          2.        REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

          (a)       Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Issuers agree
to file under the Securities Act, as soon as practicable, but no later than 90
days after the Closing Date, a registration statement relating to an offer to
exchange (such registration statement, the "EXCHANGE REGISTRATION STATEMENT",
and such offer, the "EXCHANGE OFFER") any and all of the Securities for a like
aggregate principal amount of debt securities issued by the Company and
guaranteed by the Guarantor, which debt securities (the "Exchange Notes") and
guarantee are substantially identical to the Securities and the related
Guarantee, respectively (and are entitled to the benefits of a trust indenture
which is substantially identical to the Indenture or is the Indenture and which
has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act and do not contain provisions for the additional interest contemplated in
Section 2(c) below (such new debt securities hereinafter called "EXCHANGE
SECURITIES"). The Issuers agree to cause the Exchange Registration Statement to
become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the
filing thereof, but no later than 150 days after the Closing Date. The Exchange
Offer will be registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate form and
will comply with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the
Exchange Act. The Issuers further agree to use their reasonable best efforts to
commence and complete the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange
Registration Statement becomes effective, hold the Exchange Offer open for at
least 30 days and exchange Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities
that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the
Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been "completed" only
if the debt securities and related guarantee received by holders other than
Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are, upon
receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the
Securities Act. The Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon
the earlier to occur of (i) the Issuers having exchanged the Exchange Securities
for all outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer and
(ii) the Issuers having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange
Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been validly tendered and
not withdrawn before the expiration of the Exchange Offer, which shall be on a
date that is at least 30 days following the commencement of the Exchange Offer.
The Issuers agree (x) to include in the Exchange Registration Statement a
prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange Securities that is a
broker-dealer and (y) to keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for
a period (the "Resale Period") beginning when Exchange Securities are first
issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of
the 180th day after the Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such
broker-dealers no longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such
Exchange Registration Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the
rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in Sections6(a), (c), (d)
and (e) hereof.

<Page>

          (b)       If (i) on or prior to the time the Exchange Offer is
completed existing Commission interpretations are changed such that the debt
securities or the related guarantee received by holders other than Restricted
Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are not or would not
be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the
Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 180 days
following the Closing Date or (iii) the Exchange Offer is not available to any
holder of the Securities, the Issuers shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of
clause (iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by
Section 2(a), file under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no later
than the later of 30 days after the time such obligation to file arises (but in
no event earlier than 90 days after the Closing Date), a "shelf" registration
statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or
delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to
Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing,
the "Shelf Registration" and such registration statement, the "Shelf
Registration Statement"). The Issuers agree to use their reasonable best efforts
(x) to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective
no later than 60 days after such Shelf Registration Statement is filed and to
keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period
ending on the earlier of the second anniversary of the Effective Time or such
time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding, provided,
however, that no holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling
securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus
forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder
is an Electing Holder, and (y) after the Effective Time of the Shelf
Registration Statement, promptly upon the request of any holder of Registrable
Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, to take any action reasonably
necessary to enable such holder to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for
resales of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, any action
necessary to identify such holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf
Registration Statement, provided, however, that nothing in this clause (y) shall
relieve any such holder of the obligation to return a completed and signed
Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 3(d)(iii)
hereof. The Issuers further agree to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf
Registration Statement, as and when required by the rules, regulations or
instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such
Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations
thereunder for shelf registration, and the Issuers agree to furnish to each
Electing Holder copies of any such supplement or amendment prior to its being
used or promptly following its filing with the Commission.

          (c)       In the event that (i) the Issuers have not filed the
Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement on or before the
date on which such registration statement is required to be filed pursuant to
Section 2(a) or 2(b), respectively, or (ii) such Exchange Registration Statement
or Shelf Registration Statement has not become effective or been declared
effective by the Commission on or before the date on which such registration
statement is required to become or be declared effective pursuant to Section
2(a) or 2(b), respectively, or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been consummated
within 180 days following the Issue Date or (iv) any Exchange Registration
Statement or Shelf Registration Statement required by Section 2(a) or 2(b)
hereof is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn
by the Issuers or shall become subject to an effective stop order issued
pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of
such registration statement (except as specifically permitted herein) without
being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and
declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a
"Registration Default" and each period during which a Registration Default has
occurred and is continuing, a "Registration Default Period"), then, as
liquidated damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of
Section 9(b), special interest ("Special Interest"), in addition to the Base
Interest, shall accrue at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first

<Page>

90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per annum rate of 0.50% for the
second 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per annum rate of 0.75%
for the third 90 days of the Registration Default Period and at a per annum rate
of 1.0% thereafter for the remaining portion of the Registration Default Period.

          (d)       The Company shall take, and shall cause the Guarantor to
take, all actions necessary or advisable to be taken by them to ensure that the
transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated, including all
actions necessary or desirable to register the Guarantee under the registration
statement contemplated in Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof, as applicable.

          (e)       Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any
time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be
incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any reference herein to
any post-effective amendment to a registration statement as of any time shall be
deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated,
therein by reference as of such time.

          3.        REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

          If the Issuers file a registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a)
or Section 2(b), the following provisions shall apply:

          (a)       At or before the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration
or the Shelf Registration, as the case may be, the Issuers shall qualify the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

          (b)       In the event that such qualification would require the
appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Issuers shall appoint a
new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

          (c)       In connection with the Issuers' obligations with respect to
the registration of Exchange Securities as contemplated by Section 2(a) (the
"Exchange Registration"), if applicable, the Issuers shall, as soon as
practicable (or as otherwise specified):

          (i)       prepare and file with the Commission, as soon as practicable
     but no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, an Exchange Registration
     Statement on any form which may be utilized by the Issuers and which shall
     permit the Exchange Offer and resales of Exchange Securities by
     broker-dealers during the Resale Period to be effected as contemplated by
     Section 2(a), and use their reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange
     Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable
     thereafter, but no later than 150 days after the Closing Date;

          (ii)      as soon as practicable prepare and file with the Commission
     such amendments and supplements to such Exchange Registration Statement and
     the prospectus included therein as may be necessary to effect and maintain
     the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration Statement for the periods
     and purposes contemplated in Section2(a) hereof and as may be required by
     the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the instructions
     applicable to the form of such Exchange Registration Statement, and
     promptly provide each broker-dealer holding Exchange Securities with such
     number of copies of the prospectus included therein (as then amended or
     supplemented), in conformity in all material respects with the requirements
     of the Securities Act

<Page>

     and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission
     thereunder, as such broker-dealer reasonably may request prior to the
     expiration of the Resale Period, for use in connection with resales of
     Exchange Securities;

          (iii)     promptly notify each broker-dealer that has requested or
     received copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement,
     and confirm such advice in writing, (A) when such Exchange Registration
     Statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or
     supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to
     such Exchange Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when
     the same has become effective, (B) of any comments by the Commission and by
     the blue sky or securities commissioner or regulator of any state with
     respect thereto or any request by the Commission for amendments or
     supplements to such Exchange Registration Statement or prospectus or for
     additional information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
     order suspending the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration Statement
     or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (D)
     if at any time the representations and warranties of the Issuers
     contemplated by Section 5 cease to be true and correct in all material
     respects, (E) of the receipt by the Issuers of any notification with
     respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Exchange Securities
     for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
     proceeding for such purpose, or (F) at any time during the Resale Period
     when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act,
     that such Exchange Registration Statement, prospectus, prospectus amendment
     or supplement or post-effective amendment does not conform in all material
     respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust
     Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or
     contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
     material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
     statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
     existing;

          (iv)      in the event that the Issuers would be required, pursuant to
     Section 3(c)(iii)(F) above, to notify any broker-dealers holding Exchange
     Securities, without delay prepare and furnish to each such holder a
     reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so
     that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of such Exchange Securities
     during the Resale Period, such prospectus shall conform in all material
     respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust
     Indenture Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
     and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
     state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
     the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
     existing;

          (v)       use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal
     of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration
     Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto at the earliest
     practicable date;

     the Exchange Securities under the securities laws or blue sky laws of such
     jurisdictions as are requested by a broker-dealer holding Exchange
     Securities, (B) keep such registrations or qualifications in effect and
     comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of offers, sales and
     dealings therein in such jurisdictions until the expiration of the Resale
     Period and (C) take any and all other actions as may be reasonably
     necessary or advisable to enable each broker-dealer holding Exchange
     Securities to consummate the disposition thereof in such jurisdictions;
     provided, however, that neither Issuer shall be required

<Page>

     jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for
     the requirements of this Section 3(c)(vi), (2) consent to general service
     of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) make any changes to its
     certificate of incorporation or by-laws or any agreement between it and its

     and its subsidiaries complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
     (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158 thereunder).

          (d)       In connection with the Issuers' obligations with respect to
a Shelf Registration, if applicable, the Issuers shall, as soon as practicable
(or as otherwise specified):

          (i)       prepare and file with the Commission, as soon as practicable
     but in any case within the time periods specified in Section 2(b), a Shelf
     Registration Statement on any form which may be utilized by the Company and
     which shall register all of the Registrable Securities for resale by the
     holders thereof in accordance with such method or methods of disposition as
     may be specified by such of the holders as, from time to time, may be
     Electing Holders and use their reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf

     the Effective Time, and no holder shall be entitled to use the prospectus
     forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities at any time,
     unless such holder has returned a completed and signed Notice and
     Questionnaire to the Company by the deadline for response set forth
     therein; provided, however, holders of Registrable Securities shall have at
     least 28 calendar days from the date on which the Notice and Questionnaire
     is first mailed to such holders to return a completed and signed Notice and
     Questionnaire to the Company;

          (iii)     after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration
     Statement, upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is

     necessary or advisable to enable each such Electing Holder, agent, if any,
     and underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition in such
     jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that
     neither Issuer shall be required for any such purpose to (1) qualify as a
     foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not otherwise be
     required to qualify but for the requirements of this Section 3(d)(xii), (2)
     consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) make

     only form, cooperate with the Electing Holders and the managing
     underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
     certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold, which

     addressed to such Electing Holder or Electing Holders and the placement or
     sales agent, if any, therefor and the underwriters, if any, thereof and

     material compliance as to form of such Shelf Registration Statement and any
     documents incorporated by reference therein and of the Indenture with the
     requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the
     rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, respectively; and, as
     of the date of the opinion and of the Shelf Registration Statement or most
     recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the absence
     from such Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein,
     as then amended or supplemented, and from the documents incorporated by

     prospectus included in such Shelf Registration Statement or post-effective
     amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement which includes unaudited or
     audited financial statements as of a date or for a period subsequent to
     that of the latest such statements included in such prospectus, dated the
     date of the closing under the underwriting agreement relating thereto),

     the type customarily covered by letters of such type; (D) deliver such
     documents and certificates, including officers' certificates, as may be
     reasonably requested by any Electing Holders of at least 20% in aggregate
     principal amount of the Registrable Securities at the time outstanding or

     other agreement entered into by either Issuer; and (E) undertake such
     obligations relating to expense reimbursement, indemnification and
     contribution as are provided in Section 6 hereof;

          (xviii)   notify in writing each holder of Registrable Securities of

     and of any amendment or waiver effected pursuant thereto, each of which
     notices shall contain the text of the amendment or waiver proposed or
     effected, as the case may be;

          (xix)     in the event that any broker-dealer registered under the
     Exchange Act shall underwrite any Registrable Securities or participate as
     a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or "assist in the
     distribution" (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the "Conduct
     Rules") of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or
     any successor thereto, as amended from time to time) thereof, whether as a
     holder of such Registrable Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or
     sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, assist
     such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Conduct
     Rules, including by (A) if such Conduct Rules shall so require, engaging a
     "qualified independent underwriter" (as defined in such Conduct Rules) to
     participate in the preparation of the Shelf Registration Statement relating
     to such Registrable Securities, to exercise usual standards of due
     diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering
     contemplated by such Shelf Registration Statement is an underwritten
     offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the
     yield of such Registrable Securities, (B) indemnifying any such qualified
     independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of
     underwriters provided in Section 6 hereof (or to such other customary

     Securities Act (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158
     thereunder).

          (e)       In the event that the Issuers would be required, pursuant to
Section 3(d)(viii)(F) above, to notify the Electing Holders, the placement or
sales agent, if any, therefor and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof,
the Issuers shall without delay prepare and furnish to each of the Electing
Holders, to each placement or sales agent, if any, and to each such underwriter,
if any, a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so
that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of Registrable Securities, such
prospectus shall conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements
of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder and shall not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing. Each Electing Holder agrees that upon receipt of
any notice from the Issuers pursuant to Section 3(d)(viii)(F) hereof, such
Electing Holder shall forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such
Registrable Securities until such Electing Holder shall have received copies of
such amended or supplemented prospectus, and if so directed by the Issuers, such
Electing Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all
copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Electing Holder's
possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of
receipt of such notice.

          (f)       In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the
information required to be provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice and
Questionnaire, the Company may require such Electing Holder to furnish to the
Company such additional information regarding such Electing Holder and such
Electing Holder's intended method of distribution of Registrable Securities as
may be required in order to comply with the Securities Act. Each such Electing
Holder agrees to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy
or change in information previously furnished by such Electing Holder to the
Company or of the occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which
any prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration contains or would contain an
untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such
Electing Holder's intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities
or omits to state any material fact regarding such Electing Holder or such
Electing Holder's intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish
to the Company any additional information required to correct and update any
previously furnished information or required so that such prospectus shall not
contain, with respect to such Electing Holder or the disposition of such
Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

          (g)       Until the expiration of two years after the Closing Date,
the Company will not, and will not permit any of its "affiliates" (as defined in
Rule144) over which it exercises con-

<Page>

trol to, resell any of the Securities that have been reacquired by any of them
except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of such documents will contain or
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that this representation
and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Issuers by a
holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein.

          (c)       The compliance by the Issuers with all of the provisions of
this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions herein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of
any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to
which the Issuers or any subsidiary of the Issuers are a party or by which the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company is bound or to which any of the
property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is subject,
nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the
certificate of incorporation, as amended, or the by-laws of the Company or the
Guarantor or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or
governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company or any of their properties; and no consent, approval,
authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or
governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Company and
the Guarantor of the transactions contemplated by this Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement, except the registration under the Securities Act of the
Securities, qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act and
such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may
be required under State securities or blue sky laws in connection with the
offering and distribution of the Securities.

          (d)       This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuers.

          6.        INDEMNIFICATION.

          (a)       INDEMNIFICATION BY THE ISSUERS. The Issuers, jointly and
severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the holders of Registrable
Securities included in an Exchange Registration Statement pursuant to the last
two sentences of Section 2(a), each of the Electing Holders of Registrable
Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement and each person who
participates as a placement or sales agent or as an underwriter in any offering
or sale of such Registrable Securities against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder, agent or underwriter may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration
Statement, as the case may be, under which such Registrable Securities were
registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary
prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such holder,
Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such holder, such Electing
Holder, such agent and such underwriter for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that
neither Issuer shall be liable to any such person in any such case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in such registration statement, or preliminary, final or summary
prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such person
expressly for use therein.

          (b)       INDEMNIFICATION BY THE HOLDERS AND ANY AGENTS AND
UNDERWRITERS. The Issuers may require, as a condition to including any
Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section
2(b) hereof and to entering into any underwriting agreement with respect
thereto, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably
satisfactory to it from the Electing Holder of such Registrable Securities and
from each underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement, severally and
not jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers and all other
holders of Registrable Securities, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which the Issuers or such other holders of Registrable Securities
may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary,
final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any
such Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Electing Holder or underwriter
expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Issuers for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuers in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that no such Electing Holder shall be required to un-

<Page>

dertake liability to any person under this Section 6(b) for any amounts in
excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Electing
Holder from the sale of such Electing Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant
to such registration.

          (c)       NOTICES OF CLAIMS, ETC. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the
indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify such
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the
indemnification provisions of or contemplated by Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof. In
case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall
notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be
counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party
shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the
settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the
indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim)
unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)includes an unconditional
release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action
or claim and (ii)does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

          (d)       CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification
provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to
therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, 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 indemnifying party or by such indemnified party,
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this
Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any
agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to
include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no holder shall
be required to con-

<Page>

tribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the
proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities
(after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds
the amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission, and no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable
Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The holders' and any underwriters' obligations in this
Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal
amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be,
by them and not joint.

          (e)       The obligations of the each Issuer under this Section 6
shall be in addition to any liability which each Issuer may otherwise have and
shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and
partner of each holder, agent and underwriter and each person, if any, who
controls any holder, agent or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act; and the obligations of the holders and any agents or underwriters
contemplated by this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the
respective holder, agent or underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company
or the Guarantor (including any person who, with his consent, is named in any
registration statement as about to become a director of the Company or the
Guarantor) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act.

          7.        UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS.

          (a)       SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any of the Registrable
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration are to be sold pursuant to an
underwritten offering, the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be
designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering,
provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is or are
reasonably acceptable to the Company.

          (b)       PARTICIPATION BY HOLDERS. Each holder of Registrable
Securities hereby agrees with each other such holder that no such holder may
participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such holder (i) agrees
to sell such holder's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve
such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

          8.        RULE 144.

          The Company covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to
the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company
shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act
or the Securities Act (including the reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the
Commission under the Securities Act) and the rules and regulations

<Page>

adopted by the Commission thereunder, and shall take such further action as any
holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the
exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be
amended from time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of
Registrable Securities in connection with that holder's sale pursuant to
Rule144, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such requirements.

          9.        MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a)       NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Issuers represent, warrant,
covenant and agree that they have not granted, and shall not grant, registration
rights with respect to Registrable Securities or any other securities which
would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement.

          (b)       SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The parties hereto acknowledge that
there would be no adequate remedy at law if either Issuer fails to perform any
of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time
to time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such
failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such holders, in addition
to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be
entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Issuers under
this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, in any court of
the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.

          (c)       NOTICES. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and
other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given when delivered by hand, if delivered personally or by courier,
or three days after being deposited in the mail (registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows: If to either Issuer, to
the Company at 1855 Boston Road, Wilbraham, Massachusetts 01095, and if to a
holder, to the address of such holder set forth in the security register or
other records of the Company, or to such other address as the Company or any
such holder may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith,
except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

          (d)       PARTIES IN INTEREST. All the terms and provisions of this
Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to
the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and the holders
from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors
and assigns of the parties hereto and such holders. In the event that any
transferee of any holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable
Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law
or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of
any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable
Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Exchange and
Registration Rights Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable
Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be
conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable terms
and provisions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement. If the
Company shall so request, any such successor, assign or transferee shall agree
in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the
applicable terms hereof.

<Page>

          (e)       SURVIVAL. The respective indemnities, agreements,
representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this Exchange
and Registration Rights Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as to the results
thereof) made by or on behalf of any holder of Registrable Securities, any
director, officer or partner of such holder, any agent or underwriter or any
director, officer or partner thereof, or any controlling person of any of the
foregoing, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the transfer and registration
of Registrable Securities by such holder and the consummation of an Exchange
Offer.

          (f)       GOVERNING LAW. This Exchange and Registration Rights
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York.

          (g)       HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the several Sections
and paragraphs of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement are inserted
for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation
of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement.

          (h)       ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement and the other writings referred to herein (including the
Indenture and the form of Securities) or delivered pursuant hereto which form a
part hereof contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its
subject matter. This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to its
subject matter. This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement may be amended
and the observance of any term of this Exchange and Registration Rights
Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument duly executed by
the Issuers and the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Registrable Securities at the time outstanding. Each holder of any
Registrable Securities at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by
any amendment or waiver effected pursuant to this Section 9(h), whether or not
any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment or waiver appears on
such Registrable Securities or is delivered to such holder.

          (i)       COUNTERPARTS. This agreement may be executed by the parties
in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

<Page>

          If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign
and return to us 7 counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you,
on behalf of each of the Purchasers, this letter and such acceptance hereof
shall constitute a binding agreement among the Purchasers and the Issuers. It is
understood that your acceptance of this letter on behalf of each of the
Purchasers is pursuant to the authority set forth in a form of Agreement among
Purchasers, the form of which shall be submitted to the Company for examination
upon request, but without warranty on your part as to the authority of the
signers thereof.

                                          Very truly yours,

                      SELLING SECURITYHOLDER QUESTIONNAIRE

                                  [       ], 2004

Reference is hereby made to the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement (the
"Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement") between Friendly Ice Cream
Corporation (the "Company"), Friendly's Restaurants Franchise, Inc. (the
"Guarantor") and the Purchasers named therein. Pursuant to the Exchange and
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement
on Form[__] (the "Shelf Registration Statement") for the registration and resale
under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
of the Company's $175,000,000 8 3/8% Senior Notes Due 2012 (the "Securities"). A
copy of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto. All
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
thereto in the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement.

Each beneficial owner of Registrable Securities (as defined below) is entitled
to have the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it included in the
Shelf Registration Statement. In order to have Registrable Securities included
in the Shelf Registration Statement, this Notice of Registration Statement and
Selling Securityholder Questionnaire ("Notice and Questionnaire") must be
completed, executed and delivered to the Company's counsel at the address set
forth herein for receipt ON OR BEFORE [      ]. Beneficial owners of Registrable
Securities who do not complete, execute and return this Notice and Questionnaire
by such date (i) will not be named as selling securityholders in the Shelf
Registration Statement and (ii) may not use the Prospectus forming a part
thereof for resales of Registrable Securities.

Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling securityholder in
the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus. Accordingly, holders
and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own
securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being
named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and
related Prospectus.

The term "REGISTRABLE SECURITIES" is defined in the Exchange and Registration
Rights Agreement.

          Registrable Securities or otherwise, the Selling Securityholder may
          enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn
          engage in short sales of the Registrable Securities in the course of
          hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Securityholder may also
          sell Registrable Securities short and deliver Registrable Securities
          to close out such short positions, or loan or pledge Registrable
          Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such securities.
