Ladies and Gentlemen:

            Pinnacle Foods Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("the
Company") proposes to issue and sell to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
("JPMorgan"), Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("CGMI"), CIBC World Markets Corp.
("CIBC World Markets") and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (together with
JPMorgan, CGMI and CIBC World Markets, the "Initial Purchasers"), upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in a purchase agreement dated February
5, 2004 (the "Purchase Agreement"), $194,000,000 principal amount of the
Company's 8 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the "Notes") to be
guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by each of the subsidiaries
of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (the "Note Guarantors"). Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in
the Purchase Agreement.

            As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to enter into the
Purchase Agreement and in satisfaction of a condition to the obligations of the
Initial Purchasers thereunder, the Company and the Note Guarantors agree with
the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders (including the Initial
Purchasers and the Market-Maker (as defined herein)) of the Notes and the
Exchange Notes (as defined herein) (collectively, the "Holders"), as follows:

            1. Registered Exchange Offer. Unless, because of any change in law
or applicable interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff, the Company and
the Note Guarantors determine in good faith after consultation with counsel that
they are not

<PAGE>

                                                                               2

permitted to effect the Registered Exchange Offer (as defined herein), the
Company and the Note Guarantors shall (i) prepare and, not later than August 21,
2003 (the "Issue Date"), file with the Commission a registration statement (the
"Exchange Offer Registration Statement") on an appropriate form under the
Securities Act with respect to a proposed offer to the Holders of the Notes (the
"Registered Exchange Offer") to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange
for the Notes, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the
Company (the "Exchange Notes") that are identical in all material respects to
the Notes, except for the transfer restrictions relating to the Notes, (ii) use
reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to
become effective under the Securities Act no later than October 20, 2004, and
the Registered Exchange Offer to be consummated no later than November 19, 2004,
and (iii) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 business
days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date on which notice
of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being
called the "Exchange Offer Registration Period"). The Exchange Notes will be
issued under the Indenture or an indenture (the "Exchange Notes Indenture")
among the Company, the Note Guarantors and the Trustee or such other bank or
trust company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, as
trustee (the "Exchange Notes Trustee"), such indenture to be identical in all
material respects to the Indenture, except for the transfer restrictions
relating to the Notes (as described above). All references in this Agreement to
"prospectus" shall, except where the context otherwise requires, include any
prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) filed with the Commission
pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement.

            Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
the Company shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the
objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder electing to
exchange Notes for Exchange Notes (assuming that such Holder (a) is not an
affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the
Company or an Exchanging Dealer (as defined herein) not complying with the
requirements of the next sentence, (b) is not an Initial Purchaser holding Notes
that have, or that are reasonably likely to have, the status of an unsold
allotment in an initial distribution, (c) acquires the Exchange Notes in the
ordinary course of such Holder's business, (d) has no arrangements or
understandings with any person to participate in the distribution of the
Exchange Notes and (e) if such Holder is not an Exchanging Dealer (as defined
below), it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution
of the Exchange Notes) and to trade such Exchange Notes from and after their
receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and
without material restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of
the United States. The Company, the Note Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and
each Exchanging Dealer acknowledge that, pursuant to current interpretations by
the Commission's staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, each Holder that is a
broker-dealer electing to exchange Notes, acquired for its own account as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange
Notes (an "Exchanging Dealer"), is required to deliver a prospectus containing
substantially the information set forth in

<PAGE>

                                                                               3

Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer
Procedures" section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section (if any) and
in Annex C hereto in the "Plan of Distribution" section of such prospectus in
connection with a sale of any such Exchange Notes received by such Exchanging
Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer.

            In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall:

            (a) mail to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the
      Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter
      of transmittal and related documents;

            (b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 20
      business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date on
      which notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders;

            (c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange
      Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York;

            (d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Notes at any time prior to
      the close of business, New York City time, on the last business day on
      which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and

            (e) otherwise comply in all respects with all laws that are
      applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer.

            As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange
Offer, the Company shall:

            (a) accept for exchange all Notes tendered and not validly withdrawn
      pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer;

            (b) deliver to the Trustee for cancelation all Notes so accepted for
      exchange; and

            (c) cause the Trustee or the Exchange Notes Trustee, as the case may
      be, promptly to authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange Notes
      equal in principal amount to the Notes of such Holder so accepted for
      exchange.

            The Company and the Note Guarantors shall use reasonable best
efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend
and supplement the prospectus contained therein in order to permit such
prospectus to be used by all persons (including Exchanging Dealers) subject to
the prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act for 180 days after
the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (such 180 days, the
"Applicable Period").

<PAGE>

                                                                               4

            The Indenture or the Exchange Notes Indenture, as the case may be,
shall provide that the Notes and the Exchange Notes shall vote and consent
together on all matters as one class and that neither the Notes nor the Exchange
Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter;
provided that, whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified
percentage of Notes and Exchange Notes is required, any Notes or Exchange Notes
owned directly or indirectly by the Company or any of its affiliates (other than
JPMorgan, its subsidiaries or its broker-dealer affiliates) shall not be counted
in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such
required percentage or amount; provided further that, if the Company shall issue
any additional Notes under the Indenture prior to consummation of the Registered
Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement, such
additional Notes and the Notes to which this Agreement relates shall be treated
together as one class for purposes of determining whether the consent or
approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Notes has been obtained.

            Interest on each Exchange Note issued pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest
was paid on the Notes surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has
been paid on the Notes, from the Issue Date.

            Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be
required to represent to the Company and the Note Guarantors in writing (which
may be contained in the applicable letter of transmittal) that at the time of
the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Notes
received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business,
(ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any person to
participate in the distribution of the Notes or the Exchange Notes within the
meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an affiliate (within the
meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company or, if it is such
an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and
prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable
and (iv) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period.

            Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company and the
Note Guarantors will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement
and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any
supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes
effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not,
as of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, include an untrue
statement of

<PAGE>

                                                                               5

a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

            2. Shelf Registration. If (i) because of any change in law or
applicable interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff the Company and the
Note Guarantors determine in good faith after consultation with counsel that
they are not permitted to effect the Registered Exchange Offer as contemplated
by Section 1 hereof, (ii) any Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer are not exchanged for Exchange Notes on or prior to November 19,
2004, (iii) the Initial Purchasers so request with respect to Notes not eligible
to be exchanged for Exchange Notes in the Registered Exchange Offer and held by
them following the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, (iv) any
applicable law or interpretations do not permit any Holder to participate in the
Registered Exchange Offer (other than because such Holder has an understanding
or arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution of the
Exchange Notes), (v) any Holder that participates in the Registered Exchange
Offer notifies the Company in writing within 30 days following the consummation
of the Registered Exchange Offer that such Holder may not resell the Exchange
Notes acquired by it in the Registered Exchange Offer to the public without
delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not legally available for such resales by such Holder
or (vi) the Company so elects, then the following provisions shall apply:

            (a) The Company and the Note Guarantors shall use reasonable best
      efforts to file as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 60
      days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 2; provided
      that in the case of any filing in response to clause (i), (iii) or (iv) of
      the preceding paragraph, the Company and the Note Guarantors shall not be
      required to make any such filing earlier than August 21, 2004 (the date of
      such filing, the "Shelf Filing Date")) with the Commission, and thereafter
      shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective on or
      prior to 90 days after the Shelf Filing Date (but, in the case of any
      filing in response to clause (i), (iii), (iv) or (vi) of the preceding
      paragraph, in no event earlier than November 19, 2004), a shelf
      registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act
      relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer-Restricted Notes (as
      defined below) by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with
      the methods of distribution set forth in such registration statement
      (hereafter, a "Shelf Registration Statement" and, together with any
      Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a "Registration Statement").

            (b) The Company and the Note Guarantors shall use reasonable best
      efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in
      order to permit the prospectus forming part thereof to be used by Holders
      of Transfer-Restricted Notes for a period ending on the earlier of (i) two
      years from the Issue Date or such shorter period that will terminate when
      all the Transfer-Restricted Notes covered by the Shelf Registration
      Statement have been sold pursuant

<PAGE>

                                                                               6

      thereto and (ii) the date on which the Notes become eligible for resale
      without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act
      (in any such case, such period being called the "Shelf Registration
      Period"). The Company and the Note Guarantors shall be deemed not to have
      used reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
      effective during the requisite period if any of them voluntarily take any
      action that would result in Holders of Transfer-Restricted Notes covered
      thereby not being able to offer and sell such Transfer-Restricted Notes
      during that period, unless (A) such action is required by applicable law
      or (B) such action was permitted by Section 2(c).

            (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(b) (but subject to
      the provisions of Section 3(b)), the Company and the Note Guarantors may
      for valid business reasons, including without limitation, a potential
      acquisition, divestiture of assets or other material corporate
      transaction, issue a notice that the Shelf Registration Statement is no
      longer effective or the prospectus included therein is no longer usable
      for offers and sales of Transfer-Restricted Notes and may issue any notice
      suspending use of the Shelf Registration Statement required under
      applicable securities laws to be issued. The provisions of this Section
      2(c) shall also be applicable to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
      during the Applicable Period; provided that the Applicable Period shall be
      extended for the number of days (which shall not exceed 60) that the use
      of the Shelf Registration Statement is suspended.

            (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company and the
      Note Guarantors shall ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration Statement and
      any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any
      supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities
      Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (ii) any
      Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (in either case,
      other than with respect to information included therein in reliance upon
      or in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or
      on behalf of any Holder specifically for use therein (the "Holders'
      Information")) does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
      omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
      to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus
      forming part of any Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to
      such prospectus (in either case, other than with respect to Holders'
      Information), does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or
      omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
      therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
      misleading.

            3. Additional Interest. (a) The parties hereto agree that the
Holders of Transfer-Restricted Notes will suffer damages if the Company and the
Note Guarantors fail to fulfill their obligations under Section 1 or Section 2,
as applicable, and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such
damages. Accordingly, if (i) the

<PAGE>

                                                                               7

applicable Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission on or prior
to the date specified in this Agreement, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, is not
declared effective on or prior to the later of (A) the date specified in this
Agreement and (B) 60 days after the release to the Company of the funds held in
escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement),
(iii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated on or prior to November
19, 2004 (other than in the event the Company is requested or required or
elected to file a Shelf Registration Statement) or (iv) the Shelf Registration
Statement is filed and declared effective on or prior to the date specified in
this Agreement but shall thereafter cease to be effective (at any time that the
Company and the Note Guarantors are obligated to maintain the effectiveness
thereof) without being succeeded within 60 days by an additional Registration
Statement or a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement
filed and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through
(iv), a "Registration Default"), the interest rate on the Transfer-Restricted
Notes will be increased by 1.00% per annum (the amount paid as a result of such
increase, "additional interest"), until (i) the applicable Registration
Statement is filed, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared
effective and the Registered Exchange Offer is consummated, (iii) the Shelf
Registration Statement is declared effective or (iv) the Shelf Registration
Statement again becomes effective, an additional Registration Statement becomes
effective or a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement
becomes effective, as the case may be; provided that that the Company shall not
be required to pay additional interest for more than one Registration Default at
any given time. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of
additional interest will cease. As used herein, the term "Transfer-Restricted
Notes" means (i) each Note until the date on which such Note has been exchanged
for a freely transferable Exchange Note in the Registered Exchange Offer (it
being understood that the requirement that an Exchanging Dealer deliver a
prospectus in connection with sales of Exchange Notes acquired in the Registered
Exchange Offer shall not mean that the Exchange Note is not freely transferable
for purposes of this Section 3), (ii) each Note until the date on which it has
been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in
accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iii) each Note until the
date on which it is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(a), the Company shall
not be required to pay additional interest to a Holder of Transfer-Restricted
Notes if such Holder failed to comply with its obligations to make the
representations set forth in the second to last paragraph of Section 1 or failed
to provide the information required to be provided by it, if any, pursuant to
Section 4(o).

            (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 3(a), the
      Company and the Note Guarantors may for valid business reasons, including
      without limitation, a potential acquisition, divestiture of assets or
      other material corporate transaction, issue a notice that the Shelf
      Registration Statement is no longer effective or the prospectus included
      therein is no longer usable for offers and sales of Transfer-

<PAGE>

                                                                               8

      Restricted Notes and may issue any notice suspending use of the Shelf
      Registration Statement required under applicable securities laws to be
      issued and, in the event that the aggregate number of days in any
      consecutive twelve-month period for which all such notices are issued and
      effective exceeds 60 days in the aggregate, then the interest rate on the
      Transfer-Restricted Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement will
      be increased by 1.00% per annum (the amount paid as a result of such
      increase, "additional interest"). Upon the Company and the Note Guarantors
      declaring that the Shelf Registration Statement is useable after the
      period of time described in the preceding sentence, accrual of additional
      interest shall cease; provided, however, that if after any such cessation
      of the accrual of additional interest the Shelf Registration Statement
      again ceases to be useable beyond the period permitted above, additional
      interest will again accrue pursuant to the foregoing provisions.

            (c) The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent under
      the Indenture immediately upon the happening of each and every
      Registration Default. The Company and the Note Guarantors shall pay the
      additional interest due on the Transfer-Restricted Notes by depositing
      with the Paying Agent (which may not be the Company for these purposes),
      in trust, for the benefit of the Holders thereof, prior to 10:00 a.m., New
      York City time, on the next interest payment date specified by the
      Indenture and the Notes, sums sufficient to pay the additional interest
      then due. The additional interest due shall be payable on each interest
      payment date specified by the Indenture and the Notes to the record holder
      entitled to receive the interest payment to be made on such date. Each
      obligation to pay additional interest shall be deemed to accrue from and
      including the date of the applicable Registration Default.

            (d) The parties hereto agree that the additional interest provided
for in this Section 3 constitute a reasonable estimate of and are intended to
constitute the sole damages that will be suffered by Holders of
Transfer-Restricted Notes by reason of the failure of (i) the Shelf Registration
Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed, (ii) the
Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective or (iii) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement to be declared effective and the Registered Exchange
Offer to be consummated, in each case to the extent required by this Agreement.

            4. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Registration
Statement, the following provisions shall apply:

            (a) The Company shall (i) furnish to the Initial Purchasers, prior
      to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Exchange Offer
      Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if
      any, to the prospectus included therein and shall use reasonable best
      efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the
      Commission, such comments as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably
      propose, (ii) include information substantially as set forth in Annex A
      hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer

<PAGE>

      Procedures" section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section (if
      any) and in Annex C hereto in the "Plan of Distribution" section of the
      prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
      and include information substantially as set forth in Annex D hereto in
      the Letter of Transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange
      Offer and (iii) if requested in writing by any Initial Purchaser, include
      the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as
      applicable, in the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer
      Registration Statement.

            (b) The Company shall advise the Initial Purchasers, each Exchanging
      Dealer and the Holders (if applicable) and, if requested by any such
      person, confirm such advice in writing (which advice pursuant to clauses
      (ii) through (v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend
      the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made):

                  (i) when any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
            has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration
            Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become
            effective;

                  (ii)of any request by the Commission for amendments or
            supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included
            therein or for additional information;

                  (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
            suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the
            initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

                  (iv)of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
            respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes or the
            Exchange Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
            threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

                  (v) of the happening of any event that requires the making of
            any changes in any Registration Statement or the prospectus included
            therein in order that the statements therein are not misleading and
            do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
            or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

            (c) The Company and the Note Guarantors will make every reasonable
      effort to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time of any order
      suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement.

            (d) The Company will furnish to each Holder of Transfer-Restricted

      Holders of Notes or Exchange Notes to facilitate the timely preparation
      and delivery of certificates representing Notes or Exchange Notes to be

            (j) If any event contemplated by Sections 4(b)(ii) through (v)
      occurs during the period for which the Company and the Note Guarantors are
      required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company and
      the Note Guarantors will promptly prepare and file with the Commission a
      post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to
      the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as
      thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Notes or Exchange Notes from a
      Holder, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material
      fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
      statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they

            (k) If any event contemplated by Section 2(c) or 3(b) occurs during

      Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other
      required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the
      Notes or Exchange Notes from a Holder, the prospectus will not include an
      untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
      necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the

      first month of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the

      shall cover such 12-month period.

            (n) The Company and the Note Guarantors will cause the Indenture or
      the Exchange Notes Indenture, as the case may be, to be qualified under
      the Trust Indenture Act as required by applicable law in a timely manner.

      to be registered pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish
      to the Company such information concerning the Holder and the distribution
      of such Transfer-Restricted Notes as the Company may from time to time
      reasonably require for inclusion in such Shelf Registration Statement, and
      the Company may exclude from such registration the Transfer-Restricted
      Notes of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a
      reasonable time after receiving such request. Each Holder of
      Transfer-Restricted Notes as to which a Shelf Registration Statement is
      being effected, by its participation in the Shelf Registration Statement,
      shall be deemed to agree to furnish the Company and the Note Guarantors
      all information concerning such Holder required to be described in order
      to make the information previously furnished by such Holder to the Company
      and the Note Guarantors not materially misleading.

      of Transfer-Restricted Notes to be registered pursuant thereto agrees by
      acquisition of such Transfer-Restricted Notes that, and (ii) the Exchange
      Offer Registration Statement during the Applicable Period only, each
      Holder of Exchange Notes subject to the prospectus-delivery requirements

      the supplemental or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4(j) or
      4(k), as the case may be, or until advised in writing by the Company that
      the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed (the "Advice"). If the
      Company shall give any notice under Section 2(c), 3(b) or 4(b)(ii) through
      (v) during the period that the Company is required to maintain an
      effective Registration Statement (the "Effectiveness Period"), such
      Effectiveness Period shall be extended by the number of days during such
      period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and
      including the date when each seller of Transfer-Restricted Notes or
      Exchange Notes, as applicable, covered by such Registration Statement
      shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemental or amended
      prospectus contemplated by Section 4(j) or 4(k), as the case may be, (if
      an

      the Note Guarantors shall enter into such customary agreements (including,
      if requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of (i)

      under the Indenture, (ii) the Notes, (iii) the Exchange Notes and (iv) any
      additional notes issued under the Indenture that, in each of clauses (i),
      (ii), (iii) and (iv), are intended to be covered by the Shelf Registration
      Statement (the "Majority Holders"), an underwriting agreement in customary
      form) and take all such other action, if any, as Holders of a majority in
      aggregate principal amount of the Notes and Exchange Notes or the managing
      underwriters (if any) shall reasonably request in order to facilitate any
      disposition of Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to such Shelf Registration

      Agreement, the Company and the Note Guarantors shall not be required to
      engage in more than one underwritten offering pursuant to this Agreement.

      (i) make reasonably available for inspection by a representative of, and
      Special Counsel (as defined below) acting for, the Majority Holders and
      any underwriter participating in any disposition of Notes or Exchange
      Notes pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, all relevant
      financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties
      of the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) use reasonable best efforts
      to have its officers, directors, employees, accountants and counsel supply

      Special Counsel or any such underwriter (an "Inspector") in connection
      with such Shelf Registration Statement.

            (s) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company
      shall, if requested by the Majority Holders, their Special Counsel or the
      managing underwriters (if any) in connection with such Shelf Registration
      Statement, use reasonable best efforts to cause (i) its counsel to deliver
      an opinion in customary form and relating to the Shelf Registration
      Statement and the notes covered thereby, (ii) its officers to execute and
      deliver all customary documents and certificates requested by the Majority
      Holders, its Special Counsel or the managing underwriters (if any) and
      (iii) its independent public accountants to provide a comfort letter or
      letters in customary form, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation
      as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards
      No. 72.

            5. Registration Expenses. The Company and the Note Guarantors will
jointly and severally bear all expenses incurred in connection with the

of its affiliates (as defined in the rules and regulations of the Commission)
owns any equity securities of the Company, the Note Guarantors or any of their
affiliates and proposes to make a market in the Notes or Exchange Notes as part

      by counsel that such Market-Making Registration Statement, amendment or
      supplement is required to be filed under applicable securities laws, and
      the Company will provide the Market-Maker and its counsel with copies of
      the Market-Making Registration Statement and each amendment and supplement

      Market-Making Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment to the
      Market-Making Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the
      related prospectus has been filed, and, with respect to any post-effective
      amendment, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the
      Commission for any post-effective amendment to the Market-Making
      Registration Statement, any supplement or amendment to the related

      Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
      Market-Making Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings
      for that purpose, (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
      with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes or
      Exchange Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or

      of any event that makes any statement made in the Market-Making
      Registration Statement, the related prospectus or any amendment or
      supplement thereto untrue or that requires the making of any changes in
      the Market-Making Registration Statement, such prospectus or any amendment
      or supplement thereto, in order to make the statements therein not
      misleading.

            (iii) If any event contemplated by Sections 6(a)(ii)(B) through (E)
      occurs during the period for which the Company and the Note Guarantors are
      required to maintain an effective Market-Making Registration Statement,
      the Company and the Note Guarantors shall promptly prepare and file with
      the Commission a post-effective amendment to the Market-Making
      Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related
      prospectus or file any other required document so that the prospectus will

they are not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject them to
general service of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where they
are not then so subject.

            (d) The Company and the Note Guarantors represent and agree that the
Market-Making Registration Statement, any post-effective amendments thereto, any

      supplement, as applicable, the Market-Making Registration Statement and
      the prospectus, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, did not include
      any untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state a
      material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
      statements therein not misleading.

            (f) At the time of effectiveness of the Market-Making Registration
Statement and concurrently with each time the Market-Making Registration
Statement or the related prospectus shall be amended or such prospectus shall be
supplemented, the Company shall (if requested in writing by the Market-Maker)
furnish the Market-Maker and its counsel with the written opinion of counsel for
the Company satisfactory to the Market-Maker to the effect that:

            (i) the Market-Making Registration Statement has been declared
      effective, (ii) in the case of an amendment to the Market-Making
      Registration Statement, such amendment has become effective under the
      Securities Act as of the date and time specified in such opinion, if
      applicable; in the case of an amendment or supplement to the related
      prospectus, such amendment or supplement to the prospectus was filed with
      the Commission pursuant to the subparagraph of Rule 424(b) under the
      Securities Act specified in such opinion on the date specified therein,
      (iii) to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the
      effectiveness of the Market-Making Registration Statement has been issued
      and no proceeding for that purpose is pending or threatened by the
      Commission and (iv) such counsel has reviewed the Market-Making
      Registration Statement and the prospectus (and, in the case of an
      amendment or supplement, such amendment or supplement) and participated
      with officers of the Company and independent public accountants for the
      Company in the preparation of such Market-Making Registration Statement
      and prospectus (and, in the case of an amendment or supplement, such
      amendment or supplement) and has no reason to believe that (except for the
      financial statements and other financial and statistical data contained
      therein as to which no belief is required) as of the date of such

                                                                              19

      Market-Making Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, as
      applicable, the Market-Making Registration Statement and the prospectus,
      as amended or supplemented, if applicable, contained any untrue statement
      of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
      stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

            (g) At the time of effectiveness of the Market-Making Registration
Statement and concurrently with each time the Market-Making Registration
Statement or the related prospectus shall be amended or such prospectus shall be
supplemented to include audited annual financial information, the Company shall
(if requested by the Market-Maker) furnish the Market-Maker and its counsel with
a letter of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or other independent public accountants
for the Company or the Note Guarantors of nationally recognized standing) in
form satisfactory to the Market-Maker, addressed to the Market-Maker and dated
the date of delivery of such letter, (i) confirming that they are independent
public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and are in
compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of
accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission and, (ii) in all
other respects, substantially in the form of the letter delivered to the Initial
Purchasers pursuant to Section 5(g) of the Purchase Agreement, with, in the case
of an amendment or supplement to include audited financial information, such
changes as may be necessary to reflect the amended or supplemented financial
information.

            (h) The Company and the Note Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Market-Maker, on the other hand, hereby agree to indemnify each other, and, if
applicable, contribute to the other, in accordance with Sections 7 and 8 of this
Agreement.

            (i) The Company will comply with the provisions of this Section 6 at
its own expense and will reimburse the Market-Maker for its expenses associated
with this Section 6 (including reasonable fees of counsel for the Market-Maker).

            (j) The agreements contained in this Section 6 and the
representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement shall
survive all offers and sales of the Notes and Exchange Notes and shall remain in
full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancelation of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

            (k) For purposes of this Section 6, (i) any reference to the terms
"amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Market-Making
Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein shall be deemed to
refer to and include the filing under the Exchange Act of any document deemed to
be incorporated therein by reference and (ii) any reference to the terms "Notes"
or "Exchange Notes" shall be deemed to refer to and include any securities
issued in exchange for or with respect to such Notes or Exchange Notes.

            7. Indemnification. (a) In the event of a Shelf Registration
Statement or in connection with any prospectus delivery pursuant to an Exchange
Offer Registration Statement by the Initial Purchasers or Exchanging Dealer, as
applicable, or in connection with the Market-Making Registration Statement, the
Company and the Note Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder (including, without limitation, each of the Initial
Purchasers, the Market-Maker or such Exchanging Dealer), its affiliates, its
respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, and each
person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 7
and Section 8 as a Holder) from and against any loss, claim, damage or
liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including,
without limitation, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to
purchases and sales of Notes or Exchange Notes), to which that Holder may become
subject, whether commenced or threatened, under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out
of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any such Registration Statement or Market-Making
Registration Statement or any prospectus forming part thereof or in any
amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading or (iii) in the case of the Market-Maker, any material
breach by the Company of the representations, warranties and agreements
contained in Section 6, and shall reimburse each Holder (including, without
limitation, each of the Initial Purchasers, the Market-Maker or such Exchanging
Dealer) promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by that Holder in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to
defend against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that the Company and the Note Guarantors shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in
reliance upon and in conformity with any Holders' Information or Market-Maker's
Information, respectively; and provided further that with respect to any such
untrue statement in or omission from any related preliminary prospectus, the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not inure to the
benefit of any Holder from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action received Notes or Exchange Notes to the extent that
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action of or with respect to such Holder
results from the fact that both (A) a copy of the final prospectus was not sent
or given to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of
such Notes or Exchange Notes to such person and (B) the untrue statement in or
omission from the related preliminary prospectus was corrected in the final
prospectus unless, in either case, such failure to deliver the final prospectus
was a result of non-compliance by the Company with Section 4(d), 4(e), 4(f),
4(g) or 6(a)(v), as applicable.

                                                                              21

            (b) In (i) the event of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder
or (ii) connection with the Market-Making Registration Statement, the
Market-Maker, as applicable, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
affiliates, its respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and
agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of
this Section 7(b) and Section 8 as the Company), from and against any loss,
claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof,
to which the Company may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, under
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or state statutory law
or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration
Statement or Market-Making Registration Statement, respectively, or any
prospectus forming part thereof or in any amendment or supplement thereto or
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but
in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with any Holders' Information or Market-Maker's Information,
respectively, furnished to the Company by such Holder or the Market-Maker, and
shall reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by the Company in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to
defend against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that no such Holder or the Market-Maker shall be liable for
any indemnity claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received
by such Holder from the sale of Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement or prospectus.

            (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 7 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b), notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided,
however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent
that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive
rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it
may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any
such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall
notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled
to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to

<PAGE>

                                                                              22

the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
that an indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any
such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel for the
indemnified party will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1)
the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in
writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably
concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified party) that there may
be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are
different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3)
a conflict or potential conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to the
indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in
which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense
of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party
has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after
receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the
reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the
expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the
indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or
related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees,
disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to any local counsel) at any one time for all such indemnified party or
parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements
contained in Sections 7(a) and 7(b), shall use all reasonable efforts to
cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or
claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such
action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter
of such proceeding.

            8. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section
7(a) or 7(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect
thereof, (a) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company from the initial offering and sale of the
Notes, on the one hand, and by a Holder from receiving Notes or Exchange Notes,
as applicable, registered under the Securities Act or, if applicable, by

<PAGE>

                                                                              23

the Market-Maker from the filing and effectiveness of a Market-Making
Registration Statement, on the other, or (b) if the allocation provided by
clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a)
above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Note Guarantors, on the
one hand, and such Holder, on the other, with respect to the statements or
omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in
respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to the Company and the Note
Guarantors or information supplied by the Company and the Note Guarantors, on
the one hand, or to any Holders' Information or Market-Maker's Information,
respectively, supplied by such Holder, on the other, the intent of the parties
and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8 were
to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein.
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss,
claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in
this Section 8 shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such
action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, an
indemnifying party that is a Holder of Notes or Exchange Notes or the
Market-Maker shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the total price at which the Notes or Exchange Notes sold by
such indemnifying party to any purchaser exceeds the amount of any damages which
such indemnifying party has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of
any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

            9. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company and the Note Guarantors shall use
reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by them under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time
the Company and the Note Guarantors are not required to file such reports, they
will, upon the written request of any Holder of Transfer-Restricted Notes or the
Market-Maker, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to
permit sales of such Holder's or the Market-Maker's securities pursuant to Rules
144 and 144A. The Company and the Note Guarantors covenant that they will take
such further action as any Holder of Transfer-Restricted Notes or the
Market-Maker may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to
time to enable such Holder or the Market-Maker to sell Transfer-Restricted Notes
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including, without limitation, the

<PAGE>

                                                                              24

requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the written request of any Holder of
Transfer-Restricted Notes, the Company and the Note Guarantors shall deliver to
such Holder or the Market-Maker a written statement as to whether they have
complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 9 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its
securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

            10. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer-Restricted
Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an
underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager
or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Majority
Holders included in such offering, subject to the consent of the Company and the
Note Guarantors (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and such
Holders shall be responsible for all underwriting commissions and discounts in
connection therewith.

            No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer-Restricted Notes on
the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

            11. Miscellaneous. (a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of
this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or
consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the
Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes and the Exchange Notes, taken as a single class
(and, with respect to the provisions of Section 6, the written consent of the
Market-Maker). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from
the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders whose Notes or Exchange Notes are being sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the
rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes and the Exchange Notes being sold by such Holders
pursuant to such Registration Statement whose rights are so affected.

            (b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
      permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class
      mail, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing next-day delivery:

            (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder
      to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11(b),
      which address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of
      such Holder maintained by the registrar under the Indenture, with a copy
      in like manner to each Initial Purchaser;

<PAGE>

                                                                              25

            (ii) if to the Initial Purchasers or the Market-Maker, initially at
      their addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and

            (iii) if to the Company or the Note Guarantors, initially at the
      address of the Company set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

            All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been
duly given: when delivered by hand, if personally delivered; one business day
after being delivered to a next-day air courier; five business days after being
deposited in the mail; and when receipt is acknowledged by the recipient's
telecopier machine, if sent by telecopier.

            The Company and the Note Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers may,
by written notice to the other, designate additional or different addresses for
subsequent notices or communications.

            (c) Successors And Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Company and its successors and assigns.

            (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts (which may be delivered in original form or by telecopier) and by
the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

            (e) Definition of Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the
term "business day" means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is
open for trading, (ii) the term "subsidiary" has the meaning set forth in Rule
405 under the Securities Act and (iii) except where otherwise expressly
provided, the term "affiliate" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act.

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

            (g) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

            (h) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company, the Note
Guarantors or by any Holder of any of their obligations under this Agreement,
each Holder, the Company or the Note Guarantors, as the case may be, in addition
to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of
damages (other than the recovery of damages for a breach by the Company or the
Note Guarantors of their obligations under Section 1 or 2 hereof for which
additional interest has been paid pursuant to Section 3 hereof), will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The
Company, the Note Guarantors and each Holder agree that

<PAGE>

                                                                              26

monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by each such person of any of the provisions of this
Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific
performance in respect of such breach, each such person shall waive the defense
that a remedy at law would be adequate.

            (i) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each of the Company and the Note
Guarantors represents, warrants and agrees with the Initial Purchasers that (i)
it has not entered into, and shall not, on or after the date of this Agreement,
enter into any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof,
(ii) it has not previously entered into any agreement which remains in effect
granting any registration rights with respect to any of its debt securities to
any person and (iii) (with respect to the Company) without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the Majority Holders
and the Market-Maker, it shall not grant to any person the right to request the
Company to register any debt securities of the Company under the Securities Act
unless the rights so granted are not in conflict or inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement.

            (j) No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Company nor any of
its security holders (other than the Holders of Transfer-Restricted Notes in
such capacity) shall have the right to include any securities of the Company in
any Shelf Registration or Registered Exchange Offer other than
Transfer-Restricted Notes.

            (k) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of
this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties
hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means
to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by
such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of
such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

            Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver
a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. The Letter of
Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection
with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Notes where such Notes
were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180 days
after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it will make this Prospectus
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See
"Plan of Distribution."

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

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

            Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver
a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. This
Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in
exchange for Notes where such Notes were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a
period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as
amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection
with any such resale.

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

            For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the Company will
promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents
in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses
incident to the Registered Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel
for the Holders of the Notes) other than commissions or concessions of any
broker-dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Notes (including any
broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
