SUISSE FIRST BOSTON LLC,

        Eleven Madison Avenue,

                New York, N.Y. 10010-3629. 

Ladies
and Gentlemen: 

        Dollar
Financial Group, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell to Credit Suisse First Boston LLC (the "Initial Purchaser"), upon the terms set
forth in a purchase
agreement, dated as of May 3, 2004 (the "Purchase Agreement"), $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.75% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "Initial Securities") to be
unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors (as defined therein) and together with the Company, the "Company". The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of
November 13, 2003 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). As an inducement to the Initial Purchaser to acquire the
Initial Securities, the Company agrees with the Initial Purchaser, for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Securities (including, without limitation, the Initial Purchaser), the Exchange
Securities (as defined below) and the Private Exchange Securities (as defined below) (collectively the "Holders"), as follows: 

        1.     Registered Exchange Offer.    The Company shall, at its own cost, prepare and, not later than 60 days
after (or if the 60th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) the date of original issue of the Initial Securities (the "Issue Date"), file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement (the "Exchange Offer Registration Statement") on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with
respect to a proposed offer (the "Registered Exchange Offer") to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of
the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities
(the "Exchange Securities") of the Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the Initial
Securities and the provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) that would be registered under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 135 days (or if the 135th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter)
after the Issue Date of the Initial Securities and shall keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 30 business days (or longer, if required by applicable law)
after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders. 

        If
the Company effects the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company will be entitled to close the Registered Exchange Offer 30 business days after the commencement thereof provided that
the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer. 

        Following
the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 30 business days thereafter)
commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof)
electing to exchange the Initial 

 

Securities
for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of
such Holder's business and has no arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material
restrictions under the securities laws of the several states of the United States. 

        The
Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission's staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an applicable exemption
therefrom, (i) each Holder that is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Initial Securities, acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for
Exchange Securities (an "Exchanging Dealer"), is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the
"Exchange Offer Procedures" section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section and (c) Annex C hereto in the "Plan of Distribution" section of such prospectus in connection with a sale of
any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an Initial Purchaser that elects to sell Exchange Securities acquired in
exchange for Initial Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or 508 of
Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale. 

        The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein, in order to
permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such
requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging
Dealer or the Initial Purchaser, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchaser have sold all Exchange Securities held by
them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (ii) the Company shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to any
broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 90 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer. 

        If,
upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Initial Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial distribution, the Company, simultaneously
with the delivery of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to the Initial Purchaser upon the written request of the Initial Purchaser, in exchange
(the "Private Exchange") for the Initial Securities held by the Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of debt securities of the Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all material
respects (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the securities laws of the several states of the United States, but excluding provisions relating to the
matters described in Section 6 hereof) to the Initial Securities (the "Private Exchange Securities"). The Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are
herein collectively called the "Securities". 

        In
connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall: 

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

        (b)   keep
the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the
Holders; 

2

 

        (c)   utilize
the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an
affiliate of the Trustee; 

        (d)   permit
Holders to withdraw tendered Initial Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last business day on which the Registered
Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 

        (e)   otherwise
comply with all applicable laws. 

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

        (x)   accept
for exchange all the Initial Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange; 

        (y)   deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Securities so accepted for exchange; and 

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

        The
Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the Securities will vote and consent
together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any matter. 

        Interest
on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will accrue from the last interest payment
date on which interest was paid on the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Initial Securities, from the date of original issue of the Initial
Securities. 

        Each
Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer
(i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have no arrangements or understanding with any person to
participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an "affiliate," as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities
Act, of the Company or, if it is an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable and (iv) if such
Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 

        Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part
thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. 

3

 

        2.     Shelf Registration.    If, (i) because of any change in law or in applicable interpretations thereof by
the staff of the Commission, the Company is not permitted to effect the Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not
consummated within 180 days of the Issue Date, (iii) the Initial Purchaser so requests with respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) not eligible to be
exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer or
the Initial Purchaser) is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case of any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer or the Initial Purchaser) that participates in the
Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange, the Company shall take the following actions: 

        (a)   The
Company shall, at its cost, as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 2)
file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective a registration statement (the "Shelf Registration Statement" and, together with the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a "Registration Statement") on an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in
Section 6 hereof) by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities
Act (hereinafter, the "Shelf Registration"); provided, however, that no Holder (other than the Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration
Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. 

        (b)   The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the prospectus included therein to
be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a period of two years (or for such longer period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from the date of its
effectiveness or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) are no longer
restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof). The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the
Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in the Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell
such Securities during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law. 

        (c)   Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus
forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of the Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

        3.     Registration Procedures.    In connection with the Shelf Registration contemplated by Section 2 hereof
and, to the extent applicable, the Registered Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall apply: 

        (a)   The
Company shall (i) furnish to the Initial Purchaser, prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment
thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that the Initial Purchaser (with respect to any portion of an unsold allotment from the original offering) is
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the
Commission, such comments as the Initial Purchaser reasonably may propose, unless the Company reasonably concludes that such comment is not necessary or appropriate; (ii) include the
information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer Procedures" section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section and in Annex C hereto in the "Plan of
Distribution" section of the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and include the information set forth in Annex D hereto in the Letter of Transmittal delivered
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; (iii) if requested by the Initial Purchaser, include the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the
Securities Act, as applicable, in the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; (iv) include within the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement a section entitled "Plan of Distribution," reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchaser, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the
Commission with respect to the potential "underwriter" status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act")) of Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer, whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff
of the Commission or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchaser based upon advice of counsel (which may be in-house counsel), represent the prevailing
views of the staff of the Commission; and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include the names of the Holders, who propose to sell Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement, as selling securityholders. 

        (b)   The
Company shall give written notice to the Initial Purchaser, the Holders of the Securities and any broker dealer from whom the Company has received prior written
notice that it will be a participating broker dealer (a "Participating Broker-Dealer") in the Registered Exchange Offer (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by
an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 

        (i)    when
the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto has become effective; 

        (ii)   of
any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 

        (iii)  of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; 

        (iv)  of
the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and 

        (v)   of
the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order that the Registration Statement or the 

5

 

prospectus
does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the
prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 

        (c)   The
Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal, at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement. 

        (d)   The
Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf
Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including
those, if any, incorporated by reference). 

        (e)   The
Company shall deliver to each Exchanging Dealer and the Initial Purchaser, and to any other Holder who so requests, without charge, at least one copy of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Initial Purchaser, Exchanging Dealer or other Holder so
requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any, incorporated by reference). 

        (f)    The
Company shall, during the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf
Registration Statement, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as
such person may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Holders of the
Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement. 

        (g)   The
Company shall deliver to the Initial Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus
following the Registered Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such
persons may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the final prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by the Initial Purchaser,
any Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the
Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 

        (h)   Prior
to any public offering of the Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the
Securities included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such
jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not then so qualified, (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or
(iii) make any change to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or any other organizational document) or any agreement between it and the holders of its ownership interests. 

6

 

        (i)    The
Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold
pursuant to any Registration
Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request a reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to
such Registration Statement. 

        (j)    Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the Company is
required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related prospectus and any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any 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. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchaser, the Holders of the Securities and any Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of
Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Initial Purchaser, the Holders of the Securities and any such
Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the
Initial Purchaser, the Holders of the Securities and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus or other document required pursuant to this
Section 3(j). 

        (k)   Not
later than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
Securities, as the case may be, and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit
with The Depository Trust Company. 

        (l)    The
Company will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent that and so long as they are applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer or the
Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning
with the first month of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period. 

        (m)  The
Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall
be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder
pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 

        (n)   The
Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding such
Holder and the distribution of its Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such
registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 

7

 

        (o)   The
Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as
any Holder of the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration. 

        (p)   In
the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of the Securities, any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter all relevant
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company reasonably requested by such person and (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with
the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities
Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of any parties other than the Initial Purchaser, by one counsel designated by and on
behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof. 

        (q)   In
the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion
and updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to the selling Holders of the applicable securities and any underwriters therefor and dated, in the case of the initial
opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good
standing of the Company and its subsidiaries; the qualification of the Company and its subsidiaries to transact business as foreign corporations; the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the due authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and enforceability, of the applicable
Securities; the absence of material legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries; the absence of governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with the
Shelf Registration Statement, the offering and sale of the applicable Securities or any agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the compliance as to form of such Shelf
Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by reference therein and of the Indenture with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, respectively; and, as of the
date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the absence from such Shelf
Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein, as then amended or supplemented,
and from any documents incorporated by reference therein of an untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time that such documents were filed with the Commission under the Exchange
Act); (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any managing underwriters of the applicable Securities and
(iii) its independent public accountants to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of
the type customarily covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement
of Auditing Standards No. 72. 

        (r)   In
the case of the Registered Exchange Offer, if requested by the Initial Purchaser or any Participating Broker-Dealer, the Company shall cause (i) its counsel to
deliver to the Initial 

8

 

Purchaser
or such Participating Broker-Dealer signed opinions in the forms set forth in Sections 6(c) and 6(d) of the Purchase Agreement with such changes as are customary in connection with the
preparation of a Registration Statement and (ii) its independent public accountants to deliver to the Initial Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer a comfort letter, in customary form,
meeting the requirements as to the substance thereof as set forth in Section 6(a) of the Purchase Agreement, with appropriate date changes. 

        (s)   If
a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other person as
directed by the Company) in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the Initial Securities so
exchanged that such Initial Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event shall the Initial Securities be
marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 

        (t)    The
Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Initial Securities, confirm
such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a Registration
Statement to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or by the
managing underwriters, if any. 

        (u)   In
the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling
group or "assist in the distribution" (within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the "Rules") of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")) thereof, whether as a Holder of
such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements
of such Rules, including,
without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 2720, shall so require, engaging a "qualified independent underwriter" (as defined in Rule 2720) to participate in the
preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated by such
Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent
underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for
such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules. 

        (v)   The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities covered by a Registration Statement as
contemplated hereby. 

        4.     Registration Expenses.    The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
performance of its obligations under Sections 1 through 3 hereof (including the reasonable fees and expenses, if any, of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchaser, incurred in
connection with the Registered Exchange Offer), whether or not the Registered Exchange Offer Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective, and, in the event of a Shelf
Registration, shall bear or reimburse the Holders of the Securities covered thereby for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel designated by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities covered thereby to act as counsel for the Holders of the Securities in connection therewith. 

        5.     Indemnification.    (a)    The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the
Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or 

9

 

such
Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as
the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not
be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made
in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to
the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent that a
prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim,
damage or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
Securities to such person, a copy of the final prospectus if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided further, however, that this
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and
each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified
Parties if requested by such Holders. 

        (b)   Each
Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company and any such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss, 

10

 

claim,
damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling
persons. 

        (c)   Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental
investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the
extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall
not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified
party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party,
be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable
to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

        (d)   If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or
(b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the
one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the exchange or resale of the Securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties
on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case
may be, on the other, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d), the
Holders of the Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the exchange or 

11

 

sale
of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 

        (e)   The
agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

        6.     Liquidated Damages Under Certain Circumstances.    (a)    Liquidated damages (the "Liquidated
Damages") with respect to the Initial Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (vi) below a "Registration
Default"): 

        (i)    if
the Company fails to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the Commission on or prior to the 60th day (or if the 60th day is
not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the Issue Date; 

        (ii)   if
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 135th day (or if the 135th day
is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the Issue Date; 

        (iii)  if
the Exchange Offer is not consummated on or before the 30th business day after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission; 

        (iv)  if
the Company is obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement and the Company fails to file such Shelf Registration Statement with the Commission on or
prior to the 30th day after such filing obligation arises; 

        (v)   if
the Company is obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement and such Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior
to the 60th day after the obligation to file a Shelf Registration Statement arises; or 

        (vi)  If
after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective (A) such Registration Statement thereafter
ceases to be effective; or (B) such Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable (except as permitted in paragraph (b) below) in connection with resales of
Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration Statement
includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, except where such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to any Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such
Holder specifically for inclusion therein, or (2) it is necessary to amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus, to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act or the respective rules thereunder. 

        In
the event of any such Registration Default, the Company will pay Liquidated Damages on the Initial Securities to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have
been cured, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration 

12

 

Default
at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum. The amount of the Liquidated Damages will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all
Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of Liquidated Damages of 1.0% per annum. 

        (b)   A
Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(vi)(B) hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration
Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Shelf
Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared
effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or (y) other material events with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the
related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related
prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Liquidated Damages shall be payable in
accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured. 

        (c)   Any
amounts of Liquidated Damages due pursuant to Section 6(a) above will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to the Initial
Securities. The amount of Liquidated Damages will be determined by multiplying the applicable Liquidated Damages rate by the principal amount of the Initial Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days such Liquidated Damages rate was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months), and the denominator of which is 360. 

        (d)   "Transfer
Restricted Securities" means each Initial Security until the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which such Initial Security has been exchanged by a
person other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer
of an Initial Security for an Exchange Security, the date on which such Exchange Security is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the
prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (iii) the date on which such Initial Security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in
accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the date on which such Initial Security is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or is saleable
pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 

        7.     Rules 144 and 144A.    The Company shall use its best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by
it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Initial Securities may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Initial Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144
and 144A (including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this Agreement to prospective purchasers of Initial Securities identified to the Company by the
Initial Purchaser upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities in connection with such Holder's sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A, the Company shall deliver to
such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with its obligations under this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to
require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act. 

        8.     Underwritten Registrations.    If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Shelf Registration
are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers 

13

 

and
manager or managers that will administer the offering ("managing underwriters") will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Securities
to be included in such offering with the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be reasonably withheld). 

        No
person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis reasonably
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 

        9.     Miscellaneous.

        (a)   Amendments and Waivers.    The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the written consent of the Company and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent. 

        (b)   Notices.    All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing
by hand delivery, first-class mail, facsimile transmission, or air courier which guarantees overnight delivery: 

        (1)   if
to a Holder of the Securities, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company. 

        (2)   if

not be affected or impaired thereby. 

        (i)    Securities Held by the Company.    Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of
principal amount of Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be
affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 

        (j)    Submission to Jurisdiction.    Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.

counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the Initial Purchaser, the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms.

ANNEX A    
    

        Each
broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale
of such Exchange Securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within
the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in
exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for
a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of
Distribution." 

22

 
 
 

ANNEX B    
    

        Each
broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities, where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result
of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See "Plan of Distribution." 

23

 
 
 

ANNEX C    
    

 
 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION    
    

        Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange
Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for
a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. 

        The
Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the
Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the
Exchange Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such
resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of
any such Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates
in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission
or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by
delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. 

        For
a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, the Company will promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any
broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses
incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the Holders
of the Securities (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

If
the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of Exchange Securities. If the undersigned is a
broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it
acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be
deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.
