     RIGHTS AGREEMENT dated as of December 16, 2002, between Innodata
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and AMERICAN STOCK TRANSFER
& TRUST COMPANY, a New York corporation (the "Rights Agent").

                                    Preamble
                                    --------

     On December 16, 2002 (the "Rights Dividend Declaration Date"), the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board") authorized and declared a dividend
distribution of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each share
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock")
outstanding at the close of business on December 27, 2002 (the "Record Date"),
and has authorized the issuance of one Right (as such number may be
herein-after adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof) with respect to each
additional share of Common Stock that shall become outstanding between the
Record Date and the earliest of Close of Business on the Distribution Date, the
Redemption Date and Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, each Right
representing the right to purchase one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share (as
hereinafter defined), or such different amount and/or kind of securities as
shall be hereinafter provided.

     The parties wish to enter into this Agreement in order to set forth the
terms of the Rights.

     Accordingly, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
herein set forth, the par-ties hereby agree as follows:

        Section 1 Definitions.
        ---------------------

     For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the following
meanings:

          (a)"Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person who or which, together
with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner
of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock then out-standing, but shall not
include (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company, (iii) any employee
benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company, (iv) any Person
organized, appointed or established by the Company for or pursuant to the terms
of any such plan; provided, however, that the foregoing definition shall be
subject to the following qualifications:

                    (i)     an Exempted Person shall not be become an Acquiring
               Person unless such Exempted Person, together with all Affiliates
               and Associates of such Exempted Person, shall be the Beneficial
               Owner of 25% or more of the shares of Common Stock then
               outstanding;

                    (ii)     no Person shall become an "Acquiring Person" as the
               result of an acquisition of Common Stock by the Company which, by
               reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the
               proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person
               to 15% (25% in the case of an Exempted Person) or more of the
               shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding; provided,
               however, that if a Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of
               15% (25% in the case of an Exempted Person) or more of the Common
               Stock of the Company then outstanding by reason of share
               purchases by the Company and shall, after such share purchases by
               the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common
               Stock of the Company constituting 1% or more of the Common Stock
               outstanding as of the Close of business on the date that such
               Person first becomes the Beneficial Owner of 15% (25% in the case
               of an Exempted Person) or more of the Common Stock of the
               Company, then such Person shall be deemed to be an "Acquiring
               Person"; and

                    (iii)     if the Board determines in good faith that a
               Person who would otherwise be an "Acquiring Person" became such
               inadvertently (including, without limitation, because (x) such
               Person was unaware that it beneficially owned a percentage of
               Common Stock that would otherwise cause such Person to be an
               "Acquiring Person" or (y) such Person was aware of the extent of
               its Beneficial ownership of Common Stock but had no actual
               knowledge of the consequences of such Beneficial ownership under
               this Agreement) and without any intention of changing or
               influencing control of the company, and if such person as
               promptly as practicable divested or divests itself of Beneficial
               Ownership of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock so
               that such Person would no longer be an "Acquiring Person," then
               such Person shall not be deemed to be or to have become an
               "Acquiring Person" for any purposes of this Agreement.

          (b) "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the respective meanings
     ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act Regulations, as in
     effect on the date of this Agreement .

          (c) A Person shall be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, and shall be

                    (i)     which such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates
               or Associates, directly or indirectly, has the right to acquire
               (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the
               passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or
               under-standing (whether or not in writing) or upon the exercise
               of conversion rights, exchange rights, other rights, warrants or
               options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a Person shall not
               be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, or to "beneficially own,"
               (A) securities tendered pursuant to a tender or ex-change offer
               made by such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or
               Associates until such tendered securities are accepted for
               purchase or exchange, or (B) securities issuable upon exercise of
               Rights;

                    (ii)      which such Person or any of such Person's
               Affiliates or Associates, directly or indirectly, has "beneficial
               ownership" of or has the right to vote or dispose of (in each
               case as deter-mined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act
               Regulations), including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or
               understanding, whether or not in writing; provided, however, that
               a Person shall not be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, or to
               "beneficially own," any security under this subparagraph (ii) as
               a result of an agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote
               such security if such agreement, arrangement or under-standing:
               (A) arises solely from a revocable proxy given in response to a
               public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in
               accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act
               Regulations, and (B) is not also then report-able by such Person
               on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any comparable or
               successor report); or

                    (iii)     which are beneficially owned, directly or
               indirectly, by any other Person (or any Affiliate or Associate
               thereof) with which such Person (or any of such Person's
               Affiliates or Associates) has any agreement, arrangement or
               understanding (whether or not in writing), for the purpose of
               acquiring, holding, voting (except pursuant to a revocable proxy
               as described in the proviso to subparagraph (ii) of this
               paragraph (c)) or disposing of any voting securities of the
               Company;

provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph (c) shall cause a Person
engaged in business as an underwriter of securities to be the "Beneficial
Owner" of, or to "beneficially own," any securities that such Person acquires,
or has the right to acquire, pursuant to customary agreements with the Company
and/or between underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona
fide public offering of securities.  Notwithstanding  anything in the
definition  of  Beneficial  Ownership  to the contrary,  the phrase "then
outstanding," when used with reference to a Person's Beneficial Ownership of

          (ee) "Substitution Period" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
11(a)(iii) hereof.

          (ff) "Summary of Rights" shall mean the Summary of Rights to Purchase
Preferred Shares in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.

          (gg) "Trading Day" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
11(d)(i) hereof.

          (hh) "Voting Stock," as of the date of any determination, shall mean
the shares of Common Stock then outstanding and any other shares of capital
stock of the Company then outstanding which are entitled to vote upon matters
submitted to the shareholders of the Company for a vote.

        Section 2. Appointment of Rights Agent.
        --------------------------------------

          The Company hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as agent for the
Company and the holders of the Rights (who, in accordance with Section 3 hereof,
shall prior to the Distribution Date also be the holders of the Common Stock) in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Rights Agent hereby
accepts such appointment.

        Section 3. Issue of Right Certificates.
        --------------------------------------

          (a) Until the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth
calendar day after the Shares Acquisition Date or (ii) the tenth Business Day
(or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors
prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) after the date of
the commencement by any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the
Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the
Company or any entity organized, appointed or established by the Company for or
pursuant to the terms of any such plan) of, or of the first public announcement
of the intention of any Person (other than any of the Persons referred to in the
preceding parenthetical) to commence, a tender or exchange offer the
consummation of which would result in any Person becoming an Acquiring Person
(such date being herein referred to as the "Distribution Date"), (x) the Rights
will be evidenced (subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof) by the
certificates for Common Stock registered in the names of the holders thereof
(which certificates shall also be deemed to be Right Certificates) and not by
separate Right Certificates, and (y) the Rights will be transferable only in
connection with the transfer of Common Stock. As soon as practicable after the
Distribution Date, the Company will prepare and execute, the Rights Agent will
countersign, and the Company will send or cause to be sent (and the Rights Agent
will, if requested, send) by first-class, insured, postage-prepaid mail, to each
record holder of Common Stock as of the Close of Business on the Distribution
Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records of the Company, a Right
Certificate evidencing one Right for each share of Common Stock so held. From
and after the Distribution Date, the Rights will be evidenced solely by such
Right Certificates.

          (b) On the Record Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, the
Company will send a copy of the Summary of Rights by first-class,
postage-prepaid mail, to each record holder of Common Stock as of the Close of
Business on the Record Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records
of the Company. With respect to certificates for Common Stock outstanding as of
the Record Date, until the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, the
Rights will be evidenced by such certificates registered in the names of the
holders thereof together with a copy of the Summary of Rights. Until the Close
of Business on the Distribution Date (or, if earlier the Redemption Date or the
Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date), the surrender for transfer of
any certificate for Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date, with or without
a copy of the Summary of Rights attached thereto, shall also constitute the
transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock evidenced thereby.

          (c) Certificates for Common Stock which become outstanding (including,
without limitation, reacquired Common Stock referred to in the last sentence of
this paragraph (c)) after the Record Date but prior to the earliest of the Close
of Business on the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date or the Close of
Business on the Final Expiration Date shall have impressed on, printed on,
written on or otherwise affixed to them the following legend:

               This certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to
               certain Rights as set forth in a Rights Agreement between
               Innodata Corporation and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company,
               dated as of December 16, 2002 (the "Rights Agreement"), the terms
               of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy
               of which is on file at the principal executive offices of
               Innodata Corporation. Under certain circumstances, as set forth
               in the Rights Agreement, such Rights will be evidenced by
               separate certificates and will no longer be evidenced by this
               certificate. Innodata Corporation will mail to the holder of this
               certificate a copy of the Rights Agreement without charge after
               receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain
               circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, Rights that
               are or were acquired or beneficially owned by Acquiring Persons
               (as defined in the Rights Agreement) may become null and void.

                With respect to such  certificates  containing the foregoing
legend, until the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, the Rights
associated with the Common Stock represented by certificates shall be evidenced
by such certificates alone, and the surrender for transfer of any such
certificate shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the
Common Stock represented thereby.

                In the event that the Company  purchases  or acquires any Common
Stock after the Record Date but prior to the Close of Business on the
Distribution Date, any Rights associated with such Common Stock shall be deemed
canceled and retired so that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any
Rights associated with the shares of Common Stock which are no longer
outstanding.

        Section 4. Form of Right Certificates.
        -------------------------------------

               The Right  Certificates  (and the forms of election to purchase
Preferred Shares and of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall
be substantially the same as Exhibit B hereto and may have such marks of
identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements
printed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any
applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any
rule or regulation of any stock exchange or transaction reporting system on
which the Rights may from time to time be listed, or to conform to usage.
Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Right Certificates shall
entitle the holders thereof to purchase such number of one one-thousandths of a
Preferred Share as shall be set forth therein at the Purchase Price, but the
number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share and the Purchase Price shall
be subject to adjustment as provided herein.

        Section 5. Countersignature and Registration.
        --------------------------------------------

          (a) The Right Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company
by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, any of
its Vice Presidents, or its Chief Financial Officer, either manually or by
facsimile signature, shall have affixed thereto the Company's seal or a
facsimile thereof, and shall be attested by the Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary of the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature. The Right
Certificates shall be countersigned by the Rights Agent and shall not be valid
for any purpose unless so countersigned, either manually or by facsimile. In
case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Right
Certificates shall cease to be such officer of the Company before
countersignature by the Rights Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company,
such Right Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Rights Agent
and issued and delivered by the Company with the same force and effect as though
the person who signed such Right Certificates had not ceased to be such officer
of the Company; and any Right Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company
by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Right
Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Right
Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Rights Agreement any
such person was not such an officer.

          (b) Following the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will keep or
cause to be kept, at its principal office, books for registration of the
transfer of the Right Certificates issued hereunder. Such books shall show the
names and addresses of the respective holders of the Right Certificates, the
number of Rights evidenced by each of the Right Certificates and the date of
each of the Right Certificates.

        Section 6. Transfer, Split Up, Combination and Exchange of Right
        -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Right Certificates.
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------

          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof, at any time after
the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, and prior to the earlier of the
Redemption Date or the Close of Business on the Final Expiration Date, any Right
Certificate or Right Certificates (other than Right Certificates representing
Rights that have become void pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof) may be
transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Right Certificate or
Right Certificates, entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number of
one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share as the Right Certificate or Right
Certificates surrendered then entitled such holder to purchase. Any registered
holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Right Certificate
or Right Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Rights
Agent, and shall surrender the Right Certificate or Right Certificates to be
transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at the principal office of the
Rights Agent. Thereupon the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver to the
person entitled thereto a Right Certificate or Right Certificates, as the case
may be, as so requested. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient for
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Right Certificates.

          (b) Upon receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
a Right Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or
security reasonably satisfactory to them, and, at the Company's request,
reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses
incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of
the Right Certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new
Right Certificate of like tenor to the Rights Agent for delivery to the
registered holder in lieu of the Right Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated.

        Section 7 Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date of
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
     Rights.
     ------

          (a) The registered holder of any Right Certificate (other than a
holder whose Rights have become void pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof or
have been redeemed pursuant to Section 23 hereof) may exercise the Rights
evidenced thereby in whole or in part at any time after the Distribution Date
and prior to the Final Expiration Date upon surrender of the Right Certificate,
with the form of election to purchase on the reverse side thereof duly executed,
to the Rights Agent at its principal office, together with payment of the
Purchase Price for each one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share as to which the
Rights are exercised, prior to the Close of Business on the Final Expiration
Date.

          (b) The purchase price for each one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share to be purchased upon the exercise of a Right shall initially be Four
Dollars ($4.00) (the "Purchase Price"), shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as provided in Sections 11 and 13 hereof and shall be payable in lawful
money of the United States of America in accordance with paragraph (c) below.

          (c) Upon receipt of a Right Certificate representing exercisable
Rights, with the form of election to purchase and certificate duly executed,
accompanied by payment of the Purchase Price for the number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share to be purchased, and an amount equal to any
applicable transfer tax required to be paid by the holder of such Right
Certificate in accordance with Section 9 hereof, in cash or by certified check,
cashier's check or money order payable to the order of the Company, the Rights
Agent shall thereupon promptly (i) requisition from any transfer agent of the
Preferred Shares certificates for the number of one one-thousandths of a
Preferred Share to be purchased and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes
its transfer agent to comply with all such requests, (ii) when appropriate,
requisition from the Company the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuance
of fractional Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 14 hereof, (iii) after
receipt of such certificates, cause the same to be delivered to or upon the
order of the registered holder of such Right Certificate, registered in such
name or names as may be designated by such holder and (iv) when appropriate,
after receipt, deliver such cash to or upon the order of the registered holder
of such Right Certificate.

          (d) In case the registered holder of any Right Certificate shall
exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Right Certificate
evidencing Rights equivalent to the Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued
by the Rights Agent to the registered holder of such Right Certificate or to
such registered holder's duly authorized assigns, subject to the provisions of
Section 14 hereof.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any
action with respect to a registered holder upon the occurrence of any purported
exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall have
(i) completed and signed the certificate contained in the form of election to
purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Right Certificate surrendered for
such exercise and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity of the
Beneficial Owner (and/or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates
thereof as the Company shall reasonably request.

        Section 8 Cancellation and Destruction of Right Certificates.
        -------------------------------------------------------------

          All Right Certificates surrendered for the purpose of exercise,
transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company
or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in
canceled form, or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be canceled by it,
and no Right Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly
permitted by any of the provisions of this Rights Agreement. The Company shall
deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights
Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Right Certificate purchased or
acquired by the Company otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Rights
Agent shall deliver all canceled Right Certificates to the Company, or shall, at
the written request of the Company, destroy such canceled Right Certificates,
and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the
Company.

        Section 9. Status and Availability of Preferred Shares.
        ------------------------------------------------------

          (a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action
as may be necessary to ensure that all Preferred Shares delivered upon exercise
of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Preferred
Shares (subject to payment of the Purchase Price), be duly and validly
authorized and issued and fully paid and non-assessable shares.

          (b) The Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due
and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges which may
be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Right Certificates or
of any Preferred Shares upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not,
however, be required to pay any transfer tax which may be payable in respect of
any transfer or delivery of Right Certificates to a Person other than, or the
issuance or delivery of certificates in a name other than that of, the
registered holder of the Right Certificate evidencing Rights surrendered for
exercise or to issue or to deliver any certificates for Preferred Shares upon
the exercise of any Rights until any such tax shall have been paid (any such tax
being payable by the holder of such Right Certificate at the time of surrender)
or until it has been established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that
no such tax is due.

          (c) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) file, as soon as
practicable following the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date,
or as soon as is required by law following the Distribution Date, as the case
may be, a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), with respect to the securities purchasable upon exercise
of the Rights on an appropriate form, (ii) cause such registration statement to
become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, and (iii) cause such
registration statement to remain effective (with a prospectus at all times
meeting the requirements of the Securities Act) until the earlier of (A) the
date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable, and (B) the Final
Expiration Date. The Company will also take such action as may be appropriate
under, or to ensure compliance with, the securities or "blue sky" laws of the
various states in connection with the exercisability of the Rights. The Company
may temporarily suspend, for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days
after the date on which it first becomes obligated to file a registration
statement as described above, the exercisability of the Rights in order to
prepare and file such registration statement and permit it to become effective.
Upon any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating
that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as
a public announcement at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights
shall not be exercisable in any jurisdiction if the requisite qualification in
such jurisdiction shall not have been obtained or the exercise thereof shall not
be permitted under applicable law or a registration statement shall not have
been declared effective.

          (d) The Company covenants and agrees that it will use its best efforts
to cause to be reserved and kept available, out of its authorized and unissued
Preferred Shares or any Preferred Shares held in its treasury, the number of
Preferred Shares that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all
outstanding Rights in accordance with Section 7 hereof. Upon the occurrence of
any events resulting in an increase in the aggregate number of shares of
Preferred Stock (or other equity securities of the Company) issuable upon
exercise of all outstanding Rights above the number then reserved, the Company
shall make appropriate increases in the number of shares so reserved.

        Section 10. Preferred Shares Record Date.
        ----------------------------------------

          Each person in whose name any certificate for Preferred Shares is
issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have
become the holder of record of the Preferred Shares represented thereby on, and
such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the Right Certificate
evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price
(and any applicable transfer taxes) was made. Prior to the exercise of the
Rights evidenced thereby, the holder of a Right Certificate shall not be
entitled to any rights of a holder of Preferred Shares for which the Rights
shall be exercisable, including, without limitation, the right to vote, to
receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise any preemptive rights,
and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the
Company, except as provided herein.

        Section 11. Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number of Shares or
        -------------------------------------------------------------
     Number of Rights.
     ----------------

          The Purchase Price, the number of Preferred Shares covered by each
Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time
to time as provided in this Section 11.

          (a) (i) In the event the Company shall at any time after the date of
this Agreement (A) declare a dividend on the Preferred Shares payable in
Preferred Shares, (B) subdivide the outstanding Preferred Shares, (C) combine
the outstanding Preferred Shares into a smaller number of Preferred Shares or
(D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Preferred
Shares (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation),
except as otherwise provided in this Section 11(a), the Purchase Price in effect
at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of
such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the number and kind of
shares of capital stock issuable on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted
so that the holder of any Right exercised after such time shall be entitled to
receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock which, if such
Right had been exercised immediately prior to such date, such holder would have
owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such
dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided, however, that
in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be
less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock of the Company
issuable upon exercise of one Right. If an event occurs which would require an
adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii), the
adjustment provided for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and
shall be made prior, to any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii).

             (ii) Subject to the following paragraph of this subparagraph
(ii), in the event any Person shall become an Acquiring Person, each holder of a
Right shall thereafter have a right to receive, upon exercise thereof at a price
equal to the then current Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in lieu of Preferred Shares,
such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as shall equal the result
obtained by (x) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable and
dividing that product by (y) 50% of the then current per share market price of
the Company's Common Stock (determined pursuant to Section 11(d) hereof) on the
date such Person became an Acquiring Person. In the event that any Person shall
become an Acquiring Person and the Rights shall then be outstanding, the Company
shall not take any action that would eliminate or diminish the benefits intended
to be afforded by the Rights.

             From and after the occurrence of such an event, any Rights that
are or were beneficially owned or acquired by such Acquiring Person (or any
Associate or Affiliate of such Acquiring Person) on or after the earlier of (x)
the date of such event and (y) the Distribution Date shall be void and any
holder of such Rights shall thereafter have no right to exercise such Rights
under any provision of this Agreement. No Right Certificate shall be issued
pursuant to Section 3 that represents Rights beneficially owned by an Acquiring
Person whose Rights would be void pursuant to the preceding sentence or any
Associate or Affiliate thereof; no Right Certificate shall be issued at any time
upon the transfer of any Rights to an Acquiring Person whose Rights would be
void pursuant to the preceding sentence or any Associate or Affiliate thereof or
to any nominee of such Acquiring Person, Associate or Affiliate; and any Right
Certificate delivered to the Rights Agent for transfer to an Acquiring Person
whose Rights would be void pursuant to the preceding sentence or any Associate
or Affiliate thereof shall be canceled.

             (iii) In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock
which are authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation and not
outstanding or subscribed for, or reserved or otherwise committed for issuance
for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights, are not sufficient to
permit the holder of each Right to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock
to which he would be entitled upon the exercise in full of the Rights in
accordance with the foregoing subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of this Section
11, or should the Board of Directors so elect, the Company shall: (A) determine
the excess of (1) the value of the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of a
Right (calculated as provided in the last sentence of this subparagraph (iii))
pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof (the "Current Value") over (2) the
aggregate Purchase Price that would be payable upon full exercise of a Right
(such excess, the "Spread"), and (B) with respect to each Right, make adequate
provision to substitute for such Common Stock, upon payment of the applicable
Purchase Price, any one or more of the following having an aggregate value
determined by the Board of Directors to be equal to the Current Value: (1) cash,
(2) a reduction in the Purchase Price, (3) Common Stock or other equity
securities of the Company (including, without limitation, shares, or units of
shares, of preferred stock which the Board of Directors of the Company has
determined to have the same value as shares of Common Stock (such shares of
preferred stock, "Common Stock Equivalents")), (4) debt securities of the
Company, (5) other assets , or any combination of the foregoing, having an
aggregate value equal to the Current Value, where such aggregate value has been
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company based upon the advice of an
investment banking firm selected by the Board of Directors of the Company;
provided, however, if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to
deliver value pursuant to clause (B) above within thirty (30) days following the
first occurrence of an event triggering the rights to purchase Common Stock
described in Section 11(a)(ii) (the "Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date"), then the
Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise of a
Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, shares of Common
Stock (to the extent available) and then, if necessary, cash, which shares and
cash have an aggregate value equal to the Spread. If the Board of Directors of
the Company shall determine in good faith that it is likely that sufficient
additional shares of Common Stock could be authorized for issuance upon exercise
in full of the Rights, the thirty (30) day period set forth above may be
extended to the extent necessary, but not more than ninety (90) days after the
Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date, in order that the Company may seek shareholder
approval for the authorization of such additional shares (such period, as it may
be extended, the "Substitution Period"). To the extent that the Company
determines that some action need be taken pursuant to the first and/or second
sentences of this Section 11(a)(iii), the Company (x) shall provide, subject to
the last paragraph of Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, that such action shall apply
uniformly to all outstanding Rights, and (y) may suspend the exercisability of
the Rights until the expiration of the Substitution Period in order to seek any
authorization of additional shares and/or to decide the appropriate form of
distribution to be made pursuant to such first sentence and to determine the
value thereof. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall make a
public announcement, and shall deliver to the Rights Agent a statement, stating
that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended. At such
time as the suspension is no longer in effect, the Company shall make another
public announcement, and deliver to the Rights Agent a statement so stating. For
purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii), the value of the Common Stock shall be the
current per share market price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i)
hereof) of the Common Stock on the Section 11(a)(ii) Trigger Date and the value
of any Common Stock Equivalent shall be deemed to have the same value as the
Common Stock on such date.

          (b) In the event that the Company shall fix a record date for the
issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Preferred Shares
entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such record
date) to subscribe for or purchase Preferred Shares (or shares having the same
rights, privileges and preferences as the Preferred Shares ("Equivalent
Preferred Shares")) or securities convertible into Preferred Shares or
Equivalent Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share or Equivalent
Preferred Share (or having a conversion price per share, if a security
convertible into Preferred Shares or Equivalent Preferred Shares) less than the
then current per share market price of the Preferred Shares (as defined in
Section 11(d)) on such record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect after
such record date shall be adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date plus the
number of Preferred Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total
number of Preferred Shares and/or Equivalent Preferred Shares so to be offered
(and/or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so
to be offered) would purchase at such current market price and the denominator
of which shall be the number of Preferred Shares outstanding on such record date
plus the number of additional Preferred Shares and/or Equivalent Preferred
Shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible
securities so to be offered are initially convertible); provided, however, that
in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be
less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock of the Company
issuable upon exercise of one Right. In case such subscription price may be paid
in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the
value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a statement
filed with the Rights Agent. Preferred Shares owned by or held for the account
of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such
computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record
date is fixed; and in the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so
issued, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which
would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

          (c) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a
distribution to all holders of the Preferred Shares (including any such
distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the
Company is the continuing or surviving corporation) of evidences of indebtedness
or assets (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend or a dividend payable in
Preferred Shares) or subscription rights or warrants (excluding those referred
to in Section 11(b) hereof), the Purchase Price to be in effect after such
record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the then current per share market price of the Preferred Shares on such
record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a
statement filed with the Rights Agent) of the portion of the assets or evidences
of indebtedness so to be distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants
applicable to one Preferred Share and the denominator of which shall be such
current per share market price of the Preferred Shares; provided, however, that
in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be
less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock of the Company
to be issued upon exercise of one Right. Such adjustments shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such
distribution is not so made, the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be
the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not
been fixed.

          (d) (i) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the "current per
share market price" of any security (a "Security" for the purpose of this
Section 11(d)(i)) on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily
closing prices per share of such Security for the 30 consecutive Trading Days
(as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date; provided,
however, that in the event that the current per share market price of the
Security is determined during a period following the announcement by the issuer
of such Security of (A) a dividend or distribution on such Security payable in
shares of such Security or securities convertible into such shares, or (B) any
subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Security and prior to the
expiration of 30 Trading Days after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or
distribution, or the record date for such subdivision, combination or
reclassification, then, and in each such case, the current per share market
price shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors to take into
account ex-dividend trading. The closing price for each day shall be the last
sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as
reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect
to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or,
if the Security is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock
Exchange, as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system
with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange
on which the Security is listed or admitted to trading or, if the Security is
not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last
sale price or, if such last sale price is not reported, the average of the high
bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by Nasdaq
or such other system then in use, or, if on any such date the Security is not
quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Security
selected by the Board of Directors of the Company. If on any such date no market
maker is making a market in the Security, the fair value of such shares on such
date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company shall
be used. The term "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the principal national
securities exchange on which the Security is listed or admitted to trading is
open for the transaction of business or, if the Security is not listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a Business Day.

                (ii) For the purpose of any computation hereunder, the "current
per share market price" of the Preferred Shares shall be determined in
accordance with the method set forth in Section 11(d)(i). If the Preferred
Shares are not publicly traded, the "current per share market price" of the
Preferred Shares shall be conclusively deemed to be the current per share market
price of the Common Stock as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)(i)
(appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or similar
transaction occurring after the date hereof), multiplied by 1,000. If neither
the shares of Common Stock nor the Preferred Shares are publicly held or so
listed or traded, "current per share market price" shall mean the fair value per
share as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company,
whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights
Agent.

          (e) No adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Purchase
Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section
11(e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 11
shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one ten-millionth of a
Preferred Share or one ten-thousandth of any other share or security as the case
may be. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11(e), any adjustment
required by this Section 11 shall be made no later than three years from the d
ate of the transaction which requires such adjustment.

          (f) If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a)
hereof, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to
receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than Preferred Shares,
the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Right shall
thereafter be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms
as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the
Preferred Shares contained in Section 11(a), (b),(c), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l),
(m) and (n) and the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10 and 13 with respect to the
Preferred Shares shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.

          (g) all Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any
adjustment made to the Purchase Price hereunder shall evidence the right to
purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, the number of one one-thousandths of a
Preferred Share purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the
Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

          (h) Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided
in Section 11(i), upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the
calculations made in Sections 11(b) and (c), each Right outstanding immediately
prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to
purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of one one-thousandths of
a Preferred Share (calculated to the nearest one ten-millionth of a Preferred
Share) obtained by (i) multiplying (x) the number of one one-thousandths of a
share covered by a Right immediately prior to this adjustment by (y) the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase
Price and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price.

          (i) The Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of
the Purchase Price to adjust the number of Rights in substitution for any
adjustment in the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share purchasable
upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after such
adjustment of the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right was exercisable
immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such
adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number of Rights
(calculated to the nearest one hundred-thousandth) obtained by dividing the
Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Purchase Price
by the Purchase Price in effect immediately after adjustment of the Purchase
Price. The Company shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust
the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if
known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may
be the date on which the Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but,
if the Right Certificates have been distributed, shall be at least 10 days later
than the date of the public announcement. If Right Certificates have been
distributed, upon each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this
Section 11(i), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be
distributed to holders of record of Right Certificates on such record date Right
Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 14 hereof, the additional Rights to
which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the
option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record
in substitution and replacement for the Right Certificates held by such holders
prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the
Company, new Right Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders
shall be entitled after such adjustment. Right Certificates to be so distributed
shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner provided for herein
and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of Right
Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement.

          (j) Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or
the number of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share issuable upon the
exercise of the Rights, the Right Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued
may continue to express the Purchase Price and the number of one one-thousandths
of a Preferred Share which were expressed in the initial Right Certificates
issued hereunder.

          (k) Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing
the Purchase Price below one one-thousandth of the then par value of the
Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights, the Company shall take
any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in
order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
non-assessable Preferred Shares at such adjusted Purchase Price.

          (l) In any case in which this Section 11 shall require that an
adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a
specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such
event the issuing to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date of
the Preferred Shares and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if
any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Preferred Shares and other
capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise
on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided,
however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other
appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional
shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

          (m) Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in
addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to
the extent that it in its sole discretion shall determine to be advisable in
order that any (i) combination or subdivision of the Preferred Shares, (ii)
issuance wholly for cash of any Preferred Shares at less than the current market
price, (iii) issuance wholly for cash of Preferred Shares or securities which by
their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Shares, (iv)
dividends on Preferred Shares payable in Preferred Shares or (v) issuance of any
rights, options or warrants referred to hereinabove in Section 11(b), hereafter
made by the Company to holders of its Preferred Shares shall not be taxable to
such stockholders.

          (n) In the event that the Company shall at any time after the date of
this Agreement (A) declare a dividend on the Common Stock payable in Common
Stock shares, (B) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, (C) combine the
outstanding Common Stock (by reverse stock split or otherwise) into a smaller
number of Common Stock shares, or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
or surviving corporation), then, in each such event: (1) each share of Common
Stock (or shares of capital stock issued in such reclassification of the Common
Stock) outstanding immediately following such time shall have associated with it
the number of Rights as were associated with one share of Common Stock
immediately prior to the occurrence of the event described in clauses (A)-(D)
above; (2) the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record date for such
dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification shall be adjusted so that the Purchase Price thereafter shall
equal the result obtained by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such time by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
event described in clauses (A)-(D) above, and the denominator of which shall be
the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event; provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be paid
upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the
shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of such Right; and
(3) the number of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share (or shares of such
other capital stock) issuable upon the exercise of each Right outstanding after
such event shall equal the number of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share (or
shares of such other capital stock) as were issuable with respect to one Right
immediately prior to such event. Each share of Common Stock that shall become
outstanding after an adjustment has been made pursuant to this Section 11(n)
shall have associated with it the number of Rights, exercisable at the Purchase
Price and for the number of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share (or shares
of such other capital stock) as one share of Common Stock has associated with it
immediately following the adjustment made pursuant to this Section 11(n). If an
event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(n) and
Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, the adjustment provided for in this Section 11(n)
shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required
pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) hereof.

        Section 12. Certificate of Adjustment.
        --------------------------------------

          Whenever an adjustment is made as provided in Section 11 or 13 hereof,
the Company shall promptly (a) prepare a certificate setting forth such
adjustment, and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment,
(b) file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock
or the Preferred Shares a copy of such certificate and (c) mail a brief summary
thereof to each holder of a Right Certificate in accordance with Section 24
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by the Company to
make such certification or give such notice shall not affect the validity of or
the force or effect of the requirement for such adjustment. The Rights Agent
shall be fully protected in relying on any such certificate and on any
adjustment therein contained.

        Section 13. Consolidation, Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
     or Earning Power.
     ----------------

             In the event that, at any time after a Person becomes an
Acquiring Person, directly or indirectly, (i) the Company shall consolidate
with, or merge with and into, any other Person, (ii) any Person shall
consolidate with the Company, or merge with and into the Company and the Company
shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such merger and, in
connection with such merger, all or part of the shares of Common Stock shall be
changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person (or
the Company) or cash or any other property, or (iii) the Company shall sell or
otherwise transfer (or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise
transfer), in one or more transactions, assets or earning power aggregating 50%
or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries
(taken as a whole) to any other Person other than the Company or one or more of
its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, then, and in each such case, proper provision
shall be made so that (A) each holder of a Right (except as otherwise provided
herein) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at
a price equal to the then current Purchase Price multiplied by the number of one
one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then exercisable, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and in lieu of Preferred Shares,
such number of shares of Common Stock of such other Person (including the
Company as successor thereto or as the surviving corporation) as shall equal the
result obtained by (x) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number
of one one-thousandths of a Preferred Share for which a Right is then
exercisable and dividing that product by (y) 50% of the then current per share
market price of the Common Stock of such other Person (determined pursuant to
Section 11(d) hereof) on the date of consummation of such consolidation, merger,
sale or transfer; (B) the issuer of such Common Stock shall thereafter be liable
for, and shall assume, by virtue of such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer, all the obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this
Agreement; (C) the term "Company" shall thereafter be deemed to refer to such
issuer; and (D) such issuer shall take such steps (including, but not limited
to, the reservation of a sufficient number of its shares of Common Stock in
accordance with Section 9 hereof) in connection with such consummation as may be
necessary to assure that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable,
as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to the Common Stock thereafter
deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights. The Company covenants and agrees
that it shall not consummate any such consolidation merger, sale or transfer
unless prior thereto the Company and such issuer shall have executed and
delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement so providing. The Company
shall not enter into any transaction of the kind referred to in this Section 13
if at the time of such transaction there are any rights, warrants, instruments
or securities outstanding or any agreements or arrangements which, as a result
of the consummation of such transaction, would eliminate or substantially
diminish the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. The provisions of
this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations or
sales or other transfers. For purposes hereof, the "earning power" of the
Company and its Subsidiaries shall be determined in good faith by the Company's
Board of Directors on the basis of the operating earnings of each business
operated by the Company and its Subsidiaries during the three fiscal years
preceding the date of such determination (or, in the case of any business not
operated by the Company or any Subsidiary during three full fiscal years
preceding such date, during the period such business was operated by the Company
or any Subsidiary).

        Section 14. Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares.
        ----------------------------------------------------

          (a) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or
to distribute Right Certificates which evidence fractional Rights. In lieu of
such fractional Rights, there shall be paid to the registered holders of the
Right Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would otherwise
be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market
value of a whole Right. For the purposes of this Section 14(a), the current
market value of a whole Right shall be the closing price of the Rights for the
Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which such fractional Rights would
have been otherwise issuable. The closing price for such Trading Day shall be
determined in accordance with the method set forth in Section 11(d)(i).

          (b) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Preferred
Shares (other than fractions which are integral multiples of one one-thousandth
of a Preferred Share) upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates
which evidence fractional Preferred Shares (other than fractions which are
integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share). Fractions of
Preferred Shares in integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred
Share may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by depository receipts,
pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the Company and a depository
selected by it; provided, that such agreement shall provide that the holders of
such depository receipts shall have all the rights, privileges and preferences
to which they are entitled as beneficial owners of the Preferred Shares
represented by such depository receipts. In lieu of fractional Preferred Shares
that are not integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, the
Company shall pay to each registered holder of Right Certificates at the time
such Rights are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same
fraction of the current market value of one Preferred Share as the fraction of
one Preferred Share that such holder would otherwise receive upon the exercise
of the aggregate number of rights exercised by such holder. For the purposes of
this Section 14(b), the current market value of a Preferred Share shall be the
closing price of a Preferred Share (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)
hereof) for the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of such exercise

          (c) The holder of a Right by the acceptance of the Right expressly
waives any right to receive fractional Rights or fractional shares upon exercise
of a Right (except as provided above).

        Section 15. Rights of Action.
        -----------------------------

          All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, excepting the
rights of action given to the Rights Agent under Section 18 hereof, are vested
in the respective registered holders of the Right Certificates (and, prior to
the Distribution Date, the registered holders of the Common Stock); and any
registered holder of any Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date,
of the Common Stock) may, without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the
holder of any other Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of
the Common Stock), on his own behalf and for his own benefit, enforce, and may
institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company to
enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, his right to exercise the Rights
evidenced by such Right Certificate in the manner provided in such Right
Certificate and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any
remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged
that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any
breach of this Agreement and will be entitled to specific performance of the
obligations under, and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations
of the obligations of any Person subject to, this Agreement.

        Section 16. Agreement of Right Holders.
        ---------------------------------------

          Every holder of a Right, by accepting the same, consents and agrees
with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right
that:

          (a) prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable
only in connection with the transfer of the Common Stock;

          (b) after the Distribution Date, the Right Certificates are
transferable only on the registry books maintained by the Rights Agent if
surrendered at the principal office of the Rights Agent, duly endorsed or
accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer with a completed form of
certification; and

          (c) the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the person in
whose name the Right Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, the
associated Common Stock certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof
and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership
or writing on the Right Certificates or the associated Common Stock certificate
made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.

        Section 17. Right Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder.
        --------------------------------------------------------------

          No holder, as such, of any Right Certificate shall be entitled to
vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Preferred
Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable
on the exercise of the Rights represented thereby nor shall anything contained
herein or in any Right Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any
Right Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or
any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to
shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any
corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting
shareholders (except as provided in Section 24 hereof), or to receive dividends
or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Right or Rights evidenced by
such Right Certificate shall have been exercised in accordance with the
provisions hereof.

        Section 18. Concerning the Rights Agent.
        ---------------------------------------

          (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time,
on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and
other disbursements incurred in the administration and execution of this
Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Company
also agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against,
any loss, liability, or expense, incurred without negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for anything done or omitted
by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of this
Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim or
liability in connection therewith.

          (b) The Rights Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability
for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection
with its administration of this Agreement in reliance upon any Right Certificate
or certificate for Preferred Shares or for other securities of the Company,
instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit,
letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where
necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or Persons.

        Section 19. Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent.
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------

          (a) Any corporation into which the Rights Agent or any successor
Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent
or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to
the corporate trust business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent,
shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment
as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21 hereof. In case
at the time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by
this Agreement, any of the Right Certificates shall have been countersigned but
not delivered, any such successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of
the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Right Certificates so
countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Right Certificates shall not
have been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may countersign such Right
Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name
of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such Right Certificates
shall have the full force provided in the Right Certificates and in this
Agreement.

          (b) In case at any time the name of the Rights Agent shall be changed
and at such time any of the Right Certificates shall have been countersigned but
not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior
name and deliver Right Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time
any of the Right Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Rights
Agent may countersign such Right Certificates either in its prior name or in its
changed name; and in all such cases such Right Certificates shall have the full
force provided in the Right Certificates and in this Agreement.

        Section 20. Duties of Rights Agent.
        ----------------------------------

          The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations expressly set
forth in this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent shall perform those
duties and obligations upon the following terms and conditions, by all of which
the Company and the holders of Right Certificates, by their acceptance thereof,
shall be bound:

          (a) The Rights Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal
counsel for the Company), and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken
or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

          (b) Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the
Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be
proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action
hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be
herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by a certificate signed by any one of the Chairman of the Board, the
President, a Vice President, the Treasurer or the Secretary of the Company and
delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be full authorization
to the Rights Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under
the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate.

          (c) The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

          (d) The Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of
the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Right
Certificates (except as to its countersignature thereof) or be required to
verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to
have been made by the Company only.

          (e) The Rights Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect
of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except
the due execution hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or
execution of any Right Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor
shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or
condition contained in this Agreement or in any Right Certificate; nor shall it
be responsible for any adjustment required under the provisions of Section 11 or
13 hereof or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment
or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such
adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights evidenced by Right
Certificates after actual notice of any such adjustment); nor shall it by any
act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the
authorization or reservation of any shares of Preferred Shares to be issued
pursuant to this Agreement or any Right Certificate or as to whether any
Preferred Shares will, when so issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.

          (f) The Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and
deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such
further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required
by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of
the provisions of this Agreement.

          (g) The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept
instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any
one of the Chairman of the Board, the President, a Vice President, the Secretary
or the Treasurer of the Company, and to apply to such officers for advice or
instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any
action taken or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
instructions of any such officer.

          (h) The Rights Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or
employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other
securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in
which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the
Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent
under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting
in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.

          (i) The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or
powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or
through its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or
accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or
agents or for any loss to the Company resulting from any such act, default,
neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection
and continued employment thereof.

        Section 21. Change of Rights Agent.
        ----------------------------------

          The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be
discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 30 days' notice in writing
mailed to the Company and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock and the
Preferred Shares by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the
Right Certificates by first-class mail. The Company may remove the Rights Agent
or any successor Rights Agent upon 30 days' notice in writing, mailed to the
Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer
agent of the Common Stock and the Preferred Shares by registered or certified
mail, and to the holders of the Right Certificates by first-class mail. If the
Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of
acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the
Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after
giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such
resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by
the holder of a Right Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit his Right
Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the registered holder of any
Right Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed
by the Company or by such a court, shall be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United
States, in good standing, which is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust or stockholder services powers and is subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and which has at the time of its
appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $100
million. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the
same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally
named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights
Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at
the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance,
conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective
date of any such appointment the Company shall file notice thereof in writing
with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Stock
and the Preferred Shares, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the registered
holders of the Right Certificates. Failure to give any notice provided for in
this Section 21, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality
or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment
of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

        Section 22. Issuance of New Right Certificates.
        ----------------------------------------------

          Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the
Rights to the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Right
Certificates evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by its Board of
Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price and the
number or kind or class of shares or other securities or property purchasable
under the Rights made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In
addition, in connection with the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock
following the Distribution Date and prior to the Final Expiration Date, the
Company (a) shall, with respect to shares of Common Stock so issued or sold
pursuant to the exercise of stock options or under any employee benefit plan or
arrangement or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities of the
Company currently outstanding or issued at any time in the future by the Company
and (b) may, in any other case, if deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board
of Directors of the Company, issue Rights Certificates representing the
appropriate number of Rights in connection with such issuance or sale; provided,
however, that (i) no such Rights Certificate shall be issued and this sentence
shall be null and void ab initio if, and to the extent that, such issuance or
this sentence would create a significant risk of or result in material adverse
tax consequences to the Company or the Person to whom such Rights Certificate
would be issued or would create a significant risk of or result in such options'
or employee plans' or arrangements' failing to qualify for otherwise available
special tax treatment and (ii) no such Rights Certificate shall be issued if,
and to the extent that, appropriate adjustment shall otherwise have been made in
lieu of the issuance thereof.

        Section 23. Redemption.
        ----------------------

          (a) The Board of Directors of the Company may, at its option, at any
time prior to the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth calendar
date following the Shares Acquisition Date, or (ii) the Final Expiration Date,
redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Rights at a redemption
price of $0.001 per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split,
stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date hereof (such
redemption price being hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption Price"). The
redemption of the Rights by the Board of Directors may be made effective at such
time, on such basis and subject to such conditions as the Board of Directors in
its sole discretion may establish.

          (b) Immediately upon the time of the effectiveness of the redemption
of the Rights pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 23 or such earlier time
as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in the action
ordering such redemption (although not earlier than the time of such action)
(such time the "Redemption Date"), and without any further action and without
any notice, the right to exercise the Rights shall terminate and the only right
thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price.
The Company shall promptly give public notice of any such redemption; provided,
however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, any such notice shall not
affect the validity of such redemption. Within 10 days after such action of the
Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights pursuant to paragraph
(a), the Company shall mail a notice of redemption to all the holders of the
then outstanding Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry
books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on the registry
books of the transfer agent for the Common Stock. Any notice which is mailed in
the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder
receives the notice. If the payment of the Redemption Price is not included with
such notice, each such notice shall state the method by which the payment of the
Redemption Price will be made. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or
Associates may redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at any time in
any manner other than that specifically set forth in this Section 23, other than
in connection with the purchase of Common Stock.

        Section 24. Notice of Certain Events.
        ------------------------------------

          (a) In case the Company shall after the Distribution Date propose (i)
to pay any dividend payable in stock of any class to the holders of its
Preferred Shares or to make any other distribution to the holders of its
Preferred Shares (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend), (ii) to offer
to the holders of its Preferred Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or to
purchase any additional Preferred Shares or shares of stock of any class or any
other securities, rights or options, (iii) to effect any reclassification of its
Preferred Shares (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision
of outstanding Preferred Shares), (iv) to effect any consolidation or merger
into or with, or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to permit one or more
of its Subsidiaries to effect any sale or other transfer), in one or more
transactions, of 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and
its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to, any other Person, (v) to effect the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or (vi) to declare or pay
any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or to effect
a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise than by payment of dividends in shares of Common
Stock), then, in each such case, the Company shall give to each holder of a
Right Certificate, in accordance with Section 25 hereof, a notice of such
proposed action, which shall specify the record date for the purposes of such
stock dividend, or distribution of rights or warrants, or the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of participation
therein by the holders of the Common Stock and/or Preferred Shares, if any such
date is to be fixed, and such notice shall be so given in the case of any action
covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at least 10 days prior to the record date
for determining holders of the Preferred Shares for purposes of such action, and
in the case of any such other action, at least 10 days prior to the date of the
taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the
holders of the Common Stock and/or Preferred Shares, whichever shall be the
earlier.

          (b) In case any event set forth in Section 11(a)(ii) hereof shall
occur, then the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter give to each
holder of a Right Certificate, in accordance with Section 25 hereof, a notice of
the occurrence of such event, which notice shall describe such event and the
consequences of such event to holders of Rights under Section 11(a)(ii) hereof.

        Section 25. Notices.
