such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 60th day after such filing
was required to be made (but in no event prior to August 1 or after September 30 of any calendar year), provided
that if the Issuer has not consummated such Exchange Offer on or before April 5, 2009, then the Issuer will file the
Shelf Registration Statement with the Commission on or before April 5, 2009 (but in no event prior to August 1 or
after September 30 of any calendar year). The Issuer will use its best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration
Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended until the first anniversary of the effective date of the
Shelf Registration Statement or such shorter period that will terminate when all the Registrable Securities (as
defined below) covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto or may be sold pursuant
to Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act if held by a non-affiliate of the Issuer; provided that the Issuer shall not be
obligated to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective, supplemented or amended during any period prior to
August 1 or after September 30 of any calendar year.
If (i) the Issuer is not permitted to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate such
Exchange Offer because such Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, (ii) such

Issuer will use its best efforts (1) to file with the Commission a shelf registration statement (the "Shelf Registration

was required to be made; provided that the Issuer shall not be obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement, or to
cause a Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, during any period prior to August 1 or after September 30
of any calendar year. For purposes of the foregoing, "Registrable Securities" means each Security until (i) the date
