2. Exchange Offer
(a) The Issuers shall file with the SEC, no later than the Filing Date, a Registration Statement
(the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) on an appropriate registration form with
respect to a registered offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange any and all of the
Registrable Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of notes of the Company, guaranteed by
the Guarantors, that are identical in all material respects to the Securities, except that the
Exchange Notes shall contain no restrictive legend thereon and no provision for payment of
additional interest in the event of a registration default (the “Exchange Notes”), and
which are entitled to the benefits of the Indenture or a trust indenture which is identical in all
material respects to the Indenture (other than such changes to the Indenture or any such identical
trust indenture as are necessary to comply with the TIA) and which, in either case, has been
qualified under the TIA. Interest on each Exchange Note will accrue (A) from the later of (1) the
last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Note surrendered, or (2) if the Note
is surrendered for exchange on a date in a period which includes the record date for an interest
payment date to occur on or after the date of the exchange and as to which interest will be paid,
such interest payment date or (B) if no interest has been paid on that Note, from the Issue Date.
The Exchange Offer shall comply with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the
Exchange Act and other applicable laws. The Issuers shall use their reasonable best efforts to (x)
cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act
on or before the Effectiveness Date; (y) keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for not less
than 30 days (or longer if required by applicable law) after the date that notice of the Exchange
Offer is mailed to Holders; and (z) consummate the Exchange Offer on or before November 22, 2006.
If, after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is initially declared effective by the SEC, the
Exchange Offer or the issuance of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) thereunder is
interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other
governmental agency or court, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed not to have
become effective for purposes of this Agreement.
Each Holder that participates in the Exchange Offer will be required, as a condition to its
participation in the Exchange Offer, to represent to the Company in writing (which may be contained
in the applicable letter of transmittal) (1) that any Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be
received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (2) that at the time of the
consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder will have no arrangement or understanding with any
Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) in
violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, (3) that such Holder is not an
“affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of any Issuer,
(4) if the holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage
in, the distribution of Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and (5) if the holder is a
broker-dealer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”) that it will receive the Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees) for its own account in exchange for Securities that were acquired as a
result of market-making or other trading activities, and that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees).
- 5 -
Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with this Section 2, the provisions of
this Agreement shall continue to apply, mutatis mutandis, solely with respect to
Registrable Securities that are Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees) as to which Section 2(c)(iv) is applicable and Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) held by Participating Broker-Dealers, and the Issuers shall have no further obligation
to register Registrable Securities (other than Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and
other than in respect of any Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) as to which clause 2(c)(iv)
hereof applies) pursuant to Section 3 hereof.
No securities other than the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) shall be included in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement; provided, however that if the Company issues under the
Indenture additional 5.95% Senior Notes due 2011 (and related guarantees) that are identical in all
material respects to the Notes and have the same CUSIP number as the Notes (“Additional
Notes”), the Company may include in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement a like aggregate
principal amount of notes of the Company, guaranteed by the Guarantors, that are identical in all
material respects to the Additional Notes, except that such notes shall contain no restrictive
legend thereon, provided further, however, that the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) as
defined in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2006, by and among the
Company, the guarantors named therein and the Initial Purchasers relating to the Company’s 6.50%
Senior Notes due 2016 may be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The period of
resale restrictions applicable to any Notes previously offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A
under the Securities Act shall automatically be extended to the last day of the period of any
resale restrictions imposed on such Additional Notes.
(b) The Issuers shall include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement a section entitled “Plan of Distribution,” reasonably acceptable to the Initial
Purchasers, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the
staff of the SEC with respect to the potential “underwriter” status of any Participating
Broker-Dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of
Exchange Notes received by such Participating Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, whether such
positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the SEC or such positions or
policies represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC. Such “Plan of Distribution”
section shall also expressly permit, to the extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations
of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act with respect to the Exchange Notes, including, to the extent
permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, all Participating Broker-Dealers, and
include a statement describing the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the
Exchange Notes in compliance with the Securities Act.
The Issuers shall use their 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 with respect to the Exchange Notes for such period of time as is necessary to
comply with applicable law in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes covered thereby;
provided, however, that such period shall not exceed 180 days after such
- 6 -
Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective (or such longer period if extended
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 5 hereof) (the “Applicable Period”).
If, prior to consummation of the Exchange Offer, any Holder holds any Registrable Securities
acquired by it that have, or that are reasonably likely to be determined to have, the status of an
unsold allotment in an initial distribution, or any Holder is not entitled to participate in the
Exchange Offer, the Issuers upon the request of any such Holder shall simultaneously with the
delivery of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, issue and deliver to any such Holder, in
exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for such Registrable Securities held by any such Holder,
a like principal amount of notes (the “Private Exchange Notes”) of the Company, guaranteed
by the Guarantors, that are identical in all material respects to the Exchange Notes except for the
placement of a restrictive legend on such Private Exchange Notes. The Private Exchange Notes shall
be issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Exchange Notes and bear the same CUSIP number as
the Exchange Notes.
In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers shall:
(i) mail, or cause to be mailed, to each Holder of record entitled to participate
in the Exchange Offer a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and
related documents;
(ii) use their best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer open for acceptance for not
less than 30 days after the date that notice of the Exchange Offer is mailed to
Holders (or longer if required by applicable law);
(iii) utilize the services of a depositary for the Exchange Offer with an address in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York;
(iv) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close
of business, New York time, on the last business day on which the Exchange Offer
shall remain open; and
(v) otherwise comply in all material respects with all laws, rules and regulations
applicable to the Exchange Offer.
As soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange, if any,
the Issuers shall:
(vi) accept for exchange all Registrable Securities that are validly tendered and
not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange, if
any;
(vii) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities so accepted
for exchange; and
- 7 -
(viii) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of
Securities that are accepted for exchange, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees), as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the
Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange.
The Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and the Private Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) shall be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical in all material
respects to the Indenture and which, in either case, has been qualified under the TIA or is exempt
from such qualification and shall provide that the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) shall
not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture or such
indenture shall provide that the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), the Private Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees) and the Securities shall vote and consent together on all matters as
one class and that none of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), the Private Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees) or the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a separate
class on any matter.
(c) If, (i) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing interpretations by the SEC
staff, the Issuers are not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not
consummated by November 22, 2006, (iii) in certain circumstances, certain holders of Private
Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) so request in writing to the Company, or (iv) in the case
of any Holder that tenders Securities in response to the Exchange Offer, such Holder does not
receive Exchange Notes on the date of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state
and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of
any of the Issuers within the meaning of the Securities Act), then in the case of each of clauses
(i) to and including (iv) of this sentence, the Issuers shall (a) promptly deliver to the Holders
and the Trustee written notice thereof (the “Shelf Notice”) and (b) at its sole expense and
as promptly as practicable shall file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) a Filing Date or
Effectiveness Date (or other date by which a filing is to be made or become effective) would fall
on a day that is not a Business Day or (ii) the date by which the Exchange Offer is to be
consummated would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such Filing Date, Effectiveness Date
(or other date by which a filing is to be made or become effective) or consummation date shall
instead be the next succeeding Business Day.
3. Shelf Registration
If at any time a Shelf Notice is delivered as contemplated by Section 2(c) hereof, then:
(a) Shelf Registration. The Issuers shall file with the SEC a Registration Statement for
an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable
Securities not exchanged in the Exchange Offer, Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and
Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) as to which Section 2(c)(iv) is applicable (the
“Initial Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its best efforts to file
with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration Statement on or before the applicable Filing Date.
- 8 -
The Initial Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-1 or another appropriate form
permitting registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by Holders in the manner or
manners designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings).
The Issuers shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Securities to be included in
the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement (as defined
below); provided, however that if the Company issues Additional Notes, the Company may include the
Additional Notes in the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement.
The Issuers shall use their best efforts to cause the Initial Shelf Registration Statement to
be declared effective under the Securities Act on or before the Effectiveness Date and to keep the
Initial Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date
which is two years from the Issue Date (the “Effectiveness Period”), or such shorter period
ending when (i) all Registrable Securities covered by the Initial Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration Statement
or (ii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities
covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or an earlier Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act;
provided, however, that the Effectiveness Period in respect of the Initial Shelf
Registration Statement shall be extended to the extent required to permit dealers to comply with
the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of Rule 174 under the Securities Act and as
otherwise provided herein.
(b) Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any
Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during
the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the securities registered
thereunder), the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within 30 days of such cessation of
effectiveness amend the Initial Shelf Registration Statement in a manner to obtain the withdrawal
of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file an additional “shelf” Registration
Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Securities covered by and not sold
under the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or an earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration
Statement (each, a “Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement”). If a Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as
practicable after such filing and to keep such subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously
effective for a period equal to the number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate
number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration Statement or any Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement was previously continuously effective. As used herein the term “Shelf
Registration Statement” means the Initial Shelf Registration Statement and any Subsequent Shelf
Registration Statement.
(c) Supplements and Amendments. The Issuers shall promptly supplement and amend any Shelf
Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used for such Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the Securities Act, or
if reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
- 9 -
amount of the Registrable Securities (or their counsel) covered by such Registration Statement
or by any underwriter of such Registrable Securities.
4. Additional Interest
(a) The Issuers and the Initial Purchasers agree that the Holders will suffer damages if the
Issuers fail to fulfill their obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not
be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, the Issuers agree
to pay, as liquidated damages, additional interest on the Notes (“Additional Interest”)
under the circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall be given independent
effect):
(i) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf
Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC on or before the applicable
Filing Date or (B) notwithstanding that the Issuers have consummated or will
consummate the Exchange Offer, the Issuers are required to file a Shelf Registration
Statement and such Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC on
or before the Filing Date applicable thereto, then, commencing on the day after any
such Filing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the
Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following
each such Filing Date, and such Additional Interest rate shall increase by an
additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period; or
(ii) if (A) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC on or before the
applicable Effectiveness Date or (B) notwithstanding that the Issuers have
consummated or will consummate the Exchange Offer, the Issuers are required to file
a Shelf Registration Statement and such Shelf Registration Statement has not been
declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Date with
respect to such Shelf Registration Statement, then, commencing on the day after such
Effectiveness Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the
Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days immediately following
the day after such Effectiveness Date, and such Additional Interest rate shall
increase by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day
period; or
(iii) if (A) the Issuers have not exchanged Exchange Notes (and related guarantees)
for all Registrable Securities validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the
Exchange Offer on or before November 22, 2006 or (B) if applicable, a Shelf
Registration Statement has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration
Statement ceases to be effective at any time during the Effectiveness Period, then,
Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Securities at a rate
of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days commencing on (x) November 22, 2006, in the
case of (A) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be
effective in the case of (B) above, and such
- 10 -
Additional Interest rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum at the
beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period;
provided, however, that Additional Interest on the Notes may not under any
circumstance accrue under more than one of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this
Section 4 and the rate at which Additional Interest accrues on the Notes as a result of the
provisions of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4 may not exceed in the aggregate 1.0%
per annum; provided further, that (1) upon the filing of the applicable Exchange
Offer Registration Statement or the applicable Shelf Registration Statement as required hereunder
(in the case of clause (i) of this Section 4), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement or the applicable Shelf Registration Statement as required hereunder (in the
case of clause (ii) of this Section 4), or (3) upon the exchange of the Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) for all Securities tendered (in the case of clause (iii)(A) of this Section 4), or upon
the effectiveness of a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement in the case of Shelf Registration
Statement which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clause (iii)(B) of this Section 4),
Additional Interest on the Registrable Notes as a result of such clause (or the relevant subclause
thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue.
(b) The Issuers shall notify the Trustee within three business days after each and every date on
which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is required to be paid (an “Event
Date”), which notice shall also be at least three business days prior to the date of any
payment to be made in accordance with the following sentence. Any amounts of Additional Interest
due pursuant to (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this Section 4 will be payable in cash
simultaneously with, and to the same persons entitled to receive, stated interest on the Notes,
commencing with the first such payment of interest occurring after any such Additional Interest
commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest payable with respect to Registrable Notes
will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount
of the Registrable Notes, 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, in the case of a partial month, the actual
number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360.
5. Registration Procedures
In connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2 or 3
hereof, the Issuers shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of the securities covered
thereby in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant
thereto and in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Issuers hereunder each of
the Issuers shall:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC before the applicable Filing Date, a Registration Statement or
Registration Statements as prescribed by Sections 2 or 3 hereof, and use its best efforts to cause
each such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein;
provided, however, that, if (1) such filing is pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2)
a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating
- 11 -
Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable
Period relating thereto, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments
or supplements thereto, the Issuers shall furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the
case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, a reasonable opportunity to
review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by
reference therein and all exhibits thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least five days
prior to such filing, or such later date as is reasonable under the circumstances). The Issuers
shall not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto if
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in
such Registration Statement, or any such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their
counsel, or the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf
Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be
necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period
or the Applicable Period, as the case may be; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by
any Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant
to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to each of them
with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement as so
amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any
securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer covered by any such Prospectus. The Issuers
shall be deemed not to have used their best efforts to keep a Registration Statement effective
during the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be, relating thereto, if
any of the Issuers voluntarily takes any action that would result in selling Holders of the
Registrable Securities covered thereby or Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees) not being able to sell such Registrable Securities or such Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees) during that period unless such action is required by applicable law
or permitted by this Agreement.
(c) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period relating thereto
from whom any of the Issuers has received written notice that it will be a Participating
Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, notify the selling Holders of Registrable Securities, or each
such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, their counsel and the managing underwriters,
if any, promptly (but in any event within one day), and confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a
Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with
respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective under the Securities Act (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder
may, upon request, obtain, at the sole expense of the Issuers, one conformed copy of such
Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules,
documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference and exhibits), (ii) of the
issuance by the SEC of any stop order
- 12 -
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or
suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose, (iii) if at any time when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered
in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities or resales of Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) by Participating Broker-Dealers, the representations and warranties of the Issuers
contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 5(l)
hereof cease to be true and correct in all material respects, (iv) of the receipt by any of the
Issuers of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Securities or the Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in
any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the
happening of any event, the existence of any condition or any information becoming known that makes
any statement made in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or
that requires the making of any changes in or amendments or supplements to such Registration
Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of
the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the Issuers’
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
(d) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, use its best
efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or suspending the
qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities or the
Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer, for sale in
any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use its best efforts to obtain the
withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment.
(e) If a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 and if requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten offering or any
Participating Broker-Dealer, (i) as promptly as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any),
such Holders, any Participating Broker-Dealer or counsel for any of them reasonably request to be
included therein, (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the
matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, and (iii)
supplement or make amendments to such Registration Statement.
- 13 -
(f) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, furnish to each
selling Holder of Registrable Securities and to each such Participating Broker-Dealer who so
requests and to their respective counsel and each managing underwriter, if any, at the sole expense
of the Issuers, one conformed copy of the Registration Statement or Registration Statements and
each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if
requested, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all
exhibits.
(g) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, deliver to each
selling Holder of Registrable Securities, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may
be, their respective counsel, and the underwriters, if any, at the sole expense of the Issuers, as
many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of preliminary prospectus) and
each amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein as such
Persons may reasonably request; and, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 5, the Issuers
hereby consent to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of
the selling Holders of Registrable Securities or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case
may be, and the underwriters or agents, if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the
offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by, or the sale by Participating
Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) pursuant to, such Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) or any delivery of a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during
the Applicable Period, use its best efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the
selling Holders of Registrable Securities or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may
be, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection
with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of
such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any selling Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer, or the
managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request in writing; provided,
however, that where Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) held by Participating
Broker-Dealers or Registrable Securities are offered other than through an underwritten offering,
the Issuers agree to cause their counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and file registrations
and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 5(h), keep each such registration
or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement
is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) held by Participating Broker-Dealers or the Registrable Securities covered by the
applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that none of the Issuers
- 14 -
shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not
then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in excess of a
nominal dollar amount in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(i) If a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, cooperate with the
selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be
sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for
deposit with The Depository Trust Company; and enable such Registrable Notes to be in such
denominations permitted by the Indenture and registered in such names as the managing underwriter
or underwriters, if any, or Holders may request, provided, however, that the Registrable Notes are
also transferable by delivery through means other than on the records of the Depository Trust
Company or another clearing agency, in which case such preparation and delivery of certificates
representing the Registrable Notes shall not be required.
(j) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, upon the
occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph 5(c)(v) or 5(c)(vi) hereof, as promptly as
practicable prepare and (subject to Section 5(a) hereof) file with the SEC, at the sole expense of
the Issuers, a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement
to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers
of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes (and
related guarantees) to whom such Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer, any
such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(k) Prior to the effective date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable
Securities, (i) provide the Trustee with certificates for the Registrable Notes in a form eligible
for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and (ii) provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable
Notes.
(l) In connection with any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf
Registration Statement, enter into an underwriting agreement which is customary in underwritten
offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Issuers and take all such other actions as are reasonably requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the
disposition of such Registrable Securities and, in such connection, (i) make such representations
and warranties to, and covenants with, the underwriters with respect to the business of the Issuers
(including any acquired business, properties or entity, if applicable) and the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus and the documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to
- 15 -
be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, as are customarily made by issuers to
underwriters in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Securities, and confirm
the same in writing if and when requested in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Issuers; (ii) obtain the written opinions of counsel to the Issuers and written updates thereof in
form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters,
addressed to the underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions reasonably
requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the
managing underwriter or underwriters; (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof in
form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter or underwriters from
the independent certified public accountants of the Issuers (and, if necessary, any other
independent certified public accountants of the Issuers, or of any business or entity acquired by
the Issuers for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included
or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the underwriters,
such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold
comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the
Securities and such other matters as are reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters as permitted by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72, as amended by the
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 76; and (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the
same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable to the sellers and
underwriters, if any, than those set forth in Section 7 hereof (or such other provisions and
procedures acceptable to Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters or
agents, if any). The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting agreement, or as
and to the extent required thereunder.
(m) If (1) a Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof, or (2) a
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2
hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who
seeks to sell Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) during the Applicable Period, make available
for inspection by any selling Holder of such Registrable Securities being sold, or each such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, any underwriter participating in any such
disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained
by any such selling Holder or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, or
underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), at the offices where normally kept, during
reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
instruments of the Issuers and subsidiaries of the Issuers (collectively, the “Records”) as
shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise any applicable due diligence
responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Issuers and any of their
respective subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in
connection with such Registration Statement and Prospectus. Each Inspector shall agree in writing
that it will keep the Records confidential and that it will not disclose any of the Records that
any of the Issuers determines, in good faith, to be confidential and notifies the Inspectors in
writing are confidential unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct
a material misstatement or material omission in such Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the
release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent
jurisdiction, or (iii) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the
- 16 -
public; provided, however, that prior notice shall be provided as soon as
practicable to any of the Issuers of the potential disclosure of any information by such Inspector
pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of this sentence to permit the Issuers to obtain a protective order
(or waive the provisions of this paragraph (m)) and that such Inspector shall take such actions as
are reasonably necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information (if practicable) to the
extent such action is otherwise not inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the
rights and interests of the Holder or any Inspector. If, in the course of performing due
diligence, any Inspector becomes aware of material non public information about the Company and its
subsidiaries, the Inspector will not, and will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that
anyone to whom the Inspector discloses the material non public information will not, trade in any
securities of the Company until the information becomes public (whether through inclusion in the
Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Offer Registration Statement or otherwise) or the
information ceases to be material.
(n) Provide an indenture trustee for the Registrable Securities or the Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees), as the case may be, and cause the Indenture or the trust indenture provided for in
Section 2(a) hereof, as the case may be, to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective
date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities; and in connection
therewith, cooperate with the trustee under any such indenture and the Holders of the Registrable
Securities, to effect such changes to such indenture as may be required for such indenture to be so
qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use their best efforts to cause
such trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other
forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable such indenture to be so qualified
in a timely manner.
(o) Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make
generally available to its securityholders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, a
consolidated earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act
and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 45
days after the end of any fiscal quarter (or 90 days after the end of any 12-month period if such
period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable
Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering and
(ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first
fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which
statements shall cover said 12-month periods.
(p) Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange, obtain an opinion of counsel to
the Company, in a form customary for underwritten transactions, addressed to the Trustee for the
benefit of all Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Exchange Offer or the Private
Exchange, as the case may be, that the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) or Private Exchange
Notes (and related guarantees), as the case may be, and the related indenture constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications.
- 17 -
(q) If the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the
Registrable Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the
Issuers) to be exchanged for Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) or Private Exchange Notes (and
related guarantees), as the case may be, the Issuers shall xxxx, or cause to be marked, on such
Registrable Notes that such Registrable Notes are being canceled in exchange for Exchange Notes
(and related guarantees) or Private Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), as the case may be; in
no event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied.
(r) Cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement and
each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their
respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”).
(s) Use its best efforts to take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration
of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and/or Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement contemplated hereby.
The Issuers may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is
being effected to furnish to the Issuers such information regarding such seller and the
distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Issuers may, from time to time, reasonably
request. The Issuers may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any seller
so long as such seller fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving
such request. Each seller as to which any Shelf Registration is being effected agrees to furnish
promptly to the Issuers all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information
previously furnished to the Issuers by such seller not materially misleading.
If any Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any
securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion
therein of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, to the effect
that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by
such Holder of the investment quality of the securities covered thereby and that such holding does
not imply that such Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company,
or (ii) in the event that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the
Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such
Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement filed or prepared subsequent to
the time that such reference ceases to be required.
Each Holder of Registrable Securities and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by its
acquisition of such Registrable Securities or of Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold
by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon actual receipt of any notice
from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5(c)(ii), 5(c)(iv),
5(c)(v), or 5(c)(vi) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus or Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) to be sold by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, until
such Holder’s or Participating Broker-Dealer’s receipt of the
- 18 -
copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 5(j) hereof, or until
it is advised in writing (an “Advice”) by the Issuers that the use of the applicable
Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto. In
the event that the Issuers shall give any such notice, the Applicable Period shall be extended by
the number of days from and including the date of the giving of each such notice to and including
the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or
Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold by such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case
may be, shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated
by Section 5(j) hereof or (y) an Advice with respect to said notice.
6. Registration Expenses
All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the
Issuers (other than any underwriting discounts or commissions) shall be borne by the Company
whether or not the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or any Shelf Registration Statement is
filed or becomes effective or the Exchange Offer is consummated, including, without limitation, (i)
all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, (A) fees with respect to filings
required to be made with the NASD in connection with an underwritten offering and (B) reasonable
fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without
limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the
Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) and determination of the
eligibility of the Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) for investment
under the laws of the jurisdictions (x) where the holders of Registrable Securities are located, in
the case of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), or (y) as provided in Section 5(h) hereof,
in the case of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) to be sold by a
Participating Broker-Dealer during the Applicable Period)), (ii) printing expenses, including,
without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes in a
form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses if the
printing of prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities included in any
Registration Statement or in respect of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer during the Applicable Period, as the case
may be, (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Issuers and reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of special counsel for the
sellers of Registrable Securities and any Participating Broker Dealers, (v) fees and disbursements
of all independent certified public accountants referred to in Section 5(l)(iii) hereof (including,
without limitation, the expenses of any special audit and “cold comfort” letters required by or
incident to such performance), (vi) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Issuers desire such
insurance, (vii) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Issuers, (viii) internal
expenses of the Issuers (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of officers and
employees of the Issuers performing legal or accounting duties), (ix) the expense of any annual
audit, (x) any fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be
registered on any securities exchange, and the obtaining of a rating of the securities, in each
case, if applicable, and (xi) the expenses relating to printing, word processing and distributing
all Registration Statements,
- 19 -
underwriting agreements, indentures and any other documents necessary in order to comply with
this Agreement.
7. Indemnification
(a) Each of the Issuers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder
of Registrable Securities and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees) during the Applicable Period, the affiliates, officers, directors, representatives,
employees and agents of each such Person, and each Person, if any, who controls any such Person
within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
(each, a “Participant”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable legal fees and other
expenses actually incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted)
caused by, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or Prospectus (as
amended or supplemented if any of the Issuers shall have made any amendments or supplements
thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by, arising out of or based upon any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Participant, any
underwriter, or the manner in which securities are to be distributed, furnished to the Issuers in
writing by such Participant or an underwriter expressly for use therein.
(b) Each Participant agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the
Issuers, their respective affiliates, officers, directors, representatives, employees and agents
and each Person who controls the Issuers within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent (but on a several, and not joint, basis) as the
foregoing indemnity from the Issuers to each Participant, but only with reference to information
relating to such Participant or the manner in which securities are to be distributed by such
Participant or someone acting on such Participant’s behalf, furnished to the Issuers in writing by
such Participant expressly for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus. The liability of any Participant under this
paragraph shall in no event exceed the proceeds received by such Participant from sales of
Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) giving rise to such obligations.
(c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation),
claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnity may
be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such Person (the “Indemnified
Person”) shall promptly notify the Persons against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
“Indemnifying Persons”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Persons, upon request of the
Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to
represent the Indemnified Person and any others the Indemnifying Persons may reasonably
- 20 -
designate (which may include the Indemnifying Persons, unless representation of the
Indemnifying Persons by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them) in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses actually
incurred by such counsel related to such proceeding; provided, however, that the
failure to so notify the Indemnifying Persons (i) will not relieve them from any liability under
paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by an
Indemnifying Person of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve any
Indemnifying Person from any obligations to any Indemnified Person other than the indemnification
obligation provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) above. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified
Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Persons and the
Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Persons shall
have failed within a reasonable period of time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both any Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person or any affiliate thereof
and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. It is understood that, unless there exists a conflict
among the Indemnified Persons, the Indemnifying Persons shall not, in connection with such
proceeding or separate but substantially similar related proceeding in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such
fees and expenses shall be reimbursed promptly as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for
the Participants against whom a suit, action, proceeding, claim or demand is brought or asserted
and control Persons of such Participants shall be designated in writing by Participants who sold a
majority in interest of Registrable Securities and Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) sold by
all such Participants, and any such separate firm for the Issuers, their affiliates, officers,
directors, representatives, employees and agents and such control Persons of the Issuers shall be
designated in writing by the Issuers.
The Indemnifying Persons shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without their prior written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff for which any Indemnified Persons are entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Indemnifying Persons agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Persons, effect any settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened proceeding in
respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party, or indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional
written release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and
(B) does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or
on behalf of such Indemnified Person.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 7 is
for any reason unavailable to, or insufficient to hold harmless, an Indemnified Person in respect
of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
- 21 -
Indemnifying Person under such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person
thereunder and in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by
the Indemnifying Person or Persons on the one hand and the Indemnified Person or Persons on the
other from the applicable offering of Registrable or Exchanged Notes or (ii) if the allocation
provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative
benefits but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Person or Persons on the one hand and the
Indemnified Person or Persons on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or
alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) 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 the Company on the one hand or such Participant or such
other Indemnified Person, as the case may be, on the other, the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission,
and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.
(e) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Participants were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages,
judgments, liabilities and expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be
deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other
expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending
any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall a
Participant be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which proceeds received
by such Participant from sales of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related
guarantees), as the case may be, exceeds the amount of any damages that such Participant has
otherwise been required to pay or has paid by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses for which an indemnified party is
entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 7 shall be paid by the Indemnifying
Person to the Indemnified Person as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are
incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 and the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative
and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any
Holder or any person who controls a Holder, or by the Company, its directors, officers, employees
or agents or any person controlling any of the Issuers, and (ii) any termination of this Agreement.
- 22 -
(g) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 will be in addition to
any liability which the Indemnifying Persons may otherwise have to the Indemnified Persons referred
to above.
8. Rules 144 and 144A
Each of the Issuers covenants and agrees that it will file the reports required to be filed by
it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC
thereunder in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and, if at any time such Issuer is not required to file such reports, such Issuer
will, upon the request of any Holder or beneficial owner of Registrable Securities, make available
such information as is necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
The Company further covenants and agrees, for so long as any Registrable Securities remain
outstanding, that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell
Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the
exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144(k) and Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be
amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.
9. Underwritten Registrations
If any of the Registrable 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 manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of such Registrable Securities included in such offering and shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Issuers.
No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in
any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such
arrangements and (b) completes and executes in a timely manner all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other customary documents required by the
Company or the underwriter in connection with such underwriting arrangements.
10. Miscellaneous
(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuers have not, as of the date hereof, and the
Issuers shall not, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to any
of their securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable
Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted
to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights
granted to the holders of the Issuers’ other issued and outstanding securities under any such
agreements. The Issuers will not enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities
which will grant to any Person piggyback registration rights with respect to any Registration
Statement; provided, however that the Company may enter into an agreement in
- 23 -
connection with the issuance of Additional Notes which will grant the holders of the
Additional Notes the right to have them included in a Registration Statement.
(b) Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Issuers shall not, directly or
indirectly, take any action with respect to the Registrable Securities as a class that would
adversely affect the ability of the Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable
Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified
or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
otherwise than with the prior written consent of (I) the Company and (II)(A) the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Registrable Securities
and (B) if the amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent would adversely affect the
Participating Broker-Dealers, the Participating Broker-Dealers holding not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes (and related guarantees) held by all Participating
Broker-Dealers; provided, however, that Section 7 and this Section 10(c) may not be
amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of each Holder and each
Participating Broker-Dealer (including any person who was a Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer
of Registrable Securities or Exchange Notes (and related guarantees), as the case may be, disposed
of pursuant to any Registration Statement) affected by any such amendment, modification or
supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable
Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not
directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders of
Registrable Securities may be given by Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such Registration Statement.
(d) Notices. All notices and other communications (including, without limitation, any
notices or other communications to the Trustee) provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made
