                     (b)          Holders   of Transfer Restricted Securities.    A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities   (each, a “Holder”) whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted   Securities.
  

	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
Section 3.
  	
  
Registered Exchange Offer
  

	
  
 
  	
  
                     (a)          Unless   the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law or   Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) below have   been complied with), the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) cause the   Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission as soon   as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 90 days   after the Closing Date, (ii) use their reasonable best efforts to cause such   Registration Statement to become effective at the earliest possible time, but   in no event later than 210 days after the Closing Date (as such date relates   to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the “Effectiveness Target   Date”), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, file (A) all
pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary   in order to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if   applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement   pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C) cause all necessary   filings in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange   Securities to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are   necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the   effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer.  The Exchange Offer shall be on the   appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Securities and the   related guarantees to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted   Securities and to permit resales of Securities held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated   by Section 3(c) below.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                     (b)          The   Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause   the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously and   shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum   period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to   Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event   shall such period be less than 30 days after the date notice of the Exchange   Offer is mailed to the Holders.  The   Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all   applicable federal and state securities laws.  No securities other than the Securities shall be included in   the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.    The Company and the Guarantors
shall use their reasonable best efforts   to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest practicable   date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective,   but in no event later than 30 business days after the Effectiveness Target   Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.
  

	
  
 
  	
  
                     (c)          The   Company shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the   Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that   any Broker-Dealer who holds Initial Securities that are Transfer Restricted   Securities and that were acquired for its own account as a result of   market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer   Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Company), may exchange such   Initial Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such   Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the   Securities Act (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) and must, therefore,   deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act
in   connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by such   Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement   may be satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus   contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.  Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall   also contain all other information with respect to such resales by   Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such   resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any   such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Securities held by any such   Broker-Dealer except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of   a change in policy after the date of this Agreement.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                     The   Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep   the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective,   supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) below   to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of   Securities and related guarantees acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own   accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities,   and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the   Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as   announced from time to time, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180   days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is   declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer   required
to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other   trading activities and (iii) the date on which all resales of Exchange   Securities covered by such Exchange Offer Registration Statement have been   made.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                     The   Company and the Guarantors shall provide sufficient copies of the latest   version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any   time during such 180-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence)   period in order to facilitate such resales.
  

	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
Section 4.
  	
  
Shelf Registration
  

	
  
 
  	
  
                     (a)          Shelf   Registration.  If (i) the Company   is not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to   Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by   applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in   Section 6(a) below have been complied with), (ii) for any reason the Exchange   Offer is not Consummated within 210 days after the Closing Date, or (iii) any   Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall notify the Company in writing prior   to the 20th day following the Consummation of the Exchange Offer   that (A) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy   from participating in the Exchange Offer, or (B) such Holder may not resell   the Exchange Securities
acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public   without delivering a prospectus and that the Prospectus contained in the   Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for   such resales by such Holder, or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds   Initial Securities acquired directly from the Company or one of its   affiliates, then, upon such Holder’s request, the Company and the Guarantors   shall:
  

	
  
 
  	
  
                    (x)   cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under   the Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer   Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”)   on or prior to the earliest to occur of (1) the 45th day after the   date on which the Company determines that it is not required to file the   Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and (2) the 45th day after   the date on which the Company receives notice from a Holder of Transfer   Restricted Securities as contemplated by clause (iii) above (such earliest   date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration   Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the   Holders of which shall have provided the information
required pursuant to   Section 4(b) hereof; and
  

	
  
 
  	
  
                    (y)  use their reasonable best efforts to cause   such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission   on or before the 135th day after the Shelf Filing Deadline (as   such date relates to a Shelf Registration Statement, the “Effectiveness   Target Date”).
  

	
  
 
  	
  
The Company and the Guarantors shall use their   reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement   continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the   provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure   that it is available for resales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the   Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure   that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act   and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from   time to time, for a period of at least two years following the effective date   of such Shelf Registration Statement (or shorter period that will terminate   when all the Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have   been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement).
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                     (b)          Provision   by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration   Statement.  No Holder of Transfer   Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities   in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and   until such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 20 business days   after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Company may   reasonably request (including, without limitation, the information specified   in Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act) for use in   connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary   Prospectus included therein.  By   acquiring the Initial Securities, each Holder agrees to provide the
indemnity   set forth in Section 8(b) hereof with respect to the information such Holder   furnishes to the Company in writing expressly for use in any Shelf   Registration Statement.  Each Holder   as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to   furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in   order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such   Holder not materially misleading.
  

	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
Section 5.
  	
  
Liquidated Damages
  

	
  
                              If   (i) any of the Registration Statements required by this Agreement is not   filed with the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such filing   in this Agreement, (ii) any of such Registration Statements has not been   declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the applicable   Effectiveness Target Date, (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated   within 30 business days after the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to   the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (iv) any Registration Statement   required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall   thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable for its intended   purpose without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to   such Registration Statement that
cures such failure and that is itself   immediately declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i)   through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Company hereby agrees   that the interest rate borne by the Transfer Restricted Securities shall be   increased by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following   the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per   annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall   such increase exceed 1.00% per annum (any such interest assessed upon the   occurrence of a Registration Default is referred to as “Liquidated Damages”).  Following the cure of all Registration   Defaults relating to any particular Transfer Restricted Securities, the   interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities shall be   reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Transfer Restricted   Securities; provided, however,   that, if after any
such reduction in interest rate, a different Registration   Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted   Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions.
  
	
   
  
	
  
                              All   obligations of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding   paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted   Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted   Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect   to such Security shall have been satisfied in full.

           (i)          If   in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company there is a question as to   whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable law, the Company and   the Guarantors hereby agree to seek a no-action letter or other favorable   decision from the Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to   Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Initial Securities.  The Company and the Guarantors hereby   agree to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level   but shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to effect   a change of Commission policy.  Each   of the Company and the Guarantors hereby agrees, however, to (A) participate   in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) deliver to the Commission   staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the
legal   bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange   Offer should be permitted, and (C) diligently pursue a favorable   resolution by the Commission staff of such submission.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
           (ii)         As   a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms   of this Agreement, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall   furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation thereof,   a written representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter   of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to   the effect that (A) it is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the   Securities Act) of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend   to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to   participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the   Exchange Offer, (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Securities in its ordinary   course of business.  In addition, all   such Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities shall otherwise cooperate in   the Company’s preparations for the Exchange Offer, (D) at the time of the   commencement of the Exchange Offer, such Holder will have no arrangement or   understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the   meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Securities in violation of the   provisions of the Securities Act, and (E) if such Holder is a Participating   Broker Dealer that will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in   exchange for Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired as a result of   market-making or other trading activities, that it will deliver a Prospectus   in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.  Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees   that any Broker-Dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to   participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the   Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect
on the date   of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan   Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital   Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the   Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and   similar no-action letters (which may include any no-action letter obtained   pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and   prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a   secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction   should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the   selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as   applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities   obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Securities acquired by such   Holder directly from the Company.
  

	
  
 
  	
  
                      (b)          Shelf   Registration Statement.  In   connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the   Guarantors shall comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and   shall use their reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to permit   the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with   the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto   the Company and the Guarantors will as expeditiously as possible prepare and   file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the   registration on any appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form   shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities and   related guarantees in accordance with the
intended method or methods of   distribution thereof.
  

	
  
 
  	
  
                      (c)          General   Provisions.  In connection with   any Registration Statement and any Prospectus required by this Agreement to   permit the sale or resale of Transfer Restricted Securities and related   guarantees (including, without limitation, any Registration Statement and the   related Prospectus required to permit resales of Securities by   Broker-Dealers), the Company shall:
  

	
  
 
  	
  
           (i)          use   its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously   effective and provide all requisite financial statements (including, if   required by the Securities Act or any regulation thereunder, financial   statements of any Guarantor) for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 of   this Agreement, as applicable; upon the occurrence of any event that would   cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A)   to contain a material misstatement or omission or (B) not to be effective and   usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities and related guarantees  during the period required by this   Agreement, the Company shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such   Registration Statement, in the case of clause (A), correcting any such   misstatement or omission, and, in
the case of either clause (A) or (B), use   its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective   and such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to become usable   for their intended purpose(s) as soon as practicable thereafter;
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
           (ii)         prepare   and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to   the Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep the Registration   Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4   hereof, as applicable, or such shorter period as will terminate when all   Transfer Restricted Securities and related guarantees covered by such   Registration Statement have been sold; cause the Prospectus to be   supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to   be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and to comply fully   with the applicable provisions of Rules 424 and 430A under the Securities Act   in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with   respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration
Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method   or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such   Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
           (iii)        advise   the underwriter(s), if any, and selling Holders promptly and, if requested by   such Persons, to confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or   any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and,   with respect to any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment   thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the   Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or   supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto,   (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the   effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of   the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the   Transfer Restricted Securities or related guarantees for offering or sale in
any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the   preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any   event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration   Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any   document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the   making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the   Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading.  If at any time the Commission shall issue   any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or   any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an   order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the   Transfer Restricted Securities and related guarantees under state securities   or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable   best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such
order at the   earliest possible time;
  

	
  
 
  	
  
           (iv)        furnish   without charge to each of the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named   in any Registration Statement, and each of the underwriter(s), if any, before   filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any   Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such   Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by   reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), which   documents will be subject to the review of such Holders and underwriter(s) in   connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five business   days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or   Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement   or Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by reference) to
which an Initial Purchaser of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such   Registration Statement or the underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object   in writing within five business days after the receipt thereof (such   objection to be deemed timely made upon confirmation of telecopy transmission   within such period).  The objection of   an Initial Purchaser or underwriter, if any, shall be deemed to be reasonable   if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as   applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a   material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the   statements therein not misleading;
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
   
  	
  
           (v)         promptly   prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference   into a Registration Statement or Prospectus (other than documents filed prior   to the filing of the Registration Statement) , provide copies of such   document to the Initial Purchasers, each selling Holder named in any   Registration Statement, and to the underwriter(s), if any, make the Company’s   representatives available and representatives of the Guarantors for   discussion of such document and other customary due diligence matters, and   include such information in such document prior to the filing thereof as such   selling Holders or underwriter(s), if any, reasonably may request;

           (vii)         if   requested by any selling Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, promptly   incorporate in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a   supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such   selling Holders and underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request to have   included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the   “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities, information   with respect to the principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being   sold to such underwriter(s), the purchase price being paid therefor and any   other terms of the offering of the Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold   in such offering; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement   or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the

           (ix)         furnish   to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without   charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with   the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including financial statements   and schedules, all documents incorporated by reference therein and all   exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference);
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
           (x)         deliver   to each selling Holder and each of the underwriter(s), if any, without   charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary   prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may  reasonably request; the Company and the   Guarantors hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or   supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and each of the   underwriter(s), if any, in connection with the offering and the sale of the   Transfer Restricted Securities and related guarantees covered by the   Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;
  

	
  
 
  	
  
           (xi)         enter   into, and cause the Guarantors to enter into, such agreements (including an   underwriting agreement), and make, and cause the Guarantors to make, such   representations and warranties that are customary in such transactions and   take all such other actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or   facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities and related   guarantees pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this   Agreement, all to such extent as may be reasonably requested by any Holder of   Transfer Restricted Securities or underwriter in connection with any sale or   resale pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement;   and whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or   not the registration is an Underwritten Registration, the Company
and the   Guarantors shall:
  

	
  
 
  	
  
          (1)      furnish   to each selling Holder and each underwriter, if any, in such substance and   scope as they may reasonably request and as are customarily made by issuers   to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings, upon the date of the   Consummation of the Exchange Offer and, if applicable, the effectiveness of   the Shelf Registration Statement:
  

	
  
 
  	
  
          (A)          a   certificate, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the date   of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be,   signed by (y) the President or any Vice President and (z) a principal   financial or accounting officer of each of    the Company and the Guarantors, confirming, as of the date thereof,   the matters set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5(f) of   the Purchase Agreement, and such other matters as such parties may reasonably   request;
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
   
  	
  
          (B)          opinions,   dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the date of   effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, of   outside counsel for the Company and general counsel for the Company and the   Guarantors, covering the matters set forth in Sections 5(c) and (d) of the   Purchase Agreement and such other matters as such parties may reasonably   request, and in any event including a statement to the effect that each such   counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other   representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent public   accountants for the Company, the Initial Purchasers’ representatives and the   Initial Purchasers’ counsel in connection with the preparation of such   Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and have considered the   matters
required to be stated therein and the statements contained therein,   although such counsel has not independently verified the accuracy,   completeness or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel advises   that, on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to a large   extent upon facts provided to such counsel by officers and other   representatives of the Company and without independent check or   verification), no facts came to such counsel’s attention that caused such   counsel to believe that the applicable Registration Statement, at the time   such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became   effective, and, in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as   of the date of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact   or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or   necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the   Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as
of its date and, in   the case of the opinion dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange 
  

	
  
 
  	
  
Offer, as of the date of Consummation, contained an   untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact   necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the   circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  Without limiting the foregoing, each such   counsel may state further that each such counsel assumes no responsibility   for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or   fairness of the financial statements, notes and schedules and other financial   data included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or   the related Prospectus; and
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (C)          a   customary comfort letter, dated as of the date of Consummation of the   Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration   Statement, as the case may be, from the Company’s independent accountants, in   the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in   comfort letters by underwriters in connection with primary underwritten   offerings, and affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters   delivered pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Purchase Agreement, without   exception;
  

	
   
  	
  
          (2)      set   forth in full or incorporate by reference in the underwriting agreement, if   any, the indemnification provisions and procedures of Section 8 hereof with   respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section; and
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (3)     deliver   such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such   parties to evidence compliance with clause (A) above and with any customary   conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered   into by the Company or the Guarantors pursuant to this clause (xi), if any.
  

	
  
 
  	
  
          If   at any time the representations and warranties of the Company and the   Guarantors contemplated in this clause (xi) cease to be true and correct, the   Company or the Guarantors shall so advise the Initial Purchasers and the   underwriter(s), if any, and each selling Holder promptly and, if requested by   such Persons, shall confirm such advice in writing;
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
   
  	
  
          (xii)          prior   to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with, and   cause the Guarantors to cooperate with, the selling Holders, the   underwriter(s), if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the   registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities and   related guarantees under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such   jurisdictions as the selling Holders or underwriter(s) may request and do any   and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition   in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities and related   guarantees covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that   the Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to register or qualify   as a foreign corporation where they are not then so qualified or to take any
 action that would subject them to the service of process in suits or to   taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the   Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where they are not then so   subject;
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (xiii)        shall   issue, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities covered by the   Shelf Registration Statement, Exchange Securities guaranteed by the   Guarantors and having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate   principal amount of Initial Securities surrendered to the Company by such   Holder in exchange therefor or being sold by such Holder; such Exchange   Securities to be registered in the name of such Holder or in the name of the   purchaser(s) of such Securities, as the case may be; in return, the Initial   Securities held by such Holder shall be surrendered to the Company for   cancellation;
  

	
  
 
  	
  
          (xiv)        cooperate   with, and cause the Guarantors to cooperate with, the selling Holders and the   underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of   certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not   bearing any restrictive legends; and enable such Transfer Restricted   Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the   Holders or the underwriter(s), if any, may request at least two business days   prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities made by such   underwriter(s);
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (xv)          use   its reasonable best efforts to cause the Transfer Restricted Securities and   the guarantees thereof covered by the Registration Statement to be registered   with or approved by such other U.S. federal, state or local governmental   agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers   thereof or the underwriter(s), if any, to consummate the disposition of such   Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in clause   (xi) above;
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
   
  	
  
          (xvi)         if   any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or   have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the   Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated   therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as   thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the   Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to   state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not   misleading;
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (xvii)         cooperate   and assist in any filings required to be made with the NASD and in the   performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter (including   any “qualified independent underwriter”) that is required to be retained in   accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD, and use its reasonable   best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and   approved by such U.S. federal, state or local governmental agencies or   authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders selling Transfer   Restricted Securities to consummate the disposition of such Transfer   Restricted Securities
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (xviii)        provide   a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than the   effective date of the Registration Statement and provide the Trustee under   the Indentures with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted   Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depositary Trust   Company;
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (xix)          otherwise   use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and   regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security   holders, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting   the requirements of Rule 158 (which need not be audited) for the twelve-month   period (A) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Transfer   Restricted Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm or best efforts   Underwritten Offering or (B) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering,   beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter   commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement;
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (xx)          cause   the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than   the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this   Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate, and cause the Guarantors   to cooperate with, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities to effect such   changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so   qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and to   execute and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute,   and cause the Guarantors to execute, all documents that may be required to   effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed   with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely   manner;
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (xxi)         cause   all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to   be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by   the Company are then listed if requested by the Holders of a majority in   aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes or the managing underwriter(s),   if any; and

                     (d)     Restrictions   on Holders.  Each Holder agrees by   acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of any   notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in   Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue   disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable   Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the   supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xv) hereof,   or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that   the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any   additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the   Prospectus.  If so directed by the   Company, each
Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense)   all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s   possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities   that was current at the time of receipt of such notice.  In the event the Company shall give any   such notice, the time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration   Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be   extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date   of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof to and   including the date when each selling Holder covered by such Registration   Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended   Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(xvi) hereof or shall have received   the Advice; however, no such extension shall be taken into account in   determining whether Liquidated Damages are due pursuant to Section 5 hereof   or the
amount of such Liquidated Damages, it being agreed that the Company’s   option to suspend use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this paragraph   shall be treated as a Registration Default for purposes of Section 5.

Section 8.
  	
  
Indemnification
  

	
  
 
  	
  
                     (a)     The   Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and   hold harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each person, if any, who controls   (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the   Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the persons referred to in this clause (ii)   being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling person”) and (iii) the   respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and   agents of any Holder or any controlling person (any person referred to in   clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified   Holder”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all   losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses   (including without
limitation and as incurred, reimbursement of all   reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling,   compromising, paying  or defending any   claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental   agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and   expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or   indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, or arising out of or in   connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a   material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any   amendment or supplement thereto), or 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, except insofar as such losses,   claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses are caused by an   untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is   made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any of   the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by any of the Holders expressly   for use therein.  This indemnity   agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the   Guarantors may otherwise have
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                     In   case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory   investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the   Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the   Company or the Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder   controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify the Company and   the Guarantors in writing (provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not   relieve the Company or the Guarantors of their respective obligations   pursuant to this Agreement unless and only to the extent that the Company or   the Guarantors are materially prejudiced by such failure).  Such Indemnified Holder shall have the   right to employ its own counsel in any such action and the fees and expenses   of such
counsel shall be paid, as incurred, by the Company and the Guarantors   (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Holder   is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).  The Company and the Guarantors shall not, in connection with any   one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or   related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the   same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees   and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any   local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be   designated by the Holders.  The   Company shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding   effected with the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be   withheld unreasonably, and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless   any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability
or   expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written   consent of the Company.  The Company   shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Holder,   settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek   to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or   proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought   hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless   such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional   release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such   action, claim, litigation or proceeding.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                     (b)     Each   Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly,   to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors and their   respective directors, officers of the Company who sign a Registration   Statement, and any person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of   the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, and the   respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and   agents of each such person, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity   from the Company and the Guarantors to each of the Indemnified Holders, but   only with respect to claims and actions based on information relating to such   Holder furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any   Registration Statement.  In case any   action or
proceeding shall be brought against the Company or its directors or   officers or any such controlling person in respect of which indemnity may be   sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder shall   have the rights and duties given the Company and the Company or its directors   or officers or such controlling person shall have the rights and duties given   to each Holder by the preceding paragraph.    In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be   greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such   Holder upon the sale of the Securities giving rise to such indemnification   obligation.
  

	
   
  	
  
                     (c)     If   the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an   indemnified party under Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof (other than by   reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses,   claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to   therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying   such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such   indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or   expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative   benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the   Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the case of   the Company shall be deemed to be equal to
the total net proceeds from the   Initial Placement received by the Company and the Guarantors), the amount of   Liquidated Damages which did not become payable as a result of the filing of   the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims, damages,   liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement,   or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault   of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified   Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions   which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as   well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company and the   Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Holder, on the other,   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 or by the Indemnified Holder and the parties’ relative intent,   knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such   statement or omission.  The amount   paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages,   liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include,   subject to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a),   any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in   connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                     The   Company, the Guarantors and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities   agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to   this Section 8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders   were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of   allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations   referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result   of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the   immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the   limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred   by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any   such action or claim. 
Notwithstanding   the provisions of this Section 8, none of the Holders (and its related   Indemnified Holders) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any   amount in excess of the dollar amount by which the total discount received by   any such Holder with respect to the Initial Securities exceeds the amount of   any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of   such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  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.  The   Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several   in proportion to the respective principal amount of Initial Securities held   by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint.
  

	
  
 
  	
  
Section 9.
  	
  
Rule 144A
  

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

	
  
 
  	
  
Section 10.
  	
  
Participation In Underwritten Registrations
  

                              No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

	
  
 
  	
  
Section 11.
  	
  
Selection Of Underwriters
  

                              The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering.  In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, that such investment bankers and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

	
   
  	
  
Section 12.
  	
  
Miscellaneous
  

	
  
 
  	
  
                     (a)     Remedies.  The Company and the Guarantors hereby   agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss   incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and   hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that   a remedy at law would be adequate.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                     (b)     No   Inconsistent Agreements.  The   Company will not, and will cause the Guarantors not to, on or after the date   of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities   that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement   or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither the Company nor   the Guarantors have entered into any agreement granting any registration   rights with respect to its securities to any Person.  The rights granted to the Holders   hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the   rights granted to the holders of the Company’s securities under any agreement   in effect on the date hereof.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                    (c)     Adjustments   Affecting the Securities.  The   Company will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect   to the Securities that would materially and adversely affect the ability of   the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
                    (d)     Amendments   and Waivers.  The provisions of   this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or   consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless   the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the   outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or   consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to   the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the   Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of   other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such   Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding   principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities being tendered or   registered; provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or   indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company   shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect   to which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver, consent or   departure is to be effective.

                     (j)     Severability.
