<Page>

       Each Holder (including, without limitation, each Participating
Broker-Dealer) who participates in the Exchange Offer will be required to
represent to the Company in writing (which may be contained in the applicable
letter of transmittal) that: (i) any Exchange Notes acquired in exchange for
Registrable Notes tendered are being acquired in the ordinary course of business
of the Person receiving such Exchange Notes, whether or not such recipient is
such Holder itself; (ii) at the time of the commencement or consummation of the
Exchange Offer, neither such Holder nor, to the actual knowledge of such Holder,
any other Person receiving Exchange Notes from such Holder has an arrangement or
understanding with any Person to participate in, the distribution of the
Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act; (iii)
neither such Holder nor, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, any other
Person receiving Exchange Notes from such Holder is an "affiliate" (as defined
in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Company or, if it is an affiliate

requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable and will provide
information to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance
with Section 5 hereof in order to have its Notes included in the Shelf
Registration Statement and benefit from the provisions regarding Additional
Interest in Section 4 hereof; (iv) neither such Holder nor, to the actual
knowledge of such Holder, any other Person receiving Exchange Notes from such
Holder is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange
Notes; and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer, such Holder has
acquired Registrable Notes as a result of market-making activities or other
trading activities and that it will comply with the applicable provisions of the
Securities Act (including, but not limited to, the prospectus delivery
requirements thereunder).

       Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this Section
2, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply, MUTATIS MUTANDIS,
solely with respect to Registrable Notes that are Private Exchange Notes,
Exchange Notes as to which Section 2(c)(iv) is applicable and Exchange Notes
held by Participating Broker-Dealers, and the Issuers shall have no further
obligation to register Registrable Notes (other than Private Exchange Notes,
Exchange Notes as to which Section 2(c)(iv) hereof applies and Exchange Notes
held by Participating Broker-Dealers) pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

       No securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be included in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement.

       (b) The Issuers shall include within the Prospectus contained in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled "Plan of Distribution,"
reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers, which shall contain a summary
statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the SEC with
respect to the potential "underwriter" status of any broker-dealer that is the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange
Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer (a "PARTICIPATING
BROKER-DEALER"), whether such positions or policies have been publicly
disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies represent the
prevailing views of the staff of the SEC. Such "Plan of Distribution" section
shall also expressly permit, to the extent permitted by applicable policies and
regulations of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including, to the extent
permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, all Participating
Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the means by which
Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes in compliance with
the Securities Act.

       The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the
Prospectus contained therein in order to permit such Prospectus to be lawfully
delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act for such period of time as is necessary to comply with applicable
law in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
such period shall not be

                                      -5-
<Page>

required to exceed 150 days or such longer period if extended pursuant to the
last paragraph of Section 5 hereof (the "APPLICABLE PERIOD").

       If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchasers
hold any Securities acquired by them that have the status of an unsold allotment
in the initial distribution, the Issuers, upon the request of the Initial
Purchasers, shall simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes issue
and deliver to the Initial Purchasers, in exchange (the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE") for
such Securities held by any such Holder, a like principal amount of notes of the
Company and guarantees of the Guarantors (collectively, the "PRIVATE EXCHANGE
NOTES") that are, in each case, identical in all material respects to the
Exchange Notes except for the placement of a restrictive legend on such Private
Exchange Notes. The Private Exchange Notes shall be issued pursuant to the same
indenture as the Exchange Notes and bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange
Notes if permitted by the CUSIP Service Bureau.

       In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers shall:

            (1) mail, or cause to be mailed, to each Holder of record entitled
       to participate in the Exchange Offer a copy of the Prospectus forming
       part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an
       appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;

            (2) use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer
       open for not less than 30 days after the date that notice of the Exchange
       Offer is mailed to Holders (or longer if required by applicable law);

            (3) utilize the services of a depositary for the Exchange Offer with
       an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York;

            (4) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior
       to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on
       which the Exchange Offer remains open; and

            (5) otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable
       laws, rules and regulations.

                  As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer
and the Private Exchange, if any, the Issuers shall:

            (1) accept for exchange all Registrable Notes validly tendered and
       not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Private
       Exchange, if any;

            (2) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes so
       accepted for exchange; and

            (3) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each
       Holder of Securities, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the
       case may be, equal in principal amount to the Securities of such Holder
       so accepted for exchange; PROVIDED that, in the case of any Notes held in
       global form by a depositary, authentication and delivery to such
       depositary of one or more replacement Notes in global form in an
       equivalent principal amount thereto for the account of such Holders in
       accordance with the Indenture shall satisfy such authentication and
       delivery requirement.

                                      -6-
<Page>

       The Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange shall not be subject to any
conditions, other than that (i) the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as the
case may be, does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of
the staff of the SEC; (ii) no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or
threatened in any court or by any governmental agency which might materially
impair the ability of the Issuers to proceed with the Exchange Offer or the
Private Exchange, and no material adverse development shall have occurred in any
existing action or proceeding with respect to the Issuers; and (iii) all
governmental approvals which the Issuers deem necessary for the consummation of
the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange shall have been obtained.

       The Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes shall be issued under
(i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical in all material respects to the
Indenture and which, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA or is
exempt from such qualification and shall provide that the Exchange Notes shall
not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. The
Indenture or such indenture shall provide that the Exchange Notes, the Private
Exchange Notes and the Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters as
one class and that none of the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes or the
Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

       (c) If, (i) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing
interpretations of the staff of the SEC, the Issuers are not permitted to effect
the Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated within 180 days
of the Issue Date, (iii) the Initial Purchasers or any other holder of Private
Exchange Notes so requests in writing to the Company at any time after the
consummation of the Exchange Offer or (iv) in the case of any Holder that
participates in the Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive Exchange Notes
on the date of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and
federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as
an affiliate of the Issuers within the meaning of the Securities Act) and so
notifies the Issuers within 60 days after the consummation of the Exchange
Offer, then in the case of each of clauses (i) to and including (iv) of this
sentence, the Issuers shall promptly deliver to the Holders and the Trustee
written notice thereof (the "SHELF NOTICE") and shall file a Shelf Registration
pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

       3. SHELF REGISTRATION

       If at any time a Shelf Notice is delivered as contemplated by Section
2(c) hereof, then:

       (a) SHELF REGISTRATION. The Issuers shall file with the SEC a
Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (the "INITIAL SHELF
REGISTRATION"). The Issuers shall file with the SEC the Initial Shelf
Registration as promptly as practicable and, in any event, on or prior to the
applicable Filing Date. The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 or
another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Notes for
resale by Holders in the manner or manners designated by them (including,
without limitation, one or more Underwritten Offerings). The Issuers shall not
permit any securities other than the Registrable Notes to be included in the
Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration (as defined
below).

       The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf
Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to
the Effectiveness Date and to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously
effective under the Securities Act until the date that is two years from the
Issue Date or such shorter period ending when all Registrable Notes covered by
the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as
contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration or, if applicable, a Subsequent
Shelf Registration (the "EFFECTIVENESS PERIOD"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
Effectiveness Period in respect of the Initial Shelf Registration shall be
extended to the extent required to permit dealers to comply with the applicable
prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the

                                      -7-
<Page>

Securities Act and as otherwise provided herein and shall be subject to
reduction to the extent that the applicable provisions of Rule 144(k) are
amended or revised to reduce the two year holding period set forth therein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time, the
Company may delay the filing of any Shelf Registration Statement or delay or
suspend the effectiveness thereof or cease to permit the use of any related
Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement), for a reasonable period of
time, but not in excess of an aggregate of 60 days in any calendar year (a
"SHELF SUSPENSION PERIOD"), if the Board of Directors of the Company determines
in good faith that the filing of any such Shelf Registration Statement or the
continuing effectiveness thereof or the continued use of any such Prospectus (or
amendment or supplement) would require the disclosure of non-public material
information that would be detrimental to the Company if so disclosed or would
otherwise materially adversely affect a financing, acquisition, disposition,
merger or other material transaction.

       (b) WITHDRAWAL OF STOP ORDERS; SUBSEQUENT SHELF REGISTRATIONS. If the
Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration ceases to be
effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than
because of the sale of all of the Securities registered thereunder), the Issuers
shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 45
days of such cessation of effectiveness amend such Shelf Registration Statement
in a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness
thereof or file an additional Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415
covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial
Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration (each, a
"SUBSEQUENT SHELF REGISTRATION"). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed,
the Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Subsequent
Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as
practicable after such filing and to keep such subsequent Shelf Registration
continuously effective for a period equal to the number of days in the
Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during which the Initial
Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration was previously
continuously effective. As used herein the term "SHELF REGISTRATION" means the
Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registration.

       (c) SUPPLEMENTS AND AMENDMENTS. The Issuers shall promptly supplement and
amend the Shelf Registration if required by the rules, regulations or
instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf
Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested by
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the
Registrable Notes (or their counsel) covered by such Registration Statement with
respect to the information included therein with respect to one or more of such
Holders, or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes with respect to the
information included therein with respect to such underwriter.

       4. ADDITIONAL INTEREST

       (a) The Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that the Holders will
suffer damages if the Issuers fail to fulfill their obligations under Section 2
or Section 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of
such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Issuers agree to pay additional
interest on the Notes ("ADDITIONAL INTEREST") under the circumstances and to the
extent set forth below (each of which shall be given independent effect):

            (i) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the
       Initial Shelf Registration has been filed on or prior to the Filing Date
       applicable thereto or (B) notwithstanding that the Issuers have
       consummated or will consummate the Exchange Offer, the Issuers are
       required to file a Shelf Registration and such Shelf Registration is not
       filed on or prior to the Filing Date applicable thereto, then, commencing
       on the day after any such Filing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue
       on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the
       first 90 days immediately following such applicable Filing Date, and such
       Additional

                                      -8-
<Page>

       Interest rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum at the
       beginning of each subsequent 90-day period; or

            (ii) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor
       the Initial Shelf Registration is declared effective by the SEC on or
       prior to the Effectiveness Date applicable thereto or (B) notwithstanding
       that the Issuers have consummated or will consummate the Exchange Offer,
       the Issuers are required to file a Shelf Registration and such Shelf
       Registration is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the
       Effectiveness Date applicable to such Shelf Registration, then,
       commencing on the day after such Effectiveness Date, Additional Interest
       shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.25% per
       annum for the first 90 days immediately following the day after such
       Effectiveness Date, and such Additional Interest rate shall increase by
       an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day
       period; or

            (iii) if (A) the Issuers have not exchanged Exchange Notes for all
       Securities validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Exchange
       Offer on or prior to the 180th day after the Issue Date or (B) if
       applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and such
       Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time during the
       Effectiveness Period, then Additional Interest shall accrue on the
       principal amount of the Notes which are required to be registered under
       the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf
       Registration Statement at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days
       commencing on the (x) 180th day after the Issue Date, in the case of (A)
       above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective in
       the case of (B) above, and such Additional Interest rate shall increase
       by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each such subsequent
       90-day period;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Additional Interest rate on the Notes may not accrue
under more than one of the foregoing clauses (i) to and including (iii) at any
one time and at no time shall the aggregate amount of additional interest
accruing exceed in the aggregate 1.0% per annum; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER,
that (1) upon the filing of the applicable Exchange Offer Registration Statement
or the applicable Shelf Registration as required hereunder (in the case of
clause (i) of this Section 4), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the applicable Shelf Registration Statement as
required hereunder (in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 4) or (3) upon
the exchange of the Exchange Notes for all Securities tendered (in the case of
clause (iii)(A) of this Section 4), or upon the effectiveness of the applicable
Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective (in the case
of (iii)(B) of this Section 4), Additional Interest on the Notes in respect of
which such events relate as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause
thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 4, the Company shall not be obligated to pay
Additional Interest provided in Sections 4(a)(i)(B), 4(a)(ii)(B) or 4(a)(iii)(B)
during a Shelf Suspension Period permitted by Section 3(a) hereof. Each
reference in this Indenture to payment of interest due with respect to any Note
includes payment of any Additional Interest due with respect thereto.

       (b) The Issuers shall notify the Trustee within one Business Day after
each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Additional
Interest is required to be paid (an "EVENT DATE"). Any amounts of Additional
Interest due pursuant to (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this Section 4 will be
payable in cash, in each case, semiannually on each April 15 and October 15 (to
the holders of record on the April 1 and October 1 immediately preceding such
dates), commencing with the first such date occurring after any such Additional
Interest commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest will be
determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the
principal amount of the Registrable Notes, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was
applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of

                                      -9-
<Page>

twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of
days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360.

       5. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

       In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to
Section 2 or 3 hereof, the Issuers shall effect such registrations to permit the
sale of the securities covered thereby in accordance with the intended method or
methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in connection with any
Registration Statement filed thereunder, the Issuers shall:

       (a) Prepare and file with the SEC prior to the applicable Filing Date a
Registration Statement or Registration Statements as prescribed by Section 2 or
3 hereof, and use their reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration
Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if (1) such filing is pursuant to Section 3 hereof or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant
to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any
Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the
Applicable Period relating thereto from whom the Issuers have received prior
written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange
Offer, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments
or supplements thereto the Issuers shall furnish to and afford the Holders of
the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement (with respect to a
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof) or each such
Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement),
as the case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, a
reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies
of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits
thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least five Business Days prior to
such filing). The Issuers shall not file any Registration Statement or
Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto if the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such
Registration Statement, their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any,
shall reasonably object on a timely basis.

       (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
amendments to each Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration
Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period, the Applicable
Period or until consummation of the Exchange Offer, as the case may be; cause
the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any prospectus supplement required
by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable
to each of them with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by
such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so
supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any securities being
sold by an Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus.

       (c) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or
(2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period relating thereto from whom any Issuer has received written
notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer,
notify the selling Holders of Registrable Notes (with respect to a Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof), or each such Participating
Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration Statement), as the case may
be, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly (but in any
event within one Business Day), and confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a
Prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been
filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment, when the same has become effective under the Securities Act
(including in such notice a

                                      -10-
<Page>

written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, at the sole expense
of the Issuers, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or
post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of
the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any
preliminary prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose,
(iii) if at any time when a Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be
delivered in connection with sales of the Registrable Notes or resales of
Exchange Notes by Participating Broker-Dealers the representations and
warranties of the Issuers contained in any agreement (including any underwriting
agreement) contemplated by Section 5(m) hereof cease to be true and correct,
(iv) of the receipt by the Issuers of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the
Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating
Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any
event, the existence of any condition or any information becoming known that
makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or
any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference
untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in or
amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or
documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (vi) of the
Issuers' determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement would be appropriate.

       (d) Use their reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any
order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order
preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification
(or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Notes or the
Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale in any
jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use their reasonable best
efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest practicable
moment.

       (e) If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 and if
requested during the Effectiveness Period by the managing underwriter or
underwriters (if any), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Registrable Notes being sold in connection with an underwritten offering
or any Participating Broker-Dealer, (i) as promptly as practicable incorporate
in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the
managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), such Holders, any Participating
Broker-Dealer or counsel for any of them reasonably request to be included
therein, (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received
notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment, and (iii) supplement or make amendments to such
Registration Statement.

       (f) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or
(2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period, furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable Notes (with
respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof) and to
each such Participating Broker-Dealer who so requests (with respect to any such
Registration Statement) and to their respective counsel and each managing
underwriter, if any, at the sole expense of the Issuers, one conformed copy of
the Registration Statement or Registration Statements and each post-effective
amendment thereto,

                                      -11-
<Page>

including financial statements and schedules, and, if requested, all documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits.

       (g) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or
(2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period, deliver to each selling Holder of Registrable Notes (with
respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof), or each
such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration
Statement), as the case may be, their respective counsel, and the underwriters,
if any, at the sole expense of the Issuers, as many copies of the Prospectus or
Prospectuses (including each form of preliminary prospectus) and each amendment
or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein as
such Persons may reasonably request; and, subject to the last paragraph of this
Section 5, the Issuers hereby consent to the use of such Prospectus and each
amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable
Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the
underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the
offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale by
Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes pursuant to, such Prospectus
and any amendment or supplement thereto.

       (h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Notes or any delivery of
a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by any
Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the
Applicable Period, use their reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and
to cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the
registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or
qualification) of such Registrable Notes for offer and sale under the securities
or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder, Participating
Broker-Dealer, or the managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request in
writing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that where Exchange Notes held by Participating
Broker-Dealers or Registrable Notes are offered other than through an
underwritten offering, the Issuers agree to cause their counsel to perform Blue
Sky investigations and file registrations and qualifications required to be
filed pursuant to this Section 5(h), keep each such registration or
qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such
Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and all other
acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or the
Registrable Notes covered by the applicable Registration Statement; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no Issuer shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do
business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any
action that would subject it to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation
in excess of a nominal dollar amount in any such jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject.

       (i) If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes and the managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Exchange Notes to be sold, which
certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends and shall be in a form
eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company; and enable such Exchange
Notes to be in such denominations (subject to applicable requirements contained
in the Indenture) and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, or Holders may request.

       (j) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or
(2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by

                                      -12-
<Page>

paragraph 5(c)(v) or 5(c)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable prepare and
(subject to Section 5(a) hereof) file with the SEC, at the sole expense of the
Issuers, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes being
sold thereunder (with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 3 hereof) or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom such
Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to
any such Registration Statement), any such Prospectus will not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

       (k) Use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Notes
covered by a Registration Statement or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be,
to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Notes covered by such
Registration Statement or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, or the
managing underwriter or underwriters, if any.

       (l) Prior to the effective date of the first Registration Statement
relating to the Registrable Notes, (i) provide the Trustee with certificates for
the Exchange Notes in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust
Company and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the Exchange Notes.

       (m) In connection with any underwritten offering of Registrable Notes
pursuant to a Shelf Registration, enter into an underwriting agreement as is
customary in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the
Securities, and take all such other actions as are reasonably requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the
registration or the disposition of such Registrable Notes and, in such
connection, (i) make such representations and warranties to, and covenants with,
the underwriters with respect to the business of the Issuers (including any
acquired business, properties or entity, if applicable), and the Registration
Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference therein, in each case, as are customarily made by
Issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to
the Securities, and confirm the same in writing if and when requested; (ii)
obtain the written opinions of counsel to the Issuers, and written updates
thereof in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing
underwriter or underwriters, addressed to the underwriters covering the matters
customarily covered in opinions reasonably requested in underwritten offerings;
(iii) obtain "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof in form, scope and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters
from the independent certified public accountants of the Issuers (and, if
necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of the Issuers, or
of any business acquired by the Issuers, for which financial statements and
financial data are, or are required to be, included or incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, such
letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily
covered in "cold comfort" letters in connection with underwritten offerings of
debt securities similar to the Securities; and (iv) if an underwriting agreement
is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification provisions and
procedures no less favorable to the sellers and underwriters, if any, than those
set forth in Section 7 hereof (or such other provisions and procedures
reasonably acceptable to Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement and the managing
underwriter or underwriters or agents, if any). The above shall be done at each
closing under such underwriting agreement, or as and to the extent required
thereunder.

       (n) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or
(2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell

                                      -13-
<Page>

Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, make available for inspection by
any Initial Purchaser, any selling Holder of such Registrable Notes being sold
(with respect to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof),
or each such Participating Broker-Dealer (with respect to any such Registration
Statement), as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such
disposition of Registrable Notes, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by any such selling Holder or each such Participating
Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or underwriter (any such Initial Purchasers,
Holders, Participating Broker-Dealers, underwriters, attorneys, accountants or
agents, collectively, the "INSPECTORS"), upon written request, at the offices
where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all pertinent financial
and other records, pertinent corporate documents and instruments of the Issuers
and subsidiaries of Issuers (collectively, the "RECORDS"), as shall be
reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence
responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Issuers
and any of their respective subsidiaries to supply all information
("INFORMATION") reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with
such due diligence responsibilities. Each Inspector shall agree in writing that
it will keep the Records and Information confidential and that it will not
disclose any of the Records or Information that any Issuer determines, in good
faith, to be confidential and notifies the Inspectors in writing are
confidential unless (i) the disclosure of such Records or Information is
necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus that the Issuers would be required to correct or avoid
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the release of such Records or
Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of
competent jurisdiction, or (iii) the information in such Records or Information
has been made generally available to the public other than by an Inspector or an
"affiliate" (as defined in Rule 405) thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that prior
notice shall be provided as soon as practicable to any Issuer of the potential
disclosure of any information by such Inspector pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii)
of this sentence to permit the Issuers to obtain a protective order (or waive
the provisions of this paragraph (m)) and that such Inspector shall take such
actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such
information (if practicable) to the extent such action is otherwise not
inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests
of the Holder or any Inspector.

       (o) Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes or the
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture or the trust
indenture provided for in Section 2(a) hereof, as the case may be, to be
qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first
Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Notes; and in connection
therewith, cooperate with the trustee under any such indenture and the Holders
of the Registrable Notes, to effect such changes (if any) to such indenture as
may be required for such indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the
terms of the TIA; and execute, and use their reasonable best efforts to cause
such trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such
changes, and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to
enable such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.

       (p) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make
generally available to its securityholders with regard to any applicable
Registration Statement, a consolidated earning statement satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or
any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45 days
after the end of any fiscal quarter (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month
period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal
quarter in which Registrable Notes are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment
or best efforts underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in
such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the
Company, after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements
shall cover said 12-month periods.

       (q) Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange, obtain
an opinion of counsel for the Issuers, in a form customary for underwritten
transactions, addressed to the Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of
Registrable Notes participating in the Exchange Offer or the

                                      -14-
<Page>

Private Exchange, as the case may be, that (i) the Exchange Notes or Private
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the related indenture constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
accordance with their terms, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications,
and the Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes are entitled to the benefits
of the Indenture and (ii) the guarantees constitute legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Guarantors, enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance
with their terms, subject to customary exception and qualifications, and the
guarantees are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. If the Exchange Offer
or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable
Notes by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the
Company), in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as
the case may be, the Issuers shall mark, or cause to be marked, on such
Registrable Notes that such Registrable Notes are being cancelled in exchange
for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be; in no
event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.

       (r) Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any
Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the
disposition of such Registrable Notes and their respective counsel in connection
with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD").

       (s) Use their reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary
to effect the registration of the Exchange Notes and/or Registrable Notes
covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

       The Issuers may require each seller of Registrable Notes as to which any
registration is being effected to furnish to the Issuers such information
regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable Notes as the
Issuers may, from time to time, reasonably request. The Issuers may exclude from
such registration the Registrable Notes of any seller so long as such seller
fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such
request. Each seller as to which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees
to furnish promptly to the Issuers all information required to be disclosed in
order to make the information previously furnished to the Issuers by such seller
not materially misleading.

       If any such Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or
otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall
have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, to the effect that the holding
by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by
such Holder of the investment quality of the securities covered thereby and that
such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future
financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference
to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any
similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such
Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or
prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to be required.

       Each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer
agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold
by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon actual
receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind
described in Section 5(c)(ii), 5(c)(iv), 5(c)(v), or 5(c)(vi) hereof, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Notes covered
by such Registration Statement or Prospectus or Exchange Notes to be sold by
such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, until such
Holder's or Participating Broker-Dealer's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(j) hereof, or until
it is advised in writing (the "ADVICE")

                                      -15-
<Page>

by the Issuers that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has

       7. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

       (a) Each of the Issuers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Notes, each Participating Broker-Dealer
selling Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period and each underwriter who
participates in an offering of Registrable Notes (each, a "PARTICIPANT"), their
respective directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls such
Person or its affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which any Participant or any such director, officer or

                                      -16-
<Page>

controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act
or otherwise, insofar as any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

            (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
       fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)
       or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Issuers shall have
       furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary
       prospectus; or

            (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state, (a) in any
       Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), a material fact
       required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
       not misleading or (b) in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if
       the Issuers shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto)
       or any preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, a
       material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
       circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

and will reimburse, as incurred, the Participant or any such director, officer
or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such party in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a
third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action; provided, HOWEVER, the Issuers will not be liable in any such case to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, or liability arises out of or is
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)
or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Issuers shall have furnished
any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus in reliance
upon and in conformity with information relating to any Participant furnished to
the Issuers by such Participant specifically for use therein.

       (b) Each Participant, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each of the Issuers, their respective directors, officers and each
Person, if any, who controls any of the Issuers within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which any of the Issuers or any such director,
officer or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any preliminary prospectus, or (ii) the omission or the 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 concerning such Participant, furnished to
the Issuers by the Participant, specifically for use therein; and subject to the
limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, will reimburse, as
incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuers or any
such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or
defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof.

       (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7
of notice of the commencement of any action for which such indemnified party is
entitled to indemnification under this Section 7, such indemnified party will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof in
writing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the omission to so notify the indemnifying party
will not relieve the indemnifying party with respect to any indemnity which may
be sought hereunder to the extent the indemnifying party is not materially
prejudiced as a result thereof, and in any event shall not relieve it

                                      -17-
<Page>

from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity
agreement. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and
it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the defendants in any such action include both
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying
party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of
such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall
have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of
such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to
such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and
approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action,
the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section 7 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of
investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence (it being understood, however, that in connection with such action the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) in any one action or separate
but substantially similar actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the
same general allegations or circumstances, designated by Participants who sold a
majority in interest of the Registrable Notes and Exchange Notes sold by all
such Participants in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 7, representing
the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action
or actions) or (ii) the indemnifying party has authorized in writing the
employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the
indemnifying party. All fees and expenses reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph
(c) shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. After such notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be
liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by
such indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party. No
indemnifying party or parties shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party or parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of
any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in
respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder by such indemnified
party (whether or not such indemnified party is a party to such claim, action or
proceeding), unless (1) such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out
of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include any statement
as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of
any indemnified party.

       (d) In circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in the
preceding paragraphs of this Section 7 is unavailable to, or insufficient to
hold harmless, an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), each indemnifying party, in order
to provide for just and equitable contribution, 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 or parties
on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that 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 the
parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers
or such Participant, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or
alleged statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations
appropriate in the circumstances. The parties agree that it would not be
equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per
capita

                                      -18-
<Page>

allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to above in this paragraph (d).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (d), no Participant shall
be obligated to make contributions hereunder that in the aggregate exceed the
total net profit received by such Participant in connection with the sale of the
Registrable Notes, less the aggregate amount of any damages that such
Participant has otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same or any
substantially similar claim, and 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
pursuant to this paragraph (d) are several and not joint. For purposes of this
paragraph (d), each director or officer of a Participant and each Person, if
any, who controls a Participant within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Participants, and each director of any of the Issuers, each
officer of the Issuers and each Person, if any, who controls any of the Issuers
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuers.

       (e) The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party of law or in equity.

       8. RULES 144 AND 144A

       Each of the Issuers covenants and agrees that it will file the reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in a timely manner in
accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and,
if at any time such Issuer is not required to file such reports, such Issuer
will, upon the request of any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Notes,
make available such information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A.
The Company further covenants and agrees, for so long as any Registrable Notes
remain outstanding that it will take such further action as any Holder of
Registrable Notes may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time
to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Notes without registration
under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by
Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act and Rule 144A.

       9. UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS

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

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

       10. MISCELLANEOUS

       (a) NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Issuers have not, as of the date
hereof, and shall not, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any
agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Notes in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 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 Issuers' other issued

                                      -19-
<Page>

and outstanding securities under any such agreements. The Issuers will not enter
into any agreement with respect to any of its securities which will grant to any
Person piggy-back registration rights with respect to any Registration
Statement.

       (b) AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written
consent of (i) the Company, and (ii) (A) the Holders of not less than a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Notes and (B)
in circumstances that would adversely affect the Participating Broker-Dealers,
the Participating Broker-Dealers holding not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Exchange Notes held by all Participating Broker-Dealers;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Section 7 and this Section 10(c) may not be amended,
modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Holder and
each Participating Broker-Dealer (including any person who was a Holder or
Participating Broker-Dealer of Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case
may be, disposed of pursuant to any Registration Statement) affected by any such
amendment, modification or supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver
or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that
relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Notes whose
securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not
directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other
Holders of Registrable Notes may be given by Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold pursuant to such
Registration Statement.

       (c) NOTICES. All notices and other communications (including, without
limitation, any notices or other communications to the Trustee) provided for or

                            C. WILLIAM LANDEFELD
                            EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into as
of the 7th day of November, 2004, by and between MAIN STREET TRUST, INC., a
Delaware Corporation ("MSTI") and C. WILLIAM LANDEFELD ("EMPLOYEE") and shall
be effective immediately upon the consummation of the merger of MSTI,
Citizens First Financial Corp. and Citizens Acquisition LLC (the "EFFECTIVE
DATE").

                                  RECITALS

     A.     MSTI desires to employ Employee as an Executive Vice President of
MSTI.

     B.     Employee desires to be employed as an Executive Vice President of
MSTI.

     C.     MSTI and Employee have made commitments to each other on a
variety of important issues concerning Employee's employment, including the
performance that will be expected of Employee, the compensation that Employee
will be paid, how long and under what circumstances Employee will remain
employed, and the financial details relating to any decision that either
Employee or MSTI might ever make to terminate Employee's employment.

     D.     MSTI and Employee believe that the commitments they have made to
each other should be memorialized in writing, and that is the purpose of this
Agreement.

     THEREFORE, MSTI and Employee agree as follows:

                                  AGREEMENTS

     SECTION 1.     TERM.  The term of this Agreement and Employee's
employment hereunder will be two (2) years commencing as of the Effective
Date unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement.

     SECTION 2.     EMPLOYMENT.

            (a)     POSITIONS.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, MSTI
hereby employs Employee, and Employee agrees to serve as an Executive Vice
President of MSTI or in such other capacities with MSTI or its subsidiaries
as the Board of Directors deems appropriate in its sole discretion, under the
terms and conditions set forth herein as of the Effective Date.

            (b)     DUTIES.  Employee's duties, authority and responsibilities
as an Executive Vice President of MSTI include all duties, authority and
responsibilities customarily held by such officer of comparable companies,
subject always to the charter and bylaw provisions and the policies of MSTI
and the directions of the President and Chief Executive Officer of MSTI.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, MSTI shall not be
under any obligation to provide Employee with any work, and MSTI may at any
time suspend Employee and/or exclude him from any and all premises of MSTI
and its affiliates, provided that Employee shall continue to be treated as an
employee of MSTI, and his Base Salary (as defined below) and other benefits
shall continue to be paid or provided by MSTI in accordance with the terms of
this

<Page>

Agreement.  If requested by MSTI in connection with the placement of Employee
on leave or suspension of Employee from MSTI's premises pursuant to the
preceding sentence, Employee agrees to resign from the position he holds as
an Executive Vice President of MSTI.

            (c)     CARE AND LOYALTY.  Employee will devote Employee's best
efforts and full business time, energy, skills and attention to the business
and affairs of MSTI and its subsidiaries, and will faithfully and loyally
discharge Employee's duties to MSTI and its subsidiaries.

            (d)     TRANSFERS.  The Board may, in its sole discretion, cause
Employee's employment to be transferred from MSTI to any wholly owned
subsidiary, in which case all references in this Agreement to "MSTI" will be
deemed to refer to such subsidiary, provided that Employee shall not be
required to relocate to an MSTI office outside of Bloomington, Illinois.

     SECTION 3.     COMPENSATION.  MSTI will compensate Employee for Employee's
services as follows during the term of this Agreement and Employee's employment
hereunder:

            (a)     BASE COMPENSATION.  Employee's annual base salary will be
$150,000 ("Base Salary").

            (b)     REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES.  MSTI will reimburse Employee
for all travel, entertainment and other out-of-pocket expenses that Employee
reasonably and necessarily incurs in the performance of Employee's duties.
Employee will document these expenses to the extent necessary to comply with
all applicable laws and internal policies.

            (c)     OTHER BENEFITS.  Employee will be entitled to participate
in all plans and benefits that are now or later made available by MSTI to all
its employees.  Employee shall be entitled to at least four (4) weeks of
vacation time under MSTI's vacation policy.

            (d)     WITHHOLDING.  Employee acknowledges that MSTI may
withhold any applicable federal, state or local withholding or other taxes
from payments that become due or allowances that are provided to Employee.

    SECTION 4.     TERMINATION.

            (a)     TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE.  Either MSTI or Employee may
terminate this Agreement and Employee's employment hereunder for any reason
by delivering written notice of termination to the other party no less than
ninety (90) days before the effective date of termination, which date will be
specified in the notice of termination.  If Employee voluntarily terminates
Employee's employment under this Agreement, then MSTI shall only be required
to pay Employee such Base Salary as shall have accrued through the effective
date of such termination and MSTI shall have no further obligations to
Employee.

            (b)     TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.  MSTI may terminate this Agreement
and Employee's employment hereunder for Cause by delivering written notice of
termination to Employee no less than thirty (30) days before the effective
date of termination.  "Cause" for termination will exist if:  (i) Employee
engages in one or more unsafe and unsound banking practices or material
violations of a law or regulation applicable to MSTI or its subsidiaries, any
repeated violations of a policy of MSTI after being warned in writing by the
Board and/or a senior

                                       2

<Page>

officer not to violate such policy, any single violation of a policy of MSTI
if such violation materially and adversely affects the business or affairs of
MSTI, or a direction or order of the Board and/or one of Employee's senior
officers; (ii) Employee engages in a breach of fiduciary duty or act of
dishonesty involving the affairs of MSTI; (iii) Employee is removed or
suspended from banking pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act or any other applicable State or Federal law; or (iv) Employee
commits a material breach of Employee's obligations under this Agreement.  If
Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to this Section 4(b), then MSTI
shall only be required to pay Employee such Base Salary as shall have accrued
through the effective date of such termination and MSTI shall have no further
obligations to Employee.

            (c)     TERMINATION UPON DISABILITY.  MSTI will not terminate
this Agreement and Employee's employment hereunder if Employee becomes
disabled within the meaning of MSTI's then current employee disability
program or, at MSTI's election, as determined by a physician selected by
MSTI, unless as a result of such disability, Employee is unable to perform
Employee's duties with the requisite level of skill and competence for a
period of six (6) consecutive months.  Thereafter, MSTI may terminate this
Agreement for Cause in accordance with Subsection 4(b)(v).

            (d)     TERMINATION UPON DEATH.  This Agreement will terminate if
Employee dies during the term of this Agreement, effective on the date of
Employee's death.  Any payments that are owing to Employee under this
Agreement or otherwise at the time of Employee's death will be made to
whomever Employee may designate in writing as Employee's beneficiary, or
absent such a designation, to the executor or administrator of Employee's
estate.

            (e)     SEVERANCE BENEFITS. MSTI will pay severance benefits to
Employee as follows:

                    (i)     If this Agreement and Employee's employment
hereunder are terminated by MSTI without Cause pursuant to Section 4(a), MSTI
will pay Employee an amount equal to Employee's then applicable annual Base
Salary through the remaining term of this Agreement as provided in Section 1
(the "Severance Payment").  If the effective date of termination occurs
before the last day of the term of this Agreement as provided in Section 1,
the Severance Payment will also include the value of the contributions that
would have been made to Employee or for Employee's benefit under all
applicable retirement and other employee benefit plans had Employee remained
in MSTI's employ through the last day of the term.  MSTI will also continue
to provide Employee and Employee's dependents, at the expense of MSTI, with
continuing coverage under existing health programs for the remaining term of
this Agreement (or such shorter period during which Employee is eligible for
and elects coverage under COBRA, as defined below), provided that, to the
extent Employee paid a portion of the premium for such benefit while employed
Employee shall continue to pay such portion during the period of continuation
hereunder and provided further, that if such benefit is subject to the health
care continuation rules of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1985 ("COBRA") then any period of continuation hereunder shall be credited
against the continuation rights under COBRA and Employee will be required to
complete all COBRA election and other forms.

                                       3

<Page>

                    (ii)    All payments that become due to Employee under
this Section 4(e) will be made in equal monthly installments commencing on
the first day of the month immediately succeeding Employee's termination of
employment and continuing through the remaining term of this Agreement,
unless MSTI elects to make those payments in one (1) lump sum.  MSTI will be
obligated to make all payments that become due to Employee under this Section
4(e) whether or not Employee obtains other employment following termination
or takes steps to mitigate any damages that Employee claims to have sustained
as a result of termination.  The payments and other benefits provided for in
this Section 4(e) are intended to supplement any compensation or other
benefits that have accrued or vested with respect to Employee or for
Employee's account as of the effective date of termination.

                    (iii)   MSTI may elect to defer any payments that may
become due to Employee under this Section 4(e) if, at the time the payments
become due, MSTI is not in compliance with any regulatory-mandated minimum
capital requirements or if making the payments would cause MSTI's capital to
fall below such minimum capital requirements.  In this event, MSTI will
resume making the payments as soon as it can do so without violating such
minimum capital requirements.

            (f)     PAYMENT EQUALIZATION.  If MSTI is paying, or in the case
of a lump sum, has paid, Employee a Severance Payment under Section 4(e),
then Employee agrees to not seek or apply for unemployment compensation under
the Illinois Unemployment Act 820 ILCS 405/100 et seq. or any other state or
federal unemployment compensation law at any time prior to a date following
the final payment made hereunder or with respect to the period during which
such payments were or were to be made until the final payment is made.

            (g)     RELEASE.  As a condition to MSTI's obligation to pay any
Severance Payment under Section 4(e), Employee agrees that Employee will
execute a general release of MSTI and its affiliates, substantially in the
form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.

     SECTION 5.     CONFIDENTIALITY.  Employee acknowledges that the nature
of Employee's employment will require that Employee produce and have access
to records, data, trade secrets and information that are not available to the
public regarding MSTI and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION").  Employee will hold in confidence and not directly or
indirectly disclose any Confidential Information to third parties unless
disclosure becomes reasonably necessary in connection with Employee's
performance of Employee's duties hereunder, or the Confidential Information
lawfully becomes available to the public from other sources, or Employee is
authorized in writing by MSTI to disclose it, or Employee is required to make
disclosure by a law or pursuant to the authority of any administrative agency
or judicial body.  All Confidential Information and all other records, files,
documents and other materials or copies thereof relating to the business of
MSTI or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that Employee prepares or uses
will always be the sole property of MSTI.  Employee will promptly return all
originals and copies of such Confidential Information and other records,
files, documents and other materials to MSTI if Employee's employment with
MSTI is terminated for any reason.

     SECTION 6.     NON-COMPETITION COVENANT.

            (a)     RESTRICTIVE COVENANT.  MSTI and Employee have jointly
reviewed the customer lists and operations of MSTI and agree that MSTI's
primary service area for its

                                       4

<Page>

lending, deposit and wealth management activities encompasses the fifty (50)
mile radii from each of MSTI's main office in Champaign, Illinois and the
branch offices of MSTI and its subsidiary banks.  Employee agrees that, for a
period of one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement, Employee will
not, without MSTI's prior written consent, directly or indirectly Compete
with MSTI.  For the purposes of Section 6(a):

                    (i)     "COMPETE" means directly or indirectly owning,
managing, operating or controlling a Competitor, or directly or indirectly
serving as an employee, officer or director of or a consultant to a
Competitor, or soliciting or inducing any employee or agent of MSTI to
terminate employment with MSTI or any of its subsidiaries and become employed
by a Competitor, or by soliciting or inducing any customer, wherever located,
of MSTI or its subsidiary banks with whom Employee had contact during
Employee's employment to modify or terminate its relationship with the
Company or its subsidiary banks.

                    (ii)    "COMPETITOR" means any person, firm, partnership,
corporation, trust or other entity that owns, controls or is a bank, savings
and loan association, credit union or similar financial institution or
financial planning, brokerage or investment firm (collectively, a "FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION") that is physically located and conducts lending, deposit and
wealth management activities within the fifty (50) mile radii from each of
MSTI's main office in Champaign, Illinois and of its subsidiary banks.

            (b)     SUCCESSORS.  In the event that a successor to MSTI
succeeds to or assumes MSTI's rights and obligations under this Agreement,
Section 6(a) will apply only to the primary service areas of MSTI as they
existed immediately before the succession or assumption occurred and will not
apply to any of the successor's other offices.

            (c)     INVESTMENT EXCEPTION.  Section 6(a) will not prohibit
Employee from directly or indirectly owning or acquiring any capital stock or
similar securities that are listed on a securities exchange or quoted on the
NASDAQ and do not represent more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding
capital stock of any Financial Institution.

            (d)     INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  Employee agrees that a violation of
this Section 6 would result in direct, immediate and irreparable harm to
MSTI, and in such event, agrees that MSTI, in addition to its other right and
remedies, would be entitled to injunctive relief enforcing the terms and
provisions of this Section 6.

     SECTION 7.     GENERAL PROVISIONS.

            (a)     SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNMENT.  This Agreement will be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of Employee, MSTI and their respective personal
representatives, successors and assigns.  For the purposes of this Agreement,
any successor or assign of MSTI shall be deemed to be "MSTI."  MSTI will
require any successor or assign of MSTI or any direct or indirect purchaser
or acquiror of all or substantially all of the business, assets or
liabilities of MSTI, whether by transfer, purchase, merger, consolidation,
stock acquisition or otherwise, to assume and agree in writing to perform
this Agreement and MSTI's obligations hereunder in the same manner and to the
same extent as MSTI would have been required to perform them if no such
transaction had occurred.

            (b)     ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL.  This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement between Employee and MSTI concerning the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes

                                       5

<Page>

all prior negotiations, undertakings, agreements and arrangements with
respect thereto, whether written or oral (including but not limited to any
employment agreements with Citizens First Financial Corp. or any of its
subsidiaries).  The provisions of this Agreement will be regarded as
divisible and separate; if any provision is ever declared invalid or
unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions
will not be affected.  In the event any provision of this Agreement
(including, but not limited to, any provision of the covenant not to compete
set forth in Section 6) is held to be overbroad as written, such provision
shall be deemed to be amended to narrow the application of such provision to
the extent necessary to make such provision enforceable  according to
applicable law.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a
writing signed by Employee and MSTI.  The parties acknowledge and agree that
the obligations under Section 5 (Confidentiality) and Section 6
(Non-Competition Covenant) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

            (c)     GOVERNING LAW AND ENFORCEMENT.  This Agreement will be
construed and the legal relations of the parties hereto shall be determined
in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without reference to the
law regarding conflicts of law.

            (d)     ARBITRATION.  Any dispute or controversy arising under or
in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration
conducted at a location selected by MSTI within fifty (50) miles from
Champaign, Illinois, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association.

            (e)     LEGAL FEES.  All reasonable legal fees paid or incurred
in connection with any dispute or question of interpretation relating to this
Agreement shall be paid to the party who is successful on the merits by the
other party.

            (f)     WAIVER.  No waiver by either party at any time of any
breach by the other party of, or compliance with, any condition or provision
of this Agreement to be performed by the other party, shall be deemed a
waiver of any similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same time
or any prior or subsequent time.

            (g)     NOTICES.  Notices pursuant to this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given when received; and, if mailed, shall be
mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid; and if to MSTI, addressed to the principal
headquarters of MSTI, attention: President and Chief Executive Officer; or,
if to Employee, to the address set forth below Employee's signature on this
Agreement, or to such other address as the party to be notified shall have
given to the other.

                              AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

     SECTION 2.     PAYMENT AND BENEFITS.  In consideration of the promises
made in this Agreement, the Employer has agreed to pay Employee the
compensation and benefits as provided in the Employment Agreement entered
into between Employee and the Employer on ______________________. Employee
expressly agrees, understands and acknowledges that the pay provided

whether in their individual or official capacities and the current and former
trustees or administrators of any retirement or other benefit plan applicable
to the employees or former employees of the Employer, in their official and
individual capacities from any and all liability, claims and demands,

limited to, defamation, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional
distress, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, promissory
estoppel, and negligence.  Employee represents that Employee has not assigned

any false, negative, critical or disparaging statements, implied or
expressed, concerning the other, including, but not limited to, management
style, methods of doing business, the quality of products and services, role
in the community, or treatment of employees.  Employee acknowledges that the
only persons whose statements may be attributed to the Employer for purposes
of this Agreement not to make disparaging statements shall be each member of

attorney.  Moreover, Employee hereby acknowledges that Employee has been
afforded the opportunity to be advised by legal counsel regarding the terms
of this Agreement, including the release of all claims and waiver of rights
set forth in Section 3.  Employee acknowledges that Employee has been offered
at least twenty-one (21) days to consider this Agreement.  After being so
advised, and without coercion of any kind, Employee freely, knowingly, and
voluntarily enters into this Agreement.  Employee further acknowledges that
Employee may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days after Employee has
signed this Agreement and further understands that this Agreement shall not
become effective or enforceable until seven (7) days after Employee has

directed to the Employer, _____________________________, __________, Illinois
___________, Attention:  ___________________.  If sent by mail, any

that Employee has returned all property of the Employer that is in Employee's
possession, custody or control, including all documents, records and tangible
property that are not publicly available and reflect, refer or relate to the
Employer or the Employer's business affairs, operations or customers, and all
copies of the foregoing.

     SECTION 6.     NO ADMISSIONS.  The Employer denies that it or any of its
employees or agents have taken any improper action against Employee, and
Employee agrees that this Agreement shall not be admissible in any proceeding
as evidence of improper action by the Employer or any of their employees or
agents.

     SECTION 7.     CONFIDENTIALITY.  Employee and the Employer agree to keep
the existence and the terms of this Agreement confidential, except for
Employee's immediate family members or their legal or tax advisors in

or in connection with the preparation of tax returns.

     SECTION 8.     NON-WAIVER.  The Employer's waiver of a breach of this
