                                OPTION AGREEMENT

         THIS OPTION AGREEMENT (the "Option Agreement") is made and entered into
as of August 5, 2003, BY and between Cendant Membership Services Holdings, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("Cendant") and Homestore, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Homestore").

                                    RECITALS

WHEREAS, Cendant owns certain shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per
share, of Homestore, Inc. (the "Common Stock") and Cendant desires to grant to
Homestore, and Homestore desires to accept from Cendant, an option to acquire up
to 7,264,812 shares of the Common Stock held by Cendant pursuant to the terms of
this Option Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

         1.       OPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
Cendant hereby grants to Homestore an option (the "Option") to purchase up to
7,264,812 shares of the Common Stock held by Cendant (the "Option Shares"). The
parties hereby acknowledge that the exercise price per share of the Option
Shares shall be the highest closing price per share of the Common Stock, as
reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market System, on any of the five (5) most
recent trading days that the Common Stock traded ending on the date Homestore
exercises the Option (the "Option Price"). The number and character of such
Option Shares are subject to adjustment as provided pursuant to Section 6.

         2.       OPTION EXERCISE PERIOD. This Option shall only be exercisable,
if at all, on and from August 15, 2003 through October 4, 2003.

         3.       PARTIAL EXERCISE. This Option may be exercised in whole or in
part as to the Option Shares. Any Option Shares remaining outstanding following
a partial exercise shall continue to be subject to the provisions hereof in all
respects.

         4.       METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written
notice ("Notice") to Cendant in accordance with Section 10(e) and in accordance
with covenants, agreements and conditions set forth in the following sentences.
Such Notice (i) shall state the election to exercise this Option, (ii) shall
state the number of shares that Homestore desires to exercise, (iii) shall state
that Homestore (it being agreed that, in the event of an assignment of this
Option Agreement, the term "Homestore" refers solely to such assignee and not to
Homestore) is not in possession of, and has not been in possession of any
material, nonpublic information concerning Homestore (it being agreed that, in
the event of an assignment of this Option Agreement, the term "Homestore" refers
only to Homestore and not to the assignee) for a period of at least five trading
days prior to and including the date of the Notice, and (iv) shall be signed by
Homestore. The Option Price with respect to the Option Shares exercised shall be
paid in cash or immediately available funds (to a bank wire account identified
by Cendant) within one (1) business day following delivery of the Notice. Upon
payment of the Option Price with respect to the Option Shares exercised, Cendant
shall deliver, or cause to be

<PAGE>

delivered, to Homestore a certificate or certificates, and such additional
instruments as specified in Section 8(a)(ii) below, representing such shares as
soon as practicable (but in no event more than five (5) days from the date of
exercise).

         5.       TRANSFERABILITY. This Option is transferable or assignable by
Homestore in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Cendant,
provided that such Option shall not be transferable to more than five (5)
transferees and provided further that Cendant shall be the beneficiary of and
entitled to any consideration received by Homestore in connection with such
option transfer. In the event the Option is transferred in whole by Homestore,
Cendant agrees to cooperate in the issuance of a replacement option or options
identical to the terms set forth herein (except as provided in Section 8(b)
below) as requested by Homestore and such transferee upon the delivery of this
Option, with applicable transfer instructions, to Cendant for such replacement.

         6.       ADJUSTMENTS. The Option Shares shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.

         If Homestore (i) pays a dividend in shares of capital stock of
Homestore on Cendant's outstanding Common Stock; (ii) distributes shares of
capital stock of Homestore to holders of Common Stock; (iii) subdivides the
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common
Stock; or (iv) combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of the shares of Common Stock, then the Option Shares shall be adjusted
so that the Homestore shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the Option
Price, the number of shares that Homestore would have owned immediately
following such action had the Option been exercised immediately prior to the
action. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall be effective on the
record date in the case of a dividend or distribution, and shall become
effective on the effective date of a subdivision or combination.

         7.       RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. Homestore shall have no rights as a
stockholder of Homestore with respect to any shares underlying the Option until
the day of the exercise of the Option and payment of the Option Price in
accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Cendant shall retain all rights
(voting and otherwise) with respect to the Option Shares prior to any transfers
to Homestore hereunder and Homestore shall have no rights to direct Cendant to
vote such shares in any manner.

         8.       COVENANTS. (a)      Cendant hereby covenants and agrees to the
                  following:

                  (i).     Other than pursuant to this Option Agreement, Cendant
will not assign this Option Agreement or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of
the Option Shares, or grant an option to purchase the Option Shares, or any
portion thereof provided that nothing herein shall prohibit Stockholder from
selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of the Option Shares to any
affiliate of Cendant so long as any disposition of Option Shares to any
affiliate of Cendant shall not extinguish the Option with respect to the Option
Shares in the hands of such affiliate.

                                        2

<PAGE>

                  (ii).    Upon the receipt of the Option Price with respect to
the Option Shares then exercised, Cendant will execute and deliver to Homestore
such instruments of transfer and assignment in such form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Homestore evidencing the transfer of the Option
Shares to Homestore.

                  (b).     Homestore hereby covenants and agrees that Homestore
will not resell any Option Shares for at least six (6) months from the date of
purchase of the Option Shares from Cendant or any of its affiliates. The
preceding sentence shall not apply to any transferee of this Option, provided,
however, that any transferee of Homestore's rights hereunder represents and
warrants that upon transfer of the Option and exercise of such Option, such
transferee is purchasing such Option and Option Shares for investment purposes
only and not for distribution.

         9.       REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Cendant of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Option and (in
the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an unsecured indemnity
agreement in an amount reasonably satisfactory to it, or (in the case of
mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, Cendant will issue, in lieu
hereof, a new Option of like tenor.

         10.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a)      Binding on Successors and Representatives. The
parties understand that this Option Agreement shall be binding not only upon
themselves, but also upon their representatives, successors and assigns; and the
parties agree, for themselves and their representatives, successors and assigns,
to execute any instrument that may be necessary or desirable legally to effect
such understanding.

                  (b)      Entire Agreement. This Option Agreement evidences the
entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Option and supersedes any
previous agreement whether written or oral, with respect thereto.

                  (c)      Amendment. Neither this Option Agreement nor any of
the terms and conditions herein set forth may be altered or amended orally. Any
such alteration or amendment shall be effective only when reduced to writing and

singular or plural shall be construed as plural or singular whenever the context
requires.

2 and notice of exercise, shall be in writing and be deemed to have been duly

         Section 103.      Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

                  Upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee
to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company and any
other obligor on the Securities shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Indenture (including any covenants compliance with which constitutes a condition
precedent) relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such 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,
certificates and/or opinions is specifically required by any provision of this
Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.

                  Every certificate or Opinion of Counsel with respect to
compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall
include:

                  (a)      a statement that each individual signing such
certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions
herein relating thereto;

                  (b)      a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in
such certificate or opinion are based;

                  (c)      a statement that, in the opinion of each such
individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to
enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or
condition has been complied with; and

                  (d)      a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each
such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

         Section 104.      Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

                  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 or
other obligor of the Securities may be based, insofar as it relates to legal
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or

                                       16

<PAGE>

representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion
may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company or
other obligor of the Securities stating that the information with respect to
such factual matters is in the possession of the Company or other obligor of the
Securities, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Opinions of Counsel
required to be delivered to the Trustee may have qualifications customary for
opinions of the type required and counsel delivering such Opinions of Counsel
may rely on certificates of the Company or government or other officials
customary for opinions of the type required, including certificates certifying
as to matters of fact, including that various financial covenants have been
complied with.

                  Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated
and form one instrument.

         Section 105.      Acts of Holders.

                  (a)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given
or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments
(which may take the form of an electronic writing or messaging or otherwise be
in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary or the Trustee) of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly
appointed in writing (which may be in electronic form); and, except as herein
otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture, if made in the manner provided
in this Section. The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing or the authority of the person executing the same, may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient in
accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.

                  (b)      The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the
Security Register.

                  (c)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind
every future Holder of the same Security or the Holder of every Security issued
upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect
of anything done, suffered or omitted to be done by the Trustee, any Paying
Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action
is made upon such Security.

                  (d)      If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
the Company may, at its option, by

                                       17

<PAGE>

or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of such Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company
shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding Trust Indenture Act Section
316(c), any such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant
to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to
the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and no later
than the date such solicitation is completed.

                  In the absence of any such record date fixed by the Company,
regardless as to whether a solicitation of the Holders is occurring on behalf of
the Company or any Holder, the Trustee may, at its option, fix in advance a
record date for the determination of such Holders entitled to give such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Trustee shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be a date
not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in
connection therewith and no later than a date such solicitation is completed.

                  If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for purposes of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities then
Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for this
purpose the Securities then Outstanding shall be computed as of such record
date; provided that no such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

         Section 106.      Notices, etc., to Trustee and the Company.

                  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with:

                  (a)      the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or any
other obligor of the Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder
if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by
recognized overnight courier, to or with the Trustee at the Corporate Trust
Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Division, or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Holders, the Company, any other obligor of the
Securities, by the Trustee; or

                  (b)      the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
(except as provided in Section 501(c)) hereunder if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to
the Company addressed to it at JAKKS Pacific, Inc., 22619 Pacific Coast Highway,
Malibu, California, 90265, Attention: President, or at any other address
previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

<PAGE>

         Section 107.      Notice to Holders; Waiver.

                  Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any
event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or
delivered by recognized overnight courier, to each Holder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither
the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders. Any notice when mailed to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall
be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder whether or not
actually received by such Holder. Where this Indenture provides for notice in
any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

                  In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or
by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any
event as required by any provision of this Indenture, then any method of giving
such notice as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed
to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

         Section 108.      Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

                  If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with
any provision of the Trust Indenture Act or another provision which is required
or deemed to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, the provision or requirement of the Trust Indenture Act shall
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision
of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter
provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be
excluded, as the case may be.

         Section 109.      Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

                  The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of
Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

         Section 110.      Successors and Assigns.

                  All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company
shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

         Section 111.      Separability Clause.

                  In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

                  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or
implied, shall give to any Person (other than the parties hereto and their
successors hereunder, any Paying Agent and the Holders) any benefit or any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

         Section 113.      Governing Law.

                  THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

         Section 114.      Legal Holidays.

                  In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Stated Maturity or other payment date of any Security shall not be a Business
Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities) payment of interest or principal or premium, if any, need not be
made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption
Date, or at the Stated Maturity or other payment date, and no interest shall
accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity, or other payment date to the
next succeeding Business Day.

         Section 115.      Schedules and Exhibits.

         JAKKS PACIFIC, INC., a corporation duly existing and qualified under
the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the "Company," which term
includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, on
June 15, 2023, the Accreted Principal Amount of this Security on such date. For
the sake of clarity, the Accreted Principal Amount of this Security on June 15,
2023 will be $1,811.95 for every $1,000.00 of Principal Amount at Issuance of
this Security, which, assuming that the Principal Amount at Issuance of this
Security is $98,000,000.00, is $177,571,100.00. The Principal Amount at Issuance
of this Security is $98,000,000.00.

                  In addition, for value received, the Company hereby promises
to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, (i) from June 9, 2003, or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided
for, to, but not including June 15, 2010, cash interest at an annual rate of
4.625% of the Principal Amount at Issuance and (ii) from and after June 15, 2010
no cash interest shall be paid. Cash interest on this Security is payable
semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 in each year, with the first
Interest Payment Date being December 15, 2003, and will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. Each payment of cash
interest on this Security will include interest accrued through the day before
the applicable Interest Payment Date (or Optional Repurchase Date,

                                       23

<PAGE>

Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Redemption Date or, in certain
circumstances, Conversion Date, as the case may be).

         The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the
Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
payment, which shall be the May 15 or November 15 (whether or not a Business
Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such
interest not so punctually paid, or duly provided for, and interest on such
Defaulted Interest at the interest rate borne by the Securities, to the extent
lawful, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record
Date, and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one
or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by
the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in
any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

         Subject to the conditions of the Indenture and the accrual and record
date provisions specified below, the Company shall pay contingent interest
("Contingent Interest") to the Holders during any six-month period from June 15
to December 14 and from December 15 to June 14, commencing with the six-month
period beginning June 15, 2010, if the average Security Price for the
Five-Trading-Day Measurement Period with respect to such six month period equals
120% or more of the Accreted Principal Amount of such Securities to, but
excluding, the day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant six month
period. Contingent Interest will be paid only in cash.

         Contingent Interest, if any, will accrue from June 15 or December 15,
as applicable, and will be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.
Contingent Interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Security is
registered on the next preceding Regular Record Date on which Contingent
Interest is payable.

         The amount of Contingent Interest payable per Security in respect of
any six-month period will equal 0.375% per annum of the average Security Price
for the Five-Trading-Day Measurement Period.

         The Holder of this Security is entitled to the benefits of the
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2003, between the Company and
the Initial Purchaser, including the provisions contained therein regarding the
payment of Additional Amounts (as defined therein). Any Additional Amounts due
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement will be payable in cash on the
Interest Payment Dates related to the Securities. The Additional Amounts will be
determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Amounts rate by the Accreted
Principal Amount of the Securities, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of days such Additional Amounts rate was applicable during
the period, and the denominator of which is 360.

                                       24

<PAGE>

         Payment of the Accreted Principal Amount (including Contingent Interest
and Additional Amounts) and interest on this Security will be made at the office
or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose, in such coin or currency
of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest
may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register.
If any of the Securities are held by the Depositary, payments of interest
(including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts) to the Depositary may be
made by wire transfer to the Depositary.

         Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

         All references in this Security or in the Indenture to "interest" or
"accrued and unpaid interest" shall be deemed to include, to the extent
applicable, a reference to Additional Amounts and Contingent Interest.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been duly executed
by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof or by the authenticating agent
appointed as provided in the Indenture by manual signature, this Security shall
not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly
executed by the manual or facsimile signature of its authorized officers.

                                       25

1.       Indenture.

         This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the
Company designated as its Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (herein called the
"Securities"), limited in Principal Amount at Issuance to $98,000,000, which may
be issued under an indenture (herein called the "Indenture"), dated as of June
9, 2003, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations
of rights, duties, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Indenture does
not limit other Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries, secured or
unsecured.

2.       Ranking.

         This Security constitutes a senior unsecured general obligation of the
Company, ranking equally with other existing and future senior unsecured
Indebtedness the Company has incurred or may incur, ranking senior in right of
payment to any future Indebtedness that is expressly made subordinate to the
Securities and ranking subordinate to secured Indebtedness the Company has
incurred.

3.       Redemption at the Option of the Company.

         No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. The Securities are
subject to redemption for cash in whole or from time to time in part on or after
June 15, 2010, at the option of the Company, on not less than 30 nor more than
60 days' prior notice by first-class mail at a redemption price equal to the
Accreted Principal Amount of the Security so redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest (including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts), if any, to but
excluding the Redemption Date.

         The Redemption Prices on June 15, 2010 and on each subsequent December
15 and June 15 thereafter prior to June 15, 2023 and on June 15, 2023 are set
forth in the table below. In addition to the Redemption Prices set forth on such
table, the Redemption Price on any Redemption Date that falls between the dates
listed would be the Accreted Principal Amount as of such Redemption Date plus
accrued and unpaid cash interest (including Contingent Interest and Additional
Amounts) to but excluding the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders
of record on relevant Interest Payment Dates to receive interest due on an
Interest Payment Date) that has accrued on a Security since the immediately
preceding date on which interest was paid.

         If less than all of the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee
shall select the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed by lot, or in its
discretion, on a pro rata basis or by any other method the Trustee shall deem
fair and reasonable. If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, a new
Security in Principal Amount at Issuance equal to the unredeemed portion of
Principal Amount at Issuance will be issued. If a portion of a Holder's
Securities is selected for partial redemption and such Holder converts a portion
of its Securities, the converted portion will be deemed to be of the portion
selected for redemption.

         In the case of any redemption of Securities, interest installments
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to
the Holders of such Securities of record as of the close of business on the
relevant record date referred to on the face hereof. Securities (or portions
thereof) whose redemption and payment is made in accordance with the Indenture
shall cease to bear interest from and after the date of redemption.

4.       Repurchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder.

         Each Holder may require the Company to repurchase on June 15, 2010,
June 15, 2013 and June 15, 2018, all or a portion of such Holder's Securities,
at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the Accreted Principal Amount plus any
accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest and Additional
Amounts) to but excluding the Optional Repurchase Date. Any Securities purchased
on June 15, 2010 will be paid for in cash. Securities purchased on June 15, 2013
and June 15, 2018 may be purchased in cash, shares of Common Stock or a
combination of cash and shares of Common Stock at the Company's option,
provided, however that any accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent
Interest and Additional Amounts) will be paid in cash.

         In addition, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, each Holder
may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of such Holder's
Securities, at a purchase price in cash equal to the Accreted Principal Amount
on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date plus any accrued and unpaid interest
(including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts), if any, to, but
excluding, the date of repurchase. Securities submitted for repurchase must have
a Principal Amount at Issuance equal to $1,000 or multiples of $1,000.

         Holders have the right to withdraw any Optional Repurchase Notice or
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, by delivering to the
Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of
the Indenture.

         In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the
name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

5.       Conversion.

         Under the circumstances provided for in, and subject to compliance with
the provisions of, the Indenture, a Holder of a Security may, at such Holder's
option, convert such Security (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 Principal
Amount at Issuance or multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) into shares of
Common Stock at the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of conversion;
provided, however, that if the Security is called for redemption pursuant to
Article Eleven of the Indenture or is submitted or presented for repurchase
pursuant to Articles Fourteen or Fifteen of the Indenture, the conversion right
will terminate at the close of business on the second Business Day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date, Optional Repurchase Date or the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, for such Security or such earlier
date as the Holder presents such Security for redemption or repurchase (unless
the Company shall default in paying the redemption payment, Optional Repurchase
Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, when due, in
which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the
date such default is cured and such Security is redeemed or purchased, as the
case may be).

         The Company will notify Holders of any event triggering the right to
convert the Security as specified above in accordance with the Indenture.

option of such Holder to require the Company to repurchase such Security may be
converted only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture.

         The initial Conversion Rate is fifty (50) shares of Common Stock per
$1,000 Principal Amount at Issuance (with no adjustment provided for any
accretion from and after June 15, 2010), subject to adjustment under certain
circumstances. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion; in lieu
thereof, an amount will be paid in cash based upon the Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

         To convert a Security, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the
conversion notice set forth below and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent,
(b) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents if required by a Registrar or a Conversion
Agent, and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The Conversion
Agent may assume that any Holder that delivers a conversion notice is entitled
to convert this Security without independent verification.

         A Holder may convert a portion of the Securities of this series only if
the Principal Amount at Issuance of such portion is $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000. No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends on the
Common Stock except as provided in the Indenture. On conversion of Securities of
this series, that portion of accrued and unpaid interest, including Contingent
Interest and Additional Amounts, if any, and accrued Principal Accretion on such
Securities attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date
(or, if no Interest Payment Date has occurred, from the original issue date)
through the Conversion Date and Tax Original Issue Discount accrued through the
Conversion Date with respect to such converted Securities shall not be
cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in
full to the Holder thereof through delivery of the Common Stock (together with
any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) in exchange for such Securities
being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof, and the fair market value of
such shares of Common Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of
fractional shares) shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in
exchange for accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest and
Additional Amounts, if any), accrued Principal Accretion and Tax Original Issue
Discount accrued through the Conversion Date and the balance, if any, of such
fair market value of such Common Stock (and any such cash payment), shall be
treated as issued in exchange for the Principal Amount at Issuance of such
Securities being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

6.       Calculations.

         The Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for
under this Security. These calculations include, but are not limited to,
determinations of accrued interest, including Contingent Interest and Additional
Amounts, the Redemption Price, the Conversion Price, the Optional Repurchase
Price, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, the Sale Price of the Company's
Common Stock and other calculations related to a Holder's conversion rights. The
Company will make these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error,
the

                                       29

<PAGE>

calculations will be final and binding on any Holder of this Security. The
Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to each of the Trustee and
the Conversion Agent, and each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent is
entitled to rely upon the accuracy of such calculations with independent
verification. The Trustee may forward the Company's calculations to any Holder
of this Security upon request.

7.       Events of Default.

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

8.       Transfer; Exchange; Registration.

         If this Security is in certificated form, then as provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of
this Security is registrable on the Security Register of the Company, upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency
of the Company maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized
denominations and for the same principal amount, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.

         The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 of the Principal Amount at Issuance and any integral
multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like
aggregate Principal Amount at Issuance of a different authorized denomination,
as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.

         Prior to and at the time of due presentment of this Security for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes (subject to provisions with respect to record
dates for the payment of interest), whether or not this Security is overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

         If this Security is a Global Security, except as described below, it is
not exchangeable for a Security or Securities in certificated form. The
Securities will be delivered in certificated form if (i) the Depositary ceases
to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act or is no longer
willing or able to provide securities depository services with respect to the
Securities, (ii) the Company so determines or (iii) there shall have occurred an
Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time
or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities
represented by such Global Security and such Event of Default or

                                       30

<PAGE>

event continues for a period of 90 days. Upon any such issuance, the Trustee is
required to register such certificated Security in the name of, and cause the
same to be delivered to, such Person or Persons (or the nominee of any thereof).

         At any time when the Company is not subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, upon the written request of a Holder of a Security, the
Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information to
such Holder or to a prospective purchaser of such Security who such Holder
informs the Company is reasonably believed to be a Qualified Institutional
Buyer, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such Holder with
Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

9.       Amendment.

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions (including certain
amendments permitted without the consent of any Holders) as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a specified
percentage of the Principal Amount at Issuance of the Securities at the time
Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages of the Principal Amount at Issuance 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 or on behalf of 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 the 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.

10.      No Impairment of Obligations.

         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 or any
other obligor upon the Securities (in the event such other obligor is obligated
to make payments in respect of the Securities), which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this
Security at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed.

11.      Governing Law.

         THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF
LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

12.      Defined Terms.

                  All terms used in this Security which are defined in the
Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to

on the Securities and shall be substantially in the form as follows:

TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION.

                  This is one of the Securities referred to in the
within-mentioned Indenture.

                                    WELLS FARGO BANK,
                                    NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,

                                  ARTICLE THREE

                                 THE SECURITIES

         Section 301.      Title and Terms.

                  The initial Principal Amount at Issuance of Securities which
will be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is $98,000,000 in
principal amount of Securities, except for Securities authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of,
other Securities pursuant to Section 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 906, Article
Eleven, Article Fourteen or Article Fifteen.

                  The Securities shall be known and designated as the
"Convertible Senior Notes due 2023" of the Company. The Stated Maturity of the
Securities shall be June 15, 2023. On June 15, 2023, the Company shall pay to
the Holder of the Securities the Accreted Principal Amount of the Securities
held by such Holder plus accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent
Interest and Additional Amounts), if any. The Securities shall (i) bear from
June 15, 2003, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest
has been paid or provided for, to, but not including June 15, 2010, cash
interest at an annual rate of 4.625% of the Principal Amount at Issuance and
(ii) from and after June 15, 2010 no cash interest shall be paid. Cash interest
on the Securities is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15
of each year, with the first Interest Payment Date being December 15, 2003, and
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months. Each payment of cash interest on this Security will include interest
accrued through the day before the applicable Interest Payment Date (or Optional
Repurchase Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Redemption Date or, in
certain circumstances, Conversion Date, as the case may be).

                  Accretion on the Principal Amount at Issuance of the
Securities will begin on June 15, 2010. The calculation of the Principal
Accretion will be on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis using a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months and the Accreted Principal Amount of a
Security will accrete in an amount so that when combined with the cash interest
payable on the Securities, the yield to Maturity of the Securities will be
4.625%, as specified in the definition of "Principal Accretion" herein.

                  Any Contingent Interest payable hereunder, and any Additional
Amounts payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, will be deemed to
be interest for purposes of this Indenture.

                  The Accreted Principal Amount and interest on the Securities
shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company interest may be
paid (i) by check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such
addresses shall appear on the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to an account specified (not later than one Business
Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date) by the Holder thereof. If any
of the Securities are held by the Depositary, payments of interest may be made
by wire transfer to the Depositary. The Trustee is hereby initially designated
as the Paying Agent under this Indenture.

                                       34

<PAGE>

                  The Securities shall be convertible into Common Stock of the
Company subject to the terms of and to the extent described in Article Four.

                  The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article
Eleven.

                  The Securities shall be repurchased, at the option of the
Holder, upon a Fundamental Change as provided in Article Fourteen of this
Indenture or upon the Optional Repurchase Date as provided in Article Fifteen of
this Indenture.

         Section 302.      Denominations.

                  The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 of the Principal Amount at
Issuance and any integral multiple thereof.

         Section 303.      Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

                  The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by
one of its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents
attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of
any officer on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

                  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
provided in this Indenture 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 duly executed by the Trustee by manual or facsimile signature of an
authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder.

                  In case the Company, pursuant to Article Eight, shall be
consolidated, merged with or into any other Person or shall sell, assign,
convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its properties and assets to any
Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving
such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the Person
which shall have received a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer or lease as
aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee
pursuant to Article Nine, any of

                                       35

<PAGE>

the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger,
sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer or lease may, from time to time, at the
request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in
the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as
may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities
surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee,
upon Company Request of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver
Securities as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If
Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a
successor Person pursuant to this Section in exchange or substitution for or
upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the
option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the
exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated
and delivered in such new name.

                  The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to
the Company to authenticate Securities on behalf of the Trustee. 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. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as any Security Registrar or Paying
Agent to deal with the Company and its Affiliates.

         Section 304.      Temporary Securities.

                  Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company
may execute, and upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their
execution of such Securities.

                  After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary
Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the
temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such
purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender
for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations.
Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

         Section 305.      Global Securities.

                  (a)      Each Global Security initially shall (i) be
registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or the nominee
of such Depositary, (ii) be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary or
with the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear a legend as set
forth in Section 202(a); provided, however, the Securities are eligible to be in
the form of a Global Security.

                                       36

<PAGE>

                  Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent
Members") 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 the 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 herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall
impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any
Security.

                  (b)      Transfers of the Global Security shall be limited to
transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary,
its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a
Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures
of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 307. Under the circumstances
described in clause (a) above, and in this clause (b) below, beneficial owners
shall obtain physical securities in the form set forth in Sections 202, 203 and
204 ("Physical Securities") in exchange for their beneficial interests in a
Global Security in accordance with the Depositary's and the Securities
Registrar's procedures. In connection with the execution, authentication and
delivery of such Physical Securities, the Security Registrar shall reflect on
its books and records a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security
equal to the principal amount of such Physical Securities and the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical
Securities having an equal aggregate principal amount. The Securities will be
delivered in certificated form if (i) the Depositary ceases to be registered as
a clearing agency under the Exchange Act or is not willing or no longer willing
or able to provide securities depository services with respect to the Securities
and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (ii)
the Company, in its sole discretion, so determines or (iii) there shall have
occurred an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or
lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities represented by such Global Security and such Event of Default or
event continues for a period of 90 days.

                  (c)      In connection with any transfer of a portion of the
beneficial interest in a Global Security pursuant to subsection (b) of this
Section to beneficial owners who are required to hold Physical Securities, the
Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a
decrease in the principal amount of a Global Security in an amount equal to the
principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be
transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount.

                  (d)      In connection with the transfer of the entire Global
Security to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section, a
Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange
for its beneficial interest in a Global Security, an equal aggregate principal
amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations.

                                       37

<PAGE>

                  (e)      Any Physical Security delivered in exchange for an
interest in Global Securities pursuant to subsection (c) or subsection (d) of
this Section shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 307, bear the
Restricted Securities Legend.

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

                  (g)      The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of
a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes
under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a
Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Depositary's customary
procedures. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a Global
Security will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be
effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or
its Agent Members.

         Section 306.      Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

                  The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, or such other office as the Trustee may designate, a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or
agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as
the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Security Registrar may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee or an agent thereof or
of the Company shall initially be the "Security Registrar" for the purpose of
registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

                  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at
the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of
any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount.

                  Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by
acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interest
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 Securities shall be required to be
reflected in a book entry.

                  At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for
other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at
such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities of the same series which the Holder making the exchange is entitled
to receive.

                                       38

<PAGE>

                  All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing
the same Indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture,
as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

                  Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer, or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or
the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

                  No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any
registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or
similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be
imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 303, 304, 305, 306, 307,
308, 906 or Article Eleven, Article Fourteen or Article Fifteen not involving
any transfer.

                  The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of
business (i) 15 days before the date of selection of Securities for redemption
under Section 1104 (which date of selection is the date on which the Company
issued a notice of redemption) and ending at the close of business on the day of
such selection or (ii) 15 days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on the
close of business on the Interest Payment Date, (b) to register the transfer of
or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part or (c) to exchange
or register a transfer of any Securities surrendered for conversion or, if a
portion of any Security is surrendered for conversion, the portion thereof
surrendered for conversion.

                  Every Restricted Security shall be subject to the restrictions
on transfer provided in the legend required to be set forth on the face of each
Restricted Security pursuant to Section 202(a), and the restrictions set forth
in this Section 306, and the Holder of each Restricted Security, by such
Holder's acceptance thereof (or interest therein), agrees to be bound by such
restrictions on transfer.

                  The restrictions imposed by this Section 306 upon the
transferability of any particular Restricted Security shall cease and terminate
on (a) the later of two years from their date of issuance or two years after the
last date on which the Company or any Affiliate of the Company was the owner of
such Restricted Security (or any predecessor of such Restricted Security) or (b)
(if earlier) if and when such Restricted Security has been sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred
pursuant to Rule 144 or under the Securities Act (or any successor provision),
unless the Holder thereof is an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of
Rule 144 (or such successor provisions). Any Restricted Security as to which
such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms
or shall have terminated may, upon surrender of such Restricted Security for
exchange to the Security Registrar in accordance with the provision of this
Section 306 (accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have
terminated pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor

provision), by an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee, to the effect that the transfer of such Restricted Security has been
made in compliance with Rule 144 (or any such successor provision)), be
exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount,
which shall not bear the Restricted Securities Legend. The Company shall inform
the Trustee of the effective date of any Registration Statement registering the
Securities under the Securities Act no later than two Business Days after such
effective date.

                  Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, any Security
authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange
for, or in lieu of, any Global Security, whether pursuant to this Section,
Section 304, 308, 906 or 1108 or otherwise, shall also be a Global Security and
bear the legend specified in Section 202(a).

         Section 307.      Special Transfer Provisions.

                  Unless and until a Security is sold under an effective
Registration Statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the
following provisions shall apply (except to the extent inconsistent with the
Applicable Procedures):

                  (a)      Restricted Securities Legend. Rule 144A Global
Securities and their successor securities shall bear a Restricted Securities
Legend, subject to the following:

                           (i)      subject to the following clauses of this
                  Section 307(a), a Security or any portion thereof which is
                  exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security
                  or any portion thereof shall bear the Restricted Securities
                  Legend borne by such Global Security while represented
                  thereby;

                           (ii)     subject to the following Clauses of this
                  Section 307(a), a new Security which is not a Global Security
                  and is issued in exchange for another Security (including a
                  Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or
                  otherwise, shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne
                  by such other Security;

                           (iii)    All Securities included on or sold or
                  otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration
                  statement under the Securities Act, together with their
                  respective successor securities, shall not bear a Restricted
                  Securities Legend (and in such event the Company shall
                  exchange a Global Security which bears the Restricted
                  Securities Legend, in whole or in part, for one or more Global
                  Securities which do not have such rights;

                           (iv)     at any time after the Securities may be
                  freely transferred without registration under the Securities
                  Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant
                  to the Securities Act, a new Security which does not bear a
                  Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or
                  in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any
                  portion thereof which bears such a legend if the Trustee has
                  received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate substantially
                  in the form of Exhibit B hereto, satisfactory to the Trustee
                  and duly executed by the

                                       40

<PAGE>

                  Holder of such legended Security or his attorney duly
                  authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such
                  certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such a
                  new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Security
                  as provided in this Article Three;

                           (v)      a new Security which does not bear a
                  Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or
                  in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any
                  portion thereof which bears such a legend if, in the Company's
                  judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not
                  necessary to ensure compliance with the registration
                  requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the
                  direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such
                  a new Security as provided in this Article Three.

                  (b)      General. 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 in
the Restricted Securities Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security
only as provided in this Indenture.

                  The Security Registrar shall retain copies of all letters,
notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 306 or
this Section 307. 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 Security Registrar.

         Section 308.      Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

                  If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee,
or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the
Company and the Trustee, such security or indemnity, in each case, as may be
required by them to save each 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 or protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its
written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any
such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, a replacement Security of like tenor and principal amount, 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
may, instead of issuing a replacement Security, pay such Security.

                  Upon the issuance of any replacement Securities under this
Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay all
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental
charges that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

                  Every replacement Security issued pursuant to this Section in
lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of

                                       41

<PAGE>

the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all 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 309.      Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

                  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 is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest.

                  Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date and interest
on such defaulted interest at the then applicable interest rate borne by the
Securities, to the extent lawful (such defaulted interest and interest thereon
herein collectively called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date; and such Defaulted Interest
may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in
subsection (a) or (b) below:

                  (a)      The Company may elect to make payment of any
Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities are registered
at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company
shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed
to be paid on each Security and the date (not less than 30 days after such
notice) of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection provided.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10
days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after
the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Company in writing of such Special Record Date. In the
name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it
appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities are registered on
such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the
following subsection (b).

                  (b)      The Company may make payment of any Defaulted
Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after

                                       42

<PAGE>

written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the
Trustee.

                  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

         Section 310.      Persons Deemed Owners.

                  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,
premium, if any, and (subject to Section 309) interest on such Security, for the
purpose of conversion and for all other purposes whatsoever, including payment
of any Redemption Price, Optional Redemption Price or Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price, whether or not such Security is overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. No holder of any beneficial interest in any
Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under
this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be
treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary
or impair, as between the Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests,
the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the
Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.

         Section 311.      Cancellation.

                  All Securities surrendered for payment, purchase, redemption,
conversion, registration of transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the
Trustee (even if initially surrendered to a Person other than the Trustee) and,
if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at
any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled
by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange
for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section or for any Securities
that any Holder has converted pursuant to this Indenture, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall
be destroyed and certification of their destruction delivered to the Company
unless by a Company Order the Company shall direct that the cancelled Securities
be returned to it. The Trustee shall provide the Company a list of all
Securities that have been cancelled from time to time as requested by the
Company.

         Section 312.      Computation of Interest.

                  Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

         Section 313.      CUSIP Numbers.

                  The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers
(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption 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.

                                  ARTICLE FOUR

                                   CONVERSION

         Section 401.      Conversion Privilege.

                  (a)      Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of
this Article, at the option of the Holder, any Security or any portion thereof
which is an integral multiple of $1,000 of the Principal Amount at Issuance may
be converted into duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock if any of the conditions to conversion set forth in this Section 401 are
satisfied. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a
Security (the "Conversion Rate") shall be determined at a Conversion Rate of
fifty (50) shares of Common Stock per $1,000 of the Principal Amount at Issuance
of the Securities (and with no effect given to any accretion on the principal
amount after June 15, 2010), other than pursuant to Section 401(a)(ii), subject
to the adjustments in Section 406.

                           (i)      Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Common Stock
                  Price Conditions

                  Any Holder may surrender all or any portion of his or her
Securities for conversion into Common Stock (at the then applicable Conversion
Rate) during any Calendar Quarter if, as of the last day of the preceding
Calendar Quarter, the Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading
Days in the 30 Trading Day period ending on the last day of such preceding
Calendar Quarter exceeds 120% of the Accreted Conversion Price per share of
Common Stock on the last Trading Day of such preceding Calendar Quarter (the
Sale Price of the Common Stock at or above which the Securities may be converted
being referred to herein as the "Conversion Trigger Price").

                  The table below shows the Conversion Trigger Price per share
of Common Stock in respect of each Calendar Quarter during the life of the
Securities based on the initial Conversion Rate, assuming that no events have
occurred that would require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate.

                           (ii)     Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Security
Price Conditions

                  Any Holder may surrender all or any portion of his or her
Securities for conversion into Common Stock during the five consecutive Trading
Day period following any 10 consecutive Trading Day period in which (A) the
Security Price of the Securities for each Trading Day during such 10 day period
was less than 105% of the Conversion Value for the Securities and (B) the
Conversion Value for each Trading Day during such 10 day period was less than
90% of the Accreted Principal Amount of the Securities; provided, however, that
to the extent a Holder converts Securities pursuant to this provision, such
Holder will receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the lesser of
(A) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would receive using a
Conversion Rate equal to the Conversion Rate on the last Trading Day preceding
the Conversion Date or (B) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
Accreted Principal Amount of the Securities being converted divided by the Sale
Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day preceding the Conversion Date.

                           (iii)    Conversion Upon Notice of Redemption

                  Any Holder may surrender all or any portion of his or her
Securities for conversion into Common Stock at the then-applicable Conversion
Rate if the Company has called the Securities for redemption, at any time prior
to the close of business on the day that is two Business Days prior to the
Redemption Date, even if the Securities are not otherwise convertible at that
time.

                           (iv)     Conversion Upon a Credit Rating Event

                  Any Holder may surrender all or any portion of his or her
Securities for conversion into Common Stock at any time at the then-applicable
Conversion Rate, if the credit ratings assigned to the Securities by either
Moody's or S&P are downgraded by two or more notches or the Securities cease to
be rated; provided, however, that the Company has no obligation to have the
Securities rated. For purposes of clarity, a credit rating will be deemed to
have moved by two notches if, for example, it moves two notches within a
category (e.g., BB+ to BB-).

                           (v)      Conversion Upon Specified Corporate
Transactions

                  Any Holder may surrender all or any portion of his or her
Securities for conversion into Common Stock at any time at the then-applicable
Conversion Rate if (A) the Company distributes to all holders of its shares of
Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 60
days of the record date for such distribution) to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the Sale Price of the
Common Stock at the time of the announcement of such distribution, (B) the
Company distributes to all holders of its shares of Common Stock, cash or other
assets, debt securities or rights or warrants to purchase its securities, which
distribution (together with all other distributions covered by this clause (B)
not triggering a conversion right during the preceding 12 months) has a per
share value exceeding 5% of the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the day
preceding the declaration date for the distribution, or (C) a Fundamental Change
occurs. In each case, the Security may be surrendered for conversion into shares
of Common Stock at any time after the Company provides notice of such event (1)
until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior
to the Ex-Dividend Time or the date of the Company's announcement that the
distribution will not take place, in the case of a distribution, or (2) until 40
days thereafter, in the case of a Fundamental Change. The Company will provide
notice to the Holders at least 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Time for a
distribution or within 20 business days of the occurrence of a Fundamental
Change, as the case may be, of the occurrence of any such event. In the case of
a distribution, Holders may not convert Securities if they will otherwise
participate in the distribution without conversion as a result of holding the
Securities, or

                  In addition, any Holder may surrender all or any portion of
his or her Securities for conversion into Common Stock at any time at the
then-applicable Conversion Rate if the Company consolidates with or merges into
another corporation, or is a party to a binding share exchange pursuant to which
the shares of Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other
property as set forth in Section 411 hereof. In such event, the Security may be
surrendered for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days
prior to the date announced by the Company as the anticipated effective time of
such transaction until 15 days after the actual date of such transaction. In the
event a Holder does not convert its Security during this time period, such
Holder will be entitled to receive, upon conversion, the kind and amount of
cash, securities or other property that it would have received if it had
converted its Security immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or
binding share exchange.

                  (b)      The Company shall determine on a daily basis whether
the Security shall be convertible as a result of the occurrence of an event
specified in clause (a)(i) or clause (a)(ii) above and, if the Security shall be
so convertible, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee written notice
thereof. Whenever the Security shall become convertible pursuant to Section 401,
the Company or, at the Company's written request, the Trustee in the name and at
the expense of the Company, shall notify the Holders of the event triggering
such convertibility in the manner provided in Section 402, and the Company shall
also publicly announce such information and publish it on the Company's web site
(or otherwise broadly disseminate the information in any manner deemed
reasonable by the Company). Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Security is called for
redemption pursuant to Article Eleven or is submitted or presented for
repurchase pursuant to Articles Fourteen or Fifteen, such conversion right shall
terminate at the close of business on the second Business Day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date, Optional Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, as the case may be, for such Security or such earlier date as
the Holder presents such Security for redemption or for purchase (unless the
Company shall default in making the Redemption Price, Optional Repurchase Price
or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payment when due, in which case the
conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such
default is cured and such Security is redeemed or purchased, as the case may
be). If such Security is submitted or presented for purchase pursuant to Article
Fourteen or Article Fifteen and is then subsequently withdrawn, such conversion
right shall no longer be deemed terminated, and the Holder of such Security may
convert such Security pursuant to this Section 401.

                  A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered an
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice pursuant to Section 1401 or an Optional
Repurchase Notice pursuant to Section 1501(c) exercising the option of such
Holder to require the Company to repurchase such Security may be converted only
if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or Optional Repurchase Notice, as
the case may be, is withdrawn by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to a
Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the second Business Day
immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Optional
Repurchase Date, as the case may be, in accordance with Sections 1402 or 1502,
respectively.

                  A Holder of Securities is not entitled to any rights of a
holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Securities to Common
Stock, and only to the extent such Securities are deemed to have been converted
into Common Stock pursuant to this Article Four.

                  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all
of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.

         Section 402. Conversion Procedures.

                  To convert a Security, a Holder must (a) complete and manually
sign the conversion notice on the back of the Security and deliver such notice
to a Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (c)
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer

                                       48

<PAGE>

documents if required by a Conversion Agent, and (d) pay any transfer or similar
tax, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of those
requirements is the "Conversion Date." The Conversion Agent may assume that any
Holder that delivers such conversion notice is entitled to convert the Security
without independent investigation. As soon as practicable after the Conversion
Date, but in any event no later than the fifth Business Day following the
Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder through a Conversion
Agent a certificate for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion and cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section
403. The Company shall set forth the full number of shares and the amounts of
the required cash in lieu of fractional shares in an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Conversion Agent. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the case of Global Securities, conversion notices may be
delivered and such Securities may be surrendered for conversion in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

                  The person in whose name the Common Stock certificate is
registered shall be deemed to be a stockholder of record on the Conversion Date;
provided, however, that no surrender of a Security on any date when the stock
transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute
the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such
conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on
such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or
persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or
holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding
day on which such stock transfer books are open; provided, further, that such
conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date as
if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed on such date.
Upon conversion of a Security, such person shall no longer be deemed a Holder of
such Security.

                  Securities surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part)
during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date for an
interest payment to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date (excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on
a Redemption Date during the period beginning at the close of business on a
Regular Record Date and ending at the opening of business on the first Business
Day after the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment
Date is not a Business Day, the second such Business Day) shall also be
accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to
the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the aggregate Principal
Amount at Issuance of such Security then being converted, and such interest
shall be payable to such registered Holder notwithstanding the conversion of
such Security, subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the
payment of Defaulted Interest by the Company. Accordingly, a Holder shall be
entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest, including any Contingent
Interest, in respect of a Security if the Company calls such Security for
redemption and such Holder converts its Security prior to the Redemption Date.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 402, no payment or adjustment will
be made for accrued interest on a converted Security. If the Company defaults in
the payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date, the Company shall
promptly repay such funds to such Holder.

                  If Contingent Interest is payable to Holders of Securities
during any particular Contingent Interest Period, and such Securities are
converted after the applicable Regular Record

                                       49

<PAGE>

Date therefor and prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, holders of
such Securities at the close of business on the Regular Record Date will receive
the Contingent Interest payable on such Securities on the corresponding Interest
Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Such Securities, upon surrender for
conversion, must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of Contingent
Interest payable on the Principal Amount at Issuance of Securities so converted,
unless such Securities have been called for redemption, in which case no such
payment shall be required.

                  Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of a Holder in
whose name any Security is registered at the close of business on a record date
to receive the interest payable on such Security on the related Interest Payment
Date in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities. If a
Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the aggregate
Principal Amount at Issuance of Securities converted.

                  Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder, a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of
the Security surrendered.

                  If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based
on the total principal amount of the Securities converted.

                  If the last day on which Securities may be converted is not a
Business Day in a place where a Conversion Agent is located, the Securities may
be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is a
Business Day.

                  Except as otherwise stated in this Indenture, the Company will
not make any payment in cash or Common Stock or any other adjustment for accrued
and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts) or
accrued Principal Accretion or Tax Original Issue Discount on the Securities or
dividends in connection with the issuance of any Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the Securities. On conversion of a Security, except as otherwise
stated herein, a Holder will not receive any cash payment or additional shares
in respect thereof representing accrued Principal Accretion, accrued and unpaid
cash interest (including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts) and Tax
Original Issue Discount. Delivery by the Company to the Holder of the full
number of shares of Common Stock into which the Security is convertible,
together with any cash payment for such Holder's fractional shares, will be
deemed to satisfy the Company's obligation to pay the Principal Amount at
Issuance of the Security and to satisfy its obligation to pay accrued Principal
Accretion or any accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest and
Additional Amounts) and Tax Original Issue Discount attributable to the period
from the Issue Date through the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued Principal
Accretion, any accrued and unpaid cash interest (including Contingent Interest
and Additional Amounts) and Tax Original Issue Discount is deemed paid in full
rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
accrued cash interest (including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts), if
any, will be payable upon any

                                       50

<PAGE>

conversion of the Securities at the option of the Holder made concurrently with
or after acceleration of the Securities following an Event of Default under the
Securities.

         Section 403. Fractional Shares.

                  The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of Securities. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay an amount
in cash based upon the Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

         Section 404. Taxes on Conversion.

                  If a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares
of Common Stock upon such conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax
which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other
than the Holder's name. The Conversion Agent shall refuse to deliver the
certificate representing the Common Stock being issued in a name other than the
Holder's name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any
tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than
the Holder's name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by
law or regulation.

         Section 405. Company to Provide Stock.

                  The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities
hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve, out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of
Common Stock.

                  All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the
Securities shall be newly issued shares, shall be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from preemptive rights
and free of any lien or adverse claim.

                  The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal
and state securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common
Stock upon conversion of Securities, if any, and will list or cause to have
quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national securities exchange or on
the Nasdaq National Market or other over-the-counter market or such other market
on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted; provided, however, that if
rules of such automated quotation system or exchange permit the Company to defer
the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of the Securities
into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the
Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Securities in accordance with the requirements of such automated quotation
system or exchange at such time.

         Section 406. Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

                  The Conversion Rate as stated in the Securities shall be
adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

                                       51

<PAGE>

                  (a)      In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on its
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) make a distribution on its Common
Stock in shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock
into a greater number of shares, or (iv) combine its outstanding Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior
thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter
surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive that number of shares of
Common Stock which it would have owned had such Security been converted
immediately prior to the happening of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to
this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in
the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of subdivision or combination.

                  (b)      In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or
options to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them
(for a period commencing no earlier than the record date described below and
expiring not more than 60 days after such record date) 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 per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with
subsection (g) of this Section 406) on the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options, the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted by
multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such record date
by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on such record date, plus the number of shares of Common Stock
so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible
securities so offered are convertible), and the denominator of which shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on
such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible
securities so offered, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities
by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such
convertible securities) would purchase at the current market price per share (as
defined in Section 406(g) herein). Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any such rights, warrants or options are issued, and shall become
effective immediately after such record date. If at the end of the period during
which such rights, warrants or options are exercisable not all rights, warrants
or options shall have been exercised, the adjusted Conversion Rate shall be
immediately readjusted to what it would have been based upon the number of
additional shares of Common Stock actually issued (or the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible securities actually
issued). No adjustment shall be made hereunder if as a result the Conversion
Rate would decrease.

                  (c)      In case the Company shall distribute to all or
substantially all holders of its Common Stock any Equity Interests of the
Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash
assets (including securities of any person other than the Company but excluding
dividends or distributions referred to in subsection (a)(i) or (ii) of this
Section 406), or shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its
Common Stock rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its
securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in subsection (b) of
this Section 406), then in each such case the Conversion

                                       52

<PAGE>

Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately
prior to the close of business on the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the current market price per share of Common Stock (determined as
provided in subsection (g) of this Section 406) on such record date and the
denominator shall be such current market price less the fair market value (as
determined by the Board of Directors whose determination shall be conclusive and
described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the evidences of
indebtedness, shares of capital stock, and other assets to be distributed or of
such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock
(determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on
the record date). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
distribution.

                  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"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such
shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in
respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been
distributed for purposes of this Section 406(c) (and no adjustment to the
Conversion Rate under this Section 406(c) 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 Rate under this Section 406(c), (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 warrants (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 (2) in the case of
such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired or been terminated
without exercise, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and
warrants had never been issued.

                  (d)      In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise,
at any time distribute (a "Triggering Distribution" and such amount, together
with the sum of (A) and (B) below, the "Combined Amount")) to all or
substantially all holders of its Common Stock, cash in an aggregate amount that,
together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as
determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the

                                       53

<PAGE>

Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by
the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company for Common Stock consummated within
the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the Triggering Distribution and
in respect of which no Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to this Section 406
has been made and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all
holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months preceding the date of
payment of the Triggering Distribution and in respect of which no Conversion
Rate adjustment pursuant to this Section 406 has been made exceeds an amount
equal to 5% of the product of the current market price per share of Common Stock
(as determined in accordance with subsection (g) of this Section 406) on the
Business Day (the "Determination Date") immediately preceding the day on which
such Triggering Distribution is declared by the Company multiplied by the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding
shares held in the treasury of the Company), the Conversion Rate shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the Conversion Rate adjustment contemplated by this subsection
(d) by a fraction (y) the numerator of which shall be such current market price
per share of Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (g) of
this Section 406) on the Determination Date and (z) the denominator of which
shall be (I) such current market price per share of Common Stock on the
Determination Date less (II) the number obtained by dividing the Combined Amount
by such number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of
business following the date on which the Triggering Distribution is paid;
provided that, in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to
one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the market price per share
of Common Stock, an adequate adjustment provision shall be made so that each
holder of Securities shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount
of cash such holder would have received had such holder converted each Security
immediately prior to such distribution.

                  (e)      In case any tender offer made by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as
amended upon the expiration thereof) (other than a transaction in connection
with the creation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company which would hold
all or substantially all of the Company's broadcast operations and would assume
all or substantially all of the Company's debt other than the Securities) shall
involve the payment of aggregate consideration in an amount (determined as the
sum of the aggregate amount of cash consideration and the aggregate fair market
value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate delivered to the Trustee thereof) of any other consideration) that,
together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as
determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
evidence thereof and which shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate
delivered to the Trustee) of any other consideration payable in respect of any
other tender offers by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for Common
Stock consummated within the 12 months preceding the date of the Expiration Date
(as defined below) and in respect of which no Conversion Rate adjustment
pursuant to this Section 406 has been made and (B) all cash distributions to all
or substantially all holders of its Common Stock made within the 12 months
preceding the Expiration Date and in respect of which no Conversion Rate
adjustment pursuant to this Section 406 has been made, exceeds an

                                       54

<PAGE>

amount equal to 5% of the product of the current market price per share of
Common Stock (as determined in accordance with subsection (g) of this Section
406) as of the last date (the "Expiration Date") tenders could have been made
pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which
such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter
sometimes called the "Expiration Time") multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (including tendered shares but excluding any shares
held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time, then, immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day after the Expiration Date, the
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate
determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to
close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the
aggregate consideration payable to holders of Common Stock 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 and any shares held in the treasury of the Company)
at the Expiration Time and the current market price per share of Common Stock
(as determined in accordance with subsection (g) of this Section 406) as of the
Expiration Time, and the denominator of which shall be the product of the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares but
excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time
multiplied by the current market price per share of the Common Stock (as
determined in accordance with subsection (g) of this Section 406) as of the
Expiration Time, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day following the Expiration Date. 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 or
all such purchases or any or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion
Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would have been in
effect based upon the number of shares actually purchased. If the application of
this Section 406(e) to any tender offer would result in a decrease in the
Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this
Section 406(e).

                  (f)      For purposes of Section 406(d) or 406(e), the term
"tender offer" shall mean and include both tender offers and exchange offers,
all references to "purchases" of shares in tender offers (and all similar
references) shall mean and include both the purchase of shares in tender offers
and the acquisition of shares pursuant to exchange offers, and all references to
"tendered shares" (and all similar references) shall mean and include shares
tendered in both tender offers and exchange offers.

                  (g)      For the purpose of any computation under subsections
(b), (c) and (g) of this Section 406, the current market price per share of
Common Stock (the "current market price per share") on any date shall be deemed
to be the average of the daily Sale Price for the 30 consecutive Trading Days
commencing 45 Trading Days before (i) the Determination Date or the Expiration
Date, as the case may be, with respect to distributions or tender offers under
subsection (c) of this Section 406 or (ii) the record date with respect to
distributions, issuances or other events requiring such computation under
subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 406. For

                                       55

<PAGE>

purposes of this Section 406, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company.

                  (h)      In any case in which this Section 406 shall require
that an adjustment be made following a record date or a Determination Date or
Expiration Date, as the case may be, established for purposes of this Section
406, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following
the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in
Section 409) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such record
date or Determination Date or Expiration Date the shares of Common Stock and
other Equity Interests of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and
above the shares of Common Stock and other Equity Interests of the Company
issuable upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Rate prior to
adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so deferred, the
Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other
appropriate evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such
shares. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate is required to be made as of the record date or Determination Date or
Expiration Date therefor is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any
reason, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which
would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or such effective
date or Determination Date or Expiration Date had not occurred.

                  (i)      Whenever adjustments to the Conversion Rate are
called for pursuant to Article Four, such adjustments shall be made to the
Conversion Rate as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of
this Article Four and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in
good faith by the Board of Directors.

         Section 407. No Adjustment.

                  No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless
the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the
Conversion Rate as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustments which
by reason of this Section 407 are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations
under this Article Four shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest
one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. After an adjustment is made to the
Conversion Rate, any subsequent event requiring adjustment shall cause an
adjustment to the Conversion Rate as adjusted.

                  No adjustment need be made for issuances of Common Stock
pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest or for a
change in the par value or a change to no par value of the Common Stock.

                  To the extent that the Securities become convertible into the
right to receive cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash.
Interest will not accrue on the cash.

         Section 408. Adjustment for Tax Purposes.

                  Upon 15 days prior notice to the Trustee and the Holders, the
Company shall be entitled to make increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition
to those required by Section 406, as it in its discretion shall determine to be
advisable in order that any stock dividends, subdivisions of shares,
distributions of rights to purchase stock or securities or distributions of
securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the
Company to its stockholders or other similar event shall not be taxable or shall
be taxable to a lesser degree to such stockholders.

         Section 409. Notice of Adjustment.

                  Whenever the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege is
adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the adjustment
and file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent an Officers' Certificate
briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing
it. Unless and until the Trustee shall receive an Officers' Certificate setting
forth an adjustment of the Conversion Rate, the Trustee may assume without
inquiry that the Conversion Rate has not been adjusted and that the last
Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge remains in effect.

         Section 410. Notice of Certain Transactions.

                  In the event that:

                           (1)      the Company takes any action which would
         require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate;

                           (2)      the Company consolidates or merges with, or
         transfers all or substantially all of its property and assets to,
         another corporation and shareholders of the Company must approve the
         transaction; or

                           (3)      there is a dissolution or liquidation of the
         Company,

then in each such case the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the
Trustee a notice stating the proposed record or effective date, as the case may
be. The Company shall mail the notice at least ten days before such date.
Failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity
of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 410.

         Section 411. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale
on Conversion Privilege.

                  If any of the following shall occur, namely: (a) any
reclassification or change of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Securities (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, or any other change for which an adjustment is provided in Section
406); (b) any consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or combination to
which the Company is a party as a result of which the holders of Common Stock
shall be entitled to receive

                                       57

<PAGE>

stock, securities or other properties or assets with respect to or in exchange
for such Common Stock, other than a merger in which the Company is the
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or
change (other than 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) in,
outstanding shares of Common Stock; or (c) any sale or conveyance as an entirety
or substantially as an entirety of the property and assets of the Company,
directly or indirectly, to any person, in each case in which holders of the
Company's Common Stock would be entitled to receive stock, other securities,
other property, assets or cash for their Common Stock, then the Company, or such
successor, purchasing or transferee corporation, as the case may be, shall, as a
condition precedent to such reclassification, change, combination,
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, execute and deliver to the Trustee a
supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security then
Outstanding shall have the right to convert such Security into the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash)
receivable upon such reclassification, change, combination, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon conversion of such Security immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, combination, consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments of the
Conversion Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article Four. If, in the
case of any such consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the
stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by
a holder of Common Stock include shares of stock or other securities and
property of a person other than the successor, purchasing or transferee
corporation, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, combination,
sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by
such other person 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. The provisions of this
Section 411 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes,
combinations, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

                  In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Section 411, the Company shall promptly file with the
Trustee (x) an Officers' Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the
kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including
cash) receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their
Securities after any such reclassification, change, combination, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and
that all conditions precedent have been complied with and (y) an Opinion of
Counsel that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall
promptly mail notice thereof to all Holders.

                  The provisions of this Section 411 shall not apply to
transactions in connection with the creation of a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the
Company which would hold all or substantially all of the Company's broadcast
operations and would become a primary obligor under all or substantially all of
the Company's Indebtedness (other than the Securities).

         Section 412. Trustee's Disclaimer.

                  The Trustee shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment
under this Article Four should be made, how it should be made or what such
adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the
correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an
Officers' Certificate including the Officers' Certificate with respect thereto
which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 409.
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any
securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall
not be responsible for the Company's failure to comply with any provisions of
this Article Four.

                  The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine
the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to Section 411, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the
correctness thereof, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Officers'
Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 411.

         Section 413. Voluntary Increase.

                  The Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate
by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and if
the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the best
interest of the Company and the Company provides 15 days prior notice to the
Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of any increase in the Conversion
Rate.

         Section 414. Rights Issued in Respect of Common Stock Issued Upon
Conversion.

                  Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
Securities pursuant to this Article Four shall be entitled to receive the
appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, as the
case may be (the "Rights"), if any, that all shares of Common Stock are entitled
to receive and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such
conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by
the terms of any rights agreement adopted by the Company, as the same may be
amended from time to time (in each case, a "Rights Agreement"). Provided that
such Rights Agreement requires that each share of Common Stock issued by the
Company (including those that might be issued upon conversion of Securities) at
any time prior to the distribution of separate certificates representing the
Rights be entitled to receive such Rights, then, notwithstanding anything else
to the contrary in this Article Four, there shall not be any adjustment to the
conversion privilege or Conversion Rate or any other term or provision of the
Securities as a result of the issuance of Rights, the distribution of separate
certificates representing the Rights, the exercise or redemption of such Rights
in accordance with any Rights Agreements, or the termination or invalidation of
Rights.

                                    REMEDIES

         Section 501. Events of Default.

                  "Event of Default", wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events which has occurred and is continuing (whatever the reason for
such Event of Default and whether it shall be occasioned by the provisions of
Article Twelve 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)      there shall be a default in the payment of any
interest on any Security (including any Contingent Interest or Additional
Amounts) when it becomes due and payable, and such default shall continue for a
period of 30 days;

                  (b)      there shall be a default in the payment of the
Accreted Principal Amount on any Security at its Maturity (upon acceleration,
optional or mandatory redemption, required repurchase or otherwise);

                  (c)      (i) there shall be a default in the performance, or

                  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default

Issuance of the

                                       61

<PAGE>

Securities Outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of the Holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount at Issuance of the Securities
Outstanding shall, declare an amount equal to the Accreted Principal Amount of
the Securities plus accrued and unpaid cash interest (including Contingent
Interest and Additional Amounts) thereon through the date of such declaration to
be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to
the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Securities). Thereupon the Trustee
may, at its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Holders
of the Securities by appropriate judicial proceeding. If an Event of Default
specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 501 occurs and is continuing, then an
amount equal to the Accreted Principal Amount of all the Securities through the
occurrence of such event, together with any accrued and unpaid cash interest
(including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts) through the occurrence of
such event, shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable, without
any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

                  At any time after such declaration of acceleration has been
made but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been
obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of
a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Issuance of the Securities
Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences if:

                  (a)      the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a
sum sufficient to pay

                           (i)      all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee
                  under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation,
                  expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
                  agents and counsel,

                           (ii)     all overdue interest (including Contingent
                  Interest and Additional Amounts) on all Securities,

                           (iii)    the Accreted Principal Amount on any
                  Securities which have become due otherwise than by such
                  declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at a rate
                  borne by the Securities, and

                           (iv)     to the extent that payment of such interest
                  is lawful, interest upon overdue interest (including
                  Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts) at the rate borne
                  by the Securities; and

                  (b)      all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of
the Accreted Principal Amount and any accrued and unpaid cash interest
(including any unpaid Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts) on the
Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right
consequent thereon provided in Section 513.

         Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee.

                  The Company covenants that if

                                       62

<PAGE>

                  (a)      default is made in the payment of any interest
(including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts) on any Security when such
interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30
days, or

                  (b)      default is made in the payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, or Principal Accretion, if any, on any Security at the Stated
Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, subject to Article Twelve, the whole amount then due
and payable on such Securities for the Accreted Principal Amount through such
date and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid cash interest (including
Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts), with interest upon the overdue
principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest
shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate
borne by the Securities; 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
and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce
the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and
collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities,
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 under this Indenture by such appropriate private or judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce 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 therein,
or to enforce any other proper remedy, subject however to Section 512.

         Section 504. 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 any other obligor, upon the
Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the Accreted Principal Amount,
cash interest, Contingent Interest, Additional Amounts, the Redemption Price,
the Optional Repurchase Price, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the
Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand
on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

                                       63

Accreted Principal Amount, cash interest, Contingent Interest, Additional
Amounts, the Redemption Price, the Optional Repurchase Price, or the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price of the Securities 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 allowed in such judicial
proceeding, and

                  (b)      subject to Article Twelve, to collect and receive any
moneys, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon any conversion
or exchange of Securities or upon any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder 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, to pay the
Trustee any amount due 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 606.

                  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder
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 in any such proceeding.

         Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of
Securities.

                  All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the
Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment
shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.

         Section 506. Application of Money Collected.

otherwise on behalf of the Holders or the Trustee pursuant to this Article or

applicable law, 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,
premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Securities, in respect of which or

preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
such Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest; and

                  THIRD: Subject to Article Twelve, the balance, if any, to the
Person or Persons entitled thereto, including the Company, provided that all
sums due and owing to the Holders and the Trustee have been paid in full as
required by this Indenture.

                  Section 507. Limitation on Suits.

                  No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute

the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

                  (b)      the Holders of not less than 25% in Principal Amount

Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own
name as trustee hereunder;

                  (c)      such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee an
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and

notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
proceeding; and

                  (e)      no direction inconsistent with such written request
has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
majority in Principal Amount at Issuance of the Outstanding Securities;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders,
or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders
or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in
this Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding,
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.

                  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or

of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders,
as the case may be.

         Section 512. Control by Holders.

                  The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal
Amount at Issuance of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct

to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee,
provided that

                  (a)      such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule
of law or with this Indenture or expose the Trustee to personal liability; and

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

affected.

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

                  This Section 513 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of
the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly

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

Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder pursuant to Section 508
hereof.

so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law

interest (including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts) on the
Securities contemplated herein or in the Securities or which may affect the

with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent,

and, subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310 and 311, may otherwise deal
with the Company and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the

Agent, Security Registrar, Conversion Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent or such

         Section 605. Money Held in Trust.

                  All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or

an express trust) set forth in a letter agreement executed by the Company and
the Trustee, as such agreement may be amended or supplemented, and the Company
covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor
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 any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise
from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability, tax, assessment or other governmental charge (other than taxes
applicable to the Trustee's compensation hereunder) or expense incurred without
negligence or bad faith on such Trustee's part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder
and such Trustee's duties hereunder, including enforcement of this Indenture and
also including any liability which the Trustee may incur as a result of failure
to withhold, pay or report any tax, assessment or other governmental charge, and
the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of
liability (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or any other Person) in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under
this Indenture. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate
and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse
the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and
advances shall constitute an additional obligation hereunder and shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

                  The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Conversion
Agent from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation
for all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust)
to the extent set forth in a letter agreement executed by the Company and the
Conversion Agent, as such agreement may be amended or supplemented, and the
Company covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Conversion Agent and each
predecessor Conversion Agent 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 any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The
Company also covenants to indemnify the Conversion Agent and each predecessor
Conversion Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, tax,
assessment or other governmental charge (other than taxes applicable to the
Conversion Agent's compensation hereunder) or expense incurred without
negligence or bad faith on such Conversion Agent's part, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts
hereunder and such Conversion Agent's duties hereunder, including enforcement of
this Indenture and also including any liability which the Conversion Agent may
incur as a result of failure to withhold, pay or report any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge, and the costs and expenses of defending itself
against or investigating any claim of liability (whether asserted by any Holder,
the Company or any other Person) in connection with the exercise or performance
of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture. The obligations of the
Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Conversion Agent and
each predecessor Conversion Agent and to pay or reimburse the

                                       71

<PAGE>

Conversion Agent and each predecessor Conversion Agent for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute an additional obligation hereunder
and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

                  All payments and reimbursements pursuant to this Section 606
shall be made with interest at the rate borne by the Securities.

                  As security for the performance of the obligations of the
Company under this Section 606, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, except
funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on particular Securities. The Trustee's right to receive payment of any
amounts due under this Section 606 shall not be subordinate to any other
liability or indebtedness of the Company (even though the Securities may be so
subordinate), and the Securities shall be subordinate to the Trustee's right to
receive such payment.

         Section 607. Conflicting Interests.

                  The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b)
of the Trust Indenture Act.

         Section 608. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

                  There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be
eligible to act as trustee under Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a)(1) and which
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000, to the
extent there is an institution eligible and willing to serve. The Trustee shall
be a participant in the Depository Trust Company and FAST distribution systems.
If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of
Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article. The Corporate Trust Office shall initially be located at Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association, 707 Wilshire Boulevard, 17th Floor, Los Angeles, CA
90017, Attention: Corporate Trust Department.

         Section 609. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee.

                  (a)      No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no
appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Article shall become
effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee under
Section 610.

                  (b)      The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter
appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice thereof to the
Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly
appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by authority of the
Board of Directors of the Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and a copy to the successor trustee. If an instrument of

                                       72

<PAGE>

acceptance by a successor trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper, appoint a successor trustee.

                  (c)      The Trustee may be removed at any time by an Act of
the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

                  (d)      If at any time:

                           (1)      the Trustee shall fail to comply with the
         provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b) after written request
         therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide
         Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

                           (2)      the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under
         Section 608 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by
         the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
         Security for at least six months, or

                           (3)      the Trustee shall become incapable of acting
         or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the
         Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer
         shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
         affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee,
or (ii) subject to Section 514, the Holder of any Security who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such
court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

                  (e)      If the Trustee shall be removed or become incapable
of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause,
the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor trustee.
If, within one year after such removal or incapability, or the occurrence of
such vacancy, a successor trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a
majority in Principal Amount at Issuance of the Outstanding Securities delivered
to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor trustee so appointed
shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor
trustee and supersede the successor trustee appointed by the Company. If no
successor trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of
the Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the
Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months
may, subject to Section 514, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

<PAGE>

                  (f)      The Company shall give notice of each resignation and
each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor trustee by
mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
the Holders of Securities as their names and addresses appear in the Security
Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee and the
address of its Corporate Trust Office or agent hereunder.

         Section 610. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

                  Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee as if originally named as
Trustee hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or
the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, such retiring
Trustee shall, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by
it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request
of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments
for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee
all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless,
retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such
Trustee or such successor trustee to secure any amounts then due such Trustee
pursuant to the provisions of Section 606.

                  No successor Trustee with respect to the Securities shall
accept appointment as provided in this Section 610 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible to act as trustee under the
provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and this Article Sixth and
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000.

                  Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor Trustee as
provided in this Section 610, the Company shall give notice thereof to the
Holders of the Securities, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their
addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the acceptance of
appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the
notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice
called for by Section 609. If the Company fails to give such notice within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.

         Section 611. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business.

                  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under Trust Indenture Act
Section 310(a) and this Article Sixth and shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least

                                       74

<PAGE>

$250,000,000, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto.

                  In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall
succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have
been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver
such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the
Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or
in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificate
shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this
Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided that
the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee
or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply
only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

         Section 612. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

                  If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the
Company (or other obligor under the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims
against the Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or
been removed shall be subject to the Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the
extent indicated therein.

permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, if the Company merges or consolidates with
or sells, assigns, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or
substantially all of its assets to a direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions in which such
Subsidiary assumes all or substantially all of the Indebtedness of the Company

                  laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the
                  District of Columbia and such Person assumes, by a
                  supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to
                  the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under the
                  Securities and this Indenture and the Registration Rights
                  Agreement, and this Indenture and the Registration Rights
                  Agreement shall remain in full force and effect;

                           (ii)     immediately before and immediately after
                  giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of
                  Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

                           (iii)    the Company or the Surviving Entity shall
                  have delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Trustee, in
                  form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an
                  Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the
                  effect that such consolidation, merger, transfer, sale,
                  assignment, conveyance, lease or other transaction and the
                  supplemental indenture in respect thereto comply with this
                  Indenture and that all conditions precedent herein provided
                  for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may merge or
consolidate with or into to sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose
of all or substantially all of its assets to a direct or indirect Wholly Owned
Subsidiary of the Company without complying with the above provisions in a
transaction or series of transactions in which the Company remains the obligor
on the Securities.

         Section 802. Successor Substituted.

                  Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment,
conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition of all or substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company in accordance with Section 801, the
successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is
merged or the successor Person to which such sale, assignment, conveyance,
transfer, lease or disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for,
and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture, the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities with the same effect as if such
successor had been named as the Company herein and in the Securities. When a
successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under this Indenture
and the Securities, the predecessor shall be released from those obligations;
provided that in the case of a transfer by lease, the predecessor shall not be
released from the payment of principal and interest (including Contingent
Interest and Additional Amounts) on the Securities and the Registration Rights
Agreement.

property or assets, including any which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or
hypothecated, or in which a security interest is required to be granted to the
Trustee pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise; or

                  (h)      to provide for uncertificated Securities in place of
or in addition to certificated Securities.

         Section 902. Supplemental Indentures and Agreements with Consent of

substance satisfactory to the Trustee for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this
Indenture or the Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture, agreement or instrument shall, without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

                  (a)      change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or

thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or alter the manner
of calculation or rate of accrual of Principal Accretion on any Security or
change the coin or currency in which the principal of any Security or any

suit for the enforcement of any such payment after the

                                       79

<PAGE>

Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date) or with respect to conversion of the Securities;

                  (b)      amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company

the Company's obligations to make such payments, whether through an amendment or
waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise.

                  Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a copy
of a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of
Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 903, join with the
Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture.

                  It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this

         Section 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures and Agreements.

                  In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by,
any supplemental indenture, agreement or instrument permitted by this Article or
the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 315(a)
through 315(d) and Section 602 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers' Certificate stating that the execution of
such supplemental indenture, agreement or instrument is authorized or permitted
by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into
any such supplemental indenture, agreement or instrument which affects the
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

         Section 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

                  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this
Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such

every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered
hereunder shall be bound thereby.

         Section 905. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

                  Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article

                  Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required
by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine,
new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the
Board of Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Securities.

         Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

                  Subject to the provisions of Article Twelve, the Company will
duly and punctually pay the Accreted Principal Amount, interest (including

the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

         Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

                  The Company will maintain an office or agency where Securities
may be presented or surrendered for purchase or payment. The Company also will
maintain an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, redemption or exchange and where notices and demands
to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be
served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location and any change in the location of any such offices or agencies. If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required offices or
agencies or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
office of the agent of the Trustee described above and the Company hereby
appoints such agent as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands.

                  The Company will also maintain an office or agency where
Securities may be presented for conversion (which may be the office of the
Trustee described above if consented to by the Trustee). The Company will give
written notice to the Trustee of the location and any change in the office. If
at any time the Company shall fail to maintain such office, Securities may be
presented for conversion at the office of the Company.

                  The Company may from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designation. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
or rescission and any change in the location of any such office or agency.

         Section 1003. Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust.

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

                  If the Company is not acting as Paying Agent, the Company
will, before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum in same day funds sufficient
to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due, such sum to
be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal,
premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act.

                  If the Company is not acting as Paying Agent, 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:

                                       82

<PAGE>

                  (a)      hold all sums held by it for the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest 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 herein provided;

                  (b)      give the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company
(or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of
principal, premium, if any, or interest;

                  (c)      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; and

                  (d)      acknowledge, accept and agree to comply in all
aspects with the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties, rights and
disabilities of such Paying Agent.

                  The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.

                  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or
other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee shall serve as the Paying Agent.

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

         Section 1004. Corporate Existence.

                  Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the
corporate existence and related rights and franchises (charter and statutory) of
the Company and each Subsidiary; provided, however,

                                       83

<PAGE>

that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise
or the corporate existence of any such Subsidiary if the Board of Directors of
the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable
in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole
and that the loss thereof would not reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations
hereunder; and provided, further, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit
a sale, transfer or conveyance of a Subsidiary or any of its assets in
compliance with the terms of this Indenture.

         Section 1005. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

                  The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged, on or before the date the same shall become due and payable, (a) all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company
or any Subsidiary shown to be due on any return of the Company or any Subsidiary
or otherwise assessed or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or
any Subsidiary if failure to pay or discharge the same could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to
perform its obligations hereunder and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials
and supplies, which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon the property of
the Company or any Subsidiary, except for any Lien if failure to pay or
discharge the same could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or
cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose
amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings properly instituted and diligently conducted and in
respect of which appropriate reserves (in the good faith judgment of management
of the Company) are being maintained in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied.

         Section 1006. Maintenance of Properties.

                  The Company will cause all material properties owned by the
Company or any Subsidiary or used or held for use in the conduct of its business
or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition,
repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all
necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be consistent with sound business practice and necessary so that
the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and
advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the maintenance of any of
such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company,
desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary and
not reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Company to perform its obligations hereunder.

         Section 1007. Insurance.

                  The Company will at all times keep all of its and its
Subsidiaries' properties which are of an insurable nature insured with insurers,
believed by the Company to be

                                       84

<PAGE>

responsible, against loss or damage to the extent that property of similar
character is usually so insured by corporations similarly situated and owning
like properties.

         Section 1008. Provision of Financial Statements.

                  (a)      Whether or not the Company is subject to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, to the extent permitted
under the Exchange Act, file with the Commission the annual reports, quarterly
reports and other documents which the Company would have been required to file
with the Commission pursuant to such Sections 13(a) or 15(d) if the Company were
so subject, such documents to be filed with the Commission on or prior to the
respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Company would have
been required so to file such documents if the Company were so subject. The
Company will also in any event (x) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date
(i) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the
Security Register, without cost to such Holders and (ii) file with the Trustee
copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the
Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were subject to such Sections
and (y) if filing such documents by the Company with the Commission is not
permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written request and payment of
the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such documents
to any prospective Holder at the Company's cost.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but solely to the extent
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, if the Company merges or consolidates with
or sells, assigns, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of all or
substantially all of its assets to a direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
of the Company in a transaction or series of transactions in which such
Subsidiary assumes all or substantially all of the Indebtedness of the Company
(other than the Securities) and the Company remains the obligor on the
Securities, and as a result of such transactions the Company and this
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary are permitted by the rules and regulations of the
Commission to file and/or submit periodic reports collectively on behalf of the
consolidated Company, then in such event the Company shall be deemed to comply
with this Section 1008(a) to the extent the filings by the Company together with
such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary comply with the rules and regulations of the
Commission.

                  (b)      So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding,
the Company will make available to any prospective purchaser of Securities or
beneficial owner of Securities in connection with any sale of Securities the
information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, until such
time as the holders of Securities have disposed of such Securities pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

         Section 1009. Statement by Officers as to Default.

                  (a)      The Company will deliver to the Trustee, on or before
a date not more than 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter and not more
than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the
date hereof, a written statement signed by two executive officers of the
Company, one of whom shall be the principal executive officer, principal
financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, stating
whether or not, after a review of

                                       85

<PAGE>

the activities of the Company during such year or such quarter and of the
Company's performance under this Indenture, to the best knowledge, based on such
review, of the signers thereof, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations
and is in compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture
throughout such year or quarter, as the case may be, and, if there has been a
Default specifying each Default and the nature and status thereof.

                  (b)      When any Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, or if the Trustee or any Holder or the trustee for or the holder
of any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary gives any
notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed default (other than
with respect to Indebtedness in the principal amount of less than $10,000,000),
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by
telegram, telex or facsimile transmission followed by hard copy an Officers'
Certificate specifying such Default, Event of Default, notice or other action
within five Business Days of its occurrence.

         Section 1010. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

                  The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with
any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1006 and 1007, if, before
or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate Principal Amount at Issuance of the Securities at the time
Outstanding shall, by Act of such Holders, waive such compliance in such
instance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or
affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain
in full force and effect.

2010, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice by first class

interest due on an Interest Payment Date) that has accrued on a Security since
the immediately preceding date on which interest was paid.

                  If any Security is to be redeemed in part only, a new Security
in Principal Amount at Issuance equal to the unredeemed portion of Principal
Amount at Issuance will be issued. If a portion of a Holder's Securities is
selected for partial redemption and such Holder converts a portion of its
Securities, the converted portion will be deemed to be of the portion selected
for redemption.

                  No sinking fund is provided for the Securities.

         Section 1102. Applicability of Article.

                  Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or
otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture, shall be
made in accordance with such provision and this Article.

         Section 1103. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

                  The election of the Company to redeem any Securities pursuant
to Section 1101 shall be evidenced by a Company Order and an Officers'
Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the
Company shall, not less than 45 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory
to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of
the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed.

         Section 1104. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

                  If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the
particular Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected not
more than 35 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the
Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, pro rata, by lot or
such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and reasonable, and the amounts
to be redeemed may be equal to $1,000 of aggregate Principal Amount at Issuance
or any integral multiple thereof.

                  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security
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 redemption of Securities shall
relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to
the portion of the Principal Amount at Issuance of such Security which has been
or is to be redeemed.

                  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 (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. 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.

         Section 1105. Notice of Redemption.

                  Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address
appearing in the Security Register.

                  All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (a)      the Redemption Date;

                  (b)      the Redemption Price, or if then not ascertainable,
the manner of calculation thereof;

                  (c)      the Conversion Rate;

                                       88

<PAGE>

                  (d)      the name and address of the Paying Agent and
Conversion Agent;

                  (e)      that Securities called for redemption may be
converted at any time before the close of business on the second Business Day
immediately preceding the Redemption Date, even if not otherwise convertible at
such time;

                  (f)      that Holders who want to convert Securities must
satisfy the requirements set forth in Article Four of the Indenture and in the
Securities;

                  (g)      if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be
redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

                  (h)      in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the
Principal Amount at Issuance such Security to be redeemed and that after the
Redemption Date upon surrender of such Security, new Security or Securities in
the aggregate Principal Amount at Issuance equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof will be issued;

                  (i)      that Securities called for redemption must be
surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

                  (j)      that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will
become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof, and that
(unless the Company shall default in payment of the Redemption Price) interest
(including Contingent Interest) thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said
date;

                  (k)      the place or places where such Securities are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and

                  (l)      the CUSIP number, if any, relating to such
Securities.

                  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
written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

                  The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives
such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice to any Holder of any
Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in any
such notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption
of any other Security.

         Section 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price.

                  On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount
of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and (except
if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on,
all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date

                                       89
<PAGE>

other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which on
or prior thereto have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for
cancellation or have been converted. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall as
promptly as possible return to the Company any money not required for that
purpose because of the conversion of Securities pursuant to Article Four hereof.
When the Redemption Date falls on an Interest Payment Date, payments of interest
due on such date are to be paid as provided hereunder as if no such redemption
were occurring.

         Section 1107. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

                  Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, 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 interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender
of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such
Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price together with
accrued interest to but not including the Redemption Date except for Securities
that are converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; provided,
however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one
or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Regular
Record Dates according to the terms and the provisions of Section 309.

                  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 rate borne by such
Security.

         Section 1108. Securities Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

                  Any Security which is to be redeemed or purchased only in part
shall be surrendered to the Paying Agent at the office or agency maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Company, the Security
Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security
Registrar or the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such 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 at Issuance equal to, and
in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so
surrendered that is not redeemed or purchased.

         Section 1109. Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption.

                  In connection with any redemption of Securities, the Company
may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities called for
redemption by an agreement with one or more investment banks or other purchasers
to purchase such Securities by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Holders,
on or prior to the Redemption Date, an amount that, together with any amounts
deposited with the Trustee by the Company for the redemption of such Securities,
is not less than the Redemption Price of, and any accrued and unpaid interest
(including Contingent

                                       90

<PAGE>

Interest and Additional Amounts) with respect to, such Securities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Eleven, the
obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Prices of such Securities shall
be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by
such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Securities not duly
surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof may, at the option of the
Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such
purchasers from such Holders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Article Four) surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as
of immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
Redemption Date, subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. The
Trustee shall hold and pay to the Holders whose Securities are selected for
redemption any such amount paid to it for purchase and conversion in the same
manner as it would moneys deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of
Securities. Without the Trustee's prior written consent, no arrangement between
the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any
Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties,
responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture,
and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with any
such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any Securities between the
Company and such purchasers, including the costs and expenses incurred by the
Trustee in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers, duties, responsibilities
or obligations under this Indenture.

                                     RANKING

         Section 1201. Ranking.

                  This Security constitutes a senior unsecured general
obligation of the Company, ranking equally with other existing and future senior
unsecured Indebtedness the Company has incurred or may incur, ranking senior in
right of payment to any future Indebtedness that is expressly made subordinate
to the Securities and ranking subordinate to secured Indebtedness the Company
has incurred or guaranteed Indebtedness the Company has incurred.

                           SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

         Section 1301. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

                  When (1) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation all Securities theretofore 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
theretofore canceled, or (2) all the Securities not theretofore canceled or
delivered to the Registrar for cancellation shall have (a) been deposited for
conversion and the Company shall deliver to the Holders shares of Common Stock
sufficient to pay all amounts

                                       91

<PAGE>

owing in respect of all 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
theretofore canceled or delivered to the Registrar for cancellation or (b)
become due and payable on their Stated Maturity, Optional Repurchase Date,
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date, as applicable, and the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee cash sufficient to pay all amounts owing
in respect of all 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 theretofore
canceled or delivered to the Registrar for cancellation, including the Accreted
Principal Amount and interest (including Contingent Interest and Additional
Amounts, if any) accrued and unpaid to such Stated Maturity, Optional Repurchase
Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be,
and if in either case (1) or (2) the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid
all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then the Indenture with respect
to the Securities 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 the amounts then due, including interest (including Contingent Interest, if
any) and Additional Amounts with respect to 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, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Conversion Agent and Registrar under the Indenture with respect to the
Securities), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 1303 and
at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging the Indenture with respect to the
Securities.

                  Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 606 and,
if United States dollars shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 1302 and the last
paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.

                  Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section
1003, all United States dollars deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
1031 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions
of the Securities and this Indenture (Including, without limitation, Section
605), to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Securities for whose payment such United States dollars have been deposited
with the Trustee.

         Section 1302. Reinstatement.

                  If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money to the Holders entitled thereto by reason of any order or judgment of any
court of governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, the Company's obligations under the Indenture with respect to
the Securities and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 1301 until such time as the Trustee or
the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with the
Indenture and the

                                       92

<PAGE>

Securities to the Holders entitled thereto; provided, however, that if the
Company makes any payment of principal amount or interest (including Contingent
Interest) of any Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

         Section 1303. Officers' Certificate; Opinion of Counsel.

                  Upon any application or demand by the Company to the Trustee
to take any action under Section 1301, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee
(A) an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any,
provided for in the Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied
with and that such satisfaction and discharge will not result in a breach or
violation of or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material
agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company
is bound, and (B) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such
counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

                  Opinions of counsel required to be delivered under this
Section may have qualifications customary for opinions of the type required and
counsel delivering such Opinions of counsel may rely on certificates of the
Company or government or other officials customary for opinions of the type
required, including certificates certifying as to matters of fact, including
that various financial covenants have been complied with.

                                ARTICLE FOURTEEN

                REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS
                            UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE

         Section 1401. Fundamental Change Put.

                  (a)      In the event that a Fundamental Change shall occur,
each Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's option, but subject to the
provisions of Section 1401 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 at Issuance thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof, as directed by such Holder pursuant to Section 1401, on the
date (the "Fundamental Change Repurchase Date") that is a Business Day no later
than 35 Business Days after the date of notice pursuant to Section 1401(b) of
the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (subject to extension to comply with
applicable law). The Company shall be required to purchase such Securities at a
purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the Principal Amount at Issuance plus
Principal Accretion and any accrued and unpaid cash interest (including

                  At the Company's request, the Trustee or the Paying Agent
shall give such notice in the Company's name and at the Company's expense;
provided, however, that in all cases, the text of such notice shall be prepared
by the Company.

                  If any of the Securities is in the form of a Global Security,
then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with
the procedures of the Depositary applicable to the repurchase of Global
Securities.

                  Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company will
publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City of New York or publish the information on its website or
through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

                  (c)      A Holder may exercise its rights specified in
subsection (a) of this Section 1401 upon delivery of a written notice (which
shall be in substantially the form included on the reverse side of the
Securities entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" hereto and which may be
delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or
in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be
delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary's
customary procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a "Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice") to any Paying Agent at any time on or before the 30th
Business Day after the date of the Company's notice of the Fundamental Change
(subject to extension to comply with applicable law).

                  The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice delivered by a Holder
shall state (i) if certificated Securities, the certificate number or numbers of
the Security or Securities which the Holder will deliver to be purchased (if not
certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures),
(ii) the portion of the Principal Amount at Issuance of the Security which the
Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must be $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof, and (iii) that such Security shall be purchased pursuant to
the terms and conditions specified in the Securities and this Indenture.

                  Delivery of a Security to the Paying Agent by book-entry
transfer or physical delivery prior to, on or after the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the
Paying Agent is a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 1401 only if the
Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the
description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, as
determined by the Company.

                  The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant
to this Section 1401, a portion of a Security if the Principal Amount at
Issuance of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions
of the Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security pursuant to
Sections 1401 through 1406 also apply to the purchase of such portion of such
Security.

<PAGE>

                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder
delivering to a Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
contemplated by this subsection (c) shall have the right to withdraw such
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in whole or in a portion thereof that is a
Principal Amount at Issuance of $1,000 or in an integral multiple thereof at any
time prior to the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal
to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 1402.

                  A Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the
receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written withdrawal
thereof.

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case
of Global Securities, any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be delivered
or withdrawn and such Securities may be surrendered or delivered for purchase in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

         Section 1402. Effect of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

                  Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice specified in Section 1401(c), the Holder of the Security in
respect of which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice was given shall
(unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified
below) thereafter be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price
with respect to such Security. Such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be
paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (a) the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in
Section 1401(c) have been satisfied) and (b) the time of book-entry transfer or
delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner
required by Section 1401(c). Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted into
shares of Common Stock on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has
first been validly withdrawn.

                  A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by
means of a written notice (which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier,
hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the
case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in
accordance with the Depositary's customary procedures) of withdrawal delivered
by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on
the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date,
specifying (i) the Principal Amount at Issuance of the Security or portion
thereof (which must be a Principal Amount at Issuance of $1,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) with respect to which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted, (ii) if certificated Securities have been issued,
the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Securities, or if not certificated,
such notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures, and (iii) the
Principal Amount at Issuance, if any, which remains subject to the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice.

         Section 1403. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

                  On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Business Day following the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a
Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) an amount
of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day)
sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all the
Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of such Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by this Section
1403 is made by the Company shall be at the option of the Company, provided that
such deposit shall be made in a manner such that the Trustee or a Paying Agent
shall have immediately available funds on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date.

                  If a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof,
money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Security
for which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been tendered and not
withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture on the Business Day following the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date then, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, such Security will cease to be outstanding and interest, including any
Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts, if any, and Principal Accretion on
the Securities will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the
Securities is made or whether or not the Securities are delivered to the Paying
Agent) and the rights of the Holder in respect thereof shall terminate (other
than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any
previously accrued and unpaid interest (including any Contingent Interest) and
Additional Amounts upon delivery or transfer of the Securities)). The Company
shall publicly announce the Principal Amount at Issuance of Securities purchased
as a result of such Fundamental Change on or as soon as practicable after the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

         Section 1404. Securities Purchased in Part.

                  Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be
surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent and promptly after the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date 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 such authorized denomination or denominations
as may be requested by such Holder, in aggregate Principal Amount at Issuance
equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the Principal Amount at Issuance
of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.

         Section 1405. Compliance with Securities Laws Upon Purchase of
Securities.

                  In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of
Securities under Section 1401, the Company shall (a) comply with Rule 13e-4 and
Rule 14e-1 (or any successor to either such Rule), if applicable, under the
Exchange Act, (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor or similar
schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act, and (c) otherwise
comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with such offer
to purchase or purchase of Securities, all so as to permit the rights of the
Holders and obligations of

                                       97

<PAGE>

the Company under Sections 1401 through 1406 to be exercised in the time and in
the manner specified therein.

         Section 1406. Repayment to the Company.

                  To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by
the Company pursuant to Section 1403 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price together with interest (including Contingent Interest and
Additional Amounts), if any, thereon of the Securities or portions thereof that
the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return
any such excess cash to the Company.

                                 ARTICLE FIFTEEN

                REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

         Section 1501. Optional Put.

                  (a)      All or a portion of the Securities shall be
repurchased by the Company on June 15, 2010, June 15, 2013 and June 15, 2018
(each, an "Optional Repurchase Date") at a price of 100% of the Accreted
Principal Amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including Contingent
Interest and Additional Amounts) to but not including the Optional Repurchase
Date (the "Optional Repurchase Price"), at the option of the Holder thereof. Any
Securities purchased on June 15, 2010 by the Company will be paid for in cash
only. Securities purchased on June 15, 2013 and June 15, 2018 by the Company may
be purchased in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares
of Common Stock at the Company's option, provided, however that any accrued and
unpaid interest (including Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts), if any,
will be paid in cash.

                  The Company's right to exercise its election to purchase the
Securities pursuant to this Article Fifteen through the issuance of shares of
Common Stock shall be conditioned upon (1) the Company's not having given its
Company notice of an election to pay entirely in cash and its giving of timely
notice of election to purchase all or a specified percentage of the Securities
with shares of Common Stock as provided herein; (2) the registration of the
shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of the payment of the Optional
Repurchase Price under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, in each case, if
required for the initial issuance thereof; (3) any necessary qualification or
registration under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an
exemption from such qualification and registration; and (4) the receipt by the
Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that
(A) the terms of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock are in conformity
with this Indenture and (B) the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the
Company in payment of the Optional Repurchase Price in respect of Securities
have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms
of this Indenture in payment of the Optional Repurchase Price in respect of the
Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and, to the
best of such counsel's knowledge, free from preemptive rights, and, in the case
of such Officer's Certificate, stating that

                                       98

<PAGE>

conditions (1), (2) and (3) above have been satisfied and, in the case of such
Opinion of Counsel, stating that conditions (2) and (3) above have been
satisfied.

                  Such Officers' Certificate shall also set forth the number of
shares of Common Stock to be issued for each $1,000 principal amount of
Securities and the Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on each Trading Day
during the period commencing on the first Trading Day of the period during which
the Market Price is calculated and ending three Business Days prior to the
applicable Optional Repurchase Date. The Company may pay the Optional Repurchase
Price (or any portion thereof) in shares of Common Stock only if the information
necessary to calculate the Market Price is published in The Wall Street Journal
or another daily newspaper of national circulation. If the foregoing conditions
are not satisfied with respect to a Holder or Holders prior to the close of
business on the Optional Repurchase Date and the Company has elected to
repurchase the Securities pursuant to this Article Fifteen through the issuance
of shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay, without further notice, the
entire Optional Repurchase Price of the Securities of such Holder or Holders in
cash.

                  (b)      On a date not less than 20 Business Days prior to the
Optional Repurchase Date, the Company shall mail a written notice to the Trustee
(and the Paying Agent if the Trustee is not then acting as Paying Agent) and to
all Holders at their addresses shown in the Security Register of the Registrar,
and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law. The notice shall include
the form of an Optional Repurchase Notice to be completed by the Holder and
shall state:

                           (1)      the date by which the Optional Repurchase
         Notice pursuant to this Section 1501 must be given;

                           (2)      the Optional Repurchase Date;

                           (3)      the Optional Repurchase Price;

                           (4)      whether the Optional Repurchase Price will
         be paid in cash in shares of Common Stock or in any combination
         thereof, specifying the percentages of each, provided that the Company
         will pay cash for fractional interests in shares of Common Stock;

                           (5)      if the Optional Repurchase Price will be
         paid in whole, or in part, in shares of Common Stock, the percentage of
         the Optional Repurchase Price to be paid in shares of Common Stock,
         that each Holder will receive shares of Common Stock with a Market
         Price equal to such specified percentage of the Optional Repurchase
         Price of the Securities held by such Holder (except any cash amount to
         be paid in lieu of fractional shares), the method of calculating the
         Market Price of the shares of Common Stock, and that because the Market
         Price of shares of Common Stock will be determined prior to the
         Optional Repurchase Date, Holders will bear the market risk with
         respect to the value of the shares of Common Stock to be received from
         the date such Market Price is determined to the Optional Repurchase
         Date;

<PAGE>

                           (6)      the name and address of each Paying Agent
         and the Conversion Agent;

                           (7)      the Conversion Rate and any adjustments
         thereto;

                           (8)      that Securities as to which an Optional
         Repurchase Notice has been given may be converted into Common Stock
         pursuant to Article Four hereof only if the applicable Optional
         Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of
         this Indenture;

                           (9)      the procedures that the Holder must follow
         to exercise rights under this Section and a brief description of such
         rights;

                           (10)     that Securities must be surrendered to the
         Paying Agent to collect payment of the Optional Purchase Price and
         interest, if any;

                           (11)     briefly, the conversion rights of the
         Securities, and that the Holder must satisfy the requirements set forth
         in the Indenture in order to convert the Securities;

                           (12)     the procedures for withdrawing an Optional
         Repurchase Notice, including a form of notice of withdrawal;

                           (13)     that, unless the Company defaults in making
         payment of such Optional Repurchase Price, then cash interest
         (including Contingent Interest), if any, and Principal Accretion on
         Securities surrendered for purchase will cease to accrue on and after
         the Optional Repurchase Date; and

                           (14)     the CUSIP number of the Securities.

                  At the Company's request, the Trustee or the Paying Agent
shall give such notice in the Company's name and at the Company's expense;
provided, however, that in all cases, the text of such notice shall be prepared
by the Company.

                  If any of the Securities is in the form of a Global Security,
then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with
the procedures of the Depositary applicable to the repurchase of Global
Securities.

                  For purposes of determining the existence of potential
fractional interests, all Securities subject to purchase by the Company held by
a Holder shall be considered together (no matter how many separate certificates
are to be presented). Each Holder whose Securities are purchased pursuant to
this Article Fifteen shall receive the same percentage of cash or shares of
Common Stock in payment of the Optional Repurchase Price for such Securities,
except (i) with regard to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of
Common Stock and (ii) in the event that the Company is unable to purchase the
Securities of a Holder or Holders for shares of Common Stock because any
necessary qualifications or registrations of the shares of Common Stock under
applicable state securities laws cannot be obtained, the Company may purchase
the Securities of such Holder or Holders for cash. The Company may not change
its election with

                                      100

<PAGE>

respect to the consideration (or components or percentages of components
thereof) to be paid once the Company has given its Company Notice to Holders
except pursuant to this Section 1501 in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior
to the close of business on the Optional Repurchase Date, any condition to the
payment of the Optional Repurchase Price, in whole or in part, in shares of
Common Stock.

                  Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company will
publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City of New York or publish the information on its website or
through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

                  (c)      A Holder may exercise its rights specified in
subsection (a) of this Section 1501 upon delivery of a written notice (which
shall be in substantially the form included on the reverse side of the
Securities entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" hereto and which may be
delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or
in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be
delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Depositary's
customary procedures) of the exercise of such rights (an "Optional Repurchase
Notice") to any Paying Agent at any time from the opening of business on the
date that is 20 Business Days prior to the Optional Repurchase Date until the
close of business on the Optional Repurchase Date.

                  The Optional Repurchase Notice delivered by a Holder shall
state (i) if certificated Securities have been issued, the certificate number or
numbers of the Security or Securities which the Holder will deliver to be
purchased (if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate
Depositary procedures), (ii) the portion of the Principal Amount at Issuance of
the Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must
be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (iii) that such Security shall be
purchased pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in this Indenture, and
(iv) in the event the Company elects, pursuant to the notice the Company is
required to give, to pay the Optional Repurchase Price in shares of Common
Stock, in whole or in part, but the Optional Repurchase Price is ultimately to
be paid to the Holder entirely in cash because of any of the conditions to
payment of the Optional Repurchase Price or portion of the Optional Repurchase
Price in shares of Common Stock is not satisfied prior to the close of business
on the Optional Repurchase Date, whether the Holder elects to withdraw the
notice as to some or all of the Securities to which it relates or to receive
cash in respect of the entire Optional Repurchase Price for all Securities or
portions of Securities subject to such notice. If a Holder fails to indicate the
Holder's choice with respect to paragraph (iv), the Holder will be deemed to
have elected to receive cash in respect of the entire Optional Repurchase Price
for all Securities subject to the notice in these circumstances.

                  Delivery of a Security to the Paying Agent by book-entry
transfer or physical delivery prior to, on or after the Optional Repurchase Date
(together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent is
a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Optional Repurchase Price therefor;
provided, however, that such Optional Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant
to this Section 1501 only if the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall
conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Optional
Repurchase Notice, as determined by the Company.

<PAGE>

                  The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant
to this Section 1501, a portion of a Security if the Principal Amount at
Issuance of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions
of the Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to
the purchase of such portion of such Security.

                  Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 1501 shall be consummated by the delivery of the
consideration to be received by the Holder (together with accrued and unpaid
cash interest, if any) promptly following the later of the Optional Repurchase
Date and the time of delivery of the Security. The Optional Repurchase Price may
only be paid in cash.

                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder
delivering to the Paying Agent the Optional Repurchase Notice contemplated by
this Section 1501 shall have the right to withdraw such Optional Repurchase
Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Optional Repurchase
Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in
accordance with Section 1502.

                  The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the
receipt by it of any Optional Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal
thereof.

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case
of Global Securities, any Optional Repurchase Notice may be delivered or
withdrawn and such Securities may be surrendered or delivered for purchase in
accordance with the Applicable Procedures as in effect from time to time.

                  (d)      The Company may at its option add additional dates on
which Holders would have the right to require the Company to repurchase
Securities. The Company would be required to provide 60 days advance notice to
Holders of its nonbonding intention to add additional dates.

                  (e)      There shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant
to this Section 1501 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case
may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Securities, of the required Optional
Repurchase Notice) and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a default
in the payment of the Optional Repurchase Price and any accrued and unpaid cash
interest with respect to such Securities). The Paying Agent will promptly return
to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (x) with respect to which an
Optional Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture
or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a
default in the payment of the Optional Repurchase Price and any accrued and
unpaid cash interest with respect to such Securities) in which case, upon such
return, the Optional Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to
have been withdrawn.

         Section 1502. Effect of Optional Repurchase Notice.

                  Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Optional Repurchase
Notice specified in Section 1501, the Holder of the Security in respect of which
such Repurchase Notice was given

                                      102

<PAGE>

shall (unless such Optional Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified below)
thereafter be entitled to receive the Optional Repurchase Price with respect to
such Security. Such Optional Repurchase Price shall be paid to such Holder
promptly following the later of (a) the Optional Repurchase Date with respect to
such Security (provided the conditions in Section 1501 have been satisfied) and
(b) the time of delivery of such Security to a Paying Agent by the Holder
thereof in the manner required by Section 1501. Securities in respect of which
an Optional Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be
converted into shares of Common Stock on or after the date of the delivery of
such Optional Repurchase Notice unless such Optional Repurchase Notice has first
been validly withdrawn.

                  An Optional Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a
written notice (which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand
delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case
of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in
accordance with the Depositary's customary procedures) of withdrawal delivered
by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on
the Optional Repurchase Date, specifying (i) the Principal Amount at Issuance of
the Security or portion thereof (which must be a Principal Amount at Issuance of
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) with respect to
which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, (ii) if certificated
Securities have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn
Securities, or if not certificated, such notice must comply with appropriate
Depositary procedures, and (iii) the Principal Amount at Issuance, if any, which
remains subject to the Optional Repurchase Notice.

         Section 1503. Deposit of Optional Repurchase Price.

                  On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Optional
Repurchase Date or the Business Day following the Optional Repurchase Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (other than the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company) an amount of money (in immediately
available funds if deposited on such Business Day) and/or shares of Common
Stock, or a combination thereof, sufficient to pay the aggregate Optional
Repurchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be
purchased as of such Optional Repurchase Date. The manner in which the deposit
required by this Section 1503 is made by the Company shall be at the option of
the Company, provided that such deposit shall be made in a manner such that the
Trustee or a Paying Agent shall have immediately available funds on the Optional
Repurchase Date.

                  If a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof,
money and/or shares of Common Stock sufficient to pay the Optional Repurchase
Price of any Security for which an Optional Repurchase Notice has been tendered
and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture on the Business Day
following the Optional Repurchase Date then, on the Optional Repurchase Date,
such Security will cease to be outstanding and interest, including any
Contingent Interest and Additional Amounts, if any, and Principal Accretion on
the Securities will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the
Securities is made or whether or not the Securities are delivered to the Paying
Agent) and the rights of the Holder in respect thereof shall terminate (other
than the right to receive the Optional Repurchase Price and any previously
accrued and unpaid interest (including any Contingent Interest) and Additional
Amounts upon delivery or transfer of the Securities)). The Company shall
publicly announce the

                                      103

<PAGE>

Principal Amount at Issuance of Securities purchased pursuant to this Article
Fifteen on or as soon as practicable after the Optional Repurchase Date.

         Section 1504. Securities Purchased in Part.

                  Any Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be
surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent and promptly after the Optional
Repurchase Date 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 such authorized denomination or denominations as may be
requested by such Holder, in aggregate Principal Amount at Issuance equal to,
and in exchange for, the portion of the Principal Amount at Issuance of the
Security so surrendered that is not purchased.

         Section 1505. Compliance with Securities Laws Upon Purchase of
Securities.

                  In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of
Securities under Section 1501, the Company shall (a) comply with Rule 13e-4 and
Rule 14e-1 (or any successor to either such Rule), if applicable, under the
Exchange Act, (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor or similar
schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act, and (c) otherwise
comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with such offer
to purchase or purchase of Securities, all so as to permit the rights of the
Holders and obligations of the Company under Sections 1501 through 1506 to be
exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein.

         Section 1506. Repayment to the Company.

                  To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash or shares of
Common Stock deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 1503 exceeds the
aggregate Optional Repurchase Price together with interest (including Contingent
Interest and Additional Amounts), if any, thereon of the Securities or portions
thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase, then promptly after the
Optional Repurchase Date the Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be,
shall return any such excess to the Company.

         Section 1507. Covenants of the Company

                  All shares of Common Stock delivered upon purchase of the
Securities shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free from
preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim. The Company shall use
its reasonable efforts to list or cause to have quoted any shares of Common
Stock to be issued to purchase Securities on the principal national securities
exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the shares of
Common Stock are then listed or quoted.

         Section 1508. Procedure upon Repurchase

                  The Company shall deposit cash (in respect of a cash purchase
or for fractional shares of Common Stock, as applicable) or shares of Common
Stock, or a combination thereof,

                                      104

<PAGE>

as applicable, at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 1503
sufficient to pay the aggregate Optional Repurchase Price of all Securities to
be purchased on the applicable Optional Repurchase Date pursuant to this Article
Fifteen.

                  As soon as practicable after the Optional Repurchase Date, the
Company shall deliver to each Holder entitled to receive shares of Common Stock
through the Paying Agent, a certificate for the number of full shares of Common
Stock issuable in payment of the Optional Repurchase Price and cash in lieu of
any fractional shares of Common Stock. The Person in whose name the certificate
for shares of Common Stock is registered shall be treated as a holder of record
of shares of Common Stock on the Business Day next following the Optional
Repurchase Date. Subject to Section 1501, no payment or adjustment will be made
for dividends on the shares of Common Stock the record date for which occurred
on or prior to the Optional Repurchase Date.

         Section 1509. Taxes

                  If a Holder of a Security is paid in shares of Common Stock,
the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax
due on such issue of shares of Common Stock. However, the Holder shall pay any
such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares of Common Stock to
be issued in a name other than the Holder's name. The Paying Agent may refuse to
deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in
a name other than the Holder's name until the Paying Agent receives a sum
sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares of Common Stock
are to be issued in a name other than the Holder's name. Nothing herein shall
preclude any income tax withholding required by law or regulations.

                                 ARTICLE SIXTEEN

                               CONTINGENT INTEREST

         Section 1601. Contingent Interest.

                  The Company shall make Contingent Interest payments to the
Holders of Securities, as set forth in Section 1602 below, during any six month
period from June 15 to December 15 and from December 15 to June 14, beginning
with the six-month period commencing on June 15, 2010 (each a "Contingent
Interest Period") if the average Security Price for the applicable
Five-Trading-Day Measurement Period to, but excluding, the day immediately
preceding the first day of the relevant Contingent Interest Period equals 120%
or more of the Accreted Principal Amount of such Security. During any Contingent
Interest Period when Contingent Interest is payable pursuant to this section,
each Contingent Interest payment due and payable on each $1,000 principal amount
shall equal 0.375% per annum of the average Security Price for the five Trading
Days in the relevant Five-Trading-Day Measurement Period.

<PAGE>

         Section 1602. Payment of Contingent Interest; Contingent Interest
Rights Preserved.

                  If payable, Contingent Interest shall be paid on the last day
of the applicable Contingent Interest Period (in each case, a "Contingent
Interest Payment Date"). Contingent Interest payments on any Security that are
payable, and are punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Contingent
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person who is the Holder of that
Security on the 30th day preceding the last day of such Contingent Interest
Period. Each payment of Contingent Interest on any Security shall be paid (A) if
such Security is held in the form of a Global Note, in the same-day funds by
transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States,
or (B) if such Security is held in the form of a Certificated Note, by check,
mailed to the address of such Holder as set forth in the Security Register. In
the case of a Global Note, interest payable on any Contingent Interest Payment
Date will be paid to the Depositary for the purpose of permitting Depositary to
credit the interest received by it in respect of such Global Note to the
accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.

                  Upon determination that Holders of Securities will be entitled
to receive Contingent Interest during a Contingent Interest Period, prior to the
start of such Contingent Interest Period, the Company will issue a press release
and publish such information on its website (or otherwise widely disseminate
such information) as soon as practicable.

         Section 1603. Bid Solicitation Agent.

                  The Company will appoint a Bid Solicitation Agent prior to
June 15, 2010. The Bid Solicitation Agent shall solicit bids from securities
dealers which the Company indicates that it believes are willing to bid for the
Securities. The Company may change the Bid Solicitation Agent at its discretion,
but the Bid Solicitation Agent may not be the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company.

                                ARTICLE SEVENTEEN

                                  TAX TREATMENT

         Section 1701. Tax Treatment.

                  The Company agrees, and by acceptance of beneficial ownership
interest in the Securities each beneficial holder of the Securities will be
deemed to have agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes (1) to
treat the Securities as indebtedness that is subject to Treas. Reg. Sec.
1.1275-4 (the "Contingent Payment Regulations") and, for purposes of the
Contingent Payment Regulations, to treat the fair market value of any stock
beneficially received by a beneficial holder upon any conversion or repurchase
of the Securities as a contingent payment and (2) to be bound by the Company's
determination of the "comparable yield" and "projected payment schedule," within
the meaning of the Contingent Payment Regulations, with respect to the
Securities. A Holder of Securities may obtain the issue price, amount of
original issue discount, issue date, yield to maturity, comparable yield and
projected payment schedule for the Securities by submitting a written request
for such information to the Company at the
