Dear Sirs:
Terex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), proposes to issue
and sell to Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Barney Inc.,
ABN AMRO Incorporated, Dresdner Kleinwort Xxxxxxxxxxx-Grantchester, Inc., Fleet
Securities, Inc. and PNC Capital Markets, Inc. (collectively, the "Initial
Purchasers"), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement dated December
10, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement"), $200.0 million aggregate principal amount
of its 9-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Initial Securities") to
be unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guaranties") by Koehring Cranes, Inc.,
Payhauler Corp., Terex Cranes, Inc., Terex-RO Corporation, Terex-Telelect, Inc.,
The American Crane Corporation , O&K Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, Inc., Amida Industries,
Inc., Cedarapids, Inc., Standard Xxxxxx, Inc., Standard Xxxxxx Products, Inc.,
BL-Pegson (USA), Inc., Xxxxxxx America, Inc., Xxxxxxx Engineering, Inc.,
EarthKing, Inc., Finlay Hydrascreen USA, Inc., Powerscreen Holdings USA, Inc.,
Powerscreen International LLC, Powerscreen North America, Inc., Powerscreen USA,
LLC, Xxxxx Industries, Inc., Terex Xxxxxxx, Inc., Terex Paving, Inc. and CMI
Terex Corporation (the "Guarantors" and together with the Issuer, the
"Company"). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture,
dated the date hereof (the "Indenture"), among the Issuer, the Guarantors named
therein and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the "Trustee"). As an inducement
to the Initial Purchasers, the Company agrees with the Initial Purchasers, for
the benefit of the holders of the Initial Securities (including, without
limitation, the Initial Purchasers), the Exchange Securities (as defined below)
and the Private Exchange Securities (as defined below) (collectively, the
"Holders"), as follows:
1. Registered Exchange Offer. The Company shall, at its own cost, prepare
and, not later than 60 days after (or if the 60th day is not a business day, the
first business day thereafter) the date of original issue of the Initial
Securities (the "Issue Date"), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(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 (the "Registered
Exchange Offer") to the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in
Section 6 hereof), 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 9-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Exchange Securities")
of the Company issued under the Indenture that would be registered under the
Securities Act 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 hereof). The Company
shall use its best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement
to become effective under the Securities Act within 150 days (or if the 150th
day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the Issue
Date of the Initial Securities and shall 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").
If the Company effects the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company will be
entitled to close the Registered Exchange Offer 30 days after the commencement
thereof provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities
theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Registered
Exchange Offer.
Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly commence the Registered
Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to
enable each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities electing to exchange the
Initial Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an
affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires the
Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder's business and has no
arrangements or understandings with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or
policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) 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 Company acknowledges that, pursuant to current interpretations by the
Commission's staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an
applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a broker-dealer
electing to exchange Securities (as defined below) 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 the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto in the
foreportion thereof, (b) Annex B hereto in the "Exchange Offer Procedures"
section and the "Purpose of the Exchange Offer" section, and (c) 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) an Initial Purchaser that elects to
sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Securities constituting any
portion of an unsold allotment is required to deliver a prospectus containing
the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the
Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale.
The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the
prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully
delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act for such period of time as such persons must comply with such
requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that
in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must
be delivered by an Exchanging Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such
2
period shall be the lesser of 180 days 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) below).
If, upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial
Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it and having the status of an
unsold allotment in the initial distribution, the Company, simultaneously with
the delivery of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange
Offer, shall issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser upon the written
request of such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the "Private Exchange") for the
Initial Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of
debt securities of the Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all
material respects (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the
Securities Act and the securities laws of the several states of the United
States, but excluding provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6
hereof) to the Initial Securities (the "Private Exchange Securities"). The
Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange Securities
are herein collectively called the "Securities".
In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company 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 (the "Letter of Transmittal") and related documents;
(b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days
(or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is
mailed to the Holders;
(c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange
Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee;
(d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior
to the close of business, New York time, on the last business day on which
the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and
(e) otherwise comply in all material respects with all applicable
laws.
As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange
Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall:
(x) accept for exchange all the Securities properly tendered and not
properly withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the
Private Exchange in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement and the Letter of Transmittal filed as an exhibit
thereto;
(y) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Securities
so accepted for exchange; and
(z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly Exchange
Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, to each
Holder of the Initial Securities equal in
3
aggregate principal amount to the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted
for exchange.
The Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be subject
to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the Initial
Securities, Exchange Securities and Private Exchange Securities will vote and
consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the such
securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one
another on any matter.
Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will
accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the
Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been
paid on the Initial Securities, from the date of original issue of the Initial
Securities. Each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security will bear
interest at the rate set forth thereon; provided, that interest with respect to
the period prior to the issuance thereof shall accrue at the rate or rates borne
by the Initial Securities from time to time during such period.
Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be
required to represent to the Company 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 understanding with any person to participate in the
distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of
the Securities Act or resale of the Securities or the Exchange Securities in
violation of the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an "affiliate," as
defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or if it is an
affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder
is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage
in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a
broker-dealer, that it will receive Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to
acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of
such Exchange Securities.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will use its best
efforts to ensure that (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 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 include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
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) because of any change in law or in
applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission, the Company
is not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by
Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared
effective within 150 days of the Issue Date (or if the 150th day is not a
business day, the first business day thereafter), (iii) any Initial Purchaser so
requests with respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange
Securities) not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the
Registered Exchange Offer and held by it following consummation of the
Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer)
is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer
4
and such Holder notifies the Company within 60 days following consummation of
the Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case of any Holder (other than an
Exchanging Dealer) that participates in the Registered Exchange Offer, such
Holder does not receive freely tradeable Exchange Securities on the date of the
exchange and such Holder notifies the Company within 60 days following
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall take the
following actions:
(a) The Company shall, at its cost, as promptly as practicable (but in
no event more than 30 days after so required or requested pursuant to this
Section 2) file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its best
efforts to cause to be declared effective a registration statement (the
"Shelf Registration Statement" and, together with the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, a "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 the Shelf
Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter,
the "Shelf Registration"); provided, however, that no Holder (other than an
Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Transfer Restricted
Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless
such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the provisions of this
Agreement applicable to such Holder.
(b) The Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the
prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the
relevant Securities, for a period of up to two years (or for such longer
period if extended pursuant to Section 3(j) below) from the date of its
effectiveness or such shorter period that will terminate when all the
Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold
pursuant thereto or (ii) are no longer restricted securities (as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor rule thereof) (the
"Shelf Registration Period"). The Company shall be deemed not to have used
its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during
the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result
in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell
such Securities during that period, unless such action is required by
applicable law.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Shelf
Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration
Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects
with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
3. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration
contemplated by Section 2 hereof and, to the extent applicable, any Registered
Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 1 hereof, the following provisions shall
apply:
(a) The Company shall (i) furnish to each Initial Purchaser, prior to
the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Registration
Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the
prospectus included therein and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser
(with respect to any portion of an unsold allotment from the original
offering) is
5
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall use its best efforts to reflect
in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as
such Initial Purchaser reasonably may, on a timely basis, propose; (ii)
include substantially the information set forth in Annex A hereto in the
foreportion thereof, 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 the prospectus forming a
part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and include the
information set forth in Annex D hereto in the Letter of Transmittal
delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; (iii) if requested by
an Initial Purchaser, include the information required by Items 507 or 508
of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in the
prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement;
(iv) include within the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement a section entitled "Plan of Distribution," which
shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made
by the staff of the Commission with respect to the potential "underwriter"
status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")) of Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in
the Registered Exchange Offer (a "Participating Broker-Dealer"), whether
such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of
the Commission or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of
the Initial Purchasers based upon advice of counsel (which may be in-house
counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff of the Commission;
and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include the names of
the Holders, who propose to sell Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement, as selling securityholders. In connection with the
preparation and filing of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may
require each Holder to agree to (1) keep confidential any material
non-public information relating to the Company received by such Holders and
not to publicly disclose such information and (ii) to abstain from trading
any securities of the Company in violation of applicable securities laws on
the basis of any such material non-public information, in each case until
such information has been made generally available to the public.
(b) The Company shall give written notice to the selling Holders of
the Securities and any Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the Company
has received prior written notice that it will be a Participating
Broker-Dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (which notice 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 the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has
been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or
supplements to the 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 the Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any
notification
6
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
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 Company to
make changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order
that the Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading.
(c) The Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain the
withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
(d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities included
within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, at least one
copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder
so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any,
incorporated by reference).
(e) The Company shall deliver to each Exchanging Dealer and each
Initial Purchaser, and to any other Holder who so requests, without charge,
at least one copy of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any
post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, and, if any Initial Purchaser or any such Holder requests, all
exhibits thereto (including those incorporated by reference).
(f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver
to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf
Registration, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including
each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement
and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably
request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each
of the selling Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering
and sale of the Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement.
(g) The Company shall deliver to each Initial Purchaser, any
Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons
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 and any amendment or supplement
thereto as such persons may reasonably request. The Company consents,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Initial Purchaser, if
necessary, any Exchanging Dealer, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such
other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered
Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the Exchange
Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement.
(h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities, pursuant to any
Registration
7
Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the
Holders of the Securities included therein and their respective counsel in
connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for
offer and sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such states of
the United States as any Holder of the Securities 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 covered
by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it
is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to
service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then
so subject.
(i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the Securities to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
the 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 may request a reasonable period of time prior to sales
of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii)
through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the Company
is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company
shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any
other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the
Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the
Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with
paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the
prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made,
then the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any such
Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend use of such prospectus, and the
period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in
Section 2(b) above and the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided
for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by the number of days from
and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the
date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any
known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or
supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 3(j).
(k) Not later than the effective date of the applicable Registration
Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for the Initial
Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as
the case may be, and provide the applicable trustee with printed
certificates for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the
Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for
deposit with The Depository Trust Company.
(l) The Company will comply in all material respects with all rules
and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are
applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and
will make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide
in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings
statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act,
no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if
such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the
Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the
Registration
8
Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period.
(m) To the extent required by applicable law, the Company shall cause
the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended, in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall
be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification
would require the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the
Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable
provisions of the Indenture.
(n) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such
information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as
the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the
Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such
registration the Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to
furnish such information within a reasonable time (but not more than ten
days) after receiving such request.
(o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including,
if requested in the case of a Shelf Registration, an underwriting agreement
in customary form) and take all such other action, if any, as any Holder of
the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration.
(p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall (i) make
reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of the Securities named
in the Shelf Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities named
in the Shelf Registration Statement or any such underwriter all relevant
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties
of the Company and (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors, employees,
accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably
requested by the Holders of the Securities named in the Shelf Registration
Statement or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent retained
by the Holders of the Securities named in the Shelf Registration Statement
in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall
be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable
investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act;
provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering
shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by you and on
behalf of the other parties by one counsel designated by and on behalf of
such other parties as described in, and subject to the provisions of,
Section 4 hereof.
(q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if requested
by any Holder of Securities named in the Shelf Registration Statement,
shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver an opinion and updates thereof
relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to such Holders and
the managing underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the
initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement
(it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall
include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good standing of the
Company and its subsidiaries; the qualification of the Company and its
subsidiaries to transact business as foreign corporations; the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type
referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; assuming due authorization,
authentication, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, the due
9

enforceability, of the applicable Securities; the absence of material legal
or governmental proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries; the
absence of governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection
with the Shelf Registration Statement, the offering and sale of the
applicable Securities, or any agreement of the type referred to in Section
3(o) hereof; the compliance in all material respects as to form of such
Shelf Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by reference
therein and of the Indenture with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Trust Indenture Act, respectively; and, as of the date of the
opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or
most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, the
absence from such Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus included
therein, as then amended or supplemented, and from any documents
incorporated by reference therein of an untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the
case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at
the time that such documents were filed with the Commission under the
Exchange Act); (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary
documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any
underwriters of the applicable Securities and (iii) its independent public
accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any
other entity for which financial information is provided in the Shelf
Registration Statement to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable
Securities and any underwriter therefor a comfort letter in customary form
and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters in
connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of
appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by
Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72.
(r) In the case of the Registered Exchange Offer, if requested by any
Initial Purchaser or any known Participating Broker-Dealer, the Company
shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver to such Initial Purchaser or such
Participating Broker-Dealer a signed opinion in the form set forth in
Sections 6(c) and (d) of the Purchase Agreement with such changes as are
customary in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement
and (ii) its independent public accountants to deliver to such Initial
Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer a comfort letter, in
customary form, meeting the requirements as to the substance thereof as set
forth in Section 6(a) of the Purchase Agreement, with appropriate date
changes.
(s) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be
consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to the
Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in exchange
for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case
may be, the Company shall xxxx, or caused to be marked, on the Initial
Securities so exchanged that such Initial Securities are being canceled in
exchange for the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as
the case may be; in no event shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid
or otherwise satisfied.
(t) The Company will use its best efforts to (a) if the Initial
Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Initial
Securities, confirm that such ratings will apply to the Securities covered
by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not
previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a Registration Statement
to be rated with the appropriate rating agencies, if so requested by
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered
by such Registration Statement, or by the managing underwriters, if any.
10
(u) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange
Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an
underwriting syndicate or selling group or "assist in the distribution"
(within the meaning of the Conduct Rules (the "Rules") of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")) thereof, whether as a
Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent
or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will
assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules,
including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 2720,
shall so require, engaging a "qualified independent underwriter" (as
defined in Rule 2720) to participate in the preparation of the Registration
Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due
diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering
contemplated by such Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or
is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such
Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to
the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5
hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be
required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of
the Rules.
(v) The Company shall use its best efforts to take all other steps
necessary to effect the registration of the Securities covered by a
Registration Statement contemplated hereby.
4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses
incurred by it in connection with the performance of its obligations under
Sections 1 through 3 hereof (including the reasonable fees and expenses, if any,
of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, counsel for the Initial Purchasers,
incurred in connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, which fees and
expenses shall not exceed $10,000), whether or not the Registered Exchange Offer
or a Shelf Registration is filed or becomes effective, and, in the event of a
Shelf Registration, shall bear or reimburse the Holders of the Securities
covered thereby for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one
firm of counsel designated by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Initial Securities covered thereby to act as counsel for the Holders of the
Initial Securities in connection therewith.
5. Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each Holder of the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each person,
if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each Holder, any
Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to
collectively as the "Holder Indemnified Parties") from and against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect
thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each
Holder Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or in a
prospectus contained in a Registration Statement (a "Prospectus") or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a
Shelf Registration Statement, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall
reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof; provided,
however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent
that such loss, claim, damage, liability or actions in respect thereof arises
out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or
in any amendment or supplement thereto
11
or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder or its
distribution and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder
specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement
or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary
prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or
Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or actions in respect thereof purchased the
Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such
Securities was required to be delivered by such Holder or Participating
Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof of such Holder
or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not sent or
given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of
such Securities to such person, a copy of the final prospectus if the Company
had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating
Broker-Dealer; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be
in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such Holder
Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers
and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above
with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if
requested by such Holders.
(b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or
any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such
controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case
only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information pertaining to such Holder or its distribution and
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for
inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth in the
immediately preceding clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for
any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such
controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any loss,
claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may
otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a
governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under Section
5(a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not, in
any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any liabilities to any
indemnified party otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case
any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies
the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party
will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the
indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice
from the indemnifying
12
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other
than reasonable costs of investigation. In no event shall an indemnifying
party be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition
to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified
parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of
any pending or threatened action 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 any
claims that are the subject matter of such action and does not include a
statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act
by or on behalf of any indemnified party. An indemnifying party shall not
be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior
written consent.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying
party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on
the other from the exchange of the Securities pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause
(i) 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 indemnifying party or parties
on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by such indemnifying party on the one hand or such Holder or such
indemnified party, on the other, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first
sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of
this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
5(d), the Holders of the Securities shall not be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such
Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration
Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have 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 paragraph (d),
each person, if any, who controls such Holder Indemnified Party within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same
rights to contribution as such Holder Indemnified Party and each person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
(e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale
of the
13
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in
full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of
this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.
6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Additional interest
(the "Additional Interest") with respect to the Initial Securities shall be
assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in
clauses (i) through (iii) below, a "Registration Default"):
(i) If by February 15, 2002 (or if such day is not a business day, the
first business day thereafter) neither the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement nor a Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the
Commission;
(ii) If by May 16, 2002 (or if such day is not a business day, the
first business day thereafter) neither the Registered Exchange Offer is
consummated nor, if required in lieu thereof, the Shelf Registration
Statement is declared effective by the Commission; or
(iii) If after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the
Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective (A) such Registration
Statement thereafter ceases to be effective; or (B) such Registration
Statement or the related prospectus ceases to be usable (except as
permitted in paragraph (b)) in connection with resales of Transfer
Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein, in either case,
during the period the applicable registration statement must remain
effective under this Agreement, because either (1) any event occurs as a
result of which the related prospectus forming part of such Registration
Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or
(2) it shall be necessary to amend such Registration Statement or
supplement the related prospectus, to comply with the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder.
Additional Interest shall accrue on the Initial Securities over and above the
interest set forth in the title of the Securities from and including the date on
which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on
which all such Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate of 0.50% per
annum.
(b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(iii)(B) hereof
shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a
Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such
Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a
post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to
incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the
Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs
to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related prospectus or
(y) other material events, with respect to the Company that would need to
be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus
and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and
in good faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and
related prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any
case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess
of 30 days, Additional Interest shall be payable in accordance with the
above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such
Registration Default is cured.
(c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (i),
(ii) or (iii) of Section 6(a) above will be payable in cash on the regular
interest payment dates with respect to the Initial
14
Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by
multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount
of the Initial Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during
such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360.
(d) "Transfer Restricted Securities" means each Security until (i) the
date on which such Transfer Restricted Security has been exchanged by a
person other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable Exchange
Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a
broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer of an Initial Security for
an Exchange Security, 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) the date on which such Initial Security has
been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in
accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the date on which
such Initial Securities is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act.
7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its 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 Company is not required to file such
reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, make
publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of
their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it
will take such further action as any Holder of Initial Securities may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell Initial Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the
requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this
Agreement to prospective purchasers of Initial Securities identified to the
Company by the Initial Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder
of Initial Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written
statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company
to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.
8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted 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
administer the offering ("Managing Underwriters") will be selected by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer Restricted
Securities to be included in such offering with the consent of the Company,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
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.
9. 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, except by the Company and the
written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
15
amount of the Securities affected by such amendment, modification,
supplement, waiver or consents.
(b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, first-class
mail, facsimile transmission, or air courier which guarantees overnight
delivery:

(c) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company hereby agrees that any
Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Initial
Purchasers, include only those Securities required to be included
thereunder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Company has not, as
of the date hereof, entered into, nor shall it, on or after the date
hereof, enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise
conflicts with the provisions hereof.
(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon each
of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(f) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(g) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO

(h) Severability. If 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.
(i) Securities Held by the Company or its Affiliates. Whenever the
consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal
amount of Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the Company
or its affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such
subsequent Holders are deemed to be affiliates solely by reason of their
holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether
such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required
percentage.
(j) Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of
Immunities. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company
(i) acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, irrevocably
designated and appointed Terex Corporation (and any successor entity), as
its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that may be
instituted in any federal or state court in the State of New York or
brought under federal or state securities laws, and acknowledges that Terex
Corporation has accepted such designation, (ii) submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit or proceeding, and (iii)
agrees that service of process upon Terex Corporation and written notice of
said service to the Company shall be deemed in every respect effective
service of process upon it in any such suit or proceeding. The Company
further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and
filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary
to continue such designation and appointment of Terex Corporation in full
force and effect so long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding. To
the extent that the Company may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of
any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice,
attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or
otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, it hereby irrevocably
17
waives such immunity in respect of this Agreement, to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
18
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement,
please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this
instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among
the several Initial Purchasers, the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with
its terms.
Very truly yours,

ANNEX A
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the 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 Initial Securities
where such Initial Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed
that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it
will make this Prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection
with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."
ANNEX B
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in
exchange for Securities, where such Initial Securities were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection
with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See "Plan of Distribution."
ANNEX C
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account
pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 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 Initial Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has
agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make
this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for
use in connection with any such resale.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange
Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for
their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time
in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a
combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time
of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated
prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through
brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or
concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange
Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were
received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker
or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be
deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any
profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission or
concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by
acknowledging that it will deliver 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.
For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the Company will
promptly send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents
in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses
incident to the Exchange Offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the
Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers
or dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Securities (including any
broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.

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 Initial
Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities, it acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus
in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities; 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.
