the date hereof, but in no event later than the Filing Date, a registration statement (the

Act with respect to an offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange the Notes for Exchange

use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Registration Statement to become effective as
promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than the Effectiveness
Date, (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective
until the consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with its terms, and (iv) commence the
Exchange Offer and use its reasonable best efforts to issue on or prior to 45 days after the
Effectiveness Date, Exchange Notes in exchange for all Notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange
Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange
Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC.

4

 

	 	(b)	 	The Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes shall be issued under, and entitled to
the benefits of the Indenture or a trust indenture that is identical to the Indenture (other than
such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the
qualifications thereof under the TIA) which in either case will provide that (i) the Exchange Notes
will not be subject to the transfer restrictions or additional interest provisions set forth in the
Indenture, (ii) the Private Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth
in the Indenture and (iii) the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Notes, if any,
will be deemed one class of security (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) and entitled to
participate in all the security granted by the Company pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and in
any Guarantee (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) on an equal and ratable basis.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Interest on the Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes will accrue from (i) the later of (x)
the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Notes surrendered in exchange
therefor or (y) if the Note is surrendered for exchange on a date in a period which includes the
record date for an interest payment date to occur on or after the date of such exchange and as to
which interest will be paid, the date of such interest payment date or (ii) if no interest has been
paid on the Notes, from the Issue Date. Each Exchange Note and Private Exchange Note shall bear
interest at the rate set forth thereon; provided, that interest with respect to the period
prior to the issuance thereof shall accrue at the rate or rates borne by the Notes from time to
time during such period.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Company may require each Holder as a condition to participation in the Exchange Offer to
represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the Exchange Offer, (i) any
Exchange Notes received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business,
(ii) at the time of commencement and consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder has not entered
into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the
Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities
Act) of the Company or if such Holder is an affiliate such Holder will comply with the registration
and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such
Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the
distribution of the Exchange Notes and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer that
will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Notes that were acquired as a
result of market-making or other trading activities, that it will deliver a Prospectus in
connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) include within the Prospectus contained
in the Exchange Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution” reasonably
acceptable to the Initial Purchaser which shall contain all of the information that the SEC may
require with respect to the

5

 

	 	 	 	potential “underwriter” status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange
Offer for its own account in exchange for Notes that were acquired by it as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”),
whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such
positions or policies, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, represent the prevailing views of
the staff of the SEC. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also allow, to the extent permitted
by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject
to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including, to the extent so
permitted, all Participating Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the manner in which
Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes. The Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the
Prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all
Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for the period ending
on the earlier of (i) 180 days from the date the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared
effective and (ii) the date on which such Participating Broker-Dealer is no longer required to
deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities (the
“Applicable Period”).
	 
	 	(f)	 	If, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchaser holds any Notes acquired by
it and having the status of an unsold allotment in the initial distribution, the Company (upon the
written request from the Initial Purchaser) shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange
Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to the Initial Purchaser in exchange (the
“Private Exchange”) for the Notes held by the Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount at
maturity of Senior Secured Notes (issued under the same Indenture as the Exchange Notes) that are
identical in all material respects to the Exchange Notes except for the existence of restrictions
on transfer thereof under the Securities Act and securities laws of the several states of the
United States (the “Private Exchange Notes”). The Private Exchange Notes shall bear the
same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes.
	 
	 	(g)	 	In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to):

	 	(i)	 	mail to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Registration
Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal (substantially in the form attached
as an exhibit to the Exchange Registration Statement) and any related documents;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 Business Days (or longer if required by
applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders;

6

 

	 	(iii)	 	utilize the services of a depository for the Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate thereof;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Notes at any time prior to the close of
business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain open;
and
	 
	 	(v)	 	otherwise comply with all applicable laws.

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

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

	 	(i)	 	If, (i) any change in law or in applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the SEC
would not permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer, (ii) for any other reason the Exchange
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, or the
Exchange Offer is not consummated within 45 days after the Effectiveness Date, (iii) the Initial
Purchaser so requests with respect to the Notes (or the Private Exchange Notes) not eligible to be
exchanged for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of the
Exchange Offer, or (iv) in the case of (A) any Holder not permitted to participate in the Exchange
Offer, (B) any Holder participating in the Exchange Offer that receives Exchange Notes that may not
be sold or transferred without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due
solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act) or (C) any Participating Broker Dealer holds Notes acquired directly from the
Company or one of its affiliates and, in each case contemplated by this clause (iv), such Holder
notifies the Company within two months of consummation of the Exchange Offer, then in each case the
Company shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days of such notification) deliver to
the Holders and the Trustee written notice thereof (the “Shelf Notice”) and shall as
promptly as practicable and at its sole expense use its reasonable best efforts to thereafter file
an Initial Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.

7

 

3. Shelf Registration

     If a Shelf Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 2(i), then this Section 3 shall
apply to all Registrable Notes. Otherwise, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance
with Section 2, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply solely with respect to
(i) Notes held by any Holder thereof not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, (ii)
Private Exchange Notes, and (iii) Exchange Notes that are not freely transferable as contemplated
by Section 2(i)(iv) hereof, provided in each case that the relevant Holder has duly
notified the Company within six months of the Exchange Offer as required by Section
2(i)(iv).

	 	(a)	 	Initial Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to), use
its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act covering all of the Registrable Notes (the “Initial Shelf
Registration Statement”) as promptly as possible, but in any event within 90 days of the
delivery of the Shelf Notice, and shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its reasonable best
efforts to cause such Initial Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act as promptly as practicable thereafter, but in no event more than 180 days after
delivery of the Shelf Notice; provided, however, that if the Company (and each
Guarantor) has not yet filed an Exchange Registration Statement, the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to file (and shall cause each Guarantor to file) with the SEC the Initial
Shelf Registration Statement on or prior to the Filing Date and shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause such Initial Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Date. The Initial Shelf Registration Statement
shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Notes
for resale by Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including, without
limitation, Underwritten Offerings). The Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its
reasonable best efforts to keep the Initial Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective
under the Securities Act until the earlier of two years after the Issue Date (the
“Effectiveness Period”) or such time as all of the Registrable Notes have been sold under
the Initial Shelf Registration Statement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during
the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the securities registered
thereunder), the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its reasonable best efforts
to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event
shall within 30 days of such cessation of effectiveness amend such Shelf Registration Statement in
a manner designed to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or
file (and cause each Guarantor to file) an additional shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under
the Initial Registration Statement or any earlier Registration Statement (a “Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement”). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company

8

 

	 	 	 	shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing and
to keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period equal to
the number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during which the
Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement was previously
continuously effective. As used herein the term “Shelf Registration Statement” means the
Initial Shelf Registration Statement and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statements.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall promptly amend any Shelf Registration
Statement and/or amend or supplement the Prospectus constituting a part thereof if required by the
rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf
Registration Statement, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested in writing by
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such
Shelf Registration Statement or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Provision of Information. No Holder shall be entitled to include any of its Registrable
Notes in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless such Holder furnishes
to the Company and the Trustee in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a written request
therefor, such information as the Company and the Trustee, after conferring with counsel with
regard to information relating to Holders that would be required by the SEC to be included in such
Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, may reasonably request for inclusion
in any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, and no such Holder shall be
entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 4 hereof unless and until such Holder
shall have provided such information.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon notice to Holders,
the Company may suspend use of the Prospectus included in any Shelf Registration Statement in the
event that and for a period of time (a “Blackout Period”) not to exceed an aggregate of 90
days in any 12-month period if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that
(1) the disclosure of an event, occurrence or other item at such time could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, operations or prospects of the Company and the
Guarantors, taken as a whole, or (2) the disclosure otherwise relates to a material business
transaction which has not been publicly disclosed and that any such disclosure would jeopardize the
success of the transaction or that disclosure of the transaction is prohibited pursuant to the
terms thereof.

4. Additional Interest

	 	(a)	 	The Company and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Holders of Registrable Notes
will suffer damages if the Company or any Guarantor fails to

9

 

	 	 	 	fulfill its material obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it
would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the
Company and the Guarantors agree to pay additional cash interest on the Notes (“Additional
Interest”) under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall be
given independent effect):

	 	(i)	 	if (A) neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration Statement
has been filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Date or (B) notwithstanding that the Company
has consummated or will consummate an Exchange Offer, the Company is required to file a Shelf
Registration Statement and such Shelf Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the date
required by this Agreement, then, commencing on the day after either such required filing date,
Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes over and above any stated
interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following such filing date,
such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each
subsequent 90-day period, subject to the provisos in the last sentence of this paragraph;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if (A) neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration
Statement is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, (B)
notwithstanding that the Company has consummated or will consummate an Exchange Offer, the Company
is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement and such Shelf Registration Statement is not
declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the 90th day following the date such Shelf
Registration Statement was filed, then, commencing on the day after either such required effective
date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes over and above any
stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following such
effective date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the
beginning of each subsequent 90-day period, subject to the provisos in the last sentence of this
paragraph; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	if (A) the Company (and any Guarantor) has not exchanged Exchange Notes for all Notes validly
tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer on or prior to the
date that is 45 days after the Effectiveness Date, (B) if applicable, a Shelf Registration
Statement has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective
or usable in connection with resales of the Notes at any time prior to the second anniversary of
the Issue Date (other than during a Blackout Period or after such time as all Notes have been
disposed of thereunder), or (C) we issue a valid notice to suspend the use of the Prospectus
included in any Shelf Registration Statement and such suspension, when taken together with all
other suspensions, if any (but solely to the extent not concurrent), during any 12 month period
exceeds 90 days, then, in each case, Additional Interest shall accrue on the

10

 

	 	 	 	principal amount of the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum for
the first 90 days commencing on (x) the 46th day after the Effectiveness Date, in the case of
clause (A) above, (y) the day such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective or useable,
in the case of clause (B) above, or (z) the day the Prospectus in any Shelf Registration Statement
is suspended for any period in excess of 90 Days during any 12-month period, in the case of clause
(C) above, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the
beginning of each subsequent 90-day period, subject to the provisos in the last sentence of this
paragraph;

	 	 	 	provided, however, that Additional Interest will not accrue under more than one of
the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) at any one time; provided further,
however, that the amount of Additional Interest accruing on the Notes shall not exceed at
any one time in the aggregate 1.0% per annum; and provided further,
however, that (1) upon the filing of the Exchange Registration Statement or Initial Shelf
Registration Statement (in the case of clause (i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the
Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of clause (ii) above),
(3) upon the exchange of Exchange Notes for all Notes tendered (in the case of clause (iii)(A)
above), (4) upon the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain
effective (in the case of clause (iii)(B) above), or (5) upon the day the Prospectus in any Shelf
Registration Statement the use of which was previously suspended may be used again (in the case of
clause (iii)(C) above), Additional Interest on the Notes as a result of such clause (or the
relevant subclause thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Company shall notify the Trustee within three Business Days after each and every date on
which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an “Event
Date”). Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (a)(i),
(a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this Section 4 will be payable in cash, on the dates
and in the manner provided in the Indenture and whether or not any cash interest would then be
payable on such date, commencing with the first such semi-annual date occurring after any such
Additional Interest commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by
multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Notes,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest
rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed), and
the denominator of which is 360.

5. Intentionally Omitted

6. Registration Procedures

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

	 	(a)	 	Prepare and file with the SEC the Exchange Registration Statement in accordance with Section 2
or a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 3; provided that, if (1) a
Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (2) a Prospectus contained in an
Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the
Applicable Period, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto the Company shall (and shall cause each Guarantor to), if requested, furnish at
no charge to the Holders of the Registrable Notes to be registered pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement, each Participating Broker-Dealer, the managing underwriters, if any, and
each of their respective counsel, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents
(including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits
thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least 5: Business Days prior to such
filing). The Company and each Guarantor shall not file (and shall not allow any of the other
Guarantors to) any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto in respect of which the Holders must provide information for the inclusion therein without
the Holders being afforded an opportunity to review such documentation if the holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement, or
any such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or the managing underwriters, if any, or
any of their respective counsel shall reasonably object in writing prior to such filing date. A
Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration Statement,
amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes, the Exchange Notes or the Private
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture (or other indenture relating to the
Registrable Notes) to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first
Registration Statement; and in connection therewith, to effect such changes to such indenture as
may be required for such indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and
execute, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such trustee to execute, all documents as may
be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents

12

 

	 	 	 	required to be filed with the SEC to enable such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Prepare and file with the SEC such pre-effective amendments and post-effective amendments to
each Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period
or the Applicable Period, as the case may be; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by
any Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to them with
respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended
or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any
securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus. The Company
and each Guarantor shall not (and shall not allow any other Guarantor to), during the Applicable
Period, voluntarily take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in selling Holders
of the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement or Participating Broker-Dealers
seeking to sell Exchange Notes not being able to sell such Registrable Notes or such Exchange Notes
during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law, rule or regulation or
permitted by this Agreement.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Furnish to such selling Holders and Participating Broker-Dealers who so request in writing (i)
upon the Company’s receipt, a copy of the order of the SEC declaring such Registration Statement
and any post effective amendment thereto effective, (ii) such reasonable number of copies of such
Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including any
documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits), (iii) such reasonable number of
copies of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary
Prospectus) and each amendment and supplement thereto, and such reasonable number of copies of the
final Prospectus as filed by the Company and each Guarantor pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and each amendment and
supplement thereto, and (iv) such other documents (including any amendments required to be filed
pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 6), as any such Person may reasonably request in writing.
The Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus by each of the selling
Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the
underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of
the Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes
pursuant to, such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
	 
	 	(e)	 	If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus
contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating

13

 

	 	 	 	Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto, the
Company shall notify in writing the selling Holders of Registrable Notes, or each such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the managing underwriters, if any, and each of
their respective counsel promptly (but in any event within 2 Business Days) (i) when a Prospectus
or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective
(including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, without
charge, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including
financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any
Prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if at any time when a
Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the
Registrable Notes the representations and warranties of the Company and any Guarantor contained in
any agreement (including any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 6(n) hereof) cease to
be true and correct, (iv) of the receipt by the Company or any Guarantor of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of a Registration
Statement or any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating
Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event, the existence of any condition of
any information becoming known that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference
untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in, or amendments or
supplements to, such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (vi)
of any reasonable determination by the Company or any Guarantor that a post-effective amendment to
a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (vii) of any request by the SEC for amendments to
the Registration Statement or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating
thereto.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of a
Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the
Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale in
any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use its best efforts to obtain the
withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible date.

therein relating to such underwriters or selling Holders as the managing underwriters, if any, or
such Holders or any of their respective counsel reasonably request in writing to be included or
made therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the
matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplements or post-effective amendment.
	 
	 	(h)	 	Prior to any public offering of Registrable Notes or any delivery of a Prospectus contained in
the Exchange Registration Statement by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange
Notes during the Applicable Period, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and
cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer,
as the case may be, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the
registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, for offer and sale under the securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder, Participating
Broker-Dealer or any managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, reasonably request in writing;
provided that where Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or Registrable
Notes are offered other than through an Underwritten Offering, the Company and each Guarantor agree
to cause its counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and use its reasonable best efforts to file
any registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 6(h), use its
reasonable best efforts to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom)
effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and use
its reasonable best efforts to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Exchange Notes held by
Participating Broker-Dealers or the Registrable Notes covered by the applicable Registration
Statement; provided that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to (A)
qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take
any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is
not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject.
	 
	 	(i)	 	If (A) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (B) a Prospectus
contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is requested to be
delivered under the Securities Act by any

15

 

	 	 	 	Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period,
cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes and the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Registrable Notes to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive
legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company, and enable
such Registrable Notes to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holders may reasonably request in writing.
	 
	 	(j)	 	Use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Notes covered by any Registration
Statement to be registered with or approved by such governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter, if any, to consummate the
disposition of such Registrable Notes, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the
nature of such selling Holder’s business, in which case the Company shall (and shall cause each
Guarantor to) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement
and the granting of such approvals; provided that neither the Company nor any Guarantor
shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then
so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
	 
	 	(k)	 	If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus
contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange
Notes during the Applicable Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section
6(e)(v) or 6(e)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable, prepare and file with the SEC, at the
expense of the Company and the Guarantors, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes being sold thereunder or to the
purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom such Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating
Broker-Dealer, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, if SEC review is
required, use its best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective as
soon as possible.
	 
	 	(l)	 	Use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration
Statement to be rated with such appropriate rating agencies, if so requested in writing by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such
Registration Statement or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any.

(including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in Underwritten
Offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances) and
take all such other actions in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested in
writing by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Registrable Notes being sold) as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of debt
securities similar to the Notes as may be appropriate in connection therewith in order to expedite
or facilitate the registration or the disposition of such Registrable Notes, and in such
connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the
registration is an Underwritten Registration (except as set forth below), (i) make such
representations and warranties to the Holders and the underwriters, if any, with respect to the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries as then conducted, and the Registration Statement,
Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein,
in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in
Underwritten Offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the
circumstances, and confirm the same if and when reasonably required; (ii) use reasonable best
efforts to obtain an opinion of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors and updates thereof
(which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
managing underwriters, if any, and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Notes being sold), addressed to each selling Holder and each of the underwriters, if
any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions of counsel to the Company and the
Guarantors requested in Underwritten Offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be
appropriate in the circumstances, provided, however, that this shall only be
requested in Underwritten Registrations; (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort”
letters and updates thereof (which letters and updates (in form, scope and substance) shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters) from the independent certified public
accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other independent certified
public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for
which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the
Registration Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, such letters to be in customary
form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection
with Underwritten Offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the
circumstances, and such other matters as reasonably requested in writing by the underwriters, provided, however, that this shall only be requested in Underwritten Registrations; and
(iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested in writing

17

 

	 	 	 	by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold and
the managing underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and
warranties of the Company and its subsidiaries made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence
compliance with any conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other similar agreement
entered into by the Company or any Guarantor.
	 
	 	(o)	 	If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus
contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange
Notes during the Applicable Period, make available for inspection by a representative of the Holder
of such Registrable Notes being sold, and representative of each such Participating Broker-Dealer,
as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Notes, if
any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such selling Holder or each such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or underwriter (collectively, the
“Inspectors”), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all
financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company and its subsidiaries
(collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise
any applicable due diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested in writing by any
such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Each Inspector shall agree in
writing that it will keep the Records confidential and not disclose any of the Records unless (i)
the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such
Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other
order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) the information in such Records is public or
has been made generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure
to safeguard by such Inspector or (iv) disclosure of such information is, in the reasonable written
opinion of counsel for any Inspector, necessary or advisable in connection with any action, claim,
suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially involving such Inspector and
arising out of, based upon, related to, or involving this Agreement, or any transaction
contemplated hereby or arising hereunder. Each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each
such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to agree that information obtained by it as a
result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis
for any market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such information is
made generally available to the public. Each Inspector, each selling Holder of such Registrable
Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further agree that it will,
upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give
notice to the Company and, to the extent practicable, use its best efforts to allow the Company, at
its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed
confidential at its expense.

18

 

	 	(p)	 	Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering at least 12 months which
shall satisfy the provisions of Section 1l(a) of the 1933 Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
	 
	 	(q)	 	If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the
Registrable Notes by the Holders to the Company and the Guarantors (or to such other Person as
directed by the Company and the Guarantors) in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, the Company and the Guarantors shall mark, or cause to be
marked, on such Registrable Notes that the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the
case may be, are being issued as substitute evidence of the indebtedness originally evidenced by
the Registrable Notes; provided that in no event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as
paid or otherwise satisfied.
	 
	 	(r)	 	Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement and each
underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Notes and their
respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD.
	 
	 	(s)	 	Use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the
registration of the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby.
	 
	 	(t)	 	The Company may require each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to
which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such
seller or Participating Broker-Dealer and the distribution of such Registrable Notes as the Company
may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing. The Company may exclude from such
registration the Registrable Notes of any seller who fails to furnish such information within a
reasonable time (which time in no event shall exceed 45 days) after receiving such request. Each
seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being
effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in
order to make the information previously furnished by such seller not materially misleading.
	 
	 	(u)	 	Each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition of
such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the
case may be, that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the
kind described in Section 6(e)(ii), 6(e)(iv), 6(e)(v), or 6(e)(vi), such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of such Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement and such
Participating Broker-Dealer will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Exchange Notes pursuant
to any Prospectus and, in each case, forthwith discontinue dissemination of such Prospectus until
such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus

19

 

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

7. Registration Expenses

aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes to be included in any Registration Statement.
The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional
taxes attributable to the issuance or delivery of the Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes in
exchange for the Notes; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay taxes
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any Exchange Note or
Private Exchange Note in a name other than that of the Holder of the Note in respect of which such
Exchange Note or Private Exchange Note is being issued. The Company and the Guarantors shall
reimburse the Holders for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel to the Holders) relating to any enforcement of any rights of the
Holders under this Agreement.

8. Indemnification

	 	(a)	 	Indemnification by the Company and the Guarantors. The Company and the Guarantors
jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Notes,
Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange
Notes during the Applicable Period, each Person, if any, who controls each such Holder (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) and the officers,
directors and partners of each such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer and controlling person, to
the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
(including, without limitation, reasonable and documented costs of preparation and reasonable
attorneys’ fees as provided in this Section 8) and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or
defending against any of the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, directly or
indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement,
Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary
prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated

21

 

	 	 	 	therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Losses are primarily based upon information
relating to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer and furnished in writing to the Company and
the Guarantors (or reviewed and approved in writing) by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer
or their counsel expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the Company and
the Guarantors will not be liable to any Indemnified Party (as defined below) under this Section 8
to the extent Losses were primarily caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission that was contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and corrected in the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto if (i) the Prospectus does not contain any other
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact that was
the subject matter of the related proceedings, (ii) any such Losses resulted from an action, claim
or suit by any Person who purchased Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes which are the subject
thereof from such Indemnified Party and (iii) it is established in the related proceeding that such
Indemnified Party failed to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented) to such Person with or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Registrable
Notes or Exchange Notes sold to such Person if required by applicable law, unless such failure to
deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of
noncompliance by the Company with Section 6 of this Agreement. The Company and the Guarantors also
agree to indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry
professionals participating in the distribution, their officers, directors, agents and employees
and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the
indemnification of the Holders or the Participating Broker-Dealer.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Indemnification by Holder. In connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or
form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus in which a
Holder is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company and the Guarantors in writing
such information as the Company and the Guarantors reasonably request for use in connection with
any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto,
or any preliminary prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors,
their respective directors and each Person, if any, who controls the Company and the Guarantors
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and
the directors, officers and partners of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent lawful,
from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of
prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such losses

22

 

	 	 	 	are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, unappealable
order to have resulted primarily from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from any
information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company and the Guarantors expressly for
use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder
be greater in amount than such Holder’s Maximum Contribution Amount (as defined below).
	 
	 	(c)	 	Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted
against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or parties from which such indemnity is sought
(the “Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnifying Parties”, as applicable) in writing;
provided, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Parties from any obligation or liability except to the extent (but only to the extent)
that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is
not subject to appeal) that the Indemnifying Parties have been prejudiced materially by such
failure.

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

     No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without
its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with its written
consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, each
Indemnifying Party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set

23

 

forth above, to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all
Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such
proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder (whether
or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto).

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

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

24

 

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

9. Rules 144A

     Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any
Registrable Notes remain outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of
Registrable Notes in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such
Registrable Notes from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Registrable Notes pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act.

10. Underwritten Registrations of Registrable Notes

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

     No Holder of Registrable Notes may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless
such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Notes on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements
and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, not less than a majority of the Registrable Notes
may be sold in an Underwritten Offering.

11. Miscellaneous

	 	(a)	 	Remedies. In the event of a breach by either the Company or any of the Guarantors of
any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being
entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Indenture or, in the case of the Initial
Purchaser, in the Purchase Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be
entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and the Guarantors
agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a
breach by either the Company or any of the Guarantors of any of the provisions of this Agreement
and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law
would be adequate.
	 
	 	(b)	 	No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and each of the Guarantors have not entered, as
of the date hereof, and the Company and each of the Guarantors shall not enter, after the date of
this Agreement, into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with
the rights granted to the Holders in this

25

 

	 	 	 	Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Other than any agreements that exist
on the date hereof, the Company and each of the Guarantors will not enter into any agreement
granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Adjustments Affecting Registrable Notes. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly,
take any action with respect to the Registrable Notes as a class that would reasonably be expected
to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to consummate any Exchange Offer.
	 
	 	(d)	 	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, other than with the prior written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Notes in circumstances that would
adversely affect any Holders of Registrable Notes; provided, however, that Section
8 and this Section 11(d) may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written
consent of each Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the
provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of
Registrable Notes whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer or sold
pursuant to a Notes Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair,
limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Notes may be given by Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being tendered or being
sold by such Holders pursuant to such Notes Registration Statement.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall
be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class mail, next-day air courier or

without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders of Securities, provided,
however, that this Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of or be binding upon a

	 	(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

	 	(h)	 	Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and

27

 

	 	 	 	WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAW. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTORS HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE

AGREEMENT, AND IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITS AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTORS
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY
JURY AND ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH OF THE COMPANY
AND THE GUARANTORS IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO
THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTORS AT THEIR SAID ADDRESS, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS
AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY HOLDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY
OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE
COMPANY OR THE GUARANTORS IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
	 
	 	(j)	 	Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder
of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall
use their best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially
the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby
stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
	 
	 	(k)	 	Securities Held by the Company or Its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or approval of
Holders of a specified percentage of Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the
Company or its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule

28

 

	 	 	 	405 under the Securities Act) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval
was given by the Holders of such required percentage.
	 
	 	(1)	 	Third Party Beneficiaries. Holders and Participating Broker-Dealers are intended third
party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement may be enforced by such Persons.

EXECUTION COPY

JOINDER AGREEMENT
