• Registration Obligations The Company expressly agrees to register, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the shares of common stock underlying the options issued herein in a registration statement on Form S-8, if and when available (and all related qualifications under the state securities laws.

• Registration Obligation The Company anticipates filing with the SEC on or before June 1, 2000 a registration statement covering, among other securities, the Registrable Securities in the manner described in Section 3 hereof. Should the Company not file such a registration statement on or before June 1, 2000, then the Company shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC on or before June 15, 2000 a registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities in the manner described in Section 4 hereof and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible thereafter.

• Non-Registration Events The Company and the Subscriber agree that the Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required under Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) above is not filed within 30 days after written request by the Holder and not declared effective by the Commission within 90 days after such request (or the Filing Date and Effective Date, respectively, in reference to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in Section 10.1(iv)), and maintained in the manner and within the time periods contemplated by Section 10 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the Registration Statement described in Sections 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) is not filed within 30 days of such written request, or is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date that is 90 days after such request, or (ii) the registration statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in Section 10.1(iv) is not filed on or before the Filing Date or not declared effective on or before the sooner of the Effective Date, or within five business days of receipt by the Company of a written or oral communication from the Commission that the registration statement described in Section 10.1(iv) will not be reviewed, or (iii) any registration statement described in Sections 10.1(i), 10.1(ii) or 10.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year but not more than 20 consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.4 is referred to herein as a "Non-Registration Event"), then, for so long as such Non-Registration Event shall continue, the Company shall pay, at the Subscriber's option, in cash or stock at the applicable Conversion Price, as Liquidated Damages to each holder of any Registrable Securities an amount equal to two percent (2%) per month or part thereof during the pendency of such Non-Registration Event, of the principal of the Notes issued in connection with the Offering, whether or not converted, then owned of record by such holder or issuable as of or subsequent to the occurrence of such Non-Registration Event. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be due and payable within five (5) business days after demand in immediately available funds. In the event a Mandatory Redemption Payment is demanded from the Company by the Holder pursuant to Section 9.2 of this Subscription Agreement, then the Liquidated Damages described in this Section 10.4 shall no longer accrue on the portion of the Purchase Price underlying the Mandatory Redemption Payment, from and after the date the Holder receives the Mandatory Redemption Payment. It shall also be deemed a Non-Registration Event if at any time a Note is outstanding, there is less than 125% of the amount of Common Shares necessary to allow full conversion of such Note at the then applicable Conversion Price registered for unrestricted resale in an effective registration statement.

• Non-Registration The Shareholder understands that the shares of Parent Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder’s representations as expressed herein.

• Additional Registration Rights If Issuer at any time after the exercise of the Option proposes to register any shares of Issuer Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with an underwritten public offering of such Issuer Common Stock, Issuer will promptly give written notice to Grantee of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of any Selling Stockholder given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock intended to be included in such underwritten public offering by the Selling Stockholder), Issuer will cause all such shares for which a Selling Stockholder requests participation in such registration to be so registered and included in such underwritten public offering; provided, however, that Issuer may elect to not cause any such shares to be so registered (i) if in the reasonable good faith opinion of the underwriters for such offering, the inclusion of all such shares by the Selling Stockholder would materially interfere with the marketing of such offering (in which case Issuer shall register as many shares as possible without materially interfering with the marketing of the offering), or (ii) in the case of a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a registration filed on Form S-4 of the Securities Act or any successor Form. If some but not all the shares of Issuer Common Stock with respect to which Issuer shall have received requests for registration pursuant to this Section 10(b) shall be excluded from such registration, Issuer shall make appropriate allocation of shares to be registered among the Selling Stockholders desiring to register their shares pro rata in the proportion that the number of shares requested to be registered by each such Selling Stockholder bears to the total number of shares requested to be registered by all such Selling Stockholders then desiring to have Issuer Common Stock registered for sale.

• Non-Registration Event The occurrence of a Non-Registration Event as described in Section 11.4 of the Subscription Agreement.

• Priority on Registrations (i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a) hereof, in the case of an Underwritten Offering by the Company of Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares, the managing underwriter or underwriters of the Underwritten Offering may limit the number of Registrable Common Shares included in the Underwritten Offering pursuant to any Registration Statement or qualification if, in its or their reasonable opinion, the number of Registrable Common Shares proposed to be sold in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number that can be sold without materially adversely interfering with the orderly sale and distribution of the securities being offered pursuant to such Registration Statement or qualification. In the event the number is to be so limited in the Underwritten Offering, qualification or registration, a sufficient number of securities shall be eliminated to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering, qualification or registration to the amount recommended by such underwriter. In reducing the amount of securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering, qualification or registration, the Company will include in such Underwritten Offering, qualification or registration (A) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell, and (B) second, to the extent not inconsistent with the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of November 13, 1995 by and among the Company, Partners I and Parallel I, as amended, and all documents related thereto, all Registrable Common Shares Beneficially Owned by Holders requested to be included in the Underwritten Offering, qualification or registration and Common Shares requested to be included by other holders of Common Shares who have registration rights in respect thereof pari passu with the registration rights granted hereby, reduced pro rata according to the number of Registrable Common Shares or Common Shares which are Beneficially Owned by Holders and each such other holder, as the case may be, and requested to be included in such registration or qualification in good faith with the bona fide intention of selling the same.

• Incidental Registration Rights (a) If the Company, for a period of six (6) years commencing one (1) year after the Base Date, proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor forms) whether for its own account or for the account of any holder or holders of its shares other than Registrable Securities (any shares of such holder or holders (but not those of the Company and not Registrable Securities) with respect to any registration are referred to herein as, “Other Shares”), the Company shall at each such time give prompt (but not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effectiveness thereof) written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. The holders of Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided herein by giving written notice within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder). Except as set forth in Section 8.3(b), the Company will use its Reasonable Commercial Efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by such holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 8.3.

• Limitations on Registration Rights Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Representative may not exercise its rights under Section 2.1 and 2.2 hereunder after five (5) and seven (7) years after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Company’s initial public offering, respectively, and (ii) the Representative may not exercise its rights under Section 2.1 more than one time.

• Subsequent Registration Rights Until the Initial Registration Statement required hereunder is declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person without the written consent of Holders representing no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities; provided, that this Section 7(c) shall not prohibit the Company from fulfilling its obligations under any other registration rights agreements existing as of the date hereof.
