Holders, at the Company’s cost, (i) prepare and file with the SEC as soon
as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 120 calendar

calendar days after the Closing Date, (iii) provided such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act by
the SEC, use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer

and (iv) provided such Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared
effective under the Securities Act by the SEC, commence the Exchange Offer and
keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 business days, or longer if
required by applicable law, after the date on which such Registration Statement

Period”), use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be
completed not later than 45 calendar days after the date on which such
Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, and at the
termination thereof issue Exchange Notes in exchange for all Registrable Notes
tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer.

 

In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company
shall:

 

(i)            mail to
each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and

of business, New York City time, on the last Business Day of the Exchange
Period, by sending to the institution specified in the notice to Holders, a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such
Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Notes delivered for exchange, and a

Offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest but will not
retain any rights under this Agreement (except in the case of the Initial
Purchasers and Participating Broker-Dealers as provided herein); and

 

(v)           otherwise
comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations
relating to the Exchange Offer.

 

5

 

As soon as practicable after the completion of the
Exchange Offer, the Company shall:

 

(i)            accept
for exchange all Registrable Notes or portions thereof duly tendered and not
validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer in accordance with the terms
of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and letter of transmittal;

 

(ii)           deliver,
or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes
or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company; and

 

(iii)          issue,
and cause the Trustee under the Indenture to promptly authenticate and deliver
to each Holder, Exchange Notes equal in principal amount to the principal
amount of the Notes as are surrendered by such Holder.

 

Interest on each Exchange Note issued pursuant to the
Exchange Offer will accrue from the last date on which interest was paid or
duly provided for on the Note surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no
interest has been paid on such Note, from the date of original issue of such
Note. To the extent not prohibited by any judicial order, judgment, law,
regulation or applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC, the Company
shall use its reasonable best 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 the conditions referred to in Section 2(b)(i) and
(ii) below and those conditions that are customary in similar exchange offers,
except as may be required by applicable law. Each Holder of Registrable Notes
who wishes to exchange such Registrable Notes for Exchange Notes in the
Exchange Offer will be required, as a condition to participating in the
Exchange Offer, to make certain customary representations in connection therewith,
including, in the case of any Holder, representations that (i) it is not an
Affiliate of the Company, (ii) it is not a broker-dealer tendering Registrable Notes
acquired directly from the Company for its own account, (iii) the Notes being
exchanged, and the Exchange Notes to be received, by it have been or are being
acquired in the ordinary course of its business and (iv) at the time of the
Exchange Offer, it has no arrangements or understandings with any Person to
participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of
the Exchange Notes. The Company shall inform the Initial Purchasers, after
consultation with the Trustee, of the names and addresses of the Holders to
whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the
right to contact such Holders in order to facilitate the tender of Registrable Notes
in the Exchange Offer.

 

Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance
with this Section 2(a), the provisions of this
Agreement shall continue to apply, mutatis mutandis,
solely with respect to Notes or Exchange Notes held by Initial Purchasers and
Participating Broker-Dealers, and the Company shall have no further obligation
to register the Registrable Notes held by any other Holder pursuant to
Section 2(b) of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Shelf
Registration.  If (i) because
of any change in law, regulation or in currently prevailing interpretations
thereof by the staff of the SEC, the Company is not permitted to effect the
Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section 2(a) hereof, (ii) the Exchange Offer
is not 

 

6

 

consummated within 210
calendar days after the Closing Date or (iii) any Holder of Registrable Notes
that is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act) shall notify the Company prior to the 20th calendar day
following the consummation of the Exchange Offer (A) that such Holder was
prohibited by applicable law or SEC policy from participating in the Exchange
Offer, or (B) that such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it
in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that
the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not
appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder, or (C) that such
Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer and holds Notes acquired directly from
the Company or one of its Affiliates (any of the events specified in (i), (ii)
or (iii) being a “Shelf Registration Event”, and the date of occurrence
thereof, the “Shelf Registration Event Date”), then in addition to or in lieu
of conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 2(a) of this
Agreement, as the case may be, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders in
writing thereof and shall, at its cost, file with the SEC as promptly as
practicable after such Shelf Registration Event Date and, in any event, within 45
calendar days after such Shelf Registration Event Date, or, if later, the 120th
calendar day after the Closing Date, a Shelf Registration Statement providing
for the sale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Notes (other than
Registrable Notes owned by Holders who have elected not to include such
Registrable Notes in such Shelf Registration Statement or who have not complied
with their obligations under the penultimate paragraph of Section 3 hereof or
under this paragraph), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as
practicable and in any event, on or before the 120th calendar day after the
Shelf Registration Event Date or, if later, the 210th calendar day after the
Closing Date. No Holder of Registrable Notes shall be entitled to include any
of its Registrable Notes in any Shelf Registration pursuant to this Agreement
unless and until such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all of the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder and furnishes to the Company
in writing, within 15 calendar days after receipt of a request therefor, such
information as the Company may, after conferring with counsel with regard to
information relating to Holders that would be required by the SEC to be
included in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein,
reasonably request for inclusion in any Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration is
being effected agrees to furnish to the Company, without request and as soon as
practicable, all information with respect to such Holder necessary to make the
information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially
misleading.

 

The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts
to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and the
Prospectus usable for resales for the earlier of: (x) the expiration of the
Rule 144(k) Period and (y) such time as all of the Notes covered by the Shelf
Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement or cease to be Registrable Notes (the period from the effective date
of the Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of the events described
in clauses (x) and (y) being the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall not
permit any securities other than Registrable Notes to be included in the Shelf
Registration. The Company will, in the event a Shelf Registration Statement is
declared effective, provide to each Holder of Registrable Notes covered
thereby, a reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus which is a part of the
Shelf Registration Statement, notify each such Holder when the Shelf
Registration has become effective and take any other action required to permit
unrestricted resales of the Registrable Notes. The Company further agrees to
supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the rules,

 

7

 

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 registrations, and the Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of
Registrable Notes covered by such Shelf Registration Statement copies of any
such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the
SEC.

 

(c)           Expenses.  The Company
shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) and/or 2(b) hereof and will reimburse
the Initial Purchasers for the reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by the
firm of legal counsel in connection with the Exchange Offer. Except as provided
herein, each Holder shall pay all expenses of its counsel, underwriting
discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or
disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Notes pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement.

 

(d)           Effective Registration Statement. 
An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section
2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof
will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared
effective by the SEC; provided, however,
that if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Notes
pursuant to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration
Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or
requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Exchange
Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement will be deemed not
to have been effective during the period of such interference, until the
offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to such Registration Statement may
legally resume. The Company will be deemed not to have used its reasonable best
efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become, or to remain, effective
during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would
result in any such Registration Statement not being declared effective or that
would result in the otherwise eligible Holders of Registrable Notes covered
thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell such Registrable Notes
during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law or
regulation or otherwise permitted by provisions of this Agreement.

 

(e)           Additional Interest.  In
the event that:

 

(i)            the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to
the 120th calendar day after the Closing Date, then, commencing on the 121st
calendar day after the Closing Date, additional interest (the “Additional
Interest”) shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes over and above the
otherwise applicable interest rate at a rate of 0.25% per annum, plus an
additional 0.25% per annum from and during any period in which such event has
continued for more than 90 calendar days;

 

(ii)           the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on
or prior to the 180th calendar day after the Closing Date, then, commencing on
the 181st calendar day after the Closing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue
on the principal amount of the Notes over and above the otherwise applicable
interest rate at a rate of 0.25% per annum, plus an additional 0.25% per annum
from and during any period in which such event has continued for more than 90

Closing Date, then, commencing on the 211th calendar day after the Closing
Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes

the Prospectus contained in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement ceases
to be usable for its intended purpose (A) at any time prior to the expiration
of the Applicable Period or (B) if related to corporate developments, public
filings with the SEC or similar events or because the Prospectus contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not
misleading, and such failure continues for more than 45 days (whether or not
consecutive and whether or not arising out of a single or multiple
circumstances) in any twelve-month period, Additional Interest shall accrue on
the principal amount of the Notes over and above the otherwise applicable
interest rate at a rate of 0.25% per annum commencing on the day that (in the
case of (A) above), or the 46th (cumulative) day after (in the case of (B)
above), such Exchange Offer Registration Statement ceases to be effective or
the Prospectus ceases to be usable for its intended purposes, plus an
additional 0.25% per annum from and during any period in which such event has
continued for more than 90 calendar days; or

 

(v)           the Shelf

effective or the Prospectus ceases to be usable for resales, plus an additional
0.25% per annum from and during any period in which such event has continued
for more than 90 calendar days;

 

provided, however, that the
aggregate amount of Additional Interest in respect of the Notes may not exceed
0.50% per annum (regardless of whether multiple events triggering Additional
Interest under this subsection (e) exist); provided, further,
however, that (1) upon the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement (in the case of clause (i) 

 

9

 

above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement (in the case of clause (ii) above), (3) upon the
exchange of Exchange Notes for all Notes validly tendered (in the case of
clause (iii)(A) above) or upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement (in the case of clause (iii)(B) above), (4) upon the earlier of (x)
such time as the Exchange Offer Registration Statement which had ceased to
remain effective or the Prospectus which had ceased to be usable for its

provided, further, however, that
if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective by the
SEC on or prior to the 180th calendar day after the Closing Date and the Company
shall request Holders to provide the information required by the SEC for
inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, the Notes owned by Holders who
do not provide such information when required pursuant to Section 2(b) of this
Agreement will not be entitled to any Additional Interest for any day after the
180th calendar day after the Closing Date, regardless of the existence of any
events which would otherwise trigger a Additional Interest under this
subsection (e) for such Holders.

 

Any Additional Interest
due pursuant to Section 2(e)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above will be payable
in cash on the next succeeding June 15 or December 15, as the case may be, to
eligible Holders (as determined under this subsection (e)) on the relevant
record dates for the payment of interest pursuant to the Indenture.

 

(f)            Specific Enforcement.  Without
limiting the remedies available to 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 Holders
for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it would not be possible to
measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such
failure, any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically
enforce the Company’s obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

 

3.             Registration Procedures.  In

which form shall (i) be selected by the Company, (ii) in the case of a Shelf
Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable Notes by the selling
Holders thereof and, in the case of an Exchange Offer, be available for the
exchange of Registrable Notes, and (iii) comply as to form in all 

 

10

 

material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and
include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith; and
use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective and remain effective (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration
Statement, the Prospectus to be usable for resales) in accordance with Section
2 hereof; provided, however, that if (1) such
filing is pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement, or (2) a Prospectus
contained in an Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section
2(a) of this Agreement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by
any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes, before filing
any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto, the Company shall furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable
Notes and each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, covered by
such Registration Statement, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if
any, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including,
upon request, copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein
and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed; and the Company shall not file
any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto in respect of which the Holders must be afforded an opportunity to
review prior to the filing of such document if the Majority Holders of the
Registrable Notes, depending solely upon which Holders must be afforded the
opportunity of such review, or such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case
may be, their counsel or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably
object in a timely manner;

 

(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 Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case
may be, and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented, if so determined by the Company
or requested by the SEC, by any required prospectus supplement and as so
supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provision then in
force) under the Securities Act, and comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all Notes
covered by each Registration Statement during the Effectiveness Period or the
Applicable Period, as the case may be, in accordance with the intended method
or methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof described in this
Agreement (including sales by any Participating Broker-Dealer);

 

(c)           in
the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement, if in the reasonable
opinion of counsel to the Company there is a question as to whether the
Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, seek a no-action letter or other
favorable decision from the SEC allowing the Company to consummate an Exchange
Offer for such Notes. The Company hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such
a decision to the SEC staff level but shall not be required to take
commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of SEC policy. The Company
hereby agrees, however, to (i) participate in telephonic conferences with the
SEC, (ii) deliver to the SEC staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company
setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded
that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (iii) diligently pursue a
resolution (which need not be favorable) by the SEC staff of such submission;

 

(d)           in
the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement, prior to the
effectiveness of such statement, provide a supplemental letter to the SEC (i)
stating that the Company is registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the
position of the SEC enunciated in 

 

11

 

Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13,
1988), Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991), Brown
& Wood LLP (available February 7, 1997) and, if applicable, any
no-action letter obtained pursuant to Section 3(c) of this Agreement and (ii)
including a representation that the Company has not entered into any
arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the Exchange Notes
to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company’s
information and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is
acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no
arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution
of the Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer;

 

(e)           in
the case of a Shelf Registration, (i) notify each Holder of Registrable Notes
included in the Shelf Registration Statement, at least five Business Days prior
to filing, that a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Notes
is being filed and advising such Holder that the distribution of Registrable Notes
will be made in accordance with the method selected by the Majority Holders of
the Registrable Notes, (ii) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Notes
included in the Shelf Registration Statement and to each underwriter of an
underwritten offering of Registrable Notes, if any, without charge, as many
copies of each Prospectus, including each preliminary prospectus, and any
amendment or supplement thereto, and such other documents as such Holder or
underwriter may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or
other disposition of the Registrable Notes and (iii) consent to the use of the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders
of Registrable Notes included in the Shelf Registration Statement in connection
with the offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by the Prospectus

(f)            in
the case of a Shelf Registration, register or qualify the Registrable Notes
under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions
by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the
SEC as any Holder of Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement and
each underwriter of an underwritten offering of Registrable Notes shall
reasonably request in writing in advance of such date of effectiveness, and do
any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable such Holder and underwriter to consummate the disposition
in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Notes owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
(i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 3(f), (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any
jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be subject to such service of process
or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not then
so subject;

 

(g)           (1)
in the case of a Shelf Registration or (2) if Participating Broker-Dealers
from whom the Company has received prior written notice that they will be using
the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement as
provided in Section 3(u) hereof, are seeking to sell Exchange Notes and are
required to deliver Prospectuses, promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Notes,
or such Participating Broker-Dealers, as the case may be, their counsel and the
managing underwriters, if any, and promptly confirm such notice in writing (i)
when a Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective
amendments thereto become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any
state 

 

12

 

securities authority for amendments and supplements to a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration

proceedings for that purpose, (iv) in the case of a Shelf Registration, if,
between the effective date of a Registration Statement and the closing of any
sale of Registrable Notes covered thereby, the representations and warranties
of the Company contained in any purchase agreement, securities sales agreement
or other similar agreement cease to be true, correct and complete in all
material respects, (v) of the happening of any event or the failure of any
event to occur or the discovery of any facts, during the Effectiveness Period,
which makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or the related
Prospectus untrue in any material respect or which causes such Registration
Statement or Prospectus to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, as well as any other corporate developments, public
filings with the SEC or similar events causing such Registration Statement not
to be effective or the Prospectus not to be useable for resales and
(vi) of the reasonable determination of the Company that a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate;

 

(h)           obtain
the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement as soon as practicable;

 

(i)            in
the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Notes
included within the coverage of such Shelf Registration Statement, without
charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement relating to
such Shelf Registration and any post-effective amendment thereto (without
documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless
requested);

 

(j)            in
the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the selling Holders of
Registrable Notes to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Notes to be sold and not bearing any restrictive

(consistent with the provisions of the Indenture and the officer’s certificate
establishing the forms and the terms of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture)
and registered in such names as the selling Holders or the underwriters may
reasonably request (provided such names are consistent with the names of the
selling security holders set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement) at
least two Business Days prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Notes
pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement;

 

(k)           in
the case of a Shelf Registration or an Exchange Offer Registration, promptly
after the occurrence of any event specified in Section 3(g)(ii), 3(g)(iii),
3(g)(v) (subject to the 45-day cumulative grace period within any twelve-month
period provided for in Section 2(e)(iv)(B) and Section 2(e)(v)(B)) and 3(g)(vi)
hereof, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to such 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 the purchasers of the Registrable Notes, such Prospectus will not include 

 

13

 

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 each Holder to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as practicable
after the occurrence of such an event, and each Holder hereby agrees to suspend
use of the Prospectus until the Company has amended or supplemented the
Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission;

 

(l)            obtain
a CUSIP number, and any other appropriate security identification number, for

the effective date of a Registration Statement, and provide the Trustee with
certificates for the Exchange Notes or the Registrable Notes, as the case may
be, in a form eligible for deposit with the Depositary;

 

(m)          cause
the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(the “TIA”), in connection with the registration of the Exchange Notes or
Registrable Notes, as the case may be, and effect such changes to such
documents as may be required for them to be so qualified in accordance with the
terms of the TIA and execute, and 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 such documents to be so qualified
in a timely manner;

 

(n)           in
the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such agreements (including
underwriting agreements) as are customary in underwritten offerings and take
all such other appropriate actions in connection therewith as are reasonably
requested by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Notes in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the
disposition of the Registrable Notes;

 

(o)           in
the case of a Shelf Registration, whether or not an underwriting agreement is
entered into and whether or not the registration is an underwritten
registration, if requested by (x) an Initial Purchaser, in the case where such
Initial Purchaser holds Notes acquired by it as part of its initial placement,
or (y) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable
Notes covered thereby: (i) make such representations and warranties to
Holders of such Registrable Notes and the underwriters (if any), with respect
to the business of the Company as then conducted and the Registration
Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference therein, in each case, 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 and updates
thereof (which may be in the form of a reliance letter) in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters (if any) and the Holders
of a majority in amount of the Registrable Notes being sold, addressed to each
selling Holder and the underwriters (if any) covering the matters customarily
covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters
as may be reasonably requested by such underwriters (it being agreed that the
matters to be covered by such opinion may be subject to customary
qualifications and exceptions); (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters and
updates thereof in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing
underwriters from the independent registered public accountants of the Company,

14

 

offerings and such other matters as reasonably requested by such
underwriters in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72; and
(iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain
indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set
forth in Section 4 hereof (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable
to Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Notes
covered by such Registration Statement and the managing underwriters) customary
for such agreements with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to
said Section (including, without limitation, such underwriters and selling
Holders); and in the case of an underwritten registration, the above
requirements shall be satisfied at each closing under the related underwriting
agreement or as and to the extent required thereunder;

 

(p)           if
(1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 2(b) or (2) a

Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the
Applicable Period, make reasonably available for inspection by any selling

agent retained by any such selling Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer, as the
case may be, or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), at the offices
where normally kept, during the Company’s normal business hours, all financial
and other records, pertinent organizational and operational documents and
properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably
necessary to enable them to conduct due diligence activities, and cause the

information in each case reasonably requested by any such Inspector in
connection with such Registration Statement; Records and information which the Company
determines, in good faith, to be confidential and any Records and information
which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed to any
Inspector except where (i) the disclosure of such Records or information
is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in such

transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such is made
generally available to the public through no fault of an Inspector or a selling
Holder; and each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each such
Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further agree in writing that
it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records or information is sought
in a court of competent jurisdiction, or in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding, give notice to the Company and allow the Company at its expense to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records and information
deemed confidential;

 

(q)           comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC so long as any provision
of this Agreement shall be applicable and make generally available to its
security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Securities 

 

15

 

Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the
Securities Act) no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or
90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year)
(i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Notes
are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten
offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering,
commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after
the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover
said 12-month periods, provided that
the obligations under this paragraph (q) shall be satisfied by the timely
filing of quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K under the
Exchange Act;

 

(r)            if
an Exchange Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable Notes
by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company),
in exchange for the Exchange Notes, the Company shall mark, or cause to be
marked, on such Notes delivered by such Holders that such Notes are being
cancelled in exchange for the Exchange Notes; it being understood that in no
event shall such Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied;

 

(s)           cooperate
with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement and
each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Notes
and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made
with the NASD;

 

(t)            take
all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration of the
Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby;

 

(u)           (A)  in
the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (i) include in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution,”
which section shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers or
another representative of the Participating Broker-Dealers, and which shall
contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the
staff of the SEC with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any
broker-dealer that holds Registrable Notes acquired for its own account as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities (a “Participating
Broker-Dealer”) and that will be the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Notes to be received by such broker-dealer
in the Exchange Offer, whether such positions or policies have been publicly
disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies, in the
reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers or such other representative,
represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC, including a statement
that any such broker-dealer who receives Exchange Notes for Registrable Notes
pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be deemed a statutory underwriter and must
deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes, (ii) furnish to each
Participating Broker-Dealer who has delivered to the Company the notice
referred to in Section 3(g) of this Agreement, without charge, as many copies
of each Prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
including any preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto,
as such Participating Broker-Dealer may reasonably request (the Company hereby
consents to the use of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Person
subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act,
including all Participating Broker-Dealers, in 

 

16

 

connection with the sale or transfer of the Exchange Notes covered by
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto), (iii) use its reasonable
best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to
amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein in order to permit such
Prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such
Persons must comply with such requirements under the Securities Act and
applicable rules and regulations in order to resell the Exchange Notes; provided, however, that such period shall not be required to
exceed one year following the completion of the Exchange Offer (or such longer
period if extended pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3 hereof) (the “Applicable
Period”), and (iv) include in the transmittal letter or similar documentation
to be executed by an exchange offeree in order to participate in the Exchange
Offer (x) the following provision:

 

“If the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding
Registrable Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities, it will deliver a prospectus meeting
the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of
Exchange Notes received in respect of such Registrable Notes pursuant to the
Exchange Offer”;

 

and (y) a statement to
the effect that by a Participating Broker-Dealer making the acknowledgment
described in clause (x) and by delivering a Prospectus in connection with the
exchange of Registrable Notes, the Participating Broker-Dealer will not be
deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act; and (B) in the case of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company
agrees to deliver to the Initial Purchasers or to another representative of the
Participating Broker-Dealers, if reasonably requested by an Initial Purchaser
or such other representative of Participating Broker-Dealers, on behalf of the
Participating Broker-Dealers upon consummation of the Exchange Offer (i) an
opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
Initial Purchaser or such other representative of the Participating
Broker-Dealers, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested
in connection with Exchange Offer Registration Statements and such other
matters as may be reasonably requested (it being agreed that the matters to be
covered by such opinion may be subject to customary qualifications and
exceptions), (ii) an officer’s certificate substantially similar to that
specified in Section 6(e) of the Purchase Agreement and such additional
certifications as are customarily delivered in a public offering of debt and
(iii) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
comfort letters, in each case, in customary form if permitted by Statement on
Auditing Standards No. 72.

 

The Company may require each seller of Registrable Notes
as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such
information regarding such seller as may be required by the staff of the SEC to
be included in a Registration Statement. The Company may exclude from such
registration the Registrable Notes of any seller who fails to furnish such
information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. The Company
shall have no obligation to register under the Securities Act the Registrable Notes
of a seller who so fails to furnish such information.

 

In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, or if
Participating Broker-Dealers who have notified the Company that they will be
using the Prospectus contained in the Exchange 

 

17

 

Offer Registration Statement as provided in this
Section 3(u) are seeking to sell Exchange Notes and are required to deliver
Prospectuses, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company
of the occurrence of any event specified in Section 3(g)(ii), 3(g)(iii),
3(g)(v) or 3(g)(vi) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by
Section 3(k) hereof or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company
that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, if so directed
by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s
expense) all copies in such Holder’s possession, other than permanent file
copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such
Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, current at the time of
receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend
the disposition of Registrable Notes or Exchangeable Notes, as the case may be,
pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to file and have declared effective (if an amendment), as soon as
practicable after the resolution of the related matters, an amendment or
supplement to the Registration Statement and shall extend the period during
which such Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective and
the Prospectus usable for resales pursuant to this Agreement by the number of
days in the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to
and including the date when the Company shall have made available to the
Holders (x) copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to
resume such dispositions or (y) the Advice.

 

4.             Indemnification and Contribution. 
(a)  In connection with
a Shelf Registration Statement or in connection with any delivery of a
Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer Registration Statement by any Participating
Broker-Dealer or Initial Purchaser, as applicable, who seeks to sell Exchange Notes,
the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder of
Registrable Notes included within any such Shelf Registration Statement and
each Participating Broker-Dealer or Initial Purchaser selling Exchange Notes,
underwriters, their officers and employees, and each Person, if any, who
controls any such Person 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 or liabilities, joint or several, to which that Holder, Participating
Broker-Dealer, Initial Purchaser, underwriter, officer, employee or controlling
person may become subject, under the Securities Act or any other statute or
common law and shall reimburse each Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer,
Initial Purchaser, underwriter, officer, employee or controlling person for any
legal or other expenses (including to the extent hereinafter provided,
reasonable counsel fees) incurred by that Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer,
Initial Purchaser, underwriter, officer, employee or controlling person in
connection with investigating any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
in connection with defending any action, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of, or are based upon, (A) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), covering Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes,
as applicable, (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in any
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (C) any
act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Holder,
Participating Broker-Dealer, Initial Purchaser, underwriter, officer, employee
or controlling person in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Notes
or the transactions contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or 

 

18

 

referred to in any loss,
claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon matters covered
by clause (A) or (B) above (provided that the Company shall not be liable under
this clause (C) to the extent that it is determined in a final judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action resulted directly from any acts or failures to act under taken or
omitted to be taken such by such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer, Initial
Purchaser or underwriter through its gross negligence or willful misconduct); provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply to any
loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action arising out of (i) an untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished in writing to the Company
by the Initial Purchasers or any Holder, underwriter or Participating Broker-Dealer
for use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (ii) the failure of any
Holder to comply with the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 3 of this
Agreement; provided, further, however, that no
indemnity by the Company to any Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer, Initial
Purchaser, underwriter, officer, employee or controlling person shall apply in
respect of any final Prospectus furnished by such person to a person who
receives the Exchange Notes or the Registrable Notes, insofar as such indemnity
relates to any untrue or misleading statement or omission made in such final
Prospectus but eliminated or remedied prior to the confirmation of the sale of
such Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes in any amendment or supplement
thereto, unless a copy of such amendment or supplement (excluding any documents
incorporated by reference in such final Prospectus) is furnished by such person
on or before the confirmation of such sale.

 

(b)           Each
of the Initial Purchasers and each Holder, underwriter or Participating
Broker-Dealer agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, its officers and employees, and each Person, if any, who controls
the Company 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 or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company, its officers, employees or
controlling persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or any other
statute or common law, and shall reimburse the Company and any such officer,
employee or controlling person for any legal or other expenses (including, to
the extent hereinafter provided, reasonable counsel fees) incurred by them in
connection with investigating any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
in connection with defending any action insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, expenses or actions arise out of, or are based upon, (A) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), covering Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes,
as applicable, or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in any
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each
case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information concerning such Initial Purchaser, Holder, underwriter or
Participating Broker-Dealer specifically for inclusion therein; provided, however, that in the case of a Shelf Registration
Statement, no such Holder shall be liable for any claims hereunder in excess of
the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable
Notes pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

 

19

 

(c)           In case any
action shall be brought against any party in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to any of the preceding paragraphs, such party (hereinafter
called the indemnified party) shall promptly notify the party or parties
against whom indemnity shall be sought hereunder (hereinafter called the
indemnifying party) in writing, and the indemnifying party shall have the right
to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume
(in conjunction with any other indemnifying party) the defense thereof,
including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party and the payment of all fees and expenses. If the indemnifying party shall
elect not to assume the defense of any such action, the indemnifying party
shall reimburse the indemnified party for the reasonable fees and expenses of
any counsel retained by such indemnified party. Such indemnified party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action in which the
defense has been assumed by the indemnifying party and participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel has been
specifically authorized by the indemnifying party or (ii) the named parties to
any such action (including any impleaded parties) include each of such
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and such indemnified party shall
have been advised by such counsel that a conflict of interest between the
indemnifying party and such indemnified party may arise and for this reason it
is not desirable for the same counsel to represent both the indemnifying party
and the indemnified party (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying
party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for such
indemnified party (plus any local counsel retained by such indemnified party in
its reasonable judgment)). The indemnified party shall be reimbursed for all
such fees and expenses as they are incurred. The indemnifying party shall not
be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its consent,
but if any such action is settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or
if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party
from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action, suit or
proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity has or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such action, suit or proceeding.

 

(d)           If
the indemnification provided for under this Section 4 is unavailable to an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company from the initial offering and sale of the Notes, on the
one hand, and by a Holder from receiving Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes
registered under the Securities Act, on the other, or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and such Holder on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as
well as any other 

 

20

 

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 any of the Initial Purchasers and
such parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable to an indemnified party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, an indemnifying
party that is a Holder of Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes shall not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes sold by such
indemnifying party to any purchaser exceeds the amount of any damages which
such indemnifying party has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of
any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The
Holders’ obligations in this Section 4 to contribute shall be several in
proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Notes and Exchange Notes
registered for them and not joint. 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. For purposes of this Section 4, each
Affiliate of a Holder, and each director, officer and employee and Person, if
any, who controls a Holder or such Affiliate within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall
have the same rights to contribution as such Holder and each Person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company .

 

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

 

6.             Selection of Underwriters.  The
Holders of Registrable Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who
desire to do so may sell the Notes covered by such Shelf Registration in an
underwritten offering, subject to the provisions of Section 3(n) hereof. In any
such underwritten offering, the underwriter or underwriters and manager or
managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Notes included in such offering; provided,
however, that such underwriters and managers must be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company.

 

21

 

7.             Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Rule 144 and Rule 144A.  For
so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13
or 15 of the Exchange Act and any Registrable Notes remain outstanding, the Company
will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
adopted by the SEC thereunder; provided, however,
that if the Company ceases to be so required to file such reports, it will,
upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Notes, (a) make publicly
available such information as is necessary to permit sales of its securities
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (b) deliver such information to
a prospective purchaser as is necessary to permit sales of its securities
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and (c) take such further
action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in each case, to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable Notes
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may
be amended from time to time, (ii) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such
rule may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rules or
regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of
Registrable Notes, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement
as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

(b)           No Inconsistent Agreements.  The
Company has not entered into, nor will the Company on or after the date of this
Agreement enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Holders of Registrable Notes in this Agreement or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof without the written consent of Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Notes. The
rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are
not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s other
issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

 

(c)           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 a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Registrable Notes affected by such amendment, modification,
supplement, waiver or departure; provided that
no amendment, modification or supplement or waiver or consent to the departure
with respect to the provisions of Section 4 hereof shall be effective as
against any Holder of Registrable Notes unless consented to in writing by such
Holder of Registrable Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (i) this
Agreement may be amended, without the consent of any Holder of Registrable Notes,
by written agreement signed by the Company and the Initial Purchasers, to cure
any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision of this Agreement that may
be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement or to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement
which shall not be inconsistent with other provisions of this Agreement, (ii)
this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers and
consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given, by written
agreement signed by the Company and the Initial Purchasers to the extent that
any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent is, in their
reasonable judgment, necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law and
regulation (including any interpretation of the staff of the SEC) or any change
therein and (iii) to the extent 

 

22

 

any provision of this
Agreement relates to an Initial Purchaser, such provision may be amended,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from such
provisions may be given, by written agreement signed by such Initial Purchaser
and the Company.

 

(d)           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

given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(d), which address

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.

 

(e)           Successors and Assigns.  This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors,
assigns and transferees of the Initial Purchasers, including, without
limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to
permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Notes in
violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any
transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Notes in any manner, 

 

23

 

whether by operation of
law or otherwise, such Registrable Notes shall be held subject to all of the
terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Notes, such
Person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to
perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such Person shall
be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

 

(f)            Third Party Beneficiaries.  Each
Holder and any Participating Broker-Dealer shall be third party beneficiaries
of the agreements made hereunder among the Initial Purchasers and the Company,
and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right to enforce such agreements
directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to
protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

 

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

 

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

 

(i)            GOVERNING LAW.  THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE
VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET
FORTH HEREIN, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(j)            Severability.  In the
event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the
application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision
in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall
not be affected or impaired thereby.

 

(k)           Notes Held by the Company or its Affiliates.  Whenever the consent or approval
of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Notes is required
hereunder, Registrable Notes held by the Company or its Affiliates shall not be
counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the
Holders of such required percentage.

 

(l)            Entire Agreement.  This
Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Company
and each of the Initial Purchaser relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among the parties hereto with respect to this subject matter.
