(i) that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement and that all Registrable Notes validly tendered will be accepted for exchange;


 


(ii) the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at least 20 business days from the date such notice is mailed) (each such date being an “Exchange Date”);


 


(iii) that any Registrable Note not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest, but will not retain any rights under this Agreement (except to the extent that Holder delivers a Holder Shelf Registration Notice pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof);


 


(iv) that Holders electing to have a Registrable Note exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender such Registrable Note, together with the enclosed letters of transmittal, to the institution and at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date (the “Offer Termination Date”); and


 






  





- 5 -











  













 


(v) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election, not later than the close of business on the Offer Termination Date, by sending to the institution and at the address specified in the notice a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Notes delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Registrable Notes exchanged.


 


As soon as practicable after the Offer Termination Date, the Company shall:


 


(A) accept for exchange Registrable Notes or portions thereof tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and


 


(B) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder, an Exchange Note equal in aggregate principal amount to the aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes surrendered by such Holder.


 


The Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with 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.


 






  





- 6 -











  













 


(b) In the event that (i) the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be consummated as soon as practicable after the Offer Termination Date because it would violate applicable law or the applicable interpretations of the Staff of the SEC, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason consummated within 180 days after the Closing Date or (iii) in the event that at any time prior to the 20-day anniversary of the consummation of the Exchange Offer, any Holder of Registrable Notes shall provide a Holder Shelf Registration Notice to the Company, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, or date or notice, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Notes and to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC.  In the event the Company and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement solely as a result of the matters referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company and the Guarantors shall file and have declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Notes and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Notes held by the Holders that provide a Holder Shelf Registration Notice after completion of the Exchange Offer.  The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the first anniversary from its original effective date or such shorter period that will terminate when all of the Registrable Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.  The Company and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company and the Guarantors for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the 1933 Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable.  The Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Notes copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.


 


(c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b).  Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts, if any, and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.


 


(d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that, if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have become effective during the period of such interference until the offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume.  As provided for in the Indenture, liquidated damages in the form of Special Interest (in addition to the interest otherwise due on the Notes after such date) shall be accrued on the Registrable Notes as follows:


 






  





- 7 -











  













 


(i) (A) if an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or, in the event that, due to current interpretations by the SEC, the Company is not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer, a Shelf Registration Statement, is not filed within 120 days following the Closing Date or (B) in the event that at any time prior to the 20-day anniversary of the consummation of the Exchange Offer, any holder of Registrable Notes shall provide a Holder Shelf Registration Notice to the Company, and a Shelf Registration Statement is not filed within 120 days thereafter, then commencing on the 121st day after the Closing Date or the receipt of such notice, as the case may be, Special Interest shall be accrued on the Registrable Notes over and above the accrued interest at a rate of .50% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following the 121st day after the Closing Date or the receipt of such notice, as the case may be, such Special Interest rate increasing by an additional .25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period;


 


(ii) if an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) hereof and is not declared effective within 150 days following the Closing Date or the receipt of the Holder Shelf Registration Notice, as the case may be, then commencing on the 151st day after the Closing Date or the receipt of such notice, as the case may be, Special Interest shall be accrued on the Registrable Notes over and above the accrued interest at a rate of .50% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following the 151st day after the Closing Date or the receipt of such notice, as the case may be, such Special Interest rate increased by an additional .25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period; and


 


(iii) if either (A) the Company has not exchanged Exchange Notes for all Registrable Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer on or prior to 180 days following the Closing Date, or (B) if applicable, a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective prior to one year after the Closing Date, then, subject to certain exceptions, Special Interest shall be accrued on the Registrable Notes over and above the accrued interest at a rate of .50% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following the (x) 181st day after the Closing Date, in the case of (A) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective in the case of (B) above, such Special Interest rate increasing by an additional .25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above a “Registration Default”);


 


provided, however, that the Special Interest rate on the Registrable Notes may not exceed 1.5% per annum; and provided further that (1) upon the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of (d)(i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of (d)(ii) above), or (3) upon the exchange of Exchange Notes for all Registrable Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer or upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective prior to one year from its original effective date (in the case of (d)(iii) above), Special Interest on the Registrable Notes as a result of such clause (i), (ii) or (iii) shall cease to accrue.


 






  





- 8 -











  













 


Any amounts of Special Interest due pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above will be payable in cash on the interest payment dates of the Registrable Notes.  The amount of Special Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Special Interest rate by the principal amount of the Registrable Notes, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Special Interest rate was applicable during such period, and the denominator of which is 360.  The existence of multiple Registration Defaults shall not increase the amount of Special Interest; rather, the calculation of the amount of Special Interest shall be made with respect to the earliest continuing Registration Default.  If the Company effects the Exchange Offer, the Company will be entitled to close the Exchange Offer provided that it has accepted all Registrable Notes theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer.  Registrable Notes not tendered in the Exchange Offer shall bear interest at the same rate as in effect at the time of issuance of the Registrable Notes.


 


(e) Without limiting the remedies available to the Holders, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by the Company and the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to 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, any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.


 


3. Registration Procedures.


 


In connection with the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors with respect to the Registration Statements pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall reasonably promptly:

The foregoing actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 3(o) shall be performed at (A) the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto and (B) each closing under any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder.


 


In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require each Holder of Registrable Notes to promptly furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Notes as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.  Any Holder of Registrable Notes who fails to provide such information reasonably requested by the Company shall not be entitled to receive any Special Interest that the Company otherwise becomes obligated to pay as a result of such failure.

In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e)(v) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at its expense) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Notes current at the time of receipt of such notice.  Each Holder agrees to indemnify the Company, the Guarantors, the Representative and the other selling Holders and each of their respective officers and directors who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls any such person for any losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by the failure of such Holder to discontinue disposition of Registrable Notes after receipt of the notice referred to in the preceding sentence or the failure of such Holder to comply with applicable prospectus delivery requirements with respect to any Prospectus (including, but not limited to, any amended or supplemented Prospectus) provided by the Company for such use.


 


4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer.


 


(a) The Company understands that the Staff of the SEC has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the 1933 Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.


 


The Company understands that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Notes owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the 1933 Act in connection with resales of Exchange Notes for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the 1933 Act.


 


(b) In light of the above, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company agrees that the provisions of this Agreement as they relate to a Shelf Registration shall also apply to an Exchange Offer Registration to the extent, and with such reasonable modifications thereto as may be, reasonably requested by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, as provided in clause (ii) below, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Notes by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above; provided that:


 






  





- 14 -











  













 


(i) the Company shall not be required to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be contemplated by Section 3(i), for a period exceeding one year after the Offer Termination Date and Participating Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the Company to deliver and shall not deliver such Prospectus after such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4; and


 


(ii) the application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement to an Exchange Offer Registration, to the extent not required by the positions of the Staff of the SEC or the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, will be in conformity with the reasonable request to the Company by one or more broker-dealers who certify to the Company in writing that they anticipate that they will be Participating Broker-Dealers; and provided further that, in connection with such application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 to an Exchange Offer Registration, the Company shall be obligated (x) to deal only with one entity representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be BofA Merrill Lynch unless it elects not to act as such representative, (y) to pay the fees and expenses of only one counsel representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be counsel to the Representative unless such counsel elects not to so act and (z) to cause to be delivered only one, if any, “cold comfort” letter with respect to the Prospectus in the form existing on the Offer Termination Date and with respect to each subsequent amendment or supplement, if any, effected during the period specified in clause (i) above.


 


(iii) The Representative shall have no liability to the Company or any Holder for costs and expenses of the Exchange Offer Registration with respect to any request that it may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above.

5. Indemnification and Contribution.


 


(a) The Company and the Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Representative, each Holder and each person, if any, who controls the Representative or any Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, or is under common control with, or is controlled by the Representative or any Holder, from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Representative, any Holder or any such controlling or affiliated person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes were registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to the Representative or any Holder furnished to the Company in writing by the Representative or any selling Holder expressly for use therein and, in the case of a Shelf Registration including a plan of distribution section, such plan of distribution section; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this paragraph (a) with respect to such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Representative, any Holder or any such controlling or affiliated person on account of any such loss, claim, damages or liabilities caused by the failure of such person to discontinue disposition of Registrable Notes after receipt of the notice referred to in the final paragraph of Section 3 hereof.


 


(b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, the Representative and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective directors and officers who sign the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, the Guarantors, the Representative and any other selling Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to the Holders, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement including a plan of distribution section, such plan of distribution section.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.  It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (a)  the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Representative and all persons, if any, who control the Representative within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, (b) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel), for the Company and the Guarantors, their directors, their officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantors within the meaning of either such Section and (c) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Holders and all persons, if any, who control any Holders within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  In such case involving the Representative and persons who control the Representative, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representative.  In such case involving the Holders and such persons who control Holders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders.  In all other cases, such firm shall be designated by the Company.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have properly requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any good faith settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party for such fees and expenses of counsel in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this Section 4 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders 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 and the Guarantors or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Holders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Registrable Notes of such Holder that were registered pursuant to a Registration Statement.


 


(e) The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which Registrable Notes were sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.


 


The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Representative, any Holder or any person controlling the Representative or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company and the Guarantors, their officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and the Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Notes and (iv) any sale of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

6. Miscellaneous.


 


(a) No Inconsistent Agreements.  The Company and the Guarantors have not entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Notes in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

(b) Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Notes affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided, however, that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consents to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Notes unless consented to in writing by such Holder.


 


(c) Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Representative, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) if to the Company and the Guarantors, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c).


 


All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next business day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.

(d) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment or assumption, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Notes in violation of the terms of the Notes.  If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Notes, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Notes shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Notes such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.  The Representative shall have no liability or obligation to the Company with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement.


 


(e) Purchases and Sales of Notes.  The Company shall not, and shall use best efforts to cause its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) not to, purchase and then resell or otherwise transfer any Notes.


 


(f) Third Party Beneficiary.  The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Representative, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.


 


(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 laws of the State of New York.


 


(j) Severability.  In the event that 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.
