                                   GLOBAL NOTE

                                                               CUSIP 404119 AD 1

         HCA - THE HEALTHCARE COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the "Company," which term
includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as the nominee of The
Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the principal amount of One
Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), on June 1, 2006 (the "Maturity Date")
and to pay interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months) on June 1 and December 1 ("Interest Payment Date") in each year,
beginning on December 1, 2001, and at the Maturity Date specified above on said
principal amount, at the rate of 7.125% per annum, from May 22, 2001 until
payment of said principal amount has been made or duly provided for. The
interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date (other than at maturity) will
be paid to the Person in whose name this Global Note is registered at the close
of business on the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in
which such

<PAGE>   2

interest payment is due (a "Regular Record Date"), unless the Company shall
default in the payment of interest due on any such Interest Payment Date, in
which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name
this Global Note is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date
for the payment of such defaulted interest established by notice to the
registered holders of Notes not less than ten days preceding such Special Record
Date. In any case where the date for any payment on the Notes is not a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. A Business
Day is any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that, in The City of New
York, New York is not a day on which banking institutions are generally
authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

         Both principal of and interest on this Global Note are payable in
immediately available funds in any coin or currency of the United States of
America, which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public
and private debts. Payments of principal and interest will be made in The City
of New York, New York, at the Corporate Trust Office of Bank One Trust Company,
N.A., or at such other office or agency of the Company as the Company shall
designate pursuant to the Indenture referred to elsewhere herein.

         This Global Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures,
notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (the
"Securities"), of the series hereinafter specified, issued or to be issued under
an Indenture dated as of December 16, 1993, as supplemented, as may be amended
by indentures supplemental thereto (the "Indenture"), duly executed and
delivered by the Company to Bank One Trust Company, N.A., the successor to The
First National Bank of Chicago, as trustee (the "Trustee"), to which Indenture
reference is hereby made for a description of the respective rights and duties
thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities. The
Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be
issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times,
may bear interest at different rates, may have different conversion prices (if
any), may be subject to different redemption provisions, may be subject to
different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, may be subject to different
covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture
provided. This Global Note, Certificate R10, along with Global Note, Certificate
R9, together represent a Global Security representing the entire principal
amount of a series of Securities designated "7.125% Notes due 2006" (the
"Notes") issued under the Indenture. Unless otherwise provided herein, all terms
used in this Global Note, which are defined in the Indenture, shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

         The Notes do not have a sinking fund.

         The Notes may be redeemed as a whole or in part at any time by the
Company prior to maturity. The redemption price shall equal the greater of (i)
100% of the principal amount of such Notes and (ii) the sum of the present
values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon
discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below),
plus 35 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date
of redemption.

         "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate
per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable
Treasury Issue, assuming a price

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal
amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the redemption date.

         "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker and having a maturity comparable to
the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the
time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Notes. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the
Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with us.

         "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date,
(1) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third
business day preceding the redemption date, as set forth in the daily
statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S.
Government Securities" or (2) if the release (or any successor release) is not
published or does not contain the prices on that business day, (a) the average
of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date, after
excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if
the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the
average of all the quotations.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by
the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Trustee by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the
third business day preceding the redemption date.

         "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and
Salomon Smith Barney Inc., and their respective successors; provided however,
that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government
securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Company
shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.

         The Company will mail notice of any redemption between 30 and 60 days
preceding the redemption date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed.

         Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and
after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
portions called for redemption.

         In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof may be declared, and upon such
declaration shall become, immediately due and payable, in the manner, with the
effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding.

         The Company is party to a $2.5 billion credit agreement dated April 30,
2001 with a group of banks, which agreement consists of a $1.75 billion
revolving credit loan and a $750

                                       3

<PAGE>   4

million term loan, both of which mature in April 2006. The Company will be in
default under the Notes if a default occurs under that agreement (as it may be
amended, modified, extended, renewed or replaced from time to time) and that
default results in an acceleration of the maturity of the Company's indebtedness
under that agreement. A declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the
Notes for this reason is subject to annulment if the default that caused
acceleration of the indebtedness under the agreement is cured or waived and the
Trustee is given notice of the cure or waiver within sixty (60) days of the
declaration. The Company does not need the consent of the holders of the Notes
to enter into any amendment, modification, extension, renewal or replacement of
the agreement. Such cross-acceleration will no longer be applicable following
the time, if ever, as the Notes are rated Baa3 (or the equivalent) or higher by
Moody's and BBB- (or the equivalent) or higher by Standard & Poor's. "Moody's"
means Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and its successors. "Standard & Poor's"
means Standard and Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill
Companies, Inc., and its successors.

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of each series to be affected. It is also provided in the
Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Notes
as a series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such series at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders
of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default with respect to
the Securities of such series under the Indenture and its consequences, except a
default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any of the
Securities of such series.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Global
Note or of the Indenture (including the Company's right to defease and discharge
the Notes pursuant to Article Four and Article Fourteen of the Indenture) shall
alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Global Note at the
place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein
prescribed.

         This Global Note shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in the
names of Persons other than the Depositary or its nominee only if (i) the
Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
the Depositary or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be registered or in
good standing under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days
after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such event or (ii)
the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that this
Global Note shall be so exchangeable. To the extent that this Global Note is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence, it shall be exchangeable for
Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

         Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, this Global
Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of
such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another
nominee of such Depositary or by such

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such Depositary or a nominee of
such successor.

         Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Global
Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
deem and treat the Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Global Note
(whether or not this Global Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving
payment hereof or on account hereof (except as otherwise provided in the
Indenture), as herein provided, and for all other purposes, and neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments made to or upon the order
of such Holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectually satisfy
and discharge liability for moneys payable on this Global Note.

         None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security
Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of this Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

         No recourse for the payment of the principal of, or interest on, this
Global Note, or for any claims based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and
no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company
in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Note or because
of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against
any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company, whether by virtue of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

         Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Global Note, this Global
Note shall in all respects be entitled to all benefits, and subject to the same
terms and conditions, as definitive registered securities authenticated and
delivered under the Indenture.

         The Indenture and this Global Note shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

         This Global Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any
purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by
the Trustee under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly

provisions then in effect); (iii) it is eligible to be sold or transferred under
Rule 144 without holding period or volume limitations; or (iv) it is sold in a

<PAGE>   2
                      (d) The terms "register," "registered" and "registration"
shall refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration

registration.

                      (f) "Restricted Securities" shall mean any Registrable

or any portion of the Registrable Securities unless and until (i) there is then
in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such
proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such
registration statement, or (ii) (A) such Holder shall have notified PURCHASER of
the proposed disposition and shall have furnished PURCHASER with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition and (B) if
reasonably requested by PURCHASER, such Holder shall have furnished PURCHASER

                                       2
<PAGE>   3
with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to PURCHASER, that such
disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities
Act, it being understood that PURCHASER will not require opinions of counsel for
transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

                      (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (i)
and (ii) of paragraph (a) above, no such registration statement or opinion of
counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by a Holder which is (A) a partnership
to its partners in accordance with their partnership interests, (B) a limited
liability company to its members in accordance with their member interests, or
(C) to the Holder's family member or a trust for the benefit of an individual
Holder or one or more of his family members, provided the transferee will be

original Holder hereunder.

                      (c) Each certificate representing Registrable Securities
shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Agreement) be
stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the
following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities
laws):

           THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
           SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR
           TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL
           REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT OR UNLESS PURCHASER HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION
           OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, SATISFACTORY TO PURCHASER AND ITS
           COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

                      (d) PURCHASER shall be obligated to promptly reissue
unlegended certificates at the request of any Holder thereof if the Holder shall
have obtained an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to PURCHASER)
reasonably acceptable to PURCHASER to the effect that the securities proposed to
be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of in compliance with the Securities
Act without registration, qualification or legend.

                      (e) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to
applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect
to such securities shall be removed upon receipt by PURCHASER of an order of the
appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal or if the Holder shall
request such removal and shall have obtained and delivered to PURCHASER an
opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to PURCHASER to the effect that such
legend and/or stop-transfer instructions are no longer required pursuant to
applicable state securities laws.

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
           1.3 PURCHASER REGISTRATION.

                      (a) Right to Piggyback. If at any time prior to the 2 year
anniversary of the date hereof PURCHASER shall determine to register any of
shares of PURCHASER Common Stock for its own account, other than a registration
relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration relating solely to
a Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not
permit secondary sales, PURCHASER will:

                                 (i) promptly give to each Holder written notice
thereof, which notice briefly describes the Holders' rights under this Section
1.3 (including notice deadlines);

                                 (ii) use its best efforts to include in such
registration (and any related filing or qualification under applicable blue sky
laws), except as set forth in Section 1.3(b) below, and in any underwriting
involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
or requests, made by any Holder and received by PURCHASER within ten (10) days
after the written notice from PURCHASER described in clause (i) above is mailed
or delivered by PURCHASER, provided that such Holders shall have requested for
inclusion in such registration at least ten (10%) of the aggregate number of the
Registrable Securities which have been issued to the Holders prior to the date
of such written request. Such written request may specify all or a part of a
Holder's Registrable Securities; and

                                 (iii) keep such registration effective for a
period of one hundred eighty (180) days or until the Holder or Holders have
completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating
thereto, whichever first occurs.

                      (b) Underwriting. If the registration of which PURCHASER
gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting,
PURCHASER shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with PURCHASER and the other holders of securities of PURCHASER with
registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through
such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by PURCHASER.

                      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.3,
if the representative of the underwriters advises PURCHASER in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be
underwritten, the representative may (subject to the limitations set forth
below) exclude all Registrable Securities from, or limit the number of
Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting.
PURCHASER shall so advise all Holders of securities requesting registration, and
the number of shares of

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting
shall be allocated first to PURCHASER for securities being sold for its own
account and thereafter as set forth in Section 1.10. If any person does not
agree to the terms of any such underwriting, he shall be excluded therefrom by
written notice from PURCHASER or the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or
other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn
from such registration.

                      If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if
the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors, PURCHASER
shall then offer to all persons who have retained the right to include
securities in the registration the right to include additional securities in the
registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn,
with such shares to be allocated among the persons requesting additional
inclusion in accordance with Section 1.10 hereof.

           1.4 EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All Registration Expenses incurred in
connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to
Section 1.3 hereof shall be borne by PURCHASER. All Selling Expenses relating to
securities so registered shall be borne by the Holders of such securities pro
rata on the basis of the number of shares of securities so registered on their
behalf.

           1.5 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In the case of each registration
effected by PURCHASER pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, PURCHASER will keep each
Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to
the completion thereof. At its expense, PURCHASER will use its best efforts to:

                      (a) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement;

                      (b) furnish such number of prospectuses and other
documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the
prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;

                      (c) notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the
circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such Holder, prepare and
furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an
amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus
shall not include an untrue statement of a material

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the
circumstances then existing; provided, however, PURCHASER shall not be obligated
to prepare and furnish any such prospectus supplements or amendments relating to
any material nonpublic information at any such time as the Board of Directors of
PURCHASER has determined that, for good business reasons, the disclosure of such
material nonpublic information at that time is contrary to the best interests of
PURCHASER in the circumstances and is not otherwise required under applicable
law (including applicable securities laws);

                      (d) cause all such Registrable Securities registered
pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange and/or included in
any national quotation system on which similar securities issued by PURCHASER
are then listed or included;

                      (e) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such registration statement and a
CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than
the effective date of such registration; and

                      (f) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the
period of at least twelve (12) months, but not more than eighteen months,
beginning with the first month after the effective date of the registration
statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act.

           1.6 INDEMNIFICATION.

                      (a) PURCHASER will indemnify each Holder, each of its
officers, directors, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person
controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
with respect to which registration, qualification, or compliance has been
effected pursuant to this Section 1, and each underwriter, if any, and each
person who controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any
underwriter, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or
actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based
on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any
related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such
registration, qualification, or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by
PURCHASER of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable
to PURCHASER or relating to action or inaction required of PURCHASER in
connection with any such registration, qualification, or compliance, and will
reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, legal
counsel and accountants and each person controlling such Holder, each such
underwriter, and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal
and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and
defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action,

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
provided that PURCHASER will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense arises out of or is based on
any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to
PURCHASER by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use
therein. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
1.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of PURCHASER (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

                      (b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by
him are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification,
or compliance is being effected, indemnify PURCHASER, each of its directors,
officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each underwriter, if any,
of PURCHASER's securities covered by such a registration statement, each person
who controls PURCHASER or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act, each other such Holder and Other Stockholder, and each of
their officers, directors, and partners, and each person controlling such Holder
or Other Stockholder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any omission (or
alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse
PURCHASER and such Holders, Other Stockholders, directors, officers, partners,
legal counsel, and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons for
any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action,
in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
(or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to PURCHASER
by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however,
(i) that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages, or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent
of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) that
in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 1.6(b) exceed the gross
proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

                      (c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this
Section 1.6 (the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to
provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such
Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be
sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such
claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the
Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party
(whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party
may participate in such defense at such party's expense, and provided further
that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
Section 1.6, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying
Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the
consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff of a release to such Indemnified Party from
all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party
shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an
Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably
required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting
therefrom.

                      (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section
1.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or
expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other
in connection with the conduct, statements or omissions that resulted in such
loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of
the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.

                      (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting
agreement entered into by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in
connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the
foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall
control.

           1.7 INFORMATION BY HOLDER. Each Holder of Registrable Securities
shall furnish to PURCHASER such information regarding such Holder and the
distribution proposed by such Holder as PURCHASER may reasonably request in
writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration,
qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 1.

           1.8 RULE 144 REPORTING. With a view to making available the benefits
of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the
Restricted Securities to the public without registration, PURCHASER agrees to
use its best efforts to:

                      (a) make and keep adequate public information regarding
PURCHASER available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

                      (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of PURCHASER under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act; and

                                       8
<PAGE>   9
                      (c) so long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities,
furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request a written statement by
PURCHASER as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of PURCHASER, and such other reports and documents so filed as
a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of
the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

           1.9 DELAY OF REGISTRATION.

                      (a) Notice to Discontinue. Each Holder agrees by
acquisition of such securities that, upon receipt of any notice from PURCHASER
of any event of the kind described in Section 1.5(c), the Holder will
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until the Holder receives
copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 1.5(c).
In addition, if PURCHASER requests, the holder will deliver to PURCHASER (at
PURCHASER's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the
Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice. If PURCHASER gives any such
notice, the time period mentioned in Section 1.3(a)(iii) shall be extended by
the number of days elapsing between the date of notice and the date that each
Holder who has included Registrable Securities in such registration receives the
copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated in Section 1.5(c).

                      (b) Notice by Holders. Whenever the Holders have requested
that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, those
Holders shall notify PURCHASER, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any
event, which as to any Holder is (i) to its respective knowledge; (ii) solely
within its respective knowledge; and (iii) solely as to matters concerning that
Holder, as a result of which the prospectus included in the registration
statement, then in effect, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading.

           1.10 ALLOCATION OF REGISTRATION OPPORTUNITIES. In any circumstance in
which all of the Registrable Securities and other shares of PURCHASER with
registration rights (the "Other Shares") requested to be included in a
registration on behalf of the Holders or Other Stockholders cannot be so
included as a result of limitations of the aggregate number of shares of
Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included, the number of
shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included shall
be allocated among the Holders and Other Stockholders requesting inclusion of
shares pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities
and Other Shares held by such Holders and Other Stockholders; provided, however,
that such allocation shall not operate to reduce the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities and Other Shares to be included in such registration, if
any Holder or Other Stockholder does not request inclusion of the

                                       9
<PAGE>   10
maximum number of shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares allocated to
him pursuant to the above-described procedure, the remaining portion of his
allocation shall be reallocated among those requesting Holders and Other
Stockholders whose allocations did not satisfy their requests pro rata on the
basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities and Other Shares which
would be held by such Holders and Other Stockholders, assuming conversion, and
this procedure shall be repeated until all of the shares of Registrable
Securities and Other Shares which may be included in the registration on behalf
of the Holders and Other Stockholders have been so allocated.

3.         MISCELLANEOUS

           3.1 DELAY OF REGISTRATION. No Holder shall have any right to take any
action to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration as the result of
any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of Section 1 hereof.

           3.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the

           3.3 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT; WAIVER. This Agreement constitutes
the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard
to the subject hereof and thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof
may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, except by a written instrument
signed by PURCHASER and the Holders of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the
Registrable Securities and any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination
shall be binding on all the Holders, but in no event shall the obligation of any
Holder hereunder be materially increased, except upon the written consent of
such Holder.

           3.4 NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by United States

           3.5 DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. No delay or omission to exercise any right,
power or remedy accruing to any Holder, upon any breach or default of PURCHASER
under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such Holder
nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an
acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter
occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a
waiver of any other breach or default therefore or thereafter occurring. Any

                                       11

           3.7 INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL. Each Holder acknowledges that the
information received by them pursuant hereto may be confidential and for its use
only, and it will not use such confidential information in violation of the
Exchange Act or reproduce, disclose or disseminate such information to any other
person (other than its employees or agents having a need to know the contents of
such information, and its attorneys), except in connection with the exercise of

available to the public generally or such Holder is required to disclose such
information by a governmental body.

subparagraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are
