(ci) The staff of the Commission has taken the position that any Broker-Dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Notes 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 Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. The Company understands that it is the Commissions' 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 Notes, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Notes owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the Act in connection with resales of Exchange Notes for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Act.
(ii) In light of Section 3{c)(i) hereof, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company agrees that the provisions of Section 4 hereof as they relate to a Shelf Registration shall also apply to an Exchange Offer Registration to the extent reasonably requested by the Initial Purchaser or one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, as provided in clause (ii) below, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Notes by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Commission recited in Section 3(c)(i) hereof; PROVIDED that:
(A) the Company shall not be required to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be contemplated by Section 4 hereof, for a period exceeding 180 days after the Date of exchange (as such period may be extended due to the suspension of the disposition of Notes as contemplated in Section 3 or 4 hereof (during which suspension Participating Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the Company to resell and shall not resell Notes pursuant to the Registration Statement) resulting from the determination in good faith of the Board of Directors of the Company that there is a valid purpose for such suspension and Participating Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the Company to deliver and shall not deliver such Prospectus after such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 3(c)); and
(B) the application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 4 hereof to an Exchange Offer Registration, to the extent not required by the positions of the Commission or the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, will be in conformity with the reasonable request to the Company by the Initial Purchaser at the request of a Participating Broker-Dealer or with the reasonable request in writing to the Company by one or more Broker-Dealers who certify to the Initial Purchaser and the Company in writing that they anticipate that they will be Participating Broker-Dealers; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if no Broker-Dealer who provides such notice becomes a Participating Broker-Dealer, then the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) shall cease; and PROVIDED FURTHER that, in connection with such application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 4 hereof to an Exchange Offer Registration, the Company shall be obligated (x) to deal only with one entity representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be the Initial Purchaser unless it elects not to act as such representative and (y) to cause to be delivered only one, if any, "cold comfort" letter with respect to the Prospectus in the form existing on the Date of exchange and with respect to each post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Item 5l2(a)(l)(ii) of Regulation S-K, if any, effected during the period specified in clause (A) above; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Participating Broker-Dealer that desires to be an addressee of such "cold comfort" letter must provide at its expense an opinion of counsel that it is an "underwriter" entitled to the statutory due diligence defense under Section 11 of the Act or provide such letters of representation to the accountants requested to prepare such "cold comfort" letter as are acceptable in form and substance to such accountants.
(iii) In addition to the foregoing, if the Company is required to comply with the provisions of Section 3(c)(ii) hereof, the Company shall include a “"Plan of Distribution” " section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate therein that any Participating Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities Subordinated Notes that were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities activities, may exchange such Subordinated Notes (other than Offered Securities Subordinated Notes acquired directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Companyaffiliate thereof) may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such “"Plan of Distribution” " section shall also contain all other information with respect to such sales of Broker-Dealer Exchange Notes by such Participating Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such “"Plan of Distribution” " shall not name any such Participating Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities Exchange Notes held by any such Participating Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations. Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within policy after the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Exchange Securities by Broker-Dealers, the Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements date of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 270 days from the Consummation Deadline or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto.
