    INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT

     

    This
Agreement is made as of the _____ day of _______ 2009, by and between SkillSoft
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation), and _______________ (the
“Indemnitee”), a director or officer of the Corporation.

     

    WHEREAS,
it is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as directors and
officers the most capable persons available, and

     

    WHEREAS,
the substantial increase in corporate litigation subjects directors and officers
to expensive litigation risks at the same time that the availability of
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance has been severely limited,
and

     

    WHEREAS,
it is now and has always been the express policy of the Corporation to indemnify
its directors and officers, and

     

    WHEREAS,
the Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Corporation’s
Certificate of Incorporation and insurance as adequate in the present
circumstances, and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve as a
director or officer without adequate protection, and

     

    WHEREAS,
the Corporation desires the Indemnitee to serve, or continue to serve, as a
director or officer of the Corporation.

person reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants and
beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a
manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in
this Agreement.

     

    3. Indemnity of
Indemnitee.  Subject to Sections 6, 7 and 9, the Corporation
shall indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding as to which the
Indemnitee is, was or is threatened to be made a party (or is otherwise
involved) by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, to the fullest extent
permitted by law (as such may be amended from time to time).  In
furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality
thereof:

     

    (a) Indemnification in
Third-Party Proceedings.  The Corporation shall indemnify the
Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(a) if the
Indemnitee was or is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise
involved in any Proceeding (other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or a Proceeding referred to in
Section 6 below) by reason of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of
any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in connection therewith,
against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection
with such Proceeding, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner
which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was
unlawful.

     

    (b) Indemnification in
Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation.  The
Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 3(b) if the Indemnitee was or is a party to or threatened to be
made a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding by or in the right of
the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the Indemnitee’s
Corporate Status or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or
omitted in connection therewith, against all Expenses and, to the extent
permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, if the
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation,
except that, if applicable law so provides, no indemnification shall be made
under this Section 3(b) in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which
the Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless,
and only to the extent, that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c) circumstances
of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such Expenses as the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem
proper.

     

    4. Indemnification of Expenses
of Successful Party.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful, on the
merits or otherwise, in defense of any Proceeding or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein (other than a Proceeding referred to in Section 6), the
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection
therewith.  Without limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding or any
claim, issue or matter therein is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise
(including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition
being adverse to the Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that the Indemnitee
was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by
the Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that the Indemnitee did not act in
good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal
proceeding, an adjudication that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful, the Indemnitee shall be considered for the
purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect
thereto.

     

    5. Indemnification for Expenses
of a Witness.  To the extent that the Indemnitee is, by reason
of the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which the
Indemnitee is not a party, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in
connection therewith.

     

    6. Exceptions to Right of
Indemnification.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 10, the Corporation shall
not indemnify the Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof)
initiated by the Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, the Corporation shall not indemnify the
Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of
insurance, and in the event the Corporation makes any indemnification payments
to the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the
proceeds of insurance, the Indemnitee shall promptly refund such indemnification
payments to the Corporation to the extent of such insurance
reimbursement.

     

    7. Notification and Defense of
Claim.  As a condition precedent to the Indemnitee’s right to
be indemnified, the Indemnitee must notify the Corporation in writing as soon as
practicable of any Proceeding for which indemnity will or could be
sought.  With respect to any Proceeding of which the Corporation is so
notified, the Corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own
expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.  After notice from
the Corporation to the Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the
Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such
Proceeding, other than as provided below in this Section 7.  The
Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection
with such Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after
notice from the Corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at
the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by the
Indemnitee has been authorized by the Corporation, (ii) counsel
to

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    8. the
Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of
interest or position on any significant issue between the Corporation and the
Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such Proceeding or (iii) the
Corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of
such Proceeding, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for the
Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise
expressly provided by this Agreement, and provided that Indemnitee’s counsel
shall cooperate reasonably with the Corporation’s counsel to minimize the cost
of defending claims against the Corporation and the Indemnitee.  The
Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of the Indemnitee, to
assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or
as to which counsel for the Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion
provided for in clause (ii) above.  The Corporation shall not be
required to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid
in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written
consent.  The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding in any
manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on the Indemnitee without the
Indemnitee’s written consent.  Neither the Corporation nor the
Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay their consent to any proposed
settlement.

     

    9. Advancement of
Expenses.  Subject to the provisions of Section 9, in the
event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to
Section 7 of any Proceeding of which the Corporation receives notice under
this Agreement, any Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of
the Indemnitee in defending such Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding; provided, however, that the
payment of such Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in advance
of the final disposition of such Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay all amounts so
advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee
is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this
Agreement.  Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to
the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make repayment.  Any
advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 8 shall be unsecured
and interest-free.

     

    10. Procedures.

     

    (a) In order
to obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Agreement,
the Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including in
such request such documentation and information as is reasonably available to
the Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what
extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advancement of
Expenses.  Any such indemnification or advancement of Expenses shall
be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days after receipt by the
Corporation of the written request of the Indemnitee, unless the Corporation
determines within such 60-day period that the Indemnitee did not meet the
applicable standard of conduct.  Such determination, and any
determination that advanced Expenses must be repaid to the Corporation, shall be
made in each instance (a) by a majority vote of the directors of the
Corporation consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the
Proceeding (“disinterested directors”), whether or not a quorum, (b) by a
committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of
disinterested directors, whether or not a quorum, (c) if there are no
disinterested directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by
independent legal counsel

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b) (who may,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, be regular legal counsel to the
Corporation) in a written opinion, or (d) by the stockholders of the
Corporation.

     

    (c) The
termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner that
the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

     

    (d) The
Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such
determination with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification,
including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance
request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise
protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to the Indemnitee
and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Any Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee in so cooperating shall be borne by
the Corporation (irrespective of the determination as to the Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification) and the Corporation hereby indemnifies the
Indemnitee therefrom.

     

    11. Remedies.  The
right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses as provided by this
Agreement shall be enforceable by the Indemnitee in any court of competent
jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if
no disposition thereof is made within the applicable period referred to in
Section 9.  Unless otherwise required by law, the burden of proving
that indemnification or advancement of Expenses is not appropriate shall be on
the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation to have made
a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is
proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable
standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation that the
Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense
to the action or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct.  The Indemnitee’s Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred in connection with successfully establishing the
Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such
Proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

     

    12. Partial
Indemnification.  If the Indemnitee is entitled under any
provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some or a
portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in
connection with any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof,
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee for the portion of
such Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement to
which the Indemnitee is entitled.

     

    13. Subrogation.  In
the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be
subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the
Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary
to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to
enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    14. Term of
Agreement.  This Agreement shall continue until and terminate
upon the later of (a) six years after the date that the Indemnitee shall have
ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation or, at the request
of the Corporation, as a director, officer, partner, trustee, member, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited
liability company or other enterprise or (b) the final termination of all
Proceedings pending on the date set forth in clause (a) in respect of which the
Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses
hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee pursuant to
Section 10 of this Agreement relating thereto.

     

    15. Indemnification Hereunder
Not Exclusive.  The indemnification and advancement of Expenses
provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the Certification of Incorporation,
the By-Laws, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, the General Corporation Law of Delaware, any other law (common or
statutory), or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office for the
Corporation.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
prohibit the Corporation from purchasing and maintaining insurance, at its
expense, to protect itself or the Indemnitee against any expense, liability or
loss incurred by it or the Indemnitee in any such capacity, or arising out of
the Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Indemnitee would be
indemnified against such expense, liability or loss under this Agreement;
provided that the Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make
any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent
that the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any
insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

     

    16. No Special
Rights.  Nothing herein shall confer upon the Indemnitee any
right to continue to serve as an officer or director of the Corporation for any
period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.

     

    17. Savings
Clause.  If this Agreement or any portion thereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the
Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify the Indemnitee as to Expenses,
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any
Proceeding to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this
Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law.

     

    18. Counterparts.  This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
constitute the original.

     

    19. Successors and
Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Corporation
and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the estate,
heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives of the
Indemnitee.

     

    20. Headings.  The
headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only
and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the
construction thereof.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    21. Modification and
Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended from time to time to
reflect changes in Delaware law or for other reasons.  No supplement,
modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in
writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any
other provision hereof nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing
waiver.

     

    22. Notices.  All
notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered by hand

    or to
such other address as may have been furnished to the Indemnitee by the
Corporation or to the Corporation by the Indemnitee, as the case may
be.

     

    23. Applicable
Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.  The
Indemnitee may elect to have the right to indemnification or reimbursement or
advancement of Expenses interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect
at the time of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the
applicable Proceeding, to the extent permitted by law, or on the basis of the
applicable law in effect at the time such indemnification or reimbursement or
advancement of Expenses is sought.  Such election shall be made, by a
notice in writing to the Corporation, at the time indemnification or
reimbursement or advancement of Expenses is sought; provided, however, that if no
such notice is given, and if the General Corporation Law of Delaware is amended,
or other Delaware law is enacted, to permit further indemnification of the
directors and officers, then the Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest
extent permitted under the General Corporation Law, as so amended, or by such
other Delaware law, as so enacted.

     

    24. Enforcement.  The
Corporation expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this
Agreement in order to induce the Indemnitee to continue to serve as an officer
or director of the Corporation, and acknowledges that the Indemnitee is relying
upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.

     

    25. Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of
the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and
supercedes all prior agreements, whether oral or written, by any officer,
employee or representative of any party hereto in respect

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    26. of the
subject matter contained herein; and any prior agreement of the parties hereto
in respect of the subject matter contained herein is hereby terminated and
cancelled.  For avoidance of doubt, the parties confirm that the
foregoing does not apply to or limit the Indemnitee’s rights under Delaware law
or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws.

     

    27. Consent to
Suit.  In the case of any dispute under or in connection with
this Agreement, the Indemnitee may only bring suit against the Corporation in
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware.  The Indemnitee hereby
consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the State of
Delaware, and the Indemnitee hereby waives any claim the Indemnitee may have at
any time as to forum non conveniens with respect to such venue.  The
Corporation shall have the right to institute any legal action arising out of or
relating to this Agreement in any court of competent
jurisdiction.  Any judgment entered against either of the parties in
any proceeding hereunder may be entered and enforced by any court of competent
jurisdiction.

     

    IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed as of the day and year first above written.

person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.

SECTION 3. REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER

     (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable federal law (after the
procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below have been complied with), the Company and the
Guarantors shall (i) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the
Commission as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 120 days after
the Closing Date (such 120th day being the “Filing Deadline”), (ii) use their reasonable best
efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective at the earliest
possible time, but in no event later than 180 days after the Closing Date (such 180th day being the
“Effectiveness Deadline”), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective
amendments to such

3

 

Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause it to become
effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and (C) cause all necessary filings, if any, in
connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue
Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer,
provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to register or
qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity, as applicable, where it is not now so qualified
or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation,
other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, in
any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject; (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, commence and Consummate the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on
the appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange
for the Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange Notes by
Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its
own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes
acquired directly from the Company, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates) as contemplated by
Section 3(c) below.

     (b) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously for the period specified in
Section 3(c) below and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum
period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange
Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days. The
Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and
state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Notes and the guarantees thereof and,
if the Company so desires, any other exchange notes and guarantees thereof in respect of other
third lien senior secured notes issued by the Company and guarantees thereof (“Additional Third
Lien Notes”) shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company and the
Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on
or prior to 30 Business Days after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective,
but in no event later than 40 Business Days thereafter (such 40th day being the “Consummation
Deadline”).

     (c) The Company shall include a “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus contained in
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds
Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result
of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired directly from
the Company, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates) (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) may
exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the

4

 

Exchange Offer. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information
with respect to such sales by such Participating Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in
order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any
such Participating Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by
any such Participating Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission as a result
of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the date of this Agreement. See the Shearman &
Sterling No-Action Letter (available July 2, 1993).

     Because such Participating Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the
meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in
connection with its initial sale of any Exchange Notes received by such Participating Broker-Dealer
in the Exchange Offer, the Company and Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained
in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Participating Broker-Dealer to satisfy such
prospectus delivery requirement. In light of the foregoing, if requested by any Participating
Broker-Dealer and to the extent necessary to ensure that the prospectus contained in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, the
Company and the Guarantors agree to use their respective best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and
subject to the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements
of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced
from time to time for a period of 180 days from the Consummation Deadline or such shorter period as
will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant thereto. The Company and the Guarantors shall provide sufficient copies of the
latest version of such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers promptly upon request and in no event
later than one Business Day after such request at any time during such period.

SECTION 4. SHELF REGISTRATION

     (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law (after
the Company and the Guarantors have complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i)
below) or (ii) if any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall notify the Company within 20
Business Days following the Consummation Deadline that (A) based on an opinion of counsel, such
Holder was prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer or (B)
such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its
Affiliates, then the Company and the Guarantors shall:

     (x) cause to be filed, on or prior to 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on
which the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement cannot be
filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above

5

 

and (ii) the date on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause
(a)(ii) above, (such earlier date, the “Filing Deadline”), a shelf registration statement
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), relating to all Transfer
Restricted Securities, and

     (y) shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf
Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to 90 days after the Filing
Deadline for the Shelf Registration Statement (such 90th day being the “Effectiveness
Deadline”).

     If, after the Company has filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement that satisfies the
requirements of Section 3(a) above, the Company is required to file and make effective a Shelf
Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable federal
law (i.e., clause (a)(i) above), then the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall
be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the
Company shall remain obligated to meet the Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y).

     To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is available for sales
of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section
4(a) and the other securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii)
hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep
any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective,
supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(b) and
(c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies,
rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least
one year (as extended pursuant to Section 6(d)) following the Closing Date, or such shorter period
as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration
Statement have been sold pursuant thereto.

     (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration
Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted
Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such
Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the
information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of the Act for use in
connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included
therein. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall be entitled to additional interest
pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such information.
Each selling Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be

6

 

disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder
not materially misleading.

SECTION 5. ADDITIONAL INTEREST

     If (i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission
on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii) any such Registration Statement has not been
declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (iii)
the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline or (iv) any
Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall
thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose without being
succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or an additional
Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself declared effective within 5 days
of filing such post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or of filing such additional
Registration Statement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration
Default”), then the Company and the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay to each
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby additional interest in an amount equal to
$.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder
for each week or portion thereof that the Registration Default continues for the first 90-day
period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default. The amount of additional
interest shall increase by an additional $.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults
have been cured, up to a maximum amount of additional interest of $.25 per week per $1,000 in
principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities; provided that the Company and the Guarantors
shall in no event be required to pay additional interest for more than one Registration Default at
any given time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon the filing of
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration
Statement), in the case of (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (ii) above, (3)
upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (iii) above, or (4) upon the filing of a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement that
causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration
Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable in the case of (iv) above, the additional
interest payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such clause (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv), as applicable, shall cease.

     All accrued additional interest shall be paid to the Holders entitled thereto in the manner
provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture on each Interest Payment Date as more fully
set forth in the Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which
additional interest is due

7

 

cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of the Company and the Guarantors
to pay additional interest with respect to such securities shall survive until such time as such
obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.

SECTION 6. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

     (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company
and the Guarantors shall (x) comply with all applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, (y) use
their respective reasonable best efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of
Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered in the Exchange Offer Notes that such Broker-Dealer
acquired for its own account as a result of its market making activities or other trading
activities (other than Notes acquired directly from the Company, the Guarantors or any of their
Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof
and (z) comply with all of the following provisions:

     (i) If, following the date hereof there has been announced a change in Commission
policy with respect to exchange offers such as the Exchange Offer that in the reasonable
opinion of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange
Offer is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree
to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the
Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for Transfer Restricted
Securities. The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to pursue the issuance of such a
decision to the Commission staff level. In connection with the foregoing, the Company and
the Guarantors hereby agree to take all such other actions as may be requested by the
Commission or otherwise required in connection with the issuance of such decision,
including, without limitation, (A) participating in telephonic conferences with the
Commission, (B) delivering to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the
Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that
such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursuing a resolution (which
need not be favorable) by the Commission staff.

     (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Holder who is a
Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation
of the Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Company and the Guarantors (which
may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company or
the Guarantors, (B) it is not engaged in, does not intend to engage in, and has no
arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the
Exchange Notes to be issued in the

8

 

Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of
business. As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using the
Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge
and agree that, if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange
for Notes acquired directly from the Company, the Guarantors or an Affiliate thereof, it
(1) could not, under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on
the position of the Commission enunciated in the Morgan Stanley and Company Incorporated
(available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation No-Action Letters
(available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling
(available July 2, 1993) and similar No-Action Letters (including, if applicable, any
No-Action Letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a
secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered
by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information
required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K.

     (iii) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the
Company and the Guarantors shall provide a supplemental letter to the Commission (A)
stating that the Company and the Guarantors are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance
on the position of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation
(available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) as
interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and, if
applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, (B) including a
representation that neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into any arrangement
or understanding with any Person to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the
Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s information and
belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in
its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to
participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer and
(C) any other undertaking or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any
no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.

     (iv) If requested by any Participating Broker-Dealer delivering the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in connection with its initial sale
of any Exchange Notes received by it in the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors
shall use their best efforts to furnish to each such Participating Broker-Dealer (i) an
opinion of counsel of the Company and the Guarantors addressed to such Participating
Broker-Dealer covering the matters set forth in Section

9

 

6(c)(xi)(A)(2) herein with such changes as are customary in connection with an
Exchange Offer Registration Statement and (ii) a comfort letter, addressed to such
Participating Broker-Dealer from the Company’s independent public accountants, in the
customary form, covering the matters set forth in Section 6(c)(xi)(A)(3) herein, with
appropriate date changes.

     (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company and the Guarantors shall:

     (i) comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and use their respective
reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer
Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution thereof (as indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to
Section 4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company and the Guarantors will prepare and
file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any
appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer
Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution
thereof within the time periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof.

     (ii) issue, upon the request of any Holder or purchaser of Notes covered by any Shelf
Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, Exchange Notes having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement and surrendered to the Company for cancellation; the Company
shall register Exchange Notes on the Shelf Registration Statement for this purpose and
issue the Exchange Notes to the purchaser(s) of securities subject to the Shelf
Registration Statement in the names as such purchaser(s) shall designate.

     (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any related
Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall:

     (i) use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement
continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements for the period
specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any
event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein
(A) to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (B) not to be effective and
usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this
Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall file promptly an appropriate amendment or
supplement to such Registration Statement curing such defect, and, if

10

 

Commission review is required, use their respective best efforts to cause such
amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable.

     (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective
amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4
hereof, as the case may be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required
Prospectus supplement, and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as applicable, under the Act in a
timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in
accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set
forth in such Registration Statement or Prospectus;

     (iii) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement or if requested by a
Participating Broker-Dealer, advise each Holder promptly and, if requested by such Holder,
confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any applicable Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B)
of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or
amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating
thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any
state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for
offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the
preceding purposes, and (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event
that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference
therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the
Registration Statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or that
requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Prospectus in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other
regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from
qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky
laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to
obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;

11

 

     (iv) subject to Section 6(c)(i), if any fact or event contemplated by Section
6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated
therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered
to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading;

     (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish (or, to the extent
permitted by law, make available) to each Holder, before filing with the Commission,
copies of any Shelf Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any
amendments or supplements to any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus
(including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Shelf
Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of such
Holders in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business Days,
and the Company will not file any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement to any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus (including
all such documents incorporated by reference) to which such Holders shall reasonably
object within five Business Days after the receipt thereof. A Holder shall be deemed to
have reasonably objected to such filing if such Shelf Registration Statement, amendment,
Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of
the Act;

     (vi) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, promptly prior to the filing of
any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or
Prospectus, provide (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available) copies of such
document, if any, to each Holder, make the Company’s and the Guarantors’ representatives
available for discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters, and
include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such Holders may
reasonably request;

     (vii) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, make available, at reasonable
times, for inspection by each Holder and any attorney or accountant retained by such
Holders, all pertinent financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of
the Company and the Guarantors as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise any
applicable due diligence responsibilities and cause the Company’s and the Guarantors’
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any
such Holder, attorney or accountant in

12

 

connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness; provided that if any such
information is identified by the Company or any Guarantor as being confidential or
proprietary, each such Holder, attorney, accountant or any other person receiving such
information shall take all actions as are reasonably necessary to protect the
confidentiality of such information to the extent that such action is otherwise not
inconsistent with, an impairment of, or in derogation of, the rights and interests of such
Holder;

     (viii) if requested by any Holders, promptly include in any Registration Statement
or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such
information as such Holders may reasonably request to have included therein, including,
without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer
Restricted Securities; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company is notified of the
matters to be included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

     (ix) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish (or, to the extent
permitted by law, make available) to each Holder, without charge, at least one copy of the
Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto,
including all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including
exhibits incorporated therein by reference);

     (x) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement or if requested by a Participating
Broker-Dealer, deliver (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available) to each Holder
without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus)
and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Person reasonably may request; the Company
and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use (in accordance with law) of the Prospectus
and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder in connection with the
offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto;

     (xi) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement and upon the request of any
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities covered thereby and being sold pursuant thereto
(the “Selling Holders”), enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting
agreements) and make such customary representations and warranties and take all such other
actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any applicable Registration Statement
contemplated by this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by any such Selling Holder
in connection with any

13

 

sale or resale pursuant to any applicable Registration Statement. In such
connection, the Company and the Guarantors shall:

     (A) upon request of any such Selling Holder, furnish (or in the case of
paragraphs (2) and (3), use their best efforts to cause to be furnished) to each such
Selling Holder, as the case may be:

     (1) a certificate, addressed to such Selling Holders and underwriters, if
any, named in an underwriting agreement entered into pursuant to this Section
6(c)(xi) (the “Shelf Underwriters”), signed on behalf of Hovnanian by the Chief
Financial Officer, confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in
Sections 9(aa) and 9(dd) of the Dealer Managers Agreement, that all the
representations and warranties of the Company and Hovnanian contained in the
Dealer Managers Agreement are true and correct on the date of the certificate
with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date, and such other
similar matters as such Selling Holders and Shelf Underwriters, if any, may
reasonably request;

     (2) an opinion of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors, addressed to
such Selling Holders and Shelf Underwriters, if any, which shall cover matters
similar to those set forth in subsection (d) of Section 10 of the Dealer Managers
Agreement and such other additional matters as such Selling Holders and Shelf
Underwriters, if any, may reasonably request; and

     (3) a comfort letter, addressed to such Selling Holders and Shelf
Underwriters, if any, from the Company’s independent accountants, in the
customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort
letters addressed to underwriters in connection with underwritten offerings.

     (B) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested
by such Selling Holders and Shelf Underwriters, if any, to evidence compliance with
the matters covered in clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in
any agreement entered into by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to this clause
(xi);

     (xii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with
the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the registration and
qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws
of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders may request and do any and all other acts or
things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Transfer Restricted

14

 

Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that
neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to register or qualify as a
foreign corporation or other entity, as applicable, where it is not now so qualified or to
take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation,
other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any
jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;

     (xiii) in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a
Shelf Registration Statement that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer
Restricted Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not
bearing any restrictive legends; and to register such Transfer Restricted Securities in
such denominations and such names as the selling Holders may request at least two Business
Days prior to such sale of Transfer Restricted Securities;

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

     (xv) provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than
the effective date of a Registration Statement covering such Transfer Restricted
Securities; and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the
Transfer Restricted Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with the
Depository Trust Company;

     (xvi) otherwise use their respective reasonable best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its
security holders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, as soon as
practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 (which
need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after the effective date of
the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the
Act);

     (xvii) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than the
effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement and, in
connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to
the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with
the terms of the TIA;

15

 

and execute and use their best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents
that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to
be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely
manner; and

     (xviii) provide (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available) promptly to
each Holder, upon request, each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the
requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

     (d) Restrictions on Holders. Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted
Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in Section 6(c)(iii)(C) or any notice from
the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof (in
each case, a “Suspension Notice”), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until (i) such Holder has
received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof
or (ii) such Holder is advised in writing (the “Recommencement Notice”) by the Company that the use
of the Prospectus may be resumed, and, in each case, has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (together with any such
supplemented or amended Prospectus, the “Recommencement Date Materials”). Each Holder receiving a
Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it will either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than
permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession which have been replaced by the Company
with more recently dated Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all
copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus
covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of the
Suspension Notice. The time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set
forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by a number of days equal to the
number of days in the period from and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice to
the date of delivery of the Recommencement Notice and/or the Recommencement Date Materials, as
applicable.

SECTION 7. REGISTRATION EXPENSES

     (a) All expenses incident to the Company’s and the Guarantors’ performance of, or compliance
with, this Agreement will be borne by the Company and the Guarantors, regardless of whether a
Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and
filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and
state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates
for the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger
and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company,
the Guarantors and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, of one counsel for the Holders
of Transfer

16

 

Restricted Securities, such counsel to be selected by the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold; and (v) all fees and
disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors
(including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such
performance).

     The Company will, in any event, bear its and the Guarantors’ internal expenses (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or
accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person,
including special experts, retained by the Company or the Guarantors.

     (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement, the Company and
the Guarantors will reimburse the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who are tendering Notes
in the Exchange Offer and/or selling or reselling Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the “Plan of
Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration
Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel,
who shall be Davis Polk & Wardwell, unless another firm shall be chosen by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such
Registration Statement is being prepared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Holders shall be
responsible for any and all underwriting discounts and commissions and, prior to employing counsel
in connection with an Exchange Offer, the Dealer Managers will notify the Company and the Company’s
counsel and provide them reasonable opportunity to discuss the need for separate counsel; provided,
however, the Dealer Managers shall at all times retain the sole right to employ separate counsel.

SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION

     (a) The Company and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, its partners, directors, officers, and each
person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder may
become subject, under the Securities Act or 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 any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration
Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or in any amendment or supplement thereto) or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, and shall reimburse each Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company and

17

 

the Guarantors shall not be liable in any such case to such Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities, its partners, directors, officers and their controlling persons named above 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 in or omission or alleged omission from a Registration
Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the
Guarantors by any such Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities or on behalf of such Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities specifically for inclusion therein; provided further, however, that
this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors
may otherwise have to such Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities and their controlling persons
named above.

     (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, their respective directors and officers
and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantors within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or
the Guarantors may become subject, under the Securities Act or 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in a Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or in any amendment or
supplement thereto) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, but in each case
only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and
the Guarantors by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, shall
reimburse, as incurred, the Company and the Guarantors for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or the Guarantors in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which such Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may otherwise have to the Company and
the Guarantors or any of their controlling persons named above.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to
the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or
defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the

18

 

indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified
party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. 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 (who shall not, except with the consent
of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the
subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the
one hand and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities on the other from the sale of the
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or the exchange of the Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the
foregoing clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative
fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities 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 benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the
other shall be deemed to be in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company and the Guarantors from the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to the Senior Notes Exchange Offer and the securities to be issued in an Exchange Offer or
pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, on the one hand, and by the Holders from receiving
Transfer Restricted Securities or securities registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an
Exchange Offer or a Shelf Registration Statement,

19

 

on the other hand. The relative fault of such 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
Company or the Guarantors on the one hand or such Holder on the other, and such parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 8(d), the Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities shall not
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total proceeds received
by such Holders from the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such
indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same
rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company
or the Guarantors within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same
rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors.

     (e) The agreements contained in this Section 8 shall survive the sale of the Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement or the exchange of the Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to an Exchange Offer and shall remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on
behalf of any indemnified party.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

     (a) Remedies. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that any failure by the
Company and/or the Guarantors to comply with their respective obligations under Sections 3 and 4
hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Dealer Managers 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 Dealer Managers or any Holder
may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the Guarantor’s
obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
and the Guarantors further agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a
remedy at law would be adequate.

20

 

     (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor will, on or after the
date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with
the provisions hereof (it being understood that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company and
any Guarantor from entering into a registration rights agreement with respect to any Additional
Third Lien Notes and guarantees thereof). The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in
any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the
Company’s and the Guarantors’ securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

     (c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given
unless (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 9(c)(i), the Company has obtained the
written consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case
of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a
majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer
Restricted Securities held by the Company or a Guarantor or their Affiliates). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a waiver or consent to a departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively
to the rights of Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities are being tendered pursuant to the
Exchange Offer or sold pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, and that
does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose Transfer Restricted
Securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer or sold pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, may be given by the Holders of a majority of the
outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to such Exchange Offer or
sale under such Shelf Registration Statement.

     (d) Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements
made hereunder between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Dealer Managers, on
the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they may
deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect their rights or the rights of Holders
hereunder.

     (e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall
be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt
requested), telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

     (i) if to a Holder, at the address set forth on the records of the Registrar under
the Indenture, with a copy to the Registrar under the Indenture; and

	 	(ii)	 	if to the Company or the Guarantors:

     (f) 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 and the Holders, including, without
limitation, and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided, that
nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Transfer
Restricted Securities in violation of the terms hereof or of the Dealer Managers Agreement or the
Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Transfer Restricted Securities in any
manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Transfer Restricted Securities shall be held
subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and, by taking and holding such Transfer Restricted
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, including the restrictions on resale set forth
in this Agreement, the Indenture and, if applicable, the Dealer Managers Agreement, and such Person
shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

     (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.

22

 

     (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 AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

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

     (k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of
their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and
understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are
no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings other than those set forth or referred to
herein with respect to the registration rights granted with respect to the Transfer Restricted
Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties
with respect to such subject matter.
