--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the Escrow Issuer Merger, the parties hereto wish to
amend and restate in its entirety the Initial Registration Rights Agreement; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for good and valid
consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and each
of the Subsidiary Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, with you for your
benefit and the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Securities
(including the Initial Purchasers) and the Exchange Securities (as defined
herein) (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”), as follows:

1.  REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER.  UNLESS THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER (AS DEFINED
HEREIN) SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR APPLICABLE INTERPRETATION OF
THE STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC” OR “COMMISSION”),
THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS SHALL (I) PREPARE AND, NOT LATER THAN
120 DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF THE SECURITIES (THE DATE
OF SUCH FILING BEING REFERRED TO HEREIN AS THE “FILING DATE”), FILE WITH THE
COMMISSION A REGISTRATION STATEMENT (THE “EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION
STATEMENT”) ON AN APPROPRIATE FORM UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT WITH RESPECT TO A
PROPOSED OFFER TO THE HOLDERS OF THE SECURITIES (THE “REGISTERED EXCHANGE
OFFER”) TO ISSUE AND DELIVER TO SUCH HOLDERS, IN EXCHANGE FOR THE SECURITIES A
LIKE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF DEBT SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY (INCLUDING THE
GUARANTEES THEREOF BY THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS, THE “EXCHANGE SECURITIES”) THAT
ARE SUBSTANTIALLY IDENTICAL IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS TO THE SECURITIES, EXCEPT
FOR THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS RELATING TO THE SECURITIES, (II) USE THEIR
COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO CAUSE THE EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION
STATEMENT TO BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT NO LATER THAN 210 DAYS
AFTER THE FILING DATE AND (III) AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AFTER THE EFFECTIVENESS
OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT, INITIATE THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE
OFFER AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH.  THE EXCHANGE SECURITIES WILL BE
ISSUED UNDER THE INDENTURE, WITH SUCH MODIFICATIONS AS MAY BE APPROPRIATE TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE REGISTRATION OF THE EXCHANGE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT.

Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company
and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it
being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder
electing to exchange Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such
Holder (a) is not an affiliate of the Company or an Exchanging Dealer (as
defined herein) not complying with the requirements of the next sentence, (b) is
not holding Securities that have, or that are reasonably likely to have, the
status of an unsold allotment in the Initial Placement, (c) acquires the
Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and (d) has
no arrangements or understandings with any person to participate, and is not
participating, in the distribution of the Exchange Securities) and to trade such
Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or
restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under
the securities laws of the several states of the United States.  The Company,
the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Holders and

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

each Exchanging Dealer acknowledge that, pursuant to current interpretations by
the Commission’s staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, each Holder that is a
Broker-Dealer electing to exchange Securities, acquired for its own account as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange
Securities (an “Exchanging Dealer”), is required, in connection with a sale of
any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer, to deliver a prospectus containing substantially the
information set forth (i) in Annex A hereto on the cover of such prospectus,
(ii) in Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the
“Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section of such prospectus and (iii) in Annex C
hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of such prospectus, in each case
subject to any changes, additions, deletions or moving of such disclosure
required by the SEC.

In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company on behalf of
itself and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall:

(A)  MAIL TO EACH HOLDER OF SECURITIES A COPY OF THE PROSPECTUS FORMING PART OF
THE EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT, TOGETHER WITH AN APPROPRIATE LETTER
OF TRANSMITTAL AND RELATED DOCUMENTS;

(B)  KEEP THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER OPEN FOR NOT LESS THAN 30 DAYS AND NOT
MORE THAN 45 BUSINESS DAYS (OR, IN EACH CASE, LONGER, IF REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW) AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH NOTICE OF THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER IS MAILED
TO THE HOLDERS OF SECURITIES AND THE PURCHASERS;

(C)  UTILIZE THE SERVICES OF A DEPOSITARY FOR THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER WITH
AN ADDRESS IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK;

(D)  PERMIT HOLDERS TO WITHDRAW TENDERED SECURITIES AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE END
OF THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER, AS SET FORTH IN THE MATERIALS ORIGINALLY
MAILED TO HOLDERS OF SECURITIES OR OTHERWISE EXTENDED BY THE COMPANY;

(E)  COMPLY WITH ALL REQUESTS OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IN ORDER
TO CONSUMMATE THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER; AND

(F)  COMPLY IN ALL RESPECTS WITH ALL LAWS THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO THE REGISTERED
EXCHANGE OFFER.

As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer, the
Company on behalf of itself and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall:

(A)  ACCEPT FOR EXCHANGE ALL SECURITIES TENDERED AND NOT VALIDLY WITHDRAWN
PURSUANT TO THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER;

(B)  DELIVER TO THE TRUSTEE FOR DUE CANCELATION ALL SECURITIES SO ACCEPTED FOR
EXCHANGE; AND

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(C)  CAUSE THE TRUSTEE FOR THE EXCHANGE SECURITIES PROMPTLY TO AUTHENTICATE AND
DELIVER TO EACH HOLDER, EXCHANGE SECURITIES EQUAL IN PRINCIPAL AMOUNT TO THE
SECURITIES OF SUCH HOLDER SO ACCEPTED FOR EXCHANGE.

The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their best efforts to keep
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement
the prospectus contained therein in order to permit such prospectus to be used
by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements
in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided that (i) in the case where
such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an
Exchanging Dealer, such period shall be the earlier of 210 days from the close
of the Registered Exchange Offer and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers
have sold all Exchange Securities held by them and (ii) the Company shall make
such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to any
Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities
for a period of not less than 90 days after the consummation of the Registered
Exchange Offer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any 365-day period, the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors may suspend the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement for up to 2 periods
(each a “Suspension Period”) of up to 45 consecutive days (except for the
consecutive 45-day period immediately prior to maturity of the Securities), but
no more than an aggregate of 75 days during any 365-day period, if there is a
possible acquisition or business combination or other transaction, business
development or event involving the Company that may require disclosure in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement and
the Company determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that such
disclosure is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders or
obtaining any financial statements relating to an acquisition or business
combination required to be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
or the Shelf Registration Statement would be impracticable.  In such a case, the
Company shall promptly notify any such Broker-Dealers of the suspension of the
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, provided that such notice shall not
require the Company to disclose the possible acquisition or business combination
or other transaction, business development or event if the Company determines in
good faith that such acquisition or business combination or other transaction,
business development or event should remain confidential.  Upon the abandonment,
consummation or termination of the possible acquisition or business combination
or other transaction, business development or event or the availability of the
required financial statements with respect to a possible acquisition or business
combination, the suspension of the use of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, pursuant to
this paragraph shall cease and the Company shall promptly notify such
Broker-Dealers that the use of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be,
as amended or supplemented, as applicable, may resume.  The Company shall
provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon written request, and in no
event later than one Business Day after such request, at any time during such
period.

The Indenture shall provide that the Securities and the Exchange Securities
shall vote and consent together on all matters as to which the Indenture
provides for voting and consent as one class and that neither the Securities nor
the Exchange Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate
class on any matter.

Interest on each Exchange Security issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange
Offer will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid
on the Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been
paid on the Securities, from the date of the closing of the Exchange Offer.

Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such Holder using the
Registered Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange
Securities (x) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of
this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission in Morgan Stanley and Co.,
Inc. (pub. avail. June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (pub.
avail. May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman &
Sterling dated July 2, 1993 and similar no-action letters, and (y) must comply
with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
in connection with any secondary resale transaction which must be covered by an
effective registration statement containing the selling security holder
information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K under
the Securities Act if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such
Holder in exchange for Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the
Company or one of its affiliates.  Accordingly, each Holder participating in the
Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that at
the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange
Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of
business, (ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any
person to participate, and is not participating, in the distribution of the
Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act,
(iii) such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company or, if it is such an
affiliate (as defined in Section 10(e)), such Holder will comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the
extent applicable, (iv) it is not acting on behalf of any person who, to its
knowledge, could not truthfully make the foregoing representations and (v) it
shall have made such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under
applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to render the use of Form
S-4 or another appropriate form under the Securities Act available or for the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective.  To the extent
permitted by law, upon the written request of the Initial Purchasers, the
Company shall inform the Initial Purchasers of the names and addresses of the
Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Initial Purchasers shall
have the right to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of
Securities in the Exchange Offer.

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement
thereto shall comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto shall not, when it becomes
effective, 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 and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, shall not,
as of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, include an untrue
statement of a material fact or 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 any Initial Purchaser determines that it is not eligible to participate in
the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the exchange of Securities
constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, at the written request of such
Initial Purchaser, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall issue and
deliver to such Initial Purchaser or the person purchasing Exchange Securities
registered under a Shelf Registration Statement (as contemplated by Section 2
hereof) from such Initial Purchaser, in exchange for such Securities, a like
principal amount of Exchange Securities.  The Company shall use its best efforts
to cause the CUSIP Service Bureau to issue the same CUSIP number for such
Exchange Securities as for Exchange Securities issued pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer.

2.  SHELF REGISTRATION.  IF (I) BECAUSE OF ANY CHANGE IN LAW OR APPLICABLE
INTERPRETATIONS THEREOF BY THE COMMISSION’S STAFF THE COMPANY IS NOT PERMITTED

EXCHANGE SECURITIES IN THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER, (IV) CERTAIN HOLDERS
(OTHER THAN THE INITIAL PURCHASERS) OF THE SECURITIES ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW OR
THE POLICY OF THE COMMISSION FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER
OR THE EXCHANGE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE FREELY TRANSFERABLE BY SUCH HOLDERS OTHER
THAN BY REASON OF SUCH HOLDER BEING AN AFFILIATE OF THE COMPANY (IT BEING
UNDERSTOOD THAT THE REQUIREMENT THAT A PARTICIPATING BROKER-DEALER DELIVER THE
PROSPECTUS CONTAINED IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN CONNECTION
WITH SALES OF EXCHANGE SECURITIES SHALL NOT RESULT IN SUCH EXCHANGE SECURITIES
BEING NOT “FREELY TRANSFERABLE”), OR (V) IN THE CASE OF ANY INITIAL PURCHASER

GUARANTORS SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO HAVE COMPLIED WITH THIS PARAGRAPH (B) IF ANY
OF THEM VOLUNTARILY TAKES ANY ACTION THAT WOULD RESULT IN HOLDERS OF TRANSFER
RESTRICTED SECURITIES COVERED THEREBY NOT BEING ABLE TO OFFER AND SELL SUCH
TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES DURING THAT PERIOD, UNLESS SUCH ACTION IS
REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

(C)  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS HEREOF, THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARY

INDEMNIFIED PARTY, CONTRIBUTE TO THE AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED
PARTY AS A RESULT OF SUCH LOSS, CLAIM, DAMAGE OR LIABILITY, OR ACTION IN RESPECT
THEREOF, (I) IN SUCH PROPORTION AS SHALL BE APPROPRIATE TO REFLECT THE RELATIVE
BENEFITS RECEIVED BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE
INDEMNIFYING PARTY, ON THE OTHER HAND, FROM THE INITIAL PLACEMENT AND THE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH RESULTED IN SUCH LOSS, CLAIM, DAMAGE OR LIABILITY,
OR ACTION IN RESPECT THEREOF, OR (II) IF THE ALLOCATION PROVIDED BY CLAUSE (I)
ABOVE IS NOT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH PROPORTION AS IS APPROPRIATE

RECEIVED BY THE COMPANY SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE EQUAL TO THE TOTAL NET PROCEEDS
FROM THE INITIAL PLACEMENT (BEFORE DEDUCTING EXPENSES) RECEIVED BY THE COMPANY,
AND BENEFITS RECEIVED BY THE INITIAL PURCHASERS SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE EQUAL TO
THE TOTAL PURCHASE DISCOUNTS AND COMMISSIONS IN EACH CASE SET FORTH ON THE COVER
OF THE FINAL MEMORANDUM.  BENEFITS RECEIVED BY ANY OTHER HOLDERS SHALL BE DEEMED
TO BE EQUAL TO THE VALUE OF RECEIVING SECURITIES OR EXCHANGE SECURITIES, AS
APPLICABLE, REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.  THE RELATIVE FAULT SHALL BE
DETERMINED BY REFERENCE TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, WHETHER THE UNTRUE OR ALLEGED
UNTRUE STATEMENT OF A MATERIAL FACT OR THE OMISSION OR ALLEGED OMISSION TO STATE
A MATERIAL FACT RELATES TO THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS OR
INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS ON THE ONE
HAND OR TO ANY HOLDER OR INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY SUCH HOLDER ON THE OTHER, THE
INTENT OF THE PARTIES AND THEIR RELATIVE KNOWLEDGE, ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND
OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT OR PREVENT SUCH UNTRUE STATEMENT OR OMISSION. THE PARTIES
HERETO AGREE THAT IT WOULD NOT BE JUST AND EQUITABLE IF CONTRIBUTIONS PURSUANT
TO THIS SECTION 7 WERE TO BE DETERMINED BY PRO RATA ALLOCATION OR BY ANY OTHER
METHOD OF ALLOCATION THAT DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE EQUITABLE
CONSIDERATIONS REFERRED TO HEREIN. THE AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY AN INDEMNIFIED
PARTY AS A RESULT OF THE LOSS, CLAIM, DAMAGE OR LIABILITY, OR ACTION IN RESPECT
THEREOF, REFERRED TO ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 7 SHALL BE DEEMED TO INCLUDE, FOR
PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION 7, ANY LEGAL OR OTHER EXPENSES REASONABLY INCURRED BY
SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH INVESTIGATING OR DEFENDING OR
PREPARING TO DEFEND ANY SUCH ACTION OR CLAIM.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS SECTION 7, AN INDEMNIFYING PARTY THAT IS A HOLDER OF SECURITIES OR EXCHANGE
SECURITIES SHALL NOT BE

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REQUIRED TO CONTRIBUTE ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT BY WHICH (A) WITH
RESPECT TO ANY HOLDER, THE TOTAL PRICE AT WHICH THE SECURITIES OR EXCHANGE
SECURITIES SOLD BY SUCH INDEMNIFYING PARTY TO ANY PURCHASER, (B) WITH RESPECT TO
A PURCHASER, THE TOTAL CONSIDERATION RECEIVED BY SUCH PURCHASER PURSUANT TO THE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT OF ANY DAMAGES WHICH
SUCH INDEMNIFYING PARTY HAS OTHERWISE PAID OR BECOME LIABLE TO PAY BY REASON OF
ANY 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 SECURITIES ACT) SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONTRIBUTION FROM ANY PERSON
WHO WAS NOT GUILTY OF SUCH FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION.

8.  RULES 144 AND 144A.   SO LONG AS TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES REMAIN
OUTSTANDING, THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS SHALL USE THEIR
REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS TO FILE THE REPORTS REQUIRED TO BE FILED BY IT UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND THE EXCHANGE ACT IN A TIMELY MANNER AND, IF AT ANY TIME THE
COMPANY IS NOT REQUIRED TO FILE SUCH REPORTS, IT AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS
WILL, UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY HOLDER OF TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES,
MAKE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE OTHER INFORMATION SO LONG AS NECESSARY TO PERMIT SALES
OF SUCH HOLDER’S SECURITIES PURSUANT TO RULES 144 AND 144A.  SO LONG AS TRANSFER
RESTRICTED SECURITIES REMAIN OUTSTANDING, THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARY
GUARANTORS COVENANT THAT AFTER JUNE 1, 2007, THEY WILL TAKE SUCH FURTHER ACTION
AS ANY HOLDER OF TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES MAY REASONABLY REQUEST, ALL TO
THE EXTENT REQUIRED FROM TIME TO TIME TO ENABLE SUCH HOLDER TO SELL TRANSFER
RESTRICTED SECURITIES WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT WITHIN THE
LIMITATION OF THE EXEMPTIONS PROVIDED BY RULES 144 AND 144A (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A(D)(4)).  SO LONG AS TRANSFER
RESTRICTED SECURITIES REMAIN OUTSTANDING, UPON THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY HOLDER
OF TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES, THE COMPANY SHALL DELIVER TO SUCH HOLDER A
WRITTEN STATEMENT AS TO WHETHER IT AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS HAVE COMPLIED
WITH SUCH REQUIREMENTS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 8
SHALL BE DEEMED TO REQUIRE THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR TO REGISTER
ANY OF ITS SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE ACT.

9.  UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS.  IF ANY OF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES
COVERED BY ANY SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT ARE TO BE SOLD IN AN UNDERWRITTEN
OFFERING, THE INVESTMENT BANKER OR INVESTMENT BANKERS AND MANAGER OR MANAGERS
THAT WILL ADMINISTER THE OFFERING WILL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY
IN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES INCLUDED IN
SUCH OFFERING, SUBJECT TO THE CONSENT OF THE COMPANY (WHICH SHALL NOT BE
UNREASONABLY WITHHELD OR DELAYED), AND SUCH HOLDERS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL
UNDERWRITING COMMISSIONS AND DISCOUNTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such
person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the
basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting

ANNEX A

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver
a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.  The
Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.  This prospectus, as it
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer
in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for
Securities where such Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result
of market-making activities or other trading activities.  The Company has agreed
that, starting on the Expiration Date (as defined herein) and ending on the
close of business 210 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this
prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such
resale.  See “Plan of Distribution”.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANNEX B

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Securities, where such Securities were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection
with any resale of such Exchange Securities.  See “Plan of Distribution”.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANNEX C

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver
a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.  This
prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in
exchange for Securities where such Securities were acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities.  The Company on behalf of
itself and the Subsidiary Guarantors has agreed that, starting on the Expiration
Date (as defined herein) and ending on the close of business 210 days after the
Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented,
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.  In
addition, until                               , 200    , all dealers effecting
transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus.

The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Securities
by broker-dealers.  Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own
account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time
in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a
combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time
of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated
prices.  Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through
brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or
concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange
Securities.  Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were
received by it for its own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and
any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange
Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the
Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any
commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be
underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal
states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of 210 days after the Expiration Date the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus
and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that
requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal.  The Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Registered
Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the Holders of the
Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any broker-dealers and will
indemnify the Holders of the Securities (including any broker-dealers) against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it
acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Securities; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an
“underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
