Purchaser.

                  2.4      Registration Rights and Requirements.

                  (a) If Starwood Lodging delivers Unregistered Shares pursuant
to Section 2.1 hereof, Stock Purchaser and Starwood Lodging shall on the Closing
Date execute and deliver to each other the Registration Rights Agreement and the
parties thereto shall perform their respective obligations thereunder. If
Starwood Lodging delivers Registered Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the
Registration Rights Agreement shall not be executed or delivered and none of the
parties shall have any obligations thereunder.

                  (b) If Starwood Lodging delivers Unregistered Shares pursuant
to Section 2.1 hereof, and if the Settlement Date shall not have occurred on or
before the seventh Business Day after the Required Effectiveness Date, Starwood
Lodging shall pay to each Restricted Holder, on the Settlement Date, an amount
equal to the "Interest Factor." For each Restricted Holder, the "Interest
Factor" shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) LIBOR plus 2% per annum
for each day after the seventh Business Day after the Required Effectiveness
Date to and including the earlier of the Settlement Date or the date that is 60
days after the Required Effectiveness Date, multiplied by (ii) the Market Price
multiplied by the number of Subject Shares held by such Restricted Holder on the
date of such payment.

                  (c) In the event that the Settlement Date shall not have
occurred by the date that is 60 days after the Required Effectiveness Date, each
Person who is a Restricted Holder as of such date shall have the
non-transferrable right (its "Put Right"), exercisable at any one time for each
such Restricted Holder after such 60th day and through the earlier to occur of
(i) the Settlement Date, and (ii) the day immediately prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing, to "put" some or all of the Subject Shares held by
such Restricted Holder to Starwood Lodging for an amount per share equal to the
Put Price; provided, however, that the Put Right shall not be exercisable by any
Restricted Holder for a number of Subject Shares that is less than the lesser of
(i) 100,000, or (ii) the number of Subject Shares then held by such Restricted
Holder. Such right shall be exercised by such Restricted Holder giving Starwood
Lodging notice of its election to exercise its Put Right and the number of
Subject Shares to be purchased by Starwood Lodging, whereupon Starwood Lodging
shall purchase such shares at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the second Business
Day following its receipt of such notice, with payment to be delivered (against
delivery to Starwood Lodging of such shares free of all rights of other Persons)
on the third Business Day thereafter in cash or immediately available funds to
such account as such Restricted Holder may designate in such notice. The Put
Price shall be the Market Price determined as of the date such notice is given.
Starwood Lodging shall have the right to satisfy its obligations under the Put
Rights by designating another Person as the purchaser of such shares, and such
obligations shall be deemed satisfied upon such other Person's purchase of such
shares for the Put Price and at the time and in the manner set forth herein.
Such designation shall not affect Starwood Lodging's obligation to pay the
Interest Factor as provided herein.

                  (d) The Interest Factor and the right of each Restricted
Holder to receive the Put Price in the event it elects to exercise its Put Right
shall be each Restricted Holder's sole and exclusive monetary remedies arising
from Starwood Lodging's failure to cause the Settlement Date to occur on or
before the seventh Business Day after the Required Effectiveness Date and shall
be deemed liquidated damages in respect of such failure; and each Restricted
Holder shall be deemed to have waived its other monetary remedies. However, from
and after the seventh Business Day after the Required Effectiveness Date, each
Holder shall at all times have such equitable remedies as may be available under
applicable law.

force or effect with respect to each Restricted Holder that holds less than

thereunder will not violate or constitute an event of default under any material
term or material provision of any agreement, document, instrument, judgment,
order or decree to which Stock Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, or
violate any law, rule or regulation the violation of which would have a material
adverse effect upon the principal benefits intended to be provided under this
Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.

                  (b) The individuals executing this Agreement and the
Registration Rights Agreement on behalf of Stock Purchaser have the legal power,
right and actual authority to bind Stock Purchaser to the terms and conditions
hereof and thereof. Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement
is a valid and binding obligation of Stock Purchaser, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as the same may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium or similar laws, or by legal or equitable principles relating to or
limiting the rights of contracting parties generally.

                  (c) Stock Purchaser is acquiring the Subject Shares to be
issued to it for investment, solely for the account of itself, on behalf of its
partners and Persons who are stockholders of such partners, or on behalf of
certain Persons each of whom is both an Affiliate of a partner of Stock
Purchaser and a creditor of Stock Purchaser (collectively, such partners and
other Persons the "Stock Purchaser Affiliates"). Neither Stock Purchaser nor any
of the Affiliates of Stock Purchaser is acquiring Subject Shares with a view to
or for sale in connection with any distribution of such Subject Shares in
violation of applicable securities laws.

                  (d) Stock Purchaser and each of the Stock Purchaser Affiliates
is an Accredited Investor.

                  (e) Stock Purchaser has obtained and reviewed the Starwood
Lodging Disclosure and the SEC Documents that have been filed with the SEC
through the date hereof.

                  6.2 By its execution of its Joinder Agreement, each Restricted
Holder other than Stock Purchaser shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted to Starwood Lodging, as of the date of its delivery of such Joinder
Agreement, as follows:

                  (a) Such Restricted Holder has the power and authority to
enter into this
<PAGE>   10
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and its Joinder Agreement and to

hereof and thereof and the performance by such Restricted Holder of its
obligations hereunder and thereunder will not violate or constitute an event of
default under any material term or material provision of any agreement,
document, instrument, judgment, order or decree to which such Restricted Holder
is a party or by which it is bound, or violate any law, rule or regulation the
violation of which would have a material adverse effect upon the principal
benefits intended to be provided under this Agreement or the Registration Rights
Agreement.

                  (b) The individuals executing this Agreement, the Registration
Rights Agreement and its Joinder Agreement on behalf of such Restricted Holder
have the legal power, right and actual authority to bind such Restricted Holder
to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof. Each of this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement and its Joinder Agreement is a valid and binding
obligation of such Restricted Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as the same may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or
similar laws, or by legal or equitable principles relating to or limiting the
rights of contracting parties generally.

                  (c) Such Restricted Holder is acquiring the Subject Shares
Transferred or to be Transferred to it for investment, solely for the account of
itself and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of
such Subject Shares in violation of applicable securities laws; provided,
however, that if such Restricted Holder is Stock Purchaser Affiliate, such
Restricted Holder may acquire the Subject Shares on behalf of Persons who are
stockholders of such Restricted Holder if each of such Persons is an Accredited
Investor.

                  (d)      Such Restricted Holder is an Accredited Investor.

                  (e) Such Restricted Holder has had the opportunity, prior to
making the determination to acquire any Subject Shares, to obtain and review the

SEC through the date of the execution of such Restricted Holder's Joinder
Agreement.

                  6.3 The Trust hereby represents and warrants to Stock
Purchaser as follows:

                  (a) The Trust has the power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and to consummate the
transactions herein contemplated; neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement by the Trust, nor the performance
by the Trust of the Trust's obligations hereunder or thereunder will violate or

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

                  8.1 Amendment. No provision of this Agreement or of any
documents or instrument entered into, given or made pursuant to this Agreement
may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated except by an
instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of the
amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

                  8.2 Time of Essence. All times provided for in this Agreement
for the performance of any act will be strictly construed, time being of the
essence.

                  8.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and other documents
delivered pursuant to this Agreement set forth the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties in respect of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No representation, promise,
inducement or statement of intention with respect to the subject matter hereof
has been made by Stock Purchaser or Starwood Lodging which is not embodied in
this Agreement, and neither Starwood Lodging nor Stock Purchaser shall be bound
by or liable for any alleged representations, promise, inducement or statement
of intention not therein so set forth.

                  8.4 No Waiver. No failure of any party to exercise any power
given such party hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance by the other
party with its obligations hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any party's
right to demand strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

                  8.5 Counterparts. This Agreement, any document or instrument
entered into, given or made pursuant to this Agreement or authorized hereby, and
any amendment or supplement thereto may be executed in two or more counterparts,
and, when so executed, will have the same force and effect as though all
signatures appeared on a single document. Any signature page of this Agreement
or of such an amendment, supplement, document or instrument may be detached from
any counterpart without impairing the legal effect of any signatures thereon,
and may be attached to another counterpart identical in form thereto but having
attached to it one or more additional signature pages.

                  8.6 Costs and Attorneys' Fees. If any legal action or any
arbitration or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement
or because of an alleged dispute, default, or misrepresentation in connection
with any of the provisions of this Agreement the successful or prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and other costs
incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which
it
<PAGE>   16
may be entitled.

                  8.7 Payments; Interests. Except as otherwise provided herein,
payment of all amounts required by the terms of this Agreement shall be made in
the United States and in immediately available funds of the United States of
America which, at the time of payment, is accepted for the payment of all public
and private obligations and debts. If any payment due under this Agreement is
not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at a variable rate equal to
the rate announced from time to time by Citibank, N.A. as its prime or reference
rate, plus five percent (5%) per annum, but in no event more than the maximum
rate, if any, allowed by law to be charged by the party receiving the interest
on such type of indebtedness.

                  8.8 Parties in Interest. The rights and obligations of the
parties hereto shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and the legal
representatives of their respective estates. However, none of Stock Purchaser's
rights under this Agreement shall be assignable except (i) in the case of the
Payment Rights, as provided in Section 5 hereof, and (ii) in the case of all
other rights of Stock Purchaser or another Restricted Holder, to a transferee of
Subject Shares in a transaction not constituting an Open Market Sale if such
transferee delivers a Joinder Agreement in compliance with Section 4 hereof.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer any right or remedy under this
Agreement on any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their
respective successors and assigns, or to relieve or discharge the obligation or
liability of any Person to any party to this Agreement or to give any Person any
right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement.

                  8.9 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
without giving effect to the conflict-of-law rules and principles of that state.

                  8.10 Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals of this Agreement
are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

                  8.11 Construction of Agreement. The language in all parts of
this Agreement shall be in all cases construed simply according to its fair
meaning and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto. Headings at
the beginning of sections of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of
the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. When required by the context,
whenever the singular number is used in this Agreement, the same shall include
the plural, and the plural shall include the singular, the masculine gender
shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and vice versa. As used in this
Agreement, the term "Stock Purchaser" shall include the respective permitted
successors and assigns of Stock Purchaser, and the term "Starwood Lodging" shall
include the permitted successors and assigns of Starwood Lodging, if any.

                  8.12 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement
is determined to be illegal, unconscionable or unenforceable, all of the other
terms, provisions and sections hereof will nevertheless remain effective and be
in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                  8.13 Further Assurances. Starwood Lodging and Stock Purchaser
agree to execute upon the request of the other party such instruments and take
such actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this
Agreement provided that no material additional cost or liability shall incurred
thereby by the party of whom such request is made.

                  8.14 Starwood Hotels & Resorts Trust. The parties hereto
understand and agree that the name "Starwood Hotels & Resorts Trust" is a
designation of the Trust and its trustees (as trustees but not personally) under
the Trust's Declaration of Trust, and all persons
<PAGE>   17
dealing with the Trust shall look solely to the Trust's assets for the
enforcement of any claims against the Trust, and that the Trustees, officers,
agents and security holders of the Trust assume no personal liability for
obligations entered into on behalf of the Trust, and their respective individual
assets shall not be subject to the claims of any person relating to such
obligations.
<PAGE>   18
                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Starwood Lodging and Stock Purchaser have
caused this Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first above written.

15 days prior to the Required Effectiveness Date (determined without reference
to the proviso included in the definition of such term) and thereafter use its
best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective on the
Required Effectiveness Date.

its review and comment not later than concurrently with the filing of the
Registration Statement with the Commission.

         2.3 The Company shall give notice to the Shareholder of the expected

of such effectiveness is requested of the Commission; provided, however, that in
no event shall the Company have any liability for any failure to give such
notice.

Registrable Shares for each Holder as shall be specified for such Holder
pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof.

         2.5 Use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective

of which all the Selling Holders have completed the distribution or other
disposition of the Registrable Shares registered under the Registration

information required to enable all holders of Registrable Shares to Transfer
such shares pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the
Exchange Act, as amended.

         2.6 During the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, upon notice
to the Company by a Selling Holder of a Transfer of Registrable Shares pursuant
to the Registration
<PAGE>   23
Statement and receipt (i) by the Company of a certificate from such Selling
Holder in the form of Annex B attached hereto, and (ii) by counsel for the
Company of a certificate from such Selling Holder in the form of Annex C
attached hereto, in each case representing that such Registrable Shares were
offered and have been Transferred by such Selling Holder in a manner consistent
with the description set under the caption "Plan of Distribution" in the
Prospectus, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registrable
Shares to be reissued as soon as practicable (and not later than three Business
Days following receipt by the Company and such counsel of such certificates) in
the name of the transferee free of any restrictive legend under the Securities
Act and to take all such actions as may be reasonably required to cause its
transfer agent to comply with the undertakings set forth in this section.

         2.7 Use its best efforts to amend the Registration Statement or
supplement the Prospectus so that they will remain current and in compliance
with the requirements of the Securities Act for the period specified in Section
2.4 hereof, and use its best efforts to give the Selling Holders notice of the
happening of any event or development as a result of which the Registration
Statement or Prospectus may contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements made therein not misleading. In the event that any Registrable
Shares included in the Registration Statement remain unsold at the end of the
period during which the Company is obligated to use its best efforts to maintain
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company may file a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement for the purpose of
de-registering such unsold Registrable Shares.

         2.8 Furnish to each Selling Holder, without charge, such numbers of
copies of the Registration Statement, any pre-effective or post-effective
amendment thereto, the final Prospectus, and any amendments or supplements
thereto, in each case in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act,
and such other related documents, as each Selling Holder may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the Transfer of the Registrable Shares owned by such
Selling Holder.

         2.9 Use its best efforts to register and qualify the Registrable Shares
covered by the Registration Statement under such securities laws of such states
or jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Selling Holders;
provided, however, that neither the Trust nor the Corporation shall be required
in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or
to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions.

         2.10 Promptly notify each Selling Holder of any stop order issued or
threatened to be issued by the Commission or any of the jurisdictions referred
to in Section 2.9 hereof in connection with the Registration Statement (and use
its best efforts to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if
entered as promptly as practicable).

         2.11 Use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Shares covered by
the Registration Statement, if the Paired Shares are then listed on a securities
exchange or included for quotation in a recognized trading market, to continue
to be so listed or included.

3. The Holders' Obligations.

         3.1 The obligations of the Company under Section 2 with respect to each
Holder are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

                3.1.1 Not later than 10 days after the later of (i) the date
         hereof, or (ii) the date on which the Company delivers the Proposed
         Plan of Distribution to the Shareholder
<PAGE>   24
         (or such later date as the Company, in its sole and absolute
         discretion, shall determine), such Holder shall furnish all of its
         Holder Information to the Company, if such Holder Information discloses
         that such Holder holds not less than 100,000 Subject Shares (or such
         lesser number as the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion,
         shall determine for such Holder).

                3.1.2 Prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
         such Holder shall furnish to the Company by a notice such amendments
         and supplements to its Holder Information provided pursuant to Section
         3.1.1 hereof as may be necessary in order to assure that the Holder
         Information included in the Registration Statement for each Selling
         Holder does not include a misstatement of a material fact or omits to
         state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading.

                3.1.3 Such Holder shall cooperate with the Company in the
         preparation of the Registration Statement in the manner and to the
         extent reasonably requested by the Company, including accurately and
         fully completing, executing and delivering to the Company such
         documents as the Company may reasonably request in order to permit the
         Company to obtain the Holder Information or to otherwise comply with
         all applicable laws or to obtain acceleration of the effectiveness of
         the Registration Statement.

                3.1.4 Such Holder shall not have breached any of its obligations
         to the Company set forth in this Section 3.1 or in Sections 3 or 4 of
         the Stock Agreement; provided, however, that if such breach is one that
         is capable of being cured and is actually cured by such Holder in all
         material respects, the obligations of the Company to such Holder that
         arises, or which the Company is obligated to perform in whole or in
         part, after such cure shall be reinstated on the terms and subject to
         the conditions set forth herein. A Transferee of Subject Shares who is
         otherwise entitled to have such shares included in the Registration
         Statement shall be deemed not have breached its obligation to provide
         its Holder Information to the Company if it provides such information
         promptly after its acquisition of such shares and prior to the
         Company's request for acceleration of the Registration Statement

                3.1.5 Such Holder shall not have made any material
         misrepresentation pursuant to Section 6 of the Stock Agreement.

         3.2 No action taken or omitted to be taken by or on behalf of any
Holder shall adversely affect the rights of any other Holder hereunder.

         3.3 After the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, each Selling
Holder (and each transferee thereof) shall furnish to the Company by a notice
such amendments and supplements to its Holder Information provided pursuant to
Section 3.1 hereof as may be necessary in order to assure that the Holder
Information included in the Registration Statement for such Holder does not
include a misstatement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading.

4. Expenses of Registration. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in
connection with the registration, filing and qualification of the Registrable
Shares, including all registration, filing and NASD or securities exchange fees;
all fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws; all word
processing, duplicating and printing expenses; and the fees and disbursements of
counsel and accountants for the Company; but excluding all discounts,
commissions or fees of selling brokers or similar securities industry
professionals and all fees and expenses of counsel and accountants for the
Selling Holders.
<PAGE>   25
5. Indemnification; Contribution.

         5.1 To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder; each Person, if any, who
controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act; and each
officer, director, partner and employee of such Selling Holder and such
controlling Person; against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or threatened action,
suit, proceeding or investigation, or to which any of the foregoing Persons may
become subject under the Securities Act, to the extent such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or are based upon any of the
following (collectively a "Violation"):

                5.1.1 Any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
         material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including any
         final Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto;

                5.1.2 The omission or alleged omission to state therein a
         material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading; or

provided, however, that the indemnification required by this Section 5.1 shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall
the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense incurred by a Selling Holder (or any Person, if any, who
controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, or any
officer, director, partner and employee of such Selling Holder and such
controlling Person) to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with the Holder
Information or other information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of
such Selling Holder expressly for use in connection with the Registration
Statement.

         5.2 To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Selling Holder
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company; each of its directors, each of
its officers who shall have signed the Registration Statement; each Person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act; any
other Selling Holder, any controlling Person of any such other Selling Holder
and each officer, director, partner, and employee of such other Selling Holder
and such controlling Person; against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses, incurred by such party pursuant to any actual or
threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or to which any of the
foregoing Persons may otherwise become subject under the Securities Act, to the
extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arise out of or
are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the
extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with the
Holder Information or other information furnished to the Company by or on behalf
of that Selling Holder expressly for use in connection with the Registration
Statement.

         5.3 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5
of notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or
threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party may make a claim
under this Section 5, such indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying
party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party
shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying
party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed,
to assume the defense thereof
<PAGE>   26
with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties. The failure of an Indemnified
Party to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable
time following the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
5 unless such failure is prejudicial to such indemnifying party's ability to
defend such action. Any fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party
(including any fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or
preparing to defend such action or proceeding) shall be paid to the indemnified
party, as incurred, within 30 days of written notice thereof to the indemnifying
party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an indemnified
party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). Any such indemnified party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, claim or
proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be the expenses of such indemnified party unless (i) the
indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to promptly assume the defense of such
action, claim or proceeding, or (iii) the named parties to any such action,
claim or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such
indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall
have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to
the indemnifying party and that the assertion of such defenses would create a
conflict of interest such that counsel employed by the indemnifying party could
not faithfully represent the indemnified party (in which case, if such
indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action, claim or proceeding on behalf of such indemnified party, it being
understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with
any one such action, claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar
or related actions, claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with
appropriate local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, unless
in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party a conflict of interest
would exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified
parties with respect to such action, claim or proceeding, in which event the
indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such
additional counsel or counsels). No indemnifying party shall be liable to an
indemnified party for any settlement of any action, proceeding or claim without
the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

         5.4 If the indemnification required by this Section 5 from the
indemnifying party is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in this Section 5:

                5.4.1 The indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
         indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
         such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
         liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
         the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in
         connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims,
         damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant
         equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party
         and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among
         other things, whether any Violation has been committed by, or relates
         to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified
         parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
         information and opportunity to correct or prevent such Violation. The
         amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims,
         damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to
         include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2,
         any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party
         in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
<PAGE>   27
                5.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
         equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined
         by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does
         not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in
         Section 5.4.1. 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 a fraudulent
         misrepresentation.

         5.5 If indemnification is available under this Section 5, the
indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent
provided in this Section 5 without regard to the relative fault of such
indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other equitable consideration
referred to in Section 5.4.

         5.6 The obligations of the Company and the Selling Holders under this
Section 5 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares
pursuant to the Registration Statement and any termination of this Agreement.

6. Amendment, Modification and Waivers; Further Assurances.

         6.1 This Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Company and
the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act
herein required to be performed by it; in each case only if the Company shall

operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. No
written waiver hereunder, unless it by its own terms explicitly provides to the
contrary, shall be construed to effect a continuing waiver of the provisions
being waived and no such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any
other instance or for any other purpose or impair the right of the party against
whom such waiver is claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to
require full compliance with such provision.

         6.3 Each of the parties hereto shall execute all such further

Agreement.

         7.6  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which shall
together constitute one and the same instrument. All signatures need not be on
the same counterpart.

         7.7  Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid
or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement,
unless the result thereof would be unreasonable, in which case the parties
hereto shall negotiate in good faith as to appropriate amendments hereto.
