         thereof is mailed to the Holders (or, in each case, longer if required
         by applicable law);

                           (iii)    use their respective best efforts to keep
         the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective under

         provide a supplemental letter to the Commission (A) stating that the
         Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are conducting the Registered
         Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission in EXXON
         CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION (pub. avail. May 13, 1988) and MORGAN
         STANLEY AND CO., INC. (pub. avail. June 5, 1991); and (B) including a
         representation that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor
         has entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to
         distribute the New Securities to be received in the Registered Exchange
         Offer and that, to the best of each of the Company's and the Subsidiary
         Guarantors' information and belief, each Holder participating in the
         Registered Exchange Offer is acquiring the New Securities in the
         ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding
         with any Person to participate in the distribution of the New

         laws applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer.

                  (d)      As soon as practicable after the close of the

         not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer;


                                       5
<PAGE>


                  (ii)     deliver to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance
         with Section 5(s) all Securities so accepted for exchange; and

                  (iii)    cause the New Securities Trustee promptly to
         authenticate and deliver to each Holder of Securities a principal
         amount of New Securities equal to the principal amount of the
         Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

         (e)      Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any
Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Registered Exchange Offer to
participate in a distribution of the New Securities, if the resales are of New
Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Securities acquired by such
Holder directly from the Company or one of its Affiliates, (x) could not under
Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the
position of the Commission in MORGAN STANLEY AND CO., INC. (pub. avail. June 5,
1991) and EXXON CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION (pub. avail. May 13, 1988), as
interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993
and similar no-action letters; and (y) must comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with any secondary
resale transaction and such secondary resale transactions 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 under
the Act. Accordingly, as a condition to its participation in the Registered
Exchange Offer, each Holder shall be required to represent to the Company that,
at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer:

                  (i)      any New Securities received by such Holder will be
         acquired in the ordinary course of business;

                  (ii)     such Holder will have no arrangement or understanding
         with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Securities or
         the New Securities within the meaning of the Act; and

                  (iii)    such Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company or any
         Subsidiary Guarantor (or, if it is an Affiliate, that it will comply
         with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act
         to the extent applicable).

         (f)      If any Initial Purchaser determines that it is not eligible to
participate in the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the exchange of
Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, at the request of
such Initial Purchaser, the Company shall issue and deliver to such Initial
Purchaser or the Person purchasing New Securities registered under a Shelf
Registration Statement as contemplated by Section 3 hereof from such Initial
Purchaser, in exchange for such Securities, a like principal amount of New
Securities. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their best
efforts to cause the CUSIP Service Bureau to issue the same CUSIP number for
such New Securities as for New Securities issued pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer.

         3.       Shelf Registration. (a)    If (i) due to any change in law or
applicable interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff, the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantors determine upon advice of their outside counsel that
they are not permitted to effect the Registered Exchange Offer as contemplated
by Section 2 hereof; or (ii) for any other reason the



                                       6
<PAGE>


Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective within 210 days
after the date hereof or the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated within
240 days after the date of the original issuance of the Securities; (iii) any
Initial Purchaser so requests with respect to Securities that are not eligible
to be exchanged for New Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and that are
held by it following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer; (iv) any
Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) is not eligible to participate in the
Registered Exchange Offer or does not receive freely tradeable notes New
Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer other than by reason of being an
affiliate of the Company; or (v) does not receive freely tradeable New
Securities in exchange for Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer other
than by reason of such Holder being an Affiliate of the Company (it being
understood that the requirement that an Exchanging Dealer deliver a Prospectus
in connection with sales of New Securities acquired in the Registered Exchange
Offer in exchange for Securities acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities shall not result in such New Securities
being not "freely tradeable"), the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall
effect a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with subsection (b) below.



         (b)      (i)      The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall as
         promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 60 days after so
         required or requested pursuant to this Section 3), file with the
         Commission and thereafter shall use their best efforts to cause to be
         declared effective under the Act prior to 150 days after the date the
         obligation to file arises a Shelf Registration Statement relating to
         the offer and sale of the Securities or the New Securities, as
         applicable, by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with
         the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in
         such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that no Holder
         (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the
         Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement
         unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all of the
         provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder; and provided
         further, that with respect to New Securities received by an Initial
         Purchaser in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an
         unsold allotment, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may, if
         permitted by current interpretations by the Commission's staff, file a
         post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
         containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation
         S-K under the Act, as applicable, in satisfaction of their obligations
         under this subsection with respect thereto, and any such Exchange Offer
         Registration Statement, as so amended, shall be referred to herein as,
         and governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf
         Registration Statement.

                  (ii)     The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use
         their best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
         continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the
         Act, in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be
         usable by Holders for a period of two years from the date the Shelf
         Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission or such
         shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities or New
         Securities, as applicable, covered by the Shelf Registration Statement
         have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or pursuant
         to Rule 144 under the Act (in any such case, such period being called
         the "Shelf Registration Period"). Each of the Company and the
         Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed not to have used its best efforts
         to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite
         period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders
         of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such
         Securities during that



                                       7
<PAGE>


         period, unless (A) such action is required by applicable law; or (B)
         such action is taken by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in
         good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of
         the Company's and the Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations hereunder),
         including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, so long as each of
         the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors promptly thereafter complies
         with the requirements of Section 5(k) hereof, if applicable.

                  (iii)    The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall cause
         the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any
         amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf
         Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, (A) to comply
         in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
         Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission; and (B)
         not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
         a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
         make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
         which they were made, not misleading.

         4.       SPECIAL INTEREST.

issue date of the Securities, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not

in accordance with and during the periods specified in this Agreement (each such
event referred to in clauses (i) through (vi), a ("Registration Default"),
interest ("Special Interest") will accrue on the principal amount of the
Securities and the New Securities (in addition to the stated interest on the
Securities and New Securities) from and including the date on which any such
Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all
Registration Defaults have been cured. Special Interest will accrue at a rate of
0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
such Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of
each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such rate exceed 1.00% per
annum.

         (b)      All obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding
paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Security at the time such
Security is exchanged for a New Security shall survive until such time as all
such obligations with respect to such Security have been satisfied in full.

         5.       ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with any
Shelf Registration Statement and, to the extent applicable, any Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, the following provisions shall apply.

qualification in effect so long as required; provided that in no event shall the
Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors be obligated (1) to qualify to do business
as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities, in each case in any
jurisdiction where they are not then so qualified or would not otherwise be

Subsidiary Guarantors shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to the
applicable Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related
Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered
to Initial Purchasers of the securities included therein, the Prospectus will
not include 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. In such circumstances, the period of
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in
Section 2 and the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 3(b)
shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the

Securities, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and shall make generally

under the Trust Indenture Act in a timely manner.

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

         (p)      In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company
and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall enter into such agreements and take all
other appropriate actions (including if requested an underwriting agreement in
customary form) in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the
disposition of the Securities, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting
agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification provisions

         7.       INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (A) Each of the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder of Securities or New Securities, as the case may be,
covered by any Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser and,
with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 5(h) hereof,
each Exchanging Dealer), the directors, officers, employees and agents of each
such Holder and each Person who controls any such Holder within the meaning of
either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become
subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law
or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration


                                       15
<PAGE>


Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified
party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors by or on behalf of any such Holder
specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition
to any liability which the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor may otherwise
have.

         Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors also agrees to
indemnify or contribute as provided in Section 7(d) to Losses of each any
underwriter of Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, registered
under a Shelf Registration Statement, their directors, officers, employees or
agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the either the Act or
the Exchange Act) such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of
the indemnification of the Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders provided
in this Section 7(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an
underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 5(p)
hereof.

         (b)      Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement
(including each Initial Purchaser and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery
as contemplated in Section 5(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer) severally agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, each of
their respective directors, each of their respective officers who signs such
Registration Statement and each Person who controls the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act,
to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors to each such Holder, but only with reference to written
information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the
documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have.

         (c)      Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement
thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not
relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the
extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the
forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and
(ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations
to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in
paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint
counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense
to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is
sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible
for the fees and expenses of any separate


                                       16
<PAGE>


counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint
counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and
the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of
such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party
to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of
interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such
action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party
shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense
of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior
written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to
the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim,
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution
may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or
potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

         (d)      In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall
have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively
"Losses") to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying
party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the
Initial Placement and the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser or any subsequent
Holder of any Security or New Security be responsible, in the aggregate, for any
amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to such
Security, or in the case of a New Security, applicable to the Security that was
exchangeable into such New Security, as set forth on the cover page of the Final
Memorandum, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of
the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the securities purchased
by such underwriter under the Registration Statement which resulted in such
Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is
unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such
relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the
one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of (x) the total
net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth
on the cover page of the Final Memorandum and (y) the total amount of additional
interest which the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors were not required to
pay as a result of registering the securities covered by the Registration


                                       17
<PAGE>


Statement which resulted in such Losses. Benefits received by the Initial
Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and
commissions as set forth on the cover page of the Final Memorandum, and benefits
received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of
receiving Securities or New Securities, as applicable, registered under the Act.
Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total
underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the
Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement which resulted in such
Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided
by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the
other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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. For purposes of this Section, each Person who
controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and
each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same
rights to contribution as such Holder, and each Person who controls the Company
or any Subsidiary Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
Act, each officer of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor who shall have
signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company or any
Subsidiary Guarantor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company
and the Subsidiary Guarantors, subject in each case to the applicable terms and
conditions of this paragraph (d).

         (e)      The provisions of this Section will remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or
the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of the officers, directors or
controlling Persons referred to in this Section hereof, and will survive the
sale by a Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement.

         7.       UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. (a) If any of the Securities or
New Securities, as the case may be, covered by any Shelf Registration Statement
are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be
selected by the Majority Holders and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company.

         (b)      No Person may participate in any underwritten offering
pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, unless such Person (i) agrees to
sell such Person's Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, on the
basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

         8.       NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors have not, as of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall they, on or
after the date hereof, enter into,


                                       18
<PAGE>


any agreement with respect to their securities that is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof.

         9.       AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, qualified,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the
provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors have obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders (or, after
the consummation of any Registered Exchange Offer in accordance with Section 2
hereof, of New Securities); PROVIDED that, with respect to any matter that
directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder,
the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall obtain the written consent of
each such Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification,
supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing
(except the foregoing proviso), a waiver or consent to departure from the
provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders whose Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, are
being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or
indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by the Majority
Holders, determined on the basis of Securities or New Securities, as the case
may be, being sold rather than registered under such Registration Statement.

         10.      NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail,
telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

         (a)      if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such
holder to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section, which
address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of such Holder
maintained by the Registrar under the Indenture, with a copy in like manner to
Citigroup Global Markets Inc.;

         (b)      if to you, initially at the respective addresses set forth in
the Purchase Agreement; and

         (c)      if to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, initially at
its address set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

         All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given when received.

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

         11.      SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and
be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including,
without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities and the New
Securities. Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees to
extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Securities and the New
Securities, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this
Agreement as if an original party hereto.


                                       19

         12.      COUNTERPARTS. This agreement may be in signed counterparts,
each of which shall an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same agreement.

         13.      HEADINGS. The headings used herein are for convenience only
and shall not affect the construction hereof.

         14.      APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York.

         15.      SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one of more of the
provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the
validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other
respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired
or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of
the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         16.      SECURITIES HELD BY THE COMPANY, ETC. Whenever the consent or
approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities
or New Securities is required hereunder, Securities or New Securities, as
applicable, held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders
of Securities or New Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be
Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities or New
Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval
was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

         Each Broker-Dealer that receives New Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Securities. The Letter of
Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a
Broker-Dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Broker-Dealer in connection
with resales of New Securities received in exchange for Securities where such
Securities were acquired by such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. The Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors have agreed that, starting on the Expiration Date (as defined herein)
and ending on the close of business 180 days after the Expiration Date (or such
shorter period during which Participating Broker-Dealers (as defined herein) are
required by law to deliver such prospectus), it will make this Prospectus
available to any Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See
"Plan of Distribution."

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

                                                                         ANNEX C

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         Each Broker-Dealer that receives New Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Securities. This
Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a Broker-Dealer in connection with resales of New Securities received in
exchange for Securities where such Securities were acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors have agreed that, starting on the Expiration Date and
ending on the close of business 180 days after the Expiration Date (or such
shorter period during which Participating Broker-Dealers are required by law to
deliver such prospectus), they will make this Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, available to any Broker-Dealer for use in connection with any such
resale. In addition, until __________, 200__, all dealers effecting transactions
in the New Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus.

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

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

If the undersigned is not a Broker-Dealer, the undersigned represents that it
acquired the New Securities in the ordinary course of its business, it is not
engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of New Securities
and it has no arrangements or understandings with any Person to participate in a
distribution of the New Securities. If the undersigned is a Broker-Dealer that
will receive New Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities, it
represents that the Securities to be exchanged for New Securities were acquired
by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and
acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such New Securities; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
