ARTICLE II
THE NOTES

SECTION 2.1 FORM AND DATING

(a) General. The Securities and the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Securities shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Security conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Restricted Global Securities. All of the Securities are initially being offered and sold to QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A and to Non-U.S. Persons in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S and shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Restricted Global Securities, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co., duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Securities Custodian as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

(c) Global Securities in General. Securities issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Security Legend thereon and the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security" attached thereto). Securities issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Security Legend thereon and without the "Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Security" attached thereto). 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 principal amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.6 hereof.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary or under the Global Security, and the Depositary (including, for this purpose, its nominee) 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 (A) 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 (B) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

SECTION 2.2 EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION

Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. In the case of Certificated Securities, such signatures may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on such Securities. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time a Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an "Authentication Order"), authenticate Securities for issuance up to the aggregate principal amount stated in such Authentication Order; provided that Securities authenticated for issuance on the Issue Date shall not exceed $240,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

SECTION 2.3 REGISTRAR, PAYING AGENT, CONVERSION AGENT AND DEPOSITARY

The Company shall maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar"), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for 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 appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents or conversion agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar, the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent and the term "Conversion Agent" includes any additional conversion agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Securities. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent and to act as Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Securities.

SECTION 2.4 PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST

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 Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities.

SECTION 2.5 HOLDER 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 all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or shall cause the Registrar (if other than the Company) to furnish, to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date 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 the Holders of Securities and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

SECTION 2.6 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in this Section 2.6, when a Security is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form and, if applicable, a transfer certificate each in the form included in Exhibit A, and in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.3, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar's request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, and provided, that this sentence shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.6(b), 9.5, 10.2(e) or 11.5.

(b) If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends set forth in subsection (j) below (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 if requested by the Company or such Registrar, as may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar, that neither the Legend nor related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A, Rule 144 or Regulation S or that such Securities are not "restricted" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided that no such evidence need be supplied in connection with the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory evidence if requested, or (ii) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Legend. If the Legend is removed from the face of a Security and the Security is subsequently held by an Affiliate of the Company, the Legend shall be reinstated.

(c) 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 the foregoing 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. 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 this Section 2.6.

(d) Subject to the succeeding paragraph, every Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend other than an Unrestricted Security. 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 A, 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.

(e) 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 2.6 (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, if requested by the Company or the Registrar, an opinion of counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Company and addressed to the Company, to the effect that the transfer of such Security has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision), be exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive Legend. The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel or registration statement.

(f) As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 2.6, the term "transfer" encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition of any Security.

(g) The provisions of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) below shall apply only to 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, (B) the Company has provided the Depositary with written notice that it has decided to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfer through the Depositary or any successor Depositary or (C) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (C) 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, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such

names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(iii) Subject to the provisions of clause (v) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members 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.

(v) Neither 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.

(vi) At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Security have been exchanged for Certificated Securities or a particular Global Security has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security or for Certificated Securities, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement may be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement may be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) By its acceptance of any Security bearing the legends required by Section 2.6 (j), each Holder of such a Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in such legends and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture.

(i) The Registrar shall retain, in accordance with its customary procedures, copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 2.6. The

Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

(j) Legends. The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global Securities and Certificated Securities issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

(i) Private Placement Legend.

(A) Except as permitted by subparagraph (B) below, each Global Security and each Certificated Security (and all Securities issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the legend in substantially the following form:

"THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND THIS SECURITY AND THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION THEREOF MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A OR REGULATION S THEREUNDER."

"THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF REGAL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP THAT (A) THIS SECURITY AND THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION THEREOF MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (II) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (III) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (IV) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR THAT IS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3)) OR (7) OF REGULATION D UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER ACT IF AVAILABLE OR (V) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (V) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE CONDUCTED UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT."

"THIS SECURITY AND ANY RELATED DOCUMENTATION MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME TO MODIFY THE RESTRICTIONS ON AND PROCEDURES FOR RESALES AND OTHER TRANSFERS OF THIS SECURITY TO REFLECT ANY CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION (OR THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF) OR IN PRACTICES RELATING TO THE RESALE OR TRANSFER OR RESTRICTED SECURITIES GENERALLY. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY SHALL BE DEEMED BY THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS SECURITY TO HAVE AGREED TO ANY SUCH AMENDMENT OR SUPPLEMENT. THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO, AND ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF, A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 28, 2003, ENTERED INTO BY THE COMPANY FOR THE BENEFIT OF CERTAIN HOLDERS OF SECURITIES FROM TIME TO TIME."

(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Global Security or Certificated Security transferred, issued in exchange for or as a replaced for Securities not bearing the legends required by this paragraph (j), or (ii) there is delivered to the documents required in Section 2.6(b) or (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (and the Registrar, if other than the Trustee) a Company Order stating that the Security is not a Restricted Security, shall not bear the Private Placement Legend.

(ii) Global Security Legend. To the extent required by the Depositary, each Global Security shall bear legends in substantially the following forms:

"THIS GLOBAL SECURITY IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS SECURITY) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.6 OF THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.6(g) OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL SECURITY MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY."

"UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK) ("DTC"), TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS

MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN."

(k) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Securities and Certificated Securities upon receipt of an Authentication Order.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security or to a Holder of a Certificated Security for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.6 and 10.5 hereof).

(iii) All Global Securities and Certificated Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Securities or Certificated Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same Indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Securities or Certificated Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(iv) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Securities and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(v) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Securities and Certificated Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof.

(vi) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.6 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

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

(viii) Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder's Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and or/applicable United States federal or state securities law.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as to any certifications and certificates delivered to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Registrar's duties shall be limited to confirming that any such certifications and certificates delivered to it are in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Registrar shall not be responsible for confirming the truth or accuracy of representations made in any such certifications or certificates.

SECTION 2.7 REPLACEMENT SECURITIES

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee and the Company receive evidence (which evidence may be from the Trustee) to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee's requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Security, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security. Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

SECTION 2.8 OUTSTANDING SECURITIES

The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee (including any Security represented by a Global Security) except for those cancelled by it or at its direction, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.9 hereof, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, such Security 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 principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.1 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

SECTION 2.9 TREASURY SECURITIES

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.10 TEMPORARY SECURITIES

Until certificates representing Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Certificated Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Holders of temporary Securities shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.11 CANCELLATION

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company), and no one else shall cancel

all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Securities shall be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.12 DEFAULTED INTEREST

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date plus, to the extent lawful, any interest payable on the defaulted interest at the rate and in the manner provided in Section 4.1 hereof and in the Security (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at 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 and the Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of cash equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such cash when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (1). Thereupon the Paying Agent 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 Paying Agent of the notice of the proposed payment. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Trustee 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 Holder at its address as it appears in the Security register maintained by the Registrar 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 (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered 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 in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the 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 and the Paying Agent of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee and the Paying Agent.

SECTION 6.2 ACCELERATION

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) and (6) of Section 6.1 hereof relating to the Company or any of the Company's Significant Subsidiaries,) then in every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) (an "Acceleration Notice"), may declare all principal, determined as set forth below, and accrued interest (and Additional Interest, if any) thereon to be immediately due and payable.

Subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee

reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to all provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.

(c) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration being made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article VI, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul, on behalf of all Holders, any such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee cash sufficient to pay: (a) all overdue interest (and Additional Interest, if any) on all Securities; (b) the principal of (and premium, if any, applicable to) any Securities which would become due other than by reason of such declaration of acceleration, and to the extent such interest is lawful, interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities; (c) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Securities; and (d) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof; and

(2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (and Additional Interest, if any) on the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.4 hereof.

(d) Notwithstanding clause (c)(2) of this Section 6.2, no waiver shall be effective against any Holder for any Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby, unless all such affected Holders agree, in writing, to waive such Event of Default or other event. No such waiver shall cure or waive any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.3 OTHER REMEDIES

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, and 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 it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Security 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. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.4 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS

Subject to Section 6.7 hereof and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.2(b), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences under this Indenture, except, subject to Section 6.2(c), a default:

(1) in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, or interest on any Security not yet cured as specified in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.2(c) hereof;

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Article IX, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected, unless all such affected Holders agree, in writing, to waive such default;

(3) in the conversion of any Security into Class A Common Stock pursuant to Article X; or

(4) the rescission of which would conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right arising therefrom.

SECTION 6.5 CONTROL BY MAJORITY

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities not joining in the giving of such direction or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability and the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Securities.

SECTION 6.6 LIMITATION ON SUITS

(3) such Holder of a Security or Holders of Securities offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

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

A Holder of a Security may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Security or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Security.

SECTION 6.7 RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES TO RECEIVE PAYMENT

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, except as permitted by Section 9.2 hereof, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest (and Additional Interest, if any) on the Securities, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or the right to convert the Security in accordance with Article X or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or such conversion, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.8 COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1 hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium (and Additional Interest, if any) and interest remaining unpaid on the Securities and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.9 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and 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) and the Holders of the Securities allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian 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 to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 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, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and may be a member of the creditor's committee.

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of Securities of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Security who has been a Holder of a Security for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder of a Security may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this

Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Securities. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7 hereof.

(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.7 shall survive and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, and 9.4, Article X and this Article VIII, shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full.

SECTION 8.2 APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, all money deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.1 and shall apply the deposited money in accordance with this Indenture and the Securities to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities.

SECTION 8.3 REPAYMENT TO COMPANY.

The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess money (i) deposited with them pursuant to Section 8.1 and (ii) held by them at any time.

The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after a right to such money has matured; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be mailed to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

SECTION 8.4 REINSTATEMENT.

If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 8.2 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of the principal of or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive any such payment from the money held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 9.1 WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES.

Notwithstanding Section 9.2 hereof, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities, without the consent of any Holder of a Security:

(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(b) to comply with Section 10.8;

(d) to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to the Holders of the Securities in the case of a merger or consolidation pursuant to Article V hereof;

(e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Securities or that does not adversely affect the rights hereunder of any Holder of the Security;

(f) to comply with the provisions of the Depositary, Euroclear or Clearstream or the Trustee with respect to the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities relating to transfers and exchanges of Securities or beneficial interests therein; or

(g) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 9.2 WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES.

Except as expressly stated otherwise in this Section 9.2, and subject to Section 6.7 hereof, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities), and, subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities).

Subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company or any Subsidiary with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities.

However, without the consent of each Holder affected (it being understood that, except as expressly stated otherwise in paragraphs (a) through (d) below, Article XI hereof may be amended, waived or modified in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 9.2) an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder):

(a) change the Stated Maturity on any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate (or extend the time for payment) of interest thereon, reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of maturity of, or change the coin or currency or place in which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or after a Change of Control has occurred reduce the Change of Control Purchase Price with respect to the corresponding Change of Control,

(b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such amendment, supplemental indenture or waiver provided for in this Indenture,

(c) modify any of the waiver provisions of this Section 9.2, except to increase any required percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby, or

(d) adversely affect the right of Holders to convert their Securities other than as provided in or under Article X of this Indenture.

In connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Article IX, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, offer to any Holder who consents to such amendment, supplement or waiver, or to all Holders, consideration for such Holder's consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Securities as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture adversely affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver.

SECTION 9.3 COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.4 REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective (as determined by the Company and which may be prior to any such amendment, supplement or waiver becoming operative), a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Security and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same Indebtedness as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder of a Security or subsequent Holder of a Security may revoke the consent as to its Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective (as determined by the Company), which may be prior to any such amendment, supplement or waiver becoming operative.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be the date so fixed by the Company notwithstanding the provisions of the TIA. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who

were Holders at such record date, and only those Persons (or their duly designated proxies), shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (a) through (d) of Section 9.2 hereof, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security; provided, that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal and premium of and interest (and Additional Interest, if any) on a Security, on or after the respective dates set for such amounts to become due and payable expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates.

SECTION 9.5 NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Security thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Securities may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.6 TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and (subject to Section 7.1 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE X
CONVERSION

SECTION 10.1 CONVERSION PRIVILEGE.

(a) Subject to the further provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 10.2(b)) and paragraph 7 of the Securities, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, at any time on or after May 15, 2007 through the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity to convert the principal amount of any such Securities, or any portion of such principal amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at the Conversion Price then in effect into shares of Class A Common Stock. Subject to the further provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 10.2(b)) and paragraph 7 of the Securities, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder's option, at any time prior to May 15, 2007, to convert the principal amount of any such Securities, or any portion of such principal amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at the Conversion Price then in effect into shares of Class A Common Stock, unless previously purchased by the Company at the Holder's option upon a Change of Control, if:

(1) the Closing Sale Price on the previous Trading Day was 110% or more of the then current Conversion Price of the Securities;

(2) the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock rights or warrants entitling such holders to purchase Class A Common Stock at a price less than the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day preceding the declaration for such distribution;

(3) other than the Extraordinary Dividend, the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, cash or other assets, debt securities or rights or warrants to purchase the Company's securities, which distribution has a per share value, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day preceding the declaration for such distribution;

(4) the Company becomes a party to a consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or a Change of Control occurs, in each case, pursuant to which its Common Stock would be converted into cash, stock or other property unless, in the case of a consolidation or merger, all of the consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters' appraisal rights, in such merger or consolidation consists of shares of common stock, American Depositary Shares or other certificates representing common equity interests traded on a United States national securities exchange or quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such merger or consolidation, and as a result of such merger or consolidation the Securities become convertible solely into such common stock or other certificates representing common equity interests; or

(5) after any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the average of the Trading Prices of the Securities for that five consecutive Trading Day period was less than 100% of the average of the Conversion Values for the Securities during that period. Upon the occurrence of the foregoing, a Holder may surrender Securities for conversion at any time beginning on the date on which the Securities become convertible through and including the close of business on the 10th Trading Day after the Securities become convertible.

(b) (1) In the case of the occurrence of the events described under subsection (a)(2) and (3) above, the Company shall notify Holders of Securities at least 20 days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution (the "Distribution Notice"). Once the Company has given the Distribution Notice, a Holder may surrender its Securities for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Ex-Dividend Date or the Company's announcement that such distribution will not take place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder shall have no right to convert the Securities if the Holder may participate in the distribution without converting.

(2) In the case of the occurrence of any event described under subsection (a)(4) above, the Company will notify Holders at least 20 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction (the "Merger Notice"). Once the Company has given the Merger Notice, a Holder may surrender Securities for conversion at any time from and after the date which is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction until 29 Business Days after the actual date of the transaction.

(c) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of a Security.

SECTION 10.2 CONVERSION PROCEDURE.

Each Security shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent into, at the Company's option, pursuant to subsection (b) below, fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated to the nearest 1/1000th of a share) of Class A Common Stock, cash or a combination of shares of Class A Common Stock and cash. The Security will be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at the Conversion Price therefor.

(a) In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Securities in certificated form, the Holder of any such Securities to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:

(1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Security (the "Conversion Notice") or complete and manually sign a facsimile of the Conversion 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; and

(4) pay all transfer or similar taxes, if required.

The Conversion Notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued, if applicable. All such Securities surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Securities, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or his duly authorized attorney.

In order to exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any interest in Securities in global form, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary's book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by this Section 10.2 and any transfer taxes if required pursuant to Section 10.5. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the requirements set forth in (1) through (4) in the paragraph above or the requirements set forth in this paragraph, as applicable, is referred to as the "Conversion Date."

(b) Upon conversion of any Securities, the Company shall satisfy its conversion obligations with respect to such Securities (the "Conversion Obligation") by delivering to the Holder, at the Company's option, either (i) shares of its Class A Common Stock, (ii) cash or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of its Class A Common Stock (each a "Settlement Method")), as follows:

(1) If the Company elects to satisfy the entire Conversion Obligation in shares of Class A Common Stock, then it shall deliver to the Holder a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities delivered by the Holder pursuant to the Conversion Notice divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date (the "Share Settlement").

(2) If the Company elects to satisfy the entire Conversion Obligation in cash (the "Cash Settlement"), then the Company shall deliver to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the product of (a) the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered by the Holder pursuant to the Conversion Notice divided by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date, and (b) the arithmetic mean of the Volume Weighted Average Prices of the Company's Class A Common Stock on each Trading Day during the applicable cash settlement averaging period described below.

(3) If the Company elects to satisfy a portion of the Conversion Obligation in cash (the "Partial Cash Amount") and a portion in shares of Class A Common Stock, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder such Partial Cash Amount plus a number of shares equal to (a) the cash settlement amount as set forth in clause (2) above minus such Partial Cash Amount, divided by (b) the arithmetic mean of the Volume Weighted Average Prices of the Company's Class A Common Stock on each Trading Day during the applicable cash settlement averaging period defined in Sections 10.2(c)(3) or (d)(2) below (the "Combined Settlement").

(c) If the Company receives the Holder's Conversion Notice on or prior to the day that is 30 days prior to the Stated Maturity of the Securities, then the procedures of this Section 10.2(c) shall apply.

(1) If the Company chooses to satisfy the Conversion Obligation by Share Settlement, then settlement in shares will be made on or prior to the 10^th Trading Day following the Conversion Date.

(2) If the Company chooses to satisfy the Conversion Obligation by Cash Settlement or Combined Settlement, then the Company shall notify the Holder, through the Trustee, of the dollar amount to be satisfied in cash (which shall be expressed either as 100% of the Conversion Obligation or as a fixed dollar amount) at any time on or before the date that is two Business Days following receipt of the Holder's Conversion Notice (the "Settlement Notice Period"). If the Company does not notify the Holder of its intended Settlement Method within the Settlement Notice Period, the Company shall satisfy all Conversion Obligations by Share Settlement.

(3) If the Company timely elects Cash Settlement or Combined Settlement, then the Holder may retract its Conversion Notice at any time during the two Business Day period beginning on the day after the Settlement Notice Period (the "Conversion Retraction Period"). The Holder cannot retract its Conversion Notice (and the Conversion Notice therefore will be irrevocable) if the Company elects Share Settlement. If the Holder has not retracted its Conversion Notice, then Cash Settlement or Combined Settlement shall occur on the first Trading Day following the applicable "cash settlement averaging period." The applicable "cash settlement averaging period" will be the five Trading Day period beginning on the first Trading Day after the Conversion Retraction Period.

(d) If the Company receives the Conversion Notice after the day that is 30 days prior to the maturity date of the Securities, then the procedures of this Section 10.2(d) shall apply.

(1) If on or prior to the day that is 30 days prior to Stated Maturity, the Company notifies all Holders, through the Trustee, that the Company intends to satisfy all Conversion Obligations arising during such 30 day period by either Cash Settlement or Combined Settlement and includes in such notice the method for computing the fixed dollar amount of cash that will be delivered to the Holder, then such Settlement Method shall be the method used by the Company to settle all Conversion Obligations in connection with Conversion Notices delivered less than 30 days prior to Stated Maturity. If the Company does not notify the Holders of its intended Settlement Method on or prior to the day that is 30 days prior to Stated Maturity, then the Company shall satisfy all Conversion Obligations thereafter by Share Settlement. In any event, the Company shall settle all Conversion Obligations after the day that is 30 days prior to Stated Maturity by the same Settlement Method. No Holder may retract its Conversion Notice delivered after the day that is 30 days prior to a Stated Maturity;

(2) If the Company has timely elected Cash Settlement or Combined Settlement, then with respect to all subsequent conversions, settlement amounts shall be computed as set forth in subsection (b) above, except that the applicable "cash settlement averaging period" shall be the 20 Trading-Day period that begins on the date that is the 22nd Trading Day expected to occur prior to the maturity date and that ends on the second Trading Day immediately preceding Stated Maturity. However, if 20 Trading Days do not occur after such date and prior to Stated Maturity, then the cash settlement averaging period will be the number of Trading Days that actually occur prior to Stated Maturity.

Upon an Event of Default as described in Section 6.1 (other than a default in a cash payment upon conversion of the Securities) shall have occurred and is continuing, the Company may not pay cash upon conversion of any Security or portion of the Security (other than cash for fractional shares pursuant to Section 10.3).

Settlement (in shares and/or cash) shall occur on or prior to the fifth Trading Day following Stated Maturity (or, if Stated Maturity is not a trading day, on the sixth Trading Day after Stated Maturity).

(e) Subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares of Class A Common Stock are issuable on conversion and are to be issued in a name other than that of the Holder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Securities (or portion thereof) so converted), the Company shall issue and shall deliver to such Holder at the office of the Conversion Agent, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Securities or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article, unless the Holder holds Securities in book-entry form with DTC, then the shares of Class A Common Stock shall be delivered in accordance with DTC's customary practices, and a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Class A Common Stock arising upon such conversion, as provided in Section 10.3. In case any Securities of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Securities so surrendered, without charge to the Holder, new Securities in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Securities.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the Conversion Date, and the person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the Holder of record of the shares of Class A Common Stock represented thereby; provided, however, that in case of any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, the person or persons in whose name the certificate or certificates for such shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the record Holder thereof for all purposes on the next day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon which such Securities shall be surrendered.

(f) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.4, the Company shall not make any payment or other adjustment for dividends on any Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities. If a converting Holder submits Securities for conversion between a Record Date and the opening of business on the next Interest Payment Date (except for Securities subject to purchase following a Change of Control on a purchase date occurring during the period from the close of business on a Record Date and ending on the opening of business on the first Business Day after the next Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the second Business Day after the Interest Payment Date), such Securities shall also be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on the principal amount of such Securities then being converted. If the converting Holder surrenders its Securities for conversion on a date that is not an Interest Payment Date (except for Securities subject to purchase following a Change of Control described in the previous sentence), the converting Holder shall not receive any interest for the period from the Interest Payment Date preceding the date of conversion or for any later period. However, if a Holder submits its Security for conversion between the Record Date for the final interest payment and the opening of business on the final Interest Payment Date, the converting Holder shall not be required to pay funds equal to the interest payable on the converted principal amount, and shall retain any interest received for the final interest period.

(g) If the Securities are subject to purchase following a Change of Control, the conversion rights as a result of such Change of Control on the Securities so subject to purchase shall expire at the close of business on the last Business Day before the Change of Control Purchase Date or such earlier date as the Securities are presented for purchase, or if the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price, the Holder's conversion right as a result of such Change of Control shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and the Securities are purchased. If the Holder has submitted Securities for purchase upon a Change of Control, the Holder may only convert its Securities if such Holder withdraws its election in accordance with this Indenture.

(h) Upon the conversion of an interest in Global Securities, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company) shall make a notation on such Global Securities as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Securities effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(i) Each stock certificate representing Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities that are Restricted Securities shall bear the legend in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.

SECTION 10.3 FRACTIONAL SHARES.

The Company will not issue fractional shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of Securities. In lieu thereof, the Company will pay an amount in cash for the current market value of the fractional shares. The current market value of a fractional share shall be determined, (calculated to the nearest 1/1000th of a share) by multiplying the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date by such fractional share and rounding the product to the nearest whole cent.

SECTION 10.4 ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE.

The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, while any of the Securities are outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock on its shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares of Common Stock and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution. Such reduction becomes effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.4(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, issue to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them (for a period of not more than 60 days after such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share or a conversion price per share less than the Closing Sale Price on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date of such announcement by a

fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of announcement, plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Closing Sale Price on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance determined by multiplying such total number of shares so offered by the exercise price of such rights or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such Closing Sale Price), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of announcement plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase or into which convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, securities so offered are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date of announcement of such issuance.

To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Closing Sale Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(c) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In each such case, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(d) (i) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.4(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.4(b), and excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash referred to in Sections 10.4(e), (f) and (g) below) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 10.4(d) called the "Distributed Securities"), then, in each such case, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall

be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on the Event Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Event Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Event Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock, and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price.

Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Event Record Date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 10.4(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price.

Each share of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities pursuant to this Article X shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of common stock or preferred stock purchase rights, if any, as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder rights plan adopted by the Company (notwithstanding the occurrence of an event causing such rights to separate from the Class A Common Stock at or prior to the time of conversion). Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a stockholder rights plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants for the purposes of Section 10.4(b) or this Section 10.4(d).

(ii) For the purposes of this Section 10.4(d), rights or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan) distributed by the Company to all holders of its Class A Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Class A Common Stock; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Class A Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.4(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.4(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section 10.4(d). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other non-cash assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 10.4(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained

such rights or warrants), made to all applicable holders of Class A Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 10.4(d) and Section 10.4(a), 10.4(b), and 10.4(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.4(d) is applicable that also includes (x) shares of Common Stock, (y) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to which Section 10.4(b) applies (or any combination thereof), or (z) a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock to which Section 10.4(c) applies or shall be deemed instead to be:

(1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants, other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination to which Section 10.4(a), 10.4(b), and 10.4(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 10.4(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by,

(2) dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination (and any further Conversion Price reduction required by Section 10.4(a), 10.4(b), and 10.4(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:

(A) the Event Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution," and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 10.4(a), (y) "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants," within the meaning of Section 10.4(b) and (z) "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" and "the day upon which such combination becomes effective" within the meaning of Section 10.4(c); and

(B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 10.4(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.

(e) In case of a dividend or distribution (other than an extraordinary dividend adjusted pursuant to clause (g) below) to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock of cash in an aggregate amount (without duplication) after the Issue Date and within 12 months preceding the date of payment of such dividend or distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment has been made that exceeds $0.60 per share (the "Maximum Allowed Amount"), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution less the difference between (a) the sum of such dividends or distributions during such 12 months preceding the date of payment applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the determination date) and (b) the Maximum Allowed Amount and (y) the denominator shall be such

average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the dividend date for such divided or distribution.

(f) In case of a dividend or distribution (other than an extraordinary dividend adjusted pursuant to clause (g) below) to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock of cash in an aggregate amount (without duplication) after the first anniversary of the Issue Date and within 12 months preceding the date of payment of such dividend or distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment has been made that is less than $0.36 per share (the "Minimum Allowed Amount"), the Conversion Price shall be increased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such conversion price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for three Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution plus the difference between (a) the Minimum Allowed Amount and (b) the sum of such dividends or distributions during such 12 months preceding the date of payment applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the determination date) and (y) the denominator shall be such average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the dividend date for such dividend or distribution.

(g) Other than the cash dividend of $0.15 per share of Common Stock declared on April 22, 2003 and payable on June 13, 2003, the dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for Common Stock consummated after the Issue Date and within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such dividend or distribution and in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment has been made (provided, that, no Conversion Price adjustment shall have been deemed made on that portion of any dividend not actually adjusted under clause (e) or (f) above) and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock made after the Issue Date and within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such dividend or distribution and in respect of which no conversion price adjustment has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of (i) the average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution (the "Determination Date") and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the (x) numerator shall be the average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market value of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable after the Issue Date and within such 12 months (including, without limitation, such dividend or distribution) applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and (y) the denominator shall be the average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date on which such dividend or distribution is paid.

(h) In the case of the purchase of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the extent that the same involves aggregate consideration that together with (A) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in

respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for Common Stock consummated after the Issue Date and within the preceding 12 months not triggering a Conversion Price adjustment and (B) all-cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than the cash dividend of $0.15 per share of Common Stock declared on April 22, 2003 and payable on June 13, 2003) made after the Issue Date and within the preceding 12 months not triggering a Conversion Price adjustment, exceeds an amount equal to 10% of the Market Capitalization on the expiration date of such tender offer (the "Expiration Time"), then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the product of (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time and (C) the Current Market Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and (D) the denominator of which 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 offer) of all shares validly tendered 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 Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time. Such reduction (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such tender offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 10.4(h) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Conversion Price, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 10.4(h).

(i) The Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be adjusted as follows:

(1) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock on its shares of Common Stock, then the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying each such Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares of Common Stock and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution. Such reduction becomes effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.4(i)(1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall again be adjusted to the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(2) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, issue to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares

of Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them (for a period of not more than 60 days after such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price per share or a conversion price per share less than the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, each of the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the amount determined by multiplying each of the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount in effect at the opening of business on the date of such announcement by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of announcement, plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Closing Sale Price on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance determined by multiplying such total number of shares so offered by the exercise price of such rights or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such Closing Sale Price), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of announcement plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase or into which convertible, exchangeable or exercisable, securities so offered are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date of announcement of such issuance.

To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be readjusted to the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall again be adjusted to be the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Closing Sale Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(3) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then each of the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then each of the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased. In each such case, each of the Maximum Allowable Amount

and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be adjusted by multiplying such Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such subdivision or combination. Such reduction or increase, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(4) (i) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while the Securities are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 10.4(i)(1) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in Section 10.4(i)(2), and excluding any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash referred to in Sections 10.4(e), (f) above and(i)(5) below), then, in each such case, the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be reduced so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount in effect on the Event Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Event Record Date less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Event Record Date of the portion of the Distributed Securities so distributed applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock, and

(B) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price.

Such reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Event Record Date for such distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 10.4(i)(4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price.

(ii) For the purposes of this Section 10.4(i)(4), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Class A Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a Trigger Event: (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Class A Common Stock; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Class A Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.4(i)(4) (and no adjustment to the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount under this Section 10.4(i)(4) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be made under this Section 10.4(i)(4). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the

holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount under this Section 10.4(i)(4) was made, (x) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any Holders thereof, the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Class A Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all applicable holders of Class A Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (y) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 10.4(i)(4) and Section 10.4(i)(1), 10.4(i)(2), and 10.4(i)(3), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.4(i)(4) is applicable that also includes (x) shares of Common Stock, (y) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to which Section 10.4(i)(2) applies (or any combination thereof), or (z) a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock to which Section 10.4(i)(3) applies or shall be deemed instead to be:

(C) (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants, other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination to which Section 10.4(i)(1), 10.4(i)(2), and 10.4(i)(3) apply, respectively (and any Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount reduction required by this Section 10.4(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by,

(2) dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such rights or warrants or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or such subdivision or combination (and any further Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount reduction required by Section 10.4(i)(1), 10.4(i)(2), and 10.4(i)(3) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:

(D) the Event Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution," and "the date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of Section 10.4(i)(1), (y) "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants," within the meaning of Section 10.4(i)(2) and (z) "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" and "the day upon which such combination becomes effective" within the meaning of Section 10.4(i)(3); and

increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.

(5) Other than the cash dividend of $0.15 per share of Common Stock declared on April 22, 2003 and payable on June 13, 2003, the dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of cash in an aggregate amount that, together with the aggregate amount of (A) any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for Common Stock consummated after the Issue Date and within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such dividend or distribution and in respect of which no Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount adjustment has been made (provided, that, no Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount adjustment shall have been deemed made on that portion of any dividend not actually adjusted under clause 10.4 (e) or (f) above) and (B) all other cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock made after the Issue Date and within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such dividend or distribution and in respect of which no Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount adjustment has been made, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the product of (i) the average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution (the "Determination Date") and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date (excluding shares held in the treasury), the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount in effect immediately prior to the Determination Date by a fraction of which the (x) numerator shall be the average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the Determination Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate fair market value of any such other consideration so distributed, paid or payable after the Issue Date and within such 12 months (including, without limitation, such dividend or distribution) applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the Determination Date) and (y) the denominator shall be the average of the Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the Determination Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date on which such dividend or distribution is paid.

(6) In the case of the purchase of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the extent that the same involves aggregate consideration that together with (A) any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for Common Stock consummated after the Issue Date and within the preceding 12 months not triggering a Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount adjustment and (B) all-cash distributions to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (other than the cash dividend of $0.15 per share of Common Stock declared on April 22, 2003 and payable on June 13, 2003) made after the Issue Date and within the preceding 12 months not triggering a Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount adjustment, exceeds an amount equal to 10.0% of the Company's Market Capitalization on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Maximum

Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount in effect immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the product of (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time and (C) the Current Market Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and (D) the denominator of which 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 offer) of all shares validly tendered 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 Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time. Such reduction (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount shall again be adjusted to be the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount which would then be in effect if such tender offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 10.4(i)(6) to any tender offer would result in an increase in the Maximum Allowable Amount and Minimum Allowable Amount, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this Section 10.4(i)(6).

(j) For purposes of this Section 10.4, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated:

(A) "Current Market Price" on any date means the average of the Closing Sale Prices for the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the day before the record date (or, if earlier, the Ex-Dividend Date) with respect to any distribution, issuance or other event requiring such computation.

(B) "Event Record Date" shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(C) "fair market value" shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm's length transaction.

(k) The Company may make such decreases in the Conversion Price, in addition to any adjustments required by this Section 10.4, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(l) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 Business Days, the decrease is irrevocable during the period and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such decrease would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Price is decreased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to Holders of record of the Securities a notice of the

decrease at least 15 days prior to the date the decreased Conversion Price takes effect, and such notice shall state the decreased Conversion Price and the period during which it will be in effect.

(m) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent an Officers' Certificate setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers' Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Price and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Price of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Price to each Holder of Securities at such Holder's last address appearing on the list of Security holders provided for in Section 2.5 of this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(n) In any case in which this Section 10.4 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after an Event Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Securities converted after such Event Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 10.3.

(o) For purposes of this Section 10.4, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

SECTION 10.5 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 such 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 certificate 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 regulation.

SECTION 10.6 COMPANY TO PROVIDE STOCK.

The Company shall, prior to issuance of any Securities hereunder, 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 Class A Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Securities into shares of Class A Common Stock.

All shares of Class A Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly issued 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 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 the New York Stock Exchange or on the Nasdaq National Market or other over-the-counter market or such other market on which the Class A Common Stock is then listed or quoted, if any; provided, however, that if rules of such automated quotation system or exchange permit the Company to defer the listing of such Class A Common Stock until the first conversion of the Securities into Class A Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company covenants to list such Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with the requirements of such automated quotation system or exchange, if any, at such time. Any Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security hereunder which at the time of conversion was a Restricted Security will also be a Restricted Security.

SECTION 10.7 NOTICE OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.

In case,

(1) other than the Extraordinary Dividend, the Company shall take any action that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10.4; or

(2) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or

(3) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries;

then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at such Holder's address appearing on the list of Security holders provided for in Section 2.5 of this Indenture, as promptly as practicable but in any event at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose taking such action, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to the benefits of such action are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

SECTION 10.8 EFFECT OF RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE ON CONVERSION PRIVILEGE.

If any of the following events occur, namely:

(a) any reclassification or change of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, or any other change for which an adjustment is provided in Section 10.4(c));

(b) any consolidation or merger or combination to which the Company is a party other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any

reclassification of, or change (other than in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock; or

(c) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to any other person as a result of which holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Class A Common Stock;

then the Company or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing that such Securities shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance by a holder of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Securities (assuming, for such purposes, a sufficient number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock available to convert all such Securities) immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, assuming such holder of Class A Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance (provided that, if the kind or amount of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Class A Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("nonelecting share"), then for the purposes of this Section 10.8, the kind and amount of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article X. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Class A Common Stock includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Securities maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 10.8 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 10.4 shall not apply.

SECTION 10.9 TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.

The Trustee or any other Conversion Agent shall have the duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article X should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate including the Officers' Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent pursuant to Section 10.7. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representation as to the validity or

value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company's failure to comply with any provisions of this Article X.

The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 10.7 but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Officers' Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent pursuant to Section 10.7.

SECTION 10.10 COMPANY DETERMINATION FINAL.

Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make pursuant to this Article X shall be conclusive if made in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of this Article, absent manifest error, and set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

ARTICLE XI

In the event that a Change of Control has occurred, each Holder of Securities shall have the right, at such Holder's option, pursuant to an offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any) by the Company (the "Change of Control Offer"), to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's Securities (provided, that the principal amount of such Securities must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) on a date (the "Change of Control Purchase Date") that is no later than 30 Business Days after the occurrence of such Change of Control, at a cash price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest (and Additional Interest, if any), to, but excluding, the Change of Control Purchase Date (the "Change of Control Purchase Price").

Any Change of Control Offer shall be made in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, if applicable, Regulation 14E under the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder and all other applicable Federal and state securities laws. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this covenant, the Company's compliance with such laws and regulations shall not in and of itself cause a breach of their obligations under such covenant.

If the Change of Control Purchase Date hereunder is on or after an interest payment Record Date and on or before the associated Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest (and Additional Interest, if any) due on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Security is registered at the close of business on such Record Date.

SECTION 11.2 NOTICE OF CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(3) that the Security shall be repurchased with respect to the Change of Control Purchase Date pursuant to the terms specified in the Securities and this Indenture.

The delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent with, or at the time after delivery of, the Change of Control Repurchase Notice (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 of Control Purchase Price therefor; provided, however, that such Change of Control Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Article XI 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 of Control Repurchase Notice.

SECTION 11.3 EFFECT OF CHANGE OF CONTROL REPURCHASE NOTICE.

Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Change of Control Repurchase Notice specified in Section 11.2(b), the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Change of Control Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Change of Control Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change of Control Repurchase Price with respect to such Security. Such Change of Control Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Change of Control Purchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 11.2(b) 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 11.2(b).

SECTION 11.4 DEPOSIT OF CHANGE OF CONTROL REPURCHASE PRICE.

Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day), sufficient to pay the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be repurchased on such Change of Control Purchase Date.

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO, AND ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS OF, A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF MAY 28, 2003, ENTERED INTO BY THE COMPANY FOR THE BENEFIT OF CERTAIN HOLDERS OF SECURITIES FROM TIME TO TIME.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture (as defined below) unless otherwise indicated.

1. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 3³/4% per annum. The Company shall pay interest semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2003. Interest on the Securities shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date; provided, however, that if there is not an existing default in the payment of interest and if this Security is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Any reference herein to interest accrued or payable as of any date shall include any Additional Interest accrued or payable on such date as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on this Note (except defaulted interest) to the person who is the Holder of this Security at the close of business on April 30 or October 31, as the case may be, next preceding the related interest payment date. The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company may, however, pay principal and interest in respect of any Certificated Security by check or wire payable in such money; provided, however, that a Holder with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $2,000,000 will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election of such Holder if such Holder has provided wire transfer instructions to the Company. The Company may mail an interest check to the Holder's registered address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this Security is registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments hereon shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

A-3

3. Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the "Trustee", which term shall include any successor trustee under the Indenture hereinafter referred to) will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without notice to the Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4. Indenture. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of the Issue Date ("Indenture") by and 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 amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.

5. Redemption. The Company shall have no right to redeem the Securities at its option prior to the Stated Maturity of the Securities. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Securities. The Securities shall not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

6. Offers to Purchase Upon a Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control has occurred, each Holder of Securities shall have the right, at such Holder's option, pursuant to an offer (subject only to conditions required by applicable law, if any) by the Company (the "Change of Control Offer"), to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's Securities (provided, that the principal amount of such Securities must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) on a date (the "Change of Control Purchase Date") that is no later than 30 Business Days after the occurrence of such Change of Control, at a cash price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest (and Additional Interest, if any), to the Change of Control Purchase Date.

7. Conversion Privilege. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, a Holder of a Security, at such Holder's option, may convert the principal amount of such Security (or any portion thereof equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) into, at the Company's option either, (i) shares of Common Stock, (ii) cash or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that if the Security is subject to purchase upon a Change of Control, the conversion right will terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date, for such Security or such earlier date as the Holder presents such Security for purchase (unless the Company shall default in making the Change of Control Purchase Price, when due, in which case the conversion right shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and such Security is purchased); provided, however, that prior to May 15, 2007, the Holder shall only have the option to convert pursuant to the conditions described in Section 10.1 of the Indenture.

The initial Conversion Price is $26.988 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances as provided in the Indenture. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Security is determined by dividing the principal amount of the Security or portion thereof converted by the Conversion Price in effect on the Conversion Date. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion; in lieu thereof, an amount will be paid in cash based upon the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Indenture) of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

A-4

To convert a Security, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the conversion notice set forth below and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by a Registrar or a Conversion Agent, and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. Securities so surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business on any regular record date to the opening of business on the next succeeding interest payment date (excluding Securities or portions thereof subject to purchase upon a Change of Control on a Change of Control Purchase Date, as the case may be, during the period beginning at the close of business on a regular record date and ending at the opening of business on the first Business Day after the next succeeding interest payment date, or if such interest payment date is not a Business Day, the second such Business Day) shall also be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount of such Security then being converted, and such interest shall be payable to such registered Holder notwithstanding the conversion of such Security, subject to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the payment of defaulted interest by the Company. If the Company defaults in the payment of interest payable on such interest payment date, the Company shall promptly repay such funds to such Holder. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

A Security in respect of which a Holder had delivered a Change of Control Repurchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be converted only if the Change in Control Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days during the period between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities), and, subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7 of the Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Defaults (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities).
