<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or
market, cost being determined utilizing the last-in, first-out
(LIFO) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO
method can only be calculated at the end of a fiscal year based
upon the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly,
interim LIFO calculations reflected herein are based upon
management&#146;s estimates of year-end inventory levels and
costs. The replacement cost of inventories approximated
$549&nbsp;million and $528&nbsp;million at August&nbsp;4, 2002
and February&nbsp;3, 2002, respectively.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The carrying value of the inventory exceeds the
current replacement cost primarily as a result of the
application of the LIFO inventory method of accounting. The
Company&#146;s costs of acquiring inventories through normal
purchasing activities have been decreasing in recent years as
the Company&#146;s increased size and cash flows have enabled it
to take advantage of volume discounts and lower product
acquisition costs resulting in a lower current replacement cost
of inventory.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">From time to time, the Company performs an
analysis of the net realizable value of the inventory, after
consideration of expected disposal costs and normal profit
margins, to determine if the LIFO carrying value of the
inventory is impaired. Should an impairment be indicated, the
carrying value of the inventory would be reduced. No such
impairment is indicated based on current market conditions.
Historically, the net realizable value of the inventory has
exceeded its carrying value. The Company&#146;s analysis for the
first half of fiscal 2002 indicated that the net realizable
value approximated the carrying value of inventories at
August&nbsp;4, 2002. This was a result of the Company&#146;s
program to increase promotional pricing (temporarily reducing
selling prices of its products) in order to attract customers,
resulting in the lowering of gross profit margins in the first
half of fiscal 2002. The Company reduced promotional activity
during the second quarter and plans to continue this trend
throughout the remainder of fiscal 2002. Accordingly, the
Company expects the net realizable value of

<FONT size="2">On July&nbsp;2, 2002, CSK Auto Corporation sold
6,878,300 primary shares of common stock in an underwritten
public offering at $12 per share. In addition, a selling
stockholder sold an additional 2,600,000 shares in the offering.
The Company received no proceeds from the shares sold by the
selling stockholder. Issuance costs related to the stock
offering approximated $0.7&nbsp;million. These costs included
approximately $0.4&nbsp;million of legal, accounting and
printing fees charged to additional paid in capital for the
primary offering and approximately $0.3&nbsp;million of costs
charged to operating expense for the secondary offering.
Proceeds from the primary offering were used to retire
approximately $71.7&nbsp;million of Auto&#146;s outstanding 11%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006. The early extinguishment of
this debt resulted in an extraordinary loss of approximately
$3.7&nbsp;million, net of approximately $2.3&nbsp;million of
income tax benefit, primarily as a result of the payment of an
early redemption premium and the write off of deferred debt
issuance costs. The components of this transaction are as

Pronouncements</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (the &#147;FASB&#148;) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;141 (SFAS&nbsp;141),
&#147;Business Combinations&#148;, and No.&nbsp;142 (SFAS 142),
&#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.&#148; SFAS 141
supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (&#147;APB&#148;)
No.&nbsp;16, &#147;Business Combinations.&#148; The provisions
of SFAS&nbsp;141: (1)&nbsp;require that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after
June&nbsp;30, 2001; (2)&nbsp;provide specific criteria for the
initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets apart
from goodwill; and (3)&nbsp;generally require that unamortized
negative goodwill be written off immediately as an extraordinary
gain instead of being deferred and amortized. SFAS&nbsp;141 also
requires that upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company reclassify
the carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of
goodwill, based on certain criteria. SFAS&nbsp;142 supersedes
APB&nbsp;17, Intangible Assets, and is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001. SFAS&nbsp;142
primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible
assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions
of SFAS&nbsp;142: (1)&nbsp;prohibit the amortization of goodwill
and indefinite-lived intangible assets; (2)&nbsp;require that
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles assets be tested
annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain
events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill
and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired);
(3)&nbsp;require that reporting units be identified for the
purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill;
and (4)&nbsp;remove the forty-year limitation on the
amortization period of intangible assets that have finite lives.

<FONT size="2">SFAS&nbsp;142 requires that goodwill be tested
annually for impairment using a two-step process. The first step
is to identify a potential impairment and, in transition, this
step must be measured as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
However, a company has six months from the date of adoption to
complete the first step. The second step of the goodwill
impairment test measures the amount of the impairment loss
(measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption), if any,
and must be completed by the end of the fiscal year. Intangible

SFAS&nbsp;141 and 142 on February&nbsp;4, 2002. The Company
completed the transitional impairment test during the second
quarter of 2002 and determined that there was no impairment of
existing goodwill. The remaining balance of goodwill is
$127.1&nbsp;million. In accordance with SFAS&nbsp;142, the
Company ceased amortization of its remaining goodwill.

include lease rental and termination costs and certain employee
severance costs that are associated with a restructuring,
discontinued operation, store closing, or other exit or disposal
activity. SFAS No.&nbsp;146 is to be applied prospectively to
exit or disposal activities initiated after December&nbsp;31,

<!-- link2 "Note 5 -- Interest Rate Swap" -->
<DIV align="left"><A NAME="011"></A></DIV>

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Note&nbsp;5&nbsp;&#151; Interest Rate
Swap</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">During February 2002, the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement to convert the interest rate
payment obligation on $100.0&nbsp;million of its 12% Senior
Notes to a floating rate, set quarterly, equal to the
3&nbsp;month LIBOR rate plus 760 basis points. At the time the
agreement commenced, the Company&#146;s fixed rate debt was
approximately 66% of its outstanding debt. The Company&#146;s
fixed rate debt, on average, carries higher interest rates than
its variable rate debt. The interest rate swap is intended to
provide a better balance of fixed and variable rate debt
instruments and to hedge the fair value of these notes against
potential movements in market interest rates. For accounting
purposes, the interest rate swap is designated and qualifies as
a fair value hedge of a portion of the Company&#146;s fixed rate
debt instruments. As the critical terms of the swap match those
of the underlying hedged debt, the change in fair value of the
swap is perfectly offset by changes in fair value of the debt.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">At August&nbsp;4, 2002, the fair value of the
interest rate swap approximated $2.9&nbsp;million. The
differential to be paid or received under this agreement is
accrued consistently with the terms of the agreement and is
recognized in interest expense over the term of the related
debt. The related amounts payable to or receivable from counter
parties are included in other liabilities or assets. Cash flows
related to the interest rate swap agreement are classified as
operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended
August&nbsp;4, 2002, the Company reduced interest expense by
approximately $0.6&nbsp;million and $1.1&nbsp;million
respectively, as a result of the interest rate swap. There were
no interest rate swaps in place in the comparable period last
year.

<FONT size="2">The Company was served on March&nbsp;8, 2000 with
a complaint filed in Federal Court in the Eastern District of
New York by the Coalition for a Level Playing Field, O.K. and,
based on the current amended complaint, 255 individual auto

<P align="left">
<B><FONT size="2">Note 7&nbsp;&#151; Store Closing
Costs</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On an on-going basis, store locations are
reviewed and analyzed based on several factors including market
saturation, store profitability, and store size and format. In
addition, the Company analyzes sales trends and geographical and
competitive factors to determine the viability and future
profitability of its store locations. If a store location does
not meet the Company&#146;s required projections, it is
identified for closure. As a result of the Company&#146;s
acquisitions over the last several years, the Company has closed
numerous locations as a result of store overlap with previously
existing store locations. In these situations, the Company
negotiates with the landlord to attempt to cancel the lease or
the Company attempts to sublease the closed store to a third
party to reduce the Company&#146;s future exposure.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">The Company provides an allowance for estimated
costs to be incurred in connection with store closures. The
allowance for store closing costs primarily consists of three
components: (1)&nbsp;future rents to be paid over the remaining
terms of the lease agreements for the stores (net of estimated
probable sublease recoveries); (2)&nbsp;lease commissions
associated with the anticipated store subleases; and
(3)&nbsp;occupancy expenses associated with the closed store
vacancy periods. Such costs are recognized when a store is
specifically identified, costs can be estimated and closure is
planned to be completed within the next twelve months. No
provision is made for employee termination costs. For stores to
be relocated, such costs are recognized when an agreement for
the new location has been reached with a landlord and site plans
meet preliminary municipal approvals. During the period that
they remain open for business, the rent and other operating
expenses for the stores to be closed continue to be reflected in
normal operating expenses. The actual costs of relocating a
store, such as transporting of inventories, are considered a
normal operating expense and are not included in the store
closing reserve.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As of August&nbsp;4, 2002, the Company had a
total of 239 store locations included in the allowance for store
closing costs. Of this total, 52 locations were vacant, 176
locations were subleased and 11 locations were identified for
closure but remained open. In addition to these store locations,
we had 66 service centers of which 10 were vacant and 56 were
subleased. During the second half of fiscal 2002, the Company
expects cash outflows related to these locations of
approximately $2.5&nbsp;million for rent on vacant locations,
related occupancy expenses, leasing commissions and net
shortfalls on cash rents from subleased locations.

<FONT size="2">During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the
Company sold 13&nbsp;stores in Texas. The stores were sold, as
they are geographically remote from the Company&#146;s other
operations. This transaction resulted in net cash proceeds of
approximately $4.2&nbsp;million and a loss on sale of
approximately $0.8&nbsp;million.

<FONT size="2">Our business is somewhat seasonal in nature, with
the highest sales occurring in the months of June through
October (overlapping our second and third fiscal quarters). Our
business is, in addition, affected by weather conditions. While
unusually severe or inclement weather tends to reduce sales, as
our customers tend to defer elective maintenance during such
periods, extremely hot and cold temperatures tend to enhance
sales by causing auto parts to fail and sales of seasonal
products to increase.

<FONT size="2">Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended
August&nbsp;4, 2002 (the &#147;second quarter of fiscal
2002&#148;) increased 4.3% to $398.3&nbsp;million from sales of
$381.7&nbsp;million in the thirteen weeks ended August&nbsp;5,
2001 (the &#147;second quarter of fiscal 2001&#148;). Comparable
store sales increased by 7%. During the second quarter of fiscal
2002, we opened 4&nbsp;stores, relocated 1&nbsp;store, closed
1&nbsp;store in addition to the store closed due to relocation
and sold 13&nbsp;stores in west Texas. At August&nbsp;4, 2002,
we had 1,114 stores in operation, compared to 1,154 at the end
of the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Sales increased during the
quarter despite our lower store count due to our improved
inventory in-stock position and our new merchandise offerings.

<FONT size="2">Gross profit was $182.1&nbsp;million, or 45.7% of
net sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to
$147.1&nbsp;million, or 38.5% of net sales, for the second
quarter of fiscal 2001. Gross profit in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 was negatively impacted by charges of approximately
$23.1&nbsp;million for our Profitability Enhancement Program
(&#147;PEP&#148;). In addition, gross profit margin in the
second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased, reflecting our improved
inventory in-stock position and the realization of more cash
discounts and vendor allowances as a result of our increased
liquidity.

<FONT size="2">Operating profit for the second quarter of fiscal
2002 totaled $28.2 million, or 7.1% of net sales, compared to an
operating loss of $24.0&nbsp;million, or 6.3% of net sales, for
the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Operating profit for the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 was negatively impacted by an
additional $21.5&nbsp;million of costs and charges incurred
largely in connection with our PEP, as well as $2.0&nbsp;million
of charges incurred in connection with certain legal
settlements. Operating profit for the second quarter of fiscal
2002 was negatively impacted by a $0.8&nbsp;million loss on the
sale of 13 west Texas stores and $0.3&nbsp;million of costs
associated with our July 2002 stock offering. Operating profit
for the second quarter of fiscal 2002 increased primarily as a
result of the higher gross profit that was realized plus the
absence of PEP costs and charges.

<FONT size="2">Interest expense was $16.2&nbsp;million for the
second quarter of fiscal 2002 compared to $14.7&nbsp;million in
the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The increased interest
expense is a result of higher amortization of fees associated
with the recent refinancing ($0.8&nbsp;million) and more
high-yield debt outstanding when compared to the second quarter
of fiscal 2001. Because we used equity proceeds to retire debt
in the second quarter, we expect interest expense to decrease
significantly during the remainder of fiscal 2002. This is more
fully explained under the section titled Liquidity and Capital
Resources.

<FONT size="2">Income tax expense for the second quarter of
fiscal 2002 was $4.1&nbsp;million, compared to an income tax
benefit of $14.8&nbsp;million in the second quarter of fiscal
2001. The income tax benefit in the second quarter of fiscal
2001 was primarily the result of net losses from the previously
described PEP charges that were taken during the quarter. Our
effective tax rate during the second quarter of 2002 was
approximately 34.7% and benefited from the realization of
certain tax credits and the reversal of reserves no longer
considered necessary.

<FONT size="2">Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2002
was $4.1&nbsp;million, or $0.10 per diluted common share, on a
weighted average share base of 40.1&nbsp;million shares,
compared to a net loss of $23.8&nbsp;million, or $(0.86) per
diluted common share, on a weighted average share base of
27.8&nbsp;million shares in the second quarter of fiscal 2001.
The substantial increase in the weighted average number of fully
diluted outstanding common shares is the result of our recent
stock offering that included approximately 6.9&nbsp;million
shares and the conversion in May 2002 of $50.0&nbsp;million of
convertible subordinated debentures into approximately
5.8&nbsp;million shares of common stock. In addition to the
items discussed above, the second quarter of fiscal 2002 was
negatively impacted by an extraordinary loss of
$3.7&nbsp;million, net of an income tax benefit of
$2.3&nbsp;million. The extraordinary loss was due to the costs
associated with the early retirement of approximately
$71.7&nbsp;million of Auto&#146;s 11% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2006.

increased 7% for the first half of fiscal 2002. Sales increased
during the first half of fiscal 2002, despite our lower store

merchandise offerings and our increased promotional activities,
which occurred primarily in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.

$315.7&nbsp;million or 42.8% of net sales in the first half of
2001. Gross profit in the fiscal 2001 period was reduced by
approximately $23.1&nbsp;million of charges incurred in
connection with our PEP. On a comparable basis and excluding the
effect in 2001 of the PEP charges, as a percentage of sales,
gross profit for the first half of fiscal 2001 was 45.9%, which
exceeded the rate of gross profit earned in the first half of
fiscal 2002. This lower gross profit percentage in fiscal 2002
was expected because during the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we
took several steps to encourage former and existing customers to
return to our stores and to attract new customers who may have
never previously shopped in one of our stores. These initiatives
included: (1)&nbsp;an increased emphasis on promotional
activities and promotional pricing to stimulate customer
awareness; (2)&nbsp;the commencement of a new merchandising
program that features garage maintenance and organizational
products, items that we had never previously stocked; and
(3)&nbsp;a replenishment of inventory to return our stores to
more normal levels of product availability. While these steps
were successful in increasing customer counts, average sale
amount and total sales levels, they expectedly produced lower
gross profit margins. We reduced our promotional activity in

approximately $23.1&nbsp;million of PEP charges that reduced
gross profit and an additional $21.5&nbsp;million of other PEP
costs and charges. There was also a charge in the first half of
fiscal 2001 of $2.0&nbsp;million for certain legal settlements.
Operating profit for the first half of fiscal 2002 was
negatively impacted by a $0.8&nbsp;million loss on the sale of
13 west Texas stores and $0.3&nbsp;million of costs associated
with our July 2002 stock offering. In addition to the items
mentioned above, operating profit has increased primarily as a
result of cost reductions associated with the PEP and the
leveraging of fixed administrative costs over rising comparable
store sales.

<FONT size="2">Interest expense for the first half of 2002
increased to $33.9&nbsp;million from $31.4&nbsp;million in the

tax benefit in the 2001 period was due to our net loss. The
income tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2002 was 35.8%,

capital of approximately $521.4&nbsp;million, an increase of
$22.5&nbsp;million, or 4.5%, compared to February&nbsp;3, 2002.
Inventory levels increased to $652.8&nbsp;million at the end of
the first half of fiscal 2002 from $619.6&nbsp;million at the
end of fiscal 2001. The increase in working capital primarily
relates to the $33.2&nbsp;million increase in inventories
consistent with our return to a more normal inventory in-stock
position and the acquisition of new product types in support of
the new merchandise programs offset by an increase in accounts
payable of $16.3&nbsp;million in connection with the related
inventory purchases and extended payment terms.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">During the first half of fiscal 2002, net cash
provided by operating activities was $6.0&nbsp;million compared
to $27.2&nbsp;million of cash provided by operating activities
during the first half of fiscal 2001. The largest components of
the change in cash flow from operations relate to: (1)&nbsp;an
increase in payments for accounts payable made during the fiscal
2002 period as a result of our improved liquidity arising from
our Refinancing, where $16.3 million of cash was provided
compared to $26.0&nbsp;million provided during the comparable
2001 period; (2)&nbsp;an increase in inventory where
$36.9&nbsp;million was used to purchase inventory in the first
half of fiscal 2002 compared to $21.4&nbsp;million used to
purchase inventory during the comparable 2001 period; and
(3)&nbsp;an increase in payments for accrued expenses of
$17.7&nbsp;million. Now that inventory and accounts payable
levels have stabilized, we expect higher cash flows from
operating activities for the remainder of the fiscal year.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Net cash provided by investing activities totaled
$0.8&nbsp;million for the first half of fiscal 2002, compared to
$4.9&nbsp;million used in investing activities during the
comparable 2001 period. The increase in cash provided by
investing activities during fiscal 2002 was the result of
(1)&nbsp;$4.2&nbsp;million in proceeds from the sale of
13&nbsp;stores in west Texas in the first half of fiscal 2002
(no similar sales occurred in the comparable 2001 period); and
(2)&nbsp;$4.2&nbsp;million less in capital expenditures in the
first half of fiscal 2002 than in the comparable 2001 period.
These sources of cash were offset in part by $3.1&nbsp;million
less in proceeds from assets held for sale in the 2002 fiscal
period.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Net cash used in financing activities totaled
$6.5&nbsp;million for fiscal 2002 compared to $19.3&nbsp;million
in fiscal 2001. This decrease relates primarily to lower
payments on our senior credit facility, where $7.0&nbsp;million
in net payments were made during fiscal 2002 compared to
$12.3&nbsp;million in net payments made during fiscal 2001.

<B><FONT size="2">Store Closures</FONT></B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">On an on-going basis, store locations are
reviewed and analyzed based on several factors including market
saturation, store profitability, and store size and format. In
addition, we analyze sales trends and geographical and
competitive factors to determine the viability and future
profitability of our store locations. If a store location does
not meet our required projections, it is identified for closure.
As a result of our acquisitions over the last several years, we
have closed numerous locations due to store overlap with
previously existing store locations. In these situations, we
negotiate with the landlord to attempt to cancel the lease or we
attempt to sublease the store to a third party to reduce our
future exposure.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We provide an allowance for estimated costs to be
incurred in connection with store closures. The allowance for
store closing costs primarily consists of three components:
(1)&nbsp;future rents to be paid over the remaining terms of the
lease agreements for the stores (net of estimated probable
sublease recoveries); (2)&nbsp;lease commissions associated with
the anticipated store subleases; and (3)&nbsp;occupancy expenses

<FONT size="2">with the closed store vacancy periods. Such costs
are recognized when a store is specifically identified, costs
can be estimated and closure is planned to be completed within
the next twelve months. No provision is made for employee
termination costs. For stores to be relocated, such costs are
recognized when an agreement for the new location has been
reached with a landlord and site plans meet preliminary
municipal approvals. During the period that they remain open for
business, the rent and other operating expenses for the stores
to be closed continue to be reflected in our normal operating
expenses. The actual costs of relocating a store, such as
transporting of inventories, are considered a normal operating
expense and are not included in the store closing reserve.
</FONT>
</DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As of August&nbsp;4, 2002, we had a total of
239&nbsp;store locations included in the allowance for store
closing costs. Of this total, 52&nbsp;locations were vacant,
176&nbsp;locations were subleased and 11&nbsp;locations were
identified for closure but remained open. In addition to these
store locations, we had 66&nbsp;service centers of which 10 were
vacant and 56 were subleased. During the second half of fiscal
2002, we expect cash outflows related to these locations of
approximately $2.5&nbsp;million for rent on vacant locations,
related occupancy expenses, leasing commissions and net
shortfalls on cash rents from subleased locations.

<FONT size="2">During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, we sold
13&nbsp;stores in Texas. The stores were sold, as they are
geographically remote from the Company&#146;s other operations.
This transaction resulted in net cash proceeds of approximately
$4.2&nbsp;million and a loss on sale of approximately
$0.8&nbsp;million.

<FONT size="2">Our business is somewhat seasonal in nature, with
the highest sales occurring in the months of June through
October (overlapping our second and third fiscal quarters). In
addition, our business is affected by weather conditions. While
unusually severe or inclement weather tends to reduce sales, as
our customers are more likely to defer elective maintenance
during such periods, extremely hot and cold temperatures tend to
enhance sales by causing auto parts to fail and sales of
seasonal products to increase.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">As a result of our Refinancing during fiscal
2001, we were able to improve relationships with our vendors and
eliminate many out-of-stock conditions that we believe had
resulted in dissatisfaction amongst our customers and decreased
sales in late fiscal 2001. Since the completion of our
Refinancing, our same-store sales increases have been in the
mid-single digits. In addition, our same store retail customer
counts have become positive. This improved sales performance
reflects our improved inventory position and the generally
favorable dynamics in the U.S. automotive aftermarket sector.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">Considering our improved financial position, we
expect net sales for the remainder of fiscal 2002 to increase by
approximately 4% to 6% on a same-store basis. However, any
unusual weather conditions, competitive pressures, or other
adverse changes to our business or the economy in general could
materially affect our financial position and results of
operations.

covenants and restrictions on actions by us and our subsidiaries
including, without limitation, restrictions on indebtedness,
liens, guarantee obligations, mergers, asset dispositions not in
the ordinary course of business, investments, loans, advances
and acquisitions, dividends and other restricted junior
payments, transactions with affiliates, change in business
conducted, and certain prepayments and amendments of
subordinated indebtedness. Our revolving credit facility
requires that we meet certain financial covenants, ratios and
tests, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest
coverage ratio. The Leverage Ratio is &#147;consolidated total
funded debt&#148;, as defined in the debt agreement, divided by
&#147;consolidated EBITDA&#148; as defined in the debt
agreement. The Interest Coverage Ratio is &#147;consolidated
EBITDA&#148;, as defined in the debt agreement, divided by
&#147;cash interest expense&#148;, as defined in the debt
agreement. At August&nbsp;4, 2002 our Leverage Ratio was 4.05 to
1.00; and our Interest Coverage Ratio was 2.39 to 1.00 both of
which were in compliance with the related covenants. The
following table shows the ratios that we need to meet through
the life of our debt agreement.

<FONT size="2">A breach of the covenants, ratios, or
restrictions contained in our senior credit facility could
result in an event of default thereunder. Upon the occurrence of
such an event of default, the lenders under our new senior
credit facility could elect to declare all amounts outstanding
under the new senior credit facility, together with accrued
interest, to be immediately due and payable. If we were unable
to repay those amounts, the lenders could proceed against the
collateral granted to them to secure the indebtedness. If the
lenders under the new senior credit facility accelerate the
payment of the indebtedness, we cannot be assured that our
assets would be sufficient to repay in full that indebtedness,
which is secured by substantially all of our assets.

<FONT size="2">We are highly leveraged. The degree to which we
are leveraged could have important consequences on our ability
to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes. A
substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be
dedicated to the payment of interest on our indebtedness,
thereby reducing the funds available for other purposes. We are
substantially more leveraged than some of our competitors, which
might place us at a competitive disadvantage to those
competitors that have lower debt service obligations and
significantly greater operating and financial flexibility than
we do. We may not be able to adjust rapidly to changing market
conditions and we may be more vulnerable in the event of a
downturn in general economic conditions or in our business.

<FONT size="2">Financial market risks relating to our operations
result primarily from changes in interest rates. Interest earned
on our cash equivalents as well as interest paid on our variable
rate debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Our
variable rate debt relates to borrowings under our senior credit
facility, which is primarily affected by movements in the LIBOR
rate. During February 2002, we entered into an interest rate
swap agreement which converted the interest payment obligation
on $100.0&nbsp;million of our 12% Senior Notes to a floating
rate, set quarterly, equal to the 3&nbsp;month LIBOR rate plus
760 basis points.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">At August&nbsp;4, 2002, including the
$100.0&nbsp;million of notes that are part of the interest rate
swap agreement, 59% of our outstanding debt was at variable
interest rates and 41% of our outstanding debt was at fixed
interest rates. With $320.0&nbsp;million in variable rate debt
outstanding, a 1% change in the LIBOR rate to which this
variable rate debt is tied would result in a $3.2&nbsp;million
change in our annual interest expense. This estimate assumes
that our debt balance remains constant for an annual period and
the interest rate change occurs at the beginning of the period.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (the &#147;FASB&#148;) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;141 (SFAS&nbsp;141),
&#147;Business Combinations&#148;, and No.&nbsp;142
(SFAS&nbsp;142), &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.&#148; SFAS&nbsp;141 supersedes Accounting Principles
Board Opinion (&#147;APB&#148;) No.&nbsp;16, &#147;Business
Combinations.&#148; The provisions of SFAS&nbsp;141:
(1)&nbsp;require that the purchase method of accounting be used
for all business combinations initiated after June&nbsp;30,
2001; (2)&nbsp;provide specific criteria for the initial
recognition and measurement of intangible assets apart from
goodwill; and (3)&nbsp;generally require that unamortized
negative goodwill be written off immediately as an extraordinary
gain instead of being deferred and amortized. SFAS&nbsp;141 also
requires that upon adoption of SFAS&nbsp;142 we reclassify the
carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of
goodwill, based on certain criteria. SFAS&nbsp;142 supersedes
APB 17, Intangible Assets, and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2001. SFAS&nbsp;142 primarily
addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets
subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions of
SFAS&nbsp;142: (1)&nbsp;prohibit the amortization of goodwill
and indefinite-lived intangible assets; (2)&nbsp;require that
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles assets be tested
annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain
events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill
and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired);
(3)&nbsp;require that reporting units be identified for the
purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill;
and (4)&nbsp;remove the forty-year limitation on the
amortization period of intangible assets that have finite lives.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">SFAS&nbsp;142 requires that goodwill be tested
annually for impairment using a two-step process. The first step
is to identify a potential impairment and, in transition, this
step must be measured as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
However, a company has six months from the date of adoption to
complete the first step. The second step of the goodwill
impairment test measures the amount of the impairment loss
(measured as of the beginning of the year of adoption), if any,
and must be completed by the end of our fiscal year. Intangible
assets deemed to have an indefinite life will be tested for
impairment using a one-step process, which compares the fair
value to the carrying amount of the asset as of the beginning of
the fiscal year.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">We adopted the provisions of SFAS&nbsp;142 on
February&nbsp;4, 2002. We completed the transitional impairment
test during the second quarter of 2002 and determined that there
was no impairment of existing goodwill. The remaining balance of
goodwill is $127.1&nbsp;million. In accordance with
SFAS&nbsp;142, we ceased amortization of this remaining goodwill.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">SFAS&nbsp;142 requires the presentation of net
income and related earnings per share data adjusted for the
effect of goodwill amortization. The following table provides
pro forma net income and earnings per share data for the
thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August&nbsp;4, 2002 and
August&nbsp;5, 2001, to illustrate the impact of goodwill
amortization on the results of the prior year period ($ in
thousands except per share amounts).

<FONT size="2">In June 2001, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, &#147;Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations.&#148; SFAS No.&nbsp;143 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. This statement applies to all entities
that have legal obligations associated with the retirement of
long-lived assets that result from the acquisition,
construction, development or normal use of the asset.
SFAS&nbsp;143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June&nbsp;15, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;143 to have a significant impact on our financial
statements.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In October 2001, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144, &#147;Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.&#148; SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144
replaces certain previously issued accounting guidance, develops
a single accounting model for long-lived assets, and broadens
the framework previously established for assets to be disposed
of by sale (whether previously held or newly acquired). We
adopted SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144 as of the beginning of fiscal
2002. The adoption of this standard did not have a material
effect on our financial statements.
</FONT>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<FONT size="2">In April 2002, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;145, &#147;Rescission of FASB Statement
No.&nbsp;4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;13,
and Technical Corrections.&#148; SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;145 updates,
clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements and
addresses the reporting of debt extinguishments and accounting
for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that
are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. We plan to adopt the
provisions of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;145 by February&nbsp;3, 2003.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, we recorded an
extraordinary loss of $3.7&nbsp;million (net of income tax
benefit) relating to the early retirement of debt.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;145 will require that this amount be
reclassified to operations.

<FONT size="2">In July 2002, the FASB issued
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;146, &#147;Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities.&#148; SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;146
nullifies EITF Issue No.&nbsp;94-3, &#147;Liability Recognition
for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to
Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring).&#148; SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;146 requires companies
to recognize the present value of costs associated with exit or
disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the
date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of
costs covered by the standard include lease rental and
termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are
associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, store
closing, or other exit or disposal activity.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or
disposal activities initiated after December&nbsp;31, 2002, with
early implementation encouraged. We are currently analyzing the
impact of this pronouncement on our financial statements;
however, adoption of the pronouncement may impact the timing of
recognition of closed store charges.

<FONT size="2">We were served on March&nbsp;8, 2000 with a
complaint filed in Federal Court in the Eastern District of New
York by the Coalition for a Level Playing Field, O.K. and, based
on the current amended complaint, 255 individual auto parts
dealers. The complaint alleges that we and seven other auto
parts dealers (AutoZone, Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Advance
Stores Company, Inc., Discount Auto, Inc., The Pep
Boys&nbsp;&#151; Manny, Moe and Jack, Inc., O&#146;Reilly
Automotive, Inc., and Keystone Automotive Operations, Inc.)
violated the Robinson-Patman Act. Only 15 of the individual
plaintiffs asserted claims against us. The complaint, as
amended, alleges that we and other defendants knowingly either
induced or received discriminatory prices from large suppliers,
allegedly in violation of Section&nbsp;2(a) and 2(f) of the
Robinson-Patman Act, as well as received compensation from large
suppliers for services not performed for those suppliers,
allegedly in violation of Section&nbsp;2(c) of the
Robinson-Patman Act.. In May 2002, we reached a settlement with
all of the plaintiffs that provides for the payment of nominal
consideration by us. As the first step in the settlement, we and
the attorneys for the plaintiffs have filed with the Court a
Stipulation and Order for the dismissal with prejudice of all
claims by all plaintiffs against us. The Court has executed this
Stipulation and Order.

in other litigation incidental to the conduct of our business.
The damages claimed in some of this litigation are substantial.
Although the amount of liability that may result from these
matters cannot be ascertained, we do not currently believe that,
in the aggregate, they will result in liabilities material to
our consolidated financial position, results of operations or

                                                            May 14, 2002

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Martin Fraser (the "Payor"), hereby
promises to pay to the order of CSK AUTO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, or
its successor or assign (the "Holder"), at the office of Holder at 645 E.
Missouri Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona, Attn.: Chief Executive Officer, on the
earlier of (i) December 31, 2003 (the "Maturity Date"), (ii) the last day of the
first "window period" to occur after the date hereof in which Payor, as an
executive of Holder, has the right to sell common stock of Holder pursuant to
the Statement of Policy Concerning the Disclosure of Confidential Information
and Insider Trading (and only to the extent that the Board of Directors of
Holder does not exercise its right to close the window period prior to its
commencement), and (iii) the date to which the maturity of this Note is
accelerated as provided below, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($125,000), together with any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds, and to pay interest from the date hereof on the principal
amount hereof from time to time outstanding, in like funds, at said office. From
the date hereof interest (i) shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount
hereof at a rate which shall be calculated for each quarter or part thereof of

Inc. under the revolving portion of its senior credit facility during such

the end of each such fiscal quarter.

      The Payor hereby promises to pay interest, on demand, on any overdue
principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue interest (other
than interest added to and constituting a part of the principal hereof in
accordance with the terms hereof), and on any overdue amount under any
instrument now or hereafter evidencing or securing the indebtedness evidenced
hereby, at a rate equal to the rate of interest payable by Holder from time to
time under its senior credit facility, calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over 365, from the date such principal or interest was
due to the date of payment.

      The Payor shall have the right at any time and from time to time on any
business day to prepay the principal amount of this Note, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium,
upon at least three business days' prior written notice to the Holder hereof,
such notice to specify the prepayment date and the principal amount hereof to be
prepaid. In the event the Payor decides not to so prepay this Note in accordance
with any such notice delivered to the Holder hereof, the Payor shall so notify
the Holder hereof, not less than two business days before such prepayment would
otherwise have been made.

      This Promissory Note is secured by that certain Stock Pledge Agreement,
dated as of even date herewith, between the Holder and the Payor (the "Stock
Pledge Agreement").

forthwith due and payable both as to principal and interest, without
presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Payor (to the extent permitted by law), anything

accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall automatically become due and payable
without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which

      In addition, in the event that any cash dividend or distribution is paid

mandatory prepayment with respect to this Note equal to the amount of such
dividend or distribution, which shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid
interest under this Note, then to principal.

      If any payment under this Note is not made when due, whether at maturity
or by acceleration, Payor shall pay all costs of collection whether or not suit
is filed hereon, on the Stock Pledge Agreement or otherwise, including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and all expenses incurred in connection
with the protection or realization of any collateral.

      Payor hereby certifies and declares that all acts, conditions and things
required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation
and issuance of this Note, and to constitute this Note the legal, valid and
binding obligation of Payor, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof,
have been done and performed and happened in due and strict compliance with all
applicable laws.

      The Payor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) diligence,
presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind whatsoever except as
expressly required herein. The nonexercise by the Holder of any of its rights
hereunder or under the Stock Pledge Agreement in any particular instance shall
not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any subsequent instance. The Holder
shall at all times have the right to proceed against any portion of the security
held herefor in such order and in such manner as the Holder may select, without
waiving any rights with respect to any other security. No delay or omission on
the part of the Holder in exercising any right hereunder or under the Stock
Pledge Agreement or other agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or
of any other right under this Note.

      All prepayment of the principal hereof and interest hereon and the
respective dates thereof shall be endorsed by the Holder hereof on the schedule
attached here to and made a part hereof, or on a continuation thereof which
shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof;


                                       3
<PAGE>
provided, however, that the failure of the Holder hereof to make such a notation
or any error in such a notation shall not affect the obligations of the Payor
under this Note.

      This Note may be assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred
by the Holder hereof.

      Any notice to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been given (i) when presented personally or (ii) three business days
after being deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the United States
Postal Service, postage prepaid, registered or certified, return receipt
requested addressed to the respective party at the address specified herein or
such other address as any party may from time to time designate by written
notice to the other as herein required.

      The Payor irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and State
courts sitting in Phoenix, Arizona, for the purposes of any suit, action or
other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note. Payor expressly waives
any objection which he may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue or
to the jurisdiction of any such suit, action or proceedings.

      All agreements between Payor and the Holder hereof are expressly limited
so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by. reason of advancement
of the proceeds of the loan evidenced hereby, acceleration of maturity of the
unpaid principal balance hereof, or otherwise, shall the interest contracted
for, charged or received by the Holder exceed the maximum amount permissible
under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would
otherwise be payable to the Holder hereof in excess of the maximum lawful
amount, then ipso facto, the interest payable to the Holder shall be reduced to
the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, and the amount of interest
for any subsequent period, to the extent less than that permitted by applicable
law, shall to that extent be increased by the amount of such reduction. If from
any circumstance the Holder hereof shall ever receive anything of value deemed
interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount
equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid
principal balance due hereunder and not to the payment of interest, or if such
excessive interest exceeds the unpaid principal balance due hereunder, such
excess shall be refunded to Payor. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the
Holder hereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated or spread throughout the full period until payment in full
of the principal balance due hereunder (including the period of any renewal or
extension) so that interest thereon for such period shall not exceed the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law. The provisions of this paragraph shall
control all agreements between the Payor and the Holder hereof.

      Any provision of this Note that is declared invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect in any way the remaining
provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or render that or any other provision of
this Note invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.

      This Note shall be governed and construed, and all rights and obligation
hereunder shall be determined, in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware.

<PAGE>
         (b) Pledgor covenants that:

                  (i) except for the Security Interest granted hereby and the
         security interests permitted under or otherwise contemplated hereby
         ("Permitted Encumbrances"), Pledgor will not create, assume, incur or
         permit to exist or to be created, assumed or incurred, directly, or
         indirectly, any lien of any kind on, or any repurchase agreement with
         respect to, the Pledged Collateral, and will defend the Pledged
         Collateral against, and take such action as is necessary to remove, any
         such lien, and will defend the Security Interest against the claims and
         demands of all persons; and

                  (ii) Pledgor shall advise the Secured Party promptly, in
         reasonable detail, of any lien or claim made or asserted against any of
         the Pledged Collateral; and of the occurrence of any other event which
         would have a material adverse effect on the enforceability of the
         Security Interest created hereunder.

         Section 6. Further Assurances. Pledgor agrees that at any time and from
time to time, at the expense of Pledgor, Pledgor will promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that
the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the
Security Interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable the
Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Pledged Collateral.

         Section 7. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

         (a) So long as no Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred and be
continuing:

                  (i) Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting
         and other consensual rights (if any) pertaining to the Pledged
         Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the
         terms of this Agreement; and

                  (ii) except as otherwise provided in Sections 4(b) and 7(c)
         hereof, Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends,
         cash and other property from time to time paid, payable or otherwise
         distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral.

         (b) Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as Pledgor's
proxyholder with respect to the Pledged Shares and any other voting securities
forming a part of the Pledged Collateral with full power and authority to vote
such Pledged Shares and other voting securities and to otherwise act with
respect to such Pledged Shares or other voting securities on behalf of such
Pledgor, provided that this proxy shall only be operative upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default continues. Such proxy
shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain in
existence. Pledgor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to the Secured Party all proxies and other instruments as the Secured
Party may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to
exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant
to this Section 7(b); and

         (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default hereunder, all rights of the Pledgor to receive and retain dividends,
cash and other property, which they would otherwise be authorized to receive and
retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii), shall


                                       3
<PAGE>
cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Secured Party, who
shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral
such dividends, cash and other property. All cash and other property received by
Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 7(c) shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Secured Party, shall be segregated from other
property or funds of Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Secured
Party as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
transfer documents or endorsements).

         Section 8. Restrictions on Transfer; Dispositions and Release of
Collateral. Pledgor covenants that Pledgor shall not enter into or perform any
agreement to sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
the Pledged Collateral unless the Security Interest in such Pledged Collateral
shall have been released in accordance with the provisions of Section 17 hereof.

         Section 9. Reasonable Care. The Secured Party shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged
Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Secured Party accords its own property, it
being understood that the Secured Party shall have no responsibility for (a)
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether
or not the Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters,
unless reasonably requested in writing to do so by Pledgor, or (b) taking any
necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care
set forth above to maintain possession of the Pledged Collateral) to preserve
rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

         Section 10. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Pledgor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Secured Party Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in Pledgor's name or otherwise,
if Secured Party elects, upon an Event of Default, to take any action and to
execute any instrument which the Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to
Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in
respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge
for the same, when and to the extent permitted by this Agreement.

         Section 11. Secured Party May Perform. Upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder (including an Event of Default
resulting from a failure to perform any agreement contained herein), if Pledgor
fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Secured Party may itself
perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the
Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor.

         Section 12. Events of Default; Remedies.

         (a) The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an
event of default ("Event of Default") hereunder:

                  (i) Any Event of Default (as defined in the Note) shall have
         occurred, which Event of Default shall not be waived or, if capable of
         being cured, shall not be cured within the respective periods provided
         in such Note;

                  (ii) Pledgor fails, breaches or defaults in the payment or
         performance of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions
         contained in this Agreement or specified in the Plan; or

                  (iii) Any statement, representation or warranty made or
         furnished by Pledgor in connection with this Agreement or any other
         writing delivered to the Secured Party in connection with this

                  (i) The Secured Party may exercise (in compliance with all
         applicable securities laws) in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in
         addition to other rights, powers and remedies provided for herein or
         otherwise available to it, all the rights, powers and remedies of a
         secured party after default under the Uniform Commercial Code in force
         and effect in each state in which such rights, powers and remedies are
         asserted, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative
         and not exclusive, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

                  (ii) The Secured Party may also, without notice except as
         specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one
         or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, over the
         counter or at any of the Secured Party's offices or elsewhere, for
         cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and
         upon such other terms as may be commercially reasonable or otherwise in
         such manner as necessary to comply with applicable federal and state
         securities laws. Pledgor agrees that the Secured Party shall not be
         required to register or qualify any of the Pledged Collateral under
         applicable state or federal securities laws in connection with any such
         sale if the sale is effected in a manner that complies with all
         applicable federal and state securities laws. The Secured Party shall
         be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to
         restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will
         represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for
         their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
         distribution thereof. Upon consummation of any such sale the Secured
         Party shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the
         purchaser or purchasers at any such sale, and such purchasers shall
         hold, the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the
         part of the Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted
         by law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which he now has or
         may at any time in the future have under applicable law now existing or
         hereafter enacted.

                  (iii) The Secured Party shall give the Pledgor at least ten
         (10) days', (or such longer period as shall be specified by applicable
         law) notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
         which any private sale is to be made, which Pledgor agrees shall
         constitute commercially reasonable notification. At any such public
         sale and (to the


                                       5
<PAGE>
         extent permitted by law) at any such private sale, the Secured Party
         may bid, in whole or in part, in the form of cancellation of Secured
         Obligations, and the Secured Party may purchase the whole or any part
         of the Pledged Collateral. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to
         make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
         been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale
         from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor,
         and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
         place to which it was so adjourned.

                  (iv) If a sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is
         made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold
         may be retained by the Secured Party until the sale price is paid by
         the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Secured Party shall not
         incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail
         to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of
         any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like
         notice. Pledgor agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable
         law that any sale of the Pledged Collateral conducted by the Secured
         Party in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section shall
         be deemed to be a commercially reasonable sale under applicable law.

                  (v) As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein
         conferred upon it, the Secured Party may proceed by a suit or suits at
         law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interest and to sell the
         Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a judgment or
         decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.

                  (vi) Any cash held by the Secured Party as Pledged Collateral
         and all cash proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any
         sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of
         the Pledged Collateral shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to the
         payment to the Secured Party of the costs and expenses of retaking,
         holding and preparing for sale of the Pledged Collateral and any other
         fees, expenses, claims, demands, losses, judgments, damages and
         liabilities payable to the Secured Party pursuant to any provision
         hereof; and (b) second, in accordance with the provisions of the Note.

                  (vii) Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the
         Secured Party and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured
         Obligations shall be reassigned and redelivered as provided in Section
         17 hereof.

         Section 13. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Secured Party
hereunder, the Security Interest, and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder,
shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

         (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Note, any agreement
with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, or any other agreement or
instrument relating to any of the foregoing;

         (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or
waiver of or any consent to and departure from the Note or any other agreement
or instrument;


                                       6
<PAGE>
         (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or
any release of, amendment to, waiver of, consent to or departure from any
guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations; and

         (d) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations
or in respect of this Agreement.

         Section 14. Notices. All notices, demands, requests, and other
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been given (i) when presented personally or (ii) three (3)
business days after being deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the
United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, registered or certified, return
receipt requested, addressed to the respective party, as the case may be, at the
following address, or such other address as any party may from time to time
designate by written notice to the others as herein required.

         If to Secured Party:       CSK Auto Corporation
                                    645 E. Missouri Avenue

                                    Telecopy: (602) 264-0495

         If to Pledgor:             Martin Fraser
                                    7873 W. Kerry Lane

         Section 15. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may only be amended
by a document signed by Secured Party and the Pledgor. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement nor consent by Secured Party to any departure by
Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by Secured Party. Any such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof (except as
provided above) nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right.

         Section 16. Election of Remedies. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Secured Party
shall have all of the rights and remedies granted herein and available at law or
in equity, and these same rights and remedies may be pursued separately,
successively or concurrently against Pledgor, at the sole discretion of Secured
Party.

         Section 17. Release of Pledged Collateral and Termination. Unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledged Collateral
shall be released from the pledge of this Agreement, and the Secured Party shall
reassign and redeliver (or cause to be reassigned and redelivered) to Pledgor,
or, subject to compliance with applicable law, to each person or persons as
Pledgor shall designate or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such
surplus, against receipt, certificates representing the Pledged Shares (if any)
or such Pledged Collateral other than Pledged Shares (if any) as shall not have
been sold or otherwise


                                       7
<PAGE>
applied by the Secured Party pursuant to the terms hereof and shall still be
held by it hereunder, together with appropriate instruments of reassignment and
release as follows:

         (a) the Secured Party shall transfer or reassign and redeliver to
Pledgor that number of Pledged Shares sold by Pledgor provided that all proceeds
from such sale are paid directly to the Secured Party (such proceeds to be
applied first to accrued but unpaid interest under the Note, then to principal,
with any proceeds in excess of such amounts being paid by Secured Party to
Pledgor), and

         (b) upon payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Note
and any other amount due hereunder, the Secured Party shall transfer or reassign
and redeliver all Pledged Collateral, or all remaining Pledged Collateral, as
the case may be, to Pledgor.

Any transfer, redelivery or reassignment provided for above shall be without
recourse upon or warranty by the Secured Party (other than a warranty that the
Secured Party has not assigned its rights and interests hereunder to any other
person) and at the expense of Pledgor.

         Section 18. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments. This Agreement
shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall
(a) remain in full force and effect until termination as provided in Section 17,
(b) be binding upon the Pledgor, the Secured Party and their respective
successors and assigns, and (c) inure, together with the rights, powers and
remedies of the Pledgor and the Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of the
Pledgor and the Secured Party and their respective successors, transferees and
assigns, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (b), Pledgor
shall not be permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest herein.

         Section 19. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction.

         (a) The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that this
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware. Pledgor hereby expressly and irrevocably agrees and consents
that any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated herein may be instituted by Secured Party in
any State or Federal court sitting in Phoenix, Arizona and, by the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, Pledgor expressly waives any objection which he may
have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue or to the jurisdiction of any
such suit, action or proceeding, and irrevocably submits generally and
unconditionally to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action
or proceeding.

         (b) Nothing contained in subsection (a) hereof shall preclude Secured
Party from bringing any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the Note in the courts of any place where Pledgor or any of
Pledgor's property or assets may be found or located. To the extent permitted by
the applicable laws of any such jurisdiction, Pledgor hereby irrevocably submits
to the jurisdiction of any such court and expressly waives, in respect of any
such suit, action or proceeding, the jurisdiction of any court or courts which
now or hereafter, by reason of his present, or future domicile, or otherwise,
may be available to him. PLEDGOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY.

         Section 20. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition,
unenforceability or non-authorization, without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

         Section 21. Number and Gender. Whenever used herein, the singular
number shall include the plural and the plural the singular, and the use of any
gender shall be applicable to all genders.

this Agreement are for convenience only and do not and shall not be deemed to
affect, limit, amplify or modify the terms and provisions hereof.

         Section 23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly
authorized, as of the date first above written.

Common Stock subject to the option described in Section 2(b) hereof (the "Option
Securities") are hereinafter called, collectively, the "Securities".

      The Company and the Selling Shareholder understand that the Underwriters
propose to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as the
Representatives deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and
delivered.

      The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-89982) covering the
registration of the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"), including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses.
Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will either
(i) prepare and file a prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430A
("Rule 430A") of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act
(the "1933 Act Regulations") and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 ("Rule 424(b)") of
the 1933 Act Regulations or (ii) if the Company has elected to rely upon Rule
434 ("Rule 434") of the 1933 Act Regulations, prepare and file a term sheet (a
"Term Sheet") in accordance with the provisions of Rule 434 and Rule 424(b). The
information included in such prospectus or in such Term Sheet, as the case may
be, that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became
effective but that is deemed to be part of such registration statement at the
time it became effective (a) pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A is referred
to as "Rule 430A Information" or (b) pursuant to paragraph (d) of Rule 434 is
referred to as "Rule 434 Information." Each prospectus used before such
registration statement became effective, and any prospectus that omitted, as
applicable, the Rule 430A Information or the Rule 434 Information, that was used
after such effectiveness and prior to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, is herein called a "preliminary prospectus." Such registration
statement, including the exhibits thereto, schedules thereto, if any, and the
documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3
under the 1933 Act, at the time it became effective and including the Rule 430A
Information and the Rule 434 Information, as applicable, is herein called the
"Registration Statement." Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule
462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations is herein referred to as the "Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement," and after such filing the term "Registration Statement"
shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The final prospectus,
including the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of
Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for
use in connection with the offering of the Securities is herein called the
"Prospectus." If Rule 434 is relied on, the term "Prospectus" shall refer to the
preliminary prospectus dated June 6, 2002 together with the Term Sheet and all
references in this Agreement to the date of the Prospectus shall mean the date
of the Term Sheet. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the
Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any Term
Sheet or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to
include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data
Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system ("EDGAR").

      All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and
other information which is "contained," "included" or "stated" in the
Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or other
references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such
financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the


                                       2
<PAGE>
Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to
amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing of
any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") which is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, such preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.

         SECTION 1.  Representations and Warranties.


     (a)  Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents
and warrants to each Underwriter as of the date hereof, as of the Closing Time
referred to in Section 2(c) hereof, and as of each Date of Delivery (if any)
referred to in Section 2(b) hereof, and agrees with each Underwriter, as
follows:

         (i)  Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Company meets the
      requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act. Each of the
      Registration Statement and any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement has
      become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop order suspending the
      effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b)
      Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act and no
      proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to
      the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any
      request on the part of the Commission for additional information has been
      complied with.

            At the respective times the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b)
      Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became
      effective and at the Closing Time (and, if any Option Securities are
      purchased, at the Date of Delivery), the Registration Statement, the Rule
      462(b) Registration Statement and any amendments and supplements thereto
      complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements of
      the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and did not and will not contain
      an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
      required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
      not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements
      thereto, at the time the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement
      was issued and at the Closing Time (and, if any Option Securities are
      purchased, at the Date of Delivery), included or will include an untrue
      statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material
      fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
      the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If Rule 434
      is used, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 434. The
      representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to
      statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or Prospectus
      made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the
      Company in writing by any Underwriter through Merrill Lynch expressly for
      use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

            Each preliminary prospectus and the prospectus filed as part of the
      Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any amendment
      thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, complied when
      so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act Regulations and each
      preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters
      for use in connection with this offering was identical to the


                                       3
<PAGE>
      electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission
      pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

            (ii)  Incorporated Documents. The documents incorporated or deemed
      to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the
      Prospectus, when they became effective or at the time they were or
      hereafter are filed with the Commission, complied and will comply in all
      material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act
      Regulations or the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the
      Commission thereunder (the "1934 Act Regulations"), as applicable, and,
      when read together with the other information in the Prospectus, at the
      time the Registration Statement became effective, at the time the
      Prospectus was issued and at the Closing Time (and, if any Option
      Securities are purchased, at the Date of Delivery), did not and will not
      contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
      fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
      therein not misleading.

            (iii)  Independent Accountants. The accountants who certified the
      financial statements and supporting schedules included in the Registration
      Statement are independent public accountants as required by the 1933 Act
      and the 1933 Act Regulations.

            (iv)  Financial Statements. The financial statements included in the
      Registration Statement and the Prospectus, together with the related
      schedules and notes, present fairly the financial position of the Company
      and its consolidated subsidiaries at the dates indicated and the statement
      of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of the Company and its
      consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified; said financial
      statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
      accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on a consistent basis throughout
      the periods involved. The supporting schedules, if any, included in the
      Registration Statement present fairly in accordance with GAAP the
      information required to be stated therein. The selected financial data and
      the summary financial information included in the Prospectus present
      fairly the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis
      consistent with that of the audited financial statements included in the
      Registration Statement. The pro forma financial statements and the related
      notes, if any, included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
      present fairly the information shown therein, the assumptions used in the
      preparation of the pro forma financial statements provide a reasonable
      basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the
      transactions or events described therein, the related pro forma
      adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions, and the pro
      forma columns therein reflect the proper application of those adjustments
      to the corresponding historical financial statement amounts.

            (v)  No Material Adverse Change in Business. Since the respective
      dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and
      the Prospectus, except as otherwise stated therein, (A) there has been no
      material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in
      the earnings or business of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as
      one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business
      (a "Material Adverse Effect"), (B) there have been no transactions entered
      into by the


                                       4
<PAGE>
      Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than those in the ordinary
      course of business, which are material with respect to the Company and its
      subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, and (C) there has been no
      dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company
      on any class of its capital stock.

            (vi)  Good Standing of the Company. The Company has been duly
      organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under
      the laws of the State of Delaware and has corporate power and authority to
      own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as
      described in the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations
      under this Agreement; and the Company is duly qualified as a foreign
      corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other
      jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of
      the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except
      where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result
      in a Material Adverse Effect.

            (vii)  Good Standing of Subsidiaries. Each "significant subsidiary"
      of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X)
      (including CSK Auto, Inc., an Arizona Corporation, each a "Subsidiary"
      and, collectively, the "Subsidiaries") has been duly organized and is
      validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the
      jurisdiction of its incorporation, has corporate power and authority to
      own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as
      described in the Prospectus and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
      to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
      such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or
      leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure
      so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material
      Adverse Effect; except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration
      Statement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each such
      Subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and
      non-assessable and is owned by the Company, directly or through
      subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge,
      lien, encumbrance, claim or equity; none of the outstanding shares of
      capital stock of any Subsidiary was issued in violation of the preemptive
      or similar rights of any securityholder of such Subsidiary. The only
      subsidiaries of the Company are the subsidiaries listed on Schedule D
      hereto.

            (viii)  Capitalization. The authorized, issued and outstanding
      capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Prospectus (as of the
      dates set forth therein) under the sections entitled "Prospectus Summary--
      the Offering" and "Description of Capital Stock" (except for subsequent
      issuances, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, pursuant to reservations,
      agreements or employee benefit plans referred to in the Prospectus or
      pursuant to the exercise of convertible securities, options or warrants
      referred to in the Prospectus). The shares of issued and outstanding
      capital stock of the Company, including the Securities to be purchased by
      the Underwriters from the Selling Shareholder, have been duly authorized
      and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; none of the
      outstanding shares of capital stock, including the Securities to be
      purchased by the Underwriters from the Selling Shareholder, was issued in
      violation of the preemptive or other similar rights of any securityholder
      of the Company.


                                       5
<PAGE>
            (ix)  Authorization of Agreement. This Agreement has been duly
      authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.


            (x)  Authorization and Description of Securities. The Securities to
      be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company have been duly
      authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriters pursuant to this
      Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this
      Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth herein, will be
      validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable; the Common Stock
      conforms to all statements relating thereto contained in the Prospectus
      and such description conforms to the rights set forth in the instruments
      defining the same; no holder of the Securities will be subject to personal
      liability by reason of being such a holder; and the issuance of the
      Securities is not subject to the preemptive or other similar rights of any
      securityholder of the Company.

            (xi)  Absence of Defaults and Conflicts. Neither the Company nor any
      of its subsidiaries is in violation of its charter or by-laws or in
      default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement,
      covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed
      of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or
      instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or
      by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property
      or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject (collectively,
      "Agreements and Instruments") except for such defaults that would not
      result in a Material Adverse Effect; and the execution, delivery and
      performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement (including the
      issuance and sale of the Securities and the use of the proceeds from the
      sale of the Securities as described in the Prospectus under the caption
      "Use of Proceeds") and compliance by the Company with its obligations
      hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and
      do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or
      passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or
      default or Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the
      creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any
      property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to, the
      Agreements and Instruments (except for such conflicts, breaches or
      defaults or liens, charges or encumbrances that would not result in a
      Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation of
      the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company or any subsidiary
      or any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or
      decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or
      foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary or any of
      their assets, properties or operations. As used herein, a "Repayment
      Event" means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note,
      debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such
      holder's behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or
      repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any
      subsidiary.

            (xii)  Absence of Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the employees
      of the Company or any subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the
      Company, is imminent, which may reasonably be expected to result in a
      Material Adverse Effect.


                                       6
<PAGE>
            (xiii)  Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding
      or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or
      body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the
      Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any subsidiary,
      which if determined adversely to the Company or such subsidiary would
      singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, or would
      materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated in this Agreement or the performance by the Company of its
      obligations hereunder; the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental
      proceedings to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or of which
      any of their respective property or assets is the subject which are not
      described in the Registration Statement, including ordinary routine
      litigation incidental to the business, could not reasonably be expected to
      result in a Material Adverse Effect.

            (xiv)  Accuracy of Exhibits. There are no contracts or documents
      which are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the
      Prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference therein or to be
      filed as exhibits thereto which have not been so described and filed as
      required.

            (xv)  Possession of Intellectual Property. The Company and its
      subsidiaries own or possess, or can acquire on reasonable terms, adequate
      patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how
      (including trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable
      proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures),
      trademarks, service marks, trade names or other intellectual property
      (collectively, "Intellectual Property") necessary to carry on the business
      now operated by them, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries
      has received any notice of any infringement of or conflict with asserted
      rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts
      or circumstances which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or
      inadequate to protect the interest of the Company or any of its
      subsidiaries therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the subject
      of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity or
      inadequacy, singly or in the aggregate, would result in a Material Adverse
      Effect.

            (xvi)  Absence of Further Requirements. No filing with, or
      authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration,
      qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency
      is necessary or required for the performance by the Company of its
      obligations hereunder, in connection with the offering, issuance or sale
      of the Securities hereunder or the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement, except such as have been already obtained
      or as may be required under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or
      state securities laws.

            (xvii)  Possession of Licenses and Permits. The Company and its
      subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other
      authorizations (collectively, "Governmental Licenses") issued by the
      appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies
      necessary to conduct the business now operated by them; the Company and
      its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all
      such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would
      not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of
      the Governmental Licenses are


                                       7
<PAGE>
      valid and in full force and effect, except when the invalidity of such
      Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be
      in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and
      neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of
      proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such
      Governmental Licenses which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of
      an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a Material
      Adverse Effect.

            (xviii)  Title to Property. The Company and its subsidiaries have
      good and marketable title to all real property owned by the Company and
      its subsidiaries and good title to all other properties owned by them, in
      each case, free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security
      interests, claims, restrictions or encumbrances of any kind except such as
      (a) are described in the Prospectus or (b) do not, singly or in the
      aggregate, materially affect the value of such property and do not
      interfere with the primary uses made and proposed to be made of such
      property by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and all of the leases
      and subleases material to the business of the Company and its
      subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, and under which the Company or
      any of its subsidiaries holds properties described in the Prospectus, are
      in full force and effect as of the dates set forth therein, and neither
      the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any notice of any claim of any
      sort that has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company
      or any of its subsidiaries under any of the leases or subleases mentioned
      above, or affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or such
      subsidiary to the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises
      under any such lease or sublease which, singly or in the aggregate, if the
      subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would result in a
      Material Adverse Effect.

            (xix)  Investment Company Act. The Company is not an open-end
      investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate
      company that is or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the
      United States Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company
      Act"); and the Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and
      sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as
      described in the Prospectus, will not be required to register as an
      "investment company" as defined in the Investment Company Act.

            (xx)  Environmental Laws. Except as would not, individually or in
      the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise require
      disclosure in the Registration Statement, (i) neither the Company nor any
      of its subsidiaries has been or is in violation of any federal, state or
      local laws and regulations relating to pollution or protection of human
      health or the environment, including, without limitation, laws and
      regulations relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened
      releases of toxic or hazardous substances, materials or wastes, or
      petroleum and petroleum products ("Materials of Environmental Concern"),
      or otherwise relating to the protection of human health and safety, or the
      use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Materials of
      Environmental Concern (collectively, "Environmental Laws"), which
      violation includes, but is not limited to, noncompliance with, or lack of,
      any permits or other environmental authorizations; (ii) there are no
      circumstances, either past, present or that are reasonably foreseeable,
      that may lead to any such violation in the future; (iii) neither the
      Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any communication
      (written or oral), whether


                                       8
<PAGE>
      from a governmental authority or otherwise, alleging any such violation;
      (iv) there is no pending or threatened claim, action, investigation or
      notice (written or oral) by any person or entity alleging potential
      liability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or against any person
      or entity for whose acts or omissions the Company or any of its
      subsidiaries is or may reasonably be expected to be liable, either
      contractually or by operation of law) for investigatory, cleanup, or other
      response costs, or natural resources or property damages, or personal
      injuries, attorney's fees or penalties relating to (A) the presence, or
      release into the environment, of any Materials of Environmental Concern at
      any location, or (B) circumstances forming the basis of any violation or
      potential violation, of any Environmental Law (collectively,
      "Environmental Claims"); and (v) there are no past or present actions,
      activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents that could form
      the basis of any Environmental Claim.

            (xxi)  Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each subsidiary
      of the Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls
      sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are
      executed in accordance with management's general or specific
      authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
      preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
      accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access
      is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific
      authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared
      with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is
      taken with respect to any differences.

            (xxii)  Taxes. All material Tax returns required to be filed by the
      Company and its Subsidiaries have been filed and all such returns are
      true, complete, and correct in all material respects. All material Taxes
      that are due or claimed to be due from the Company and its Subsidiaries
      have been paid other than those (i) currently payable without penalty or
      interest or (ii) being contested in good faith and by appropriate
      proceedings and for which, in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii),
      adequate reserves have been established on the books and records of the
      Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. There are no
      proposed material Tax assessments against the Company or any of its
      Subsidiaries as to which the Company has been notified. The accruals and
      reserves on the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries in
      respect of any material Tax liability for any Taxable period not finally
      determined are reasonably adequate to meet any assessments of Tax for any
      such period. For purposes of this Purchase Agreement, the term "Tax" and
      "Taxes" shall mean all Federal, state, local and foreign taxes, and other
      assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through
      withholding), including any interest, additions to tax, or penalties
      applicable thereto.

            (xxiii)  Registration Rights. Other than the agreements listed in
      Schedule F hereto, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings
      between the Company and any person granting such person the right to
      require the Company to file a registration statement under the Act with
      respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such
      person or to require the Company to include such securities in the
      securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or in any
      securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement
      filed by the Company under the


                                       9
<PAGE>
      Act. No such person currently has any rights to require the Company to
      include any securities in the Securities registered pursuant to the
      Registration Statement (except for the 2,600,000 shares of Common Stock
      owned by Glenellen that are being registered pursuant to the Registration
      Statement).

     (b)  Representations and Warranties by the Selling Shareholder. The Selling
Shareholder represents and warrants to each Underwriter as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Time, and agrees with each Underwriter, as follows:

            (i)  Accurate Disclosure. The Selling Shareholder has reviewed the
      Registration Statement, and the sale of the Offered Securities by the
      Selling Shareholder pursuant hereto is not prompted by any information
      concerning the Company or any of its subsidiaries which is not set forth
      in the Prospectus or any supplement thereto. The information in the
      Registration Statement under the caption "Principal and Selling
      Stockholders" which specifically relates to the Selling Shareholder does
      not, and will not on the Closing Date, contain any untrue statement of a
      material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
      therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
      circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

            (ii)  Authorization of Agreements. The Selling Shareholder has the
      full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and a Power
      of Attorney (the "Power of Attorney") and a Custody Agreement (the
      "Custody Agreement"), and to sell, transfer and deliver the Securities to
      be sold by the Selling Shareholder hereunder. The execution and delivery
      of this Agreement, the Power of Attorney and the Custody Agreement and the
      sale and delivery of the Securities to be sold by the Selling Shareholder
      and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and
      compliance by the Selling Shareholder with its obligations hereunder have
      been duly authorized by the Selling Shareholder and do not and will not,
      whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both,
      conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in
      the creation or imposition of any tax, lien, charge or encumbrance upon
      the Securities to be sold by the Selling Shareholder or any property or
      assets of the Selling Shareholder pursuant to any contract, indenture,
      mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, license, lease or
      other agreement or instrument to which the Selling Shareholder is a party
      or by which the Selling Shareholder may be bound, or to which any of the
      property or assets of the Selling Shareholder is subject, nor will such
      action result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws
      or other organizational instrument of the Selling Shareholder, if
      applicable, or any applicable treaty, law, statute, rule, regulation,
      judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government
      instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over
      the Selling Shareholder or any of its properties.

            (iii)  Good and Marketable Title. The Selling Shareholder has and
      will at the Closing Time have valid and marketable title to the Securities
      to be sold by it hereunder, free and clear of any security interest,
      mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, claim, equity or encumbrance of any kind,
      other than pursuant to this Agreement; and upon delivery of such
      Securities and payment of the purchase price therefor as herein
      contemplated, assuming each such Underwriter has no notice of any adverse
      claim, each of the


                                       10
<PAGE>
      Underwriters will receive good and marketable title to the Securities
      purchased by it from the Selling Shareholder, free and clear of any
      security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, claim, equity or
      encumbrance of any kind.

            (iv)   Due Execution of Power of Attorney and Custody Agreement. The
      Selling Shareholder has duly executed and delivered, in the form
      heretofore furnished to the Representatives, the Power of Attorney and the
      Custody Agreement with Robert Smith as attorney-in-fact (the
      "Attorney-in-Fact") and Jenkens & Gilchrist Parker Chapin LLP, as
      custodian (the "Custodian"); the Custodian is authorized to deliver the
      Securities to be sold by the Selling Shareholder hereunder and to accept
      payment therefor; and the Attorney-in-Fact is authorized to execute and
      deliver this Agreement and the certificate referred to in Section 5(f) or
      that may be required pursuant to Section 5(l) and 5(m) on behalf of the
      Selling Shareholder, to sell, assign and transfer to the Underwriters the
      Securities to be sold by the Selling Shareholder hereunder, to determine
      the purchase price to be paid by the Underwriters to the Selling
      Shareholder, as provided in Section 2(a) hereof, to authorize the delivery
      of the Securities to be sold by the Selling Shareholder hereunder, to
      accept payment therefor, and otherwise to act on behalf of the Selling
      Shareholder in connection with this Agreement.

            (v)  Absence of Manipulation. The Selling Shareholder has not taken,
      and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed to
      or which has constituted or which might reasonably be expected to cause or
      result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of
      the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

            (vi)  Absence of Further Requirements. No filing with, or consent,
      approval, authorization, license, order, registration, qualification or
      decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or
      foreign, is necessary or required for the performance by the Selling
      Shareholder of its obligations hereunder, in the Power of Attorney or in
      the Custody Agreement, or in connection with the offer, sale and delivery
      of the Securities hereunder or the consummation of the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement, except such as may have previously been
      made or obtained or as may be required under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act
      Regulations or state securities laws.

            (vii)  Restriction on Sale of Securities. During a period of 90 days
      from the date of the Prospectus, the Selling Shareholder will not, without
      the prior written consent of UBS Warburg LLC, (i) offer, pledge, sell,
      contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any
      option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase
      or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any share of
      Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or
      exchangeable for Common Stock or file any registration statement under the
      1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing or (ii) enter into any swap
      or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in
      part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the
      Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i)
      or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other
      securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply
      to the Securities to be sold hereunder.


                                       11
<PAGE>
            (viii)  Certificates Suitable for Transfer. Certificates for all of
      the Securities to be sold by the Selling Shareholder pursuant to this
      Agreement, in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by
      duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank with
      signatures guaranteed, have been placed in custody with the Custodian with
      irrevocable conditional instructions to deliver such Securities to the
      Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement.

            (ix)  No Association with NASD. Neither the Selling Shareholder nor
      any of its affiliates directly, or indirectly through one or more
      intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control
      with, or has any other association with (within the meaning of Article I,
      Section 1(m) of the By-laws of the National Association of Securities
      Dealers, Inc.), any member firm of the National Association of Securities
      Dealers, Inc.

      (c) Officer's Certificates. Any closing certificate signed by any officer
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries delivered to the Representatives or to
counsel for the Underwriters pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be
deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to each Underwriter as to
the matters covered thereby; and any certificate signed by or on behalf of the
Selling Shareholder as such and delivered to the Representatives or to counsel
for the Underwriters pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed a
representation and warranty by the Selling Shareholder to the Underwriters as to
the matters covered thereby.

      SECTION 2. Sale and Delivery to Underwriters; Closing.

      (a) Initial Securities. On the basis of the representations and warranties
herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Company and the Selling Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agree to sell to
each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, and each Underwriter, severally and
not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company and the Selling Shareholder, at
the price per share set forth in Schedule C, that proportion of the number of
Initial Securities set forth in Schedule B opposite the name of the Company or
the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, which the number of Initial
Securities set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter, plus
any additional number of Initial Securities which such Underwriter may become
obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, bears to
the total number of Initial Securities, subject, in each case, to such
adjustments among the Underwriters as the Representatives in their sole
discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional
securities.

      (b) Option Securities. In addition, on the basis of the representations
and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein
set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the Underwriters, severally
and not jointly, to purchase up to an additional 1,236,300 shares of Common
Stock, as set forth in Schedule B, at the price per share set forth in Schedule
C, less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by
the Company and payable on the Initial Securities but not payable on the Option
Securities. The option hereby granted will expire 30 days after the date hereof
and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the purpose
of covering over-allotments which may be made in connection with the offering
and distribution of the Initial Securities upon notice by the Representatives to
the Company setting forth the number of Option Securities as to which the


                                       12
<PAGE>
several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of
payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time and date of
delivery (a "Date of Delivery") shall be determined by the Representatives, but
shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise of said
option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Time, as hereinafter defined. If
the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, each
of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that
proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being purchased which
the number of Initial Securities set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of
such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Securities, subject in
each case to such adjustments as the Representatives in their discretion shall
make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.

      (c) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of
certificates for, the Initial Securities shall be made at the offices of
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, 300 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles,
CA 90071, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives
and the Company and the Selling Shareholder, at 7:00 A.M. (California time) on
the third (fourth, if the pricing occurs after 4:30 P.M. (Eastern time) on any
given day) business day after the date hereof (unless postponed in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10), or such other time not later than ten
business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and
the Company and the Selling Shareholder (such time and date of payment and
delivery being herein called "Closing Time").

      In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are
purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery
of certificates for, such Option Securities shall be made at the above-mentioned
offices, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives
and the Company, on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from the
Representatives to the Company.

      Payment shall be made to the Company and the Selling Shareholder by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to bank accounts designated by the
Company and the Custodian pursuant to the Selling Shareholder's Power of
Attorney and Custody Agreement, as the case may be, against delivery to the
Representatives for the respective accounts of the Underwriters of certificates
for the Securities to be purchased by them. It is understood that each
Underwriter has authorized the Representatives, for its account, to accept
delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the
Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, which it has agreed to
purchase. Merrill Lynch, individually and not as representative of the
Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase
price for the Initial Securities or the Option Securities, if any, to be
purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing
Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, but such payment
shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

      (d)   Denominations; Registration. Certificates for the Initial Securities
and the Option Securities, if any, shall be in such denominations and registered
in such names as the Representatives may request in writing at least one full
business day before the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the
case may be. The certificates for the Initial Securities and the Option
Securities, if any, will be made available for examination and packaging by the
Representatives in The City of New York not later than 10:00 A.M. (Eastern time)
on the business day prior to the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery,
as the case may be.


                                       13

      SECTION 3. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with each
Underwriter as follows:

      (a)  Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The
Company, subject to Section 3(b), will comply with the requirements of Rule 430A
or Rule 434, as applicable, and will notify the Representatives immediately, and
confirm the notice in writing, (1) when any post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement shall become effective, or any supplement to the
Prospectus or any amended Prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt
of any comments from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for
any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to
the Prospectus or for additional information, and (iv) of the issuance by the
Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary
prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for
offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any
proceedings for any of such purposes. The Company will promptly effect the
filings necessary pursuant to Rule 424(b) and will take such steps as it deems
necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus transmitted for
filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the
event that it was not, it will promptly file such prospectus. The Company will
make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if
any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible
moment.

      (b)  Filing of Amendments. The Company will give the Representatives
notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration
Statement (including any filing under Rule 462(b)), any Term Sheet or any
amendment, supplement or revision to either the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement at the time it became effective or to the Prospectus,
whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, will furnish the
Representatives with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time
prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or
use any such document to which the Representatives or counsel for the
Underwriters shall reasonably object.

      (c)  Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company has furnished or
will deliver to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriter, without
charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of
each amendment thereto (including, if requested by any Underwriter, exhibits
filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) and signed copies of all
consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to the
Representatives, without charge, a conformed copy of the Registration Statement
as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of
the Underwriters. The copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment
thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically
transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except
to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

      (d)  Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company has delivered to each
Underwriter, without charge, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus as
such Underwriter reasonably requested, and the Company hereby consents to the
use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will
furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when the
Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, such
number


                                       14
<PAGE>
of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may
reasonably request. The Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto
furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically
transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except
to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

      (e)  Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply
with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act
Regulations so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities
as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus. If at any time when a
prospectus is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales
of the Securities, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of
which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the
Company, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the
Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include any untrue statements
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing
at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the
opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or
amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of
the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and
file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(b), such amendment or supplement
as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the
Company will furnish to the Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment
or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request.

      (f)  Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use its best efforts, in
cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Securities for offering and
sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions
(domestic or foreign) as the Representatives may designate and to maintain such
qualifications in effect for a period of not less than one year from the later
of the effective date of the Registration Statement and any Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a
foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it
is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing
business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. In each
jurisdiction in which the Securities have been so qualified, the Company will
file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such
jurisdiction to continue such qualification in effect for a period of not less
than one year from the effective date of the Registration Statement and any Rule
462(b) Registration Statement.

      (g)  Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the
1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its
securityholders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes
of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section
11(a) of the 1933 Act.

      (h)  Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received by it
from the sale of the Securities in the manner specified in the Prospectus under
"Use of Proceeds".

      (i)  Listing. The Company will use its best efforts to effect the listing
of the Securities on the New York Stock Exchange.


                                       15
<PAGE>
      (j)  Restriction on Sale of Securities. During a period of 90 days from
the date of the Prospectus, the Company will not, without the prior written
consent of UBS Warburg LLC, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell,
contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option
or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise
transfer or dispose of any share of Common Stock or any securities convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or file any registration
statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing or (ii) enter
into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole
or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the
Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or
(ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other
securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A)
the Securities to be sold hereunder, (B) any shares of Common Stock issued by
the Company upon the exercise of an option or warrant or the conversion of a
security outstanding on the date hereof and referred to in the Prospectus, (C)
any shares of Common Stock issued or options to purchase Common Stock granted
pursuant to existing employee benefit plans of the Company referred to in the
Prospectus or (D) any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to any non-employee
director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan.

      (k)  Reporting Requirements. The Company, during the period when the
Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, will
file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934
Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act
Regulations.

      SECTION 4. Payment of Expenses.

      (a)  Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Company will pay
or cause to be paid all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations
and the obligations of the Selling Shareholder under this Agreement, including

(including financial statements and exhibits) as originally filed and of each
amendment thereto, (ii) the preparation, printing and delivery to the
Underwriters of this Agreement, any Agreement among Underwriters and such other
documents as may be required in connection with the offering, purchase, sale,
issuance or delivery of the Securities, (iii) the preparation, issuance and
delivery of the certificates for the Securities to the Underwriters, including
any stock or other transfer taxes and any stamp or other duties payable upon the
sale, issuance or delivery of the Securities to the Underwriters, (iv) the fees
and disbursements of the Company's counsel, accountants and other advisors, (v)
the qualification of the Securities under securities laws in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3(f) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in
connection with the preparation of the Blue Sky Survey and any supplement
thereto, (vi) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of each
preliminary prospectus, any Term Sheets and of the Prospectus and any amendments
or supplements thereto, (vii) the preparation, printing and delivery to the
Underwriters of copies of the Blue Sky Survey and any supplement thereto, (viii)
the fees and expenses of any transfer agent or registrar for the Securities,
(ix) the filing fees incident to, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel to the Underwriters in connection with, the review by the National

the Securities and (x) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
listing of the Securities on the New York Stock


                                       16
<PAGE>
Exchange. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4, the cost
or expense of all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to
the sale of Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Selling
Shareholder and the Company, in proportion to the number of shares sold by each
such party.

      (b)  Expenses of the Selling Shareholder. The Selling Shareholder will pay
all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under, and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i)
any stamp duties, capital duties and stock transfer taxes, if any, payable upon
the sale of the Securities owned by it to the Underwriters, and their transfer
between the Underwriters pursuant to an agreement between such Underwriters, and
(ii) the fees and disbursements of their respective counsel and accountants.

      (c)  Termination of Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated by the
Representatives in accordance with the provisions of Section 5, Section 9(a)(i)
or Section 11 hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for all of
their out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Underwriters; provided, however, that if any such termination of
this Agreement is solely caused by, or based solely upon, a default by the
Selling Shareholder as referred to in Section 11 of this Agreement, or the
failure of the Selling Shareholder to comply with its requirements under Section
5 of this Agreement, then the Selling Shareholder shall reimburse the
Underwriters for such expenses.

      (d)  Allocation of Expenses. The provisions of this Section shall not
affect any agreement that the Company and the Selling Shareholder may make for
the sharing of such costs and expenses.

      SECTION 5. Conditions of Underwriters' Obligations. The obligations of the
several Underwriters hereunder are subject to the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Selling Shareholder
contained in Section 1 hereof or in certificates of any officer of the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder
delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company
of its covenants and other obligations hereunder, and to the following further

several Underwriters to purchase the relevant Option Securities, may be
terminated by the Representatives by notice to the Company at any time at or
prior to Closing Time or such Date of Delivery, as the case may be, and such
termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as
provided in Section 4 and except that Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive any
such termination and remain in full force and effect.

      SECTION 6. Indemnification.

      (a)  Indemnification of Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of
the 1934 Act to the extent and in the manner set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) below. In addition, the Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act
as follows:

            (i)  against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
      whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged
      untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
      Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information
      and the Rule 434 Information, if applicable, or the omission or alleged
      omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or
      necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of
      any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
      included in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment
      or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
      material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
      light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;


                                       20
<PAGE>
            (ii)  against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
      whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in
      settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
      governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim
      whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
      alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section
      6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of
      the Company and the Selling Shareholder; and

            (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including
      the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Merrill Lynch), reasonably
      incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation,
      or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
      commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
      untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
      omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or
      (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any
Underwriter through Merrill Lynch expressly for use in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information and
the Rule 434 Information, if applicable, or any preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and, provided, further,
that the Company will not be liable to any Underwriter with respect to any
prospectus to the extent that the Company shall sustain the burden of proving
that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulted from the fact
that such Underwriter, in contravention of a requirement of this Agreement or
applicable law, sold Securities to a person to whom such Underwriter failed to
send or give, at or prior to the Closing Date, a copy of the Prospectus, as then
amended or supplemented if: (i) the Company has previously furnished copies
thereof (sufficiently in advance of the Closing Date to allow for distribution
by the Closing Date) to the Underwriter and the loss, liability, claim, damage
or expense of such Underwriter resulted from an untrue statement or omission of
a material fact contained in or omitted from the preliminary Prospectus which
was corrected in the Prospectus as, if applicable, amended or supplemented prior
to the Closing Date and such Prospectus was required by law to be delivered at
or prior to the written confirmation of sale to such person and (ii) such
failure to give or send such Prospectus by the Closing Date to the party or
parties asserting such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense would have
constituted the sole defense to the claim asserted by such person; provided,
further that the Selling Shareholder shall only be subject to such liability to
the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission is based upon information provided in writing by the Selling
Shareholder or contained in a representation or warranty given by the Selling
Shareholder in this Agreement or the Custody Agreement; and provided, further,
that the liability under this subsection of the Selling Shareholder shall be
limited to an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds after underwriting
commissions and discounts, but before expenses, to the Selling Shareholder from
the sale of Securities sold by the Selling Shareholder hereunder.

      (b)  Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers and Selling
Shareholder. Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its directors, each of


                                       21
<PAGE>
its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section
20 of the 1934 Act, and the Selling Shareholder and each person, if any, who
controls the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933
Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim,
damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in this Section 6, as
incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged
untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information and the Rule 434
Information, if applicable, or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through Merrill
Lynch expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)
or such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto).

      (c)  Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall
give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of
any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought
hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such
indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not
materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity
agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above,
counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by Merrill Lynch, and, in
the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the
indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may
participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided,
however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the
consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In
no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more
than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own
counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or
separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which
indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section
7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties
thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out
of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include
a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by
or on behalf of any indemnified party.

      (d)  Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an
indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party
agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by
Section 6(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of
the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being
entered into, and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement; provided that an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any such
settlement effected without its consent if such indemnifying party, prior to the
date of such settlement, (1) reimburses such indemnified party in accordance
with such


                                       22
<PAGE>
request for the amount of such fees and expenses of counsel as the
indemnifying party believes in good faith to be reasonable, and (2) provides
written notice to the indemnified party that the indemnifying party disputes in
good faith the reasonableness of the unpaid balance of such fees and expenses.

      (e)  Other Agreements with Respect to Indemnification. The provisions of
this Section shall not affect any agreement among the Company and the Selling
Shareholder with respect to indemnification.

      SECTION 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6
hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses
incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the
Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from
the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the
Selling Shareholder on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

      The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholder
on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the
offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in
the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of
the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received
by the Company and the Selling Shareholder and the total underwriting discount
received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the cover of the
Prospectus, or, if Rule 434 is used, the corresponding location on the Term
Sheet bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as
set forth on such cover.

      The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholder or by the
Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

      The Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section
7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and


                                       23
<PAGE>
expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section
7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

      Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

      No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

      For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of
the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and
each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the
Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section
20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or
the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be. The Underwriters' respective
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion
to the number of Initial Securities set forth opposite their respective names in
Schedule A hereto and not joint.

      The provisions of this Section shall not affect any agreement among the
Company and the Selling Shareholder with respect to contribution.

      SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.
All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in
certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the
Selling Shareholder submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in
full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of
any Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company or the
Selling Shareholder, and shall survive delivery of the Securities to the
Underwriters.

      SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.

      (a)  Termination; General. The Representatives may terminate this
Agreement, by notice to the Company and the Selling Shareholder, at any time at
or prior to Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of
this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), any material adverse
change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business
affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as
one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or
(ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets
in the United States or in the international financial markets, any outbreak of
hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or


                                       24
<PAGE>
development involving a prospective change in national or international
political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is
such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or
inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the
Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been
suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the New York Stock
Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York
Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or materially
limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum
ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system
or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred
in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the
United States, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either
Federal or New York authorities.

      (b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section,
such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party
except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6,
7 and 8 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

      SECTION 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of
the Underwriters shall fail at Closing Time or a Date of Delivery to purchase
the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement
(the "Defaulted Securities"), the Representatives shall have the right, within
24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting
Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all,
of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the
terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have
completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

            (i) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the
      number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the
      non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly,
      to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their
      respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting
      obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters; or

            (ii) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number
      of Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with
      respect to any Date of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the
      obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the
      Option Securities to be purchased and sold on such Date of Delivery shall
      terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

      No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

      In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of
this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing
Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the
Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the


                                       25
<PAGE>
relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, either (i) the Representatives
or (ii) the Company and the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to postpone
Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period
not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.
As used herein, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an
Underwriter under this Section 10.

      SECTION 11. Default by the Selling Shareholder or the Company.

      (a) If the Selling Shareholder shall fail at Closing Time or at a Date of
Delivery to sell and deliver the number of Securities which the Selling
Shareholder is obligated to sell hereunder, then the Underwriters may, at the
option of the Representatives, by notice from the Representatives to the
Company, either (i) terminate this Agreement without any liability on the fault
of any non-defaulting party except that the provisions of Sections 1, 4, 6, 7
and 8 shall remain in full force and effect or (b) elect to purchase the
Securities which the Company has agreed to sell hereunder. No action taken
pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve the Selling Shareholder so defaulting
from liability, if any, in respect of such default.

      In the event of a default by the Selling Shareholder as referred to in
this Section 11, each of the Representatives and the Company shall have the
