(b) Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall promptly commence the Exchange Offer, it being the

objective of such Exchange Offer to enable each Holder electing to exchange Initial Notes for Exchange Notes (assuming that such Holder (x) is not an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, (y) is not a broker-dealer that acquired the Initial Notes in a transaction other than as a part of its market-making or other trading activities and (z) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, acquires the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business, is not participating in the distribution of the Exchange Notes and has no arrangements or understandings with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes) to resell 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 a substantial proportion of the several states of the United States.

(c) In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall mail 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, stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law:

(i) that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Initial Notes validly tendered will be accepted for exchange;

(ii) the dates of acceptance for exchange;

(iii) that any Initial Notes not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest, but will not retain any rights under this Agreement;

(v) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election, not later than the close of business on the last day of acceptance for exchange, by sending to the institution and at the address (located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) specified in the notice a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Initial Notes exchanged; and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for not less than 20 days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders; utilize the services of a depositary for the Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York; and comply in all respects with all applicable laws relating to the Exchange Offer.

(d) As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer, the Company shall:

(i) accept for exchange all Initial Notes duly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer;

(ii) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Initial Notes so accepted for exchange; and

(iii) cause the Trustee promptly to authenticate and deliver to each Holder Exchange Notes equal in principal amount to the Initial Notes of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

(e) The Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that, pursuant to interpretations by the staff of the Commission of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, each Exchanging Dealer is required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with a sale of any Exchange Notes received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Initial Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. Accordingly, the Company and the Guarantors shall:

(i) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, in Annex B hereto in the forepart of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement in a section setting forth details of the Exchange Offer, in Annex C hereto in the underwriting or plan of distribution section of the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and in Annex D hereto in the letter of transmittal delivered pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and

(ii) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during the Exchange Offer Registration Period for delivery of the Prospectus included therein by Exchanging Dealers in connection with sales of Exchange Notes received pursuant to the Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 4(h) below; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for more than 30 days following the expiration of the Exchange Offer unless the Company and the Guarantors have been notified in writing on or prior to the 30th day following the expiration of the Exchange Offer by one or more Exchanging Dealers that such Holder has received Exchange Notes as to which it will be required to deliver a Prospectus upon resale.

(f) In the event that an Initial Purchaser determines that it is not eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer with respect to the exchange of Initial Notes constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement as contemplated by Section 3 hereof and at the request of the Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors shall issue and deliver to the Initial Purchasers, or to the party purchasing Initial Notes registered under the Shelf Registration Statement from the Initial Purchasers, in exchange for such Initial Notes, a like principal amount of Exchange Notes. The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the CUSIP Service Bureau to issue the same CUSIP number for such Exchange Notes as for Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

(g) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that (i) the Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the Commission, (ii) no action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency which might materially impair the ability of the Company or any of the Guarantors to proceed with the Exchange Offer, and no material adverse development shall have occurred in any existing action or proceeding

with respect to the Company or any of the Guarantors, and (iii) all governmental approvals shall have been obtained, which approvals the Company and the Guarantors deem necessary for the expiration of the Exchange Offer. The Company and the Guarantors shall inform the Initial Purchasers, upon their request, of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Initial Notes in the Exchange Offer.

(h) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder of Initial Notes shall furnish, upon the request of the Company and the Guarantors, prior to the expiration thereof, a written representation to the Company and the Guarantors (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company or any of the Guarantors, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business. In addition, all such Holders of Initial Notes shall otherwise cooperate in the Company’s and the Guarantors’ preparations for the Exchange Offer. Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that any broker-dealer and any such Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be acquired in the Exchange Offer (1) could not under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters, and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Notes acquired by such Holder directly from the Company and the Guarantors.

3. Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company and the Guarantors are not required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (ii) because of any change in law or applicable interpretations thereof by the Commission’s staff, the Company and the Guarantors determine upon advice of their outside counsel that they are not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer as contemplated by Section 2 hereof or (iii) any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities notifies the Company and the Guarantors prior to the 20th day following the expiration of the Exchange Offer that: (A) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a Prospectus and that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is an Exchanging Dealer and holds Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company and the Guarantors or one of their Affiliates (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 3, (x) the requirement that the Initial Purchasers deliver a Prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 and/or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act in connection with sales of Exchange Notes acquired in exchange for such Initial Notes shall result in such Exchange Notes being not “freely tradeable” and (y) the requirement that an Exchanging Dealer deliver a Prospectus in connection with sales of Exchange Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Initial Notes acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities shall not result in such Exchange Notes being not “freely tradeable”), the following provisions shall apply:

(a) The Company and the Guarantors shall prepare and file with the Commission, on or prior to the 30th calendar day after such filing obligation arises (the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Initial Notes and Guarantees or the Exchange Notes and Exchange Guarantees, as applicable, by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided that, with respect to Exchange Notes and Exchange Guarantees received by the Initial Purchasers in exchange for Initial Notes and the Guarantees constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Company and the Guarantors may, if permitted by current interpretations by the Commission’s staff, file a post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement containing the information required by Regulation S-K Items 507 and/or 508, as applicable, in satisfaction of their obligations under this paragraph (a) with respect thereto, and any such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as so amended, shall be referred to herein as, and governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration Statement.

(b) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the 90th calendar day after the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed under this Section 3 (the “Shelf Effectiveness Deadline”) and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the Prospectus contained therein to be usable by Holders until the earliest of (i) one year after the original issue date of the Notes covered thereby; provided that this clause (i) shall not be considered in determining the date until which the Shelf Registration Statement remains effective for any Holder that is an Affiliate of the Investors (as defined in the Indentures), (ii) such time as all of the Notes have been sold thereunder or (iii) the date upon which all Notes covered by such Shelf Registration Statement become eligible for resale, without regard to volume, manner of sale or other restrictions contained in Rule 144 (in any such case, such period being called the “Shelf Registration Period”). The Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed not to have used their respective commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if the Company or any of the Guarantors voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Notes covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Notes during that period, unless (i) such action is required by applicable law, (ii) the Company and the Guarantors comply with this Agreement or (iii) such action is taken by the Company or any of the Guarantors in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, so long as the Company and the Guarantors promptly thereafter comply with the requirements of Section 4(m) hereof, if applicable.

(p) The Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders of Initial Notes or Exchange Notes to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and to execute, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner.

(q) The Company and the Guarantors may require each Holder of Initial Notes to be sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company and the Guarantors such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Initial Notes as the Company and the Guarantors may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in such Registration Statement.

(r) The Company and the Guarantors shall, if requested, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement, such information as the Managing Underwriters, if any, and Majority Holders reasonably agree should be included therein, and shall make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment promptly upon notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.

(s) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements) and take all other appropriate actions in order to expedite or to facilitate the registration or the disposition of any Initial Notes included therein, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set forth in Section 6 (or such other provisions and procedures acceptable to the Majority Holders and the Managing Underwriters, if any) with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.

(t) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall:

(i) make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of Notes to be registered thereunder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and any of its subsidiaries;

(ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations and make such representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or Managing Underwriters, if any, available for discussion of any such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any non-public information that is designated in writing by the Company, in good faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by any such Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent;

(iii) make such representations and warranties to the Holders of Notes registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in similar underwritten offerings as may be reasonably requested by them;

(iv) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in similar underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters;

(v) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to the underwriters, if any, and use reasonable efforts to have such letter addressed to the selling Holders of

Notes registered thereunder (to the extent consistent with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72 (“SAS 72”) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)), in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with similar underwritten offerings, or if the provision of such “cold comfort” letters is not permitted by SAS 72 or if requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel in lieu of a “cold comfort” letter, an agreed-upon procedures letter under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 75 of the AICPA, covering matters requested by the Initial Purchasers or their counsel; and

(vi) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders and the Managing Underwriters, if any, and customarily delivered in similar offerings, including those to evidence compliance with Section 4(m) and with any conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company and the Guarantors.

The foregoing actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 4(t) shall be performed at (A) the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto and (B) each closing under any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder.

(u) The Company and the Guarantors shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Notes to be listed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company and the Guarantors are then listed if requested by the Majority Holders, to the extent such Notes satisfy applicable listing requirements.

5. Registration Expenses; Remedies.

(a) The Company and the Guarantors shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof, including without limitation: (i) all Commission, stock exchange or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with compliance with state securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any underwriters or Holders in connection with blue sky qualification of any of the Initial Notes and Guarantees or Exchange Notes and Exchange Guarantees), (iii) all expenses of any persons in preparing or assisting in preparing, word processing, printing and distributing any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto, any underwriting agreements, securities sales agreements and other documents relating to the performance of and compliance with this Agreement, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Trustee and its counsel, (v) the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Holders (which counsel shall be selected by the Majority Holders and which counsel may also be counsel for the Initial Purchasers) and, in the case of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the fees and expenses of counsel to the Initial Purchasers acting in connection therewith and (vii) the fees and disbursements of the independent public accountants of the Company, including the expenses of any special audits or “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance, but excluding fees and expenses of counsel to the underwriters or the Holders (other than fees and expenses set forth in clauses (ii) and (v) above) and underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of Notes by a Holder.

(b) If any of the following occurs:

(i) the Company and the Guarantors fail to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement on or prior to the Exchange Offer Filing Deadline or the Shelf Registration Statement on or prior to the Shelf Filing Deadline, as the case may be, or, if that day is not a Business Day, then the next day that is a Business Day;

(ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Exchange Offer Effectiveness Deadline or the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline, respectively, or, if that day is not a Business Day, then the next day that is a Business Day;

(iii) the Company and the Guarantors fail to consummate the Exchange Offer by the Exchange Offer Consummation Deadline; or

(iv) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified in this Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) above, a “Registration Default”),

then the Company and the Guarantors will pay additional interest (“Additional Interest”) to each Holder of Notes, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder. The amount of the Additional Interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of Notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of Additional Interest for all Registration Defaults of 1.00% per annum.

(c) The Company and the Guarantors shall pay all accrued Additional Interest on each Damages Payment Date to the Global Note Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds or by federal funds check and to Holders of Certificated Notes by wire transfer to the accounts specified by them or by mailing checks to their registered addresses if no such accounts have been specified.

(d) Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of Additional Interest will cease.

(e) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure by them to comply with their obligations under Sections 2 and 3 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Sections 2 and 3 hereof.

(f) Upon the occurrence of a Registration Default, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the occurrence thereof and, prior to the relevant Damages Payment Date, shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Additional Interest that shall be due and payable on the Notes.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) In connection with any Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Notes covered thereby (including the Initial Purchasers, the Market Maker and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated by Sections 2(e) and 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer) the directors, officers, employees and Affiliates of such Holder and each person who controls such Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, and as incurred, all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to such Holder), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the 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 any Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expenses; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of any such indemnified party specifically for inclusion therein; provided further, however, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any case with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or action in respect thereof) resulted from the fact that any indemnified party sold Notes to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, if the Company and the Guarantors had previously complied with the provisions of Section 4(c)(2) and 4(f) or 4(h) hereof and if the untrue statement contained in or omission from such preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have.

The Company and the Guarantors also agree to indemnify or contribute to Losses of, as provided in Section 6(d) hereof, any underwriters of Notes registered under a Shelf Registration Statement, their employees, officers, directors and Affiliates and each person who controls such underwriters on the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders provided in this Section 6(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 4(s) hereof

(b) Each Holder of Notes covered by a Registration Statement (including the Initial Purchasers and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated by Sections 2(e) and 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer) severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company and the Guarantors, (ii) each of the directors of the Company or any of the Guarantors,

(iii) each of the officers of the Company or any of the Guarantors who signs such Registration Statement and (iv) each Person who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to each such Holder, but only with respect to written information furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any such Holder may otherwise have.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or commencement of that action; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After receipt of 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 reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party in writing, or (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified party to employ separate counsel or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. An indemnifying party will not, (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unnecessarily withheld) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding or (ii) 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 the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final and non-appealable judgment of 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.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Registration Statement that resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case shall the Initial Purchasers or any subsequent Holder of any Note be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to such Note, or in the case of an Exchange Note, applicable to the Initial Note that was exchangeable into such Exchange Note, as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Memorandum, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Notes purchased by such underwriter under the Registration Statement that resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Memorandum. Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Offering Memorandum, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving Initial Notes or Exchange Notes, as applicable, registered under the Securities Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement that resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that did not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), 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. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and Affiliate of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company or any of the Guarantors who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

(e) The provisions of this Section 6 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder, the Company or any of the Guarantors or

any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 6 hereof, and will survive the sale by a Holder of Notes covered by a Registration Statement.

7. Rule 144A.

The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, if applicable, in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A.

8. Participation In Underwritten Registrations.

No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

9. Selection Of Underwriters.

The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such 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 the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, that such investment bankers and managers must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Guarantors.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) No Inconsistent Agreement. Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors has, as of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall any of them, on or after the date hereof, enter into, any agreement that conflicts with the rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

(b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company and the Guarantors have obtained the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes (or, after the expiration of any Exchange Offer in accordance with Section 2 hereof, of Exchange Notes); provided that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of the Initial Purchasers hereunder, the Company and the Guarantors shall obtain the written consent of the Initial Purchasers. Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing proviso), a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Initial 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 the Majority Holders, determined on the basis of Notes being sold rather than registered under such Registration Statement.

(c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

(iii) if to the Company and the Guarantors, shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the Company, 00000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, (Fax: (000) 000-0000), with a copy to Xxxxx & Lardner LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx (Fax: (000) 000-0000);

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received. The Initial Purchasers, on the one hand, or the Company and the Guarantors, on the other, by notice to the other party or parties may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company and the Guarantors thereto, subsequent Holders of Initial Notes and/or Exchange Notes. The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Initial Notes and/or Exchange Notes and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.

(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

(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) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in

any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(i) Initial Notes Held by the Company, Etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes or Exchange Notes is required hereunder, Initial Notes or Exchange Notes, as applicable, held by the Company and the Guarantors or their Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Initial Notes or Exchange Notes if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Initial Notes or Exchange Notes) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

(j) Authority of the Representatives. Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by the Representatives on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by the Representatives shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.
