to be filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement covering an offer to the
Holders to exchange all the Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities and
(ii) have such Registration Statement remain effective until the earlier of (A)
180 days after the closing of the Exchange Offer and (B) such time as no
broker-dealer holds any Registrable Securities. The Company shall commence the
Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is
declared effective by the SEC and use all commercially reasonable efforts to
complete the Exchange Offer not later than 60 days after such effective date.

     withdrawn will be accepted for exchange;

<PAGE>

          (iii) that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain
     outstanding and continue to accrue interest but will not retain any rights
     under this Agreement;

          (iv) that any Holder electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged
     pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender such
     Registrable Security, together with the appropriate letters of transmittal,
     to the institution and at the address and in the manner specified in the
     notice, prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date; and

          (v) that any Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election, not
     later than the close of business on the last Exchange Date, by sending to
     the institution and at the address specified in the notice, a telegram,
     telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such
     Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for
     exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to
     have such Notes due 2013 exchanged.

     As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be
required to represent to the Company that (i) any Exchange Securities to be
received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at
the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement or
understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the
provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) it is not an "affiliate" (within the
meaning of Rule 405 under Securities Act) of the Company and (iv) if such Holder
is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a result of
market-making or other trading activities, then such Holder will deliver a
Prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.

     As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company shall:

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

          (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancelation
     all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by
     the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and
     deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to
     the principal amount of the Registrable Securities surrendered by such
     Holder.

          The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to complete
the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws
and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall
not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not
violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff of the
SEC.

          (b) In the event that (i) the Company determines that the Exchange
Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may
not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it
would violate any applicable law or

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

applicable interpretations of the Staff of the SEC, (ii) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not for any other reason declared effective by the SEC
by the 270th day following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange Offer has been
completed and, in the opinion of counsel for the Initial Purchasers, a
Registration Statement must be filed and a Prospectus must be delivered by the
Initial Purchasers in connection with any offering or sale of Registrable
Securities originally purchased and still held by the Initial Purchasers, the
Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed as
soon as practicable after such determination, date or delivery of such opinion
of counsel to the Company, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement
providing for the sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof
and to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC. To
the extent a Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed pursuant to
clause (ii) and the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective
by the SEC on a date later than the 270th day following the Closing Date, upon
the completion of the Exchange Offer, the Company will no longer be required to
file, make effective or continue the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement, except as may be required pursuant to clause (i) or (iii).

          In the event that the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company shall
use all commercially reasonable efforts to file and have declared effective by
the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a)
with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement
(which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable
Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after completion of the Exchange
Offer.

          The Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep
the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the expiration of
the period referred to in Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act with respect to
the Registrable Securities or such shorter period that will terminate when all
the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been
sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or are no longer outstanding
(the "Shelf Effectiveness Period"). The Company further agrees to supplement or
amend the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus if required by
the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used
by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or
by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if
reasonably and timely requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities with
respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use all commercially
reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such
Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as
thereafter practicable. The Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of
Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after
its being used or filed with the SEC.

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

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

          (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a)
hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will
not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by
the SEC.

          In the event that either (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is not declared
effective on or prior to the 270th day following the Closing Date or (ii) the
Exchange Offer is not consummated on or prior to the 330th day following the
Closing Date, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased
by 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period and will increase by an
additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement,
if required hereby, is declared effective by the SEC or the Notes due 2013
become freely tradable under the Securities Act; provided, however, that in no
event will such additional interest exceed 1.00%.

          If the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective and
thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein
ceases to be usable at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such
failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 60 consecutive days
or more than 90 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period, then
the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 1.00% per
annum, commencing on the 61st or 91st day in such 12-month period and ending on
such date that the Shelf Registration Statement has again been declared
effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable; provided, however, that in no
event will such additional interest, together with the additional interest
payable pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, if any, exceed 1.00%.

          (e) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers
and the Holders, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to
comply with its obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may
result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders
for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to
measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such
failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be
required to specifically enforce the Company's obligations under Section 2(a)
and Section 2(b) hereof.

          3. Registration Procedures. In connection with its obligations
pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company shall:

          (a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the
     appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (x) shall be selected
     by the Company, (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be
     available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the selling Holders
     thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the
     requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements
     required by the SEC to be filed therewith; and use all commercially
     reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective
     and remain effective for the applicable period in accordance with Section 2
     hereof;

          (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
     amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

     Registration Statement effective for the applicable period in accordance
     with Section 2 hereof and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any
     required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed
     pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and keep each Prospectus
     current during the period described in Section 4(3) of and Rule 174 under

          (c) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of
     Registrable Securities, to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to counsel
     for such Holders and to each Underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of
     Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as many copies of each
     Prospectus as reasonably requested, including each preliminary Prospectus,
     and any amendment or supplement thereto, in order to facilitate the sale or
     other disposition of the Registrable Securities thereunder; and the Company
     consents to the use of such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
     thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the selling Holders of
     Registrable Securities and any such Underwriters in connection with the
     offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by and in the
     manner described in such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
     in accordance with applicable law;

          (d) use all commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the
     Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities or blue sky
     laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered
     by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing by the time
     the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;
     cooperate with the Holders in connection with any filings required to be
     made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and do any
     and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable
     to enable each Holder to complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction
     of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided that the
     Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or
     other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it
     would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general
     consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject
     itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not so subject;

          (e) in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Holder of
     Registrable Securities, counsel for such Holders and counsel for the
     Initial Purchasers promptly and, if requested by any such Holder or
     counsel, confirm such advice in writing (i) when a Registration Statement
     has become effective and when any post-effective amendment thereto has been
     filed and becomes effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state
     securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration
     Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after the
     Registration Statement has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the
     SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the
     effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any
     proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if, between the effective date of a
     Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable
     Securities covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the
     Company contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement
     or other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such
     Registrable Securities cease to be true and correct in all material
     respects or if the

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

     Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the
     qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or
     the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of
     any event during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is effective
     that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or the related
     Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of
     any changes in such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make
     the statements therein not misleading and (vi) of any determination by the
     Company that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
     be appropriate;

          (f) use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal
     of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at
     the earliest possible moment and provide immediate notice to each Holder of
     the withdrawal of any such order;

          (g) in the case of a Shelf Registration, if requested, furnish to each

     with the provisions of the Indenture) as the selling Holders may reasonably
     request at least one Business Day prior to the closing of any sale of
     Registrable Securities;

          (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any
     event contemplated by Section 3(e)(v) hereof, use all commercially
     reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or
     post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related
     Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any
     other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of
     the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
     they were made, not misleading; and the Company shall notify the Holders of
     Registrable Securities to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as

     be reasonably requested by the

                                      -9-

     counsel) available for discussion of such document; and the Company shall
     not, at any time after initial filing of a Registration Statement, file any

     Registration Statement or a Prospectus, of which the Initial Purchasers and
     their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the
     Holders of Registrable Securities and their counsel) shall not have
     previously been advised and furnished a copy or to which the Initial
     Purchasers or their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration
     Statement, the Holders or their counsel) shall reasonably object;

          (k) obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or Registrable
     Securities, as the case may be, not later than the effective date of a
     Registration Statement;

          (l) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act
     in connection with the registration of the Exchange Securities or
     Registrable Securities, as the case may be; cooperate with the Trustee and
     the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for
     the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust
     Indenture Act; and execute, and use all commercially reasonable efforts to
     cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect
     such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with
     the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

          (m) in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection
     by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable Securities reasonably
     acceptable to the Company (an "Inspector"), any Underwriter participating
     in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, and
     attorneys and accountants designated by the Holders, at reasonable times
     and in a reasonable manner, all pertinent financial and other records,
     documents and properties of the Company, and cause the officers, directors
     and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested
     by any such Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection
     with a Shelf Registration Statement; provided that if any such information
     is identified by the Company as being confidential or proprietary, each
     Person receiving such information shall take such actions as are reasonably
     necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information to the extent
     such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in
     derogation of the rights and interests of any Inspector, Holder or
     Underwriter;

          (n) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use all commercially
     reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on any
     securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar
     securities issued or guaranteed by the Company are then listed if requested
     by the Majority Holders, to the extent such Registrable Securities satisfy
     applicable listing requirements;

          (o) if reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities
     covered by a Registration Statement, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus
     supplement or post-effective amendment such information with respect to
     such Holder as such Holder

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

     reasonably requests to be included therein and make all required filings of
     such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as the
     Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such
     filing; and

          (p) in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary
     agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith
     (including those reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in
     principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold) in order to
     expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities
     including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such
     connection, (i) to the extent possible, make such representations and
     warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable
     Securities with respect to the business of the Company and its
     subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents
     incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in
     each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers
     to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when
     requested, (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (which counsel
     and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably
     satisfactory to the Holders and such Underwriters and their respective
     counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable
     Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested
     in underwritten offerings, (iii) obtain "comfort" letters from the
     independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary,
     any other certified public accountant 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 selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable
     Securities, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of
     the type customarily covered in "comfort" letters in connection with
     underwritten offerings and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as
     may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal
     amount of the Registrable Securities being sold or the Underwriters, and
     which are customarily delivered in underwritten offerings, to evidence the
     continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company
     made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any
     customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement.

          In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require
each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company such information
regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such
Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request
in writing.

          In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of
Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e)(iii) or
3(e)(v) hereof or a notice pursuant to the last sentence of this paragraph, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof and, if
so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company all copies
in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is
current at the time of receipt of such notice. In addition, the

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

Company may give notice of the suspension of the offering and sale under the
Shelf Registration Statement for a period or periods upon the occurrence or
existence of any pending corporate development that, in the good faith judgment
of the Board of Directors of the Company, makes such suspension necessary.

          If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition
of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company
shall extend the period during which the Registration Statement shall be
maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the
period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including
the date when the Holders shall have received copies of the supplemented or
amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company may give
any such notice only twice during any 365-day period and any such suspensions
shall not exceed 45 days for each suspension and there shall not be more than
two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period.

          The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration
Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an
Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker
or investment bankers and manager or managers (the "Underwriters") that will
administer the offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the
Registrable Securities included in such offering.

          4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff of
the SEC has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange
Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Notes due
2013 that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or
other trading activities (a "Participating Broker-Dealer") may be deemed to be
an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resale of such Exchange Securities.

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

          (b) In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Agreement, the Company agrees to amend or supplement the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be
contemplated by Section 3(i), for a period of up to 180 days after the last
Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to the penultimate
paragraph of Section 3 of this Agreement), if requested by the Initial
Purchasers or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in order to expedite
or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating
Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section
4(a) above. The Company further agrees that

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus
during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section
4.

          (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company or
any Holder with respect to any request that they may make pursuant to Section
4(b) above.

          5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their
respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who
controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit,
action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are
incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement or any Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to
state therein 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, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or any Holder
furnished to the Company in writing through J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or any
selling Holder expressly for use therein; provided, that with respect to any
such untrue statement in or omission from any preliminary prospectus, the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(a) shall not inure to the
benefit of any Initial Purchaser or any Holder from whom the person asserting
any such loss, claim, damage or liability received Notes due 2013 or Exchange
Securities to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of or
with respect to such Initial Purchaser or Holder results from the fact that both
(i) a copy of the final prospectus was not sent or given to such person at or
prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Notes due 2013 or Exchange
Securities to such person and (ii) the untrue statement in or omission from the
related preliminary prospectus was corrected in the final prospectus unless, in
either case, such failure to deliver the final prospectus was a result of
non-compliance by the Company with the provisions of Section 3. In connection
with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company will also
indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar
securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their
respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within the
meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as
provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested
in connection with any Registration Statement.

          (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders,
their respective affiliates, the directors of the Company, each officer of the
Company who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who
controls the Company, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but
only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out
of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission made in reliance upon

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the
Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration
Statement and any Prospectus.

          (c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against
any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either
paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the "Indemnified Person") shall
promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the
"Indemnifying Person") in writing; provided that the failure to notify the
Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have
under this Section 5 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced
(through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and
provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person
otherwise than under this Section 5. If any such proceeding shall be brought or
asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the
Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified
Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5
that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In
any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its
own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the
Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with
any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any
local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses
shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any
Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control
Persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc., (y) for any Holder, its affiliates, directors and officers and
any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the
Majority Holders and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by
the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of
any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying
Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested
that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and
expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after
receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying
Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such
request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall,
without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have
been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A)
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not
include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure
to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b)
above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company from the offering of the Notes due 2013 and the
Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving Notes
due 2013 or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the
other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holders
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

          (e) The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or
by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by
an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities
referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such
Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Notes due 2013 or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount
of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of
such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

          (f) The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any
Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

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

          6. General.

          (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents, warrants and
agrees that (i) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way
conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of
any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Company under any
other agreement and (ii) the Company has not entered into, and on or after the
date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent
with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this
Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

          (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders
of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement,
waiver or consent; provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver
or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be
effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in
writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications, supplements, waivers or
consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by each of
the parties hereto.

          (c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered
first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial
Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the
Company, initially at the Company's address set forth in the Purchase Agreement
and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other Persons at
their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter
at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices and communications shall be
deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally
delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage
prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is
acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to
an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. Copies of all such notices,
demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person
giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.

                                      -16-

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

          (e) Purchases and Sales of Notes due 2013. The Company shall not, and
shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause its affiliates (as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) not to, purchase and then resell
or otherwise transfer any Registrable Securities.

          (f) Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party
beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to
enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement
necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders
hereunder.

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

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

          (i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

          (j) Miscellaneous. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. If any term, provision,
covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public
policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions
contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated. The Company and the Initial Purchasers shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, void or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, void or unenforceable
provisions.

                                                                    EXHIBIT 4.16

                   DISCOUNT NOTE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

          This DISCOUNT NOTE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT dated November 10,
2003 (the "Agreement") is entered into by and among Dex Media, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America
Securities LLC and Lehman Brothers Inc. (collectively, the "Initial
Purchasers").

          The Company and the Initial Purchasers are parties to the Purchase
Agreement dated November 3, 2003 (the "Purchase Agreement"), which provides for
the sale by the Company to the Initial Purchasers of $389,000,000 aggregate
principal amount at maturity (yielding gross proceeds of $250,181,460) of the
Company's 9% Discount Notes due 2013 (the "Discount Notes") and $500,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8% Notes due 2013. As an inducement
to the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company has
agreed to provide to the Initial Purchasers and their direct and indirect
transferees the registration rights with respect to the Discount Notes set forth
in this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition
to the closing under the Purchase Agreement.

          In consideration of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

the SEC, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause
to be filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement covering an offer to the
Holders to exchange all the Registrable Securities for Discount Exchange
Securities and (ii) have such Registration Statement remain effective until the
earlier of (A) 180 days after the closing of the Exchange Offer and (B) such

efforts to complete the Exchange Offer not later than 60 days after such
effective date.

          The Company shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the related
Prospectus, appropriate letters of transmittal and other accompanying documents
to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by

     withdrawn will be accepted for exchange;

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

          (ii) the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of
     at least 20 Business Days from the date such notice is mailed) (the
     "Exchange Dates");

          (iii) that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain
     outstanding and continue to accrete at the Applicable Rate and, following
     the Full Accretion Date, accrue interest but will not retain any rights
     under this Agreement;

          (iv) that any Holder electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged
     pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender such
     Registrable Security, together with the appropriate letters of transmittal,
     to the institution and at the address and in the manner specified in the
     notice, prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date; and

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

     As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be
required to represent to the Company that (i) any Discount Exchange Securities
to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business,
(ii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has no arrangement
or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) of the Discount Exchange Securities in violation
of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) it is not an "affiliate" (within
the meaning of Rule 405 under Securities Act) of the Company and (iv) if such
Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Discount Exchange Securities for its
own account in exchange for Registrable Securities that were acquired as a
result of market-making or other trading activities, then such Holder will
deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of such Discount Exchange
Securities.

     As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company shall:

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

          (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancelation
     all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by
     the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and
     deliver to each Holder, Discount Exchange Securities equal in Accreted
     Value and principal amount at maturity to the Accreted Value and principal
     amount at maturity of the Registrable Securities surrendered by such
     Holder.

          The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to complete
the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws
and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall
not be subject to any conditions, other than that

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

the Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable
interpretations of the Staff of the SEC.

          (b) In the event that (i) the Company determines that the Exchange
Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may
not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it
would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff of
the SEC, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not for any other
reason declared effective by the SEC by the 270th day following the Closing Date
or (iii) the Exchange Offer has been completed and, in the opinion of counsel
for the Initial Purchasers, a Registration Statement must be filed and a
Prospectus must be delivered by the Initial Purchasers in connection with any
offering or sale of Registrable Securities originally purchased and still held
by the Initial Purchasers, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination,
date or delivery of such opinion of counsel to the Company, as the case may be,
a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale of all the Registrable
Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such Shelf Registration Statement
declared effective by the SEC. To the extent a Shelf Registration Statement is
required to be filed pursuant to clause (ii) and the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is declared effective by the SEC on a date later than the 270th day
following the Closing Date, upon the completion of the Exchange Offer, the
Company will no longer be required to file, make effective or continue the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, except as may be required
pursuant to clause (i) or (iii).

          In the event that the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company shall
use all commercially reasonable efforts to file and have declared effective by
the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a)
with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement
(which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable
Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after completion of the Exchange
Offer.

          The Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep
the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the expiration of
the period referred to in Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act with respect to
the Registrable Securities or such shorter period that will terminate when all
the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been
sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or are no longer outstanding
(the "Shelf Effectiveness Period"). The Company further agrees to supplement or
amend the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus if required by
the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used
by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or
by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if
reasonably and timely requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities with
respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use all commercially
reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such
Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as
thereafter practicable. The Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of
Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after
its being used or filed with the SEC.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

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

          (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a)
hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will
not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by
the SEC.

          In the event that either (x) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is not declared
effective on or prior to the 270th day following the Closing Date or (y) the
Exchange Offer is not consummated on or prior to the 330th day following the
Closing Date, then (i) if prior to the Full Accretion Date, the Applicable Rate
on the Registrable Securities will be increased by a per annum rate of 0.25% on
the Accreted Value of the Registrable Securities (as of the most recent
semi-annual accretion date) for the first 90-day period and will increase by an
additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement,
if required hereby, is declared effective by the SEC or the Discount Notes
become freely tradable under the Securities Act and (ii) if after the Full
Accretion Date, the interest rate (paid in cash on each scheduled interest
payment date) on the Registrable Securities will be increased by 0.25% per annum
for the first 90-day period and will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum
with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby,
is declared effective by the SEC or the Discount Notes become freely tradable
under the Securities Act; provided, however, that in no event will such
additional accretion or additional interest pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii)
exceed 1.00% individually or on an aggregate basis.

          If the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective and
thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein
ceases to be usable at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such
failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 60 consecutive days
or more than 90 days (whether or not consecutive) in any 12-month period, then
(i) if prior to the Full Accretion Date, the Applicable Rate of accretion on the
Registrable Securities will be increased by 1.00% per annum on the Accreted
Value of the Registrable Securities (as of the most recent semi-annual accretion
date), commencing on the 61st or 91st day in such 12-month period and ending on
such date that the Shelf Registration Statement has again been declared
effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable and (ii) if after the Full
Accretion Date, the interest rate on the Registrable Securities will be
increased by 1.00% per annum, commencing on the 61st or 91st day in such
12-month period and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration Statement
has again been declared effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable;
provided, however, that in no event will such additional accretion or additional
interest pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii), together with the additional accretion
or additional interest payable pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph,
if any, exceed 1.00% individually or on an aggregate basis.

          (e) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers
and the Holders, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to
comply with its obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may
result in material irreparable injury to

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at
law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely
and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder
may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company's
obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

          3. Registration Procedures. In connection with its obligations
pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company shall:

          (a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the
     appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (x) shall be selected
     by the Company, (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be
     available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the selling Holders
     thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the
     requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements
     required by the SEC to be filed therewith; and use all commercially
     reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective
     and remain effective for the applicable period in accordance with Section 2
     hereof;

          (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
     amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such
     Registration Statement effective for the applicable period in accordance

     required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed
     pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and keep each Prospectus

          (c) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of
     Registrable Securities, to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to counsel
     for such Holders and to each Underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of
     Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as many copies of each
     Prospectus as reasonably requested, including each preliminary Prospectus,
     and any amendment or supplement thereto, in order to facilitate the sale or
     other disposition of the Registrable Securities thereunder; and the Company
     consents to the use of such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
     thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the selling Holders of
     Registrable Securities and any such Underwriters in connection with the
     offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by and in the
     manner described in such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
     in accordance with applicable law;

          (d) use all commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the
     Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities or blue sky
     laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Securities covered
     by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing by the time
     the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;
     cooperate with the Holders in connection with any filings required to be
     made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and do any
     and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable
     to enable each Holder to complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction
     of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided that the
     Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

     foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any
     such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify,
     (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such
     jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction
     if it is not so subject;

          (e) in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Holder of
     Registrable Securities, counsel for such Holders and counsel for the
     Initial Purchasers promptly and, if requested by any such Holder or
     counsel, confirm such advice in writing (i) when a Registration Statement
     has become effective and when any post-effective amendment thereto has been
     filed and becomes effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state
     securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration
     Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after the
     Registration Statement has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the
     SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the
     effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any
     proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if, between the effective date of a
     Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable
     Securities covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the
     Company contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement
     or other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such
     Registrable Securities cease to be true and correct in all material
     respects or if the Company receives any notification with respect to the
     suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in
     any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (v)
     of the happening of any event during the period a Shelf Registration
     Statement is effective that makes any statement made in such Registration
     Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that
     requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement or
     Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading and (vi)

     to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names (consistent
     with the provisions of the Indenture) as the selling Holders may reasonably
     request at least one Business Day prior to the closing of any sale of
     Registrable Securities;

          (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any
     event contemplated by Section 3(e)(v) hereof, use all commercially
     reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or
     post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related
     Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any
     other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of
     the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
     they were made, not misleading; and the Company shall notify the Holders of
     Registrable Securities to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as
     practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and such Holders hereby
     agree to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Company has amended or

     Shelf Registration Statement, to the Holders of Registrable Securities and
     their counsel) and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall
     be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel (and, in

     Securities or their counsel) available for discussion of such document; and
     the Company shall not, at any time after initial filing of a Registration
     Statement, file any Prospectus, any amendment of or supplement to a
     Registration Statement or a Prospectus, or any document that is to be
     incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus, of
     which the Initial Purchasers and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf
     Registration Statement, the Holders of Registrable Securities and their
     counsel) shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy or to
     which the Initial Purchasers or their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf
     Registration Statement, the Holders or their counsel) shall reasonably
     object;

          (k) obtain a CUSIP number for all Discount Exchange Securities or
     Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not later than the effective
     date of a Registration Statement;

          (l) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act
     in connection with the registration of the Discount Exchange Securities or
     Registrable Securities, as the case may be; cooperate with the Trustee and
     the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for
     the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust
     Indenture Act; and execute, and use all commercially reasonable efforts to
     cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect
     such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with
     the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

          (m) in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection
     by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable Securities reasonably
     acceptable to the Company (an "Inspector"), any Underwriter participating
     in any disposition pursuant to

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

     such Shelf Registration Statement, and attorneys and accountants designated
     by the Holders, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, all
     pertinent financial and other records, documents and properties of the
     Company, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to
     supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector,
     Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration
     Statement; provided that if any such information is identified by the
     Company as being confidential or proprietary, each Person receiving such
     information shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect
     the confidentiality of such information to the extent such action is
     otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the
     rights and interests of any Inspector, Holder or Underwriter;

          (n) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use all commercially
     reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on any
     securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar
     securities issued or guaranteed by the Company are then listed if requested
     by the Majority Holders, to the extent such Registrable Securities satisfy
     applicable listing requirements;

          (o) if reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities
     covered by a Registration Statement, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus
     supplement or post-effective amendment such information with respect to
     such Holder as such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein and
     make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such
     post-effective amendment as soon as the Company has received notification
     of the matters to be incorporated in such filing; and

          (p) in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary
     agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith
     (including those reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in
     principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold) in order to
     expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities
     including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such
     connection, (i) to the extent possible, make such representations and
     warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable
     Securities with respect to the business of the Company and its
     subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents
     incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in
     each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers
     to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when
     requested, (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (which counsel
     and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably
     satisfactory to the Holders and such Underwriters and their respective
     counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable
     Securities, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested
     in underwritten offerings, (iii) obtain "comfort" letters from the
     independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary,
     any other certified public accountant 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 selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable
     Securities, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of
     the type customarily covered in "comfort" letters in connection with
     underwritten offerings and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as
     may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal
     amount of the

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

     Registrable Securities being sold or the Underwriters, and which are
     customarily delivered in underwritten offerings, to evidence the continued
     validity of the representations and warranties of the Company made pursuant
     to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary
     conditions contained in an underwriting agreement.

          In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require
each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company such information
regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such
Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request
in writing.

          In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of
Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e)(iii) or
3(e)(v) hereof or a notice pursuant to the last sentence of this paragraph, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant
to a Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof and, if
so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company all copies
in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is
current at the time of receipt of such notice. In addition, the Company may give
notice of the suspension of the offering and sale under the Shelf Registration
Statement for a period or periods upon the occurrence or existence of any
pending corporate development that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company, makes such suspension necessary.

          If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition
of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company
shall extend the period during which the Registration Statement shall be
maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the
period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including
the date when the Holders shall have received copies of the supplemented or
amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions. The Company may give
any such notice only twice during any 365-day period and any such suspensions
shall not exceed 45 days for each suspension and there shall not be more than
two suspensions in effect during any 365-day period.

          The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration
Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an
Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker
or investment bankers and manager or managers (the "Underwriters") that will
administer the offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the
Registrable Securities included in such offering.

          4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff of
the SEC has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Discount
Exchange Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for
Discount Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making or other trading activities (a "Participating Broker-Dealer") may
be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resale of such Discount Exchange Securities.

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

          (b) In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Agreement, the Company agrees to amend or supplement the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be
contemplated by Section 3(i), for a period of up to 180 days after the last
Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to the penultimate
paragraph of Section 3 of this Agreement), if requested by the Initial
Purchasers or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in order to expedite
or facilitate the disposition of any Discount Exchange Securities by
Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited
in Section 4(a) above. The Company further agrees that Participating
Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus during such period
in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4.

          (c) The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company or
any Holder with respect to any request that they may make pursuant to Section
4(b) above.

          5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their
respective affiliates, directors and officers and each Person, if any, who
controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit,
action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are
incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement or any Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to
state therein 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, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or any Holder
furnished to the Company in writing through J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or any
selling Holder expressly for use therein; provided, that with respect to any
such untrue statement in or omission from any preliminary prospectus, the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(a) shall not inure to the
benefit of any Initial Purchaser or any Holder from whom the person asserting
any such loss, claim, damage or liability received Discount Notes or Discount
Exchange Securities to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
of or with respect to such Initial Purchaser or Holder results from the fact
that both (i) a copy of the final prospectus was not sent or given to such

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Discount
Notes or Discount Exchange Securities to such person and (ii) the untrue
statement in or omission from the related preliminary prospectus was corrected
in the final prospectus unless, in either case, such failure to deliver the
final prospectus was a result of non-compliance by the Company with the
provisions of Section 3. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted
by Section 3, the Company will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling
brokers, dealers and similar securities industry professionals participating in
the distribution, their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such
Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the
same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the
Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement.

          (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders,
their respective affiliates, the directors of the Company, each officer of the
Company who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who
controls the Company, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but
only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out
of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any
information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such
Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus.

          (c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against
any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either
paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the "Indemnified Person") shall
promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the
"Indemnifying Person") in writing; provided that the failure to notify the
Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have
under this Section 5 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced
(through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and
provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person
otherwise than under this Section 5. If any such proceeding shall be brought or
asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the
Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified
Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5
that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In
any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its
own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the
Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood and agreed that the Indemnifying

                                      -14-

<PAGE>

Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the
same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified
Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are
incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates,
directors and officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser shall
be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., (y) for any Holder, its
affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of such Holder shall
be designated in writing by the Majority Holders and (z) in all other cases
shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not
be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified
Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified
Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the
Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this
paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such
request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the
Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the
Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a
party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified
Person.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b)
above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company from the offering of the Discount Notes and the
Discount Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving
Discount Notes or Discount Exchange Securities registered under the Securities
Act, on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault
of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other in connection with
the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holders on the other shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holders
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

                                      -15-

<PAGE>

          (e) The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or
by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by
an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities
referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such
Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Discount Notes or Discount Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds
the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

          (f) The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any
Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

          (g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this
Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)
any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder, their respective affiliates or any
Person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of
the Company, its affiliates or the officers or directors of or any Person
controlling the Company, (iii) acceptance of any of the Discount Exchange
Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement.

          6. General.

          (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents, warrants and
agrees that (i) the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way
conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of
any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the Company under any
other agreement and (ii) the Company has not entered into, and on or after the
date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent
with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this
Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

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

                                      -16-

<PAGE>

modifications, supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b)
shall be by a writing executed by each of the parties hereto.

          (c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered
first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial
Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the
Company, initially at the Company's address set forth in the Purchase Agreement
and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other Persons at
their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter
at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices and communications shall be
deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally
delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage
prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is
acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered to
an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. Copies of all such notices,
demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person
giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.

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

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

          (f) Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party
beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to
enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement
necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders
hereunder.

          (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.

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

          (i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

          (j) Miscellaneous. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. If any term, provision,
covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public
policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions
contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated. The Company and the Initial Purchasers shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, void or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, void or unenforceable
provisions.

                                      -18-
