         SECTION 2.1 TITLE AND TERMS.

         The Securities shall be known and designated as the "5% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2007"of the Company. The aggregate principal amount of
Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is
limited to $200,000,000 (or $230,000,000 if the over-allotment option set forth
in Section 2 of the Purchase Agreement is exercised in full), except for
securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in
exchange for, or in lieu of other Securities pursuant to Section 2.7, 2.8, 2.9,
2.12, 7.5, 10.8, 11.1 or 12.2 hereof. The Securities shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.

         The Securities shall mature on February 8, 2007.

         Interest shall accrue from February 8, 2000 at the Interest Rate until
the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be
payable semiannually in arrears on February 8 and August 8 in each year,
commencing August 8, 2000.

         Interest on the Securities shall be computed (i) for any full
semiannual period for which a particular Interest Rate is applicable on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and (ii) for any period for
which a particular Interest Rate is applicable shorter than a full semiannual
period for which interest is calculated, on the basis of a 30-day month and, for
such periods of less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a
30-day month. For purposes of determining the Interest Rate, the Trustee may
assume that a Reset Transaction has not occurred unless the Trustee has received
an Officers' Certificate stating that a Reset Transaction has occurred and

         A Holder of any Security at the close of business on a Regular Record
Date shall be entitled to receive interest (including Liquidated Damages, if
any) on such Security on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. A Holder of
any Security which is converted after the close of business on a Regular Record
Date and prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date (other than any
Security whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be
entitled to receive interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the
principal amount of such Security, notwithstanding the conversion of such
Security prior to such Interest Payment Date. However, any such Holder which
surrenders any such Security for conversion during the period between the close
of business on such Regular Record Date and ending with the opening of business
on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required to pay the Company
an amount equal to the interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the
principal amount of such Security so converted, which is payable by the Company
to such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, at the time such Holder surrenders
such Security for conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder
which surrenders for conversion any Security which has been called for
redemption by the Company in a notice of redemption given by the Company
pursuant to Section 10.5 hereof shall be entitled to receive (and retain) such
interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) and need not pay the Company an
amount equal to the interest (including

                                       15
<PAGE>

Liquidated Damages, if any) on the principal amount of such Security so
converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion.

shall be payable to the Depositary in immediately available funds.

         Principal and premium, if any, on Physical Securities shall be payable
at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, initially

except as provided in Section 2.3(a)(iii). Each Security that bears or is
required to bear the Restricted Securities Legend set forth in Section 2.3(a)(i)
(together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities and
required to bear the Restricted Securities Legend set forth in Section
2.3(a)(ii), collectively, the "Restricted Securities") shall be subject to the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.3(a) (including the
Restricted Securities Legend set forth below), and the Holder of each such
Restricted Security, by such Holder's acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to
have agreed to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer.

         As used in Section 2.3(a), the term "transfer" encompasses any sale,
pledge, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security.

                     (i) Restricted Securities Legend for Securities.

         Except as provided in Section 2.3(a)(iii), until two years after the
original issuance date of any Security, any certificate evidencing such Security
(and all securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof, other
than Common Stock, if any, issued upon conversion thereof which shall bear the
legend set forth in Section 2.3(a)(ii), if applicable) shall bear a Restricted
Securities Legend in substantially the following form:

         THE SECURITY EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED
         UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR
         ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE
         UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS
         EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ACQUISITION HEREOF,
         THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER"
         AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; (2) AGREES THAT IT
         WILL NOT WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THIS SECURITY
         RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY OR THE
         COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF SUCH SECURITY EXCEPT (A) TO
         THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL
         BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (C)
         PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER
         THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE) OR (D) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION
         STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
         AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER; AND
         (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THE SECURITY
         EVIDENCED HEREBY IS TRANSFERRED (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO
         CLAUSE 2(D) ABOVE) A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND.
         IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY WITHIN
         TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF SUCH SECURITY (OTHER THAN A
         TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE), THE HOLDER MUST CHECK THE
         APPROPRIATE BOX SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF RELATING TO THE MANNER
         OF SUCH TRANSFER AND SUBMIT THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE TRUSTEE (OR ANY
         SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE). IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS PURSUANT
         TO CLAUSE (2)(C) ABOVE, THE HOLDER MUST, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER,
         FURNISH TO THE TRUSTEE (OR ANY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE, AS APPLICABLE), SUCH
         CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMPANY MAY
         REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT
         TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE
         REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. THIS LEGEND WILL BE
         REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED
         HEREBY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE OR THE EXPIRATION OF TWO YEARS
         FROM THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY.

                                       18

         AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON" HAVE THE
         MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

                     (ii) Restricted Securities Legend for Common Stock Issued
         Upon Conversion of the Securities.

         Until two years after the original issuance date of any Security, any
stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of such
Security shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend in substantially the
following form:

         THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
         SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE
         SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED
         STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS
         SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. THE HOLDER HEREOF AGREES THAT
         UNTIL THE EXPIRATION OF TWO YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE
         SECURITY UPON THE CONVERSION OF WHICH THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY
         WAS ISSUED, (1) IT WILL NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITY
         EXCEPT (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (B) PURSUANT TO
         THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE
         SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE) OR (C) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION
         STATEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
         AND WHICH CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH TRANSFER; (2)
         PRIOR TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER OTHER THAN A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO CLAUSE
         1(C) ABOVE, IT WILL FURNISH TO SUCH TRANSFER AGENT (OR ANY SUCCESSOR
         TRANSFER AGENT, AS APPLICABLE), SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR
         OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMPANY MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT
         SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A
         TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
         SECURITIES ACT; AND (3) IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THE
         COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY IS TRANSFERRED (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER
         PURSUANT TO A CLAUSE (1)(C) ABOVE) A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT
         OF THIS LEGEND. THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE
         TRANSFER OF THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (1)(C)
         ABOVE OR THE EXPIRATION OF TWO YEARS FROM THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE
         SECURITY UPON THE CONVERSION OF WHICH THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY
         WAS ISSUED. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERMS "UNITED STATES" AND "U.S. PERSON"
         HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES
         ACT.

                     (iii) Removal of the Restricted Securities Legends.

                                       19
<PAGE>

         Each Security or share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such
Security shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend set forth in Section
2.3(a)(i) or 2.3(a)(ii), as the case may be, until the earlier of:

                                    (A) two years after the original issuance
                           date of such Security;

                                    (B) such Security or Common Stock has been
                           sold pursuant to a registration statement that has
                           been declared effective under the Securities Act (and
                           which continues to be effective at the time of such
                           sale); or

                                    (C) such Common Stock has been issued upon
                           conversion of Securities that have been sold pursuant
                           to a registration statement that has been declared
                           effective under the Securities Act (and which
                           continues to be effective at the time of such sale).

The Holder must give notice thereof to the Trustee and any transfer agent for
the Common Stock, as applicable.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Securities Legend may
be removed if there is delivered to the Company such satisfactory evidence,
which may include an opinion of independent counsel, as may be reasonably
required by the Company that neither such legend nor the restrictions on
transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of such
Security will not violate the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the
written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
for such Securities another Security or Securities having an equal aggregate
principal amount that does not bear such legend. If the Restricted Securities
Legend has been removed from a Security as provided above, no other Security
issued in exchange for all or any part of such Security shall bear such
legend, unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such other
Security is a "restricted security" within the meaning of Rule 144 and
instructs the Trustee in writing to cause a Restricted Securities Legend to
appear thereon.

         Any Security (or security issued in exchange or substitution thereof)
as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with
their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the Restricted
Securities Legend set forth in Section 2.3(a)(i) as set forth therein have been
satisfied may, upon surrender of such Security for exchange to the Registrar in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7 hereof, be exchanged for a new
Security or Securities, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which
shall not bear the Restricted Securities Legend required by Section 2.3(a)(i).

         Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall
have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for
removal of the Restricted Securities Legend set forth in Section 2.3(a)(ii) as
set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates
representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the
procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new
certificate or

                                       20
<PAGE>

certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, which shall
not bear the Restricted Securities Legend required by Section 2.3(a)(ii).

         (b)      GLOBAL SECURITY LEGEND.

         Each Global Security shall also bear the following legend on the face
thereof:

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY ("DTC") TO INHALE THERAPEUTIC SYSTEMS, INC. (OR ITS
SUCCESSOR) OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, CONVERSION OR
PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR
IN SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND
ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED
BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE
HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE
REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

         SECTION 2.4 EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.

         Two Officers shall execute the Securities on behalf of the Company by
manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no
longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security
shall be valid nevertheless.

         At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to
the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in
this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

         Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

         No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, and such
certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.

         The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent or agents reasonably
acceptable to the Company with respect to the Securities. Unless limited by the
terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities
whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

                                       21

         SECTION 2.5 REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT.

         The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the "Registrar") and an
office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the "Paying
Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities (the "Register")
and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more
co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents for the Securities. The
term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent and the term
"Registrar" includes any additional registrar. The Company may change any Paying
Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.

         The Company will cause each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that
such Paying Agent will:

                           (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the
         principal of and premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated
         Damages, if any) on Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons
         entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
         otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture;

                           (2) give the Trustee notice of any Default by the
         Company in the making of any payment of principal and premium, if any,
         or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any); and

                           (3) at any time during the continuance of any such
         Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the
         Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

         The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name
and address of any Agent who is not a party to this Indenture. If the Company
fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the
Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act
as Paying Agent or Registrar; provided, however, that none of the Company, its
subsidiaries or the Affiliates of the foregoing shall act:

                     (i) as Paying Agent in connection with redemptions, offers
         to purchase and discharges, as otherwise specified in this Indenture,
         and

                     (ii)as Paying Agent or Registrar if a Default or Event of
         Default has occurred and is continuing.

         The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and
Paying Agent for the Securities.

                                       22
<PAGE>

         SECTION 2.6 PAYING AGENT TO HOLD ASSETS IN TRUST.

         Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of the
principal, premium, if any, and interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any)
on any Securities, the Company shall deposit with one or more Paying Agents
money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal, premium,
if any, and interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) so becoming due. The
Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to
the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than
the Company) shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the
Trustee.

         If the Company shall act as a Paying Agent, it shall, prior to or on
each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest (including
Liquidated Damages, if any) on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in
trust for the benefit of the Holders a sum sufficient with monies held by all
other Paying Agents, to pay the principal and premium, if any, or interest
(including Liquidated Damages, if any) so becoming due until such sums shall be
paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act.

         SECTION 2.7 GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

         The Securities are issuable only in registered form. A Holder may
transfer a Security only by written application to the Registrar stating the
name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this
Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall
succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration
of the transfer by the Registrar in the Register. Furthermore, any Holder of a
Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that
transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only
through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or
its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be
required to be reflected in a book-entry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a Restricted Security, a beneficial interest in a Global Security being
transferred in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act other than in accordance with Rule 144 and Rule 144A may only
be transferred for a Physical Security.

         When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to
register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal aggregate principal
amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall
register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for
such transactions are met (including that such Securities are duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the Holder
thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the
Holder). Subject to Section 2.4 hereof, to permit registrations of transfers and
exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
Securities at the Registrar's request. No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Securities, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges
pursuant to Section 2.14, 7.5 or 10.8 hereof).

                                       23
<PAGE>

         Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to exchange or
register a transfer of any Securities:

                           (1) for a period of 15 Business Days prior to the day
         of any selection of Securities for redemption under Article 10 hereof;

                           (2) so selected for redemption or, if a portion of
         any Security is selected for redemption, such portion thereof selected
         for redemption; or

                           (3) surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of
         any Security is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof
         surrendered for conversion.

         SECTION 2.8       BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS FOR THE GLOBAL SECURITIES.

         (a)      The Global Securities initially shall:

                     (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary (or a
         nominee thereof);

                     (ii)be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such
         Depositary; and

                     (iii) bear the Restricted Securities Legend as set forth in
         Section 2.3(a)(i) hereof.

         Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("DTC Participants")
shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security
held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or
under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of
such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of
the Company or Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the
Depositary and the DTC Participants, the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

         (b) The registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and
otherwise authorize any Person, including DTC Participants and Persons that may
hold interests through DTC Participants, to take any action which a Holder is
entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

         (c) A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to
any Person other than the Depositary (or a nominee thereof), and no such
transfer to any such other Person may be registered. Beneficial interests in a
Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures
of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.9 hereof.

         (d) If at any time:

                     (i) the Depositary notifies the Company in writing that it
         is no longer willing or able to continue to act as Depositary for the
         Global Securities, or the Depositary ceases to

                                       24
<PAGE>

         be a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act and a
         successor depositary for the Global Securities is not appointed by the
         Company within 90 days of such notice or cessation;

                     (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in
         writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Securities in
         definitive form under this Indenture in exchange for all or any part of
         the Securities represented by a Global Security or Global Securities;
         or

                     (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
         and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary for the
         issuance of Physical Securities in exchange for such Global Security or
         Global Securities,

the Depositary shall surrender such Global Security or Global Securities to the
Trustee for cancellation and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of an Officers' Certificate and Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of Securities, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such
Global Security or Global Securities, Physical Securities of like tenor as that
of the Global Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of such Global Security or Global Securities. Such Physical
Securities shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall identify in
writing as the beneficial owners of the Securities represented by such Global
Security or Global Securities (or any nominee thereof).

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of
beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to
Section 2.8(d) hereof, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the
date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount
equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Global Security
to be transferred.

         SECTION 2.9 SPECIAL TRANSFER PROVISIONS.

         Unless a Security is transferred after the time period referred to in
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or otherwise sold pursuant to a
registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act
(and which continues to be effective at the time of such sale), the following
provisions shall apply.

         With respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of Securities
to a QIB:

                     (i) If the Securities to be transferred consist of an
         interest in the Global Securities, the transfer of such interest may be
         effected only through the book-entry system maintained by the
         Depositary.

                     (ii)If the Securities to be transferred consist of Physical
         Securities, the Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer
         is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided
         for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise advised the
         Company and the Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made in

                                       25
<PAGE>

         compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has
         signed the certification provided for on the form of Security stating
         or has otherwise advised the Company and the Registrar in writing that:

                                    (A) it is purchasing the Securities for its
                           own account or an account with respect to which it
                           exercises sole investment discretion, in each case
                           for investment and not with a view to distribution;

                                    (B) it and any such account is a QIB within
                           the meaning of Rule 144A;

                                    (C) it is aware that the sale to it is being
                           made in reliance on Rule 144A;

                                    (D) it acknowledges that it has received
                           such information regarding the Company as it has
                           requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not
                           to request such information; and

                                    (E) it is aware that the transferor is
                           relying upon its foregoing representations in order
                           to claim the exemption from registration provided by
                           Rule 144A.

         In addition, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the
date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Securities in an
amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Securities to be
transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Securities so
transferred.

         By its acceptance of any Security bearing the Restricted Securities
Legend, each Holder of such a Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer
of such Security set forth in this Indenture and agrees that it will transfer
such Security only as provided in this Indenture. The Registrar shall not
register a transfer of any Security unless such transfer complies with the
restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture. The
Registrar shall be entitled to receive and rely on written instructions from the
Company verifying that such transfer complies with such restrictions on
transfer. In connection with any transfer of Securities, each Holder agrees by
its acceptance of the Securities to furnish the Registrar or the Company such
certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may
reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an
exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements
of the Securities Act; provided that the Registrar shall not be required to
determine (but may rely on a determination made by the Company with respect to)
the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.

         The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other
written communications received pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof or this Section
2.9. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such
letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the
giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

         SECTION 2.10 HOLDER LISTS.

         The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA. If the
Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee prior to
or on each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders relating to such
Interest Payment Date or request, as the case may be.

         SECTION 2.11 PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.

         The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the registered Holder of a Global Security as the absolute owner of
such Global Security for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account
thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be
overdue, and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any
notice of previous loss or theft or other interest therein. The Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest
(including Liquidated Damages, if any) on such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and
notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon, or any notice of
previous loss or theft or other interest therein.

         SECTION 2.12 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN SECURITIES.

         If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

         If there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee

                          (1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction,
         loss or theft of any Security, and

                          (2) such security or indemnity as may be required by
         them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless,
         then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such
         Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall
         execute and, upon request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
         in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security
         of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
         contemporaneously outstanding.

         In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion, but
subject to any conversion rights, may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay
such Security, upon satisfaction of the condition set forth in the preceding
paragraph.

                                       27
<PAGE>

         Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

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

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

         SECTION 2.13 TREASURY SECURITIES.

         In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities are present at a meeting of Holders for quorum purposes
or have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding, except that, in
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such
determination as to the presence of a quorum or upon any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only such Securities of
which the Trustee has received written notice and are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

         SECTION 2.14 TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

         Pending the preparation of Securities in definitive form, the Company
may execute and the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company,
authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed or lithographed).
Temporary Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and
substantially in the form of the Securities in definitive form but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary
Security shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee upon
the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same
effect, as the Securities in definitive form. Without unreasonable delay, the
Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee Securities in definitive form
(other than in the case of Securities in global form) and thereupon any or all
temporary Securities (other than any such Securities in global form) may be
surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the
Company pursuant to Section 9.2 and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of
Securities in definitive form. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its
own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to
the same limitations under this Indenture as Securities in definitive form
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 2.15 CANCELLATION.

         All securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repurchase,
conversion, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so
delivered shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee, and no Securities shall be
issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of
this Indenture. Upon written instructions of the Company, the Trustee shall
destroy canceled Securities and, after such destruction, shall deliver a
certificate of such destruction to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any
of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless the same
are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

         SECTION 2.16 CUSIP NUMBERS.

         The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of
redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such
notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any such notice
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any change in the CUSIP numbers.

         SECTION 2.17 DEFAULTED INTEREST.

         If the Company fails to make a payment of interest (including
Liquidated Damages, if any) on any Security when due and payable ("Defaulted
Interest"), it shall pay such Defaulted Interest plus (to the extent lawful) any
interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect
to pay such Defaulted Interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the
Persons who are Holders of such Securities on which the interest is due on a
subsequent Special Record Date. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing
of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security.
The Company shall fix any such Special Record Date and payment date for such
payment. At least 15 days before any such Special Record Date, the Company shall
mail to Holders affected thereby a notice that states the Special Record Date,
the Interest Payment Date, and amount of such interest (and such Liquidated
Damages, if any) to be paid.

         SECTION 3.1 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.

         When:

                  (1) The Company shall deliver to the trustee for cancellation
         all securities previously authenticated (other than any securities
         which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of, or in
         substitution for which, other securities shall have been authenticated
         and delivered) and not previously canceled, or

                  (2) all the securities not previously canceled or delivered to
         the trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are
         by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be
         called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory
         to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption,

                           (A) the Company shall deposit with the Trustee, in
         trust, cash in U.S. dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations which
         through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof, in
         accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment and
         assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such Trustee), not later
         than one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in
         cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
         independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
         thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay principal of, premium, if any,
         or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on all of the
         Securities (other than any Securities which shall have been mutilated,
         destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which
         other Securities shall have been authenticated and delivered) not
         previously canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, on
         the dates such payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest
         (including Liquidated Damages, if any) are due to such date of maturity
         or redemption, as the case may be, and

                           (B) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
         an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
         (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the
         Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date of execution of
         this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal
         income tax law, in the case of either clause (x) or (y) to the effect
         that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the
         Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
         purposes as a result of such deposit and discharge and will be subject
         to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at
         the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and
         discharge had not occurred, and

                                       30
<PAGE>

if, in the case of either clause (1) or (2), the Company shall also pay or cause
to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture
shall cease to be of further effect (except as to:

                           (i) remaining rights of registration of transfer,
                  substitution and exchange and conversion of Securities,

                           (ii) rights hereunder of Holders to receive payments
                  of principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including
                  Liquidated Damages, if any) on, the Securities and the other
                  rights, duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries
                  hereof with respect to the amounts, if any, so deposited with
                  the Trustee, and

                           (iii) the rights, obligations and immunities of the
                  Trustee hereunder),

and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and
discharging this Indenture; provided, however, the Company shall reimburse the
Trustee for all amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.8 hereof and for any
costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee and
to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly
rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Securities.

         SECTION 3.2 DEPOSITED MONIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

         Subject to Section 3.3 hereof, all monies deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it to the
payment, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 13 hereof, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company if acting as its own Paying
Agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities for the payment or
redemption of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all
sums due and to become due thereon for principal, premium, if any, and interest
(including Liquidated Damages, if any). All monies deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for the
payment of Securities subsequently converted shall be returned to the Company
upon request of the Company.

         SECTION 3.3 RETURN OF UNCLAIMED MONIES.

         The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company any money
held by them for the payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest
(including Liquidated Damages, if any) that remains unclaimed for two years
after the date upon which such payment shall have become due. After payment to
the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment
as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates
another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with
respect to such money shall cease.

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

         SECTION 4.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

         An "Event of Default" with respect to the Securities occurs when any of
the following occurs (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether
it shall be occasioned by the provisions of Article 13 hereof or be voluntary or
involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):

         (a) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of or premium,
if any, on any of the Securities when it becomes due and payable at Maturity,
upon redemption or exercise of a Repurchase Right or otherwise, whether or not
such payment is prohibited by Article 13 hereof; or

         (b) the Company defaults in the payment of interest (including
Liquidated Damages, if any) on any of the Securities when it becomes due and
payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, whether or not such
payment is prohibited by Article 13 hereof; or

         (c) the Company fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or
agreement contained in the Securities or this Indenture and the default
continues for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure,
requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company
by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; or

         (d) (i) the Company fails to make any payment by the end of the
applicable grace period, if any, after the maturity of any Indebtedness for
borrowed money in an amount in excess of $5,000,000 (provided that such failure
shall not constitute an Event of Default if (1) the Company determines, in good
faith, that a lessor under a lease described in clause (3)(a) of the definition
of Indebtedness breached a covenant under the lease and the Company has given
notice of the breach to the lessor and the Trustee and (2) as a result of the
breach, the Company withholds payment under the lease) (a "Default Exception"),
or (ii) there is an acceleration of any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an
amount in excess of $5,000,000 because of a default with respect to such
Indebtedness (other than a Default Exception) without such Indebtedness having
been discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or
annulled, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, for a period of 30 days after
written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee
by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities; or

         (e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a
decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or
proceeding under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the
Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition
seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect
of the Company

                                       32
<PAGE>

under any applicable U.S. federal or state law, or appointing a custodian,
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official
of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the
winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree
or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for
a period of 60 consecutive days; or

         (f) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding
under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be
adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry
of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case
or proceeding under any applicable U.S. federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or
insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or the filing by the Company
of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any
applicable U.S. federal or state law, or the consent by the Company to the
filing of such petition or to the appointment of or the taking possession by a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or
the making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the
admission by the Company in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company expressly
in furtherance of any such action.

         SECTION 4.2 ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT.

         If an Event of Default with respect to Outstanding Securities (other
than an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(e) or 4.1(f) hereof) occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the
Company, may declare due and payable 100% of the principal amount of all
Outstanding Securities plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
payment. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of payment shall be immediately due and payable.

         If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(e) or 4.1(f) hereof
occurs, all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including
Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Outstanding Securities shall become and be
immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder.

         The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may rescind and annul an
acceleration and its consequences if:

                           (1) all existing Events of Default, other than the
         nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Securities which have
         become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied,
         cured or waived, and

                           (2) the rescission would not conflict with any
         judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;

                                       33
<PAGE>

provided, however, that in the event such declaration of acceleration has been
made based on the existence of an Event of Default under Section 4.1(d) hereof
and such Event of Default has been remedied, cured or waived in accordance with
Section 4.1(d) hereof, then, without any further action by the Holders, such
declaration of acceleration shall be rescinded automatically and the
consequences of such declaration shall be annulled. No such rescission or
annulment shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

         SECTION 4.3 OTHER REMEDIES.

         If an Event of Default with respect to Outstanding Securities occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at
law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the
Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities.

         The Trustee may maintain a proceeding in which it may prosecute and
enforce all rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities,
even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of
them in the proceeding.

         SECTION 4.4 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

         The Holders, either (a) through the written consent of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or (b) by
the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding
Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented at such
meeting, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities, waive an
existing Default or Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default:

                           (1) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if
         any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on any Security
         (provided, however, that subject to Section 4.7 hereof, the Holders of
         a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
         may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related
         payment default that resulted from such acceleration); or

                           (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof
         which, under Section 7.2 hereof, cannot be modified or amended without
         the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security affected.

         Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
purpose of this Indenture; provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

         SECTION 4.5 CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

         The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities (or such lesser amount as shall have acted as a meeting
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture)

                                       34
<PAGE>

shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that:

                           (1) conflicts with any law or with this Indenture;

                           (2) the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial
         to the rights of the Holders not joining therein, or

                           (3) may expose the Trustee to personal liability.

The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction.

         SECTION 4.6 LIMITATION ON SUIT.

No Holder of any Security shall have any right to pursue any remedy with respect
to this indenture or the Securities (including, instituting any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of
a receiver or trustee) unless:

                           (1) such Holder has previously given written notice
         to the Trustee of an Event of Default that is continuing;

                           (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
         principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written
         request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

                           (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the
         Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against any costs, expenses and
         liabilities incurred in complying with such request;

                           (4) the Trustee has failed to comply with the request
         for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
         indemnity; and

                           (5) during such 60-day period, no direction
         inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee by
         the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
         Outstanding Securities (or such amount as shall have acted at a meeting
         pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture);

provided, however, that no one or more of such Holders may use this Indenture to
prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain preference or priority over
another Holder.

         SECTION 4.7 UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT AND TO
                     CONVERT.

         Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of
any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including
Liquidated Damages, if any) on such Security on the

                                       35
<PAGE>

Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on
the Redemption Date, or in the case of the exercise of a Repurchase Right, on
the Repurchase Date) and to convert such Security in accordance with Article 12,
and to bring for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates and right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder.

         SECTION 4.8 COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY THE
                     TRUSTEE.

         The Company covenants that if:

                           (1) a Default or Event of Default is made in the
         payment of any interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on any
         Security when such interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any)
         becomes due and payable and such Default or Event of Default continues
         for a period of 30 days, or

                           (2) a Default or Event of Default is made in the
         payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security at the
         Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable (as expressed
therein or as a result of any acceleration effected pursuant to Section 4.2
hereof) on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest
(including Liquidated Damages, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and
premium, if any, and on any overdue interest (including Liquidated Damages, if
any), calculated using the Interest Rate, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

         If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in
the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, wherever
situated.

         If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders of Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee
shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for
the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper
remedy.

         SECTION 4.9 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

         In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or the property of the Company or
its creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the
Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration
or

                                       36
<PAGE>

otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest (including
Liquidated Damages, if any)) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in
such proceeding or otherwise,

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by
each Holder of Securities to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event
that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.8.

         Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept, or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a
Security, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such
proceeding.

         SECTION 4.10 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

         If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any
proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such
case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders of Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to
their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.

         SECTION 4.11 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

         Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
Section 2.12, no right or remedy conferred in this Indenture upon or reserved to
the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion
or employment of

                                       37
<PAGE>

any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

         SECTION 4.12 DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.

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

         SECTION 4.13 APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED.

         Subject to Article 13, any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to
this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed
by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of
principal or premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if
any), upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the
payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

                  FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee;

                  SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for
         principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including Liquidated
         Damages, if any) on the Securities and coupons in respect of which or
         for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably,
         without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
         due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any,
         and interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any), respectively; and

                  THIRD:  Any remaining amounts shall be repaid to the Company.

         SECTION 4.14 UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.

         All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by
such Holder's acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in
such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court
may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any
Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on any
Security on or after the Stated Maturity expressed in such

                                       38
<PAGE>

Security (or, in the case of redemption or exercise of a Repurchase Right, on or
after the Redemption Date) or for the enforcement of the right to convert any
Security in accordance with Article 12.

         SECTION 4.15 WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS.

         The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law
and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

                                    ARTICLE 5

                                   THE TRUSTEE

         SECTION 5.1 CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

         (a)      Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,

                           (1) The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and
         only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture or the
         TIA, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
         Indenture against the Trustee; and

                           (2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the
         Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
         the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
         opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
         this Indenture; provided, however, that in the case of any such
         certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically
         required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the
         certificates or opinions to determine whether or not, on their face,
         they conform to the requirements to this Indenture (but need not
         investigate or confirm the accuracy of any facts stated therein).

         (b) In case an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree
of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

         (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

                          (1) This paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit
         the effect of paragraph (a) of this Section 5.1;

                          (2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
         judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall
         be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent
         facts; and

                          (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
         any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
         accordance with a direction received by it of the Holders of a majority
         in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or such lesser
         amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of
         this Indenture) relating to the time, method and place of conducting
         any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
         any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

                                       40
<PAGE>

         (d) Whether or not herein expressly so provided, every provision of
this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 5.1.

         (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. The
Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it
receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability, cost or
expense (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel).

         (f) The Trustee shall not be obligated to pay interest on any money or
other assets received by it unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.
Assets held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

         (g) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture,
note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the
Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into
such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to
make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney
at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional
liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

         (h) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or actual knowledge
of any Event of Default or a Registration Default (as such term is defined in
the Registration Rights Agreement) or the obligation of the Company to pay
Liquidated Damages unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact a
Default is received by the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof, and such
notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

         (i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given
to the Trustee hereunder, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each
of its capacities hereunder, and each Paying Agent, authenticating agent,
Conversion Agent or Registrar acting hereunder.

         SECTION 5.2 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

         Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof and subject to Section
315(a) through (d) of the TIA:

                           (1) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by
         it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
         person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
         the document.

                                       41
<PAGE>

                           (2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting,
         it may require an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or
         both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
         to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers' Certificate or
         Opinion of Counsel

                           (3) The Trustee may act through attorneys and agents
         and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any
         attorney or agent appointed with due care.

                           (4) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action
         taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith which it believed to
         be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred
         upon it by this Indenture, unless the Trustee's conduct constitutes
         negligence.

                           (5) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its
         selection and the advice of such counsel as to matters of law shall be
         full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
         taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in
         accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

                           (6) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this
         Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company
         shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

                           (7) The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things
         enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so
         specified herein.

         SECTION 5.3 INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.

         The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest (as such term is defined in Section 310(b) of the TIA), it must
eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to
continue as trustee (to the extent permitted under Section 310(b) of the TIA) or
resign. Any agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is
also subject to Sections 5.11 and 5.12 hereof.

         SECTION 5.4 MONEY HELD IN TRUST.

         Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise expressly agreed with the Company.

         SECTION 5.5 TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

         The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except for those
in the certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, and the Trustee assumes no

                                       42
<PAGE>

responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity, sufficiency or priority of this Indenture or of the Securities.
The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company
of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

         SECTION 5.6 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

         Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder of which the Trustee has received written notice, the Trustee shall
give notice to Holders pursuant to Section 14.2 hereof, unless such Default or
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the
principal of or premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if
any), or in the payment of any redemption or repurchase obligation on any
Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so
long as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the
withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

         SECTION 5.7 REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS.

         The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the
Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required by Section 313
of the TIA at the times and in the manner provided by the TIA.

         A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be
filed with the SEC, if required, and each stock exchange, if any, on which the
Securities are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the
Securities become listed on any stock exchange.

         SECTION 5.8 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNIFICATION.

         The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to
time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall
not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust) and the Company covenants and agrees to pay or
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance
with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents
and other persons not regularly in its employ), except to the extent that any
such expense, disbursement or advance is due to its negligence or bad faith.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event
of Default specified in Section 4.1 hereof, the expenses (including the
reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the
services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
bankruptcy law. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and its
officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold such Persons harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by them, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts
hereunder or the performance of their duties hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim of liability
in the premises, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense
was due to the negligence or willful misconduct of such Persons. The obligations
of the Company under this Section 5.8 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee
and

                                       43
<PAGE>

its officers, directors, employees and agents and to pay or reimburse such
Persons for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such additional
indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property
and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are
hereby subordinated to such senior claim. "Trustee" for purposes of this Section
5.8 shall include any predecessor Trustee, but the negligence or willful
misconduct of any Trustee shall not affect the indemnification of any other
Trustee.

         SECTION 5.9 REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE.

         A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 5.9.

         The Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created
by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by
so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company must remove the
Trustee if:

                             (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 5.10
                  hereof or Section 310 of the TIA;

                             (ii) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

                             (iii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an
                  insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to
                  the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; or

                             (iv) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of
the Trustee or its property.

         If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the

Article 7 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties,

the case may be, shall have set aside on its books reserves deemed by it
adequate with respect thereto.

         SECTION 9.6 REPORTS.

         (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after it
files them with the SEC copies of the annual reports and of the information,
documents, and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing
as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required
to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
provided, however, the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee
any materials for which the Company has sought and received confidential
treatment by the SEC. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of
Section 314(a) of the TIA.

         (b) If at any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder of a Security, the Company will
promptly furnish or cause to

                                       56
<PAGE>

be furnished to such Holder or to a prospective purchaser of such Security
designated by such Holder, as the case may be, the information, if any, required
to be delivered by it pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to
permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with the resale of such Security;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to furnish such
information in connection with any request made on or after the date which is
two years from the later of the date such security was last acquired from the
Company or an "affiliate" of the Company.

         SECTION 9.7 COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE.

         The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers' Certificate stating that in the
course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the
Company, they would normally have knowledge of any failure by the Company to
comply with all conditions, or Default by the Company with respect to any
covenants, under this Indenture, and further stating whether or not they have
knowledge of any such failure or default and, if so, specifying each such
failure or Default and the nature thereof. In the event an Officer of the
Company comes to have actual knowledge of a Default, regardless of the date, the
Company shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee specifying such
Default and the nature and status thereof.

         SECTION 9.8 RESALE OF CERTAIN SECURITIES.

         During the period of two years after the last date of original issuance
of any Securities, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
"affiliates" (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any
Securities, or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Securities, which constitute "restricted securities" under Rule 144, that are
acquired by any of them within the United States or to "U.S. persons" (as
defined in Regulation S) except pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom. The Trustee shall
have no responsibility or liability in respect of the Company's performance of
its agreement in the preceding sentence.

                            REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

         SECTION 10.1 PROVISIONAL REDEMPTION.

         Any time prior to February 8, 2003, the Company may, at its option,
redeem the Securities in whole or in part on any date from time to time, upon
notice as set forth in Section 10.5, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per
$1,000 principal amount of the Securities redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any (such amount, together with the Make-Whole Payment described
below, the "Provisional Redemption Price"), to but excluding the date of
redemption (the "Provisional Redemption Date") if (i) the Closing Price of the
Common Stock has exceeded 150% of the Conversion Price (as defined in Article 12
and as such may be adjusted from time to time) then in effect for at least 20
Trading Days in any consecutive 30-Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day
prior to the date of mailing of the provisional notice of redemption pursuant to
Section 10.5 (the "Notice Date"), and (ii) a registration statement covering
resales of the Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof
is effective and available for use and is expected to remain effective for the
30 days following the Provisional Redemption Date.

         Upon any such Provisional Redemption, the Company shall make an
additional payment in cash (the "Make-Whole Payment") with respect to the
Securities called for redemption to holders on the Notice Date in an amount
equal to $137.93 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, less the amount
of any interest actually paid on such Securities prior to the Notice Date. The
Company shall make the Make-Whole Payment on all Securities called for
Provisional Redemption, including those Securities converted into Common Stock
between the Notice Date and the Provisional Redemption Date.

         SECTION 10.2 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

         Except as set forth under Section 10.1, the Securities are not
redeemable prior to February 8, 2003. On or after February 8 , 2003, the Company
may, at its option, redeem the Securities in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, on any date prior to maturity, upon notice as set forth in Section
10.5, at the redemption price (expressed as percentages of the principal amount)
set forth below if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning February 8 of
the years indicated and ending February 7 of the following year:

("the Optional Redemption Price"), plus any interest accrued but not paid prior
to the Optional Redemption Date.

         SECTION 10.3 NOTICE TO TRUSTEE.

         If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to the redemption
provisions of Section 10.1 or Section 10.2 hereof, it shall notify the Trustee
at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date of such intended Redemption Date,
the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the CUSIP numbers of the
Securities to be redeemed.

         SECTION 10.4 SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.

         If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall
select the particular Securities to be redeemed from the Outstanding Securities
by a method that complies with the requirements of any exchange on which the
Securities are listed, or, if the Securities are not listed on an exchange, on a
pro rata basis or by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee
considers fair and appropriate. Securities and portions thereof that the Trustee
selects shall be in amounts equal to the minimum authorized denominations for
Securities to be redeemed or any integral multiple thereof.

         If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part
before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the
Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed to
be the portion selected for redemption (provided, however, that the Holder of
such Security so converted and deemed redeemed shall not be entitled to any
additional interest payment as a result of such deemed redemption than such
Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive upon conversion of such
Security). Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities
to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of
such selection.

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Registrar in
writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed.

         For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be
redeemed.

         SECTION 10.5 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

         Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section
14.2 hereof to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Such notice shall be
given not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.

         All notices of redemption shall state:

                                       59
<PAGE>

                           (1) the Redemption Date;

                           (2) the Redemption Price and interest accrued and
        unpaid to the Redemption Date, if any;

                           (3) if fewer than all the Outstanding Securities are
        to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be
        redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which will be
        outstanding after such partial redemption;

                           (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price
        and interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date, if any, will
        become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed, and that
        interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after such date;

                           (5) the Conversion Price, the date on which the right
        to convert the principal of the Securities to be redeemed will terminate
        and the places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion;

                           (6) the place or places where such Securities are to
        be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and
        unpaid interest, if any; and

                           (7) the CUSIP number of the Securities.

         The notice given shall specify the last date on which exchanges or
transfers of Securities may be made pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, and shall
specify the serial numbers of Securities and the portions thereof called for
redemption.

         Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of
the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the
Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company.

         SECTION 10.6 EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

         Notice of redemption having been given as provided in Section 10.5
hereof, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become
due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after
such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption
Price and accrued and unpaid interest) such Securities shall cease to bear
interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with
such notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price;
provided, however, the installments of interest on Securities whose Stated
Maturity is prior to or on the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders
of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on
the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section
2.7 hereof.

                                       60
<PAGE>

         If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and premium, if any, shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the Interest Rate.

         SECTION 10.7 DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

         Prior to or on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of all the Securities to be redeemed on that Redemption Date,
other than any Securities called for redemption on that date which have been
converted prior to the date of such deposit, and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, on such Securities.

         If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for
the redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of
such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the
fourth to last paragraph of Section 2.1 hereof) be paid to the Company on
Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such
trust.

         SECTION 10.8 SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.

         Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
at an office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose pursuant to
Section 9.2 hereof (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or the Holder's
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without
service charge, a new Security or Securities of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange
for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

                      REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF A HOLDER
                            UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL

         SECTION 11.1 REPURCHASE RIGHT.

         In the event that a Change in Control shall occur, each Holder shall
have the right (the "Repurchase Right"), at the Holder's option, but subject to
the provisions of Section 11.2 hereof, to require the Company to repurchase, and
upon the exercise of such right the Company shall repurchase, all of such
Holder's Securities not theretofore called for redemption, or any portion of the
principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple
thereof (provided that no single Security may be repurchased in part unless the
portion of the principal amount of such Security to be Outstanding after such
repurchase is equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof), on the date (the
"Repurchase Date") that is 45 days after the date of the Company Notice at a
purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be
repurchased (the "Repurchase Price"), plus interest accrued and unpaid to, but
excluding, the Repurchase Date; provided, however, that installments of interest
on Securities whose Stated Maturity is prior to or on the Repurchase Date shall
be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their
terms and the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof.

         Subject to the fulfillment by the Company of the conditions set forth
in Section 11.2 hereof, the Company may elect to pay the Repurchase Price by
delivering the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the Repurchase
Price divided by (ii) 95% of the average of the Closing Prices per share of
Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding and
including the third Trading Day prior to the Repurchase Date.

         Whenever in this Indenture (including Sections 2.2, 4.1(a) and 4.7
hereof) or Exhibit A annexed hereto there is a reference, in any context, to the
principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to
include reference to the Repurchase Price payable in respect to such Security to
the extent that such Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such
time, and express mention of the Repurchase Price in any provision of this
Indenture shall not be construed as excluding the Repurchase Price in those
provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made; provided,
however, that, for the purposes of Article 13 hereof, such reference shall be
deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price only to the extent the
Repurchase Price is payable in cash.

         SECTION 11.2 CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY'S ELECTION TO PAY THE REPURCHASE
                      PRICE IN COMMON STOCK.

         (a) The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon repurchase of
Securities hereunder:

                     (i) shall not require registration under any federal
         securities law before such shares may be freely transferable without
         being subject to any transfer restrictions under

                                       62
<PAGE>

         the Securities Act upon repurchase or, if such registration is
         required, such registration shall be completed and shall become
         effective prior to the Repurchase Date; and

                     (ii) shall not require registration with, or approval of,
         any governmental authority under any state law or any other federal law
         before shares may be validly issued or delivered upon repurchase or if
         such registration is required or such approval must be obtained, such
         registration shall be completed or such approval shall be obtained
         prior to the Repurchase Date.

         (b) The shares of Common Stock to be listed upon repurchase of
Securities hereunder are, or shall have been, approved for listing on the Nasdaq
National Market or the New York Stock Exchange or listed on another national
securities exchange, in any case, prior to the Repurchase Date.

         (c) All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon repurchase of
Securities will be issued out of the Company's authorized but unissued Common
Stock and will, upon issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
nonassessable and free of any preemptive or similar rights.

         (d) If any of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (d) of
this Section 11.2 are not satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof, the
Repurchase Price shall be paid by the Company only in cash.

         SECTION 11.3 NOTICES; METHOD OF EXERCISING REPURCHASE RIGHT, ETC.

         (a) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all
of the Outstanding Securities, prior to or on the 30th day after the occurrence
of a Change in Control, the Company, or, at the written request and expense of
the Company prior to or on the 30th day after such occurrence, the Trustee,
shall give to all Holders of Securities notice, in the manner provided in
Section 14.2 hereof, of the occurrence of the Change of Control and of the
Repurchase Right set forth herein arising as a result thereof (the "Company
Notice"). The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice of a Repurchase
Right to the Trustee. Each notice of a Repurchase Right shall state:

                           (1) the Repurchase Date;

                           (2) the date by which the Repurchase Right must
         exercised;

                           (3) the Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid
         interest, if any, and whether the Repurchase Price shall be paid by the
         Company in cash or by delivery of shares of Common Stock;

                           (4) a description of the procedure which a Holder
         must follow to exercise a Repurchase Right, and the place or places
         where such Securities, are to be surrendered for payment of the
         Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any;

                                       63
<PAGE>

                           (5) that on the Repurchase Date the Repurchase Price
         and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will become due and payable
         upon each such Security designated by the Holder to be repurchased, and
         that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

                           (6) the Conversion Rate then in effect, the date on
         which the right to convert the principal amount of the Securities to be
         repurchased will terminate and the place where such Securities may be
         surrendered for conversion, and

                           (7) the place or places where such Securities,
         together with the Option to Elect Repayment Upon a Change of Control
         certificate included in Exhibit A annexed hereto are to be delivered
         for payment of the Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if
         any.

         No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect
therein shall limit any Holder's right to exercise a Repurchase Right or affect
the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities.

         If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Article
11 are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

         (b) To exercise a Repurchase Right, a Holder shall deliver to the
Trustee prior to or on the 30th day after the date of the Company Notice:

                           (1) written notice of the Holder's exercise of such
                  right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder,
                  the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased (and,
                  if any Security is to be repurchased in part, the serial
                  number thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof to
                  be repurchased) and a statement that an election to exercise
                  the Repurchase Right is being made thereby, and, in the event
                  that the Repurchase Price shall be paid in shares of Common
                  Stock, the name or names (with addresses) in which the
                  certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall
                  be issued, and

                           (2) the Securities with respect to which the
                  Repurchase Right is being exercised.

Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Holder to
convert the Securities with respect to which the Repurchase Right is being
exercised shall continue until the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Repurchase Date.

         (c) In the event a Repurchase Right shall be exercised in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee
the Repurchase Price in cash or shares of Common Stock, as provided above, for
payment to the Holder on the Repurchase Date or, if shares of Common Stock are
to be paid, as promptly after the Repurchase Date as practicable, together with
accrued and unpaid interest to the Repurchase Date payable in cash with respect
to the Securities as to which the Repurchase Right has been exercised; provided,

                                       64
<PAGE>

however, that installments of interest that mature prior to or on the Repurchase
Date shall be payable in cash to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Regular Record Date.

         (d) If any Security (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase
shall not be so paid on the Repurchase Date, the principal amount of such
Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear
interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date at
the Interest Rate, and each Security shall remain convertible into Common Stock
until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be)
shall have been paid or duly provided for.

         (e) Any Security which is to be repurchased only in part shall be
surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security
without service charge, a new Security or Securities, containing identical terms
and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount
equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the
Security so surrendered.

         (f) Any issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Repurchase
Price shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of
business on the Repurchase Date and the Person or Persons in whose name or names
any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable
upon such repurchase shall be deemed to have become on the Repurchase Date the
holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby; provided,
however, that any surrender for repurchase on a date when the stock transfer
books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person or Persons in
whose name or names the certificate or certificates for such shares are to be
issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the opening
of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are
open. No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions on
any Common Stock issued upon repurchase of any Security declared prior to the
Repurchase Date.

         (g) No fractions of shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
repurchase of any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be
repurchased from the same Holder and the Repurchase Price shall be payable in
shares of Common Stock, the number of full shares which shall be issued upon
such repurchase shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount
of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) to be so repurchased. Instead
of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued on the
repurchase of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the
Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to
the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the

         (h) Any issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common
Stock on repurchase of Securities shall be made without charge to the Holder of
Securities being repurchased for such certificates or for any tax or duty in
respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the Securities
represented thereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of (i) income of the
Holder or (ii) any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of certificates
for shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the
Securities being repurchased, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made
unless the Persons requesting such issuance or delivery has paid to the Company
the amount of any such tax or duty or has established, to the satisfaction of
the Company, that such tax or duty has been paid.

         (i) All Securities delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the
Trustee to be canceled at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of
the same as provided in Section 2.15 hereof.

                            CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

         SECTION 12.1 CONVERSION RIGHT AND CONVERSION PRICE.

         Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at
the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal
amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be
converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into duly
authorized, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, at the
Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of
conversion. Such conversion right shall expire at the close of business on
February 8, 2007.

         In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption, such
conversion right in respect of the Security or the portion so called, shall
expire at the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the
Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon
redemption. In the case of a Change of Control for which the Holder exercises
its Repurchase Right with respect to a Security or portion thereof, such
conversion right in respect of the Security or portion thereof shall expire at
the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase
Date.

         The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon
conversion (the "Conversion Price") shall be initially equal to $76.71 per share
of Common Stock. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted in certain instances as
provided in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h) and (1) of Section 12.4
hereof.

         SECTION 12.2 EXERCISE OF CONVERSION RIGHT.

         To exercise the conversion right, the Holder of any Security to be
converted shall surrender such Security duly endorsed or assigned to the Company
or in blank, at the office of any Conversion Agent, accompanied by a duly signed
conversion notice substantially in the form attached to the Security to the
Company stating that the Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than
the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to
be converted.

         Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close
of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date (except in the case of any Security whose
Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be accompanied by payment
in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an
amount equal to the interest to be received on such Interest Payment Date on the
principal amount of Securities being surrendered for conversion.

         Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to
the close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the
Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable

                                       67
<PAGE>

upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or
after the conversion date, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered
to such Conversion Agent a certificate or certificates for the number of full
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in
lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 12.3 hereof.

         In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such
conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or
Securities of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to
the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Securities.

         If shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted
Security, or Securities to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Security in
part only, are to be registered in a name other than that of the Holder of such
Restricted Security, such Holder must deliver to the Conversion Agent a
certificate in substantially the form set forth in the form of Security set
forth in Exhibit A annexed hereto, dated the date of surrender of such
Restricted Security and signed by such Holder, as to compliance with the
restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Security. Neither the
Trustee nor any Conversion Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required
to register in a name other than that of the Holder shares of Common Stock or
Securities issued upon conversion of any such Restricted Security not so
accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

         The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as the Conversion
Agent.

         SECTION 12.3 FRACTIONS OF SHARES.

         No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of
any Security or Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for
conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall
be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so
surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would
otherwise be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified
portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to
the same fraction of the Quoted Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day
preceding the date of conversion.

         SECTION 12.4 ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.

         The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustments, calculated by the
Company, from time to time as follows:

         (a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a
distribution to all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date
following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such
Conversion Price by a fraction:

                                       68
<PAGE>

                             (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of
                  shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on
                  the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) fixed for such
                  determination, and

                             (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of
                  such number of shares and the total number of shares
                  constituting such dividend or other distribution.

Such reduction shall become effective immediately after the opening of business
on the day following the Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the
type described in this Section 12.4(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the
Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would
then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

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

         (c) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants (other than any
rights or warrants referred to in Section 12.4(d)) to all holders of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price
per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market
Price (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) on the Record Date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of
business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction:

                             (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of
                  shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on
                  the Record Date plus the number of shares which the aggregate
                  offering price of the total number of shares so offered for
                  subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of
                  the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such
                  Current Market Price, and

                             (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number
                  of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the close of business
                  on the Record Date plus the total number of additional shares
                  of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or
                  into which the convertible securities so offered are
                  convertible).

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business
on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common
Stock (or securities convertible into Common

                                       69
<PAGE>

Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the
expiration or termination of such rights or warrants the Conversion Price shall
be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the
adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the
basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or
securities convertible into Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that
such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such date
fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants
entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less
than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price
of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any
consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such
consideration if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

         (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to
all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the
Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.4(a)
applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including
securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section
12.4(c), (2) any stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash)
distributed in connection with a reclassification, change, merger,
consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to
which Section 12.11 hereof applies and (3) dividends and distributions paid
exclusively in cash (the securities described in foregoing clauses (1), (2) and
(3) hereinafter in this Section 12.4(d) called the "securities"), then, in each
such case, subject to the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 12.4(d),
the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the
price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior
to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 12.4(g)) with
respect to such distribution by a fraction:

                             (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current
                  Market Price (determined as provided in Section 12.4(g)) on
                  such date less the fair market value (as determined by the
                  Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
                  and set forth in a Board Resolution) on such date of the
                  portion of the securities so distributed applicable to one
                  share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number
                  of shares of the Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date),
                  and

                             (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current
                  Market Price.

Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of
business on the day following the Record Date. However, in the event that the
then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the securities so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than
the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing
adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the
right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any portion thereof)
the amount of securities such Holder would have received had such Holder
converted such Security (or portion thereof)

                                       70
<PAGE>

immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or
distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be
adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such
dividend or distribution had not been declared.

         If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any
distribution for purposes of this Section 12.4(d) by reference to the actual or
when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such
distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the
same period (the "Reference Period") used in computing the Current Market Price
pursuant to Section 12.4(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board of
Directors in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the
fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest
of the Holder.

         Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common
Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the
Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which
rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events
("Trigger Event"):

                     (iii) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of
         Common Stock;

                     (iv) are not exercisable; and

                     (v) are also issued in respect of future issuances of
         Common Stock,

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section
12.4(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 12.4(d)
will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such
right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which
such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different securities,
evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a
different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing
at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be
deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or
warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant
without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any
distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger
Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with
respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price under
this Section 12.4(d):

                           (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which
                  shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise
                  by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be
                  readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give
                  effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may
                  be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per
                  share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of
                  Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrant (assuming
                  such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all
                  holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or
                  repurchase, and

                                       71
<PAGE>

                           (2) in the case of such rights or warrants all of
                  which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise,
                  the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and
                  warrants had never been issued.

         For purposes of this Section 12.4(d) and Sections 12.4(a), 12.4(b) and
12.4(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.4(d) is
applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, a subdivision or
combination of Common Stock to which Section 12.4(c) applies, or rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section
12.4(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be:

                           (3) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of
         indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants other
         than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or
         such rights or warrants to which Sections 12.4(a), 12.4(b) and 12.4(c)
         apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by
         this Section 12.4(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution
         shall then be made), immediately followed by

                           (4) a dividend or distribution of such shares of
         Common Stock, such subdivision or combination or such rights or
         warrants (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by
         Sections 12.4(a), 12.4(b) and 12.4(c) with respect to such dividend or
         distribution shall then be made), except:

                                    (A) the Record Date of such dividend or
                  distribution shall be substituted as (x) "the date fixed for
                  the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
                  dividend or other distribution", "Record Date fixed for such
                  determinations" and "Record Date" within the meaning of
                  Section 12.4(a), (y) "the day upon which such subdivision
                  becomes effective" and "the day upon which such combination
                  becomes effective" within the meaning of Section 12.4(b), and
                  (z) as "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders
                  entitled to receive such rights or warrants", "the Record Date
                  fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to
                  receive such rights or warrants" and such "Record Date" within
                  the meaning of Section 12.4(c), and

                                    (B) any shares of Common Stock included in
                  such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding
                  at the close of business on the date fixed for such
                  determination" within the meaning of Section 12.4(a) and any
                  reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock
                  resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be
                  disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution..

         (e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to
all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed
upon a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share
exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 12.11 hereof applies
or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 12.4(d) hereof), in an
aggregate amount that, combined together with:

                                       72
<PAGE>

                           (1) the aggregate amount of any other such
                  distributions to all holders of Common Stock made exclusively
                  in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of
                  such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment
                  pursuant to this Section 12.4(e) has been made, and

                           (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market
                  value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
                  determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board
                  Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender
                  offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any
                  portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months
                  preceding the date of such distribution, and in respect of
                  which no adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4(f) hereof has
                  been made,

exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided
in Section 12.4(g)) on the Record Date with respect to such distribution times
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then and in each
such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion
Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of
business on such Record Date by a fraction:

                     (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current
         Market Price on the Record Date less an amount equal to the quotient of
         (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number
         of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date, and

                     (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current
         Market Price on such date.

However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the
portion of the securities so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock
is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu
of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each
Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Security (or any
portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such
Holder converted such Security (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such
Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or
made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price
which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been
declared.

         (f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such
tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment
to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the
terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an
aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board
of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board
Resolution) that combined together with:

                                       73
<PAGE>

                           (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market
                  value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
                  determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board
                  Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of
                  consideration payable in respect of any other tender offers,
                  by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any
                  portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months
                  preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect
                  of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.4(f) has
                  been made, and

                           (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all
                  holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash
                  within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer
                  and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to Section
                  12.4(e) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the
                  Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section
                  12.4(g)) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders
                  could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may
                  be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock
                  outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration
                  Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the
                  opening of business on the day after the date of the
                  Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so
                  that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying
                  the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of
                  business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction:

                             (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of
                  shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered
                  shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Current
                  Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next
                  succeeding the Expiration Time, and

                             (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the
                  fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate
                  consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance
                  (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer)
                  of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the
                  Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such
                  maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y)
                  the product of the number of shares of Common Stock
                  outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) on the Expiration Time
                  and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the
                  Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time.

Such reduction (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening
of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the
Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but
the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such
purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again
be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such
tender offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 12.4(f) to
any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no
adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 12.4(f).

         (g) For purposes of this Section 12.4, the following terms shall have
the meanings indicated:

                           (1) "Current Market Price" shall mean the average of
                  the daily Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten
                  consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in
                  question; provided, however, that if:

                                      (i) the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined)
                           for any event (other than the issuance or
                           distribution requiring such computation) that
                           requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price
                           pursuant to Section 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or
                           (f) occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days,
                           the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the
                           "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by
                           multiplying such Closing Price by the same fraction
                           by which the Conversion Price is so required to be
                           adjusted as a result of such other event;

                                      (ii) the "ex" date for any event (other
                           than the issuance or distribution requiring such
                           computation) that requires an adjustment to the
                           Conversion Price pursuant to Section 12.4(a), (b),
                           (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the "ex" date
                           for the issuance or distribution requiring such
                           computation and prior to the day in question, the
                           Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the
                           "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by
                           multiplying such Closing Price by the reciprocal of
                           the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so
                           required to be adjusted as a result of such other
                           event; and

                                      (iii) the "ex" date for the issuance or
                           distribution requiring such computation is prior to
                           the day in question, after taking into account any
                           adjustment required pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of
                           this proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day
                           on or after such "ex" date shall be adjusted by
                           adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair
                           market value (as determined by the Board of Directors
                           in a manner consistent with any determination of such
                           value for purposes of Section 12.4(d) or (f), whose
                           determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a
                           Board Resolution) of the evidences of indebtedness,
                           shares of capital stock or assets being distributed
                           applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the
                           close of business on the day before such "ex" date.

For purposes of any computation under Section 12.4(f), the Current Market Price
of the Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily
Closing Prices per share of Common Stock for such day and the next two
succeeding Trading Days; provided, however, that if the "ex" date for any event
(other than the tender offer requiring such computation) that requires an
adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d),
(e) or (f) occurs on or after the Expiration Time for the tender or exchange
offer requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing
Price for each Trading Day on and after

                                       75
<PAGE>

the "ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing
Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so
required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term "ex" date, when used:

                           (A) with respect to any issuance or distribution,
                  means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular
                  way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from
                  which the Closing Price was obtained without the right to
                  receive such issuance or distribution;

                           (B) with respect to any subdivision or combination of
                  shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the
                  Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such
                  market after the time at which such subdivision or combination
                  becomes effective, and

                           (C) with respect to any tender or exchange offer,
                  means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular
                  way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration
                  Time of such offer.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the
         Conversion Price are called for pursuant to this Section 12.4, such
         adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be
         necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 12.4
         and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith
         by the Board of Directors.

                           (1) "fair market value" shall mean the amount which a
                  willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm's length
                  transaction.

                           (2) "Record Date" shall mean, with respect to any
                  dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which
                  the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any
                  cash, securities or other property or in which the Common
                  Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or
                  converted into any combination of cash, securities or other
                  property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders
                  entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property
                  (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by
                  statute, contract or otherwise).

         (h) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in
addition to those required by Sections 12.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f), as
the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income
tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from
any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any
event treated as such for income tax purposes.

         To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to
time may reduce the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the
period is at least 20 days and the reduction is irrevocable during the period
and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such reduction would be
in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be

                                       76
<PAGE>

conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution. Whenever the Conversion Price is
reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the
Trustee and each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the
Register a notice of the reduction at least 15 days prior to the date the
reduced Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced
Conversion Price and the period during which it will be in effect.

         (i) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price;
provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 12.4(i)
are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article 12 shall be made
by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one
hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for a
change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock.

         (j) In any case in which this Section 12.4 provides that an adjustment
shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company
may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any
Security converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such
event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by
reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii)
paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to
Section 12.3 hereof.

         (k) For purposes of this Section 12.4, the number of shares of Common
Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of
the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates
issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay
any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the
treasury of the Company.

         (l) If the distribution date for the rights provided in the Company's
rights agreement, if any, occurs prior to the date a Security is converted, the
Holder of the Security who converts such Security after the distribution date is
not entitled to receive the rights that would otherwise be attached (but for the
date of conversion) to the shares of Common Stock received upon such conversion;
provided, however, that an adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price
pursuant to clause 12.4(b) as if the rights were being distributed to the common
stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such conversion. If such an
adjustment is made and the rights are later redeemed, invalidated or terminated,
then a corresponding reversing adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price,
on an equitable basis, to take account of such event.

         SECTION 12.5 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS OF CONVERSION PRICE.

         Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided (other
than in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph of Section
12.4(h) for which the notice required by such paragraph has been provided), the
Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than
the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price
and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
Promptly after delivery of such Officers' Certificate, the Company shall prepare
a notice

                                       77
<PAGE>

stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the
adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which each adjustment becomes
effective, and shall mail such notice to each Holder at the address of such
Holder as it appears in the Register within 20 days of the effective date of
such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not effect the legality or
validity of any such adjustment.

         SECTION 12.6 NOTICE PRIOR TO CERTAIN ACTIONS.

         In case at any time after the date hereof:

                           (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any
         other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash
         out of its capital surplus or its consolidated retained earnings;

                           (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to the
         holders of its Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or
         purchase any shares of capital stock of any class (or of securities
         convertible into shares of capital stock of any class) or of any other
         rights;

                           (3) there shall occur any reclassification of the
         Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of
         its outstanding Common Stock, a change in par value, a change from par
         value to no par value or a change from no par value to par value), or
         any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination to
         which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders
         of the Company is required, or the sale, transfer or conveyance of all
         or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

                           (4) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary
         dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the
purpose of conversion of securities pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, and shall
cause to be provided to the Trustee and all Holders in accordance with Section
14.2 hereof, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (1) or
(2) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating:

                                    (A) the date on which a record is to be
                  taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights
                  or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as
                  of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled
                  to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be
                  determined, or

                                    (B) the date on which such reclassification,
                  merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination,
                  sale, transfer, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
                  winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of
                  which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record
                  shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
                  securities, cash or other

                                       78
<PAGE>

                  property deliverable upon such reclassification, merger,
                  consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer,
                  dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

         Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall
affect the legality or validity of the proceedings or actions described in
clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 12.6.

         SECTION 12.7 COMPANY TO RESERVE COMMON STOCK.

         The Company shall at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep
available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued
Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the
full number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock then issuable
upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities.

         SECTION 12.8 TAXES ON CONVERSIONS.

         Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and
all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect
of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities
pursuant hereto. A Holder delivering a Security for conversion shall be liable
for and will be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in
a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be
converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless the Person
requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or
duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or
duty has been paid.

         SECTION 12.9 COVENANT AS TO COMMON STOCK.

         The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be
issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and
nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 12.8, the Company will pay all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

         SECTION 12.10 CANCELLATION OF CONVERTED SECURITIES.

         All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the
Trustee to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall
dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.9.

         SECTION 12.11 EFFECT OF RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR
                       SALE.

         If any of following events occur, namely:

                                    (i) any reclassification or change of the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par
                  value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value
                  to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),

                                       79
<PAGE>

                                    (ii) any merger, consolidation, statutory
                  share exchange or combination of the Company with another
                  corporation as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall
                  be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or
                  assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for
                  such Common Stock or

                                    (iii) any sale or conveyance of the
                  properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as,
                  an entirety to any other corporation as a result of which
                  holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
                  securities or other property or assets (including cash) with
                  respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock,

the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be,
shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with
the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if
such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that such
Security shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities or property or assets (including cash) which such Holder would
have been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, merger,
consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had
such Securities been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange,
combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not
exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities,
cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, statutory
share exchange, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of
securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation,
statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of
Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been
exercised ("Non-Electing Share"), then for the purposes of this Section 12.11
the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such
merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance for each
Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per
share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). Such supplemental indenture
shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 12. If, in the case
of any such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share
exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and
assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes
shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such
reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange,
combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be
executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions
to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of
Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing,
including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the Repurchase
Rights set forth in Article 13 hereof.

         The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental
indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it
appears on the Register, within 20 days

                                       80

after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the
legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

         The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to
successive reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share
exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.

         If this Section 12.11 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 12.4
hereof shall not apply.

         SECTION 12.12 RESPONSIBILITY OF TRUSTEE FOR CONVERSION PROVISIONS.

         The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, and any
Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to
any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require
any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or intent
of any such adjustments when made, or with respect to the method employed, or
herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the
same. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, nor
any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value
(of the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or
property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of
any Security; and it or they do not make any representation with respect
thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof,
nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to
make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of stock or
share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any
Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, and any Conversion Agent shall not be
responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the
covenants of the Company contained in this Article.

                                   ARTICLE 13

                                  SUBORDINATION

         SECTION 13.1 SECURITIES SUBORDINATED TO SENIOR DEBT.

         The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities, by
such Holder's acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the
Indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on each
and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated and junior, to the
extent and in the manner set forth and as set forth in this Section 13.1, in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt.

         (a) In the event of any distribution of assets of the Company upon any
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether
in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets
and liabilities of the Company or otherwise, the holders of all Senior Debt
shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon in
respect of all such Senior Debt and all other amounts due or provision shall be
made for such amount in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders of
Senior Debt, before the Holders of any of the Securities are entitled to receive
any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or
other property, on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest
(including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Indebtedness evidenced by the
Securities.

         (b) In the event of any acceleration of Maturity of the Securities
because of an Event of Default, unless the full amount due in respect of all
Senior Debt is paid in cash or other form of payment satisfactory to the holders
of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if
any) on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any
redemption, conversion or cash repurchase pursuant to the exercise of the
Repurchase Right), and the Company shall give prompt written notice of such
acceleration to such holders of Senior Debt.

         (c) In the event of and during the continuance of any default in
payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other
payment obligation in respect of, any Senior Debt, unless all such payments due
in respect of such Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash or other payments
satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the
Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest
(including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Securities or to acquire any of
the Securities (including any redemption, conversion or cash repurchase pursuant
to the exercise of the Repurchase Right). The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any default under any Senior Debt or under any
agreement pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued.

         (d) During the continuance of any event of default with respect to any
Designated Senior Debt, as such event of default is defined under any such
Designated Senior Debt or in any agreement pursuant to which any Designated
Senior Debt has been issued (other than a default in payment of the principal of
or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligation in

                                       82
<PAGE>

respect of any Designated Senior Debt), permitting the holder or holders of such
Designated Senior Debt to accelerate the maturity thereof (or in the case of any
lease, permitting the landlord either to terminate the lease or to require the
Company to make an irrevocable offer to terminate the lease following an event
of default thereunder), no payment shall be made by the Company, directly or
indirectly, with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest
(including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Securities for 179 days following
notice in writing (a "Payment Blockage Notice") to the Company, from any holder
or holders of such Designated Senior Debt or their representative or
representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture or under which
any instrument evidencing any such Designated Senior Debt may have been issued,
that such an event of default has occurred and is continuing, unless such event
of default has been cured or waived or such Designated Senior Debt has been paid
in full; provided, however, if the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt is
accelerated (or in the case of any lease, as a result of such event of default,
the landlord under the lease has given the Company notice of its intention to
terminate the lease or to require the Company to make an irrevocable offer to
terminate the lease), no payment may be made on the Securities until such
Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or other payment
satisfactory to the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or such acceleration
(or termination, in the case of a lease) has been cured or waived.

         For purposes of this Section 13.1(d), such Payment Blockage Notice
shall be deemed to include notice of all other events of default under such
indenture or instrument which are continuing at the time of the event of default
specified in such Payment Blockage Notice. The provisions of this Section
13.1(d) shall apply only to one such Payment Blockage Notice given in any period
of 365 days with respect to any issue of Designated Senior Debt, and no such
continuing event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of
delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice shall be, or shall be made, the basis
for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.

         (e) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
Sections 13.1(a), 13.1(b), 13.1(c) and 13.1(d), any payment on account of
principal, premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any)
on the Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Company and received by
the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting
as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment shall be segregated and held
in trust):

                           (i) after the occurrence of an event specified in
         Section 13.1(a) or 13.1(b), then, unless all Senior Debt is paid in
         full in cash, or provision shall be made therefor,

                           (ii)after the happening of an event of default of the
         type specified in Section 13.1(c) above, then, unless the amount of
         such Senior Debt then due shall have been paid in full, or provision
         made therefor or such event of default shall have been cured or waived,
         or

                           (iii) after the happening of an event of default of
         the type specified in Section 13.1(d) above and delivery of a Payment
         Blockage Notice, then, unless such

                                       83
<PAGE>

         event of default shall have been cured or waived or the 179-day period
         specified in Section 13.1(d) shall have expired,

such payment (subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 13.7 hereof)
shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over
to, the holders of Designated Senior Debt (unless an event described in Section
13.1(a), (b) or (c) has occurred, in which case the payment shall be held in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over to all holders of
Senior Debt) or their representative or representatives or the trustee or
trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of the
Designated Senior Debt or Senior Debt, as the case may be, may have been issued,
as their interests may appear.

         SECTION 13.2 SUBROGATION.

         Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt to which the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is in the circumstances subordinated as
provided in Section 13.1 hereof, the Holders of the Securities shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments
or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to
such Senior Debt until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in
full, and, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such
Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, no such payment or distribution
made to the holders of Senior Debt by virtue of this Article which otherwise
would have been made to the holders of the Securities shall be deemed to be a
payment by the Company on account of such Senior Debt, provided that the
provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand,
and the holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand.

         SECTION 13.3 OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY IS ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL.

         Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its
creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the
Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Securities as and
when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities
and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt, nor shall
anything contained herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any
Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article
of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the
Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

         SECTION 13.4 MATURITY OF OR DEFAULT ON SENIOR DEBT.

         Upon the maturity of any Senior Debt by lapse of time, acceleration or
otherwise, all principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other
payment obligations in respect of all such matured Senior Debt shall first be
paid in full, or such payment shall have been duly

                                       84
<PAGE>

provided for, before any payment on account of principal, or premium, if any, or
interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) is made upon the Securities.

         SECTION 13.5 PAYMENTS ON SECURITIES PERMITTED.

         Except as expressly provided in this Article, nothing contained in this
Article shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the
Company from making, payments of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Securities in accordance
with the provisions hereof and thereof, or shall prevent the Trustee or any
Paying Agent from applying any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment
of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated
Damages, if any) on the Securities.

         SECTION 13.6 EFFECTUATION OF SUBORDINATION BY TRUSTEE.

         Each Holder of Securities, by such Holder's acceptance thereof,
authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action
as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in
this Article and appoints the Trustee such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and
all such purposes.

         Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled
to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in
which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding
affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the
trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the right of such Persons under
this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Persons pending judicial determination as to the right of such
Persons to receive such payment.

         SECTION 13.7 KNOWLEDGE OF TRUSTEE.

         Notwithstanding the provision of this Article or any other provisions
of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the
existence of any Senior Debt, of any default in payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligation in respect of
any Senior Debt, or of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment
of moneys to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the
Trustee, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee having responsibility for
the administration of the trust established by this Indenture shall have
received written notice thereof from the Company, any Holder of Securities, any
Paying or Conversion Agent of the Company or the holder or representative of any
class of Senior Debt, and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the
Trustee shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such default or
facts exist; provided, however, that unless on the third Business Day prior to
the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for
any purpose the Trustee shall have received the notice provided for in this
Section 13.7, then, anything herein contained to the contrary

                                       85
<PAGE>

notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such
moneys and apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or
after such date.

         SECTION 13.8 TRUSTEE'S RELATION TO SENIOR DEBT.

         The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article with respect to any Senior Debt at the time held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior Debt and nothing in this Indenture shall
deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

         Nothing contained in this Article shall apply to claims of or payments
to the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof.

         With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to
perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or obligations
with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty
to the holders of Senior Debt and the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder
of Senior Debt if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders, the Company or any
other Person moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

         SECTION 13.9 RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT NOT IMPAIRED.

         No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce
the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any
noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with.

         SECTION 13.10 MODIFICATION OF TERMS OF SENIOR DEBT.

         Any renewal or extension of the time of payment of any Senior Debt or
the exercise by the holders of Senior Debt of any of their rights under any
instrument creating or evidencing Senior Debt, including without limitation the
waiver of default thereunder, may be made or done all without notice to or
assent from the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee.

         No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal
or other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in respect of, any
liability or obligation under or in respect of, or of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of any indenture or other instrument under which any
Senior Debt is outstanding or of such Senior Debt, whether or not such release
is in accordance with the provisions or any applicable document, shall in any
way alter or affect any of the provisions of this Article or of the Securities
relating to the subordination thereof.

         SECTION 13.11 CERTAIN CONVERSIONS NOT DEEMED PAYMENT.

         For the purposes of this Article 13 only:

                                       86
<PAGE>

                           (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities
                  upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Article 12
                  hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or
                  distribution on account of the principal of, premium, if any,
                  or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on
                  Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition
                  of Securities, and

                           (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except
                  in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 12.3
                  hereof), property or securities (other than junior securities)
                  upon conversion of a Security shall be deemed to constitute
                  payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or
                  interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on such
                  Security.

For the purposes of this Section 13.11, the term "junior securities" means:

                  (a)      shares of any common stock of the Company or

                  (b) other securities of the Company that are subordinated in
         right of payment to all Senior Debt that may be outstanding at the time
         of issuance or delivery of such securities to substantially the same
         extent as, or to a greater extent that, the Securities are so
         subordinated as provided in this Article.

Nothing contained in this Article 13 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the
Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors
(other than holders of Senior Debt) and the Holders of Securities, the right,
which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert
such Security in accordance with Article 12 hereof.

                  (1) one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor
         signed by such Holders in person or by agent or proxy duly appointed in
         writing;

                  (2) the record of Holders of Securities voting in favor
         thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at
         any meeting of Holders of Securities duly called and held in accordance
         with the provisions of Article 8; or

                  (3) a combination of such instruments and any such record.

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to
the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments and record (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders
of Securities signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at such
meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent or proxy, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 5.1 hereof)

future Holder of the same Security and

                                       89
<PAGE>

the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or
in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or
suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether
or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

         SECTION 14.5 CERTIFICATE AND OPINION AS TO CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

         In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

         Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, unless such
officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the
Opinion of Counsel with respect to the matters upon which such certificate or

any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been

Counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except
that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing
of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture
relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or
opinion need be furnished.

                              [REVERSE OF SECURITY]

                        INHALE THERAPEUTIC SYSTEMS, INC.

                    5% Convertible Subordinated Note due 2007

         Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1.   Principal and Interest.

         Inhale Therapeutic Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at
the Interest Rate from the date of issuance until repayment at Maturity,
redemption or repurchase. The Company will pay interest on this Security
semiannually in arrears on February 8 and August 8 of each year (each an
"Interest Payment Date"), commencing August 8, 2000.

         Interest on the Securities shall be computed (i) for any full
semiannual period for which a particular Interest Rate is applicable on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and (ii) for any period for
which a particular Interest Rate is applicable shorter than a full semiannual
period for which interest is calculated, on the basis of a 30-day month and, for
such periods of less than a month, the actual number of days elapsed over a
30-day month.

         A Holder of any Security at the close of business on a Regular Record
Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Security on the corresponding
Interest Payment Date. A Holder of any Security which is converted after the
close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the corresponding
Interest Payment Date (other than any Security whose Maturity is prior to such
Interest Payment Date) shall be entitled to receive interest on the principal
amount of such Security, notwithstanding the conversion of such Security prior
to such Interest Payment Date. However, any such Holder which surrenders any
such Security for conversion during the period between the close of business on
such Regular Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required to pay the Company an
amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Security so
converted, which is payable by the Company to such Holder on such Interest
Payment Date, at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder which surrenders for conversion
any Security which has been called for redemption by the Company in a notice of
redemption given by the Company pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Indenture shall
be entitled to receive (and retain) such interest and need not pay the Company
an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Security so
converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Security for conversion.

         In accordance with the terms of the Resale Registration Rights
Agreement, dated February 8, 2000, between the Company and Merrill Lynch & Co.,
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Deutsche Bank Securities
Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Inc., during the first
90 days following a Registration Default (as defined in the

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

Resale Registration Rights Agreement), the Interest Rate borne by the Securities
shall be increased by 0.25% on:

                  (A) May 9, 2000, if the shelf registration statement (the
         "Shelf Registration Statement") is not filed prior to or on May 8,
         2000;

                  (B) August 7, 2000, if the Shelf Registration Statement is not
         declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to
         or on August 4, 2000;

                  (C) the day after the fifth Business Day after the Shelf
         Registration Statement, previously declared effective, ceases to be
         effective or fails to be usable, if a post-effective amendment (or
         report filed pursuant to the Exchange Act) that cures the Shelf
         Registration Statement is not filed with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission during such five Business Day period; or

                  (D) the day following the 45th or 60th day, as the case may
         be, of any period that the prospectus contained in the Shelf
         Registration Statement has been suspended, if such suspension has not
         been terminated.

From and after the 91st day following such Registration Default, the Interest
Rate borne by the Securities shall be increased by 0.50%. In no event shall the
Interest Rate borne by the Securities be increased by more than 0.50%.

         Any amount of additional interest will be payable in cash semiannually,
in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date and will cease to accrue on the date
the Registration Default is cured. The Holder of this Security is entitled to
the benefits of the Resale Registration Rights Agreement.

2.   Method of Payment.

         Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in
whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

         Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, Global Securities
will be payable to the Depositary in immediately available funds.

         Principal and premium, if any, on Physical Securities will be payable
at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, initially
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Interest on Physical Securities will
be payable by (i) U.S. Dollar check drawn on a bank in The City of New York
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Register, or (ii) upon application to the Registrar not later than
the relevant Record Date by a Holder of an aggregate principal amount in excess
of $5,000,000, wire transfer in immediately available funds.

                                      A-6
<PAGE>

3.   Paying Agent and Registrar.

         Initially, Chase Manhattan Bank and Trust Company, National
Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without notice
to any Holder.

4.   Indenture.

         The Company issued this Security under an Indenture, dated as of
February 8, 2000 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Chase Manhattan Bank
and Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The terms
of the Security include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended ("TIA").
This Security is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this
Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall
control.

5.   Provisional Redemption.

         The Securities may be redeemed at the election of the Company, as a
whole or from time to time in part or any date, at any time prior to February 8,
2003 (a "Provisional Redemption"), at a Redemption Price equal to $1,000 per
$1,000 principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to but excluding the date of redemption (the "Provisional Redemption Date")
if (i) the Closing Price of the Common Stock has exceeded 150% of the Conversion
Price (as may be adjusted from time to time) then in effect for at least 20
trading Days in any consecutive 30-Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day
prior to the date of mailing of the provisional notice of redemption upon not
less than 20 nor more than 60 days notice (the "Notice Date'), and (ii) a
registration statement covering resales of the Securities and Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion thereof is effective and available for use and is
expected to remain effective for the 30 days following the Provisional
Redemption Date.

         Upon any such Provisional Redemption, the Company shall make an
additional payment in cash (the "Make-Whole Payment") to holders of the
Securities called for redemption, including those Securities converted into
Common Stock between the Notice Date and the Provisional Redemption Date, in an
amount equal to $137.93 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, less the
amount of any interest actually paid on the Securities before the Notice Date.

6.   Optional Redemption.

         Except as provided above, this Security is not redeemable prior to
February 8, 2003. This Security may be redeemed in whole or in part, upon not
less than 20 nor more than 60 days' notice, at any time on or after February 8,
2003, at the option of the Company, at the Redemption Prices (expressed as
percentages of the principal amount) set forth below, plus any interest accrued
but unpaid to the Redemption Date.

</TABLE>

         Securities in original denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed
in part. If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part
before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the
Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed to
be the portion selected for redemption (provided, however, that the Holder of
such Security so converted and deemed redeemed shall not be entitled to any
additional interest payment as a result of such deemed redemption than such
Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive upon conversion of such
Security). Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities
to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of
such selection.

         On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on
Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption, unless the Company
defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price.

         Notice of redemption will be given by the Company to the Holders as
provided in the Indenture.

7.   Repurchase Right Upon a Change of Control.

         If a Change in Control occurs, the Holder of Securities, at the
Holder's option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase the Securities (or any portion
of the principal amount hereof that is at least $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof, provided that the portion of the principal amount of this Security to
be Outstanding after such repurchase is at least equal to $1,000) at the
Repurchase Price in cash, plus any interest accrued and unpaid to the Repurchase
Date.

         Subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, the Company may
elect to pay the Repurchase Price by delivering a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to (i) the Repurchase Price divided by (ii) 95% of the average of
the Closing Prices per share for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately
preceding and including the third Trading Day prior to the Repurchase Date.

         No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon repurchase of
any Securities. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would
otherwise be issued upon conversion of such Securities, the Company shall pay a
cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.

                                      A-8
<PAGE>

         A Company Notice will be given by the Company to the Holders as
provided in the Indenture. To exercise a repurchase Right, a Holder must deliver
to the Trustee a written notice as provided in the Indenture.

8.   Conversion Rights.

         Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture,
the Holder of Securities is entitled, at such Holder's option, at any time
before the close of business on February 8, 2007, to convert the Holder's
Securities (or any portion of the principal amount hereof which is $1,000 or an
integral multiple thereof), at the principal amount thereof or of such portion,
into duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the
Company at the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion.

         In the case of a Security (or a portion thereof) called for redemption,
such conversion right in respect of the Security (or such portion thereof) so
called, shall expire at the close of business on the second Business Day
preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment
due upon redemption. In the case of a Change of Control for which the Holder
exercises its Repurchase Right with respect to a Security (or a portion
thereof), such conversion right in respect of the Security (or portion thereof)
shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the
Repurchase Date.

         The Conversion Price shall be initially equal to $76.71 per share of
Common Stock. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted under certain circumstances
as provided in the Indenture.

         To exercise the conversion right, the Holder must surrender the
Security (or portion thereof) duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in
blank, at the office of the Conversion Agent, accompanied by a duly signed
conversion notice to the Company. Any Security surrendered for conversion during
the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening
of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security
whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date), shall also be
accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds
acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the Securities being
surrendered for conversion.

         No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of
any Securities. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would
otherwise be issued upon conversion of such Securities, the Company shall pay a
cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.

9.   Subordination.

         The Indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent and in
the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinated and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of all amounts then due on all Senior Debt
of the Company, and this Security is issued subject to such provisions of the
Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the
same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and
directs the Trustee

                                      A-9
<PAGE>

on such Holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee such
Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

10.  Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

         The Securities are issuable in registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A
Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Securities in accordance with
the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may
require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
Indenture.

         In the event of a redemption in part, the Company will not be required
(a) to register the transfer of, or exchange, Securities for a period of 15 days
immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of
the Securities called for such redemption, or (b) to register the transfer of,
or exchange, any such Securities, or portion thereof, called for redemption.

         In the event of redemption, conversion or repurchase of the Securities
in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed, unconverted or
unrepurchased portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof.

11.  Persons Deemed Owners.

         The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as its owner
for all purposes.

12.  Unclaimed Money.

         The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company any money
held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that
remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such payment shall
have become due. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the money
must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable
abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the
Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

13.  Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

         Subject to certain conditions contained in the Indenture, the Company
may discharge its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if (1) (a)
all of the Outstanding Securities shall become due and payable at their
scheduled Maturity within one year or (b) all of the Outstanding Securities are
scheduled for redemption within one year, and (2) the Company shall have
deposited with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient
to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, all of the
Outstanding Securities on the date of Maturity or redemption, as the case may
be.

14.  Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at
any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or such
lesser amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of the
Indenture). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance
by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver
by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or
such other Security.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on this Security at the times,
places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert
this Security (or pay cash in lieu of conversion) as provided in the Indenture.

15.  Defaults and Remedies.

         The Indenture provides that an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities occurs when any of the following occurs:

                  (a) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of or
         premium, if any, on any of the Securities when it becomes due and
         payable at Maturity, upon redemption or exercise of a Repurchase Right
         or otherwise, whether or not such payment is prohibited by the
         subordination provisions of Article 13 of the Indenture;

                  (b) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any of
         the Securities when it becomes due and payable and such default
         continues for a period of 30 days, whether or not such payment is
         prohibited by the subordination provisions of Article 13 of the
         Indenture;

                  (c) the Company fails to perform or observe any other term,
         covenant or agreement contained in the Securities or the Indenture and
         such default continues for a period of 60 days after written notice of
         such failure is given as specified in the Indenture;

                  (d) (i) the Company fails to make any payment by the end of
         the applicable grace period, if any, after the maturity of any
         Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $5,000,000
         (provided that such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default if
         (1) the Company determines, in good faith, that a lessor under a lease
         described in clause (3)(a) of the definition of Indebtedness set forth
         in the

                                      A-11
<PAGE>

         Indenture breached a covenant under the lease and the Company has given
         notice of the breach to the lessor and the Trustee and (2) as a result
         of the breach, the Company withholds payment under the lease) (a
         "Default Exception"), or (ii) there is an acceleration of any
         Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $5,000,000
         because of a default with respect to such Indebtedness (other than a
         Default Exception) without such Indebtedness having been discharged or
         such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in
         the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, for a period of 30 days
         after written notice is given to the Company as specified in the
         Indenture; and

                  (e) there are certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
         reorganization of the Company.

         If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of
all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture.

16.  Authentication.

         This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee (or authenticating
agent) executes the certificate of authentication on the other side of this
Security.

17.  Abbreviations.

         Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the

Act).

18.  Additional Rights of Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities.

         In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture,
Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall have all the rights set forth in
the Registration Rights Agreement.

19.  CUSIP Numbers.

         Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be
printed on this Security and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on this Security or as contained in
any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers placed thereon.

20.  Governing Law.

accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

<PAGE>

THIS SUBLEASE ("SUBLEASE") dated as of November 3, 1999, is made between
WEBVAN GROUP, INC., a California corporation ("SUBLESSOR"), and INHALE
THERAPEUTIC SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("SUBLESSEE").

                                   RECITALS

A.  Sublessor is the lessee under "Standard Form Industrial Net Lease" dated
    as of March 20, 1998 (hereinafter, the "MASTER LEASE"), pursuant to which
    Harbor Belmont Associates, a California General Partnership ("MASTER
    LESSOR") leased to Intelligent Systems for Retail, Inc., (prior name of
    Webvan Group, Inc.), a California Corporation, the real property located
    in the City of Belmont, County of San Mateo, State of California,
    described as 260 Harbor Boulevard (the "MASTER PREMISES").

B.  The Master Lease has been amended by the following amendments: Amendment
    to Lease dated June 4, 1998; Amendment No. 2 to Lease dated
    December 4, 1998; and Amendment No. 3 to Lease dated December 31, 1998.

C.  The Master Lease, together with any amendments, are collectively referred
    to as the "MASTER LEASE."

D.  A copy of the Master Lease and all amendments thereto, with certain
    confidential information having been omitted, is attached and
    incorporated in this Sublease as Exhibit A.

                             SECTION 1. SUBLEASE.

Sublessor subleases to Sublessee on the terms and conditions in this Sublease
the following portion of the Master Premises ("SUBLEASED PREMISES"):
Approximately 7,985 rentable square feet of office / R&D space in a building
consisting of approximately 29,425 rentable square feet, which is part of a
Project consisting of 212,000 square feet, of which Sublessee's Percentage
Share is 3.77%.

In addition, Sublessee shall have the right to use all of the parking spaces
allocated to Sublessor pursuant to the original Master Lease, pursuant to the
provisions of Section 8 of the Addendum thereto

The parties hereto acknowledge that Amendments No. 2 and No. 3 to the Master
Lease added additional premises ("ADDITIONAL PREMISES") to the original
Master Premises. These Additional Premises are not included in the Subleased
Premises, nor are the terms and conditions of Amendments No. 2 or No. 3
incorporated into this Sublease.

                      SECTION 2. WARRANTY BY SUBLESSOR

Sublessor warrants to Sublessee that the Master Lease is in full force and
effect; has not been amended or modified except as expressly set forth in
this Sublease; that neither the Master Lessor nor the Sublessor is now, and
as of the commencement of the Term (defined in this Sublease) of this
Sublease will not be, in default or breach of any of the provisions of the
Master Lease; and that Sublessor has no knowledge of any claim by Master
Lessor that Sublessor is in default or breach of any of the provisions of the
Master Lease. Sublessor agrees to keep the Master Lease in effect during the
entire Term of this Sublease Agreement (subject, however, to any earlier
termination of the Master Lease which is not the fault of the Sublessor), and
to comply with and perform all of Sublessor's obligations under the Master
Lease that Sublessee is not obligated to perform as part of Sublessee's
obligations under this Sublease Agreement.

                               SECTION 3. TERM.

The term of this Sublease (the "TERM") will commence on the later of December
1, 1999 ("COMMENCEMENT DATE"), or when Master Lessor consents to this
Sublease, whichever occurs later, and end on June 30, 2003 ("TERMINATION
DATE"), unless terminated sooner in accordance with the provisions of this
Sublease. If the Term commences on a date other than the Commencement Date,
Sublessor and Sublessee will execute a memorandum setting forth the actual
date of commencement of the Term. Possession of the Subleased Premises
("POSSESSION") will be delivered to Sublessee on the commencement of the
Term. If for any reason Sublessor does not deliver Possession to Sublessee on
the Commencement of the Term, Sublessor will not be subject to any liability
for this failure, the Termination Date will not be extended by the delay, and
the validity of this Sublease will not be impaired. Rent will be abated until
delivery of Possession. However, if Sublessor has not delivered Possession to
Sublessee within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, at any time
after that and before delivery of Possession, Sublessee may give written
notice to Sublessor of Sublessee's intention to cancel this Sublease. The
notice will set forth an effective date for the cancellation, which will be
at least ten (10) days after delivery of notice to Sublessor. If Sublessor
delivers Possession to Sublessee on or before this effective date, this
Sublease will remain in full force. If Sublessor fails to deliver Possession
to Sublessee on or before this effective date, this Sublease will be
canceled. Upon cancellation, all consideration previously paid by Sublessee
to Sublessor on account of this Sublease will be returned to Sublessee, this
Sublease will have no further force, and Sublessor will have no further
liability to Sublessee because of this delay or cancellation. If Sublessor
permits Sublessee to take Possession prior to the commencement of the Term,
the early Possession will not advance the Termination Date and will be
subject to the provisions of this Sublease, including, without limitation,
the payment of rent.

                               SECTION 4. RENT.

(a) BASE RENT. Sublessee will pay to Sublessor as Base Rent, without
    deduction, setoff, notice, or demand, at 1241 E. Hillsdale Boulevard,
    Suite 210, Foster City, CA 94404, or at any other place Sublessor
    designates by notice to Sublessee, the sum of $19,164.00 for Months
    1-12 of the Sublease, and thereafter such Base Rent as adjusted
    pursuant to subsection (b) below, in advance of the first day of each
    month of the Term. Sublessee will pay to Sublessor on execution of this
    Sublease the sum of $19,164 as Base Rent for December 1-31, 1999. If the
    Term begins or ends on a day other than the first or last day of a
    month, the Base Rent for the partial months will be prorated on a per diem
    basis.

(b) BASE RENT ADJUSTMENTS: Beginning on the first anniversary of the Sublease
    Commencement Date and on each successive anniversary thereafter during the
    Sublease Term ("ADJUSTMENT DATE"), Base Rent shall be increased by
    one-hundred percent (100%) of the percentage of increase, if any, shown by
    the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, San Francisco Bay Area,
    All Items (base years 1982-1984 = 100) ("INDEX"), published by the United
    States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the month
    immediately preceding the Adjustment Date as compared with the Index for
    the same month in the immediately preceding calendar year; provided,
    however, that Base Rent shall be increased by not less than three percent
    (3%) per year nor more than six percent (6%) per year. Sublessor shall
    calculate the amount of this increase in Base Rent after the United States
    Department of Labor publishes the statistics on which the amount of the
    increase will be based. Sublessor shall give written notice of the amount
    of the increase, multiplied by the number of installments of rent due
    under this Lease since the Adjustment Date. Sublessee shall pay this
    amount, together with the monthly rent next becoming due under this
    Sublease, and shall thereafter pay the monthly rent due under this
    Sublease at this increased rate, which shall constitute Base Rent.
    Sublessor's failure to make the required

Sublease
11/16/99
Page 4 of 12

<PAGE>

    calculations promptly shall not be considered a waiver of
    Sublessor's rights to adjust the monthly rent due, nor shall it
    affect Sublessee's obligations to pay the increased Base Rent. If
    the Index is changed so that the base year differs from that in
    effect on the Sublease Commencement Date, the Index shall be
    converted in accordance with the conversion factor published by the
    United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If
    the Index is discontinued or revised during the Sublease Term, the
    government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be
    used to obtain substantially the same result as if the Index had not
    been discontinued or revised.

(c) OPERATING COSTS. The parties acknowledge that the Master Lease
    requires Sublessor to pay to Master Lessor a portion of the expenses
    of operating the project of which the Subleased Premises are a part
    (collectively, "OPERATING COSTS"), including, but not limited to,
    taxes, utilities, or insurance. During the Term of this Sublease,
    Sublessee will pay to Sublessor as additional rent one hundred
    percent (100%) of the amounts payable by Sublessor for Operating
    Costs incurred during the Term for the Subleased Premises. This
    additional rent will be payable as and when Operating Costs are
    payable by Sublessor to Master Lessor. If the Master Lease provides
    for payment by Sublessor of Operating Costs on the basis of an
    estimate, then as and when adjustments between estimated and actual
    Operating Costs for the Subleased Premises are made under the Master
    Lease, the obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee will be adjusted
    in the same manner. If this adjustment occurs after the expiration
    or earlier termination of the Term, the obligations of Sublessor and
    Sublessee under this Subsection will survive this expiration or
    termination. Sublessor will, on request by Sublessee, furnish
    Sublessee with copies of all statements submitted by Master Lessor
    of the actual or estimated Operating Costs during the Term.

                      SECTION 5. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Sublessee will deposit with Sublessor on execution of this Sublease the
sum of Twenty Thousand ($20,000.00) Dollars as security for Sublessee's
faithful performance of Sublessee's obligations under this Sublease
("SECURITY DEPOSIT"). If Sublessee fails to pay rent or other charges
when due under this Sublease, or fails to perform any obligations under
this Sublease, Sublessor may use any portion of the Security Deposit for
the payment of any rent or other amount then due and unpaid, for the
payment of any other sum for which Sublessor may become obligated
because of Sublessee's default or breach, or for any loss sustained by
Sublessor as a result of Sublessee's default or breach. If Sublessor
uses any portion of the Security Deposit, Sublessee will, within ten
(10) days after written demand by Sublessor, restore the Security
Deposit to the full amount originally deposited. Sublessee's failure to
do so will constitute a default under this Sublease. Sublessor will not
be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general
accounts, and will have no obligation or liability for payment of
interest on the Security Deposit. If Sublessor assigns its interest in
this Sublease, Sublessor will deliver to its assignee as much of the
Security Deposit as Sublessor then holds. Within ten (10) days after the
Term has expired or Sublessee has vacated the Subleased Premises or any
final adjustment pursuant to Subsection 4(b) of this Sublease has been
made, whichever occurs last, and provided that Sublessee is not then in
default under this Sublease, the Security Deposit, or as much as remains
that has not been applied by Sublessor, will be returned to Sublessee or
to the last assignee, if any, of Sublessee's interest under this
Sublease.

                     SECTION 6. USE OF PREMISES.

The Subleased Premises will be used and occupied only for office,
administration, marketing, and all related legal uses, all subject to
Master Lessor's approval; and for no other use or purpose.

Sublease
11/16/99

<PAGE>

                     SECTION 7. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

Sublessee will not assign this Sublease or further sublet all or any
part of the Subleased Premises without the prior written consent of
Sublessor (and the consent of Master Lessor, if this is required under
the terms of the Master Lease).

The foregoing notwithstanding, Sublessee shall be entitled to assign or
sublease the Subleased Premises without the consent of Sublessor to any
Affiliated Company of Sublessee, meaning any corporation which controls,
is controlled by, or is under common control with Sublessee, or to any
corporation resulting from a merger or consolidation with Sublessee, or
to any person or entity which acquires all, or substantially all, of the
assets of Sublessee as a going concern, provided that any such assignee
assumes, in full, the obligations of Sublessee under this Sublease
Agreement, and provided further that Sublessee shall not be released
from its obligations under or liabilities arising out of this Sublease
Agreement.

The above provision notwithstanding, Sublessee shall be required to
secure Master Lessor's consent to any subsequent assignment or
subletting to the full extent as required under the Master Lease, whose
terms and provisions are expressly incorporated herein.

                    SECTION 8.  OTHER PROVISIONS OF SUBLEASE.

(a)  All applicable terms and conditions of the Master Lease are
     incorporated into and made a part of this Sublease as if Sublessor
     were the Lessor, Sublessee the lessee, and the Subleased Premises
     the Master Premises, except for the following:  Section 2; Section 3
     (but only to the extent that the Base Rent payable under the Master
     Lease differs from the Rent set forth herein); Section 32; Section
     38; Section 39; Addendum Sections 1-3, Section 5, Addendum Sections
     9-10; Section 11(a); Amendment No. 2 to Lease (in its entirety);
     Amendment No. 1 to Lease (except to the extent that such amendment
     extended the term of the Master Lease); and Amendment No. 3 to Lease
     (in its entirety).

(b)  Sublessee assumes and agrees to perform the Lessee's obligations
     under the Master Lease during the Term to the extent that these
     obligations are applicable to the Subleased Premises.  However, the
     obligation to pay rent and operating costs to Master Lessor under
     the Master Lease will be considered performed by Sublessee to the
     extent and in the amount rent and operating costs are paid to
     Sublessor in accordance with Section 4 of this Sublease.

(c)  Sublessee will not commit or suffer any act or omission that will
     violate any of the provisions of the Master Lease.  Sublessor will
     exercise due diligence in attempting to cause Master Lessor to
     perform its obligations under the Master Lease for the benefit of
     Sublessee.

(d)  If the Master Lease terminates, at the option of Master Lessor, this
     Sublease will terminate and the parties will be relieved of any
     further liability or obligation under this Sublease.  However, if
     the Master Lease terminates as a result of a default or breach by
     Sublessor or Sublessee under this Sublease or the Master Lease, the
     defaulting party will be liable to the nondefaulting party for the
     damage suffered as a result of the termination.  Regardless, if the
     Master Lease gives Sublessor any right to terminate the Master Lease
     in the event of the partial or total damage, destruction, or
     condemnation of the Master Premises or the building or project of
     which the Master Premises are a part, the exercise of this right by
     Sublessor will not constitute a default or breach.

(e)  If  Sublessor fails to cure any default by Sublessor in the
     performance of its obligations, covenants and agreements under this
     Sublease Agreement, including without limitation Sublessor's
     obligation to perform its obligations under the Master Lease, either
     within ten (10) days in the case

Sublease
11/16/99
Page 6 of 12

<PAGE>

     of a payment default under this Sublease Agreement or the Master
     Lease, or within thirty (30) days after written notice of such
     default from Sublessee in the case of other defaults, Sublessee
     shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such
     default and to thereafter be reimbursed by Sublessor for the
     reasonable costs incurred in effecting such cure and by reason of
     such default by Sublessor.

(f)  Sublessor shall not amend or otherwise modify the Master Lease in a
     manner that would adversely affect the Subleased Premises,
     Sublessee's use or occupancy thereof (or its use of the Common
     Areas), or Sublessor's or Sublessee's rights or obligations under
     this Sublease Agreement without the prior written consent of
     Sublessee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(g)  Sublessor shall provide to Sublessee, promptly upon receipt thereof,
     copies of any notices from the Master Lessor that are relevant to
     Sublessee's use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises, the conduct
     of Sublessee's business thereon, or Sublessee's rights and
     obligations under this Sublease Agreement, including without
     limitation copies of any notices stating that Sublessor is in
     default of its obligations under the Master Lease.

                     SECTION 9.  HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

(a)  USE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL. Sublessor has no knowledge of the
     presence of any Hazardous Material, as hereinafter defined, in, on
     or about the Subleased Premises.  Sublessee shall not cause or
     permit any Hazardous Material, to be generated, brought onto, used,
     stored, or disposed of in or about the Subleased Premises or the
     Project by Sublessee or its agents, employees, contractors,
     subtenants or invitees ("Sublessee's Hazardous Materials").
     Sublessee shall:

  (i)  Use, store, and dispose of all such Sublessee's Hazardous Material
       in strict compliance with all applicable statutes, ordinances, and
       regulations in effect during the Sublease Term that relate to
       public health and safety and protection of the environment
       ("ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS"), including but not limited to those
       Environmental Laws identified herein; and

  (ii) Comply at all times during the Sublease Term with all Environmental
       Laws applicable to Sublessee's Hazardous Materials.

(b)  INDEMNIFICATION.

  (i)  Sublessee shall, at Sublessee's sole expense and with counsel
       reasonably acceptable to Sublessor, indemnify, defend, and hold
       harmless Sublessor and Sublessor's shareholders, directors,
       officers, employees, partners, affiliates, and agents with respect
       to all losses arising out of or resulting from the release of any
       Hazardous Material in or about the Subleased Premises or the
       Building, or the violation of any Environmental Law, by Sublessee
       or Sublessee's agents, contractors, or invitees.

  (ii) Sublessor shall, at Sublessor's sole expense and with counsel
       reasonably acceptable to Sublessee, indemnify, defend and hold
       harmless Sublessee and Sublessee's shareholders, directors,
       officers, employees, partners, affiliates and agents with respect
       to all losses arising out of or resulting from any Hazardous
       Materials brought onto the Subleased Premises by or at the
       direction of Sublessor.

(c)  DEFINITION OF "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL."  As used in this Sublease, the
     term "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL" shall mean any hazardous or toxic
     substance, material, or waste that is or becomes regulated by

Sublease

Sublessor and Sublessee each warrant that they have not dealt with any real
estate broker in connection with this transaction except for CB Richard Ellis,

                    SECTION 13. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

This Sublease will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties to
it, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors in interest, and
assigns.

                         SECTION 14. ATTORNMENT.

If the Master Lease terminates, Sublessee will, if requested, attorn to
Master Lessor and recognize Master Lessor as Sublessor under this Sublease.
However, Sublessee's obligation to attorn to Master Lessor will be
conditioned on Sublessee's receipt of a nondisturbance agreement.

                           SECTION 15. ENTRY.

Sublessor reserves the right to enter the Subleased Premises on reasonable
notice to Sublessee to inspect the Subleased Premises or the performance by
Sublessee of the terms and conditions of this Sublease. In an emergency, no
notice will be required for entry.

                  SECTION 16. LATE CHARGE AND INTEREST.

The late payment of any Rent will cause Sublessor to incur additional costs,
including the cost to maintain in full force the Master Lease, administration
and collection costs, and processing and accounting expenses. If Sublessor
has not received any installment of Rent within five (5) days after that
amount is due, Sublessee will pay five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount,
which is agreed to represent a reasonable estimate of the cost incurred by
Sublessor. In addition, all delinquent amounts will bear interest from the
date the amount was due until paid in full at a rate per annum ("Applicable
Interest Rate") equal to the greater of (a) five percent (5%) per annum plus
the then federal discount rate on advances to member banks in effect at the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on the 25th day of the month preceding
the date of this Sublease or (b) ten percent (10%). However, in no event will
the Applicable Interest Rate exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by
law that may be charged under these circumstances. Sublessor and Sublessee
recognize that the damage Sublessor will suffer in the event of Sublessee's
failure to pay this amount is difficult to ascertain and that the late charge
and interest are the best estimate of the damage that Sublessor will suffer.
If a late charge becomes payable for any three (3) installments of Rent
within any twelve (12) month period, the Rent will automatically become
payable quarterly in advance.

              SECTION 17. MASTER LESSOR'S PERFORMANCE AND CONSENT

(a) Sublessee recognizes that Sublessor is not in a position to provide any
    of the utilities or services required or appropriate for the Building or
    the Subleased Premises or to perform any of the obligations required of
    Master Lessor by the terms of the Master Lease. To the extent that the
    provision of any services or the performance of any maintenance or any
    other act respecting the Subleased Premises or the Building is the
    responsibility of the Master Lessor, (collectively, "MASTER LESSOR
    OBLIGATIONS"), upon Sublessee's request, Sublessor shall make reasonable
    efforts to cause Master Lessor to perform such Master Lessor Obligations;
    provided, however, that in no event shall Sublessor be liable to Sublessee
    for any liability, loss or damage whatsoever in

Sublease
11/16/99
Page 9 of 12

<PAGE>

    the event that Master Lessor should fail to perform the same, nor shall
    Sublessee be entitled to withhold that payment of Rent or terminate this
    Sublease. It is expressly understood that the services and repairs which
    are incorporated herein by reference, including but not limited to the
    maintenance of exterior walls, structural portions of the roof,
    foundations, walls and floors, driveways, parking areas, and landscaping
    will in fact be furnished by Master Lessor and not by Sublessor, except to
    the extent otherwise provided in the Master Lease. In addition, Sublessor
    shall not be liable for any maintenance, restoration (following casualty
    or destruction) or repairs in or to the Building or Premises, other than
    its obligation hereunder to use reasonable efforts to cause Master Lessor
    to perform its obligations under the Master Lease. With respect to any
    maintenance or repair to be performed by Master Lessor respecting the
    Subleased Premises, the parties expressly agree that Sublessee shall have
    the right to contact Master Lessor directly to cause it to so perform.
    Except as otherwise provided herein, Sublessor shall have no other
    obligations to Sublessee with respect to the performance of Master Lessor
    Obligations.

(b) Sublessor and Sublessee recognize that certain actions Sublessee may wish
    to undertake pursuant to this Sublease Agreement will require, in addition
    to or in lieu of the consent of Sublessor, the consent of the Master
    Lessor. Whenever the consent of the Master Lessor is required under the
    Master Lease, and whenever the Master Lessor fails to perform its
    obligations under the Master Lease, Sublessor agrees to use its
    commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to obtain, at Sublessee's sole
    cost and expense, that consent or performance on behalf of Sublessee; and
    Sublessee shall cooperate with such efforts.

(c) Subject to Master Lessor's approval, as described below, Sublessor and
    Sublessee agree that Sublessee shall have the right to install tenant
    improvements in the Subleased Premises in accordance with and subject to
    the Tenant Improvement Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "INITIAL
    TENANT IMPROVEMENTS") and incorporated herein by this reference. Anything
    in this Sublease Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is agreed
    and understood by Sublessor and Sublessee (i) that Sublessor shall not
    impose any obligation on Sublessee to remove, at the expiration or earlier
    termination of the Sublease, the Initial Tenant Improvements, except to
    the extent that Master Lessor imposes such an obligation upon Sublessor,
    and (ii) that Sublessee's obligation to remove such tenant improvements
    shall be only that, if any, imposed by the Master Lessor in accordance
    with the Master Lease.

                         SECTION 18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

This Sublease sets forth all the agreements between Sublessor and Sublessee
concerning the Subleased Premises, and there are no other agreements either
oral or written other than as set forth in this Sublease.

                         SECTION 19. TIME OF ESSENCE.

Time is of the essence in this Sublease.

                     SECTION 20. CONSENT BY MASTER LESSOR.

THIS SUBLEASE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT UNLESS CONSENTED TO BY MASTER LESSOR WITHIN
10 DAYS AFTER EXECUTION IF CONSENT IS REQUIRED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE MASTER
LEASE.

                         SECTION 21. GOVERNING LAW.

This Sublease will be governed by and construed in accordance with
California law.

               SECTION 22. PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE

Sublessee shall, separate and apart from the payment of Rent, purchase
certain furniture belonging to Sublessor presently located on the Subleased
Premises, all of which are listed on attached Exhibit A, for a purchase price
of $30,000.00. Payments in the amount of $10,000 each shall be due on
December 1, 1999, January 1, 2000 and February 1, 2000. The parties expressly
understand and agree that these payments represent compensation for the
purchase of Sublessor's personal property, and do not constitute rent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, THE PARTIES HAVE EXECUTED THE SUBLEASE:

any of the provisions of the Master Lease, and that the Master Lease has not
been amended or modified except as expressly set forth in the Sublease.

Master Lessor hereby consents to the installation of the Initial Tenant
Improvements at the Subleased Premises in accordance with and subject to the
Tenant Improvement Plan attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein
by this reference. Neither Sublessor nor Sublessee shall have any obligation
to remove, at the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease, any such
Initial Tenant Improvements.

                       STANDARD FORM INDUSTRIAL NET LEASE

     THIS LEASE, dated March 20, 1998 for purposes of reference only, is made
     and entered into by and between Harbor Belmont Associates, a California
     General Partnership ("Lessor") and Intelligent Systems for Retail, Inc.,
     a California Corporation ("Lessee").

1.   THE PREMISES:  Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and Lessee hereby leases
     from Lessor the premises (the "premises"), designated on the floor plan
     attached hereto as Exhibit A, comprising 7985 rentable square feet
     located in unit 260 in Building A of Harbor Park, located at 300 Harbor
     Boulevard in Belmont, California for the term and subject to the
     covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, to each and all of which
     Lessor and Lessee hereby mutually agree.

2.   TERM; INITIAL TENANT IMPROVEMENTS:  (a)  The term of this Lease shall
     commence and, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, shall
     end on the dates respectively specified in the Basic Lease information.
     If Lessor, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the
     premises to Lessee at the commencement of said term as above specified,
     this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Lessor be liable to
     Lessee for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in that event
     rental shall be waived for the period between the commencement of said
     term and the time when Lessor can deliver possession. No delay of
     possession shall operate to extend the term hereof commensurately.

     (b)  Prior to the commencement of the term, Lessee shall complete the
     Tenant improvements to be constructed or installed in the premises
     pursuant to ADDENDUM attached hereto (the "Tenant Improvements"). SEE
     ADDENDUM [ILLEGIBLE].

     (c)  Lessor shall pay the cost of the Tenant improvements up to the sum
     specified in the Basic Lease information as the Tenant Improvement
     Allowance and all other Tenant Improvement Costs shall be paid by
     Lessee, as provided in the Addendum [ILLEGIBLE].

     (d)  In the event Lessor permits Lessee to occupy the premises prior to
     the commencement date of the term, such occupancy shall be subject to
     all provisions of this Lease. See Addendum paragraph 3

3.   RENTAL:  (a) Base Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor throughout the term
     of the Lease as rental for the premises the sum specified in the Basic
     Lease information as the Base Rent, subject to the following adjustment:

     See Addendum paragraph 1

     (b)  LESSEE'S PERCENTAGE SHARE OF OPERATING EXPENSES AND PROPERTY TAXES.
     Lessee shall pay to Lessor throughout the term hereof as additional
     rental Lessee's Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and Property
     Taxes.

           (1)  The term "Operating Expenses" shall mean (1) all costs of
           management, operation and maintenance of the Project including,
           without limitation, wages, salaries, fringe benefits and payroll
           burden of employees, maintenance, guard, security and other
           services, Project office rent or rental value, water and waste
           disposal for the Project, janitorial services, gas, electricity
           and other utilities for the Building and Project common areas,
           materials and supplies, maintenance and repairs, landscaping,
           insurance, depreciation on personal property, and (2) the cost of
           any capital improvements made to the Project by Lessor that are
           anticipated to reduce other Operating Expenses or made to the
           Project by Lessor that are required under any governmental law or
           regulation, such cost or allocable portion thereof to be amortized
           over such reasonable period as Lessor shall determine together
           with interest on the unamortized balance at the reference rate
           from time to time announced by the Bank of America, San Francisco
           main office, plus 2% per annum or such higher rate as may have
           been paid by Lessor on funds borrowed for the purpose of
           constructing such capital improvements; provided, however, that
           Operating Expenses shall not include Property Taxes, depreciation
           on the buildings in the Project, costs of tenants' improvements in
           excess of tenant standard, real estate brokers' commissions,
           interest and capital items other than those referred to in clause
           (2) above and any expense to the extent Lessor receives direct
           reimbursement by tenants, insurers or other third parties. Actual
           Operating Expenses for calendar year shall be adjusted to equal
           Lessor's reasonable estimate of Operating Expenses had 100% of the
           rentable area of the Project been occupied.

           (2)  The term "Property Taxes" shall mean all real property taxes
           and personal property taxes, licenses, charges and assessments
           which are levied, assessed or imposed by any governmental or
           quasi-governmental authority, improvement or assessment district
           with respect to the Project or any other fixtures, improvements,
           equipment or other property of Lessor, real or personal, located
           in the Project and used in connection with the operation thereof,
           whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the
           parties hereto, including, without limitation, any taxes, charges
           or assessments for public improvements, services or benefits,
           irrespective of when commenced or completed, transit fees, housing
           funds, education funds, street, highway or traffic fees, as well
           as any tax which shall be levied or assessed in addition to or in
           lieu of such taxes, any charge upon Lessor's business of leasing of
           the Project (unless included in paragraph 6) and any costs or
           expenses of contesting any such taxes, licenses, charges or
           assessments, but excluding any federal or state income or gift tax
           or any franchise, capital stock, estate or inheritance taxes. In
           the event that it shall not be lawful for Lessee to reimburse
           Lessor for Lessee's percentage share of any Property Tax, as
           defined herein, the rent payable to Lessor under this Lease shall
           be revised to yield to Lessor the same net rent from the premises
           after imposition of any such tax upon Lessor as would have been
           received by Lessor hereunder prior to the imposition of any such
           tax.

           (3)  The term "Lessee's Percentage Share" shall mean the
           percentage figure specified in the Basic Lease information. Lessor
           and Lessee acknowledge that Lessee's percentage share has been
           obtained by dividing the net rentable area of the premises,
           specified in the Basic Lease information, by the total net
           rentable area in the Project, which Lessor and Lessee agree is
           212,000 square feet, and multiplying such quotient by 100. In the
           event Lessor's Percentage Share is changed during a calendar
           year by reason of a change in the net rentable area of the
           premises, Lessee's Percentage Share shall thereafter mean the
           result obtained by dividing the new net rentable area of the
           premises by 212,000 square feet and multiplying such quotient by
           100, and for the purposes of section 3, Lessee's Percentage Share
           shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during such
           calendar year at each such Percentage Share.

           (4)  Prior to the commencement of the term hereof, and in December
           of each subsequent calendar year, or as soon thereafter as
           practicable, Lessor shall give Lessee written notice of its
           estimate of Lessee's Percentage Share of Operating Expenses and
           Property Taxes. On or before the first day of each month during
           the ensuing calendar year, Lessee shall pay to Lessor 1/12 of such
           estimated amounts, provided that if such notice is not given in
           December, Lessee shall continue to pay on the basis of the then
           applicable rental until the month after such notice is given. If at
           any time or times it

                                                          INDUSTRIAL NET LEASE
                                                          INITIAL HERE:

                                                          [ILLEGIBLE]
                                                          --------------------

<PAGE>

          appears to Lessor that the amounts payable under this paragraph (b)
          for the current calendar year will vary from its estimate by more
          than 5%. Lessor may, by notice to Lessee, revise its estimate for
          such year, and subsequent payments by Lessee for such year shall be
          based upon such revised estimate.

          (5) Within 90 days after the close of each calendar year or as soon
          after such 90-day period as practicable, Lessor shall deliver to
          Lessee a statement of actual Property Taxes and Operating Expenses
          for such calendar year. If, on the basis of such statement, Lessee
          owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for such
          calendar year previously made by Lessee, Lessor shall credit such
          excess against the next payment of rental due from Lessee
          hereunder, or, if at the end of the term hereof, if no payments are
          due from Lessee, Lessor shall pay the excess to Lessee within 30
          days after the statement is delivered. If on the basis of such
          statement Lessee owes an amount that is more than the estimated
          payments for such calendar year previously made by Lessee, Lessee
          shall pay the deficiency to Lessor within 30 days after delivery of
          the statement. The obligation of Lessor and Lessee to make the
          reconciling payments referred to in this paragraph (s) shall
          survive the termination of this Lease.  The payments to be made
          pursuant to this paragraph (b) for partial years at the beginning or
          end of the term hereof shall be prorated on the basis which the number
          of days from the commencement of such calendar year to and including
          such termination date bears to 365.

     (c)  Rental shall be paid to Lessor on or before the first day of the
     term hereof and on or before the first day of each and every successive
     calendar month thereafter during the term hereof. In the event the term
     of this Lease commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar
     month or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then
     the monthly rental for the first and last fractional months of the term
     hereof shall be appropriately prorated.

     (d)  Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee to Lessor of
     rent and other sums due hereunder after the expiration of any applicable
     grace period will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this
     Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to
     ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and
     accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Lessor by
     the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the premises.
     Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sums due from
     Lessee shall not be received by Lessor when due or if a grace period is
     applicable, prior to the expiration of the grace period, Lessee shall pay
     to Lessor a late charge equal to 6% of such overdue amount. The
     parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and
     reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of late
     payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no
     event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default with respect to such
     overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of the other
     rights and remedies available to Lessor hereunder or at law.

     (e)  Rental and all other payments to be made by Lessee hereunder shall
     be paid to Lessor without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the
     United States of America at Lessor's address for notices hereunder or to
     such other person or at such other place as Lessor may from time to time
     designate in writing.

     (f)  All sums of money or charges required to be paid by Lessee
     hereunder shall be deemed rental for the premises and may be designated
     in as such any statutory notice to pay rent or quit the premises.

4.   USE:  The premises shall be used for the purpose set forth in the Basic
     Lease information and no other and shall be continuously occupied by
     Lessee. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done in or about the
     premises, nor bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept therein,
     anything which is prohibited by or will in any way conflict with any
     law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force
     or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, or which is prohibited
     by the standard form of fire insurance policy, or will in any way
     increase the existing rate of or affect any fire or other insurance upon
     the Building or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any
     insurance policy covering the Building or any part thereof or any of its
     contents. Lessee shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about
     the premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights
     of other tenants of the Building, or injure or annoy them, or use or
     allow the premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or
     objectionable purpose, nor shall Lessee cause, maintain or permit any
     nuisance in, on or about the premises or commit or suffer to be
     committed any waste in, on or about the premises.

5.   SERVICES AND UTILITIES:  Lessee shall pay for all gas, electricity,
     heat, cooling energy, telephone, janitorial service, water, waste
     disposal, refuse collection and other utility-type services furnished to
     Lessee or the premises, together with all related installation or
     connection charges or deposits. Lessor shall designate which of the
     above utilities shall be separately metered to the premises, and, as to
     such utilities, Lessee shall pay the cost of the metering and shall
     contract directly with and shall directly pay the provider of such
     services. Lessor reserves the right at any time or from time to time
     during the term of the Lease to require any of the above utilities to be
     separately metered to the premises, at Lessee's expense, or any of the
     above services to be contracted for directly by Lessee. Lessor shall
     furnish the premises with any of the above services and utilities not
     designated by Lessor for direct contracting or metering and the expense
     thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses, of which Lessee shall
     pay its Percentage Share pursuant to paragraph 3(b), provided that
     Lessee shall promptly reimburse Lessor upon demand for the cost of such
     utilities or services used on the premises in excess of the average
     level of such services consumed by other tenants of the Building or the
     Project. Lessor shall not be liable in damages, consequential or
     otherwise, nor shall there be any rent abatement, arising out of any
     interruption whatsoever in utility services which is due to fire,
     accident, strike, governmental authority, acts of God, or other causes
     beyond the reasonable control of Lessor or any temporary interruption
     in such service which is necessary to the making of alterations,
     repairs, or improvements to Building or the Project or any part of it.

6.   OTHER TAXES AND CHARGES PAYABLE BY LESSEE: In addition to the monthly
     rental and other charges to be paid by Lessee hereunder. Lessee shall
     pay or reimburse Lessor for any and all of the following, whether or not
     now customary or in the contemplation of the parties hereto: taxes
     (other than local, state and federal personal or corporate income taxes
     measured by the net income of Lessor from all sources), assessments
     (including, without limitation, all assessments for public improvements,
     services or benefits, irrespective of when commenced or completed),
     excises, levies, business taxes, license, permit, inspection and other
     authorization fees, transit development fees, assessments or charges for
     housing funds, service payments in lieu of taxes and any other fees or
     charges of any kind, which are levied, assessed, confirmed or imposed by
     any public authority: (a) upon, measured by or reasonably attributable to
     the cost or value of Lessee's equipment, furniture, fixtures and other
     personal property located in the premises or by the cost of any leasehold
     improvements made in or to the premises by or  for Lessee, regardless of
     whether title to such improvements shall be in Lessee or Lessor; (b) upon
     or measured by the monthly rental or other charges payable hereunder,
     including, without limitation, any gross income tax or excise tax levied
     by the City and County of San Francisco, the State of California, the
     Federal Government or any other governmental body with respect to the
     receipt of such rental; (c) upon, with respect to or by reason of the
     development, possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance,
     alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Lessee of the premises or any
     portion thereof; (d) upon this transaction or any document to which
     Lessee is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the
     premises. In the event that it shall not be lawful for Lessee so to
     reimburse Lessor, the monthly rental payable to Lessor under this Lease
     shall be revised to net Lessor the same net rental after imposition of
     any such tax or other charge upon Lessor as would have been payable to
     Lessor prior to the imposition of any such tax or other charge.

7.   ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS:  Lessee shall not make or suffer to be made
     any alterations, additions or improvements to or of the premises or any
     part thereof or attach any fixtures to the premises without first
     obtaining the written consent of Lessor. Any alterations, additions or
     improvements to the premises, including, but not limited to, wall
     covering, paneling and built-in cabinet work, (but excepting movable
     furniture and trade fixtures, which may be removed at the end of the
     Lease term provided their removal will not cause material damage to the
     premises and the Lessee posts reasonable security with Lessor to pay for
     any repair costs caused by such removal) shall, on the expiration of the
     term, become a part of the realty and belong to Lessor and shall be
     surrendered with the premises. Lessee shall submit detailed
     specifications and floor plans and necessary permits (if applicable)
     with respect to any requested alterations or improvements to Lessor for
     review. Lessor may require reasonable changes to such specifications or
     plans as a condition to giving its consent. In no event shall any
     alterations or improvements affect the structure of the Building or its
     facade. Any work consented to by Lessor hereunder shall be done at
     Lessee's expense and shall be performed either by Lessor a contractor or
     by contractors approved by Lessor, as Lessor may elect. In addition, as
     a condition to its consent, Lessor shall be entitled to request
     adequate assurance that all contractors who will perform such work have
     in force workmen's compensation and such other employee and public
     liability insurance as Lessor deems necessary to supplement the
     insurance coverage provided below. In case of material alterations,
     additions, improvements, Lessor may require Lessee or its contractors to
     post adequate completion and performance bonds.

8.   LIENS: Lessee shall keep the premises and the Building free from any
     liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or
     obligations incurred by Lessee. Lessor shall have the right to post and
     keep posted on the premises any notices that may be provided by law or
     which Lessor may deem to be proper for the protection of Lessor, the
     premises and the Building from such liens.

9.   MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS: See Addendum, paragraph 4 Lessee shall, at all
     times during the term hereof and at Lessee's sole cost and expense, keep
     the premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair, ordinary
     wear and tear, damage thereto by fire, earthquake, act of God or the
     elements excepted, Lessee hereby waiving all rights to make repairs at the
     expense of Lessor or in lieu thereof to vacate the premises as provided by
     California Civil Code Section 1942 or any other law, statute or
     ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Lessee shall at the end of the
     term hereof surrender to Lessor the premises and all alterations,
     additions and improvements thereto in the same condition as when
     received, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire, earthquake, act of
     God or the elements excepted. Lessor has no obligation and has made no
     promise to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the
     premises or any part thereof, except as specifically herein set forth.
     No representations respecting the condition of the premises or the
     Building have been made by Lessor to Lessee, except as specifically
     herein set forth.

     Lessor shall have the right to require Lessee to replace, or reimburse
     Lessor for replacement of, all plate glass, including windows, in or
     upon the premises or in the Building which may be damaged or broken by
     Lessee, its employees, agents, guests or invitees.

     (b) Lessor shall maintain the roof, exterior walls and foundation of the
     Building, driveways, parking areas and landscaping for exterior common
     areas in the Project, in reasonably good order and condition except for
     damaged caused by the act of Lessee, its agents, employees, guests, or
     invitees, which damage shall be repaired at Lessee's expense by Lessor
     or Lessee, as Lessor may elect.

10.  DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE: (a) In the event the premises or the portion of
     the Building necessary for Lessee's occupancy are damaged by fire,
     earthquake, act of God, the elements or other casualty, Lessor shall
     forthwith repair the same, subject to the provisions of this section
     hereinafter set forth, if such repairs can, in Lessor's opinion, be made
     within 90 days and if insurance proceeds are available to pay the cost
     thereof. This Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that,
     if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct
     of Lessee or Lessee's employees or invitees, an abatement of rental
     shall be allowed Lessee for such part of the premises as shall be
     rendered unusable by Lessee in the conduct of its business during the
     time such part is so unusable. See Addendum, paragraph 6

     (b) If such repairs cannot, in Lessor's opinion, be made within 90 days,
     or if sufficient insurance proceeds are unavailable, Lessor may elect,
     upon notice to Lessee within 30 days after the date of such fire or
     other casualty, to repair or restore such damage, in which event this
     Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but the rent shall be
     partially abated as hereinabove in this section provided. If Lessor does
     not so elect to make such repairs, this Lease shall terminate as of the
     date of such fire or other casualty.

     (c) A total destruction of the Building shall automatically terminate
     this Lease. Lessee waives California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and
     1933(4) providing for termination of hiring upon destruction of the
     thing hired.

     (d) If the premises are to be repaired under this section, Lessor shall
     repair at its cost any injury or damage to the Building itself and all
     leasehold improvements in the premises other than tenant improvements
     made by or for Lessee. Lessee shall pay the cost of repairing any tenant
     improvements made by or for Lessee and the cost of repairs or replacing
     Lessee's fixtures and personal property in the premises.

11.  INSURANCE: Lessee shall obtain and maintain during the term of this
     Lease comprehensive general liability insurance with a combined single
     limit for personal injury and property damage in an amount not less than
     $1,000,000, and employer's liability and worker's compensation insurance
     as required by law. If Lessee's insurance contains a split limit of
     liability the liability limit shall be not less than $1,000,000 for
     bodily injury and $300,000 for property damage. Such insurance policy
     shall also specifically cover Lessee's indemnity obligations set forth
     in paragraph 13. Lessee's comprehensive general liability insurance
     policy shall (1) provide that (i) it may not be cancelled or altered in
     such a manner as adversely to affect the coverage afforded thereby
     without 30 days' prior written notice to Lessor, (ii) Lessor is named as
     additional insured, (iii) such insurance is primary with respect to
     Lessor and any entity managing the Building and that any other insurance
     maintained by Lessor or such management company is excess and
     noncontributing with such insurance, (2) contain a cross-liability
     endorsement or a severability of interest clause (3) contain a waiver of
     subrogation as provided in paragraph 12; (4) provide for blanket
     contractual coverage, broad form property damage coverage and products
     completed operations coverage (where applicable); and (6) afford
     coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions, injury or damage which
     occurred or arose (or the onset of which occurred or arose) in whole
     or in part during the policy period. Lessee shall insure the full
     replacement cost of all personal property and fixtures of tenant and all
     improvements made by or for tenant to the premises. All insurance to be
     provided by Lessee shall be provided by a carrier or carriers rated
     "A-ix" in Best's Insurance Guide or shall otherwise be satisfactory to
     Lessor. If, in the opinion of Lessor's insurance advisor, based on a
     substantial increase in recovered liability claims generally, the
     specified amounts of coverage are no longer adequate, such coverage
     shall be appropriately increased. Prior to the commencement of the term,
     a duplicate of such policy or a certificate thereof shall be delivered to
     Lessor for retention by it. If Lessee fails to obtain such insurance or to
     furnish Lessor any such duplicate policy or certificate as herein required,
     Lessor may, at its election, without notice to Lessee and without any
     obligation so to do, procure and maintain such coverage and Lessee shall
     reimburse Lessor on demand as additional rent for any premium so paid by
     Lessor. See Addendum, paragraph 10

12.  WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: To the extent of insurance proceeds received with
     respect to the loss, Lessor and Lessee each hereby waive any right of
     recovery against the other party for any loss or damage maintained by
     such other party with respect to the Building or the premises or any
     portion thereof or any contents thereof or any operation therein whether
     or not such loss is caused by the fault or negligence of such
     other party. Lessee and Lessor shall each obtain from its insurers under
     all policies of insurance maintained by it at any time during the term
     hereof in connection with Building, the premises, the contents or
     operations therein, a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the
     insurer of one party might have against the other party.

13.  INDEMNIFICATION: Lessee shall hold Lessor harmless from any damage to
     any property or injury to or death of any person arising from the
     use of the premises or the Building by Lessee, its agents, employees,
     contractors and invitees, except such as is caused solely by the gross
     negligence or willful act of Lessor. The foregoing indemnity obligation
     of Lessee shall include reasonable attorneys' fees, investigation costs
     and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lessor from the
     first notice that any claim or demand is to be made or may be made. The
     provisions of this section 13 shall survive the termination of this
     Lease with respect to any damage, injury or death occurring prior to
     such termination.

14.  COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: Lessee shall at its sole cost and
     expense promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and
     governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which
     may hereafter be in force, with the requirements of any board of fire
     underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted, with
     any direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to any law by any
     public officer or officers, as well as the provisions of all recorded
     documents affecting the premises, insofar as any thereof relate to or
     affect the condition, use or occupancy of the premises.

15.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: (a) Lessee shall not, without the prior written
     consent of Lessor, assign this Lease or any interest herein, sublet the
     premises or any part thereof, permit the use or occupancy of the
     premises by any person other than Lessee, or hypothecate this Lease or
     any interest herein. Any of the foregoing acts without such consent
     shall be void and shall, at the option of Lessor, constitute a
     default that shall entitle Lessor to terminate this Lease. This Lease
     shall not, nor shall any interest herein, be assignable as to the interest
     of Lessee involuntarily or by operation of law without the prior written
     consent of Lessor. Any transfer of more than 50% of Lessee's stock, or
     of a majority of general partnership interests in Lessee shall
     constitute a prohibited assignment under this Section 15. See Addendum,
     paragraph 11.

     (c) Lessor's consent to a proposed assignment or sublet shall not be
     unreasonably withheld.  Without limiting the other instances in which it
     may be reasonable for Lessor to withhold its consent to an assignment or
     subletting.  Lessor and Lessee acknowledge that it shall be reasonable
     for Lessor to withhold its consent in the following instances:

          (1) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a governmental agency;

          (2) in Lessor's reasonable judgment, the use of the premises by the
          proposed assignee or sublessee would entail any alterations which
          would lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the premises,
          or would require increased services by Lessor;

          (3) in Lessor's reasonable judgment, the financial worth of the
          proposed assignee or sublessee does not meet the credit standards
          applied by Lessor for other tenants under leases with comparable
          terms;

          (4) in Lessor's reasonable judgment the character, reputation or
          business of the proposed assignee or sublessee is not consistent with
          the quality of the other tenancies in the Building or the Project;

          (5) Lessor has received from any prior lessor to the proposed assignee
          or subtenant a negative report concerning such prior lessor's
          experience with the proposed assignee or subtenant;

          (6) Lessor has experienced previous defaults by or is in litigation
          with the proposed assignee or subtenant;

          (7) in Lessor's reasonable judgment, the premises, or the relevant
          part thereof, will be used in a manner that will violate any negative
          covenant as to use contained in any other lease of space in the
          Building or the Project;

          (8) the used of the premises by the proposed assignee or subtenant
          will violate any applicable law, ordinance or regulation;

          (9) the proposed assignment or sublease will create a vacancy
          elsewhere in the Building or the Project;

          (11) the proposed assignment or sublease fails to include all of the
          terms and provisions required to be included therein pursuant to this
          paragraph 15;

          (12) Lessee is in default of any obligation of Lessee under this
          lease, or Lessee has defaulted under this Lease on three (3) or more
          occasions during the twelve (12) months preceding the date that
          Lessee shall request consent; or

          (13) in the case of a subletting of less than the entire premises, if
          the subletting would result in the division of the premises into more
          than two subparcels or would require access to be provided through
          space leased or held for lease to another tenant or improvements to
          be made outside of the premises.

     (d) In the case of an assignment one half of any sums or other economic
     consideration received by Lessor as compensation for its leasehold interest
     as a result of such assignment shall be paid to Lessor after first
     deducting the unamortized cost of leasehold improvements paid for by
     Lessee, and the cost of any real estate commissions incurred in connection
     with such assignment.  In the case of a subletting one half of any sum or
     economic consideration received by Lessee as compensation for its leasehold
     interest as a result of such subletting shall be paid to Lessor after first
     deducting (1) the rental due hereunder, prorated to reflect only rental
     allocable to the sublet portion of the premises, and (2) the cost of any
     real estate commissions incurred in connection with such subletting,
     amortized over the term of the sublease.  Upon Lessor's request Lessee
     shall assign to Lessor one half of all amounts to be paid to Lessee by any
     such subtenant or assignee and shall direct such subtenant or assignee to
     pay the same directly to Lessor.

     (e) Lessee agrees that the instrument by which any assignment or subletting
     consented to by Lessor is accomplished shall expressly provide that the
     assignee or subtenant will perform and observe all the agreements,
     covenants, conditions and provisions to be performed and observed by Lessee
     under this Lease as and when performance and observance is due, that no
     assignee or subtenant shall have the further right to assign or sublet, and
     that Lessor shall have the right to enforce such agreements, covenants,
     conditions and provisions directly against such assignee or subtenant.
     Consent by Lessor to an assignment or subletting shall not release Lessee
     from any of Lessee's obligations hereunder and shall not be deemed to be a
     consent to any subsequent transfer, assignment or subletting.  Lessee shall
     in all cases remain responsible for the performance by any subtenant or
     assignee as indicated thereon of all such agreements, covenants, conditions
     and provisions.  Any assignment or subletting without an instrument
     containing the foregoing provision shall be void and shall, at the option
     of Lessor, constitute a default that entitles Lessor to terminate this
     Lease.

     (f) In the event Lessee shall assign or sublet the premises or request the
     consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting then Lessee shall pay
     Lessor's reasonable attorney's fees incurred in connection therewith.

16.  RULES:  Lessee shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and
     regulations annexed to this Lease and, after notice thereof, all reasonable
     modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time promulgated
     in writing by Lessor, Lessor shall not be responsible to Lessee for the
     nonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any said
     rules and regulations.

17.  ENTRY BY LESSOR:  Lessor may enter the premises at reasonable hours and
     (except in emergencies) upon 24 hours prior notice to (a) inspect the same,
     (b) exhibit the same to prospective purchases, lenders or tenants, (c)
     determine whether Lessee is complying with all its obligations hereunder,
     (d) supply janitor service and any other service to be provided by Lessor
     to Lessee hereunder, (e) post notices of nonresponsibility, and (f) make
     repairs required of Lessor under the terms hereof or repairs to any
     adjoining space or utility services or make repairs, alterations or
     improvements to any other portion of the Building; provided, however, that
     all such work shall be done as promptly as reasonably possible and so as
     to cause as little interference to Lessee as reasonably possible.  Lessee
     hereby waives any claims for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or
     interference with Lessee's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet
     enjoyment of the premises or any other loss occasioned by such entry.
     Lessor shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all
     of the doors in, on or about the premises (excluding Lessee's vaults, sales
     and similar areas designated in writing by Lessee in advance); and Lessor
     shall have the right to use any and all means which Lessor may deem proper
     to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the
     premises, and any entry to the premises obtained by Lessor by any of said
     means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or
     deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the
     premises or as eviction, actual or constructive, of Lessee from the
     premises, or any portion thereof.

18.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT:  The occurrence of any one or more of the following
     events ("Events of Default") shall constitute a breach of this Lease by
     Lessee:  (a) if Lessee shall fail to pay any rental when and as the same
     becomes due and payable; or (b) if Lessee shall fail to pay any other sum
     when and as the same becomes due and payable and such failure shall
     continue for more that 10 days; or (c) if Lessee shall fail to perform or
     observe any other term hereof or of the rules and regulations described in
     section 16 to be performed or observed by Lessee, such failure shall
     continue for more than 30 days after notice therefore from Lessor, and
     Lessee shall not within such period commence with due diligence and
     dispatch the curing of such default, or, having so commenced, shall
     thereafter fail or neglect to prosecute or complete with due diligence
     and dispatch the curing of such default; (d) if Lessee shall make a
     general assignment for the benefit of creditors, shall become insolvent
     or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become
     due or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated as
     bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition in any proceeding seeking
     any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
     dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or
     regulation, or shall file an answer admitting or fail timely to contest
     the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such
     proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of
     any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessee or any material part of its
     properties; or (e) if within 90 days after the commencement of any
     proceeding against Lessee seeking any reorganization, arrangement,
     composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief
     under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding
     shall not have been dismissed, or if, within 90 days after the appointment
     without the consent is acquiescence of Lessee, of any trustee, receiver
     or liquidator of Lessee or of any material part of its properties, such
     appointment shall not have been vacated; or (f) if this Lease or any
     estate of Lessee hereunder shall be levied upon under any attachment
     or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within 10
     days.

                                                          INDUSTRIAL NET LEASE

19.  TERMINATION UPON DEFAULT: (a) If an Event of Default shall occur, Lessor
     at any time thereafter may give a written termination notice to Lessee,
     and on the date specified in such notice Lessee's right to possession
     shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate, unless on or before
     such date all arrears of rental and all other sums payable by Lessee
     under this Lease and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
     Lessor hereunder shall have been paid by Lessee and all other breaches
     of this Lease by Lessee at the time existing shall have been fully
     remedied to the satisfaction of Lessor. Upon such termination, Lessor
     may recover from Lessee: (a) the worth at the time of award of the
     unpaid rental which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) the
     worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rental
     which would have been earned after termination until the time of award
     exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have
     been reasonably avoided; (c) the worth at the time of award of the
     amount by which the unpaid rental for the balance of the term of this
     Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss
     that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) any other amount
     necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused
     by Lessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which
     in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
     The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in clauses
     (a) and (b) above is computed by allowing interest at the rate of 10%
     per annum or, if a higher rate is legally permissible, at the highest
     rate legally permitted. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount
     referred to in clause (c) above is computed by discounting such amount
     at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the
     time of award plus 1%.

     (b) Lessee hereby waives all right now or hereafter existing to redeem
     the premises after termination pursuant to this Paragraph 19 or by order
     or judgment of any court or by any legal process.

20.  CONTINUATION AFTER DEFAULT: Even though Lessee has breached this Lease
     and abandoned the premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so
     long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee's right to possession, and
     Lessor may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease,
     including the right to recover the rental as it becomes due under this
     Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the
     premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Lessor to
     protect Lessor's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a
     termination of Lessee's right to possession.

21.  OTHER RELIEF: The remedies provided for in this Lease shall be
     cumulative and are in addition to any other remedies available to Lessor
     at law or in equity by statute or otherwise.

22.  LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. All agreements and provisions to be
     performed by Lessee under any of the terms of this Lease shall be at its
     sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rental. If Lessee
     shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than rental, required to be
     paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part
     to be performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for 30 days
     after notice thereof by Lessor, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated
     so to do, and without waiving or releasing Lessee from any obligations
     of Lessee, make any such payment or perform any such other act on
     Lessee's part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided. All
     sums so paid by Lessor and all necessary incidental costs shall be
     deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be payable to Lessor on
     demand, and Lessor shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy
     of Lessor) the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment
     thereof by Lessee as in the case of default by Lessee in the payment of
     rental.

23.  ATTORNEYS' FEES: If as a result of any breach or default in the
     performance of any of the provisions of this Lease, Lessor uses the
     services of an attorney in order to secure compliance with such
     provisions or recover damages therefor, or to terminate this Lease or
     evict Lessee, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor upon demand for any and all
     attorneys' fees and expenses so incurred by Lessor, provided that if
     Lessee shall be the prevailing party in any legal action brought by
     Lessor against Lessee, Lessee shall be entitled to recover for the fees
     of its attorneys in such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable.

24.  EMINENT DOMAIN: If all or any part of the premises shall be taken as a
     result of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall
     terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking, and, in the
     case of a partial taking, either Lessor or Lessee shall have the right
     to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the premises by written
     notice to the other within 30 days after such date, provided, however,
     that a condition to the exercise by Lessee of such right to terminate
     shall be that the portion of the premises taken shall be of such extent
     and nature as substantially to handicap, impede or impair Lessee's use
     of the balance of the premises. In the event of any taking, Lessor shall
     be entitled to any and all compensation, damages, income, rent, awards,
     or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in
     connection therewith, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for
     the value of any unexpired term of this Lease or otherwise. In the event
     of a partial taking of the premises which does not result in a
     termination of this Lease, the monthly rental thereafter to be paid
     shall be equitably reduced.

25.  SUBORDINATION: This Lease shall be subject and subordinated at all times
     to (1) all ground or underlying leases now existing or which may
     hereafter be executed affecting the Building, and (2) the lien of all
     mortgages and deeds of trust in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or
     hereafter placed on or against the Building, the Project or on or
     against Lessor's interest or estate therein or on or against all such
     ground or underlying leases, all without the necessity of having further
     instruments executed on the part of Lessee to effectuate such
     subordination. Lessee agrees to execute and deliver upon demand such
     further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to said
     deed, to such ground or underlying leases, and to the lien of any such
     mortgages or deeds of trust as may reasonably be required by Lessor.

26.  NO MERGER: The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or
     a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at
     the option of Lessor terminate all or any existing subleases or
     subtenancies, or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment
     to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

27.  SALE: In the event the original Lessor hereunder, or any successor owner
     of the Building, shall sell or convey the Building, all liabilities and
     obligations on the part of the original Lessor, or such successor owner,
     under this Lease accruing thereafter shall terminate, and thereupon all
     such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner.
     Lessee agrees to attorn to such new owner.

28.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE: At any time and from time to time but on not less
     than 10 days prior written request by Lessor, Lessee will execute,
     acknowledge and deliver to Lessor, promptly upon request, a certificate
     certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
     effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full
     force and effect, as modified, and stating the date and nature of each
     modification), (b) the date, if any, to which rental and other sums
     payable hereunder have been paid, (c) that no notice has been received
     by Lessee of any default which has not been cured, except as to defaults
     specified in said certificate, and (d) such other matters as may be
     reasonably requested by Lessor. Any such certificates may be relied upon
     by a prospective purchaser, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed of
     trust on the Building or any part thereof.

29.  NO LIGHT, AIR OR VIEW EASEMENT: Any diminution or shutting off of light,
     air or view by any structure which may be erected on lands adjacent to
     the Building shall in no way affect this Lease or impose any liability
     on Lessor.

30.  HOLDING OVER: If, without objection by Lessor, Lessee holds possession
     of the premises after expiration of the term of this Lease, Lessee shall
     become a tenant from month to month upon the terms herein specified but
     at a monthly rental equivalent to 200% of the then prevailing monthly
     rental paid by Lessee at the expiration of the term of this Lease,
     payable in advance on or before the first day of each month. Each party
     shall give the other notice at least one month prior to the date of
     termination of such monthly tenancy of its intention to terminate such
     tenancy.

31.  ABANDONMENT: If Lessee shall abandon or surrender the premises, or be
     dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any personal property
     belonging to Lessee and left on the premises shall be deemed to be
     abandoned, at the option of Lessor, except such property as may be
     mortgaged to Lessor.

32.  SECURITY DEPOSIT: Lessee has deposited with Lessor the sum specified in
     the Basic Lease information (the "deposit"). The deposit shall be held
     by Lessor as security for the faithful performance by Lessee of all of
     the provisions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Lessee. If
     Lessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder, or otherwise
     defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may use,
     apply or retain all or any portion of the deposit for the payment of any
     rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to
     which Lessor may become obligated by reason of Lessee a default, or to
     compensate Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor may suffer
     thereby. If Lessor so uses or applies all or any portion of the deposit,
     Lessee shall within 10 days after demand therefor deposit cash with
     Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the deposit to the full amount
     thereof and Lessee's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this
     Lease. Lessor shall not be required to keep the deposit separate from
     its general accounts. If Lessee performs all of Lessee's obligations
     hereunder, the deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been
     applied by Lessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or
     other increment for its use, to Lessee (or, at Lessor's option, to the
     last assignee, if any, of Lessee's interest

     hereunder) at the expiration of the term hereof, and after Lessee has
     vacated the premises.  No trust relationship is created herein between
     Lessor and Lessee with respect to the deposit.

33.  WAIVER:  The waiver by Lessor of any agreement, condition or provision
     herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent
     breach of the same or any other agreement, condition or provision
     herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may grow up
     between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be
     construed to waive or to lessen the right of Lessor to insist upon the
     performance by Lessee in strict accordance with said terms.  The
     subsequent acceptance of rental hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed
     to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any agreement,
     condition or provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to
     pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Lessor's knowledge
     of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rental.

34.  NOTICES:  All notices and demands which may be or are required to be

          Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a letter of intent executed by
          Lessee and the proposed sublessee or assignee, specifying
          the terms of the intended sublease or assignment. For a
          period of thirty (30) days after such letter of intent is

          notice to Lessee to recapture the premises or port[illegible]
          there of, as fol[illegible] (1) in the case of a proposed
          sublease, either (A) sublet from Lessee any portion of the
          premises proposed to be sublet for the term for which such
          portion is proposed to be sublet but at the same rent as
          Lessee is required to pay to Lessor under this Lease for
          the same space, computed on a pro-rata square foot basis, or
          (B) if the proposed subletting is for substantially the
          remaining period of the term of this Lease, terminate this
          Lease as it pertains to the portion of the premises so
          proposed by Lessee to be sublet, or (ii) in the case of a
          proposed assignment, terminate this Lease. Lessor may, if
          it elects, enter into a new lease covering the recaptured
          premises or portion thereof with any intended assignee or
          subtenant on such terms as Lessor and such person may agree,
          or enter into a new lease covering the premises or a portion
          thereof with any other person. In the event that Lessor
          exercises its rights to recapture set forth herein, Lessee
          shall not be entitled to any portion of the profit, if any,
          which Lessor may realize on account of such recapture,

          Lessor the unamortized actual costs of all Initial Tenant
          Improvements (less the Tenant Improvements Allowance),
          as well as any additional permanent improvements installed
          by Lessee during the initial one hundred twenty (120) days
          of the Lease. Lessor's exercise of its aforesaid option
          shall not be construed to impose any liability upon
          Lessor with respect to any real estate brokerage
          commissions or any other costs or expenses incurred by
          Lessee in connection with its proposed subletting or
          assignment."

          12.    WARRANTY OF AUTHORITY. Each individual executing this Lease
on behalf of Lessor and Lessee represents and warrants that he or she is
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on its behalf, and to bind said
Lessor and Lessee, as applicable.
