(a) The Issuers shall file with the SEC, to the extent

of the SEC no later than the Filing Date, a Registration Statement on an
appropriate registration form (the "Exchange Offer Registration Statement") with
respect to a registered offer (the "Exchange Offer") to exchange any and all of
the Registrable Securities (other than the Private Exchange Securities, if any)
for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the Company that are
identical in all material respects to the Securities ( the "Exchange Notes" and,
together with the guarantees thereon, the "Exchange Securities") (and that are
entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or a trust indenture that is identical
in all material respects to the Indenture (other than such changes to the
Indenture or any such identical trust indenture as are necessary to comply with
any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualification thereof
under the TIA) and that, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA),
except that the Exchange Securities (other than Private Exchange Securities, if
any) shall have been registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement
under the Securities Act and shall contain no restrictive legend thereon. The
Exchange Offer shall comply with all applicable tender offer rules and
regulations under the Exchange Act. The Issuers agree to use their reasonable
best efforts to (x) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be
declared effective under the Securities Act on or before the Effectiveness Date;
(y) keep the Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer if
required by applicable law) after the date that notice of the Exchange Offer is
mailed to Holders; and (z) consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to the
240th day following the Issue Date. If after such Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Exchange Offer or the issuance
of the Exchange Securities thereunder is interfered with by any stop order,
injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental
agency or court, such Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed not
to have become effective for purposes of this Agreement during the period of
such interference until the Exchange Offer may legally resume.
Each Holder who participates in the Exchange Offer will be
required to represent in writing (i) that any Exchange Securities received by it
will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) at the time of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder will have no arrangement or
understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange
Securities in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) that such
Holder is not an affiliate of the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning
of the Securities Act and is not acting on behalf of any persons or entities who
could not truthfully make
-6-
the foregoing representations, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that
is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of
Exchange Securities, and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer that will receive
Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities that were
acquires as a result of market-making or other trading activities, that it will
deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.
Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with
this Section 2, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply,
mutatis mutandis, solely with respect to Registrable Securities that are Private
Exchange Securities and Exchange Securities held by Participating
Broker-Dealers, and the Company shall have no further obligation to register
Registrable Securities (other than Private Exchange Securities and other than in
respect of any Exchange Securities as to which clause 2(c)(v) hereof applies)
pursuant to Section 3 hereof. No securities other than the Exchange Securities
shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.
(b) The Issuers shall include within the Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a section entitled "Plan
of Distribution," reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers, that shall
contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the Staff
of the SEC with respect to the potential "underwriter" status of any
broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act) of Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in the
Exchange Offer (a "Participating Broker-Dealer"), whether such positions or
policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such
positions or policies, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers, represent the
prevailing views of the staff of the SEC. Such "Plan of Distribution" section
shall also expressly permit, to the extent permitted by applicable policies and
regulations of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including to the extent
permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, all Participating
Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the means by which
Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Securities in compliance
with the Securities Act.
The Issuers shall use their respective 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 lawfully delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as is necessary to
comply with applicable law in connection with any resale of the Exchange
Securities covered thereby.
If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, any Initial
Purchaser holds any Securities acquired by it and having, or that are reasonably
likely to be determined to have, the status of an unsold allotment in the
initial distribution, the Issuers, upon the request
-7-
of such Initial Purchaser simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange
Securities in the Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to such Initial
Purchaser in exchange (the "Private Exchange") for such Securities held by such
Initial Purchaser a like principal amount of debt securities of the Issuers that
are identical in all material respects to the Exchange Securities (the "Private
Exchange Notes" and, together with the guarantees thereon, the "Private Exchange
Securities") (and that are issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Exchange
Securities), except for the placement of a restrictive legend on such Private
Exchange Securities. The Private Exchange Securities shall bear the same CUSIP
number as the Exchange Securities.
Interest on each Exchange Note will accrue (A) from the later
of (i) the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Note
surrendered in exchange therefor, or (ii) if the Note is surrendered for
exchange on a date in a period which includes the record date for an interest
payment date to occur on or after the date of such exchange and as to which
interest will be paid, the date of such interest payment date or (B) if no
interest has been paid on such Note, from the Issue Date.
In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers shall:
(1) 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;
(2) utilize the services of a depositary for the Exchange
Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York;
(3) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any
time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last
business day on which the Exchange Offer shall remain open; and
(4) otherwise comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations.
As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer
or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Issuers shall:
(1) accept for exchange all Registrable Securities
properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange
Offer or the Private Exchange;
(2) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all
Registrable Securities so accepted for exchange; and
-8-
(3) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver
promptly to each Holder of Securities, Exchange Securities or Private
Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to
the Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.
The Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities
may be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical in all
material respects to the Indenture, which in either event has been qualified
under the TIA or is exempt from such qualification and shall provide that (1)
the Exchange Securities shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions set
forth in the Indenture and (2) the Private Exchange Securities shall be subject
to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture or such
indenture shall provide that the Exchange Securities, the Private Exchange
Securities and the Securities shall vote and consent together on all matters as
one class and that none of the Exchange Securities, the Private Exchange
Securities or the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a
separate class on any matter.
(c) If, (i) because of any change in law or in currently
prevailing interpretations of the Staff of the SEC, the Issuers are not
permitted to effect an Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not
consummated within 240 days of the Issue Date (provided that if the Exchange
Offer shall be consummated after such 240-day period, then the Issuers'
obligation under this clause (ii) arising from the failure of the Exchange Offer
to be consummated within such 240-day period shall terminate), (iii) the holder
of Private Exchange Securities so requests at any time within 90 days after the
consummation of the Private Exchange, (iv) because of any changes in law or in
currently prevailing interpretations of the staff of the SEC, a Holder (other
than an Initial Purchaser holding Securities acquired directly from the Issuers)
is not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer or (v) in the case of any
Holder that participates in the Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive
Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange that may be sold without
restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to
the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Company or any of the
Guarantors within the meaning of the Securities Act), then the Company shall
promptly deliver written notice thereof (the "Shelf Notice") to the Trustee and
in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iv), all Holders, in the case of clause
(iii), the Holders of the Private Exchange Securities and in the case of clause
(v), the affected Holder, and shall file a Shelf Registration pursuant to
Section 3 hereof.
3. SHELF REGISTRATION
If a Shelf Notice is delivered as contemplated by Section 2(c)
hereof, then:
(a) Shelf Registration. The Issuers shall file with the
SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous
basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities
not exchanged in the Exchange Offer, Private Exchange Notes and
Exchange Notes as to which Section 2(c)(iv) is applicable (the "Shelf
Registration"). The Issuers shall use their respective reasonable best
efforts to
-9-
file with the SEC the Shelf Registration on or prior to the applicable
Filing Date. The Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-1 or another
appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Securities
for resale by Holders in the manner or manners designated by them
(including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings).
The Issuers shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable
Securities to be included in the Shelf Registration.
The Issuers shall use their respective reasonable best efforts
to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the
Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Date and to keep the
Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act
until the date that is two years from the Issue Date or such shorter
period ending when all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf
Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated
in the Shelf Registration or cease to be outstanding (the
"Effectiveness Period"); provided, however, that the Effectiveness
Period in respect of the Shelf Registration shall be extended to the
extent required to permit dealers to comply with the applicable
prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the Securities Act
and as otherwise provided herein.
(b) Withdrawal of Stop Orders. If the Shelf Registration
ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the
Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the
securities registered thereunder), the Issuers shall use their
reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness thereof.
(c) Supplements and Amendments. The Issuers shall
promptly supplement and amend the Shelf Registration if required by the
rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form
used for such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or
if reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement or by any underwriter of such Registrable
Securities.
4. ADDITIONAL INTEREST
(a) The Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that the
Holders of Registrable Securities will suffer damages if the Issuers fail to
fulfill their respective obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and
that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with
precision. Accordingly, the Issuers agree to pay, as liquidated damages,
additional interest on the Securities ("Additional Interest") under the
circumstances and to the extent set forth below (without duplication):
(i) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement nor the Shelf Registration has been filed on or prior to the
applicable Filing Date or (B) notwithstanding that the Issuers have
consummated or will consummate the Exchange Offer,
-10-
the Issuers are required to file a Shelf Registration and such Shelf
Registration is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date applicable
thereto, then, commencing on the day after any such Filing Date,
Additional Interest shall accrue on the Securities over and above the
stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days
immediately following the Filing Date, such Additional Interest rate
increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each
subsequent 90-day period;
(ii) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration is declared effective by
the SEC on or prior to 210 days after the Issue Date or (B)
notwithstanding that the Issuers have consummated or will consummate
the Exchange Offer, the Issuers are required to file a Shelf
Registration and such Shelf Registration is not declared effective by
the SEC on or prior to the 90th day following the date such Shelf
Registration was filed, then, commencing on the day after such required
effective date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal
amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days
immediately following each such filing date, such Additional Interest
rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of
each subsequent 90-day period; and
(iii) if either (A) the Issuers have not exchanged Exchange
Notes for all Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of
the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 45th day after the date on which
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective or (B)
if applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and
such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time prior to the
second anniversary of the Issue Date (other than after such time as all
Notes have been disposed of thereunder), then Additional Interest shall
accrue on the principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.25% per
annum for the first 90 days commencing on (x) the 46th day after such
effective date, in the case of (A) above, or (y) the day such Shelf
Registration ceases to be effective, in the case of (B) above, such
Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at
the beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period;
provided, however, that the Additional Interest rate on the Securities may not
accrue under more than one of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) of this
Section 4(a) at the same time and at no time shall the aggregate amount of
Additional Interest accruing exceed at any one time in the aggregate 1.0% per
annum; and provided, further, that (1) upon the filing of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration (in the case of clause (i) of
this Section 4(a)), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration (in the case of clause (ii) of
this Section 4(a)), or (3) upon the exchange of Exchange Securities for all
Securities tendered (in the case of clause (iii)(A) of this Section 4(a)), or
upon the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration that had ceased to
remain effective (in the case of (iii)(B) of this Section 4(a)), Additional
Interest on the Securi-
-11-
ties as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof), as the case
may be, shall cease to accrue.
(b) The Issuers shall notify the Trustee within three
business days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of
which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an "Event Date"). Any amounts
of Additional Interest due pursuant to (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this
Section 4 will be payable in cash semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15
(to the holders of record on the April 1 and October 1 immediately preceding
such dates), commencing with the first such date occurring after any such
Additional Interest commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest will
be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the
principal amount of the Registrable Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was
applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the
actual number of days elapsed) and the denominator of which is 360.
5. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement
pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the Issuers shall effect such registrations
to permit the sale of the securities covered thereby in accordance with the
intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in
connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Issuers hereunder, the
Issuers shall:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC prior to the Filing
Date, a Registration Statement or Registration Statements as prescribed
by Sections 2 or 3 hereof, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause
each such Registration Statement to become effective and remain

filing is pursuant to Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in
an Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any
Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities
during the Applicable Period, before filing any Registration Statement
or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Issuers
shall furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement or each such Participating
Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel and the managing
underwriters, if any, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all
such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by
reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in
each case at least three business days prior to such filing). The
Issuers shall not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto if the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement, or any such Participating Broker-Dealer,
as the case may be,
-12-
or their counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall
reasonably object on a timely basis.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration or Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to keep
such Registration Statement continuously effective for the
Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be;

supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force)
promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply in all material
respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities
covered by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such
Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale
of any securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer covered
by any such Prospectus; the Issuers shall be deemed not to have used
their respective reasonable best efforts to keep a Registration
Statement effective during the Applicable Period if each of the Issuers
voluntarily takes any action that would result in selling Holders of
the Registrable Securities covered thereby or Participating
Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange Securities not being able to
sell such Registrable Securities or such Exchange Securities during
that period, unless such action is required by applicable law or unless
the Issuers comply in all material respects with this Agreement,
including without limitation, the provisions of paragraph 5(k) hereof
and the last paragraph of this Section 5.
(c) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to
Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required
to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating
Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the
Applicable Period, the Company shall notify the selling Holders of
Registrable Securities, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as
the case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any,
promptly (but in any event within two business days) and confirm such
notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same
has become effective under the Securities Act (including in such notice
a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, at the
sole expense of the Issuers, one conformed copy of such Registration
Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements
and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of
any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary
prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii)
if at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to
be delivered in con-
-13-
nection with sales of the Registrable Securities or resales of Exchange
Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers the representations and
warranties of the Issuers contained in any agreement (including any
underwriting agreement), contemplated by Section 5(n) hereof cease to
be true and correct, (iv) of the receipt by the Issuers of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or
exemption from qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the
Registrable Securities or the Exchange Securities to be sold by any
Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or
the initiation or written threat of any proceeding for such purpose,
(v) of the happening of any event, the existence of any condition or
any information becoming known that makes any statement made in such
Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue
in any material respects or that requires the making of any material
changes in or amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement,
Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration
Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in
the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
and (vi) of the Issuers' determination that a post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
(d) Use their respective reasonable best efforts to
prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a
Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use
of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from
qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities or the Exchange
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if any such order is
issued, to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal
of any such order at the earliest possible moment.
(e) If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section
3 and if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any,
or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten
offering, (i) promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter
or underwriters, if any, such Holders or counsel for any of them
determine is reasonably necessary to be included therein, (ii) make all
required filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective
amendment as soon as practicable after the Issuers have received
notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment and (iii) supplement or make
amendments to such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the
Issuers shall not be required to take any
-14-
action pursuant to this Section 5(e) that would, in the opinion of
counsel for the Issuers, violate applicable law.
(f) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to
Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required
to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating
Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the
Applicable Period, furnish to each selling Holder of Registrable
Securities and to each such Participating Broker-Dealer who so requests
and to their respective counsel and each managing underwriter, if any,
at the sole expense of the Issuers, one conformed copy of the
Registration Statement or Registration Statements and each
post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules and, if requested, all documents incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits.
(g) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to
Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required
to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating
Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the
Applicable Period, deliver to each selling Holder of Registrable
Securities, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may
be, their respective counsel and the underwriters, if any, at the sole
expense of the Issuers, as many copies of the Prospectus or
Prospectuses (including each form of preliminary prospectus) and each
amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by
reference therein as such Persons may reasonably request; and, subject
to the last paragraph of this Section 5, the Issuers hereby consent to
the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by
each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities or each such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the underwriters
or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the offering
and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by, or the sale by
Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Securities pursuant to,
such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable
Securities or Exchange Securities or any delivery of a Prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by any
Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities
during the Applicable Period, to use their reasonable best efforts to
register or qualify and to cooperate with the selling Holders of
Registrable Securities or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the
case may be, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and
their respective counsel in connection with the registration or
qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of
such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any
selling Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer or the managing underwriter
or underwriters reasonably request in writing; provided, however, that
-15-
where Exchange Securities held by Participating Broker-Dealers or
Registrable Securities are offered other than through an underwritten
offering, the Issuers agree to cause their counsel to perform Blue Sky
investigations and file registrations and qualifications required to be
filed pursuant to this Section 5(h); use their reasonable best efforts
to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption
therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is
required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Exchange Securities held by Participating
Broker-Dealers or the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable
Registration Statement; provided, however, that none of the Issuers
shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any action
that would subject it to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to
taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(i) If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section
3 hereof, cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities
and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates shall not bear
any restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit
with The Depository Trust Company; and enable such Registrable
Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as
the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holders may
reasonably request.
(j) Use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause
the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders thereof or the
underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of
such Registrable Securities, except as may be required solely as a
consequence of the nature of such selling Holder's business, in which
case the Issuers will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the
filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such
approvals.
(k) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to
Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required
to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating
Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the
Applicable Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
paragraph 5(c)(v) or 5(c)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable,
prepare and (subject to Section 5(a) hereof) file with the SEC, at the
Issuers' sole expense, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference, or file any other
-16-
required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of
the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder or to the purchasers
of the Exchange Securities to whom such Prospectus will be delivered by
a Participating Broker-Dealer, any such Prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.
(l) Use its respective reasonable best efforts to cause
the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement or the
Exchange Securities, as the case may be, to be rated with the
appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement or the Exchange Securities, as
the case may be, or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any.
(m) Prior to the effective date of the first Registration
Statement relating to the Registrable Securities, (i) provide the
Trustee with certificates for the Registrable Securities or Exchange
Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with
Euroclear and Clearstream and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the
Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be.
(n) In connection with any underwritten offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration, enter into an
underwriting agreement as is customary in underwritten offerings of
debt securities similar to the Securities and take all such other
actions as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the
disposition of such Registrable Securities and, in such connection, (i)
make such representations and warranties to, and covenants with, the
underwriters with respect to the business of the Issuers and their
subsidiaries (including any acquired business, properties or entity, if
applicable) and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents,
if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein,
in each case, as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in
underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities,
and confirm the same in writing if and when requested; (ii) obtain the
written opinion of counsel to the Issuers and written updates thereof
in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing
underwriter or underwriters, addressed to the underwriters covering the
matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten
offerings of debt similar to the Securities and such other matters as
may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters; (iii) obtain "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof
in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing
underwriter or underwriters from the independent certified public
accountants of the Issuers (and, if necessary, any other independent
certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Issuers or of any
business acquired by the Issuers for which financial statements and
financial data are, or are re-
-17-
quired to be, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters, such letters to be
in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered
in "cold comfort" letters in connection with underwritten offerings of
debt securities similar to the Securities and such other matters as
reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters; and
(iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall
contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable
than those set forth in Section 7 hereof (or such other provisions and
procedures acceptable to Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
and the managing underwriter or underwriters or agents) with respect to
all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section. The above shall
be done at each closing under such underwriting agreement, or as and to
the extent required thereunder.
(o) If (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to
Section 3 hereof or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 hereof is required
to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating
Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Securities during the
Applicable Period, upon reasonable advance notice make available for
inspection by any selling Holder of such Registrable Securities being
sold, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, any
underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable
Securities, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by any such selling Holder or each such Participating
Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or underwriter (collectively, the
"Inspectors"), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable
business hours without interfering in the orderly business of the
Issuers, all financial and other relevant records, pertinent corporate
documents and instruments of the Issuers and their subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Records") as shall be reasonably necessary to
enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence responsibilities,
and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the
Issuers and their subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably
requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration
Statement. Any such access granted to the Inspectors under this Section
5(o) shall be subject to the prior receipt by the Issuers of written
undertakings, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuers, to preserve the confidentiality of any information deemed by
the Issuers to be confidential. Records that the Issuers determine, in
good faith, to be confidential and any Records that they notify the
Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors
unless (i) the Issuers based upon advice of counsel determine that
disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a material
misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement, (ii) the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other
order from a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) after giving
reasonable prior notice to the Company, disclosure of such information
is, in the opinion of counsel for any Inspector, necessary or advisable
in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or
indirectly, involving or potentially involving such
-18-
Inspector and arising out of, based upon, relating to or involving this
Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby or arising hereunder
or (iv) the information in such Records has been made generally
available to the public. Each selling Holder of such Registrable
Securities and each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required
to agree that information obtained by it as a result of such
inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as
the basis for any market transactions in the securities of the Company
unless and until such information is generally available to the public.
Each selling Holder of such Registrable Securities and each such
Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further agree that it
will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a
court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow
the Company to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of
the Records deemed confidential at the Issuers' sole expense.
(p) Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable
Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and cause
the Indenture or the trust indenture provided for in Section 2(a)
hereof, as the case may be, to be qualified under the TIA not later
than the effective date of the Exchange Offer or the first Registration
Statement relating to the Registrable Securities; and in connection
therewith, cooperate with the trustee under any such indenture and the
Holders of the Registrable Securities, to effect such changes to such
indenture as may be required for such indenture to be so qualified in
accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use its
reasonable best efforts to cause such trustee to execute, all documents
as may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and
documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable such indenture to
be so qualified in a timely manner.
(q) Comply in all material respects with all applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its
securityholders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar
rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45 days after
the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any
12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the
end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to
underwriters in a firm commitment or reasonable best efforts
underwritten offering and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an
offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of
the Issuers after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which
statements shall cover said 12-month periods.
(r) Upon consummation of an Exchange Offer or a Private
Exchange, obtain an opinion of counsel to the Issuers, who may, at the
Issuers' election, be internal counsel to the Issuers, in a form
customary for underwritten transactions, addressed to the Trustee for
the benefit of all Holders of Registrable Securities participating in
the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, that
the Exchange Secu-
-19-
rities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and the
related indenture constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of
the Issuers, enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with its
respective terms, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications.
(s) If an Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be
consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable Securities by Holders to
the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in
exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange
Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall xxxx, or cause to be
marked, on such Registrable Securities that such Registrable Securities
are being cancelled in exchange for the Exchange Securities or the
Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event shall such
Registrable Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.
(t) Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities
covered by any Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any,
participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and
their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be
made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD").
(u) Use their respective reasonable best efforts to take
all other steps necessary or advisable to effect the registration of
the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement
contemplated hereby.
The Issuers may require each seller of Registrable Securities
as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Issuers such
information regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable
Securities as the Issuers may, from time to time, reasonably request. The
Issuers may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any
seller who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable
time after receiving such request and in such event shall have no further
obligation under this Agreement (including, without limitation, obligations
under Section 4 hereof) with respect to such seller or any subsequent holder of
such Registrable Securities. Each seller as to which any Shelf Registration is
being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Issuers all information
required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished
to the Issuers by such seller not materially misleading.
Each Holder of Registrable Securities and each Participating
Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities or Exchange
Securities to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be,
that, upon actual receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Sections 5(c)(ii), 5(c)(iv), 5(c)(v) or 5(c)(vi)
hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus or Exchange
Securities to be sold by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case
may be, until such
-20-
Holder's or Participating Broker-Dealer's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(k) hereof, or until
it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the
applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments
or supplements thereto. During any such discontinuance, no Additional Interest
shall accrue or otherwise be payable on the Registrable Securities. In the event
that the Company shall give any such notice, each of the Effectiveness Period
and the Applicable Period shall be extended by the number of days during such
periods from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and
including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement or Exchange Securities to be sold by such Participating
Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, shall have received (x) the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(k) hereof or (y)
the Advice.
6. REGISTRATION EXPENSES
(a) All fees and expenses incident to the performance of
or compliance with this Agreement by the Issuers shall be borne by the Issuers
whether or not the Exchange Offer or a Shelf Registration is filed or becomes

made with the NASD in connection with an underwritten offering and (B) fees and

a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities included
in any Registration Statement or sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer, as the

(b) The Issuers shall reimburse the Holders of the
Registrable Securities being registered in a Shelf Registration for the
reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel chosen by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable
Securities to be included in such Registration Statement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) Each of the Issuers agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities offered pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange
Securities during the Applicable Period, the officers and directors of each such
Person or its affiliates, and each other Person, if any, who controls any such
Person or its affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a "Participant"), from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including,
without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and other expenses actually
incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim
asserted) caused by, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration
Statement pursuant to which the offering of such Registrable Securities or
Exchange Securities, as the case may be, is registered (or any amendment
thereto) or related Prospectus (or any amendments or supplements thereto) or any
related preliminary prospectus, or caused by, arising out of or based upon any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that none of the Issuers will be required to indemnify a Participant if (i) such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information relating to any Participant furnished to the Company
in writing by or on behalf of such Participant expressly for use therein or (ii)
if such Participant sold to the person asserting the claim the Registrable
Securities or Exchange Securities that are the subject of such claim and such
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was
contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and corrected in the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto and the Prospectus does not contain any
other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a
material fact that was the subject matter of the related proceeding and it is
established by the Company in the related proceeding that such Participant
failed to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus
-22-
(as amended or supplemented) to such Person with or prior to the confirmation of
the sale of such Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities sold to such
Person if required by applicable law, unless such failure to deliver or provide
a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of
noncompliance by the Company with Section 5 of this Agreement.
(b) Each Participant agrees, severally and not jointly,
to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of the Guarantors, the
Company's directors and officers, each Guarantor's directors and officers and
each Person who controls the Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Participant, but only (i) with
reference to information relating to such Participant furnished to the Company
in writing by or on behalf of such Participant expressly for use in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any
preliminary prospectus or (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or
representation made by such Participant in writing to the Company. The liability
of any Participant under this paragraph shall in no event exceed the proceeds
received by such Participant from sales of Registrable Securities or Exchange
Securities giving rise to such obligations.
(c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any
governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or
asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant
to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such Person (the "Indemnified
Person") shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be
sought (the "Indemnifying Person") in writing, and the Indemnifying Person, upon
request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the
Indemnifying Person may reasonably designate in such proceeding and shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred by such counsel related to
such proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the
Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it of any obligation or liability that it
may have hereunder or otherwise (unless and only to the extent that such failure
directly results in the loss or compromise of any material rights or defenses by
the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnifying Person was not otherwise aware of
such action or claim). In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have
the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying
Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed in writing to the
contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall have failed within a reasonable
period of time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified
Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood that, unless there exists a conflict among Indemnified Persons, the
Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any one such proceeding or
separate but substantially similar related pro-
-23-
ceeding in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations, be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to
any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and
expenses shall be reimbursed promptly as they are incurred. Any such separate
firm for the Participants and such control Persons of Participants shall be
designated in writing by Participants who sold a majority in interest of
Registrable Securities and Exchange Securities sold by all such Participants and
any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers and such
control Persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company.
The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its prior written consent, but if settled with such consent or
if there be a final non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff for which the
Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement,
the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a
party, and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional written release of
such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to an admission of
fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in the first and
second paragraphs of this Section 7 is for any reason unavailable to, or
insufficient to hold harmless, an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying
Person under such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person
thereunder and in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Person or Persons
on the one hand and the Indemnified Person or Persons on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof). The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Issuers on the one hand or such Participant or such
other Indemnified Person, as the case may be, on the other, the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations
appropriate in the circumstances.
-24-
(e) The parties agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the Participants were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any reasonable legal or other expenses actually incurred by such
Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action
or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall a
Participant be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which proceeds received by such Participant from sales of Registrable Securities
or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, exceeds the amount of any damages
that such Participant has otherwise been required to pay or has paid by reason
of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No
Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained
in this Section 7 will be in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying
Persons may otherwise have to the Indemnified Persons referred to above.
8. RULE 144 AND 144A
The Issuers covenant that they will file the reports required
to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder in a timely manner in accordance
with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and, if at any
time the Issuers not required to file such reports, they will, upon the request
of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available annual reports
and such information, documents and other reports of the type specified in
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Issuers further covenant for so
long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, to make available to any
Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Registrable Securities from such
Holder or beneficial owner the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the
Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Registrable Securities
pursuant to Rule 144A.
9. UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS
If any of the Registrable Securities covered by any Shelf
Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker
or investment bankers and manager or managers that will manage the offering will
be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such
Registrable Securities included in such offering and reasonably acceptable to
the Issuers.
-25-
No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any
underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such
Holder's Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such
arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuers have not
entered into, as of the date hereof, and shall not, after the date of this
Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to any of the Company's
securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of
Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof. The Issuers have not entered and will not enter into any
agreement with respect to any of the Company's securities that will grant to any
Person piggy-back registration rights with respect to a Registration Statement.
(b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The
Issuers shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with respect to the
Registrable Securities as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the
Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a
registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this
Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents
to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of
Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair,
limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of Registrable Securities may be
given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration
Statement; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be
amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of
the immediately preceding sentence.
