                              (REVERSE OF SECURITY)

                  6-3/4% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2015

            (5)   Interest. The Company will pay interest on the principal
                  amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above.
                  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date on
                  which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
                  from February 8, 2005. The Company will pay interest
                  semi-annually in arrears in cash on each Interest Payment
                  Date, commencing August 15, 2005. Interest will be computed on
                  the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

      The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue
installments of interest from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the
Notes plus 2% per annum and on overdue installments of interest (without regard
to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

            (6)   Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes
                  (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the
                  registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date
                  immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if the
                  Notes are cancelled on registration of transfer or
                  registration of exchange after such Record Date. Holders must
                  surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal
                  payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in
                  money of the United States that at the time of payment is
                  legal tender for payment of public and private debts ("U.S.
                  Legal Tender"). The Company will pay principal and premium, if
                  any, on the Notes at the Trustee's office or, at the Company's
                  option, by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee
                  with a bank located in the United States. At the Company's
                  option, interest may be paid at the Trustee's office, by check
                  mailed to the registered address of Holders or by wire
                  transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
                  located in the United States.

            (7)   Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, the Trustee will act as
                  Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying
                  Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the
                  Holders.

            (8)   Indenture and Guarantee. The Company issued the Notes under an
                  Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2005 (as amended and
                  supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), among the
                  Company, Del Monte Foods Company ("Holdings"), the Subsidiary
                  Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture, and collectively with
                  Holdings, the "Guarantors") and Deutsche Bank Trust Company
                  Americas, as Trustee (the "Trustee," which term includes any
                  successor Trustee under the Indenture). This Note is one of a
                  duly authorized issue of initial Notes of the Company
                  designated as its 6-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015
                  (the "Initial

                                      A-5
<PAGE>

                  Notes"). The Initial Notes are limited in aggregate principal
                  amount to $250,000,000. Subject to compliance with the
                  covenants in the Indenture and to applicable law, the Company
                  may issue additional notes (the "Additional Notes") under the
                  Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes, the Additional
                  Notes and the Exchange Notes, as defined below, issued in
                  exchange for Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial
                  Notes, Additional Notes and the Exchange Notes are treated as
                  a single class of securities under the Indenture. Terms herein
                  are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined
                  herein. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the
                  Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to
                  the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections
                  77aaa-77bbbb), as amended (the "TIA"), as in effect on the
                  date of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the
                  contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and
                  Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for
                  a statement of such terms, including the respective rights,
                  duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
                  Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and the
                  terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated
                  and delivered. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of
                  the Company. Payment on each Note is guaranteed on a
                  subordinated basis by Holdings and on a senior subordinated
                  basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to Article Eleven
                  of the Indenture. The guarantees of the Notes by the
                  Subsidiary Guarantors will be released in certain
                  circumstances set forth in the Indenture.

            (9)   Subordination. The Notes are subordinated in right of payment,
                  in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to
                  the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all
                  Senior Debt of the Company, whether outstanding on the date of
                  the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or
                  guaranteed. Each Holder by his acceptance hereof agrees to be
                  bound by such provisions and authorizes and expressly directs
                  the Trustee and the Paying Agent, on his behalf, to take such
                  action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the
                  subordination provided for in the Indenture and appoints the
                  Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purposes.

            (10)  Redemption.

            (11)  Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable, at the
                  Company's option, in whole at any time or in part from time to
                  time, on and after February 15, 2010, upon not less than 30
                  nor more than 60 days' notice, at the following Redemption
                  Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of

                  period commencing on February 15 of the years set forth below,
                  plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if
                  any, to the Redemption Date, except that installments of
                  interest which are due and payable on dates falling on or
                  prior to the applicable Redemption Date

                  from time to time, on or prior to February 15, 2008, the
                  Company may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one
                  or more Equity Offerings to redeem Notes in an aggregate
                  principal amount equal to up to 35% of the aggregate principal
                  amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes but excluding
                  the Exchange Notes) originally issued at a Redemption Price
                  equal to 106.750% of the principal amount of the Notes to be
                  redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to
                  the Redemption Date, except that installments of interest
                  which are due and payable on dates falling on or prior to the
                  applicable Redemption Date will be payable to the persons who
                  were the Holders of record at the close of business on the
                  relevant Record Dates; provided that Notes in aggregate
                  principal amount equal to at least 65% of the principal amount
                  of Notes (excluding any Additional Notes and also excluding
                  the Exchange Notes) originally issued remains outstanding
                  immediately after any such redemption.

      In order to effect the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any
Equity Offering, the Company shall make such redemption not more than 150 days
after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

            (13)  Optional Redemption Upon Change of Control. At any time, on or
                  prior to February 15, 2010, the Company may, at its option,
                  redeem the Notes, in whole, upon the occurrence of a Change of
                  Control, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior
                  notice (but in no event more than 90 days after the occurrence
                  of such Change of Control) mailed by first-class mail to each
                  Holder's registered address, at a Redemption Price equal to
                  100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus
                  the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest,
                  if any, to the date of redemption (the "Change of Control
                  Redemption Date"), except that installments of interest which
                  are due and payable on dates falling on or prior to the
                  applicable Change of Control Redemption Date shall be payable
                  to the persons who were the Holders of record at the close of
                  business on the relevant Record Dates.

      "Applicable Premium" means, with respect to a Note at any Change of
Control Redemption Date, the excess of (i) the present value at such Change of
Control Redemption Date of (A) the Redemption Price of such Note at February 15,
2010, determined in accordance with

                                      A-7
<PAGE>

Section 6(a) hereof and Section 3.07(a) of the Indenture, plus (B) all required
interest payments due on such Note through February 15, 2010, computed using a
discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 0.5% per annum, over (ii) the
principal amount of such Note.

      "Treasury Rate" means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of
U.S. Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in
the most recent Federal Reserve Release H.15 (519) which has become publicly
available at least two Business Days prior to the Change of Control Redemption
Date (or, if such statistical release is no longer published, any publicly
available source or similar market data)) closest to the period from the Change
of Control Redemption Date to February 15, 2010; provided, however, that if the
period from the Change of Control Redemption Date to February 15, 2010 is not
equal to the constant maturity of a U.S. Treasury security for which a weekly
average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear
interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of one year) from the
weekly average yields of U.S. Treasury securities for which such yields are
given, except that if the period from the Change of Control Redemption Date to
February 15, 2010 is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually
traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year
shall be used.

            (14)  Notice of Redemption. (A) Notice of redemption will be mailed
                  at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
                  Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such
                  Holder's registered address. Notes in denominations larger
                  than $1,000 may be redeemed in part.

      Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the
Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for
redemption on such Redemption Date, then, unless the Company defaults in the
payment of such Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, the
Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such
Redemption Date and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to
receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any.

Offers to Purchase. Sections 4.15 and 4.16 of the Indenture provide that, after
certain Asset Sales (as defined in the Indenture) and upon the occurrence of a
Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), and subject to
further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to
purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set
forth in the Indenture.

Registration Rights. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined
in the Indenture), the Company will be obligated to consummate a registered
exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Note shall have the right to
exchange this Note for the Company's 6-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015
(the "Exchange Notes"), in like principal amount and having terms identical in
all material respects to the Initial Notes. The Holders of the Initial Notes and
Additional Notes shall be entitled to receive certain Additional Interest (as
defined in the Indenture) in the event such exchange offer is not consummated by
February 8, 2006 and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

                                      A-8

Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are in registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder
shall register the transfer of or exchange Notes in accordance with the
Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer
taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or
exchange of any Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption.

Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as the
owner of it for all purposes.

Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the money
back to the Company. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying
Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. If the Company at any time deposits
with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to
pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity and
complies with the other provisions of the Indenture relating thereto, the
Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture and the
Notes (including certain covenants, but excluding its obligation to pay the
principal of and interest on the Notes).

Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or
the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders
of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or noncompliance with
any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without
notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement
the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Notes, comply with Article Five of the Indenture, add guarantors
under the Indenture, or make any other change that does not adversely affect in
any material respect the rights of any Holder of a Note.

Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability
of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur
additional Indebtedness, make payments in respect of its Capital Stock or
certain Indebtedness, enter into transactions with Affiliates, create dividend
or other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries, merge or
consolidate with any other Person, sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan of
liquidation. Such limitations are subject to a number of important
qualifications and exceptions. The Company and Holdings must annually report to
the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

Successors. When a successor assumes, in accordance with the Indenture, all the
obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the
predecessor will be released from those obligations.

                                      A-9
<PAGE>

Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes
then outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due and payable in the manner,
at the time and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If certain bankruptcy
events relating to the Company or a Significant Subsidiary (as defined in the
Indenture) occur, the Notes shall immediately, without any action on the part of
the Holder, become due and payable. Holders of Notes may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not
obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain
limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of
any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of any
continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default in payment of principal
or interest and certain other specified Defaults) if it determines that
withholding notice is in their interest.

Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee.

No Recourse Against Others. No stockholder, director, officer, or employee, as
such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company
under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Note by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such LIABILITY. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes. The foregoing
provisions do not relate to the liability of Holdings as a Guarantor.

Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or an
Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on this
Note.

Governing Law. The Laws of the State of New York shall govern this Note and the
Indenture.

Abbreviations and Defined Terms. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name
of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common),
TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of
survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and UIGIMIA (=
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on
Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers
to be printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of the Notes. No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the
Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed hereon.

Indenture. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the
terms and provisions of the Indenture, as the same may be amended from time to
time.

      The Company will furnish to any Holder of a Note upon written request and
without charge a copy of the Indenture, which has the text of this Note in
larger type. Requests may be

Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause
to be filed as promptly as reasonably practicable an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement covering the offer by the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary

commence the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and use their commercially
reasonable efforts to have the Exchange Offer consummated not later than 60 days

      tendered will be accepted for exchange;

            (ii)  the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period

      rights under this Registration Rights Agreement;

            (iv)  that Holders electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged
      pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender such
      Registrable Security, together with the enclosed letters of transmittal,
      to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of
      Manhattan, The City of New York) specified in the notice prior to the
      close of business on the last Exchange Date, provided, however, that, if
      any of the Registrable Securities are in book-entry form, such Prospectus
      and accompanying documents shall also specify how such surrender is to be
      effected in accordance with applicable book-entry procedures; and

            (v)   that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election, not
      later than the close of business on the last Exchange Date, by sending to
      the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan,
      The City of New York) specified in the notice a telegram, telex, facsimile
      transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the
      principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange and a

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

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

                                       5
<PAGE>

The Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall
comply with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and other
applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The
Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the
Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation
of the Staff of the SEC. The Company and Holdings shall inform the Placement
Agents of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is
made, and the Placement Agents shall have the right, subject to applicable law,
to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable
Securities in the Exchange Offer.

            (b)   In the event that (i) the Company and Holdings determine that
the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not
available or may not be consummated as soon as practicable after the last
Exchange Date because it would violate applicable law or the applicable
interpretations of the Staff of the SEC, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any
other reason consummated by February 8, 2006 or (iii) the Exchange Offer has
been completed and in the opinion of counsel for the Placement Agents, a copy of
which is forwarded to the Company, a Registration Statement must be filed and a
Prospectus must be delivered by the Placement Agents in connection with any
offering or sale of Registrable Securities, the Company, Holdings and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause
to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or
notification is given to the Company and Holdings, as the case may be, a Shelf
Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of all of the
Registrable Securities and to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared
effective by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable. In the event that
the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors are required to file a Shelf
Registration Statement solely as a result of the matters referred to in clause
(iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary
Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to file and have
declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Securities and a Shelf
Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of
Registrable Securities held by the Placement Agents after completion of the
Exchange Offer. The Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree to use
their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective until the expiration of the period referred to in Rule
144(k) under the 1933 Act with respect to the Registrable Securities or such
shorter period that will terminate when all of the Registrable Securities
covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement. The Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors
further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement if
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used by the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors
for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the 1933 Act or by any other rules
and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if reasonably requested by
a Holder with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use their
commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective
and such Shelf Registration Statement to become usable as soon thereafter as is
practicable. The Company and Holdings agree to furnish to the Holders of
Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after
its being used or filed with the SEC.

                                       6
<PAGE>

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

            (d)   An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section
2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof
will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared
effective by the SEC; provided, however, that, if, after it has been declared
effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other
order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such
Registration Statement will be deemed not to have become effective during the
period of such interference until the offering of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume; provided, further,
that if the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration
Statement is interfered with as described in this clause (d) by reason of any
information relating to a Holder furnished to the Company or Holdings in writing
by such Holder expressly for use in such Shelf Registration Statement, then the
provisions of the following sentence shall be inapplicable with respect to such
Holder. In the event the Exchange Offer is not consummated and the Shelf
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to February 8,
2006, the interest rate on the Securities will be increased by 0.5% per annum
until the Exchange Offer is consummated or the Shelf Registration Statement is
declared effective by the SEC.

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

            (f)   In the event that the Exchange Offer has been completed but
(i) at any time before or after completion of the Exchange Offer, any Securities
shall have been sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to an effective Shelf
Registration Statement or to the public pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar
rule then in force, but not Rule 144A) under the 1933 Act and, as a result,
shall have ceased to be Registrable Securities, or (ii) any Securities not
exchanged in the Exchange Offer shall otherwise have ceased to be Registrable
Securities, the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors will make
available to the Holders the opportunity to exchange such Securities for
identical Securities of like tenor and principal amount at maturity but bearing
the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Securities.

            3.    Registration Procedures.

            In connection with the obligations of the Company, Holdings and the
Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the Registration Statements pursuant to
Section 2(a) and Section 2(b)

expeditiously as reasonably possible:

            (a)   prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the
      appropriate form under the 1933 Act, which form (x) shall be selected by
      the Company and Holdings and (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf
      Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by
      the selling Holders thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all
      material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include
      all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and
      use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration
      Statement to become effective and remain effective in accordance with
      Section 2 hereof;

            (b)   prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
      post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be
      necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable
      period and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required
      prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to
      Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; to the extent required, to keep each
      Prospectus current during the period described under Section 4(3) and Rule
      174 under the 1933 Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or
      dealers with respect to the Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities;

            (c)   in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of

      Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or
      supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder or Underwriter
      may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other
      disposition of the Registrable Securities; and the Company, Holdings and
      the Subsidiary Guarantors consent to the use of such Prospectus and any
      amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each
      of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and any such Underwriters
      in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
      covered by and in the manner described in such Prospectus or any amendment
      or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law;

            (d)   use their commercially reasonable efforts to register or
      qualify the Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities
      or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as may be required in connection
      with the Exchange Offer and, in connection with the Shelf Registration, as
      any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement
      shall reasonably request in writing by the time the applicable
      Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, to cooperate with
      such Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with the
      National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and do any and all other
      acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable
      such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of
      such Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that
      none of the Company, Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be
      required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in
      securities in any jurisdiction where it

                                       8

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

            (f)   make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any
      order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the
      earliest practicable date and provide immediate notice to each Holder of
      the withdrawal of any such order;

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

            (h)   in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the
      selling Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely
      preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable
      Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable
      such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations (consistent with
      the provisions of the Indenture) and registered in such names as the
      selling Holders may reasonably request at least one business day prior to
      the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;

                                       9
<PAGE>

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

            (j)   a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Registration
      Statement, any Prospectus, any amendment to a Registration Statement or

      incorporated or deemed by securities laws to be incorporated by reference
      into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus after initial filing of a
      Registration Statement, provide copies of such document to the Placement
      Agents and their counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration
      Statement, the Holders and one counsel to be chosen by the Majority
      Holders) and make such of the representatives of the Company and Holdings
      as shall be reasonably requested by the Placement Agents or their counsel
      (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders or their
      chosen counsel as provided above in this paragraph) available for
      discussion of such document, and shall not at any time file or make any
      amendment to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendment
      of or supplement to a Registration Statement or a Prospectus or any
      document which is to be incorporated or deemed by securities laws to be
      incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus,
      of which the Placement Agents and their counsel (and, in the case of a
      Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders and their chosen counsel as
      provided above in this paragraph) shall not have previously been advised
      and furnished a copy or to which the Placement Agents or their counsel
      (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders or their
      chosen counsel as provided above in this paragraph) shall reasonably
      object;

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

      Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"), in connection with the registration
      of the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be,
      cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the
      Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in
      accordance with the terms of the TIA and execute, and use their reasonable
      best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be
      required to effect

                                       10
<PAGE>

      such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with
      the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

            (m)   in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for
      inspection by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable
      Securities designated by the Majority Holders, any Underwriter
      participating in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to such Shelf
      Registration Statement, and attorneys and accountants designated by the
      Majority Holders, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, all
      financial and other records, pertinent documents and properties of the
      Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors , and cause the respective
      officers, directors and employees of the Company and Holdings to supply
      all information reasonably requested by any such representative,
      Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf
      Registration Statement;

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

            (o)   use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
      Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, to be
      rated by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (as
      such term is defined in Rule 436(g)(2) under the 1933 Act);

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

            (q)   in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary
      agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith
      (including those requested by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate
      principal amount of the Registrable Securities being sold) as may
      reasonably be requested in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition
      of such Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, pursuant to
      an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (i) to the extent
      reasonably practicable, make such representations and warranties to the
      Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Securities with respect
      to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and Holdings and its
      subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents
      incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in
      each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers
      to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when
      requested, (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and Holdings
      (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be
      reasonably satisfactory to a representative designated by the Majority

                                       11
<PAGE>

      Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to
      each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, covering
      the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten
      offerings, (iii) obtain "cold comfort" letters from the independent
      certified public accountants of the Company and Holdings (and, if
      necessary, any other certified public accountant of any subsidiary of the
      Company or Holdings, or of any business acquired by the Company or
      Holdings for which financial statements and financial data are or are
      required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each
      selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, such letters to
      be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered
      in "cold comfort" letters in connection with underwritten offerings, and
      (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably
      requested by the Majority Holders or the Underwriters, and which are
      customarily delivered in underwritten offerings, to evidence the continued
      validity of the representations and warranties of the Company, Holdings
      and the Subsidiary Guarantors made pursuant to clause (i) above and to
      evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an
      underwriting agreement.

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

            In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees
that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary
Guarantors of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(e)(v) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder's
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by
Section 3(i) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company and Holdings, such
Holder will deliver to the Company and Holdings (at its expense) all copies in
its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at
the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company and Holdings shall give any
such notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Registration Statement, the Company and Holdings shall extend the period during
which the Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this
Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of
the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders shall have
received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume
such dispositions. The Company and Holdings may give any such notice only twice
during any 365 day period and any such suspensions may not exceed 30 days for
each suspension and there may not be more than two suspensions in effect during
any 365 day period.

            The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf
Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities
in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment
banker or investment bankers and manager or

                                       12
<PAGE>

managers (the "Underwriters") that will administer the offering will be selected
by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such offering.

            4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer.

            (a)   The staff of the SEC (the "Staff") has taken the position that
any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the
Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a
"Participating Broker-Dealer"), may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the 1933 Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements
of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.

            The Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors understand that
it is the Staff's position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a
statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating
Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities, without naming the
Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities
owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers
to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the 1933 Act in connection
with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the
Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the 1933 Act.

            (b)   In light of the above, notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Agreement, the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree that
the provisions of this Agreement as they relate to a Shelf Registration shall
also apply to an Exchange Offer Registration to the extent, and with such
reasonable modifications thereto as may be, reasonably requested by the
Placement Agents or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in each case as
provided in clause (ii) below, in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of any Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers
consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above;
provided that:

            (i)   the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not
      be required to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the
      Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be contemplated
      by Section 3(i), for a period exceeding 180 days after the last Exchange
      Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to the penultimate paragraph
      of Section 3 of this Agreement) and Participating Broker-Dealers shall not
      be authorized by the Company, Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors to
      deliver and shall not deliver such Prospectus after such period in
      connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4; and

            (ii)  the application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth
      in Section 3 of this Agreement to an Exchange Offer Registration, to the
      extent not required by the positions of the Staff of the SEC or the 1933
      Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, will be in conformity with
      the reasonable request to the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary
      Guarantors by the Placement Agents or with the reasonable request in
      writing to the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors by one or
      more broker-dealers who certify to the Placement Agents, on the one hand,
      and the Company, Holdings and

                                       13
<PAGE>

      the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the other hand, in writing that they
      anticipate that they will be Participating Broker-Dealers; and, provided
      further, that, in connection with such application of the Shelf
      Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 to an Exchange Offer
      Registration, the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be
      obligated (x) to deal only with one entity representing the Participating
      Broker-Dealers, which shall be Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated unless it
      elects not to act as such representative, in which case it shall be
      designated by Participating Broker-Dealers holding a majority in principal
      amount of all Securities held by Participating Broker-Dealers, (y) to pay
      the fees and expenses of only one counsel representing the Participating
      Broker-Dealers, which shall be counsel to the Placement Agents unless such
      counsel elects not to so act, and (z) to cause to be delivered only one,
      if any, "cold comfort" letter with respect to the Prospectus in the form
      existing on the last Exchange Date and with respect to each subsequent
      amendment or supplement, if any, effected during the period specified in
      clause (i) above.

            (c)   The Placement Agents shall have no liability to the Company,
Holdings the Subsidiary Guarantors or any Holder with respect to any request
that it may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above.

            5.    Indemnification and Contribution.

            (a)   The Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly
and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agents, each
Holder, each Person, if any, who controls any Placement Agent or any Holder
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
1934 Act, or is under common control with, or is controlled by, any Placement
Agent or any Holder, from and against all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Placement Agent, any Holder or any such controlling
or affiliated Person in connection with defending or investigating any such
action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)
pursuant to which Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities were registered
under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference,
or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Company, Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have furnished any
amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading,
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any
such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based
upon information relating to the Placement Agents or any Holder furnished to the
Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors in writing by Morgan Stanley &
Co. Incorporated or any selling Holder expressly for use therein; provided,
however, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact
made in any preliminary Prospectus, the indemnity contained in this Section 5(a)
shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder from whom

                                       14
<PAGE>

the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the
securities concerned, or any Person controlling such Holder, to the extent that
any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder occurs under the
circumstances where it shall have been determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonapplicable judgment that (i) the Company had
previously furnished copies of the final Prospectus to such Holder, (ii)
delivery of the final Prospectus was required by the 1933 Act to be made to such
Person, (iii) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in
the preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the final Prospectus, and (iv) there
was not sent or given to such Person, at or prior to the written confirmation of
the sale of such securities to such Person, a copy of the final Prospectus. In
connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company,
Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, will also
indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and similar
securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their
officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the
meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act) to the same extent as provided above
with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection
with any Registration Statement.

            (b)   Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Placement Agents and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective
directors, officers who sign the Registration Statement and each Person, if any,
who controls the Company, Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors, any Placement
Agent and any other selling Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of
the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors to the
Placement Agents and the Holders, but only with reference to information
relating to such Holder furnished to the Company and Holdings in writing by such
Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

            (c)   In case any proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above,
such Person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the Person against
whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the
indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and
shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.
The indemnifying party may assume at its sole expense the defense of any such
litigation or proceeding; such defense shall be conducted by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall pay the
fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such proceeding, any indemnified party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel and assume its own defense in
such proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or
(ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between

                                       15
<PAGE>

them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with
any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for
(a) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any
local counsel) for the Placement Agents and all Persons, if any, who control any
Placement Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act, (b) the fees and expenses of more than one separate
firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, Holdings and the
Subsidiary Guarantors and their respective directors, their respective officers
who sign the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the
Company, Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors within the meaning of either such
Section and (c) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
addition to any local counsel) for all Holders and all Persons, if any, who
control any Holders within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such
fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In such case
involving the Placement Agents and Persons who control the Placement Agents,
such firm shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated.
In such case involving the Holders and such Persons who control Holders, such
firm shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders. In all other cases,
such firm shall be designated by the Company and Holdings. The indemnifying
party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second
and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it
shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after
receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such
indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party for such fees
and expenses of counsel in accordance with such request prior to the date of
such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent
of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified
party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.

            (d)   If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or
paragraph (b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then each
indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified
party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the
Holders, on the other hand, 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

                                       16
<PAGE>

the Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, or by the
Holders, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Holders' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d)
are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Registrable
Securities of such Holder that were registered pursuant to a Registration
Statement.

            (e)   The Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the
one hand, and each Holder, on the other hand, agree that it would not be just or
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid
or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages
and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 5, no Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total price at which Registrable Securities
were sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive
and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to
any indemnified party at law or in equity.

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

            6.    Miscellaneous.

            (a)   No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company, Holdings and the
Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, represent, warrant and agree that
none of the Company, Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors has entered into, and
on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement which
is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities
in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The
Company, Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally,
represent, warrant and agree that the rights granted to the Holders hereunder do
not and will not in any way conflict with and are not and will not be
inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's, Holdings'
or the Subsidiary Guarantors' other issued and outstanding securities under any
such agreements.

                                       17
<PAGE>

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

            (c)   Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered
first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Company or Holdings by means of a notice given in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the
Placement Agents, the address set forth in the Placement Agreement; and (ii) if
to the Company, Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors, initially at the
respective addresses set forth in the Placement Agreement and thereafter at such
other addresses, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 6(c).

            All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been
duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five
business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed;
when answered back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and
on the next business day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing
overnight delivery.

            Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall
be concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the
address specified in the Indenture.

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

            (e)   Purchases and Sales of Securities. Neither the Company nor
Holdings shall, and the Company and Holdings shall each use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause

                                       18
<PAGE>

its respective affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) not to,
purchase and then resell or otherwise transfer any Securities.

            (f)   Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, Holdings and
the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Placement Agents, on the
other hand, and any Holder shall have the right to enforce such agreements
directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to
protect its rights or the rights of other Holders hereunder.

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

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

            (i)   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of New York.

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

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of
