        interpretation of the staff of the SEC, to participate in the Exchange
        Offer, the Company shall, at its cost:

                                (A)     as promptly as practicable, but no later
                than the 30th calendar day after such filing obligation arises,
                use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a Shelf
                Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the
                Registrable Securities by the Holders from time to time in
                accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the
                Majority Holders of such Registrable Securities and set forth in
                such Shelf Registration Statement;

                                (B)     use commercially reasonable efforts to
                cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective
                by the SEC as promptly as practicable; provided that, with
                respect to Exchange Securities received by a broker-dealer in
                exchange for any securities that were acquired by such
                broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading
                activities, the Company may, if permitted by current
                interpretations by the staff of the SEC, file a post-effective
                amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
                containing the

                                        7

<PAGE>

                information required by Regulation S-K Items 507 and/or 508, as
                applicable, in satisfaction of its obligations under paragraph
                (A) solely with respect to broker-dealers who acquired their
                Securities as a result of market-making or other trading
                activities, 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. In the event that the Company is required to file a
                Shelf Registration Statement upon the request of any Holder
                (other than an Initial Purchaser) not eligible to participate in
                the Exchange Offer pursuant to clause (iii) above or upon the
                request of any Initial Purchaser pursuant to clause (iv) above,
                the Company shall file and use commercially reasonable efforts
                to have declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer
                Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to
                all Registrable Securities and a Shelf Registration Statement
                (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the
                Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers
                and sales of Registrable Securities held by such Holder or such
                Initial Purchaser, as applicable, after completion of the
                Exchange Offer;

                                (C)     use commercially reasonable efforts to
                keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective,
                supplemented and amended as required, in order to permit the
                Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a
                period of two years, plus any extensions as provided in Section
                2(d)(iii) below, after its effective date or such shorter period
                which will terminate when all of the Registrable Securities
                covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold
                pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) cease to be
                outstanding or (iii) become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule
                144 under the Exchange Act without volume restrictions; and

                                (D)     notwithstanding any other provisions
                hereof, ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration Statement and any
                amendment thereto and any Prospectus forming a part thereof and
                any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with
                the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
                (ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
                does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement
                of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
                be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
                not misleading and (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any
                Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to such
                Prospectus (as amended or supplemented from time to time), does
                not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
                state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements,
                in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
                misleading; provided, however, clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not
                apply to any information relating to any Initial Purchaser or
                any Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial
                Purchaser or Holder expressly for use in the Shelf Registration
                Statement.

        The Company shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable
Securities to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement.

                                        8

<PAGE>

        The Company further agrees, if necessary, to supplement or amend the
Shelf Registration Statement if reasonably requested by the Majority Holders
with respect to information relating to the Holders and otherwise as required by
Section 3(b) below, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such
amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement to become
usable as soon as practicable thereafter and to furnish to the Holders of
Registrable Securities copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after
its being used or filed with the SEC.

                (c)     Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration
        Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Sections 2(a)
        and 2(b) and, in the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, will
        reimburse the Holders or the Initial Purchasers for the reasonable fees
        and disbursements of one counsel designated in writing by the Majority
        Holders to act as counsel for the Holders of the Registrable Securities
        in connection therewith; provided that, upon the request of the Company,
        the Holders or the Initial Purchasers provide the Company with
        reasonable documentation evidencing such fees and disbursements. Each
        Holder shall pay all expenses of its counsel other than as set forth in
        the preceding sentence, underwriting discounts and commissions and
        transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such
        Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration
        Statement.

                (d)     Effective Registration Statement.

                        (i)     The Company shall be deemed not to have used
                commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer
                Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as
                the case may be, to become, or to remain, effective during the
                requisite periods set forth herein if the Company voluntarily
                takes any action that could reasonably be expected to result in
                any such Registration Statement not being declared effective or
                remaining effective or in the Holders of Registrable Securities
                covered thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell
                such Registrable Securities during that period unless (A) such
                action is required by applicable law or (B) such action is taken
                by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (but
                not including avoidance of the Company's obligations hereunder),
                including the acquisition or divestiture of assets or a material
                corporate transaction or event so long as the Company promptly
                complies with the requirements of Section 3(k) hereof, if
                applicable.

                        (ii)    An Exchange Offer Registration Statement
                pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration
                Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof shall not be deemed to
                have become effective unless it has been declared effective by
                the SEC; provided, however, that if, after it has been declared
                effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
                Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order,
                injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other
                governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement shall
                be deemed not to have been effective during the period of such
                interference, until the offering of Registrable Securities
                pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume.

                        (iii)   During any 365-day period, the Company may
                suspend the availability of a Shelf Registration Statement and
                the use of the related Prospectus, as provided in Section
                3(e)(vi) and the last paragraph of Section 3 hereof (a "Material
                Event Election"), for up to 4 periods of up to 45 consecutive
                days (except for the consecutive 45-day period immediately prior
                to maturity of the Securities), but no more than an aggregate of
                90 days during any 365-day period, if any event shall occur (A)
                as set forth in Section 2(d)(i) or (B) as a result of which it
                shall be necessary, in the good faith determination of the board
                of directors of the Company, to amend the Shelf Registration
                Statement or amend or supplement any prospectus or prospectus
                supplement thereunder in order that each such document not
                include any untrue statement of fact or omit to state a material
                fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
                light of the circumstances under which they were made, provided
                that any period during which the Company requires Holders to
                refrain from disposing of their Registrable Securities due to a
                Material Event Election (an "Election Period") shall be deemed
                to trigger the obligation of the Company to pay additional
                interest in accordance with Section 2(e) to the extent that such
                Election Period, together with all other days that the Shelf
                Registration Statement has become unusable in any consecutive
                twelve-month period, exceeds 90 days in the aggregate. The
                Two-Year Period provided for in Section 2(b)(i)(C) above shall
                be extended by an amount of time equal to all such Election
                Periods.

                (e)     Increase in Interest Rate. In the event that (i) the
        Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or
        prior to the 90th calendar day after the Closing Date, (ii) the Exchange
        Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to
        the 150th calendar day after the Closing Date, (iii) the Exchange Offer
        is not consummated on or prior to the 200th calendar day following the
        Closing Date, or (iv) if required, a Shelf Registration Statement with
        respect to the Registrable Securities is not declared effective on or
        prior to the 200th calendar day after the Closing Date, or (v) the
        Election Periods exceed, in the aggregate, 90 days during any 365-day
        period (each, a "Registration Default"), the per annum interest rate
        borne by the Registrable Securities affected thereby shall be increased
        by one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum following a Registration
        Default; provided that the maximum aggregate additional interest with
        respect to a series may in no event exceed one-quarter of one percent
        (0.25%) per annum. Upon (w) the filing of the Exchange Offer
        Registration Statement after the 90-day period described in clause (i)
        above, (x) the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
        Statement after the 150-day period described in clause (ii) above, (y)
        the consummation of the Exchange Offer after the 200-day period
        described in clause (iii) above, or (z) the effectiveness of a Shelf
        Registration Statement, after the 200-day period described in clause
        (iv) above, the interest rate borne by such series of Registrable
        Securities from the date of such filing, effectiveness or consummation,
        as the case may be, shall be reduced to the original interest rate if
        the Company is otherwise in compliance with this paragraph; provided,
        however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different
        Registration Default occurs, the interest rate shall again be increased
        pursuant to the foregoing provisions. No increase in the rate under
        clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be payable for any period during
        which a Shelf Registration is effective.

                (f)     Specific Enforcement. Without limiting the remedies
        available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Company
        acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its
        obligations under Sections 2(a) and 2(b) 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
        obligations under Sections 2(a) and 2(b).

        3.      Registration Procedures. In connection with the obligations of
the Company with respect to the Registration Statements pursuant to Sections
2(a) and 2(b) hereof, the Company shall:

                (a)     prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement,
        within the time periods specified in Section 2, on the appropriate form
        under the Securities Act, which form (i) shall be selected by the
        Company, (ii) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, be
        available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the selling
        Holders thereof and (iii) shall comply as to form in all material
        respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include or
        incorporate by reference all financial statements required by the SEC to
        be filed therewith, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
        such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective in
        accordance with Section 2 hereof;

                (b)     prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
        post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be
        necessary under applicable law to keep such Registration Statement
        effective for the applicable period; cause each Prospectus to be
        supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so
        supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act;
        and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
        disposition of all Securities covered by each Registration Statement
        during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or
        methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof;

                (c)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, (i) notify each
        Holder of Registrable Securities, at least 15 Business Days prior to
        filing, that a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to the
        Registrable Securities is being filed and advising such Holders that the
        distribution of Registrable Securities will be made in accordance with
        the method elected by the Majority Holders; (ii) furnish to each Holder
        of Registrable Securities, to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to
        counsel for the Holders and to each underwriter of an underwritten
        offering of Registrable Securities, if any, without charge, as many
        copies of each Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and
        any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such
        Holder or underwriter, or their counsel, may reasonably request,
        including financial statements and schedules and, if the Holder so
        reasonably requests, all exhibits (including those incorporated by
        reference) in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition
        of the Registrable Securities; and (iii) subject to the last paragraph
        of this Section 3, hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus,
        including each preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
        thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities in
        connection with the

                                       11

<PAGE>

        offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the
        Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;

                (d)     use commercially reasonable efforts to register or
        qualify the Registrable Securities under all applicable state securities
        or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable
        Securities covered by a Registration Statement and each underwriter of
        an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities shall reasonably
        request by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared
        effective by the SEC, to cooperate with the Holders in connection with
        any filings required to be made with the NASD, keep each such
        registration or qualification effective during the period such
        Registration Statement is required to be effective and do any and all
        other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary to enable such
        Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such
        Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the
        Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or
        as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not
        otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d) or (ii) take
        any action which would subject it to general service of process or
        taxation in any such jurisdiction;

                (e)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Holder
        of Registrable Securities and counsel for such Holders promptly and, if
        requested by such Holder or counsel, confirm such advice in writing
        promptly (i) when a Registration Statement has become effective and when
        any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective,
        (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for
        post-effective amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement
        and Prospectus or for additional information after the Registration
        Statement has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any
        state securities authority of any stop order suspending the
        effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any
        proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if, between the effective date of a
        Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable
        Securities covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the
        Company contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales
        agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to such offering
        cease to be true and correct in all material respects, (v) of the
        receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
        suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale
        in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
        for such purpose, (vi) of the happening of any event or the discovery of
        any facts during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is effective
        (including as contemplated in Section 2(d)(iii) hereof) which (A) is
        contemplated in Section 2(d)(i) or (B) makes any statement made in such
        Shelf Registration Statement or the related Prospectus untrue in any
        material respect or which requires the making of any changes in such
        Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to make the
        statements therein not misleading and (vii) of any determination by the
        Company that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement
        would be appropriate;

                (f)     (A) in the case of an Exchange Offer, (i) include in the
        Exchange Offer Registration Statement a "Plan of Distribution" section
        covering the use of the Prospectus included in the Exchange Offer
        Registration Statement by broker-dealers who have exchanged their
        Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities for the resale of such

                                       12

<PAGE>

        Exchange Securities, (ii) furnish to each broker-dealer who desires to
        participate in the Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of
        each Prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
        including any preliminary prospectus, and any amendment or supplement
        thereto, as such broker-dealer may reasonably request, (iii) include in
        the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a statement that any
        broker-dealer who holds Registrable Securities acquired for its own
        account as a result of market-making activities or other trading
        activities (a "Participating Broker-Dealer"), and who receives Exchange
        Securities for Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer,
        may be a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the
        requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such
        Exchange Securities, (iv) subject to the last paragraph of this Section
        3, hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus forming part of the
        Exchange Offer Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement
        thereto, by any broker-dealer in connection with the sale or transfer of
        the Exchange Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or
        supplement thereto, and (v) include in the transmittal letter or similar
        documentation to be executed by an exchange offeree in order to

                "If the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned
                represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to
                engage in, a distribution of Exchange Securities. If the
                undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange
                Securities for its own account in exchange for Registrable
                Securities, it represents that the Registrable Securities to be
                exchanged for Exchange Securities were acquired by it as a
                result of market-making activities or other trading activities
                and acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the
                requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale
                of such Exchange Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer;
                however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the
                undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an
                "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act;"

                                (B)     to the extent any Participating
                Broker-Dealer participates in the Exchange Offer, the Company
                shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be
                delivered at the request of an entity representing the
                Participating Broker-Dealers (which entity shall be Salomon
                Smith Barney Inc., unless it elects not to act as such
                representative) any "cold comfort" letters with respect to the
                Prospectus in the form existing on the last date for which
                exchanges are accepted pursuant to the Exchange Offer and with
                respect to each subsequent amendment or supplement, if any,
                effected during the period specified in clause (C) below;

                                (C)     to the extent any Participating
                Broker-Dealer participates in the Exchange Offer, the Company
                shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the
                effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement for a
                period of 200 days following the closing of the Exchange Offer
                or such shorter period which will terminate when the
                Participating Broker-Dealers have completed all resales subject
                to applicable prospectus delivery requirements; and

                                (D)     the Company shall not be required to
                amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange
                Offer Registration Statement as would otherwise be contemplated
                by Section 3(b) hereof, or take any other action as a result of
                this Section 3(f), following the 200th day after the last date
                for which exchanges are accepted pursuant to the Exchange Offer
                (as such period may be extended by the Company) and
                Participating Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the
                Company to, and shall not, deliver such Prospectus after such
                date in connection with resales contemplated by this Section 3;

                (g)     (i) in the case of an Exchange Offer, furnish counsel
        for the Initial Purchasers and (ii) in the case of a Shelf Registration,
        furnish counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any
        request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments or
        supplements to a Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional
        information and the Company's responses to any such request;

                (h)     make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
        withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
        Statement as soon as practicable and provide immediate notice to each
        Holder of the withdrawal of any such order;

                (i)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each
        Holder of Registrable Securities, without charge, at least one conformed
        copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
        thereto (without documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits
        thereto, unless requested);

                (j)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the
        selling Holders of Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely
        preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable
        Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and cause
        such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations (consistent with
        the provisions of the Indenture) in a form eligible for deposit with the
        Depositary and registered in such names as the selling Holders or the
        underwriters, if any, may reasonably request in writing at least one
        Business Day prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;

                (k)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence
        of any event or the discovery of any facts, each as contemplated by
        Section 3(e)(vi) hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare
        a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or
        the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference
        or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to
        the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not
        contain at the time of such delivery any untrue statement of a material
        fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
        therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
        misleading. The Company agrees to notify each Holder to suspend use of
        the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such
        an event, and each Holder hereby agrees to suspend use of the Prospectus
        until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct
        such misstatement or omission. At such time as such public disclosure is
        otherwise made or the Company determines that such disclosure is not
        necessary, in each case to correct any misstatement of a material fact
        or to include

                                       14

<PAGE>

        any omitted material fact, the Company agrees promptly to notify each
        Holder of such determination and to furnish each Holder such numbers of
        copies of the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, as such Holder may
        reasonably request;

                (l)     obtain CUSIP numbers, ISINs and common codes for all
        Exchange Securities, or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, not
        later than the effective date of a Registration Statement, and provide
        the Trustee with printed certificates for the Exchange Securities or
        Registrable Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for
        deposit with the Depositary;

                (m)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, enter into
        agreements (including underwriting agreements) and take all other
        customary and appropriate actions (including those reasonably requested
        by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities) in order to
        expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities
        and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is
        entered into and whether or not the registration is an underwritten
        registration, in a manner that is reasonable and customary:

                        (i)     make such representations and warranties to the
                Holders of such Registrable Securities 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 such Holders and underwriters;

                        (ii)    obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and
                updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and
                substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing
                underwriters, if any, and the Holders of a majority in principal
                amount of the Registrable Securities being sold) addressed to
                each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, covering the
                matters customarily covered in opinions requested in sales of
                securities or underwritten offerings and such other matters as
                may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters;

                        (iii)   obtain "cold comfort" letters and updates
                thereof from the Company's independent certified public
                accountants addressed to the underwriters, if any, and will use
                commercially reasonable efforts to have such letters addressed
                to the selling Holders of Registrable Securities, such letters
                to be in customary form and covering matters of the type
                customarily covered in "cold comfort" letters to underwriters in
                connection with similar underwritten offerings;

                        (iv)    enter into a securities sales agreement with the
                Holders and an agent of the Holders providing for, among other
                things, the appointment of such agent for the selling Holders
                for the purpose of soliciting purchases of Registrable
                Securities, which agreement shall be in form, substance and
                scope customary for similar offerings;

                        (v)     if an underwriting agreement is entered into in
                the case of an underwritten offering, cause the same to set
                forth indemnification provisions and

                                       15

<PAGE>

                procedures substantially equivalent to the indemnification
                provisions and procedures set forth in Section 5 hereof with
                respect to the underwriters and all other parties to be
                indemnified pursuant to Section 5 hereof; and

                        (vi)    deliver such documents and certificates as may
                be reasonably requested by the underwriters or the Holders and
                as are customarily delivered in similar offerings.

        The above shall be done at (i) the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement (and, if appropriate, each post-effective amendment thereto) and (ii)
each closing under any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent
required thereunder. In the case of any underwritten offering, the Company shall
provide written notice to the Holders of all Registrable Securities of such
underwritten offering at least thirty days prior to the filing of a prospectus
supplement for such underwritten offering. Such notice shall (x) offer each such
Holder the right to participate in such underwritten offering, (y) specify a
date, which shall be no earlier than ten Business Days following the date of
such notice, by which such Holder must inform the Company of its intent to
participate in such underwritten offering and (z) include the instructions such
Holder must follow in order to participate in such underwritten offering;

                (n)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for
        inspection by representatives of the Holders of the Registrable
        Securities and any underwriters participating in any disposition
        pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and any U.S. counsel or
        accountant retained by such Holders or underwriters, all financial and
        other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
        Company reasonably requested by any such Persons, and cause the
        respective officers, directors, employees, and any other agents of the
        Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
        representative, underwriter, special counsel or accountant in connection
        with a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the
        foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on
        behalf of the Initial Purchasers by Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and on
        behalf of the other parties by one counsel designated by the holders of
        a majority of the Registrable Securities who shall be approved by the
        Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and provided
        further that any such records, documents, properties and such
        information that is designated in writing by the Company, in good faith,
        as confidential at the time of delivery of such records, documents,
        properties or information shall be kept confidential by any such
        representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant and shall be used
        only in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement, unless such
        information has become available (not in violation of this Agreement) to
        the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying
        obligation of confidentiality, and except that such representative,
        underwriter, counsel or accountant shall have no liability, and shall
        not be in breach of this provision, if disclosure of such confidential
        information is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by
        law, and the Company shall be entitled to request that such
        representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant sign a
        confidentiality agreement to the foregoing effect. Each such person 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 is made generally available to the public

                                       16

<PAGE>

        through no fault or action of such person. Each selling Holder of such
        Registrable Securities will be required to further agree that it will,
        upon learning that disclosure of confidential information is necessary,
        give notice to the Company to allow the Company at its expense to
        undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the confidential
        information;

                (o)     (i) in the case of an Exchange Offer, a reasonable time
        prior to the filing of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, any
        Prospectus forming a part thereof, any amendment to an Exchange Offer
        Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus,
        provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchasers, and make such
        changes in any such document prior to the filing thereof as the Initial
        Purchasers or their counsel may reasonably request, provided that such
        changes in any such document are provided to the Company in a timely
        manner with respect to the filing date; (ii) in the case of a Shelf
        Registration, a reasonable time prior to filing any Shelf Registration
        Statement, any Prospectus forming a part thereof, any amendment to such
        Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to such
        Prospectus, provide copies of such document to the Holders of
        Registrable Securities, to the Initial Purchasers, to counsel on behalf
        of the Holders and to the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten
        offering of Registrable Securities, if any, and make such changes in any
        such document prior to the filing thereof as counsel to the Initial
        Purchasers, the Holders or any underwriter may reasonably request,
        provided that such changes in any such document are provided to the
        Company in a timely manner with respect to the filing date; and (iii) of
        cause the representatives of the Company to be available for discussion
        such document as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders of
        Registrable Securities, the Initial Purchasers on behalf of such Holders
        or any underwriter, and shall not at any time make any filing of any
        such document of which such Holders, the Initial Purchasers on behalf of
        such Holders, their counsel or any underwriter shall not have previously
        been advised and furnished a copy or to which such Holders, the Initial
        Purchasers on behalf of such Holders, their counsel or any underwriter
        shall reasonably object within a reasonable time period;

                (p)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, use commercially
        reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities to be rated with
        the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by the Majority Holders
        or by the underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten offering,
        unless the Registrable Securities are already so rated;

                (q)     otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply
        with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make available
        to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings
        statement covering at least twelve months which shall satisfy the
        provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
        thereunder; and

                (r)     cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made
        with the NASD and in the performance of any due diligence investigation
        by any underwriter and its counsel.

        In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may (as a
condition to such Holder's participation in the Shelf Registration) require each
Holder of Registrable Securities to

                                       17

<PAGE>

furnish to the Company or its counsel such information regarding such Holder and
the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Securities, as the
Company may from time to time reasonably request, and agree in writing to be
bound by the Agreement, including the indemnification provisions.

        In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that,
upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or the
discovery of any facts, each of the kind described in Sections 2(d)(i) and
3(e)(ii)-(vii) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder's
receipt of (i) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated
by Section 3(k) hereof or (ii) written notice from the Company that the Shelf
Registration Statement is once again effective and that no supplement or
amendment is required. If so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver
to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies in its possession, other
than permanent file copies then in such Holder's possession, of the Prospectus
covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such
notice.

        If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement as a result of
the happening of any event or the discovery of any facts, each of the kind
described in Sections 2(d)(i) and 3(e)(vi) hereof, the Company shall be deemed
to have used commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
Statement effective during such period of suspension; provided that (i) such
period of suspension shall not exceed the time periods provided in Section
2(d)(iii) hereof and (ii) the Company shall, if necessary, use commercially
reasonable efforts to file and have declared effective (if an amendment) as soon
as practicable an amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement
and shall extend the period during which the Registration Statement shall be
maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the
period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including
the date when the Holders shall have received copies of the supplemented or
amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions.

        4.      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 Company and shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Majority Holders of such Registrable Securities included in
such offering.

        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.

        5.      Indemnification and Contribution.

                (a)     The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
        Initial Purchaser, each Holder, including Participating Broker-Dealers,
        each underwriter who

                                       18

<PAGE>

        participates in an offering of Registrable Securities, their respective
        affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents,
        and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any
        Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
        Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses,
        claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any
        legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser,
        any Holder or any such controlling or affiliated Person in connection
        with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any
        untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
        contained in any Registration Statement or any amendment thereof,
        pursuant to which Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities were
        registered under the Securities Act, including all documents
        incorporated therein by reference, or caused by any omission or alleged
        omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
        or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or caused by
        any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
        contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company
        shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused
        by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
        necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances
        under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such
        losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue
        statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon
        information relating to any Initial Purchaser or any Holder furnished to
        the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser or by or relating to
        any Holder or underwriter who participates in an offering of Registrable
        Securities, in each case expressly for use therein; provided, however,
        that the Company shall not be liable to any such Holder, Participating
        Broker-Dealer or controlling person, with respect to any untrue
        statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in
        any preliminary prospectus to the extent that any such loss, liability,
        claim, damage or expense of any Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer or
        controlling person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to
        the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the final Prospectus as
        then amended or supplemented, if the Company had previously furnished
        copies thereof to such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer or
        controlling person and the loss, liability, claim, damage or expense of
        such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer or controlling person results
        from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the
        preliminary prospectus that was corrected in the final Prospectus.

                (b)     Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to
        indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Initial Purchaser, each
        underwriter who participates in an offering of Registrable Securities,
        and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective directors
        and officers (including each director and officer of the Company who
        signed the Registration Statement) and each Person, if any, who controls
        the Company, any Initial Purchaser, any underwriter or any other selling
        Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
        Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses,
        claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any
        legal or other expenses described in the indemnity contained in Section
        5(a), as incurred), but only with reference to information relating to
        such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly
        for use in any Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or any
        Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.

                (c)     In case any proceeding (including any governmental
        investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of
        which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or
        paragraph (b) above, such Person (the "indemnified party") shall
        promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought
        (the "indemnifying party") in writing (but the failure to so notify the
        indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may
        have to any indemnified party except to the extent it is materially
        prejudiced or harmed) and the indemnifying party, upon request of the
        indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
        indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
        indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the
        fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In
        any such proceeding, any indemnified party 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 party unless (i) the indemnifying
        party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the
        retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such
        proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the
        indemnifying party and the indemnified party 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 the
        indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any
        indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related
        proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (a) the fees and
        expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
        counsel) for the Initial Purchasers and all Persons, if any, who control
        any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
        Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (b) the fees and
        expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
        counsel) for the Company, its respective directors, its respective
        officers who sign the Registration Statement and all Persons, if any,
        who control the Company within the meaning of either such Section and
        (c) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to
        any local counsel) for all Holders and all Persons, if any, who control
        any Holders within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such
        fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case
        of any such separate firm for the Initial Purchasers and such control
        Persons of the Initial Purchasers, such firm shall be designated in
        writing by Salomon Smith Barney Inc. In the case of any such separate
        firm for the Holders and such Persons who control Holders, such firm
        shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders. In all other
        cases, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. The
        indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
        proceeding affected without its written consent, but if settled with
        such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
        indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and
        against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
        Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified
        party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the
        indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by
        the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party
        agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
        effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered
        into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
        aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have
        reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior
        to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the
        prior written consent of the

                                       20

<PAGE>

        indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
        effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect
        of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
        indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party,
        unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such
        indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject
        matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to an
        admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any
        indemnified party.

                (d)     If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or
        paragraph (b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party
        or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
        referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph,
        in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall
        contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
        result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion
        as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
        party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties
        on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that
        resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any
        other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
        indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party
        or parties on the other hand 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 such indemnifying party or
        parties or such indemnified party or parties, and the parties' relative
        intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
        prevent such statement or omission. The obligations of the Initial
        Purchasers and the Holders of Registrable Securities to contribute
        pursuant to this Section 5 are several in proportion to the respective
        number of Securities have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

                (e)     The Company, the Initial Purchasers, and each Holder of
        Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just or equitable if
        contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata
        allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers 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 paragraph
        (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
        result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in
        paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
        limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
        incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
        defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of
        this Section 5, no Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute
        any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
        Registrable Securities were sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of
        any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
        reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
        omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
        meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
        contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
        misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5, each Person, if any,
        who controls an Initial Purchaser or Holder within the meaning of
        Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall
        have the same rights to contribution as such Initial

                                       21

<PAGE>

        Purchaser or Holder, and each director of the Company, each officer of
        the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each Person, if
        any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
        Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same
        rights to contribution as the Company. The remedies provided for in this
        Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies
        which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in
        equity.

        The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any
termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of
any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or any Person controlling any Initial
Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or
directors or any Person controlling the Company, (iii) acceptance of any of the
Exchange Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Shelf Registration Statement.

        6.      Miscellaneous.

                (a)     Rule 144 and Rule 144A. For so long as the Company is
        subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the
        Exchange Act, the Company covenants that it will file the reports
        required to be filed by it under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
        Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, that if
        it ceases to be so required to file such reports, it will upon the
        request of any Holder of Registrable Securities (i) make publicly
        available or cause to be made publicly available such information as is
        necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
        (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered such information to a prospective
        purchaser as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under
        the Securities Act and it will take such further action as any Holder of
        Registrable Securities may reasonably request, and (iii) take such
        further action that is reasonable in the circumstances, in each case, to
        the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell its
        Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act
        within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (x) Rule 144 under
        the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (y)
        Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from
        time to time, or (z) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted
        by the SEC. Upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable
        Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement
        as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

                (b)     No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered
        into nor will the Company on or after the date of this Agreement enter
        into any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
        Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise
        conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders
        hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with
        the rights granted to the holders of the Company's other issued and
        outstanding securities under any such agreements.

                (c)     Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this
        Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be
        amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures
        from the material provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company
        has obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders of the

                                       22

<PAGE>

        outstanding Registrable Securities affected by such amendment,
        modification, supplement, waiver or departure.

                (d)     Notices. All notices and other communications provided
        for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery,
        registered first-class mail, telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing
        overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser),
        at the most current address set forth on the records of the Registrar
        under the Indenture, (ii) if to an Initial Purchaser, at the most
        current address given by such Initial Purchaser to the Company by means
        of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section
        6(d), which address initially is the address set forth in the Purchase
        Agreement; and (iii) if to the Company, initially at its respective
        addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such
        other addresses, notice of which are given in accordance with the
        provisions of this Section 6(d).

        All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business
Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt
is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered
to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.

        Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be
concurrently delivered by the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the
address specified in the Indenture.

                (e)     Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to
        the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and
        transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and
        without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided
        that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer
        or other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms
        hereof or of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee
        of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner,
        whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities
        shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by
        taking and holding such Registrable Securities, such Person shall be
        conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of
        the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictions
        on resale set forth in this Agreement and, if applicable, the Purchase
        Agreement, and such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits
        hereof.

                (f)     Third Party Beneficiary. Subject to the provisions of
        Section 6(c) hereof, the Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to
        the agreements made hereunder between the Company on the one hand, and
        the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to
        enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement
        necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders
        hereunder.

                (g)     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.

                (h)     Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for
        convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect
        the meaning hereof.

                (i)     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
        construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without
        regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

                (j)     Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
        provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any
        circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
        legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect
        and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected
        or impaired thereby.
