to issue and sell to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, Chase Securities Inc.
and BT Xxxx. Xxxxx Incorporated (collectively, the "Placement Agents"), upon the
----------------
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a placement agreement dated

---------
Agreement"), $170,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of its 11%
---------
Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due 2008 (the "Securities"). The Securities
----------
will be issued pursuant to an Indenture to be dated the Closing Date (as the
same may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the
"Indenture") between the Issuer and United States Trust
---------
Company of New York, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not
-------
defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Placement
Agreement.
The Issuer has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as
of April 15, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") with Harborside Healthcare
----------------
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), pursuant to which the
-------
Issuer will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"), and the Company will
------
be the surviving corporation.
As an inducement to the Placement Agents to enter into the Placement
Agreement and in satisfaction of a condition to the obligations of the Placement
Agents thereunder, the Issuer and each subsidiary of the Company which may
hereafter execute a counterpart signature page hereto (collectively, the
"Guarantors"), agree with the Placement Agents, for the benefit of the holders
-----------
(including the Placement Agents) of the Securities and of the Exchange
Securities (as defined herein) (collectively, the "Holders"), as follows:
-------
1. Registered Exchange Offer. Unless the Registered Exchange Offer
-------------------------
(as defined below) is not permitted by applicable law or Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") policy, or each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities (as defined below) notifies the Issuer that it is a Restricted Holder
(as defined below), the Issuer shall (i) prepare and, not later than 90 days
following the date on which the Issuer is merged with and into the Company (the
"Closing Date"), file with the Commission a registration statement (the
------------
"Exchange Offer Registration Statement") on an appropriate form under the
--------------------------------------
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with respect to a
--------------
proposed offer to the Holders (the "Registered Exchange Offer") to issue and
-------------------------
deliver to such Holders, in exchange for Securities, a like aggregate principal
amount at maturity of debt securities of the Issuer (the "Exchange Securities")
-------------------
having the same Accreted Value as the Securities on the date of exchange and
that are identical in all material respects to the Securities, except for the
transfer restrictions relating to the Securities and the absence of registration
rights, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act on or prior
to 180 days after the Closing Date, and (iii) commence the Registered Exchange
Offer and use its reasonable best efforts to issue on or prior to 30 business
days after the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is
declared effective by the Commission, Exchange Securities in exchange for all
Securities tendered prior thereto in the Registered Exchange Offer (such period
being called the "Exchange Offer Registration Period"). The Exchange Securities
----------------------------------
will be issued under the Indenture or an indenture (the "Exchange Securities
-------------------
Indenture") between the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee or such other
---------
bank or trust company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agents,
as trustee (the "Exchange Securities Trustee"), such indenture to be identical
---------------------------
in all material respects to the Indenture, except for the transfer restrictions
relating to the Securities.
Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
the Issuer shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the
objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder electing to
exchange Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder (a) is
not an affiliate of the Issuer or an Exchanging Dealer (as defined herein) not
complying with the requirements of the next sentence, (b) is not a Placement
Agent
2
holding Securities that have, or that are reasonably likely to have, the status
of an unsold allotment in an initial distribution, (c) acquires the Exchange
Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder's business and (d) has no
arrangements or understandings with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities) to trade such
Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or
restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under
the securities laws of the several states of the United States. The Issuer, the
Guarantors and the Placement Agents and each Exchanging Dealer acknowledge that,
pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission's staff of Section 5 of
the Securities Act, (i) each Holder that is a broker-dealer electing to exchange
Securities, acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities
or other trading activities, for Exchange Securities (an "Exchanging Dealer"),
-----------------
is required to deliver a prospectus containing substantially the information set
forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer
Procedures" section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section and in Annex
C hereto in the "Plan of Distribution" section of such prospectus in connection
with a sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) if any Placement Agent elects
to sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Securities constituting any
portion of an unsold allotment, it is required to deliver a prospectus,
containing the information required by Items 507 and/or 508 or Regulation S-K
under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such a sale.
In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Issuer and the
Guarantors shall:
(a) 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;
(b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 20
business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date on
which notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders;
(c) utilize the services of a depository for the Registered Exchange
Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York;
(d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior
to the close of business, New York City time, on the last business day on
which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and
(e) otherwise comply in all respects with all laws that are
applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer.
As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange
Offer, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall:
3
(a) accept for exchange all Securities tendered and not validly
withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer;
(b) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for
cancellation all Securities so accepted for exchange; and
(c) issue, and cause the Trustee or the Exchange Securities Trustee,
as the case may be, promptly to authenticate and deliver to each Holder,
Exchange Securities equal in principal amount at maturity to the principal
amount at maturity of the Securities of such Holder so accepted for
exchange.
Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof, the Issuer and the
Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the
prospectus contained therein in order to permit such prospectus to be used
by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with
such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided that
--------
(i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer, such period shall be the
lesser of 90 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers have sold
all Exchange Securities held by them and (ii) the Issuer and the Guarantors
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 not to exceed 90 days after the
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer.
The Indenture or the Exchange Securities Indenture, as the case may
be, shall provide that the Securities and the Exchange Securities shall vote and
consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities or
the Exchange Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate
class on any matter.
The Accreted Value (as defined in the Indenture) of each Exchange
Security issued pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer will accrete from the
last Semi-Annual Accrual Date (as defined in the Indenture) of the Securities
surrendered in exchange therefor; provided, however, that if any Exchange
-------- -------
Security is issued after the Full Accretion Date (as defined in the Indenture),
interest on such Exchange Security will accrue from the last interest payment
date on which interest was paid on the Securities surrendered in exchange
therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from the Full
Accretion Date.
Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be
required to represent to the Issuer that at the time of the consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by such Holder
will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will have
no arrangements or understandings with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of
the Securities Act and (iii) such Holder is not an "affiliate," as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Issuer or,
4
if it is such an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Issuer and each
Guarantor will ensure that, except with respect to the Holders' Information (as
defined in Section 2(c)), (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement
thereto complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes
effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not,
as of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.
2. Shelf Registration. If (i) the Issuer and the Guarantors are not
------------------
required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or permitted to
consummate the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) any Securities validly tendered
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer are not exchanged for Exchange
Securities within 30 days after the Effectiveness Target Date (as defined in
Section 3) of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (iii) any Holder (a
"Restricted Holder") of Transfer Restricted Securities notifies the Issuer prior
to the 20th day following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer that (A)
it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the
Registered Exchange Offer, (B) it may not resell the Exchange Securities
acquired by it in the Registered Exchange Offer to the public without delivering
a prospectus and the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales, (C) it is a
Placement Agent and that such Securities are not eligible to be exchanged for
Exchange Securities or (D) it is a broker-dealer and owns Securities acquired
directly from the Issuer or an affiliate of the Issuer, the Issuer will file
with the Commission a shelf registration statement on an appropriate form under
the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted
Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the
methods of distribution set forth in such registration statement (hereafter, a
"Shelf Registration Statement" and together with any Exchange Offer Registration
-----------------------------
Statement, a "Registration Statement"). If the Issuer is required to file a
----------------------
Shelf Registration Statement the following provisions shall apply:
(a) The Issuer and the Guarantors will use their reasonable best
efforts to file the Shelf Registration Statement with the Commission on or
prior to the date that is 90 days after such filing obligation arises and
to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to the date that is 135 days after such obligation
arises.
5
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof, the Issuer and
the Guarantors shall use their reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the
prospectus forming part thereof to be used by Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities for a period of two years after its effective date or
such shorter period that will terminate when all the Transfer Restricted
Securities covered thereby (i) have been sold pursuant thereto or (ii) are
distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or
are saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (in any such
case, such period being called the "Shelf Registration Period"). Subject
-------------------------
to the provisions of Section 4(b) hereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors
shall be deemed not to have used their reasonable best efforts to keep the
Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if any
of them voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of
Transferred Restricted Securities covered thereby not being able to offer
and sell such Transfer Restricted Securities during that period, unless (i)
such action is required by applicable law, or (ii) such action is taken by
the Issuer in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including
avoidance of the Issuer's obligations hereunder), including the acquisition
or divestiture of assets, so long as the Issuer promptly thereafter
complies with the requirements of Section 4(j) hereof, if applicable.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the
Issuer and the Guarantors will ensure that (i) any Shelf Registration
Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof
and any supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder,
(ii) any Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (in either
case, other than with respect to information included therein in reliance
upon or in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by
or on behalf of any Holder specifically for use therein (the "Holders'
--------
Information")) does 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 not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming
part of any Shelf Registration Statement, and any supplement to such
prospectus (in either case, other than with respect to Holders'
Information), does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.
3. Liquidated Damages.
------------------
(a) The parties hereto agree that the Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities will suffer damages if the Issuer or any
Guarantor fails to fulfill its obligations under Section 1 or Section 2, as
applicable, and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of
such damages. Accordingly, if (i) the Issuer fails to file any of the
Registration Statements required by this Registration Rights Agreement on
or before the date specified for such filing, (ii) any of such Registration
Statements is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the
date specified for such effectiveness in Section 1 or Section 2(a), as
applicable (the "Effectiveness Target Date"), (iii) unless the Registered
--------------------------
Exchange Offer would not be
6
permitted by applicable law or Commission policy or the Issuer is otherwise
not required to do so, the Issuer fails to consummate the Registered
Exchange Offer within 30 business days of the Effectiveness Target Date
with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, or (iv) the
Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in
connection with resales or exchanges of Transfer Restricted Securities
during the periods specified in Section 1 or Section 2, as applicable,
other than a Blackout Period (as defined herein) (each such event referred
to in clauses (i) through (iv) above, a "Registration Default"), then the
--------------------
Issuer and the Guarantors agree to pay liquidated damages (the "Liquidated
Damages") to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities in cash, with
respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
the first Registration Default in an amount equal to $.05 per week per
$1,000 principal amount at maturity of Transfer Restricted Securities held
by such Holder. The amount of the Liquidated Damages will increase by an
additional $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of
Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day
period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum
amount of Liquidated Damages of $.20 per week per $1,000 principal amount
at maturity of Transfer Restricted Securities. All accrued Liquidated
Damages will be paid by the Issuer and the Guarantors on each Semi-Annual
Accrual Date specified in the Indenture, in the same manner as interest
payments on the Securities. Following the cure of all Registration
Defaults, the accrual of Liquidated Damages will cease. As used herein, the
term "Transfer Restricted Securities" means (i) each Security until the
------------------------------
date on which such Security has been exchanged for a freely transferable
Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) each Exchange
Security following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered
Exchange Offer of a Security for an Exchange Security, until the date on
which such Exchange Security is sold to a purchaser who receives from such
broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus
contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (iii) each Security
until the date on which it has been effectively registered under the
Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration
Statement or (iv) each Security until the date on which it has been
distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(a), the Issuer
and the Guarantors shall not be required to pay Liquidated Damages to a
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities if such Holder failed to comply
with its obligations to make the representations set forth in the second to
last paragraph of Section 1 or failed to provide the information required
to be provided by it, if any, pursuant to Section 4(n).
(b) The Issuer shall notify the Trustee and the Paying
Agent under the Indenture immediately upon the happening of each and every
Registration Default. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay the
Liquidated Damages due on the Transfer Restricted Securities by depositing
with the Paying Agent (which may not be the Issuer for these purposes), in
trust, for the benefit of the Holders thereof, prior to 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on the next Semi-Annual Accrual Date specified by the
Indenture, sums sufficient to pay the Liquidated Damages then due, or by
making payment in such other manner as may be specified for the payment of
interest in the Indenture or the Exchange Securities Indenture. The
Liquidated
7
Damages due shall be payable on each Semi-Annual Accrual Date specified by
the Indenture to the record holder on such date. Each obligation to pay
Liquidated Damages shall be deemed to accrue from and including the date of
the applicable Registration Default.
(c) The parties hereto agree that the Liquidated Damages provided for
in this Section 3 constitute a reasonable estimate of and are intended to
constitute the sole damages that will be suffered by Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities by reason of the occurrence of any of the events
described in Section 3(a)(i) through 3(a)(iv) hereof.
4. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Registration
-----------------------
Statement, the following provisions shall apply:
(a) The Issuer shall (i) furnish to each Placement Agent, prior to
the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Registration

prospectus included therein and shall use its reasonable best efforts to
reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such

Dealer and the Holders (if applicable) and, if requested by any such
person, confirm such advice in writing (which advice pursuant to clauses
(ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use
of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made):
(i) when any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become
effective;
(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or
supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included
therein or for additional information;
(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the

notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of
the Securities or the Exchange Securities for sale in any jurisdiction
or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;
and
(v) of the happening of any event that requires the making of
any changes in any Registration Statement or the prospectus included
therein in order that the statements therein are not misleading and do
not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
Upon complying with the procedures described above in this Section
4(b) following the occurrence of an event of the type described in clause
(v) of this Section 4(b), the Issuer may suspend the use of any prospectus
included in any Registration Statement for a period (the "Blackout Period")
---------------
not to exceed an aggregate of 60 days in any 12 month period if (i) the
Board of Directors of the Issuer determines that the disclosure of such
event at such time would have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations or prospects of the Issuer or (ii) the disclosure otherwise
relates to a material business transaction which has not yet been publicly
disclosed and the Board of Directors determines that any such disclosure
would jeopardize the success of such transaction; provided that, upon the
termination of such Blackout Period, the Issuer promptly shall advise the
Placement Agents, each Exchanging Dealer and the Holders (if applicable)
and, if requested by any such person, confirm such advice in writing that
such Blackout Period has been terminated.
(c) The Issuer and the Guarantors will make every reasonable effort
to obtain the withdrawal at the earliest possible time of any order
suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement.
(d) The Issuer will furnish to each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities included within the coverage of any Shelf Registration

writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any, incorporated by
reference).
(e) The Issuer will, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to
each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities included within the coverage
of any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, as many copies of the
prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in such Shelf

Holder may reasonably request; and the Issuer and the Guarantors consent to
the use (in accordance with applicable law) of such prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities in connection with the offer and sale of the Transfer
Restricted Securities covered by such prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto.
9

Exchanging Dealer, and to any other Holder who so requests, without charge,

Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if
any, incorporated by reference).
(g) The Issuer will, during the Exchange Offer Registration Period or
the Shelf Registration Period, as applicable, promptly deliver to each
Placement Agent, each Exchanging Dealer and such other persons that are
required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer,
without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus included in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement
and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Placement Agent, Exchanging
Dealer or other persons may reasonably request; and the Issuer and the
Guarantors consent to the use (in accordance with applicable law) of such
prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any such Placement
Agent, Exchanging Dealer or other persons, as applicable, as aforesaid.
(h) Prior to the effective date of any Registration Statement, the
Issuer and the Guarantors will use their reasonable best efforts to
register or qualify, or cooperate with the Holders of Securities or
Exchange Securities included therein and their respective counsel in
connection with the registration or qualification of, such Securities or
Exchange Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions as any such Holder reasonably requests in
writing and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities or
Exchange Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided that
--------
the Issuer and the Guarantors will not be required to qualify generally to
do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to
take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to
taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(i) The Issuer and the Guarantors will cooperate with the Holders of
Securities or Exchange Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and
delivery of certificates representing Securities or Exchange Securities to
be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive
legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the
Holders thereof may request in writing at least three business days prior
to sales of Securities or Exchange Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement.
(j) Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4(b)
hereof, if any event contemplated by Section 4(b)(ii) through (v) occurs
during the period for which the Issuer is required to maintain an effective
Registration Statement, the Issuer will promptly prepare and file with the
Commission a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a
supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Securities or Exchange
Securities from a
10
Holder or an Exchanging Dealer, the prospectus will not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(k) Not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration
Statement, the Issuer will provide a CUSIP number for the Securities and
Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and provide the applicable trustee
with printed certificates for the Securities or the Exchange Securities, as
the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust
Company.
(l) The Issuer and the Guarantors will comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission and the Issuer will make generally
available to its security holders as soon as practicable after the
effective date of the applicable Registration Statement an earnings
statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(m) The Issuer and the Guarantors will cause the Indenture or the
Exchange Securities Indenture, as the case may be, to be qualified under
the Trust Indenture Act as required by applicable law in a timely manner.
(n) The Issuer may require each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities to be registered pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement to
furnish to the Issuer such information (including supplements thereto)
concerning the Holder and the distribution of such Transfer Restricted
Securities as the Issuer may from time to time reasonably require for
inclusion in such Shelf Registration Statement, and the Issuer may exclude
from such registration the Transfer Restricted Securities of any Holder
that fails to furnish such information (including supplements thereto)
within 5 business days after receiving such request.
(o) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities to be registered pursuant thereto agrees by
acquisition of such Transfer Restricted Securities that, upon receipt of
any notice from the Issuer pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) through (v) hereof,
such Holder will discontinue disposition of such Transfer Restricted
Securities until such Holder's receipt of copies of the supplemental or
amended prospectus contemplated by Section 4(j) hereof or until advised in
writing (the "Advice") by the Issuer that the use of the applicable
------
prospectus may be resumed. If the Issuer shall give any notice under
Section 4(b)(ii) through (v) during the period that the Issuer is required
to maintain an effective Registration Statement (the "Effectiveness
-------------
Period"), such Effectiveness Period shall be extended by the number of days
------
during such period from and including the date of the giving of such notice
to and including the date when each seller of Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall have received (x)
the copies of the supplemental or amended prospectus contemplated by
Section 4(j) (if an amended or supplemental prospectus is required) or (y)
the Advice (if no amended or supplemental prospectus is required).
11
(p) In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuer shall
enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an
underwriting agreement to be negotiated between the parties in good faith)
and take all such other action, if any, as Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities and Exchange
Securities being sold or the managing underwriters (if any) shall
reasonably request in order to facilitate any disposition of Securities or
Exchange Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement.

reasonable best efforts to have their officers, directors, employees,
accountants and counsel supply, all relevant information reasonably
requested by such representative, Special Counsel or any such underwriter

(if any) and (iii) its independent public accountants to provide a comfort
letter or letters in customary form, subject to receipt of appropriate
documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of
Auditing Standards No. 72.
5. Registration Expenses. The Issuer and the Guarantors will bear
---------------------
all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their obligations
under Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement,
the Issuer and the Guarantors will reimburse the Placement Agents and the
Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of attorneys (in
addition to any local counsel) chosen by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Securities and the Exchange Securities to be
sold pursuant to such Registration Statement (the "Special Counsel") acting for
---------------
the Placement Agents or Holders in connection therewith.
12
6. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to
indemnify and hold harmless each Placement Agent, each Holder (including,
without limitation, each Exchanging Dealer), their respective affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, and each
person, if any, who controls any Placement Agent and any Holder within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") (collectively referred to for purposes of this
------------
Section 6 and Section 7 as a "Holder") from and against any loss, claim,
damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof
(including, without limitation, any loss, claim, damage, liability or
action relating to purchases and sales of Securities or Exchange
Securities), to which that Holder may become subject, whether commenced or
threatened, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal
or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar
as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based
upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Registration Statement (or in any amendment or
supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by
reference, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (as amended
or supplemented), or 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, and shall reimburse each Holder promptly upon demand
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Holder in
connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against
or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided,
--------
however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not be liable in any such
-------
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in
reliance upon and in conformity with any Holders' Information; and provided
--------
further that, with respect to any such untrue statement in or omission from
-------
any related preliminary prospectus, the indemnity contained in this Section
6(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder from whom the person
asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action received
Securities or Exchange Securities to the extent that such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action of or with respect to such Holder results from
the fact that both (A) a copy of the final prospectus was not sent or given
to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such
Securities or Exchange Securities to such person and such delivery was
required by the Securities Act and (B) the untrue statement in or omission
from the related preliminary prospectus was corrected in the final
prospectus unless, in either case, such failure to deliver the final
prospectus was a result of non-compliance by the Issuer with Section 4(d),
4(e), 4(f) or 4(g).
13
(b) Each Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, the
Placement Agents and the other selling Holders, and each of their
respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees,
representatives and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the
Issuer or the Guarantors, any Placement Agent and any other selling Holder
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and
against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any
action in respect thereof, to which the Issuer may become subject, whether
commenced or threatened, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any
other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises
out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or in
any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated
therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (as
amended or supplemented), or 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, but in each case only to the extent that the
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Holders'
Information furnished to the Issuer by such Xxxxxx, and shall reimburse the
Issuer and/or the Guarantors for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Issuer in connection with investigating or defending or
preparing to defend against or appearing as a third party witness in
connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be
-------- -------
liable for any indemnity claims hereunder in excess of the amount of net
proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Securities or Exchange
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
6 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party pursuant to Section 6(a) or 6(b), notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that
action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying
-------- -------
party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this
Section 6 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced
(through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure;
and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party
-------- -------
shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified
party otherwise than under this Section 6. If any such claim or action
shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the
indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any
other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice
from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to
assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall
not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
14
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than the
reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that an indemnified
-------- -------
party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action,
but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel for the
indemnified party will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless
(1) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized
in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the indemnified party has
reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified
party) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other
indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those
available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential conflict
exists (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party that makes it impossible or
inadvisable for counsel to the indemnifying party to conduct the defense of
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party (in which case the
indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such
action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party
has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after
receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases
the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at
the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the
indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding
or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate
firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any one time for
all such indemnified party or parties. In the event of any claim or action
in which the Placement Agents or persons who control the Placement Agents
are indemnified parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated. In the event of any claim or action in which
the Holders or persons who control the Holders are indemnified parties, and
the Placement Agents are not indemnified parties, such firm shall be
designated in writing by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Securities to which such claim or
action relates (excluding for this purpose, affiliates of the Issuer and
the Guarantors). In all other cases, such firm shall be designated by the
Issuer. Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity contained
in Sections 6(a) and 6(b), shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate
with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there
be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and
against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity
could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
15
7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6
------------
is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
Section 6(a) or 6(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or
action in respect thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer from the offering and sale
of the Securities, on the one hand, and a Holder with respect to the sale by
such Holder of Securities or Exchange Securities, on the other, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer, on
the one hand, and such Holder, on the other, with respect to the statements or
omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in
respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative benefits received by the Issuer, on the one hand, and a Holder, on the
other, with respect to such offering and such sale shall be deemed to be in the
same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities
(before deducting expenses) received by or on behalf of the Issuer, on the one
hand, bear to the total proceeds received by such Holder with respect to its
sale of Securities or Exchange Securities, on the other. The relative fault
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to the Issuer or information supplied by the
Issuer, on the one hand, or to any Holders' Information supplied by such Holder,
on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to this Section 7 were to be determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by
an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or
action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed
to include, for purposes of this Section 7, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 7, an indemnifying party that is a Holder of
Securities or Exchange Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities or
Exchange Securities sold by such indemnifying party to any purchaser exceeds the
amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise paid or become
liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
8. Rules 144 and 144A. The Issuer shall use its reasonable best
------------------
efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Issuer is not
required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder
of Transfer Restricted Securities, make publicly available other information so
long as necessary to permit sales of such Holder's securities pursuant to Rules
144 and 144A. The Issuer and the Guarantors covenant that they will take such
further action as any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
16
such Holder to sell Transfer Restricted Securities without registration under
the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144
and 144A (including, without limitation, the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)).
Upon the written request of any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, the
Issuer shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Section 8 shall be deemed to require the Issuer to register any of its
securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.
9. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted
--------------------------
Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an
underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager
or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of such Transfer Restricted
Securities included in such offering, subject to the consent of the Issuer
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and such Holders shall be
responsible for all underwriting commissions and discounts in connection
therewith.
No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted
Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms
of such underwriting arrangements.
10. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may
----------------------
not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to
departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Issuer
has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Securities and the Exchange Securities,
taken as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent
to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Securities or Exchange
Securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that
does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be
given by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of
the Securities and Exchange Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant
to such Registration Statement.
(b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
-------
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class
mail, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing next-day delivery:
(1) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such
Holder to the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Section
10(b), which address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the
address of such Holder maintained by the
17
Registrar under the Indenture, with a copy in like manner to Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, Chase Securities Inc. and BT Xxxx. Xxxxx
Incorporated;
(2) if to the Placement Agents, initially at the address set
forth in the Placement Agreement; and
(3) if to the Issuer or the Guarantors, initially at the
address of the Issuer set forth in the Placement Agreement.
All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given: when delivered by hand, if personally delivered; one business day after
being delivered to a next-day air courier; five business days after being
deposited in the mail; and when receipt is acknowledged by the recipient's
telecopier machine, if sent by telecopier.
(c) Successors And Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
----------------------
Issuer, the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
------------
counterparts (which may be delivered in original form or by telecopier) and
by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become
effective upon the execution of a counterpart by each of the Issuer and the
Placement Agents. Upon the execution after the date hereof of a
counterpart, by any Guarantor, such Guarantor shall, without further
action, become a party hereto and such Guarantor shall be bound by the
provisions hereof.
(e) Definition of Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the term
-------------------
"business day" means any day on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. is
open for trading and (b) except where otherwise expressly provided, the
term "affiliate" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act.
(f) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
--------
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(g) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
-------------
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
(h) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Issuer or the
--------
Guarantors or by any Holder of any of their obligations under this
Agreement, each Holder, the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be,
in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law,
including recovery of damages (other than the recovery of damages for a
breach by the Issuer of its obligations under Section 1 or 2 hereof for
which Liquidated Damages have been paid pursuant to Section 3 hereof), will
be entitled to specific performance of its rights under
18
this Agreement. The Issuer, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that
monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred
by reason of a breach by them of any of the provisions of this Agreement
and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific
performance in respect of such breach, they shall waive the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.
(i) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer and the Guarantors
--------------------------
represent, warrant and agree that (i) they have not entered into and shall
not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement that
is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof, (ii) they have not
previously entered into any agreement which remains in effect granting any
registration rights with respect to any of its debt securities to any
person and (iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without
the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the then outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities,
they shall not grant to any person the right to request the Issuer to
register any debt securities of the Issuer under the Securities Act unless
the rights so granted are not in conflict or inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement.
(j) No Piggyback on Registrations. Neither the Issuer, the
-----------------------------
Guarantors nor any of their security holders (other than the Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities in such capacity) shall have the right to
include any securities of the Issuer in any Shelf Registration or
Registered Exchange Offer other than Transfer Restricted Securities.
(k) Severability. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
------------
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any term, provision, covenant
or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder
of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall
remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that
may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
19
Please confirm that the foregoing correctly sets forth the agreement
among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Placement Agents.
Very truly yours,

ANNEX A
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own
account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will
deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.
The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer
in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for
Securities where such Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result
of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Issuer has agreed
that, for a period of 90 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it

over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of
options on the Exchange Securities or a combination of such methods of resale,

pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that
participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be

to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents
