its Subsidiaries who are largely responsible for the management, growth and
protection of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to retain
and reward Eligible Persons of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and strengthen
the mutuality of interests between such Eligible Persons and the Company's

                   (e)    "Eligible Persons" means all key employees, officers

SECTION 3.  Administration of the Plan
            --------------------------

            The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors or, in its
discretion, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
(such administering body being referred to herein as, the "Committee"), provided
that the Committee satisfies the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange
Act. Any action of the Committee in

                                       13

<PAGE>

administering the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons,
including the Company, its Subsidiaries, Eligible Persons, Participants,
persons claiming rights from or through Participants and stockholders of the
Company.

            Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full
and final authority in its discretion (a) to select those key employees from
among the Eligible Persons who will receive Options pursuant to the Plan
("Participants"); (b) to determine the number of shares of Common Stock for
which an Option will be granted and the terms and conditions of any Option
granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, restrictions as to
transferability or forfeiture, exercisability or settlement of an Option and
waivers or accelerations thereof, and waivers of, or modifications to,
performance conditions relating to an Option, based in each case on such
considerations as the Committee shall determine) and all other matters to be
determined in connection with an Option; (c) to correct any defect or supply any
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, and to adopt, amend and
rescind such rules, regulations, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as
it shall, from time to time, deem advisable; (d) to interpret the terms and
provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and any agreements
relating thereto); and (e) to otherwise supervise the administration of the
Plan. The Committee may delegate to officers or managers of the Company or any
Subsidiary, or to unaffiliated service providers, the authority, subject to such
terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform administrative functions and
to perform such other functions as the Committee may determine, to the extent
permitted under Rule 16b-3, Section 162(m) of the Code and applicable law.

SECTION 4.  Eligibility
            -----------

            Participants in the Plan shall be selected by the Committee in its
sole discretion from among the Eligible Persons of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

SECTION 5.  Plan Limitations; Stock Subject to the Plan
            -------------------------------------------

            Subject to the provisions of Section 9 hereof, the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock, available for issuance as Options or SARs
under the Plan shall not exceed 3,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares
of Common Stock which may be granted as Options or SARs to any Participant in
any calendar year shall not exceed 450,000 shares.

            No Option may be granted if the number of shares to which such
Option relates, when added to the number of shares previously issued under the
Plan and the number of shares which may then be acquired pursuant to other
outstanding, unexercised Options, exceeds the number of shares available for
issuance pursuant to the Plan. If any shares subject to an Option are forfeited
or such Option is settled in cash or otherwise terminates for any reason
whatsoever without an actual distribution of shares to the Participant, any
shares counted against the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to
the Plan with respect to such Option shall, to the extent of any such
forfeiture, settlement, or termination, again be available for Options under the
Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may adopt procedures for the
counting of shares relating to any Option to ensure appropriate counting, avoid
double counting, and provide for

                                       14

<PAGE>

adjustments in any case in which the number of shares actually distributed
differs from the number of shares previously counted in connection with such
Option.

SECTION 6.  Option Terms and Conditions
            ---------------------------

            (a) General. Options may be granted on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Section 6. Each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in
such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. In addition, the
Committee may impose on any Option or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant
or thereafter (subject to Section 9), such additional terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine,
including terms requiring forfeiture of Options in the event of termination of
employment by the Participant; provided, however, that the Committee shall
retain full power to accelerate or waive any such additional term or condition
as it may have previously imposed. All Options shall be evidenced by an Option
Agreement and Notice of Stock Option Grant.

            (b) Options. Options granted to Participants under the Plan shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional
terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the
Committee shall deem desirable:

                (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Option shall be
determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted, provided,
however, that the exercise price of an ISO may not be less than the Fair Market
Value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant (110% of such Fair
Market Value in the case of a grant of an ISO to a 10% stockholder of the
Company).

                (ii) Term of Options. The term of each Option shall, except as
provided herein, be for such period as may be determined by the Committee and
shall be indicated on the Optionee's Notice of Stock Option Grant, attached as
Schedule A to the Optionee's Stock Option Agreement; provided, however, that in
no event shall the term of any ISO exceed a period of ten (10) years from the
date of its grant (five years in the case of an award of an ISO to a 10%
stockholder of the Company) or such shorter period as may be applicable under
Section 422 of the Code.

                (iii) Exercisability; Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee
shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole
or in part, whether the exercise price shall be paid in cash or by the surrender
at Fair Market Value of Common Stock, or by any combination of cash and shares
of Common Stock, including, without limitation, cash, Common Stock, other
Options, or other property (including notes or other contractual obligations of
Participants to make payment on a deferred basis, such as through "cashless
exercise" arrangements, to the extent permitted by applicable law), and the
methods by which Common Stock will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to
Participants.

            No shares of Common Stock shall be issued until full payment
therefor has been made. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company) of the stock certificate

                                       15

<PAGE>

evidencing such Common Stock, and compliance with the applicable requirements,
if any, of Section 13(a), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other
rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to such Option.

                (iv) Incentive Stock Options. Options intended to be ISOs shall
be granted only to Participants who are key employees of the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company. The terms of any Option granted under the Plan as an
ISO shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code,
including, but not limited to, the requirement that no ISO shall be granted more
than ten (10) years after the effective date of the Plan.

                Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of
this Plan relating to ISOs shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall
any discretion or authority under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify
the Plan under Section 422 of the Code, or without the consent of the
Participant(s) affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422.

                (v) Non-Qualified Stock Options. NSOs may be granted to the
Company's or any Subsidiary of the Company's employees, officers, directors,
consultants and advisors.

SECTION 7.  Stock Appreciation Rights.
            -------------------------

            (a) Grant and Exercise. SARs may be granted in conjunction with all
or part of any Option granted under the Plan. In the case of a NSO, such rights
may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Option. In the
case of an ISO, such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such
Option.

            A SAR or applicable portion thereof granted with respect to a given
Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or
exercise of the related Option, subject to such provisions as the Committee may
specify at grant where a SAR is granted with respect to less than the full
number of shares covered by a related Option. A SAR may be exercised by a
Participant, subject to Section 7(b), in accordance with the procedures
established by the Committee for such purpose. Upon such exercise, the
Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner
prescribed in Section 7(b). Options relating to exercised SARs shall no longer
be exercisable to the extent that the related SARs have been exercised.

            (b) Terms and Conditions. SARs shall be subject to such terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be
determined from time to time by the Committee, including the following:

                (i) SARs shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to
the extent that Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance
with the provisions of Section 6, 8, 9 and this Section 7 of the Plan; provided,
however, that any SAR granted to a Participant subject to Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act subsequent to the grant of the related Option, and the exercise of
any SARs held by Participants who are subject to Section 16(b) of

                                       16

<PAGE>

the Exchange Act, shall comply with Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder, to the
extent applicable.

                (ii) Upon the exercise of a SAR, a Participant shall be entitled
to receive an amount in cash and/or shares of Stock equal in value to the excess
of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock over the option price per share
specified in the related Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares in
respect of which the SAR shall have been exercised, with the Committee having
the right to determine the form of payment. When payment is to be made in shares
of Stock, the number of shares to be paid shall be calculated on the basis of
the average of the last reported closing bid and asked prices on the New York
Stock Exchange, or, if the Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such
exchange, the last reported sales price, or in case no such reported sales price
is quoted on such day, the average of the last reported closing bid and asked
prices on the principal national securities exchange (including, for purposes
hereof, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. National Market) on
which the Stock is listed or admitted to trading, or, if it is not listed or
admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the last
high closing bid price and the low closing asked price as reported on an
inter-dealer quotation system during the applicable period referred to in Rule
16b-3 (e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In the absence of any available
public quotations for the Common Stock, the Board shall determine in good faith
the fair value of the Common Stock during the applicable period referred to in
Rule 16b-3 (e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, which determination shall be
set forth in a certificate by the Secretary of the Company.

                (iii) SARs shall be transferable only when and to the extent
that the underlying Option would be transferable under Section 10(d) of the
Plan.

                (iv) Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Option or part thereof to
which such SAR is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purpose
of the limitation set forth in Section 5 of the Plan on the number of shares of
Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, but only to the extent of the number
of shares issued under the SAR at the time of exercise based on the value of the
SAR at such time.

SECTION 8.  Additional Provisions Applicable to Options
            -------------------------------------------

            (a) Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Options. Options
granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted
either alone, in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for, any other
Option granted under the Plan or any option or other incentive granted under any
other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any business entity acquired by
the Company or any Subsidiary, or any other right of a Participant to receive
payment from the Company or any Subsidiary. If an Option is granted in
substitution for another option, the Committee shall require the surrender of
such other option in consideration for the grant of the new Option. Options
granted in addition to, or in tandem with, other Options may be granted either
as of the same time as, or a different time from, the grant of such other Option
or Options. The per share exercise price of any Option:

<PAGE>

                (i) granted in substitution for an outstanding Option shall be
not less than the lesser of (A) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock
at the date such substitute Option is granted or (B) such Fair Market Value at
that date, reduced to reflect the Fair Market Value at that date of the Option
required to be surrendered by the Participant as a condition to receipt of the
substitute Option; or

                (ii) retroactively granted in tandem with an outstanding Option,
shall not be less than the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock at the date of grant of the later Option or at the date of grant of the
earlier Option.

            (b) Exchange and Buy Out Provisions. The Committee may at any time
offer to exchange or buy out any previously granted Option for a payment in
cash, Common Stock, other Options (subject to Section 7(a)), or other property
based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine and
communicate to a Participant at the time that such offer is made.

            (c) Performance Conditions. The right of a Participant to exercise
any Option, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such performance
conditions as may be specified by the Committee.

            (d) Loan Provisions. With the consent of the Committee, and subject
at all times to laws and regulations and other binding obligations or provisions
applicable to the Company, the Company may make, guarantee, or arrange for a
loan or loans to a Participant with respect to the exercise of any Option or
other payment in connection with any Option, including the payment by a
Participant of any or all federal, state, or local income or other taxes due in
connection with any Option. Subject to such limitations, the Committee shall
have full authority to decide whether to make a loan or loans hereunder and to
determine the amount, terms, and provisions of any such loan or loans, including
the interest rate to be charged in respect of any such loan or loans, whether
the loan or loans are to be with or without recourse against the borrower, the
terms on which the loan is to be repaid and the conditions, if any, under which
the loan or loans may be forgiven.

            (e) Change of Control. Subject to the terms hereof, in the event of
a Change of Control of the Company, all Options granted under the Plan that are
still outstanding and not yet vested or exercisable shall become immediately
100% vested in each Participant, as of the first date that the definition of
Change of Control has been fulfilled, and shall be exercisable for the remaining
duration of the Option. All Options that are exercisable as of the effective
date of the Change of Control will remain exercisable for the remaining duration
of the Option.

SECTION 9.  Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization; Acceleration in Certain
            Events

            In the event that the Committee shall determine that any stock
dividend, recapitalization, forward split or reverse split, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or share exchange, or
other similar corporate transaction or event,

                                       18

<PAGE>

affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to
prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan,
then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or
all of (i) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock which may thereafter be
issued in connection with Options, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Common
Stock issuable in respect of outstanding Options, (iii) the aggregate number and
kind of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan, and (iv) the exercise
price relating to any Option or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a
cash payment with respect to any outstanding Option; provided, however, in each
case, that no adjustment shall be made which would cause the Plan to violate
Section 422(b)(1) of the Code with respect to ISOs or would adversely affect the
status of any Option as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of
the Code.

SECTION 10.  General Provisions
             ------------------

            (a) Changes to the Plan and Options. The Board of Directors of the
Company may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or the
Committee's authority to grant Options under the Plan without the consent of the
Company's stockholders or Participants, except that any such amendment,
alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination shall be subject to the
approval of the Company's stockholders if such stockholder approval is required
under Section 162(m) and/or Section 422 of the Code, or by any other federal or
state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted, and the
Board may otherwise, in its discretion, determine to submit other such changes
to the Plan to the stockholders for approval; provided, however, that without
the consent of an affected Participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation, or termination of the Plan may materially and adversely affect
the rights of such Participant under any Option theretofore granted and any
Option Agreement relating thereto. The Committee may waive any conditions or
rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate, any Option
theretofore granted and any Option Agreement relating thereto; provided,
however, that without the consent of an affected Participant, no such amendment,
alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination of any Option may
materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such
Option.

            The foregoing notwithstanding, any performance condition specified
in connection with an Option shall not be deemed a fixed contractual term, but
shall remain subject to adjustment by the Committee, in its discretion at any
time in view of the Committee's assessment of the Company's strategy,
performance of comparable companies, and other circumstances, except to the
extent that any such adjustment to a performance condition would adversely
affect the status of any Option as "performance-based compensation" under
Section 162(m) of the Code.

            (b) Duration of Plan. Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with
Section 10(a) above, the duration of the Plan shall be ten (10) years.

            (c) No Right to Option or Employment. No employee or other person
shall

                                       19

<PAGE>

have any claim or right to receive an Option under the Plan. Neither the Plan
nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any
right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary.

            (d) Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary is authorized to withhold
from any payment relating to the exercise of an Option under the Plan, including
from any payroll or other payment to a Participant amounts of withholding and
other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Option, and to
take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company
and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and
other tax obligations relating to any Option. This authority shall include
authority to withhold or receive Common Stock or other property and to make cash
payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant's tax obligations.

            (e) Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries. No Option or other
right or interest of a Participant under the Plan shall be pledged, encumbered,
or hypothecated to, or in favor of, or subject to any lien, obligation, or
liability of such Participants to, any party, other than the Company or any
Subsidiary, or assigned or transferred by such Participant otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Options and rights shall
be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or
his or her guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may, in its discretion, provide that Options (other than an Option
which is an ISO) be transferable, without consideration, to immediate family
members (i.e., children, grandchildren or spouse), to trusts for the benefit of
such immediate family members and to partnerships in which such family members
are the only partners. The Committee may attach to such transferability feature
such terms and conditions as it deems advisable.

            (f) No Rights to Options; No Stockholder Rights. No Participant
shall have any claim to be granted any Option under the Plan, and there is no
obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants. No Option shall confer
on any Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and
until Common Stock is duly issued or transferred to the Participant in
accordance with the terms of the Option.

            (g) Discretion. In exercising, or declining to exercise, any grant
of authority or discretion hereunder, the Committee may consider or ignore such
factors or circumstances and may accord such weight to such factors and
circumstances as the Committee alone and in its sole judgment deems appropriate
and without regard to the affect such exercise, or declining to exercise such
grant of authority or discretion, would have upon the affected Participant, any
other Participant, any employee, the Company, any Subsidiary, any stockholder or
any other person.

            (h) Effective Date. The Plan is effective as of December 5, 2000.

         All other TIA terms used in this Indenture that are defined by the TIA,
defined by TIA reference to another statute or defined by SEC rule have the
meanings assigned to them by such definitions.

         Section 1.4 Rules of Construction. Unless the context otherwise
requires:

         (1) a term has the meaning assigned to it;

                                       7
<PAGE>

         (2) an accounting term not otherwise defined has the meaning assigned
to it in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect
in the United States from time to time;

         (3) "or" is not exclusive;

         (4) "including" means including, without limitation; and

         (5) words in the singular include the plural, and words in the plural
include the singular.

         Section 1.5 Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to
be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or
by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of Holders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

         (b)      The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof.
Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such
signer's individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also
constitute sufficient proof of such signer's authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person
executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient.

         (c)      The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the register
for the Securities.

          (d)     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every
future Holder of the same Security and the holder of every Security issued upon
the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof
in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or
the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
upon such Security.

          (e)     If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the
Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a board resolution, fix in advance
a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act
may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at
the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the
purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion

                                       8
<PAGE>

of outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
and for that purpose the outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such
record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the
Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months
after the record date.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                 THE SECURITIES

         Section 2.1 Form and Dating. The Securities and the Trustee's
certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibits A-1
and A-2, which are a part of this Indenture. To the extent any provisions of the
Securities and this Indenture are in conflict, the provisions of this Indenture
shall control. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage (provided that any such notation,
legend or endorsement required by usage is in a form acceptable to the Company).
The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to the
Trustee in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

          (a)         144A/Regulation S Global Securities. The Securities are
being offered and sold (i) in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act
("Regulation S") or (ii) to "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in Rule
144A ("QIBs") in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"),
and shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1. Such Global Securities shall be
deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with
the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the
Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of participants in
the Depositary (and, in the case of Securities held in accordance with
Regulation S, registered with the Depositary for the accounts of designated
agents holding on behalf of the Euroclear S.A./N.V., as operator of the
Euroclear System ("Euroclear") or Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme
("Clearstream")), duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee
as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of a Global Security may
from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records
of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

          (b)         Global Securities in General. Each Global Security shall
represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and
each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding
Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of
outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions and conversions.

         Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Security
to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding
Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with
instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.12 hereof and
shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.

          (c)         Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(c) shall apply
only to Global Securities deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

         The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with
this Section 2.1(c), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global
Securities that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its
nominee, (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to
the Depositary's instructions and (c) shall bear legends substantially to the
following effect:

                  "UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN
                  AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST
                  COMPANY TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION
                  OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY
                  CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE
                  & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN
                  AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST
                  COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO CEDE &
                  CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN
                  AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST
                  COMPANY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF
                  FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS
                  WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE &
                  CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

                  TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED
                  TO TRANSFERS TO NOMINEES OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST
                  COMPANY OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH
                  SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF
                  THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS
                  MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH
                  IN ARTICLE TWO OF THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE
                  REVERSE HEREOF."

          (d)     Certificated Securities. In the event that the Securities are
issued as Certificated Securities, including pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(ii),
such Securities will be issued substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 attached
hereto.

         Section 2.2 Execution and Authentication. The Securities shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer. The signature of the Officer
on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

         Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were, at the time of the execution of the Securities, Officers of the
Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the

                                       10
<PAGE>

authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at
the date of authentication of such Securities.

         No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly
executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such
certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.

         The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Securities for original
issue in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300,000,000 upon one or more
Company Orders without any further action by the Company. The aggregate
principal amount of the Securities due at the Stated Maturity thereof
outstanding at any time may not exceed the amount set forth in the foregoing
sentence.

         The Securities shall be issued only in registered form without coupons
and only in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and any integral
multiple thereof.

         Section 2.3 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company
shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar"), an office or agency
where Securities may be presented for purchase or payment ("Paying Agent") and
an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion
("Conversion Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and
of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars,
one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion
agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent, including
any named pursuant to Section 4.5. The term Conversion Agent includes any
additional conversion agent, including any named pursuant to Section 4.5.

         The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or co-registrar (that is not also the
Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that
relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and
address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying
Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled
to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.7. The Company or any
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar,
Conversion Agent or co-registrar.

         The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Conversion
Agent and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities.

         Section 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money and Securities in Trust. Except
as otherwise provided herein, on or prior to each due date of payments in
respect of any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum
of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) or shares
of Common Stock if permitted under this Indenture, sufficient to make such
payments when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent
(other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in
trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money and shares of
Common Stock held by

                                       11
<PAGE>

the Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of the Securities and
shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such
payment. At any time during the continuance of any such default, the Paying
Agent shall, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the
Trustee all money and shares of Common Stock so held in trust. If the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate the money and shares of Common Stock held by it as Paying Agent and
hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money and shares of Common Stock held by it to the Trustee and
to account for any funds and Common Stock disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the
Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money or shares of Common
Stock.

         Section 2.5 Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it
of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee at
least semiannually on June 1 and December 1 a listing of Securityholders dated
within 15 days of the date on which the list is furnished and at such other
times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such
date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of
Securityholders.

         Section 2.6 Transfer and Exchange. (a) Subject to Section 2.12 hereof,
upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security, together with a
written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by
the Securityholder or such Securityholder's attorney duly authorized in writing,
at the office or agency of the Company designated as Registrar or co-registrar
pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination or
denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. The Company shall not
charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or
other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer
or exchange of the Securities from the Securityholder requesting such transfer
or exchange.

         At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other
Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged, together
with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by the Securityholder or such Securityholder's attorney duly authorized
in writing, at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities, which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

         The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not
register, transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except,
in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be
redeemed) or any Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Fundamental
Change Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture (except, in the case of Securities
to be purchased in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased) or any
Securities for a period of 15 days before the selection of Securities to be
redeemed in part.

                                       12
<PAGE>

          (b)     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long
as a Global Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the
Depositary, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made
only in accordance with Section 2.12 and this Section 2.6(b). Transfers of a
Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole
or in part, to the Depositary, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor
of the Depositary or such successor's nominee.

          (c)     Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and
exchanges as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such
registration shall be noted on the register for the Securities.

          (d)     Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall
provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in
connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or
exchange of Securities.

          (e)     No Registrar shall be required to make registrations of
transfer or exchange of Securities during any periods designated in the text of
the Securities or in this Indenture as periods during which such registration of
transfers and exchanges need not be made.

          (f)     If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or
replacement of Securities subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the
legends set forth on the forms of Security attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and
A-2 setting forth such restrictions (collectively, the "Legend"), or if a
request is made to remove the Legend on a Security, the Securities so issued
shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be,
unless there is delivered to the Company and the Registrar such satisfactory
evidence (which in the case of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act may include an Opinion of Counsel), as may be reasonably required
by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the Legend nor the restrictions
on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof
comply with the provisions of Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or that such Securities are not "restricted" within the meaning
of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory
evidence, or (ii) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of
the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that is effective
at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company,
shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Legend. If the
Legend is removed from the face of a Security and the Security is subsequently
held by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, the Legend shall be
reinstated.

         Section 2.7 Replacement Securities. If (a) any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and
there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as
may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated
Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new
Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a certificate number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

                                       13
<PAGE>

         In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the
Company pursuant to Article III hereof, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay or purchase such Security, as the case
may be.

         Upon the issuance of any new Securities under this Section 2.7, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

         Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any
and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

         The provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

         Section 2.8 Outstanding Securities; Determinations of Holders' Action
Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities
authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those paid
pursuant to Section 2.7, those delivered to it for cancellation and those
described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to
be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security;
provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned
by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the
Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected
in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing,
only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be
considered in any such determination (including, without limitation,
determinations pursuant to Articles VI and IX).

         If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

         If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a
Redemption Date, or on the Business Day following a Purchase Date or a
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, or on Stated Maturity, money or securities, if
permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then
immediately after such Redemption Date, Purchase Date, Fundamental Change
Purchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, such Securities shall
cease to be outstanding and interest, if any, on such Securities shall cease to
accrue; provided, that if such

                                       14
<PAGE>

Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given
pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has
been made.

         If a Security is converted in accordance with Article X, then from and
after the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding and
interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such Security.

         Section 2.9 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive
Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

         If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive
Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office
or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the
temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

         Section 2.10 Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment,
purchase by the Company pursuant to Article III, conversion, redemption or
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by
it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered
shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article X. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by
the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee's customary procedure.

         Section 2.11 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of
the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Security is
registered in the records of the Registrar as the owner of such Security for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of the Security or the payment of any
Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price in respect
thereof, and interest thereon, for the purpose of conversion and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

         Section 2.12 Global Securities. (a) Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, (A) transfers of a Global
Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section
2.6(b) and Section 2.12(a)(i), (B) transfers of a beneficial interest in a
Global Security for a Certificated Security shall comply with Section 2.6 and
Section 2.12(a)(ii) below, and (C) transfers of a Certificated Security shall
comply with Section 2.6 and Sections 2.12(a)(iii) and (iv) below.

                  (i)      Transfer of Global Security. A Global Security may
         not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any person other than the
         Depositary or one or more nominees or any successor thereof, and no
         such transfer to any such other person may be registered; provided that
         this clause (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is
         issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global
         Security. No transfer of a Security to any person shall be effective
         under this Indenture or the Securities unless and until such Security
         has been registered in the name of such person. Nothing in this Section
         2.12(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a
         beneficial interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with
         the other provisions of this Section 2.12(a).

                  (ii)     Restrictions on Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in
         a Global Security for a Certificated Security. A beneficial interest in
         a Global Security may not be exchanged for a Certificated Security
         except upon the circumstances contemplated in Section 2.12(e)(1) below
         and additionally, upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth
         below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a transfer of a beneficial
         interest in a Global Security in accordance with Applicable Procedures
         for a Certificated Security in the form satisfactory to the Trustee,
         together with:

                  (A)      so long as the Securities are Restricted Securities,
                           certification in the form set forth in Exhibit B,

                  (B)      written instructions to the Trustee to make, or
                           direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its
                           books and records with respect to such Global
                           Security to reflect a decrease in the aggregate
                           principal amount of the Securities represented by the
                           Global Security, such instructions to contain
                           information regarding the Depositary account to be
                           credited with such decrease, and

                  (C)      if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or
                           other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to
                           the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the
                           Legend,

         the Trustee shall cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in
         accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing
         between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal
         amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security to be
         decreased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated
         Security to be issued, shall issue such Certificated Security and shall
         debit or cause to be debited to the account of the person specified in
         such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to
         the principal amount of the Certificated Security so issued.

                  (iii)    Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities.
         When Certificated Securities are presented to the Registrar with a
         request:

                           (y)      to register the transfer of such
                  Certificated Securities; or

                           (z)      to exchange such Certificated Securities for
                  an equal principal amount of Certificated Securities of other
                  authorized denominations,

         the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as
         requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met;
         provided, however, that the Certificated Securities surrendered for
         transfer or exchange:

         (1)      shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument
                  of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
                  the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
                  attorney duly authorized in writing; and

         (2)      so long as such Securities are Restricted Securities, such
                  Securities are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an
                  effective registration statement under the Securities Act or
                  pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied
                  by the following additional information and documents, as
                  applicable:

                  (A)      if such Certificated Securities are being delivered
                           to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the
                           name of such Holder, without transfer, a
                           certification from such Holder to that effect; or

                  (B)      if such Certificated Securities are being transferred
                           to the Company, a certification to that effect; or

                  (C)      if such Certificated Securities are being transferred
                           pursuant to an exemption from registration, (i) a
                           certification to that effect (in the form set forth
                           in Exhibit B, if applicable) and (ii) if the Company
                           so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence
                           reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance
                           with the restrictions set forth in the Legend.

                  (iv)     Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Security
         for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Certificated Security
         may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security
         except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below.

                  Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Security, duly
         endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form
         satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

                  (I)      so long as the Securities are Restricted Securities,
         certification, in the form set forth in Exhibit B, that such
         Certificated Security is being transferred in accordance with Rule
         144A, Regulation S or Rule 144; and

                  (II)     written instructions directing the Trustee to make,
         or to direct the Registrar to make, an adjustment on its books and
         records with respect to such Global Security to

                                       17
<PAGE>

         reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
         represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain
         information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such
         increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Security and
         cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the
         standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary
         and the Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of Securities
         represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate
         principal amount of the Certificated Security to be exchanged, and
         shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the person
         specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global
         Security equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Security so
         cancelled. If no Global Securities are then outstanding, the Company
         shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of
         the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate, a new Global
         Security in the appropriate principal amount.

         (b)      Subject to the succeeding paragraph (c), every Security shall
be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend. Whenever any
Restricted Security is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
for exchange for a Security registered in a name other than that of the Holder,
such Security must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit B, dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of
such Security, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The
Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of transfer or
exchange any Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

         (c)      The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the
transferability of any Security shall cease and terminate when such Security has
been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any
successor provision thereto) or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the holding
period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act
(or any successor provision). Any Security as to which such restrictions on
transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have
terminated may, upon a surrender of such Security for exchange to the Registrar
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12 (accompanied, in the
event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a transfer
in compliance with Rule 144 or any successor provision, by an opinion of counsel
having substantial experience in practice under the Securities Act and otherwise
reasonably acceptable to the Company, addressed to the Company and in form
acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the transfer of such Security has
been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision), be exchanged
for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall
not bear the restrictive Legend. The Company shall inform the Trustee of the
effective date of any registration statement registering the Securities under
the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned
opinion of counsel or registration statement.

         (d)      As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 2.12,
the term "transfer" encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, loan, hypothecation,
or other disposition of any Security.

         (e)      The provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall
apply only to Global Securities:

                                       18
<PAGE>

         (1)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the
                  Securities, a Global Security shall not be exchanged in whole
                  or in part for a Security registered in the name of any person
                  other than the Depositary or one or more nominees or any
                  successor thereof, provided that a Global Security may be
                  exchanged for Securities registered in the names of any person
                  designated by the Depositary in the event that (i) the
                  Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or
                  unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or
                  such Depositary has ceased to be a "clearing agency"
                  registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary
                  is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, or (ii) an
                  Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect
                  to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to
                  clause (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in
                  part, and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause
                  (ii) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in
                  part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in
                  exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be
                  a Global Security; provided that any such Security so issued
                  that is registered in the name of a person other than the
                  Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security
                  and shall be deemed a Certificated Security.

         (2)      Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any
                  portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully
                  registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an
                  aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global
                  Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be
                  registered in such names and be in such authorized
                  denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear
                  the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global
                  Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the
                  Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any
                  Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global
                  Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the
                  Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its
                  nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal
                  amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the
                  portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate
                  adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such
                  surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and
                  deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the
                  order of the Depositary or an authorized representative
                  thereof.

         (3)      Subject to the provisions of clause (5) below, the registered
                  Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person,
                  including Agent Members (as defined below) and persons that
                  may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action
                  which a holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the
                  Securities.

         (4)      In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified
                  in clause (1) above, the Company will promptly make available
                  to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Certificated Securities
                  in definitive, fully registered form, without interest
                  coupons.

                                       19
<PAGE>

         (5)      Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary
                  (collectively, the "Agent Members") nor any other persons on
                  whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under
                  this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered
                  in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under
                  any such Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee,
                  as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee
                  and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute
                  owner and holder of such Global Security for all purposes
                  whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
                  shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the
                  Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
                  certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
                  Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as
                  between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other person
                  on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of
                  customary practices of such persons governing the exercise of
                  the rights of a holder of any Security.

         Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Company may issue the Securities with
one or more "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee
shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained
in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

         Section 2.14 Regulation S. The Company agrees that it will refuse to
register any transfer of Securities or any shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of Securities that is not made in accordance with the provisions of
Regulation S under the Securities Act, pursuant to a registration statement
which has been declared effective under the Securities Act or pursuant to an
available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;
provided that the provisions of this paragraph shall not be applicable to any
Securities which do not bear a Legend or to any shares of Common Stock evidenced
by certificates which do not bear a Restricted Common Stock Legend.

                                  ARTICLE III

                            REDEMPTION AND PURCHASES

         Section 3.1 Company's Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee. The Company,
at its option, may redeem the Securities in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5 of the Securities. If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant
to Section 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
Redemption Date, the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the
Redemption Price. The Company shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for
in Section 3.3 by a Company Order, at least 40 days before the Redemption Date
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

         Section 3.2 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all
the Securities are to be redeemed, unless the procedures of the Depositary
provide otherwise, the Trustee shall select

                                       20
<PAGE>

the Securities to be redeemed by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method
the Trustee considers fair and appropriate (so long as such method is not
prohibited by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Securities are then
listed). The Trustee shall make the selection at least 35 days but not more than
60 days before the Redemption Date from outstanding Securities not previously
called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the
principal amount of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000.
Securities and portions of Securities that the Trustee selects shall be in
principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of
this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to
portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of the Securities or portions of the Securities to be redeemed.
If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before
termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security
so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as
may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities, which have been
converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed, may be treated by the
Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

         Section 3.3 Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60
days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.
The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

         (1)      the Redemption Date;

         (2)      the Redemption Price;

         (3)      the Conversion Rate;

         (4)      the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

         (5)      that Securities called for redemption may be converted at any
time before the close of business on the date that is two (2) Business Days
prior to the Redemption Date;

         (6)      that Holders who want to convert their Securities must satisfy
the requirements set forth in Section 8 of the Securities;

         (7)      that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to
the Paying Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date to
collect the Redemption Price;

         (8)      if fewer than all of the outstanding Securities are to be
redeemed, the certificate numbers, if any, and principal amounts of the
particular Securities to be redeemed;

         (9)      that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such
Redemption Price, interest, if any, on Securities called for redemption will
cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

         (10)     the CUSIP number(s) of the Securities.

                                       21
<PAGE>

         At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's expense, provided that the
Company makes such request at least three Business Days prior to the date by
which such notice of redemption must be given to Holders in accordance with this
Section 3.3.

         Section 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption
is given, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the
Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice except for
Securities which are converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

         Section 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York
City time), on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying
Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is
the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than
Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which on or prior
thereto have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or
have been converted. The Paying Agent shall as promptly as practicable return to
the Company any money not required for that purpose because of conversion of
Securities pursuant to Article X. If such money is then held by the Company in
trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such
trust.

         Section 3.6 Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security
that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Security in an authorized
denomination equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security
surrendered.

         Section 3.7 Purchase of Securities by the Company at Option of the
Holder. (a) General. Securities shall be purchased by the Company pursuant to
Section 6 of the Securities at the option of the Holder on December 15, 2005,
December 15, 2009, December 15, 2013 and December 15, 2017 (each, a "Purchase
Date"), at the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on
such Purchase Date (the "Purchase Price"). Purchases of Securities hereunder
shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

         (1)      delivery to the Paying Agent by the Holder of a written notice
                  of purchase (a "Purchase Notice") during the period beginning
                  at any time from the opening of business on the date that is
                  20 Business Days prior to the relevant Purchase Date until the
                  close of business on the last Business Day prior to such
                  Purchase Date stating:

                  (A)      the certificate number of the Security which the
                           Holder will deliver to be purchased or the
                           appropriate Depositary procedures if Certificated
                           Securities have not been issued,

                  (B)      the portion of the principal amount of the Security
                           which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which
                           portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an
                           integral multiple thereof,

                                       22
<PAGE>

                  (C)      that such Security shall be purchased by the Company
                           as of the Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and
                           conditions specified in Section 6 of the Securities
                           and in this Indenture, and

                  (D)      in the event the Company elects, pursuant to Section
                           3.7(b), to pay the Purchase Price, in whole or in
                           part, in shares of Common Stock but such portion of
                           the Purchase Price shall ultimately be paid to such
                           Holder entirely in cash because any of the conditions
                           to payment of the Purchase Price in shares of Common
                           Stock is not satisfied prior to the close of business
                           on the last Business Day prior to the relevant
                           Purchase Date, as set forth in Section 3.7(d),
                           whether such Holder elects (i) to withdraw such
                           Purchase Notice as to some or all of the Securities
                           to which such Purchase Notice relates (stating the
                           principal amount and certificate numbers, if any, of
                           the Securities as to which such withdrawal shall
                           relate), or (ii) to receive cash in respect of the
                           entire Purchase Price for all Securities (or portions
                           thereof) to which such Purchase Notice relates; and

         (2)      delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent prior to, on or
                  after the Purchase Date (together with all necessary
                  endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent, such
                  delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the
                  Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Purchase
                  Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.7 only if
                  the Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in
                  all respects to the description thereof in the related
                  Purchase Notice, as determined by the Company.

         If a Holder, in such Holder's Purchase Notice and in any written notice
of withdrawal delivered by such Holder pursuant to the terms of Section 3.9,
fails to indicate such Holder's choice with respect to the election set forth in
clause (D) of Section 3.7(a)(1), such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to
receive cash in respect of the entire Purchase Price for all Securities subject
to such Purchase Notice in the circumstances set forth in such clause (D).

         The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this
Section 3.7, a portion of a Security, only if the principal amount of such
portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the
purchase of such portion of such Security.

         Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 3.7 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be
received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the
time of delivery of the Security.

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering
to the Paying Agent the Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.7(a)
shall have the right to withdraw such Purchase Notice at any time prior to the
close of business two Business Days prior to the Purchase Date by delivery of a
written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.9.

                                       23
<PAGE>

         The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it
of any Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

         (b)      Company's Right to Elect Manner of Payment of Purchase Price
for Payment. The Securities to be purchased on any Purchase Date pursuant to
Section 3.7(a) may be paid for, in whole or in part, at the election of the
Company, in U.S. legal tender ("cash") or shares of Common Stock, or in any
combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, subject to the conditions set
forth in Sections 3.7(c) and (d). The Company shall designate, in the Company
Notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.7(e), whether the Company will purchase
the Securities for cash or shares of Common Stock, or, if a combination thereof,
the percentages of the Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which it will
pay in cash or shares of Common Stock; provided that the Company will pay cash
for fractional shares of Common Stock. For purposes of determining the existence
of potential fractional interests, all Securities subject to purchase by the
Company held by a Holder shall be considered together (no matter how many
separate certificates are to be presented). Each Holder whose Securities are
purchased pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall receive the same percentage of cash
or shares of Common Stock in payment of the Purchase Price for such Securities,
except (i) as provided in Section 3.7(d) with regard to the payment of cash in
lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock and (ii) in the event that the Company
is unable to purchase the Securities of a Holder or Holders for shares of Common
Stock because any necessary qualifications or registrations of the shares of
Common Stock under applicable state securities laws cannot be obtained, the
Company may purchase the Securities of such Holder or Holders for cash. The
Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration (or
components or percentages of components thereof) to be paid once the Company has
given its Company Notice to Holders except pursuant to this Section 3.7(b) or
pursuant to Section 3.7(d) in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior to the
close of business two Business Days prior to the Purchase Date, any condition to
the payment of the Purchase Price, in whole or in part, in shares of Common
Stock.

         At least three Business Days before each Company Notice Date (as
defined below), the Company shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the
Trustee specifying:

                  (i)      the manner of payment selected by the Company,

                  (ii)     the information required by Section 3.7(e) in the
         Company Notice,

                  (iii)    if the Company elects to pay the Purchase Price, or a
         specified percentage thereof, in shares of Common Stock, that the
         conditions to such manner of payment set forth in Section 3.7(d) have
         been or will be complied with,

                  (iv)     whether the Company desires the Trustee to give the
         Company Notice required by Section 3.7(e), and

                  (v)      the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued
         and unpaid interest.

         (c)      Purchase with Cash. At the option of the Company, the Purchase
Price of Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice pursuant to Section
3.7(a) has been given, or a specified percentage thereof, may be paid by the
Company with cash equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of such Securities. The
Company Notice, as provided in Section 3.7(e), shall be

                                       24
<PAGE>

sent to Holders not less than 20 Business Days prior to such Purchase Date (the
"Company Notice Date").

         (d)      Payment by Issuance of shares of Common Stock. At the option
of the Company, the Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which a Purchase
Notice pursuant to Section 3.7(a) has been given, or a specified percentage
thereof, may be paid by the Company by the issuance of a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the portion of the
Purchase Price to be paid in shares of Common Stock by (ii) 95% in the case of
the first Purchase Date and 97.5% for each subsequent Purchase Date, of the
Market Price of one share of Common Stock as determined by the Company in the
Company Notice, subject to the next succeeding paragraph, except that accrued
and unpaid interest must be paid in cash.

         The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock in payment
of the Purchase Price. Instead, the Company will pay cash based on 95% or 97.5%
of the Market Price, as the case may be, for all fractional shares. For purposes
of determining the existence of potential fractional interests, all Securities
subject to purchase by the Company held by a Holder shall be considered together
(no matter how many separate certificates are to be presented).

         If the Company elects to purchase the Securities by the issuance of
shares of Common Stock, the Company Notice, as provided in Section 3.7(e), shall
be sent to the Holders not later than the Company Notice Date.

         The Company's right to exercise its election to purchase Securities
through the issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be conditioned upon:

                  (i)      the Company's not having given its Company Notice of
         an election to pay entirely in cash and its giving of timely Company
         Notice of an election to purchase all or a specified percentage of the
         Securities with shares of Common Stock as provided herein;

                  (ii)     the registration of such shares of Common Stock under
         the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in
         each case, if required by applicable law;

                  (iii)    the approval for quotation of such shares of Common
         Stock on The Nasdaq National Market or other principal U.S. exchange or
         market on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or traded;

                  (iv)     any necessary qualification or registration under
         applicable state securities laws or the availability of an exemption
         from such qualification and registration; and

                  (v)      the receipt by the Trustee by the Purchase Date of an
         Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that:

                  (A)      the terms of the issuance of the shares of Common
                           Stock are in conformity with this Indenture and

                  (B)      the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the
                           Company in payment of the Purchase Price in respect
                           of Securities have been duly authorized and,

                                       25
<PAGE>

                           when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of
                           this Indenture in payment of the Purchase Price in
                           respect of the Securities, will be validly issued,
                           fully paid and non-assessable and, to the best of
                           such counsel's knowledge, free from preemptive
                           rights, and, in the case of such Officers'
                           Certificate, stating that the conditions above and
                           the condition set forth in the second succeeding
                           sentence have been satisfied and, in the case of such
                           Opinion of Counsel, stating that the conditions in
                           clauses (ii) through (iv) above have been satisfied.
                           Such Officers' Certificate shall also set forth the
                           number of shares of Common Stock to be issued for
                           each $1,000 principal amount of Securities and the
                           Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock
                           on each trading day during the period commencing on
                           the first trading day of the period during which the
                           Market Price is calculated and ending on the third
                           trading day prior to the applicable Purchase Date.

         The Company may pay the Purchase Price (or any portion thereof) in
shares of Common Stock only if the information necessary to calculate the Market
Price is published in a daily newspaper of national circulation. If the
foregoing conditions are not satisfied with respect to a Holder or Holders prior
to the close of business on the last Business Day prior to the Purchase Date,
and the Company has elected to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Section
3.7 through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay the
entire Purchase Price of the Securities of such Holder or Holders in cash.

         The "Market Price" means the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices
of the shares of Common Stock for the 20 trading day period ending on the third
Business Day prior to the applicable Purchase Date (if the third Business Day
prior to the applicable Purchase Date is a trading day, or if not, then on the
last trading day prior to the third Business Day), appropriately adjusted to
take into account the occurrence, during the period commencing on the first of
the trading days during the 20 trading day period and ending on the Purchase
Date, of any event described in Sections 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9; subject,
however, to the conditions set forth in Sections 10.10 and 10.11.

         Upon determination of the actual number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued upon redemption of Securities, the Company will disseminate a press
release through PR Newswire containing this information or publish the
information on the Company's web site or through such other public medium as the
Company may use at that time.

         (e)      Notice of Election. In connection with any purchase of
Securities pursuant to Section 6 of the Securities, the Company shall give
notice to Holders setting forth information specified in this Section 3.7(e)
(the "Company Notice").

         In the event the Company has elected to pay the Purchase Price (or a
specified percentage thereof) with shares of Common Stock, the Company Notice
shall:

         (1)      state that each Holder will receive shares of Common Stock,
                  95% or 97.5%, as the case may be, of the Market Price
                  (determined as of a specified date prior to the Purchase Date)
                  of which shares will be equal to such specified percentage of

                                       26
<PAGE>

                  the Purchase Price of the Securities held by such Holder
                  (except any cash amount to be paid in lieu of fractional
                  shares);

         (2)      set forth the method of calculating the Market Price of the
                  shares of Common Stock; and

         (3)      state that because the Market Price of shares of Common Stock
                  will be determined prior to the Purchase Date, Holders of the
                  Securities will bear the market risk with respect to the value
                  of the shares of Common Stock to be received from the date
                  such Market Price is determined to the Purchase Date.

         In any case, each Company Notice shall include a form of Purchase
         Notice to be completed by a Holder and shall state:

                  (i)      the Purchase Price and the Conversion Rate;

                  (ii)     the name and address of the Paying Agent and the
         Conversion Agent;

                  (iii)    that Securities as to which a Purchase Notice has
         been given may be converted if they are otherwise convertible only in
         accordance with Article X hereof and Section 8 of the Securities if the
         applicable Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the
         terms of this Indenture;

                  (iv)     that Securities must be surrendered to the Paying
         Agent to collect payment;

                  (v)      that the Purchase Price for any security as to which
         a Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn will be paid
         promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the time of
         surrender of such Security as described in (iv);

                  (vi)     the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise its
         put rights under this Section 3.7 and a brief description of those
         rights;

                  (vii)    briefly, the conversion rights of the Securities;

                  (viii)   the procedures for withdrawing a Purchase Notice
         (including, without limitation, for a conditional withdrawal pursuant
         to the terms of Section 3.7(a)(1)(D) or Section 3.9);

                  (ix)     that, unless the Company defaults in making payment
         on Securities for which a Purchase Notice has been submitted, interest,
         if any, on such Securities will cease to accrue on the Purchase Date;
         and

                  (x)      the CUSIP number of the Securities.

         At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give such Company Notice in
the Company's name and at the Company's expense; provided, however, that, in all
cases, the text of

                                       27
<PAGE>

such Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company and provided to the Trustee
at least 3 Business Days in advance of the Company Notice Date.

         (f)      Covenants of the Company. All shares of Common Stock delivered
upon purchase of the Securities shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares,
shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and
shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

         (g)      Procedure upon Purchase. The Company shall deposit cash (in
respect of a cash purchases under this Section 3.7 or for fractional interests,
as applicable) or shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as
applicable, at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 3.10,
sufficient to pay the aggregate Purchase Price of all Securities to be purchased
pursuant to this Section 3.7. As soon as practicable after the later of the
Purchase Date and the time of surrender of the Security, the Company shall
deliver to each Holder entitled to receive shares of Common Stock through the
Paying Agent, a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable in payment of the Purchase Price and cash in lieu of any fractional
interests. The person in whose name the certificate for the shares of Common
Stock is registered shall be treated as a holder of record of Common Stock on
the Business Day following the date of delivery of such certificate as described
in the previous sentence. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on
the shares of Common Stock the record date for which occurred on or prior to the
Purchase Date.

         (h)      Taxes. If a Holder of a purchased Security is paid in shares
of Common Stock, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue
or transfer tax due on such issue of Common Stock. However, the Holder shall pay
any such tax which is due because the Holder requests the Common Stock to be
issued in a name other than the Holder's name. The Paying Agent may refuse to
deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in
a name other than the Holder's name until the Paying Agent receives a sum
sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares of Common Stock
are to be issued in a name other than the Holder's name. Nothing herein shall
preclude any income tax withholding required by law or regulations.

         Section 3.8 Purchase of Securities at Option of the Holder upon a
Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs, the Securities not
previously purchased by the Company shall be purchased by the Company, at the
option of the Holder thereof, at a purchase price specified in Section 6 of the
Securities (the "Fundamental Change Purchase Price"), as of the date that is 45
days after the date of the notice of Fundamental Change delivered by the Company
(the "Fundamental Change Purchase Date"), subject to satisfaction by or on
behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 3.8(c).

         A "Fundamental Change" shall be deemed to have occurred at such time
after the Securities are originally issued as any of the following events shall
occur:

                  (i)      any person acquires beneficial ownership, directly or
         indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction
         or series of transactions, of shares of the Company's Capital Stock
         entitling the person to exercise 50% or more of the total voting power
         of all shares of the Company's Capital Stock that are entitled to vote
         generally in

                                       28
<PAGE>

         elections of directors, other than an acquisition by the Company, any
         of its Subsidiaries or any of its employee benefit plans; or

                  (ii)     the Company merges or consolidates with or into any
         other person, any merger of another person into the Company, or the
         Company conveys, sells, transfers or leases all or substantially all of
         its assets to another person, other than any transaction:

                  (A)      that does not result in any reclassification,
                           conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding
                           shares of the Company's Capital Stock, or

                  (B)      pursuant to which the holders of Common Stock
                           immediately prior to the transaction have the
                           entitlement to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50%
                           or more of the total voting power of all shares of
                           Capital Stock entitled to vote generally in the
                           election of directors of the continuing or surviving
                           corporation immediately after the transaction, or

                  (C)      which is effected solely to change the Company's
                           jurisdiction of incorporation and results in a
                           reclassification, conversion or exchange of
                           outstanding shares of the Common Stock solely into
                           shares of common stock of the surviving entity; or

                  (iii)    any time the Company's Continuing Directors do not
         constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if
         applicable, a successor corporation to the Company).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.8, a Fundamental
Change shall not be deemed to have occurred if (A) the Last Reported Sale Price
per share of Common Stock for any five trading days within the period of 10
consecutive trading days ending immediately after the later of a Fundamental
Change or the public announcement of a Fundamental Change, in the case of a
Fundamental Change relating to an acquisition of Capital Stock, or the period of
10 consecutive trading days ending immediately before a Fundamental Change, in
the case of a Fundamental Change relating to a merger, consolidation or asset
sale, equals or exceeds 105% of the Conversion Price of the Securities in effect
on each of those trading days or (B) 95% or more of the consideration in a
merger or consolidation otherwise constituting a Fundamental Change under clause
(i) and/or clause (ii) above consists of shares of common stock traded on a
national securities exchange or quoted on The Nasdaq National Market (or will be
so traded or quoted immediately following the merger or consolidation) and as a
result of the merger or consolidation the Securities become convertible into
such common stock. For purposes of this Section 3.8, (x) whether a person is a
"beneficial owner" shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act and (y) "person" includes any syndicate or group that would be
deemed to be a "person" under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

         (b)      No later than 30 days after the occurrence of a Fundamental
Change, the Company shall mail a written notice of the Fundamental Change by

                  Purchase Notice, as the case may be, and which has been or
                  will be delivered for purchase by the Company.

Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be) and is continuing an
Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Purchase Price or
Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, with respect to such
Securities). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders
thereof any Securities (x) with respect to which a Purchase Notice or
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, has been withdrawn in
compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an
Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Purchase Price or
Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, with respect to such
Securities) in which case, upon such return, the Purchase Notice or Fundamental
Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been
withdrawn.

Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (local time in the City of New York) on the Purchase
Date or the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent,
shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount of cash
(in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) or Common
Stock, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay the aggregate Purchase Price or
Fundamental Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, of all the Securities or
portions thereof which are to be purchased as of the Purchase Date or
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be.

         Section 3.11 Securities Purchased in Part. Any Certificated Security
which is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the

Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) and

Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities,

principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal
amount of the Security so surrendered which is not purchased.

Securities. When complying with the provisions of Section 3.7 or 3.8 hereof
(provided that such offer or purchase constitutes an "issuer tender offer" for
purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any successor
provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or
purchase), the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e- 4 and Rule 14e-1 (or any
successor provision) under the Exchange Act, (ii) file the related Schedule TO
(or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act, and (iii)
otherwise comply with all Federal and state securities laws so as to permit the
rights and obligations under Sections 3.7 and 3.8 to be exercised in the time
and in the manner specified in Sections 3.7 and 3.8.

         Section 3.13 Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall return to the Company any cash or shares of Common Stock that remain
unclaimed as provided in Section 12 of the Securities, together with interest or
dividends, if any, thereon (subject to the provisions of Section 7.1(f)), held
by them for the payment of the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase
Price, as the case may be; provided, however, that to the extent that the
aggregate amount of cash or shares of Common Stock deposited by the Company
pursuant to Section 3.10 exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price or Fundamental
Change Purchase Price, as the case may be, of the Securities or portions thereof
which the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Purchase Date or
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, then, unless otherwise
agreed in writing with the Company, promptly after the Business Day following
the Purchase Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be, the

         Section 4.1 Payment of Securities. The Company shall promptly make all

Purchase Price, on the Business Day following the applicable Purchase Date or
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the case may be) the Trustee or the Paying
Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, cash or securities, if permitted
hereunder, sufficient to pay all such amounts then due.

         Section 4.2 SEC and Other Reports. The Company shall file with the
Trustee, within 15 days after it files such annual and quarterly reports,
information, documents and other reports with the SEC, copies of its annual
report and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such
portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations
prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In the event the Company is at any time
no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, it shall continue to provide the Trustee with reports containing
substantially the same information as would have been required to be filed with
the SEC had the Company continued to have been subject to such reporting
requirements. In such event, such reports shall be provided at the times the
Company would have been required to provide reports had it continued to have
been subject to such reporting requirements. The Company also shall comply with
the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). Delivery of such reports,
information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and
the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officers'
Certificates).

         Section 4.3 Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the
Trustee within 105 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company
(beginning with the fiscal year ending on January 31, 2002) an Officers'
Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers
thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of
the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and if the Company
shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status
thereof of which they may have knowledge.

         Section 4.4 Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee,
the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such
further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more
effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

         Section 4.5 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain
in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency of the
Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent where Securities may be
presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, purchase, redemption or conversion and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served. The office of Bank One Trust Company, N.A., 153 West
51st Street, New York, New York 10019 (Attention: Corporate Trust
Administration), shall initially be such office or agency for all of the
aforesaid purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of the location, and of any change in the location, of any such office or agency
(other than a change in the location of the office of the Trustee). If at any
time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the
Trustee set forth in Section 12.2.

         The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any
or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission

                                       34
<PAGE>

shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office
or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, for such purposes.

         Section 4.6 Delivery of Certain Information. At any time when the
Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the
request of a Holder or any beneficial owner of Securities or holder or
beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, or in
accordance with Section 3.8(c), the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be
furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder or any
beneficial owner of Securities or holder or beneficial owner of shares of Common
Stock, or to a prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such
holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit compliance by such
Holder or holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the
resale of any such security. "Rule 144A Information" shall be such information
as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. Whether a
person is a beneficial owner shall be determined by the Company to the Company's
reasonable satisfaction.

         Section 4.7 Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The Company and
each Holder will be deemed to have agreed (i) that for United States federal
income tax purposes the Securities will be treated as indebtedness subject to
the Treasury regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments, (ii)
that the Holders will report original issue discount and interest on the
Securities in accordance with the Company's determination of both the
"comparable yield" and the "projected payment schedule" and (iii) to be bound by
the Company's application of the Treasury regulations that govern contingent
payment debt instruments. For this purpose, the "comparable yield" for the
Securities is 8.85% compounded semi-annually and the "projected payment
schedule" is attached as Schedule A hereto. The Company shall file with the
Trustee no later than the end of each calendar year or at any other time as the
Trustee may request (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue
discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding
Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information
relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

                              SUCCESSOR CORPORATION

         Section 5.1 When Company May Merge or Transfer Assets. The Company
shall not, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions,
consolidate with or merge with or into any other person or convey, transfer,
sell or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
person, or permit any person to consolidate with or merge into the Company,
unless:

         (a)      either (1) the Company shall be the continuing corporation or
(2) the person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or into
which the Company is merged or the person which acquires by conveyance, transfer
or lease the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety
(i) shall be a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust
organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State
thereof or the District of Columbia and (ii) shall expressly assume, by an
indenture supplemental

                                       35
<PAGE>

hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and
this Indenture;

         (b)      immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event
of Default, and no event that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would
become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

         (c)      the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease and, if a supplemental indenture is
required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture,
comply with this Article V and that all conditions precedent herein provided for
relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

         For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale
or otherwise) of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries (other
than to the Company or another Subsidiary), which, if such assets were owned by
the Company, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

         The successor person formed by such consolidation or into which the
Company is merged or the successor person to which such conveyance, transfer or
lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every
right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if
such successor had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, except in
the case of a lease and obligations the Company may have under a supplemental
indenture pursuant to Section 10.14, the Company shall be discharged from all
obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities. Subject to
Section 9.6, the Company, the Trustee and the successor person shall enter into
a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such
successor person and such discharge and release of the Company.

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

         Section 6.1 Events of Default. An "Event of Default" occurs if:

         (1) the Company defaults in the payment (whether or not such payment is
prohibited by the subordination provisions set forth in Article XI of this
Indenture) of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on any
Security when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon
redemption, upon declaration, when due for purchase by the Company or otherwise;

         (2) the Company defaults in the payment (whether or not such payment is
prohibited by the subordination provisions set forth in Article XI of this
Indenture) of any interest (including contingent interest if then payable) or
Liquidated Damages when due and payable, and continuance of such default for a
period of 30 days;

                                       36
<PAGE>

         (3) the Company fails to deliver the shares of Common Stock upon an
appropriate election by Holders to convert the Securities into shares of Common
Stock, and continuance of such default for a period of 10 days;

         (4) the Company fails to comply in any material respect with any of its
agreements or covenants in the Securities or this Indenture (other than those
referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) above) and such failure continues for 60
days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default;

         (5) the Company fails to provide timely notice of any Fundamental
Change in accordance with Section 3.8(b);

         (6) a default under any credit agreement, mortgage, indenture or
instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or
evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Material
Subsidiary of the Company (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company
or any of its Material Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee
exists on the date of this Indenture or is created thereafter, which default (i)
is caused by a failure to pay when due any principal of such Indebtedness within
the grace period provided for in such Indebtedness (which failure continues
beyond any applicable grace period) (a "Payment Default") or (ii) results in the
acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity (without such
acceleration being rescinded or annulled) and, in each case, the principal
amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
such Indebtedness under which there is a Payment Default or the maturity of
which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10,000,000 or more and such Payment
Default is not cured or such acceleration is not annulled within 30 days after
receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default; or

         (7) a final, non-appealable judgment or final, non-appealable judgments
(other than any judgment as to which a reputable insurance company has accepted
full liability) for the payment of money are entered by a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction against the Company or any Material Subsidiaries of the
Company and remain unstayed, unbonded or undischarged for a period (during which
execution shall not be effectively stayed) of 60 days, provided that the
aggregate amount of all such judgments exceeds $10,000,000; or

         (8) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a
decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or
proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the
Company as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition by
one or more persons other than the Company seeking reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable
federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator or other similar official for the Company or for any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of
its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any
such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive
days; or

         (9) the commencement by the Company or any Material Subsidiary of the
Company of a case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case
or proceeding to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or

                                       37
<PAGE>

the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the
Company or any Material Subsidiary of the Company in a case or proceeding under
any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or
proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or
the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or

sequestrator or similar official of the Company or any Material Subsidiary of
the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of
an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of
its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of
corporate action by the Company or by any Material Subsidiary of the Company in
furtherance of any such action.

         A Default under clause (4) and (6) above is not an Event of Default
until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding notify the
Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Company does not cure such
Default (and such Default is not waived) within the time specified in clause (4)
above after actual receipt of such notice. Any such notice must specify the
Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a "Notice of
Default".

         The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after it
becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which with
the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would mature into a Event of
Default under clause (4), (5), (6), (7) or (8) above, its status and what action
the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

         Section 6.2 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) or (9)) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding by notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities to be immediately due and
payable. Upon such a declaration, such accelerated amount shall be due and
payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) or (9)
occurs and is continuing, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on all the Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice
to any other Securityholder) may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if
the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all
existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of the
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, that have become due
solely as a result of acceleration and if all amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 7.7 have been paid. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

         Section 6.3 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the
Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or
this Indenture.

                                       38
<PAGE>

         The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not
possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of the Securities in the
proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in
exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not
impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the
Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available
remedies are cumulative.

         Section 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, by notice
to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Securityholder), may waive an
existing Default and its consequences except (a) an Event of Default described
in Section 6.1(1), (2), or (3) or (b) a Default in respect of a provision that
under Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each Securityholder
affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. This
Section 6.4 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section
316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by
the TIA.

         Section 6.5 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However,
the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to
the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee's personal
liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity satisfactory to it. This
Section 6.5 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA and such Section
316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by
the TIA.

         Section 6.6 Limitation on Suits. A Securityholder may not pursue any
remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

         (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an
Event of Default is continuing;

         (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to
pursue the remedy;

         (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

         (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after
receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity; and

         (5) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

         A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
any other Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other
Securityholder.

                                       39
<PAGE>

         Section 6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of
the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest in
respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in the Securities or any Redemption Date, and to convert the
Securities in accordance with Article X, or to bring suit for the enforcement of
any such payment on or after such respective dates or the right to convert,
shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the consent of such Holder.

         Section 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default
described in Section 6.1(1) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
for the whole amount owing with respect to the Securities and the amounts
provided for in Section 7.7.

         Section 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the
Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective
of whether the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid
interest in respect of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee
shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any such amount)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise,

         (a)      to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the
principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest and to file
such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel or
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7) and of the Holders allowed
in such judicial proceeding, and

         (b)      to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount
due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee
under Section 7.7.

         Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

         Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to
this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

                  FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7;

                                       40
<PAGE>

                  SECOND: to holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent
         required by Article XI;

                  THIRD: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the
         Securities for the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and
         unpaid interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
         according to such amounts due and payable on the Securities; and

                  FOURTH: the balance, if any, to the Company.

         The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such
record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder and the Company a
notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

         Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of
any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit of
an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11
does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section
6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding. This Section 6.11 shall be in lieu of
Section 315(e) of the TIA and such Section 315(e) is hereby expressly excluded
from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

         Section 6.12 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or
forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal amount of
the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest or any interest on such amounts,
as contemplated herein, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                     TRUSTEE

         Section 7.1 Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it
by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.

         (b)      Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

                                       41

                  specifically set forth in this Indenture and no duties shall
                  be inferred or implied; and

         (2)      in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
                  conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
                  correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
                  certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
                  conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, but in case
                  of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision
                  hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the
                  Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
                  opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
                  requirements of this Indenture, but need not confirm or
                  investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or
                  other facts stated therein. This Section 7.1(b) shall be in
                  lieu of Section 315(a) of the TIA and such Section 315(a) is
                  hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted
                  by the TIA.

         (c)      The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

         (1)      this paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b)
                  of this Section 7.1;

         (2)      the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
                  made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it is
                  proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
                  pertinent facts; and

         (3)      the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it
                  takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a
                  direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5.

Subparagraphs (c)(1), (2) and (3) shall be in lieu of Sections 315(d)(1),
315(d)(2) and 315(d)(3) of the TIA and such Sections 315(d)(1), 315(d)(2) and
315(d)(3) are hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by
the TIA.

         (d)      Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to
the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 7.1.

         (e)      The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any
right or power or extend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.

         (f)      Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
(acting in any capacity hereunder) shall be under no liability for interest on
any money received by it hereunder unless otherwise agreed in writing with the
Company.

         Section 7.2       Rights of Trustee. Subject to its duties and
responsibilities under the TIA (as modified by Section 7.1),

         (a)      the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice,

                                      42
<PAGE>

request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

         (b)      whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee
shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking,
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence
be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its
part, conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

         (c)      the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder;

         (d)      The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken,
suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers conferred under this Indenture;

         (e)      The Trustee may consult with counsel selected by it and any

         (f)      the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture,
unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby;

         (g)      any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein
shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any
resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a board
resolution;

         (h)      the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but
the Trustee, in its reasonable discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee
shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be
entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company during
business hours and without material interruption to operations of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall
incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such
inquiry or investigation;

         (i)      the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default
or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a
default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture;

                                      43
<PAGE>

         (j)      the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits
given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each
of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other person
employed to act hereunder; and

         (k)      the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture,
which Officers' Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an
Officers' Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

         Section 7.3       Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion
Agent or co-registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee
must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

         Section 7.4       Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the
Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company's use or application of
the proceeds from the Securities, it shall not be responsible for any statement
in the registration statement for the Securities under the Securities Act or in
any offering document for the Securities, the Indenture or the Securities
(other than its certificate of authentication), or the determination as to
which beneficial owners are entitled to receive any notices hereunder.

         Section 7.5       Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and if it is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder notice of the
Default within 60 days after it occurs or, if later, within 15 days after it is
known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived
before the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
except in the case of a Default described in Section 6.1(1) or (2), the Trustee
may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the
interests of Securityholders. The second sentence of this Section 7.5 shall be
in lieu of the proviso to Section 315(b) of the TIA and such proviso is hereby
expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA. The Trustee
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default.

         Section 7.6       Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after
each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such May
15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a), if required by such Section 313(a).
The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b).

         A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders
shall be filed with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the
Securities are listed. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee promptly
whenever the Securities become listed on any securities exchange and of any
delisting thereof.

         Section 7.7       Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees:

                                      44
<PAGE>

         (a)      to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as
the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all
services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited (to
the extent permitted by law) by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

         (b)      to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses, advances and disbursements of its agents and
counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be caused by
its negligence or bad faith; and

         (c)      to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their
agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, claim,
liability, cost or expense (including attorney's fees and expenses, and taxes
(other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the
Trustee)) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of
or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including
the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted
by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

         To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay the principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on particular Securities.

         The Company's payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall
survive the discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the
Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default
specified in Section 6.1(5) or (6), the expenses including the reasonable
charges and expenses of its counsel, are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

         Section 7.8       Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign by so
notifying the Company; provided, however, no such resignation shall be
effective until a successor Trustee has accepted its appointment pursuant to
this Section 7.8. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities at the time outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying
the Trustee and the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

         (1)      the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

         (2)      the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

         (3)      a receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or
                  its property; or

         (4)      the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

         If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint, by
resolution of its Board of Directors, a successor Trustee.

                                      45
<PAGE>

         A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company satisfactory in form and
substance to the retiring Trustee and the Company. Thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held
by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.7.

         If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at
the time outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the
expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         Section 7.9       Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be
the successor Trustee.

         Section 7.10      Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at
all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(b). The
Trustee (or its parent holding company) shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published
annual report of condition. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Trustee
from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate
paragraph of TIA Section 310(b).

         Section 7.11      Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a) excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

                                 ARTICLE VIII

                             DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

         Section 8.1       Discharge of Liability on Securities. When (i) the
Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than
Securities replaced or repaid pursuant to Section 2.7) for cancellation or (ii)
all outstanding Securities have become due and payable and the Company deposits
with the Trustee cash (and/or, as permitted by this Indenture, shares of Common
Stock) sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding
Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.7), and if in
either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company,
then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 7.7, cease to be of further
effect. The Trustee shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the

                                      46
<PAGE>

Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of
the Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and
at the cost and expense of the Company.

         Section 8.2       Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying
Agent shall return to the Company upon written request any money or securities
held by them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Securities that
remains unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law.
After return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must
look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable
abandoned property law designates another person and the Trustee and the Paying
Agent shall have no further liability to the Securityholders with respect to
such money or securities for that period commencing after the return thereof.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                   AMENDMENTS

         Section 9.1       Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the
Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any

provided that such modification or amendment does not materially and adversely
affect the interests of the holders of the Securities;

         (2)      to make any changes that the Company and the Trustee may deem
necessary or desirable, provided such amendment or modification does not
materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Securities;

         (3)      to comply with Article V or Section 10.14;

         (4)      to secure the Company's obligations or add any guarantee
under the Securities and this Indenture;

         (5)      to add Events of Default with respect to the Securities;

         (6)      to add to the Company's covenants for the benefit of the
Securityholders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company;

         (7)      to make any change necessary for the registration of the
Securities under the Securities Act or to comply with the TIA, or any amendment
thereto, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the
qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, provided that such modification
or amendment does not materially and adversely affect the interests of the
holders of the Securities; or

         (8)      to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in
place of certificated Securities or to provide for bearer Securities.

         Section 9.2       With Consent of Holders. With the written consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding, the Company and the Trustee may amend this
Indenture or the Securities. However, without the consent of each
Securityholder affected, an amendment to this Indenture or the Securities may
not:

         (1)      reduce the interest rate or the rate of accrual of contingent
interest referred to in paragraph 1 of the Securities or change the time for
payment of interest thereon;

         (2)      reduce the principal amount of or extend the Stated Maturity
of any Security;

         (3)      reduce the calculation of the value of the Securities to
which reference is made in determining whether a Contingent Interest will be
made on the Securities, or change the method by which this value is calculated;

         (4)      reduce the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Fundamental
Change Purchase Price of any Security or change the time at which the
Securities may or must be redeemed or repurchased;

         (5)      make any payments on the Securities payable in currency other
than as stated in the Security;

         (6)      make any change in the percentage of the principal amount of
Securities necessary to waive compliance with the provisions of Section 6.4,
Section 6.7 or this Section 9.2, except to increase any percentage set forth
therein;

         (7)      make any change that adversely affects the right to convert
any Security in accordance with the terms thereof and this Indenture;

         (8)      make any change that adversely affects the right to require
the Company to purchase the Securities in accordance with the terms thereof and
this Indenture;

         (9)      impair a Holder's right to institute suit for the enforcement
of any payment on the Securities;

         (10)     waive a continuing Default or Event of Default regarding any
payment on the Securities; or

         (11)     make any change that adversely effects the Holders' rights
under Section 3.7, Section 3.8 or Article X.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this
Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

         After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to each Holder a notice briefly describing the amendment.

<PAGE>

         Section 9.3       Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every
supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall comply with the
TIA.

         Section 9.4       Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and
Actions. Until an amendment, waiver or other action by Holders becomes
effective, a consent thereto by a Holder of a Security hereunder is a
continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security
or portion of the Security that evidences the same obligation as the consenting
Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not
made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke
the consent, waiver or action as to such Holder's Security or portion of the
Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment, waiver or action becomes effective. After an amendment, waiver or
action becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder.

         Section 9.5       Notation on or Exchange of Securities. Securities
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such
supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so
modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of
Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by
the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for
outstanding Securities.

         Section 9.6       Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures. The
Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this
Article IX if the amendment contained therein does not adversely affect the
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the
Trustee may, but need not, sign such supplemental indenture. In signing such
supplemental indenture the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to the
provisions of Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

         Section 9.7       Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the
execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture
shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture
shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of
Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder
shall be bound thereby.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                  CONVERSIONS

         Section 10.1      Conversion Privilege. A Holder of a Security may
convert such Security into shares of Common Stock at any time during the period
stated in Section 8 of the Securities. The number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of a Security per $1,000 of principal amount thereof
(the "Conversion Rate") shall be that set forth in Section 8 of the Securities,
subject to adjustment as herein set forth. The Company shall publish the
information on the Company's web site or through such other public medium as
the Company may use at that time and notify the Trustee (which shall in turn
notify the Holders promptly upon receipt of such notification from the Company)
of the date on which the Securities first become convertible and the date on
which the Securities first cease to be convertible (and, if the Securities
cease to be

                                      49
<PAGE>

convertible at any time or from time to time, of the first date thereafter on
which the Securities again become convertible or cease to be convertible),
which notification shall set forth the calculations on which such determination
was made.

         A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount of a Security
if the portion converted is in a $1,000 principal amount or an integral
multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of
all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.

         In the event that the Ex-Dividend Time (as defined below) (or in the
case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification, the effective date with
respect thereto) with respect to a dividend, subdivision, combination or
reclassification to which Section 10.6(1), (2), (3) or (4) applies occurs
during the period applicable for calculating "Average Sale Price" pursuant to
the definition in Section 10.7 below, "Average Sale Price" shall be calculated
for such period in a manner determined by the Board of Directors to reflect the
impact of such dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification on the
Last Reported Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during such period.

         "Time of Determination" means the time and date of the earlier of (i)
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive rights, warrants or
options or a distribution, in each case, to which Section 10.7 or 10.8 applies
and (ii) the time ("Ex-Dividend Time") immediately prior to the commencement of
"ex-dividend" trading for such rights, warrants or options or distribution on
The Nasdaq National Market or such other U.S. national or regional exchange or
market on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted.

         Section 10.2      Conversion Procedure. To convert a Security a Holder
must satisfy the requirements in Section 8 of the Securities. The first Business
Day on which the Holder satisfies all those requirements and submits such
Holder's Securities for conversion is the conversion date (the "Conversion
Date").

         As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, the Company shall
deliver to the Holder, through the Conversion Agent, a certificate for the
number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange
and cash in lieu of any fractional share determined pursuant to Section 10.3.
The person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a
shareholder of record as of the close of business on the Conversion Date. Upon
conversion of a Security in its entirety, such person shall no longer be a
Holder of such Security.

         No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on, or other
distributions with respect to, any shares of Common Stock except as provided in
this Article X. On conversion of a Security, except as provided below with
respect to interest payable on Securities or portions thereof converted after a
Regular Record Date, (x) that portion of accrued and unpaid interest on the
converted Securities attributable to the period from the most recent Interest
Payment Date through the Conversion Date and (y) that portion of accrued and
unpaid contingent interest, if any, shall not be cancelled, extinguished or
forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof
through delivery of the shares of Common Stock (together with the cash payment,
if any, in lieu of fractional shares) for the Security being converted pursuant
to the provisions hereof. The Company will not adjust the conversion rate to
account for accrued

                                      50
<PAGE>

interest, if any. If the Holder converts more than one Security at the same
time, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall
be based on the total principal amount of the Securities converted.

         The Securities or portions thereof surrendered for conversion during
the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening
of business on the date on which such interest is payable shall (unless such
Securities or portions thereof have been called for redemption on a Redemption
Date within such period) be accompanied by payment to the Company or its order,
in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of
an amount equal to the interest payable on such interest payment date on the
principal amount of the Securities or portions thereof being surrendered for
conversion.

         If the last day on which a Security may be converted is a Legal
Holiday, the Security may be surrendered on the next succeeding day that is not
a Legal Holiday.

         Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a
new Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the
unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.

         Section 10.3      Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue
fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a Security. Instead, the
Company will pay cash based on the current Market Price for all fractional
shares. The current market value of a fractional share shall be determined, to
the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, by multiplying the Last Reported Sale Price
on the last trading day immediately prior to the Conversion Date, of a full
share by the fractional amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole
cent. It is understood that if a Holder elects to have more than one Security
converted, the number of shares of Common Stock shall be based on the aggregate
principal amount of Securities to be converted.

         Section 10.4      Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder submits a Security
for conversion, the Company shall pay all stamp and all other duties, if any,
which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof
or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax
which is due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name
other than the Holder's name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name
other than the Holder's name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum
sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued
in a name other than the Holder's name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax
withholding required by law or regulations.

         Section 10.5      Company to Provide Stock. The Company shall, prior
to issuance of any Securities under this Article X, and from time to time as
may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of
the Securities.

         All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities
shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly and validly
issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive
rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

                                      51
<PAGE>

The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all federal and state
securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock
upon conversion of Securities, if any, and will list or cause to have quoted
such shares of Common Stock on each national securities exchange or in the
over-the-counter market or such other market on which the shares of Common
Stock are then listed or quoted.

         Section 10.6      Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. If, after
the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company:

         (1)      pays a dividend or makes another distribution to all holders
of its Common Stock payable exclusively in shares of its Common Stock;

         (2)      subdivides the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a
greater number of shares of Common Stock;

         (3)      combines the outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock; or

         (4)      issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of
Capital Stock,

then the conversion privilege and the Conversion Rate in effect immediately
prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of a Security
thereafter converted may receive the number of shares of Capital Stock of the
Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action if
such Holder had converted the Security immediately prior to the record date for
such action.

         The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record
date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

         If after an adjustment a Holder of a Security upon conversion of such
Security may receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock of the
Company, the Conversion Rate shall thereafter be subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of an action taken with respect to any such class of Capital Stock
as is contemplated by this Article X with respect to the shares of Common
Stock, on terms comparable to those applicable to shares of Common Stock in
this Article X.

         Section 10.7      Adjustment for Rights Issue. Except as provided in
Section 10.11, if after the Issue Date of the Securities, the Company
distributes any rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of
shares of its Common Stock entitling them to purchase shares of Common Stock at
a price per share less than the Average Sale Price as of the Time of
Determination, unless the Holders of Securities may participate in the
distribution without conversion on a basis and with the notice that the
Company's Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate, the
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

                                      52
<PAGE>

                  R'   =   R  x     (O + N)
                                ---------------
                                (O + (N x P)/M)

         where:

                  R'     =    the adjusted Conversion Rate.

                  R      =    the current Conversion Rate.

                  O      =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
                              on the record date for the distribution to which
                              this Section 10.7 is being applied.

                  N      =    the number of additional shares of Common Stock
                              offered pursuant to the distribution.

                  P      =    the offering price per share of the additional
                              shares.

                  M      =    the Average Sale Price, minus, in the case of
                              (i) a distribution to which Section 10.6(4)
                              applies or (ii) a distribution to which Section
                              10.8 applies, for which, in each case, (x) the
                              record date shall occur on or before the record
                              date for the distribution to which this Section
                              10.7 applies and (y) the Ex-Dividend Time shall
                              occur on or after the date of the Time of
                              Determination for the distribution to which this
                              Section 10.7 applies, the fair market value (on
                              the record date for the distribution to which
                              this Section 10.7 applies) of the:

         (1)      Capital Stock of the Company distributed in respect of each
share of Common Stock in such Section 10.6(4) distribution; and

         (2)      the Company's debt, securities or assets or certain rights,
warrants or options to purchase securities of the Company distributed in
respect of each share of Common Stock in such Section 10.8 distribution.

         The Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market
values for the purposes of this Section 10.7, except as Section 10.8 otherwise
provides in the case of a Spin-off.

         "Average Sale Price" means the average of the Last Reported Sales
Prices of the shares of Common Stock for the shorter of:

                  (i)      30 consecutive trading days ending on the last full
         trading day prior to the Time of Determination with respect to the
         rights, warrants or options or distribution in respect of which the
         Average Sale Price is being calculated;

                  (ii)     the period (x) commencing on the date next
         succeeding the first public announcement of (a) the issuance of
         rights, warrants or options or (b) the distribution, in each case, in
         respect of which the Average Sale Price is being calculated and (y)
         proceeding through the last full trading day prior to the Time of
         Determination with respect to the rights, warrants or options or
         distribution in respect of which the Average Sale Price is being
         calculated (excluding days within such period, if any, which are not
         trading days); or

                                      53
<PAGE>

                  (iii)    the period, if any, (x) commencing on the date next
         succeeding the Ex-Dividend Time with respect to the next preceding (a)
         issuance of rights, warrants or options or (b) distribution, in each
         case, for which an adjustment is required by the provisions of Section
         10.7, 10.8 or 10.9 and (y) proceeding through the last full trading
         day prior to the Time of Determination with respect to the rights,
         warrants or options or distribution in respect of which the Average
         Sale Price is being calculated (excluding days within such period, if
         any, which are not trading days).

         In the event that the Ex-Dividend Time (or in the case of a
subdivision, combination or reclassification, the effective date with respect
thereto) with respect to a dividend, subdivision, or combination or
reclassification to which Section 10.6(1), (2), (3) or (4) applies occurs
during the period applicable for calculating "Average Sale Price" pursuant to
the definition in the preceding sentence, "Average Sale Price" shall be
calculated for such period in a manner determined by the Board of Directors of
the Company to reflect the impact of such dividend, subdivision, combination or
reclassification on the Sales Price of the shares of Common Stock during such
period.

         The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the rights,
warrants or options to which this Section 10.7 applies. If all of the shares of
Common Stock subject to such rights, warrants or options have not been issued
when such rights, warrants or options expire, then the Conversion Rate shall
promptly be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had
the adjustment upon the issuance of such rights, warrants or options been made
on the basis of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the
exercise of such rights, warrants or options.

         No adjustment shall be made under this Section 10.7 if the application
of the formula stated above in this Section 10.7 would result in a value of R'
that is equal to or less than the value of R.

         Section 10.8      Adjustment for Other Distributions. Except as
provided in Section 10.11, if, after the Issue Date of the Securities, the
Company distributes to all holders of its shares of Common Stock any of its
debt, securities or assets or any rights, warrants or options to purchase
securities of the Company (including securities or cash, but excluding (x)
distributions of Capital Stock referred to in Section 10.6 and distributions of
rights, warrants or options referred to in Section 10.7 and (y) cash dividends
or other cash distributions that do not exceed the per share amount of the
immediately preceding regular cash dividend on the Common Stock as adjusted to
reflect any of the events described in Section 10.6 or 10.7 and other cash
dividends or distributions unless such other cash dividends or cash
distributions are Extraordinary Cash Dividends) and unless the Holders of
Securities may participate in the distribution without conversion, the
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of this Section 10.8, in accordance with the formula:

                                      54
<PAGE>

                               R'  =   R x M
                                      -------
                                      (M - F)

         where:

                  R'     =    the adjusted Conversion Rate.

                  R      =    the current Conversion Rate.

                  M      =    the Average Sale Price.

                  F      =    the fair market value (on the record date for
                              the distribution to which this Section 10.8
                              applies) of the assets, securities, rights,
                              warrants or options to be distributed in respect
                              of each share of Common Stock in the distribution
                              to which this Section 10.8 is being applied
                              (including, in the case of cash dividends or
                              other cash distributions giving rise to an
                              adjustment, all such cash distributed
                              concurrently).

         In the event the Company distributes shares of Capital Stock of a
Subsidiary, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted, if at all, based on the
market value of the Subsidiary stock so distributed relative to the market
value of the Common Stock, as discussed below. The Board of Directors of the
Company shall determine fair market values for the purposes of this Section
10.8, except that in respect of a dividend or other distribution of shares of
Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or
relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a "Spin-off"),
the fair market value of the securities to be distributed shall equal the
average of the daily Last Reported Sales Prices of those securities for the 20
consecutive trading days commencing on and including the 21st day of trading of
those securities after the effectiveness of the Spin-off and the Average Sales
Prices shall mean the average of the Last Reported Sales Prices for the
Company's Common Stock for the same 20 trading days. In the event, however,
that an underwritten initial public offering of the securities in the Spin-off
occurs simultaneously with the Spin-off, fair market value of the securities
distributed in the Spin-off shall mean the initial public offering price of
such securities and the Average Sale Price, for purposes of this sentence,
shall mean the Last Reported Sales Price for the Company's Common Stock on the
same trading day.

         The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the distribution
to which this Section 10.8 applies, except that an adjustment related to a
Spin-off shall become effective at the earlier to occur of (i) 10 trading days
after the effective date of the Spin-off and (ii) the initial public offering
of the securities distributed in the Spin-off.

         For purposes of this Section 10.8, the term "Extraordinary Cash
Dividend" shall mean all all-cash distributions to all or substantially all
holders of the Company's Common Stock made within the 365 days preceding the
Time of Determination (or the period from the Issue Date to the Time of
Determination if such period is shorter than 365 days) not triggering a
Conversion Rate adjustment (other than payments made to redeem rights issued
under any present or future rights agreement of the Company and cash dividends
or other cash distributions that do not exceed the per share amount of the
immediately preceding regular cash dividend on the Common Stock), to the extent
such aggregate amount exceeds an amount equal to 15% of the Sale Price of the
Company's Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on
which the Company declares the distribution times the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such day.

                                      55
<PAGE>

         If, upon the date prior to the Ex-Dividend Time with respect to a cash
dividend on the shares of Common Stock, the aggregate amount of such cash
dividend together with the amounts of all cash dividends and distributions
referred to in the definition of Extraordinary Cash Dividend gives rise to an
adjustment of the Conversion Rate, then such cash dividend together with all
such other cash dividends and distributions shall, for purposes of applying the
formula set forth above in this Section 10.8, cause the value of "F" to equal
(y) the aggregate amount of such cash dividend and other cash dividends and
distributions, minus (z) the aggregate amount of all cash dividends or other
cash distributions during the preceding 365 days for which an adjustment in the
Conversion Rate was previously made.

         In the event that, with respect to any distribution to which this
Section 10.8 would otherwise apply, the difference "M-F" as defined in the
above formula is less than $1.00 or "F" is equal to or greater than "M", then
the adjustment provided by this Section 10.8 shall not be made and in lieu
thereof the provisions of Section 10.15 shall apply to such distribution.

         Section 10.9      Adjustment for Self Tender Offer. If, after the
Issue Date of the Securities, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company pays
holders of the Company's Common Stock in respect of a tender or exchange offer,
other than an odd-lot offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, for the
Company's Common Stock (excluding stock options) consideration per share of
Common Stock having a fair market value, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive, in
excess of 110% of the Market Price of the Common Stock as of the first Business
Day (the "Measurement Date") next succeeding the last Business Day tenders or
exchanges may be made pursuant to the offer (the "Expiration Time"), the
Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate
determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to
the effectiveness of the Conversion Rate adjustment contemplated by this
Section 10.9 by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the
fair market value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based
on the acceptance of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn
as of the Expiration Time up to the maximum specified in the tender or exchange
offer (the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and
the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Measurement
Date, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the
Expiration Time (including the Purchased Shares) multiplied by the Last
Reported Sale Price of one share of Common Stock on the Measurement Date. Such
reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business
on the day following the Measurement Date.

         Section 10.10     When Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment in
the Conversion Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate. Any adjustments
that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment.

         All calculations under this Article X shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be.

                                      56
<PAGE>

         Section 10.11     When No Adjustment Required. No adjustment to the
Conversion Rate need be made as a result of:

         (1)      upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to
any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or
interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional
optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

         (2)      upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or
rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee,
director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries; or

         (3)      upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to
any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible
security outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued.

         To the extent the Securities become convertible pursuant to this
Article X in whole or in part into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter
as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.

         Section 10.12     Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate
is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders a notice of the
adjustment. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent
such notice briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner
of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the
adjustment is correct. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be
under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to
exhibit the same to any Holder desiring inspection thereof.

         Section 10.13     Voluntary Increase. The Company from time to time
may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount at any time for at least 20
days, so long as the increase is irrevocable during such period. Whenever the
Conversion Rate is increased, the Company shall mail to Securityholders and
file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice of the increase. The
Company shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the increased
Conversion Rate takes effect. The notice shall state the increased Conversion
Rate and the period it will be in effect. A voluntary increase of the
Conversion Rate does not change or adjust the Conversion Rate otherwise in
effect for purposes of Section 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8.

         Section 10.14     Notice of Certain Transactions. If:

         (1)      the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment
in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9 (unless no
adjustment is to occur pursuant to Section 10.11); or

         (2)      the Company takes any action that would require a
supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 10.16; or

         (3)      there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company;

                                      57
<PAGE>

then the Company shall mail to Holders and file with the Trustee and the
Conversion Agent a notice stating the proposed record date for a dividend,
distribution or subdivision or the proposed effective date of a combination,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, transfer,
liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall file and mail the notice at least
15 days before such date. Failure to file or mail the notice or any defect in
it shall not affect the validity of the transaction.

         Section 10.15     Reorganization of Company; Special Distributions.
If the Company is a party to a transaction subject to Section 5.1 (other than a
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in a transaction
in which the holders of shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such
transaction do not receive securities, cash or other assets of the Company or
any other person) or a merger or binding share exchange which reclassifies or
changes its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the person obligated to deliver
securities, cash or other assets upon conversion of Securities shall enter into
a supplemental indenture. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon
conversion of Securities is an Affiliate of the successor Company, that issuer
shall join in the supplemental indenture.

         The supplemental indenture shall provide that the Holder of a Security
may convert it into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets
which such Holder would have received immediately after the consolidation,
merger, binding share exchange or transfer if such Holder had converted the
Security immediately before the effective date of the transaction, assuming (to
the extent applicable) that such Holder (i) was not a constituent person or an
Affiliate of a constituent person to such transaction; (ii) made no election
with respect thereto; and (iii) was treated alike with the plurality of non-
electing Holders. The supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments
which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments
provided for in this Article X. The successor Company shall mail to
Securityholders a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture.

         If this Section applies, neither Section 10.6 nor 10.7 applies.

         If the Company makes a distribution to all holders of its shares of
Common Stock of any of its assets, or debt securities or any rights, warrants
or options to purchase securities of the Company that, but for the provisions
of the last paragraph of Section 10.8, would otherwise result in an adjustment
in the Conversion Rate pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.8, then, from
and after the record date for determining the holders of shares of Common Stock
entitled to receive the distribution, a Holder of a Security that converts such
Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture shall upon such
conversion be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock
into which the Security is convertible, the kind and amount of securities, cash
or other assets comprising the distribution that such Holder would have
received if such Holder had converted the Security immediately prior to the
record date for determining the holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to
receive the distribution.

         Section 10.16     Company Determination Final. Any determination that
the Company or the Board of Directors must make pursuant to Section 10.3, 10.6,
10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11, 10.15 or 10.17 is conclusive, absent manifest
error.

         Section 10.17     Trustee's Adjustment Disclaimer. The Trustee has no
duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article X should be made, how
it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee has no duty to determine
whether a supplemental indenture under Section 10.15 need be entered into or
whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or
value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities. The
Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company's failure to comply with this
Article X. Each Conversion Agent shall have the same protection under this
Section 10.17 as the Trustee. All calculations required under Article X shall
be performed by the Company, with notice thereof to the Trustee.

         Section 10.18     Simultaneous Adjustments. In the event that this
Article X requires adjustments to the Conversion Rate under more than one of
Sections 10.6(4), 10.7 or 10.8, and the record dates for the distributions
giving rise to such adjustments shall occur on the same date, then such
adjustments shall be made by applying, first, the provisions of Section 10.6,
second, the provisions of Section 10.8 and, third, the provisions of Section
10.7.

         Section 10.19     Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate under this Article X, any subsequent event requiring an
adjustment under this Article X shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate as so adjusted.

         Section 10.20     Restriction on Common Stock Issuable Upon
Conversion.

         (1)      Shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the
Securities prior to the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement shall
be physically delivered in certificated form to the holders converting such
Securities, and the certificate representing such shares of Common Stock shall
bear the Restricted Common Stock Legend unless removed in accordance with
Section 10.20(3).

         (2)      If (i) shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of
a Security prior to the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement are to
be registered in a name other than that of the holder of such Security or (ii)
shares of Common Stock represented by a certificate bearing the Restricted
Common Stock Legend are transferred subsequently by such holder, then, unless
the Shelf Registration Statement has become effective and such shares are being
transferred pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the holder must
deliver to the transfer agent for the Common Stock a certificate in
substantially the form of Exhibit D as to compliance with the restrictions on
transfer applicable to such shares of Common Stock, and neither the transfer
agent nor the registrar for the Common Stock shall be required to register any
transfer of such Common Stock not so accompanied by a properly completed
certificate.

         (3)      Except for transfers in connection with a Shelf Registration
Statement, if certificates representing shares of Common Stock are issued upon
the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of any other certificate
representing shares of Common Stock bearing the Restricted Common Stock Legend,
or if a request is made to remove such Restricted Common Stock Legend from
certificates representing shares of Common Stock, the certificates so issued
shall bear the Restricted Common Stock Legend, or the Restricted Common Stock
Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to
the Company such satisfactory evidence, which, in the case of a transfer made
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act,

                                      59
<PAGE>

may include an opinion of counsel as may be reasonably required by the Company,
that neither the legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are
required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule
144A, Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act or that such shares of
Common Stock are securities that are not "restricted" within the meaning of
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon provision to the Company of such
reasonably satisfactory evidence, the Company shall cause the transfer agent
for the Common Stock to countersign and deliver certificates representing
shares of Common Stock that do not bear the legend.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                 SUBORDINATION

         Section 11.1      Terms and Conditions of Subordination. The Company,
for itself and its successors, and each Holder, by its acceptance of
Securities, agree that the payment of the principal of or interest on or any
other amounts due on the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the
extent and in the manner stated in this Article XI, to the prior payment in
full of all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company. The
Debentures shall rank pari passu with, and shall not be senior in right of
payment to such other Indebtedness of the Company whether outstanding on the
date of this Indenture or hereafter created, incurred, issued or guaranteed by
the Company, where the instrument creating or evidencing such Indebtedness
expressly provides that such Indebtedness ranks pari passu with the Debentures.

         The Debentures shall be subordinate in right of payment to all
existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company. The payment of the
principal of, interest on or any other amounts due on the Debentures is
subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all existing
and future Senior Indebtedness. No payment on account of principal of,
redemption of, interest on or any other amounts due on the Debentures,
including, without limitation, any payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price, and no redemption, purchase or other acquisition of the Debentures may
be made, including a purchase on a Purchase Date pursuant to Article III
hereof, except payments comprised solely of Permitted Junior Securities, if:

         (a)      a default in the payment of Designated Senior Indebtedness
occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable period of grace (for purposes of
this Article XI, "Payment Default"); or

         (b)      a default other than a Payment Default on any Designated
Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing that permits the holders of
Designated Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity, and the trustee
receives a notice of such default (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from the
Company or from any holder of Designated Senior Indebtedness or such holder's
representative (a "Non-Payment Default"), but only for the period (the "Payment
Blockage Period") commencing on the date of receipt of the Payment Blockage
Notice and ending (unless earlier terminated by notice given to the Trustee by
the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness) (a) in the case of a
Payment Default, upon the date on which such Payment Default is cured or waived
or ceases to exist, and (b) in the case of a Non-Payment Default, the earliest
of the date on which such Non-Payment Default is cured or waived or ceases to
exist or 180 days from the date notice is received, if the maturity of the
Designated Senior Indebtedness has not

                                      60
<PAGE>

been accelerated. Upon termination of the Payment Blockage Period, payments on
account of principal of or interest on the Securities (other than, subject to
Section 11.2 hereof, amounts due and payable by reason of the acceleration of
the maturity of the Securities) and redemptions, purchases or other
acquisitions shall be made by or on behalf of the Company.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, only one Payment Blockage Notice with
respect to the same event of default or any other events of default existing or
continuing at the time of notice on the same issue of Designated Senior
Indebtedness may be given and no new Payment Blockage Period may be commenced
by the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness unless 360 consecutive days
have elapsed since the initial effectiveness of the immediately preceding
Payment Blockage Notice.

         If the Trustee or any Holder of Securities receives any payment or
distribution of the Company's assets of any kind in contravention of any of the
terms hereof, whether in cash, property or securities, in respect of the
Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, then the payment or
distribution will be held by the recipient in trust for the benefit of holders
of Senior Indebtedness, and will be immediately paid over or delivered to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives to
the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness
remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution, or provision therefor, to or for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness.

         Section 11.2      Distribution on Acceleration of Securities;
Dissolution and Reorganization.

         (1)      If the Debentures are declared due and payable because of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company or the Trustee shall give prompt
written notice to the holders of all Senior Indebtedness or to the trustee(s)
for such Senior Indebtedness of such acceleration.

         (2)      Upon (i) any acceleration of the principal amount due on the
Debentures because of an Event of Default or (ii) any distribution of assets of
the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of
the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or
upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other dissolution,
winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company):

         (a)      the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be
entitled to receive payment in full of the principal thereof, the interest
thereon and any other amounts due thereon before the Holders are entitled to
receive payment on account of the principal of or interest on or any other
amounts due on the Securities, except payments comprised solely of Permitted
Junior Securities;

         (b)      any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than
Permitted Junior Securities), to which the holders or the Trustee would be
entitled except for the provisions of this Article XI, shall be paid by the
liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such a payment or
distribution, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their
representatives(s) or trustee(s) acting on their behalf), ratably according to
the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of or
interest on and other amounts due on the Senior Indebtedness held or
represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after

                                      61
<PAGE>

giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness; and

         (c)      in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities (other than payments comprised solely of Permitted
Junior Securities), shall be received by the Trustee or the holders before all
Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be held
in trust for the benefit of, and be paid over to upon request by a holder of
the Senior Indebtedness, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness remaining
unpaid (or their representatives) or trustee(s) acting on their behalf, ratably
as aforesaid, for application to the payment of such Senior Indebtedness until
all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect
to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness.

         Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders
shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to
receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the
Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and
interest on the Securities shall be paid in full and, for purposes of such
subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of cash, property or securities which otherwise would have been
payable or distributable to Holders shall, as between the Company, its
creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders, be
deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior
Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article XI are
and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the
Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other
hand.

         Nothing contained in this Article XI or elsewhere in this Indenture or
in the Securities is intended to or shall (i) impair, as between the Company
and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the
principal of and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become
due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Securities or (ii) affect
the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than
holders of Senior Indebtedness or, as between the Company and the Trustee, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee, or (iii) prevent the Trustee or the
Holders from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article
XI of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property and
securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

         Upon distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article
XI, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of
the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the
Trustee or to the Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled
to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and
other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent
thereto or to this Article XI. The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe
any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing contained in
this Article XI or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities
shall prevent the good faith application by the Trustee of any moneys which
were deposited with it hereunder, prior to its receipt of written notice of
facts which would prohibit

                                      62
<PAGE>

such application, for the purpose of the payment of or on account of the
principal of or interest on, the Securities unless, prior to the date on which
such application is made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall be charged with
notice under Section 11.2(4) hereof of the facts which would prohibit the
making of such application.

         (3)      The provisions of this Article XI shall not be applicable to
any cash, properties or securities received by the Trustee or by any Holder
when received as a holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in the Indenture
or this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or such Holder of any of its rights
as such holder.

         (4)      The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment
of money to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the
provisions of this Article XI. The Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no
such fact exists unless the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness or any
trustee therefor has given such notice to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article XI or any other provisions of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any fact which
would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in
respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions in this Article XI,
unless, and until three Business Days after, the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof from the Company or any holder or holders of Senior
Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any
such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled in all respects conclusively
to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if on a date not less than
three Business Days immediately preceding the date upon which by the terms
hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the principal of or interest on any Note), the Trustee shall not
have received with respect to such monies the notice provided for in this
Section 11.2(4), then anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive
such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received,
and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received
by it on or after such prior date.

         The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a
written notice by a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such
notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on
behalf of any such holder or holders). In the event that the Trustee determines
in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of
any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article VIII, the Trustee may request such person
to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the
amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, the extent to which such
person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other
facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Article XI, and, if
such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such
person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive

                      [FORM OF REVERSE OF GLOBAL SECURITY]

                2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2021

1.       Interest.

         Except as provided below, this Security shall bear interest at a rate
of 2% per year on the principal amount hereof, from December 10, 2001 or from
the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which payment has
been paid or duly provided for, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and
December 15 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date") to the persons in
whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on June 1
and December 1 (each a "Regular Record Date") (whether or not a Business Day),
as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest
on the Securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months.

         Interest on Securities converted after a record date, but prior to the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, will be paid to the Holder of the
Securities on the Regular Record Date but, upon conversion, the Holder must pay
the Company the interest which has accrued and will be paid on such Interest
Payment Date. No such payment needs to be made with respect to Securities that
will be redeemed after a Regular Record Date and prior to the corresponding
Interest Payment Date.

         If the principal amount of a Security, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, or any portion thereof, is not paid when due (whether upon
acceleration pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Indenture, upon the date set for
payment of the Redemption Price pursuant to Section 5 hereof, upon the date set
for payment of the Purchase Price or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price
pursuant to Section 6 hereof, or upon the Stated Maturity of this Security),
then, in each such case, the overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by
law, bear interest at a rate of 2% per year, compounded semi-annually, which
interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was originally due to
the date of payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made
or duly provided for. All such interest shall be payable on demand and shall be
based on a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

         Contingent Interest. The interest rate on the Securities will be 2%
per year through December 15, 2005. If the average of the Last Reported Sale
Prices of a Security for the 20 trading days ending on the second trading day
preceding any June 15 or December 15, as applicable, commencing December 15,
2005 is greater than or equal to 120% of the principal amount of the Security,
then the Company shall pay contingent interest for the six-month period
beginning on such June 15 or December 15. If contingent interest is payable for
a particular six-month period (each a "Contingent Interest Period"), the
Company shall pay contingent interest per Security in an amount equal to the
greater of (1) Cash Dividends paid by the Company per share on Common Stock
during the six month period in which a contingent interest is payable,
multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
a Security pursuant to paragraph 8 below and (2) 0.15% of the average of the
Last Reported Sale Prices of a Security for the 20 trading days ending on the
second trading day preceding such June 15 or December 15.

                                     A-1-4
<PAGE>

         Contingent interest, if any, will accrue and be payable to Holders as
of the record date for the related Cash Dividend or, if no Cash Dividend is
paid by the Company during any quarter within a Contingent Interest Period, to
Holders as of the 15th day preceding the last day of the relevant Contingent
Interest Period. Such payments shall be paid on the payment date of the related
Cash Dividend or, if no Cash Dividend is paid by the Company during any quarter
within a Contingent Interest Period, on the last day of the relevant Contingent
Interest Period. Pursuant to the foregoing provisions, in any Contingent
Interest Period in which contingent interest is payable, the Company shall: (a)
upon the first payment date for a Cash Dividend falling within such Contingent
Interest Period pay the Cash Dividend paid by the Company per share of Common
Stock upon such date multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into
which a Security is convertible pursuant to paragraph 8 below as of such date;
(b) upon any subsequent payment date for a Cash Dividend falling within such
Contingent Interest Period, or if no other subsequent payment date for a Cash
Dividend falls within such Contingent Interest Period, on the last day of such
period, pay the greater of (x) the subsequent Cash Dividend paid by the Company
per share of Common Stock upon such date multiplied by the number of shares of
Common Stock into which a Security is convertible pursuant to paragraph 8 below
as of such date or (y) 0.15% of the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
a Security for the 20 trading days ending on the second trading day preceding
such June 15 or December 15 minus the amounts previously paid in respect of
such Security pursuant to clause (a) during such Contingent Interest Period and
(c) if no payment date for a Cash Dividend falls within such Contingent
Interest Period, on the last date of such period, pay 0.15% of the average of
the Last Reported Sale Prices of a Security for the 20 trading days ending on
the second trading day preceding such June 15 or December 15.

         "Cash Dividends", for purposes of this paragraph 2, means all cash
dividends on the Company's Common Stock (whether regular, periodic,
extraordinary, special, nonrecurring or otherwise) as declared by the Company's
Board of Directors.

         Upon determination that Holders will be entitled to receive contingent
interest which may become payable during a Contingent Interest Period, on or
prior to the first day of such Contingent Interest Period, the Company shall
issue a press release through PR Newswire or publish the information on the
Company's web site or through such other public medium as the Company may use
at that time.

2.       Method of Payment.

         Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will
make payments in cash in respect of Redemption Prices, Purchase Prices,
Fundamental Change Purchase Prices and at Stated Maturity to Holders who
surrender Securities to the Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of
the Securities, provided that the Company may make payments in shares of Common
Stock or combination of cash and Common Stock in respect of the Purchase Price
on a Purchase Date, as provided for in Section 3.7 of the Indenture. The
Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the
Company may make such cash payments by check payable in such money.

<PAGE>

3.       Paying Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar.

         Initially, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. shall act as Bid Solicitation
Agent, and Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (the "Trustee") will act as Paying
Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any
Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar without notice, other than notice
to the Trustee; provided that the Company will maintain at least one Paying
Agent in the State of New York, City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, which
shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion
Agent or Registrar.

4.       Indenture; Subordination.

         The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of
December 10, 2001 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and the Trustee. The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in
effect from time to time (the "TIA"). Capitalized terms used herein and not
defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The
Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to
the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms. To the extent any
provisions of this Security and the Indenture conflict, the provisions of the
Indenture shall control.

         The Securities are limited to $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount.
The Securities are the Company's unsecured obligations and will be subordinated
in right of payment to all of the Company's existing and future Senior
Indebtedness and effectively subordinated to all existing and future
Indebtedness and other liabilities of the Subsidiaries. The Securities will
rank equally in right of payment to any of the Company's existing and future
subordinated indebtedness, including the Company's 5% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due 2003. The Indenture does not limit other indebtedness of the
Company, secured or unsecured.

5.       Redemption at the Option of the Company.

         No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. The Securities are
redeemable at the option of the Company in whole or in part, on or after
December 20, 2005 upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice by mail
for a cash price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price").

6.       Purchase By the Company at the Option of the Holder.

         Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company
shall become obligated to purchase, at the option of the Holder, all or any
portion of the Securities held by such Holder on any Purchase Date in integral
multiples of $1,000, at a Purchase Price equal to the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Purchase Date. To exercise such
right, a Holder shall deliver to the Company a Purchase Notice containing the
information set forth in the Indenture at any time from the opening of business
on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to such Purchase Date until the
close of business on the last Business Day prior to such Purchase Date, and
shall deliver the Securities to the Paying Agent as set forth in the Indenture.

                                     A-1-6
<PAGE>

         The Purchase Price may be paid, at the option of the Company, in cash
or by the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock, or in any
combination thereof, provided that accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid in
cash.

         At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of
the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to offer to purchase the
Securities held by such Holder within 30 days (which purchase shall occur 45
days after the date of such offer) after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change
for a Fundamental Change Purchase Price equal to the principal amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date,
which Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid in cash.

         Holders have the right to withdraw any Purchase Notice or Fundamental
Change Purchase Notice, as the case may be, by delivering to the Paying Agent a
written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture.

         If cash (and/or shares of Common Stock if permitted under the
Indenture) sufficient to pay the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase
Price, as the case may be, of all Securities or portions thereof to be
purchased on the Purchase Date or the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as the
case may be, is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Purchase Date or the
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, interest ceases to accrue on such Securities
or portions thereof immediately after such Purchase Date or Fundamental Change
Purchase Date, and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such other
than the right to receive the Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Purchase
Price upon surrender of such Security.

7.       Notice of Redemption.

         Notice of redemption pursuant to Section 5 of this Security will be
mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to
each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at the Holder's registered address. If
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Securities or portions
thereof to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying
Agent prior to or on the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on such
Securities or portions thereof immediately after such Redemption Date.
Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 of principal amount may be
redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $1,000 of principal amount.

8.       Conversion.

         Holders may surrender Securities for conversion into shares of Common
Stock if the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for
the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date is greater than or
equal to a specified percentage, beginning at 120% and declining 1/2% each year
until it reaches 110% at maturity, of the Conversion Price on such Conversion
Date.

         In the event that the Conversion Rate must be adjusted because the
Company declares a dividend or distribution described in Section 10.7 of the
Indenture or a dividend or a distribution described in Section 10.8 of the
Indenture where the fair market value of such dividend or distribution per
share of Common Stock, as determined in the Indenture, exceeds 15% of the Sale
Price of a share of Common Stock as of the Business Day prior to the date of
declaration for

                                     A-1-7
<PAGE>

such distribution, unless the Holder may participate in this distribution
without conversion, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion beginning
on the date the Company gives notice to the Holders of such right, which shall
be not less than 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Time for such dividend or
distribution, and the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time
thereafter until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
Ex-Dividend Time or until the Company announces that such distribution will not
take place.

         In the event the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or
binding share exchange pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock would be
converted into cash, securities or other property (other than if such property
consists of shares of voting common stock of the surviving person that are, or
upon issuance will be, traded on a United States national securities exchange
or approved for trading on an established automated over-the-counter trading
market in the United States, and such shares represent at least 95% of the
aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of such
property), the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from
and after the date which is 15 days prior to the date the Company announces as
the anticipated effective time until 15 days after the actual date of such
transaction.

         Finally, the Securities are convertible if the long-term credit
ratings assigned to the Securities by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group are reduced two notches below Ba3 and BB+,
respectively, or if either service, or their successors, no longer rates the
Securities.

         A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Purchase
Notice or Fundamental Change Purchase Notice exercising the option of such
Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only
if such notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture.

         The initial Conversion Rate is 16.7997 shares of Common Stock per
$1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in certain events
described in the Indenture. A Holder that surrenders Securities for conversion
will receive cash or a check in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock.

         To surrender a Security for conversion, a Holder must (1) complete and
manually sign the irrevocable conversion notice below (or complete and manually
sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion
Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent, (3) furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) pay any transfer or
similar tax, if required.

         A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the principal amount
of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. No payment or
adjustment will be made for dividends on the shares of Common Stock except as
provided in the Indenture. Except as provided in Section 1 hereof, on
conversion of a Security, the Holder will not receive any cash payment
representing accrued interest with respect to the converted Securities.
Instead, upon conversion the Company will deliver to the Holder a fixed number
of shares of Common Stock and any cash payment to account for fractional
shares. Accrued interest will be deemed paid in full rather than canceled,
extinguished or forfeited. The Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to
account for accrued interest.

                                     A-1-8
<PAGE>

         The Conversion Rate will be adjusted as provided in Article X of the
Indenture. The Company may increase the Conversion Rate for at least 20 days,
so long as the increase is irrevocable during such period.

         If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share
exchange or a transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or upon
certain distributions described in the Indenture, then at the effective time of
the transaction the right to convert a Security into shares of Common Stock may
be changed into a right to convert it into securities, cash or other assets of
the Company or another person.

9.       Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption.

         Any Securities called for redemption, unless surrendered for
conversion before the close of business on the day that is two Business Days
prior to the Redemption Date, may be deemed to be purchased from the Holders of
such Securities at an amount not less than the Redemption Price, by one or more
investment bankers or other purchasers who may agree with the Company to
purchase such Securities from the Holders, to convert them into shares of
Common Stock and to make payment for such Securities to the Trustee in trust
for such Holders.

10.      Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

         The Securities are in fully registered form, without coupons, in
minimum denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and integral multiples of
$1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange the Securities in accordance with the
Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer
or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be
redeemed) or any Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in
the case of a Security to be purchased in part, the portion of the Security not
to be purchased) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before the mailing
of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed.

11.      Persons Deemed Owners.

         The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of
this Security for all purposes.

12.      Unclaimed Money or Securities.

         The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company upon
written request any money or securities held by them for the payment of any
amount with respect to the Securities that remains unclaimed for two years,
subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After return to the Company,
Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to the Company for
payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law
designates another person.

13.      Amendment; Waiver.

         Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the
Indenture or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
at the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults may be waived with the
written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities at the time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth
in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the
Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities among other things, (i) to
cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, provided that such
modification or amendment does not materially and adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Securities, (ii) to comply with Article X or
Section 10.14 of the Indenture, (iii) to secure the Company's obligations or to
add any guarantee under the Securities and the Indenture; (iv) to add to the
covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any
right or power conferred upon the Company, (v) to add Events of Default with
respect to the Securities; (vi) to make any change necessary for the
registration of the Securities under the Securities Act or to comply with the
TIA, or any amendment thereto, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in
connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, provided that
such modification or amendment does not materially and adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Securities, (vii) to provide for uncertificated
Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities or to provide
for bearer Securities or (viii) to make any modifications or amendments that
the Company and the Trustee may deem necessary or desirable, provided such
amendment or modification does not materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of the Securities.

14.      Defaults and Remedies.

         Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default in payment
(whether or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions set
forth in Article XI of the Indenture) of the principal amount of the Securities
plus accrued and unpaid interest when the same becomes due and payable at
Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration, when due for purchase by
the Company or otherwise, (ii) default in the payment (whether or not such
payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions set forth in Article XI
of the Indenture) of any interest (including contingent interest), when due and
payable, subject to lapse of time, (iii) failure by the Company to comply in
any material respect with other agreements or covenants in the Indenture or the
Securities, subject to notice and lapse of time; (iv) failure by the Company to
deliver shares of Common Stock upon the election by the Holders to convert
their Securities, subject to lapse of time; (v) failure to provide timely
notice of a Fundamental Change; (vi) default under any credit agreement,
mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which
there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the
Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is
guaranteed by the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries), whether such
Indebtedness or guarantee exists on the date of the Indenture or is created
thereafter, which default (A) is caused by a failure to pay when due any
principal of such Indebtedness within the grace period provided for in such
Indebtedness (which failure continues beyond any applicable grace period) (a
"Payment Default") or (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness
prior to its express maturity (without such acceleration being rescinded or
annulled) and, in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness,
together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under

                                    A-1-10
<PAGE>

which there is a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so
accelerated, aggregates $10,000,000 or more and such Payment Default is not
cured or such acceleration is not annulled within 30 days after notice; or
(vii) failure by the Company or any Material Subsidiary of the Company to pay
final, non-appealable judgments (other than any judgment as to which a
reputable insurance company has accepted full liability) aggregating in excess
of $10,000,000, which judgments are not stayed, bonded or discharged within 60
days after their entry; and (vii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and
reorganization of the Company.

         Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as
provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or
the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities at the time outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of
any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any
continuing Default (except a Default in payment of amounts specified in clause
(ii) above) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests.

15.      Trustee Dealings with the Company.

         Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under
the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

16.      Calculations in Respect of Securities.

         The Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for
under the Securities, except for such calculations made by the Bid Solicitation
Agent. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determination of the
market prices for the Common Stock, accrued interest payable on the Securities
and the Last Report Sale Price of the Securities and on the Common Stock. Any
calculations made in good faith and without manifest error will be final and
binding on Holders of the Securities. The Company will be required to deliver
to each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a schedule of its calculations
and each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent will be entitled to rely upon
the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. The Trustee
will forward the Company's calculations to any Holder of the Securities upon
the request of such Holder.

17.      No Recourse Against Others.

         A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company
or the Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company
under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of
or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security,
each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are
part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

18.      Authentication.

         This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the
Trustee manually signs the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication on the other
side of this Security.

[FOR INCLUSION ONLY IF THIS SECURITY BEARS A RESTRICTED SECURITIES LEGEND] In
connection with any transfer of any of the Securities evidenced by this
certificate which are "restricted securities" (as defined in Rule 144 (or any
successor thereto) under the Securities Act), the undersigned confirms that
such Securities are being transferred:

         CHECK ONE BOX BELOW

         (1)     [ ]       to the Company; or
