	2.	 	Exchange Offer






	 	(a)	 	Unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable laws or a
policy of the SEC, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) (i)
prepare and file with the SEC promptly after the date hereof, but in no event later
than the Filing Date, a registration statement (the “Exchange Registration
Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to an
offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to the Holders of Notes to issue and deliver to
such Holders, in exchange for the Notes, a like principal amount of Exchange Notes,
(ii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Registration
Statement to be declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, (iii) use its
best efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective until the
consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with its terms, and (iv) commence the
Exchange Offer and use all commercially reasonable efforts to issue on or prior to 30
Business Days after the date on which the Exchange Registration Statement is declared
effective, Exchange Notes in exchange for all Notes tendered prior thereto in the
Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than
that the Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable
interpretation of the staff of the SEC.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Exchange Notes shall be issued under, and entitled to the benefits of the
Indenture or a trust indenture that is identical to the Indenture (other than such
changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or
maintain the qualifications thereof under the TIA).
	 
	 	(c)	 	Interest on the Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes will accrue from the
last interest payment due 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 date of
original issue of the Notes. Each Exchange Note and Private Exchange Note shall bear
interest at the rate set forth thereon; provided, that interest with respect to the
period prior to the issuance thereof shall accrue at the rate or rates borne by the
Notes from time to time during such period.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Company may require each Holder as a condition to participation in the
Exchange Offer to represent (i) that any Exchange Notes received by it will be acquired
in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) that at the time of the commencement and
consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder has not entered into any arrangement or
understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of
the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the
Securities Act, (iii) that if such Holder is an “affiliate” of the either of the
Company within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act, it will comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent
applicable to it, (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 Notes and (v) if such
Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer, that it will deliver a Prospectus in
connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes.




 









 












	 	(e)	 	The Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) include
within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement a section
entitled “Plan of Distribution” reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchaser which
shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff
of the SEC with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that
is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange
Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer for its own account in
exchange for Notes that were acquired by it as a result of market-making or other
trading activity (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or
policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or
policies, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, represent the prevailing views of
the staff of the SEC. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also allow, to the
extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, the use of the
Prospectus by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act, including, to the extent so permitted, all Participating
Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the manner in which Participating
Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes. The Company shall use its best efforts
to keep the Exchange 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 Notes (the “Applicable Period”).
	 
	 	(f)	 	If, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchaser holds any
Notes acquired by it and having the status of an unsold allotment in the initial
distribution, the Company (upon the written request from the Initial Purchaser) shall,
simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, issue and
deliver to the Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the
Notes held by the Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of Senior Notes that are
identical to the Exchange Notes except for the existence of restrictions on transfer
thereof under the Securities Act and securities laws of the several states of the
United States (the “Private Exchange Notes”) (and which are issued pursuant to
the same indenture as the Exchange Notes). The Private Exchange Notes shall bear the
same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes.
	 
	 	(g)	 	In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (and shall cause each
Subsidiary Guarantor to):






	 	(i)	 	mail to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the
Exchange Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of
transmittal that is an exhibit to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
and any related documents;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days after the date
notice thereof is mailed to the Holders (or longer if required by applicable
law)
	 
	 	(iii)	 	utilize the services of a depository for the Exchange Offer with an
address in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, which may be the
Trustee or an affiliate thereof;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Notes at any time
prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on
which the Exchange Offer shall remain open; and
	 
	 	(v)	 	otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.




 









 












	 	(h)	 	As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer or the Private
Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary
Guarantor to):






	 	(i)	 	accept for exchange all Registrable Notes validly tendered pursuant to
the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, and not validly
withdrawn;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes so
accepted for exchange; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each
Holder tendering such Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange
Notes, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Notes of such
Holder so accepted for exchange.






	 	(i)	 	The Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes may be issued under (i) the
Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical to the Indenture (other than such changes as
are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the
qualification thereof under the TIA), which in either event will provide that the
Exchange Notes will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the
Indenture, that the Private Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions
set forth in the Indenture, and that the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and
the Notes, if any, will be deemed one class of security (subject to the provisions of
the Indenture) and entitled to participate in any Subsidiary Guarantee (as such terms
are defined in the Indenture) on an equal and ratable basis.
	 
	 	(j)	 	If: (i)the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are not required to file an
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (ii) the Company and the Guarantors are not
permitted to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted
by applicable law or SEC policy, or (iii) within 20 Business Days following the
Consummation of the Exchange Offer, any Holder of Registrable Notes notifies the
Company that (a) it is prohibited by applicable law or SEC policy from participating in
the Exchange Offer; (b) it may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the
Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus (other than by reason of
such Holder’s status as an Affiliate of the Company) and the Prospectus contained in
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such
resales or (c) it is a broker-dealer and owns Notes acquired directly from the Company
or an Affiliate of the Company, then the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall
promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) deliver to the Holders (or in the
case of an occurrence of any event described in clause (iii) of this Section 2(j), to
any such Holder) and the Trustee notice thereof (the “Shelf Notice”) and shall
file an Initial Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3.






	3.	 	Shelf Registration





     If a Shelf Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 2(j), then this Section 3 shall apply to
all Registrable Notes. Otherwise, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with
Section 2, the provisions of Section 3 shall apply solely with respect to (i) Notes held by any
Holder thereof not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, (ii) Notes held by any
broker-dealer that acquired such Notes directly from the Company or any of its affiliates and (iii)
Exchange Notes that are not freely tradeable as contemplated by Section 2(j)(iii) hereof, provided
in each case that the relevant Holder has duly notified the Company within 20 Business Days of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer as required by Section 2(j)(iii).



 









 






	 	(a)	 	Initial Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each
Subsidiary Guarantor to), as promptly as practicable, file with the SEC a Registration
Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415
covering all of the Registrable Notes (the “Initial Shelf Registration”) on or
prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises. The Company shall (and shall
cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such Initial Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or
prior to the Effectiveness Date. The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-1 or
another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Notes for resale
by Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including, without
limitation, one or more underwritten offerings). The Company and Subsidiary Guarantors
shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Notes to be included in any
Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to)
use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Shelf Registration
continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is two years from
the Closing Date (subject to extension pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6(w))
(the “Effectiveness Period”), or such shorter period ending when (i) all
Registrable Notes covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the
manner set forth and as contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration (ii) a
Subsequent Shelf Registration covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not
sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration
has been declared effective under the Securities Act or (iii) there cease to be any
outstanding Registrable Notes.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration or
any Subsequent Shelf Registration (as defined below) ceases to be effective for any
reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of
all of the securities registered thereunder), the Company shall (and shall cause each
Subsidiary Guarantor to) use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 30 days of
such cessation of effectiveness amend such Shelf Registration in a manner to obtain the
withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file (and cause each
Subsidiary Guarantor to file) an additional “shelf” Registration Statement pursuant to
Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (a “Subsequent Shelf
Registration”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall
(and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective as soon as
practicable after such filing and to keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration
continuously effective for a period equal to the number of days in the Effectiveness
Period less the aggregate number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration or
any Subsequent Shelf Registration was previously continuously effective. As used
herein the term “Shelf Registration” means the Initial Shelf Registration and any
Subsequent Shelf Registrations
	 
	 	(c)	 	Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall promptly supplement and
amend any Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or instructions
applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf Registration, if required by
the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested in writing by the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Shelf
Registration or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Provision of Information. No Holder of Registrable Notes shall be
entitled to include any of its Registrable Notes in any Shelf Registration pursuant to
this Agreement unless such Holder furnishes to the Company and the Trustee in writing,
within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor, such information as the
Company and the Trustee after conferring




 









 












	 	 	 	with counsel with regard to information relating to Holders that would be required
by the SEC to be included in such Shelf Registration or Prospectus included therein,
may reasonably request for inclusion in any Shelf Registration or Prospectus
included therein, and no such Holder shall be entitled to Liquidated Damages
pursuant to Section 4 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided such
information.






	4.	 	Liquidated Damages






	 	(a)	 	The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the
Holders of Registrable Notes will suffer damages if the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor fails to fulfill its material obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof
and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with
precision. Accordingly, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree to pay
additional cash interest on the Notes (“Liquidated Damages”) under the
circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall be given
independent effect):






	 	(i)	 	if neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf
Registration has been filed on or prior to the applicable Filing Date,
Liquidated Damages shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest
at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for the
first 90 days immediately following the applicable Filing Date, such Liquidated
Damages rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of
each subsequent 90-day period;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf
Registration is declared effective on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness
Date, Liquidated Damages shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated
interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for
the first 90 days immediately following the applicable Effectiveness Date, such
Liquidated Damages rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the
beginning of each subsequent 90-day period;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	if (A) the Company (and any Subsidiary Guarantor) has not exchanged
Exchange Notes for all Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of
the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 30 Business Days after the Effectiveness
Date, (B) the Exchange Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any
time prior to the time that the Exchange Offer is consummated, (C) if
applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and such Shelf
Registration ceases to be effective at any time prior to the second anniversary
of its effective date (other than such time as all Notes have been disposed of
thereunder) and is not declared effective again within 30 days, or (D) if the
board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that (i) the
disclosure of an event, occurrence or other item at that time would reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, or
prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries or (ii) the disclosure otherwise
relates to a material business transaction or development relating to the
Company that has not yet been publicly disclosed and the board of directors
also determines, in good, faith, that any disclosure thereof would jeopardize
the success of the transaction or that disclosure of the transaction is
prohibited by the terms thereof, and the Company issues a written notice
pursuant to Section 6(e)(v) or (vi) that a Shelf Registration Statement or
Exchange Registration Statement is unusable and the aggregate number of days in
any 365-day period for which all such notices issued or required to be issued,
have been, or were required to be, in effect exceeds




 









 












	 	 	 	120 days in the aggregate or 30 days consecutively, in the case of a Shelf
Registration statement, or 15 days in the aggregate in the case of an
Exchange Registration Statement, then Liquidated Damages shall accrue on the
Notes, over and above any stated interest, at a rate of 0.25% per annum of
the principal amount of such Notes commencing on (w) the 31st Business Day
after the Effectiveness Date, in the case of (A) above, or (x) the date the
Exchange Registration Statement ceases to be effective without being
declared effective again within 30 days, in the case of clause (B) above, or
(y) the day such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective in the case of
(C) above, or (z) the day the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf
Registration ceases to be usable in case of clause (D) above, such
Liquidated Damages rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the
beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period;






	 	 	 	provided, however, that the maximum Liquidated Damages rate on the Notes may not
exceed at any one time in the aggregate 1.00% per annum; and provided further, that
(1) upon the filing of the Exchange Registration Statement or Initial Shelf
Registration (in the case of (i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange
Registration Statement or Initial Shelf Registration (in the case of (ii) above), or
(3) upon the exchange of Exchange Notes for all Notes tendered (in the case of
(iii)(A) above), or upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement
that had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clause (iii)(B) above), or upon
the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration which had ceased to remain effective (in
the case of (iii)(C) above), Liquidated Damages on the Notes as a result of such
clause (or the relevant subclause thereof) or upon the usability of such
Registration Statement or Exchange Registration Statement (in the case of clause
(iii)(D) above), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Company shall notify the Trustee within 3 Business Days after each and
every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Liquidated Damages is required
to be paid (an “Event Date”). Any amounts of Liquidated Damages due pursuant
to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this Section 4 will be payable in cash, on the
dates and in the manner provided in the Indenture and whether or not any cash interest
would then be payable on such date, commencing with the first such semi-annual date
occurring after any such Liquidated Damages commences to accrue. The amount of
Liquidated Damages will be determined by multiplying the applicable Liquidated Damages
rate by the principal amount of the Notes, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of days such Liquidated Damages rate was applicable during such
period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months
and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed), and the
denominator of which is 360.






	5.	 	[Reserved].






	6.	 	Registration Procedures





     In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2 or 3
hereof, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) effect such registrations
to permit the sale of such securities covered thereby in accordance with the intended method or
methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in connection with any Registration
Statement filed by the Company hereunder, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary
Guarantor to):




	 	(a)	 	Prepare and file with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Date, the Exchange
Registration Statement or if required by Section 2(j), a Shelf Registration as
prescribed by Section 3, and




 









 












	 	 	 	use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to
become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided that, if (1) a
Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (2) a Prospectus contained in
an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to
sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto, before filing any
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto the
Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to), if requested, furnish
to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Notes to be registered pursuant to such
Shelf Registration Statement, each Participating Broker-Dealer, the managing
underwriters, if any, and each of their respective counsel, a reasonable opportunity
to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be
incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in
each case at least 5 Business Days prior to such filing). The Company and each
Subsidiary Guarantor shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or
any amendments or supplements thereto in respect of which the Holders must provide
information for the inclusion therein without the Holders being afforded an
opportunity to review such documentation if the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement, or
any such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriters,
if any, or any of their respective counsel shall reasonably object in writing on a
timely basis. A Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if
such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as
proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or
fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes, the Exchange Notes or
the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture (or other
indenture relating to the Registrable Notes) to be qualified under the TIA not later
than the effective date of the first Registration Statement; and in connection
therewith, to effect such changes to such indenture as may be required for such
indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such trustee to execute, all documents
as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents required
to be filed with the SEC to enable such indenture to be so qualified in a timely
manner.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Prepare and file with the SEC such pre-effective amendments and post-effective
amendments to each Shelf Registration or Exchange Registration Statement, as the case
may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective
for the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be; cause the
related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement required by
applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar
provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to them with respect
to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so
amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent
resale of any securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any

the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as
the case may be, and the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale
by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes pursuant to, such Prospectus and

filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment,
when the same has become effective (including in such notice a written statement that
any Holder may, upon request, obtain, without charge, one conformed copy of such
Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements and
schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and
exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the

the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor contained in any agreement (including any
underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6(n) hereof cease to be true and
correct, (iv) of the receipt by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Notes or the
Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any
jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v)
of the happening of any event, the existence of any condition of any information
becoming known that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in,
or amendments or supplements to, such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents
so that, in the case of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, it will not
contain any 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, (vi) of any reasonable
determination by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor that a post-effective

suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from
qualification) of any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any
Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is
issued, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such
order at the earliest possible date.
	 
	 	(g)	 	If (A) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, (B) a Prospectus

post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received
notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplements or
post-effective amendment.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Prior to any public offering of Registrable Notes or any delivery of a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement by any Participating
Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the
selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the
case may be, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with
the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or
qualification) of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, for

United States as any selling Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer or any managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, reasonably request in writing; provided that where
Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or Registrable Notes are offered
other than through an underwritten offering, the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor

registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 6(h),
keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during
the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and
all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in
such jurisdictions of the Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or the
Registrable Notes covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided that
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to (A) qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B)
take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any
such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
	 
	 	(i)	 	If (A) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (B) a Prospectus
contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is
requested to be delivered




 









 












	 	 	 	under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell
Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, cooperate with the selling Holders of
Registrable Notes and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Notes to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive
legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust

Holder’s business, in which case the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary
Guarantor to) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration
Statement and the granting of such approvals; provided that neither the Company
nor any existing Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any action
that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is
not then so subject.
	 
	 	(k)	 	If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer

deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes being sold
thereunder or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom such Prospectus will be
delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer, such Prospectus will 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, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, and, if SEC review is required, use its
best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as

underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions of
counsel to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors requested in underwritten
offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the
circumstances; (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof (which

claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially
involving such Inspector and arising out of, based upon, related to, or involving
this Agreement, or any transaction contemplated hereby or arising hereunder. Each
selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer
will be required to agree that information obtained by it as a result of such
inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis
for any market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such
is made generally available to the public. Each Inspector, each selling Holder of
such Registrable Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to
further agree that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought
in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and, to the extent
practicable, use its best efforts to allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential at its
expense.
	 
	 	(o)	 	Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally
available to the security holders of the Company with regard to any Applicable

after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at
the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Notes are sold to underwriters in a
firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to
underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal
quarter of the Company after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which
statements shall cover said 12-month periods.
	 
	 	(p)	 	Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, obtain an opinion
of counsel to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (in form, scope and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchaser), addressed to the Trustee for the
benefit of all Holders participating in the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as the
case may be, to the effect that (i) the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have duly
authorized, executed and delivered the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as
the case may be, and the Indenture and (ii) the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange
Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with their respective terms, except
as such enforcement may be subject to customary United States and foreign exceptions.
	 
	 	(q)	 	If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon
delivery of the Registrable Notes by the Holders to the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors (or to such other Person as directed by the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors) in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the
case may be, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall mark, or caused to be
marked, on such Registrable Notes that the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange
Notes, as the case may be, are being issued as substitute evidence of the indebtedness
originally evidenced by the Registrable Notes; provided that in no event shall such
Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.
	 
	 	(r)	 	Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any Registration
Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such
Registrable Notes and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required

	 	(s)	 	Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Securities covered by a
Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which
similar debt securities issued by the Company are then listed.

necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration
Statement contemplated hereby.
	 
	 	(u)	 	The Company may require each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating
Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company
such information regarding such seller or Participating Broker-Dealer and the
distribution of such Registrable Notes as the Company may, from time to time,
reasonably request in writing. The Company may exclude from such registration the
Registrable Notes of any seller who fails to furnish such information within a
reasonable time (which time in no event shall exceed 30 days, subject to Section 3(d))
hereof) after receiving such request. Each seller of Registrable Notes or
Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected agrees to
furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to
make the information previously furnished by such seller not materially misleading.
	 
	 	(v)	 	Each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees
by acquisition of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon receipt of any notice from

6(e)(iv), 6(e)(v), or 6(e)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
such Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement and such Participating
Broker-Dealer will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Exchange Notes pursuant to
any Prospectus and, in each case, forthwith discontinue dissemination of such
Prospectus until such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the copies

advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of
any amendments or supplements thereto and, if so directed by the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be,
will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such
Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such
Registrable Notes current at the time of the receipt of such notice. In the event the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall give any such notice, the Applicable Period
shall be extended by the number of days during such periods from and including the date
of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each Participating
Broker-Dealer shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k) or (y) the Advice.

	8.	 	Indemnification






	 	(a)	 	Indemnification by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder of Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes and
each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period,
each Person, if any, who controls each such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors
and partners of each such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer and controlling person,
to the fullest




 









 












	 	 	 	extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable
attorneys’ fees as provided in this Section 8) and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating,
preparing, pursuing or defending against any of the foregoing) (collectively,
“Losses”), as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based
upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of
prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary
prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a 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, except insofar as
such Losses are solely based upon information relating to such Holder or
Participating Broker-Dealer and furnished in writing to the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors (or reviewed and approved in writing) by such Holder or
Participating Broker-Dealer or their counsel expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be liable to any
Indemnified Party (as defined below) under this Section 8 to the extent Losses were
solely caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission that was contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and corrected in
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto if (i) the Prospectus does not
contain any other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission of a material fact that was the subject matter of the related proceeding,
(ii) any such Losses resulted from an action, claim or suit by any Person who
purchased Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes which are the subject thereof from
such Indemnified Party and (iii) it is established in the related proceeding that
such Indemnified Party failed to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented) to such Person with or prior to the confirmation of the
sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes sold to such Person if required by
applicable law, unless such failure to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus
(as amended or supplemented) was a result of noncompliance by the Company with
Section 6 of this Agreement. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors also agree
to indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities
industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers, directors,
agents and employees and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning
of Section 5 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), if any.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Indemnification by Holder. In connection with any Registration
Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or
any preliminary prospectus in which a Holder is participating, such Holder shall
furnish to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in writing such information as the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors reasonably request for use in connection with any
Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any preliminary prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, their respective directors and each Person, if any,
who controls the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the directors,
officers and partners of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent lawful, from
and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or
form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such losses are finally judicially determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final, unappealable order to have resulted solely from an
untrue




 









 












	 	 	 	statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from any information so
furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than such Holder’s Maximum
Contribution Amount (as defined below).
	 
	 	(c)	 	Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any proceeding shall be
brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
“Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or
parties from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party” or
“Indemnifying Parties”, as applicable) in writing; provided, provided, that the
failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties shall not (i) relieve such Indemnifying
Party from any obligation or liability unless and only to the extent it is materially
prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party other than the
indemnification obligation provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.





     The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an
Indemnified Party, within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified
Party of such proceeding, to assume, at its expense, the defense of any such proceeding, provided,
that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding
and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such Indemnified Party or parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to
pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the
defense of such proceeding or shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates or
controlling persons, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may
be one or more defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in addition to, or in conflict
with, those defenses available to the Indemnifying Party or such affiliate or controlling person
(in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Parties in writing that it
elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying
Parties shall not have the right to assume the defense and the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; it being understood, however, that, the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding or separate but
substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate
firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified
Party).



     No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected
without its written consent, but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, each Indemnifying Party jointly and severally
agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless
each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or
judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such proceeding
for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder (whether or not any
Indemnified Party is a party thereto) and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission
of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.




	 	(d)	 	Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified
Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise apply
by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions provided in this Section 8), then each
applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of




 









 












	 	 	 	indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall have a joint and several obligation to
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of
such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other
hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such
Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of
such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand,
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or
Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall
be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in
connection with any proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified
for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or
8(b) was available to such party.





     The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), a selling Holder shall not be
required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such Holder’s Maximum
Contribution Amount. A selling Holder’s “Maximum Contribution Amount” shall equal the
excess of (i) the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder pursuant to the sale of such
Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes over (ii) the aggregate amount of damages that such Holder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of the Registrable
Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint. The Company’s and Subsidiary Guarantors’
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are joint and several.



     The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 are in addition to any
liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.




	9.	 	Rules 144 and 144A





     The Company covenants that it shall comply with Section 4.03 of the Indenture to permit sales
pursuant to Rule 144 and 144A and to take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request
in writing, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable
Notes without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemptions provided by Rule 144
and Rule 144A.




	10.	 	Underwritten Registrations of Registrable Notes





     If any of the Registrable Notes covered by any Shelf Registration is to be sold in an
underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that
will manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of such Registrable Notes included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment
banker or investment bankers and manager or managers must be reasonably acceptable to the Company.



     No Holder of Registrable Notes may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Notes on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to
approve such arrangements and (b) completes




 











 





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




	11.	 	Miscellaneous






	 	(a)	 	Remedies. In the event of a breach by either the Company or any of the
Subsidiary Guarantors of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each
Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the
Indenture or, in the case of the Initial Purchaser, in the Purchase Agreement, or
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance
of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree
that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by
reason of a breach by either the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors 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, the Company shall (and shall
cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) waive the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
	 
	 	(b)	 	No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and each of the Subsidiary
Guarantors have not entered, as of the date hereof, and the Company and each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall not enter, after the date of this Agreement, into any
agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Holders of Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof. The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors have not entered
and will not enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that will
grant to any Person piggy-back rights with respect to a Registration Statement.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Adjustments Affecting Registrable Notes. The Company shall not,
directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable Notes as a
class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders to include such
Registrable Notes in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.
	 
	 	(d)	 	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, otherwise than with the prior written consent of
the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Registrable Notes in circumstances that would adversely affect any Holders
of Registrable Notes; provided, however, that Section 8 and this Section 11(d) may not
be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Holder.
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 of
Registrable Notes whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer or
sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly
affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Notes
may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Notes being tendered or being sold by such Holders pursuant to such
Registration Statement.
