SECTION 2. HOLDERS

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

SECTION 3.  REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER

         (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable
federal law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section
6(a)(i) below have been complied with), the Company and the Guarantors shall (i)
cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission
as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 90
days after the Closing Date (such 90th day, the "Filing Deadline"), (ii) use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable, but in no event later
than 180 days after the Closing Date (such 180th day, the "Effectiveness
Deadline"), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective
amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be necessary in
order to cause it to become effective and (B) subject to the proviso in Section
6(c)(xii) hereof cause all necessary filings, if any, in connection with the
registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue
Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the
Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, commence, within the time periods contemplated by
Section 3(b) hereof, and Consummate the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall
be on the appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Notes to
be offered in exchange for the Initial Notes that are Transfer Restricted
Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered
into the Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its
own account as a result of its market making activities or other trading
activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any
of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c) below.

         (b) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement to be effective

                                       4


<PAGE>

continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less
than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities
laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall
such period be less than 20 Business Days. The Company and the Guarantors shall
cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state
securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Notes (and the Guarantees
thereof) shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The
Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated within 30 Business Days after the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event
later than 40 Business Days thereafter (such 40th day being the "Consummation
Deadline").

         (c) The Company shall include a "Plan of Distribution" section in the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate
therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that
were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired
directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such "Plan of
Distribution" section shall also contain all other information with respect to
such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to
permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such "Plan of Distribution" shall not
name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the
Commission.

         Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within
the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange
Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company and the
Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus
delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of
Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Company and the Guarantors agree to use
their respective reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required
by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in
conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies,
rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a
period of 180 days from the Consummation Date or such shorter period as will
terminate when no Transfer Restricted Securities are outstanding. The Company
and the Guarantors shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such
Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon request, at any time during
such period.

SECTION 4.  SHELF REGISTRATION

         (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Exchange Offer is not permitted by
applicable law or Commission Policy (after the Company and the Guarantors have
complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below) or (ii) if any
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall notify the Company within 20
Business Days following the Consummation Deadline that (A) such Holder was
prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange

                                       5


<PAGE>

Offer or (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the
Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or
available for such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer
and owns Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its
Affiliates, the obligation of the Company to file a Shelf Registration Statement
(as defined below) shall arise on the earlier of (i) the date on which the
Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement cannot be
filed as a result of Section 4a(i) hereof or (ii) the date on which the Company
receives the notice specified in Section 4a(ii) hereof, and the Company and the
Guarantors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to:

     (x) cause to be filed (i) on or prior to 90 days after the Closing Date, if
such filing obligation arises on or prior to 30 days after the Closing Date or
(ii) on or prior to 60 days after such filing obligation arises if such filing
obligation arises after 30 days after the Closing Date (such 90th day or such
60th day, as applicable in each case, the "Filing Deadline"), a shelf
registration statement (the "Shelf Registration Statement") pursuant to Rule 415
under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement) relating to all Transfer Restricted Securities.

     (y) cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on or prior
to 120 days after the obligation of the Company to file a Shelf Registration
Statement arises (such 120th day, the "Effectiveness Deadline") (clauses (x) and
(y) together, the "Shelf Registration").

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

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

        (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the
Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may
include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to
the Company in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the
information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable,


                                       6


<PAGE>

of the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. No Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to
Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such
information. Each selling Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional
information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously
furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading.

        (c) If all holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (other than any
Broker-Dealer that is an Affiliate of the Company) do not give the written
notice within the 20 Business Day period set forth in Section 4(a)(ii) hereof,
if required to be given, then no Holders will have any registration rights
pursuant to this Section 4 and no Holders will be entitled to any liquidated
damages pursuant to Section 5 hereof in respect of the Company's obligations
with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Broker-Dealer that is an Affiliate of the Company shall be required to give
such written notice in order to maintain its registration rights pursuant to
this Section 4. Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities that do not give the
written notice within the 20 Business Day period set forth in Section 4(a)(ii)
hereof, if required to be given, will not be entitled to any liquidated damages
pursuant to Section 5 hereof in respect of the Company's obligations with
respect to the Shelf Registration Statement unless they provide written notice
upon the earlier of (i) at least 24 hours prior to the filing of the Shelf
Registration Statement and (ii) the Filing Deadline referred to in Section
4(a)(ii)(x).

SECTION 5.  LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

         If (i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not
filed with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii)
any such Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the
Exchange Offer (if required) has not been Consummated on or prior to the
Consummation Deadline or (iv) any Shelf Registration Statement required by this
Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be
effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose during the period it is
required to be effective pursuant to the terms hereof without being succeeded
immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that
cures such failure and that is itself declared effective immediately, subject to
the Suspension Rights discussed in this Section 5 below (each such event
referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a "Registration Default"), then the
Company and the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay to each
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby liquidated damages in
an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities held by such Holder for the first 90-day period
immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default. The amount of
the liquidated damages shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum of the
principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each
subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to
a maximum amount of liquidated damages of 1.00% per annum of the principal
amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder; provided that the
Company and the Guarantors shall in no event be required to pay liquidated
damages for more than one Registration Default at any given time.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing of
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf
Registration Statement), in the case of (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf
Registration Statement),

                                       7


<PAGE>



in the case of (ii) above, (3) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the
case of (iii) above, (4) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf
Registration Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable in the
case of (iv) above, or (5) if sooner, upon the first date on which no Transfer
Restricted Securities remain outstanding, in the case of clauses (i) through
(iv) above, the liquidated damages payable with respect to the Transfer
Restricted Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), as
applicable, shall cease. Upon both the occurrence of a Registration Default and
any subsequent cure thereof, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee
pursuant to the notification provisions contained in the Indenture.

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

         The Company shall be permitted the suspend the use of the Prospectus
("Suspension Rights") in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement for one
or more periods not to exceed 45 days in any twelve-month period if the Company
determines that the continued effectiveness and/or use of the Shelf Registration
Statement would require the disclosure of confidential information or interfere
with any financing, acquisition, reorganization or other material transaction
involving the Company or any of its Affiliates. A suspension period shall
commence on the date that the Company gives notice thereof (which notice need
not explain the basis for such suspension) and continue until Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities are advised in writing by the Company that use of
the Shelf Registration Statement may be permitted.

SECTION 6.  REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

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

          (i) If, following the date hereof there has been announced a change in
     Commission policy with respect to exchange offers, such as the Exchange
     Offer, that, in the written opinion of counsel to the Company raises a
     substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by
     applicable federal law, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to seek
     a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing
     the Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such
     Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company and the Guarantors hereby

                                       8


<PAGE>

     agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to pursue the
     issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level.

          (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each
     Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation,
     any Holder who is a Broker Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the
     Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written
     representation to the Company and the Guarantors (which may be contained in
     the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company,
     (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no
     arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a
     distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and
     (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business.
     As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using
     the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes
     shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Exchange Notes
     obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Notes acquired directly
     from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under
     Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the
     position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc.
     (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available
     May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman &
     Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (including, if
     applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above),
     and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
     requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction
     and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by an
     effective registration statement containing the selling security holder
     information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K.

          (iii) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall provide a supplemental
     letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company and the Guarantors
     are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the
     Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May
     13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) as
     interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2,
     1993, and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause
     (i) above, (B) including a representation that neither the Company nor any
     Guarantor has entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person
     to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and
     that, to the best of the Company's and each Guarantor's information and
     belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the
     Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or
     understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the
     Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking
     or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action
     letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.

     (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration
Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) comply with all the
provisions of Section 6(c) below and use their respective reasonable best
efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the

                                       9


<PAGE>

Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method
or methods of distribution thereof (as indicated in the information furnished to
the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company
and the Guarantors will prepare and file with the Commission a Registration
Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Act,
which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities
in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof within
the time periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof, and

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

     (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and
any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company and the
Guarantors shall, during the periods specified in Sections 3 and 4, as
applicable:

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

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

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

          (iv) subject to Section 6(d), if any fact or event contemplated by
     Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a
     supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or
     related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or
     file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the
     purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not
     contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
     material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
     circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

          (v) furnish to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have
     been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of the Shelf
     Registration Statement) and each Affiliated Market Maker in connection with
     such exchange or sale, if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of
     any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any
     amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus
     (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing
     of such Registration Statement), which documents (other than Exchange Act
     reports incorporated by reference therein or files as supplements thereto)
     will be subject

                                       11

     any, for a period of at least five Business Days, and the Company will not
     file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or
     supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all
     such documents incorporated by reference) to which such Holders shall
     reasonably object within five Business Days after the receipt thereof. A
     Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such
     Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable,
     as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or
     omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
     in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Act;

          (vi) promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be
     incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus
     (other than Exchange Act reports), provide copies of such document to each
     Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf
     Registration Statement (in the case of the Shelf Registration Statement)
     and each Affiliated Market Maker in connection with such sale or exchange,
     if any, make the Company's and the Guarantors' representatives available
     for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters,
     and include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof
     as such Persons may reasonably request;

          (vii) make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each
     Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf
     Registration Statement (in the case of the Shelf Registration Statement)
     and each Affiliated Market Maker and any attorney or accountant retained by
     such Persons, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
     documents of the Company and the Guarantors and cause the Company's and the
     Guarantors' officers, directors and employees to supply all information
     reasonably requested by any such Persons, attorney or accountant in

     thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness;

          (viii) if requested by any Holders whose Transfer Restricted
     Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the
     case of the Shelf Registration Statement) and each Affiliated Market Maker
     in connection with such exchange or sale, promptly include in any
     Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or
     post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such Persons may
     reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation,
     information relating to the "Plan of Distribution" of the Transfer
     Restricted Securities and the use of the Registration Statement or
     Prospectus for market-making activities; and make all required filings of
     such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as
     practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be included in
     such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

          (ix) furnish to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have
     been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of the Shelf
     Registration Statement) in connection with such exchange or sale and each
     Affiliated Market Maker,

                                       12


<PAGE>

     without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first
     filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including all
     documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including
     exhibits incorporated therein by reference);

          (x) deliver to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have
     been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of the Shelf
     Registration Statement) and each Affiliated Market Maker without charge, as
     many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) and
     any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request;
     the Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use (in accordance
     with law and subject to Section 6(d) hereof and any Suspension Rights) of
     the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling
     Person in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer
     Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or
     supplement thereto and all market-making activities of such Affiliated
     Market Maker, as the case may be;

          (xi) upon the request of any Holder whose Transfer Restricted
     Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the
     case of a Shelf Registration Statement) or the Initial Purchasers, enter
     into such agreements (including underwriting agreements) and make such
     representations and warranties and take all such other actions in
     connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of
     the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any applicable Registration
     Statement contemplated by this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by
     such Person in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any
     applicable Registration Statement. In such connection, and also in
     connection with market-making activities by any Affiliated Market Maker,
     the Company and the Guarantors shall:

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

                    (1) a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of the
               Company and each Guarantor by (x) the President or any Vice
               President and (y) a principal financial or accounting officer of
               the Company and such Guarantor, confirming, as of the date
               thereof, the matters set forth in Section 6(d) of the Purchase
               Agreement and such other similar matters as such Persons may
               reasonably request;

                    (2) an opinion, dated the date of Consummation of the
               Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf
               Registration Statement, as the case may be, of counsel for the
               Company and the Guarantors covering matters similar to those set
               forth in paragraph (h) of Section 6 of the Purchase Agreement and
               such other matter as such Holder may reasonably request, and in
               any event including a statement to the effect that such counsel
               has participated in conferences with officers and other
               representatives of the Company and the Guarantors,
               representatives

                                       13


<PAGE>

               of the independent public accountants for the Company and the
               Guarantors and have considered the matters required to be stated
               therein and the statements contained therein, although such
               counsel has not independently verified the accuracy, completeness
               or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel advises
               that, on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to
               the extent such counsel deems appropriate upon the statements of
               officers and other representatives of the Company and the
               Guarantors) and without independent check or verification), no
               facts came to such counsel's attention that caused such counsel
               to believe that the applicable Registration Statement, at the
               time such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
               thereto became effective and, in the case of the Exchange Offer
               Registration Statement, as of the date of Consummation of the
               Exchange Offer, contained an untrue statement of a material fact
               or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
               or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
               that the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as
               of its date and, in the case of the opinion dated the date of
               Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date of
               Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
               omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
               statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
               they were made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing,
               such counsel may state further that such counsel expresses no
               belief as to, and has not independently verified, the accuracy,
               completeness or fairness of the financial statements, notes and
               schedules and other financial data derived therefrom in any
               Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the
               related Prospectus; and

                    (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of
               Consummation of the Exchange Offer, or as of the date of
               effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case
               may be, from the Company's independent accountants, in the
               customary form and covering matters of the type customarily
               covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with
               underwritten offerings, and affirming the matters set forth in
               the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 6(j) of the
               Purchase Agreement; and

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

          (xii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities,
     cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the
     registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under
     the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling
     Holders may request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or
     advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the


                                       14


<PAGE>

     Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration
     Statement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor
     shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it
     is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the
     service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and
     transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction
     where it is not now so subject;

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

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

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

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

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

     (d) Restrictions on Holders. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a
Transfer Restricted Security and each Affiliated Market Maker agrees that, upon
receipt of the notice referred to in Section 6(c)(iii)(C) or any notice from the
Company of the existence of any fact of

                                       15


<PAGE>

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

SECTION 7.  REGISTRATION EXPENSES

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

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

         (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors will reimburse the Initial Purchasers
and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who are selling or reselling
Exchange Notes pursuant to the "Plan of Distribution" contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable,
for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who
shall be Latham & Watkins LLP or another firm shall be chosen by the Holders of



                                       16


<PAGE>

a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose
benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared.

SECTION 8.  INDEMNIFICATION

         (a) The Company and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and each
Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, (including without limitation, any
legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any matter, including any action that could give rise to any such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) provided by the Company to any Holder or any prospective purchaser of
Exchange Notes or registered Initial Notes, or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that
(i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a
Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such holder of
Notes and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such holder specifically
for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus
relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in
this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any holder of Notes or
Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities purchased the Notes concerned, to the extent that a prospectus
relating to such Securities was required to be delivered by such holder or
Broker-Dealer under the Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss,
claim, damage or liability of such holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results
from the fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to
the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person, a copy
of the final prospectus if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof
to such holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided further, however, that
this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company
may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify
underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such
underwriters within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act to the same
extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of
the Notes if requested by such holders.

         (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, and
their respective directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
the Company, or the Guarantors to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity
from the Company and the Guarantors set forth in section (a) above, but only
with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to
the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in any Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any


                                       17


<PAGE>

amendment or supplement thereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to
any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its
controlling persons.

             (c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in
respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the
"indemnified party"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person
against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying person") in writing
and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including
the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and
the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that
in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the
defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c), but may employ separate
counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Holder).
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the
employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by
the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume
the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that
there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from
or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party
shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same
general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for
all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by a majority of the
Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by
the Company and Guarantors, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to
Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the
indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action (i) effected
with its written consent or (ii) effected without its written consent if the
settlement is entered into more than twenty business days after the indemnifying
party shall have received a request from the indemnified party for reimbursement
for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees and expenses
are at the expense of the indemnifying party) and, prior to the date of such
settlement, the indemnifying party shall have failed to comply with such
reimbursement request. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of, or
consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened
action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party
and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the
indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes
an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims
that are or could have been the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not
include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

         (d) To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this
Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and
the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the
exchange of the Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer or the sale of Transfer
Restricted Securities, as the case may be, or (ii) if the allocation provided by
clause 8(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on
the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or such Guarantor, on the one hand, or by
the Holder, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and judgments referred to above shall be deemed to
include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim, which is the
subject of this paragraph (d). For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person,
if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Act or the
Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified
party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the
Company.

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


                                       19


<PAGE>

several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint.

SECTION 9.  RULE 144A AND RULE 144

         The Company and each Guarantor agrees with each Holder, for so long as
any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in
which the Company or such Guarantor (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (unless, in the case of a Guarantor, exempt pursuant to Rule
12-h-5), to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or
beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities
designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to Rule 144A, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15 (d) of
the Exchange Act (unless, in the case of a Guarantor, exempt pursuant to Rule
12h-5), to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to
permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

SECTION 10.  MISCELLANEOUS

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

         (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor
will, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with
respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
Neither the Company nor any Guarantor has previously entered into any agreement
that will remain in effect after the issuance of the Notes granting any
registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person other than this
Agreement (and the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of May 6, 2002
relating to the Company's 12 3/4 Senior Suboridinated Notes due 2010). The
rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are
not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's and the
Guarantors' securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

          (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures
from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5
hereof and this Section 10(c)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent
of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby
and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained
the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount
of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities
affected


                                       20


<PAGE>

thereby held by the Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates
exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are
being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly
or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities
are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the
Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities subject to such Exchange Offer.

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

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

courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

        (f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including
without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent
Holders; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment,
transfer or other disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities in violation of
the terms hereof or of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any
transferee of any Holder shall acquire Transfer Restricted Securities in any
manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Transfer Restricted
Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by
taking and holding such Transfer Restricted Securities 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, including the restrictions on resale set
forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the Purchase Agreement, and such
Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

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

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

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

        (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.

        (k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a
final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of
the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises,
warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein
with respect to the registration rights granted with respect to the Transfer
Restricted Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

        (l) Compliance with Form S-3. The Company agrees for the benefit of any
Affiliated Market Makers that for so long as any of the Transfer Restricted
Securities remain outstanding, if at any time sales by the Affiliated Market
Makers of the Transfer Restricted Securities will satisfy clauses 1 or 3 of the
"Transaction Requirements" specified in Form S-3 (or any comparable provision of
any successor form to Form S-3), the Company will use its


                                       22


<PAGE>


reasonable best efforts to comply with, and maintain its compliance with, the
"Registrant Requirements" of Form S-3 (or any comparable provision of any
successor form to Form S-3)
