<PAGE>

permitted to be incurred under the definition of Non-Recourse Subsidiary) and
(b) no default with respect to such Indebtedness (including any rights which the
holders thereof may have to take enforcement action against a Non-Recourse
Subsidiary) would permit (upon notice or lapse of time or both) any holder of

does not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the
Company or any Subsidiary (other than any Permitted Lien or any Lien the
creation or imposition of which shall have been in compliance with Section 1009
hereof); provided, however, that with respect to clause (a), the Company or a
Subsidiary may be liable for Indebtedness of, or may have an Investment in, a
Non-Recourse Subsidiary if (x) at the time of incurrence, such liability or
Investment, together with all other liabilities and Investments within clause
(a) outstanding at such time, does not exceed 5% of the Company's Consolidated
Net Tangible Assets, or (y) at the time of designation of such subsidiary as a
Non-Recourse Subsidiary, such liability or Investment, together with all other
liabilities and Investments within clause (a) outstanding at such time, does not
exceed 5% of the Company's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (calculated as if
such subsidiary were a Non-Recourse Subsidiary). Any such designation by the

               Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution
         therefor) as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired
         in accordance with their terms or that has been transferred pursuant to
         a registration statement that has been declared effective under the
         Securities Act may, upon surrender of such Note for exchange to the
         Security Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section
         305, be exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate
         principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required
         by this Section 305(d).

               Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture (other
         than the provisions set forth in Section 305(c) and in this Section
         305(d)), the Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part
         except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee
         of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
         Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor
         Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

               The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the
         Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust
         Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Note.
         Initially, the Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary,
         registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary,
         and deposited with the Custodian for Cede & Co. The Global Note, to the
         extent that it represents the interests of Non-U.S. Persons, will be
         held by Cede & Co. for the accounts of designated agents on behalf of
         the Euroclear System ("Euroclear") or Clearstream Banking, Societe
         Anonyme, Luxembourg ("Clearstream"). Non-U.S. Persons holding
         beneficial interests in the Global Note may do so only through
         Euroclear or Clearstream. Any transfer of any beneficial interest in
         the Global Note shall only be permitted if such transfer is in
         compliance with the provisions of Section 305(d) applicable to
         transfers of the Notes and the rules and procedures of the Depositary
         therefor, which shall include restrictions on transfer comparable to
         those set forth therein and herein to the extent required by the
         Securities Act.

               If a Note in certificated form is issued in exchange for any
         portion of the Global Note after the close of business at the office or
         agency where such exchange occurs on any record date and before the
         opening of business at such office or agency on the next succeeding
         Interest Payment Date, interest will not be payable on such Interest
         Payment Date in respect of such Note, but will be payable on such
         Interest Payment Date, subject

                                       21

<PAGE>

         to the provisions of the Note, only to the person to whom interest in
         respect of such portion of the Global Note is payable in accordance
         with the provisions of this Indenture and the Notes.

               Notes in certificated form issued in exchange for all or a part
         of the Global Note pursuant to Section 204 and this Section 305 shall
         be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
         Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
         participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution
         and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Notes in
         certificated form to the persons in whose names such Notes in
         certificated form are so registered.

               At such time as all interests in the Global Note have been
         redeemed, converted, canceled, exchanged for Notes in certificated
         form, or transferred to a transferee who receives Notes in certificated
         form, such Global Note shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the
         Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions
         existing between the Depositary and the Custodian for Cede & Co. At any
         time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in the Global Note is
         redeemed, converted, repurchased or canceled, the Principal Amount of
         the Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and
         instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian for Cede
         & Co., be appropriately reduced and an endorsement shall be made on
         such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian for Cede & Co., at
         the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

               (e) Every stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon
         conversion of a Transfer Restricted Note that bears or is required
         under this Section 305(e) to bear the legend set forth in this Section
         305(e) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in
         this Section 305(e) (including those set forth in the legend set forth
         below), and the holder of such Common Stock issued upon conversion of a
         Transfer Restricted Note, by such holder's acceptance thereof, agrees
         to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. The Company shall not
         register any transfer of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such a
         Transfer Restricted Note not made in accordance with the restrictions
         on transfer set forth in this Section 305.

               Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales
         thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor
         provision), any stock certificate representing Common Stock issued upon

         Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such
         transfer) or such Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of Notes
         that have been transferred pursuant to a registration statement that
         has been declared effective under the Securities Act:

               If an Event of Default with respect to any Notes at the time
         Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the
         Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
         Outstanding Notes may declare the Principal Amount on the Notes to be
         due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and
         to the Trustee if given by Holders), except that, in the case of an
         Event of Default specified in clause (10) of Section 501, if the Event
         of Default affects more than one series of Securities, the Trustee, or
         the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
         Securities, of all series of Securities shall be required to make such
         declaration. Upon any such declaration, such amount shall become
         immediately due and payable. If an

                                       28

<PAGE>

         Event of Default described in clause (5), (6), (12) or (13) of Section
         501 shall occur, the Principal Amount on the Notes to and including the
         date of occurrence of such event ipso facto shall become and be
         immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
         part of the Trustee or any Holder.

         SECTION 1.06. Supplement to Article Eight of the Original Indenture.
Section 801 of the Original Indenture is superseded with respect to the Notes by
the following provisions:

         The Company will not, in any transaction or series of transactions,
         consolidate with or merge into any other Person (other than a merger of
         a Subsidiary or any other Person into the Company in which the Company
         is the continuing corporation), or sell, convey, assign, transfer,
         lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of
         the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person,
         unless:

               (i) either (a) the Company shall be the continuing Person or (b)
         the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation or
         which acquires, by sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or
         other disposition, all or substantially all of the assets of the
         Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (such Person, the
         "Surviving Entity"), shall be a Person organized and validly existing
         under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or
         the District of Columbia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, the British
         Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, any of the Channel Islands, France,
         the Netherlands or the Netherlands Antilles and shall expressly assume,
         by a supplement to this Indenture, the due and punctual payment of all
         amounts owing on all the Notes and the performance of the Company's
         covenants and obligations under this Indenture;

               (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or
         series of transactions on a pro forma basis (including, without
         limitation, any Indebtedness incurred or anticipated to be incurred in
         connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of
         transactions), no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and
         be continuing or would result therefrom;

               (iii) in the event that the Company or the Surviving Entity is
         organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States which is
         different from the jurisdiction in which the obligor on the Notes was
         organized immediately before giving effect to the transaction or series
         of transactions,

                                       29

<PAGE>

         (a) the Company or such Surviving Entity, as applicable, delivers to
         the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the obligations of
         the Company or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, are enforceable
         under the laws of the new jurisdiction of its formation subject to
         customary exceptions and (2) the Holders of Notes will not recognize
         any income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a
         result of the transaction or series of transactions and will be subject
         to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner
         and at the same times as would have been the case if such transaction
         or series of transactions had not occurred, (b) the Company or such
         Surviving Entity, as applicable, agrees in writing to submit to
         jurisdiction to the competent courts of the State of New York or the
         federal district court sitting in The City of New York and appoints an
         agent in the State of New York for the service of process, each under
         terms satisfactory to the Trustee and (c) the Board of Directors of the
         Company or the comparable governing body of such Surviving Entity, as
         applicable, determines in good faith that such transaction will have no
         material adverse effect on any Holder of Notes and a Board Resolution
         (or its equivalent if the Surviving Entity is not a corporation) to
         that effect is delivered to the Trustee; and

               (iv) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
         consolidation, merger, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other
         disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection
         with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply with this
         Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating
         to such transaction or series of transactions have been complied with.

         SECTION 1.07. Supplement to Article Nine of the Original Indenture. (a)
Section 901 of the Original Indenture is supplemented with respect to the Notes
by inserting the following provisions at the end of Section 901:

               (9) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in
         place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated Notes are
         issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the
         Internal Revenue Code of 1986);

               (10) to add any Subsidiary Guarantor or release any Subsidiary
         Guarantor as provided in Article Four or Section 1404;

                                       30

<PAGE>

               (11) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the terms of
         this Indenture other than as provided in Article Four or Section 1404,
         provided that such action will not adversely affect the interests of
         the Holders in any material respect; or

               (12) to provide for the assumption of the obligations of the
         Company in any case contemplated by Section 1514 hereof.

         (b) Article Nine of the Original Indenture is supplemented with respect
to the Notes by inserting the following provisions at the end of Article Nine:

         SECTION 907. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders of Notes.

               Notwithstanding Section 902, without the consent of each
         Holder affected, an amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the
         Notes may not:

               (1) make any change to the principal amount of the Notes whose
         Holders must consent to an amendment or supplement to this Section 907;

               (2) reduce the Conversion Rate applicable to the Notes;

               (3) reduce the Redemption Price or Change in Control Purchase
         Price of any Note or extend the date on which the Change in Control

               (4) subordinate in right of payment, or otherwise subordinate,
         the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee to any other Indebtedness;

               (5) make any change that materially and adversely affects the
         right to convert any Note; or

               (6) make any change that materially and adversely affects the
         right to require the Company to purchase the Notes upon a Change in
         Control in accordance with the terms thereof and this Indenture.

         SECTION 1.08. Supplement to Article Ten of the Original Indenture.

                                       31

<PAGE>

         (a) The first sentence of Section 1002 of the Original Indenture is
superseded with respect to the Notes by the following sentence:

               The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The
         City of New York, an office or agency of the Trustee, Security
         Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent where Notes may be
         presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes 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 Notes and this Indenture may be served.

         (b) Article Ten of the Original Indenture is supplemented with respect
to the Notes by inserting the following Sections at the end thereof:

         SECTION 1008. Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions.

               The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to,
         directly or indirectly, enter into, assume, guarantee or otherwise
         become liable with respect to any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction
         unless (i) the proceeds from such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction are
         at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Property being
         transferred and (ii) the Company or such Subsidiary would have been
         permitted to enter into such transaction under the tests described
         under Section 1009 hereof.

         SECTION 1009. Limitation on Liens.

               The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to,
         directly or indirectly, create, affirm, incur, assume or suffer to
         exist any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, on or with respect to any
         Property of the Company or such Subsidiary or any interest in such
         Property or any income or profits from such Property, whether owned at
         the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, without effectively providing
         that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to)
         any Indebtedness so secured.

         SECTION 1010. Limitation on Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

               The Company will not permit any Subsidiary that is not a
         Subsidiary Guarantor to incur any Indebtedness, other than Indebtedness
         of Non-Recourse Subsidiaries and Permitted Subsidiary Indebtedness,
         unless: (i)(A) such Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a

                                       32

<PAGE>

         supplement to this Indenture providing for a Subsidiary Guarantee of
         the Notes by such Subsidiary and (B) with respect to Indebtedness in
         the form of a guarantee of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company by
         such Subsidiary, any such guarantee shall be subordinated to such
         Subsidiary's Subsidiary Guarantee at least to the same extent as such
         Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; (ii) such
         Subsidiary waives, and agrees not in any manner whatsoever to exercise
         any right or claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of
         reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the
         Company or any other Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such
         Subsidiary under its Subsidiary Guarantee until such time as the
         obligations guaranteed thereby are paid in full; and (iii) such
         Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of
         independent legal counsel to the effect that such supplement and such
         Subsidiary Guarantee have been duly executed and authorized and such
         Subsidiary Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable
         obligation of such Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof
         may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including,
         without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and
         except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles
         of equity.

         SECTION 1011. Reports.

               The Company and any Subsidiary Guarantors shall file with the
         Commission, to the extent such filings are accepted by the Commission
         and whether or not the Company has a class of securities registered
         under the Exchange Act, the annual reports, quarterly reports and other
         documents that the Company would be required to file if the Company
         were subject to Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act, in each case on
         or before the dates on which such reports and other documents would
         have been required to have been filed with the Commission if the
         Company had been subject to Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act,
         beginning with the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The
         Company shall also (i) file with the Trustee (with exhibits), and
         provide to each Holder of Notes (without exhibits), without cost to
         such Holder, copies of such reports and documents within 15 days after
         the date on which the Company files such reports and documents with the
         Commission or the date on which the Company would be required to file
         such reports and documents if the Company were so required and (ii) if
         filing such reports and documents with the Commission is not accepted
         by the Commission or is prohibited under the Exchange Act, supply at
         the Company's cost copies of such reports and documents (including any
         exhibits thereto) to

                                       33

<PAGE>

          any Holder of Notes promptly upon written request. The Company shall
          at all times comply with Trust Indenture Act ss. 314(a).

          SECTION 1012. Taxes.

               The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries
          to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and
          governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by
          appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is
          not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

          SECTION 1013. Liquidated Damages.

               (a) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any
          context, the payment of interest on, or in respect of, any Note, such
          mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of
          Liquidated Damages to the extent that, in such context, Liquidated
          Damages are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to
          the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement and express
          mention of the payment of Liquidated Damages (if applicable) in any
          provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Liquidated
          Damages in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not
          made; provided, however, that, if a conflict or inconsistency with
          respect to Liquidated Damages exists between the Registration Rights
          Agreement and this Indenture, this Indenture shall control with
          respect to timing and mechanics of payment, and the Registration
          Rights Agreement shall control otherwise (including with respect to
          whether and the amount of Liquidated Damages payable). For the
          avoidance of doubt, this Section 1013 shall not give rise to an
          independent obligation of the Company to pay Liquidated Damages and is
          included in this Indenture only to establish the timing and mechanics
          of payment of Liquidated Damages but only to the extent payable
          pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

               (b) If Liquidated Damages are payable pursuant to the
          Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the
          Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such
          Liquidated Damages that are payable and (ii) the date on which such
          Liquidated Damages are payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer
          receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee
          may assume without inquiry that no such Liquidated Damages are
          payable.

                                       34

<PAGE>

          SECTION 1014. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

               Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants (to
          the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time
          insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
          benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever
          enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the
          covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and each of the
          Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (to the extent that it may
          lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
          any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such
          law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted
          to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every
          such power as though no such law has been enacted.

          SECTION 1015. Suspension of Certain Covenants During Investment Grade
Status Period.

               If, during any period, the Notes shall achieve and continue to
          maintain Investment Grade Status and no Event of Default shall have
          occurred and then be continuing (such period being referred to as an
          "Investment Grade Status Period"), then, immediately upon the
          Company's delivery to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate
          certifying the existence of an Investment Grade Status Period, the
          covenants set forth in Sections 1010 and 1011 shall be suspended and
          shall not during such Investment Grade Status Period be applicable to
          the Company and its Subsidiaries. Further, no failure to comply with
          Section 1010 or 1011 during an Investment Grade Status Period by the
          Company or any Subsidiary shall constitute a Default or Event of
          Default in the event that the suspended covenants shall be
          subsequently reinstated. As soon as practicable following the
          termination of any Investment Grade Status Period, the Company shall
          notify the Trustee thereof in writing; provided, however, that the
          failure of the Company to give such notice shall not avoid the
          reinstatement of the suspended covenants, which reinstatement shall
          occur concurrently with the termination of such Investment Grade
          Status Period.

          SECTION 1.09. Supplement to Article Eleven of the Original Indenture.

          (a) Article Eleven of the Original Indenture is supplemented with
respect to the Notes by inserting the following paragraph at the end of Section
1103 thereof:

                                       35

<PAGE>

               If any Note selected for partial redemption is thereafter
          surrendered for conversion in part before termination of the
          conversion right with respect to the portion of the Note so selected,
          the converted portion of such Note shall be deemed (so far as may be),
          solely for purposes of determining the aggregate Principal Amount of
          Notes to be redeemed by the Company, to be the portion selected for
          redemption. Notes that have been converted during a selection of Notes
          to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the
          purpose of such selection. Nothing in this Section 1103 shall affect
          the right of any Holder to convert any Notes pursuant to Article
          Fifteen before the termination of the conversion right with respect
          thereto.

          (b) The notice of redemption provided for in Section 1104 of the
Original Indenture shall also state with respect to the Notes: (1) the
Conversion Rate; (2) the name and address of the Conversion Agent; (3) that
Notes called for redemption may be converted at any time before the close of
business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date; (4) that Holders who
want to convert Notes must satisfy the requirements set forth in paragraph 8 of
the Notes and (5) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such
Redemption Price, interest, if any, will cease to accrue on and after the
Redemption Date.

          (c) The references in Sections 1105 and 1106 of the Original Indenture
relating to the deposit or payment of accrued interest or Additional Amounts are
deleted with respect to the Notes.

          (d) New Sections 1109 through 1116 are hereby added to Article Eleven
of the Original Indenture, but only with respect to the Notes, as follows:

          SECTION 1109. Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption.

               In connection with any redemption of Notes, the Company may
          arrange, in lieu of redemption, for the purchase and conversion of any
          Notes called for redemption by an agreement with one or more
          investment banks or other purchasers to purchase all or a portion of
          such Notes by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Holders whose
          Notes are to be so purchased, on or before the close of business on
          the Redemption Date, an amount that, together with any amounts
          deposited with the Trustee by the Company for the redemption of such
          Notes, is not less than the Redemption Price of such Notes.
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article
          Eleven, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of
          such Notes, including all accrued interest, if any, shall be deemed to
          be satisfied and discharged to the extent such

                                               36

<PAGE>

          amount is so paid by such purchasers, but no such agreement shall
          relieve the Company of its obligation to pay such Redemption Price
          until such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement
          is entered into, any Notes not duly surrendered for conversion by the
          Holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the
          fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such
          Holders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
          Article Fifteen) surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as
          of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date,
          subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. The Trustee shall
          hold and pay to the Holders whose Notes are selected for redemption
          any such amount paid to it for purchase and conversion in the same
          manner as it would moneys deposited with it by the Company for the
          redemption of Notes. Without the Trustee's prior written consent, no
          arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase
          and conversion of any Notes shall increase or otherwise affect any of
          the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as
          set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the
          Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or
          expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for
          the purchase and conversion of any Notes between the Company and such
          purchasers, including the costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee
          in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in
          connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers,

SECTION 1111. Effect of Change in Control Purchase Notice.

         Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Change in Control Purchase
Notice specified in Section 1110(c), the Holder of the Note in respect of which
such Change in Control Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Change in
Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following paragraph)
thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change in Control Purchase Price
with respect to such Note. Such Change in Control Purchase Price shall be paid
to such Holder promptly following the later of (x) the Business Day following
the Change in Control Purchase Date with respect to such Note (provided that the
conditions in Section 1110(c) have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery
of such Note to the Paying Agent or to the office or agency referred to in
Section 1002 by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 1110(c).
Notes in respect of which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given by
the Holder thereof may not be converted into shares of Common Stock on or after
the date of the delivery of such Change in Control Purchase Notice unless such
Change in Control Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified
in the following paragraph.

         A Change in Control Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a
written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent or to
the office or agency referred to in Section 1002 at any time prior to the close
of business on the Change in Control Purchase Date, specifying:

         (1) the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice
of withdrawal is being submitted;

         (2) the Principal Amount of the Note with respect to which such notice
of withdrawal is being submitted; and

         (3) the Principal Amount, if any, of such Note which remains subject to
the original Change in Control Purchase Notice and which has been or will be
delivered for purchase by the Company.

         There shall be no purchase of any Notes pursuant to Section 1110 if
there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by
the Holders of such Notes, of the required Change in Control Purchase Notice)
and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of
the Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying
Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Notes (x) with
respect to which a Change in Control Purchase Notice 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

                                       40

<PAGE>

Change in Control Purchase Price with respect to such Notes) in which case, upon
such return, the Change in Control Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be
deemed to have been withdrawn.

SECTION 1112. Deposit of Change in Control Purchase Price.

         Prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the
Business Day following the Change in Control Purchase Date the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting
as Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1103)
an amount of cash in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the aggregate
Change in Control Purchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof which are
to be purchased as of the Change in Control Purchase Date.

SECTION 1113.  Notes Purchased in Part.

         Any Note which is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at
the office of the Paying Agent or the office or agency referred to in Section
1002 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement, or a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee executed by the Holder or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes,
of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate
Principal Amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the Principal
Amount of the Note so surrendered which is not purchased.

SECTION 1114. Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Notes.

         In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of Notes under
Section 1110, the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 under
the Exchange Act, if applicable and (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any
successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act, if applicable.

SECTION 1115. Repayment to the Company.

         The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company, upon
written request, any cash, together with interest on such cash as hereinafter
provided (subject to the provisions of Section 601(a)), held by them for the
payment of a Change in Control Purchase Price of the Notes that remain unclaimed
as provided in paragraph 12 of the Notes, provided, however, that to the extent
that the aggregate amount of

                                       41

<PAGE>

cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 1112 exceeds the aggregate
Change in Control Purchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof to be
purchased, then promptly after the Business Day following the Change in Control
Purchase Date, the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together
with interest as hereinafter provided thereon (subject to the provisions of
Section 601(a)). Any cash deposited with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent
pursuant to Section 1112 hereof shall be invested by the Trustee or Paying
Agent, as applicable, in short-term obligations of, or fully guaranteed by, the
United States of America, or commercial paper rated A-1 or better by S&P or P-1
or better by Moody's as specifically directed in writing by the Company.
Interest earned on such investments shall be repaid to the Company pursuant to
this Section 1115. Except as provided for in this Section 1115, the Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it pursuant to
this Indenture.

SECTION 1116. Outstanding Notes.

         If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a
Redemption Date, or on the Business Day following a Change in Control Purchase
Date, or at Stated Maturity, money sufficient to pay the Notes payable on that
date, then on and after such Redemption Date or Change in Control Purchase Date,
as applicable, such Notes shall cease to be Outstanding, interest on such Notes
shall cease to accrue and all other rights of the Holder shall terminate (other
than the right to receive the applicable Redemption Price or Change in Control
Purchase Price, as the case may be, upon delivery of the Note in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture); provided that if the Notes 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 Note is converted in accordance with Article Fifteen, then from
and after the Conversion Date such Note shall cease to be Outstanding and
interest shall cease to accrue on such Note and all other rights of the Holder
shall terminate.

         SECTION 1.10. New Article Fourteen.

         The Original Indenture is supplemented with respect to the Notes by
inserting the following Article Fourteen:

                                       42

                                ARTICLE FOURTEEN

                              SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

SECTION 1401. Subsidiary Guarantees.

         Each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby
unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee and to the Trustee and their respective successors and assigns,
irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or
the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal
of and any premium and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when
due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and
interest on the overdue principal of and interest on premium and interest on the
Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the
Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or
performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case
of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other
obligations, that the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed
in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount
so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations
hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any
provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company,
any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy
of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company,
protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Subsidiary
Guarantee shall not be discharged (other than in accordance with Article Four or
Section 1404 of this Indenture) except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. If any Holder or the
Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or
Subsidiary

                                       43

<PAGE>

Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official
acting in relation to either the Company or Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount
paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the
extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand,
(x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as
provided in Article Five for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the
event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article Five, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this
Subsidiary Guarantee. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
among the Subsidiary Guarantors, in the event any payment or distribution is
made by any Subsidiary Guarantor (a "Funding Subsidiary Guarantor") under its
Subsidiary Guarantee, such Funding Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to a
contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on
the Adjusted Net Assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor (including the Funding
Subsidiary Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by the
Funding Subsidiary Guarantor in discharging the Company's obligations with
respect to the Notes or any other Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations with
respect to any Subsidiary Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it
will not be entitled to exercise any right of subrogation or contribution in
relation to the Holders of Notes in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby
until payment in full of all amounts guaranteed under this Section 1401.

SECTION 1402. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantees.

         To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 1401, each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee
substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Fifth Supplemental Indenture shall
be endorsed by an officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on each Note thereafter
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, that a supplement to this Indenture
shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by its duly authorized
officer in accordance with Section 1010 hereof and that such Subsidiary
Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee the Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 1010 hereof.

                                       44

<PAGE>

         Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee
set forth in Section 1401 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

         If an officer whose signature is on a supplement to this Indenture or
on the notation of Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time
the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a notation of Subsidiary Guarantee
is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

         The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication
thereof hereunder and whether upon original issue, registration of transfer,
exchange or otherwise, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee
set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Person that is then a Subsidiary
Guarantor.

SECTION 1403. Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

         No Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into
(whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), another
Person whether or not affiliated with such Subsidiary Guarantor unless:

              (a) subject to the provisions of Section 1404 hereof, the
         Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if
         other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of
         such Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form
         and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee in respect of the
         Notes, this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor's Subsidiary
         Guarantee;

              (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
         Default or Event of Default exists; and

              (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
         Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
         consolidation or merger and, if a supplemental indenture is required in
         connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply

                                       45

<PAGE>

          with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided
          for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
          permitted to consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not
          such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person
          pursuant to the preceding sentence if such consolidation or merger is
          not permitted by Article Eight hereof.

               In case of any such consolidation or merger and upon the
          assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture,
          executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the
          Trustee, of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of
          the Notes, this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor's Subsidiary
          Guarantee, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted
          for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been
          named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such successor Person
          thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary
          Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder
          which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
          delivered to the Trustee. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued
          shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
          Indenture as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter
          issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of
          such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the
          execution hereof.

               Except as set forth in Articles Eight and Ten hereof, nothing
          contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any
          consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the
          Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or
          other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a
          Subsidiary Guarantor to the Company.

          SECTION 1404. Releases of Subsidiary Guarantees.

               In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or
          substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor to a
          Person other than a Subsidiary or the Company in a transaction that
          does not violate any provisions of this Indenture, by way of merger,
          consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition (including,
          without limitation, by foreclosure) of all of the Capital Stock of any
          Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person other

                                       46

<PAGE>

          than a Subsidiary or the Company, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall
          be released and relieved of any obligations under this Indenture and
          its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that all obligations of such
          Subsidiary Guarantor under all of its guarantees of, and under all
          pledges of assets or other security interests that secure, any other
          Indebtedness of the Company or any other Subsidiary shall also
          terminate or be released upon such sale or other disposition. Upon
          delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and
          an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other
          disposition was made in accordance with the provisions of this
          Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required
          in order to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its
          obligations under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee.

               In the event of a release or discharge in full of all obligations
          of any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of all of its guarantees of
          Indebtedness of the Company (other than the Notes) and the repayment
          of all Indebtedness, other than Permitted Subsidiary Indebtedness, of
          such Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall, upon the
          written request of the Company to the Trustee, be released and
          relieved of any obligation under this Indenture and its Subsidiary
          Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers'
          Certificate to the effect that such Subsidiary Guarantor has been
          released or discharged in full from all of its obligations under all
          of its guarantees of Indebtedness of the Company (other than the
          Notes) and that all Indebtedness, other than Permitted Subsidiary
          Indebtedness, of such Subsidiary Guarantor has been repaid, the
          Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to
          evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations
          under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee.

               Any Subsidiary Guarantor that is designated a Non-Recourse
          Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture shall be
          released from and relieved of its obligations under this Indenture and
          its Subsidiary Guarantee. Upon effectiveness of such designation, the
          Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to
          evidence the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations
          under this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee.

               Upon the commencement of an Investment Grade Status Period and
          delivery of the Officer's Certificate provided for in the first
          sentence of Section 1015, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released
          from and relieved of its obligations under this Indenture and its
          Subsidiary

                                               47

          Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer's
          Certificate certifying the existence of an Investment Grade Status
          Period (which can be the same Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant
          to Section 1015), the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably
          required in order to evidence the release of each Subsidiary Guarantor
          from its obligations under this Indenture and its Subsidiary
          Guarantee.

               Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under
          its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of
          principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes and for the
          other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture.

          SECTION 1405. Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability.

               For purposes hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor's liability shall
          be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of
          such Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder, but shall be limited to the
          lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the obligations of the Company
          under the Notes and this Indenture and (ii) the amount, if any, which
          would not have (A) rendered such Subsidiary Guarantor "insolvent" (as
          such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Act and in the Debtor and
          Creditor Law of the State of New York) or (B) left it with
          unreasonably small capital at the time its Subsidiary Guarantee of the
          Notes was entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of
          existing Indebtedness immediately prior to such time; provided that,
          it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or other proceeding in which
          such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party that the amount guaranteed
          pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee is the amount set forth in clause
          (i) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of such
          Subsidiary Guarantor, or debtor in possession or trustee in bankruptcy
          of such Subsidiary Guarantor, otherwise proves in such a lawsuit that
          the aggregate liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor is limited to the
          amount set forth in clause (ii). In making any determination as to the
          solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Subsidiary Guarantor in
          accordance with the previous sentence, the right of such Subsidiary
          Guarantor to contribution from other Subsidiary Guarantors and any
          other rights such Subsidiary Guarantor may have, contractual or
          otherwise, shall be taken into account.

          SECTION 1.11. New Article Fifteen.

          The Original Indenture is supplemented with respect to the Notes by
inserting the following Article Fifteen:

                                       48

<PAGE>

                                 ARTICLE FIFTEEN

                                   CONVERSION

SECTION 1501. Conversion Privilege.

         A Holder of a Note may convert such Note into shares of Common Stock at
any time during the period stated in paragraph 8 of the Notes. The number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note per $1,000 of
Principal Amount thereof (the "Conversion Rate") shall be that set forth in
paragraph 8 in the Notes, subject to adjustment as herein set forth. The
"Conversion Price" in effect at any time shall be equal to $1,000 divided by the
Conversion Rate.

         A Holder may convert a portion of the Principal Amount of a Note if the
portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Note also apply to conversion of
a portion of a Note.

         "Average Sale Price" means the average of the Sale Prices of the 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,
         options, warrants, distribution or repurchase in respect of which the
         Average Sale Price is being calculated, or

              (ii) the period (x) commencing on the date next succeeding the
         first public announcement of (a) the issuance of rights, options or
         warrants, (b) the distribution or (c) the repurchase, 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, distribution or
         repurchase in respect of which the Average Sale Price is being
         calculated, or

              (iii) the period, if any, (x) commencing on the date next
         succeeding (i) the Ex-Dividend Time with respect to the next preceding
         (a) issuance of rights, warrants or options or (b) distribution, or
         (ii) the trade date with respect to the next preceding repurchase, in
         each case, for which an adjustment is required by the provisions of
         Section 1506(4), 1507, 1508 or 1509 and (y) proceeding through the last
         full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination with respect to the
         rights, warrants, options, distribution or repurchase in respect of
         which the Average Sale Price is being calculated.

                                       49

<PAGE>

         If 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, combination or reclassification to which Section 1506(1),
(2), (3) or (5) 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
in good faith by the Board of Directors to reflect the impact of such dividend,
subdivision, combination or reclassification on the Sale Price of the Common
Stock during such period.

         "Time of Determination" means the time and date of (x) the earlier of
(i) the determination of stockholders entitled to receive rights, warrants or
options or a distribution, in each case to which Sections 1507 and 1508 apply
and (ii) the time ("Ex-Dividend Time") immediately prior to the commencement of
"ex-dividend" trading for such rights, options, warrants or distribution on the
New York Stock Exchange or such other national or regional exchange or market on
which the shares of the Common Stock are then listed or quoted or (y) the trade
date with respect to the repurchase, in the case of an adjustment pursuant to
Section 1509.

SECTION 1502. Conversion Procedure.

         To convert a Note into Common Stock, a Holder must satisfy the
requirements in paragraph 8 of the Notes. The date on which the Holder satisfies
all those requirements is the conversion date (the "Conversion Date"). The
Company shall deliver to the Holder as soon as practicable and in any event no
later than the seventh Business Day following the Conversion Date, through the
transfer agent for the Common Stock, a certificate for the number of full shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and cash in lieu of any fractional
share determined pursuant to Section 1503. Such delivery shall be deemed to
satisfy, as of the Conversion Date, the Company's obligation to pay the
Principal Amount of the Note converted.

         The Person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated
as a shareholder of record on and after the Conversion Date; provided, however,
that no surrender of a Note on any date when the stock transfer books of the
Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the
record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such
surrender (assuming all other requirements in paragraph 8 of the Notes have been
satisfied) shall be

                                       50

<PAGE>

effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such shares of
Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the
close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books
are open; provided further, that such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate
in effect on the date that such Note shall have been surrendered for conversion
(assuming all other requirements in paragraph 8 of the Notes have been
satisfied), as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed.
Upon conversion of a Note, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Note.

         Holders may surrender a Note for conversion by means of book-entry
delivery in accordance with paragraph 8 of the Notes and the regulations of the
applicable book-entry facility.

         Except that portion of the payment (if applicable) described in the
last paragraph under "Optional Redemption Before March 4, 2005" in paragraph 5
of the Notes, no Holder of Notes will be entitled, upon conversion of any Note,
to any actual cash payment or adjustment to the shares of Common Stock into
which such Note is convertible on account of accrued and unpaid interest or on
account of dividends on shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the
conversion. If any Holder surrenders a Note for conversion between the close of
business on any Regular Record Date for the payment of an installment of
interest and the opening of business on the related Interest Payment Date, then
(a) notwithstanding such conversion, the interest payable on such Interest
Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder of such Note on such Regular Record
Date and (b) the converting Holder must deliver a check payable to the
Conversion Agent in an amount equal to the interest payable on the Interest
Payment Date on the Principal Amount converted together with the Note being
surrendered. If the payment required by clause (b) of the immediately preceding
sentence does not accompany any Note being surrendered for conversion within the
period described in the immediately preceding sentence, such Note shall not be
converted. Neither of the two immediately preceding sentences shall apply if the
Note being surrendered for conversion has been called for redemption on a
Redemption Date within the period between and including the Regular Record Date
for the payment of an installment of interest and the related Interest Payment
Date. On conversion of a Note, that portion of accrued and unpaid interest
attributable to the period from (x) the later of the Issue Date and the date on
which interest was last paid to (y) the Conversion Date with respect to the
converted Note shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather
shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through

                                       51

<PAGE>

delivery of the Common Stock in exchange for the Note being converted pursuant
to the terms hereof, and the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock shall be
treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for the interest
accrued through the Conversion Date, and the balance, if any, of such Fair
Market Value of such shares of Common Stock shall be treated as issued in
exchange for the Principal Amount of the Note being converted pursuant to the
provisions hereof.

         If the Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be computed based
on the total Principal Amount of the Notes converted.

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

         If the last day on which a Note may be converted is a Legal Holiday in
a place where the Conversion Agent is located, the Note may be surrendered to
such Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday.

SECTION 1503. Fractional Shares.

         The Company will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon
conversion of a Note. Instead, the Company will deliver cash for the current
market value of the fractional share. The current market value of a fractional
share shall be determined to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share by multiplying the
Sale Price, on the last Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date, of a full
share by the fractional amount and rounding the product to the nearest whole
cent.

SECTION 1504. Taxes on Conversion.

         If a Holder converts a Note, the Company shall pay any documentary,
stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of shares of Common
Stock upon such conversion. The Holder, however, shall pay any such tax that is
due because the Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the
Holder's name. The Company may authorize the transfer agent to refuse to deliver
the certificates representing the 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

                                       52

<PAGE>

Holder's name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law
or regulations.

SECTION 1505. Company to Provide Stock.

         The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Notes hereunder, and from
time to time as may be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued
Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the
conversion of the Notes into shares of Common Stock.

         All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Notes 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.

         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 Notes, 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 Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

SECTION 1506. Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.

         If, after the Issue Date, the Company:

              (1) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common
         Stock in shares of its Common Stock;

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

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

              (4) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on its Common
         Stock in shares of its Capital Stock (other than Common Stock or
         rights, warrants or options for its Capital Stock); or

              (5) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares
         of its Capital Stock (other than rights, warrants or options for its
         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 Note thereafter
converted may receive the number of shares or other units of Capital Stock of
the Company that such Holder would have owned

                                       53

<PAGE>

immediately following such action if such Holder had converted the Note
immediately prior to 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 Note upon conversion of such Note
may receive shares or other units of two or more classes or series 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
or series of Capital Stock as is contemplated by this Article Fifteen with
respect to the Common Stock, on terms comparable to those applicable to Common
Stock in this Article Fifteen.

SECTION 1507. Adjustment for Rights Issue.

         If, after the Issue Date, the Company distributes any rights, warrants
or options to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, for a period
expiring within 60 days after the record date for such distribution, to purchase
shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock at a price
per share less than the Sale Price as of the Time of Determination, the
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

                                    (O+N)
                R(1) = R x  ---------------------
                                (O+(N x P)/M)

where:

         R(1) =  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 1507 is being
                 applied.

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

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

                                       54

<PAGE>

         M  =  the Average Sale Price, minus, for any (i) distribution to which
               Section 1506(4) applies or (ii) distribution to which Section
               1508 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 1507 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 1507 applies, the Fair Market
               Value (on the record date for the distribution to which this
               Section 1507 applies) of the

               (1) Capital Stock of the Company distributed in respect of each
                   share of Common Stock in such Section 1506(4) distribution,
                   and

               (2) assets of the Company or debt securities or any rights,
                   warrants or options to purchase securities of the Company
                   distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock in such
                   Section 1508 distribution.

         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 1507 applies.

         No adjustment shall be made under this Section 1507 if the application
of the formula stated above in this Section 1507 would result in a value of R(1)
that is equal to or less than the value of R.

SECTION 1508. Adjustment for Other Distributions.

         If, after the Issue Date, the Company distributes to all holders of its
Common Stock any of its assets or debt securities 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 1506 and
distributions of rights, warrants or options referred to in Section 1507 and (y)
cash dividends or other cash distributions that are paid out of consolidated
current net income or earnings retained in the business as shown on the books of
the Company, unless such cash dividends or other cash distributions are
Extraordinary Cash Dividends), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, subject to
the provisions of the last paragraph of this Section 1508, in accordance with
the formula:

                                       55

<PAGE>

                                M
                R(1) = R x  ---------
                               M-F
where:

         R(1) =  the adjusted Conversion Rate.

         R    =  the current Conversion Rate.

         M    =  the Average Sale Price, minus, for any distribution to which
                 Section 1506(4) applies for which (i) the record date shall
                 occur on or before the record date for the distribution to
                 which this Section 1508 applies and (ii) the Ex-Dividend Time
                 shall occur on or after the date of the Time of Determination
                 for the distribution to which this Section 1508 applies, the
                 Fair Market Value (on the record date for the distribution to
                 which this Section 1508 applies) of any Capital Stock of the
                 Company distributed in respect of each share of Common Stock in
                 such Section 1506(4) distribution.

         F    =  the Fair Market Value (on the record date for the distribution
                 to which this Section 1508 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 1508 is being applied (including, in the case of cash
                 dividends or other cash distributions giving rise to an
                 adjustment, all such cash distributed concurrently).

         The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the distribution to
which this Section 1508 applies.

         For purposes of this Section 1508, the term "Extraordinary Cash
Dividend" shall mean any cash dividend with respect to the Common Stock the
amount of which, together with (i) the amounts of all cash dividends on the
Common Stock with Ex-Dividend Times occurring in the twelve-month period ending
on the date prior to the Ex-Dividend Time with respect to the cash dividend to
which this provision is being applied and (ii) the amounts of all repurchases of
the type described in Section 1509 occurring in the twelve-month period ending
on the date prior to the Ex-Dividend Time with respect to the cash dividend to
which this provision is being applied for which no

                                       56

<PAGE>

adjustment pursuant to this Article Fifteen has been made, equals or exceeds
12.5% of the Company's Market Capitalization on the date of the cash dividend to
which this provision is being applied, such cash dividend together with each
other cash dividend with an Ex-Dividend Time occurring in such twelve-month
period shall be deemed to be an Extraordinary Cash Dividend and for purposes of
applying the formula set forth above in this Section 1508, the value of "F"
shall be equal to (w) the aggregate amount of such cash dividend together with
the amounts of the other cash dividends with Ex-Dividend Times occurring in such
period minus (x) the aggregate amount of such other cash dividends with
Ex-Dividend Times occurring in such period for which a prior adjustment in the
Conversion Rate was previously made under this Section 1508.

         In making the determinations required by the immediately preceding
paragraph, the amount of cash dividends paid on a per share basis and the
average of the Sale Prices, in each case during the period specified in the
immediately preceding paragraph, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the
occurrence during such period of any event described in Section 1506.

         In the event that, with respect to any distribution to which this
Section 1508 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 1508 shall not be made and in lieu thereof
the provisions of Section 1515 shall apply to such distribution.

SECTION 1509. Adjustment for Repurchases.

         In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall repurchase
(including by way of tender offer) shares of Common Stock, and the Fair Market
Value of the sum of (i) the aggregate consideration paid for such Common Stock,
(ii) the aggregate cash dividends and distributions of the type described in
clause (y) of Section 1508 paid within the twelve months preceding the date of
purchase of such shares of Common Stock in respect of which no adjustment
pursuant to any section of this Article Fifteen previously has been made, and
(iii) the aggregate of any amounts previously paid for the repurchase of Common
Stock of a type described in this Section 1509 within the twelve months
preceding the date of purchase of such shares of Common Stock in respect of
which no adjustment pursuant to any section of this Article Fifteen previously
has been made, exceeds 12.5% of Market Capitalization on the date of, and after
giving effect to, such repurchase, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in
accordance with the formula:

                                       57

<PAGE>

                                 M
                R(1) = R x  -------------
                               M - P
                                  O-S

where:

         R(1) =  the adjusted Conversion Rate.

         R    =  the current Conversion Rate.

         M    =  the Average Sale Price.

         P    =  the excess, if any, of the aggregate repurchase price paid for
                 all shares of Common Stock that are the subject of such
                 repurchase over the aggregate value of such shares calculated
                 at the Average Sale Price.

         O    =  the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to such
                 repurchase.

         S    =  the number of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of
                 such repurchase

         The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the trade date
for the repurchase.

SECTION 1510. 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% (e.g., if the Conversion
Rate is 4, an increase or decrease of .04 (1% of 4)) 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 Fifteen shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be, with
one-half of a cent and 5/10,000ths of a share being rounded upwards.

SECTION 1511.  When No Adjustment Required.

                                       58

<PAGE>

         No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in Section
1506, 1507, 1508, 1509 or 1515 if Holders are to participate in the transaction
on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors determines to be fair and
appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which holders of Common Stock
participate in the transaction.

         No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant
to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest.

         No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par
value of the Common Stock.

         To the extent the Notes become convertible into cash pursuant to the
terms of Section 1508 or 1515, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the
cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.

         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Indenture, no
adjustment shall be made in the Conversion Rate to the extent, but only to the
extent, such adjustment results in the following quotient being less than the
par value of the Common Stock: (i) the Principal Amount divided by (ii) the
Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

SECTION 1512. Notice of Adjustment.

         Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall file with
the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice of such adjustment and a
certificate from the Company's independent public accountants briefly stating
the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The
Conversion Agent will promptly mail such notice to Holders at the Company's
expense. 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 1513. Voluntary Increase.

         The Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any
amount and for any period of time; provided that such period is not less than 20
Business Days. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased, the Company shall mail
to Holders and file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice of the
increase. The Company shall mail the notice at least 15

                                       59

<PAGE>

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 1506, 1507, 1508
or 1509.

SECTION 1514. Notice of Certain Transactions.

         If:

              (1) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment
         in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 1506, 1507, 1508 or 1509
         (unless no adjustment is to occur pursuant to Section 1511); or

              (2) the Company takes any action that would require a
         supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 1515; or

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

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 or
distribution of the proposed effective date of a subdivision, 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 1515. Reorganization of Company; Special Distributions.

         If the Company is a party to a transaction subject to Section 801
(other than a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in a
transaction in which the holders 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 that reclassifies or
changes its outstanding Common Stock (including by resulting in the Company's
becoming a subsidiary of a Parent Holding Company), the Person obligated to
deliver securities, cash or other assets upon conversion of Notes shall enter
into a supplemental indenture. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon
conversion of Notes is an Affiliate of the successor Company, that issuer shall
join in the supplemental indenture.

                                       60

<PAGE>

         The supplemental indenture shall provide that the Holder of a Note 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 Note
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 Fifteen. The successor Company shall mail to
Holders a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture.

         If this Section 1515 applies, none of Sections 1506, 1507, 1508 or 1509
shall apply.

         If the Company makes a distribution to all holders of its 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 1508, would otherwise result in an adjustment in the
Conversion Rate pursuant to the provisions of Section 1508, then, from and after
the record date for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive
the distribution, a Holder of a Note that converts such Note 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 Note 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 Note immediately prior to the record date for determining the
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the distribution.

SECTION 1516. Rights Issued Under the Outstanding Rights Agreement; Future
Stockholder Rights Plans.

         The Company has entered into a Rights Agreement dated as of September
13, 2001 (the "Rights Agreement") with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.
Under the Rights Agreement, preferred share purchase rights (the "Rights") have
been, and may in the future be, issued in respect of shares of Common Stock. The
Rights Agreement provides that, upon conversion, Holders of Notes will receive,
in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the
Rights attached to such shares or, if the Rights have separated from the Common
Stock, the Rights that would have

                                       61

<PAGE>

attached to such shares had the Rights not become separated. There shall be no
adjustment pursuant to this Article Fifteen in connection with the distribution,
separation, exercise or other action relating to the Rights; provided, however,
that, if the Rights Agreement is amended, or the Company adopts another
stockholder rights agreement of the nature of the Rights Agreement, such that,
upon separation of the Rights (or rights under the future stockholder rights
agreement) from the Common Stock in accordance with the Rights Agreement (or
future stockholder rights agreement), Holders of Notes would not thereafter be
entitled to receive Rights (or rights under the future stockholder rights
agreement) in respect of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, the
Conversion Rate will be adjusted as provided in Section 1507 on the separation
or rights distribution date, subject to readjustment in the event of expiration,
termination or redemption of the Rights or rights under the future stockholder
rights agreement (but, unless the condition to this sentence does not hold, no
adjustment pursuant to this Article Fifteen in connection with the distribution,
separation, exercise or other action relating to the Rights or rights under the
future stockholder rights agreement shall be made).

SECTION 1517. Company Determination Final.

         Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make
pursuant to this Article Fifteen is conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 1518. Trustee's Adjustment Disclaimer.

         The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this
Article Fifteen 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
1515 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 Notes. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company's
failure to comply with this Article Fifteen. Each Conversion Agent (other than
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) shall have the same protection under
this Section 1518 as the Trustee.

SECTION 1519. Simultaneous Adjustments.

         If this Article Fifteen requires adjustments to the Conversion Rate
under more than one of Sections 1506(4), 1507 or 1508, and the record dates for

                                       62

<PAGE>

         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 1506, second, the provisions of Section 1508 and,
         third, the provisions of Section 1507.

         SECTION 1520.  Successive Adjustments.

              After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article
         Fifteen, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this
         Article Fifteen shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate as so
         adjusted.

         SECTION 1.12. Effect of Article One. The supplements to the Original
Indenture set forth in Article One of this Fifth Supplemental Indenture affect
only the provisions of the Original Indenture as such provisions relate to the

and obligations of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Holders of Notes,

by the Company; provided, however, that in the event the Company sells any Notes
pursuant

                                       63

<PAGE>

to the option granted pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, then the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver additional Notes for original issue on or after the
Issue Date in an aggregate Principal Amount of up to $50,000,000 aggregate
Principal Amount of Notes, upon Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of Notes, without any further action by the Company. The aggregate

                                 NOTE DUE 2007

1.   Interest

     Pride International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), promises
to pay interest on the Principal Amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown
above. The Company shall pay such interest semi-annually in arrears on March 1
and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2002. Interest will be
paid on each Interest Payment Date to the Holder as of the immediately preceding
Regular Record Date, even if such Interest Payment Date is a Redemption Date or
Change in Control Purchase Date but subject to the other provisions of this Note
and the Indenture (including, without limitation, the last sentence of paragraph
6 of this Note, the penultimate sentence of paragraph 7 of this Note and the
last sentence of the third paragraph under paragraph 8 of this Note). Interest
on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or, if no interest has been paid, from March 4, 2002. Interest will be

payments in respect of any Note to the Persons in whose name that Note is
registered at the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the
Redemption Date or the Business Day preceding the Stated Maturity, as the case
may be, or at the close of business on a Change in Control Purchase Date or
Conversion Date, as the case may be. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying
Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Notes. The Company will pay
cash amounts in money of The United States of America that at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company
will make such cash payments (i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds
with respect to Notes held in book-entry form or (ii) by check payable in such
money mailed to a Holder's registered address with respect to any certificated
Notes.

<PAGE>

change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Security Registrar without notice,
other than notice to the Trustee, provided that the Company shall maintain in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency of the
Security Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent. The Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion
Agent and/or Security Registrar.

terms are incorporated herein by reference.

     The Notes are unsecured, general obligations of the Company limited to an
aggregate Principal Amount specified in the Indenture.

     o    the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights
          Agreement, covering resales of the Notes and the Common Stock issuable

          or under such registration statement and may not be sold under Rule

provisions shall be equal to:

     o    100% of the Principal Amount of Notes to be redeemed, plus

     o    accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption
          Date, plus

     o    an amount equal to 7.5% of the Principal Amount of Notes to be
          redeemed, less the amount of any interest actually paid on such Notes
          (or predecessor Notes) on or prior to the Redemption Date (including
          pursuant to the immediately preceding bullet point).

     The Company will be obligated, on the Redemption Date, to make the

6.   Purchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder upon a Change in
     Control

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, if any Change in
Control occurs, the Company shall, at the option of the Holder, purchase all
Notes for which a Change in Control Purchase Notice shall have been delivered as
provided in the Indenture and not withdrawn, on the date that is 35 Business
Days after the occurrence of such Change in Control, for a Change in Control
Purchase Price equal to 100% of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest through and including the Change in Control Purchase Date, which Change
in Control Purchase Price shall be paid in cash.

     Holders have the right to withdraw any Change in Control Purchase Notice by
delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with
the provisions of the Indenture prior to the close of business on the Change in
Control Purchase Date.

     If cash sufficient to pay the Change in Control Purchase Price of all Notes
or portions thereof to be purchased as of the Change in Control Purchase Date is
deposited with the Paying Agent on the Business Day following the Change in
Control Purchase Date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or portions
thereof) on and after the Change in Control Purchase Date, and the Holders
thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to receive the
Change in Control Purchase Price upon surrender of such Note). Without prejudice
to the Company's obligation to pay, on or after a Change in Control Purchase
Date, as part of the Change in Control Purchase Price, any accrued and unpaid
interest expressly included in the Change in Control Purchase Price, no interest
on the Notes to be purchased will be payable by the Company on any Interest
Payment Date subsequent to the Change in Control Purchase Date if the
requirements of the immediately preceding sentence are satisfied.

7.   Notice of Redemption

     Notice of redemption will be given in the manner provided in the Indenture
not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date. If
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes (or portions thereof)
to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Paying Agent prior
to or on the Redemption Date, from and after such Redemption Date, interest
ceases to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof. Without prejudice to the
Company's obligation (if applicable) to pay, on a Redemption Date, as part of
the Redemption Price, any accrued and unpaid interest expressly included in the
Redemption Price, no interest on redeemed Notes will be payable by the Company
on any Interest Payment Date subsequent to the

                                      A-7
<PAGE>
redemption date. Notes 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

     Subject to the next two succeeding sentences, a Holder of a Note may
convert it into Common Stock of the Company at any time before the close of
business on March 1, 2007; provided, however, that if a Note is called for
redemption, the Holder may convert it at any time before the close of business
on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date. The number of shares of Common
Stock to be delivered upon conversion of a Note into Common Stock per $1,000 of
Principal Amount shall be equal to the Conversion Rate. A Note in respect of
which a Holder has delivered a Change in Control Purchase Notice exercising the
option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Note may be
converted only if the notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture.

     The initial Conversion Rate is 60.5694 shares of Common Stock per $1,000
Principal Amount, subject to adjustment in certain events described in the
Indenture. The Company will deliver cash or a check in lieu of any fractional
share of Common Stock.

     Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of
business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to
the opening of business of such Interest Payment Date (except Notes to be
redeemed on a date within such period) must be accompanied by payment of an
amount equal to the interest thereon that the Holder on such Regular Record Date
is to receive. Except where Notes surrendered for conversion must be accompanied
by payment as described above and without prejudice to the Company's obligation
(if applicable) to make, on a Redemption Date, the payment described in the last
paragraph under "Optional Redemption Before March 4, 2005" in paragraph 5 above
(including that portion of such payment constituting accrued and unpaid
interest), no interest on converted Notes will be payable by the Company on any
Interest Payment Date subsequent to the Conversion Date.

     To convert a Note, a Holder must (i) complete and manually sign the
conversion notice on the back of the Note (or complete and manually sign a
facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent (or
the office or agency referred to in Section 1002 of the Indenture) or, if
applicable, complete and deliver to The Depository Trust Company ("DTC" or the
"Depositary," which term includes any successor thereto) the appropriate
instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary's book-entry
conversion program, (ii) surrender the Note to a Conversion

                                      A-8
<PAGE>
Agent by physical or book-entry delivery (which is not necessary in the case of
conversion pursuant to the Depositary's book-entry conversion program), (iii)
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the
Conversion Agent, the Company or the Trustee, (iv) make any payment required
pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph and (v) pay any transfer or
similar tax, if required. Book-entry delivery of a Note to the Conversion Agent
may be made by any financial institution that is a participant in the
Depositary; conversion through the Depositary's book-entry conversion program is
available for any security that is held in an account maintained at the
Depositary by any such participant.

     A Holder may convert a portion of a Note if the Principal Amount of such
portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Except that portion of the
payment (if applicable) described in the last paragraph under "Optional
Redemption Before March 4, 2005" in paragraph 5 above, no Holder of Notes will
be entitled, upon conversion of any Note, to any actual cash payment or
adjustment to the shares of Common Stock into which such Note is convertible on
account of accrued and unpaid interest or on account of dividends on shares of
Common Stock issued in connection with the conversion. On conversion of a Note,
that portion of accrued and unpaid interest attributable to the period from (x)
the later of the Issue Date and the date on which interest was last paid to (y)
the Conversion Date with respect to the converted Note 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 Common Stock in exchange for the Note
being converted pursuant to the terms hereof, and the Fair Market Value of such
Common Stock shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in
exchange for the interest accrued through the Conversion Date, and the balance,
if any, of such Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock shall be
treated as issued in exchange for the Principal Amount of the Note being
converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

     The Conversion Rate will be adjusted for (i) dividends or distributions on
Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company, (ii)
subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of Common Stock, (iii)
distributions to all holders of Common Stock of certain rights, warrants or
options to purchase Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock for
a period expiring within 60 days after the applicable record date for such
distribution at a price per share less than the Sale Price at the Time of
Determination, (iv) distributions to all holders of Common Stock of assets or
debt securities of the Company or certain rights, warrants or options to
purchase securities of the Company (excluding distributions to which any of the
preceding three clauses apply and certain cash dividends or other cash
distributions), (v) cash distributions to substantially all holders of Common
Stock that, together with all other all-cash distributions and consideration
payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries for Common Stock

                                      A-9
<PAGE>
made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds 12.5% of the Company's
aggregate Market Capitalization on the date of the distribution, and (vi)
repurchases (including by way of a tender offer) of Common Stock which involve
an aggregate consideration that, together with (a) any cash and other
consideration payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company
or one of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding
twelve months and (b) the amount of any all-cash distributions to all holders of
Common Stock made within the preceding twelve months, exceeds 12.5% of the
Company's aggregate Market Capitalization on the date of such repurchase.
However, no adjustment need be made if Holders may participate in the
transaction or in certain other cases. The Company from time to time may
voluntarily increase the Conversion Rate.

     If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share
exchange of the type specified in the Indenture, or certain transfers of all or
substantially all of its assets to another Person, or in certain other
circumstances described in the Indenture, the right to convert a Note into
Common Stock may be changed into a right to convert it into the kind and amount
of securities, cash or other assets that the Holder would have received if the
Holder had converted such Holder's Notes immediately prior to such transaction.

9.   Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption

     Any Notes called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion before
the Redemption Date, may be deemed to be purchased from the Holders of such
Notes at an amount not less than the Redemption Price, which includes accrued
interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, by one or more investment banks or
other purchasers who may agree with the Company to purchase such Notes from the
Holders and to make payment for such Notes to the Trustee in trust for such
Holders.

10.  Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

     The Notes initially issued are in permanent global form. Under certain
circumstances described in the Indenture, Notes may also be issued in the form
of certificated Notes in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum
denominations of $1,000 Principal Amount or in integral multiples thereof. A
Holder may register a transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the
Indenture. The Security Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes or
other governmental changes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The
Security Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes
selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be

                                      A-10
<PAGE>
redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Notes in
respect of which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been given and not
withdrawn (except, in the case of a Note to be purchased in part, the portion of
the Note not to be purchased) or any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed.

11.  Persons Deemed Owners

     The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of this Note
for all purposes, except as otherwise provided in Section 203 of the Indenture.

12.  Unclaimed Money for Securities

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes
and remaining unclaimed for three years after such amounts have become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request (unless otherwise
required by mandatory provisions of the applicable escheat or abandoned or
unclaimed property law), or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged
from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured
general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money,
and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required
to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be
published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in The Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, and in such other Authorized Newspapers as the Trustee shall deem
appropriate, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will (unless
otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or
unclaimed property law) be repaid to the Company.

13.  Amendment; Waiver

     Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture
or the Notes may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at least
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding
and (ii) certain defaults or noncompliance with certain provisions may be waived
with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set
forth in the Indenture, without the

                                      A-11
<PAGE>
consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the
Indenture or the Notes in certain respects set forth in the Indenture.

14.  Defaults and Remedies

     Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default in the payment
of interest that continues for a period of 30 days; (ii) default in (a) the
payment of the Principal Amount, Redemption Price or Change in Control Purchase
Price with respect to any Note when the same becomes due and payable or (b) the
delivery of shares of Common Stock (or cash in lieu of fractional interests in
shares of Common Stock) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture when such
Common Stock or cash is required to be delivered following conversion of a Note
and such default is not remedied for a period of 10 days; (iii) failure by the
Company to comply with the provisions of Sections 801 and 1110 of the Indenture;
(iv) failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor for 30 days after notice
from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then Outstanding to comply with any of its other agreements in the
Indenture or the Notes; (v) any Subsidiary Guarantee shall for any reason cease
to be, or be asserted by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable,

Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse
Indebtedness or Limited Recourse Indebtedness) of the Company or any Subsidiary

Indebtedness, which Indebtedness exceeds $10 million in the aggregate; and (vii)
certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries that constitute a Significant Subsidiary or any group of
Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary. If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
Outstanding may declare the Principal Amount of the Notes to be due and payable
immediately, except that, in the case of an Event of Default specified in clause
(iv) above, if the Event of Default affects more than one series of Securities,
the Trustee, or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, of all series of Securities shall be required to make
such declaration Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of
Default that will result in the Principal Amount of the Notes becoming due and
payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

     As set forth in, and subject to the provisions of, the Indenture, no Holder
of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver
or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless certain conditions set
forth in the Indenture have been

                                      A-12
<PAGE>
satisfied. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless
it receives reasonable indemnity or security. Subject to certain limitations
(including that, in some cases, a majority in principal amount of all
Outstanding Securities is required), Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting certain proceedings, or exercising any
trust or power conferred on the Trustee.

15.  Trustee Dealings with the Company

     Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, the

                                    EXHIBIT B

                    FORM OF NOTATION OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE

     Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective
of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the
obligations of the Company thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and any
premium and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due,
whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and
interest on the overdue principal of and interest on premium and interest on the
Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the
Holders or the Trustee thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed,
all in accordance with the terms thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of
time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that
same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the
terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any
performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall
be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.

     The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Holders of Notes and to
the Trustee pursuant to this Subsidiary Guarantee are expressly set forth in
Article Fourteen of the Indenture, and reference is hereby made to such Article
for the precise terms of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The terms of Article
Fourteen of the Indenture are incorporated herein by reference.

     This is a continuing Subsidiary Guarantee and shall remain in full force
and effect and shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its
respective successors and assigns to the extent set forth in the Indenture until
full and final payment of all of the Company's obligations under the Notes and
the Indenture and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of
Notes and their successors and assigns and, in the event of any transfer or
assignment of rights by any Holder of Notes or the Trustee, the rights and
privileges herein conferred upon that party shall automatically extend to and be
vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subsidiary Guarantees may be
discharged in accordance with Article Four of the Indenture and any Subsidiary
Guarantor that satisfies the provisions of Section 1404 of the Indenture shall
be released of its obligations hereunder. This is a Subsidiary Guarantee of
payment and not a guarantee of collection.

                                      B-1
<PAGE>
     This Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose
until the certificate of authentication on the Note upon which this Subsidiary
Guarantee is noted shall have been executed by the Trustee under the Indenture
by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers.

     For purposes hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor's liability will be that
amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder, but shall be limited to the lesser of (i) the aggregate
amount of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture and
(ii) the amount, if any, which would not have (A) rendered such Subsidiary
Guarantor "insolvent" (as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Act and in the
Debtor and Creditor Law of the State of New York) or (B) left it with
unreasonably small capital at the time its Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes was
entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of existing Indebtedness
immediately prior to such time; provided that, it shall be a presumption in any
lawsuit or other proceeding in which such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party that
the amount guaranteed pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee is the amount set
forth in clause (i) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of
such Subsidiary Guarantor, or debtor in possession or trustee in bankruptcy of
such Subsidiary Guarantor, otherwise proves in such a lawsuit that the aggregate
liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor is limited to the amount set forth in
clause (ii). The Indenture provides that, in making any determination as to the
solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with
the previous sentence, the right of such Subsidiary Guarantor to contribution
from other Subsidiary Guarantors and any other rights such Subsidiary Guarantor
may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account.

     Capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings given in that certain
Indenture dated as of May 1, 1997 between Pride International, Inc. (formerly
Pride Petroleum Services, Inc.) and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly The Chase
Manhattan Bank), as Trustee, as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture
dated as of March 4, 2002 between Pride International, Inc. and JPMorgan Chase
Bank, as Trustee, and as otherwise supplemented with applicability with respect
to the Notes, unless otherwise indicated.

                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     This registration rights agreement (the "Agreement") is dated as of March
4, 2002, by and between PRIDE INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and DEUTSCHE BANC ALEX. BROWN INC. (the "Initial Purchaser").

     This Agreement is entered into in connection with the Purchase Agreement,
dated as of February 26, 2002 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and between the
Company and the Initial Purchaser, which provides for the sale by the Company to
the Initial Purchaser of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Company's 21/2% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2007 (the "Firm Notes"), which are
convertible into Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the
"Underlying Shares"), plus up to an additional $50,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of the same which the Initial Purchaser may subsequently elect to
purchase pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the "Additional Notes"
and, together with the Firm Notes, the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible
Notes are being issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of May 1, 1997 (the
"Original Indenture"), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly The
Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee, as amended and supplemented to date and as
further amended and supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture thereto to
be dated as of the date hereof (the Original Indenture, as so amended and
supplemented, the "Indenture").

     In order to induce the Initial Purchaser to enter into the Purchase
Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide the registration rights set forth
in this Agreement for the benefit of the Initial Purchaser and any subsequent
holder or holders of the Convertible Notes or Underlying Shares as provided
herein. The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the
Initial Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Firm Notes under the Purchase
Agreement.

2.   Shelf Registration.

         (a) Shelf Registration. The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made
on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable
Securities (the "Initial Shelf Registration") on or prior to the Filing Date.

     The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 or another appropriate
form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by
Holders in the manner or manners set forth in such Registration Statement and in
Rule 415. The Company shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable
Securities to be included in the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent
Shelf Registration (as defined below).

     The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Initial
Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior
to the Effectiveness Date and to keep such Initial Shelf Registration
continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that is two years
from the Closing Date (as it may be shortened pursuant to clause (i) or clause
(ii) immediately following, the "Effectiveness Period"), or such shorter period
ending when (i) all the Registrable Securities covered by the Initial Shelf
Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the
Initial Shelf Registration, (ii) the date on which all the Registrable
Securities (x) held by Persons who are not affiliates of the Company may be
resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or (y) cease to be
outstanding, or (iii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration covering all of the
Registrable Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act.

         (b) Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration
or any Subsequent Shelf Registration ceases to be effective for any reason at
any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all
of the securities registered thereunder), the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 45 days of such cessation
of effectiveness amend the Initial Shelf Registration in a manner to obtain the
withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an
additional "shelf" Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of
the Registrable Securities (a "Subsequent Shelf Registration"). If a Subsequent
Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts
to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the

                                       4
<PAGE>
Securities Act as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective for a period equal to the number
of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during
which the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registration were
previously continuously effective. As used herein the term "Shelf Registration"
means the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registration and
the term "Shelf Registration Statement" means any Registration Statement filed
in connection with a Shelf Registration.

         (c) Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall promptly supplement
and amend the Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or
instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf
Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested by
the Holders of the majority in Amount of Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement.

3.   Liquidated Damages.

         (a) The Company and the Initial Purchaser agree that the Holders of
Registrable Securities will suffer damages if the Company fails to fulfill its
obligations under Section 2 hereof and that it would not be feasible to
ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Company
agrees to pay liquidated damages on the Registrable Securities ("Liquidated
Damages") under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of
which shall be given independent effect; each a "Registration Default"):

            (i) if the Initial Shelf Registration is not filed on or prior to
the Filing Date, then commencing on the day after the Filing Date, Liquidated
Damages shall accrue on the Registrable Securities at a rate of 0.50% per annum
on the Amount of Registrable Securities for the first 90 days immediately
following the Filing Date, such Liquidated Damages increasing by an additional
0.50% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period;

            (ii) if the Company fails to use all reasonable efforts and the
Initial Shelf Registration is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to
the Effectiveness Date, then commencing one day after the Effectiveness Date,
Liquidated Damages shall accrue on the Registrable Securities at a rate of 0.50%
per annum on the Amount of Registrable Securities for the first 90 days
immediately following the day after such Effectiveness Date, such Liquidated
Damages increasing by an additional 0.50% per annum at the beginning of each
subsequent 90-day period; and

            (iii) if a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and such
Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time during the Effectiveness
Period (other than as permitted under Section 3(b)), then Liquidated Damages
shall accrue on the Registrable Securities at a rate of 0.50% per annum on the
Amount of Registrable Securities for the first 90 days commencing on the day
such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective, such Liquidated Damages
increasing by an additional 0.50% per annum at the beginning of each such
subsequent 90-day period;

provided, however, that Liquidated Damages on the Registrable Securities may not
accrue under more than one of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) at any
one time and at no time shall the

                                       5
<PAGE>
aggregate amount of Liquidated Damages accruing exceed in the aggregate 1.0% per
annum of the Amount of Registrable Securities; provided, further, however, that
(1) upon the filing of the Shelf Registration as required hereunder (in the case
of clause (a)(i) of this Section 3), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf
Registration as required hereunder (in the case of clause (a)(ii) of this
Section 3), or (3) upon the effectiveness or availability of a Shelf
Registration which had ceased to remain effective or available (in the case of
(a)(iii) of this Section 3), Liquidated Damages on the Registrable Securities as
a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof), as the case may be,
shall cease to accrue. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary, so long as any Registrable Security is then covered
by an effective Shelf Registration Statement, no Liquidated Damages shall accrue
on such Registrable Security.

         (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 3, the Company shall
be permitted to suspend the effectiveness or availability of a Shelf
Registration for any reason whatsoever for up to 30 consecutive days in any 90
day period, for a total of not more than 60 days in any calendar year, without
paying Liquidated Damages.

         (c) So long as Convertible Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall
notify the Trustee within two Business Days after each and every date on which
an event occurs in respect of which Liquidated Damages is required to be paid.
Any amounts of Liquidated Damages due pursuant to (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of
this Section 3 will be payable in cash semi-annually on each September 1 and
March 1 (each a "Damages Payment Date"), commencing with the first such date
occurring after any such Liquidated Damages commences to accrue, to Holders to
whom regular interest is payable on such Damages Payment Date with respect to
Convertible Notes that are Registrable Securities and to Persons that are
registered Holders 15 days prior to such Damages Payment Date with respect to
Underlying Shares that are Registrable Securities. The amount of Liquidated
Damages for Registrable Securities will be determined by multiplying the
applicable rate of Liquidated Damages by the Amount of Registrable Securities
outstanding on the Damages Payment Date following such Registration Default in
the case of the first such payment of Liquidated Damages with respect to a
Registration Default (and thereafter at the next succeeding Damages Payment Date
until the cure of such Registration Default), multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days such Liquidated Damages rate was
applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the
actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360.

4.   Registration Procedures. In connection with the filing of any Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall effect such
registrations to permit the sale of the securities covered thereby in accordance
with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto
and in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company hereunder
the Company shall:

         (a) Prepare and file with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Date, a
Registration Statement or Registration Statements as prescribed by Section 2
hereof, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration
Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided,
however, that before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to and afford

                                       6
<PAGE>
the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents proposed to be
filed, other than documents filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are deemed incorporated by reference
in such Registration Statement or Prospectus (in each case, where possible, at
least five Business Days prior to such filing, or such later date as is
reasonable under the circumstances). The Company shall not file any Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto if the Holders
of a majority in Amount of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement shall reasonably object.

         (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
amendments to each Shelf Registration, as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period;
cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement
required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule
424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities
Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by
such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so
supplemented. Subject to Section 3(b), the Company shall be deemed not to have
used its reasonable best efforts to keep a Registration Statement effective
during the Effectiveness Period if it voluntarily takes any action that would
result in selling Holders of the Registrable Securities covered thereby not
being able to sell such Registrable Securities during that period unless such
action is required by applicable law or unless the Company complies with this
Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Section 4(j) hereof.

         (c) Notify the selling Holders of Registrable Securities promptly (but
in any event within two Business Days), (i) when a Prospectus or any prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective under the Securities Act (including in such notice a written statement
that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, at the sole expense of the Company,
one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment
including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC
of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of
any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) of the happening of any
event, the existence of any condition or any information becoming known that
makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or
any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference
untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in or
amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or
documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iv) of the
Company's determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement would be appropriate.

                                       7
<PAGE>
         (d) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any
order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order
preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus and, if any such order is
issued, to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such
order at the earliest possible moment.

         (e) If requested, furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable
Securities and a single counsel to such Holders (chosen in accordance with
Section 5(b)) at the sole expense of the Company, one conformed copy of the
Registration Statement or Registration Statements and each post-effective
amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all
documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all
exhibits.

         (f) Deliver to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities and a
single counsel to such Holders (chosen in accordance with Section 5(b)) at the
sole expense of the Company, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each
form of preliminary prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto and any
documents incorporated by reference therein as such Persons may reasonably
request; and, subject to the second paragraph of Section 4(p) hereof, the
Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or
supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and
the agents, if any, and dealers (if any), in connection with the offering and
sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment
or supplement thereto.

         (g) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, to use its
reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, to the extent required by
applicable law, and to cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable
Securities in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption
from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities or offer
and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the
United States as any selling Holder reasonably requests; provided, however, that
the Company agrees to cause the Company's counsel to perform Blue Sky
investigations and file registrations and qualifications required to be filed
pursuant to this Section 4(g); keep each such registration or qualification (or
exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is
required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (A) qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified,
(B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to
taxation in excess of a nominal dollar amount in any such jurisdiction where it
is not then so subject.

         (h) Cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any
restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with The
Depository Trust Company; and enable such shares of Registrable Securities to be
in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may reasonably
request.

         (i) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities
covered by any Shelf Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by
such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be reasonably necessary
to enable the seller or

                                       8
<PAGE>
sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities,
except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling
Holder's business, in which case the Company will cooperate in all reasonable
respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such
approvals.

         (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph
4(c)(ii), 4(c)(iii) or 4(c)(iv) hereof, as promptly as practicable give notice
to suspend the availability in the Registration Statement as contemplated by
Section 3(b) and, subject to Section 3(b), prepare and (subject to Section 4(a)
hereof) file with the SEC, at the sole expense of the Company, a supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder,
any such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

         (k) Prior to the effective date of the first Registration Statement
relating to the Registrable Securities, (i) provide the Trustee with
certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with
The Depository Trust Company and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable
Securities.

         (l) Make available for inspection by any selling Holder of such
Registrable Securities being sold and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by any such selling Holder (collectively, the "Inspectors"), at the
offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours at such time or
times as shall be mutually convenient for the Company and the Inspectors as a
group, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Records") as
shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due
diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested
by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement; provided,
however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be
coordinated on behalf of such Holders by one firm of counsel, which firm shall
be Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. until another firm shall be designated pursuant to
Section 5(b). Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be
confidential and any Records that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential
shall not be disclosed by any Inspector unless (i) the disclosure of such
Records is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or material
omission in such Registration Statement if such Registration Statement is then
available, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or
other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) disclosure of such
information is, in the opinion of counsel for any Inspector, necessary or
advisable in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly
involving or potentially involving such Inspector and arising out of, based
upon, relating to, or involving this Agreement or any transactions contemplated
hereby or arising hereunder or (iv) the information in such Records has been
made generally available to the public other than through the acts of such
Inspector; provided, however, that prior notice shall be provided as soon as
practicable to the Company of the potential disclosure of any information by
such Inspector pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this sentence to permit the
Company to obtain a protective order

                                       9
<PAGE>
(or waive the provisions of this paragraph (l)). Each Inspector shall take such
actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such
information to the extent such actions are otherwise not inconsistent with, an
impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of the Holder or any
Inspector, unless and until such information in such Records has been made
generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this
Agreement.

         (m) Provide (i) the Holders of the Registrable Securities to be
included in such Registration Statement and not more than one counsel for all
the Holders of such Registrable Securities chosen in accordance with Section
5(b), (ii) the sales or placement agent, if any, thereof, and (iii) one counsel
for such agents, reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of
such Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein or filed with the
SEC, and each amendment or supplement thereto.

         (n) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and
make generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying
the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder
(or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45 days
after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month
period if such period is a fiscal year) commencing on the first day of the first
fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of a Registration
Statement, which statements shall cover said 12-month periods.

         (o) Cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than
the effective date of the first Registration Statement relating to the
Registrable Securities; and in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee
and the Holders of the Registrable Securities to effect such changes to the
Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance
with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such
changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to
enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.

         (p) Use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary
or advisable to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities covered by
a Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

         The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to
which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company the Notice
and Questionnaire attached to the Offering Memorandum dated February 26, 2002
used in connection with the offer of the Convertible Notes and such other
information regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable
Securities as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request to the
extent necessary or advisable to comply with the Securities Act. The Company may
exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any seller if such
seller fails to furnish such Notice and Questionnaire and such information
within 20 Business Days after receiving such request. Each seller as to which
any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the
Company all information required to be disclosed so that the information
previously furnished to the Company by such seller is not materially misleading
and does not omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made.

                                       10
<PAGE>
         Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such
Registrable Securities that, upon actual receipt of any notice from the Company
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(c)(ii),
4(c)(iii) or 4(c)(iv) hereof, or upon the suspension of the availability of the
Registration Statement as contemplated by Section 3(b) such Holder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement or Prospectus until such Holder's receipt of the copies
of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(j) hereof,
or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable
Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or
supplements thereto.

5.   Registration Expenses.

         (a) All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance
with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company, including,
without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or Blue Sky
laws (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities
and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for
investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as provided in Section 4(g)
hereof), (ii) printing expenses, including, without limitation, expenses of
printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit
with The Depository Trust Company, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery
expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable
fees and disbursements of one special counsel for the sellers of Registrable
Securities (subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) hereof), (v) Securities
Act liability insurance, if the Company desires such insurance, (vi) fees and
expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company, (vii) internal expenses
of the Company (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of
officers and employees of the Company performing legal or accounting duties),
(viii) the expense of any annual audit, (ix) the fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on any securities
exchange, if applicable, and (x) the expenses relating to printing, word
processing and distributing all Registration Statements, securities sales
agreements and any other documents necessary in order to comply with this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each
Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and brokerage commissions with
respect to any Registrable Securities sold by it.

         (b) The Company shall reimburse the Holders of the Registrable
Securities being registered in a Shelf Registration for the reasonable fees and
disbursements of not more than one counsel chosen by the Holders of a majority
in Amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration
Statement, which counsel shall be Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. until another firm
shall be designated pursuant to this Section 5(b).

6.   Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the
Initial Purchaser, (ii) each Holder, (iii) each Person, if any, who controls
(within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act) any of the foregoing (any of the Persons referred to in this
clause (iii) being hereinafter referred to as a "controlling person"), (iv) the
respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents
of the Initial Purchaser, the Holders (including predecessor Holders) or any
controlling person (any person referred to in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)
may hereinafter be referred to as an "Indemnified

                                       11
<PAGE>
Holder"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
judgments (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding
or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related preliminary
prospectus, or caused by 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, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
relating to any Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder
expressly for use in therein; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
liable to any Indemnified Holder under the indemnity agreement of this paragraph
with respect to any preliminary prospectus to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, judgment or expense of such Indemnified Holder results
from the fact that such Indemnified Holder sold Registrable Securities under a
Registration Statement to a Person as to whom it shall be established that there
was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a
copy of the Prospectus (or of the preliminary prospectus as then amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished such Indemnified Holder with
such amendment or supplement thereto on a timely basis), in any case where such
delivery is required by applicable law and the loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense of such Indemnified Holder results from an untrue statement or omission
of a material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus which was corrected
in the Prospectus (or in the preliminary prospectus as then amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished such Indemnified Holder with
such amendment or supplement thereto, as the case may be, on a timely basis).
The Company shall notify Indemnified Holder promptly of the institution, threat
or assertion of any claim, proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
or litigation in connection with the matters addressed by this Agreement which
involves the Company or such Indemnified Holder.

         Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, officers and each Person who controls the
Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the
Company to each Holder, but only with reference to such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities which are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information relating to a Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such
Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto or any related preliminary prospectus.

         If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against
any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the
two preceding paragraphs, such Person (the "Indemnified Person") shall promptly
notify the Person or Persons against whom such indemnity may be sought (each an
"Indemnifying Person") in writing, and such Indemnifying Person, upon request of
the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 that the Indemnifying Person may
designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel related to such

                                       12
<PAGE>
proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right
to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) such Indemnifying Person and
the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) such
Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person or (iii) the named parties in
any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnifying
Person and an Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interests between them. It
is understood that an Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any
proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall
be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the indemnified
Holders shall be designated in writing by the Holders of the majority in Amount
of Registrable Securities, and any such separate firm for the Company, its
directors, respective officers and such control Persons of the Company shall be
designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, such Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify any Indemnified
Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.

         If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs
of this Section 6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then
each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Indemnifying Person on the one hand and the Indemnified
Person on the other hand pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or from the offering
of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying
Person on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and any Indemnified
Holder on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total
net proceeds from the initial offering and sale of Convertible Notes (before
deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total net proceeds
received by such Indemnified Holder from sales of Registrable Securities giving
rise to such obligations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or such Indemnified
Holder and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

                                       13
<PAGE>
         Each of the Company and the Initial Purchaser agrees that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of
the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in
connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no event shall any Holder
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net
proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which
such Holder would have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

         The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall
not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.

         The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of
any Holder or any Person controlling any Holder or by or on behalf of the
Company, its officers or directors or any other Person controlling any of the
Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Registrable
Securities.

7.   Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it will file the reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in a timely manner in
accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and,
for so long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, if at any time the
Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any
Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities, make available such
information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities
Act. The Company further covenants that, for so long as any Registrable
Securities remain outstanding, it will use its reasonable best efforts to take
such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to
sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within
the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144(k) and Rule 144A under
the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (b) any
similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to
register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

8.   Miscellaneous.

         (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not, as of the date
hereof, and the Company shall not, after the date of this Agreement, enter into
any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with
the rights granted to the Holders of

                                       14
<PAGE>
Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof. The Company has not entered and will not enter into any
agreement with respect to any of its securities that will grant to any Person
piggyback registration rights with respect to a Registration Statement, except
to the extent any existing right has heretofore been waived.

         (b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company shall
not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable
Securities as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders of
Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a registration
undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

         (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written
consent of the Company and the Holders of not less than a majority in Amount of
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Section 6 and this Section 8(c)
may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent
of the Company and each Holder (including, in the case of an amendment,
modification or supplement of Section 6, any Person who was a Holder of
Registrable Securities disposed of pursuant to any Registration Statement).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of
Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair,
limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities may be
given by Holders of at least a majority in Amount of the Registrable Securities
being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration Statement. Each Holder
of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound by any
such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to
this Section 8(c), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such
amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent appears on the
Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder. Each Holder may waive
compliance with respect to any obligation of the Company under this Agreement as
it may apply or be enforced by such particular Holder.

         (d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered
first-class mail, next-day air courier or facsimile:

current address of such Holder set forth on the records of the security

the Company.
