2. Exchange Offer. (a) The Company and the Guarantors shall file

with the SEC, no later than the Filing Date, a Registration Statement (the
"Exchange Offer Registration Statement") on an appropriate registration form
--------------------------------------
with respect to a registered offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange any and
--------------
all of the Registrable Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of debt
securities of the Company (guaranteed by the Guarantors) which are identical in
all material respects to the Securities (the "Exchange Notes"), except that (i)
--------------
the Exchange Notes (and the Guarantors' Guarantees thereof) shall have been
registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities
Act, shall not contain provisions for Additional Interest, and shall contain no
restrictive legend thereon, (ii) interest thereon shall accrue from the last
date on which
-4-
interest was paid on the Notes or, if no such interest has been paid, from the
Issue Date, and which are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or a trust
indenture which is identical in all material respects to the Indenture (other
than such changes to the Indenture or any such identical trust indenture as are
necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the
qualification thereof under the TIA) and which, in either case, has been
qualified under the TIA. The Exchange Offer shall comply with all applicable
tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act and other applicable
law. The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective best efforts to
(x) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective
under the Securities Act on or before the Effectiveness Date; (y) keep the
Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 Business Days (or longer if required by
applicable law) after the date that notice of such Exchange Offer is mailed to
Holders; and (z) consummate such Exchange Offer on or prior to the 180th day
following the Issue Date. For purposes of this Section 2(a) only, if after the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement is initially declared effective by the
SEC, the Exchange Offer or the issuance of the Exchange Notes thereunder is
interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of
the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement shall be deemed not to have become effective for purposes
of this Agreement during the period of such interference, until the Exchange
Offer may legally resume.
Each Holder who participates in the Exchange Offer will be required,
as a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, to represent to the
Company in writing (which may be contained in the applicable letter of
transmittal) that (i) any Exchange Notes received by it will be acquired in the
ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of the consummation of the
Exchange Offer such Holder will have no arrangement or understanding with any
Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes in violation of
the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an affiliate of
the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act, (iv) if
such Holder is not a broker-dealer, such Holder is not engaged in, and does not
intend to engage in, the distribution of Exchange Notes, (v) if such Holder is a
broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange
for Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading
activities, such Holder will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale
of such Exchange Notes and (vi) such Holder is not acting on behalf of any
Persons who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations.
Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this
Section 2, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply, mutatis
-------
mutandis, solely with respect to Registrable Notes that are Private Exchange
--------
Notes, Exchange Notes as to which Section 2(c)(iv) is applicable and Exchange
Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers, and the Company and the Guarantors
shall have no further obligation to register Registrable Notes (other than
Private Exchange Notes and other than in respect of any Exchange Notes as to
which clause 2(c)(iv) hereof applies) pursuant to Section 3 hereof.
No securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be included in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement.
(b) The Company and the Guarantors shall include within the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled "Plan
of Distribution,"
-5-
reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers, which shall contain a summary
statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the SEC with
respect to the potential "underwriter" status of any broker-dealer that is the
beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange
Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer (a
"Participating Broker-Dealer"), whether such positions or policies have been
---------------------------
publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies
represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC. Such "Plan of
Distribution" section shall also expressly permit the use of the Prospectus by
all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act, including all Participating Broker-Dealers, and include a statement
describing the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the
Exchange Notes in compliance with the Securities Act.
The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective best efforts
to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and
supplement the Prospectus contained therein in order to permit such prospectus
to be lawfully delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as is necessary to
comply with applicable law in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes
covered thereby; provided, however, that such period shall not exceed 180 days
-------- -------
after such Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective (or such
longer period if extended pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5 hereof)
(the "Applicable Period").
-----------------
If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Initial
Purchasers hold any Notes acquired by them and having, or which are reasonably
likely to be determined to have, the status of an unsold allotment in an initial
distribution, the Company and the Guarantors upon the request of the Initial
Purchasers shall simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes in the
Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to the Initial Purchasers, in exchange (each,
a "Private Exchange") for such Notes held by the Initial Purchasers, a like
----------------
principal amount of debt securities of the Company (guaranteed by the
Guarantors) that are identical in all material respects to the Exchange Notes
(the "Private Exchange Notes") except for the placement of a restrictive legend
----------------------
on such Private Exchange Notes (and which are issued pursuant to the same
indenture as the Exchange Notes). If possible, the Private Exchange Notes shall
bear the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes.
In connection with each Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors
shall:
(1) mail, or cause to be mailed, to each Holder entitled to
participate in the Exchange Offer a copy of the Prospectus forming part of
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement relating to such Exchange Offer,
together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;
(2) use their respective best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer open
for not less than 20 Business Days after the date that notice of the
Exchange Offer is mailed to Holders (or longer, if required by applicable
law);
(3) utilize the services of a depositary for the Exchange Offer with
an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York;
-6-
(4) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Notes at any time prior to
the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the
Exchange Offer remains open; and
(5) otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable
laws, rules and regulations.
As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer and the
Private Exchange, if any, the Company and the Guarantors shall:
(1) accept for exchange all Registrable Notes validly tendered and
not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Private
Exchange, if any;
(2) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes so
accepted for exchange; and
(3) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each
Holder of Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may
be, equal in principal amount to the Securities of such Holder so accepted
for exchange.
The Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange shall not be subject to
any conditions, other than that (i) the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as
the case may be, does not violate applicable law or any applicable
interpretation of the staff of the SEC, (ii) no action or proceeding is
instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency which might
materially impair the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to proceed with
the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange and no material adverse development
has occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to the Company or
the Guarantors that would materially impair the ability of the Company and the
Guarantors to consummate the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange and (iii)
all governmental approvals have been obtained, which approvals the Company and
the Guarantors deem necessary for the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the
Private Exchange.
The Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes shall be issued
under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical in all material respects
to the Indenture, which in either event has been qualified under the TIA or is
exempt from such qualification and shall provide that the Exchange Notes shall
not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. The
Indenture or such indenture shall provide that the Exchange Notes, the Private
Exchange Notes and the Securities shall vote and consent together on all matters
as one class and that none of the Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes or
the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any
matter.
(c) If, (i) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing
interpretations of the staff of the SEC, the Company and the Guarantors are not
permitted to effect the Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not
consummated within 180 days after the Issue Date, (iii) any holder of Private
Exchange Notes so requests, or (iv) in the case of any Holder that participates
in the Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive Exchange Notes on the date
of the
-7-
exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and federal securities
laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the
Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act), in the case
of each of clauses (i) to and including (iv) of this sentence, then the Company
and the Guarantors shall promptly deliver to the Holders and the Trustee written
notice thereof (the "Shelf Notice") and shall file a Shelf Registration pursuant
------------
to Section 3 hereof.
3. Shelf Registration. If at any time a Shelf Notice is delivered
------------------
as contemplated by Section 2(c) hereof, then:
(a) Shelf Registration. The Company and the Guarantors shall file
------------------
with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes not exchanged
in the Exchange Offer, Private Exchange Notes and Exchange Notes to which
Section 2(c)(iv) is applicable (the "Initial Shelf Registration"). The Company
--------------------------
and the Guarantors shall use their respective best efforts to file with the SEC
the Initial Shelf Registration on or prior to the Filing Date. The Initial
Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting
registration of such Registrable Notes for resale by Holders in the manner or
manners designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more
underwritten offerings). Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall permit any
debt securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for debt
securities other than the Registrable Notes to be included in the Initial Shelf
Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration (as defined below).
The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective best efforts
to cause each Initial Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the
Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and to keep such Initial
Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act until the
date which is two years from the Effectiveness Date, subject to extension
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5 hereof (the "Effectiveness Period"),
--------------------
or such shorter period ending when (i) all Registrable Notes covered by the
Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as
contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration or (ii) a Subsequent Shelf
Registration covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under
the Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration has
been declared effective under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Effectiveness Period in respect of the Initial Shelf Registration shall be
extended to the extent required to permit dealers to comply with the applicable
prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the Securities Act and as
otherwise provided herein.
(b) Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration
--- ------------------------------
or any Subsequent Shelf Registration ceases to be effective for any reason at
any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all
of the securities registered thereunder), the Company and the Guarantors shall
use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of
any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 45
days of such cessation of effectiveness amend the Initial Shelf Registration in
a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness
thereof, or file an additional "shelf" Registration Statement pursuant to Rule
415 covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the
Initial Shelf Registration or an earlier Subsequent Shelf
-8-
Registration (each, a "Subsequent Shelf Registration"). If a Subsequent Shelf
-----------------------------
Registration is filed, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective
best efforts to cause the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective
under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep
such Registration Statement continuously effective for a period equal to the
number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days
during which the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration
was previously continuously effective. As used herein the term "Shelf
-----
Registration" means the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf
------------
Registration.
(c) Supplements and Amendments. The Company and the Guarantors shall
--------------------------
promptly supplement and amend the Shelf Registration if required by the rules,
regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such
Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably
requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or by any underwriter
of such Registrable Notes.
4. Additional Interest. (a) The Company, the Guarantors and the
-------------------
Initial Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the Company and
the Guarantors fail to fulfill their obligations under Section 2 or Section 3
hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages
with precision. Accordingly, the Company and the Guarantors agree to pay, as
liquidated damages, additional interest on the Notes ("Additional Interest")
-------------------
under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall
be given independent effect):
(i) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the
Initial Shelf Registration has been filed with the SEC within 90 days after
the Issue Date or (B) notwithstanding that the Company and the Guarantors
have consummated or will consummate an Exchange Offer, the Company and the
Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration and such Shelf
Registration is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date applicable
thereto, then, commencing on the day after any such Filing Date, Additional
Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate of
.50% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following each such Filing
Date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional .50% per
annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period;
(ii) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the
Initial Shelf Registration is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to
the relevant Effectiveness Date or (B) notwithstanding that the Company and
the Guarantors have consummated or will consummate the Exchange Offer, the
Company and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration and
such Shelf Registration is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to
the Effectiveness Date in respect of such Shelf Registration, then,
commencing on the day after such Effectiveness Date, Additional Interest
shall accrue on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate of .50% per
annum for the first 90 days immediately following the day after such
Effectiveness Date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an
additional .50% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day
period; and
-9-
(iii) if (A) the Company and the Guarantors have not exchanged
Exchange Notes for all Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms
of the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 180th day after the Issue Date or
(B) if applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and
such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time during the
Effectiveness Period (other than after such time as all Notes have been
disposed of thereunder), then Additional Interest shall accrue on the
principal amount of the Notes at a rate of .50% per annum for the first 90
days commencing on the (x) 181st day after the Issue Date, in the case of
(A) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective in
the case of (B) above, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an
additional .50% per annum at the beginning of each such subsequent 90-day
period;
provided, however, that Additional Interest on the Notes may not accrue under
-------- -------
more than one of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) at any one time and at
no time shall the aggregate amount of Additional Interest accruing exceed in the
aggregate 1.0% per annum; provided, further, however, that (1) upon the filing
-------- ------- -------
of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration as required
hereunder (in the case of clause (a)(i) of this Section 4), (2) upon the
effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or a Shelf
Registration as required hereunder (in the case of clause (a)(ii) of this
Section 4), or (3) upon the exchange of Exchange Notes for all Notes tendered
(in the case of clause (a)(iii)(A) of this Section 4), or upon the
effectiveness of a Shelf Registration which had ceased to remain effective (in
the case of (a)(iii)(B) of this Section 4), Additional Interest on the Notes as
a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof), as the case may be,
shall cease to accrue. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary, so long as any Registrable Note is then covered by an
effective Shelf Registration Statement, no Additional Interest shall accrue on
such Registrable Security.
(b) The Company and the Guarantors shall notify the Trustee within two
business days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of
which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an "Event Date"). Any amounts
----------
of Additional Interest due pursuant to (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this
Section 4 will be payable in cash semi-annually on each June 1 and December 1
(to the holders of record on the May 15 and November 15 immediately preceding
such dates), commencing with the first such date occurring after any such
Additional Interest commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest will
be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the
principal amount of the Registrable Notes, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was
applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the
actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360.
5. Registration Procedures. In connection with the filing of any
-----------------------
Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the Company and the
Guarantors shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of the securities
covered thereby in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition
thereof, and pursuant thereto and in connection with any Registration Statement
filed by the Company and the Guarantors hereunder the Company and the Guarantors
shall:
-10-
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC prior to the applicable Filing Date,
a Registration Statement or Registration Statements as prescribed by Sections 2
or 3 hereof, and use their respective best efforts to cause each such
Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided
herein; provided, however, that, if (1) such filing is pursuant to Section 3
-------- -------
hereof, or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange
Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto, before filing any
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto,
the Company and the Guarantors shall furnish to and afford the Holders of the
Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or each such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel and the managing
underwriters, if any, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such
documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference
therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least
five business days prior to such filing, or such later date as is reasonable
under the circumstances). Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall file any
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto if
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes
covered by such Registration Statement, or any such Participating Broker-Dealer,
as the case may be, their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall
reasonably object.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective
amendments to each Shelf Registration or Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
as the case may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as
the case may be; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any
Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated
under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act applicable to each of them with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or
described in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the
subsequent resale of any securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer
covered by any such Prospectus. The Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed
not to have used their respective best efforts to keep a Registration Statement
effective during the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case
may be, relating thereto if the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be,
voluntarily takes any action that would result in selling Holders of the
Registrable Notes covered thereby or Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to
sell Exchange Notes not being able to sell such Registrable Notes or such
Exchange Notes during that period unless (i) such action is required by
applicable law or (ii) such action is taken by each of them in good faith and
for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of any of its obligations
hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets.
(c) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period relating thereto from whom the Company has received
written notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange
Offer, notify the selling Holders of Registrable Notes, or each such
Participating
-11-
Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters,
if any, promptly (but in any event within two Business Days), and confirm such
notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-
effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective
under the Securities Act (including in such notice a written statement that any
Holder may, upon request, obtain, at the sole expense of the Company and the
Guarantors, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or post-effective
amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by
the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary
prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if, at
any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in
connection with sales of the Registrable Notes or resales of Exchange Notes by
Participating Broker-Dealers, the representations and warranties of the Company
and the Guarantors contained in any agreement (including any underwriting
agreement) contemplated by Section 5(m) hereof cease to be true and correct in
all material respects, (iv) of the receipt by the Company or any Guarantor of
any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or
exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the
Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-
Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening
of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event, the
existence of any condition or any information becoming known that makes any
statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue
in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in or
amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or
documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the
determination by the Company and the Guarantors that a post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
(d) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period, use their respective reasonable best efforts to prevent
the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or
suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the
Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-
Dealer, for sale in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use
their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such
order at the earliest possible moment.
(e) If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 and if
requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), the Holders of a
majority in aggregate
-12-
principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold in connection with an
underwritten offering or any Participating Broker-Dealer, (i) promptly
incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information as the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), such Holders,
any Participating Broker-Dealer or counsel for any of them reasonably determine
is necessary to be included therein, (ii) make all required filings of such
prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable
after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in
such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, and (iii) supplement or
make amendments to such Registration Statement.
(f) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period, furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable Notes and
to each such Participating Broker-Dealer who so requests and to counsel and each
managing underwriter, if any, at the sole expense of the Company and the
Guarantors, one conformed copy of the Registration Statement or Registration
Statements and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, and, if requested, all documents incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits.
(g) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period, deliver to each selling Holder of Registrable Notes, or
each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their respective
counsel, and the underwriters, if any, at the sole expense of the Company, as
many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of
preliminary prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto and any
documents incorporated by reference therein as such Persons may reasonably
request; and, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5, the Company and
the Guarantors hereby consent to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment
or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or
each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the underwriters
or agents, if any, and dealers (if any), in connection with the offering and
sale of the Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale by Participating Broker-
Dealers of the Exchange Notes pursuant to, such Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Notes or any delivery
of a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by any
Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the
Applicable Period, to use their respective reasonable best efforts to register
or qualify, and to cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or
each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection
with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or
qualification) of such Registrable Notes for offer and sale under the securities
or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling
Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer, or the managing
-13-
underwriter or underwriters reasonably request; provided, however, that where
-------- -------
Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or Registrable Notes are
offered other than through an underwritten offering, the Company and the
Guarantors agree to cause their counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and
file registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this
Section 5(h), keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required
to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or the Registrable Notes
covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, further, that
-------- -------
neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to (A) qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take
any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation
in excess of a nominal dollar amount in any such jurisdiction where it is not
then so subject.
(i) If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
reasonably cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes and the
managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be
sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends and shall be in
a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company; and enable such
Registrable Notes to be in such denominations and registered in such names as
the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holders may request.
(j) Use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the
Registrable Notes covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or
approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be reasonably
necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or
underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Notes,
except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling
Holder's business, in which case the Company and the Guarantors will cooperate
in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and
the granting of such approvals.
(k) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
paragraph 5(c)(v) or 5(c)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable prepare and
(subject to Section 5(a) hereof) file with the SEC, at the sole expense of the
Company, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes being
sold thereunder or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom such
Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer, any such
Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
-14-
(l) Prior to the effective date of the first Registration Statement
relating to the Registrable Notes, (i) provide the Trustee with certificates for
the Registrable Notes in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust
Company and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Notes.
(m) In connection with any underwritten offering of Registrable Notes
pursuant to a Shelf Registration, enter into an underwriting agreement as is
customary in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities
and take all such other actions as are reasonably requested by the managing
underwriter or underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the registration
or the disposition of such Registrable Notes and, in such connection, (i) make
such representations and warranties to, and covenants with, the underwriters
with respect to the business of the Company, the Guarantors and their respective
subsidiaries (including any acquired business, properties or entity, if
applicable) and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any,
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, as
are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings of
debt securities similar to the Securities, and confirm the same in writing if
and when requested; (ii) obtain the written opinions of counsel to the Company
and the Guarantors and written updates thereof in form, scope and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters, addressed
to the underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions
requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably
requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters; (iii) obtain "cold
comfort" letters and updates thereof in form, scope and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters from the independent
certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (and, if
necessary, any other independent certified public accountants 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 or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, such letters to be in
customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in "cold
comfort" letters in connection with underwritten offerings and such other
matters as reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters as
permitted by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72; and (iv) if an
underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification
provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set forth in Section 7
hereof (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable to Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Notes covered by such
Registration Statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters or agents)
with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section. The
above shall be done as and to the extent required by such underwriting
agreement.
(n) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof,
or (2) a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during
the Applicable Period, make available for inspection by any selling Holder of
such Registrable Notes being sold, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as
the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of
Registrable Notes, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained
by any such selling Holder or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case
may be, or underwriter (collectively, the
-15-
"Inspectors"), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business
----------
hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
instruments of the Company, the Guarantors and their respective subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Records") as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to
exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers,
directors and employees of the Company, the Guarantors and their respective
subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement or Prospectus. Records
which the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and any Records
which the Company notifies the Inspectors in writing are confidential shall not
be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is
necessary or advisable to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such
Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to
a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii)
disclosure of such information is necessary or advisable in connection with any
action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or
potentially involving such Inspector and arising out of, based upon, relating
to, or involving this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, or any transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or arising hereunder or thereunder; provided,
--------
however, that prior notice shall be provided as soon as practicable to the
-------
Company of the potential disclosure of any information by such Inspector
pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this sentence to permit the Company and the
Guarantors to obtain a protective order (or waive the provisions of this
paragraph (n)) and that such Inspector shall take such actions as are reasonably
necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information (if practicable) to
the extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or
in derogation of the rights and interests of the Holder or any Inspector, or
(iv) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the
public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement.
(o) Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes or the
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture or the trust
indenture provided for in Section 2(a) hereof, as the case may be, to be
qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first
Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Notes; and in connection
therewith, reasonably cooperate with the trustee under any such indenture and
the Holders of the Registrable Notes, to effect such changes to such indenture
as may be required for such indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the
terms of the TIA; and execute, and use their respective reasonable best efforts
to cause such trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect
such changes, and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the
SEC to enable such indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.
(p) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC and make generally available to their respective
securityholders earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated
under the Securities Act) no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month
period (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a
fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which
Registrable Notes are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts
underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering,
commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the
effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said
12-month periods.
-16-
(q) Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange,
obtain an opinion of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors, in a form
customary for underwritten transactions, addressed to the Trustee for the
benefit of all Holders of Registrable Notes participating in the Exchange Offer
or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, that the Exchange Notes or Private
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the related indenture constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company (and the Guarantors, in the case of
the guarantees thereof) enforceable against the Company (and the Guarantors, in
the case of the guarantees thereof) in accordance with their terms, subject to
customary exceptions and qualifications.
(r) If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated,
upon delivery of the Registrable Notes by Holders to the Company (or to such
other Person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the Exchange Notes or
the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, the Company shall ▇▇▇▇, or cause
to be marked, on such Registrable Notes that such Registrable Notes are being
cancelled in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as
the case may be; in no event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or
otherwise satisfied.
(s) Reasonably cooperate with each seller of Registrable Notes covered
by any Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the
disposition of such Registrable Notes and their respective counsel in connection
with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD").
----
(t) Use their respective reasonable best efforts to take all other
steps necessary or advisable to effect the registration of the Exchange Notes
and/or Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement contemplated
hereby.
The Company and the Guarantors may require each seller of Registrable
Notes as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company
such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable
Notes as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request. The Company
may exclude from such registration the Registrable Notes of any seller if such
seller fails to furnish such information within 20 Business Days after receiving
such request. Each seller as to which any registration 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 seller
not materially misleading.
If any such Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or
otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company or any Guarantor, then
such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of
language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, to the
effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed
as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the securities
covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will
assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company or such
Guarantor, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or
otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute
then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder in any amendment or
supple-
-17-
ment to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that
such reference ceases to be required.
Each Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer
agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by
such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon actual receipt
of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind
described in Section 5(c)(ii), 5(c)(iv), 5(c)(v), or 5(c)(vi) hereof, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Notes covered
by such Registration Statement or Prospectus or Exchange Notes to be sold by
such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, until such
Holder's or Participating Broker-Dealer's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(k) hereof, or until
it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the
------
applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments
or supplements thereto. In the event that the Company shall give any such
notice, the Applicable Period shall be extended by the number of days during
such periods from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and
including the date when each seller of Registrable Notes covered by such
Registration Statement or Exchange Notes to be sold by such Participating
Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, shall have received (x) the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(k) hereof or (y)
the Advice.
6. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the
---------------------
performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company and the
Guarantors shall be borne by the Company and the Guarantors, whether or not any
Exchange Offer or any Shelf Registration is filed or becomes effective or the
Exchange Offer is consummated, including, without limitation, (i) all
registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, (A) fees with
respect to filings required to be made with the NASD in connection with an
underwritten offering and (B) fees and expenses of compliance with state
securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the
Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes and determination of the eligibility of the
Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes for investment under the laws of such
jurisdictions (x) where the holders of Registrable Notes are located, in the
case of the Exchange Notes, or (y) as provided in Section 5(h) hereof, in the
case of Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by a Participating
Broker-Dealer during the Applicable Period)), (ii) printing expenses, including,
without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Notes or
Exchange Notes in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company
and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes included in any Registration
Statement or in respect of Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by any
Participating Broker-Dealer during the Applicable Period, as the case may be,
(iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Company and the
Guarantors, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the
Guarantors and reasonable fees and disbursements of one special counsel for all
of the sellers of Registrable Notes (exclusive of any counsel retained pursuant
to Section 7 hereof), (v) fees and disbursements of all independent certified
public accountants referred to in Section 5(m)(iii) hereof (including, without
limitation, the expenses of any special audit and "cold comfort" letters
required by or incident to such performance), (vi) Securities Act liability
insurance, if the Company and the Guarantors desire such insurance,
-18-
(vii) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company and the
Guarantors, (viii) internal expenses of the Company and the Guarantors
(including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and
employees of the Company and the Guarantors performing legal or accounting
duties), (ix) the expense of any annual audit, (x) the fees and expenses
incurred by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with the listing of the
securities to be registered on any securities exchange, and the obtaining of a
rating of these securities, in each case, if applicable, and (xi) the expenses
relating to printing, word processing and distributing all Registration
Statements, underwriting agreements, indentures and any other documents
necessary in order to comply with this Agreement.
7. Indemnification. (a) The Company and each Guarantor, jointly
---------------
and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable
Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes during the
Applicable Period, the officers and directors of each such Person, and each
Person, if any, who controls any such Person within the meaning of either
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a
"Participant"), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
------------
liabilities (including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and other
expenses actually incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or
any claim asserted) caused by, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented
if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or
any preliminary prospectus, or caused by, arising out of or based upon any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the
Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are
caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to
any Participant furnished to the Company or any Guarantor in writing by such
Participant expressly for use therein; provided, however, that neither the
-------- -------
Company nor any Guarantor will be liable if such untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission was contained or made in any preliminary
prospectus and corrected in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto and the Prospectus does not contain any other untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact that was the
subject matter of the related proceeding and any such loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense suffered or incurred by the Participants resulted from any
action, claim or suit by any Person who purchased Registrable Notes or Exchange
Notes which are the subject thereof from such Participant and it is established
in the related proceeding that such Participant failed to deliver or provide a
copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to such Person with or prior
to the confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes sold
to such Person if required by applicable law, unless such failure to deliver or
provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of
noncompliance by the Company or any Guarantor with Section 5 of this Agreement.
(b) Each Participant agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify
and hold harmless each of the Company and Guarantors, their respective
directors, their respective officers who sign the Registration Statement and
each Person who controls the Company and the Guarantors within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
-19-
to the same extent (but on a several, and not joint, basis) as the foregoing
indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to each Participant, but only with
reference to information relating to such Participant furnished to the Company
and any Guarantor in writing by such Participant expressly for use in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or
any preliminary prospectus. The liability of any Participant under this
paragraph shall in no event exceed the proceeds received by such Participant
from sales of Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes giving rise to such
obligations.
(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 indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the
two preceding paragraphs, such Person (the "Indemnified Person") shall promptly
------------------
notify the Persons against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "Indemnifying
------------
Persons") in writing, and the Indemnifying Persons, upon request of the
-------
Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the
Indemnifying Persons may reasonably designate in such proceeding and shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred by such counsel related to
such proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the
-------- -------
Indemnifying Persons shall not relieve any of them of any obligation or
liability which any of them may have hereunder or otherwise (unless and only to
the extent that such failure directly results in the loss or compromise of any
material rights or defenses). 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 Persons and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed in
writing to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Persons shall have failed within
a reasonable period of time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including
any impleaded parties) include both any Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person or any affiliate and representation of both parties by the same counsel
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
them. It is understood that, unless there exists a conflict among Indemnified
Persons, the Indemnifying Persons shall not, in connection with any one such
proceeding or separate but substantially similar related proceeding in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations, 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 promptly as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the
Participants and such control Persons of Participants shall be designated in
writing by Participants who sold a majority in interest of Registrable Notes and
Exchange Notes sold by all such Participants and reasonably acceptable to the
Company and the Guarantors and any such separate firm for the Company and the
Guarantors, their respective directors, their respective officers and such
control Persons of the Company and the Guarantors shall be designated in writing
by the Company and the Guarantors and reasonably acceptable to the Holders.
The Indemnifying Persons shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff for which the Indemnified Person is
entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Indemnifying
Persons agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from
-20-
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 in writing to the chief legal officer or, if no chief legal
officer exists, to the chief executive officer of an Indemnifying Person to
reimburse the Indemnified Person for reasonable fees and expenses actually
incurred by counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the
Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the
aforesaid request and (ii) a second such written request shall have been sent to
and received by the chief legal officer or, if no chief legal officer exists, to
the chief executive officer of the Indemnifying Person at least 30 days after
the first such request but at least 15 days prior to the date of such
settlement, and (iii) with respect to such request, such Indemnifying Person
shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person for all reasonable fees and
expenses actually incurred by such counsel, as contemplated by the third
sentence of this paragraph, in accordance with such request prior to the date of
such settlement, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Person shall not be
-------- -------
liable for any settlement effected without its consent pursuant to this sentence
if the Indemnifying Person is contesting, in good faith, the request for
reimbursement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Persons (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party, or
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional written 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.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in the first and second
paragraphs of this Section 7 is for any reason unavailable to, or insufficient
to hold harmless, an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under
such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder and
in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the Indemnifying Person or Persons on the one hand and
the Indemnified Person or Persons on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the
Guarantors on the one hand or such Participant or such other Indemnified Person,
as the case may be, on the other, the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the
circumstances.
(e) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation
--- ----
(even if the Participants 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 the immediately preceding paragraph. The
-21-
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any reasonable legal or other expenses actually incurred by such
Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall a
Participant be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which proceeds received by such Participant from sales of Registrable Notes or
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, pursuant to a Registration Statement,
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Participant has otherwise been
required to pay or has paid 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.
(f) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an
Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this
Section 7 shall be paid by the Indemnifying Persons to the Indemnified Person as
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred. The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in
this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless
of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or any person who
controls a Holder, the Company or any Guarantor, their respective directors or
officers or any person controlling the Company or any Guarantor, and (ii) any
termination of this Agreement.
(g) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this
Section 7 will be in addition to any liability which the Indemnifying Persons
may otherwise have to the Indemnified Persons referred to above.
8. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it will use its
------------------
reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the
SEC thereunder in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and, for so long as any Registrable Notes
remain outstanding, if at any time the Company is not required to file such
reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder or beneficial owner of
Registrable Notes, make available such information necessary to permit sales
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company further covenants
that, for so long as any Registrable Notes remain outstanding, it will use its
reasonable best efforts to take such further action as any Holder of Registrable
Notes may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to
enable such holder to sell Registrable Notes without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule
144(k) and Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from
time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
SEC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed
to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
9. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Registrable Notes
--------------------------
covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering,
the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will
manage the offering will be selected by the
-22-
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Notes
included in such offering and reasonably acceptable to the Company.
No Holder of Registrable Notes may participate in any underwritten
registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's
Registrable Notes on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.
10. Miscellaneous. (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the
------------- --------------------------
Company nor any Guarantor has, as of the date hereof, and neither the Company
nor any Guarantor shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any
agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Notes in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the
Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with
the rights granted to the holders of the Company's or any Guarantor's other
issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements. Neither the Company
nor any Guarantor will enter into any agreement with respect to any of its
securities which will grant to any Person piggy-back registration rights with
respect to any Registration Statement.
(b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Notes. Neither the Company nor
---------------------------------------
any Guarantor shall, directly or Notes indirectly, take any action with respect
to the Registrable Notes as a class that would adversely affect the ability of
the Holders of Registrable Notes to include such Registrable Notes in a
registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not
----------------------
be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written
consent of (I) the Company and the Guarantors and (II)(A) the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Registrable Notes and (B) in circumstances that would adversely affect the
Participating Broker-Dealers, the Participating Broker-Dealers holding not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes held by all
Participating Broker-Dealers; provided, however, that Section 7 and this Section
-------- -------
10(c) may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written
consent of each Holder and each Participating Broker-Dealer (including any
person who was a Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer of Registrable Notes or
Exchange Notes, as the case may be, disposed of pursuant to any Registration
Statement) affected by any such amendment, modification or supplement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of
Holders of Registrable Notes whose securities are being sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair,
limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Notes may be
given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Notes being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration
Statement.
-23-

limitation any notices or other communications to the Trustee) provided for or

------------------------------------------------
consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Notes is
required hereunder, Registrable Notes held by the Company, the Guarantors or any
of their affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was
given by the Holders of such required percentage.
