Ladies and Gentlemen:
UNIVERSAL CITY DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, LTD., a Florida partnership (the
"Company"), and UCDP FINANCE, INC., a Florida corporation ("UCDP Finance"), as
joint and several obligors (the "Issuers"), propose to issue and sell to X.X.
Xxxxxx Securities Inc. ("JPMorgan"), Banc of America Securities LLC ("BofA"),
Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation ("Credit Suisse"), Scotia Capital (USA)
Inc. ("Scotia Capital") and Wachovia Securities, Inc. ("Wachovia")
(collectively, the "Initial Purchasers"), upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in a purchase agreement dated March 21, 2003 (the "Purchase
Agreement"), which provides for the sale by the Issuers to the Initial
Purchasers of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers' 11 3/4%
Senior Notes due 2010 (the "Notes"). Capitalized terms used, but not defined,
herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase
Agreement and in satisfaction of a condition to the obligations of the Initial
Purchasers thereunder, the Issuers agree with the Initial Purchasers, for the
benefit of the holders of the Notes, including the Initial Purchasers and their
direct and indirect transferees, and the Exchange Notes (as defined herein)
(collectively, the "Holders"), as follows:
-2-
1. Registered Exchange Offer. The Issuers shall use their reasonable
best efforts to prepare and, not later than 180 days following the date of
original issuance of the Notes (the "Issue Date"), file with the Commission a
registration statement (the "Exchange Offer Registration Statement") on Form S-4
(or, if applicable, on another appropriate form) under the Securities Act with
respect to a proposed offer to the Holders of the Notes (the "Registered
Exchange Offer") to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the
Notes, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the Issuers (the
"Exchange Notes") that are identical to the Notes, except that the Exchange
Notes will not be subject to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in
annual interest for failure to comply with this Agreement and thereafter cause
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the
Securities Act no later than 240 days after the Issue Date, and the Registered
Exchange Offer to be completed no later than 270 days after the Issue Date. The
Exchange Notes will be issued under the Indenture or an indenture (the "Exchange
Indenture") among the Issuers and the Trustee or such other bank or trust
company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers, as trustee
(the "Exchange Trustee"), such indenture to be identical to the Indenture,
except that such indenture shall not contain any provisions relating to
restrictions on transfer with respect to the Exchange Notes or to any increase
in annual interest for failure to comply with this Agreement.
Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
the Issuers shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the
objective of such Registered Exchange Offer, to enable each Holder electing to
exchange Notes for Exchange Notes (assuming that such Holder (a) is not an
affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of either of the
Issuers or an Exchanging Dealer (as defined herein) not complying with the
requirements of the next sentence, (b) is not an Initial Purchaser holding Notes
that have the status of an unsold allotment remaining from the initial
distribution of the Notes, (c) acquires the Exchange Notes in the ordinary
course of such Xxxxxx's business and (d) has no arrangements or understandings
with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes) and to
trade such Exchange Notes from and after their receipt without any limitations
or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under
the securities laws of the several states of the United States. The Issuers, the
Initial Purchasers and each Exchanging Dealer acknowledge that, pursuant to
current interpretations by the Commission's staff of Section 5 of the Securities
Act, each Holder that is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Notes, acquired
for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, for Exchange Notes (an "Exchanging Dealer"), may be deemed to be an
"underwriter", within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a
sale of any such Exchange Notes received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to
the Registered Exchange Offer.
In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuers shall:
-3-
(a) mail or cause to be mailed to each Holder a copy of the prospectus
forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, together with an
appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents;
(b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 20
business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date on
which notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders;
(c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange
Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York;
(d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Notes at any time prior to the
close of business, New York City time, on the last business day on which
the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and
(e) otherwise comply in all respects with all laws that are applicable
to the Registered Exchange Offer.
The Registered Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than
that the Registered Exchange Offer does not violate any applicable law or
applicable interpretations of the staff of the Commission.
As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange
Offer, the Issuers shall:
(a) accept for exchange all Notes tendered and not validly withdrawn
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer;
(b) deliver to the Trustee for cancelation all Notes so accepted for
exchange; and
(c) cause the Trustee or the Exchange Trustee, as the case may be,
promptly to authenticate and deliver to each Holder Exchange Notes equal in
principal amount to the Notes of such Holder so accepted for exchange.
The Issuers shall use their reasonable 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 used by
all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements
in order to resell the Exchange Notes; provided that (i) in the case where such
prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an
Exchanging Dealer, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on
which all Exchanging Dealers have sold all Exchange Notes held by them and (ii)
the Issuers shall
-4-
make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to any
broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Notes for a
period of not less than 180 days after the consummation of the Registered
Exchange Offer (such period being called the "Exchange Offer Registration
Period").
The Indenture or the Exchange Indenture, as the case may be, shall
provide that the Notes and the Exchange Notes shall vote and consent together on
all matters as one class and that none of the Notes or the Exchange Notes will
have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.
Interest on each Exchange Note issued pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest
was paid on the Note surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has
been paid on the Notes, from the Issue Date.
Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be
required to represent to the Issuers that at the time of the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Notes to be received by such Holder
will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have
no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes,
(iii) such Holder is not an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act) of either of the Issuers and (iv) if such Holder is an Exchange
Dealer, then such Holder will deliver a prospectus in connection with a sale of
any Exchange Notes received by such Holder pursuant to the Registered Exchange
Offer.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Issuers will ensure
that (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and
any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all
material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, 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 not misleading and
(iii) any prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
and any supplement to such prospectus, does not, at any time during the Exchange
Offer Registration Period, include an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
2. Shelf Registration. If (i) because of any change in law or
applicable interpretations thereof by the Commission's staff, the Issuers are
not permitted to effect the Registered Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section
1 hereof, or (ii) any Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Registered Exchange
Offer are not exchanged for Exchange Notes
-5-
within 270 days after the Issue Date, or (iii) any Initial Purchaser so requests
with respect to Notes not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Notes in the
Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer, or (iv) any applicable law or interpretations do not
permit any Holder to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer, or (v) any
Holder that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer does not receive
freely transferable Exchange Notes in exchange for tendered Notes, or (vi) the
Issuers so elect, then the following provisions shall apply:
(a) The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to file as
promptly as practicable with the Commission, and thereafter shall use their
reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective, a shelf
registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act
relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Notes (as defined
below) by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the
methods of distribution set forth in such registration statement (a "Shelf
Registration Statement" and, together with any Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, a "Registration Statement").
(b) The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep the
Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the
prospectus forming part thereof to be used by Holders of Transfer
Restricted Notes for a period ending on the earlier of (i) two years from
the Issue Date or such shorter period that will terminate when all the
Transfer Restricted Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant thereto and (ii) the date on which the Notes become
eligible for resale without regard to the volume, manner of sale and other
restrictions contained in Rule 144 under the Securities Act pursuant to
paragraph (k) thereof (in any such case, such period being called the
"Shelf Registration Period"). The Issuers shall be deemed not to have used
their reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
effective during the requisite period if any of them voluntarily take any
action that would result in Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes covered
thereby not being able to offer and sell such Transfer Restricted Notes
during that period, unless (A) such action is required by applicable law or
(B) such action was permitted by Section 2(c).
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(b) (but subject to the
provisions of Section 3(b)), the Issuers may issue a notice that the Shelf
Registration Statement is unusable pending the announcement of a material
corporate transaction and may issue any notice suspending use of the Shelf
Registration Statement required under applicable securities laws to be
issued.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Issuers will
ensure that (i) the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies
in all material
-6-
respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, (ii) the Shelf Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto (in either case, other than with respect to information
included therein in reliance upon or in conformity with written information
furnished to the Issuers by or on behalf of any Holder specifically for use
therein (the "Holders' Information")) does not, when it becomes effective,
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 not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of the Shelf
Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus (in either
case, other than with respect to Holders' Information), does not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
3. Additional Interest. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Holders
of Transfer Restricted Notes will suffer damages if the Issuers fail to fulfill
their obligations under Section 1 or Section 2, as applicable, and that it would
not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages. Accordingly, in the
event that either (i) the Registered Exchange Offer is not completed (other than
in the event the Issuers file a Shelf Registration Statement) or (ii) the Shelf
Registration Statement, if required hereby, is not declared effective, in either
case on or prior to 270 days after the Issue Date (the "Target Registration
Date"), the interest rate on the Notes will be increased by (x) 0.25% per annum
for the first 90-day period immediately following the Target Registration Date
and (y) an additional 0.25% per annum thereafter in each case until the
Registered Exchange Offer is completed or the Shelf Registration Statement, if
required hereby, is declared effective by the Commission or the Notes cease to
constitute Transfer Restricted Notes.
(b) If the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective and
thereafter either ceases to be effective, or the prospectus contained therein
ceases to be usable at any time during the Shelf Registration Period (as a
result of the issuance by the Issuers of a notice that the Shelf Registration
Statement is unusable pending the announcement of a material corporate
transaction, the issuance by the Issuers of a notice suspending use of the Shelf
Registration Statement as may be required under applicable securities laws to be
issued or for any other reason), and such failure to remain effective or usable
exists for more than 60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any twelve-month
period, then the interest rate on Notes that constitute Transfer Restricted
Notes will be increased (commencing on the 61st day in such twelve-month period)
by (x) 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following such
60th day of ineffectiveness or lack of usability and (y) an additional 0.25% per
annum thereafter, which additional interest shall cease to accrue on such date
that the Shelf Registration Statement has again been declared effective or the
prospectus contained therein again becomes usable. If after any such cessation
of the accrual of additional interest the Shelf Registration Statement again
ceases to be effective or the prospectus contained therein
-7-
again ceases to be usable beyond the period permitted above, additional interest
will again accrue pursuant to the foregoing provisions.
(c) The Issuers shall notify the Trustee and the paying agent under the
Indenture promptly upon the happening of each and every event that results in
the accrual of additional interest pursuant to Section 3(a) or 3(b) (any such
event being called a "Registration Default"). The Issuers shall pay the
additional interest due on the Transfer Restricted Notes by depositing with the
paying agent (which may not be either of the Issuers for these purposes), in
trust, for the benefit of the Holders thereof, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the next interest payment date specified by the Indenture and the
Notes, sums sufficient to pay the additional interest then due. The additional
interest due shall be payable on each interest payment date specified by the
Indenture and the Notes to the record holder entitled to receive the interest
payment to be made on such date. Each obligation to pay additional interest
shall be deemed to accrue from and including the date of the applicable
Registration Default.
(d) The parties hereto agree that the liquidated damages in the form of
additional interest provided for in this Section 3 constitute a reasonable
estimate of and are intended to constitute the sole damages that will be
suffered by Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes by reason of the failure of (i)
the Registered Exchange Offer to be completed, (ii) the Shelf Registration
Statement, if required hereby, to be declared effective or (iii) the Shelf
Registration Statement to remain effective (and the prospectus contained therein
to remain usable), in each case to the extent required by this Agreement.
(e) As used herein, the term "Transfer Restricted Notes" means (i) each
Note until the date on which such Note has been exchanged for a freely
transferable Exchange Note in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) each Note
until the date on which it has been registered under the Securities Act and
disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iii) each
Note until the date on which it is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 3(a) and
3(b) hereof, the Issuers shall not be required to pay additional interest to a
Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes if such Holder failed to comply with its
obligations to make the representations set forth in the second to last
paragraph of Section 1 or failed to provide the information required to be
provided by it, if any, pursuant to Section 4(n).
4. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Registration
Statement, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) The Issuers shall (i) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, prior to
the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Registration

shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus
until the requisite changes have been made):
(i) when any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has
been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
(ii) of any request by the Commission after the effective date
for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the
prospectus included therein or for additional information;
(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(iv) of the receipt by the Issuers of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes or the
Exchange Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(v) of the happening of any event that requires the making of any
changes in any Registration Statement or the prospectus included herein
in order that the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.

withdrawal at the earliest possible time of any order suspending the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement.

offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Notes covered by such prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto.
(f) The Issuers will furnish to each Initial Purchaser and each
Exchanging Dealer, and to any other Holder who so requests, without charge,
at least one conformed copy of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements
and schedules and, if any Initial Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer or any
such Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those,
if any, incorporated by reference).
(g) The Issuers will, during the Exchange Offer Registration Period or
the Shelf Registration Period, as applicable, promptly deliver to each

Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement
and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Initial Purchaser,
Exchanging Dealer or other persons may reasonably request; and the Issuers
consent to the use of such prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto by any such Initial Purchaser, Exchanging Dealer or other persons,
as applicable, as aforesaid.
(h) Prior to the effective date of any Registration Statement, the

such Holder reasonably requests in writing, and do any and all other acts
or things reasonably necessary to enable the offer and sale in such
-10-
jurisdictions of the Notes or Exchange Notes covered by such Registration
Statement; provided that neither of the Issuers will be required to qualify

qualified or to take any action which would subject them to general service
of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where they are not then
so subject.
(i) The Issuers will cooperate with the Holders of Notes or Exchange
Notes to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold pursuant to any
Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such
denominations and registered in such names as the Holders thereof may

of any sales of Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to such Registration
Statement.
(j) If any event contemplated by Section 4(b)(ii) through (v) occurs
during the period for which the Issuers are required to maintain an
effective Registration Statement (the "Effectiveness Period"), the Issuers
will promptly prepare and file with the Commission a post-effective

-11-

be registered pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to
the Issuers such information concerning the Holder and the distribution of
such Transfer Restricted Notes as the Issuers may from time to time
reasonably request for inclusion in such Shelf Registration Statement, and
the Issuers may exclude from such registration the Transfer Restricted
Notes of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a
reasonable time after receiving such request.
(o) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Notes to be registered pursuant thereto agrees by

(v), such Holder will discontinue disposition of such Transfer Restricted
Notes until such Holder's receipt of copies of the supplemental or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 4(j) or until advised in writing by the
Issuers that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed (the

Statement shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemental or amended

take all such other action, if any, as Holders of a majority in aggregate

withheld). Each Initial Purchaser and Holder shall pay all expenses of its
counsel (other than as set forth in the preceding sentence), underwriting

Exchanging Dealer), its affiliates, their respective officers, directors,
employees, representatives and agents, and each person, if any, who controls
such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 6 and
Section 7 as a "Holder") from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability,
joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, without
limitation, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases
and sales of Notes or Exchange Notes), to which that Holder may become subject,
whether commenced or threatened, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
other federal, state or foreign statutory law or regulation, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out
of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any such Registration Statement or any prospectus
forming part thereof or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the
omissions or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the

reimburse each Holder promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by that Holder in connection with investigating or defending
or preparing to defend against or appearing as a third party witness in
connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be liable
in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in
reliance upon and in conformity with any Holders' Information; and provided,
further, that with respect to any such untrue statement in or omission from any
related preliminary prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 6(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder from whom the person
asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action received Notes or
Exchange Notes to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
of or with respect to such Holder results from the fact that both (A) a copy of
the final prospectus was not sent or given to such person at or prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of such Notes or Exchange Notes to such person
and (B) the untrue statement in or omission from the related preliminary
prospectus was corrected in the final prospectus, unless such failure to deliver
the final prospectus was a result of non-compliance by the Issuers with Section
4(d), 4(e), 4(f) or 4(g).
(b) In the event of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers and their respective affiliates,
officers, directors,
-14-
employees, representatives and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the
Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 6(b) and
Section 7 as the "Issuers"), from and against any loss, claim, damage or
liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the
Issuers may become subject, whether commenced. or threatened, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal, state or foreign statutory
law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such
Registration Statement or any prospectus forming part thereof or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that
the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Holders' Information
furnished to the Issuers by such Xxxxxx, and shall reimburse the Issuers for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuers in connection with
investigating or defending or preparing to defend against or appearing as a
third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such Holder
shall be liable for any indemnity claims hereunder in excess of the amount of
net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Notes pursuant to such
Shelf Registration Statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6
of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party pursuant to Section 6(a) or 6(b), notify the indemnifying party in writing
of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the
failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability
which it may have under this Section 6 except to the extent that it has been
materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses)
by such failure; and provided further, that the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. If any such claim or
action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the
indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to
the indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
that an indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any
such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel for the
indemnified party will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1)
the
-15-
employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by
the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded
(based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified party) that there may be legal
defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or
in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or
potential conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified
party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case
the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such
action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party has not
in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to
assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving
notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the
indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or
parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees, disbursements and other charges
of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel)
at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. Each indemnified
party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in Sections 6(a) and
6(b), shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party
in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with
its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any
such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section
6(a) or 6(b) otherwise than as a result of the limitations therein contained,
then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof,
(i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Issuers from the offering and sale of the Notes, on the one
hand, and a Holder with respect to the resale by such Holder of Notes or
Exchange Notes, on the other, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Issuers, on the one hand, and such Holder, on the
other, with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.
-16-
The relative benefits received by the Issuers, on the one hand, and a Holder, on
the other, with respect to such offering and such sale shall be deemed to be in
the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes
(before deducting expenses) received by or on behalf of the Issuers, on the one
hand, bear to the total proceeds received by such Holder with respect to its
sale of Notes or Exchange Notes, on the other. The relative fault 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 the Issuers or information supplied by the Issuers,
on the one hand, or to any Holders' Information supplied by such Holder, on the
other, the intent of the parties, and their relative knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to this Section 7 were to be determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by
an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or
action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed
to include, for purposes of this Section 7, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 7, an indemnifying party that is a Holder of
Notes or Exchange Notes shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes or Exchange Notes sold
by such indemnifying party to any purchaser exceeds the amount of any damages
which such indemnifying party has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by
reason of any 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 remedies
provided in this Section 7 and in Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not
limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified
person at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained
in this Section 7 and in Section 6 shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder,
their respective affiliates or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser or
any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Issuers, their respective affiliates or
the officers or directors of or any person controlling the Issuers, (iii)
acceptance of any of the Exchange Notes and (iv) any sale of Notes pursuant to a
Shelf Registration Statement.
8. Rules 144 and 144A. The Issuers shall use their reasonable best
efforts to file the reports required to be filed by them under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Issuers are
not required to file such reports, they will, upon the written request of any
Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes, make publicly available other information
so long as necessary to permit sales of such Xxxxxx's securities pursuant to
Rules 144 and 144A. The Issuers covenant that they will take such further action
as any Holder of Transfer Restricted Notes may reasonably request, all to the
extent required
-17-
from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Transfer Restricted Notes
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including, without limitation, the
requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the written request of any Holder of
Transfer Restricted Notes, the Issuers shall deliver to such Holder a written
statement as to whether they have complied with such requirements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to
require the Issuers to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange
Act.
9. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Notes
covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers
that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted Notes included in such
offering, subject to the consent of the Issuers (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), and such Holders shall be responsible for the payment of
all underwriting commissions and discounts and related expenses incurred in
connection therewith.
No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted Notes on
the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and
executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.
10. Miscellaneous. (a) 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, unless the Issuers so
agree and have obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the Exchange Notes, taken as a
single class. 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 whose Notes or Exchange Notes are being sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the
rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes and the Exchange Notes being sold by such Holders
pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail,
telecopier or air courier guaranteeing next-day delivery:
(1) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to
the Issuers in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10(b), which
address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of such
Holder maintained by the Registrar
-18-
under the Indenture, with a copy in like manner to JPMorgan, BofA, Credit
Suisse, Wachovia and Scotia Capital;
(2) if to an Initial Purchaser, initially at its address set forth in
the Purchase Agreement; and
(3) if to the Issuers, initially at the address of the Issuers set

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given: when delivered by hand, if personally delivered; one business day after
being delivered to a next-day air courier; five business days after being
deposited in the mail; and when receipt is acknowledged by the recipient's
telecopier machine, if sent by telecopier.
(c) Successors And Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Issuers and their respective successors and assigns.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts (which may be delivered in original form or by telecopier) and by
the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement.
(e) Definition of Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term
"business day" means any day on which bond markets are generally open for
trading in New York City, (b) the term "subsidiary" has the meaning set forth in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (c) except where otherwise expressly
provided, the term "affiliate" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act.
(f) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(G) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(h) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each Issuer represents, warrants and
agrees that (i) it has not entered into, and shall not, on or after the date of
this Agreement, enter into any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof, (ii) it has not previously entered into any agreement which
remains in effect granting any registration rights with respect to any of its
debt securities to any person and (iii) (with respect to such Issuer) without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the written consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Transfer Restricted Notes, it shall not
-19-
xxxxx to any person the right to request such Issuer to register any debt
securities of such Issuer under the Securities Act unless the rights so granted
are not in conflict or inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
(i) No Piggyback on Registrations. None of the Issuers nor any of their
security holders (other than the Holders of Transfer Restricted Notes in such
capacity) shall have the right to include any securities of the Issuers in any
Shelf Registration or Registered Exchange Offer other than Transfer Restricted
Notes.
(j) Severability. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties
hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative
means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of
such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(k) Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party
beneficiary to the agreements made hereunder between the Issuers, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to
enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement
necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders
hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date first written above.

ANNEX A
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver
a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. The Letter of
Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a
broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the
meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection
with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Notes where such Notes
were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities. The Issuers have agreed that, for a period of 180 days
after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (the "Expiration Date"),
they will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in
connection with any such resale. See "Plan of distribution."
ANNEX B
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in
exchange for Notes, where such Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge
that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange
Notes. See "Plan of distribution."
ANNEX C
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver
a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. This
prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used
by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in
exchange for Notes where such Notes were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. The Issuers have agreed that, for a
period of 180 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, they
will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any
broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until
[DATE], all dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Notes may be required
to deliver a prospectus.
The Issuers will not receive any proceeds from any exchange of Notes
for Exchange Notes or from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers.
Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more
transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through
the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of
resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to
such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be
made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive
compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such
broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer
that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that
participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any
such resale of Exchange Notes and any commission or concessions received by any
such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities
Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will
deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to
admit that it is an "underwriter' within the meaning of the Securities Act.
For a period of 180 days after the consummation of the Registered
Exchange Offer the Issuers will promptly send additional copies of this
prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any
broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The
Issuers have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Registered Exchange
Offer other than commissions or concessions of any broker-dealers and will
indemnify the Holders of the Notes (including any broker-dealers) against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
