thereof, be entitled to the benefits of an Exchange and Registration Rights

Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the

the Company (the "Exchange Securities") and guarantees of each of the Guarantors

which are identical in all material respects to the Securities (except that the

Exchange Securities will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions

or additional interest) and the Guarantors and under certain circumstances, a

shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the

"Shelf Registration Statement").



          Prior to or on the Closing Date (i) the Company's Amended and Restated

Credit Agreement will be amended (the "Credit Agreement Amendment") and (ii) the

Company will repay all outstanding principal and interest on its 10% Senior

Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the "Senior Subordinated Note Repayment"). The
