Dear Sirs:

JLG Industries, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "ISSUER"), proposes to
issue and sell to Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,
Banc One Capital Markets, Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Corp., Credit Lyonnais
Securities (USA) Inc., NatCity Investments, Inc. and SunTrust Capital Markets,
Inc. (collectively, the "INITIAL PURCHASERS"), upon the terms set forth in a
purchase agreement of even date herewith (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"),
$125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8 1/4 % Senior Notes Due 2008
(the "INITIAL SECURITIES") to be guaranteed (the "GUARANTIES") by the guarantors
listed on the signature page hereto (the "GUARANTORS" and, collectively with the
Issuer, the "COMPANY"). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an
Indenture, dated as of May 5 , 2003 (the INDENTURE"), among the Issuer, the
Guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York , as trustee (the "TRUSTEE").
As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement,
the Company agrees with the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the Initial
Purchasers and the holders of the Securities (as defined below) (collectively
the "HOLDERS"), as follows:

         1. Registered Exchange Offer. Unless not permitted by applicable law
(after the Company has complied with the ultimate paragraph of this Section 1),
the Company shall prepare and, not later than 90 days or, if such 90th day is
not a Business Day, by the first Business Day immediately thereafter, (such day
being a "FILING DEADLINE") after the date on which the Initial Purchasers
purchase the Initial Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the "CLOSING
DATE"), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") a
registration statement (the "EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on an
appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES
ACT"), with respect to a proposed offer (the "REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER") to the
Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who
are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in
the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange
for the Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities
of the Company issued under the Indenture, identical in all material respects to
the Initial Securities and registered under the Securities Act (the "EXCHANGE
SECURITIES"). The Company shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the
Securities Act within 210 days after the Closing Date or, if such 210th day is
not a Business Day, by the first Business Day immediately thereafter (such day
being an "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE") and (ii) keep the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement effective for not less than 20 Business Days (or longer, if required
by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is
mailed to the Holders (such period being called the


<PAGE>


"EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION PERIOD"). "BUSINESS DAY" means any day excluding
Saturday, Sunday or any other day which is a legal holiday under the laws of New
York, New York, or is a day on which banking institutions therein located are
authorized or required by law or other governmental action to close.

         If the Company commences the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company (i)
will be entitled to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer 20 Business Days
after such commencement (provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial
Securities theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the
Registered Exchange Offer) and (ii) will be required to consummate the
Registered Exchange Offer no later than 20 Business Days after the date on which
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective (such 20th
Business Day being the "CONSUMMATION DEADLINE").

         Following the declaration of 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 of Transfer Restricted Securities electing to exchange the
Initial Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an
affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the
Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder's business and has no
arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange
Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange
Securities 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 acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by
the Commission's staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an
applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a broker-dealer
electing to exchange Initial Securities, acquired for its own account as a
result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange
Securities (an "EXCHANGING DEALER"), is required to deliver a prospectus
containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b)
Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer Procedures" section and the "Purpose of
the Exchange Offer" section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the "Plan of
Distribution" section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of any such
Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an Initial Purchaser that elects to sell
Securities (as defined below) acquired in exchange for Initial Securities
constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, is required to deliver a
prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation
S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale.

         The Company shall use its commercially reasonable 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 lawfully
delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such
requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that
(i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto
must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such period
shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and
the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless
such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company
shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to
any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange
Securities for a period of not less than 180 days after the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer.

         If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial
Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial
distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange
Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to
such Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial Purchaser, in
exchange (the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE") for the Initial Securities held by such
Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Company
issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Initial
Securities (the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE SECURITIES"). The Initial Securities, the
Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively
called the "SECURITIES".


                                       2
<PAGE>


         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 notice thereof 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, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee;

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

                  (e) otherwise comply with all applicable laws.

         As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer
or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall:

                  (x) accept for exchange all the Securities validly tendered
         and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the
         Private Exchange;

                  (y) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial
         Securities so accepted for exchange; and

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

         The Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be
subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the
Securities will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that
none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class
separate from one another on any matter.

         Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will
accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the
Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been
paid on the Initial Securities, from the date of original issue of the Initial
Securities.

         Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be
required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities 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 Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of
the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule
405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or if it is an affiliate, such Holder
will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is not a
broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the
distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a
broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to
acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Securities.


                                       3

         Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company 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
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 include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state 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.

         If following the date hereof there has been announced a change in
Commission policy with respect to exchange offers that in the reasonable opinion
of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the
Registered Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company
will seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission
allowing the Company to consummate the Registered Exchange Offer. The Company
will pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level. In
connection with the foregoing, the Company will 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 (i) participating in
telephonic conferences with the Commission, (ii) 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 the Registered
Exchange Offer should be permitted and (iii) diligently pursuing a resolution
(which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff.

         2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or in
applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission, the Company
is not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by
Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated by the
240th day after the Closing Date, (iii) any Initial Purchaser so requests within
30 days of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the
Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) not eligible to be
exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and held by
it following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder
(other than an Exchanging Dealer) is not eligible to participate in the
Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case of any Holder (other than an
Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer, such
Holder does not receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities on the date of the
exchange and any such Holder so requests within 30 days of the consummation of
the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall take the following actions (the
date on which any of the conditions described in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (iv) occur, including in the case of clauses (iii) or (iv) the receipt
of the required notice, being a "TRIGGER DATE"):

                  (a) The Company shall promptly (but in no event more than 30
         days after the Trigger Date (such 30th day being a "FILING DEADLINE"))
         file with the Commission and thereafter use its commercially reasonable
         efforts to cause to be declared effective no later than 90 days after
         the Trigger Date (such 90th day being an "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE") a
         registration statement (the "SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT" and,
         together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a
         "REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on an appropriate form under the Securities
         Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted
         Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with
         the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration
         Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the
         "SHELF Registration"); provided, however, that no Holder (other than an
         Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it
         covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees
         in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement
         applicable to such Holder.

                  (b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
         to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in
         order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully
         delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of
         two years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section
         3(j) below) from the date of its effectiveness or such shorter period
         that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf
         Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) are
         no longer restricted securities (as defined


                                       4
<PAGE>


         in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof).
         The Company shall be deemed not to have used its commercially
         reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective
         during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that
         would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to
         offer and sell such Securities during that period, unless such action
         is required by applicable law or pursuant to Section 3(b)(vi) hereof.

                  (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to
         the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement
         and the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as
         of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or
         supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable
         requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
         Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material
         fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
         necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

         3. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration
contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any Registered
Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall
apply:

                  (a) The Company shall (i) furnish to each Initial Purchaser,
         prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the
         Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement,
         if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that an
         Initial Purchaser (with respect to any portion of an unsold allotment
         from the original offering) is participating in the Registered Exchange
         Offer or the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its
         commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when
         so filed with the Commission, such comments as such Initial Purchaser
         reasonably may propose; (ii) include the information set forth in Annex
         A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer
         Procedures" section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section 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 the information set forth in Annex D hereto in the Letter
         of Transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer;
         (iii) if requested by an Initial Purchaser, include the information
         required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities
         Act, as applicable, in the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange
         Offer Registration Statement; (iv) include within the prospectus
         contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section
         entitled "Plan of Distribution," reasonably acceptable to the Initial
         Purchasers, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions
         taken or policies made by the staff of the Commission with respect to
         the potential "underwriter" status of any broker-dealer that is the
         beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
         Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of Exchange
         Securities received by such broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange
         Offer (a "PARTICIPATING BROKER-DEALER"), whether such positions or
         policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the Commission
         or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of the
         Initial Purchasers based upon advice of counsel (which may be in-house
         counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff of the
         Commission; and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement,
         include the names of the Holders who propose to sell Securities
         pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement as selling
         securityholders.

                  (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Initial
         Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any Participating
         Broker-Dealer from whom the Company has received prior written notice
         that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Registered
         Exchange Offer (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall
         be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus
         until the requisite changes have been made):

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


                                       5
<PAGE>


                           (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments
                  or supplements to the 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 the Registration
                  Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
                  purpose;

                           (iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal
                  counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of
                  the qualification of the Securities for sale in any
                  jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
                  proceeding for such purpose;

                           (v) of the happening of any event that requires the
                  Company to make changes in the Registration Statement or the
                  prospectus in order that the Registration Statement or the
                  prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material
                  fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated
                  therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the
                  case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under
                  which they were made) not misleading; and

                           (vi) of the suspension by the Company, in the
                  exercise of its reasonable judgment, of the use of the
                  Registration Statement or prospectus for a period not to
                  exceed 30 days in any six-month period or an aggregate of 45
                  days in any twelve-month period for valid business reasons
                  (not including avoidance of its obligations hereunder) to
                  avoid premature public disclosure of a pending corporate
                  transaction, including pending acquisitions or divestitures of
                  assets, mergers and combinations and similar events. Upon the
                  abandonment, consummation or termination of the possible
                  acquisitions or divestitures of assets, mergers and
                  combinations and similar events, the suspension of the use of
                  the Registration Statement or prospectus shall cease and the
                  Company shall promptly comply with Section 3(j) hereof and
                  notify the Holders that disposition of Transfer Restricted
                  Securities may resume.

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

                  (d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities
         included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge,
         at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any
         post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
         schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits
         thereto (including those, if any, incorporated by reference).

                  (e) The Company shall deliver to each Exchanging Dealer and
         each Initial Purchaser, and to any other Holder who so requests,
         without charge, at least one copy of the Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial
         statements and schedules, and, if any Initial Purchaser or any such
         Holder requests, all exhibits thereto (including those incorporated by
         reference).

                  (f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period,
         deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of
         the Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the
         prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the
         Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as
         such person may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to
         the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any
         amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of the
         Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities
         covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto,

                  (g) The Company shall deliver to each Initial Purchaser, any
         Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other
         persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered
         Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus
         included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment
         or supplement thereto as such persons may reasonably request. The
         Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the
         use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any
         Initial Purchaser, if necessary, any Participating Broker-Dealer and
         such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the
         Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of
         the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or
         supplement thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration
         Statement.

                  (h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities pursuant to
         any Registration Statement the Company shall register or qualify or
         cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their
         respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification
         of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or "blue sky"
         laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the
         Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts
         or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such
         jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement;
         provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i)
         qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not
         then so qualified; (ii) file any general consent to serve process; or
         (iii) take any action which would subject it to general service of
         process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
         subject.

                  (i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the
         Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
         certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any
         Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such
         denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a
         reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to
         such Registration Statement.

                  (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
         paragraphs (ii) through (vi) of Section 3(b) above during the period
         for which the Company is required to maintain an effective Registration
         Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective
         amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related
         prospectus and any other required document (except, in the event of a
         suspension of the effectiveness thereof in accordance with Section
         3(b)(vi), the Company shall not be obligated to file a post-effective
         amendment or supplement the related prospectus until the termination of
         the suspension and only if such amendment or supplement is then still
         required) so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the Securities
         or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue
         statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
         required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
         misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders
         of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in
         accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (vi) of Section 3(b) above to
         suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the
         prospectus have been made, then the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of
         the Securities and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend
         use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf
         Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the
         Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above
         shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the
         date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the
         Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known
         Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or
         supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j) or the Company
         shall have notified such Holders that disposition of such Transfer
         Restricted Securities may resume under the existing prospectus.

                  (k) Not later than the effective date of the applicable
         Registration Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for the
         Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
         Securities, as the case may be, and provide the applicable trustee with
         printed


                                       7
<PAGE>


         certificates for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the
         Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for
         deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

                  (l) The Company will comply with all rules and regulations of
         the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the
         Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make
         generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in
         accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings
         statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
         Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90
         days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month
         of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective
         date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such
         12-month period.

                  (m) The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified
         under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner
         and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such
         qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the
         appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall
         appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions
         of the Indenture.

                  (n) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be
         sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the
         Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of
         the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require
         for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may
         exclude from such registration the Securities of any Holder that
         unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time
         after receiving such request.

                  (o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements
         (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form)
         and take all such other action, if any, as any Holder of the Securities
         shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the
         Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration.

                  (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall
         (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of the
         Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant
         to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or
         other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such
         underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent
         corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the
         Company's officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to
         supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of
         the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent
         in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as
         shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a
         reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the
         Securities Act; provided, however, that any information that is
         designated in writing by the Company as confidential at the time of
         delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by the Holders
         of the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or
         agent, unless (i) disclosure thereof is made in connection with a court
         proceeding or required by law or the rules and regulations of any stock
         exchange or any dealer quotation system; provided that each Holder of
         the Securities and any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent
         will, upon learning that disclosure of such information is sought in a
         court proceeding or required by law or the rules and regulations of any
         stock exchange or any dealer quotation system, give notice to the
         Company with enough time to allow the Company to undertake appropriate
         action to prevent disclosure at the Company's sole expense, or (ii)
         such information has previously been made or becomes available to the
         public generally through the Company or through a third party without
         an accompanying obligation of confidentiality; provided further,
         however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall
         be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by you and on behalf
         of the other parties, by one counsel designated by and on behalf of
         such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof.

                  (q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if
         requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall cause (i)
         its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof relating to the
         Securities in customary form addressed to such Holders and the managing
         underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial
         opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (it
         being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall
         include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good standing of
         the Company and its subsidiaries; the qualification of the Company and
         its subsidiaries to transact business as foreign corporations; the due
         authorization, execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the
         type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the due authorization,
         execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and
         enforceability, of the applicable Securities; the absence of material
         legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company and its
         subsidiaries; the absence of governmental approvals required to be
         obtained in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the
         offering and sale of the applicable Securities, or any agreement of the
         type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the compliance as to form of
         such Shelf Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by
         reference therein and of the Indenture with the requirements of the
         Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, respectively; and, as of
         the date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf
         Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto,
         as the case may be, the absence from such Shelf Registration Statement
         and the prospectus included therein, as then amended or supplemented,
         and from any documents incorporated by reference therein of an untrue
         statement of a material fact or the omission to state therein a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading (in the case of any such documents,
         in the light of the circumstances existing at the time that such
         documents were filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act); (ii)
         its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and
         certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the
         applicable Securities and (iii) its independent public accountants to
         provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any
         underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering
         matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in
         connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of
         appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by
         Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72.

                  (r) In the case of the Registered Exchange Offer, if requested
         by any Initial Purchaser or any known Participating Broker-Dealer, the
         Company shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver to such Initial
         Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer a signed opinion in the
         form set forth in Section 6(c) of the Purchase Agreement with such
         changes as are customary in connection with the preparation of a
         Registration Statement and (ii) its independent public accountants to

         Agreement, with appropriate date changes.

                  (s) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to
         be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to
         the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in
         exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
         Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or caused to be
         marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such Initial
         Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities
         or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event
         shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

                  (t) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts
         to (a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial
         sale of such Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the
         Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial
         Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a
         Registration Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating
         agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate
         principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement,
         or by the managing underwriters, if any.

         participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating
         to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in
         respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by

         Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent
         underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters
         provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to

         to comply with the requirements of the Rules.

                  (v) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts

         for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared.

         5. Indemnification.

                  (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
         Holder of the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each
         person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating
         Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
         Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling
         persons are referred to collectively as the "INDEMNIFIED PARTIES") from
         and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
         several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited
         to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to
         purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party
         may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
         otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
         actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
         untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration
         Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in
         any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise
         out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state
         therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
         make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as
         incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses
         reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
         defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect
         thereof; provided, however, that -------- ------- (i) the Company shall
         not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim,
         damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement
         or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a
         Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
         thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf
         Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written
         information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by
         or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii)
         with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
         statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a
         Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this
         subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or
         Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such
         losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities
         concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities
         was required to be delivered by such Holder or Participating
         Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase
         and any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder or
         Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not
         sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation
         of the sale of such Securities to such person, a copy of the final
         prospectus if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to
         such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided further, however,
         that this indemnity agreement will be -------- ------- ------- in
         addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such
         Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their
         officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters
         within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the
         same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of
         the Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders.

                  (b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly,
         will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any,
         who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or
         the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or
         liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or
         any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities
         Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
         damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any
         untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
         contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment
         or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a
         Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
         alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent
         that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
         omission was made in


                                       11

         reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to
         such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder
         specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set
         forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred,
         the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
         Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating
         or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect
         thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability
         which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its
         controlling persons.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
         Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding
         (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will,
         if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
         party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the
         commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party
         shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under
         subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been
         materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or
         defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to
         notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
         that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under
         subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against
         any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
         commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
         participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with
         any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
         thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party
         (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be
         counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the
         indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
         assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to
         such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other
         expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently
         incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
         thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent
         of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
         threatened action 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 (i) includes an
         unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on
         any claims that are 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 any indemnified party.

                  (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is
         unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
         subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall
         contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
         result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
         respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above in such
         proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
         indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party
         on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that
         resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
         respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable
         considerations. The relative fault of the parties 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
         on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the
         case may be, on the other, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
         access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
         statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a
         result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the
         first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any
         legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
         in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which
         is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other
         provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders of the Securities shall not
         be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
         the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the
         Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of
         damages which such Holders have 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


                                       12
<PAGE>


         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. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if
         any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the
         Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
         contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who
         controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
         Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

                  (e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive
         the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and
         shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or
         cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on
         behalf of any indemnified party.

         6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances.

                  (a) Additional interest (the "ADDITIONAL INTEREST") with
         respect to the Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the
         following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (iv)
         below being herein called a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"):

                           (i) any Registration Statement required by this
                  Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the
                  applicable Filing Deadline;

                           (ii) any Registration Statement required by this
                  Agreement is not declared effective by the Commission on or
                  prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline;

                           (iii) the Registered Exchange Offer has not been
                  consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline; or

                           (iv) any Registration Statement required by this
                  Agreement has been declared effective by the Commission but
                  (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be
                  effective or (B) such Registration Statement or the related
                  prospectus ceases to be usable in connection with resales of
                  Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified
                  herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of
                  which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration
                  Statement would include any 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, (2) it shall be necessary
                  to amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related
                  prospectus, to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange
                  Act or the respective rules thereunder, or (3) the Company has
                  suspended the use of the Registration Statement or prospectus
                  pursuant to Section 3(b)(vi).

         Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever
         the reason for any such event and whether it is voluntary or
         involuntary or is beyond the control of the Company or pursuant to
         operation of law or as a result of any action or inaction by the
         Commission .

         Additional Interest shall accrue on the Securities over and above the
         interest set forth in the title of the Securities from and including
         the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but
         excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been
         cured, at a rate of 0.25% per annum (the "ADDITIONAL INTEREST RATE")
         for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
         such Registration Default. The Additional Interest Rate shall increase
         by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day
         period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum
         Additional Interest Rate of 1.50% per annum.

                  (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(iv)
         hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in
         relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if
         (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x)
         the filing of a


                                       13
<PAGE>


         post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to
         incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the
         Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and
         needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related
         prospectus or (y) other material events (other than events with respect
         to which the Company has suspended the use of the Registration
         Statement or prospectus in accordance with Section 3(b)(vi)), with
         respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf
         Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case
         of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to
         amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related
         prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case
         if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess
         of 30 days, Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with the
         above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until
         such Registration Default is cured.

                  (c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section
         6(a) will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with
         respect to the Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be
         determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest Rate by
         the principal amount of the Securities and further multiplied by a
         fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional
         Interest Rate was applicable during such period (determined on the
         basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the
         denominator of which is 360.

                  (d) "TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES" means each Security until
         (i) the date on which such Security has been exchanged by a person
         other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable Exchange Security
         in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a
         broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer of an Initial Security
         for an Exchange Note, the date on which such Exchange Note is sold to a
         purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date
         of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
         Registration Statement, (iii) the date on which such Security has been
         effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in
         accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the date on
         which such Security 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.

         7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the
Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any
Holder of Securities, make publicly available other information so long as
necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A (or
any successor rule adopted by the Commission). The Company covenants that it
will take such further action as any Holder of Securities may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the
requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this
Agreement to prospective purchasers of Initial Securities identified to the
Company by the Initial Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder
of Initial Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written
statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company
to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

         8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers
that will administer the offering ("MANAGING UNDERWRITERS") will be selected by
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer
Restricted Securities to be included in such offering.

         No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted
Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii)
completes


                                       14
<PAGE>


and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

         9. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any
         failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 1
         and 2 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 obligations under Sections 1 and 2
         hereof. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action
         for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

                  (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not 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. 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 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 departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by
         the Company and the written consent of the Holders of a majority in
         principal amount of the Securities affected by such amendment,
         modification, supplement, waiver or consents. Without the consent of
         the Holder of each Security, however, no modification may change the
         provisions relating to the payment of Additional Interest.

                  (d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
         or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery,
         first-class mail, facsimile transmission, or air courier which

         the day delivered, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next
         day delivery.

                  (e) Third Party Beneficiaries. The Holders shall be third
         party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the
         Company, 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 their rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

                  (f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
         upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

                  (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
         of counterparts 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.

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

                  (i) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
         CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
         REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

                  (j) Severability. If any one or more of the provisions
         contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is
         held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
         enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the
         remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired
         thereby.

                  (k) Securities Held by the Company. Whenever the consent or
         approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of
         Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its
         affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such
         subsequent Holders are deemed to be affiliates solely by reason of
         their holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in determining
         whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such
         required percentage.

agreement, please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon
this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement

its terms.

         Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own
account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 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 Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities
where such Initial Securities 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 Securities for its own
account in exchange for Initial Securities, where such Initial Securities 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 Securities. See "Plan of

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own
account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 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 Securities received in
exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities 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. In addition, until , 200 , all dealers
effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a
prospectus.(1)

         The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange
Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for
their own account pursuant to the 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 Securities 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 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
Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were
received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker
or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be
deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any
profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities 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 Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the
Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers
or dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Securities (including any
broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
