2. Registration Under the Securities Act.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Company agrees to file under the Securities Act, no later than 270 days after the Closing Date, one or more registration statements relating to an offer to exchange (each such registration statement, an “Exchange Registration Statement”, and each such offer, an “Exchange Offer”) any and all of the Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities issued by

-3-

the Company, which debt securities have provisions that are substantially identical to the Securities (and are entitled to the benefits of a trust indenture which is substantially identical to the Indenture or is the Indenture and which has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act), except that they have been registered with the Commission pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and do not contain provisions restricting their transfer or for the additional interest contemplated in Section 2(c) below (any such new debt securities hereinafter called “Exchange Securities”). The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause an Exchange Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act no later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The Exchange Offers will be registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate form and will comply, in all material respects, with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act. The Company further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to commence and complete each Exchange Offer promptly, but no later than 30 days after such Exchange Registration Statement has become effective and exchange Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of such Exchange Offer. An Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been “completed” only if the Exchange Securities received by holders other than Restricted Holders in such Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of a substantial majority of the States of the United States of America. An Exchange Offer shall be deemed to have been completed upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Company having exchanged Exchange Securities for all outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (ii) the Company having exchanged, pursuant to such Exchange Offer, Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of such Exchange Offer, which shall be on a date that is at least 20 business days following the commencement of such Exchange Offer. The Company agrees (x) to include in an Exchange Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange Securities that is a broker-dealer or any other person with similar prospectus delivery requirements and (y) to keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for a period (the “Resale Period”) beginning when Exchange Securities are first issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the 30th day after such Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such broker-dealers or such other persons no longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange Registration Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in Sections 6(a), (c) and (d) hereof. In the event the Company for any reason does not complete the Exchange Offer as contemplated in this Section 2(a), the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except as provided in Section 2(b) below and for the payment of “Special Interest” as provided in Section 2(c) below.

(b) If on or prior to the time an Exchange Offer is completed in respect of the Securities, existing Commission interpretations are changed such that the Exchange Securities received by holders, other than Restricted Holders, in the Exchange Offer are not or would not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act, the Company shall, in lieu of conducting an Exchange Offer

-4-

contemplated by Section 2(a), file under the Securities Act no later than 360 days after the Closing Date, a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, a “Shelf Registration” and such registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective no later than 30 days after such Shelf Registration Statement is filed and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the earlier of the second anniversary of the Closing Date or such time as all the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement are sold thereunder; provided, however, that no holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in such Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of such Registrable Securities unless such holder is an Electing Holder. The Company further agrees to supplement or make amendments to such Shelf Registration Statement, as and when 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 rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration. In the event the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed or become or been declared effective as contemplated in this Section 2(b), the Company shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except for the payment of “Special Interest” as provided in Section 2(c) below.

(c) In the event that (i) the Exchange Offer is not completed within 390 days after the Closing Date or (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement (to the extent required by Section 2(b) hereof) has not become or been declared effective by the 390th day after the Closing Date or (iii) any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement in respect of the Securities required by Section 2(a) or 2(b) hereof is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the Company or shall become subject to an effective stop order issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement (except as specifically permitted herein) without being succeeded by a post-effective amendment or a prospectus supplement to such registration statement or an additional registration statement that cures such failure and, if necessary, is itself declared effective promptly (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a “Registration Default” and each period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing until the earlier of such time as no Registration Default is in effect or the second anniversary of the Closing Date, a “Registration Default Period”), then, the Company hereby agrees to pay to each holder of Registrable Securities affected thereby, as liquidated damages for such Registration Default, special interest (“Special Interest”), in addition to the Base Interest, which shall accrue at a per annum rate of 0.125% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period, and shall increase by 0.125% per annum at the end of this 90-day period for the remaining portion of the Registration Default Period; provided that the Company shall in no event be required to pay Special Interest for more than one Registration Default at any given time; and provided further that in no event shall the Special Interest rate exceed 0.25% per annum in the aggregate.

-5-

(d) The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary or advisable to be taken by it to ensure that the transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated.

(e) Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time and any reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time.

(a) Each registration statement covering such Registrable Securities and each prospectus (including any preliminary or summary prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) hereof and any further amendments or supplements to any such registration statement or prospectus, when it becomes effective or is filed with the Commission, as the case may be, and, in the case of an underwritten offering of such Registrable Securities, at the time of the sale by the underwriters under the underwriting agreement relating thereto and at the time of closing under such underwriting agreement, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and will not contain an 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 then existing not misleading; and at all times subsequent to the Effective Time when a prospectus would be required to be delivered under the Securities Act, other than from (i) such time as a notice has been given to holders of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii)(F) or Section 3(d)(viii)(F) hereof until (ii) such time as the Company furnishes an amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to Section 3(c)(iv) or Section 3(e) hereof, each such registration statement, and each prospectus (including any summary prospectus) contained therein or furnished pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(d) hereof, as then amended or supplemented, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the

-14-

circumstances then existing; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to (i) that part of the registration statement which constitutes the Statement of Eligibility under the Trust Indenture Act of the Trustee, (ii) statements or omissions in the registration statement or the prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing by a holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein; and (iii) any statement which does not constitute part of the registration statement or prospectus pursuant to Rule 412 under the Securities Act.

(b) The documents to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act, and none of such documents contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference, when they are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and will not contain an 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 are made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by a holder of Registrable Securities expressly for use therein or to any statement in any such document which does not constitute part of the registration statement or prospectus pursuant to Rule 412 under the Securities Act.

(c) The compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the By-laws of the Company or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, except, in each case, for such breaches, defaults and violations that would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as an entirety (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act, and the qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, as contemplated by this Agreement, and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications the failure to obtain or make would not have a Material Adverse Effect or affect the validity of the Exchange Securities and as may be required under State securities or blue sky or insurance securities laws in connection with the offering and distribution of the Exchange Securities.

6. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each of the holders of Registrable Securities included in an Exchange Registration Statement, each of the Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement and each person who participates as a placement or sales agent or as an underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such placement or sales agent or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act in any offering or sale of such Registrable Securities against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder, agent, underwriter or control person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such holder, Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such holder, such Electing Holder, such agent, such underwriter and such control person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such person expressly for use therein; and provided, further, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any holder of Registrable Securities included in an Exchange Registration Statement, Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement or any person who participates as a placement or sales agent or as an underwriter in any offering or sale of such Registrable Securities from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased such Registrable Securities (or to the benefit of any person controlling any placement or sales agent or underwriter), to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such person results from the fact that a copy of the prospectus was not sent or given to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Securities to such person.

(b) Indemnification by the Holders and any Agents and Underwriters. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof and to entering into any underwriting agreement with respect thereto, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the Electing Holder of such Registrable Securities and from each underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement, severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its

-16-

directors, each of its officers who have signed such Shelf Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and all other holders of Registrable Securities against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person or such other holders of Registrable Securities may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such Electing Holder, agent or underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Electing Holder or underwriter expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company, any director, officer or controlling person or other holder of Registrable Securities for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person or holder of Registrable Securities in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

(c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice in writing of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions under this Section 6, notify such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification provisions of Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified

-17-

party in connection with the statements or omissions which 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 such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The holders’ and any underwriters’ obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint.

7. Underwritten Offerings.

(a) Selection of Underwriters. If any of the Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration are to be sold pursuant to an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering, provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is acceptable to the Company.

(b) Participation by Holders. Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby agrees with each other such holder that no such holder may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such holder (i) agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and

-18-

executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

8. Rule 144.

For one year from the Closing Date, the Company covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and shall take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, if delivered personally or by courier, or three days after being deposited in the mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows: If to the Company, to it at 00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Secretary, and if to a holder, to the address of such holder set forth in the security register or other records of the Company, or to such other address as the Company or any such holder may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

(b) Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and such holders and the directors, officers and controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof. In the event that any transferee of any holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by, all of the applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the Company shall so request, any such successor, assign or transferee shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the applicable terms hereof. If the

-19-

Company so requests, then until such writing is obtained, such successor, assign or transferee shall have no rights under this Agreement.

(c) Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any holder of Registrable Securities, any director, officer or partner of such holder, any agent or underwriter or any director, officer or partner thereof, or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive the transfer and registration of Registrable Securities by such holder and the consummation of an Exchange Offer.

(d) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(e) Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(f) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other writings referred to herein (including the Indenture and the Notes) or delivered pursuant hereto which form a part hereof contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument duly executed by the Company. In the case of any amendment or waiver that materially and adversely affects the rights of a holder of Registrable Securities, such amendment or waiver must be approved by the holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the materially and adversely affected holders of Registrable Securities. Each holder of any Registrable Securities at the time or thereafter Outstanding shall be bound by any amendment or waiver effected pursuant to this Section 9(f), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment or waiver appears on such Registrable Securities or is delivered to such holder. Any such amendment may be retroactive so long as such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of Registrable Securities in any material respect.

(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

-20-

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us four counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement between the Purchaser and the Company.
