1.   Purpose of the Plan

The purpose of the Plan is to aid the Company and its Subsidiaries in recruiting
and retaining key individuals of outstanding ability and to motivate such
individuals to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company and its
Subsidiaries by providing incentives through the granting of Awards. The Company
expects that it will benefit from the added interest which such key individuals
will have in the welfare of the Company as a result of their proprietary
interest in the Company's success.

90,000,000. The maximum number of Shares for which Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights may be granted during a calendar year to any Participant
shall be 5,000,000. The Shares may consist, in whole or in part, of unissued
Shares or treasury Shares. The issuance of Shares or the payment of cash upon
the exercise of an Award shall reduce the total number of Shares available under
the Plan, as applicable. Shares which are subject to Awards which terminate or
lapse may be granted again under the Plan.

4.   Administration

     The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which may delegate its
duties and powers in whole or in part to any subcommittee thereof consisting
solely of at least two individuals who are intended to qualify as  "non-employee
directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Act (or any successor rule
thereto) and "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code (or any successor section thereto). Awards may, in the discretion of the
Committee, be made under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for,
outstanding awards previously granted by the Company or its affiliates or a
company acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines.  The number
of Shares underlying such substitute awards shall be counted against the
aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan.  The Committee
is authorized to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules
and regulations relating to the Plan, and to make any other determinations that
it deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. The
Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan in the manner and to the extent the Committee deems
necessary or desirable. Any decision of the Committee in the interpretation and
administration of the Plan, as described herein, shall lie within its sole and
absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties
concerned (including, but not limited to, Participants and their beneficiaries
or successors). The Committee shall have the full power and authority to
establish the terms and conditions of any Award consistent with the provisions
of the Plan and to waive any such terms and conditions at any time (including,
without limitation, accelerating or waiving any vesting conditions).  The
Committee shall require payment of any amount it may determine to be necessary
to withhold for federal, state, local or other taxes as a result of the exercise
of an Award. Unless the Committee specifies otherwise, the
<PAGE>

Participant may elect to pay a portion or all of such withholding taxes by (a)
delivery in Shares or (b) having Shares withheld by the Company from any Shares
that would have otherwise been received by the Participant.

5.   Limitations

     No Award may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the
Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.

6.   Terms and Conditions of Options

     Options granted under the Plan shall be, as determined by the Committee,
nonqualified or incentive stock options for federal income tax purposes, as
evidenced by the related Award agreements, and shall be subject to the foregoing
and the following terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions,
not inconsistent therewith, as the Committee shall determine:

(a)  Option Price. The Option Price per Share shall be determined by the
     ------------
     Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the
     Shares on the date an Option is granted.

(b)  Exercisability. Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such
     --------------
     time and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the
     Committee, but in no event shall an Option be exercisable more than ten
     years after the date it is granted.

(c)  Exercise of Options. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an
     -------------------
     Award agreement, an Option may be exercised for all, or from time to time
     any part, of the Shares for which it is then exercisable. For purposes of
     Section 6 of the Plan, the exercise date of an Option shall be the later of
     the date a notice of exercise is received by the Company and, if
     applicable, the date payment is received by the Company pursuant to clauses
     (i), (ii) or (iii) in the following sentence. The purchase price for the
     Shares as to which an Option is exercised shall be paid to the Company in
     full at the time of exercise at the election of the Participant (i) in cash
     or its equivalent (e.g., by check);  (ii) in Shares having a Fair Market
     Value equal to the aggregate Option Price for the Shares being purchased
     and satisfying such other requirements as may be imposed by the Committee;
     provided, that such Shares have been held by the Participant for no less
     than six months (or such other period as established from time to time by
     the Committee or generally accepted accounting principles); (iii) partly in
     cash and partly in such Shares; or (iv) through the delivery of irrevocable
     instruments to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal
     to the aggregate Option price for the shares being purchased. No
     Participant shall have any rights to dividends or other rights of a
     stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Option until the
     Participant has given written notice of exercise of the Option, paid in
     full for such Shares and, if applicable, has satisfied any other conditions
     imposed by the Committee pursuant to the Plan.
<PAGE>

(d)  ISOs. The Committee may grant Options under the Plan that are intended to
     ----
     be ISOS. Such ISOS shall comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the
     Code (or any successor section thereto). No ISO may be granted to any
     Participant who at the time of such grant, owns more than ten percent of
     the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or
     of any Subsidiary, unless (i) the Option Price for such ISO is at least
     110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the ISO is granted and
     (ii) the date on which such ISO terminates is a date not later than the day
     preceding the fifth anniversary of the date on which the ISO is granted.
     Any Participant who disposes of Shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO
     either (i) within two years after the date of grant of such ISO or (ii)
     within one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, shall
     notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such
     disposition.

(e)  Attestation.  Wherever in this Plan or any agreement evidencing an Award a
     -----------
     Participant is permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option or taxes
     relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the Participant
     may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such
     delivery requirement by presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such
     Shares, in which case the Company shall treat the Option as exercised
     without further payment and shall withhold such number of Shares from the
     Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.

7.   Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights

(a)  Grants. The Committee also may grant (i) a Stock Appreciation Right
     ------
     independent of an Option or (ii) a Stock Appreciation Right in connection
     with an Option, or a portion thereof A Stock Appreciation Right granted
     pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence (A) may be granted at the
     time the related Option is granted or at any time prior to the exercise or
     cancellation of the related Option, (B) shall cover the same Shares covered
     by an Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may
     determine) and (C) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as
     such Option except for such additional limitations as are contemplated by
     this Section 8 (or such additional limitations as may be included in an
     Award agreement).

(b)  Terms. The exercise price per Share of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be
     -----
     an amount determined by the Committee but in no event shall such amount be
     less than the greater of (i) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date
     the Stock Appreciation Right is granted or, in the case of a Stock
     Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion
     thereof, the Option Price of the related Option and (ii) an amount
     permitted by applicable laws, rules, by-laws or policies of regulatory
     authorities or stock exchanges. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted
     independent of an Option shall entitle a Participant upon exercise to an
     amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise
     date of one Share over (B) the exercise price per Share, times (ii) the
     number of Shares covered by the Stock Appreciation Right. Each Stock
     Appreciation Right granted in conjunction with an Option, or a portion
     thereof, shall entitle a Participant to surrender to the Company the
     unexercised Option, or any portion thereof, and to receive from the
<PAGE>

     Company in exchange therefor an amount equal to (i) the excess of (A) the
     Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one Share over (B) the Option
     Price per Share, times (ii) the number of Shares covered by the Option, or
     portion thereof, which is surrendered. The date a notice of exercise is
     received by the Company shall be the exercise date. Payment shall be made
     in Shares or in cash, or partly in Shares and partly in cash (any such
     Shares valued at such Fair Market Value), all as shall be determined by the
     Committee. Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised from time to time
     upon actual receipt by the Company of written notice of exercise stating
     the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is
     being exercised. No fractional Shares will be issued in payment for Stock
     Appreciation Rights, but instead cash will be paid for a fraction or, if
     the Committee should so determine, the number of Shares will be rounded
     downward to the next whole Share.

(c)  Limitations. The Committee may impose, in its discretion, such conditions
     -----------
     upon the exercisability or transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights as
     it may deem fit.

(d)  Limited Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant LSARs that are
     ---------------------------------
     exercisable upon the occurrence of specified contingent events. Such LSARs
     may provide for a different method of determining appreciation, may specify
     that payment will be made only in cash and may provide that any related
     Awards are not exercisable while such LSARs are exercisable. Unless the
     context otherwise requires, whenever the term "Stock Appreciation Right" is
     used in the Plan, such term shall include LSARs.

8.   Other Stock-Based Awards

(a)  Generally. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Awards of
     ---------
     Shares, Awards of restricted Shares and Awards that are valued in whole or
     in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value
     of, Shares ("Other Stock-Based Awards"). Such Other Stock-Based Awards
     shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee
     shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive one or
     more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the
     completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event
     and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Other Stock-Based Awards
     may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the
     Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine
     to whom and when other Stock-Based Awards will be made, the number of
     Shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Stock-Based
     Awards; whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash,
     Shares or a combination of cash and Shares; and all other terms and
     conditions of such Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting
     provisions thereof and provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and
     issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable).

(b)  Performance-Based Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
     ------------------------
     certain Other Stock-Based Awards granted under this Section 8 may be
     granted in a manner which is deductible by the Company under Section 162(m)
     of the Code (or any successor section thereto) ("Performance-Based
     Awards"). A Participant's Performance-Based
<PAGE>

     Award shall be determined based on the attainment of written performance
     goals approved by the Committee for a performance period established by the
     Committee (i) while the outcome for that performance period is
     substantially uncertain and (ii) no more than 90 days after the
     commencement of the performance period to which the performance goal
     relates or, if less, the number of days which is equal to 25 percent of the
     relevant performance period. The performance goals, which must be
     objective, shall be based upon one or more of the following criteria: (i)
     consolidated earnings before or after taxes (including earnings before
     interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (ii) net income; (iii)
     operating income; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) book value per Share; (vi)
     return on shareholders' equity; (vii) expense management; (viii) return on
     investment; (ix) improvements in capital structure; (x) profitability of an
     identifiable business unit or product; (xi) maintenance or improvement of
     profit margins; (xii) stock price; (xiii) market share; (xiv) revenues or
     sales; (xv) costs; (xvi) cash flow; (xvii) working capital and (xviii)
     return on assets. The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or
     more of its Subsidiaries or one or more of its divisions or units, or any
     combination of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis
     and/or be relative to one or more peer group companies or indices, or any
     combination thereof, all as the Committee shall determine. In addition, to
     the degree consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor
     section thereto), the performance goals may be calculated without regard to
     extraordinary items. The maximum amount of a Performance-Based Award during
     a calendar year to any Participant shall be (x) with respect to
     Performance-Based Awards that are granted in shares, 1,500,000 shares and
     (y) with respect to Performance-Based Awards that are not granted in
     shares, $20,000,000. The Committee shall determine whether, with respect to
     a performance period, the applicable performance goals have been met with
     respect to a given Participant and, if they have, to so certify and
     ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance Based Award. No
     Performance-Based Awards will be paid for such performance period until
     such certification is made by the Committee. The amount of the Performance-
     Based Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the
     amount determined by the applicable performance goal formula, at the
     discretion of the Committee. The amount of the Performance-Based Award
     determined by the Committee for a performance period shall be paid to the
     Participant at such time as determined by the Committee in its sole
     discretion after the end of such performance period; provided, however,
     that a Participant may, if and to the extent permitted by the Committee and
     consistent with the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, elect to
     defer payment of a Performance-Based Award.

9.   Adjustments Upon Certain Events

     Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan to the contrary, the
following provisions shall apply to all Awards granted under the Plan:

(a)  Generally. In the event of any change in the outstanding Shares after the
     ---------
     Effective Date by reason of any Share dividend or split, reorganization,
     recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange
     of Shares or other corporate exchange, or any distribution to shareholders
     of Shares other than regular cash dividends or any
<PAGE>

     transactions similar to the foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion
     and without liability to any person may make such substitution or
     adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable, as to (i) the number or
     kind of Shares or other securities issued or reserved for issuance pursuant
     to the Plan or pursuant to outstanding Awards, (ii) the Option Price and/or
     (iii) any other affected terms of such Awards.

(b)  Change in Control.  Except as otherwise provided in an Award agreement, in
     -----------------
     the event of a Change in Control, the Committee in its sole discretion and
     without liability to any person may take such actions, if any, as it deems
     necessary or desirable with respect to any Award (including, without
     limitation, (i) the acceleration of an Award, (ii) the payment of a cash
     amount in exchange for the cancellation of an Award and/or (iii) the
     requiring of the issuance of substitute Awards that will substantially
     preserve the value, rights and benefits of any affected Awards previously
     granted hereunder) as of the date of the consummation of the Change in
     Control.

10.  No Right to Employment or Awards

     The granting of an Award under the Plan shall impose no obligation on the
Company or any Subsidiary to continue the employment or service or consulting
relationship of a Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company's or
Subsidiary's right to terminate the employment or service or consulting
relationship of such Participant.  No Participant or other Person shall have any
claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of
treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards.  The terms and
conditions of Awards and the Committee's determinations and interpretations with
respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant (whether
or not such Participants are similarly situated).

11.  Successors and Assigns

     The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and
a Participant, including without limitation, the estate of such Participant and
the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or
trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant's creditors.

12.  Nontransferability of Awards

     Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an Award shall not be
transferable or assignable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. An Award exercisable after the death of a
Participant may be exercised by the legatees, personal representatives or
distributees of the Participant.

13.  Amendments or Termination

     The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration or discontinuation shall be made which, (a) without the approval of
the shareholders of the Company, would (except as is provided in Section 9 of
the Plan), increase the total number of Shares reserved for the purposes of the
Plan or change the maximum number of Shares for which
<PAGE>

Awards may be granted to any Participant or (b) without the consent of a

   ------

SECTION 3.  REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER

     (a)  Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable federal
law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i)
below have been complied with), the Company and the Guarantor shall (i) cause
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission as
soon as practicable after the Closing Date (the "Exchange Offer Filing Date"),
                                                 --------------------------
but in no event later than 90 days after the Closing Date (such 90th day being

                           ---------------
efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective

Closing Date (such 150th day being referred to herein as the "Effectiveness
                                                              -------------
Deadline"), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective
--------
amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be necessary in
order to cause it to become effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective
amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A
under the Act and (C) cause all necessary filings, if any, in connection with

                                       3
<PAGE>

the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, commence and Consummate the Exchange Offer.  The
Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the
Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Notes that are Transfer
Restricted Securities and to permit resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers
as contemplated by Section 3(c) below.

     (b)  The Company and the Guarantor shall use their reasonable best efforts
to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously,
and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum
period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate
the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be
less than 20 Business Days.  The Company and the Guarantor shall cause the
Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
No securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be included in the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement.  The Company and the Guarantor shall use their
reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the
earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has
become effective, but in no event later than 180 days after the Closing Date.

     (c)  The Company shall include a "Plan of Distribution" section in the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate
therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that
were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer Restricted
Securities acquired directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company),
may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer;
however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the
requirements of the Act in connection with any resales of any Exchange Notes
received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer and that the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement may be used to satisfy
such prospectus delivery requirement.  Such "Plan of Distribution" section shall
also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-
Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant
thereto, but such "Plan of Distribution" shall not name any such Broker-Dealer
or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such
Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission.

     To the extent necessary to ensure that the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is available for resales of Exchange Notes or Transfer Restricted
Securities by Broker-Dealers that were acquired for the account of such Broker-
Dealers as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities
(other than Exchange Notes or Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly
from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), the Company and the Guarantor
agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as
required by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof and in conformity with the
requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations
of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days from
the date on which the Exchange Offer is Consummated, or such shorter period as
will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such
Registration Statement

                                       4
<PAGE>

have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company and the Guarantor shall promptly
provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such
Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such period.

SECTION 4.  SHELF REGISTRATION

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

     (x) use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed, on or prior to
30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company determines that
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement cannot be filed as a result of clause
(a)(i) above and (ii) the date on which the Company receives the notice
specified in clause (a) (ii) above (such earlier date being referred to herein
as the "Filing Deadline"), but in no event earlier than 90 days after the
        ---------------
Closing Date, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act
(which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (the

"Shelf Registration Statement")), relating to all Transfer Restricted
-----------------------------
Securities, and

     (y) use their reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration
Statement to become effective on or prior to 90 days after the Filing Deadline
(such 90th day being referred to herein as the "Effectiveness Deadline").
                                                ----------------------

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

     The Company and the Guarantor shall use their respective reasonable best
efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a)
continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by, and subject to
the provisions of, Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to
ensure that it is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the
Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that
it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies,
rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a
period of at least two years (as extended pursuant to Section 6(c)(i)) following
the date on which such Shelf Registration Statement first

                                       5
<PAGE>

becomes effective under the Act, or such shorter period as will terminate when
all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant thereto.

     (b)  Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the
          ------------------------------------------------------------------
Shelf Registration Statement.  No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may
----------------------------
include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to
the Company in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the
information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of
the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or
Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein.  Each selling Holder
agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in
order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder
not materially misleading.

SECTION 5.  SPECIAL INTEREST

     If (i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not filed
with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii) any such
Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or
prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the Exchange Offer has not
been Consummated within 180 days after the Closing Date or (iv) any Registration
Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall
thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended purpose
without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such
Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself declared
effective immediately (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv),
a "Registration Default"), then the Company and the Guarantor hereby jointly and
   --------------------
severally agree to pay to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities affected
thereby interest ("Special Interest") which will accrue and be payable semi-
                   ----------------
annually on the Notes and the Exchange Notes (in addition to the stated interest
on the Notes and the Exchange Notes) from and including the date such
Registration Default occurs to, but excluding the date on which (1) the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration
Statement) is filed, in the case of (i) above, (2) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement)
is declared effective, in the case of (ii) above, (3) the Exchange Offer is
Consummated, in the case of (iii) above, or (4) a post-effective amendment to
the Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement is filed that
causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the
Shelf Registration Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable, in
the case of (iv) above.  During the time that Special Interest is accruing
continuously, the rate of such Special Interest shall be 0.50% per annum during
the first 90-day period and shall increase by 0.25% per annum for each
subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such rate exceed 1.00% per annum
in the aggregate regardless of the number of Registration Defaults.  If, after
the cure of all Registration Defaults then in effect, there is a subsequent
Registration Default, the Special Interest rate for such subsequent Registration
Default shall initially be 0.25%, regardless of the Special Interest rate in
effect with respect to any prior Registration Default at the time of the cure of
such Registration Default.  All accrued Special Interest shall be paid to the
Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in
the Indenture, as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the Notes.  All
obligations of the Company and the Guarantor set forth in this

                                       6
<PAGE>

paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security
at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall
survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Transfer
Restricted Security shall have been satisfied in full.

SECTION 6.  REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

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

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

          (ii)  As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each
     Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation,
     any Holder who is a Broker Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the
     Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written
     representation to the Company and the Guarantor (which may be contained in
     the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company or
     the Guarantor, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in,
     and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in,
     a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and
     (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business.
     Each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of
     the Exchange Notes hereby acknowledges and agrees that, if the resales are
     of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Notes acquired
     directly from the

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy
     as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the
     Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5,
                              ----------------------------
     1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as
               ----------------------------------
     interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2,
                                               -------------------
     1993, and similar no-action letters (including, if applicable, any no-
     action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply
     with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in
     connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary
     resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement
     containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or
     508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K.

          (iii)  Prior to the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement, the Company and the Guarantor shall provide a supplemental
     letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company and the Guarantor are
     registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the
     Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May
                              ----------------------------------
     13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) as
                ----------------------------

                                               -------------------
     1993, and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause
     (i) above, (B) including a representation that neither the Company nor the
     Guarantor has entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person
     to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and
     that, to the best of the Company's and the Guarantor's information and
     belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the
     Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or
     understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the
     Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking
     or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action
     letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.

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

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

          (i)  use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep such
     Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite
     financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this
     Agreement, as applicable.  Upon the occurrence

                                       8
<PAGE>

     of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the
     Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain a material misstatement or
     omission or (B) not to be effective and usable for the resale of Transfer
     Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the
     Company and the Guarantor shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to
     such Registration Statement curing such defect, and, if Commission review
     is required, use their respective best efforts to cause such amendment to
     be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

          (ii)  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-
     effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be
     necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable
     period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may be, or such
     shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities
     covered by such Registration Statement have been exchanged or sold or until
     such Transfer Restricted Securities no longer constitute Transfer
     Restricted Securities or are no longer outstanding; cause the Prospectus to
     be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so
     supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, and to comply
     fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as applicable, under the Act in a
     timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to
     the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement
     during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or
     methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such
     Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

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

                                       9
<PAGE>

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

          (v)  furnish to the Initial Purchasers and each selling Holder named
     in any Registration Statement or Prospectus in connection with such sale,
     if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration
     Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or
     supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all
     documents incorporated by reference, if requested by such person), which
     documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Holders in
     connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business
     Days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or
     Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration
     Statement or Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by
     reference, if requested by such person) to which the selling Holders of the
     Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement in
     connection with such sale, if any, shall reasonably object within five
     Business Days after the receipt thereof.  A selling Holder shall be deemed
     to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration Statement,
     amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be
     filed, contains a material misstatement or omission or fails to comply with
     the applicable requirements of the Act;

          (vi)  promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be
     incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus, if
     requested by any selling Holders within five Business Days after receipt of
     notification thereof from the Company, provide copies of such document to
     such selling Holders in connection with such sale, if any, make the
     Company's and the Guarantor's representatives available for discussion of
     such document and other customary due diligence matters, and include such
     information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such selling
     Holders may reasonably request;

          (vii)  make available at reasonable times for inspection by the
     selling Holders participating in any disposition pursuant to such
     Registration Statement and any attorney or accountant retained by such
     selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
     documents of the Company and the Guarantor and cause the Company's and the
     Guarantor's officers, directors and employees to supply all information
     reasonably requested by any such selling Holder, attorney or accountant in
     connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
     thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness;

          (viii)  if requested by any selling Holders in connection with such
     sale, if any, promptly include in any Registration Statement or Prospectus,
     pursuant to a supplement

                                       10
<PAGE>

     or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such selling
     Holders may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without
     limitation, information relating to the "Plan of Distribution" of the
     Transfer Restricted Securities; and make all required filings of such
     Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable
     after the Company is notified of the matters to be included in such
     Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

          (ix)  furnish to each selling Holder in connection with such sale, if
     any, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as
     first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including
     all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including
     exhibits incorporated therein by reference);

          (x)  deliver to each selling Holder, without charge, as many copies of
     the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or
     supplement thereto as such Persons reasonably may request; the Company and
     the Guarantor hereby consent to the use (in accordance with law) of the
     Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling
     Holders in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer
     Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or
     supplement thereto;

          (xi)  upon the request of any selling Holder, enter into such
     agreements (including underwriting agreements) and make such
     representations and warranties and take all such other actions in
     connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of
     the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any applicable Registration
     Statement contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be
     reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Guarantor and as may be
     reasonably requested by any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities in
     connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any applicable Registration
     Statement contemplated by this Agreement and in such connection, the
     Company and the Guarantor shall:

          (A) upon request of any selling Holder, furnish (or in the case of
       paragraphs (2) and (3), use their respective best efforts to cause to be
       furnished) to each selling Holder, upon the effectiveness of the Shelf
       Registration Statement or upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as the
       case may be:

               (1) a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of the
          Company and the Guarantor by (x) the Chief Executive Officer,
          President or any Vice President and (y) a principal financial or
          accounting officer of the Company and the Guarantor, confirming, as of
          the date thereof, the matters set forth in paragraph (e) of Section 6
          of the Purchase Agreement and such other similar matters as the
          selling Holders may reasonably request;

               (2) opinions, dated such date, of counsel for the Company and the
          Guarantor covering matters similar to those set forth in paragraphs
          (a), (b) and (c) of Section 6 of the Purchase Agreement and such other
          matters as the selling

                                       11
<PAGE>

          Holders may reasonably request, and in any event including a statement
          to the effect that certain such counsel has participated in
          conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and
          the Guarantor and representatives of the independent public
          accountants for the Company and the Guarantor at which the contents of
          such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus were discussed,
          although such counsel has not independently verified the accuracy,
          completeness or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel
          advises that, on the basis of the foregoing, no facts came to such
          counsel's attention that caused such counsel to believe that the
          applicable Registration Statement, at the time such Registration
          Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became effective
          and, in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as of
          the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, contained an untrue
          statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
          required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
          therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such
          Registration Statement as of its date and, in the case of the opinion
          dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date
          of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
          omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
          statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
          were made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such
          counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no responsibility
          for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or
          fairness of the financial statements, notes and schedules and other
          financial data included in any Registration Statement contemplated by
          this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and

               (3) a customary comfort letter, dated such date, from the
          Company's independent accountants, in the customary form and covering
          matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to
          underwriters in connection with underwritten offerings, and affirming
          the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to
          Section 6(i) of the Purchase Agreement; and

          (B) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably
       requested by the selling Holders to evidence compliance with clause (A)
       above and with any customary conditions contained in the any agreement
       entered into by the Company and the Guarantor pursuant to this clause
       (xi);

          (xii)  prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities,
     cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the
     registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under
     the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling
     Holders may reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things
     necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of
     the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration
     Statement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantor
                --------  -------
     shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it
     is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the
     service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters

                                       12
<PAGE>

     and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any
     jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;

          (xiii)  issue, upon the request of any Holder of Notes covered by any
     Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, Exchange Notes
     having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal
     amount of Notes surrendered to the Company by such Holder in exchange
     therefor or being sold by such Holder; such Exchange Notes to be registered
     in the name of such Holder or in the name of the purchaser(s) of such
     Exchange Notes, as the case may be; in return, the Notes held by such
     Holder shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation;

          (xiv)  in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities
     that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer Restricted
     Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders to facilitate the timely
     preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted
     Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and to
     register such Transfer Restricted Securities in such denominations (which
     denominations shall be of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof) and such
     names as the selling Holders may request at least two Business Days prior
     to such sale of Transfer Restricted Securities;

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

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

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

          (xviii)  make appropriate officers of the Company available to the
     selling Holders for meetings with prospective purchasers of the Transfer
     Restricted Securities; and

          (xix)  if the Notes are being included in any Registration Statement,
     cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than the
     effective date of the first

                                       13
<PAGE>

     Registration Statement required by this Agreement and, in connection
     therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such
     changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so
     qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use
     their respective best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute all documents
     that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and
     documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture
     to be so qualified in a timely manner; and

          (xx)  provide promptly to each Holder upon request each document filed
     with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or Section
     15(d) of the Exchange Act.

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

SECTION 7.  REGISTRATION EXPENSES

     (a)  All expenses incident to the Company's and the Guarantor's performance
of or compliance with this Agreement shall be borne by the Company and the
Guarantor, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective,
including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses;
(ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state
securities or Blue Sky laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing
certificates for the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and
printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv)
all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, the Guarantor(s) and , in
accordance with Section 7(b) below, the Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities; (v) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public
accountants of the Company and the Guarantor (including the expenses of any
special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance);
and (vi) fees and expenses of the

                                       14
<PAGE>

Trustee and any exchange agent in the Exchange Offer, including the fees and
expenses of each of their counsel.

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

     (b)  In connection with any Registration Statement required by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company and the Guarantor
will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities being tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or resold pursuant to the
"Plan of Distribution" contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or
registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be

majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose
benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared.

SECTION 8.  INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

          (a)  Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless (i) each Holder, (ii) the directors, officers, employees and
agents of each Holder and (iii) each person who controls any Holder within the
meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act (any person referred to in clause
(i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an "Indemnified Holder")
against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which they or any of them may become subject under the 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 any Registration Statement,
preliminary prospectus or Prospectus or any information provided by the Company
to any Holder or prospective purchaser of Series B Notes, 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, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, and agree 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 Company and the
                                    --------  -------
Guarantor will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission (i) made
in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus, or in any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by any Holder specifically for
inclusion therein or (ii) made in any preliminary prospectus, if such untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in such preliminary prospectus is
eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus relating to it (as amended or
supplemented, as applicable) and a copy of such Prospectus shall not have been
furnished to the person alleging

                                       15
<PAGE>

such loss, claim, damage or liability as required under applicable law. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company and
the Guarantor may otherwise have.

          (b)  Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities severally agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantor, their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls the
Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange
Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the
Guarantor to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with reference to written
information relating to such Indemnified Holder furnished to the Company by such
Indemnified Holder specifically for inclusion in any Registration Statement,
preliminary prospectus or Prospectus (or in any amendment or supplement
thereto).  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which
any Indemnified Holder may otherwise have.

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this
Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof;
but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from
liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not
otherwise learn of 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 appoint counsel of the
indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the
indemnified party 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
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
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. It is understood that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more
than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified
parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are
incurred.  Any such separate firm for the Indemnified Holder and such control
persons shall be designated in writing by a majority of the Indemnified Holders
and any such separate firm of the Company, its directors, its officers and such
control

                                       16
<PAGE>

persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. An
indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties, settle, 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 includes an
unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out
of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

          (d)  In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section 8 is unavailable to hold harmless an indemnified party for any
reason, the Company, the Guarantor and the Holders agree to contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same)
(collectively "Losses") to which the Company or the Guarantor and one or more of
the Holders may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand,
and by the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, from the sale of Transfer
Restricted Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Holder
(except as may be provided in any agreement among the Holders relating to the
sale of its Transfer Restricted Securities) be responsible for any amount in
excess of the amount by which the total received by such Holder with respect to
its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
exceeds the sum of (A) the amount paid to such Holder for such Transfer
Restricted Securities plus (B) 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.  If the allocation provided by the
immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and
the Guarantor and the Indemnified Holder shall contribute in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified
Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue
statement or omission relates to information provided by either the Company or
the Guarantor, 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 and each Holder agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For purposes of
this Section 8, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either
the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of a
Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each
person who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of either
the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company or the
Guarantor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the
Guarantor, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this
paragraph (d). The remedies provided in this Section 8 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any
indemnified party at law or in equity.

SECTION 9.  RULE 144A

     The Company and the Guarantor hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long
as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period
in which the Company or the Guarantor is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities, to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted
Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of
such Transfer Restricted Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial
owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to
permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A.

SECTION 10.  MISCELLANEOUS

     (a)  Remedies.  The Company and the Guarantor acknowledge and agree that
          --------
any failure by the Company and/or the Guarantor to comply with their respective
obligations under Sections 3 and 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 will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries
precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, any Initial Purchaser or
any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the
Company's and the Guarantor's obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof.  The
Company and the Guarantor further agree to waive the defense in any action for
specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

     (b)  No Inconsistent Agreements.  Neither the Company nor the Guarantor
          --------------------------
shall, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with
respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and
are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company's and
the Guarantor's securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

     (c)  Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement may not be
          ----------------------
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5
hereof and this Section 10(c)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent
of the Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the
case of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written
consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of
Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding Transfer Restricted Securities held by
the Company or its Affiliates).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or
consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the
rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange
Offer or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and that does
not affect, directly or indirectly, the rights of other Holders whose securities
are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer or registered pursuant to
the Shelf Registration Statement may be given by the Holders of a majority of
the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities subject to
such Exchange Offer or such Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable.

     (d)  Third Party Beneficiary.  The Holders shall be third party
          -----------------------
beneficiaries 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 they may
deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect their rights or the
rights of Holders hereunder.

subsequent Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, that nothing
herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition
of Transfer Restricted Securities in violation of the terms hereof or of the

the subject matter contained herein.  There are no restrictions, promises,
warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein
with respect to the registration rights granted with respect to the Transfer
Restricted Securities.  This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

     (l)  Consent to Jurisdiction and Service.  To the fullest extent permitted
          ------------------------------------
by applicable law, the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably submit to
the jurisdiction of any Federal or State court located in the Borough of
Manhattan in The City of New York, New York in any suit, action or proceeding
based on or arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Notes or
Exchange Notes, and irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such suit or
proceeding may be determined in any such court.  The Company and the Guarantor
irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which
they may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in such a court and any claim that any suit, action or proceeding
brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  The Company
and the Guarantor agree that final judgment in any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Company and the Guarantor and may be enforced in the courts of Bermuda (or any
other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company or the Guarantor is
subject) by a suit upon such judgment, provided that service of process is
                                       --------
effected upon the Company or the Guarantor in the manner specified herein or as
otherwise permitted by law. The Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably
designate and appoint CT Corporation System, 1633 Broadway - 23rd Floor, New

as the authorized agent of the Company and the Guarantor upon whom process may
be served in any such suit or proceeding, it being understood that the
designation and appointment of the Process Agent as such authorized agent shall
become effective immediately without any further action on the part of the
Company or the Guarantor. The Company and the Guarantor hereby represent to each
Initial Purchaser that they have notified the Process Agent of such designation
and appointment and that the Process Agent has accepted the same in writing. The
Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Process
Agent to accept such service. The Company and the Guarantor further agree that
service of process upon the Process Agent and written notice of said service to
the Company mailed by prepaid registered first class mail or delivered to the
Process Agent at its principal office, shall be deemed in every respect
effective service of process upon the Company and the Guarantor in any such suit
or proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Initial Purchaser or
any person controlling any Initial Purchaser to serve process in any other
matter permitted by law. The Company and the Guarantor further agree to take any
and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents
and instruments as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment
of the Process Agent in full force and effect so long as the Company or the
Guarantor has any outstanding obligations under this Agreement, the Notes, the
Exchange Notes or the Indenture. To the extent that the Company or the Guarantor
has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from
any legal process (whether through service of note, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution, executor or otherwise) with respect to
itself or its property, the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waive
such immunity in respect of their respective obligations under this Agreement,
to the extent permitted by law.
