termination or winding-up of its existence or business.

         PREPAYMENT. The Maker may prepay the unpaid principal amount of this
Note, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, provided that at

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.

c/o Credit Suisse First Boston LLC
    Eleven Madison Avenue

Dear Sirs:

     Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"),
proposes to issue and sell to Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc., and Lehman Brothers Inc. (collectively, the "INITIAL
PURCHASERS"), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement of even date
herewith (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
its 8 1/8% Senior Notes due May 1, 2013 (the "INITIAL SECURITIES"). The Initial
Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the "INDENTURE") among the
Company and SunTrust Bank, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE"). As an inducement to the
Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company agrees with
the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers and the
holders of the Securities (as defined below) (collectively the "HOLDERS"), as
follows:

     1. Registered Exchange Offer. Unless not permitted by applicable law or
applicable interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "COMMISSION") (after the Company has complied with the ultimate
paragraph of this Section 1), the Company shall prepare and, not later than 120
days (such 120th day being the "EXCHANGE OFFER FILING DEADLINE") after the date
on which the Initial Purchasers purchase the Initial Securities pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement (the "CLOSING DATE"), file with the Commission a registration
statement (the "EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on an appropriate form
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), with
respect to a proposed offer (the "REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER") to the Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who are not
prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the
Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for
the Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of
the Company issued under the Indenture, substantially identical in all material
respects to the Initial Securities and registered under the Securities Act (the
"EXCHANGE SECURITIES"). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i)
cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the
Securities Act within 210 days after the Closing Date (such 210th day being the
"EXCHANGE OFFER EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE") and (ii) keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement effective for not less than 30 days (or longer, if
required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange
Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being called the "EXCHANGE OFFER
REGISTRATION PERIOD").

<PAGE>

     If the Company commences the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company (i)
will be entitled to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer 30 days after such
commencement (provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities
theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Registered
Exchange Offer) and (ii) will be required to consummate the Registered Exchange
Offer no later than 40 days after the date on which the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is declared effective (such 40th day being the
"CONSUMMATION DEADLINE").

     Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement by the Commission, the Company shall as soon as
practicable commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of
such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities electing to exchange the Initial Securities for Exchange Securities
(assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning
of the Securities Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course
of such Holder's business and has no arrangements with any person to participate
in the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law
or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer)
to trade such Exchange Securities from and after such Holder's receipt without
any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material
restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United
States.

     The Company and the Initial Purchasers acknowledge that, pursuant to
current interpretations by the Commission's staff of Section 5 of the Securities
Act, in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which
is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Initial Securities, acquired for its own
account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for
Exchange Securities (an "EXCHANGING DEALER"), is required to deliver a
prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the
cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer Procedures" section and the
"Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the "Plan of
Distribution" section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such
Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an Initial Purchaser that elects to sell
Securities (as defined below) acquired in exchange for Initial Securities
constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, is required to deliver a
prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation
S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale.

     The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the
prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully
delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such
requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that
(i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto
must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such period
shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and
the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless
such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company
shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to
any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange
Securities for a period of not less than 180 days after the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer.

     If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial
Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial
distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange
Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to
such Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial Purchaser, in
exchange (the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE") for the Initial Securities held by such
Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Company
issued under the Indenture and substantially identical in all material respects
to the Initial Securities (the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE SECURITIES"). The Initial
Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are
herein collectively called the "SECURITIES".

     In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall:

                                       2

<PAGE>

               (a) mail to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of
          the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an
          appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;

               (b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30
          days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice
          thereof is mailed to the Holders;

               (c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered
          Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
          of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee;

               (d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time
          prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last business
          day on which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and

               (e) otherwise comply with all applicable laws.

     As soon as practicable after the consummation of the Registered Exchange
Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall:

               (x) accept for exchange all the Securities validly tendered and
          not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer or the Private
          Exchange;

               (y) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial
          Securities so accepted for exchange; and

               (z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to
          each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private
          Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to
          the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

     The Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be subject
to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the
Securities will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that
none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class
separate from one another on any matter.

     Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will
accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the
Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been
paid on the Initial Securities, from the date of original issue of the Initial
Securities.

     Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be
required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder
will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have
no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii)
such Holder is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act,
of the Company or if it is such an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the
extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not
engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange
Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive
Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that
were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.

                                       3

<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that
(i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any
prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all
material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and
(iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.

     If following the date hereof there has been announced a change in
Commission policy with respect to exchange offers that in the reasonable opinion
of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the
Registered Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company
will seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission
allowing the Company to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer. The Company
will pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level. In
connection with the foregoing, the Company will take all such other actions as
may be requested by the Commission or otherwise required in connection with the
issuance of such decision, including without limitation (i) participating in
telephonic conferences with the Commission, (ii) delivering to the Commission
staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal
bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that the Registered
Exchange Offer should be permitted and (iii) diligently pursuing a resolution
(which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff.

     2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or in
applicable interpretations by the staff of the Commission, the Company is not
permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 1
hereof, (ii) for any other reason the Company does not consummate the Registered
Exchange Offer by the 250th day after the Closing Date, (iii) any Initial
Purchaser shall notify the Company following consummation of the Registered
Exchange Offer that the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities)
held by such Initial Purchaser are not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange
Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) certain Holders are
prohibited by law or policy of the Commission from participating in the
Registered Exchange Offer or may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by
such Holders in the Registered Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a
prospectus (other than a prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement), the Company shall take the following actions (the date on which any
of the conditions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) occur,
including in the case of clause (iii) the receipt of the required notice, being
a "TRIGGER DATE"):

               (a) The Company shall (1) in the case of clause (i) above,
          promptly (but in no event later than the later of (x) the Exchange
          Offer Filing Deadline and (y) five days following the Trigger Date
          arising from clause (i) above) file with the Commission and thereafter
          use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective no
          later than the Exchange Offer Effectiveness Deadline and (2) in the
          case of clauses (ii) through (iv) above promptly (but in no event more
          than 30 days following the Trigger Date (such 30th day being the
          "SHELF FILING DEADLINE" and, together with the Exchange Offer Filing
          Deadline and the deadline referred to in clause (a)(1)(i)(y) above,
          the "FILING DEADLINE")) file with the Commission and thereafter use
          its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective no later
          than 90 days after the Trigger Date (such 90th day being the "SHELF
          REGISTRATION EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE" and, together with the Exchange
          Offer Effectiveness Deadline, an "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE"), a
          registration statement (the "SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT" and,
          together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a
          "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on an appropriate form under the Securities
          Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted
          Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with
          the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration
          Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the
          "SHELF REGISTRATION"); provided, however, that no Holder (other than
          an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by
          it

                                       4

<PAGE>

          covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees
          in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement
          applicable to such Holder.

               (b) The Company shall, not less than 30 days prior to the
          Effective Time (as defined in Section 2(g) below), mail the Notice and
          Questionnaire (as defined in Section 2(g) below) to the holders of
          Transfer Restricted Securities. No Holder shall be entitled to be
          named as a selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement
          as of the Effective Time, and no Holder shall be entitled to use the
          prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Transfer Restricted
          Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned a completed
          and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company by the deadline for
          response set forth therein; provided, however, that Holders of
          Transfer Restricted Securities shall have at least 15 days from the
          date on which the Notice and Questionnaire is first mailed to such
          Holders to return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to
          the Company.

               (c) After the Effective Time, upon the request of any Holder of
          Transfer Restricted Securities that is not then an Electing Holder (as
          defined in Section 2(g) below), the Company shall promptly send a
          Notice and Questionnaire to such Holder; provided that the Company
          shall not be required to take any action to name such Holder as a
          selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to
          enable such Holder to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for
          resales of Transfer Restricted Securities until such Holder has
          returned a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the
          Company.

               (d) As soon as practicable, the Company shall prepare and file
          with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Shelf
          Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein as may be
          reasonably necessary to effect and maintain the effectiveness of such
          Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of all Electing Holders
          for the period specified in Section 2(e) hereof and as may be required
          by applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the
          instructions to the form of such Shelf Registration Statement, and, if
          required, cause any such amendments to be declared effective by the
          Commission, and furnish to each of the Electing Holders such copies as
          each Electing Holder may reasonably request of any such supplement or
          amendment simultaneously with or prior to its being used or filed with
          the Commission.

               (e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the
          Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit
          the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the
          Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for
          such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from
          the date of its effectiveness or such shorter period that will
          terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
          Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) are no longer
          restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities
          Act, or any successor rule thereof). The Company shall be deemed not
          to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf
          Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it
          voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of
          Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such
          Securities during that period, unless such action is required by
          applicable law.

               (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the
          contrary, the Company shall ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration
          Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part
          thereof and any supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the
          Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, complies in all
          material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities
          Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (ii)
          any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (in either
          case, other than with respect to information included therein in
          reliance upon written information furnished to the Company by or on
          behalf of any Holder specifically for use therein) does not contain
          any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
          fact required to be stated therein or

                                       5
<PAGE>

          necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any
          prospectus forming part of any Shelf Registration Statement, and any
          supplement to such prospectus (in either case, other than with respect
          to information included therein in reliance upon written information
          furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder specifically
          for use therein), does not include an untrue statement of a material
          fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
          necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
          circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

               (g) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall
          have following respective meanings:

               "Effective Time" with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement
          shall mean the time and date as of which the Commission declares the
          Shelf Registration Statement effective or as of which the Shelf
          Registration Statement otherwise become effective.

               "Electing Holder" shall mean any Holder of Transfer Restricted
          Securities that has returned a completed and signed Notice and
          Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 2(b) hereof.

               "Notice and Questionnaire" means a selling security holder Notice
          and Questionnaire substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached
          hereto.

     3. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration
contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any Registered

               to make changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus
               included therein in order that such Registration Statement or the
               prospectus included therein do not contain an untrue statement of
               a material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be
               stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in
               the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under
               which they were made) not misleading.

               (c) The Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain the

          effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

          amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request.
          The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to

          each of the selling Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities in
          connection with the offering and sale of the Transfer Restricted
          Securities covered by such prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
          thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement.

               (g) The Company shall deliver to each Initial Purchaser, any
          Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other
          persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered
          Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus
          included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any
          amendment or supplement thereto as such persons may reasonably
          request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this
          Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement
          thereto by any Initial Purchaser, if necessary, any Participating
          Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus
          following the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the
          offering and sale of the Exchange Securities covered by the
          prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in such
          Exchange Offer Registration Statement.

               (h) Prior to the effective date of any Registration Statement,
          the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to register or
          qualify, or cooperate with the Holders included therein and their
          respective counsel in connection with the registration or
          qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the
          securities or "blue sky" laws of such states of the United States as
          any such Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and
          do any and all other acts or things necessary to enable the offer and
          sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such
          Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not
          be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any
          jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action
          which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in
          any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

               (i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the
          Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
          certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any
          Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such
          denominations and registered in such names as the Holders thereof may
          request in writing a reasonable period of time prior to sales of the
          Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

               (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs
          (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the
          Company is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement,
          the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission a
          post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement
          to the related prospectus and any other required document so that, as
          thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Securities from a Holder,
          the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
          or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
          necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
          circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the
          Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders and any known
          Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through
          (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until
          the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the
          Initial Purchasers, the Holders and any such Participating
          Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of
          effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in
          Section 2(b) hereof and the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
          provided for in Section 1 hereof shall each be extended by the number
          of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to
          and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders and
          any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended
          or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j).

               (k) Not later than the effective date of the applicable
          Registration Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for
          the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the

                                       8

          applicable trustee with printed certificates for the Initial
          Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
          Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with
          The Depository Trust Company.

               (l) The Company will comply with all rules and regulations of the
          Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the
          Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make
          generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in
          accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings
          statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
          Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90
          days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month
          of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective
          date of the applicable Registration Statement, which statement shall
          cover such 12-month period.

               (m) The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under
          the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner and
          containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such
          qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the
          appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall
          appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions
          of the Indenture.

               (n) The Company may require each Holder of Transfer Restricted
          Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to
          furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the
          distribution of the Transfer Restricted Securities as the Company may
          from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf
          Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such
          registration the Transfer Restricted Securities of any Holder that
          fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after
          receiving such request.

          into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an
          underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other
          action, if any, as Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
          of the Securities being sold or the Managing Underwriters (if any)
          shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
          Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration.

          make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of a majority
          in aggregate principal amount of the Securities being sold, any
          underwriter participating in any disposition of Securities pursuant to
          the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other
          agent retained by such Holders of the Securities or any such
          underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent
          corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the
          Company's officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to

          a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or any such
          underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the
          Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably
          necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable
          investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act;
          provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information
          gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by
          CSFB LLC and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated
          by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4
          hereof.

               (q) In the case of a Shelf Registration, the Company, if
          requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
          Securities being sold, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an
          opinion and updates thereof as customarily delivered relating to the

          addressed to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any,
          thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective
          date of such Shelf Registration Statement; (ii) its officers to
          execute and deliver all customary documents and

                                       9

          applicable Securities and (iii) its independent public accountants and
          the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity
          for which financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration
          Statement to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable
          Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary
          form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort
          letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to
          receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if
          permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72.

          any Initial Purchaser or any known Participating Broker-Dealer, the

          changes as are customary in connection with the preparation of a
          Registration Statement and (ii) its independent public accountants and
          the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity
          for which financial information is provided in the Registration

          Broker-Dealer a comfort letter, in customary form, meeting the
          requirements as to the substance thereof as set forth in Section 6(a)
          and (b) of the Purchase Agreement, with appropriate date changes.

               (s) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be
          consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to the
          Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in
          exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
          Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or caused to
          be marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such Initial
          Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities
          or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event
          shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

               (t) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (a) if
          the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of
          such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the
          Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial
          Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by
          a Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating
          agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate

          Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of
          due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering

          the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified
          independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of
          underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such

days following demand for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that
upon a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the
Indemnified Parties were not entitled to payment of such expenses by the Company
pursuant to this subsection (a), the Indemnified Parties shall reimburse such
payment to the Company; provided further, however, that (i) the Company shall
not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or
prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company
by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with
respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration
Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not
inure to the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the
person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the
Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such
Securities was required to be delivered by such Holder or Participating
Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any
such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder or Participating
Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such
person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities
to such person, a copy of the final prospectus if the Company had previously
furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party.
The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and
each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Holders if requested by such Holders.

     (b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from
and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect
thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a
Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such
Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically
for inclusion therein. Subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding
this sentence, the Holders shall reimburse the Company promptly, but in no event
later than 30 days following demand, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in
respect thereof; provided, however, that upon a final determination by a court
of competent jurisdiction that the Company or any such controlling person was
not entitled to payment of such expenses by the Holders pursuant to this
subsection (b), the Company shall reimburse such payment to the Holders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its
controlling persons.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of
notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental
investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify
the indemnifying party will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party
from any obligations to any indemnified party

                                       12

<PAGE>

other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of
its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other
expenses, other than reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by such indemnified
party at the indemnifying party's reasonable request in connection with the
defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent
of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party
and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless
such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party
from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and
(ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or
a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b)
above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b)
above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnified party on the other from the exchange of the Securities, pursuant to
the Registered Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the
foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on
the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or
such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other,
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by
an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is
the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 5(d), the Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the
sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount
of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this
paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights
to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

     (e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of
the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances.

                                       13

<PAGE>

     (a) Additional interest (the "ADDITIONAL INTEREST") with respect to the
Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur
(each such event in clauses (i) through (iv) below being herein called a
"REGISTRATION DEFAULT"):

     (i)   any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not filed
           with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline;

     (ii)  any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not declared
           effective by the Commission on or prior to the applicable
           Effectiveness Deadline;

     (iii) the Registered Exchange Offer has not been consummated on or prior to
           the Consummation Deadline; or

     (iv)  any Registration Statement required by this Agreement has been
           declared effective by the Commission but (A) such Registration
           Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or (B) such Registration
           Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable in connection
           with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods
           specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of
           which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration
           Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact or
           omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
           therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made
           not misleading, or (2) it shall be necessary to amend such
           Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus, to
           comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective
           rules thereunder and, in the case of any such amendments or
           supplements related solely to naming additional Electing Holders as
           selling security holders under a Shelf Registration Statement, such
           amendments or supplements are not filed and declared effective by the
           Commission within five business days of the Company's receipt of the
           applicable Notice and Questionnaire.

Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever the reason
for any such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is beyond the
control of the Company or pursuant to operation of law or as a result of any
action or inaction by the Commission.

     Additional Interest shall accrue on the Securities over and above the
interest set forth in the title of the Securities from and including the date on
which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on
which all such Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate of 0.25% per
annum (the "ADDITIONAL INTEREST RATE") for the first 90-day period immediately
following the occurrence of such Registration Default. The Additional Interest
Rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each
subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to
a maximum aggregate Additional Interest Rate of 1.0% per annum. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Additional Interest shall not accrue on any Transfer Restricted
Security under clause (iv) above following the consummation of the Registered
Exchange Offer if (a) such Transfer Restricted Security could have been
exchanged by the holder thereof, other than a broker-dealer that exchanged such
Transfer Restricted Security prior to consummation of the Registered Exchange
Offer, for a freely transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange
Offer or (b) the holder of such Transfer Restricted Security shall, under the
terms of this Agreement, have the right to request that the Company file a Shelf
Registration Statement or shall have previously requested that the Company file
a Shelf Registration Statement.

     (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(iv) hereof shall be
deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf
Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration
Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective
amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited
financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective
amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to

                                       14

<PAGE>

permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other material events, with
respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf
Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause
(y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement
such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such
events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs
for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Additional Interest shall be
payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration
Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured.

     (c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section 6(a) will be
payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to the
Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying
the applicable Additional Interest Rate by the principal amount of the
Securities and further multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days such Additional Interest Rate was applicable during such period
(determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months),
and the denominator of which is 360.

     (d) "TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES" means each Security until (i) the date
on which such Security has been exchanged by a person other than a broker-dealer
for a freely transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer,
(ii) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer
of an Initial Security for an Exchange Note, the date on which such Exchange
Note is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to
the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, (iii) the date on which such Security has been
effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance
with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the date on which such Security is
distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is
saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.

     7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required
to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities, make publicly available other information so long as
necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A.
The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Transfer Restricted
Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the requirements of
Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any
of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

     8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering,
the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will
administer the offering ("MANAGING UNDERWRITERS") will be selected by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted
Securities to be included in such offering, subject to the consent of the
Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Holders
shall be responsible for all underwriting commissions and discounts in
connection therewith. For purposes of this Section 8, the Company agrees that
any Initial Purchaser shall be acceptable as a Managing Underwriter.

     No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless
such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted Securities on
the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

                                       15

     9. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the
Company to comply with its obligations under Sections 1 and 2 hereof may result
in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for
which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to
measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such
failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be
required to specifically enforce the Company's obligations under Sections 1 and
2 hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not on or after the date
of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that
is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise materially conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to
the Holders hereunder do not in any way materially conflict with and are not
inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities
under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

     (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Company and the written
consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or
consents. Without the consent of the Holder of each Security, however, no
modification may change the provisions relating to the payment of Additional
Interest.

     (d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted

the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision
in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall
not be affected or impaired thereby.

     (k) Securities Held by the Company. Whenever the consent or approval of
Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities is required
hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its affiliates (other than
subsequent Holders of Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be
affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities) shall not be
counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders
of such required percentage.

     (l) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company hereby submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of
Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The Letter
of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection
with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities
where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed
that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it
will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection
with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Initial Securities, where such Initial Securities were acquired by
such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection
with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See "Plan of Distribution."

                                                                         ANNEX C

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This
Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in
exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has
agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make
this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for
use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until           , 2003, all
dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to
deliver a prospectus.(1)

     The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange
Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for
their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time
in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a
combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time
of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated
prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through
brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or
concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange
Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were
received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker
or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be
deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any
profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission or
concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by
acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
