Execution copy CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON 2001 BASKET SWAPS (STANDARD TERMS) Credit Suisse First Boston (Europe) Limited ("CSFB") and the Counterparty have entered into a 1992 ISDA Master Agreement, with related schedules (the "Master Agreement"). These terms (the Basket Swaps Standard Terms") supplement the Master Agreement and are for use in documenting swap agreements on securities ('Securities Swaps"). To enter into a transaction hereunder, a Counterparty must notify (by telephone or otherwise) CSFB of its request for an offer, specifying the name of the relevant equity security and the proposed quantity, and whether the Counterparty wishes to act as synthetic buyer or synthetic seller. If CSFB agrees to such offer it must then notify (by telephone or otherwise) the Counterparty of the proposed opening price. Should the Counterparty wish to accept this offer, it must promptly notify CSFB (by telephone or otherwise) of its assent. This acceptance gives rise to a binding Contract, a Confirmation of which will be sent by CSFB to the Counterparty An offer by CSFB that is not immediately accepted shall be deemed to lapse unless CSFB specifically states that it shall remain open. The Counterparty shall be deemed to have accepted the terms of the Confirmation sent by C SFB if it does not dispute its terms within five business days of receipt. This failure to dispute the terms within five business days shall constitute acceptance in full by the Counterparty of the Contract upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set wt in the Confirmation and within these Basket Swaps Standard Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Basket Swaps Standard Terms and any Confirmation, the Confirmation shall prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Basket Swaps Standard Terms and the Master Agreement, the Basket Swaps Standard Terms shall prevail. 19 1. DEFINITIONS 1.1.

CONTRACT TERMS is each successive Business Day from but excluding the Trade Date up to and including the Closing Date. 2.1 The purpose of each Contract is to allow the Counterparty synthetically to gain exposure to fluctuations in the price of the relevant Security. Accordingly, CSFB and the Counterparty agree that it is an express term of the Contract that: 24 Execution copy CO neither party acquires any interest in or right to acquire any Security by virtue of any Contract; and (ii) neither party is obliged to sell, purchase, hold, deliver or receive any Security by virtue of any Contract. 3. EQUITY AND CALCULATION OF INTEREST 3.1 The Opening Equity Balance adjusted as provided in 3.3 is referred to as the Equity Balance. On the Trade Date the Opening Equity Balance shall be zero. For the avoidance of doubt an Equity Balance may be positive or negative. 3.2 On each Valuation Date for a Contract, CSFB shall determine the Reference Price. 3.3 On each Equity Payment Date (up to but excluding the Termination Date), an Equity Payment shall be made to take into account any change in the Reference Price of the Securities. Equity Payments shall adjust the Equity Balance. The Equity Payment shall be an amount equal to [Q x (P 2 -PI)3, where: Q = the Contract Quantity; Pi = the Reference Price on the immediately prior Equity Cycle Date or in respect of the first Equity Payment Date, the Opening Price; and P2= the Reference Price on the most recent Equity Cycle Date. If P2 is greater than 131, then the Seller shall make the Equity Payment to the Buyer and the Equity Balance shall be increased by an equal amount. If P2 is less than Pi, then the Buyer shall pay the Seller and the Equity Balance shall be reduced by an equal amount and may be reduced below zero. 3.4 On each Interest Payment Date, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Interest Payment. The Interest Payment shall be the aggregate amount of Interest accrued daily from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or the Effective Date in the case of the first payment made under this Section 3.4) to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date (or the Termination Date as the case may be). EFTA01592126 Each day's Interest shall be calculated as [((Q x P o) +N) x (R + C) x (1/- F)], where: 0= Po = R= C= F= N= the Contract Quantity; the Opening Price; the Applicable Interest Rate on such day; the Spread, which may be positive or negative, and may depend on whether Counterparty is Buyer or Seller, as set out in the Schedule; the Day Count Fraction; and the Equity Balance on the previous Interest Payment Date. 3.5 On the first Equity Payment Date only, the Counterparty shall pay an amount equal to the Commission to CSFB. Commission is calculated as: Q x Pox Z, 25 Execution copy where Z = Commission Percentage 4. PAYMENTS NETTING AND SETTLEMENT 4.1 If, on any date the same amounts would otherwise be payable by each party to the other (under any provision of a Security Swap with respect to any Contract), then on such date, each party's obligation to make such payment shall be automatically satisfied and discharged. If the aggregate amount otherwise payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount payable by the cther, then the party with the larger aggregate amount shall assume a new obligation in the amount of the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller. 4.2 All payments to be made by a party in respect of any Contract shall be made in immediately available funds. 5. ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS 5.1 Additional Payments shall be made by the Seller if, during the period from but not including the Trade Date to and including the Closing Date, any of the following circumstances shall occur: If a Security pays a dividend or makes another distribution, the payment to be made by the Seller shall be equal to the gross amount of the cash dividend or distribution per share (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any tax credits), as the case may be, multiplied by the Dividend Percentage, multiplied by the EFTA01592127 Contract Quantity and in respect of Securities which are Bonds, an amount equal to the coupon amount payable to persons who would be holders of record of the Securities multiplied by the Contract Quantity. (ii) If the issuer of a Security shall, by way of preferential rights, offer, grant or issue to the holders of such Securities generally such Securities or any other securities, which by their terms of issue are convertible into or exchangeable for or carry rights to subscribe for or otherwise acquire such Securities or any options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or otherwise acquire such Securities or any such convertible or exchangeable securities, the payment to be made by the Seller shall be equal to the aggregate value of the rights as determined by CSFB in its discretion on the Business Day on which the rights are first traded. (iii) If the issuer of a Security shall distribute to holders of such Securities generally any of its assets (including cash or portfolio securities) out of its reserves (but excluding cash dividends payable out of distributable reserves), the payment to be made by the Seller shall be equal to the value of the cash or securities obtained by way of distribution as determined by CSFB in its commercially reasonable discretion on the Business Day on which the Security is marked ex the distribution. 26 Execution copy All Additional Payments made under this Section shall be payable on the date of the relevant distribution to holders of the relevant Securities, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties. 5.2 In case of a Potential Adjustment Event (as defined below) affecting a Security, CSFB shall determine (in its own discretion) the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be made to the Security's Reference Price (or Opening Price as the case may be) and/- or to its Contract Quantity. CSFB shall consider the diluting or concentrating effect of the Potential Adjustment Event, and attempt to preserve the economic equivalent of the rights and obligations of the parties as in effect immediately prior to the Potential Adjustment Event. CSFB shall also determine the date of adjustment. 5.3 For the purposes of Section 5.2, "Potential Adjustment Event" means any of the following: EFTA01592128 (i) a subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of Securities, or a free distribution or dividend of additional securities to existing holders of Securities by way of bonus, capitalization or similar issue; (ii) a distribution or dividend to existing holders of Securities of additional Securities, other share capital or securities granting the right to payment of dividends and/or the proceeds of liquidation of the issuer equally or proportionately with such payments to holders of Securities or other types of securities, rights or warrants or other assets, in any case for payment (cash or other) at less than the prevailing market price as determined by CSFB in a commercially reasonable manner; (iii) a call by the issuer in respect of Securities that are not fully paid; (iv) a repurchase by the issuer of Securities, whether out of profits or capital and whether the consideration for such repurchase is cash, securities or otherwise; or (v) any other similar event that may have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the Securities. In determining whether an adjustment should be made as a result of a Potential Adjustment Event, CSFB may have regard to, but shall not be bound by, any adjustment to the terms of the relevant options contracts made and announced by a Related Exchange. 5.4 CSFB shall determine in a commercially reasonable manner any Additional Payment or adjustment of the Opening Price or Contract Quantity or other relevant provision. Its determination shall be subject to the agreement of the Counterparty. Notice of any Additional Payments or adjustments pursuant to this Section shall be given to the Counterparty as soon as practicable after the determination of such Additional Payments or adjustments. No events occurring after the Closing Date shall give rise to any adjustments in relation to any Contract. 27 Execution copy 5.5 If CSFB and Counterparty agree (both acting reasonably) that there has been, within the term of a Contract or the 6 months following distribution date, a change in any applicable law or regulation (or a change in the interpretation or application by any court, governmental or other authority of such law or regulation) which has EFTA01592129 the effect of reducing or increasing the amount of the ordinary cash dividend per Security actually due to the Counterparty had it been an actual holder of a Security, CSFB may adjust the Dividend Percentage with immediate effect by notice in writing to the Counterparty. If any such change is to take effect prior to the date upon which CSFB gives such notice, CSFB may make such adjustments to the payment obligations of the parties in respect of any Contract to which it considers such change applies. In the event that the Contract shall have been previously closed, the Counterparty and CSFB shall indemnify each other in respect of any such change on a full indemnity basis. 6. CORPORATE ACTIONS 6.1 Upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any Merger Event (defined below) with respect to any issuer of the Securities which are the subject of any Contract hereunder, CSFB shall notify Counterparty of such Merger Event and where the consideration for the Securities consists: 0 (or at the option of the holder of the Securities, may consist) solely of shares (whether of the offeror or a third party) ("New Shares") then on or after the Merger Event , the number of New Shares to which a holder of Securities would be entitled upon consummation of the Merger Event shall be deemed to be the Contract Quantity and the New Shares, the Securities; (ii) solely of cash and/or any securities (other than New Shares) or assets (whether of the offeror or a third party) ('Other Consideration") then on or after the Merger Event, the amount of Other Consideration shall be deemed to be the Contract Quantity; or (iii) of New Shares in combination with Other Consideration then on or after the Merger Event, the number of New Shares and the Amount of Other Consideration shall together be deemed to be the Contract Quantity, and in either of the above, CSFB will adjust any relevant terms of the Contract as it deems necessary. 6.2 "Merger Event" means, in respect of the Securities which are the subject of one or more Contracts hereunder, any: reclassification or change of such Securities that results in a transfer of or an EFTA01592130 irrevocable commitment to transfer all of the outstanding shares of such Securities; (ii) consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the issuer of the Securities with or into another entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation or merger in 28 Execution copy which such issuer is the continuing entity and which does not result in reclassification or change of all of the outstanding Securities); or (iii) other takeover offer for the Securities that results in a transfer of or an irrevocable commitment to transfer all of the Securities (other than such Securities owned or controlled by the offeror), in each case if the Merger Date (defined below) is on or before the Closing Date. 6.3 "Merger Date" means, in respect of any Merger Event, the date upon which holders of the necessary number of Securities (other than, in the case of a takeover offer, shares of such Securities owned or controlled by the offeror) have agreed or have irrevocably become obligated to transfer their Securities. 7. SUSPENSION AND LIQUIDATION 7.1 If on any Business Day, trading on an Exchange is suspended in the Security which forms the subject of a Contract, or if CSFB reasonably determines that a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing, the Market Price for the Security shall be determined at the Close of Business as the last traded price on the day such suspension or Market Disruption Event occurs. If such day is a Closing Date, then the Closing Date shall be the first succeeding Business Day on which the Security is traded on the Exchange. CSFB shall then in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner determine the Closing Price for the Security. 7.2 If at any time trading on an Exchange in the Security is suspended for a period of ten days or more, then either party may terminate the Contract (with notice to the other party). CSFB and Counterparty shall then, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, agree on a Closing Date and Closing Price. The provisions of Section 8 shall otherwise apply. 7.3 If at any time prior to the Closing Date, the issuer of a Security shall have entered into insolvency or liquidation proceedings (whether following suspension or otherwise), then the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the date on which the liquidator EFTA01592131 or official receiver gives notice of the final distribution to the holders of shares in the insolvent issuer. If no such distribution is declared, the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the date of the final declaration of dividends to the unsecured creditors of the insolvent issuer. The Closing Price of the Security for the purposes of Section 8 shall be equal to the amount receivable through the distribution to each such holder of each share held by it or, if none, zero. 8. CONTRACT CLOSING AND MATURITY 8.1 On any Business Day when CSFB or the Counterparty wishes to close any Contract (whether in whole or in part), it shall give notice of that fact to the other party (by telephone or otherwise) specifying the Security and the proportion of such Contract it wishes to close. 8.2 CSFB shall then calculate and notify the Counterparty of the Closing Price (by telephone or otherwise). The Counterparty shall not later than the Close of Business 29 Execution copy on the second following Business Day notify CSFB (by telephone or otherwise) whether or not it is willing to accept such Closing Price. The Counterparty shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Price if it fails to notify CSFB as specified above. If the Counterparty accepts the Closing Price, CFSB shall settle the contract as per Section 8.3, and such date shall be deemed the Closing Date. If no agreement is reached within such period, quotations relating to the Closing Price shall be sought from Reference Dealers. If exactly three quotations are received, the Closing Price shall be the quotation remaining after the highest and lowest are discarded. If two quotations are received, the Closing Price will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations If one quotation is received the Closing Price shall be such quotation. If no quotations are received, the Closing Price will be as reas onably determined By CSFB having regard to any reasonable issues raised by the Counterparty regarding CSFB's initial calculation. 8.3 On the Closing Date (be it the Original Closing Date or otherwise), CSFB EFTA01592132 shall calculate the Contract Price Difference as an amount equal to: (Q x (P2 -N)), where: Q = the Contract Quantity; Po = the Opening Price; and P2 = the Closing Price. If P2 is greater than Po, then the Seller shall pay the Buyer an amount equal to the Contract Price Difference If P2 is less thanPo, then the Buyer shall pay such amount to the Seller. Additionally, if Equity Balance is (i) positive then that amount shall be paid by the Buyer to Seller; (ii) negative then that amount shall be paid by Seller to the Buyer. 8.4 If the Counterparty has elected to close the Contract, in whole or in part, before the Original Closing Date (should one exist), then CSFB (also on the Closing Date) shall calculate the Breakage Amount (with the formula provided below), which shall be due from the Counterparty to CSFB. The Breakage Amount shall be an amount equal to (Q x Z x P2), where: Q= z= P2 — the amount of the Contract Quantity being closed; the Commission Percentage; and the Closing Price. 8.5 All payments due under 8.3 (Contract Price Difference), 8.4 (Breakage Amount) and the final Interest Payment under 3.4 shall be netted against each other, and the balance, shall be due on the Termination Date. However, where agreed between the parties the balance, together with interest calculated at a rate agreed between the parties from time to time, may be paid on the next following Equity Payment Date or Interest Payment Date (as if such Contract had not terminated). 8.6 If CSFB or the Counterparty gives notice to close only a portion of the Contract Quantity, then the provisions of this Section shall apply only to that portion. The 30 Execution copy remainder of the Contract Quantity shall continue to be governed by this Contract, until closed. 9. CALCULATION AND SETTLEMENT OF PAYMENTS 9.1 All payments made under a Contract shall be made in accordance with the account EFTA01592133 details specified in the relevant Confirmation. 9.2 All payments shall be in the Contract Currency. 10. TERMINATION FOR HEDGING/AUTOMATIC TERMINATION 10.1 Should CSFB wish to borrow a Security and either is unable to do so, or if CSFB's ability to do so becomes, in the reasonable opinion of CSFB, materially impaired or restricted at any time for whatever reason including, without limitation, for reasons of price or availability), then CSFB shall notify the Counterparty. On the Counterparty's request, CSFB shall provide reasonable evidence of such circumstances. CSFB's determination of impairment, however, shall be conclusive. 10.2 At any time following such notification, CSFB may, at its election, close the Contract, in whole or in part, and/or adjust the Spread to compensate CSFB for any increase in costs or risks. CSFB shall give the Counterparty notice of its action, including the Closing Price and Spread (to be determined by CSFB in its own discretion), and, if relevant, the date of notice shall serve as the Closing Date. Sections 8.3 and 8.4 shall apply. 10.3 Where a Contract references Securities which are convertible instruments ("Convertible") such Contract shall terminate automatically upon the effective date of a conversion (or however described in the terms of such Convertible, "Conversion Date") and such Conversion Date of the Convertible shall be deemed to be the Termination Date in respect of such Contract. 11.
