Registered Exchange Offer The Offerors shall, at their own cost (subject to the provisions of Section 4), prepare and, not later than 135 days (or, if the 135th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter, such day being a "FILING DEADLINE") after the date of original issuance of the Initial Securities (the "CLOSING DATE"), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "COMMISSION") a registration statement (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, including post-effective amendments, in each case including the prospectus contained therein, all exhibits thereto and all documents incorporated by reference therein, the "EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on an appropriate form under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), with respect to a proposed offer (the "REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER") to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the Offerors issued under the Indenture, and identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except for the transfer restrictions relating to the Initial Securities and the provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6) that would be registered under the Securities Act (the "EXCHANGE SECURITIES"). The Exchange Securities will be issued under the Indenture. Each Offeror shall use its best efforts to (i) cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 195 days (or, if the 195th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter, such day being an "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE") after the Closing Date and (ii) keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 30 days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being called the "EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION PERIOD").

Each Offeror shall use its best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein (insofar as the required information relates to it), 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 such persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such period shall end on the earlier of 180 days from the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section 3(j)) and (ii) the Issuer shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 180 days after the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer.
