          Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required
          by the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof to the extent necessary to

          Restricted Securities entitled, subject to Section 2(b), to the
          benefit of this Agreement and (B) conforms with the requirements of
          this Agreement and the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of
          the Commission promulgated thereunder as announced from time to time,
          for a period (the "Effectiveness Period") until the earliest of:

                         (1) two years following the last date of original
                    issuance of any of the Securities; or

                         (2) the date when the Holders of Transfer Restricted
                    Securities are able to sell all such Transfer Restricted
                    Securities immediately without restriction pursuant to the
                    volume limitation provisions of Rule 144 under the
                    Securities Act; and

                         (3) the date when all of the Transfer Restricted
                    Securities of those Holders that complete and deliver in a
                    timely manner the Holder Questionnaire described below are
                    registered under the Shelf Registration Statement and
                    disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration
                    Statement.

          (b)  No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of
its Transfer Restricted Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant
to this Agreement unless such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, prior
to or on the 20th Business Day after a request therefor (or, in the case of a
Holder that is a transferee of Transfer Restricted Securities, prior to or on
the earlier of (i) the 20/th/ Business Day after the completion of such transfer
to the transferee and (ii) 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the second Business
Day before the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement) (the
"Questionnaire Deadline"), such information as the Company may reasonably
request for use in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein and in any application to
be filed with or under state securities laws (the form of which request is
attached as Appendix A to the offering memorandum dated July 10, 2001 regarding
the sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers and is referred to herein
as the "Holder Questionnaire"). In connection with all such requests for
information from Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Company shall
notify such Holders of the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence. The
Company agrees and undertakes that (i) it shall distribute a Holder
Questionnaire no later than 20 Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the
Shelf Registration Statement to each Holder at the address set forth on the
register of Securities maintained by the Registrar of the Securities or the
records of the transfer agent of the Common Stock at such time, and (ii) upon
the request of any Holder prior to 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the second
Business Day before the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company shall distribute a

                                       4
<PAGE>

Holder Questionnaire to such Holder at the address set forth in such request.
Holders that do not complete the Holder Questionnaire and timely deliver it to
the Company shall not be named as selling securityholders in the Prospectus or
preliminary Prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement and
therefore shall not be permitted to sell any Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities shall be entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 3 hereof
unless such Holder shall have provided all such reasonably requested information
prior to or on the Questionnaire Deadline. Each Holder as to which the Shelf
Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the
Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make information
previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading.

          3.   Additional Interest.

          (a)  If:

               (i)    the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed with the
          Commission prior to or on the Shelf Filing Deadline;

               (ii)   the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared
          effective by the Commission prior to or on the Effectiveness Target
          Date;

               (iii)  except as provided in Section 4(b)(i) hereof, the Shelf
          Registration Statement is filed and declared effective but, during the
          Effectiveness Period, shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail
          to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within
          five Business Days by a post-effective amendment to the Shelf
          Registration Statement, a supplement to the Prospectus or a report
          filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
          15(d) of the Exchange Act that cures such failure and, in the case of
          a post-effective amendment, is itself immediately declared effective;
          or

               (iv)   (A)  prior to or on the 45/th/ or 60/th/ day, as the case
          may be, of any Suspension Period, such suspension has not been
          terminated or (B) Suspension Periods exceed an aggregate of 90 days in
          any 360 day period,

(each such event referred to in foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), a
"Registration Default"), the Company hereby agrees to pay additional interest
("Additional Interest") with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities from
and including the day following the Registration Default to but excluding the
earlier of (1) the day on which the Registration Default has been cured and (2)
the date the Shelf Registration Statement is no longer required to be kept
effective, accruing at a rate:

               (A)    in respect of the Securities, to each holder of
          Securities, (x) with respect to the first 90-day period during which a
          Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to
          0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities, and (y)
          with respect to the period commencing on the 91/st/ day following the
          day the Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
          equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities;
          provided that

                                       5
<PAGE>

          in no event shall Additional Interest accrue at a rate per year
          exceeding 0.50% of the principal amount of the Securities; and

               (B)  in respect of any shares of Common Stock, to each holder of
          shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Securities, (x) with
          respect to the first 90-day period in which a Registration Default
          shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to 0.25% per annum of the
          principal amount of the converted Securities, and (y) with respect to
          the period commencing the 91/st/ day following the day the
          Registration Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to
          0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the converted Securities;
          provided that in no event shall Additional Interest accrue at a rate
          per year exceeding 0.50% of the principal amount of the converted
          Securities.

          (b)  All accrued Additional Interest shall be paid in arrears to
Record Holders by the Company on each Additional Interest Payment Date in the
same manner as the payment of interest on the Securities. Upon the cure of all
Registration Defaults relating to any particular Security or share of Common
Stock, the accrual of Additional Interest with respect to such Security or share
of Common Stock will cease.

          All obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 3 that are
outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such
security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such
time as all such obligations with respect to such Transfer Restricted Security
shall have been satisfied in full.

          The Additional Interest set forth above shall be the exclusive
monetary remedy available to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities for
such Registration Default.

          4.   Registration Procedures.

          (a)  In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company
shall comply with all the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof and shall use its
reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the
Transfer Restricted Securities, and pursuant thereto, shall as expeditiously as
possible prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement
relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act.

          (b)  In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement and any
Prospectus required by this Agreement to permit the sale or resale of Transfer
Restricted Securities, the Company shall:

               (i)  Subject to any notice by the Company in accordance with this
          Section 4(b) of the existence of any fact or event of the kind
          described in Section 4(b)(iii)(D), use its reasonable efforts to keep
          the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective during the
          Effectiveness Period; upon the occurrence of any event that would
          cause the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained
          therein (A) to contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not
          be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities
          during the Effectiveness Period, the Company shall file promptly an
          appropriate amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, a
          supplement to the Prospectus or a report

                                       6
<PAGE>

          filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
          15(d) of the Exchange Act, in the case of clause (A), correcting any
          such misstatement or omission, and, in the case of either clause (A)
          or (B), use its reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be
          declared effective and the Shelf Registration Statement and the
          related Prospectus to become usable for their intended purposes as
          soon as practicable thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
          Company may suspend the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
          Statement by written notice to the Holders for a period not to exceed
          an aggregate of 45 days in any 90-day period (each such period, a
          "Suspension Period") if:

                    (x)   an event occurs and is continuing as a result of which
               the Shelf Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment
               or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference
               therein would, in the Company's judgment, contain an untrue
               statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
               required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
               therein not misleading; and

                    (y)   the Company determines in good faith that the
               disclosure of such event at such time would be seriously
               detrimental to the Company and its subsidiaries;

          provided that, in the event the disclosure relates to a previously
          undisclosed proposed or pending material business transaction, the
          disclosure of which the Company determines in good faith would be
          reasonably likely to impede the Company's ability to consummate such
          transaction, the Company may extend a Suspension Period from 45 days
          to 60 days; provided, however, that Suspension Periods shall not
          exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 360-day period. The Company
          shall not be required to specify in the written notice to the Holders
          the nature of the event giving rise to the Suspension Period.

               (ii)  Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
          post-effective amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as may
          be necessary to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during
          the Effectiveness Period; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by
          any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed
          pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully
          with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the
          Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of
          the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
          covered by the Shelf Registration Statement during the applicable
          period in accordance with the intended method or methods of
          distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in the Shelf
          Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus.

               (iii) Advise the selling Holders promptly and, if requested by
          such selling Holders, to confirm such advice in writing, except as
          provided in clause (D) below:

                                       7
<PAGE>

                    (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
               post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the
               Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
               thereto, when the same has become effective,

                    (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the
               Shelf Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the
               Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto,

                    (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
               suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement
               under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state
               securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer
               Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction,
               or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding
               purposes, or

                    (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any
               event, during the Effectiveness Period, that makes any statement
               of a material fact made in the Shelf Registration Statement, the
               Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document
               incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the
               making of any additions to or changes in the Shelf Registration
               Statement or the Prospectus in order to make the statements
               therein not misleading.

          If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending
          the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, or any state
          securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an
          order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of
          the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky
          laws, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain the
          withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time and
          will provide to each Holder who is named in the Shelf Registration
          Statement prompt notice of the withdrawal of any such order.

               (iv)  Make available at reasonable times for inspection by one or
          more representatives of the selling Holders, designated in writing by
          a Majority of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are
          included in the Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney or
          accountant retained by such selling Holders, all financial and other
          records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
          as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to conduct a
          reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the
          Securities Act, and cause the Company's officers, directors, managers
          and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any
          such representative or representatives of the selling Holders,
          attorney or accountant in connection therewith; provided, however,
          that the Company shall have no obligation to deliver information to
          any selling Holder or representative pursuant to this Section 4(b)(iv)
          unless such selling Holder or representative shall have

                                       8
<PAGE>

          executed and delivered a confidentiality agreement in a form
          acceptable to the Company relating to such information.

               (v)     If requested by any selling Holders, promptly incorporate
          in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a
          supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information
          as such selling Holders may reasonably request to have included
          therein, including, without limitation information relating to the
          "Plan of Distribution" of the Transfer Restricted Securities.

               (vi)    Furnish to each selling Holder upon their request,
          without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement,
          as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto (and
          any documents incorporated by reference therein or exhibits thereto
          (or exhibits incorporated in such exhibits by reference) as such
          Person may request).

               (vii)   Deliver to each selling Holder, without charge, as many
          copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and
          any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may
          request; subject to any notice by the Company in accordance with this
          Section 4(b) of the existence of any fact or event of the kind
          described in Section 4(b)(iii) (D), the Company hereby consents to the
          use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each
          of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and the sale of
          the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any
          amendment or supplement thereto.

               (viii)  Before any public offering of Transfer Restricted
          Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in
          connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer
          Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
          jurisdictions in the United States as the selling Holders may
          reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things necessary
          or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
          Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
          Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
          (A) to register or qualify as a foreign corporation or a dealer of
          securities where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that
          would subject it to the service of process in any jurisdiction where
          it is not now so subject or (B) to subject themselves to taxation in
          any such jurisdiction if they are not now so subject.

               (ix)    Cooperate with the selling Holders to facilitate the
          timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer
          Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive
          legends (unless required by applicable securities laws); and enable
          such Transfer Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and
          registered in such names as the Holders may request at least two
          Business Days before any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities.

                                                                              11

               (xii)   Use its reasonable efforts to cause the Transfer
          Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to
          be registered with or approved by such other U.S. governmental
          agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or
          sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Transfer
          Restricted Securities.

               (xiii)  Subject to Section 4(b)(i) hereof, if any fact or event
          contemplated by Section 4(b)(iii)(D) hereof shall exist or have
          occurred, use its reasonable efforts to prepare a supplement or post-
          effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or related
          Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file
          any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the
          purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not
          contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
          material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
          statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are
          made, not misleading.

               (xiv)   Provide CUSIP numbers for all Transfer Restricted
          Securities not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration
          Statement and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with
          certificates for the Securities that are in a form eligible for
          deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

               (xv)    Cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made
          with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence
          investigation by any underwriter that is required to be retained in
          accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD.

               (xvi)   Otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with all
          applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and all reporting
          requirements under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act.

               (xvii)  Cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not
          later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement
          required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate
          with the Trustee and the holders of Securities to effect such changes
          to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so
          qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use
          its reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee thereunder to execute all
          documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other
          forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable
          such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.

               (xviii) Cause all Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration
          Statement to be listed or quoted, as the case may be, on each
          securities exchange or automated quotation system on which Common
          Stock is then listed or quoted.

               (xix)   Provide to each Holder upon written request each document
          filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13
          and Section 15
<PAGE>

                                                                              12

          of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Shelf Registration
          Statement, unless such document is available through the Commission's
          EDGAR system.

          (c)  Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted
Security that, upon receipt of any notice (a "Suspension Notice") from the
Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section
4(b)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
until:

               (i)  such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or
          amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(b)(xiii) hereof; or

               (ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the
          use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any
          additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference
          in the Prospectus.

If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the
Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such
Holder's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted
Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice of suspension.

          (d)  Each Holder who intends to be named as a selling Holder in the
Shelf Registration Statement shall furnish to the Company in writing, within 20
Business Days after a request therefor as set forth in the Holder Questionnaire,
such information regarding such Holder and the proposed distribution by such
Holder of its Transfer Restricted Securities as the Company may reasonably
request for use in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein.  Holders that do not
complete the Holder Questionnaire and deliver it to the Company shall not be
named as selling securityholders in the Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus
included in the Shelf Registration Statement and therefore shall not be
permitted to sell any Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
transferees of all or a portion of a Holder's Transfer Restricted Securities who
furnish the Company a completed Holder Questionnaire on or prior to the earlier
of (i) the 20/th/ business day after the completion of such transfer to the
transferee and (ii) 9:00 a.m., San Francisco time, on the second Business Day
before the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement shall be named as
selling securityholders in the Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included in
the Shelf Registration Statement.  Each Holder who intends to be named as a
selling Holder in the Shelf Registration Statement shall promptly furnish to the
Company in writing such other information as the Company may from time to time
reasonably request in writing.

          (e)  Upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, each
Holder shall notify the Company at least three Business Days prior to any
intended distribution of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement (a "Sale Notice"), which notice shall be effective for
five Business Days.  Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, by accepting
the same, agrees to hold any communication by the Company in response to a Sale
Notice in confidence.  Upon receipt of a Sale Notice, the Company shall inform
each Holder in writing of the existence of a Suspension Period or otherwise, of
the kind of event described in Section 4(b)(iii)(D).

          5.   Registration Expenses.

               All expenses incident to the Company's performance of or
compliance with this Agreement shall be borne by the Company regardless of
whether a Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without
limitation:

               (i)    all registration and filing fees and expenses (including
          filings made with the NASD);

               (ii)   all fees and expenses of compliance with federal
          securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws;

               (iii)  all expenses of printing (including printing of
          Prospectuses and certificates for the Common Stock to be issued upon
          conversion of the Securities) and the Company's expenses for messenger
          and delivery services and telephone;

               (iv)   all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Company;

               (v)    all application and filing fees in connection with listing
          (or authorizing for quotation) the Common Stock on a national
          securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the
          requirements hereof; and

               (vi)   all fees and disbursements of independent certified public
          accountants of the Company.

          The Company shall bear its internal expenses (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of their officers and employees performing
legal, accounting or other duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the
fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the
Company.

          6.   Indemnification and Contribution.

          (a)  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, such
Holder's officers and employees and each person, if any, who controls such
Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an "Indemnified Holder"),
from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any
action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action relating to resales of the Transfer Restricted
Securities), to which such Indemnified Holder may become subject, insofar as any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon:

               (i)    any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
          material fact contained in (A) the Shelf Registration Statement or
          Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any blue sky
          application or other document or any amendment or supplement thereto
          prepared or executed by the Company (or based upon written information
          furnished by or on behalf of the Company expressly for use in such
          blue sky application or other document or amendment on supplement)
          filed in any jurisdiction specifically for the purpose of qualifying
          any or all of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities
          law
<PAGE>

                                                                              14

          of any state or other jurisdiction (such application or document being
          hereinafter called a "Blue Sky Application"); or

               (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any
          material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
          statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
          were made, not misleading,

and shall reimburse each Indemnified Holder promptly upon demand for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Holder in connection
with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is
based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or
amendment or supplement thereto or Blue Sky Application in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
such Holder (or its related Indemnified Holder) specifically for use therein;
provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified
Holder under the indemnity agreement in this subsection (a) with respect to any
preliminary Prospectus to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability of such Indemnified Holder results from the fact that such Indemnified
Holder sold Transfer Restricted Securities to a Person as to whom it shall be
established that there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written
confirmation of such sale, a copy of the final Prospectus in any case where such
delivery is required by the Securities Act if the Company had previously
furnished copies thereof in sufficient quantities to such Indemnified Holder and
the loss, claim, damage or liability of such Indemnified Holder results from an
untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary
Prospectus which was (i) identified to such Identified Holder at or prior to the
earlier of the filing with the Commission or the furnishing to such Indemnified
Holder of the corrected Prospectus and (ii) corrected in the final Prospectus.
The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Holder.

          (b)  Each Holder, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its officers and employees and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against
any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect
thereof, to which the Company or any such officer, employee or controlling
person may become subject, insofar as any such loss, claim, damage or liability
or action arises out of, or is based upon:

               (i)  any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
          material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement or
          Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Blue Sky
          Application; or

               (ii) the omission or the alleged omission to state therein any
          material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
          statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
          were made, not misleading,

but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written
<PAGE>

                                                                              15

information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder (or its
related Indemnified Holder) specifically for use therein, and shall reimburse
the Company and any such officer, employee or controlling person promptly upon
demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any
such officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in
addition to any liability which any Holder may otherwise have to the Company and
any such officer, employee or controlling person.

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
6 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that
the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the
failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6.
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and
it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with
any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party.  After notice from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
the indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that
the Holders shall have the right to employ a single counsel to represent jointly
a the Holders and their officers, employees and controlling persons who may be
subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may
be sought by the Holders against the Company under this Section 6 if the Holders
seeking indemnification shall have been advised by legal counsel that there may
be one or more legal defenses available to such Holders and their respective
officers, employees and controlling persons that are different from or
additional to those available to the Company, and in that event the fees and
expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by the Company.  No indemnifying
party shall:

               (i)  without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties
          (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) settle or
          compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
          pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of
          which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether
          or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such
          claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent
          includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all
          liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or

               (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected
          without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
          withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a
          final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying
          party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any
<PAGE>

                                                                              16

          indemnified party from and against any loss of liability by reason of
          such settlement or judgment.

          (d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 shall for
any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
under Section 6(a) or 6(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability
(or action in respect thereof) referred to therein, each indemnifying party
shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim,
damage or liability (or action in respect thereof):

               (i)  in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
          benefits received by the Company from the offering and sale of the
          Transfer Restricted Securities on the one hand and a Holder with
          respect to the sale by such Holder of the Transfer Restricted
          Securities on the other, or

               (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (6)(d)(i) is not
          permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
          reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 6(d)(i)
          but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the
          Holders on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or
          alleged statements or alleged omissions that resulted in such loss,
          claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof), as well as
          any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and a Holder on
the other with respect to such offering and such sale shall be deemed to be in
the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the
Securities purchased under the Purchase Agreement (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company, on the one hand, bear to the total proceeds received by
such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities on the
other.  The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Holders on the other, the intent
of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Company and
each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of
contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph
(d).  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to
above in this Section 6 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section
6, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such
action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Holder
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Transfer Restricted Securities purchased by it were
resold exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person
<PAGE>

                                                                              17

who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders'
obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 6(d) are several and not
joint.

          7.   Rule 144A.  In the event the Company is not subject to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company hereby agrees with each Holder, for so
long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available
to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in
connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer
Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information
required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales
of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A.

          8.   No Participation in Underwritten Registrations.  No Holder may
participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder.

          9.   Miscellaneous.

          (a)  Remedies.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure
by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 2 hereof may result
in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for
which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to
measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such
failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be

specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

          (b)  Actions Affecting Transfer Restricted Securities.  The Company

<PAGE>   6

                                periods on any reasonable basis consistently

                        Employer or a Related Employer, each such hour to be
                        credited to the Employee for the computation period to
                        which the award or agreement pertains rather than the
                        computation period in which the award agreement or
                        payment is made.

                                For purposes of determining Hours of Service,

                        Service will be calculated in accordance with the

                        of Labor regulations which are incorporated herein by

                        break in service for participation purposes has occurred
                        in a computation period, an individual who is absent
                        from work for maternity or paternity reasons shall
                        receive credit for the hours of service which would
                        otherwise been credited to such individual but for such
                        absence, or in any case in which such hours cannot be
                        determined, 8 hours of service per day of such absence.

                        beginning immediately following such birth or placement.
                        The hours of service credited under this paragraph shall
                        be credited (1) in the computation period in which the
                        absence begins if the crediting is necessary to prevent
                        a break in service in that period, or (2) in all other

                to compute vesting service), subject to any exclusions elected
                by the Employer in Section 1.07(b). An Employee will receive

                the Employee's Employment Commencement Date and ending on the
                date a break in service begins, unless any such years are
                excluded by Section 1.07(b). An Employee will also receive
                credit for any period of severance of less than 12 consecutive

                                       4
<PAGE>   8

                In the case of a Participant who has 5 consecutive 1-year breaks
        in service, all years of service after such breaks in service will be
        disregarded for the purpose of vesting the Employer-derived account
        balance that accrued before such breaks, but both pre-break and
        post-break service will count for the purposes of vesting the
        Employer-derived account balance that accrues after such breaks. Both
        accounts will share in the earnings and losses of the fund.

                In the case of a Participant who does not have 5 consecutive
        1-year breaks in service, both the pre-break and post-break service will
        count in vesting both the pre-break and post-break employer-derived
        account balance.

                A break in service is a period of severance of at least 12
        consecutive months. Period of severance is a continuous period of time
        during which the Employee is not employed by the Employer. Such period
        begins on the date the Employee retires, quits or is discharged, or if
        earlier, the 12 month anniversary of the date on which the Employee was
        otherwise first absent from service.

                In the case of an individual who is absent from work for
        maternity or paternity reasons, the 12-consecutive month period
        beginning on the first anniversary of the first date of such absence
        shall not constitute a break in service. For purposes of this paragraph,
        an absence from work for maternity or paternity reasons means an absence
        (1) by reason of the pregnancy of the individual, (2) by reason of the
        birth of a child of the individual, (3) by reason of the placement of a
        child with the individual in connection with the adoption of such child
        by such individual, or (4) for purposes of caring for such child for a
        period beginning immediately following such birth or placement.

                If the Plan maintained by the Employer is the plan of a
        predecessor employer, an Employee's Years of Service for Vesting shall
        include years of service with such predecessor employer. In any case in
        which the Plan maintained by the Employer is not the plan maintained by
        a predecessor employer, service for such predecessor shall be treated as
        service for the Employer to the extent provided in Section 1.08.

(b) Pronouns used in the Plan are in the masculine gender but include the
feminine gender unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

ARTICLE 3. PARTICIPATION.

3.01. DATE OF PARTICIPATION. An eligible Employee (as set forth in Section
1.03(a)) will become a Participant in the Plan on the first Entry Date after
which he becomes an eligible Employee if he has filed an election pursuant to
Section 4.01. If the eligible Employee does not file an election pursuant to
Section 4.01 prior to his first Entry Date, then the eligible Employee will
become a Participant in the Plan as of the first day of a Plan Year for which he
has filed an election.

3.02. RESUMPTION OF PARTICIPATION FOLLOWING REEMPLOYMENT. If a Participant
ceases to be an Employee and thereafter returns to the employ of the Employer he
will again become a Participant as of an Entry Date following the date on which
he completes an Hour of Service for the Employer following his reemployment, if
he is an eligible Employee as defined in Section 1.03(a), and has filed an
election pursuant to Section 4.01.

3.03. CESSATION OR RESUMPTION OF PARTICIPATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN STATUS. If
any Participant continues in the employ of the Employer or Related Employer but
ceases to be an eligible Employee as defined in Section 1.03(a), the individual
shall continue to be a Participant until the entire amount of his benefit is
distributed; however, the individual shall not be entitled to make Deferral
Contributions or receive an allocation of Matching contributions during the
period that he is not an eligible Employee. Such Participant shall continue to
receive credit for service completed during the period for purposes of
determining his vested interest in his Accounts. In the event that the
individual subsequently again

                                       5
<PAGE>   9

becomes an eligible Employee, the individual shall resume full participation in
accordance with Section 3.01.

ARTICLE 4. CONTRIBUTIONS.

4.01. DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS. Each Participant may elect to execute a salary
reduction agreement with the Employer to reduce his Compensation by a specified
percentage not exceeding the percentage set forth in Section 1.05(a) and equal
to a whole number multiple of one (1) percent. Such agreement shall become
effective on the first day of the period as set forth in the Participant's
election. The election will be effective to defer Compensation relating to all
services performed in a Plan Year subsequent to the filing of such an election.
An election once made will remain in effect until a new election is made. A new
election will be effective as of the first day of the following Plan Year and
will apply only to Compensation payable with respect to services rendered after
such date. Amounts credited to a Participant's account prior to the effective
date of any new election will not be affected and will be paid in accordance
with that prior election. The Employer shall credit an amount to the account
maintained on behalf of the Participant corresponding to the amount of said
reduction. Under no circumstances may a salary reduction agreement be adopted
retroactively. A Participant may not revoke a salary reduction agreement for a
Plan year during that year.

4.02. MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS. If so provided by the Employer in Section 1.05(b),
the Employer shall make a Matching Contribution to be credited to the account
maintained on behalf of each Participant who had Deferral Contributions made on
his behalf during the year and who meets the requirement, if any, of Section
1.05(b)(3). The amount of the Matching Contribution shall be determined in
accordance with Section 1.05(b).

4.03. TIME OF MAKING EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS. The Employer will from time to time
make a transfer of assets to the Trustee for each Plan Year. The Employer shall
provide the Trustee with information on the amount to be credited to the
separate account of each Participant maintained under the Trust.

ARTICLE 5. PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS.

5.01. INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS. The Administrator will establish and maintain an
Account for each Participant which will reflect Matching and Deferral
Contributions credited to the Account on behalf of the Participant and earnings,
expenses, gains and losses credited thereto, and deemed investments made with
amounts in the Participant's Account. The Administrator will establish and
maintain such other accounts and records as it decides in its discretion to be
reasonably required or appropriate in order to discharge its duties under the
Plan. Participants will be furnished statements of their Account values at least
once each Plan Year.

ARTICLE 6. INVESTMENT OF CONTRIBUTIONS.

6.01. MANNER OF INVESTMENT. All amounts credited to the Accounts of Participants
shall be treated as though invested and reinvested only in eligible investments
selected by the Employer in Section 1.11(b).

6.02. INVESTMENT DECISIONS. Investments in which the Accounts of Participants
shall be treated as invested and reinvested shall be directed by the Employer or
by each Participant, or both, in accordance with the Employer's election in
Section 1.11(a).

        (a) All dividends, interest, gains and distributions of any nature
        earned in respect of Fund Shares in which the Account is treated as
        investing shall be credited to the Account as though reinvested in
        additional shares of that Fidelity Fund.

                                       6
<PAGE>   10

        (b) Expenses attributable to the acquisition of investments shall be
        charged to the Account of the Participant for which such investment is
        made.

ARTICLE 7. RIGHT TO BENEFITS.

7.01. NORMAL OR EARLY RETIREMENT. If provided by the Employer in Section
1.07(d), each Participant who attains his Normal Retirement Age or Early
Retirement Age will have a nonforfeitable interest in his Account in accordance
with the vesting schedule elected in Section 1.07. If a Participant retires on
or after attainment of Normal or Early Retirement Age, such retirement is
referred to as a normal retirement. On or after his normal retirement, the
balance of the Participant's Account, plus any amounts thereafter credited to
his Account, subject to the provisions of Section 7.06, will be distributed to
him in accordance with Article 8.

        If provided by the Employer in Section 1.06, a Participant who separates
from service before satisfying the age requirements for early retirement, but
has satisfied the service requirement will be entitled to the distribution of
his Account, subject to the provisions of Section 7.06, in accordance with
Article 8, upon satisfaction of such age requirement.

7.02. DEATH. If a Participant dies before the distribution of his Account has
commenced, or before such distribution has been completed, his Account shall
become vested in accordance with the vesting schedule elected in Section 1.07
and his designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will be entitled to receive the
balance or remaining balance of his Account, plus any amounts thereafter
credited to his Account, subject to the provisions of Section 7.06. Distribution
to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries will be made in accordance with Article 8.

        A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, or change
any prior designation of Beneficiary or Beneficiaries by giving notice to the
Administrator on a form designated by the Administrator. If more than one person
is designated as the Beneficiary, their respective interests shall be as
indicated on the designation form.

                                       7
<PAGE>   11

        A copy of the death notice or other sufficient documentation must be
filed with and approved by the Administrator. If upon the death of the
Participant there is, in the opinion of the Administrator, no designated
Beneficiary for part or all of the Participant's Account, such amount will be
paid to his surviving spouse or, if none, to his estate (such spouse or estate
shall be deemed to be the Beneficiary for purposes of the Plan). If a
Beneficiary dies after benefits to such Beneficiary have commenced, but before
they have been completed, and, in the opinion of the Administrator, no person
has been designated to receive such remaining benefits, then such benefits shall
be paid to the deceased Beneficiary's estate.

7.03. OTHER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. If provided by the Employer in Section
1.06, if a Participant terminates his employment for any reason other than death
or normal retirement, he will be entitled to a termination benefit equal to (i)
the vested percentage(s) of the value of the Matching Contributions to his
Account, as adjusted for income, expense, gain, or loss, such percentage(s)
determined in accordance with the vesting schedule(s) selected by the Employer
in Section 1.07, and (ii) the value of the Deferral Contributions to his Account
as adjusted for income, expense, gain or loss. The amount payable under this
Section 7.03 will be subject to the provisions of Section 7.06 and will be
distributed in accordance with Article 8.

7.04. SEPARATE ACCOUNT. If a distribution from a Participant's Account has been
made to him at a time when he has a nonforfeitable right to less than 100
percent of his Account, the vesting schedule in Section 1.07 will thereafter
apply only to amounts in his Account attributable to Matching Contributions
allocated after such distribution. The balance of his Account immediately after
such distribution will be transferred to a separate account which will be
maintained for the purpose of determining his interest therein according to the
following provisions.

        At any relevant time prior to a forfeiture of any portion thereof under
Section 7.05, a Participant's nonforfeitable interest in his Account held in a
separate account described in the preceding paragraph will be equal to P(AB +
(RxD))-(RxD), where P is the nonforfeitable percentage at the relevant time
determined under Section 7.05; AB is the account balance of the separate account
at the relevant time; D is the amount of the distribution; and R is the ratio of
the account balance at the relevant time to the account balance after
distribution. Following a forfeiture of any portion of such separate account
under Section 7.05 below, any balance in the Participant's separate account will
remain fully vested and nonforfeitable.

7.05. FORFEITURES. If a Participant terminates his employment, any portion of
his Account (including any amounts credited after his termination of employment)
not payable to him under Section 7.03 will be forfeited by him. For purposes of
this paragraph, if the value of a Participant's vested account balance is zero,
the Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his vested
interest immediately following termination of employment. Such forfeitures will
be applied to reduce the contributions of the Employer under the Plan (or
administrative expenses of the Plan).

                                       8
<PAGE>   12

7.06. ADJUSTMENT FOR INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE. If any distribution under this
Article 7 is not made in a single payment, the amount remaining in the Account
after the distribution will be subject to adjustment until distributed to
reflect the income and gain or loss on the investments in which such amount is
treated as invested and any expenses properly charged under the Plan and Trust
to such amounts.

7.07. HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS. Subject to the provisions of Article 8, a
Participant shall not be permitted to withdraw his Account (and earnings
thereon) prior to retirement or termination of employment, except if permitted
under Section 1.09, a Participant may apply to the Administrator to withdraw
some or all of his Account if such withdrawal is made on account of a hardship
as determined by the Employer.

ARTICLE 8. DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS PAYABLE AFTER TERMINATION OF SERVICE.

8.01. DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS TO PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES.

                (a) Distributions under the Plan to a Participant or to the
        Beneficiary of the Participant shall be made in a lump sum in cash or,
        if elected by the Employer in Section 1.10 and specified in the
        Participant's deferral election, under a systematic withdrawal plan
        (installment(s))not exceeding 10 years upon retirement, death or other
        termination of employment.

                (b) Distributions under a systematic withdrawal plan must be
        made in substantially equal annual, or more frequent, installments, in
        cash, over a period certain which does not extend 10 years. The period
        certain specified in a Participant's first deferral election specifying
        distribution under a systematic withdrawal plan shall apply to all
        subsequent elections of distributions under a systematic withdrawal plan
        made by the Participant.

8.02. DETERMINATION OF METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION. The Participant will determine
the method of distribution of benefits to himself and the method of distribution
to his Beneficiary. Such determination will be made at the time the Participant
makes a deferral election. If the Participant does not determine the method of
distribution to him or his Beneficiary, the method shall be a lump sum.

8.03. NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. The Administrator will notify the Trustee in writing
whenever any Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to receive benefits under
the Plan. The Administrator's notice shall indicate the form, amount and
frequency of benefits that such Participant or Beneficiary shall receive.

8.04. TIME OF DISTRIBUTION. In no event will distribution to a Participant be
made later than the date specified by the Participant in his salary reduction
agreement.

ARTICLE 9. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

9.01 AMENDMENT BY EMPLOYER. The Employer reserves the authority to amend the
Plan by filing with the Trustee an amended Adoption Agreement, executed by the
Employer only, on which said Employer has indicated a change or changes in
provisions previously elected by it. Such changes are to be effective on the
effective date of such amended Adoption Agreement. Any such change
notwithstanding, no Participant's Account shall be reduced by such change below
the amount to which the Participant would have been entitled if he had
voluntarily left the employ of the Employer immediately prior to the date of the
change. The Employer may from time to time make any amendment to the Plan that
may be necessary to satisfy the Code or ERISA. The Employer's board of directors
or other individual specified in the resolution adopting this Plan shall act on
behalf of the Employer for purposes of this Section 9.01.

9.02 RETROACTIVE AMENDMENTS. An amendment made by the Employer in accordance
with Section 9.01 may be made effective on a date prior to the first day of the
Plan Year in which it is adopted if such amendment is necessary or appropriate
to enable the Plan and Trust to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Code
or ERISA or to conform the Plan to any change in federal law or to any
regulations or ruling thereunder. Any retroactive amendment by the Employer
shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.01.

9.03. TERMINATION. The Employer has adopted the Plan with the intention and
expectation that contributions will be continued indefinitely. However, said
Employer has no obligation or liability whatsoever to maintain the Plan for any
length of time and may discontinue contributions under the Plan or terminate the
Plan at any time by written notice delivered to the Trustee without any
liability hereunder for any such discontinuance or termination.

9.04. DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. Upon termination of the Plan,
no further Deferral Contributions or Matching Contributions shall be made under
the Plan, but Accounts of Participants maintained under the Plan at the time of
termination shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan until paid
out in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS.

10.01. COMMUNICATION TO PARTICIPANTS. The Plan will be communicated to all
Participants by the Employer promptly after the Plan is adopted.

10 02. LIMITATION OF RIGHTS. Neither the establishment of the Plan and the
Trust, nor any amendment thereof, nor the creation of any fund or account, nor
the payment of any benefits, will be construed as giving to any Participant or
other person any legal or equitable right against the Employer, Administrator or
Trustee, except as provided herein; and in no event will the terms of employment
or service of any Participant be modified or in any way affected hereby.

10.03. NONALIENABILITY OF BENEFITS. The benefits provided hereunder will not be
subject to alienation, assignment, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy of
any kind, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and any attempt to cause such
benefits to be so subjected will not be recognized, except to such extent as may
be required by law.

10 04. FACILITY OF PAYMENT. In the event the Administrator determines, on the
basis of medical reports or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrator,
that the recipient of any benefit payments under the Plan is incapable of
handling his affairs by reason of minority, illness, infirmity or other
incapacity, the Administrator may direct the Trustee to disburse such payments
to a person or institution designated by a court which has jurisdiction over
such recipient or a person or institution otherwise having the legal authority
under State law for the care and control of such recipient. The receipt by such
person or institution of any such payments shall be complete acquittance
therefore, and any such payment to the extent thereof, shall discharge the
liability of the Trust for the payment of benefits hereunder to such recipient.

11.01. POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. The Administrator has
the full power and the full responsibility to administer the Plan in all of its
details, subject, however, to the applicable requirements of ERISA. The
Administrator's powers and responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the
following:

        (a) To make and enforce such rules and regulations as it deems necessary
        or proper for the efficient administration of the Plan;

        (b) To interpret the Plan, its interpretation thereof in good faith to
        be final and conclusive on all persons claiming benefits under the Plan;

        (c) To decide all questions concerning the Plan and the eligibility of
        any person to participate in the Plan;

        (d) To administer the claims and review procedures specified in Section
        11.03;

        (e) To compute the amount of benefits which will be payable to any
        Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary in accordance with the
        provisions of the Plan;

        (f) To determine the person or persons to whom such benefits will be
        paid;

        (g) To authorize the payment of benefits;

        (h) To comply with the reporting and disclosure requirements of Part 1
        of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA;

        (i) To appoint such agents, counsel, accountants, and consultants as may
        be required to assist in administering the Plan;

        (j) By written instrument, to allocate and delegate its
        responsibilities, including the formation of an Administrative Committee
        to administer the Plan;

11.02. NONDISCRIMINATORY EXERCISE OF AUTHORITY. Whenever, in the administration
of the Plan, any discretionary action by the Administrator is required, the
Administrator shall exercise its authority in a nondiscriminatory manner so that
all persons similarly situated will receive substantially the same treatment.

11.03. CLAIMS AND REVIEW PROCEDURES.

        (a) Claims Procedure. If any person believes he is being denied any
        rights or benefits under the Plan, such person may file a claim in
        writing with the Administrator. If any such claim is wholly or partially
        denied, the Administrator will notify such person of its decision in
        writing. Such notification will contain (i) specific reasons for the
        denial, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions, (iii) a
        description of any additional material or information necessary for such
        person to perfect such claim and an explanation of why such material or
        information is necessary, and (iv) information as to the steps to be
        taken if the person wishes to submit a request for review. Such
        notification will be given within 90 days after the claim is received by
        the Administrator (or within 180 days, if special circumstances require
        an extension of time for processing the claim, and if written notice of
        such extension and circumstances is given to such person within the
        initial 90-day period). If such notification is not given within such
        period, the claim will be considered denied as of the last day of such
        period and such person may request a review of his claim.

        (b) Review Procedure. Within 60 days after the date on which a person
        receives a written notice of a denied claim (or, if applicable, within
        60 days after the date on which such denial is considered to have
        occurred), such person (or his duly authorized representative) may (i)
        file a written request with the Administrator for a review of his denied
        claim and of pertinent documents and (ii) submit written issues and
        comments to the Administrator. The Administrator will notify such person
        of its decision in writing. Such notification will be written in a
        manner calculated to be understood by such person and will contain
        specific reasons for the decision as well as specific references to
        pertinent Plan provisions. The decision on review will be made within 60
        days after the request for review is received by the Administrator (or
        within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time
        for processing the request, such as an election by the Administrator to
        hold a hearing, and if written notice of such extension and
        circumstances is given to such person within the initial 60-day period).
        If the decision on review is not made within such period, the claim will
        be considered denied.

11.04. COSTS OF ADMINISTRATION. Unless some or all costs and expenses are paid
by the Employer, all reasonable costs and expenses (including legal, accounting,
and employee communication fees) incurred by the Administrator and the Trustee
in administering the Plan and Trust will be paid first from the forfeitures (if
any) resulting under Section 7.05, then from the remaining Trust Fund. All such
costs and expenses paid from the Trust Fund will, unless allocable to the
Accounts of particular Participants, be charged against the Accounts of all
Participants on a prorata basis or in such other reasonable manner as may be
directed by the Employer.
