SECTION 2.     HOLDERS

     A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each,
a "HOLDER") whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.

SECTION 3.     REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER

     (a)  Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable law or
Commission policy, the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) use reasonable best
efforts to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the Commission on
or prior to 90 days (unless such date is not a Business Day, then the next
succeeding Business Day) after the Condition for Release has been met (such 90th
day being the "FILING DEADLINE"), (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement to declared effective by the Commission on
or prior to 180 days (unless such date is not a Business Day, then the next
succeeding Business Day) after the Condition for Release has been met (such
180th day being the "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE"), (iii) in connection with the
foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement as may be reasonably necessary in order to cause it to be
declared effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and
(C) cause all reasonably necessary filings, if any, in connection with the
registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue
Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the
Exchange Offer, PROVIDED that the Company shall not be required to qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified
or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process or
taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject and (iv) (A) the
Company and the Guarantors will commence the Exchange Offer; and (B) use all
commercially reasonable efforts to issue on or prior to 30 business days, or
longer, if required by the federal securities laws (such 30th or later day being
the "CONSUMMATION DEADLINE"), after the date on which the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission, exchange
Exchange Notes for all Notes properly tendered and not subsequently withdrawn
prior thereto in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the
appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered
in exchange for the Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii)
resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange
Offer Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of
market making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired
directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section
3(c) below.

                                        3
<Page>

     (b)  The Company and the Guarantors shall use all their respective
reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be
effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open, for a period of
not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state
securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no
event shall such period be less than 20 business days. The Company and the
Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal
and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be
included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.

     (c)  The Company shall include a "Plan of Distribution" section in the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate
therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that
were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired directly from
the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such "Plan of
Distribution" section shall also contain all other information with respect to
such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to
permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such "Plan of Distribution" shall not
name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the
Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the
date of this Agreement. See the SHEARMAN & STERLING no-action letter (available
July 2, 1993).

     Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange
Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company and
Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus
delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of
Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Company and the Guarantors agree to use
their respective reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required
by and subject to the provisions of Section 6(a) and (c) hereof and in
conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies,
rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a
period of one year from the Consummation Deadline or such shorter period as will
terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration
Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company and the Guarantors shall
provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such
Broker-Dealers, as soon as reasonably possible upon request, and in no event
later than one day after such request, at any time during such period.

SECTION 4.     SHELF REGISTRATION

     (a)  SHELF REGISTRATION. If (i) the Company and the Guarantors are not (A)
required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (B) permitted to
Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by
applicable law or Commission policy or (ii) if any Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities shall notify the Company within 20 business days following the
Consummation Deadline that (A) such Holder was prohibited by law or Commission
policy from participating in the Exchange Offer or (B) such Holder may not
resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public
without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by
such Holder;

                                        4
<Page>

or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Notes acquired directly from the
Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company and the Guarantors will file
a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined below) to cover resales of the Notes
by Holders of the Notes who satisfy certain conditions relating to the provision
of information in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. If obligated
to file a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to:

   (x) file, on or prior to 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which
the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement cannot be
filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above and (ii) the date on which the Company
receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above, (such earlier date, the
"FILING DEADLINE"), a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(the "SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT")), relating to all Transfer Restricted
Securities, the Holders of which shall have provided the information required by
Section 4(b) hereof; and

   (y) cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to 90 days after the obligation arises for the Shelf
Registration Statement (such 90th day the "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE").

     If, after the Company and the Guarantors have filed an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above,
the Company and the Guarantors are required to file and make effective a Shelf
Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under
applicable federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i) above), then the filing of the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the
requirements of clause (x) above; PROVIDED that, in such event, the Company and
the Guarantors shall remain obligated to meet the Effectiveness Deadline set
forth in clause (y).

     To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is
available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof
entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required
to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, the Company and
the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep any Shelf
Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective,
supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions
of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this
Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as
announced from time to time, for a period of at least two years (as extended
pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) hereof) following the Closing Date, or such shorter
period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such
Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto.

     (b)  PROVISION BY HOLDERS OF CERTAIN INFORMATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE
SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may
include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to
the Company in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the
information specified in Item 507 or Item 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable,
of the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. No Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to
Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such
information in the required times. Each selling

                                        5
<Page>

Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be
disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company
by such Holder not materially misleading.

SECTION 5.     LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

     If (i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not filed
with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii) any such
Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or
prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (the "EFFECTIVENESS TARGET
DATE"), (iii) the Company and the Guarantors fail to Consummate the Exchange
Offer within 30 business days following the Effectiveness Target Date with
respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, unless extended as
required by the Commission or (iv) any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement is filed and declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective
or usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during
the period specified herein (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through
(iv), a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), then the Company and the Guarantors hereby
jointly and severally agree to pay to each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities affected thereby liquidated damages in an amount equal to a per annum
rate of .25% on the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by
such Holder for each week or portion thereof that the Registration Default
continues for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
such Registration Default. The amount of the liquidated damages shall increase
by an additional per annum rate of .25% with respect to each subsequent 90-day
period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount
of liquidated damages of 1.00% per annum on the principal amount of Notes
constituting Transfer Restricted Securities; PROVIDED that the Company and the
Guarantors shall in no event be required to pay liquidated damages for more than
one Registration Default at any given time. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case
of (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case
of (ii) above, (3) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (iii)
above, or (4) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement)
to again be declared effective or made usable in the case of (iv) above, the
liquidated damages payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as
a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, shall cease.

     All accrued liquidated damages shall be paid to the Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the
Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the
Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which
liquidated damages are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all
obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to pay liquidated damages with
respect to securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with
respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.

     A Registration Default referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 5
hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a
Registration Statement or the related prospectus if such Registration Default
has occurred solely as a result of material events, with respect to the Company
that would need to be described in such Registration Statement or the related
prospectus and the Company has provided written notice to the Initial Purchasers
that such an event has occurred and that a Registration Default would have
occurred but for the provisions of this section; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in any
case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 60
days, Liquidated

                                        6
<Page>

Damages shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day
such Registration Default originally occurred.

SECTION 6.     REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

     (a)  EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT. In connection with the Exchange
Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the provisions of the
third paragraph of Section 5 above, (x) comply with all applicable provisions of
Section 6(c) below, (y) use their respective reasonable best efforts to effect
such exchange and to permit the resale of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that
tendered in the Exchange Offer Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its
own account as a result of its market making activities or other trading
activities (other than Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its
Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof, and (z) comply with all of the following provisions:

          (i)    If, following the date hereof there has been announced a change
     in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the Exchange
     Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company raises a
     substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by
     applicable federal law, or the Company and the Guarantors are not (A)
     required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (B) permitted
     to Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not
     permitted by applicable law or Commission policy or (C) obligated to file
     the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors hereby
     agree to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the
     Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an
     Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company and the
     Guarantors hereby agree to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the
     Commission staff level. In connection with the foregoing, the Company and
     the Guarantors hereby agree to take all such other actions as may be
     requested by the Commission or otherwise required in connection with the
     issuance of such decision, including without limitation (A) participating
     in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) delivering to the
     Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting
     forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that
     such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursuing a
     resolution (which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff;

          (ii)   As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each
     Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation,
     any Holder who is a Broker Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the
     Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written
     representation to the Company and the Guarantors (which may be contained in
     the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company,
     (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no
     arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a
     distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and
     (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business.
     As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using
     the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes
     shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Exchange Notes
     obtained by such Holder in exchange for Notes acquired directly from the
     Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy
     as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the
     Commission enunciated in EXXON CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION (available May
     13, 1988) and MORGAN STANLEY AND CO., INC. (available June 5, 1991), as
     interpreted in the Commission's letter

                                        7
<Page>

     to SHEARMAN & STERLING dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters
     (including, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause
     (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus
     delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale
     transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by
     an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder
     information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation
     S-K; and

          (iii)  Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall provide a supplemental
     letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company and the Guarantors
     are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the
     Commission enunciated in EXXON CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION (available May
     13, 1988) and MORGAN STANLEY AND CO., INC. (available June 5, 1991) as
     interpreted in the Commission's letter to SHEARMAN & STERLING dated July 2,
     1993, and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause
     (i) above, (B) including a representation that neither the Company nor any
     Guarantor has 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 Company's and each Guarantor's information and
     belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the
     Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or
     understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the
     Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking
     or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action
     letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.

     (b)  SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT. In connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the
provisions of the third paragraph of Section 5 above:

          (i)    comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and use
     their respective reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to
     permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in
     accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as
     indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section
     4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company and the Guarantors will
     prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to
     the registration on any appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be
     available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance
     with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof within the time
     periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof; and

          (ii)   issue, upon the request of any Holder or purchaser of the Notes
     covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement,
     Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
     principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
     and surrendered to the Company for cancellation; the Company shall register
     Exchange Notes on the Shelf Registration Statement for this purpose and
     issue the Exchange Notes to the purchasers of securities subject to the
     Shelf Registration Statement in the names as such purchasers shall
     designate.

     (c)  GENERAL PROVISIONS. In connection with any Registration Statement and
any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company and the
Guarantors shall, subject to the provisions of the third paragraph of Section 5
above:

                                        8
<Page>

          (i)    use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep such
     Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite
     financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or Section 4 of
     this Agreement, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event that would
     cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein
     (A) to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any
     material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
     (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted
     Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company and
     the Guarantors shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such
     Registration Statement curing such defect, and, if Commission review is
     required, use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such
     amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable;

          (ii)   prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
     post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may
     be reasonably necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for
     the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or Section 4 hereof, as the
     case may be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required
     Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule
     424 under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as
     applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the
     provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities
     covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in
     accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the
     sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to
     the Prospectus;

          (iii)  advise each Holder promptly and, if requested by such Holder,
     confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus
     supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to
     any applicable Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
     thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the
     Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or
     supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating
     thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending
     the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act or of the
     suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the
     Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or
     the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of
     the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any
     statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the
     Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document
     incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of
     any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement in order to make
     the statements therein not misleading, or that requires the making of any
     additions to or changes in the Prospectus in order to make the statements
     therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order
     suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state
     securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order
     suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the
     Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the
     Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best
     efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest
     possible time;

          (iv)   subject to Section 6(c)(i), if any fact or event contemplated
     by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a
     supplement or post-effective amendment to the

                                        9
<Page>

     Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated
     therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as
     thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities,
     the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
     omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
     in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading;

          (v)    furnish to each Initial Purchaser and each Holder named in the
     Shelf Registration Statement in connection with such exchange or sale, if
     any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration
     Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or
     supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus, which
     documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Persons in
     connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least three business
     days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or
     Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration
     Statement or Prospectus to which such Persons shall reasonably object
     within three business days after the receipt thereof. A Holder shall be
     deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration
     Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed
     to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
     state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
     misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Act;

          (vi)   make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each
     Holder and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders, all
     financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents of the Company
     and the Guarantors and cause the Company's and the Guarantors' officers,
     directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by
     any such Holder, attorney or accountant in connection with such
     Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent
     to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness;

          (vii)  if requested by any Holders in connection with such exchange or
     sale, promptly include in any Registration Statement or Prospectus,
     pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such
     information as such Holders may reasonably request to have included
     therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the "Plan
     of Distribution" of the Transfer Restricted Securities; and make all
     required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
     as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be
     included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

          (viii) furnish to each Holder, upon such Holder's request, in
     connection with such exchange or sale, without charge, at least one copy of
     the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each
     amendment thereto, including all documents incorporated by reference
     therein and all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by
     reference);

          (ix)   deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the
     Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or
     supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; the Company and
     the Guarantors hereby consent to the use (in accordance with law) of the
     Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder
     in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted
     Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
     thereto;

                                       10
<Page>

          (x)    upon the request of any Holder, enter into such agreements
     (including underwriting agreements) and make such representations and
     warranties and take all such other actions in connection therewith in order
     to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted
     Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by
     this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by any Holder in connection
     with any sale or resale pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement. In
     such connection, the Company and the Guarantors shall:

                 (A)  upon request of any Holder, furnish (or in the case of
          paragraphs (2) and (3), use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be
          furnished) to each Holder upon the effectiveness of the Shelf
          Registration Statement, as the case may be:

                      (1) a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of
                 the Company and each Guarantor by (x) the President or any Vice
                 President and (y) a principal financial or accounting officer
                 of the Company and such Guarantor, confirming, as of the date
                 thereof, the matters set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and
                 8(d) of the Purchase Agreement and such other similar matters
                 as such Holders may reasonably request;

                      (2) an opinion, dated the date of effectiveness of the
                 Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, of counsel
                 for the Company and the Guarantors covering matters similar to
                 those set forth in paragraph (h) of Section 8 of the Purchase
                 Agreement and such other matters as such Holder may reasonably
                 request, and in any event including a statement to the effect
                 that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers
                 and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors,
                 representatives of the independent public accountants for the
                 Company and the Guarantors and have considered the matters
                 required to be stated therein and the statements contained
                 therein, although such counsel has not independently verified
                 the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements; and
                 that such counsel advises that, on the basis of the foregoing
                 (relying as to materiality to the extent such counsel deems
                 appropriate upon the statements of officers and other
                 representatives of the Company and the Guarantor(s) and without
                 independent check or verification), no facts came to such
                 counsel's attention that caused such counsel to believe that
                 the Shelf Registration Statement, at the time such Shelf
                 Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
                 became effective contained an untrue statement of a material
                 fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to
                 make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
                 under which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting
                 the foregoing, such counsel may state further that such counsel
                 assumes no responsibility for, and has not independently
                 verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the
                 financial statements, notes and schedules and other financial
                 data included in any Registration Statement contemplated by
                 this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and

                      (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of
                 effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case
                 may be, from the Company's independent accountants, in the
                 customary form and covering matters of the type

                                       11
<Page>

                 customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in
                 connection with underwritten offerings, and affirming the
                 matters set forth in the comfort letters and agreed upon
                 procedures letters, as applicable, delivered pursuant to
                 Sections (8)(j), 8(k), 8(l) and 8(m) of the Purchase Agreement;
                 and

                 (B)  deliver such other documents and certificates as may be
          reasonably requested by the selling Holders to evidence compliance
          with the matters covered in clause (A) above and with any customary
          conditions contained in the any agreement entered into by the Company
          and the Guarantors pursuant to this clause (xi);

          (xi)   prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities,
     cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the
     registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under
     the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling
     Holders may request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or
     advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer
     Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement;
     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be
     required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not
     now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service
     of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and
     transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction
     where it is not now so subject;

          (xii)  in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities
     that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer Restricted
     Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation
     and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to
     be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and to register such
     Transfer Restricted Securities in such denominations and such names as the
     selling Holders may reasonably request at least two business days prior to
     such sale of Transfer Restricted Securities;

          (xiii) use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the
     disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the
     Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other
     governmental agencies or authorities as may be reasonably necessary to
     enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such
     Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in clause
     (xii) above;

          (xiv)  provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities
     not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement covering such
     Transfer Restricted Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture
     with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which are
     in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company;

          (xv)   otherwise use their respective reasonable best efforts to
     comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and
     make generally available to its security holders with regard to any
     applicable Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a consolidated
     earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 under the Act
     (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after
     the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined
     in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act);

                                       12
<Page>

          (xvi)  cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later
     than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by
     this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and
     the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be reasonably
     required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms
     of the TIA; and execute and use its best efforts to cause the Trustee to
     execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all
     other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to
     enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; and

          (xvii) provide promptly to each Holder, upon request, each document
     filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or
     Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     (d)  RESTRICTIONS ON HOLDERS. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a
Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in
Section 6(c)(iii)(C) or any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact
of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof (in each case, a
"SUSPENSION NOTICE"), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement
until (i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is
advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed,
and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (in each case, the "RECOMMENCEMENT
DATE"). Each Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it will
either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in
such Holder's possession which have been replaced by the Company with more
recently dated Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company's
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder's
possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that
was current at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The time period
regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section
3 or Section 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by a number of days
equal to the number of days in the period from and including the date of
delivery of the Suspension Notice to the date of delivery of the Recommencement
Date.

SECTION 7.     REGISTRATION EXPENSES

     (a)  All expenses incident to the Company's and the Guarantors' performance
of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of
whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without
limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and
expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities
laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the
Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses),
messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors; (v) all application and filing
fees in connection with listing the Exchange Notes on a national securities
exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and
(vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of
the Company and the Guarantors (including the expenses of any special audit and
comfort letters required by or incident to such performance).

     The Company will, in any event, bear its and the Guarantors' internal
expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its
officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of
any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special
experts, retained by the Company or the Guarantors.

                                       13
<Page>

     (b)  In connection with any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), regardless of whether a
Registration Statement becomes effective, the Company and the Guarantors will
reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities who are tendering Notes into in the Exchange Offer and/or selling or
reselling Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the "Plan of Distribution"
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration
Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more
than one counsel, who shall be Latham & Watkins LLP, unless another firm shall
be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer
Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being
prepared.

SECTION 8.     INDEMNIFICATION

     (a)  The Company and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and each
Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments and expenses whatsoever (including
without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with
investigating, preparing or defending against any investigation or litigation,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid
in settlement of any claim or litigation) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) provided by the Company to any Holder or any prospective purchaser of
Exchange Notes or registered Notes, or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by an untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon information
relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by or on
behalf any of the Holders.

     (b)  Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and
not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, and
their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives and
agents, and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15
of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, or the Guarantors to
the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors
set forth in section (a) above, but only with reference to information relating
to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such
Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus
or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto.) In no event shall any
Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder be liable
or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount
received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted
Securities or Exchange Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i)
the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii)
the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any
Person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

     (c)  In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) (the
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the

                                       14
<Page>

"INDEMNIFYING PERSON") in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure
so to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which
it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been
prejudiced in any material respect by such failure or from any liability which
it may otherwise have). In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to
the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party. 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 which 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. In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with
any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the
same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances,
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys
(in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees
and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be
designated in writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties
indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company and Guarantors, in the
case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party
shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any
settlement of any action (i) effected with its written consent or (ii) effected
without its written consent if the settlement is entered into more than twenty
business days after the indemnifying party shall have received a request from
the indemnified party for reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in
any case where such fees and expenses are at the expense of the indemnifying
party) and, prior to the date of such settlement, the indemnifying party shall
have failed to comply with such reimbursement request. No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect
to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party
is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have
been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement,
compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified
party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the subject
matter of such action 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 the
indemnified party.

     (d)  To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8
is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each 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 judgments (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from their sale
of Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
8(d)(i) above is not permitted

                                       15
<Page>

by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative
fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on
the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or such
Guarantor, on the one hand, or by the Holder, on the other hand, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a), any legal or other fees or
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim.

     The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by
pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any
action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, its
directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder shall be
required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total received by such Holder with respect to the sale of Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the
amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) 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. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders'
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in
proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities
held by each Holder hereunder and not joint.

SECTION 9.     RULE 144A AND RULE 144

     The Company and each Guarantor agrees with each Holder, for so long as any
Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which
the Company or such Guarantor (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or
beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities
designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d) of
the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in
order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule
144.

SECTION 10.    MISCELLANEOUS

     (a)  REMEDIES. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that
any failure by the Company and/or the Guarantors to comply with their respective
obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof may result in material irreparable
injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate
remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries
precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or
any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the
Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. The
Company and the Guarantors further agree to waive the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     (b)  NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor
will, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with
respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
Neither the Company nor any Guarantor has previously entered into any agreement
granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person.
The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and
are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's and
the Guarantors' securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

     (c)  AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5
hereof and this Section 10(c)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent
of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the
case of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written
consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by the
Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent
to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights
of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are being tendered pursuant to
the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights
of other Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are not being tendered
pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of
the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to
such Exchange Offer.

     (d)  THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. The Holders shall be third party
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and
shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they may
deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights
of Holders hereunder.

     (e)  NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail

expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive

warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein
with respect to the registration rights granted with respect to the Transfer
Restricted Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
