the SEC. 
  
 (c) “Holder” shall mean (i) Parent
or (ii) a transferee of Registrable Securities to whom registration rights granted under this Agreement are assigned pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement. 
  

(d) “Registrable Securities” means the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued to Parent pursuant to the Agreement at Closing;

 Terms not otherwise

 2.    Registration Statement on Form S-3. 
  
 (a) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be registered under the Securities Act so as to permit the resale thereof. In connection therewith, the Company shall prepare and file
with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not available, another appropriate form) covering all Registrable Securities within twenty (20) days of the Closing Date. It shall be a condition
precedent to the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Declaration register the Registrable Securities that Parent shall provide all such information and materials regarding Parent and take all such action as may be required under applicable
laws and regulations in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act that relate to the Company’s ability to file and have declared effective a registration statement pursuant
to this Declaration, and to obtain any desired acceleration of the effective date of such registration statement. The offerings made pursuant to such registration shall not be required to be underwritten. 
  
  

 (b)  The Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC the registration statement in
accordance with Section 2(a) hereof with respect to the Registrable Securities and shall use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after filing (and shall request acceleration of
effectiveness of such registration statement by the SEC no later than forty-eight (48) hours after receiving notice from the SEC that it will not review the registration statement or that any SEC comments have been resolved to the satisfaction of
the SEC) and to keep such registration statement effective until the earliest to occur of (A) the date on which all Registrable Securities included within such registration statement have been sold or (B) the one-year anniversary of the Closing
Date; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC until after it shall have publicly released its earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2003; (ii)
prepare and file with the SEC such amendments to such registration statement and amendments or supplements to the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
sale or other disposition of all securities registered by such registration statement; (iii) furnish to Parent such number of copies of any prospectus (including any preliminary prospectus and any amended or supplemented prospectus) in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as Parent may reasonably request in order to effect the offering and resale of the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold, but only while the Company shall be required
under the provisions hereof to cause the registration statement to remain effective; (iv) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as Parent
shall reasonably request (provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction where it has not been
qualified or is not otherwise subject to a general consent for service of process), and do any and all other acts or things which may be necessary or advisable to enable Parent to consummate the public sale or other disposition of such Registrable
Securities in such jurisdictions; and (v) notify Parent, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the date and time the registration statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus
forming a part of such registration statement has been filed. 
  
 3.    S-3 Eligibility.    As of the date hereof, the Company meets the “Registrant Requirements” for eligibility to use Form S-3 as set forth in Section I. A. of the General
Instructions to Form S-3. 
  
 4.    Suspension of Prospectus.    Under any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company may restrict disposition of Registrable Securities, and Parent will not be
able to dispose of such Registrable Securities, if the Company shall have delivered a notice in writing to Parent stating that a delay in the disposition of such Registrable Securities is necessary because the Company, in its reasonable judgment,
has determined in good faith that such sales would require public disclosure by the Company of material nonpublic information that is not included in such registration statement and that immediate disclosure of such information would be materially
detrimental to the Company. In the event of the delivery of the notice described above by the Company, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to amend such registration statement and/or amend or supplement the related prospectus if
necessary and to take all other actions necessary to allow the proposed sale to take place as promptly as possible, subject, however, to the right of the Company to delay further sales of Registrable Securities until the conditions or circumstances
referred to in the notice have ceased to exist or have been disclosed. Such right to delay sales of Registrable Securities shall not be exercised by the Company more than two times in any four (4) month period and shall not exceed sixty (60) days in
the aggregate (during the period the registration statement is otherwise required to remain effective specified in Section 2(b) above) and no longer than thirty (30) days as to any single delay. The provisions set forth in this Section 4 shall have
no adverse effect upon, nor compromise, the rights of Parent under Section 2.12(a)(iii) of the Agreement. 
  
 5.    Expenses.    All of the out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Declaration, including, without limitation, all SEC, Nasdaq National Market and blue sky registration and filing fees, printing expenses, transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees and the reasonable fees
and disbursements of the Company’s outside counsel and independent accountants shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall not be responsible for any legal fees or any selling expenses of Parent 

  

 2 

 
incurred in connection with the registration or, subject to Section 6 hereof, the resale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Declaration (including,
without limitation, any broker’s fees or commissions); provided that nothing in this Section 5 shall have an adverse effect upon, nor compromise, the rights of Parent under Section 2.12(d) of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that at the Company’s election the resale of the Registrable Securities occurs in a registration conducted as a firm commitment underwritten offering, the Company shall also pay the underwritten discounts and commissions of any
Registrable Securities of Parent if it participates therein. 
  
 6.    Sale Without Registration.    The Holder of a certificate representing Registrable Securities required to bear the legend in substantially the form set forth in Section 3.17 of the
Agreement by acceptance thereof agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 6. Prior to any proposed sale or transfer of any Registrable Securities which shall not be registered under the Securities Act, the holder thereof
shall give written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to effect such transfer, accompanied by: (i) such information as is reasonably necessary in order to establish that such transfer may be made without registration under the
Securities Act; and (ii) except for transfers proposed to be made in accordance with SEC Rule 144 (as in effect at the date hereof and as amended from time to time thereafter), upon request and at the expense of the Company, a customary written
opinion of legal counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, the Company shall not be required to incur any expense in connection with a written opinion of legal counsel required for a “section 4(1-1/2)” private resale of Registrable Securities (other than a “section 4(1-1/2)”
private resale in connection with a Private Sale pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Agreement); provided, further, that nothing contained in this Section 6 shall relieve the Company from complying with any request for registration,
qualification or compliance made pursuant to the other provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement. 
  
 7.    Indemnification.    In the event of any offering registered pursuant to this Declaration: 

 
 (a)  the Company will indemnify Parent, each of its officers,
directors and partners and Parent’s legal counsel, and each person controlling Parent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”), with respect to which registration, qualification or
compliance has been effected pursuant to this Declaration, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or
threatened, arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident
to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the
Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or state securities laws, or common law, applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each Seller
Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable to any Seller Indemnified Party to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based in any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by any Seller Indemnified Party to the Company in an instrument duly executed by such Seller Indemnified Party and stated to be specifically for use therein. 
  
 (b) Parent will indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers who
has signed any registration statement made effective pursuant to the obligations hereunder and its legal counsel and independent accountants (each, a “Company Indemnified Party”), against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements 

  

 3 

 
therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Company Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by Parent and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided,
however, that the obligations of Parent hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the gross proceeds (after deducting reasonable commissions) received by Parent of Registrable Securities sold as contemplated herein. 
  
 (c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is for any reason
not available to a party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein as a result of a judicial determination that such
indemnification may not be enforced, in such case notwithstanding this Declaration to the contrary, the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”), in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the
Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of
the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or the alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that no person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and provided, further that the liability
of Parent or any permitted transferee of the registration rights granted hereunder this Section 7(c) shall not exceed the proceeds from the offering received by Parent or any permitted transferee of the registration rights granted hereunder, prior
to deduction of any commissions, transfer taxes or other selling expenses incurred with respect to such sale. 
  
 (d)  Each Indemnified Party shall give notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after such Indemnified Party has written notice of any claim or
potential claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or potential claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who
shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and
provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Declaration, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that the Indemnifying
Party’s ability to defend against such claim or litigation is compared as a result of such failure to give notice. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

  
 (e)  The obligations of Parent and Company under
this Section 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Declaration and otherwise. 
  
 8.    Limitation on Assignment of Registration Rights.    The rights to cause the Company to register
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Declaration may not be assigned by Parent unless such a transfer is (a) to an Affiliate (as defined pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act) and such assignment includes all of the Registrable Securities
then held by the transferor or (b) in connection with a Private Sale (as defined in the Agreement) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Agreement. Prior to a permitted transfer of registration rights under this Declaration,
Parent must furnish the Company with written notice of the name and 

  

 4 

 
address of such proposed transferee and the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and a copy of a duly
executed written instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company by which such transferee assumes all of the obligations and liabilities of its transferor hereunder and agrees itself to be bound hereby. No transfer of registration rights
under this Declaration shall be permitted if immediately following such transfer the disposition of such Registrable Securities by the transferee is not restricted under the Securities Act. 
  
 9.    Termination of Registration
Rights.    The registration rights set forth in this Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Agreement (and the right to transfer such shares of the Company Common Stock
pursuant to the registration statement under which such shares of the Company Common Stock were registered shall terminate) immediately upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which such shares cease to be Registrable Securities, (ii) the one
(1) year anniversary of the issuance of such shares pursuant to the Agreement and (iii) the date that all parties hereto agree in writing to so terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that no such termination shall affect (i) any
liability of the Company for any prior breach of the registration rights of the Holders set forth herein or (ii) the indemnification obligations of the Company and of a Holder pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement. 
  
 10.    Information.    Parent
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding Parent, the Registrable Securities held by Parent and the distribution proposed by Parent as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any
registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Declaration. 
  
 11.    Reports Under Exchange Act.    Subject to Section 2 of this Agreement, the Company agrees to: 
  
 (a)  use its best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and 
  
 (b)  furnish to Parent, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose
securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), and (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company. 
  

12.    Amendment of Registration Rights.    The registration rights granted hereunder may not be amended
without the mutual written consent of Parent and the Company. 
  
 13.    Governing Law.    This Declaration shall be governed in all respects by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

       (iv) Agreement to Forbear. Bank Claim Holder agrees during the term of
this Agreement (a) to neither take any action to accelerate the indebtedness due
under the Bank Claims nor direct the Agent to pursue any right or remedy under
the Credit Facilities or otherwise; and (b) not to initiate, or have initiated

a form reasonably acceptable to the Bank Claim Holder and the Company indicating
Bank Claim Holder's acceptance of the Plan. Bank Claim Holder further agrees not
to oppose the Company's request for the entry of customary first day orders
after the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case.

       (vi) Certain Conditions and Covenants. In addition to the other
conditions to Bank Claim Holder's obligations set forth herein, each obligation
and liability of Bank Claim Holder under this Agreement is conditioned in its

Bank Claims under the Plan not materially differing from those set forth herein

attorney/client, work-product and similar privileges; (f) the Company providing
timely notice of any Alternative Transaction (defined in the Plan Term Sheet) as

governance documents , or entering into new material contracts, without the
consent of the Lender Group, except however that the Company may continue to
enter into ordinary course of business contracts consistent with past practices.

       (vii)   Termination of Agreement. (a) The obligations of Bank Claim
Holder under this Agreement shall terminate, at the discretion of Bank Claim
Holder, upon (1) the occurrence of an unwaived Default or unwaived Event of
Default under the pre-petition Credit Agreement ( as amended from time to time)
or the post-petition DIP Financing Agreement, (2) conversion of the Bankruptcy
Case to one under chapter 7 or appointment of a chapter 11 trustee, (3) the
failure of the Company to meet the deadlines provided for in the Plan Term sheet
for commencement of solicitation, commencement of the Bankruptcy Case,
confirmation of the Plan and occurrence of the Plan Effective Date, (4) the
discovery by the Lender Group of any materially adverse matter regarding the
Company not previously disclosed by the Company, (5) the Company entering into
an agreement to effectuate an Alternative Transaction as such term is used in
the Plan Term Sheet, or the Company giving notice to the Agent or Bank Claim
Holder of its termination of the transactions contemplated by the Plan Term
Sheet pursuant to its fiduciary duty out contained therein, (6) the Plan,
Disclosure Statement and attendant restructuring documents containing any terms
inconsistent with this Agreement and the Plan Term Sheet, (7) any
representation, covenant or warranty made by the Company or its agents or
representatives to Bank Claim Holder or its Agent in connection with this
Agreement or the Plan Term Sheet (including without limitation representations
relating to the Company's financial performance) being false or misleading in
any material respect when made, or (8) any other material act of the Company
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Termination shall be effective
one business day after Bank Claim Holder provides written notification to the
Company thereof via overnight delivery or fax.

           (b)   In the event that (x) one or more Bank Claim Holders gives
notice of termination hereby and (y) the other members of the Lender Group that
have executed and remain obligated under lockup agreements not materially
different from this one no longer hold enough claims to constitute an accepting
class for the purposes of Bankruptcy Code Section 1126(c), then (z) the
Company's obligations under this Agreement shall terminate. The Company may also
terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Agent that the Company is
entering into an Alternative Transaction.

           (c)   The term of this Agreement may be extended by written agreement
of the parties hereto.

       (viii)  No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be solely for
the benefit of the Company and the parties hereto and the Bank Claim Holders who
have entered into agreements with Chart substantially identical to this
Agreement and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary
hereof.

       (ix)    Not an Amendment or Waiver. It is acknowledged and agreed that
(except as expressly provided for herein, including without limitation in the
exhibits hereto) entering into this Agreement, negotiating with respect to the
Bank Claims or the

                                       4

Plan or any other action taken by Bank Claim Holder does not constitute a full
or partial amendment or waiver of any of such Bank Claim Holder's rights or
remedies under the Credit Facilities or at law or otherwise, and Bank Claim
Holder hereby reserves such rights and remedies.

       (x)    Additional Bank Claims Subject. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to limit or restrict the ability or right of any Bank Claim Holder to
acquire any additional Bank Claims ("Additional Bank Claims") or other claims
against the Company or any affiliate of the Company; provided, however, that in
the event any Bank Claim Holder acquires any such Additional Bank Claims after
the date hereof (other than any such Bank Claims that are already subject to the
provisions of an agreement with Chart substantially similar to this Agreement,
which Bank Claims shall remain subject to the provisions of such agreement),
such Additional Bank Claims shall immediately upon such acquisition become
subject to the terms of this Agreement. Bank Claim Holder shall as promptly as
practicable notify Chart of such acquisition, and Bank Claim Holder agrees to
execute and deliver within five (5) business days of the closing of such
acquisition any additional documents that Chart shall reasonably request to
evidence that such Additional Bank Claims are subject to the provisions of this
Agreement as of the date of acquisition.

       (xi)   No Transfer. Except as set forth below, Bank Claim Holder hereby
agrees, without the prior written consent of Chart, not to (a) sell, transfer,
assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of Bank Claim Holder's Bank Claims,
unless the transferee accepts such Bank Claims subject to the terms of this
Agreement, or (b) grant any proxies, deposit any of Bank Claim Holder's Bank
Claims into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any
of Bank Claim Holder's Bank Claims, unless such arrangement provides for
compliance herewith. In the event that a Bank Claim Holder transfers such Bank
Claims prior to the consummation of the Plan, such transferee shall comply with
and be subject to all the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited
to, such Bank Claim Holder's obligations to vote such Bank Claims in favor of
the Plan, and shall as a condition precedent to such transfer, execute a letter
agreement on terms substantially identical to the terms hereof and a ballot
indicating its acceptance of the Plan. Bank Claim Holder shall, within three (3)
business days of any transfer of Bank Claims, notify in writing Michael Biehl at
the address of Chart set forth on the first page hereof of such transfer and
provide therewith the executed documents as provided for in this paragraph.

       (xii)  Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement
shall not be amended, altered or modified in any manner whatsoever, except by a
written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

       (xiii) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to
the provisions thereof relating to conflicts of law).

                                       5

       (xiv)   Remedies. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any
breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for
which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and accordingly the parties
hereto agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each party shall be
entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific
performance or injunctive relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy
of money damages as a remedy or posting a bond or other security.

       (xv)    Jurisdiction. Chart and Bank Claim Holder each hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York
State court, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New
York City or any court presiding over the Bankruptcy Case, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceedings arising out of or relating
to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. All claims
in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in
such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.
Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

       (xvi)   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, with the
same effect as if all parties had signed the same document. All such
counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

       (xvii)  Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement, which is
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to that jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this
Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted
to be only so broad as is enforceable.

       (xviii) This Agreement and the Plan Term Sheet and any exhibits attached
thereto shall be deemed to be Confidential Information that is subject to the
confidentiality requirements of Section 10.12(b) of the Credit Agreement, as
such term is defined therein.
