    2. Registration
      Under the Securities Act.

     

    (a) Except
      as
      set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Issuers agree to file under the Securities
      Act no later than April 30, 2007, one or more registration statements relating
      to an offer to exchange (such registration statements, collectively, the
      "Exchange Offer Registration Statement", and such offer, the "Exchange Offer")
      any and all of the Notes, including the related Note Guarantee, for a like
      aggregate principal amount of notes issued by the Issuers, which notes are
      substantially identical in all material respects to the Notes (and are entitled
      to the benefits of the respective Indentures which have been qualified under
      the
      Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been registered pursuant to an
      effective registration statement under the Securities Act and do not contain
      provisions for the additional interest contemplated in Section 2(c) below (such
      notes, collectively, the "Exchange Notes"). Unless the context otherwise
      requires, all references to an "Exchange Note" or "Exchange Notes" include
      the
      related Note Guarantee. The respective Issuers agree to use their reasonable
      best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become or
      be
      declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to 90 days after the
      filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the Commission. The
      Exchange Offer will be registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate
      form and will comply with the Exchange Act. The respective Issuers further
      agree
      to use their reasonable best efforts to complete the Exchange Offer on or prior
      to 60 business days or longer, if required by the federal securities laws,
      after
      such registration statement has become effective, hold the Exchange Offer open
      for at least 20 business days (calculated in accordance with the Exchange Act)
      and exchange the Exchange Notes for all Registrable Securities that have been
      properly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of the
      Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been completed only
      if
      the Exchange Notes received by holders, other than Restricted Holders, in the
      Exchange Offer in exchange for Registrable Securities are, upon receipt,
      transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act
      and the Exchange Act and without material restrictions under the blue sky or
      securities laws of a substantial majority of the States of the United States
      of
      America. The Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon the
      earlier to occur of (i) the Issuers having exchanged the Exchange Notes for
      all
      outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (ii)
      the
      Issuers having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange Notes for
      all
      Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before
      the expiration of the Exchange Offer. The Issuers agree (x) to include in the
      Exchange Offer Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by
      any
      holder of Exchange Notes that is a broker-dealer and (y) to keep such Exchange
      Offer Registration Statement effective for a period (the "Resale Period")
      beginning when Exchange Notes are first issued in the Exchange Offer and ending
      upon the earlier of the expiration of the 180th day after the Exchange Offer
      has
      been completed or such time as such broker-dealers no longer own any Registrable
      Securities. With respect to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, such
      holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution
      set forth in Sections 6(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.

    (b) If
      (i) on
      or prior to the time the Exchange Offer is completed existing law or Commission
      policy or interpretations are changed such that the Exchange Notes received
      by
      holders, other than Restricted Holders, in the Exchange Offer in exchange for
      Registrable Securities are not or would not be, upon receipt, transferable
      by
      each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange
      Offer Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission on or prior
      to April 30, 2007, (iii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not
      been
      declared effective under the Securities Act within 90 days following the filing
      of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the Commission, or the
      Exchange Offer has not been completed within 60 business days following the
      effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, or longer, if
      required by the federal securities laws or (iv) the Exchange Offer is not
      available to any holder, the Issuers shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of
      clause (iv), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by
      Section 2(a), file one or more "shelf" registration statements in accordance
      with the remainder of this Section 2(b) below, under the Securities Act. The
      Issuers shall, on or prior to the later of (x) April 30, 2007 and (y) 30 days
      after the time such obligation to file arises, file one or more "shelf"
      registration statements providing for the registration of, and the sale on
      a
      continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all the Registrable Securities,
      pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission
      (such filing, the "Shelf Registration" and such registration statements,
      collectively, the "Shelf Registration Statement"). The Issuers agree to use
      their reasonable best efforts (x) to cause the Shelf Registration Statement
      to
      become or be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 90 days after
      such obligation to file arises and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
      continuously effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the second
      anniversary of the Effective Time or (ii) such time as there are no longer
      any
      Registrable Securities outstanding; provided,
      however,
      that no
      holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf
      Registration Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for
      resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder is an Electing Holder,
      and
      (y) after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, promptly
      upon
      the request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing
      Holder, to take any action reasonably necessary to enable such holder to use
      the
      prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities,
      including, without limitation, any action necessary to identify such holder
      as a
      selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement; provided,
      however,
      that
      nothing in this clause (y) shall relieve any such holder of the obligation
      to
      return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Issuers in
      accordance with Section 3(e)(iii) hereof. The Issuers further agree to
      supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, as and when
      required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
      registration form used by the Issuers for such Shelf Registration Statement
      or
      by the Securities Act for shelf registration, and the Issuers agree to furnish
      to each Electing Holder copies of any such supplement or amendment prior to
      its
      being used or promptly following its filing with the Commission.

     

    (c) In
      the
      event that (i) the Issuers have not filed the Exchange Offer Registration
      Statement or Shelf Registration Statement on or before the date on which such
      registration statement is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or
      2(b),
      respectively, or (ii) such Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf
      Registration Statement has not become effective or been declared effective
      by
      the Commission on or before the date on which such registration statement is
      required to become or be declared effective pursuant to Section 2(a) or 2(b),
      respectively, or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been consummated within 60
      business days 

    
      
        
        

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

       

      after
        the
        initial effective date of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement relating
        to
        the Exchange Offer (if the Exchange Offer is then required to be made) or
        (iv)
        any Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement
        required by Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof is filed and becomes or is declared
        effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by either of the Issuers
        or
        shall become subject to an effective stop order issued pursuant to Section
        8(d)
        of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration
        statement (except as specifically permitted herein) without being succeeded
        immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective
        (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a "Registration
        Default" and each period during which a Registration Default has occurred
        and is
        continuing, a "Registration Default Period"), then, as liquidated damages
        for
        such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), special
        interest ("Special Interest"), in addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue
        on
        the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Transfer Restricted Notes
        (as
        defined below) affected by such Registration Default at a per annum rate
        of
        0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period, at a per
        annum
        rate of 0.50% for the second 90 days of the Registration Default Period,
        at a
        per annum rate of 0.75% for the third 90 days of the Registration Default
        Period
        and at a per annum rate of 1.00% thereafter for the remaining portion of
        the
        Registration Default Period. All accrued Special Interest shall be paid in
        cash
        by the Issuers on each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Indentures).
        The
        parties hereto agree that the Special Interest provided for in this Section
        2(c)
        constitutes a reasonable estimate of the damage that will be suffered by
        holders
        of Registrable Securities by reason of the happening of any Registration
        Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to
        the
        contrary, in the case of an event referred to in clause (ii) above, a
        "Registration Default" shall be deemed not to have occurred so long as the
        Issuers have used and are continuing to use their reasonable best efforts
        to
        cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration
        Statement, as the case may be, to become or be declared effective. For purposes
        of this Agreement, "Transfer Restricted Notes" shall mean, with respect to
        any
        Registration Default, any Notes or Exchange Notes which have not ceased being
        Registrable Securities pursuant to the definition thereof in Section 1 of
        this
        Agreement.

    

     

    (d) If
      any
      holder determines that it is not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer
      with respect to the exchange of Registrable Securities constituting any portion
      of an unsold allotment, then, at the request of such holder, subject to any
      prohibitions or restrictions imposed by any applicable law or regulations,
      the
      Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to issue and deliver
      to
      such holder, in exchange for such Registrable Securities, a like principal
      amount of Exchange Notes. Such issuance shall not be deemed to be part of the
      Exchange Offer. The Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts
      to
      cause the CUSIP Service Bureau to issue the same CUSIP number for Exchange
      Notes
      described in this Section 2(d) as for Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the
      Exchange Offer. Any such Exchange Notes shall, at the time of issuance, and
      subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1 hereof, constitute Registrable
      Securities for purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 2(a)
      hereof).

     

    (e) The
      Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary
      or
      advisable to be taken by them to ensure that the transactions contemplated
      herein are effected as so contemplated in Section 2(a) or 2(b)
      hereof.

     

    (f) Any
      reference herein to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed
      to
      include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by
      

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        6

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

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

     

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

     

    (a) At
      or
      before the Effective Time of the Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration,
      as
      the case may be, the Issuers shall cause the Indentures to be qualified under
      the Trust Indenture Act.

     

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

     

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

     

    (i) prepare
      and file with the Commission, on or prior to April 30, 2007, an Exchange Offer
      Registration Statement on any form which may be utilized by the Issuers and
      which shall permit the Exchange Offer and resales of Exchange Notes by
      broker-dealers during the Resale Period to be effected as contemplated by
      Section 2(a), and use their reasonable best efforts to cause such Exchange
      Offer
      Registration Statement to become or be declared effective on or prior to 90
      days
      after the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the
      Commission;

     

    (ii) as
      soon
      as practicable prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
      supplements to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the prospectus
      included therein as may be necessary to effect and maintain the effectiveness
      of
      such Exchange Offer Registration Statement for the periods and purposes
      contemplated in Section 2(a) hereof and as may be required by the applicable
      rules and regulations of the Commission and the instructions applicable to
      the
      form of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and promptly provide each
      broker-dealer holding Exchange Notes with such number of copies of the
      prospectus included therein (as then amended or supplemented), in conformity
      in
      all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust
      Indenture Act, as such broker-dealer reasonably may request prior to the
      expiration of the Resale Period, for use in connection with resales of Exchange
      Notes;

     

    (iii) promptly
      notify the holders, and each broker-dealer that has requested or received copies
      of the prospectus included in such registration statement, and confirm such
      advice in writing, (A) when such Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the
      prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or supplement or
      post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

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

     

    Upon
      receiving notice of the occurrence of any of the events listed in this Section
      3(c)(iii), each holder will, upon request by the Issuers in writing, immediately
      discontinue disposition of Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to a Registration
      Statement until such holder's receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended
      prospectus contemplated by Section 3(c)(iv) or until it is advised in writing
      by
      the Issuers that use of the applicable prospectus may resume, and, if so
      directed by the Issuers, such holder will deliver to the Issuers (at the
      Issuers' expense) all copies in such holder's possession, other than permanent
      file copies, of the prospectus covering such Notes or Exchange Notes that was
      current at the time of receipt of such notice.

     

    (iv) in
      the
      event that the Issuers would be required, pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii)(E)
      above, to notify the holders and any broker-dealers holding Exchange Notes,
      the
      Issuers shall prepare and furnish to each such holder a reasonable number of
      copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered
      to purchasers of such Exchange Notes during the Resale Period, such prospectus
      conforms in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the
      Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and shall not contain an untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
      stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
      light of the circumstances then existing and each holder hereby agrees to
      suspend use of the prospectus until the Issuers have amended or supplemented
      the
      prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission;

     

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

      (vi) use
        their
        reasonable best efforts to (A) register or qualify the Exchange Notes under
        the
        securities laws or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are contemplated
        by
        Section 2(a) no later than the commencement of the Exchange Offer, (B) keep
        such
        registrations or qualifications in effect and comply with such laws so as
        to
        permit the continuance of offers, sales and dealings therein in such
        jurisdictions until the expiration of the Resale Period and (C) take any
        and all
        other actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each
        broker-dealer holding Exchange Notes to consummate the disposition thereof
        in
        such jurisdictions; provided, however, that neither of the Issuers shall
        be
        required for any such purpose to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or
        limited
        liability company, as the case may be, in any jurisdiction wherein it would
        not
        otherwise be required to qualify but for the requirements of this Section
        3(c)(vi), (2) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction
        or
        (3) make any changes to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or other
        organizational document) or any agreement between it and holders of its
        ownership interests;

    

     

    (vii) use
      their
      reasonable best efforts to obtain the consent or approval of each governmental
      agency or authority, whether federal, state or local, which may be required
      to
      effect the Exchange Offer Registration, the Exchange Offer and the offering
      and
      sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers during the Resale Period;

     

    (viii) provide

      CUSIP number for all Exchange Notes, not later than the applicable Effective
      Time;

     

    (ix) comply
      with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally
      available to their securityholders as soon as practicable but no later than
      eighteen months after the effective date of such Exchange Offer Registration

      with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including, at the option of the
      Company, Rule 158 thereunder);

     

    (x) mail
      to
      each holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer
      Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal

    (xii) permit
      holders to withdraw tendered Notes at any time prior to the close of business,

      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 Issuers'
      information and belief, each holder participating in the Exchange Offer is
      acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of business and has no
      arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution
      of the Exchange Notes;

     

    (xiv) provide
      the Representatives, in advance of filing thereof with the Commission, a draft

      be
      filed with the Commission, each prospectus included therein or filed with the
      Commission and each amendment or supplement thereto (including any documents
      incorporated by reference therein after the initial filing), and shall use
      their
      commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed
      with the Commission, such comments as are reasonably proposed;

     

    (xv) if
      requested by a holder, promptly incorporate in the prospectus contained in
      the
      Exchange Offer Registration Statement such information as is required by the
      applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and as such holder specifies
      should be included therein relating to the terms of the sale of such Registrable
      Securities, including, without limitation, information (i) with respect to
      the
      principal amount of Registrable Securities being sold by such holder, the name

      independent certified public accountants, to supply all relevant information
      and
      to respond to such inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the judgment
      of the holders' counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the
      meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided,
      however,
      that
      each such party shall be required to maintain in confidence and not to disclose
      to any other person any information or records reasonably designated by the
      Issuers as being confidential, until such time as (A) such information becomes
      a
      matter of public record (whether by virtue of its inclusion in such registration
      statement or otherwise, except as a result of a breach of this or any other
      obligation of confidentiality to

      pursuant to a subpoena or order of any court or other governmental agency or
      body having jurisdiction over the matter (subject to the requirements of such
      order, and only after such person shall have given the Issuers prompt prior
      written notice of such requirement), or (C) such information is required to
      be
      set forth in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the prospectus
      included therein or in an amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration
      Statement or an amendment or supplement to such prospectus in order that such
      Exchange Offer Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement,
      as
      the case may be, will comply with applicable requirements of the federal
      securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Commission and will not
      contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state therein a
      material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
      therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, provided
      further,
      however,
      that
      notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (xvi), any such person
      (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such person) may disclose
      to any and all persons, without limitation, the U.S. tax treatment and any
      facts
      that may be relevant to the tax structure of the matters covered by and relating
      to this Agreement (including opinions or other tax analysis that are provided
      to
      such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure); provided, however,
      that no person (and no employee, representative, or other agent of any person)
      shall disclose any other information that is not relevant to understanding
      the
      tax treatment and tax structure of the matters covered by and relating to this
      Agreement (including the identity of any party and any information that could
      lead another to determine the identity of any party), or any other information
      to the extent that such non-disclosure is reasonably necessary in order to
      comply with applicable securities law.

     

    (d) As
      soon
      as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer, the Issuers
      shall:

     

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

     

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

     

    (iii) cause
      the
      Trustee promptly to authenticate and deliver to each holder a principal amount
      of Exchange Notes equal to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities
      of
      such holder so accepted for exchange.

     

    (e) In
      connection with the Issuers' obligations with respect to the Shelf Registration,

      Statement to become or be declared effective within the time periods specified
      in Section 2(b);

     

    (ii) not
      less
      than 30 calendar days prior to the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration
      Statement, mail the Notice and Questionnaire to the holders of Registrable
      Securities; no holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder
      in the Shelf Registration Statement as of the Effective Time, and no holder
      shall be entitled to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales
      of
      Registrable Securities at any time, unless such holder has returned a completed
      and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Issuers by the deadline for response
      set forth therein; provided,
      however,
      holders
      of Registrable Securities shall have at least 20 calendar days from the date
      on
      which the Notice and Questionnaire is first mailed to such holders to return
      a
      completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Issuers;

     

    (iii) after
      the
      Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, upon the request of any
      holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, promptly
      send a Notice and Questionnaire to such holder; provided that the Issuers shall
      not be required to take any action to name such holder as a selling
      securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to enable such holder
      to
      use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities
      until such holder has returned a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire
      to the Issuers;

     

    (iv) as
      soon
      as practicable prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
      supplements to such Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus included
      therein as may be necessary to effect and maintain the effectiveness of such
      Shelf Registration Statement for the period specified in Section 2(b) and as
      may
      be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the
      instructions applicable to the form of such Shelf Registration Statement, and
      furnish to the Electing Holders copies of any such supplement or amendment

      reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments
      as are reasonably proposed;

     

    (vii) for
      a
      reasonable period prior to the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement,
      and
      throughout the period specified in Section 2(b), make available at reasonable

      matter of public record (whether by virtue of its inclusion in such registration
      statement or otherwise, except as a result of a breach of this or any other
      obligation of confidentiality to the Issuers), or (B) such person shall be
      required so to disclose such information pursuant to a subpoena or order of

      purpose) and confirm such advice in writing, (A) when such Shelf Registration
      Statement or the prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or
      supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with

      to be delivered under the Securities Act, that such Shelf Registration
      Statement, prospectus, prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective
      amendment does not conform in all material respects to the applicable
      requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, or contains
      an

      the
      Electing Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely
      preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities
      to
      be sold, which certificates, if so required by any securities exchange upon

      no less favorable than those set forth in Section 6 with respect to all parties
      indemnified under Section 6), unless such provisions are acceptable to Electing
      Holders of at least 50% in aggregate principal amount and any managing

      or
      waiver proposed or effected, as the case may be;

     

    (xix) in
      the
      event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite
      any Registrable Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting
      syndicate or selling group or "assist in the distribution" (within the meaning
      of the Conduct Rules (the "Conduct Rules") of the National Association of
      Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or any successor thereto, as amended from
      time
      to time) thereof, whether as a holder of such Registrable Securities or as
      an
      underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect
      thereof, or 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    otherwise,
      assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Conduct
      Rules, including, without limitation, by (A) if such Conduct Rules shall so
      require, engaging a "qualified independent underwriter" (as defined in such
      Conduct Rules) to participate in the preparation of the Shelf Registration
      Statement relating to such Registrable Securities, to exercise usual standards
      of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering
      contemplated by such Shelf Registration Statement is an underwritten offering
      or
      is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such
      Registrable Securities, (B) indemnifying any such qualified independent
      underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in
      Section 6 hereof (or to such other customary extent as may be requested by
      such
      underwriter), and (C) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may
      be
      required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of
      the
      Conduct Rules; and

     

    (xx) comply
      with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally
      available to its securityholders as soon as practicable but in any event not
      later than eighteen months after the effective date of such Shelf Registration
      Statement, earning statements of the Issuers and their respective subsidiaries
      complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including, at the option
      of
      the Company, Rule 158 thereunder).

     

    (f) In
      the
      event that the Issuers would be required, pursuant to Section 3(e)(viii)(F)
      hereof, to notify the Electing Holders, the placement or sales agent, if any,
      therefor and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof, the Issuers shall
      prepare and furnish to each of the Electing Holders, to each placement or sales
      agent, if any, and to each such underwriter, if any, a reasonable number of
      copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered
      to purchasers of Registrable Securities, such prospectus conforms in all
      material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and
      the
      Trust Indenture Act, and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material
      fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
      to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
      then
      existing. Each Electing Holder agrees that upon receipt of any notice from
      the
      Issuers pursuant to Section 3(e)(viii)(F) hereof, such Electing Holder shall
      forthwith discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to
      the
      Shelf Registration Statement applicable to such Registrable Securities until
      such Electing Holder shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented
      prospectus, and if so directed by the Issuers, such Electing Holder shall
      deliver to the Issuers (at the Issuers' expense) all copies, other than
      permanent file copies, then in such Electing Holder's possession of the
      prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such
      notice.

     

    (g) In
      the
      event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the information required to be
      provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice and Questionnaire, the Issuers
      may require such Electing Holder to furnish to the Issuers such additional
      information regarding such Electing Holder and such Electing Holder's intended
      method of distribution of Registrable Securities as may be required in order
      to
      comply with the Securities Act. Each such Electing Holder agrees to notify
      the
      Issuers as promptly as 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

       

      practicable
        of any inaccuracy or change in information previously furnished by such Electing
        Holder to the Issuers or of the occurrence of any event in either case as
        a
        result of which any prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration contains
        or
        would contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Electing
        Holder or such Electing Holder's intended method of disposition of such
        Registrable Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding such
        Electing Holder or such Electing Holder's intended method of disposition
        of such
        Registrable Securities required to be stated therein or necessary to make
        the
        statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing,
        and promptly to furnish to the Issuers any additional information required
        to
        correct and update any previously furnished information or required so that
        such
        prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Electing Holder or the
        disposition of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a material
        fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
        to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
        then
        existing.

        however,
        that
        this covenant shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance
        upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Issuers
        by a
        holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein.

    

     

    (c) The
      compliance by the Issuers with all the provisions of this Exchange and
      Registration Rights Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein
      contemplated will not conflict with or result in a material breach of any of
      the
      terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage,
      deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license, franchise agreement, permit
      or
      other material agreement or instrument to which either of the Issuers or any
      of
      Charter Communications, Inc. ("CCI"), CCHC, LLC (“CCHC”), Charter Communications
      Holding Company, LLC ("Holdco") and CCH I Holdings, LLC (“CIH”), Charter
      Holdings (collectively with CCI, CCHC, Holdco and CIH, the "Parent Companies")
      or the Issuers' subsidiaries is a party or by which either of the Issuers or
      any
      of their Parent Companies or the Issuers' subsidiaries is bound or to which
      any
      of the property or assets of the Issuers or any of their Parent Companies or
      the
      Issuers' subsidiaries is subject, nor will such action result in any violation
      of the provisions of the certificate of formation, limited liability company
      agreement, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Issuers or any
      statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency
      or
      body, including without limitation, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
      the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended, the Cable Television
      Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, as amended, and the
      Telecommunications Act of 1996 (collectively, the "Cable Acts") or any order,
      rule or regulation of the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), having
      jurisdiction over the Issuers or any of their Parent Companies or the Issuers'
      subsidiaries or any of their properties, except for any such violation which
      would not materially impair the Issuers' ability to comply herewith; and no
      consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or
      with any such court or governmental agency or body is required, including,
      without limitation, under the Cable Acts or any order, rule or regulation of
      the
      FCC, for the consummation by the Issuers of the transactions contemplated by
      this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, except the registration under
      the Securities Act of the Notes, qualification of the Indentures under the
      Trust
      Indenture Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or
      qualifications as may be required under blue sky laws in connection with the
      offering and distribution of the Notes.

     

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

     

    6. Indemnification.

     

    (a) The
      Issuers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each holder
      of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, covered by
      any
      Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (including
      each holder and, with respect to any prospectus delivery as contemplated in
      Section 3(c)(ii) or (iv) hereof, each holder that is a broker-dealer and elects
      to exchange for Exchange Notes any Registrable Securities that it acquired
      for
      its own account as a result of market-making activities or other 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        21

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

       

      trading
        activities (but not directly from the Issuers or any affiliate of the Issuers)
        for Exchange Notes) (each an "Exchanging Dealer"), the affiliates, directors,
        officers, employees and agents of each such holder and each person who controls
        any such holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange
        Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
        several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities
        Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation,
        at
        common law 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 a material fact contained in the
        Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement as
        originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary prospectus
        or the prospectus included in any registration statement, or in any amendment
        thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
        or
        alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
        or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to
        reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other
        expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
        defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,
        however,
        that
        the Issuers will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss,
        claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
        statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
        therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
        to
        the Issuers by or on behalf of any such holder specifically for inclusion
        therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
        the
        Issuers may otherwise have.

    

     

    The
      Issuers, jointly and severally, also agree to indemnify or contribute as
      provided in Section 6(d) to Losses of any underwriter of Registrable Securities
      or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, registered under a Shelf Registration
      Statement, its directors, officers, employees or agents and each person who
      controls such underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or
      the
      Exchange Act, on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification
      of
      the holders provided in this Section 6(a) and shall, if requested by any holder,
      enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided
      in
      Section 3(e)(xvi) hereof.

     

    (b) Each
      holder of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes covered by an Exchange Offer
      Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement (including, with respect
      to any prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 3(c)(ii) or (iv) or
      Section 3(f) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer) severally agrees to indemnify
      and
      hold harmless the Issuers and each of their affiliates, directors, employees,
      members, managers and agents and each Person who controls the Issuers within
      the
      meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent
      as
      the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers to each such holder, but only with
      reference to written information relating to such holder furnished to the
      Issuers by or on behalf of such holder specifically for inclusion in the
      documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement
      will
      be in addition to any liability which any such holder may otherwise
      have.

     

    (c) Promptly
      after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 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 6,
      notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the
      failure so to notify the 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

       

      indemnifying
        party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above
        unless and to the extent such action and such failure results in the forfeiture
        by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will
        not,
        in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any
        indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in
        paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to
        participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any
        other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof,
        with
        counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with
        the
        consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party),
        and,
        except as provided in the next sentence, after notice from the indemnifying
        party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense
        thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party
        for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case
        subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense
        thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding the
        indemnifying party's rights in the prior sentence, the indemnified party
        shall
        have the right to employ its own counsel (and one local counsel), and the
        indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of
        such
        separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party
        to
        represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict
        of
        interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any
        such
        action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and
        the
        indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
        defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different
        from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the
        indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
        indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable
        time
        after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying
        party
        shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense
        of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall, in connection with
        any
        one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the
        same
        jurisdiction arising out of the same general circumstances or allegations,
        be
        liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys
        (in
        addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties. An indemnifying
        party shall not be liable under this Section 6 to any indemnified party
        regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment
        with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding
        in
        respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
        (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to
        such
        claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented
        to
        by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
        withheld.

    

     

    (d) In
      the
      event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6
      is
      unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any
      reason, then each applicable indemnifying party agrees to contribute to the
      aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without
      limitation, legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
      investigating or defending same) (collectively "Losses") to which such
      indemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to
      reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one
      hand
      and by the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Notes. If,
      however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not
      permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the
      notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall
      contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such
      proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but
      also
      the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the 

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

       

      one
        hand
        and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements
        or
        omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
        actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable
        considerations. Benefits received by the Issuers shall be deemed to be equal
        to
        the sum of (x) the total net proceeds from the initial placement of the Notes
        (before deducting expenses) reflected in the Dealer Manager Agreement and
        (y)
        the total amount of Special Interest which the Issuers were not required
        to pay
        as a result of registering the securities covered by the Exchange Offer
        Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in
        such
        Losses. Benefits received by the holders shall be deemed to be equal to the
        total purchase discounts and commissions as reflected in the Dealer Manager
        Agreement, and benefits received by any other holders shall be deemed to
        be
        equal to the proceeds received from the sale of the Registrable Securities
        or
        Exchange Notes, as applicable. Benefits received by any underwriter shall
        be
        deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as
        set
        forth in the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration
        Statement or Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses.
        The
        relative fault 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
        indemnifying party on the one hand or the indemnified party on the other
        and the
        parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
        to
        correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it
        would
        not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d)
        were
        determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any agents or
        underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose)
        or by
        any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
        considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid
        or
        payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages
        or
        liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above 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
        such
        action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no
        holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount
        by
        which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the
        sale of
        Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions
        applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which such holder has
        otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
        statement or omission or alleged omission, and no underwriter shall be required
        to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price
        of the
        Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds
        the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required
        to
        pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
        omission. The holders' and any underwriters' obligations in this subsection
        (d)
        to contribute are several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable
        Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them, and not
        joint. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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 Section
        6,
        each person who controls any holder, agent or underwriter within the meaning
        of
        either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer,
        employee and agent of a holder, agent or underwriter shall have the same
        rights
        to contribution as such holder, agent or underwriter, and each person who
        controls the Issuers within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the
        Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Issuers shall

    

    
      
        
        

      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    have
      the same rights to contribution as the Issuers,
      subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph
      (d).

     

    (e) The
      provisions of this Section will remain in full force and effect, regardless
      of
      any investigation made by or on behalf of any holder or the Issuers or any
      of
      the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in this Section
      hereof, and will survive the sale by a holder of securities covered by an
      Exchange Offer Registration Statement or Shelf Registration
      Statement.

     

    7. Underwritten
      Offerings.

     

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

     

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

     

    8. Rule
      144.
      Each of
      the Issuers covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to the
      extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, it shall timely
      file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the
      Securities Act (including, without limitation, the reports under Section 13
      and
      15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted
      by the Commission under the Securities Act), and shall take such further action
      as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the
      extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable
      Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations
      of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any similar
      or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the
      request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that holder's
      sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Issuers shall deliver to such holder a written
      statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

     

    9. Miscellaneous.

     

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

     

    (b) Specific
      Performance.
      The
      parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if
      the
      Issuers fail to perform any of their obligations hereunder and 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        25

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    that
      the
      holders of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such
      failure, and accordingly agree that the holders, in addition to any other remedy
      to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel
      specific performance of the obligations of the Issuers under this Exchange
      and
      Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of
      this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, in any court of the United
      States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.

     

    (c) Notices.
      All
      notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder
      shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when
      delivered by hand, if delivered personally or by courier, (ii) when sent by

    (d) Parties
      in Interest.
      All the
      terms and provisions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement shall

    such
      Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes) shall
      not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by
