         Registration Rights

         At Closing, the Issuer and the holders of Preferred Stock entered into
a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant
to which the Issuer has agreed to effect two "demand" registrations at the
request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the
HMTF Holders and any direct or indirect transferee of any Registrable Securities
held by the HMTF Holders, provided that each such demand registration must be in
respect of Registrable Securities (as defined below) with a fair market value of
at least $50,000,000 and provided that certain other restrictions are met. In
addition, the Purchasers have certain piggyback registration rights in
connection with registrations of the Issuer's securities under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").


                                     Page 26

<PAGE>   27



         "Registrable Securities" means (a) the Preferred Stock purchased
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, plus any additional shares of
Preferred Stock issued in respect thereof in connection with any stock split,
stock dividend or similar event with respect to the Preferred Stock, (b) the
Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Preferred Stock and upon exercise of
the Warrants, plus any additional shares of Common Stock issued in respect
thereof in connection with any stock split, stock dividend or similar event with
respect to the Common Stock and (c) any securities that the Issuer or any
successor entity into which such Common Stock or such Preferred Stock may be
converted or changed.

         The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is not,
and does not purport to be, complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as
Exhibit 10.2 to the Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

         Certificate of Designation

         As contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Board of
Directors of the Issuer approved and adopted the Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of 7.50% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock Series
B-1 Due 2015 (the "Certificate of Designation") to create the series of
Preferred Stock. Under the Certificate of Designation, the shares of Preferred
Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-
up and dissolution, rank (i) senior to all shares of Common Stock, the Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock of the Issuer and to each other class of
capital stock or preferred stock of the Issuer, the terms of which do not
expressly provide that it ranks senior to or on a parity with the shares of the
Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and
dissolution of the Issuer; (ii) on a parity with additional shares of Preferred
Stock issued by the Issuer and each other class of capital stock or series of
preferred stock of the Issuer issued by the Issuer, the terms of which expressly
provide that such class or series will rank on a parity with the shares of the
Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and
dissolution, if the Issuer, in issuing the shares, complies with applicable
provisions in the Certificate of Designation; and (iii) junior to each class of
capital stock or series of preferred stock of the Issuer issued by the Issuer,
the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series will rank senior
to the shares of Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon
liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, if the Issuer, in issuing the shares,
complies with applicable provisions in the Certificate of Designation.

         The holders of the shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to
receive with respect to each share of Preferred Stock, out of funds legally
available for the payment of dividends, dividends at a rate per annum of 7.50%
of the then-effective Liquidation Preference (as defined below). Such dividends
shall be cumulative from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock and shall
be payable quarterly in arrears. On each Dividend Payment Date, commencing May
31, 2000, to and including the May 31, 2005 Dividend Payment Date, accrued
dividends on a share of the Preferred Stock for the preceding Dividend Period
shall be added cumulatively to and thereafter remain a part of the Liquidation
Preference of such share. Thereafter, accrued dividends shall be payable
quarterly on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing on August 31, 2005, to the
holders of record of Preferred Stock as of the close of business on the
applicable Dividend Record Date. Accrued dividends that are not paid in full in
cash on any such Dividend Payment Date (whether or not declared and whether or
not there are sufficient funds legally available for the payment thereof) shall
be added cumulatively to the Liquidation Preference on the applicable Dividend
Payment Date and thereafter remain a part thereof.

         The holders of shares of Preferred Stock will have the right,
generally, at any time, to convert any or all their shares of Preferred Stock
into a number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to
the then effective Liquidation Preference thereof plus accrued and unpaid
dividends to the date of conversion divided by the Conversion Price in effect at
the time of conversion.

         The shares of Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time commencing on
or after March 9, 2005 (or earlier, if, under the Certificate of Designation,
certain conditions relating to a Change of Control (as defined in the
Certificate of Designation) shall have occurred), in whole or from time to time
in part, at the election of the



                                     Page 27

<PAGE>   28


Issuer, at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 100% of the then
effective Liquidation Preference (after giving effect to the Special Payment (as
defined below), if applicable) plus accrued and unpaid dividends from the last
dividend payment date to the date fixed for redemption. Shares of Preferred
Stock (if not earlier redeemed or converted) shall be mandatorily redeemed by
the Issuer on February 28, 2015, at a redemption price per share in cash equal
to the then effective Liquidation Preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon from the last dividend payment date to the date of mandatory redemption.

         Upon occurrence of a "Change of Control" (as defined in the Certificate
of Designation), the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if
the change of control occurs prior to March 9, 2005, the Special Payment and
shall have the right to either (a) continue to hold their shares of Preferred
Stock (or the shares of preferred stock issued in respect thereof pursuant to
consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer as provided in the Certificate of
Designation (the "Hold Option")), (b) convert their shares of Preferred Stock
(including shares received as a Special Payment) or (c) elect to have their
shares of Preferred Stock remarketed as described below (the "Remarketing
Option").

         If the change of control occurs prior to March 9, 2005, the holders of
the Preferred Stock shall receive the Special Payment, pursuant to which the
Liquidation Preference of each share of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have
been increased by an amount (the "Special Payment") equal to a formula set forth
in the Certificate of Designation. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall
receive the Special Payment whether they elect the Hold Option, the Remarketing
Option or the option to convert their shares of Preferred Stock.

         If the Remarketing Option is selected with respect to a share of
Preferred Stock, such holder shall be deemed to have elected to waive such
holder's right to convert such share for a specified period of time and the
Issuer shall thereafter have the option either to (a) have such share redeemed
in accordance with the provisions for optional redemption contained in the
Certificate of Designation, or (b) remarket such share for the account of such
holder and, if the net proceeds to such holder of such remarketing are less than
an amount in cash equal to 100% of the Liquidation Preference (after giving
effect to the Special Payment (if applicable)) of such share plus accrued and
unpaid dividends thereon from the last dividend payment date to the date payment
is received by such holder in respect of such share, the Issuer shall issue to
and sell for the account of such holder a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock to make up such shortfall. If the Issuer does not, within 180 days after
the date of the Issuer's giving written notice of its election of (a) or (b)
above, settle the claim with the holder pursuant to (a) or (b) above, then the
holder shall have the option, for a period of 10 business days, of electing the
Hold Option or electing to convert such holder's shares of Preferred Stock.

         The holders of the shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote
on all matters that the holders of the Issuer's Common Stock are entitled to
vote upon. In exercising these voting rights, each share of Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of the
Issuer's Common Stock. The approval of the holders of at least a majority of the
then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and the Company's 7.50% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B-2, voting as one class, will be required
for the Issuer to take certain actions. In addition, for so long as members of
the HMTF Group own any combination of the shares of Preferred Stock issued to
the members of the HMTF Group as of the Closing and shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of such Preferred Stock (the "HMTF Shares"), which, taken
together, would represent (if all such shares of Preferred Stock were converted)
an amount of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 50% or more of such
Preferred Stock, the holders of the HMTF Shares, voting as a class, may elect
one director to serve on the board of directors of the Issuer. Pursuant to this
right, the HMTF Holders have elected John R. Muse for election to the board of
directors of the Issuer. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains a parallel
provision for the election of a director that is inoperative for so long as the
above described provision is in effect.

         "Liquidation Preference" means an amount equal to $1,000 per share of
Preferred Stock plus an amount equal to the Share Option Adjustment Amount (as
defined below) per share of the Preferred Stock, subject to change in accordance
with the provisions of the Certificate of Designation.



                                     Page 28

<PAGE>   29


         "Share Option Adjustment Amount" means an amount equal to $72.00.

         The foregoing description is not, and does not purport to be, complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation,
a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated by reference.

         Common Stock Warrant Certificates

         As contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Board of
Directors of the Issuer approved and adopted the Common Stock Warrant
Certificates for the A-1 Warrants (the A-1 Warrant Certificate") and the B-1
Warrants (the "B-1 Warrant Certificate"). The A-1 Warrants entitle the HMTF
Holders or their permitted assigns to purchase from the Issuer fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $75.00 per share,
as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the A-1 Warrant
Certificate. The A-1 Warrants are void after March 9, 2005. The B-1 Warrants
entitle the HMTF Holders or their permitted assigns to purchase from the Issuer
fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$100.00 per share, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the
B-1 Warrant Certificate. The B-1 Warrants are void after September 9, 2007.

         The foregoing description of the A-1 Warrant Certificate and the B-1
Warrant Certificate is not, and does not purport to be, complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Common Stock Warrant No.
A-1 and the Form of Common Stock Warrant No. B-1, copies of which are filed as
Exhibit 10.4 and Exhibit 10.5, respectively, to the Schedule 13D and are
incorporated herein by reference.

         Assignment and Transfer of Preferred Stock and Warrants

         Pursuant to an Assignment and Transfer of Preferred Stock and Warrants
Agreement dated March 22, 2000 (the "Assignment Agreement"), (i) I-EQ LLC
assigned and transferred 369 Preferred Shares and 855 A-1 Warrants and 855 B-1
