Statement covering an offer to the Holders to exchange all the Registrable

The Company and the Guarantors shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the

documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are
required by applicable law, substantially the following:

(i) that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that
all Registrable Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be
accepted for exchange;

(ii) the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at least
20 Business Days (in accordance with the Exchange Act) from the date such notice

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

As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be required
to represent to the Company and the Guarantors that (i) any Exchange Securities
to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business,
(ii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement
or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the
Securities Act, (iii) it is not an “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405
under the Securities Act) of the Company or any Guarantor and (iv) if such
Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to
engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities. Each Holder hereby
acknowledges and agrees that any broker-dealer and any such Holder using the
Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired
in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under SEC policy as in effect on the date of
this Agreement rely on the position of the SEC enunciated in Morgan Stanley and
Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation
(available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter to Shearman &
Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters, and (2) must comply
with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary
resale transaction should 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 if the resales are of Exchange Securities
obtained by such Holder in exchange for Registrable Securities acquired by such
Holder directly from the Company.

As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company and the
Guarantors shall:

(i) accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof validly
tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and

(ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all
Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the
Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and deliver to
each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to the principal
amount of the Registrable Securities tendered by such Holder.

The Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to
complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other
applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The
Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the

 

-7-

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

Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations
of the Staff and customary conditions relating to the delivery of Securities or
other actions customarily taken by Holders participating in the Exchange Offer
or the execution and delivery of customary documentation relating to the
Exchange Offer.

(b) In the event that (i) the Company and the Guarantors determine that the
Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available
or may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date
because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the
Staff, (ii) a Holder participating in the Exchange Offer does not receive
Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange that may be sold without
restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to
the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act) and notifies (a “Holder Notice”) the Company within 30 days
after such Holder first becomes aware of such restrictions, (iii) the Exchange
Offer is not for any other reason completed by the Target Registration Date or
(iv) upon receipt of a written request (a “Shelf Request”) from any Initial
Purchaser representing that it holds Registrable Securities that are or were
ineligible to be exchanged in the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors
shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed, as soon as
practicable after such determination, date, Holder Notice or Shelf Request, as
the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all
the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf
Registration Statement become effective.

In the event that the Company and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf
Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) of the preceding
sentence, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts
to file and have become effective both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf
Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of
Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after completion of the
Exchange Offer.

The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their reasonable best efforts to
keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier
of (i) such period as will terminate when the Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities and (ii) such time as
all the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (the “Shelf Effectiveness
Period”). The Company and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend
the Shelf Registration Statement, the related Prospectus and any Free Writing
Prospectus if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to
the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement
or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder or if
reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to
information relating to such Holder, and to use their reasonable best efforts to
cause any such amendment to become effective, if required, and such Shelf
Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may
be, to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company and the
Guarantors agree to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities registered
on such Shelf Registration Statement copies of any such supplement or amendment
promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.

 

-8-

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

(c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with any registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b)
hereof. Each Holder, including the Market Maker, shall pay all underwriting
discounts and commissions, brokerage commissions and transfer taxes, if any,
relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

(d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof
will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared
effective by the SEC. A Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b)
hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared
effective by the SEC or is automatically effective upon filing with the SEC as
provided by Rule 462 under the Securities Act.

In the event that either the Exchange Offer is not completed or the Shelf
Registration Statement, if required pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) or 2(b)(ii)
hereof, is not effective by the Target Registration Date, the interest rate on
the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the
first 90-day period immediately following the Target Registration Date and
(ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day
period, in each case until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf
Registration Statement, if required hereby, becomes effective, up to a maximum
total increase of 1.00% per annum. In the event that the Company receives a
Holder Notice or Shelf Request pursuant to Section 2(b)(iii) or 2(b)(iv), and
the Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed thereby has not become
effective by the later of the Target Registration Date or (y) 90 days after
delivery of such Holder Notice or Shelf Request (such later date, the “Shelf
Additional Interest Date”), then the interest rate on the Registrable Securities
will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period payable
commencing from one day after the Shelf Additional Interest Date and (ii) an
additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, in
each case until the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, up to a
maximum total increase of 1.00% per annum.

If the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is effective and
thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein
ceases to be usable, in each case whether or not permitted by this Agreement, at
any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such failure to remain
effective or usable exists for more than 30 days (whether or not consecutive) in
any 12-month period (the 30th such date, the “Trigger Date”), then the interest
rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for
the first 90-day period immediately following the Trigger Date and (ii) an
additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, up to
a maximum increase of 1.0% per annum, and ending on such date that the Shelf
Registration Statement is again effective or the Prospectus again becomes
usable.

(e) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the
Holders, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by the
Company or the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Section 2(a)
and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial
Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it
will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in
the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain
such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the
Guarantors’ obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

(c) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of Registrable
Securities covered in such Shelf Registration Statement agrees that, upon
receipt of any notice from the Company and the Guarantors of the happening of
any event of the kind described in Section 3(a)(vi)(3) or 3(a)(vi)(5) hereof,

(d) If the Company and the Guarantors shall give any notice to suspend the

Company and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which such

Registration Statement on such Holder’s behalf, will make any offer relating to
the Registrable Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing

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

4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer.

(a) The Company has been advised that the Staff has taken the position that any
broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the
Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a
“Participating Broker-Dealer”) may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the
meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such
Exchange Securities.

The Company and the Guarantors have been advised that it is the Staff’s position
that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and
the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange
Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the
amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by
Participating Broker-Dealers (or, to the extent permitted by law, made available
to purchasers) to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the
Securities Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own
accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the
Securities Act.

(b) In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors agree to use their reasonable best
efforts to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days after
the date the Exchange Offer Registration Statement becomes effective (as such
period may be extended pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Agreement) and (ii) the
date on which each Participating Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver
a prospectus in connection with market making or other trading activities, in
each case to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales.
The Company and the Guarantors further consent to the delivery of such
Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by law, agree to make available) by
Participating Broker-Dealers during such period in connection with the resales
contemplated by this Section 4.

(c) The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company, any Guarantor
or any Holder with respect to any such request that they may make pursuant to
Section 4(b) above.

5. Market Making.

(a) For so long as any of the Securities or Exchange Securities are outstanding
and Wells Fargo (in such capacity, the “Market Maker”) or any of its affiliates
(as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC) owns any equity securities
of the Company, the Guarantors or any of their affiliates and proposes to make a
market in the Securities or Exchange Securities as part of its business in the
ordinary course, the following provisions shall apply for the sole benefit of
the Market Maker:

(i) The Company and the Guarantors shall (A) on the date that the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or, if required hereby, the Shelf Registration Statement
is filed with the SEC, file a registration statement (the “Market Making
Registration Statement”) (which may be the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
or the Shelf Registration

 

-16-

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

Statement if permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC) and use their
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Market Making Registration
Statement to become effective on or prior to the consummation of the Exchange
Offer or the initial effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, as
applicable; (B) periodically amend such Market Making Registration Statement so
that the information contained therein complies with the requirements of
Section 10(a) under the Securities Act; (C) amend the Market Making Registration
Statement or amend or supplement the related Prospectus when necessary to
reflect any material changes in the information provided therein; and (D) amend
the Market Making Registration Statement when required to do so in order to
comply with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; provided, however, that
(1) prior to filing the Market Making Registration Statement, any amendment
thereto, any Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the
related Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus, the Company will furnish to the
Market Maker copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents
will be subject to the review of the Market Maker and its counsel and (2) the
Company and the Guarantors will not file the Market Making Registration
Statement, any amendment thereto, any Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment
or supplement to the related Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus to which the
Market Maker and its counsel shall reasonably object unless the Company is
advised by counsel that such Market Making Registration Statement or Free
Writing Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement is required to be filed
under applicable securities laws and the Company will provide the Market Maker
and its counsel with copies of the Market Making Registration Statement and any
Free Writing Prospectus and each amendment and supplement filed. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors may suspend the offering and sale
under a Market Making Registration Statement for a period or periods the Company
reasonably determines to be advisable for valid business reasons, but in any
event no such period shall be in excess of 45 days and not more than two
(2) times during any calendar year during which such Market Making Registration
Statement is required to be effective and usable hereunder (measured from the
effectiveness date of such Market Making Registration Statement to successive
anniversaries thereof) if (A) (i) the Company determines in good faith that such
action is in the best interests of the Company or (ii) such Market Making
Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or
supplement thereto contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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, and
(B) the Company notifies the Market Maker within five business days before the
effectiveness of such suspension.

(ii) The Company shall notify the Market Maker and, if requested by the Market
Maker, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when any Market Making Registration
Statement, any post-effective amendment to the Market Making Registration
Statement, any Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the
related Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus has been filed, and, with respect
to any Market Making Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment,
when the same has become effective; (B) of any request by the SEC for any
post-effective amendment to the Market Making Registration Statement, any
supplement or amendment to the related Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus
or for additional information; (C) the issuance by the SEC of any

receipt by the Company of any notice of objection of the SEC to the use of the

Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of the Securities or Exchange Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose; and (E) of the
happening of any event that makes any statement made in the Market Making
Registration Statement, the related Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto untrue or that requires the making of any
changes in the Market Making Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such
Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, in order to make the
statements therein not misleading.

(iii) If any event contemplated by Section 5(a)(ii)(B) through (E) hereof occurs
during the period for which the Company and the Guarantors are required to
maintain an effective Market Making Registration Statement, the Company and the
Guarantors shall, subject to Section 5(a)(i) hereof, promptly prepare and file
with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Market Making Registration
Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or Free
Writing Prospectus or file any other required document so that the Prospectus or
any Free Writing Prospectus will not 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.

(iv) In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Market Making Registration Statement, any notice of objection pursuant to
Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act or any order suspending the
qualification of the Securities or Exchange Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, the Company and the Guarantors shall promptly use their
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order or the
resolution of such objection, including by filing an amendment to the Market
Making Registration Statement on the proper form as necessary.

(v) The Company shall furnish to the Market Maker, without charge, (A) at least
one conformed copy of the Market Making Registration Statement and any
post-effective amendment thereto; and (B) as many copies of the related
Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto
as the Market Maker may reasonably request.

(vi) The Company and the Guarantors shall consent to the use of the Prospectus

cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company and the
Guarantors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by such
representative or counsel or the Market Maker; provided that each Person

and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including,
without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with
any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses
are incurred), that arise out of, or are based upon, any breach by the Company
of its representations, warranties and agreements contained in Section 5. In
connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company
and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will also indemnify the Underwriters,
if any, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons
(within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same
extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if
requested in connection with any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any
Free Writing Prospectus or any Issuer Information.

(b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the other
selling Holders, the directors of the Company and the Guarantors, each officer
of the Company and the Guarantors who signed the Registration Statement and each
Person, if any, who controls the Company, the Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser
and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set
forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to
the Company in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in any
Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus.

(c) The Market Maker agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the
Guarantors, the directors of the Company and the Guarantors and each officer of
the Company and the Guarantors who signed the Market Making Registration
Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph
(a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity
with any Market Maker’s Information furnished to the Company in writing by the
Market Maker expressly for use in any Market Making Registration Statement, any
Prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus.

(d) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory
investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person
in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph
(a), (b) or (c) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly
notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the
“Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the
Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have
under paragraph (a) , (b) or (c) above except to the extent that it has been
materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses)
by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the
Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to
an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) , (b) or (c). If any
such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and
it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person
shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to
represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification
pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such
proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay
the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred.
In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain
its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the
Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with
any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall
be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for the Market
Maker or any Initial Purchaser or their respective affiliates, directors and
officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser or the Market Maker
shall be designated in writing by Wells Fargo, (y) for any Holder, its directors
and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in
writing by the Majority Holders and (z) in all other cases shall be designated
in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying
Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have
been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement
(A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not
include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure
to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

 

-23-

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

(e) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above is
unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying
Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person
thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Merger
Sub, the Company and the Guarantors from the offering of the Securities and the
Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving
Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act or the
Market Maker, on the other hand, 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) but also the
relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders
or the Market Maker on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and
the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders or the Market Maker on the other
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 information supplied by the Company and the
Guarantors or by the Holders or the Market Maker Information, as applicable, and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(f) The Company, the Guarantors, the Holders and the Market Maker agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (e) above. The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or
other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such
action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, in no event
shall a Holder or the Market Maker be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or
Exchange Securities sold by such Holder or the Securities sold by the Market
Maker exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 6 are several and not joint.

(g) The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not
limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified
Person at law or in equity.

(h) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination
of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial
Purchasers, the Market Maker or any Holder or any Person controlling any Initial
Purchaser, the Market Maker or any Holder, or by or

 

-24-

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

on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors or the officers or directors of or
any Person controlling the Company or the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of
the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to
a Shelf Registration Statement or the Market Making Registration Statement.

7. General.

(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and the Guarantors represent,
warrant and agree that (i) the rights granted to the Holders or the Market Maker
hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the
rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or
guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor under any other agreement and
(ii) neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into, or on or after the
date of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with
the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities or the Market Maker
in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

(b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given
unless the Company and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement,
waiver or consent and with respect to the provisions of Section 5, the written
consent of the Market Maker; provided that no amendment, modification,
supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 7
hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities or the
Market Maker unless consented to in writing by such Holder or the Market Maker,
as applicable. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or consents
pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of the
parties hereto.

(c) Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices and other
communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by
hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier
guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address
given by such Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 7(c), which address initially is, with
respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase
Agreement; (ii) if to the Company and the Guarantors, initially at the Company’s
address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other
address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 7(c); (iii) if to the Market Maker, initially at its address set forth
in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which
is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(c) and (iv) if to
such other persons, at their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase
Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(c). All such notices and
communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by
hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the
mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt
is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered
to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. Copies of all such notices,
demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person
giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.

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

(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties,
including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment,
subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any
assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation
of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee of
any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject
to all the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable
Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound
by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such
Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. The Initial Purchasers
(in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation
to the Company or the Guarantors with respect to any failure by a Holder to
comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such
Holder under this Agreement.

(e) Third-Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third-party beneficiary to
the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers and the Market Maker, on the other hand, and
shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems
such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of
other Holders hereunder.

(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed on counterparts (which may
include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each
of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.

(g) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only, are not a part of this Agreement and shall not limit or otherwise affect
the meaning hereof.

(h) Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising
under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(i) Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. If any term, provision,
covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public
policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions
contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial
Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
void or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, void or unenforceable
provisions.
