 2. Registration Under the Securities Act.
     a. Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Issuers agree to file
        under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable, but no later than 90
        days after the Closing Date, a registration statement relating to an
        offer to exchange (such registration statement, the "Exchange Offer
        Registration Statement", and such offer, the "Exchange Offer") any and
        all of the Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of notes issued
        by the Issuers, which notes are substantially identical in all material
        respects to the Notes (and are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture
        which has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), except that
        they have been registered pursuant to an effective registration
        statement under the Securities Act and do not contain provisions for the
        additional interest contemplated in Section 2(c) below (such notes
        hereinafter called "Exchange Notes"). The Issuers agree to use their
        reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration
        Statement to become or be declared effective under the Securities Act as
        soon as practicable, but no later than 210 days after the Closing Date.
        The Exchange Offer will be registered under the Securities Act on the
        appropriate form and will comply with the Exchange Act. The Issuers
        further agree to use their reasonable best efforts to complete the
        Exchange Offer promptly (but no later than 35 business days or longer,
        if required by the federal securities laws, after such registration
        statement has become effective), hold the Exchange Offer open for at
        least 20 business days (calculated in accordance with the Exchange Act)
        and exchange Exchange Notes for all Registrable Securities that have
        been properly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration
        of the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been
        "completed" only if the Exchange Notes received by holders, other than
        Restricted Holders, in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Registrable
        Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without
        restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without
        material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of a
        substantial majority of the States of the United States of America. The
        Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon the earlier
        to occur of (i) the Issuers having exchanged the Exchange Notes for all
        outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer and
        (ii) the Issuers having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer,
        Exchange Notes for all Registrable Securities that have been properly
        tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the Exchange Offer.
        The Issuers agree (x) to include in the Exchange Offer Registration
        Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange
        Notes that is a broker-dealer and (y) to keep such Exchange Offer
        Registration Statement effective for a period (the "Resale Period")
        beginning when Exchange Notes are first issued in the Exchange Offer and
        ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the 180th day after the
        Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such broker-dealers no
        longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange
        Offer Registration Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the
        rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in Sections 6(a),
        (c), (d) and (e) hereof.
     b. If (i) on or prior to the time the Exchange Offer is completed, existing
        law or Commission policy or interpretations are changed such that the
        Exchange Notes received by holders, other than Restricted Holders, in
        the Exchange Offer in exchange for Registrable Securities are not or
        would not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without
        restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange Offer has not
        been completed within 240 days following the Closing Date, (iii) the
        Exchange Offer is not available to any holder of the Notes, or the
        Exchange Notes received by any Restricted Holder in the Exchange Offer
        are not transferable without restriction under the Securities Act, or
        (iv) at the time the Exchange Offer is completed, any Notes are held by
        a Restricted Holder, the Issuers shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of
        clause (iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated
        by Section 2(a), file under the Securities Act, on or prior to
        30 business days after the time such obligation to file arises, a
        "shelf" registration statement providing for the registration of, and
        the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the
        Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that
        may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the "Shelf Registration"
        and such registration statement, the "Shelf Registration Statement").
        The Issuers agree to use their reasonable best efforts (x) to cause the
        Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective by the
        Commission no later than 90 days after such obligation to file arises
        (provided that if at the time the transactions contemplated by the
        Exchange Agreements are completed, any Notes are issued to a Restricted
        Holder, the Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the
        Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective by the
        Commission no later than the date on which the Exchange Offer is
        completed) and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously
        effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the second
        anniversary of the Effective Time or (ii) such time as there are no
        longer any Registrable Securities outstanding; provided, however, that
        no holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in
        the Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part
        thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder is an
        Electing Holder, and (y) after the Effective Time of the Shelf
        Registration Statement, promptly upon the request of any holder of
        Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, to take any
        action reasonably necessary to enable such holder to use the prospectus
        forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities, including,
        without limitation, any action necessary to identify such holder as a
        selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement, provided,
        however, that nothing in this clause (y) shall relieve any such holder
        of the obligation to return a completed and signed Notice and
        Questionnaire to the Issuers in accordance with Section 3(d)(iii)
        hereof. The Issuers further agree to supplement or make amendments to
        the Shelf Registration Statement, as and when required by the rules,
        regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by
        the Issuers for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities
        Act for shelf registration, and the Issuers agree to furnish to each
        Electing Holder copies of any such supplement or amendment prior to its
        being used or promptly following its filing with the Commission.
     c. In the event that (i) the Issuers have not filed the Exchange Offer
        Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement on or before the
        date on which such registration statement is required to be filed
        pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b), respectively, or (ii) such Exchange
        Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement has not
        become effective or been declared effective by the Commission on or
        before the date on which such registration statement is required to
        become or be declared effective pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b),
        respectively, or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within
        35 business days after the initial effective date of the Exchange Offer
        Registration Statement relating to the Exchange Offer (if the Exchange
        Offer is then required to be made) or (iv) any Exchange Offer
        Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement required by
        Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof is filed and becomes or is declared
        effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the Issuers or
        shall become subject to an effective stop order issued pursuant to
        Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such
        registration statement (except as specifically permitted herein) without
        being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement
        filed and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i)
        through (iv), a "Registration Default" and each period during which a
        Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, a "Registration
        Default Period"), then, as liquidated damages for such Registration
        Default, in addition to the provisions of Section 9(b), special interest
        ("Special Interest"), in addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue on
        the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes at a per annum
        rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period,
        at a per annum rate of 0.50% for the second 90 days of the Registration
        Default Period, at a per annum rate of 0.75% for the third 90 days of
        the Registration Default Period and at a per annum rate of 1.0%
        thereafter for the remaining portion of the Registration Default Period.
        All accrued Special Interest shall be paid in cash by the Issuers on
        each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture). Following the
        cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of Special Interest shall
        cease.
     d. The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions
        necessary or advisable to be taken by them to ensure that the
        transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated in
        Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof.
     e. Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any time shall be
        deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be
        incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any reference
        herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement as of
        any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed
        to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time.

 3. Registration Procedures.

    If the Issuers file a registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a) or
    Section 2(b), the following provisions shall apply:

     a. At or before the Effective Time of the Exchange Offer or the Shelf
        Registration, as the case may be, the Issuers shall cause the Indenture
        to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.
     b. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a
        new trustee under the Indenture, the Issuers shall appoint a new trustee
        thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture.
     c. In connection with the Issuers' obligations with respect to the
        registration of Exchange Notes as contemplated by Section 2(a) (the
        "Exchange Offer Registration"), if applicable, the Issuers shall, as
        soon as practicable (or as otherwise specified):
         i.    prepare and file with the Commission, as soon as practicable but
               no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, an Exchange Offer
               Registration Statement on any form which may be utilized by the
               Issuers and which shall permit the Exchange Offer and resales of
               Exchange Notes by broker-dealers during the Resale Period to be
               effected as contemplated by Section 2(a), and use their
               reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration
               Statement to become or be declared effective as soon as
               practicable thereafter, but no later than 210 days after the
               Closing Date;
         ii.   as soon as practicable prepare and file with the Commission such

               Registration Statement for the periods and purposes contemplated
               in Section 2(a) hereof and as may be required by the applicable
               rules and regulations of the Commission and the instructions
               applicable to the form of such Exchange Offer Registration
               Statement, and promptly provide each broker-dealer holding
               Exchange Notes with such number of copies of the prospectus
               included therein (as then amended or supplemented), in conformity
               in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities
               Act and the Trust Indenture Act, as such broker-dealer reasonably
               may request prior to the expiration of the Resale Period, for use
               in connection with resales of Exchange Notes;
         iii.  promptly notify each broker-dealer holding Exchange Notes that
               has requested or received copies of the prospectus included in
               such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and confirm such
               advice in writing, (A) when such Exchange Offer Registration
               Statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus
               amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment has been
               filed, and, with respect to such Exchange Offer Registration
               Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has
               become effective, (B) of any comments by the Commission and by
               the blue sky or securities commissioner or regulator of any state
               with respect thereto, or any request by the Commission for
               amendments or supplements to such Exchange Offer Registration
               Statement or prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the
               issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
               effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement or
               the initiation or, to the knowledge of the Issuers, threatening
               of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) if at any time the
               representations and warranties of the Issuers contemplated by
               Section 5 hereof cease to be true and correct in all material
               respects, (E) of the receipt by the Issuers of any notification
               with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the

               to the knowledge of the Issuers, threatening of any proceeding
               for such purpose, or (F) at any time during the Resale Period
               when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the
               Securities Act, that such Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
               prospectus, prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective
               amendment does not conform in all material respects to the
               applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust
               Indenture Act, or contains an untrue statement of a material fact
               or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein
               or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
               light of the circumstances then existing;
         iv.   in the event that the Issuers would be required, pursuant to
               Section 3(c)(iii)(F) above, to notify any such broker-dealer
               holding Exchange Notes, the Issuers shall, as promptly as
               practicable, but in any event within ten days, prepare and
               furnish to each such holder a reasonable number of copies of a
               prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter
               delivered to purchasers of such Exchange Notes during the Resale
               Period, such prospectus conforms in all material respects to the
               applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust
               Indenture Act and shall 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 in light of the circumstances then existing;
         v.    use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any
               order suspending the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer
               Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto as
               soon as practicable;
         vi.   use their reasonable best efforts to (A) register or qualify the
               Exchange Notes under the securities laws or blue sky laws of such
               jurisdictions as are contemplated by Section 2(a) no later than
               the commencement of the Exchange Offer, (B) keep such
               registrations or qualifications in effect and comply with such
               laws so as to permit the continuance of offers, sales and
               dealings therein in such jurisdictions until the expiration of
               the Resale Period and (C) take any and all other actions as may
               be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each broker-dealer

               such jurisdictions; provided, however, that neither of the
               Issuers shall be required for any such purpose to (1) qualify as
               a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as the case
               may be, in any jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be
               required to qualify but for the requirements of this
               Section 3(c)(vi), (2) consent to general service of process in
               any such jurisdiction or (3) make any changes to its certificate
               of incorporation or by-laws (or other organizational document) or
               any agreement between it and holders of its ownership interests;
         vii.  use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent or
               approval of each governmental agency or authority, whether
               federal, state or local, which may be required to effect the
               Exchange Offer Registration, the Exchange Offer and the offering
               and sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers during the Resale
               Period;
         viii. provide a CUSIP number for all Exchange Notes, not later than the
               applicable Effective Time;
         ix.   comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the

               as soon as practicable, but no later than eighteen months after
               the effective date of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
               an earning statement of the Company and its subsidiaries
               complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including, at
               the option of the Company, Rule 158 thereunder);
         x.    mail to each holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the
               Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an
               appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;
         xi.   utilize the services of a depositary for the Exchange Offer with
               an address in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City, which
               may be the Trustee, any new trustee under the Indenture, or an
               affiliate of any of them;
         xii.  permit holders to withdraw tendered Notes at any time prior to
               the close of business, New York time, on the last business day on
               which the Exchange Offer is open; and
         xiii. prior to the Effective Time, provide a supplemental letter to the
               Commission (i) stating that the Issuers are conducting the
               Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission in
               Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (pub. avail. May 13, 1988),
               Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (pub. avail. June 5, 1991); and (ii)
               including a representation that the Issuers have not entered into
               any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute
               the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that,
               to the best of the Issuers' information and belief, each holder
               participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange
               Notes in the ordinary course of business and has no arrangement
               or understanding with any person to participate in the
               distribution of the Exchange Notes.
    
        In addition, as soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange

        authenticate and deliver to each holder a principal amount of Exchange
        Notes equal to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities of
        such Holder so accepted for exchange.
    
     d. In connection with the Issuers' obligations with respect to the Shelf
        Registration, if applicable, the Issuers shall, as soon as practicable

                holders thereof in accordance with such method or methods of
                disposition as may be specified by such of the holders as, from
                time to time, may be Electing Holders, and use their reasonable
                best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to

                and no holder shall be entitled to use the prospectus forming a
                part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities at any time,
                unless such holder has returned a completed and signed Notice
                and Questionnaire to the Issuers by the deadline for response
                set forth therein; provided, however, that holders of

                Questionnaire to the Issuers;
         iii.   upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is
                not then an Electing Holder, promptly send a Notice and

                not be required to take any action to name such holder as a
                selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to

                of its inclusion in such registration statement or otherwise,
                except as a result of a breach of this or any other obligation
                of confidentiality to the Issuers), or (B) such person shall be

                Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or
                supplement, as the case may be, complies with applicable
                requirements of the federal securities laws and the rules and
                regulations of the Commission and does not contain an untrue
                statement of a material fact or omit to state therein a material
                fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
                statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
                then existing;
         viii.  promptly notify each of the Electing Holders, any sales or
                placement agent therefor and any underwriter thereof (which

                is a representative of such underwriter for such purpose) and
                confirm such advice in writing, (A) when such Shelf Registration
                Statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus
                amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment has been
                filed, and, with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement or

                effective, (B) of any comments by the Commission and by the blue
                sky or securities commissioner or regulator of any state with
                respect thereto, or any request by the Commission for amendments
                or supplements to such Shelf Registration Statement or
                prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance by
                the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
                such Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation or, to the
                knowledge of the Issuers, threatening of any proceedings for
                that purpose, (D) if at any time the representations and
                warranties of the Issuers contemplated by Section 3(d)(xvii) or
                Section 5 hereof cease to be true and correct in all material
                respects, (E) of the receipt by the Issuers of any notification

                conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements
                of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, or contains
                an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
                material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
                the statements therein not misleading in light of the
                circumstances then existing;
         ix.    use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of
                any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf
                Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
                as soon as practicable;
         x.     if requested by any managing underwriter or underwriters, any
                placement or sales agent or any Electing Holder, promptly

                agent or underwriter, the offering price of such Registrable
                Securities, and any discount, commission or other compensation
                payable in respect thereof and the purchase price being paid
                therefor by such underwriters and (ii) with respect to any other
                material terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to
                be sold by such Electing Holder or agent or to such
                underwriters; and make all required filings of such prospectus
                supplement or post-effective amendment upon notification of the
                matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or

                requested by such Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, as the
                case may be) and of the prospectus included in such Shelf
                Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus
                and any summary prospectus), in conformity in all material

                underwriter to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements of
                the Securities Act; and the Issuers hereby consent to the use of
                such prospectus (including such preliminary and summary
                prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto by each such

                jurisdictions as any Electing Holder and each placement or sales
                agent, if any, therefor and underwriter, if any, thereof shall
                reasonably request, (B) keep such registrations or
                qualifications in effect and comply with such laws so as to
                permit the continuance of offers, sales and dealings therein in
                such jurisdictions during the period the Shelf Registration is
                required to remain effective under Section 2(b) above and for so
                long as may be necessary to enable any such Electing Holder,
                agent or underwriter to complete its distribution of Notes
                pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement and (C) take any
                and all other actions as may be reasonably necessary or

                jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities; provided, however,

                to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or limited liability
                company, as the case may be, in any jurisdiction wherein it
                would not otherwise be required to qualify but for the
                requirements of this Section 3(d)(xii), (2) consent to general
                service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) make any
                changes to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or other
                organizational document) or any agreement between it and holders
                of its ownership interests;
         xiii.  use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent or
                approval of each governmental agency or authority, whether
                federal, state or local, which may be required to effect the
                Shelf Registration or the offering or sale in connection
                therewith or to enable the selling holder or holders to offer,
                or to consummate the disposition of, their Registrable
                Securities;
         xiv.   unless any Registrable Securities shall be in book-entry only
                form, cooperate with the Electing Holders and the managing
                underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and
                delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to
                be sold, which certificates, if so required by any securities
                exchange upon which any Registrable Securities are listed, shall
                be penned, lithographed or engraved, or produced by any
                combination of such methods, on steel engraved borders, and

                substance of the amendment or waiver proposed or effected, as
                the case may be;
         xix.   in the event that any broker-dealer registered under the
                Exchange Act shall underwrite any Registrable Securities or

                Conduct Rules (the "Conduct Rules") of the National Association
                of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or any successor thereto,
                as amended from time to time) thereof, whether as a holder of
                such Registrable Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or
                sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or
                otherwise, assist such broker-dealer in complying with the
                requirements of such Conduct Rules, including by (A) if such
                Conduct Rules shall so require, engaging a "qualified
                independent underwriter" (as defined in such Conduct Rules) to
                participate in the preparation of the Shelf Registration
                Statement relating to such Registrable Securities, to exercise
                usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any
                portion of the offering contemplated by such Shelf Registration
                Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a
                placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such
                Registrable Securities, (B) indemnifying any such qualified
                independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of
                underwriters provided in Section 6 hereof (or to such other
                customary extent as may be requested by such underwriter), and
                (C) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be
                required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the
                requirements of the Conduct Rules; and
         xx.    comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
                Commission, and make generally available to its securityholders
                as soon as practicable but in any event not later than eighteen
                months after the effective date of such Shelf Registration
                Statement, an earning statement of the Company and its
                subsidiaries complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
                (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158 thereunder).
    
     e. In the event that the Issuers would be required, pursuant to
        Section 3(d)(viii)(F) above, to notify the Electing Holders, the
        placement or sales agent, if any, therefor and the managing
        underwriters, if any, thereof, the Issuers shall, as promptly as
        practicable, but in any event within ten days, prepare and furnish to
        each of the Electing Holders, to each placement or sales agent, if any,
        and to each such underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of copies of a
        prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to
        purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus conforms in all
        material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act
        and the Trust Indenture Act, and shall 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 in light of the circumstances then existing. Each Electing
        Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Issuers pursuant
        to Section 3(d)(viii)(F) hereof, such Electing Holder shall forthwith
        discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
        Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable Securities
        until such Electing Holder shall have received copies of such amended or
        supplemented prospectus, and if so directed by the Issuers, such
        Electing Holder shall deliver to the Issuers (at the Issuers' expense)
        all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Electing
        Holder's possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable
        Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.
     f. In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the information
        required to be provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice and
        Questionnaire, the Issuers may require such Electing Holder to furnish
        to the Issuers such additional information regarding such Electing
        Holder and such Electing Holder's intended method of distribution of
        Registrable Securities as may be required in order to comply with the
        Securities Act. Each such Electing Holder agrees to notify the Issuers
        as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information
        previously furnished by such Electing Holder to the Issuers or of the
        occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any
        prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration contains or would contain
        an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Electing Holder or
        such Electing Holder's intended method of disposition of such
        Registrable Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding
        such Electing Holder or such Electing Holder's intended method of
        disposition of such Registrable Securities required to be stated therein
        or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
        the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to the Issuers
        any additional information required to correct and update any previously
        furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall not
        contain, with respect to such Electing Holder or the disposition of such
        Registrable Securities, 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 in light of the circumstances
        then existing.

        any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided,
        however, that no such Electing Holder or holder that is a broker-dealer
        selling Exchange Notes pursuant to the penultimate sentence of
        Section 2(a) shall be required to undertake liability to any person
        under this Section 6(b) for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount
        of the proceeds to be received by such Electing Holder or holder from
        the sale of such Electing Holder's or holder's Registrable Securities
        pursuant to such registration.
     c. Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
        under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the commencement
        of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
        thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the
        indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify
        such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
        failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from
        any liability which it may have to any indemnified party except to the
        extent actually prejudiced thereby. In case any such action shall be
        brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an
        indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party
        shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it
        shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
        notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
        satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
        consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party),
        and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
        of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying
        party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal
        expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
        subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the
        defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall
        have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but
        the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
        indemnified party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel
        shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying parties in
        connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying
        parties shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defense of
        such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the
        action or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably
        concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them that are
        different from or additional to those available to one or all of the
        indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying party or parties
        shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf
        of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees
        and expenses of counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying parties;
        provided, that the indemnifying parties shall only be liable for the
        legal expenses of one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all
        indemnified parties in each jurisdiction in which any claim or action is
        brought. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the
        indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to
        the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened
        action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may
        be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual
        or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement,
        compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the
        indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action 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. Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions
        contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or
        insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any
        losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
        referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
        the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
        losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
        in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
        the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the
        statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages
        or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other
        relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
        indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by
        reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
        statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
        material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party
        or by such indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent,
        knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
        such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not
        be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d)
        were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any
        agents or underwriters or all of them 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 in this
        Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
        result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
        respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal
        or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
        in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
        Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no holder shall be
        required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
        dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of
        any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and
        commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which
        such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue
        or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no
        underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
        amount by which the total price at which the Registrable 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 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' and
        any underwriters' obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall
        be several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable
        Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them and
        not joint.
     e. Remedy not Exclusive. The obligations of the Issuers under this
        Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuers may
        otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to
        each officer, director and partner of each holder, agent and underwriter
        and each person, if any, who controls any holder, agent or underwriter
        within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the
        Purchasers, the holders and any agents or underwriters contemplated by
        this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the
        respective Purchaser, holder, agent or underwriter may otherwise have
        and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer
        (including any officer who signed any registration statement), director,
        employee, representative or agent of the Issuers and to each person, if
        any, who controls the Issuers within the meaning of the Securities Act.

 7. Underwritten Offerings.
     a. Selection of Underwriters. If any of the Registrable Securities covered
        by the Shelf Registration are to be sold pursuant to an underwritten
        offering, the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be
        designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate
        principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such
        offering, provided that such designated managing underwriter or
        underwriters is or are reasonably acceptable to the Issuers.
     b. Participation by Holders. Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby
        agrees with each other such holder that no such holder may participate
        in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such holder (i) agrees to
        sell such holder's Registrable Securities on the basis 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 agreements
        and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
        underwriting arrangements.

 8. Rule 144.

    Each of the Issuers covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that
    to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, it shall
    timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or
    the Securities Act (including the reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the
    Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the
    Commission under the Securities Act), and shall take such further action as
    any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the
    extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable
    Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
    limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
    or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
    Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in
    connection with that holder's sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Issuers shall
    deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied
    with such requirements.

 9. Miscellaneous.
     a. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuers represent, warrant, covenant and
        agree that they have not granted, and shall not grant, registration
        rights with respect to Registrable Securities or any other Notes which
        would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this Exchange and
        Registration Rights Agreement.
     b. Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be
        no adequate remedy at law if the Issuers fail to perform any of their
        obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time
        to time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any
        such failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such
        holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled
        at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of
        the obligations of the Issuers under this Exchange and Registration
        Rights Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
        Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, in any court of the United
        States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.
     c. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other
        communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
        been duly given (i) when delivered by hand, if delivered personally or
        by courier, (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of
        receipt), provided that a copy is mailed by registered or certified
        mail, return receipt requested or (iii) three days after being deposited
        in the mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
        receipt requested) as follows: If to the Issuers, c/o CCH II, LLC, 12405
        Powerscourt Drive, St. Louis, Missouri, 63131, Attention: Secretary, and
        if to a holder, to the address of such holder set forth in the security
        register or other records of the Issuers, or to such other address as
        the Issuers or any such holder may have furnished to the other in
        writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address
        shall be effective only upon receipt.
     d. Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this Exchange and
        Registration Rights Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the
        benefit of and shall be enforceable, by the parties hereto and the
        holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the
        respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and such
        holders. In the event that any transferee of any holder of Registrable
        Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether
        by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such
        transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be
        deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable
        Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Exchange
        and Registration Rights Agreement, and by taking and holding such
        Registrable Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the
        benefits, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all
        of the applicable terms and provisions, of this Exchange and
        Registration Rights Agreement. If the Issuers shall so request, any such
        successor, assign or transferee shall agree in writing to acquire and
        hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the applicable terms
        hereof.
     e. Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations,
        warranties and each other provision set forth in this Exchange and
        Registration Rights Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in
        full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as
        to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any holder of
        Registrable Securities, any director, officer or partner of such holder,
        any agent or underwriter or any director, officer or partner thereof, or
        any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive
        delivery of and payment for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the
        Exchange Agreements and the Purchase Agreements and the transfer and
        registration of Registrable Securities by such holder and the
        consummation of an Exchange Offer.
     f. Governing Law. This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement shall be
        governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
        New York.
     g. Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Sections and
        paragraphs of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement are
        inserted for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Exchange
        and Registration Rights Agreement and shall not affect in any way the
        meaning or interpretation of this Exchange and Registration Rights
        Agreement.
     h. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Exchange and Registration Rights
        Agreement and the other writings referred to herein (including the
        Indenture and the form of Notes) or delivered pursuant hereto which form
        a part hereof contain the entire understanding of the parties with
        respect to its subject matter. This Exchange and Registration Rights
        Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the
        parties with respect to its subject matter. This Exchange and
        Registration Rights Agreement may be amended and the observance of any
        term of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement may be waived
        (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
        or prospectively) only by a written instrument duly executed by the
        Issuers and the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
        amount of the Registrable Securities at the time outstanding, provided
        that no such amendment or waiver shall materially and disproportionately
        adversely affect the rights of any Restricted Holder under this Exchange
        and Registration Rights Agreement without the consent of such Restricted
        Holder. Each holder of any Registrable Securities at the time or
        thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any amendment or waiver
        effected pursuant to this Section 9(h), whether or not any notice,
        writing or marking indicating such amendment or waiver appears on such
        Registrable Securities or is delivered to such holder.
     i. Inspection. For so long as this Exchange and Registration Rights
        Agreement shall be in effect, this Exchange and Registration Rights
        Agreement and a complete list of the names and addresses of all the
        holders of Registrable Securities shall be made available for inspection
        and copying, upon reasonable prior notice, on any business day during
        normal business hours by any holder of Registrable Securities for proper
        purposes only (which shall include any purpose related to the rights of
        the holders of Registrable Securities under the Notes, the Indenture and
        this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement) at the offices of the
        Issuers at the address thereof set forth in Section 9(c) above and at
        the office of the Trustee under the Indenture.
     j. Counterparts. This agreement may be executed by the parties in
        counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all
        such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
        instrument.
     k. Severability. In the event that any one of more of the provisions
        contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is
        held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason,
        the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every
        other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any
        way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the
        rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest
        extent permitted by law.
        Multiple Purchasers
        . Each Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that multiple
        Purchasers have executed and delivered this Exchange and Registration
        Rights Agreement. Pursuant to each of the Exchange Agreements and
        Purchase Agreements entered into by the Company and each Purchaser, the
        Company is prohibited (except as required by applicable law) from
        revealing or disclosing the identity of any other Purchaser or the
        amount of Registrable Securities received by any other Purchaser.
        Accordingly, each Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is not
        required to divulge the identity of any other Purchaser or the number of
        Registrable Securities acquired by any other Purchaser. Furthermore,
        each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that if at any time any decision
        or action is required to be taken by the Purchasers in their capacities
        as holders of a requisite amount of Registrable Securities hereunder
        (including, without limitation, under Section 9(h)), the Company shall
        make the final and binding determination as to whether such decision or
        action has been properly taken by the requisite holders and shall inform
        each holder of the same.
