Series A Common Stock and the Company's Series B common stock, par value $0.01
per share (the "Series B Common Stock" and together with the Series A Common
Stock, the "Common Stock"), as of the close of business on October 31, 2002 (the

record on the Record Date. Each whole Right entitles the holder thereof to

Privilege and, if its Basic Subscription Privilege is fully exercised, pursuant
to its Oversubscription Privilege. If the aggregate Subscription Price delivered
or transmitted by the Rightsholder with this Rights Certificate exceeds the
aggregate Subscription Price for all shares for which the Rightsholder would be
entitled to subscribe pursuant to its Basic Subscription Privilege and no
direction is given as to the excess, such Rightsholder will be deemed to have

Excess Shares that could be purchased with such excess Subscription Price.

following the Expiration Time. No fractional Rights or cash in lieu thereof will
be issued or paid. Set forth above is the number of Rights evidenced by this
Rights Certificate that the Rightsholder is entitled to exercise pursuant to
such Rightsholder's Basic Subscription Privilege.

     THIS RIGHTS CERTIFICATE IS TRANSFERABLE, AND MAY BE COMBINED OR DIVIDED
(BUT ONLY INTO RIGHTS CERTIFICATES EVIDENCING FULL RIGHTS) AT THE OFFICE OF THE
SUBSCRIPTION AGENT. RIGHTSHOLDERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IF THEY CHOOSE TO
EXERCISE, ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR SELL ONLY PART OF THEIR RIGHTS, THEY MAY NOT
RECEIVE A NEW RIGHTS CERTIFICATE IN SUFFICIENT TIME TO EXERCISE, ASSIGN,
TRANSFER OR SELL THE REMAINING RIGHTS EVIDENCED THEREBY.

please complete line "A" and Section 1 below.

your Basic Subscription Privilege and Oversubscription Privilege or a notice of

of guaranteed delivery.

     If the aggregate Subscription Price paid by a Rightsholder is insufficient
to purchase the number of shares of Series A Common Stock that the holder
indicates are being subscribed for, or if a Rightsholder does not specify the
number of shares of Series A Common Stock to be purchased, then the Rightsholder
will be deemed to have exercised first its Basic Subscription Privilege and
second its Oversubscription Privilege to purchase shares of Series A Common
Stock to the fullest extent of the payment rendered. If the aggregate
Subscription Price paid by a Rightsholder exceeds the amount necessary to
purchase the number of shares of Series A Common Stock for which the
Rightsholder has indicated an intention to subscribe, then the Rightsholder will
be deemed to have exercised first its Basic Subscription Privilege and second
its Oversubscription Privilege to the fullest extent of the excess payment
tendered.
