• 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.

• 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.

• Subsequent Registrations Other than pursuant to the Registration Statement, prior to the Effective Date, the Company may not file any registration statement (other than on Form S-8) with the Commission with respect to any securities of the Company.

• Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are pari passu with or senior to the registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder.

• Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights Other than as provided in Section 5.10, after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder rights to demand the registration of shares of the Company’s capital stock, or to include such shares in a registration statement that would reduce the number of shares includable by the Holders.

• Delay in Filing; Suspension of Registration If the Company shall furnish to the Participating Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or equivalent senior executive officer of the Company stating that the filing, effectiveness or continued use of a Demand Registration Statement would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, then the Company may delay the filing (but not the preparation of) or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the Demand Registration Statement (a “Demand Suspension”); provided, however, that the Company, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Holders of a majority of the Company Shares that elected to participate in the registration in respect of any Demand Suspension, shall not be permitted to exercise aggregate Demand Suspensions and Shelf Suspensions more than twice, or for more than an aggregate of 90 days, in each case, during any 12-month period; provided, further, that in the event of a Demand Suspension, such Demand Suspension shall terminate at such earlier time as the Company would no longer be required to make any Adverse Disclosure. Each Participating Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a Demand Suspension is in effect, the certificate referred to above and its contents unless and until otherwise notified by the Company, except (A) for disclosure to such Participating Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who reasonably need to know such information for purposes of assisting the Participating Holder with respect to its investment in the Company Shares and agree to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners or other direct or indirect investors who have agreed to keep such information confidential, (C) if and to the extent such matters are publicly disclosed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person that, to the actual knowledge of such Participating Holder, was not subject to an obligation or duty of confidentiality to the Company and its Subsidiaries and (D) as required by law, rule or regulation. In the case of a Demand Suspension, the Participating Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon delivery of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Participating Holders upon the termination of any Demand Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Participating Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as any Participating Holder may reasonably request. The Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the Demand Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the Company for the applicable Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, or as may reasonably be requested by the Demand Party.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
