     Section 1.03.  Incorporation by Reference of Trust Indenture Act.  Whenever
this Indenture refers to a provision of the TIA, the provision is incorporated
by reference in and made a part of this Indenture.  The following TIA terms used

     "Commission" means the SEC.

     "indenture securities" means the Securities.

     "indenture security holder" means a Securityholder.

     "indenture trustee" or "institutional trustee" means the Trustee.

     "obligor" on the indenture securities means the Company.

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

     Section 1.04.  Rules of Construction.  Unless the context otherwise
requires:

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

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

     (c) "or" is not exclusive;

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

     (e) words in the singular include the plural, and words in the plural

     Section 1.05   Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to
be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or
by their agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
"Act" of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of
any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

     (c)  The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the register for the
Securities or by a certificate of the Registrar.

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

     (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may,
at its option, by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, fix in
advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is
fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders
of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be
Holders for purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion
of outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
and for that purpose the outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such
record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the
Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months
after the record date.

                                   Article 2
                                 The Securities

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Section 2.01  Form and Dating. The Securities and the Trustee's certificate
of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, which is a
part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage (provided that any
such notation, legend or endorsement required by usage is in a form acceptable
to the Company). The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or
endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of
its authentication.

     (a) 144A Global Securities. The Securities will be offered and sold within
the United States to qualified institutional investors as defined in Rule 144A
("QIBs") in reliance on Rule 144A and shall be issued, initially in the form of
a 144A Global Security, which shall be deposited with the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the
name of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or the nominee thereof (such
depositary, or any successor thereto, and any such nominee being hereinafter
referred to as the "Depositary"), duly executed by the Company and authenticated
by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate Principal Amount at
Maturity of the 144A Global Securities may from time to time be increased or
decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary
as hereinafter provided.

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

     Any adjustment of the aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of a Global
Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of
outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in
accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section
2.12 hereof and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.
     (b)  Book-Entry Provisions.

     The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this
Section 2.01(b), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global
Securities that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary, (b) shall
be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's
instructions and (c) shall bear legends substantially to the following effect:

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

     TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE,
     BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY OR TO A
     SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR'S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF
     THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
     THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE TWO OF THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON
     THE REVERSE HEREOF.

     Section 2.02  Execution and Authentication. The Securities shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer, under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon. The signature of the Officer on the Securities may be manual
or facsimile.

     Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at the time of the execution of the Securities the proper Officers of the
Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication of
such Securities.

                                       8
<PAGE>

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

     The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities for original issue in
an aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of up to $488,750,000 upon a Company
Order without any further action by the Company. The aggregate Principal Amount
at Maturity of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed the amount set
forth in the foregoing sentence, except as provided in Section 2.07.

     The Securities shall be issued only in registered form without coupons and
only in denominations of $1,000 of Principal Amount at Maturity and any integral
multiple thereof.

     Section 2.03 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company
shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar"), an office or agency
where Securities may be presented for purchase or payment ("Paying Agent") and
an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion
("Conversion Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and
of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars,
one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion
agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent, including
any named pursuant to Section 4.05. The term Conversion Agent includes any
additional conversion agent, including any named pursuant to Section 4.05.

     The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any
Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or co-registrar (other than the
Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that
relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and
address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying
Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled
to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.06. The Company or
any Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them may act as Paying Agent,
Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-registrar.

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

     Section 2.04  Paying Agent to Hold Money and Securities in Trust. Except as
otherwise provided herein, on or prior to each due date of payments in respect
of any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum of money
(in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) or Class A Common
Stock sufficient to make such payments when so becoming due. The Company shall
require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the
Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the
Trustee all money and Class A Common Stock held by the Paying Agent for the
making of payments in respect of the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of
any default by the Company in making any such payment. At any time during the
continuance of any such default, the Paying Agent shall, upon the written
request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all money and Class A
Common Stock so held in trust. If the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of
either of them acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and Class A
Common Stock held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund.
The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money and Class A
Common-Stock held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds and Class A
Common Stock disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no
further liability for the money or Class A Common Stock.

     Section 2.05  Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it
of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee at least
semiannually on May 1 and November 1 a listing of Securityholders dated within
15 days of the date on which the list is furnished and at such other times as
the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as
the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of
Securityholders.

     Section 2.06  Transfer and Exchange. Subject to Section 2.12 hereof, (a)
upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security, together with a
written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by
the Securityholder or such Securityholder's attorney duly authorized in writing,
at the office or agency of the Company designated as Registrar or co-registrar
pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute,

                                       9
<PAGE>

and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized
denomination or denominations, of alike aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity.
The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all
taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in
connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the
Securityholder requesting such transfer or exchange.

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

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

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a
Global Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the
Depositary, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made
only in accordance with Section 2.12 and this Section 2.06(b). Transfers of a
Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole,
or in part, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or
such successor's nominee.

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

     (d) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof shall provide
to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably require in
connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or
exchange of Securities.

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

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

     Section 2.07  Replacement Securities. If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to
their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there
is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated
Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen

                                       10
<PAGE>

Security, a new Security of like tenor and Principal Amount at Maturity, bearing
a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become
or is about to become due and payable, or is about to be purchased by the
Company pursuant to Article 3 hereof, the Company in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Security, pay or purchase such Security, as the case may be.

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

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

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

     Section 2.08  Outstanding Securities; Determinations of Holders' Action.
Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the
Trustee except for those cancelled by it or delivered to it for cancellation,
those paid pursuant to Section 2.07 and those described in this Section 2.08 as
not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company
or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security; provided, however, that in
determining whether the Holders of the requisite Principal Amount at Maturity of
Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company
or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such
other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except
that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only
Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows to be so owned shall
be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the
time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination
(including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles 6 and 9).

     If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

     If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a
Redemption Date, or on the Business Day following the Purchase Date or a Change
in Control Purchase Date, or on Stated Maturity, money or securities, if
permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then
immediately after such Redemption Date, Purchase Date, Change in Control
Purchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, such Securities shall
cease to be outstanding and Original Issue Discount and interest on such
Securities shall cease to accrue; provided that, if such Securities are to be
redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this
Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made.

     If a Security is converted in accordance with Article 11, then from and
after the time of conversion on the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease
to be outstanding and Original Issue Discount and interest shall cease to accrue
on such Security.

     Section 2.09  Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive
Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they
are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

     If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive
Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office
or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.03,
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in

                                       11
<PAGE>

exchange therefor a like Principal Amount at Maturity of definitive Securities
of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities.

     Section 2.10  Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment,
purchase by the Company pursuant to Article 3, conversion, redemption or
registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by
it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered
shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 11. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by
the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of destruction to the
Company.

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

     Section 2.12  Global Securities. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers of a Global Security, in
whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with Section 2.06 and Section
2.12(a)(i) below.

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

     (b)     Subject to the succeeding paragraph, every Security shall be
subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend including the
delivery of an opinion of counsel, if so provided. Whenever any Restricted
Security is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange for a Security registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such
Security must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set
forth in Exhibit B-1, dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder
of such Security, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The
Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of transfer or
exchange any Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

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

                                       12

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

     (e) The provisions below shall apply to the Global Securities:

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

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

          (iii) Subject to the provisions of clause 2.12(e)(v) below, the
     registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person,
     including Agent Members (as defined below) and persons that may hold
     interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a holder is
     entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

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

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

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

                                       13
<PAGE>

affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                           REDEMPTION AND PURCHASES

     Section 3.01  Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee. The Company, at its
option, may redeem the Securities in accordance with the provisions of
paragraphs 5 and 7 of the Securities. If the Company elects to redeem Securities
pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the Redemption Date, the Principal Amount at Maturity of Securities
to be redeemed and the Redemption Price.

     The Company shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for in this
Section 3.01 by a Company Order, at least 60 days before the Redemption Date
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

     Section 3.02  Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the
Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method the Trustee considers fair
and appropriate (so long as such method is not prohibited by the rules of any
stock exchange on which the Securities are then listed). The Trustee shall make
the selection at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption
Date from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The
Trustee may select for redemption portions of the Principal Amount at Maturity
of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000.

     Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in Principal
Amounts at Maturity of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of
this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to
portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

     If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before
termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security
so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as
may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been
converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the
Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

     Section 3.03  Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60
days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.

     The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:
     (a) the Redemption Date;

     (b) the Redemption Price;

     (c) the Conversion Rate;

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

     (e) that Securities called for redemption may be converted at any time
before the close of business on the Redemption Date;

     (f) that Holders who want to convert Securities must satisfy the
requirements set forth in paragraph 8 of the Securities;

     (g) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

     (h) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the
certificate number and Principal Amounts at Maturity of the particular
Securities to be redeemed;

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

     (j) the CUSIP number of the Securities.

                                       14
<PAGE>

     At the Company's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption
in the Company's name and at the Company's expense, provided that the Company
makes such request at least three Business Days prior to such notice of
redemption.

     Section 3.04  Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is
given, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption
Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice, except for Securities
which are converted in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Upon
surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption
Price stated in the notice.

     Section 3.05  Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying
Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is
the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than
Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which on or prior
thereto have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or
have been converted. The Paying Agent shall as promptly as practicable return to
the Company any money, with interest, if any, thereon, not required for that
purpose because of conversion of Securities pursuant to Article 11. If such
money is then held by the Company in trust and is not required for such purpose,
it shall be discharged from such trust.

     Section 3.06  Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security
that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Security in an authorized
denomination equal in Principal Amount at Maturity to the unredeemed portion of
the Security surrendered.

     Section 3.07  Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption. In connection
with any redemption of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase and
conversion of any Securities called for redemption by an agreement with one or
more investment banks or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying
to the Trustee in trust for the Securityholders, on or prior to 10:00 a.m. New
York City time on the Redemption Date, an amount that, together with any amounts
deposited with the Trustee by the Company for the redemption of such Securities,
is not less than the Redemption Price of such Securities. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article 3, the obligation of the
Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Securities shall be deemed to be
satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such
purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Securities 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 11) 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 Securities 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 Securities. Without the Trustee's prior
written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the
purchase and conversion of any Securities 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 (other than arising
from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Trustee) arising
out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purchase and
conversion of any Securities 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, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture.

     Section 3.08  Purchase of Securities at Option of the Holder.(a)
General. Securities shall be purchased by the Company pursuant to paragraph 6 of
-------
the Securities as of August 16, 2003, August 16, 2008 and August 16, 2013 (each,
a "Purchase Date"), at the purchase price of $635.88 per $1,000 of Principal
Amount at Maturity as of August 16, 2003, $724.58 per $1,000 of Principal Amount
at Maturity as of August 16, 2008 and of $827.53 per $1,000 of Principal Amount
at Maturity as of August 16, 2013 (each, a "Purchase Price", as applicable), at
the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

             (i)   delivery to the Paying Agent, by the Holder of a written
     notice of purchase (a "Purchase Notice") at any time from the opening of
     business on the date that is at least 20 Business Days prior to a Purchase
     Date until the close of business on such Purchase Date stating:

                   (A) the certificate number of the Security which the Holder
             will deliver to be purchased,

                                       15
<PAGE>

               (B) the portion of the Principal Amount at Maturity of the
          Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion
          must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof,

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

               (D) in the event the Company elects, pursuant to Section 3.08(b),
          to pay the Purchase Price to be paid as of such Purchase Date, in
          whole or in part, in shares of Class A Common Stock but such portion
          of the Purchase Price shall ultimately be payable to such Holder
          entirely in cash because any of the conditions to payment of the
          Purchase Price in Class A Common Stock is not satisfied prior to the
          close of business on such Purchase Date, as set forth in Section
          3.08(d), whether such Holder elects (i) to withdraw such Purchase
          Notice as to some or all of the Securities to which such Purchase
          Notice relates (stating the Principal Amount at Maturity and
          certificate numbers of the Securities as to which such withdrawal
          shall relate), or (ii) to receive cash in respect of the entire
          Purchase Price for all Securities (or portions thereof) to which such
          Purchase Notice relates; and

          (ii) delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent prior to, on or
     after the Purchase Date (together with all necessary endorsements) at the
     offices of the Paying Agent, such delivery being a condition to receipt by
     the Holder of the Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such
     Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.08 only if the
     Security so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to
     the description thereof in the related Purchase Notice, as determined by
     the Company.

     If a Holder, in such Holder's Purchase Notice and in any written notice of
withdrawal delivered by such Holder pursuant to the terms of Section 3.10, fails
to indicate such Holder's choice with respect to the election set forth in
clause (D) of Section 3.08(a)(i), such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to
receive cash in respect of the Purchase Price for all Securities subject to such
Purchase Notice in the circumstances set forth in such clause (D).

     The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this
Section 3.08, a portion of a Security if the Principal Amount at Maturity of
such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the
purchase of such portion of such Security.

     Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 3.08 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be
received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Purchase Date and the
time of delivery of the Security.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to
the Paying Agent the Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.08(a) shall
have the right to withdraw such Purchase Notice at any time prior to the close
of business on the Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal
to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.10.

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

     (b) Company's Right to Elect Manner of Payment of Purchase Price. The
         ------------------------------------------------------------
Securities to be purchased pursuant to Section 3.08(a) may be paid for, at the
election of the Company, in U.S. legal tender ("cash") or Class A Common Stock,
or in any combination of cash and Class A Common Stock, subject to the
conditions set forth in Sections 3.08(c) and (d). The Company shall designate,
in the Company Notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.08(e), whether the Company
will purchase the Securities for cash or Class A Common Stock, or, if a
combination thereof, the percentages of the Purchase Price of Securities in
respect of which it will pay in cash or Class A Common Stock; provided that the
Company will pay cash for fractional interests in Class A Common Stock. For
purposes of determining the existence of potential fractional interests, all
Securities subject to purchase by the Company held by a Holder shall be
considered together (no matter how many separate certificates are to be
presented). Each Holder whose Securities are purchased pursuant to this Section
3.08 shall receive the same percentage of cash or Class A Common Stock in
payment of the Purchase Price for such Securities, except (i) as provided in
Section 3.08(d) with regard to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares
of Class A Common Stock and (ii) in the event that the Company is unable to
purchase the Securities of a Holder or Holders for Class A

                                       16
<PAGE>

Common Stock because any necessary qualifications or registrations of the Class
A Common Stock under applicable state securities laws cannot be obtained, the
Company may purchase the Securities of such Holder or Holders for cash. The
Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration (or
components or percentages o f components thereof) to be paid once the Company
has given its Company Notice to Securityholders except pursuant to this Section
3.08(b) or pursuant to Section 3.08(d) in the event of a failure to satisfy,
prior to the close of business on the Purchase Date, any condition to the
payment of the Purchase Price, in whole or in part, in Class A Common Stock.

     At least three Business Days before the Company Notice Date, the Company
shall deliver an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee specifying:

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

          (ii)  the information required by Section 3.08(e),

          (iii) if the Company elects to pay the Purchase Price, or a specified
     percentage thereof, in Class A Common Stock, that the conditions to such
     manner of payment set forth in Section 3.08(d) have been or will be
     complied with, and

          (iv)  whether the Company desires the Trustee to give the Company
     Notice required by Section 3.08(e).

     (c) Purchase with Cash.  On each Purchase Date, at the option of the
         ------------------
Company, the Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice
pursuant to Section 3.08(a) has been given, or a specified percentage thereof,
may be paid by the Company with cash equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of
such Securities. If the Company elects to purchase Securities with cash, the
Company Notice, as provided in Section 3.08(e), shall be sent to Holders (and to
beneficial owners as required by applicable law) not less than 20 Business Days
prior to such Purchase Date (the "Company Notice Date").

     (d) Payment by Issuance of Class A Common Stock.  On each Purchase Date, at
         -------------------------------------------
the option of the Company, the Purchase Price of Securities in respect of which
a Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 3.08(a) has been given, or a specified
percentage thereof, may be paid by the Company by the issuance of a number of
shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i)
the amount of cash to which the Securityholders would have been entitled had the
Company elected to pay all or such specified percentage, as the case may be, of
the Purchase Price of such Securities in cash by (ii) the Market Price of a
share of Class A Common Stock, subject to the next succeeding paragraph.

     The Company will not issue a fractional share of Class A Common Stock in
payment of the Purchase Price. Instead the Company will pay cash for the current
market value of the fractional share. The current market value of a fraction of
a share shall be determined by multiplying the Market Price by such fraction and
rounding the product to the nearest whole cent. It is understood that if a
Holder elects to have more than one Security purchased, the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock shall be based on the aggregate amount of Securities to be
purchased.

     If the Company elects to purchase the Securities by the issuance of shares
of Class A Common Stock, the Company Notice, as provided in Section 3.08(e),
shall be sent to the Holders (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable
law) not later than the Company Notice Date.

     The Company's right to exercise its election to purchase the Securities
pursuant to Section 3.08 through the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock
shall be conditioned upon:

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

               (ii)  the registration of the shares of Class A Common Stock to
          be issued in respect of the payment of the Purchase Price under the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the
          Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in
          each case, if required;

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

                                       17
<PAGE>

               (iv) the receipt by the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and
          an Opinion of Counsel each stating that (A) the terms of the issuance
          of the Class A Common Stock are in conformity with this Indenture and
          (B) the shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued by the Company in
          payment of the Purchase Price in respect of Securities have been duly
          authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of
          this Indenture in payment of the Purchase Price in respect of the
          Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and,
          to the best of such counsel's knowledge, free from preemptive rights,
          and, in the case of such Officers' Certificate, stating that
          conditions (i), (ii) and (iii) above and the condition set forth in
          the second succeeding sentence have been satisfied and, in the case of
          such Opinion of Counsel, stating that conditions (ii) and (iii) above
          has been satisfied.

     Such Officers' Certificate shall also set forth the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock to be issued for each $1,000 Principal Amount at Maturity
of Securities and the Sale Price of a share of Class A Common Stock on each
trading day during the period commencing on the first trading day of the period
during which the Market Price is calculated and ending on the applicable
Purchase Date. The Company may pay the Purchase Price (or any portion thereof)
in Class A Common Stock only if the information necessary to calculate the
Market Price is published in The Wall Street Journal or another daily newspaper
of national circulation. If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied with
respect to a Holder or Holders prior to the close of business on the Purchase
Date and the Company has elected to purchase the Securities pursuant to this
Section 3.08 through the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company
shall pay the entire Purchase Price of the Securities of such Holder or Holders
in cash.

     The "Market Price" means the average of the Sale Prices of the Class A
Common Stock for the five trading day period ending on (if the third Business
Day prior to the applicable Purchase Date is a trading day, or if not, then on
the last trading day prior to) the third Business Day prior to the applicable
Purchase Date, appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence,
during the period commencing on the first of such trading days during such five
trading day period and ending on such Purchase Date (or other date in question,
for the purpose of adjusting the Conversion Rate), of any event described in
Section 11.06, 11.07 or 11.08; subject, however, to the conditions set forth in
Sections 11.09 and 11.10.

     The "Sale Price" of the Class A Common Stock on any date means the closing
per share sale price (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of
the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the
average bid and average ask prices) on such date as reported in the composite
transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which the
Class A Common Stock is traded or, if the Class A Common Stock is not listed on
a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System. In the
absence of such quotations, the Company shall be entitled to determine the Sale
Price on the basis of such quotations as it considers appropriate.

          (e) Notice of Election.  The Company's notice of election to purchase
              ------------------
     with cash or Class A Common Stock or any combination thereof shall be sent
     to the Holders (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) in
     the manner provided in Section 13.02 at the time specified in Section
     3.08(c) or (d), as applicable (the "Company Notice"). Such Company Notice
     shall state the manner of payment elected and shall contain the following
     information:

     In the event the Company has elected to pay the Purchase Price (or a
specified percentage thereof) with Class A Common Stock, the Company Notice
shall:
               (i)   state that each Holder will receive Class A Common Stock
          with a Market Price determined as of a specified date prior to the

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

               (ii)  set forth the method of calculating the Market Price of the
          Class A Common Stock; and

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

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

               (A) the Purchase Price and the Conversion Rate;

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

               (C) that Securities as to which a Purchase Notice has been given
          may be converted pursuant to Article 11 hereof only if the applicable
          Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of
          this Indenture;

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

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

               (F) the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise rights
          under Section 3.08 and a brief description of those rights;

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

               (H) the procedures for withdrawing a Purchase Notice (including,
          without limitation, for a conditional withdrawal pursuant to the terms
          of Section 3.08(a)(i)(D) or Section 3.10);

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

               (J) the CUSIP number of the Securities.

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

     Upon determination of the actual number of shares of Class A Common Stock
to be issued for each $1,000 Principal Amount at Maturity of Securities, the
Company will publish such determination in The Wall Street Journal or another
daily newspaper of national circulation.

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

     The Company shall use its best efforts to list or cause to have quoted any
shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to purchase Securities on each
national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on
which the Class A Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

     (g) Procedure upon Purchase.  The Company shall deposit cash (in respect of
         -----------------------
a cash purchase under Section 3.08(c) or for fractional interests, as
applicable) or shares of Class A Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as
applicable, at the time and in the manner as provided in Section 3.11,
sufficient to pay the aggregate Purchase Price of all Securities to be purchased
pursuant to this Section 3.08.  As soon as practicable after the Purchase Date,
the Company shall deliver to each Holder entitled to receive Class A Common
Stock through the Paying Agent, a certificate for the number of full shares of
Class A Common Stock issuable in payment of the Purchase Price and cash in lieu
of any fractional interests.  The person in whose name the certificate for Class
A Common Stock is registered shall be treated as a holder of record of shares of
Class A Common Stock on the Business Day following the Purchase Date.  Subject
to Section 3.08(d), no payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the
Class A Common Stock the record date for which occurred on or prior to the
Purchase Date.

     (h) Taxes.  If a Holder of a Security is paid in Class A Common Stock, the
         -----
Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on
such issue of shares of Class A Common Stock.  However, the Holder shall pay any
such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares of Class A Common
Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder's name.  The Paying Agent may
refuse to deliver the certificates representing the Class A Common Stock being
issued in a name other than the Holder's name until the

                                       19
<PAGE>

Paying Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because
the shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than the
Holder's name. Nothing herein shall preclude any income tax withholding required
by law or regulations.

     Section 3.09  Purchase of Securities at Option of the Holder upon Change in
Control. (a) If on or prior to August 16, 2003 there shall have occurred a
Change in Control, all or a portion of the Securities of any Holder shall be
purchased by the Company, at the option of such Holder, at a purchase price
specified in paragraph 6 of the Securities (the "Change in Control Purchase
Price"), as of the date that is 35 Business Days after the occurrence of the
Change in Control (the "Change in Control Purchase Date"), subject to
satisfaction by or on behalf of the Holder of the requirements set forth in
Section 3.09(c).

     A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as
either of the following events shall occur:

          (i)  any person, including its Affiliates and associates, files a
     Schedule 13D or TO (or any successor schedule, form or report under the
     Exchange Act) disclosing that such person has become the beneficial owner
     of 50% or more of the total voting power in the aggregate of all classes of
     Capital Stock of the Company then outstanding normally entitled to vote in
     elections of directors; or

          (ii) there shall be consummated any consolidation or merger of the
     Company pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock would be converted into
     cash, securities or other property, in each case other than a consolidation
     or merger of the Company in which (1) the holders of all classes of Common
     Stock immediately prior to the consolidation or merger have, directly or
     indirectly, at least a majority of the total voting power in the aggregate
     of all classes of Capital Stock of the continuing or surviving corporation
     normally entitled to vote in elections of directors immediately after the
     consolidation or merger and (2) the shares of Class A Common Stock shall be
     converted into common stock which is (or, upon consummation of or
     immediately following such consolidation or merger, will be) listed on a
     United States national securities exchange or approved for quotation on the
     Nasdaq National Market or any similar United States system for automated
     dissemination of quotations of securities prices.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, a Change in
Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the Company, any
Subsidiary, any employee stock ownership plan or any other employee benefit plan
of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any person holding Common Stock for or
pursuant to the terms of any such employee benefit plan, filing or becoming
obligated to file a report under or in response to Schedule 13D or Schedule TO
(or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange Act disclosing
beneficial ownership by it of shares of Common Stock, whether in excess of 50%
or otherwise.

     "Associate" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 12b-2 of
the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, as in effect on the
date hereof.

     (b)  Within 15 Business Days after the occurrence of a Change in Control,
the Company shall mail a written notice of Change in Control by first-class mail
to the Trustee and to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by
applicable law). In addition, the Company shall cause a copy of such notice of
Change in Control to be published in The Wall Street Journal or another daily
newspaper of national circulation. The notice shall include a form of Change in
Control Purchase Notice to be completed by the Securityholder and shall state:

          (i)   briefly, the events causing a Change in Control and the date of
     such Change in Control;

          (ii)  the date by which the Change in Control Purchase Notice pursuant
     to this Section 3.09 must be given;

          (iii) the Change in Control Purchase Date;

          (iv)  the Change in Control Purchase Price;

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

          (vi)  the Conversion Rate and any adjustments thereto;

          (vii) that Securities as to which a Change in Control Purchase Notice
     has been given may be converted pursuant to Article 11 hereof only if the
     Change in Control Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the
     terms of this Indenture;

                                       20
<PAGE>

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

          (ix)    that the Change in Control Purchase Price for any Security as
     to which a Change in Control Purchase Notice has been duly given and not
     withdrawn will be paid promptly following the later of the Change in
     Control Purchase Date and the time of surrender of such Security as
     described in (viii) above;

          (x)     briefly, the procedures the Holder must follow to exercise
     rights under this Section 3.09;

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

          (xii)   the procedures for withdrawing a Change in Control Purchase
     Notice;

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

          (xiv)   the CUSIP number of the Securities.

     (c)  A Holder may exercise its rights specified in Section 3.09(a) hereof
upon delivery of a written notice of purchase (a "Change in Control Purchase
Notice") to the Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the
Change in Control Purchase Date, stating:

          (i)     the certificate number of the Security which the Holder will
     deliver to be purchased;

          (ii)    the portion of the Principal Amount at Maturity of the
     Security which the Holder will deliver to be purchased, which portion must
     be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

          (iii)   that such Security shall be purchased pursuant to the terms
     and conditions specified in paragraph 6 of the Securities.

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

     The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this
Section 3.09, a portion of a Security if the Principal Amount at Maturity of
such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the
purchase of such portion of such Security.

     Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 3.09 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be
received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Change in Control
Purchase Date and the time of delivery of the Security to the Paying Agent in
accordance with this Section 3.09.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to
the Paying Agent the Change in Control Purchase Notice contemplated by this
Section 3.09(c) shall have the right to withdraw such Change in Control Purchase
Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Change in Control
Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent
in accordance with Section 3.10.

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

     Section 3.10 Effect of Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase
Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Purchase Notice or Change in
Control Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.08(a) or Section 3.09(c), as
applicable, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Purchase Notice
or Change in Control Purchase Notice, as the case may be, was given shall
(unless such Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice is withdrawn
as specified in the following two paragraphs) thereafter be entitled to receive
solely the Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the case may
be, with respect to such Security. Such Purchase Price or Change in Control
Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipts of funds and/or
securities by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Purchase
Date or the Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, with respect to
such Security (provided the conditions in Section 3.08(a) or

                                       21
<PAGE>

Section 3.09(c), as applicable, have been satisfied) and (y) the time of
delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the
manner required by Section 3.08(a) 3.08(a) or Section 3.09(c), as applicable.
Securities in respect of which a Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase
Notice, as the case may be, has been given by the Holder thereof may not be
converted pursuant to Article 11 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of
such Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice, as the case may be,
unless such Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice, as the case
may be, has first been validly withdrawn as specified in the following two
paragraphs.

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

          (a)  the certificate number of the Security in respect of which such
     notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

          (b)  the Principal Amount at Maturity of the Security with respect to
     which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

          (c)  the Principal Amount at Maturity, if any, of such Security which
     remains subject to the original Purchase Notice or Change in Control
     Purchase Notice, as the case may be, and which has been or will be
     delivered for purchase by the Company.

     A written notice of withdrawal of a Purchase Notice may be in the form set
forth in the preceding paragraph or may be in the form of (i) a conditional
withdrawal contained in a Purchase Notice pursuant to the terms of Section
3.08(a)(i)(D) or (ii) a conditional withdrawal containing the information set
forth in Section 3.08(a)(i)(D) and the preceding paragraph and contained in a
written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent as set forth in the
preceding paragraph.

     There shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to Section 3.08
(other than through the issuance of Class A Common Stock in payment of the
Purchase Price, including cash in lieu of fractional shares) or 3.09 if there
has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the
Holders of such Securities, of the required Purchase Notice or Change in Control
Purchase Notice, as the case may be) and is continuing an Event of Default
(other than a default in the payment of the Purchase Price or Change in Control
Purchase Price, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities). The Paying
Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (x)
with respect to which a Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice, as
the case may be, has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (y)
held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default
in the payment of the Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the
case may be, with respect to such Securities) in which case, upon such return,
the Purchase Notice or Change in Control Purchase Notice with respect thereto
shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

     Section 3.11 Deposit of Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price.
Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the
Purchase Date or the Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the
Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the
Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an
amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business
Day) or Class A Common Stock, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay the
aggregate Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the case may
be, of all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be purchased as of
the Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be.

     Section 3.12  Securities Purchased in Part.  Any Security which is to be
purchased only in part shall e surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent
(with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge,
a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by
such Holder in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity equal to, and in exchange
for, the portion of the Principal Amount at Maturity of the Security so
surrendered which is not purchased.

     Section 3.13  Covenant to Comply with Securities Laws upon Purchase of
Securities.  In connection with any offer to purchase or purchase of Securities
under Section 3.08 or 3.09 hereof (provided that such offer or

                                       22
<PAGE>

purchase constitutes an "issuer tender offer" for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which
term, as used herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the
Exchange Act at the time of such offer or purchase), the Company shall (i)
comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the
Exchange Act which may then be applicable, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or
any successor schedule, form or report) or any other schedule required under the
Exchange Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with all Federal and state securities
laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Sections 3.08 and 3.09 to
be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Sections 3.08 and 3.09.

     Section 3.14 Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall return to the Company any cash or shares of Class A Common Stock that
remain unclaimed as provided in paragraph 13 of the Securities, together with
interest or dividends, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the
Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the case may be;
provided, however, that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash or
shares of Class A Common Stock deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.11
exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the
case may be, of the Securities or portions thereof which the Company is
obligated to purchase as of the Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase
Date, as the case may be, then promptly after the Business Day following the
Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, the
Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest or
dividends, if any, thereon.

Restated Principal Amount, Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue Discount,

interest shall be considered paid on the applicable date due if on such date
(or, in the case of a Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, on the
Business Day following the applicable Purchase Date or Change in Control
Purchase Date, as the case may be) the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds, in
accordance with this Indenture, money or securities, if permitted hereunder,
sufficient to pay all such amounts then due.

     The Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay cash interest on
overdue amounts at the rate per annum set forth in paragraph 1 of the
Securities, compounded semiannually, which interest shall accrue from the date
such overdue amount was originally due to the date payment of such amount,
including interest thereon, has been made or duly provided for. All such
interest shall be payable on demand. The accrual of such interest on overdue
amounts shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the continued accrual of
Original Issue Discount.

     Section 4.02. SEC and Other Reports. The Company shall file with the
Trustee, within 15 days after it files such annual and quarterly reports,
information, documents and other reports with the SEC, copies of its annual

portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations
prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In the event the Company is at any time
no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, it shall continue to provide the Trustee with reports containing
substantially the same information as would have been required to be filed with
the SEC had the Company continued to have been subject to such reporting

the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,

in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge.

Indenture may be served. The office of First Union National Bank, 40 Broad
Street, 5/th/ Floor, Suite 550, New York, NY 10004, shall initially be such
office or agency for all of the aforesaid purposes. The Company shall give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the
location, of any such office or agency (other than a change in the location of
the office of the Trustee). If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain
any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the
address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 13.02.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices
or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City of New York, for such purposes.

     Section 4.06. Delivery of Certain Information. At any time when the Company
is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the request of a
holder or any beneficial holder of Securities or shares of Class A Common Stock
issued upon conversion thereof, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be
furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder or any
beneficial holder of Securities or holder of shares of Class A Common Stock
issued upon conversion of Securities, or to a prospective purchaser of any such
security designated by any such holder, as the case may be, to the extent
required to permit compliance by such Holder or holder with Rule 144A under the
Securities Act in connection with the resale of any such security. "Rule 144A
Information" shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

     Section 4.07. Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The Company shall
file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written
notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates
and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding Securities as of the end of such
year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue
discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended from time to time.

not consolidate with or merge with or into any other person or convey, transfer

     Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
     consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a supplemental
     indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such
     supplemental indenture,

     comply with this Article 5 and that all conditions precedent herein
     provided for relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

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

of the properties and assets of the Company.

     The successor person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company
is merged or the successor person to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is
made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and
power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor had been named as the Company herein; and thereafter, except in the
case of a lease and obligations the Company may have under a supplemental
indenture pursuant to Section 11.14, the Company shall be discharged from all
obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities. Subject to
Section 9.02, the Company, the Trustee and the successor person shall enter into
a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such
successor person and such discharge and release of the Company.

                             DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

     Section 6.01.  Events of Default.  An "Event of Default" occurs if:

          (1)       the Company defaults in the payment of any cash interest
     upon any Security when such interest becomes due and payable, and such
     default in payment of interest shall continue for 30 days;

          (2)       the Company defaults in the payment of the Principal Amount
     at Maturity (or, if the Securities have been converted to semiannual coupon
     debentures following a Tax Event pursuant to Article 10, the Restated
     Principal Amount), Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue Discount,
     Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price on any
     Security when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon
     redemption, upon declaration, when due for purchase by the Company or
     otherwise;

          (3)       the Company fails to deliver shares of Class A Common Stock
     (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares) when such Class A Common
     Stock (or cash in lieu of fractional shares) is required to be delivered
     upon conversion of a Security and such failure continues for 10 days;

          (4)       the Company fails to comply with any of its agreements in
     the Securities or this Indenture (other than those referred to in clauses
     (1), (2) and (3) above) and such failure continues for 30 days after
     receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default;

          (5)       there shall be (i) a default under any bond, debenture, note
     or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed or under any mortgage,
     indenture or other instrument under which there may be issued or by which
     there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness by the Company or any
     Significant Subsidiary or by any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the
     aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or under any guarantee
     of payment of Indebtedness by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or
     by any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute
     a Significant Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists
     or shall hereafter be created, and the effect of such default is to cause
     such Indebtedness (or Indebtedness so guaranteed) to become due prior to
     its stated maturity or (ii) a failure to pay at the stated maturity of any
     such Indebtedness (or Indebtedness so guaranteed) any amounts then due and
     owing thereunder; provided, however, that no Default under this clause (5)
     shall exist if all such defaults and failures to pay relate to Indebtedness
     (including Indebtedness so guaranteed) with an aggregate principal amount
     of not more than $25,000,000 at the time outstanding;

          (6)       final judgments for the payment of money which in the
     aggregate exceed $25,000,000 at the time outstanding shall be rendered
     against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of
     the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant
     Subsidiary by a court of competent jurisdiction and shall remain
     undischarged for a period (during which execution shall not be effectively
     stayed) of 60 days after such judgment becomes final and nonappealable; or

                                       25

          (7)    the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries
     of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant
     Subsidiary pursuant to or under or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy
     Law:

                 (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding;

                 (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in
          an involuntary case or proceeding or the commencement of any case
          against it;

                 (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any
          substantial part of its property;

                 (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
          creditors;

                 (E) files a petition in bankruptcy or answer or consent seeking
          reorganization or relief; or

                 (F) consents to the filing of such a petition or the
          appointment of or taking possession by a Custodian; or

          (8) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under
     any Bankruptcy Law that:

               (A) is for relief against the Company or any Significant
          Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate
          would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or
          proceeding, or adjudicates the Company or any Significant Subsidiary
          or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would
          constitute a Significant Subsidiary insolvent or bankrupt;

               (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant
          Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate
          would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part
          of its or their properties; or

               (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any
          Significant Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the
          aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

          and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

     "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal
or state law for the relief of debtors.

     "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or
similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

     A Default under clause (4) or clause (5) above is not an Event of Default
until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding
notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Company does not cure
such Default (and such Default is not waived) within the time specified in
clause (4) or clause (5) above after actual receipt of such notice. Any such
notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such
notice is a "Notice of Default".

     The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within five Business Days of
becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default, written notice thereof.
In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after it
becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which with
the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of
Default under clause (4) or clause (5) above, its status and what action the
Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

     Section 6.02.  Acceleration.  If an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8)) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee by Notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding by notice
to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Issue Price plus accrued
Original Issue Discount and any accrued cash interest (or if the Securities have
been converted to semiannual coupon debentures following a Tax Event, the
Restated Principal

                                       26
<PAGE>

Amount, plus accrued interest) through the date of declaration (in the case of
an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) through (6)) or through the
date of the Default (in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section
6.01(7) or (8)) on all the Securities to be immediately due and payable. Upon
such a declaration, such Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue Discount and
any accrued cash interest (or, if the Securities have been converted to
semiannual coupon debentures following a Tax Event, the Restated Principal
Amount, plus accrued interest) shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event
of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) occurs and is continuing, the
Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue Discount and any accrued cash interest
(or, if the Securities have been converted to semiannual coupon debentures
following a Tax Event, the Restated Principal Amount, plus accrued interest) on
all the Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the
Securities at the time outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice
to any other Securityholder) may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if
the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all
existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of the
Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue Discount and any accrued cash interest
(or, if the Securities have been converted to semiannual coupon debentures
following a Tax Event, the Restated Principal Amount, plus accrued interest)
that have become due solely as a result of acceleration and if all amounts due
to the Trustee under Section 7.06 have been paid. No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

     Section 6.03.  Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of the Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue Discount and any accrued cash
interest (or, if the Securities have been converted to semiannual coupon
debentures following a Tax Event, the Restated Principal Amount, plus accrued
interest) on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of
the Securities or this Indenture.

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

     Section 6.04.  Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time
outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other
Securityholder), may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (1)
an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(1) or (2), (2) a Default in
respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the
consent of each Securityholder affected or (3) a Default which constitutes a
failure to convert any Security in accordance with the terms of Article 11. When
a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. This Section 6.04
shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)1(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)1(B) is
hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

     Section 6.05.  Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts
with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the
Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity
satisfactory to it against loss, liability or expense. This Section 6.05 shall
be in lieu of Section 316(a)1(A) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)1(A) is
hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.

     Section 6.06.  Limitation on Suits.  A Securityholder may not pursue any
remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

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

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

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

                                       27
<PAGE>

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

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

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

     Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of
the Principal Amount at Maturity (or, if the Securities have been converted to
semiannual coupon debentures following a Tax Event pursuant to Article 10, the
Restated Principal Amount), Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue Discount,
Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase Price or any
accrued cash interest (or, if the Securities have been converted to semiannual
coupon debentures following a Tax Event, the Restated Principal Amount, plus
accrued interest) in respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after
the respective due dates expressed in the Securities or any Redemption Date, and
to convert the Securities in accordance with Article 11, or to bring suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or the
right to convert, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without the
consent of such Holder.

     Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default described
in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
for the whole amount owing with respect to the Securities and the amounts
provided for in Section 7.06.

     Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of
any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the
Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective
of whether the Principal Amount at Maturity, Issue Price plus accrued Original
Issue Discount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase
Price or any accrued cash interest (or, if the Securities have been converted to
semiannual coupon debentures following a Tax Event, the Restated Principal
Amount, plus accrued interest) in respect of the Securities shall then be due
and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment
of any such amount) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise,

          (a)   to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the Principal
     Amount at Maturity, Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue Discount,
     Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase Price, or any
     accrued cash interest (or, if the Securities have been converted to
     semiannual coupon debentures following a Tax Event, the Restated Principal
     Amount, plus accrued interest) and to file such other papers or documents
     as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
     (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
     disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel or any
     other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06) and of the Holders
     allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

          (b)   to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
     deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
     custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar
     official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
     Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
     Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
     Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
     compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
     agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section
     7.06.

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

                                       28

     Section 6.10.  Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to
this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

     FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.06;

     SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for
the Principal Amount at Maturity, Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue
Discount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control Purchase Price or
any accrued cash interest (or, if the Securities have been converted to
semiannual coupon debentures following a Tax Event, the Restated Principal
Amount, plus accrued interest) as the case may be, ratably, without preference
or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on the
Securities; and

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

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

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

     Section 6.12. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so and to the extent legally
enforceable) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or
extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all
or any portion of the Principal Amount at Maturity, Issue Price plus accrued
Original Issue Discount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, Change in Control
Purchase Price or any accrued cash interest (or, if the Securities have been
converted to semiannual coupon debentures following a Tax Event, the Restated
Principal Amount, plus accrued interest) in respect of Securities, or any
interest on such amounts, as contemplated herein, or which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so and to the extent legally enforceable) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

                                   ARTICLE  7
                                    TRUSTEE

     Section 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default;
Prior to Default. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which
may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default hereunder
has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

     No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own willful misconduct, except that

          (a)  prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
     after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have
     occurred:

               (i)  the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be
          determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the
          Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance

                                       29
<PAGE>

          of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
          Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
          this Indenture against the Trustee; and

               (ii)  in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
          Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and
          the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
          statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
          conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of
          any such statements, certificates or opinions which by any provision
          hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
          Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether
          or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

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

          (c)  the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
     or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
     of the Holders pursuant to Section 6.05 relating to the time, method and
     place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
     or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
     Indenture.

     None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if the Trustee believes in good faith that the repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

     The provisions of this Section 7.01 are in furtherance of and subject to
Sections 315 and 316 of the TIA.

     Section 7.02.  Certain Rights of the Trustee.  In furtherance of and
subject to the TIA and subject to Section 7.01:

          (a)  the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
     refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate or any
     other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
     consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or
     document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
     by the proper party or parties;

          (b)  any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned
     herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless
     other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and
     any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by
     a copy thereof certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the
     Company;

          (c)  the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and any
     advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
     protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken
     by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion
     of Counsel;

          (d)  the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
     trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture with the request, order or
     direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this
     Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee
     reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
     liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

          (e)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
     by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
     discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

          (f)  prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
     after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default, the Trustee
     shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
     stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
     report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond,
     debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless
     requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in
     aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities then outstanding;
     provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of
     the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
     making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
     reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the

                                       30

     terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
     against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the
     reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the
     Company or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor trustee, shall be
     repaid by the Company upon demand; and

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

     Section 7.03. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of
Securities or Application of Proceeds Thereof. The recitals contained herein and
in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be
taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

     Section 7.04. Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities; Collections, etc. The
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same
rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and, subject to
Sections 7.08 and 7.13, if operative, may otherwise deal with the Company and
receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent.

     Section 7.05. Moneys Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section
8.02 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as
herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received,
but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by
it hereunder.

     Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and its Prior
Claim. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation (which shall not be
limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an
express trust) to be agreed to in writing by the Trustee and the Company, and
the Company covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each
predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of
the provisions of this Indenture (including (i) the reasonable compensation and
the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other
persons not regularly in its employ and (ii) interest at the prime rate on any
disbursements and advances made by the Trustee and not paid by the Company
within 5 days after receipt of an invoice for such disbursement or advance)
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its
negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and
each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including the costs
and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability
in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate
and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse
the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and
advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness
shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds
held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the
benefit of the Holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby
effectively subordinated to such senior claim to such extent. The provisions of
this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

     Section 7.07. Right of Trustee to Rely on Officers' Certificate, etc.
Subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, whenever in the administration of the trusts
of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter
be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action
hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the
part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an
Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the
absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full
warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the
provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

     Section 7.08. Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a
conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, the Trustee shall either
eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by,
and subject to the provisions of, the TIA.

     Section 7.09. Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee
shall at all times be a corporation or banking association having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation or banking
association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then,
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 7.10.

     Section 7.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time
resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written
notice of resignation to the Company and by mailing notice thereof by first
class mail to the Holders of Securities at their last addresses as they shall
appear on the Security register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees by written
instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of Directors, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing
of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any
Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months may, subject to the provisions of Section 7.11, on behalf of himself and
all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a
successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it
may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

          (b)      In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

                   (i)   the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
          Section 7.08 with respect to any Securities after written request
          therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona
          fide Holder of a Security for at least six months; or

                   (ii)  the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
          with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after
          written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder; or

                   (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall
          be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of
          the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
          officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property
          or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
          liquidation; or

                   (iv)  the Company shall determine that the Trustee has failed
          to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material
          respect;

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the
Board of Directors of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.11, any Securityholder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such
court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. If no successor
trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days
after a notice of removal has been given, the removed trustee may petition a
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

          (c)      The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at
     Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding may at any time remove
     the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by delivering to the Trustee so
     removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Company the
     evidence provided for in Section 1.05 of the action in that regard taken by
     the Securityholders.

                                       32

          (d)       Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any
     appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of
     this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by
     the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

     Section 7.11.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute and
deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if originally named as trustee hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written
request of the Company or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges
then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall pay over to the successor trustee
all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company
shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers.
Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all
property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then
due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

     No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
7.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions
of Section 7.09.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this
Section 7.11, the Company shall mail notice thereof by first class mail to the
Holders of Securities at their last addresses as they shall appear in the
register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with
the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be
combined with the notice called for by Section 7.10. If the Company fails to
mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Company.

     Section 7.12.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business
of Trustee. Any corporation or banking association into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or
banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or banking association,
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such
corporation or banking association shall be qualified under the provisions of
Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case at the
time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of
any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in
case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any
successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of
any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all
such cases such certificate shall have the full force and effect that this
Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee;
provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor
Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation.

     Section 7.13.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. The
Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 311 of the TIA.

     Section 7.14.  Reports by the Trustee. (a) The Trustee shall transmit to
Holders and other persons such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions
under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the TIA on or before July 15
in each year that such report is required, such reports to be dated as of the
immediately preceding May 15.

          (b)       A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such
     transmission to Securityholders, be furnished to the Company and be filed
     by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Securities are
     listed and also with the SEC. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee when
     and as the Securities become admitted to trading on any national securities
     exchange.

     Section 7.15.  Trustee to Give Notice of Default, but May Withhold in
Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall transmit to the Securityholders, as the
names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security register, notice by
mail of all Defaults which have occurred, such notice to be transmitted within
90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured
before the giving of such; provided that, except in the case of Default in the
payment of the principal of, interest on, or other similar obligation with
respect to, any of the Securities, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding
such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee,
or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the Securityholders.

                                   ARTICLE 8
                            DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

     Section 8.01.  Discharge of Liability on Securities. When (i) the Company
delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than Securities
replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding
Securities have become due and payable and the Company deposits with the Trustee
cash or, if expressly permitted by the terms of the Securities, Class A Common
Stock sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Securities
(other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case
the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this
Indenture shall, subject to Section 7.06, cease to be of further effect. The
Trustee shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the Company
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the
Company accompanied by an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel and at
the cost and expense of the Company.

     Section 8.02.  Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall return to the Company upon written request any money or securities held by
them for the payment of any amount with respect to the Securities that remains
unclaimed for two years, subject to applicable unclaimed property law. After
return to the Company, Holders entitled to the money or securities must look to
the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned
property law designates another person and the Trustee and the Paying Agent
shall have no further liability to the Securityholders with respect to such
money or securities for that period commencing after the return thereof.

                                   ARTICLE 9
                                  AMENDMENTS

     Section 9.01.  Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may
amend this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any
Securityholder:

          (1)       to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
     provided, however, that such amendment does not materially adversely affect
     the rights of any Securityholder;

          (2)       to comply with Article 5 or Section 11.14;

          (3)       to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to the
     certificated securities so long as such uncertificated Securities are in
     registered form for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
     amended;

          (4)       to make any change that does not materially adversely affect
     the rights of any Securityholder;

          (5)       to make any change to comply with the TIA, or any amendment
     thereto, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with
     the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; or

          (6)       add to the Company's covenants or obligations under this
     Indenture for the protection of the Holders or surrender any right, power
     or option conferred by this Indenture on the Company.

     Section 9.02.  With Consent of Holders. With the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the
Securities at the time outstanding, the Company and the Trustee may amend this
Indenture or the Securities. However, without the consent of each Securityholder
affected, an amendment to this Indenture or the Securities may not:

                                       34
<PAGE>

          (1)       make any change to the Principal Amount at Maturity of
     Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

          (2)       make any change in the manner or rate of accrual in
     connection with Original Issue Discount or cash interest, reduce the rate
     of cash interest referred to in paragraph 1 of the Securities, reduce the
     rate of interest referred to in Section 10.01 upon the occurrence of a Tax
     Event, or extend the time for payment of Original Issue Discount or cash
     interest on any Security;

          (3)       reduce the Principal Amount at Maturity, Restated Principal
     Amount or the Issue Price of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Security;

          (4)       reduce the Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in
     Control Purchase Price of any Security;

          (5)       make any Security payable in money or securities other than
     that stated in the Security;

          (6)       make any change in Section 6.04, Section 6.07 or this
     Section 9.02, except to increase any percentage set forth therein;

     any Security;

          (8)       make any change that adversely affects the right to require

     and this Indenture; or

          (9)       impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
     any payment with respect to, or conversion of, the Securities.

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

     After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to each Holder a notice briefly describing the amendment.

     Section 9.03.  Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental
indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall comply with the TIA.

     Section 9.04.  Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions.
Until an amendment, waiver or other action by Holders becomes effective, a
consent thereto by a Holder of a Security hereunder is a continuing consent by
the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the
Security that evidences the same obligation as the consenting Holder's Security,
even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on the Security.
However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent, waiver or
action as to such Holder's Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee
receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, waiver or
action becomes effective. After an amendment, waiver or action becomes
effective, it shall bind every Securityholder.

     Section 9.05.  Notation on or Exchange of Securities. Securities
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a
notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such
supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities so
modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of
Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by
the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for
outstanding Securities.

     Section 9.06.  Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures. The Trustee shall
sign any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the
amendment contained therein does not adversely affect the rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need
not, sign such supplemental indenture. In signing such supplemental indenture
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted
by this Indenture.

     Section 9.07.  Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in
accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this
Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or
thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

                         SPECIAL TAX EVENT CONVERSION

     Section 10.01. Optional Conversion to Semiannual Coupon Debenture Upon Tax
Event. From and after (i) the date (the "Tax Event Date") of the occurrence of a
Tax Event and (ii) the date the Company exercises such option, whichever is
later (the "Option Exercise Date"), at the option of the Company, interest in
lieu of future Original Issue Discount and regular cash interest shall accrue at
the rate of 3.00% per annum on a restated principal amount per $1,000 original
Principal Amount at Maturity (the "Restated Principal Amount") equal to the
Issue Price plus Original Issue Discount accrued through the Option Exercise
Date and shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date to Holders of record at
the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such
Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months and will accrue from the most recent date on
which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Option
Exercise Date. Within 15 days of the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Company
shall mail a written notice of such Tax Event by facsimile and first-class mail
to the Trustee and within 15 days of its exercise of such option the Company
shall mail a written notice of the Option Exercise Date by facsimile and first-
class mail to the Trustee and by first class mail to the Holders of the
Securities. From and after the Option Exercise Date, (i) the Company shall be
obligated to pay at Stated Maturity, in lieu of the Principal Amount at Maturity
of a Security, the Restated Principal Amount thereof and (ii) "Issue Price and
accrued Original Issue Discount," "Issue Price plus Original Issue Discount" or
similar words, as used herein, shall mean Restated Principal Amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest with respect to any Security. Securities authenticated and
delivered after the Option Exercise Date may, and shall if required by the
Trustee, bear a notation in a form approved by the Trustee as to the conversion
of the Securities to semiannual coupon debentures.

     Section 10.02. Payment of Cash Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. (a)
Cash interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose
name that Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record
Date for such cash interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose. Each installment of cash interest on any Security shall be
paid in same-day funds by transfer to an account maintained by the payee located
inside the United States. In the case of a permanent Global Security, any cash
interest payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Depositary,
with respect to that portion of such permanent Global Security held for its
account by Cede & Co. for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the
cash interest received by it in respect of such permanent Global Security to the
accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.

          (b)       Except as otherwise specified with respect to the
     Securities, any cash interest on any Security that is payable, but is not
     punctually paid or duly provided for within 30 days following, on any
     Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest", which term shall
     include any accrued and unpaid interest that has accrued on such defaulted
     amount in accordance with paragraph 1 of the Securities), shall forthwith
     cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant
     Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such
     Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, as its election in each
     case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

                    (1)  The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
          Interest to the persons in whose names the Securities are registered
          at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
          such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.
          The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
          Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date
          of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after
          such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the
          Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
          aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
          Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
          such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
          money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the
          persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause
          provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for
          the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15
          days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
          payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
          the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify
          the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the
          expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
          such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be
          mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each

          Securityholders maintained pursuant to Section 2.05 not less than 10
          days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment
          of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having
          been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the
          persons in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of
          business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
          pursuant to the following clause (2).

                    (2)  The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest
          on the Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
          requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may
          be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
          if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed
          payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be
          deemed practicable by the Trustee.

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 2.06, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

                                  ARTICLE 11
                                  CONVERSION

     Section 11.01. Conversion Privilege. A Holder of a Security may convert
such Security into Class A Common Stock at any time during the period stated in
paragraph 8 of the Securities. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of a Security per $1,000 of Principal Amount at
Maturity thereof (the "Conversion Rate") shall be that set forth in paragraph 8
in the Securities, subject to adjustment as herein set forth.

     A Holder may convert a portion of the Principal Amount at Maturity of a
Security 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 Security also apply to
conversion of a portion of a Security.

     "Average Quoted Price" means the average of the Sale Prices of the Class A
Common Stock for the shorter of

                    (i)    30 consecutive trading days ending on the last full
          trading day prior to the Time of Determination with respect to the
          rights, warrants or options or distribution in respect of which the
          Average Quoted 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, warrants
          or options or (b) the distribution, in each case, in respect of which
          the Average Quoted Price is being calculated and (y) proceeding
          through the last full trading day prior to the Time of Determination
          with respect to the rights, warrants or options or distribution in
          respect of which the Average Quoted Price is being calculated
          (excluding days within such period, if any, which are not trading
          days), or

                    (iii)  the period, if any, (x) commencing on the date next
          succeeding the ExDividend Time with respect to the next preceding (a)
          issuance of rights, warrants or options or (b) distribution, in each
          case, for which an adjustment is required by the provisions of Section
          11.06(4), 11.07 or 11.08 and (y) proceeding through the last full
          trading day prior to the Time of Determination with respect to the
          rights, warrants or options or distribution in respect of which the
          Average Quoted Price is being calculated (excluding days within such
          period, if any, which are not trading days).

     In the event that the Ex-Dividend Time (or in the case of a subdivision,
combination or reclassification, the effective date with respect thereto) with
respect to a dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification to which
Section 11.06(1), (2), (3) or (5) applies occurs during the period applicable
for calculating "Average Quoted Price" pursuant to the definition in the
preceding sentence, "Average Quoted Price" shall be calculated for such period
in a manner determined by the Board of Directors to reflect the impact of such
dividend, subdivision, combination or reclassification on the Sale Price of the
Common Stock during such period.

                                       37
<PAGE>

     "Time of Determination" means the time and date of the earlier of (i) the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive rights, warrants or options or
a distribution, in each case, to which Section 11.07 or 11.08 applies and (ii)
the time ("Ex-Dividend Time") immediately prior to the commencement of "ex-
dividend" trading for such rights, warrants or options or distribution on the
New York Stock Exchange or such other national or regional exchange or market on
which the Class A Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

     Section 11.02. Conversion Procedure. To convert a Security a Holder must
satisfy the requirements in paragraph 8 of the Securities. The date on which the
Holder satisfies all those requirements is the conversion date (the "Conversion
Date"). As soon as practicable after the Conversion Date but in any event no
later than the seventh Business Day following the Conversion Date, the Company
shall deliver to the Holder, through the Conversion Agent, a certificate for the
number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion and
cash in lieu of any fractional share determined pursuant to Section 11.03. The
person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a
stockholder of record on and after the Conversion Date; provided, however, that
no surrender of a Security 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 Class A Common Stock upon such conversion as
the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock on such
date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the person or persons
entitled to receive such shares of Class A 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; such conversion shall be at the
Conversion Rate in effect on the date that such Security shall have been
surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had
not been closed. Upon conversion of a Security, such person shall no longer be a
Holder of such Security.

     No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on, or other
distributions with respect to, any Class A Common Stock except as provided in
this Article 11. On conversion of a Security, that portion of accrued Original
Issue Discount (or interest, if the Company has exercised its option provided
for in Section 10.01) or (except as provided below) accrued cash interest
attributable to the period from the Issue Date (or, if the Company has exercised
the option provided for in Section 10.01, the later of (x) the date of such
exercise and (y) the date on which interest was last paid) of the Security or
the date on which interest was last paid through the Conversion Date with
respect to the converted Security 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 Class A Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if
any, in lieu of fractional shares) in exchange for the Security being converted
pursuant to the provisions hereof; and the fair market value of such shares of
Class A Common Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional
shares) shall be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for
Original Issue Discount (or interest, if the Company has exercised its option
provided for in Section 10.01) and cash interest accrued through the Conversion
Date, and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such Class A Common
Stock (and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued in exchange for the
Issue Price of the Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, accrued but unpaid cash interest will be payable
upon conversion of Securities made concurrently with or after acceleration of
Securities following an Event of Default.

     If the Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number
of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion shall be based on
the total Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities converted.

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

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

     Section 11.03. Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue a fractional
share of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of a Security. 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 11.04. Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder converts a Security, the
Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on
the issue of shares of Class A Common Stock upon the

                                       38
<PAGE>

conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the
Holder requests the shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder's name.
The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the
Class A Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder's name until
the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due
because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder's name.
Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or
regulations.

     Section 11.05.  Company to Provide Stock. The Company shall, prior to
issuance of any Securities under this Article 11, and from time to time as may
be necessary, reserve out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of the
Securities.

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

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

     Section 11.06.  Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock. If, after the Issue
Date of the Securities, the Company:

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

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

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

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

          (5)       issues by reclassification of its Class A 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 Security
thereafter converted may receive the number of shares of Capital Stock of the
Company which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action if
such Holder had converted the Security immediately prior to such action.

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

     If after an adjustment a Holder of a Security upon conversion of such
Security may receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock of the
Company, the Conversion Rate shall thereafter be subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of an action taken with respect to any such class of Capital Stock as
is contemplated by this Article 11 with respect to the Class A Common Stock, on
terms comparable to those applicable to Class A Common Stock in this Article 11.

     Section 11.07.  Adjustment for Rights Issue. If after the Issue Date of the
Securities, the Company distributes any rights, warrants or options to all
holders of its Class A Common Stock entitling them, for a period expiring within
45 days after the record date for such distribution, to purchase shares of Class
A Common Stock at a price per share less than the Market Price as of the Time of
Determination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the
formula:
                                       (0+N)
                              R'=Rx ------------
                                     (0+(NxP)/M

     where:

                                       39
<PAGE>

     R'= the adjusted Conversion Rate.

     R = the current Conversion Rate.

     O = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record
date for the distribution to which this Section 11.07 is being applied.

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

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

     M = the Average Quoted Price, minus, in the case of (i) a distribution to
which Section 11.06(4) applies or (ii) a distribution to which Section 11.08
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 11.07 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 11.07 applies, the fair
market value (on the record date for the distribution to which this Section
11.07 applies) of the

               (1)       Capital Stock of the Company distributed in respect of
          each share of Class A Common Stock in such Section 11.06(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 Class A Common Stock in such Section 11.08
          distribution.

The Board of Directors shall determine fair market values for purposes of this
Section 11.07.

     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 11.07 applies. If all of the shares of Class A
Common Stock subject to such rights, warrants or options have not been issued
when such rights, warrants or options expire, then the Conversion Rate shall
promptly be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had
the adjustment upon the issuance of such rights, warrants or options been made
on the basis of the actual number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon
the exercise of such rights, warrants or options.

     No adjustment shall be made under this Section 11.07 if the application of
the formula stated above in this Section 11.07 would result in a value of R'
that is equal to or less than the value of R.

     Section 11.08. Adjustment for Other Distributions. If, after the Issue Date
of the Securities, the Company distributes to all holders of its Class A Common
Stock any of its assets, or evidences of indebtedness of the Company 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 11.06 and distributions of rights, warrants or options referred to in
Section 11.07 and (y) cash dividends or other cash distributions that are paid
out of consolidated current net earnings 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 11.08,
in accordance with the formula:

                                    RxM
                               R= -------
                                    M-F

     where:

     R'= the adjusted Conversion Rate.

     R = the current Conversion Rate.

     M = the Average Quoted Price, minus, in the case of a distribution to which
Section 11.06(4) applies, for which (i) the record date shall occur on or before
the record date for the distribution to which this Section 11.08 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 11.08 applies, the fair
market value (on the record date for the distribution to

                                       40
<PAGE>

which this Section 11.08 applies) of any Capital Stock of the Company
distributed in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock in such Section
11.06(4) distribution.

     F = the fair market value (on the record date for the distribution to which
this Section 11.08 applies) of the assets, securities, rights, warrants or
options to be distributed in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock in
the distribution to which this Section 11.08 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 Board of Directors shall determine fair market values for purposes of
this Section 11.08.

     The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date for
the determination of shareholders entitled to receive the distribution to which
this Section 11.08 applies.

     For purposes of this Section 11.08, the term "Extraordinary Cash Dividend"
shall mean any cash dividend with respect to the Class A Common Stock the amount
of which, together with the aggregate amount of cash dividends on the Class A
Common Stock to be aggregated with such cash dividend in accordance with the
provisions of this paragraph, equals or exceeds the threshold percentages set
forth below:

     If, upon the date prior to the Ex-Dividend Time with respect to a cash
dividend on the Class A Common Stock, the aggregate amount of such cash dividend
together with the amounts of all cash dividends on the Class A Common Stock with
ExDividend Times occurring in the 365 consecutive day period ending on the date
prior to the Ex-Dividend Time with respect to the cash dividend to which this
provision is being applied equals or exceeds on a per share basis 10% of the
Market Price of the Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately
preceding the date of declaration of such dividend with respect to 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 365 day
period shall be deemed to be an Extraordinary Cash Dividend and for purposes of
applying the formula set forth above in this Section 11.08, the value of "F"
shall be equal to (y) 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 (z) 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 11.08.

     In making the determinations required by items (i) and (ii) above, the
amount of cash dividends paid on a per share basis and the average of the Market
Prices, in each case during the period specified in item (i) or (ii) above, as
applicable, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the occurrence during
such period of any event described in Section 11.06.

     In the event that, with respect to any distribution to which this Section
11.08 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 11.08 shall not be made and in lieu thereof
the provisions of Section 11.14 shall apply to such distribution.

     In addition, in case a tender or exchange offer (other than an odd-lot
offer) made by, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any
portion of the Company's Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange
offer shall involve the payment by the Company or such Subsidiary of
consideration per share of Class A Common Stock having a fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) at the last
time (the "Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer (as it shall have been amended) that exceeds 110% of
the Market Price on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the
Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate
determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the Conversion Rate increase contemplated by this paragraph by
a fraction of which the numerator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value
(determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders
based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender
or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn
as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such
maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares)
at the Expiration Time and the Market Price on the trading day next succeeding
the Expiration Time, and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Class
A Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares)

                                       41
<PAGE>

the Expiration Time multiplied by the Market Price on the trading day next
succeeding the Expiration Time, such increase to become effective immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.

     Section 11.09.  When Adjustment May Be Deferred. No adjustment in the
Conversion Rate need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate. Any adjustments that are not
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.

     All calculations under this Article 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or
to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, as the case may be.

     Section 11.10.  When No Adjustment Required. No adjustment need be made for
a transaction referred to in Section 11.06, 11.07, 11.08 or 11.14 if
Securityholders 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 Class A Common Stock participate in the
transaction. Such participation by Securityholders may include participation
upon conversion provided that an adjustment shall be made at such time as the
Securityholders are no longer entitled to participate.

     No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Class A 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 Securities become convertible pursuant to this Article 11
into cash, no adjustment need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will
not accrue on the cash.

     Section 11.11.  Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is
adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Securityholders a notice of the
adjustment. The Company shall file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent
such notice and a certificate from the Company's independent public accountants
briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing
it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct.
Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or
responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same
to any Holder desiring inspection thereof.

     Section 11.12.  Voluntary Increase. The Company from time to time may
increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time. Whenever the
Conversion Rate is increased, the Company shall mail to Securityholders and file
with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a notice of the increase. The Company
shall mail the notice at least 15 days before the date the increased Conversion
Rate takes effect. The notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the
period it will be in effect.

     A voluntary increase of the Conversion Rate does not change or adjust the
Conversion Rate otherwise in effect for purposes of Section 11.06, 11.07 or
11.08.

     Section 11.13.  Notice of Certain Transactions. If:

          (1)        the Company takes any action that would require an
     adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 11.06, 11.07 or 11.08
     (unless no adjustment is to occur pursuant to Section 11.10); or

          (2)        the Company takes any action that would require a
     supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 11.14; or

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

then the Company shall mail to Securityholders and file with the Trustee and the
Conversion Agent a notice stating the proposed record date for a dividend or
distribution or 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 11.14.  Reorganization of Company; Special Distributions. If the
Company is a party to a transaction subject to Section 5.01 (other than a sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in a transaction in
which the holders of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction
do not receive securities, cash or other assets of the Company or any other
person) or a merger or binding share exchange which reclassifies or changes its
outstanding Class A Common Stock, the person obligated to deliver securities,
cash or

                                       42
<PAGE>

other assets upon conversion of Securities shall enter into a supplemental
indenture. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon conversion of Securities
is an Affiliate of the successor Company, that issuer shall join in the
supplemental indenture.

     The supplemental indenture shall provide that the Holder of a Security may
convert it into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which
such Holder would have received immediately after the consolidation, merger,
binding share exchange or transfer if such Holder had converted the Security
immediately before the effective date of the transaction, assuming (to the
extent applicable) that such Holder (i) was not a constituent person or an
Affiliate of a constituent person to such transaction; (ii) made no election
with respect thereto; and (iii) was treated alike with the plurality of non-
electing Holders. The supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided
for in this Article 11. The successor Company shall mail to Securityholders a
notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture.

     If this Section applies, neither Section 11.06 nor 11.07 applies.

     If the Company makes a distribution to all holders of its Class A 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 11.08, would otherwise result in an adjustment in
the Conversion Rate pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.08, then, from and
after the record date for determining the holders of Class A Common Stock
entitled to receive the distribution, a Holder of a Security that converts such
Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture shall upon such
conversion be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Class A Common
Stock into which the Security is convertible, the kind and amount of securities,
cash or other assets comprising the distribution that such Holder would have
received if such Holder had converted the Security immediately prior to the
record date for determining the holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to
receive the distribution.

     Section 11.15.  Company Determination Final. Any determination that the
Company or the Board of Directors must make pursuant to Section 11.03, 11.06,
11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10, 11.14 or 11.17 is conclusive.

     Section 11.16.  Trustee's Adjustment Disclaimer. The Trustee has no duty to
determine when an adjustment under this Article 11 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 11.14 need be entered into or whether any
provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or value of any
securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities. The Trustee shall not
be responsible for the Company's failure to comply with this Article 11 11. Each
Conversion Agent shall have the same protection under this Section 11.16 as the
Trustee.

     Section 11.17.  Simultaneous Adjustments. In the event that this Article 11
requires adjustments to the Conversion Rate under more than one of Sections
11.06(4), 11.07 or 11.08, and the record dates for the distributions giving rise
to such adjustments shall occur on the same date, then such adjustments shall be
made by applying, first, the provisions of Section 11.06, second, the provisions
of Section 11.08 and, third, the provisions of Section 11.07.

     Section 11.18.  Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate under this Article 11, any subsequent event requiring an
adjustment under this Article 11 shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion
Rate as so adjusted.

     Section 11.19.  Rights Issued in Respect of Class A Common Stock Issued
upon Conversion. Each share of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of
Securities pursuant to this Article 11 shall be entitled to receive the
appropriate number of Class A Common Stock or preferred stock purchase rights,
as the case may be (the "Rights"), if any, and the certificates representing the
Class A Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if
any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any shareholder rights
agreement adopted by the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time
(in each case, a "Rights Agreement"). Provided that such Rights Agreement
requires that each share of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of
Securities at any time prior to the distribution of separate certificates
representing the Rights be entitled to receive such Rights, then,
notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Article 11, there shall
not be any adjustment to the conversion privilege or Conversion Rate as a result
of the issuance of Rights, the distribution of separate certificates
representing the Rights, the exercise or redemption of such Rights in accordance
with any such Rights Agreement, or the termination or invalidation of such
Rights.

                                 SUBORDINATION

     Section 12.01.  Agreement to Subordinate. The Debt evidenced by the
Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner
provided in the Indenture, to the prior payment of all Senior Debt. The
subordination provisions are for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders
of Senior Debt.

     Section 12.02.  Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or
distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial
liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the
Company or its property:

          (1)        holders of Senior Debt are entitled to receive payment in
     full in cash of all Obligations in respect of Senior Debt, including all
     interest accrued or accruing on Senior Debt after the commencement of any
     bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or similar case or proceeding at
     the contract rate (including, without limitation, any contract rate
     applicable upon default) specified in the relevant documentation, whether
     or not the claim for the interest is allowed as a claim in the case or
     proceeding with respect to the Senior Debt (only such payment constituting
     "payment in full") before Securityholders will be entitled to receive any
     payment of principal of or interest on the Securities; and

          (2)        until the Senior Debt is paid in full and payment has been
     made to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.06, any distribution to
     which Securityholders would be entitled but for these subordination
     provisions shall instead be made to holders of Senior Debt and the Trustee
     as their interests may appear.

     Section 12.03.  Default on Designated Senior Debt.

          (a)       The Company shall not pay the principal of or interest on
     the Securities or make any deposit pursuant to the provisions of Article 8
     and shall not, pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 or otherwise,
     repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Securities (collectively, "pay
     the Securities") if at the time any Designated Senior Debt has not been
     paid when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption or mandatory
     repurchase, acceleration, or otherwise, and the default has not been cured
     or waived.

          (b)        During the continuance of any other default with respect to
     any Designated Senior Debt pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be
     accelerated immediately without further notice (except any notice that may
     be required to effect acceleration) or upon the expiration of a grace
     period, the Company may not pay the Securities for a period (a "Payment
     Blockage Period")

                     (1) commencing upon the receipt by the Company and the
          Trustee of written notice of default from the holders of any
          Designated Senior Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment
          Blockage Period (a "Blockage Notice") and

                     (2) ending [179] days thereafter (or earlier if the Payment
          Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Trustee and
          the Company from the Person that gave the Blockage Notice, (ii) by
          repayment in full of such Senior Debt or (iii) because the default
          giving rise to the Blockage Notice is no longer continuing).

     Subject to the preceding paragraph, unless the holders of such Senior Debt
have accelerated the maturity of such Senior Debt, the Company may resume
payments on the Securities after the Payment Blockage Period.

          (c)        Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any
     consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with
     respect to Senior Debt during such period. No default which existed or was
     continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period
     with respect to the Senior Debt whose holders initiated the Payment
     Blockage Period may be made the basis of the commencement of a subsequent
     Payment Blockage Period by the holders of such Senior Debt, whether or not
     within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless the default has been cured
     or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

     Section 12.04.  When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a payment or other
distribution is made to Securityholders that because of these subordination
provisions should not have been made to them, the Securityholders that receive
the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt and pay it
over to them as their interests may appear.

                                       44
<PAGE>

     Section 12.05.  Subrogation. A distribution made under these subordination
provisions to holders of Senior Debt which otherwise would have been made to
Securityholders is not, as between the Company and Securityholders, a payment by
the Company on Senior Debt. After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the
Securities are paid in full, Securityholders will be subrogated to the rights of
holders of Senior Debt to receive payments in respect of Senior Debt, which, to
the extent received by Securityholders, do not constitute, as between the
Company and the Securityholders, payments by the Company on the Securities.

     Section 12.06.  Relative Rights; Subordination Not to Prevent Events of
Default or Limit Right to Accelerate. These subordination provisions define the
relative rights of Securityholders and holders of Senior Debt and do not impair,
as between the Company and Securityholders, the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the
Securities in accordance with their terms. The failure to make a payment
pursuant to the Securities by reason of these subordination provisions does not
prevent the occurrence of a Default, nor do these subordination provisions have
any effect on the right of the Securityholders or the Trustee to accelerate the
maturity of the Securities upon an Event of Default or prevent the Trustee or
any Securityholder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default,
subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions
otherwise payable to Securityholders.

     Section 12.07.  Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of
any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Securities will be
impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply
with the Indenture.

     Section 12.08.  Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may continue to make
payments on the Securities and will not be charged with knowledge of the
existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless,
not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, the Trustee
receives notice satisfactory to it from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt
that payments may not be made under this Article.

          (b)        The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
     hold Senior Debt with the same rights, including rights under this Article,
     it would have if it were not Trustee. Nothing in this Article applies to
     claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.06.

     Section 12.09.  Distributions and Notices to, and Notices and Consents by,
Representatives of Holders of Senior Debt. Whenever a distribution is to be made
or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and
the notice given to their representative (if any). If there is a representative
acting for the holders of any Senior Debt pursuant to the agreements governing
such Senior Debt, notices or consents under the Indenture from holders of such
Senior Debt may be given only by their representative.

     Section 12.10.  Trustee Entitled to Rely. For the purpose of ascertaining
the outstanding amount of Senior Debt, the holders thereof, and all other
information relevant to making any payment or distribution to holders of Senior
Debt pursuant to this Article, the Trustee and the Securityholders are entitled
to rely upon an order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which
any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, a
certificate of the liquidating trustee or other Person making a payment or
distribution to the Trustee or to the Securityholders, or information provided
by the holders of Senior Debt. The Trustee may defer any payment or distribution
pending receipt of evidence or instructions satisfactory to it or a judicial
determination regarding the rights of parties to receive the payment or
distribution.

     Section 12.11.  Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Securityholder by
accepting a Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on behalf of the
Securityholder to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Securityholders and the
holders of Senior Debt as provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee as
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including for the purpose of
filing a claim in any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02.

     Section 12.12.  Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt. The
Trustee will not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Debt and will not be liable to any such holders if it mistakenly pays over or
distributes to Securityholders, or to the Company or any other Person, any money
or assets to which holders of Senior Debt are entitled by virtue of this
Article.

     Section 12.13.  Reliance by Holder of Senior Debt on Subordination
Provisions; No Waiver. (a) Each Securityholder by accepting a Security
acknowledges and agrees that these subordination provisions are, and are
intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of Senior Debt,
whether created or acquired before

                                       45
<PAGE>

or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire or to hold such Senior Debt,
and each holder of Senior Debt will be deemed conclusively to have relied on
these subordination provisions in acquiring and holding such Senior Debt.

          (b)        The holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time
     to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the
     Securityholders, without incurring any liability or responsibility to the
     Securityholders, and without impairing the rights of holders of Senior Debt
     under these subordination provisions, do any of the following:

                     (1)      change the manner, place or terms of payment or
          extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt or any
          instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior
          Debt is outstanding or secured;

                     (2)      sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any
          property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt;

                     (3)      release any Person liable in any manner for the
          payment of Senior Debt; or

                     (4)      exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
          against the Company and any other Person.

                                  ARTICLE 13

                           REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY

              CONVERTIBLE SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES DUE 2020

     1.   Cash Interest; Original Issue Discount.

     The Company promises to pay interest in cash on the Principal Amount at
Maturity of this Security at the rate per annum of 0.25%. The Company will pay
cash interest semiannually in arrears on August 16 and February 16 of each year
(each an "Interest Payment Date") to Holders of record at the close of business
on each August 1 or February 1 (whether or not a business day) (each a "Regular
Record Date") immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Cash interest on
the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date.
Cash interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. The Company shall pay cash interest on overdue principal, or if shares
of Class A Common Stock (or cash in lieu of fractional shares) in respect of a
conversion of this Security in accordance with the terms of Article 11 of the
Indenture are not delivered when due, at the rate borne by the Securities plus 1
% per annum, and it shall pay interest in cash on overdue installments of cash
interest at the same rate to the extent lawful. All such overdue cash interest
shall be payable on demand.

     Original Issue Discount (the difference between the Issue Price and the
Principal Amount at Maturity of the Security), in the period during which a
Security remains outstanding, together with regular cash interest, shall accrue
at 3.00% per annum, on a semiannual bond equivalent basis using a 360-day year
composed of twelve 30-day months, from the Issue Date of this Security.

     2.   Method of Payment.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make
payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and cash interest on
this Security and in respect of Redemption Prices, Purchase Prices and Change in
Control Purchase Prices to Holders who surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to
collect such payments in respect of the Securities. The Company will pay cash
amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make
such cash payments by check payable in such money. Any payment required to be
made on any day that is not a Business Day will be made on the next succeeding
Business Day.

     3.   Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar.

     Initially, First Union National Bank, a national banking association,
having an office in Miami, Florida (in such capacity, together with its
successors in trust, the "Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent
and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion
Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice, other than notice to the
Trustee except that the Company will maintain at least one Paying Agent in the
State of New York, City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, which shall initially
be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or
co-registrar.

     4.   Indenture.

     The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of August 16,
2000 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the
Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect from
time to time (the "TIA"). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject
to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA
for a statement of those terms.
<PAGE>

     The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited to
$488,750,000 aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity (subject to Section 2.07 of
the Indenture). The Indenture does not limit other indebtedness of the Company,
secured or unsecured.

     5.   Redemption at the Option of the Company.

     No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. The Securities are
redeemable as a whole, or from time to time in part, at any time at the option
of the Company at the Redemption Prices set forth below, provided that the
Securities are not redeemable prior to August 16, 2003.

     The table below shows Redemption Prices of a Security per $1,000 Principal
Amount at Maturity on the dates shown below and at Stated Maturity, which prices
reflect accrued Original Issue Discount calculated to each such date. The
Redemption Price of a Security redeemed between such dates shall include an
additional amount reflecting the additional Original Issue Discount accrued
since the next preceding date in the table.

     If converted to a semiannual coupon debenture following the occurrence of a
Tax Event, this Security will be redeemable at the Restated Principal Amount
plus accrued and unpaid interest from the date of such conversion through the
Redemption Date; but in no event will this Security be redeemable before August
16, 2003.

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

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall
become obligated to purchase, at the option of the Holder, the Securities held
by such Holder on the following Purchase Dates and at the following Purchase
Prices per $1,000 Principal Amount at Maturity, upon delivery of a Purchase
Notice containing the information set forth in the Indenture, at any time from
the opening of business on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to such
Purchase Date until the close of-business on such Purchase Date and upon
delivery of the Securities to the Paying Agent by the Holder as set forth in the
Indenture.

               Purchase Date                 Purchase Price
               -------------                 --------------
               August 16, 2003               $635.88
<PAGE>

               August 16, 2008               $724.58
               August 16, 2013               $827.53

     The Purchase Price (equal to the Issue Price plus accrued Original Issue
Discount and accrued and unpaid cash interest to the Purchase Date) may be paid,
at the option of the Company, in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock or any
combination thereof.

     If prior to a Purchase Date this Security has been converted to a
semiannual coupon debenture following the occurrence of a Tax Event, the
Purchase Price will be equal to the Restated Principal Amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest from the date of conversion to, but excluding, the Purchase
Date.

     At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to purchase all or a portion of
the Securities held by such Holder 35 Business Days after the occurrence of a
Change in Control of the Company occurring on or prior to August 16, 2003 for a
Change in Control Purchase Price equal to the Issue Price plus accrued Original
Issue Discount and accrued and unpaid cash interest to the Change in Control
Purchase Date, which Change in Control Purchase Price shall be paid in cash. If
prior to a Change in Control Purchase Date this Security has been converted to a
semiannual coupon debenture following the occurrence of a Tax Event, the Change
in Control Purchase Price shall be equal to the Restated Principal Amount plus
accrued and unpaid interest from the date of conversion to the Change in Control
Purchase Date.

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

     If cash (and/or securities if permitted under the Indenture) sufficient to
pay the Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the case may be,
of all Securities or portions thereof to be purchased as of the Purchase Date or
the Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, is deposited with the
Paying Agent on the Business Day following the Purchase Date or the Change in
Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, such Securities will cease to be
outstanding and Original Issue Discount and cash interest shall cease to accrue
on such Securities (or portions thereof) and will be deemed paid immediately
after such Purchase Date or Change in Control Purchase Date, as the case may be,
whether or not such Securities have been delivered to the Paying Agent, and the
Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to
receive the Purchase Price or Change in Control Purchase Price, as the case may
be, upon surrender of such Security).

     7.   Notice of Redemption.

     Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60
days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at
the Holder's registered address. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price
of all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is
deposited with the Paying Agent prior to or on the Redemption Date, immediately
after such Redemption Date Original Issue Discount ceases to accrue on such
Securities or portions thereof. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000
of Principal Amount at Maturity may be redeemed in part but only in integral
multiples of $1,000 of Principal Amount at Maturity.

     8.   Conversion.

     Subject to the next two succeeding sentences, a Holder of a Security may
convert it into Class A Common Stock of the Company at any time before the close
of business on August 16, 2020. If the Security is called for redemption, the
Holder may convert it at any time before the close of business on the Redemption
Date. A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Purchase Notice or
Change in Control Purchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to
require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if such
notice of exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

     The initial Conversion Rate is 29.5623 shares of Class A Common Stock per
$1,000 Principal Amount at Maturity, 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 Class A Common Stock.
<PAGE>

     In the event the Company exercises its option pursuant to Section 10.01 of
the Indenture to have interest in lieu of Original Issue Discount accrue on the
Security following a Tax Event, the Holder will be entitled on conversion to
receive the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock such Holder would have
received if the Company had not exercised such option. In any event, whether or
not the Company exercises such option, Securities 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 Securities to be redeemed on a date within such period or
on the next Interest Payment Date) must be accompanied by payment of an amount
equal to the interest thereon that the registered Holder is to receive. Except
where Securities surrendered for conversion must be accompanied by payment as
described above, no interest on converted Securities will be payable by the
Company on any Interest Payment Date subsequent to the date of conversion.

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

     A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the Principal Amount at
Maturity of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. No payment
or adjustment will be made for dividends on the Class A Common Stock except as
provided in the Indenture. On conversion of a Security, that portion of accrued
Original Issue Discount (or interest if the Company has exercised its option
provided for in paragraph 10 hereof) and (except as provided below) accrued cash
interest attributable to the period from the Issue Date (or, if the Company has
exercised the option referred to in paragraph 10 hereof, the later of (x) the
date of such exercise and (y) the date on which interest was last paid) or the
date on which interest was last paid through the Conversion Date with respect to
the converted Security shall not be cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but
rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through the
delivery of the Class A Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any, in
lieu of fractional shares) in exchange for the Security being converted pursuant
to the terms hereof; and the fair market value of such shares of Class A Common
Stock (together with any such cash payment in lieu of fractional shares) shall
be treated as issued, to the extent thereof, first in exchange for Original
Issue Discount (or interest, if the Company has exercised its option provided
for in paragraph 10 hereof) and cash interest accrued through the Conversion
Date, and the balance, if any, of such fair market value of such Common Stock
(and any such cash payment) shall be treated as issued in exchange for the Issue
Price of the Security being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, accrued but unpaid interest will be payable upon
conversion of Securities made concurrently with or after acceleration of
Securities following an Event of Default.

     The Conversion Rate will be adjusted for dividends or distributions on
Class A Common Stock payable in Class A Common Stock or other Capital Stock;
subdivisions, combinations or certain reclassifications of Class A Common Stock;
distributions to all holders of Class A Common Stock of certain rights to
purchase Class A Common Stock for a period expiring within 45 days at less than
the Market Price at the Time of Determination; and distributions to such holders
of assets or debt securities of the Company or certain rights to purchase
securities of the Company (excluding certain cash dividends or distributions).
However, no adjustment need be made if Securityholders 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 or a transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or upon
certain distributions described in the Indenture, the right to convert a
Security into Class A Common Stock may be changed into a right to convert it
into securities, cash or other assets of the Company or another person.

     9.   Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption.

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

     10.  Tax Event

          (a)  From and after (i) the date (the "Tax Event Date") of the
     occurrence of a Tax Event and (ii) the date the Company exercises such
     option, whichever is later (the "Option Exercise Date"), at the option of
     the Company, interest in lieu of future Original Issue Discount and regular
     cash interest shall accrue at the rate of 3.00% per annum on a principal
     amount per Security (the "Restated Principal Amount") equal to the Issue
     Price plus Original Issue Discount accrued through the Option Exercise Date
     and shall be payable semiannually on August 16 and February 16 of each year
     (each an "Interest Payment Date") to Holders of record at the close of
     business on August 1 or February 1 (each a "Regular Record Date'")
     immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed
     on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and will
     accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no
     interest has been paid, from the Option Exercise Date.

          (b)  Cash interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually
     paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to
     the person in whose name that Security is registered at the close of
     business on the Regular Record Date for such cash interest at the office or
     agency of the Company maintained for such purpose. Each installment of cash
     interest on any Security shall be paid in same-day funds by transfer to an
     account maintained by the payee located inside the United States.

          (c)  Except as otherwise specified with respect to the Securities, any
     Defaulted Interest on any Security shall forthwith cease to be payable to
     the registered Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue
     of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the
     Company as provided for in Section 10.02(b) of the Indenture.

     11.  Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

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

     12.  Persons Deemed Owners.

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

     13.  Unclaimed Money or Securities.

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

     14.  Amendment; Waiver.

     Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture
or the Securities may be amended with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity of the Securities at
the time outstanding and (ii) certain Defaults may be waived with the written
consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount at Maturity
of the Securities at the time outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set
forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Securityholder, the Company
and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities to cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect or inconsistency, or to comply with Article 5 or Section 11.14
of the Indenture, to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in
place of
<PAGE>

certificated Securities or to make any change that does not adversely affect the
rights of any Securityholder, or to comply with any requirement of the SEC in
connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA.

     15.  Defaults and Remedies.

     Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (i) default in the payment
of any cash interest upon any Security when such interest becomes due and
payable, and such default in payment of interest shall continue for 30 days;
(ii) default in the payment of the Principal Amount at Maturity (or, if the
Securities have been converted to semiannual coupon debentures following a Tax
Event pursuant to Article 10, the Restated Principal Amount), Issue Price plus
accrued Original Issue Discount, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or Change in
Control Purchase Price on any Security when the same becomes due and payable at
its Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration, when due for purchase by
the Company or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company to deliver shares of
Class A Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares) when such
Class A Common Stock (or cash in lieu of fractional shares) is required to be
delivered upon conversion of a Security and such failure continues for 10 days;
(iv) failure by the Company to comply with any of its agreements in the
Securities or the Indenture (other than those referred to in clauses (i), (ii)
and (iii) above) and such failure continues for 30 days after receipt by the
Company of a Notice of Default; (v) there shall be (a) a default under any bond,
debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed or under
any mortgage, indenture or other instrument under which there may be issued or
by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness by the Company or
any Significant Subsidiary or by any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the
aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or under any guarantee of
payment of Indebtedness by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or by any
Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or
shall hereafter be created, and the effect of such default is to cause such
Indebtedness (or Indebtedness so guaranteed) to become due prior to its stated
maturity or (b) a failure to pay at the stated maturity of any such Indebtedness
(or Indebtedness so guaranteed) any amounts then due and owing thereunder;
provided, however, that no Default under this clause (v) shall exist if all such
defaults and failures to pay relate to Indebtedness (including Indebtedness so
guaranteed) with an aggregate principal amount of not more than $25,000,000 at
the time outstanding; (vi) final judgments for the payment of money which in the
aggregate exceed $25,000,000 at the time outstanding shall be rendered against
the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company
which in the aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary by a court of
competent jurisdiction and shall remain undischarged for a period (during which
execution shall not be effectively stayed) of 60 days after such judgment
becomes final and nonappealable; or (vii) certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary or any Subsidiaries of the Company which in the aggregate would
constitute a Significant Subsidiary. If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Principal
Amount at Maturity of the Securities at the time outstanding, may declare all
the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy
or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Securities becoming
due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

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

     16.  Trustee Dealings with the Company.

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

     17.  No Recourse Against Others.
<PAGE>

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

     18.  Authentication.

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

     19.  Abbreviations.

     Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an
assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants
in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

     20.  GOVERNING LAW.

     THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

"Filing Deadline"), the Company shall file with the Commission a shelf
registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (the "Shelf
Registration Statement"), relating to all Registrable Securities, and shall use
reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become
effective on or prior to 180 days after the Closing Date (such 180th day, the
"Effectiveness Deadline").

     The Company shall use its best efforts to keep any Shelf Registration
Statement required by this Section 3(a) continuously effective, supplemented and
amended as required by and subject to the provisions of Section 5(a) hereof to
the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for sales of Registrable
Securities by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 3(a),
and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act
and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time
to time, for the Effectiveness Period.

          (a)  Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with
the Shelf Registration Statement. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees
that if such Holder wishes to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement and related Prospectus, it will do so only in accordance
with this Section 3(b) and Section 5(vi). Each Holder of Registrable Securities
wishing to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration
Statement and related Prospectus agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire
and, if requested, the information specified in Item 508 of Regulation S-K, to
the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to any intended distribution
of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement. From and after
the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company
shall, as promptly as is practicable after the date a Notice and Questionnaire
and, if requested, the information specified in Item 508 of Regulation S-K, is
delivered, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after such date, (i)
if required by applicable law, file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to
the Shelf Registration Statement or prepare and, if required by applicable law,
file a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any
document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
so that the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is named as a
selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related
Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such Prospectus
to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law
and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf
Registration Statement, use reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective
amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is
practicable, but in any event by the date (the "Amendment Effectiveness
Deadline") that is thirty (30) days after the date such post-effective amendment
is required by this clause to be filed; (ii) provide such Holder copies of any
documents filed pursuant to Section 3(b)(i); and (iii) notify such Holder as
promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any
post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 3(b)(i); provided, that if
such Notice and Questionnaire or information specified in Item 508 of Regulation
S-K is delivered during a Deferral Period, the Company shall so inform the
Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the actions set
forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Deferral
Period in accordance with Section 5(vi), provided, further, that if under
applicable law the Company has more than one option as to the type or manner of
making any such filing, it will make the required filing or filings in the
manner or of a type that is reasonably expected to result in the earliest
availability of the Prospectus for effecting resales of Registrable Securities.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be
under no obligation to name any Holder that has not delivered a Notice and
Questionnaire to the Company as a selling security holder in any Registration
Statement or related Prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that has
delivered a Notice

                                       4
<PAGE>

and Questionnaire to the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(b) of
this Agreement (whether or not such Holder has delivered a Notice and
Questionnaire to the Company by the time the Registration Statement was declared
effective) shall be named as a selling security holder in the Registration
Statement or related Prospectus in accordance with the requirements of this
Section 3(b).

     Section 4.  Liquidated Damages.

     The parties hereto agree that the Holders of Registrable Securities will
suffer damages, and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of
such damages with precision, if (i) the Shelf Registration Statement is not
filed with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline, (ii) such Shelf
Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or
prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the Company has failed to perform its
obligations set forth in Section 3(b) hereof within the time period required
therein, (iv) the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds
the number of days permitted in respect of such period pursuant to Section 5(vi)
hereof or (v) the number of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number
permitted in respect of such period pursuant to Section 5(vi) (each of the
events of a type described in any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) are
individually referred to herein as an "Event," and the Filing Deadline in the
case of clause (i), the Effectiveness Deadline in the case of clause (ii), the
date by which the Company is required to perform its obligations set forth in
Section 3(b) in the case of clause (iii) (including the filing of any post-
effective amendment prior to the Amendment Effectiveness Deadline), the date on
which the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the
number of days permitted by Section 5(vi) hereof in the case of clause (iv), and
the date of the commencement of a Deferral Period that causes the limit on the
number of Deferral Periods in any period under Section 5(vi) hereof to be
exceeded in the case of clause (v), being referred to herein as an "Event
Date"). Events shall be deemed to continue until the "Event Termination Date,"
which shall be the following dates with respect to the respective types of
Events: the date the Shelf Registration Statement is filed in the case of an
Event of the type described in clause (i), the date the Shelf Registration
Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act in the case of an Event
of the type described in clause (ii), the date the Company performs its
obligations set forth in Section 3(b) in case of an Event of the type described
in clause (iii), termination of the Deferral Period that caused the limit on the
aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in a period set forth in Section 5(vi) to
be exceeded in the case of the commencement of an Event of the type described in
clause (iv), and termination of the Deferral Period the commencement of which
caused the number of Deferral Periods in a period permitted by Section 5(vi) to
be exceeded in the case of an Event of the type described in clause (v).

     Accordingly, commencing on (and including) any Event Date and ending on
(but excluding) the next date on which there are no Events that have occurred
and are continuing (a "Damages Accrual Period"), the Company agrees to pay, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount (the "Liquidated Damages
Amount"), payable on the Damages Payment Dates to Holders of Registrable
Securities, accruing, for each portion of such Damages Accrual Period beginning
on and including a Damages Payment Date (or, in respect of the first time that
the Liquidated Damages Amount is to be paid to Holders on a Damages Payment Date
as a result of the occurrence of any particular Event, from the Event Date) and
ending on but excluding the first to occur of (A) the date of the end of the
Damages Accrual Period or (B) the next Damages Payment Date, at a rate per annum
equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) for the first 90-day period from the
Event Date, and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to one-half of one percent
(0.5%) of the aggregate Applicable Principal Amount of such Debentures and the
aggregate Applicable Conversion Price of such shares of Common Stock, as the
case may be, in each case determined as of the Business Day immediately
preceding the next Damages Payment Date; provided, that any Liquidated Damages
Amount accrued with respect to any Debentures or portion thereof called for
redemption on a redemption date or converted into Common Stock on a conversion
date prior to the Damages Payment Date, shall, in any such event, be paid
instead to the Holder who submitted such Debentures or portion thereof for
redemption or conversion on the applicable redemption date or conversion date,
as the case may be, on such date (or promptly following the conversion date, in
the case of conversion). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Liquidated Damages
Amount shall accrue as to any Registrable Security from and after the earlier of
(x) the date such security is no longer a Registrable Security and (y)
expiration of the Effectiveness Period. The rate of accrual of the Liquidated
Damages Amount with respect to any period shall not exceed the rate provided for
in this paragraph notwithstanding the occurrence of multiple concurrent Events.
Following the cure of all Events requiring the payment by the Company of
Liquidated Damages Amounts to the Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Section, the accrual of

                                       5
<PAGE>

Liquidated Damages Amounts will cease (without in any way limiting the effect of
any subsequent Event requiring the payment of a Liquidated Damages Amount by the
Company).

     The Trustee shall be entitled, on behalf of Holders of Registrable
Securities, to seek any available remedy for the enforcement of this Agreement,
including for the payment of any Liquidated Damages Amount. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties agree that the sole monetary damages payable for a
violation of the terms of this Agreement with respect to which liquidated
damages are expressly provided shall be such liquidated damages. Nothing shall
preclude a Holder of Registrable Securities from pursuing or obtaining specific
performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Agreement.

     All of the Company's obligations set forth in this Section 4 that are
outstanding with respect to any Registrable Security at the time such security
ceases to be a Registrable Security shall survive until such time as all such
obligations with respect to such security have been satisfied in full
(notwithstanding termination of this Agreement).

     The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages provided for in this
Section 4 constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred
by Holders of Registrable Security by reason of the failure of the Shelf
Registration Statement to be filed or declared effective or available for
effecting resales of Registrable Security in accordance with the provisions
hereof.

     Section 5.  Shelf Registration Procedures.

          (a)  Procedures. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement,
          the Company shall:

                    (i)   use reasonable efforts to effect such registration to
          permit the sale of the Registrable Securities being sold in accordance
          with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as
          indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to
          Section 3(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company will prepare
          and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement relating
          to the registration on any appropriate form under the Act, which form
          shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in
          accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof
          (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings)
          within the time periods and otherwise in accordance with the
          provisions hereof. The Company shall not be permitted to include in
          the Shelf Registration Statement any securities other than the
          Registrable Securities.

                    (ii)  use its best efforts to contact all Holders of
          Registrable Securities and notify each Holder of its right to include
          its Registrable Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement.

                    (iii) use its best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration
          Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite financial
          statements for the period specified in Section 3 of this Agreement.
          Upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Shelf
          Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to
          contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
          material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
          or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Registrable
          Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company
          shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Shelf
          Registration Statement curing such defect, and, if Commission review
          is required, use its best efforts to cause such amendment to be
          declared effective as soon as practicable.

                    (iv)  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
          and post-effective amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement as
          may be necessary to keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective
          for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 hereof, cause the
          Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement,
          and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act,
          and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as applicable, under
          the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Act
          with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered
          by such Shelf Registration

          Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended
          method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in
          such Shelf Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

               (v)  advise the Holders and underwriters, if any, promptly and,
          if requested by such Persons, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when
          the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective
          amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any Shelf Registration
          Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has
          become effective or (B) of any request by the Commission for
          amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement or amendments or
          supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating
          thereto. If at any time any state securities commission or other
          regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification
          or exemption from qualification of the Registrable Securities under
          state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company shall use its best
          efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the
          earliest possible time;

               (vi) Upon (A) the issuance by the Commission of a stop order
          suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or
          the initiation of proceedings with respect to the Shelf Registration
          Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, (B) the
          occurrence of any event or the existence of any fact (a "Material
          Event") as a result of which any Shelf Registration Statement shall
          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, or any Prospectus shall 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, or (C) the occurrence or existence of any pending
          corporate development that, in the discretion of the Company, makes it
          appropriate to suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration
          Statement and the related Prospectus, (i) in the case of clause (B)
          above, subject to the next sentence, as promptly as practicable
          prepare and file a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration
          Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document
          incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
          that would be incorporated by reference into such Shelf Registration
          Statement and Prospectus so that such Shelf Registration Statement
          does 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 such Prospectus does
          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, as thereafter delivered to the
          purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, and,
          in the case of a post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration
          Statement, subject to the next sentence, use all reasonable efforts to
          cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is reasonably
          practicable, and (ii) give notice to the Holders that the availability
          of the Shelf Registration Statement is suspended (a "Deferral Notice")
          and, upon receipt of any Deferral Notice, each Holder agrees not to
          sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement
          until such Holder's receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended
          Prospectus provided for in clause (i) above, or until it is advised in
          writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has
          received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
          incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus.
          The Company will use reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the
          Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (A) above, as
          promptly as is practicable, (y) in the case of clause (B) above, as
          soon as, in the sole judgment of the Company, public disclosure of
          such Material Event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to the
          interests of the Company or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden
          or expense, as soon as reasonable practicable thereafter and (z) in
          the case of clause (C) above, as soon as, in the discretion of the
          Company, such suspension is no longer appropriate. The period during
          which the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and any
          Prospectus is suspended (the "Deferral Period") shall, without the
          Company incurring any obligation to pay liquidated

                                       7
<PAGE>

          damages pursuant to Section 4, not exceed forty-five (45) days in any
          three (3) month period and ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month
          period.

               (vii)  furnish to each Holder named in any Shelf Registration
          Statement or Prospectus and underwriter, if any, in connection with
          such sale before filing with the Commission, copies of any Shelf
          Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any
          amendments or supplements to any such Shelf Registration Statement or
          Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after
          the initial filing of such Shelf Registration Statement), which
          documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Persons in
          connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five
          Business Days, and the Company will not file any such Shelf
          Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to
          any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all
          such documents incorporated by reference) to which such Persons shall
          reasonably object within five Business Days after the receipt thereof,
          after which time any Person failing to object shall be deemed to have
          accepted the form of the documents received. Any Person making a
          timely objection shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such
          filing if such objection is made because such Registration Statement,
          amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be
          filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
          state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
          misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the
          Act;

               (viii) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to
          be incorporated by reference into a Shelf Registration Statement or
          Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Holders, and
          underwriters, if any, in connection with such sale, make the Company's
          representatives available for discussion of such document and other
          customary due diligence matters, and include such information in such
          document prior to the filing thereof as such Holders may reasonably
          request;

               (ix)   make available at reasonable times for inspection by the
          Holders and underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant
          retained by such Holders, or underwriters, if any, all financial and
          other records, pertinent corporate documents of the Company and cause
          the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all
          information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriters, if
          any, attorney or accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration
          Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the
          filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness; provided, however, that
          such Persons shall first agree in writing with the Company that any
          information that is reasonable and in good faith designated by the
          Company in writing as confidential at the time of delivery of such
          information shall be kept confidential by such Persons, unless (A)
          disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative
          order or is necessary to respond to inquiries of regulatory
          authorities, (B) disclosure of such information is required by law
          (including any disclosure requirements pursuant to federal securities
          laws in connection with the filing of such Registration Statement or
          the use of any Prospectus), (C) such information becomes generally
          available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or
          failure to safeguard such information by such Person or (D) such
          information becomes available to such Person from a source other than
          the Company and its subsidiaries and such source is not known, after
          due inquiry, by such Person to be bound by a confidentiality
          agreement; provided further, that the foregoing investigation shall be
          coordinated on behalf of such Persons by one representative designated
          by and on behalf of such Persons and any such confidential information
          shall be available from such representative to such Persons so long as
          any Person agrees to be bound by such confidentiality agreement;

               (x)    if requested by any Holders or underwriters, if any, in
          connection with such sale, promptly include in any Shelf Registration
          Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective
          amendment if necessary, such information as such Holders or
          underwriters, if any, may reasonably request to have included therein,
          including, without limitation, information relating to the "Plan of
          Distribution" of the Registrable Securities; and make all required
          filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as
          soon as practicable after the

                                       8
<PAGE>

          Company is notified of the matters to be included in such Prospectus
          supplement or post-effective amendment;

               (xi)    furnish to each Holder and underwriter, if any, without
          charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement, as
          first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto,
          including all documents incorporated by reference therein and all
          exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference);

               (xii)   deliver to each Holder and underwriter, if any, without
          charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary
          prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons
          reasonably may request; the Company hereby consents to the use (in
          accordance with law) of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
          thereto by each Holder and each underwriter, if any, in connection
          with the offering and the sale of the Registrable Securities covered
          by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;

               (xiii)  upon the request of any Holder or underwriter, if any,
          enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements) and
          make such representations and warranties and take all such other
          actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the
          disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf
          Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement as may be
          reasonably requested by such Person in connection with any sale or
          resale pursuant to any applicable Shelf Registration Statement and in
          such connection, the Company shall:

               (A)  upon request of any Holder or underwriter, if any, furnish
          (or in the case of paragraphs (2) and (3) below, use its best efforts
          to cause to be furnished) to each Holder or underwriter, if any, upon
          the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement:

                    (1)  a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of the
               Company by (x) the President or any Vice President and (y) a
               principal financial or accounting officer of the Company,
               confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in
               Sections 6(v), 9(a) and 9(b) of the Purchase Agreement and such
               other similar matters as the Holders may reasonably request;

                    (2)  opinions, dated the date of effectiveness of the Shelf
               Registration Statement, of counsel for the Company covering
               matters similar to those set forth in paragraphs (e) and (f) of
               Section 9 of the Purchase Agreement and such other matters as the
               selling Holders may reasonably request, and in any event
               including a statement to the effect that such counsel has
               participated in conferences with officers and other
               representatives of the Company, representatives of the
               independent public accountants for the Company and have
               considered the matters required to be stated therein and the
               statements contained therein, although such counsel has not
               independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of
               such statements; and that such counsel advises that, on the basis
               of the foregoing, no facts came to such counsel's attention that
               caused such counsel to believe that the Shelf Registration
               Statement, at the time such Shelf Registration Statement or any
               post-effective amendment thereto became effective, contained an
               untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
               material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
               the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus
               contained in such Shelf Registration Statement as of its date,
               contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
               state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
               therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
               made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such
               counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no
               responsibility for, and has not independently verified, the
               accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements,
               notes and schedules and other financial data included in any
               Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the
               related Prospectus; and

               effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement from the
               Company's independent accountants, in the customary form and
               covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort
               letters to underwriters in connection with underwritten
               offerings, and affirming the matters set forth in the comfort
               letters delivered pursuant to Section 9(h) of the Purchase
               Agreement; and

                    (4)  deliver such other documents and certificates as may be
               reasonably requested by the Holders and underwriters, if any, to
               evidence compliance with the matters set forth in clause (A)
               above and with any customary conditions contained in any
               agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to this clause
               (xiii);

               (xiv)    prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities,
     cooperate with the Holders, underwriters, if any, and their respective
     counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the
     Registrable Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
     jurisdictions as such Persons may request and do any and all other acts or
     things 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 register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not
     now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service
     of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and
     transactions relating to the Shelf Registration Statement, in any
     jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;

               (xv)     in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities
     that will result in such securities no longer being Registrable Securities,
     cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and
     delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and
     not bearing any restrictive legends; and to register such Registrable
     Securities in such denominations and such names as the Holders may request
     at least two Business Days prior to such sale of Registrable Securities;

               (xvi)    list all Shares of Common Stock covered by such Shelf
     Registration Statement on any securities exchange on which the Common Stock
     is then listed or (B) authorize for quotation on the National Association
     of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") or the National
     Market System of NASDAQ all Shares of Common Stock covered by such Shelf
     Registration Statement if the Common Stock is then so authorized for
     quotation.

               (xvii)   use its best efforts to cause the disposition of the
     Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be
     registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
     authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to
     consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, subject to the
     proviso contained in clause (xiv) above;

               (xviii)  provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities
     not later than the effective date of a Shelf Registration Statement
     covering such Registrable Securities and provide the Trustee under the
     Indenture with printed certificates for the Registrable Securities which
     are in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company;

               (xix)    otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
     applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally
     available to its security holders with regard to any applicable
     Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings
     statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 (which need not be audited)
     covering a twelve-month period beginning after the effective date of the
     Registration Statement (as such term is defined in paragraph (c) of Rule
     158 under the Act);

               (xx)     if underwritten, make appropriate officers of the
     Company reasonably available to the underwriters for meetings with
     prospective purchasers of the Registrable Securities and

                                       10

     prepare and present to potential investors customary "road show" material
     in a manner consistent with other new issuances of other securities similar
     to the Registrable Securities; and

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

               (xxii)  provide promptly to each Holder upon request each
     document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section
     13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     (b)  Restrictions on Holders. Each Holder receiving a Deferral Notice
hereby agrees that it will either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than
permanent file copies, then in such Holder's possession which have been replaced
by the Company with more recently dated Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the
Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies,
then in such Holder's possession of the Prospectus covering such Registrable
Securities that was current at the time of receipt of the Deferral Notice. The
time period regarding the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement set
forth in Section 3 hereof, shall be extended by a number of days equal to the
number of days in the period from and including the date of delivery of the
Deferral Notice to the date of termination of the Deferral Period.

     Section 6.  Registration Expenses.

          (a)  All expenses incident to the Company's performance of or
compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of

Holders selling Registrable Securities pursuant to the "Plan of Distribution"
contained in the Shelf Registration Statement, for the reasonable fees (not to
exceed $10,000) and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be
Davis Polk & Wardwell, unless another firm shall be chosen by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount at maturity of the Registrable Securities for whose
benefit such Shelf Registration Statement is being prepared.

     Section 7.  Indemnification.

          (a)  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder,
its directors, its officers and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
judgments, (including without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred
in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action
that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement, preliminary
prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) provided by
the Company to any Holder or any

                                       11
<PAGE>

prospective purchaser of registered Debentures or registered shares of Common
Stock 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, liabilities or
judgments are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission that is based upon information relating to any of the
Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders.

          (b)  Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, severally and
not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors and
officers, and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section
15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, to the same extent
as the foregoing indemnity from the Company set forth in Section 7(a) above, but
only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing
to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement.
In no event shall any Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person, if any,
who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of
the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement
exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Registrable Securities and
(ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, its officers or
any Person, if any, who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.

          (c)  In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in
respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b) (the
"indemnified party"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying person") in writing
and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and
the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that
in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to both Sections 7(a) and 7(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the
defense of such action pursuant to this Section 7(c), but may employ separate
counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Holder).
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the
employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by
the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume
the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from
or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party
shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for
all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by a majority of the
Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a), and by
the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(b). The
indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by
reason of any settlement of any action effected with its written consent. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of
judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which
the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or
contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified
party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an
unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that
are or could have been the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not
include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

          (d)  To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this
Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on
the one hand, and the Holders, on the

                                       12
<PAGE>

other hand, from their sale of Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause 7(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause 7(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one
hand, and of the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holders, on the other hand,
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, on the
one hand, or by the Holders, on the other hand, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.

     The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or
by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments 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 party in
connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that
could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Holder or its related
Indemnified Holders shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any
amount in excess of the amount by which the total received by such Holder with
respect to the sale of its Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Registrable
Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages which such Holder has 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 Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Holders' obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 7(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount at
maturity of Registrable Securities held by each of the Holders hereunder and not
joint.

     Section 8.  Rule 144A and Rule 144.

     The Company agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Registrable
Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company (i) is
not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon
request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, to any Holder or beneficial
owner of Registrable Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any
prospective purchaser of Registrable Securities designated by such Holder or
beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in
order to permit resales of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144A,
and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make all
filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

     Section 9.  Underwritten Registrations.

          (a)  If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf
Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the
investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will
administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in amount
of such Registrable Securities included in such offering, subject to the consent
of the Company (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten
registration hereunder unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell its Registrable
Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

                                       13
<PAGE>

          (b)  Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees, if requested
(pursuant to a timely written notice) by the managing underwriters in an
underwritten offering made pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, not to
effect any private sale or distribution (including a sale pursuant to Rule
144(k) and Rule 144A, but excluding non-public sales to any of its affiliates,
officers, directors, employees and controlling persons) of any of the
Debentures, in the case of an underwritten offering of the Debentures, or the
Common Stock, in the case of an underwritten offering of shares of Common Stock
constituting Registrable Securities, during the period beginning 10 days prior
to, and ending 90 days after, the closing date of such underwritten offering.

     The foregoing provisions of Section 9(b) shall not apply to any Holder of
Registrable Securities if such Holder is prevented by applicable statute or
regulation from entering into any such agreement.

          (c)  If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf
Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the underwriters, their
controlling persons and their respective officers, directors, employees,
representatives and agents shall be entitled to indemnity (substantially similar
to the indemnity set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement) from the Company and
the Holders, which indemnity may be set forth in an underwriting agreement.

     Section 10. Miscellaneous.

          (a)  Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by
the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 3 hereof may result in
material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which
there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure
damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure,
the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required
to specifically enforce the Company's obligations under Section 3 hereof. The
Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific
performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

          (b)  No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not, on or after the
date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities
that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company has not previously
entered into any agreement (which has not expired or been terminated) granting
any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person, except for
that certain Registration Agreement dated as of September 2, 1988, whereby
certain of the Company's executive officers and Robert A. Knox, a director of
the Company, have certain demand registration rights and "piggyback"
registration rights, at the Company's expense, with respect to registration
under the Securities Act of all their shares of Common Stock. The rights granted
to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not
inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities
under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

          (c)  No Piggybacks on Shelf Registration Statement. With the exception
of registration rights granted in the Registration Agreement as disclosed in
Section 10(b) hereof, the Company shall not grant to any of its security holders
(other than the holders of Registrable Securities in such capacity) the right to
include any of its securities in any Shelf Registration Statement provided for
in this Agreement other than the Registrable Securities.

          (d)  Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures
from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 4
hereof and this Section 10(d)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent
of Holders of all outstanding Registrable Securities and (ii) in the case of all
other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders
of a majority of the outstanding principal amount at maturity of Registrable
Securities (excluding Registrable Securities held by the Company or its
Affiliates).

          (e)  Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to
enforce such agreements directly to the extent they may deem such enforcement
necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

Registrable Securities in violation of the terms hereof or of the Purchase
Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire
Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise,
such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this
Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person
shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictions on resale
set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the Purchase Agreement, and such
Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

          (h)  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
CONFLICT OF LAW RULES THEREOF.

          (k)  Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

          (l)  Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a
final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties

                                       15

or referred to herein with respect to the registration rights granted with
