not relying, and has not relied, upon MSCO or any
of its representatives or advisors with respect to the legal, accounting, tax or
other implications of this Confirmation and that it has conducted its own
analyses of the legal, accounting, tax and other implications of this
Confirmation. Issuer understands and acknowledges that MSCO and its affiliates
may from time to time effect transactions for their own account or the account
of customers and hold positions in securities or options on securities of the
Issuer and that MSCO and its affiliates may continue to conduct such
transactions during the term of this Confirmation, to the extent permitted by
applicable law or regulation; and

Reference Number:                Account Number:                         Page 15

      (v) that if at any time the Issuer concludes that either it or any of its
affiliates will be taking any action that would cause Regulation M under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Regulation M"), to be applicable
to any purchases of Shares, during the Calculation Period , including any
offering by the Issuer or any of its affiliates of securities for which the
Issuer's common stock would constitute a "covered security" for purposes of
Regulation M (which may include an offering of shares of Common Stock (or a
security convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for such shares or for
which the Shares are a reference security (as defined in Regulation M)), then
the Issuer agrees that it will, on not less than one Scheduled Trading Day's
written notice, direct MSCO not to purchase Shares in connection with this
Confirmation during the anticipated "restricted period" (as defined in
Regulation M) of such an offering (the "Suspension Period"); provided, that the
parties agree that such Suspension Period may, at the Issuer's direction,
include a period of up to ten days prior and five days subsequent to such
Suspension Period upon notice from the Issuer that the representations in
Section 12(a)(i) and Section 12(a)(ii) are accurate and complete as of such
date; and provided further, that MSCO shall keep any notice hereunder from the
Issuer confidential. If on any Scheduled Trading Day Issuer delivers such
written notice (and confirms by telephone) by 8:30 a.m. New York Time (the
"Notification Time"), then such notice shall be effective to suspend the
Calculation Period as of such Notification Time. In the event that Issuer
delivers notice and/or confirms by telephone after the Notification Time, then
the Calculation Period shall be suspended effective as of 8:30 a.m. New York
Time on the following Scheduled Trading Day or as otherwise required by law or
agreed between Issuer and MSCO. The Calculation Period shall be suspended in
accordance with, and MSCO shall have all of the rights under, Section 10 of this
Confirmation, including (for the avoidance of doubt), but not limited to, the
right to treat any suspension of the Calculation Period as a Potential
Adjustment Event subject to Calculation Agent Adjustment.

(b) MSCO covenants and agrees:

      (i) with respect to the purchase of any Shares in connection with this
Confirmation to make any such purchase in a manner that, based on the
representations and warranties set forth herein and any other information
provided to MSCO by Issuer, would meet the requirements of the safe harbor under
the provisions of Rule 10b-18 as if such purchases were made by Issuer;
provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that MSCO will not be
obligated to comply with this paragraph if an Extraordinary Event or an
Additional Termination Event occurs that, in any such case, an Early Termination
Date occurs with respect to any portion of this Transaction; and

      (ii) MSCO will comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to
it (including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Confirmation.

      (iii) MSCO will ensure that any employee of MSCO or any affiliate or agent
who is involved, directly or indirectly, in executing any purchases and sales of
Shares in connection with this Confirmation (the "Trading Employees") will not
communicate, directly or indirectly, with any employee or representative of the
Issuer at any time while this Confirmation is in effect, except for the required
Daily Reports.

      (iv) MSCO agrees that it shall maintain reasonable policies and
procedures, taking into consideration the nature of its business, to ensure that
Trading Employees shall not be in possession of any material nonpublic
information regarding the Issuer or the Shares at all relevant times beginning
the date hereof through and including the Valuation Date.

12. Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgments.

(a) Issuer hereby represents and warrants to MSCO that:

          (i) as of the date hereof, Issuer (A) is not in possession of any

of this Confirmation;

          (ii) the transactions contemplated by this Confirmation have been duly
authorized by the board of directors of Issuer;

          (iii) Issuer is not entering into this Confirmation to facilitate a

transactions contemplated hereby will be, Solvent. As used in this paragraph,
the term "Solvent" means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date
(A) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets
of Issuer is not less than the total amount required to pay the liabilities of
Issuer on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities) as they become absolute and matured, (B) Issuer is able to realize
upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations
and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business,

Confirmation, Issuer is not incurring debts or liabilities beyond its ability to
pay as such debts and liabilities mature, (D) Issuer is not engaged in any
business or transaction, and does not propose to engage in any business or

after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in
which the Issuer is engaged and (E) Issuer is not a defendant in any civil
action that could reasonably be expected to result in a judgment that Issuer is

501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and a "qualified institutional
buyer" as that term is defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act as of
the date of this Confirmation and was not organized for the specific purpose of
acquiring the Securities;

      (ii) With respect to any Payment Shares or Make-Whole Shares
(collectively, the "Settlement Shares"), MSCO would acquire such shares for its
own account and not with a view to or for distribution in a manner that would
violate the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the
representations herein, MSCO does not agree to hold any such Shares for any
minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares
at any time (including pursuant to a registered offering, if effected pursuant
hereto); provided, further, that such disposition shall be in accordance with or
pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act;

      (iii) MSCO acknowledges that it (A) has been furnished with or has had
full access to all of the information that it considers necessary or appropriate
for deciding whether to purchase the Settlement Shares, (B) has had an
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Issuer regarding the

evaluate its investment, (D) can bear the economic risk of a total loss of its
investment in the Settlement Shares and (E) has such knowledge and experience in
business and financial matters so as to enable it to understand the risks of and
form an investment decision with respect to its investment in the Settlement
Shares; provided, however, that the representation made by MSCO in this Section
12(b)(iii) shall not have any effect on whether

Reference Number:                Account Number:                         Page 17

Issuer has satisfied the conditions listed in Section 6(a)(iii) or Section
6(b)(iii) if Issuer elects to settle its payment obligation of the Settlement
Amount by delivering Payment Shares or Make-Whole Payment Shares (if any).
Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by
Seller or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall limit, modify,
amend or affect the Issuer's representations and warranties contained in this
Confirmation and Seller's right to rely thereon;

      (iv) Except to the extent any Settlement Shares are registered for resale
as contemplated hereby, MSCO understands that the Settlement Shares would be
offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the
Issuer is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and MSCO's compliance with,
the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, acknowledgments and
understandings of MSCO set forth herein in order to determine the availability
of such exemptions and the eligibility of MSCO to acquire the Settlement Shares;

      (v) MSCO is not entering into this Confirmation to facilitate a
distribution of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for
Shares) in a manner that would violate the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or
in connection with a future issuance of securities;

      (vi) MSCO is not entering into this Confirmation in order to create actual
or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or
exchangeable for Shares) or to raise or depress the price of the Shares (or any
security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares); however, as a result of
entering into this Confirmation, MSCO may engage in significant purchase
activity in the Shares;

      (vii) MSCO has implemented reasonable policies and procedures, taking into
consideration the nature of its business, to ensure that individuals making
investment decisions would not violate laws prohibiting trading on the basis of
material nonpublic information. Such individuals shall not be in possession of
material nonpublic information at all relevant times beginning the date hereof
through and including the Valuation Date.

      (viii) MSCO is as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated hereby will be, Solvent. As used in this paragraph,
the term "Solvent" means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date
(A) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets
of MSCO is not less than the total amount required to pay the liabilities of
MSCO on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities) as they become absolute and matured, (B) MSCO is able to realize
upon its assets and pay its debts and other liabilities, contingent obligations
and commitments as they mature and become due in the normal course of business,
(C) assuming consummation of the transactions as contemplated by this
Confirmation, MSCO is not incurring debts or liabilities beyond its ability to
pay as such debts and liabilities mature, (D) MSCO is not engaged in any
business or transaction, and does not propose to engage in any business or
transaction, for which its property would constitute unreasonably small capital
after giving due consideration to the prevailing practice in the industry in
which MSCO is engaged and (E) MSCO is not a defendant in any civil action that
could reasonably be expected to result in a judgment that MSCO is or would
become unable to satisfy.

(c) MSCO and Issuer each hereby acknowledges that any transactions by MSCO in
the Shares will be undertaken by MSCO, as the case may be, as principal for its
own account. All of the actions to be taken by MSCO in connection with this
Confirmation, shall be taken by MSCO independently and without any advance or
subsequent consultation with the Issuer.

13. Acknowledgements of Issuer Regarding Hedging and Market Activity.

                        (i) MSCO and its affiliates also may be active in the
                  market for the Shares other than in connection with trading
                  activities in relation to the transactions contemplated by
                  this Confirmation; and

                        (ii) any market activities of MSCO and its affiliates
                  with respect to the Shares may affect the market price and
                  volatility of the Shares, as well as the 10b-18 VWAP, each in
                  a manner that may be adverse to Issuer; provided, that in
                  connection with the trading activities contemplated by this
                  Confirmation, MSCO shall use commercially reasonable efforts
                  to minimize impact on the market price of the Shares; however,
                  as a result of entering into this Confirmation, MSCO may
                  engage in significant purchase activity in the Shares.

14. Indemnification.

      (a) Issuer will indemnify and hold MSCO harmless against any losses,
claims, damages, expenses or liabilities to which it may become subject in
connection with any matter referred to in this Confirmation, except to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability results from (i)
the negligence, intentional misconduct or bad faith of MSCO in effecting the
transactions which are the subject of this Confirmation; (ii) MSCO's breach of
any covenant under this Confirmation; or (iii) the purchase of any Shares in
connection with this Confirmation unless the loss, claim, damage or liability in
connection therewith results from Issuer's breach of this Confirmation. The
indemnity obligations of Issuer under this Section 14 shall be in addition to
any liability which Issuer may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms
and conditions to any affiliate of MSCO and the partners, directors, officers,
agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of MSCO
and any such affiliate and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any
successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of Issuer, MSCO, any
such affiliate and any such person. The foregoing provisions shall survive any
termination or completion of this Confirmation. For the purposes of this Section
14, the term "MSCO" shall include MSCO and its affiliates.

      (b) Subject to Section 14(c), the indemnity obligations of Issuer under
Section 14(a) (each, an "OBLIGATION") shall be paid in cash.

      (c) In connection with any Obligation, Issuer may elect to satisfy such
Obligation by delivering Shares to MSCO (such Shares, the "Indemnity Shares") by
notifying MSCO of such election within one Trading Day of being informed by MSCO
that such Obligation is due and payable. The provisions of "Delivery of Payment
Shares" in Section 2 above shall apply to such a share settlement of an
Obligation as if the relevant Obligation was the "Settlement Amount" and the
Indemnity Shares were "Payment Shares." In order to elect to deliver Indemnity
Shares, Issuer must (i) specify whether such Indemnity Shares are to be sold by
means of a registered offering or by means of a private placement and (ii) the
conditions described in Section 6 above must be satisfied as if the Indemnity
Shares were "Payment Shares" and any additional Shares Issuer delivers to reduce
the settlement balance to zero in connection with this Section 8 were
"Make-Whole Payment Shares".

15. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that MSCO is a "financial
participant" within the meaning of Section 101(22) of Title 11 of the United
States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). The parties hereto further agree and
acknowledge that this Transaction is either (i) a "securities contract" as such
term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, in which case each
payment and delivery made pursuant to this Transaction is a "settlement
payment", as such term is defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, and
that MSCO is entitled to the protections afforded by, among other sections,
Sections 362(b)(6), 546(e) and 555 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (ii) a "swap
agreement", as such term is defined in Section 101(53B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
in which case each party is a "swap participant", as such term is defined in
Section 101(53C) of the Bankruptcy Code, and that MSCO is entitled to the
protections afforded by, among other sections, Sections 362(b)(17), 546(g) and
560 of the Bankruptcy Code.

16. Except as required by law or judicial or administrative process, or as
requested by a regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization, each party
hereto agrees to keep this Confirmation, and the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby confidential. In the event disclosure is permitted pursuant
to the preceding

sentence, the disclosing party shall (i) provide prior notice of such disclosure
to the other party, (ii) use reasonable efforts to minimize the extent of such
disclosure and (iii) comply with all reasonable requests of the other party to
minimize the extent of such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective
from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the Transaction, the
Issuer and each of its employees, representatives, or other agents may disclose
to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and
tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Issuer relating to such
tax treatment and tax structure.

17. Treatment in Bankruptcy; No Setoff; No Collateral.

      (a) In the event Issuer becomes the subject of proceedings ("BANKRUPTCY
PROCEEDINGS") under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy
or insolvency statute from time to time in effect, any rights or claims of MSCO
hereunder in respect of this transaction shall rank for all purposes no higher
than, but on a parity with, the rights or claims of holders of Shares, and MSCO
hereby agrees that its rights and claims hereunder shall be subordinated to
those of all parties with claims or rights against Issuer (other than common
stockholders) to the extent necessary to assure such ranking. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, after the commencement of Bankruptcy
Proceedings, the claims of MSCO hereunder shall for all purposes have rights
equivalent to the rights of a holder of a percentage of the Shares equal to the
aggregate amount of such claims (the "CLAIM AMOUNT") taken as a percentage of
the sum of (i) the Claim Amount and (ii) the aggregate fair market value of all
outstanding Shares on the record date for distributions made to the holders of
such Shares in the related Bankruptcy Proceedings. Notwithstanding any right it
might otherwise have to assert a higher priority claim in any such Bankruptcy
Proceedings, MSCO shall be entitled to receive a distribution solely to the
extent and only in the form that a holder of such percentage of the Shares would
be entitled to receive in such Bankruptcy Proceedings, and, from and after the
commencement of such Bankruptcy Proceedings, MSCO expressly waives (i) any other
rights or distributions to which it might otherwise be entitled in such
Bankruptcy Proceedings in respect of its rights and claims hereunder and (ii)
any rights of setoff it might otherwise be entitled to assert in respect of such
rights and claims.

      (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Confirmation or any other
agreement between the parties to the contrary, neither the obligations of Issuer
nor the obligations of MSCO hereunder are secured by any collateral, security
interest, pledge or lien.

18. Share Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Confirmation to the
contrary, in no event shall Issuer be required to deliver to MSCO a number of
Shares that exceeds the Share Cap (as specified in Schedule I), subject to
reduction by the number of Shares delivered hereunder by the Issuer on any prior
date.

19. Assignment. The rights and duties under this Confirmation may not be
assigned or transferred by any party hereto without the prior written consent of
the other party hereto.
