         2.   Registration Under the 1933 Act.

         2.1  Exchange Offer. Each of the Company and the Guarantor shall, for
the benefit of the Holders, at the Company's cost, (A) use its reasonable best
efforts to file with the SEC an Exchange Offer Registration Statement within 120
days on an appropriate form under the 1933 Act with respect to a proposed
Exchange Offer and the issuance and delivery to the Holders, in exchange for the
Registrable Securities (other than Private Exchange Securities), of a like
principal amount of Exchange Securities, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under
the 1933 Act within 230 days of the Closing Date, (C) use its reasonable best
efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective until the
closing of the Exchange Offer, (D) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
Exchange Offer to be consummated not later than 265 days following the Closing
Date and (E) for a period of 90 days following the consummation of the exchange
offer, to make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act
to any such participating broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of
any exchange notes acquired in the exchange offer. If the Company has not
consummated the Exchange Offer within 265 days of the Closing Date, then the
Company will file as promptly as practicable a Shelf Registration Statement (as
described in Section 2.2 hereof). The Exchange Securities will be issued under
the Indenture. Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, the Company and the Guarantor shall promptly commence the Exchange
Offer, it being the objective of such Exchange Offer to enable each Holder
eligible and electing to exchange Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities
(assuming that such Holder (a) is not an "affiliate" (as such term is defined in
Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) of the Company or the Guarantor (b) is not a
broker-dealer tendering Registrable Securities acquired directly from the
Company or the Guarantor for its own account, (c) acquired the Exchange
Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder's business and (d) has no
arrangements or understandings with any Person to participate in the Exchange
Offer for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Securities) to transfer such
Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or
restrictions under the 1933 Act or under state securities or blue sky laws.
Exchange Securities will be issued under the Exchange Offer as evidence of the
same continuing indebtedness under the Securities. Under no circumstances will
the surrender of the Securities and the issue of Exchange Securities constitute
new indebtedness or obligate the Company and the Guarantor to repay the
principal amount of the Securities.

     In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantor
shall:

         (a) mail as promptly as practicable to each Holder a copy of the
Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together
with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;

         (b) keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for a period of not
less than 20 Business Days after the date notice thereof is mailed to the
Holders (or longer if required by applicable law) (such period referred to
herein as the "Exchange Period");

         (c) utilize the services of the Depositary for the Exchange Offer;

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

         (d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Securities at any
time prior to the 5:00 PM, New York City time, on the last Business Day of the
Exchange Period, by sending to the institution specified in the notice, a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such
Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange,
and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing such Holder's election to have
such Securities exchanged;

         (e) notify each Holder that any Registrable Security not tendered will
remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest, but will not retain any
rights under this Agreement (except in the case of the Initial Purchasers and
Participating Broker-Dealers as provided herein); and

         (f) otherwise comply in all respects with all applicable laws relating
to the Exchange Offer.

     If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchasers
hold any Securities acquired by them and having the status of an unsold
allotment in the initial distribution, the Company and the Guarantor upon the
request of any Initial Purchaser shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the
Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to such Initial
Purchaser in exchange (the "Private Exchange") for the Securities held by such
Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Company on
a senior basis, unconditionally guaranteed as to payment of principal (premium,
if any), interest and additional amounts, if any, by the Guarantor, that are
identical (except that such securities shall bear appropriate transfer
restrictions) to the Exchange Securities (the "Private Exchange Securities").

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

     As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer and/or the
Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company and the Guarantor shall:

           (i)  accept for exchange all Registrable Securities duly tendered and
     not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer in accordance with the
     terms of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the letter of
     transmittal which shall be an exhibit thereto;

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

           (ii)  accept for exchange all Registrable Securities properly
     tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Private Exchange;

           (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for
     cancellation all Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange; and

           (iv)  cause the Trustee promptly to authenticate and deliver Exchange
     Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, to each
     Holder of Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange in a principal
     amount equal to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities of such
     Holder so accepted for exchange.

     Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security will
accrue from the last date on which interest was paid on the Registrable
Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on
the Registrable Securities, from the date of original issuance. The Exchange
Offer and the Private Exchange shall not be subject to any conditions, other
than (i) that the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, or the making of any
exchange by a Holder, as the case may be, does not violate applicable law or any
applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC, (ii) the valid tendering of
Registrable Securities in accordance with the Exchange Offer and the Private
Exchange, (iii) that each Holder of Registrable Securities exchanged in the
Exchange Offer shall have represented that all Exchange Securities to be
received by it shall be acquired in the ordinary course of its business and that
at the time of the consummation of the Exchange Offer it shall have no
arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution
(within the meaning of the 1933 Act) of the Exchange Securities and shall have
made such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable
SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to render the use of Form F-4 or other
appropriate form under the 1933 Act available and (iv) that no action or
proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before
any governmental agency with respect to the Exchange Offer or the Private
Exchange which, in the judgment of the Company and the Guarantor, would
reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Company or the Guarantor to
proceed with the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange. The Company and the
Guarantor shall, to the extent such information is available to the Company or
the Guarantor, inform the Initial Purchasers of the names and addresses of the
Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, subject to the right of any Holder
to object to the disclosure of such information with respect to such Holder, and
the Initial Purchasers shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to
contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable
Securities in the Exchange Offer.

     Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this
Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor shall have no further obligation to
register the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement.

     2.2 Shelf Registration. (i) If, because of any changes in law, SEC rules or
regulations or applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the SEC, the
Company and the Guarantor determine after consultation with its outside counsel
that the Company or the Guarantor is not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer
as contemplated by Section 2.1 hereof, (ii) if for any other

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

reason (A) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective
within 230 days following the Closing Date or (B) the Exchange Offer is not
consummated within 265 days after the Closing Date, (iii) upon the request of
any of the Initial Purchasers holding Private Exchange Securities issued with
respect to Registrable Securities that were not eligible to be exchanged for
Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer or if the Initial Purchasers do not
receive freely tradable Exchange Securities in the Exchange Offer, (iv) upon
notice of any Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) given to the Company or
the Guarantor in writing within 35 days after the commencement of the Exchange
Offer that (A) due to a change in law or SEC policy it is not entitled to
participate in the Exchange Offer, (B) due to a change in law or SEC policy it
may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to
the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such
resales by such Holder or (C) it is a broker-dealer and owns Registrable
Securities acquired directly from the Company or the Guarantor or an "affiliate"
of the Company or the Guarantor (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the
1933 Act) or (v) the holders of a majority of the Exchange Securities may not
resell the Exchange Notes acquired by them in the Exchange Offer to the public
without restriction under the 1933 Act and without restriction under applicable
blue sky or state securities laws, then in case of each of clauses (i) through
(v) the Company and the Guarantor shall, at their cost:

                  (a) As promptly as practicable, file with the SEC, and
         thereafter shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be
         declared effective as promptly as practicable but no later than 230
         days after the Closing Date, a Shelf Registration Statement relating to
         the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders from
         time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by
         the Majority Holders participating in the Shelf Registration and set
         forth in such Shelf Registration Statement.

                  (b) Use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf
         Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the
         Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders until the
         earlier of (A) two years from the date the Shelf Registration Statement
         is declared effective by the SEC, (B) the date on which the Registrable
         Securities become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any
         successor provision or (C) the date on which all Registrable Securities
         covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to
         the Shelf Registration Statement or cease to be outstanding or
         otherwise to be Registrable Securities (the "Effectiveness Period");
         provided, however, that the Effectiveness Period in respect of the
         Shelf Registration Statement shall be extended if and to the extent
         necessary to permit dealers to comply with the applicable prospectus
         delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the 1933 Act and as otherwise
         provided herein.

                  (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, use their
         reasonable best efforts to ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration

         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading and (iii) any Prospectus forming
         part of any Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to such
         Prospectus (as amended or supplemented from time to time), does not
         include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
         material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
         light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

         The Company and the Guarantor further agree, if necessary, to
supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, as required by Section
3(b) below, and to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of
any such supplement or amendment as promptly as reasonably practicable after its
being used or filed with the SEC.

         2.3 Expenses. The Company and the Guarantor shall pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2.
Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer
taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder's Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

         2.4 Effectiveness. (a) The Company and the Guarantor will be deemed not
to have used reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become, or
to remain, effective during the requisite period if the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, voluntarily takes any action that would, or omits
to take any action which omission would, result in any such Registration
Statement not being declared effective or in the Holders of Registrable
Securities covered thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell such
Registrable Securities during that period as and to the extent contemplated
hereby, unless (i) such action is required by applicable law, or (ii) such
action is taken by the Company or the Guarantor in good faith and for valid
business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company's or the Guarantor's
obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets or a
material corporate transaction or event, so long as the Company and the
Guarantor promptly thereafter comply with the requirements of Section 3(k)
hereof, if applicable.

         (b) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1
hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof will not
be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the
SEC; provided, however, that if, after it has been declared effective, the
offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop
order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other
governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to
have become effective during the period of such interference, until the offering
of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally
resume.

         (c) During any period of 365 consecutive days, the Company and the
Guarantor may suspend the availability of a Shelf Registration Statement and the
use of a related Prospectus for periods up to 45 consecutive days (each such
period, a "Suspension Period") (except for such 45-

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

day period immediately prior to maturity of the Securities), but no more than an
aggregate of 60 days during any period of 365 consecutive days, if (A) any event
shall occur as set forth in Section 2.4(a)(i) or (ii) or as a result of which it
shall be necessary, in the good faith determination of the board of directors of
the Company or the Guarantor, to amend the Shelf Registration Statement or amend
or supplement any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereunder in order that
each such document not include any untrue statements of material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (B) the Guarantor
or the Company has not filed with the SEC the financial statements required by
the applicable rules and regulations for the Shelf Registration Statement to
remain active; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file any such amendment or
supplement as promptly as practicable. The two-year period referred to in
Section 2.2(b) shall be extended by an amount of time equal to all such
Suspension Periods.

         2.5 Interest. The Indenture will provide that in the event that either
(a) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or
prior to the 120th calendar day following the Closing Date, (b) the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the
230th calendar day following the Closing Date or the Exchange Offer is not
consummated on or prior to the 265th calendar date after the Closing Date, or
(c) if required, a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective, in
either case, on or prior to the 265th calendar day following the Closing Date
(each such event referred to in clauses (a) through (c) above, a "Registration
Default"), the interest rate borne by the Securities shall be increased
("Additional Interest") by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum upon the
occurrence of each Registration Default, which rate will increase by one quarter
of one percent (0.25%) at the beginning of each succeeding 90-day period (or
portion thereof) that such Additional Interest continues to accrue under any
such circumstance; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate increase in the
interest rate will in no event exceed one percent (1%) per annum; provided
further, that no Additional Interest shall be payable if the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not filed or declared effective or the Exchange Offer
is not consummated on account of the reasons set forth in clause (i) of the
first paragraph of this Section 2.2 (it being understood, however, that in any
such case the Company and the Guarantor shall be obligated to file a Shelf
Registration Statement and Additional Interest shall be payable if the Shelf
Registration Statement is not declared effective in accordance with clause (c)),
that no Additional Interest shall be payable if the Shelf Registration Statement
is not declared effective as set forth above because the request under clause
(iii) of Section 2.2 or notice under clause (iv) of such paragraph was not made
on a timely basis; and provided further, that Additional Interest shall only be
payable in case the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective as
aforesaid. Immediately following the cure of a Registration Default, the accrual
of Additional Interest with respect to that particular Registration Default will
cease. Immediately following the cure of all Registration Defaults or the date
on which the Exchange Securities are saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
1933 Act or any successor provision, the accrual of Additional Interest will
cease and the interest rate will revert to the original rate.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

         If the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective but becomes
unusable by the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf
Registration Statement ("Shelf Registrable Securities") for any reason, and the
aggregate number of days in any consecutive 365 day period for which the Shelf
Registration Statement shall not be usable exceeds 60 days in the aggregate,
then the interest rate borne by the Shelf Registrable Securities will be
increased by 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities for the
first 90-day period (or portion thereof) beginning on the 61st such day that
such Shelf Registration Statement remains unusable. If the Shelf Registration
Statement remains unusable for 60 days during any 90-day period for which
Additional Interest shall be payable pursuant to this paragraph, then the
interest rate borne by the Shelf Registrable Securities during such 90-day
period shall be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum of the principal
amount of the Securities at the beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period;
provided, however, that the maximum aggregate increase in the interest rate as a
result of a Shelf Registration Statement being unusable (inclusive of any
interest that accrues on such Shelf Registrable Securities pursuant to the first
paragraph of this Section 2.5) will in no event exceed one percent (1%) per
annum. Upon the Shelf Registration Statement once again becoming usable, the
interest rate borne by the Shelf Registrable Securities will be reduced to the
original interest rate. Additional Interest shall be computed based on the
actual number of days elapsed in each 90-day period for which Additional
Interest is due.

         The Company and the Guarantor shall notify the Trustee within five
business days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of
which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an "Event Date"). Additional
Interest shall be paid in the same manner as regular interest pursuant to the
Indenture. The Additional Interest due shall be payable on each interest payment
date to the record Holder of Securities entitled to receive the interest payment
to be paid on such date as set forth in the Indenture. Each obligation to pay
Additional Interest shall be deemed to accrue from and including the day
following the applicable Event Date and shall be guaranteed by the Guarantor.

         2.6 Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Company and the Guarantor shall, for
the benefit of the Holders, use its reasonable best efforts to (A) file an
application to list the Exchange Securities and the Shelf Registrable
Securities, if any, on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange; (B) inform the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange and cause notice to be published in a daily newspaper of general
circulation in Luxembourg prior to commencing the Exchange Offer and/or upon the
filing of Shelf Registration; (C) to the extent required by applicable
regulation, provide to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange documents relating to the
Exchange Offer or Shelf Registration and consummate the exchange at the office
of Dexia Banque Internationale a Luxembourg societe anonyme (or any successor
thereto if applicable) the listing, paying and transfer agent in Luxembourg and
(D) notify the Luxembourg Stock Exchange of the results of the Exchange Offer or
the Shelf Registration, including any increase in the interest rate, and to
cause such notice to be published in a daily newspaper of general circulation in
Luxembourg.

Holder so requests, all exhibits (but not more than one set of such exhibits for
each Holder) in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the

<PAGE>

accordance with applicable law, in connection with the offering and sale of the
Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto;

              (d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws
of such jurisdictions as the Initial Purchasers or Majority Holders
participating in the Shelf Registration and each underwriter of an underwritten
offering of Registrable Securities shall reasonably request by the time the

enable each such Initial Purchasers or Majority Holders and underwriter,

Company that it is utilizing the Exchange Offer Registration Statement as
provided in paragraph (f) below (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii), (iv),
(v) and (vi) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend use of the
Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) and, if requested by such
Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, confirm such advice in writing (if such
notice was not originally given in writing) promptly (i) when a Registration
Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendments and
supplements thereto become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any
state securities authority for post-effective amendments and supplements to a

Guarantor contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or
other similar agreement, if any, relating to the offering cease to be true and
correct in all material respects, (v) of the happening of any event or the

Citigroup, CSFB and Deutsche Bank, on behalf of the Participating
Broker-Dealers, if any, and which shall contain a summary statement of the

              (j) in the case of a Shelf Registration, (unless any Registrable

as the selling Initial Purchasers, if any, or Majority Holders or the
underwriters, selected by such Initial Purchasers or Majority Holders, if any,
may reasonably request at least three business days prior to the closing of any
sale of Shelf Registrable Securities;

              (k) in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of
any event or the discovery of any facts, each as contemplated by Sections
3(e)(v) and 3(e)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of
such an event, subject to section 2.4(c), use its commercially reasonable best
efforts to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered
to the purchasers of the Shelf Registrable Securities or Participating
Broker-Dealers, such Prospectus will not contain at the time of such delivery
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. At such time as such public disclosure is
otherwise made or the Company and the Guarantor determine that such disclosure
is not necessary, in each case to correct any misstatement of a material fact or
to include any omitted material fact, the Company agrees promptly to notify each
Holder of such determination and to furnish each Holder such number of copies of
the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, as such Holder may reasonably request
and the Initial Purchasers, on their own behalf and on behalf of subsequent
holders, hereby agree

                                      -16-

to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Company has amended or supplemented
to correct such misstatement or omission;

              (l) in the case of a Shelf Registration, a reasonable time prior

such Holders, available for discussion of such document;

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

connection with the registration of the Exchange Securities or Registrable
Securities, as the case may be, (ii) cooperate with the Trustee to effect such
changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified
in accordance with the terms of the TIA and (iii) execute, and use its best
efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to
effect such changes, and all other forms and documents required to be filed with
the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

              (o) in the case of a Shelf Registration, and considering the
method of distribution selected by the Majority Holders, enter into customary
agreements (including underwriting agreements and, if requested by the Initial
Purchasers, if any, or the Majority Holders, as the case may be, securities

for the selling Holders for the purpose of soliciting purchases of Shelf
Registrable Securities, which agreement shall be in form, substance and scope
customary for similar offerings) and take all other customary and appropriate
actions in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Shelf
Registrable Securities, including in the case of an underwritten offering:

              (i) make such representations and warranties to the underwriters
     selected by such Initial Purchasers or Majority Holders, as the case may
     be, and to the Holders selling through such underwriters, comparable in
     form, substance and scope to the representations and warranties made by the
     Company and the Guarantor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;

              (ii) if so requested by the Initial Purchasers, if any, the
     Majority Holders or the underwriters selected by such Initial Purchasers or
     Majority Holders, as the case may

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

     be, obtain opinions of United States, Dutch and Greek counsel to the
     Company and the Guarantor (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory
     to the underwriters, if any, selected by such Initial Purchasers, Majority
     Holders) and updates thereof addressed to such underwriters and to the
     Holders selling through such underwriters, covering matters comparable in
     form, substance and scope to those covered in the opinions delivered by the
     various counsels to the Company and the Guarantor pursuant to the Purchase
     Agreement and subject to exceptions and qualifications comparable in form,
     substance and scope to those contained in such delivered opinions;

              (iii) if so requested by the Initial Purchasers, if any, the
     Majority Holders or the underwriters selected by such Initial Purchasers or
     Majority Holders, as the case may be, obtain "cold comfort" letters and
     updates thereof from the Guarantor's independent certified public
     accountants (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public
     accountants of any subsidiary of the Guarantor, including the Company or of
     any business acquired by the Guarantor for which financial statements are,
     or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement) addressed to
     the underwriters selected by the Initial Purchasers or the Majority
     Holders, as the case may be, and to the Holders selling through such
     underwriters, such letters to be in customary form and in accordance with
     applicable accounting standards and covering matters of the type
     customarily covered in "cold comfort" letters to underwriters in connection
     with similar underwritten offerings;

              (iv) cause the same to set forth indemnification provisions and
     procedures comparable in scope to the indemnification provisions and
     procedures set forth in Section 4 hereof with respect to the underwriters
     and all other parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section or, at the
     request of any underwriters, such other indemnification provisions
     customarily provided to underwriters under the circumstances applicable to
     the offering; provided, however, that such underwriting agreement shall
     contain indemnification provisions and procedures regarding the
     indemnification of the Company and the Guarantor with respect to
     information provided by the underwriter or by any other party to be
     indemnified under Section 4 hereof, comparable in scope to the
     indemnification provisions and procedures set forth in Section 4 hereof or,
     at the request of the Company or the Guarantor, such other indemnification
     provisions customarily provided under the circumstances applicable to the
     offering; and

              (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably
     requested and as are customarily delivered in similar offerings to the
     Initial Purchasers, if any, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
     of the Shelf Registrable Securities being sold and the underwriters.

The above shall be done at each closing under any underwriting or similar
agreement as and to the extent required thereunder;

              (p) in the case of a Shelf Registration or if a Prospectus is
required to be delivered by any Participating Broker-Dealer in the case of an
Exchange Offer, make available for inspection by representatives of the Initial
Purchasers, if any, the Majority Holders, any

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

underwriters, selected by such Initial Purchasers or Majority Holders, as the
case may be, participating in any disposition pursuant to a Shelf Registration
Statement, any Participating Broker-Dealer (provided that a Participating
Broker-Dealer shall not be deemed to be an underwriter solely as a result of it
being required to deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of Exchange
Securities), any Special Counsel or any accountant retained by any of the
foregoing, all such financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents
and properties of the Company and the Guarantor reasonably requested by any such
persons, and cause the respective officers, directors, employees, and any other
agents of the Company and the Guarantor to respond to such queries, as shall be
reasonably necessary to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of
Section 11 of the 1933 Act; provided, however, that such records, documents or
information which the Company or the Guarantor identifies as being confidential
shall not be disclosed by the representative, Holder, attorney or accountant
unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in a Registration Statement, (ii)
the release of such records, documents or information is ordered pursuant to a
subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or as part of the
evidentiary procedures of a court of competent jurisdiction, subject to the
requirements of such subpoena or order, and only after such person shall have
given the Company and the Guarantor reasonable prior notice of such
requirements; or (iii) such records, documents or information have previously
been generally made available to the public, and provided further, that the
Company and/or the Guarantor may require recipients of such records, documents
or information to enter into a confidentiality agreement.

              (q) (i) in the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a
reasonable time prior to the filing of any Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, any Prospectus forming a part thereof, any amendment to an Exchange
Offer Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to such Prospectus,
provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers and to Sidley Austin
Brown & Wood LLP, as counsel to the Holders of Registrable Securities, and make
such changes in any such document prior to the filing thereof as the Initial
Purchasers or such counsel to the Holders of Registrable Securities may
reasonably request and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, not file
any such document in a form to which the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the
Holders of Registrable Securities and such counsel to the Holders of Registrable
Securities shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy of or to
which the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities
or such counsel to the Holders of Registrable Securities shall reasonably
object, and make the representatives of the Company and the Guarantor available
for discussion of such documents as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial
Purchasers; and

              (ii) in the case of a Shelf Registration, a reasonable time prior
to filing any Shelf Registration Statement, any Prospectus forming a part
thereof, any amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or
supplement to such Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Initial
Purchasers, if any, the Majority Holders, or Special Counsel and to the
underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of Shelf Registrable
Securities, if any, as appointed by the Initial Purchasers or the Majority
Holders, as the case may be, make such changes in any such document prior to the
filing thereof as the Initial Purchasers, Special

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

Counsel or the underwriter or underwriters reasonably request and not file any
such document in a form to which the Majority Holders of Shelf Registrable
Securities, the Initial Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable
Securities, Special Counsel or any underwriter shall not have previously been
advised and furnished a copy of or to which such Majority Holders, the Initial
Purchasers on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities, Special Counsel
or any underwriter shall reasonably object, and make the representatives of the
Company and the Guarantor available for discussion of such document as shall be
reasonably requested by the Majority Holders, the Initial Purchasers on behalf
of such Holders, Special Counsel or any underwriter.

              (r) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its reasonable best
efforts to cause all Exchange Securities and Shelf Registrable Securities to be
listed on any securities exchange on which similar debt securities issued by the
Company or the Guarantor are then listed if requested by the Majority Holders or
if requested by the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering of
Registrable Securities, if any;

              (s) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its reasonable best
efforts to cause the Shelf Registrable Securities to be rated by two nationally
recognized statistical rating agencies, if so requested by the Initial
Purchasers, if any, or the Majority Holders, or if requested by the underwriter
or underwriters as appointed by the Initial Purchasers, if any, or the Majority
Holders of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any;

              (t) otherwise comply with all applicable rules and regulations of
the SEC and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably
practicable, an earnings statement of the Guarantor covering at least 12 months
which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including,
at the option of the Guarantor, Rule 158 thereunder;

              (u) cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with
the NASD and, in the case of a Shelf Registration, in the performance of any due
diligence investigation by any underwriter as appointed by the Initial
Purchasers, if any, or the Majority Holders and such underwriter's counsel
(including any "qualified independent underwriter" that is required to be
retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD); and

              (v) upon consummation of an Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange,
obtain a customary opinion of counsel to the Company and the Guarantor addressed
to the Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of Registrable Securities
participating in the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, and which includes an
opinion that (i) the Company and the Guarantor have duly authorized, executed
and delivered the Exchange Securities and/or Private Exchange Securities, as
applicable, and the related indenture, and (ii) each of the Exchange Securities
and related indenture constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company and the Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantor in
accordance with its terms (with customary exceptions).

         In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the
Guarantor may (as a condition to such Holder's participation in the Shelf
Registration) require each Holder of Shelf

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company and the Guarantor such
information regarding the Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of
such Shelf Registrable Securities as the Company and the Guarantor may from time
to time reasonably request in writing for use in connection with any Shelf
Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, including without
limitation, information specified in Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the 1933
Act.

         In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that,
upon receipt of any notice from the Company or the Guarantor of the happening of
any event or the discovery of any facts, each of the kind described in Section
3(e)(v) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder's
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by
Section 3(k) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company or the Guarantor, such
Holder will deliver to the Company or the Guarantor (at the expense of the
Company and the Guarantor) all copies in such Holder's possession, other than
permanent file copies then in such Holder's possession, of the Prospectus
covering such Shelf Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of
such notice.

         If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf Registration
Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the underwriter or
underwriters and manager or managers that will manage such offering will be
selected by the Majority Holders of such Registrable Securities included in such
offering, provided, however, that such selection is acceptable to the Company.
No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten
registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) 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 (b)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.

     4.  Indemnification; Contribution.

              (a) Each of the Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally,
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its selling
agents, each Holder, including Participating Broker-Dealers, each Person who
participates as an underwriter (any such Person being an "Underwriter"), their
respective affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act
(each, an "Affiliate")), and each Person, if any, who "controls" any of such
indemnified parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section
20 of the 1934 Act as follows:

              (i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
     whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged
     untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement
     (or any amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which Exchange
     Securities or Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act,
     including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission
     or

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

     alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein
     or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out
     of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
     contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the
     omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in
     order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
     under which they were made, not misleading;

              (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
     expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid
     in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
     governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim
     whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
     alleged untrue statement or omission; provided, however, that (subject to
     Section 4(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written
     consent of the Company or the Guarantor; and

              (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
     (including, in the case where the indemnified parties are entitled to
     appoint counsel in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section), the
     reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the indemnified
     parties) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
     against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any
     governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
     whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
     alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense
     is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the
Guarantor by the Holder or Underwriter expressly for use in a Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto).

              (b) In the case of a Shelf Registration, each Holder severally,
but not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the
Guarantor, the Initial Purchasers, each Underwriter and the other selling
Holders, and each of their respective directors and officers, and each Person,
if any, who controls the Company, the Guarantor, the Initial Purchasers, any
Underwriter or any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability,
claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 4(a)
hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or
alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Shelf Registration Statement
(or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus included therein (or any amendment
or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information with respect to such Holder furnished to the Company or the
Guarantor by such Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration Statement
(or any amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto); provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any claims
hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from
the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration
Statement; and provided

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

further, that no such underwriter shall be liable for any claims hereunder in
excess of the amount of any underwriting fees or discounts received by such
underwriter with respect to the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Shelf Registration Statement.

              (c) Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to
so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from
any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a
result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it
may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. The indemnifying
party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party's choice at
the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party and any
other indemnified parties as the indemnifying party may designate in any action
for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall
not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel
retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below);
provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint
counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including 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 reasonably 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; provided, however, that (i), (ii) and (iii)
above notwithstanding, an indemnified party may participate at its own expense
in the defense of any such action. It is understood that the indemnifying party
shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm for all indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall, without
the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or
contribution could be sought under this Section 4 (whether or not the
indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such
settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation,
investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.

              (d) If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel, such

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the
nature contemplated by Section 4(a)(ii) effected without its written consent if
(i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such
indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall
have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to
such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not
have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to
the date of such settlement; provided, however, that an indemnifying party shall
not be liable for any such settlement effected without its consent if such
indemnifying party, prior to the date of such settlement, (x) reimburses such
indemnified party in accordance with such request for the amount of such fees
and expenses of counsel as the indemnifying party believes in good faith to be
reasonable, and (y) provides written notice to the indemnified party that the
indemnifying party disputes in good faith the reasonableness of the unpaid
balance of such fees and expenses.

              (e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is for
any reason unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in
respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to
therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount
of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such
indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company or the Guarantor on the
one hand and the Initial Purchasers on another hand, and the Holders on another
hand, from the offering of the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities
included in such offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) 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 Guarantor on the one hand, and the Initial
Purchasers on another hand, and the Holders on another hand, in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims,
damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

         The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand,
and the Initial Purchasers on another hand, and the Holders on another hand,
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the
Guarantor, the Initial Purchasers or the Holders and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.

         The Company, the Guarantor, the Holders and the Initial Purchasers
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers
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 Section 4. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims,
damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in
this Section 4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending
against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, no Initial Purchaser
shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the
total price at which the Securities purchased and sold by it were offered
exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission.

         No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

         For purposes of this Section 4, each Person, if any, who controls an
Initial Purchaser or Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or
Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Initial Purchaser's or Holder's Affiliates
and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial
Purchaser or Holder, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or the
Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the
1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the
Guarantor. The Initial Purchasers' respective obligations to contribute pursuant
to this Section 4 are several in proportion to the principal amount of
Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A to the
Purchase Agreement and not joint.

         5.   Miscellaneous.

         5.1  Rule 144 and Rule 144A. For so long as the Guarantor is
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the 1934 Act, the
Guarantor covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it
under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations
adopted by the SEC thereunder. If the Guarantor ceases to be so required to file
such reports, the Guarantor covenants that it will upon the request of any
Holder of Registrable Securities (a) make publicly available such information as
is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (b)
deliver such information to a prospective purchaser as is necessary under
applicable rules and regulations to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the
1933 Act and it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable
Securities may reasonably request, and (c) take such further action that is
reasonable in the circumstances, in each case, to the extent required from time
to time to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable Securities without
registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided
by (i) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to
time, (ii) Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time
to time, or (iii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC.
Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Guarantor will
deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with
such requirements. The Guarantor's obligations under this Section 5.1 shall
terminate upon the later of the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the
Effectiveness Period.

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

         5.2  No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor the
Guarantor has entered into, and each of the Company and the Guarantor will not
after the date of this Agreement enter into, any agreement that could interfere
with the Company's or the Guarantor's performance of their respective
obligations hereunder or that could prevent or limit the Holders of Registrable
Securities from enjoying the rights granted to them hereunder. The rights
granted to the Holders hereunder do not and will not for the term of this
Agreement in any way conflict with any material rights granted to the holders of
the Company's or the Guarantor's other issued and outstanding securities under
any such agreements.

         5.3  Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given unless the Company and the Guarantor have obtained the written
consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification,
supplement, waiver or departure.

         5.4  Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered
first-class mail, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (a)
if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company
by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section
5.4, which address initially is the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement
with respect to the Initial Purchasers; and (b) if to the Company or the
Guarantor, initially at the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and
thereafter at such other address of which notice is given in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 5.4.

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

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

         5.5  Successor and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each
of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an
express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided, however, that nothing herein
shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of
Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or
the Indenture. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable
Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such
Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this
Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such person
shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictions on resale
set forth in this Agreement and,

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

if applicable, the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture, and such person shall
be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.

         5.6  Third Party Beneficiaries. The Initial Purchasers (even if the
Initial Purchasers are not Holders of Registrable Securities) shall be third
party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the
Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, and shall have
the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they deem such
enforcement necessary or advisable to protect their rights or the rights of
Holders hereunder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall be a third party
beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the
Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and
shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems
such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder.

         5.7  Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies available
to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Company and the Guarantor
acknowledge that any failure by the Company or the Guarantor to comply with its
obligations under Sections 2.1 through 2.4 hereof may result in material
irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is
no adequate remedy at law, that it would not be possible to measure damages for
such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial
Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to
specifically enforce the Company's or the Guarantor's obligations under Sections
2.1 through 2.4 hereof.

         5.8  Restriction on Resales. Until the expiration of two years
after the original issuance of the Securities, the Company and the Guarantor
will not, and will cause their "affiliates" (as such term is defined in Rule
144(a)(1) under the 1933 Act) not to, resell any Securities which are
"restricted securities" (as such term is defined under Rule 144(a)(3) under the
1933 Act) that have been reacquired by any of them.

         5.9  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.

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

        5.11 GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT FOR
SERVICE OF PROCESS; FOREIGN TAXES; JUDGMENT CURRENCY.

              (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THEREOF.

              (b) Each of the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantor
irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding
against it with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter
arising out of or based on this Agreement may be

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

brought in any United States federal or state court in the State of New York,
County of New York.

              (c) To the extent that either the Company, the Guarantor or any of
their respective properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become
entitled to, or have attributed to them, any right of immunity, on the grounds
of sovereignty, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or
counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, from
attachment upon or prior to judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution of
judgment, or from execution of judgment, or other legal process or proceeding
for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of any judgment, in any
jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, with respect to
their obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any additional agreement, the Company and the
Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, waive and agree not to plead or claim any such immunity and
consent to such relief and enforcement.

              (d) Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably
designate, appoint and empower CT Corporation System with offices currently at
111 Eight Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10011, USA, as their designee,
appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on their behalf,
and their properties, assets and revenues, service of any and all legal process,
summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action, suit or
proceeding brought against them in any such United States or state court located
in the County of New York with respect to their obligations, liabilities or any
other matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and that may be
made on such designee, appointee and agent in accordance with legal procedures
prescribed for such courts. If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent
hereunder shall cease to be available to act as such, the Company and the
Guarantor agree to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in the County
of New York on the terms and for the purposes of this Section 5.11(d)
satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers or the Majority Holders, as the case may
be. The Company and the Guarantor further hereby irrevocably consent and agree
to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents in
any such action, suit or proceeding against them by serving a copy thereof upon
the relevant agent for service of process referred to in this Section 5.11(d)
(whether or not the appointment of such agent shall for any reason prove to be
ineffective or such agent shall accept or acknowledge such service) or by
mailing copies thereof by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, to
the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, at its address specified in or
designated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Company and the Guarantor
agree that the failure of any such designee, appointee and agent to give any
notice of such service to it shall not impair or affect in any way the validity
of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based
thereon. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the
Initial Purchasers or the Majority Holders, as the case may be, to service any
such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner permitted
by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the Company and the Guarantor
or bring actions, suits or proceedings against it in such other jurisdictions,
and in such manner, as may be permitted by applicable law. The Company and the
Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive,

                                      -28-

to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that they may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions, suits or
proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement brought in the
U.S. federal courts located in the County of New York or the courts of the State
of New York located in the County of New York and hereby further irrevocably and
unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum. The provisions of this Section 5.11(d) shall survive
termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part.

              (e) All payments by the Company or the Guarantor to each of the
Initial Purchasers hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present and future
income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions
or withholdings, now or hereinafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or
assessed by the Hellenic Republic or The Netherlands or any other jurisdiction
in which the Guarantor or the Company has an office from which payment is made
or deemed to be made, excluding (i) any such tax imposed by reason of such
Initial Purchaser having some connection with any such jurisdiction other than
its participation as Initial Purchaser hereunder, and (ii) any income or
franchise tax on the overall net income of such Initial Purchaser imposed by the
United States or by the State of New York or any political subdivision of the
United States or of the State of New York (all such non-excluded taxes, "Foreign
Taxes"), provided, however, that no additional amounts shall be due from the
Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, to the Initial Purchasers, if the
Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, are not obligated to pay any such
additional amounts under Section 1007 of the Indenture. If the Company or the
Guarantor is prevented by operation of law or otherwise from paying, causing to
be paid or remitting that portion of amounts payable hereunder represented by
Foreign Taxes withheld or deducted, then amounts payable under this Agreement
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be increased to such amount as is
necessary to yield and remit to each Initial Purchaser an amount which, after
deduction of all Foreign Taxes (including all Foreign Taxes payable on such
increased payments) equals the amount that would have been payable if no Foreign
Taxes applied.

              (f) The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally agree to
indemnify the Initial Purchasers against any loss incurred by such Initial
Purchaser as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any
amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a
currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than U.S. dollars and as a result of
any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar
amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment
or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the Initial Purchasers are able
to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually
received by the Initial Purchasers. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a
separate and independent obligation of the Company and the Guarantor and shall
continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as
aforesaid. The term "rate of exchange" shall include any premiums and costs of
exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the
relevant currency.

                                 August 15, 2003

Mr. George David
Chairman
Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A.
Athens
Greece

Dear George:

         I am pleased to confirm that, pursuant to the recent business
discussions between Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. and The Coca-Cola
Company, we intend to extend the term of each of the bottlers' agreements
granted to Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company S.A. and its operating
subsidiaries.

         Giving effect to the extension, the term of each of the bottlers'
agreements would be ten years commencing January 1, 2004, with a right on the
part of the bottler to request renewal for a further ten years as provided in
the bottlers' agreement.

         I look forward to the continued success of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling
Company and to the continuation of the strong cooperative relationship between
The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Hellenic Company S.A.

         Warm personal regards.

                                    Sincerely,
                                /s/ Douglas N. Daft
