                     CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON (USA), INC.
                                MEDIUM-TERM NOTES
                   DUE NINE MONTHS OR MORE FROM DATE OF ISSUE

                           CALCULATION AGENT AGREEMENT

                  THIS AGREEMENT dated as of June 29, 2001, between Credit
Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), having
its principal office at Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010, and The
Chase Manhattan Bank (hereinafter sometimes called the "Calculation Agent,"
which term shall, unless the context shall otherwise require, include its
successors and assigns), having its principal corporate trust office at 450 West
33rd Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10001.

                  WHEREAS, the Issuer proposes to issue from time to time
Medium-Term Notes (the "Notes") to be issued pursuant to the provisions of a
senior debt indenture dated as of June 1, 2001 (as it may be supplemented or
amended from time to time, the "Indenture") between the Issuer and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used in this
Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Indenture.
Certain of the Notes may bear interest at a floating rate determined by
reference to an interest rate formula or may be in the form of fixed rate notes
that bear an interest rate determined by reference to an interest rate formula
(collectively, the "Floating Rate Notes"), and the Issuer desires to engage the
Calculation Agent to perform certain services in connection therewith.

                  NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT:

                  1. The Issuer hereby appoints The Chase Manhattan Bank as
Calculation Agent for the Floating Rate Notes, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions herein set forth, and The Chase Manhattan Bank hereby accepts such
appointment. The Calculation Agent shall act as an agent of the Issuer for the
purpose of determining the interest rate or rates of the Floating Rate Notes.

                  2. The Issuer agrees to deliver to the Calculation Agent,
prior to the issuance of any Floating Rate Notes, copies of the proposed forms
of such Notes, including copies of all terms and conditions relating to the
determination of the interest rates thereunder. The Issuer shall not issue any
Floating Rate Note prior to the receipt of confirmation from the Calculation
Agent of its acceptance of the proposed form of such Note. The Calculation Agent
hereby acknowledges its acceptance of the proposed forms of Floating Rate Notes
previously delivered to it.

                  3. The Issuer shall notify the Calculation Agent of the
issuance of any Floating Rate Notes (other than the Floating Rate Notes in the
form previously delivered to the Calculation Agent) prior to the issuance
thereof and, at the time of such issuance, shall deliver to the Calculation
Agent all information in the possession of the Issuer for the calculation of the
<Page>

applicable interest rates thereunder. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the
applicable interest rates for Floating Rate Notes in accordance with the terms
of such Floating Rate Notes, the Indenture and the provisions of this Agreement.
In addition, the Calculation Agent shall maintain, or cause to be maintained,
records permitting it to calculate the applicable interest rate as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined in the Floating Rate Notes)
in case the applicable rates which are to be published, publicly announced or
displayed on the applicable Calculation Date (as defined in the Floating Rate
Notes) are not available on such Calculation Date.

                  4. Promptly following the determination of each change to the
interest rate or the determination of the interest rate (for fixed rate notes
that bear an interest rate determined by reference to an interest rate formula)
applicable to any Floating Rate Note, the Calculation Agent will cause to be
forwarded to the Issuer, the Trustee and any paying agent for such Note
information regarding the interest rate then in effect for such Floating Rate
Note.

                  5. The Issuer will pay such compensation as is set forth in
that certain letter dated June 1, 2001 from the Calculation Agent to the Issuer
and the expenses, including reasonable counsel's and other professionals' fees,
incurred by the Calculation Agent in connection with its duties hereunder to the
Calculation Agent upon receipt of such invoices as the Issuer shall reasonably
require.

                  6. Notwithstanding any satisfaction or discharge of the Notes
or the Indenture, the Issuer will indemnify the Calculation Agent against any
losses, liabilities, costs, claims, actions or demands which it may incur or
sustain or which may be made against it in connection with its appointment or
the exercise of its powers and duties hereunder as well as the reasonable costs,
including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel in defending any claim, action
or demand, except such as may result from the negligence or willful misconduct
of the Calculation Agent or any of its employees. The Calculation Agent shall
incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer for,
or in respect of, any actions taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the
Calculation Agent in reliance upon (i) the written opinion or advice of counsel
or other professional advisers satisfactory to it or (ii) written instructions
from the Issuer. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any error
resulting from the use of or reliance on a source of information used in good
faith and with due care to calculate any interest rate hereunder. The provisions
of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

                  7. The Calculation Agent accepts its obligations herein set
forth upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the following, to all of
which the Issuer agrees:

                     (i)  in acting under this Agreement and in connection with
the Notes, the Calculation Agent, acting as agent for the Issuer, does not
assume any obligation towards, or any relationship of agency or trust for or
with, any of the holders of the Notes;

                     (ii)  unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any
order, certificate, notice, request or communication from the Issuer made or
given under any provision of this Agreement shall be sufficient if signed or
given by any person whom the Calculation Agent reasonably believes to be a duly
authorized officer or attorney-in-fact of the Issuer;

                                       2
<Page>

                     (iii) the Calculation Agent shall be obligated to perform
only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and any duties necessarily
incidental thereto;

                     (iv)  the Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall
incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken
or anything suffered in good faith by it in reliance upon anything contained in
a Floating Rate Note, the Indenture or any information supplied to it by the
Issuer pursuant to this Agreement, including the information to be supplied
pursuant to paragraph 3 above.

                     (v)   the Calculation Agent, whether acting for itself or
in any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same
rights as it would have had if it were not acting hereunder as Calculation
Agent; and

                     (vi)  the Calculation Agent shall incur no liability
hereunder except for loss sustained by reason of its own negligence or willful
misconduct.

                  8. (a) The Issuer agrees to notify the Calculation Agent at
least 30 days prior to the first issuance of any Floating Rate Note (other than
the Floating Rate Notes in the form previously delivered to the Calculation
Agent) with an interest rate to be determined by reference to any other formula
that would require the Calculation Agent to select banks, dealers or other
financial institutions (the "Reference Banks") for purposes of quoting rates.
Promptly thereafter, the Calculation Agent will notify the Issuer and the
Trustee of the names and addresses of such Reference Banks. Forthwith upon any
change in the identity of any Reference Bank, the Calculation Agent shall notify
the Issuer and the Trustee of such change. The Calculation Agent shall not be
responsible to the Issuer or any third party for any failure of any Reference
Bank to fulfill its duties or meet its obligations as a Reference Bank or as a
result of the Calculation Agent's having acted (except in the event of
negligence or willful misconduct) on any quotation or other information given by
any Reference Bank that subsequently may be found to be incorrect.

                  (b) Except as provided below, the Calculation Agent may at any
time resign as Calculation Agent by giving written notice to the Issuer and the
Trustee of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired
resignation shall become effective, provided that such notice shall be given not
less than 30 days prior to the said effective date unless the Issuer and the
Trustee otherwise agree in writing; provided, however, if the Calculation Agent
has given not less than 30 days' prior notice of its desired resignation, and
during such 30 days a successor Calculation Agent has not accepted its
appointment as successor Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent so resigning
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Calculation Agent. The Issuer covenants that it shall appoint a
successor Calculation Agent as soon as practicable after receipt of any notice
of resignation hereunder.

                  Except as provided below, the Calculation Agent may be removed
by the filing with it and the Trustee of an instrument in writing signed by the
Issuer specifying such removal and the date it shall become effective (such
effective date being at least 30 days after said filing) provided, however, that
if a successor Calculation Agent has not accepted its appointment as successor
Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent so removed may petition a court of

                                       3
<Page>

competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent. Any
such resignation or removal shall take effect upon:

                     (i)  the appointment by the Issuer as provided herein of a
                     successor Calculation Agent; and

                     (ii)  the acceptance of such appointment by such successor
                     Calculation Agent.

                  Upon its resignation or removal becoming effective, the
retiring Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the payment of its compensation
and the reimbursement of all expenses (including reasonable counsel and other
professionals' fees) incurred by such retiring Calculation Agent pursuant to
paragraph 5 hereof.

                  (c) If at any time the Calculation Agent shall resign or be
removed, or shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or liquidated or dissolved, or an order is made or an effective
resolution is passed to wind up the Calculation Agent, or if the Calculation
Agent shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or make an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver,
administrator or other similar official of all or any substantial part of its
property, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay or meet its debts as
they mature, or if a receiver, administrator or other similar official of the
Calculation Agent or of all or any substantial part of its property shall be
appointed, or if any order of any court shall be entered approving any petition
filed by or against the Calculation Agent under the provisions of any applicable
bankruptcy or insolvency law, or if any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Calculation Agent or its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then a successor Calculation Agent
shall be appointed by the Issuer by an instrument in writing filed with the
successor Calculation Agent and the Trustee. Upon the appointment as aforesaid
of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by the latter of such
appointment, the former Calculation Agent shall cease to be Calculation Agent
hereunder.

                  (d) Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall
execute and deliver to its predecessor, the Issuer and the Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation
Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
the authority, rights, powers, immunities, duties and obligations of such
predecessor with like effect as if originally named as the Calculation Agent
hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its compensation, charges and
disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged to transfer and
deliver, and such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive,
copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Calculation Agent.

                  (e) Any corporation or other entity into which the Calculation
Agent may be merged or converted or any corporation or other entity with which
the Calculation Agent may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Calculation Agent shall sell or
otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets or business shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Calculation Agent under
this Agreement without the execution or filing or any paper or any further act
on the part

                                       4
<Page>

of any of the parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, conversation,
consolidation or sale shall forthwith be given to the Issuer and the Trustee.

                  (f) The provision of paragraph 6 hereof shall survive any
resignation or removal of the Calculation Agent hereunder.

                  9.  Any notice required to be given hereunder shall be
delivered in person, sent by letter or facsimile or communicated by telephone

      THIS AGREEMENT dated as of ______________ between CREDIT SUISSE FIRST
BOSTON (USA), INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Delaware (the "Company"), and ____________________, a [bank] [trust
company] duly incorporated and existing under the laws of __________________, as
Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent"),

                            W I T N E S S E T H :

      WHEREAS, the Company has entered into a senior indenture dated as of
June 1, 2001 (the "Senior Indenture") between the Company and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the "Senior Indenture Trustee") and a subordinated
indenture dated as of ___________ (the "Subordinated Indenture" and together
with the Senior Indenture, "Indentures" or "Indenture") between the Company and
The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the "Subordinated Indenture Trustee" and
together with the Senior Indenture Trustee, the "Trustee"), providing for the
issuance from time to time of its unsecured debt securities to be issued in one
or more series as provided in the Indenture; and

      WHEREAS, the Company proposes to sell [Title of such debt securities being
offered] (the "Offered Securities") with one or more warrants (the "Warrants")
representing the right to purchase [title of such debt securities purchasable
through exercise of Warrants] (the "Warrant Securities"), the Warrants to be
evidenced by Warrant certificates issued pursuant to this Agreement (the
"Warrant Certificates"); and

      WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange, exercise and
replacement of the Warrant Certificates, and in this Agreement wishes to set
forth, among other things, the form[s] and provisions of the Warrant
Certificates and the terms and conditions on which they may be issued,
transferred, exchanged, exercised and replaced;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   Article 1

   ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS [AND TEMPORARY GLOBAL SECURITY] AND EXECUTION AND
                        DELIVERY OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

            Section 1.01. ISSUANCE OF WARRANTS. The Warrants shall be evidenced
by one or more Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant evidenced thereby shall
represent the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and therein, to
purchase a Warrant Security in the principal amount of and shall be initially
issued in connection with the issuance of the Offered Securities [and shall be
separately transferable immediately thereafter] [but shall not be separately
transferable until on and after __________, 20__ (the "Detachable Date")]. The
Warrants shall be initially issued with the Offered Securities, and each Warrant
shall evidence the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and in the
Warrant Certificates, to purchase [_______] principal amount of Warrant
Securities.
<Page>

            Section 1.02. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. Each
Warrant, whenever issued, shall be evidenced by a Warrant Certificate in
registered form [or a global Warrant Certificate in bearer form (the "Global
Warrant Certificate")] [the form to be the same as that of the Warrant Security
in connection with which the Warrant Certificate is issued], substantially in
the form[s] set forth in Exhibit A [and Exhibit B, respectively,] hereto, shall
be dated ___________ and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of
identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed,
lithographed or engraved thereon as the officers of the Company executing the
same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval)
and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the
Warrants may be listed, or to conform to usage. The chairman of the board of
directors, the chief executive officer, the president, the chief financial
officer, the chief administrative officer, the chief accounting officer or any
Managing Director and the treasurer or any assistant treasurer or the secretary
or any assistant secretary shall execute the Warrant Certificates for the
Company by facsimile or manual signature in the name and on behalf of the
Company. The seal of the Company, if any, shall be reproduced on the Warrant
Certificates. If an officer whose signature is on a Warrant Certificate no
longer holds that office at the time the Warrant Certificate is authenticated,
the Warrant Certificate shall nevertheless be valid.

      No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant
evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been
countersigned by the Warrant Agent by manual signature. Such signature by the
Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Warrant Certificate so
countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.

      [The Global Warrant Certificate shall be and remain subject to the
provisions of this Agreement until such time as all of the Warrants evidenced
thereby shall have been duly exercised or shall have expired or been cancelled
in accordance with the terms thereof.]

      In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Warrant Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be
such officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been
countersigned and delivered by the Warrant Agent as provided herein, such
Warrant Certificates may be countersigned and delivered notwithstanding that the
person who signed such Warrant Certificates ceased to be such officer of the
Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by
such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant
Certificate, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date
of the execution of this Agreement any such person was not such officer.

      The term "Holder", when used with respect to any Warrant Certificate [in
registered form], shall mean any person in whose name at the time such Warrant
Certificate shall be registered upon the books to be maintained by the Warrant
Agent for that purpose [or, prior to the Detachable Date, any person in whose
name at the time the Offered Security to which such Warrant Certificate is

make available at all times to the Warrant Agent such information as to holders
of the Offered Securities with Warrants as may be necessary to keep the Warrant
Agent's records up to date.]

      [The term "Holder", when used with respect to the Global Warrant
Certificate, shall mean [prior to the Detachable Date, the bearer of the
Temporary Global Security (as defined in Section 1.04) evidencing the Offered
Securities to which the Warrants evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate
were initially attached and, after the Detachable Date,] the bearer of the
Global Warrant Certificate.]

evidencing the right to purchase an aggregate principal amount not exceeding
______ aggregate principal amount of Warrant Securities (except as provided in
Sections 2.03, 3.02 and 4.01) may be executed by the Company and delivered to

time thereafter. The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of Warrant Certificates
duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign Warrant Certificates
evidencing _______ Warrants representing the right to purchase up to ______

Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office (or any successor),
as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"), and for
Clearstream Banking societe anonyme ("Clearstream") for credit to the accounts
of persons appearing from time to time on the records of the Euroclear Operator
or of Clearstream as being entitled to any portion thereof. [The Temporary
Global Security [, as defined in Section 1.04,] will at the same time be
deposited with the Common Depositary.] [The Global Warrant Certificate shall be
held by the Common Depositary outside the United Kingdom.]] Subsequent to such
original issuance of the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall
countersign a Warrant Certificate only if the Warrant Certificate is issued in
exchange or substitution for one or more previously countersigned Warrant
Certificates or[, with respect to Warrant Certificates in registered form,] in
connection with their transfer as hereinafter provided or as provided in the
antepenultimate paragraph of Section 2.03].

      Pending the preparation of definitive Warrant Certificates [in registered
form] evidencing Warrants, the Company may execute and the Warrant Agent shall
countersign and deliver temporary Warrant Certificates [in registered form]
evidencing such Warrants (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise
produced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent). Such
temporary Warrant Certificates shall be issuable substantially in the form of
the definitive Warrant Certificates [in registered form] but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Warrant
Certificates, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of
the Warrant Agent. Such temporary Warrant Certificates may contain such
reference to any provisions of this Warrant Agreement as may be appropriate.
Every such temporary Warrant Certificate shall be executed by the Company and
shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent upon the same conditions and in
substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Warrant
Certificates [in registered form]. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
execute and shall furnish definitive Warrant Certificates [in registered form]
and thereupon such temporary Warrant Certificates may be surrendered in

                                       3

exchange therefor without charge pursuant to and subject to the provisions of
Section 4.01, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange
for such temporary Warrant Certificates definitive Warrant Certificates [in
registered form] of authorized denominations evidencing a like aggregate number
of Warrants evidenced by such temporary Warrant Certificates. Until so
exchanged, such temporary Warrant Certificates shall be entitled to the same
benefits under this Warrant Agreement as definitive Warrant Certificates [in
registered form].

            [Section 1.04. Temporary Global Security. Prior to the Detachable
Date, each Offered Security to be issued with Warrants evidenced by the Global
Warrant Certificate shall, whenever issued, be evidenced by a single temporary
global Offered Security in bearer form without interest coupons (the "Temporary
Global Security") to be issued by the Company as provided in the Indenture.]

may designate by notice to the Warrant Agent and the Holders of Warrant
Certificates [in registered form and to the beneficial owners of the Global
Warrant Certificate] (the "Expiration Date"). Each Warrant not exercised at or
before [time, location] on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights
of the Holder [and any beneficial owners] of the Warrant Certificate evidencing
such Warrant under this Agreement shall cease.

            Section 2.03. EXERCISE OF WARRANTS. [During] [With respect to

Certificates evidencing such Warrants and by paying in full [in lawful money of

[by bank wire transfer] [in immediately available funds,] the Warrant Price for
each Warrant exercised (plus accrued interest, if any, on the Warrant Securities
to be issued upon exercise of such Warrant from and including the Interest
Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture), if any, in respect of such Warrant
Securities immediately preceding the Exercise Date to and including the Exercise
Date (unless the Exercise Date is after the Regular Record Date (as defined in
the Indenture), if any, for such Interest Payment Date, but on or before the
immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date for such Warrant Securities, in
which event no such accrued interest shall be payable in respect of Warrant
Securities to be issued in registered form)) to the Warrant Agent at its
corporate trust office at [address] [or at _________], provided that such
exercise is subject to receipt within five business days of such [payment] [wire
transfer] by the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Certificate evidencing each
Warrant exercised with the form of election to purchase Warrant Securities set
forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly
executed.

      [With respect to Warrants evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate,
during the period specified in Section 2.02, any whole number of Warrants may be
exercised by the Holder by presentation to the Warrant Agent at its office at
[address located outside the United States [and the United Kingdom]], at or
prior to [time], on any day on which the Warrants are exercisable, of (i) the
Global Warrant Certificate [together with, if prior to the Detachable Date, the
Temporary Global Security] (or written confirmation reasonably satisfactory to
the Warrant Agent that the Global Warrant Certificate [is] [and, if prior to the
Detachable Date, the Temporary Global Security are] held by the Euroclear
Operator and Clearstream and will be duly endorsed to reflect the exercise of
Warrants [and, if prior to the Detachable Date, the surrender to the Warrant
Agent of the Offered Securities to which the Warrants are attached] by the
Euroclear Operator and Clearstream), (ii) a duly executed certification from the
Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as the case may be, substantially in the form
set forth in Exhibit C hereto and (iii) payment in full [in lawful money of the
United States of America] [in applicable currency] [in cash] [by certified check
or official bank check or by bank wire transfer, in each case,] [by bank wire
transfer] [in immediately available funds,] of the Warrant Price for each
Warrant exercised (plus accrued interest, if any, on the Warrant Securities to
be issued upon exercise of such Warrant from and including the Interest Payment
Date, if any, in respect of such Warrant Securities immediately preceding the
Exercise Date to and including the Exercise Date (unless the Exercise Date is
after the Regular Record Date, if any, for such Interest Payment Date, but on or
before the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date for such Warrant
Securities, in which event no such accrued interest shall be payable in respect
of Warrant Securities to be issued in registered form)). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Holder may exercise Warrants as aforesaid on the Expiration Date
at any time prior to [time] in [city of Warrant Agent's office]. Any Warrants
exercised as set forth in this paragraph shall be deemed exercised at the
[country] office of the Warrant Agent.]

      [The Warrant Agent shall retain each certificate received by it from the
Euroclear Operator or Clearstream through the Expiration Date (or such earlier
date by which all of the Warrants may have been exercised or cancelled) and
thereafter shall dispose of them or deliver them to the Company pursuant to the
instructions of the Company.]

                                       5
<Page>

      [The delivery to the Warrant Agent by the Euroclear Operator or
Clearstream of any certification referred to above may be relied upon by the
Company, the Warrant Agent and the Trustee as conclusive evidence that a
corresponding certificate or certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit D
hereto has or have been delivered to the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as
the case may be.]

      [The Company will maintain in [location] (or in such other city [in
western Europe] as the Company may deem advisable), until the right to exercise
the Warrants shall expire or be earlier cancelled as hereinafter provided, an
agency where the Global Warrant Certificate [and, if prior to the Detachable
Date, the Temporary Global Security] may be presented for exercise of the
Warrants represented thereby [and, if prior to the Detachable Date, for
surrender for cancellation of the Offered Securities to which such Warrants are
attached] and notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Warrants or of this Agreement may be made.]

      The date on which payment in full of the Warrant Price (plus any such
accrued interest) is received by the Warrant Agent shall, subject to receipt of
the Warrant Certificate [in registered form or, as the case may be, the Global
Warrant Certificate [and, if required, the Temporary Global Security] and the
certification of Euroclear Operator or Clearstream] as aforesaid, be deemed to
be the date on which the Warrant is exercised. The Warrant Agent shall deposit
all funds received by it in payment for the exercise of Warrants in an account
of the Company maintained with it (or in such other account as may be designated
by the Company) and shall advise the Company, by telephone or by facsimile
transmission or other form of electronic communication available to both
parties, at the end of each day on which a payment for the exercise of Warrants
is received of the amount so deposited to its account. The Warrant Agent shall
promptly confirm such advice to the Company in writing.

      If a day on which Warrants may be exercised in the city in which such
Warrants are to be exercised shall be a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which
banking institutions in such city are authorized or required to be closed, then,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Warrant Certificate
evidencing such Warrants, but subject to the limitation that no Warrant may be
exercised after the Expiration Date, the Warrants shall be exercisable on the
next succeeding day which in such city is not a Saturday or Sunday or a day on
which banking institutions in such city are authorized or required to be closed.

      The Warrant Agent shall, from time to time, as promptly as practicable,
advise the Company [and][,] the Trustee [and the Common Depositary at [both] its
London and [location] office[s]] in writing [(which, in the case of exercised
Warrants represented by the Global Warrant Certificate, shall be tested telex
with appropriate answerback received,)] of (i) the number of Warrants exercised,
(ii) the instructions of each Holder of the Warrant Certificates [in registered
form] evidencing such Warrants [or of the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as
the case may be,] with respect to delivery of the Warrant Securities to be
issued upon such exercise, (iii) delivery of any Warrant Certificates [in
registered form] evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after
such exercise, and (iv) such other information as the Company or the Trustee
shall reasonably require. [In addition, in the case of exercised Warrants
evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate, the Warrant Agent shall, as
promptly as practicable, endorse, or cause the Common Depositary, [location]
office, or one of the Warrant Agent's agents to endorse, Schedule A annexed to
the Global Warrant Certificate to reflect the exercise of such

                                       6
<Page>

Warrants [and the Temporary Global Security to reflect the surrender for
cancellation of the Offered Securities to which such Warrants are attached] and,
if applicable, return the Global Warrant Certificate [and the Temporary Global
Security] to the Common Depositary or to its order.]

      As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant [evidenced by a
Warrant Certificate in registered form], but subject to receipt by the Warrant
Agent of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant as provided in this
Section, the Company shall issue, pursuant to the Indenture, in authorized
denominations to or upon the order of the Holder of the Warrant Certificate
evidencing each Warrant, the Warrant Securities to which such Holder is
entitled, in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be
directed by such Holder. If fewer than all of the Warrants evidenced by such
Warrant Certificate are exercised, the Company shall execute, and an authorized
officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver, a new
Warrant Certificate [in registered form] evidencing the number of such Warrants
remaining unexercised.

      [As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant evidenced by the
Global Warrant Certificate, the Company shall issue, pursuant to the Indenture,
the Warrant Securities issuable upon such exercise, in authorized denominations
(i) in fully registered form, registered in such name or names as may be
directed by the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as the case may be, to or
upon order of the Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as the case may be, or (ii)
in bearer form to the Common Depositary to be held for the account of the
Euroclear Operator or Clearstream, as the case may be, together with a written
confirmation substantially in form of Exhibit E hereto; provided, however, that
no Warrant Security in bearer form shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any
location in the United States of America, its territories or possessions or
areas subject to its jurisdiction or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.]

      The Company shall not be required to pay any stamp or other tax or other
governmental charge required to be paid in connection with any transfer involved
in the issuance of the Warrant Securities, and in the event that any such
transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
Warrant Security until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has
been established to the Company's satisfaction that no such tax or other charge
is due.

                                   Article 3

                     OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF
                         HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES

            Section 3.01. NO RIGHTS AS WARRANT SECURITYHOLDER CONFERRED BY
WARRANTS OR WARRANT CERTIFICATES. No Warrant Certificate or Warrant evidenced
thereby shall entitle the Holder or any beneficial owner thereof to any of the
rights of a holder or beneficial owner of Warrant Securities, including, without
limitation, the right to receive the payment of principal of (premium, if any)
or interest, if any, on Warrant Securities or to enforce any of the covenants in
the Indenture.

<Page>

            Section 3.02. LOST, MUTILATED, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED WARRANT
CERTIFICATES. Upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it and the Company of the ownership of and the loss, mutilation,
theft or destruction of any Warrant Certificate and of such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Company and the Warrant Agent to hold each
of them and any agent of them harmless and, in the case of mutilation of a
Warrant Certificate, upon surrender thereof to the Warrant Agent for
cancellation, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Warrant Agent
that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall
manually countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost,
mutilated, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of
the same tenor and evidencing a like number of Warrants[; provided, however,
that any Global Warrant Certificate shall be so delivered only to the Common
Depositary.] Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate under this
Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant
Agent) in connection therewith. Every substitute Warrant Certificate executed
and delivered pursuant to this Section in lieu of any lost, mutilated, stolen or
destroyed Warrant Certificate shall represent an additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant
Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all
other Warrant Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions
of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of lost, mutilated,
stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates.

            Section 3.03. ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS. Notwithstanding any of the
provisions of this Agreement, any Holder of a Warrant Certificate [in registered
form or the beneficial owner of any Warrant evidenced by the Global Warrant
Certificate], without the consent of [the Common Depositary,] the Warrant Agent,
the Trustee, the holder of any Offered Securities or the Holder of any other
Warrant Certificate, may, in its own behalf and for its own benefit, enforce,
and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the
Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of, its right to exercise
its Warrants in the manner provided in its Warrant Certificate [or the Global
Warrant Certificate, as the case may be,] and in this Agreement. [Neither the
Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be required to treat any person as a
beneficial owner of any Warrant evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate
unless such person is so certified as such a beneficial owner by the Euroclear
Operator or Clearstream.]

            Section 3.04. MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, CONVEYANCE OR TRANSFER. (a) If
at any time there shall be a merger or consolidation of the Company or a
conveyance or transfer of its property and assets substantially as an entirety
as permitted under the Indenture, then in any such event the successor or
assuming corporation referred to therein shall succeed to and be substituted for
the Company, with the same effect, subject to the Indenture, as if it had been
named herein and in the Warrant Certificates as the Company; the Company shall
thereupon, except in the case of a transfer by way of lease, be relieved of any
further obligation hereunder and under the Warrants and the Warrant
Certificates, and the Company as the predecessor corporation, except in the case
of a transfer by way of lease, may thereupon or at any time thereafter be
dissolved, wound up or liquidated. Such successor or assuming corporation may

                                       8
<Page>

thereupon cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the
name of the Company, Warrant Certificates evidencing any or all of the Warrants
issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company,
and may execute and deliver Warrant Securities in its own name pursuant to the
Indenture, in fulfillment of its obligations to deliver Warrant Securities upon
exercise of the Warrants. All the Warrants so issued shall in all respects have
the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Warrants theretofore
or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though
all of such Warrants had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In any
case of any such merger, consolidation, conveyance or transfer, such changes in
phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Warrant
Certificates representing the Warrants thereafter to be issued as may be
appropriate.

            (b) The Warrant Agent may receive a written opinion of legal counsel
(who shall be acceptable to the Warrant Agent) as conclusive evidence that any
such merger, consolidation, conveyance or transfer complies with the provisions
of this Section and the Indenture.

                                   Article 4

                              EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER

            Section 4.01. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER. (a) [Upon] [Prior to the
Detachable Date, a Warrant Certificate [in registered form] may be exchanged or
transferred only together with the Offered Security to which such Warrant
Certificate was initially attached, and only for the purpose of effecting, or in
conjunction with, an exchange or transfer of such Offered Security. Prior to the
Detachable Date, the transfer of the beneficial ownership of any Warrant
evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate shall effect and shall be deemed to
effect the transfer of the beneficial ownership of any Offered Securities
evidenced by the Temporary Global Security that are attached to such Warrants.
Prior to any Detachable Date, each transfer of the Offered Security [on the
register maintained with respect to the Offered Securities, in the case of an
Offered Security that is in registered form], shall operate to also transfer the
related Warrant Certificates. Similarly, prior to the Detachable Date, the
transfer of the beneficial ownership of any Offered Security evidenced by the
Temporary Global Security shall be deemed to be the transfer of the beneficial
ownership of any Warrants evidenced by the Global Warrant Certificate that are
attached to such Offered Securities. The transfer of the beneficial ownership of
Warrants and Warrant Securities hereunder shall be effected only as provided in
Section 4.01. On or after the Detachable Date, upon] surrender at the corporate
trust office of the Warrant Agent at [address] [or ___________], Warrant
Certificates [in registered form] evidencing Warrants may be exchanged for
Warrant Certificates [in registered form] in other authorized denominations
evidencing such Warrants or the transfer thereof may be registered in whole or
in part; provided, however, that such other Warrant Certificates shall evidence
the same aggregate number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificates so
surrendered.

            (b) The Warrant Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office at
[address] [and at _________], books in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, it shall register Warrant Certificates [in
registered form] and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrant Certificates
[in registered form] upon surrender of such Warrant Certificates

                                       9
<Page>

to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office at [address] or [_________]
for exchange or registration of transfer, properly endorsed [or accompanied by
appropriate instruments of registration of transfer and written instructions for
transfer, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent.]

            (c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration
of transfer of Warrant Certificates [in registered form], but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange or
registration of transfer.

            (d) Whenever any Warrant Certificates [in registered form], are so
surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, an authorized officer of
the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver to the person or
persons entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates [in
registered form], duly authorized and executed by the Company, as so requested.
The Warrant Agent shall not effect any exchange or registration of transfer
which will result in the issuance of a Warrant Certificate [in registered form],
evidencing a fraction of a Warrant or a number of full Warrants and a fraction
of a Warrant.

            (e) All Warrant Certificates [in registered form], issued upon any
exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates shall be the valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the
same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for
such exchange or registration or transfer.

            Section 4.02. TREATMENT OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. [With
respect to the Global Warrant Certificate, the Holder thereof may be treated by
the Company, the Warrant Agent and all other persons dealing with such Holder as
the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to
exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice to
the contrary notwithstanding.] [Each] [With respect to Warrant Certificates in
registered form, each] Holder of a Warrant Certificate, by accepting the same,
consents and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent and every subsequent
Holder of such Warrant Certificate that until the transfer of such Warrant
Certificate is registered on the books of such Warrant Agent [or, prior to the
Detachable Date, until the transfer of the Offered Security to which such
Warrant Certificate is attached, is registered in the register of the Offered
Securities], the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the registered Holder
of such Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as
the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced
thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.

            Section 4.03. CANCELLATION OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES. (a) Any Warrant
Certificate surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer or exercise of
the Warrants evidenced thereby shall, if surrendered to the Company, be
delivered to the Warrant Agent, and all Warrant Certificates surrendered or so
delivered to the Warrant Agent shall be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent
and shall not be reissued and, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement,
no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof. The Warrant Agent shall cause all cancelled Warrant Certificates to be
destroyed and shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company.
(b) If the Company notifies the Trustee of its election to redeem [prior to the
Detachable Date] [, as a whole but not in part,] [the

                                       10
<Page>

Offered Securities [or] [and]] the Warrant Securities pursuant to the Indenture
or the terms thereof, the Company may elect, and shall give notice to the
Warrant Agent of its election, to cancel the unexercised Warrants, the Warrant
Certificates and the rights evidenced thereby. Promptly after receipt of such
notice by the Warrant Agent, the Company shall, or, at the Company's request,
the Warrant Agent shall in the name of and at the expense of the Company, give
notice of such cancellation to the Holders of the Warrant Certificates [in
registered form and to the beneficial owners of the Global Warrant Certificate
(except that such notice shall be required to be published only once)], such
notice to be so given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date
fixed for the redemption of [the Offered Securities [or] [and]] the Warrant
Securities pursuant to the Indenture or the terms thereof. The unexercised
Warrants, the Warrant Certificates and the rights evidenced thereby shall be
cancelled and become void on the 15th day prior to such date fixed for
redemption.

Agreement on its part in connection with the services rendered hereunder by the

      (c) Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with counsel satisfactory to it
in its reasonable judgment, and the advice of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of
such counsel.

      (d) Documents. The Warrant Agent shall be protected and shall incur no
liability for or in respect of any action taken or thing suffered by it in
reliance upon any Warrant Certificate, notice, direction, consent, certificate,
affidavit, statement or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been presented or signed by the proper parties.

      (e) Certain Transactions. The Warrant Agent, and its officers, directors
and employees, may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, Warrants,
with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Warrant Agent
hereunder, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, it or they may engage
or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company and may
act on, or as depositary, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of holders
of Warrant Securities or other obligations of the Company as freely as if it
were not the Warrant Agent hereunder. Nothing in this Warrant Agreement shall be
deemed to prevent the Warrant Agent from acting as Trustee under the Indenture.

      (f) No Liability for Interest. The Warrant Agent shall have no liability
for interest on any monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of the Warrant Certificates.

taken as the statements of the Company and the Warrant Agent assumes no
liability for the correctness of the same.

      (i) No Implied Obligations. The Warrant Agent shall be obligated to
perform only such duties as are herein and in the Warrant Certificates
specifically set forth and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into

Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder
which may tend to involve it in any expense or liability, the payment of which
within a reasonable time is not, in its reasonable opinion, assured to it. The
Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for
the use by the Company of any of the Warrant Certificates countersigned by the
Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or
for the application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrant Certificates.
The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by
the Company in the performance of its covenants or agreements contained herein

                                       12
<Page>

foregoing, any duty or responsibility to initiate or attempt to initiate any
proceedings at law or otherwise or, except as provided in Section 6.02, to make

            Section 5.03. RESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) The
Company agrees, for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Warrant
Certificates, that there shall at all times be a Warrant Agent hereunder until
all the Warrants have been exercised or are no longer exercisable.

      (b) The Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such by giving written
notice of its resignation to the Company, specifying the desired date on which
its resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall
be not less than 90 days after the date on which such notice is given unless the
Company agrees to accept shorter notice. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Warrant Agent (which
shall be a bank or trust company in good standing, authorized under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization to exercise corporate trust powers) by
written instrument in duplicate signed on behalf of the Company, one copy of
which shall be delivered to the resigning Warrant Agent and one copy to the
successor Warrant Agent. The Company may, at any time and for any reason, remove
the Warrant Agent and appoint a successor Warrant Agent (qualified as aforesaid)
by written instrument in duplicate signed on behalf of the Company and
specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective,
one copy of which shall be delivered to the Warrant Agent being removed and one
copy to the successor Warrant Agent. Any resignation or removal of the Warrant
Agent and any appointment of a successor Warrant Agent shall become effective
upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Warrant Agent as provided in
this subsection (b). In the event a successor Warrant Agent has not been
appointed and accepted its duties within 90 days of the Warrant Agent's notice
of resignation, the Warrant Agent may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for the designation of a successor Warrant Agent. Upon its
resignation or removal, the Warrant Agent shall be entitled to the payment by
the Company of the compensation and to the reimbursement of all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by it
hereunder as agreed to in Section 5.02(a).

      (c) The Company shall remove the Warrant Agent and appoint a successor
Warrant Agent if the Warrant Agent (i) shall become incapable of acting, (ii)
shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, (iii) shall commence a voluntary case
or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with
respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law
now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver,
liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of
its property, (iv) shall consent to, or shall have had entered against it a
court order for, any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession
by any such official in any involuntary case or other proceedings commenced
against it, (v) shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or
(vi) shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due. Upon the
appointment as aforesaid of a successor Warrant Agent and acceptance by it of
such appointment, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall, if not previously
disqualified by operation of law, cease to be Warrant Agent hereunder.

      (d) Any successor Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and the Company an instrument
accepting such

                                       13
<Page>

appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Warrant Agent, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority,
rights, powers, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like
effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, and such predecessor
shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such
successor Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive, all monies, securities and
other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor as Warrant Agent
hereunder.

      (e) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged
or converted or any corporation with which the Warrant Agent may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to
which the Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially
all the assets and business of the Warrant Agent, provided that it shall be
qualified as aforesaid, shall be the successor Warrant 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.

                              MISCELLANEOUS SECTION

            Section 6.01. AMENDMENT. (a) This Agreement and the terms of the
Warrants and the Warrant Certificates may be amended by the parties hereto,
without the consent of the Holder of any Warrant Certificate or the beneficial
owner of any Warrant, for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing,
correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision contained
herein or in the Warrant Certificates, or making any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement as the Company and
the Warrant Agent may deem necessary or desirable, provided that such action
shall not affect adversely the interests of the Holders of the Warrant
Certificates or the beneficial owners of Warrants in any material respect.

      (b) The Company and the Warrant Agent may modify or amend this Agreement
(by means of an agreement supplemental hereto or otherwise) with the consent of
Warrantholders holding not less than a majority in number of the then
outstanding Warrants of all series affected by such modification or amendment,
for any purpose; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment that
changes the exercise price of the Warrants of any series, reduces the amount
receivable upon exercise, cancellation or expiration of the Warrants other than
in accordance with the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment
provisions included in the terms of the Warrants, shortens the period of time
during which the Warrants of such series may be exercised, or otherwise
materially and adversely affects the exercise rights of the affected
Warrantholders or reduces the percentage of the number of outstanding Warrants
of such series, the consent of whose holders is required for modification or
amendment of this Agreement, may be made without the consent of each
Warrantholder affected thereby. In the case of Warrants evidenced by one or more
Global Warrant Certificates, the Company and the Warrant Agent shall be entitled
to rely upon certification in form satisfactory to each of them that any
requisite consent has been obtained from holders of beneficial ownership
interests in the relevant Global Warrant Certificate. Such certification may be
provided by participants of the Depositary acting on behalf of such beneficial
owners of Warrants, provided that any such

                                       14
<Page>

certification is accompanied by a certification from the Depositary as to the
Warrant holdings of such participants.

            Section 6.02. NOTICES AND DEMANDS TO THE COMPANY AND WARRANT AGENT.
If the Warrant Agent shall receive any notice or demand addressed to the Company

Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall promptly forward such notice or demand to
the Company.

            Section 6.05. DELIVERY OF PROSPECTUS. The Company will furnish to
the Warrant Agent sufficient copies of a prospectus relating to the Warrant
Securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants (the "Prospectus"), and the
Warrant Agent agrees that upon the exercise of any Warrant, the Warrant Agent
will deliver to the Holder of the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrant,
prior to or concurrently with the delivery of the Warrant Securities issued upon
such exercise, a Prospectus. The Warrant Agent shall not, by reason of any such
delivery, assume any responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of such
Prospectus.

            Section 6.06. OBTAINING OF GOVERNMENTAL APPROVAL. The Company will
from time to time take all action which may be necessary to obtain and keep
effective any and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies
and authorities and securities acts filings under United States federal and
state laws (including without limitation a registration statement in respect of
the Warrants and Warrant Securities under the Securities Act of 1933), which may
be or become requisite in connection with the issuance, sale, transfer and
delivery of the Warrant Certificates, the exercise of the Warrants, the
issuance, sale, transfer and delivery of the Warrant Securities issued upon
exercise of the Warrants or upon the expiration of the period during which the
Warrants are exercisable.

            Section 6.07. PERSONS HAVING RIGHTS UNDER WARRANT AGREEMENT. [Except
as otherwise provided in Section 3.03, nothing] [Nothing] in this Agreement
shall give to any person other than the Company, the Warrant Agent and the
Holders of the Warrant Certificates any right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.

            Section 6.08. HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the several
