(i)       that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Notes validly tendered will be accepted for exchange;
 
(ii)       the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at least 20 business days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Exchange Dates”);
 
(iii)       that any Registrable Note not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Notes, but will not retain any rights under this Agreement;

 interpretation of the Staff of the SEC.  The Operating Partnership shall inform the Initial Purchasers, if requested by the Initial Purchasers, of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Initial Purchasers shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable Notes in the Exchange Offer.
 
(b)           In the event that (i) the Operating Partnership determines that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be consummated as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate applicable law or the applicable interpretations of the Staff of the SEC, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason consummated on or prior to 180 days after the Closing Date, or (iii) in the opinion of counsel for the Initial Purchasers a Registration Statement must be filed and a Prospectus must be delivered by the Initial Purchasers in connection with any offering or sale of Registrable Notes, the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors shall cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or notice of such opinion of counsel is given to the Operating Partnership, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Notes and use their commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC.  In the event the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement solely as a result of the matters referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors shall file and use their commercially reasonable efforts to have declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Notes and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Notes held by the Initial Purchasers after completion of the Exchange Offer.  The Operating Partnership and the Guarantors agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date that is one year after the first date on which such Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective or such earlier date when all of the Registrable Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.  The Operating Partnership and the Guarantors further agree to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the 1933 Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable.  The Operating Partnership agrees to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Notes copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.
 
(c)           The Operating Partnership and the Guarantors shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b).  Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

(d)           An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that, if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have become effective during the period of such interference until the offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume. As provided for in the Indenture, in the event that the Exchange Offer is not consummated, and if a Shelf Registration Statement is required hereby, the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to 180 days after the Closing Date, the interest rate on the Notes (and the Exchange Notes) will increase by 0.5% per annum until the Exchange Offer is consummated or a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective.
 
(e)           Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors acknowledge that any failure to comply with their respective obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the respective obligations of the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.
 
3.           Registration Procedures.  In connection with the obligations of the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors with respect to the Registration Statements pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors shall as expeditiously as possible:
 
(a)           prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the appropriate form under the 1933 Act, which form (x) shall be selected by the Operating Partnership and (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable Notes by the selling Holders thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective in accordance with Section 2 hereof;
 
(b)           prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; to keep each Prospectus current during the period described under Section 4(3) and Rule 174 under the 1933 Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to the Registrable Notes or Exchanges Notes;

(e)           in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Holder of Registrable Notes, counsel for the Holders and counsel for the Initial Purchasers promptly and, if requested by any such Holder or counsel, confirm such advice in writing (i) when such Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after such Registration Statement has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if, between the effective date of such Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Notes covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to the offering cease to be true and correct in any material respect or if the Operating Partnership receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is effective such that such Registration Statement or the related

(i)           in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(e)(v) or (vi) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The Operating Partnership and the Guarantors agree to notify the Holders to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and the Holders hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus upon receipt of such notice until the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors have amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission;

(k)           cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), in connection with the registration of the Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes, as the case may be, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA and execute, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the 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 the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

11


 
such post-effective amendment as soon as the Operating Partnership has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such filing; and
 
(p)           in the case of a Shelf Registration, use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including those requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Notes being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Notes including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (i) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Notes with respect to the business of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings (but in no event more onerous to the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors than those contained in the Purchase Agreement), and confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Notes covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in Underwritten Offerings (but in no event more onerous to the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors than those opinions required in the Purchase Agreement), (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Operating Partnership (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company or the Operating Partnership, or of any business acquired by the Company or the Operating Partnership for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Notes, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with Underwritten Offerings, and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold or the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in Underwritten Offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement.
 
In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Operating Partnership may require each Holder of Registrable Notes to furnish to the Operating Partnership such information regarding such Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Notes as the Operating Partnership may from time to time reasonably request in writing.
 

 

 
12


 
In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Operating Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e)(v) or (vi) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof, and, if so directed by the Operating Partnership, such Holder will deliver to the Operating Partnership (at its expense) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Notes current at the time of receipt of such notice.  The Operating Partnership may suspend the availability of any Shelf Registration Statement for not more than two times during any 365 day period and any such suspensions may not exceed 30 days for each suspension.  If the Operating Partnership shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors shall extend the period during which the Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors shall have made available to the Holders copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions.
 
The Holders of Registrable Notes covered by a Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Notes in an Underwritten Offering; provided that the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be required to use their commercially reasonable efforts to make an Underwritten Offering only upon the request of Holders of at least 25% of the Registrable Notes outstanding at the time such request is delivered to the Operating Partnership.  In the case of any Underwritten Offering, the Operating Partnership shall (x) provide written notice to the Holders of all Registrable Notes of such Underwritten Offering at least 30 days prior to the filing of a prospectus for such Underwritten Offering, (y) specify a date, which shall be no earlier than 10 days following the date of such notice, by which each such Holder must inform the Operating Partnership of its intent to participate in such Underwritten Offering and (z) include reasonable procedures that are customary to underwritten offerings of the type contemplated herein that such Holder must follow in order to participate in such Underwritten Offering.  In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers (each, an “Underwriter” and, collectively, the “Underwriters”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Notes included in such offering and shall be approved by the Operating Partnership, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
4.           Participation of Broker-Dealers In Exchange Offer.
 
  (b)  The Staff of the SEC has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the 1933 Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of such Exchanges Notes.

 The Operating Partnership and the Guarantors understand that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Notes owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the 1933 Act in connection with resales of Exchange Notes for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the 1933 Act.
 
(b)           In light of the above, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors agree that the provisions of this Agreement as they relate to a Shelf Registration shall also apply to an Exchange Offer Registration to the extent, and with such reasonable modifications thereto as may be, reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in each case as provided in clause (ii) below, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Notes by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above; provided that:
 
(i)       None of the Company, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be contemplated by Section 3(i), for a period exceeding 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of Section 3 of this Agreement) and Participating Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the Operating Partnership or the Guarantors to deliver and shall not deliver such Prospectus after such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4; and
 
(ii)       the application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement to an Exchange Offer Registration, to the extent not required by the positions of the Staff of the SEC or the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, will be in conformity with the reasonable request to the Operating Partnership by the Initial Purchasers or with the reasonable request in writing to the Operating Partnership by one or more broker-dealers who certify to the Initial Purchasers, the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors in writing that they anticipate that they will be Participating Broker-Dealers; and provided further that, in connection with such application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 to an Exchange Offer Registration, the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors shall be obligated (x) to deal only with one entity representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. unless it elects not to act as such representative, (y) to pay the fees and expenses of only one counsel representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be counsel to the Initial Purchasers unless such counsel elects not to so act and (z) to cause to be delivered only one, if any, “cold comfort” letter with respect to the Prospectus in the form existing on the last Exchange Date and with respect to each subsequent amendment or supplement, if any, effected during the period specified in clause (i) above.
 

 

 
14


 
(c)           The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Subsidiary Guarantors or any Holder with respect to any request that it may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above.
 
5.           Indemnification and Contribution.  (c)  The Company, the Operating Partnership and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, each Holder and each person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, or is under common control with, or is controlled by, any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Initial Purchaser, any Holder or any such controlling or affiliated person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes were registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Initial Purchaser or any Holder furnished to the Operating Partnership and the Guarantors in writing by such Initial Purchaser or such Holder expressly for use therein.  In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company, the Operating Partnership and each Subsidiary Guarantor will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement.
 
(b)           Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective directors, officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Initial Purchasers and any other selling Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company, the Operating Partnership and each Subsidiary Guarantor to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company and the Operating Partnership in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
 

 

 
15


(c)           In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding.  In any such proceeding, any indemnified party 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 party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party does not, within a reasonable period of time after request of such indemnified party, retain counsel to represent such indemnified party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (A) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Initial Purchasers and all persons, if any, who control the Initial Purchasers within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors, their respective directors and officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors within the meaning of either such Section and (C) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Holders and all persons, if any, who control any Holders within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  In such case involving the Initial Purchasers and persons who control the Initial Purchasers, such firm shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.  In such case involving the Holders and such persons who control Holders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders.  In all other cases, such firm shall be designated by the Operating Partnership.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party for such fees and expenses of counsel in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
 

 

 
16


 
which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statements as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
 
(d)           If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Holders 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, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The Holders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d) are several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Notes of such Holder that were registered pursuant to a Registration Statement.
 
(e)           The Company, the Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which Registrable Notes were sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
 
The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, any Holder or any person controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company, the
 

 

 
17


 
Operating Partnership, the Subsidiary Guarantors, their respective officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Subsidiary Guarantors, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Notes and (iv) any sale of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.
 
6.           Miscellaneous.
 
(a)           Effectiveness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall not become operative until the Release Date.  In the event that the Release Date does not occur prior to December 2, 2009, this Agreement shall be terminated and of no force or effect.
 
(b)           No Inconsistent Agreements.  None of the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Subsidiary Guarantors has entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement will enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Notes 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 other issued and outstanding securities of the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors under any such agreements.
 
(c)           Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Operating Partnership has obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Notes affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided, however, that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consents to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Notes unless consented to in writing by such Holder.
 
(d)           Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, facsimile or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Operating Partnership by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(d), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) if to the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Subsidiary Guarantors initially at the Operating Partnership’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(d).
 
All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given:  at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is confirmed, if faxed; and on the next business day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.
 

 

 
18


 
Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.
 
(e)           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Notes in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement.  If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Notes, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Notes shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Notes such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.  The Initial Purchasers (in their capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement.
 
(f)           Purchases and Sales of Notes. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) not to, purchase and then resell or otherwise transfer any Notes other than Notes acquired and cancelled.
 
(g)           Third Party Beneficiary.  The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.
 
(h)           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.
 
(i)           Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
 
(j)           Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
 
(k)           Severability.  In the event that 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.
