"Exchange Dates");
(iii) that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain

under this Agreement;

transmittal, to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York) and in the manner specified in the

facsimile transmission or letter must be received no later than the close
of business on the last Exchange Date, setting forth the name of such
Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Securities delivered for
exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to
have such Securities exchanged.
As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be
required to represent to the Company and the Guarantors that (i) any Exchange
Securities to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its
business, (ii) at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer it has 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, (iii) it is not an
"affiliate" (within the meaning of Rule 405 under Securities Act) of the Company
or any Guarantor and (iv) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive
Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable Securities
that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities,
then such Holder will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of such
Exchange Securities.
As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company and
the Guarantors shall:
(i) accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof
validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange
Offer; and
(ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for
cancellation all Registrable Securities or portions thereof so accepted
for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly
authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in
principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities
surrendered by such Holder.
The Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts
to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the
6
applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other
applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The
Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the
Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations
of the Staff of the SEC.
(b) In the event that (i) the Company and the Guarantors determine that
the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not
available or may not be completed as soon as practicable after the last Exchange
Date because it would violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations
of the Staff of the SEC, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason
completed by November 19, 2003 or (iii) upon completion of the Exchange Offer
any Initial Purchaser shall so request in connection with any offering or sale
of Registrable Securities not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities
in the Exchange Offer and held by it following the consummation of the Exchange
Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to
cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or
request, as the case may be, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the
sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and to have such
Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC.
In the event that the Company and the Guarantors are required to file a
Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence,
the Company and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to file
and have declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Securities
and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration
Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers
and sales of Registrable Securities held by the Initial Purchasers after
completion of the Exchange Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and
the Guarantors may delay filing a Shelf Registration Statement, and any
amendment thereto, and may withhold efforts to cause such Shelf Registration
Statement, and any such amendment thereto, to become effective for a period of
up to 60 days, if the Company determines in good faith that such Shelf
Registration Statement, and any such amendment thereto, might interfere with or
affect the negotiation or completion of any transaction that is being
contemplated by the Company (whether or not a final decision has been made to
undertake such transaction) at the time the right to delay is exercised;
provided, however, that the Company may not exercise such right of delay or
withholding of efforts more frequently than two times in any 12-month period and
the aggregate period of any such delays or withholdings shall not exceed 60 days
in any such 12-month period.
The Company and the Guarantors agree to use their reasonable best
efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until
the
7
expiration of the period referred to in Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act
with respect to the Registrable Securities or such shorter period that will
terminate when all the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration
Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (the
"Shelf Effectiveness Period"). The Company and the Guarantors further agree to
supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus
if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or
by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf
registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder of Registrable Securities
with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use their reasonable
best efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf
Registration Statement and Prospectus to become usable as soon as thereafter
practicable. The Company and the Guarantors agree to furnish to the Holders of
Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after
its being used or filed with the SEC.
(c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses
in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b)
hereof. Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and
transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder's
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.
(d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a)
hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will
not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by
the SEC.
In the event that either the Exchange Offer is not completed or the
Shelf Registration Statement, if required hereby, is not declared effective on
or prior to November 19, 2003 (the "Target Registration Date"), the interest
rate on the Registrable Securities will be increased by (i) 0.25% per annum for
the first 90-day period immediately following the Target Registration Date and
(ii) an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day
period, in each case until the Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf
Registration Statement, if required hereby, is declared effective by the SEC or
the Securities become freely tradable under the Securities Act, up to a maximum
of 1.00% per annum of additional interest.
If the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective and
thereafter either ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein
ceases to be usable at any time during the Shelf Effectiveness Period, and such
failure to remain effective or usable exists for more than 30 days (whether or
not consecutive) in any 12-month period, then the interest rate on the
Registrable Securities will be increased by 1.00% per annum commencing on the
31st day in such 12-month period
8
and ending on such date that the Shelf Registration Statement has again been
declared effective or the Prospectus again becomes usable.
(e) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers
and the Holders, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by
the Company or the Guarantors to comply with their obligations under Section
2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the
Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law,
that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and
that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may
obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company's and
the Guarantors' obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.
3. Registration Procedures. In connection with their obligations
pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors
shall as expeditiously as possible
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the
appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (x) shall be selected by
the Company and the Guarantors, (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration,
be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the selling Holders
thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the

to
9
facilitate the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities
thereunder; and the Company and the Guarantors consent to the use of such
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable

Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable

amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law;
(d) use their reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the

Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing by the time the
applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; cooperate
with the Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and do any and all other acts
and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each Holder
to complete the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that neither the Company nor
any Guarantor shall be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other
entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of
process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such

such advice in writing (i) when a Registration Statement has become effective
and when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes
effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for
amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement and Prospectus or for

covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Company or any
Guarantor contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or
other similar agreement, if any, relating to an offering of such Registrable
Securities cease to be true and correct in all material respects or if the
Company or any Guarantor receives any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the
happening of any event during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is

contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; and the Company and the Guarantors
shall notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to suspend use of the
Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and
such Holders hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Company and

and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company and
the Guarantors to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
Inspector, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf
Registration Statement to the same extent that any financial or other records,
documents and properties and all other information was provided to the Initial
Purchasers in connection with the initial issuance of the Notes; provided,
however, that if any such information is identified by the Company or any
Guarantor as being confidential or proprietary, each Person receiving such
information shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to
12
protect the confidentiality of such information to the extent such action is
otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights
and interests of any Inspector, Holder or Underwriter;
(n) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their reasonable best
efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on any securities
exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar securities issued or

listing requirements;
(o) if reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by a Registration Statement, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus

as soon as the Company has received notification of the matters to be
incorporated in such filing; and
(p) in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into such customary
agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including
those requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Registrable Securities being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate the
disposition of such Registrable Securities including, but not limited to, an
Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (i) to the extent possible, make
such representations and warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such
Registrable Securities with respect to the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated
by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form,
substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in
underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) obtain
opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors (which counsel and

Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each
selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, covering the matters
customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (iii)
obtain "comfort" letters from the independent certified public accountants of
the Company and the Guarantors (and, if necessary, any other certified public
accountant of any subsidiary of the Company or any Guarantor, or of any business
acquired by the Company or any Guarantor for which financial statements and
financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement)
addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Securities, such
letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily
covered in "comfort" letters in connection with underwritten offerings and (iv)
deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the
Holders of a

Company and the Guarantors made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence
compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement.
In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require
each Holder of Registrable Securities to furnish to the Company such information
regarding such Holder and the proposed disposition by such Holder of such
Registrable Securities as the Company and the Guarantors may from time to time
reasonably request in writing and the Company may exclude from such registration
the Registrable Securities of any Holder that fails to furnish such information
within a reasonable time after receiving such request.
In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of
Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company
and the Guarantors of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 3(e)(iii) or 3(e)(v) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until
such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof and, if so directed by the Company and the
Guarantors, such Holder will deliver to the Company and the Guarantors all
copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is
current at the time of receipt of such notice.
If the Company and the Guarantors shall give any such notice to suspend
the disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement,
the Company and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which the
Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement
by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the
giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders shall have
received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume
such dispositions. The Company and the Guarantors may give any such notice only
twice during any 365-day period and any such suspensions shall not exceed 30
days for each suspension and there shall not be more than two suspensions in
effect during any 365-day period.
The Holders of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration
Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Securities in an
Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker
or investment bankers and manager or managers (the "Underwriters") that will
administer the offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the
Registrable Securities included in such offering.

4. Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff of
the SEC has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange
Securities for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities
that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other
trading activities (a "Participating Broker-Dealer") may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
resale of such Exchange Securities.
The Company and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff's
position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above
effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the
Exchange Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or
specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may
be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus
delivery obligation under the Securities Act in connection with resales of
Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise
meets the requirements of the Securities Act.
(b) In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors agree to amend or supplement the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would
otherwise be contemplated by Section 3(i), for a period of up to 180 days after
the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to the
penultimate paragraph of Section 3 of this Agreement), if requested by the
Initial Purchasers or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in order to
expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Securities by
Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited
in Section 4(a) above. The Company and the Guarantors further agree that
Participating Broker-Dealers shall be authorized to deliver such Prospectus
during such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section
4.
(c) The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company, any
Guarantor or any Holder with respect to any request that they may make pursuant
to Section 4(b) above.
5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and each
Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each
Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and
officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any
Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including, without limitation, legal
15
fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or
proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint
or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement or any Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein
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, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity
with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or any Holder furnished
to the Company in writing through J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. or any selling
Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering
permitted by Section 3, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally,
will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, selling brokers, dealers and
similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution,
their respective affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons (within
the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as
provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested
in connection with any Registration Statement.
(b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the other
selling Holders, their respective affiliates, the directors of the Company and
the Guarantors, each officer of the Company and the Guarantors who signed the
Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company, the
Guarantors, any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to
the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with
respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are
based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating
to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for
use in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus.
(c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against
any Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either
paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the "Indemnified Person") shall
promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the
"Indemnifying Person") in writing; provided, however, that the failure to notify
the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have
under this Section 5 except to the extent that it was otherwise unaware of such
suit, action, proceeding, claim or demand and that it has been materially
prejudiced (through the
16
forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided
further, however, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person
otherwise than under this Section 5. If any such proceeding shall be brought or
asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the
Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified
Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5
that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In
any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its
own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the
Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, (iii) the Indemnified Person
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying
Person, or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with
any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall
be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial
Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of
such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc., (y) for any Holder, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control
Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders
and (z) in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Company. The
Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to
indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by
reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying
Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as
contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such
settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying
Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have
reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the
date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written
consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any
17
Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have
been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A)
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability
on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not
include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure
to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above
is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors from the offering of the
Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from
receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act,
on the other hand, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault
of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Holders on the other
in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Holders, 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 and the Guarantors or by the Holders and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) The Company, the Guarantors and the Holders agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 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 that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or
payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and
liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred
by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds
the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
18
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.
(f) The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and
shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any
Indemnified Person at law or in equity.
(g) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section
5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of
the Initial Purchasers or any Holder, their respective affiliates or any Person
controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the
Company or the Guarantors, their respective affiliates or the officers or
directors of or any Person controlling the Company or the Guarantors, (iii)
acceptance of any of the Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.
6. General.
(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and the Guarantors
represent, warrant and agree that (i) 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 any other outstanding securities issued or
guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor under any other agreement and (ii)
neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into, or on or after the date
of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
(b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including
the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be
given unless the Company and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Registrable Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement,
waiver or consent; provided, however, that no amendment, modification,
supplement, waiver or consent to any departure from the provisions of Section 5
hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless
consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications,
supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a
writing executed by each of the parties hereto.
19
(c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered
first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight
delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial
Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement, (ii) if to the
Company and the Guarantors, initially at the Company's address set forth in the
Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is
given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), and (iii) to such
other persons at their respective addresses as provided in the Purchase
Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices and
communications shall be deemed to have been duly given at the time delivered by
hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the
mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; when receipt
is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered
to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery. Copies of all such notices,
demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the Person
giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.
(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the
parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express
assignment, subsequent Holders; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable
Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture.
If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any
manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities
shall be held subject to all the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and
holding such Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to
have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.
The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no
liability or obligation to the Company or the Guarantors with respect to any
failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the
obligations of such Holder under this Agreement.
(e) Purchases and Sales of Securities. The Company and the Guarantors
shall not, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their affiliates
(as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) not to, purchase and then
resell or otherwise transfer any Registrable Securities.
(f) Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party
beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the
20
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and
shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems
such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of
other Holders hereunder.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(h) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, are not a part of this Agreement and shall not limit or
otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(i) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
(j) Miscellaneous. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between
the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral
statements and prior writings with respect thereto. If any term, provision,
covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public
policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions
contained herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial
Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid,
void or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, void or unenforceable
provisions.
21
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date first written above.
