the events set forth in Section 4(a)(ii) has occurred the Issuing Parties shall
(i) cause to be filed with the Commission promptly after the Closing Date, but

                  (a) pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C)
cause all necessary filings in connection with the registration and
qualification of the Exchange Securities to be made under the Blue Sky laws of
such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange
Offer, and (iv) unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable
law or Commission policy, the Issuing Parties will commence the Exchange Offer
and use their best efforts to issue on or prior to 30 business days after the
date on which such Registration Statement was declared effective by the
Commission, Exchange Securities in exchange for all Transfer Restricted
Securities and Original Notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer. The
Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the
Exchange Securities to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted
Securities and Original Notes and to permit resales of Exchange Securities held
by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) below. The 150, 210 and 30
business day periods referred to in (i), (ii) and (iv) of this Section 3(a)
shall not include any period during which the Issuing Parties are pursuing a
Commission ruling pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) below.

                  (b) The Issuing Parties shall use their best efforts to cause
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously and shall
keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period
required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the
Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less
than 20 business days. The Issuing Parties shall cause the Exchange Offer to
comply in all material respects with all applicable federal and state securities
laws. No securities other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Each of the Issuing Parties shall use its
best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest
practicable date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become
effective, but in no event later than 30 business days thereafter.

                  (c) The Issuing Parties shall indicate in a "Plan of
Distribution" section contained in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Securities that
are Transfer Restricted Securities or Original Notes and that were acquired for
its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities (other than Transfer Restricted Securities or Original Notes acquired
directly from the Issuing Parties), may exchange such Securities pursuant to the
Exchange Offer; however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter"
within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resales of the Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the
Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the
delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement. Such "Plan of Distribution" section shall also contain
all other information with respect to such resales by Broker-Dealers that the
Commission may require in order to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but
such "Plan of Distribution" shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose
the amount of Exchange Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer except to the
extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy announced
after the date of this Agreement.

                  The Issuing Parties shall use their best efforts to keep the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and
amended as required by the

                                       7

provisions of Section 6(c) below to the extent necessary to ensure that it is
available for resales of Exchange Securities acquired by Broker-Dealers for
their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this
Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the
Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days from the
date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective.

                  The Issuing Parties shall provide sufficient copies of the
latest version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any
time during such 180-day period in order to facilitate such resales.

               4. Shelf Registration (a) (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the
                                             ------------------
Issuing Parties are not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not
permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth
in Section 6(a) below have been complied with) or (ii) if any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities that is a "qualified institutional buyer" (as defined in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act) shall notify the Issuing Parties prior to
the 20th day following the Consummation of the Exchange Offer (A) that such
Holder is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating
in the Exchange Offer, or (B) that such Holder may not resell the Exchange
Securities 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 Broker-Dealer and holds Securities acquired
directly from an Issuing Party or one of its Affiliates, then the Issuing
Parties shall in lieu of, or in the event of (ii) above, in addition to
effecting the registration of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, use their best efforts to:

                        (x) cause to be filed a shelf registration statement
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the "Shelf Registration
                                                             ------------------
Statement"), on or prior to the earlier to occur of (1) the 60th day after the

date on which the Issuing Parties determine that they are not required to file

which the Issuing Parties receive notice from a Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities as contemplated by clause (ii) above (such earlier date being the
"Shelf Filing Deadline"), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for

provided the information required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and

                        (y) cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be
declared effective by the Commission on or before the 120th day after the Shelf
Filing Deadline.

The Issuing Parties shall use their best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration
Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the
provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure
that it is available for resales of Securities by the Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to
ensure

that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and
the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to
time, for a period ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

                        (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in
                            ----------------------------------------------
Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer
------------------------------------------------
Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in
any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until
such Holder furnishes to the Issuing Parties in writing, within 20 business days
after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Issuing Parties may
reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement
or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. No Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities shall be entitled to Liquidated Damages pursuant to
Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have used its best efforts
to provide all such reasonably requested information. Each Holder as to which
any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to
the Issuing Parties all information required to be disclosed in order to make
the information previously furnished to the Issuing Parties by such Holder not
materially misleading.

               5. Liquidated Damages (a) (a) If any of the Registration
Statements required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or
prior to the date specified for such filing in this Agreement, (b) any of such
Registration Statements has not been declared effective by the Commission on or
prior to the date specified for such effectiveness in this Agreement (the
"Effectiveness Target Date"), (c) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated
 -------------------------
within 30 business days after the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (d) any Registration Statement required
by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to
be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being
succeeded within two business days by a post-effective amendment to such
Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately
declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (a) through (d), a
"Registration Default"), the Issuing Parties will jointly and severally be
 --------------------
obligated to pay additional cash interest ("Liquidated Damages") to each Holder
                                            ------------------
of the Private Notes commencing upon the occurrence of such Registration Default
in an amount equal to $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Private Notes
held by such Holder. The amount of Liquidated Damages will increase by an
additional $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount of Private Notes with
respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have
been cured, up to a maximum amount of Liquidated Damages of $.50 per week per
$1,000 principal amount of Private Notes. All accrued Liquidated Damages shall
be paid to Holders by the Issuing Parties in the same manner as interest is paid
pursuant to the Indenture. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults
relating to any particular Transfer Restricted Securities, the accrual of
Liquidated Damages with respect to such Transfer Restricted Securities will
cease. Under no circumstances shall the Issuing Parties be required to pay any
Liquidated Damages to Holders of Original Notes in their capacity as Holders of
Original Notes.

                  All obligations of the Issuing Parties set forth in the
preceding paragraph that have accrued and are outstanding with respect to any
Transfer Restricted Security at the time

                                       9

<PAGE>

such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until
such time as all such obligations with respect to such Transfer Restricted
Security shall have been satisfied in full.

                        (b) The Issuing Parties shall notify the Trustee within
one business day after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect
of which Liquidated Damages are required to be paid (an "Event Date").
                                                         ----------
Liquidated Damages shall be paid by depositing Liquidated Damages with the
Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Private Notes, on or
before the applicable Interest Payment Date (whether or not any payment other
than Liquidated Damages is payable on such Securities), in immediately available
funds in sums sufficient to pay the Liquidated Damages then due to such Holders.
Each obligation to pay Liquidated Damages shall be deemed to accrue from the
applicable date of the occurrence of the Registration Default.

               6. Registration Procedures Exchange Offer Registration

Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuing Parties shall
---------
comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) below, shall use their best
efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted
Securities and Original Notes being sold in accordance with the intended method
or methods of distribution thereof, and shall comply with all of the following
provisions:

                           (i) If in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the
               Issuing Parties there is a question as to whether the Exchange
               Offer is permitted by applicable law, the Issuing Parties
               hereby agree to seek a no-action letter or other favorable
               decision from the Commission allowing the Issuing Parties to
               Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Securities. The Issuing
               Parties hereby agree to pursue the issuance of such a decision
               to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to
               take commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of
               Commission policy. The Issuing Parties hereby agree, however,
               to (A) participate in telephonic conferences with the
               Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission staff an analysis
               prepared by counsel to the Issuing Parties setting forth the
               legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded
               that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C)
               diligently pursue a resolution (which need not be favorable)
               by the Commission staff of such submission.

                           (ii) As a condition to its participation in the
               Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each
               Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall furnish, upon
               the request of the Issuing Parties, prior to the Consummation
               thereof, a written representation to the Issuing Parties
               (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal
               contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to
               the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate of any of the
               Issuing Parties, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend
               to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any
               person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange
               Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is
               acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary course of
               business. In addition, all such Holders of Transfer Restricted
               Securities shall otherwise cooperate in the Issuing Parties'
               preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby
               acknowledges and agrees that any Broker-Dealer and any such
               Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a
               distribution of the securities to be acquired in the

                                       10

               Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in
               effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of
               the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc.
               (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings
               Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the
               Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993,
               and similar no-action letters (including Brown & Wood LLP
               (available February 7, 1997), and any no-action letter
               obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply
               with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of
               the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale
               transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction
               should be covered by an effective registration statement
               containing the selling security holder information required by
               Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the
               resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in
               exchange for Securities acquired by such Holder directly from
               the Issuing Parties.

                        (iii) Prior to the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
               Registration Statement, the Issuing Parties shall provide a
               supplemental letter to the Commission (A) stating that the
               Issuing Parties are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance
               on the position of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital
               Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley
               and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991), Brown & Wood LLP
               (available February 7, 1997) and, if applicable, any no-action
               letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above and (B) including
               a representation that the Issuing Parties have not entered
               into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to
               distribute the Exchange Securities to be received in the
               Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Issuing Parties'
               information and belief, each Holder participating in the
               Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its
               ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or
               understanding with any Person to participate in the
               distribution of the Exchange Securities received in the
               Exchange Offer.

                        (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the
                            ----------------------------
Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuing Parties shall comply with all the
provisions of Section 6(c) below and shall use their best efforts to effect such
registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold
in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and
pursuant thereto the Issuing Parties will as expeditiously as possible prepare
and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the
registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form shall
be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance
with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof.

                        (c) General Provisions. In connection with any

               Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite
               financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or 4
               of this Agreement, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any
               event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the
               Prospectus contained

               Restricted Securities during the period required by this
               Agreement, the Issuing Parties shall file promptly an
               appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement, in the
               case of clause (A), correcting any such misstatement or
               omission, and, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), use
               their best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared
               effective and such Registration Statement and the related
               Prospectus to become usable for their intended purpose(s) as
               soon as practicable thereafter;

                        (ii)  prepare and file with the Commission such
               amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration
               Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement
               effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4
               hereof, as applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate
               when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such
               Registration Statement have been sold; cause the 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 to comply fully with the applicable
               provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act in a
               timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities
               Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by
               such Registration Statement during the applicable period in
               accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by

                        (iii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, advise the
               underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly and, if
               requested by such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing, (A)
               when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
               post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any
               Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto,
               when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the
               Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or
               amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional

               Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
               Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the
               suspension by any state securities commission of the
               qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering
               or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding
               for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any
               fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a
               material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus,
               any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated
               by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any
               additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the
               Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not
               misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop
               order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,
               or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority
               shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption
               from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under
               state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Issuing Parties shall use
               their best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such
               order at the earliest possible time;

               effectiveness;

               such representations and warranties, and take all such other
               actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or
               facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities
               pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this
               Agreement, all to such extent as may be requested by any
               Purchaser or by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or
               underwriter in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any
               Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement; and in
               connection with an Underwritten Registration, the Issuing Parties
               shall:

                         (A) upon request, furnish to each selling Holder and
                   each underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as
                   they may request and as are customarily made by issuers to
                   underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the date
                   of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement:

                                (1) a certificate, dated the date of the
                         effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement,
                         signed by (y) the Chairman of the Board, its
                         President or a Vice President and (z) the Chief
                         Financial Officer of the Issuing Parties, confirming,
                         as of the date thereof, such matters as such parties
                         may reasonably request;

                                (2) an opinion, dated the date of the
                         effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, of
                         counsel for the Issuing Parties, covering such matters
                         as such parties may reasonably request, and in any
                         event including

                                       14

<PAGE>

                         a statement to the effect that such counsel has
                         participated in conferences with officers and other
                         representatives of the Issuing Parties, representatives
                         of the independent public accountants for the Issuing
                         Parties, the Initial Purchasers' representatives and
                         the Initial Purchasers' counsel in connection with the
                         preparation of such Registration Statement and the
                         related Prospectus and have considered the matters
                         required to be stated therein and the statements
                         contained therein, although such counsel has not
                         independently verified the accuracy, completeness or
                         fairness of such statements; and that such counsel
                         advises that, on the basis of the foregoing (relying as
                         to materiality to a large extent upon facts provided to
                         such counsel by officers and other representatives of
                         the Issuing Parties and without independent check or
                         verification), no facts came to such counsel's
                         attention that caused such counsel to believe that the
                         applicable Registration Statement, at the time such
                         Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
                         thereto became effective, contained an untrue statement
                         of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
                         required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
                         statements therein not misleading, or that the
                         Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as
                         of its date, contained an untrue statement of a
                         material fact or omitted to state a material fact
                         necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
                         light of the circumstances under which they were made,
                         not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such
                         counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no
                         responsibility for, and has not independently verified,
                         the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial
                         statements, notes and schedules and other financial and
                         statistical data included in any Registration Statement
                         contemplated by this Agreement or the related
                         Prospectus; and

                                (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date
                         of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
                         Statement, from the Issuing Parties' independent
                         accountants, in the customary form and covering matters
                         of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to
                         underwriters in connection with primary underwritten
                         offerings.

                         (B) set forth in full or incorporated by reference in
                   the underwriting agreement, if any, the indemnification
                   provisions and procedures of Section 8 hereof with respect
                   to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section;
                   and

                         (C) deliver such other documents and certificates as
                   may be reasonably requested by such parties to evidence
                   compliance with clause (A) above and with any customary
                   conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or
                   other agreement entered into by the Issuing Parties
                   pursuant to this clause (xi), if any.

                         If at any time the representations and warranties of
                   the Issuing Parties contemplated in clause (A)(1) above
                   cease to be true and correct, the Issuing

                                       15

<PAGE>

                   Parties shall so advise the Initial Purchasers and the
                   underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder promptly and,
                   if requested by such Persons, shall confirm such advice in
                   writing;

                        (xii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, prior to any
               public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with
               the selling Holders, the underwriter(s), if any, and their
               respective counsel in connection with the registration and
               qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the
               securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling
               Holders or underwriter(s) may reasonably request and do any and
               all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the
               disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted
               Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided,
               however, that the Issuing Parties shall not be required to
               register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not now
               so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the
               service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to
               matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement,
               in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;

                        (xiii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, shall issue,
               upon the request of any Holder of Securities covered by the Shelf
               Registration Statement, Exchange Securities in the same amount as
               the Securities surrendered to the Issuing Parties by such Holder
               in exchange therefor or being sold by such Holder; such Exchange
               Securities to be registered in the name of such Holder or in the
               name of the purchaser(s) of such Exchange Securities, as the case
               may be; in return, the Securities held by such Holder shall be
               surrendered to the Issuing Parties for cancellation;

                        (xiv) in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate
               with the selling Holders and the underwriter(s), if any, to
               facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
               representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not
               bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Transfer
               Restricted Securities to be in such denominations and registered
               in such names as the Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may
               request at least two business days prior to any sale of Transfer
               Restricted Securities made by such underwriter(s);

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

                        (xvi) if any fact or event contemplated by clause
               (c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a
               supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration
               Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated
               therein by reference or file any other required document so that,
               as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted
               Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue

                                       16

<PAGE>

               statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
               fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

                        (xvii) provide CUSIP numbers for all Exchange Securities
               not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement
               and provide certificates for the Exchange Securities;

                        (xviii) cooperate and assist in any filings required to
               be made with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence
               investigation by any underwriter (including any "qualified
               independent underwriter") that is required to be retained in
               accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD, and use
               their best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
               effective and approved by such governmental agencies or
               authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders selling
               Transfer Restricted Securities to consummate the disposition of
               such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that no
               Issuing Party shall be required to register or qualify as a
               foreign corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take
               any action that would subject it to the service of process in
               suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions
               relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where
               it is not now so subject;

                        (xix) otherwise use their best efforts to comply with
               all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make
               generally available to their security holders, as soon as
               practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the
               requirements of Rule 158 (which need not be audited) for the
               twelve-month period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal
               quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to
               underwriters in a firm or best efforts Underwritten Offering or
               (B) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, beginning
               with the first month of the respective Issuing Party's first
               fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the
               Registration Statement;

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

                        (xxi) provide promptly to each Holder upon request each
               document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements
               of Section 13 and Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

                  Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted
Security that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuing Parties of the
existence of any fact of the kind described in

                                       17

<PAGE>

Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition
of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration
Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or
amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof, or until it is
advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Issuing Parties that the use of the
Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. If so
directed by the Issuing Parties, each Holder will deliver to the Issuing Parties
(at the Issuing Parties' expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies
then in such Holder's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer
Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice. In
the event the Issuing Parties shall give any such notice, the time period
regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section
3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by the number of days during the
period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to
Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder
covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or
shall have received the Advice.

               7. Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Issuing
Parties' performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne, jointly
and severally, by the Issuing Parties, regardless of whether a Registration
Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration
and filing fees and expenses (including filings made by any Purchaser or Holder
with the NASD (and, if applicable, the fees and expenses of any "qualified
independent underwriter" and its counsel that may be required by the rules and
regulations of the NASD)); (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal
securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing
(including printing certificates for the Exchange Securities to be issued in the
Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), and associated messenger and
delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Issuing Parties; (v) all application and filing fees in connection with
listing Securities on a national securities exchange or automated quotation
system; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public
accountants of the Issuing Parties (including the expenses of any special audit
and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance).

                  Each Issuing Party will, in any event, bear their internal
expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of their
officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of
any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special
experts, retained by such Issuing Party.

               8. 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 Purchasers, as applicable, who seeks to sell Exchange
Securities, each of the Issuing Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify
and hold harmless each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities included within
any such Shelf Registration Statement and each participating Broker-Dealer or
Initial Purchasers selling Exchange Securities, and each person, if any, who
controls any such person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
(each, a "Participant") from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability,
joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not

                                       18

<PAGE>

limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to
purchases and sales of Securities) to which such Participant or controlling
person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon,
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any such Registration Statement or any prospectus forming part
thereof or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse
each Participant promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Participant in connection with investigating or defending or
preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as
such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that (i) no Issuing Party shall
be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such
Registration Statement or any prospectus forming part thereof or in any such
amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to such Issuing Party by or on behalf of any Participant
specifically for inclusion therein; and provided further that as to any
preliminary Prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a)
shall not inure to the benefit of any such Participant or any controlling person
of such Participant on account of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action
arising from the sale of the Exchange Securities to any person by that
Participant if (i) that Participant failed to send or give a copy of the
Prospectus, as the same may be amended or supplemented, to that person within
the time required by the Securities Act and (ii) the untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact in such preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus,
unless, in each case, such failure resulted from non-compliance by any Issuing
Party with Section 6(c). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any
liability which any Issuing Party may otherwise have to any Participant or to
any controlling person of that Participant.

                  (b) Each Participant, severally and not jointly, shall
indemnify and hold harmless each of the Issuing Parties, their respective
directors, officers, employees or agents and each person, if any, who controls
any Issuing Party within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, from
and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any
action in respect thereof, to which any Issuing Party or any such director,
officer, employees or agents or controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary Prospectus,
Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, 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 furnished to such Issuing Party
by or on behalf of that Participant specifically for inclusion herein, and shall
reimburse such Issuing Party and any such director, officer, employees or agents
or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such Issuing Party or any such director, officer, employees or agents or
controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or

                                       19

<PAGE>

preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in
addition to any liability which any Participant may otherwise have to any
Issuing Party or any such director, officer or controlling person.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that
the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further, that the
failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and
it shall have notified the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes,
jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice
from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume
the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
to the indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that
the indemnified party shall have the right to employ counsel to represent
jointly the indemnified party and those other Participants and its respective
officers, employees and controlling persons who may be subject to liability
arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the
Participants against the indemnifying party under this Section 8 if, in the
reasonable judgment of the indemnified party it is advisable for the indemnified
party and those Participants, officers, employees and controlling persons to be
jointly represented by separate counsel, and in that event the fees and expenses
of such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. In no event
shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel (in addition to local counsel). Each indemnified party, as a
condition of the indemnity agreements contained in Section 8, shall use its best
efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such
action or claim. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written
consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in
respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
(whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such
claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out
of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) be liable for any settlement
of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there
be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

                  (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8
shall for any reason be unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under Section 8(a) or 8(b) in respect of any loss, claim,
damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, in such
proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Issuing
Party on the one hand and the Participants on the other with respect to the
statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability,
or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such
Issuing Party or the Participants, the intent of the parties and their relative
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Issuing Parties and the Participants agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 8(d)
were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Participants were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to
herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to
above in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this
Section 8(d), 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 8(d), no Participant
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
proceeds received by such Participant from an offering of the Securities exceeds
the amount of any damages which such Participant has otherwise paid or become
liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Participants' obligations to contribute as provided in
this Section 8(d) are several and not joint.

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

              10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may
participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a)
agrees to sell such Holder's Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements 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 required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

                                       21

<PAGE>

              11. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to
do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering.
In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers
and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by
the Issuing Parties; provided, that such investment bankers and managers must be
reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering.

              12. Miscellaneous. (a) (a) Remedies. The Issuing Parties agree
                                         --------
that monetary damages (including Liquidated Damages) would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions
of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

                  (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. None of the Issuing Parties
                      --------------------------
will, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with
respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. No
Issuing Party has previously entered into any agreement granting any
registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person (other than Oak
Hill Securities Fund, L.P., Oak Hill Securities Fund II, L.P. or other accounts
managed by Oak Hill Advisors, Inc. or its Affiliates), other than, in the case
of the Company, the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2001,
relating to $270,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9% Senior Notes due
2008 and $180,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9?% Senior Notes due
2011 and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2001,
relating to $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10 1/2% Senior Notes
due 2009. 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
Issuing Parties' securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

                  (c) Adjustments Affecting the Securities. The Issuing Parties
                      ------------------------------------
will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to
Securities that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders
to Consummate any Exchange Offer unless such action or change is required by
applicable law.

                  (d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement
                      ----------------------
may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or
departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuing
Parties have obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the
outstanding principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the
provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose
securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not
affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are
not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders
of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities being tendered or registered.
