1.2 Registration.
(a) Piggyback Registration. Following the date

Act and the registration form to be used can be used to register the resale of
the Common Stock (other than a Registration Statement (A) on Form S-8 or any

on Form S-4, or any successor form relating to an exchange offer or relating to
a transaction pursuant to Rule 145, or (C) on Form S-3 or any successor form
with respect to securities registered in connection with dividend reinvestment
plans or similar plans only), the Company shall, each such time, promptly give
the Holders written notice of such determination to effect such a registration
not later than 30 days prior to the anticipated date of initial filing with the
Commission of the Registration Statement. At any time on or prior to September
22, 2000, the Holders shall be additionally entitled to request that the
Registrable Securities be included in the Registration Statement on Form SB-2
filed by the Company on September 1, 2000. Upon the written request of the
Holder given within 20 days after the date that the Company gives its notice, as
part of the registration to which such notice relates, the Company shall use its
best efforts to effect as expeditiously as possible the registration of all
Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be registered.
(b) Demand Registration. In the event that (i) at any
time after the date hereof and prior to September 22, 2000, the Holders have
made a request to be included in a registration by the Company pursuant to
Section 1.2(a) hereof, and (ii) the Company has not used its commercially
reasonable best efforts to cause a registration statement to be filed and
declared effective with respect to such registration on or prior to December 31,
2000, then at any time following December 31, 2000 the Holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities may in writing request registration under the Act of
all or part of their Registrable Securities. Each request for registration shall
state that it is being made pursuant to this Section 1.2(b) and shall specify
the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered. Within ten days
after such notice has been given, the Company shall give written notice to all
other Holders, if any, of such requested registration. Each such Holder shall
have the right, by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the
Company gives its notice, to elect to have included in such registration such of
its Registrable Securities as such Holder may request in such notice of
election. Upon a request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall use its
best efforts to effect as expeditiously as possible but in any event prior to
March 31, 2001 the registration, in accordance with Section 1.3, of all
Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to so register. The
Company agrees that, during any period in which a Holder has requested a Demand
Registration hereunder, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the
Company to qualify for use of Form S-3 or any other applicable short form
registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities. Each
registration requested pursuant to this Section 1.2(b) is referred to herein as
a "Demand Registration."
(c) Limitations on Registrations.
-4-
6
(i) The Company shall not be required to
effect more than two Demand Registrations.
(ii) If the Board of Directors of the
Company, acting in good faith, determines that the registration and distribution
of Registrable Securities (or the use of the Registration Statement or related
Prospectus) resulting from a Demand Registration would:
(A) materially and adversely
interfere with any previously announced business combination transaction
involving the Company pursuant to which the Company would issue, in connection
with such transaction, shares of Common Stock; or
(B) result in the premature
disclosure of any material pending financing, acquisition, corporate
reorganization or any other corporate development involving the Company or any
of its subsidiaries;
then, in either such event, the Company shall promptly give the Holders written
notice of such determination. The Company shall thereupon have the right to
delay the filing or the effectiveness (but not the preparation) of the
Registration Statement for the Demand Registration for a reasonable period of
time, but in no event more than 120 days after the date that the request for a
Demand Registration was made; provided that in the event of such delay, the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such
Demand Registration will be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such
request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration will not count as a Demand
Registration, and responsibility for Registration Expenses incurred by the
parties prior to such delay shall be allocated in accordance with Section
1.2(d). The Company may not exercise this right to delay a Demand Registration
more than once during any period of twelve consecutive months.
(iii) The obligation of the Company to
effect a Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration hereunder shall be
subject to all applicable regulations promulgated under the Act and Commission
interpretations thereof which may restrict or limit the number of shares which
may be registered for resale by Affiliates of the Company. In the event that, on
or following the date of any request or demand for registration hereunder, the
Holders shall be or shall become an Affiliate of the Company as defined under
the Act, the regulations promulgated thereunder or Commission interpretations
thereof (whether by virtue of the Holder's beneficial ownership of securities,
representation on the Company's Board of Directors or otherwise), the
Registrable Securities to be included in the registration shall be reduced in
such amount as is necessary for the securities offered by all Affiliates
participating in such registration to comply with such regulations under the Act
and all Commission interpretations thereof.
(iv) The obligations of the Company to
effect a Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration hereunder shall be
subject to all prior
-5-
7
registration or other contractual rights of third parties, including any rights
in respect of priority for inclusion in a registration of securities by the
Company.
(d) Expenses of Registration. All Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 1.2(a) or (b) hereof shall be borne by the Company. Underwriting
discounts and commissions relating to the sale or disposition of Registrable
Securities by the Holders and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or
disposition of Registrable Securities by the Holders, all shall be borne by the
Holders. The cost of preparing all documents incorporated by reference or
otherwise required to be prepared in the ordinary course of the Company's
business shall be borne by the Company. Expenses to be borne by the Holders
shall be allocated to each Holder in the same proportion as the amount of
Registrable Securities owned by such Holder which are included in the
Registration bears to the amount of Registrable Securities owned by all Holders
which are included in the Registration.
1.3 Registration Procedures. The Company's obligations
hereunder shall include the following, to be effected as expeditiously as
reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission the
Registration Statement or an amendment thereto with respect to such Registrable
Securities on any form for which the Company then qualifies or that counsel for
the Company shall deem appropriate, and which form shall be available for the
sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the methods of
distribution thereof intended by the Holders participating in such registration,
and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and
remain effective;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission amendments
and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement and such amendments
and supplements to the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to maintain the effectiveness of such registration or as may be
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form utilized by the Company or by the Act to keep such
Registration Statement effective to permit the methods of distribution intended
by the Holders participating in such registration for at least 270 days and
cause the Prospectus as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, and to
otherwise comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition
of all securities covered by such Registration Statement in the manner
reasonably requested by the Holders to be included in such registration until
the earlier of (x) such time as all of the Registrable Securities have been
disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition, and (y) the
expiration of six months following the effective date of the Registration
Statement (it being understood that the Company at its option may determine to
maintain such effectiveness for a longer period, whether pursuant to a Shelf
Registration or otherwise); provided, however, that a reasonable time before
filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements
thereto (other than reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act),
the Company shall furnish to the Holders and their respective counsel for review
and comment, copies of all documents proposed to be filed;
-6-
8
(c) furnish to the Participating Holders such number
of conformed copies of such Registration Statement and of each amendment and
post-effective amendment thereto (in each case including all exhibits) and such
number of copies of any preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or Prospectus
supplement and such other documents as the Participating Holders may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by
the Participating Holders (the Company hereby consenting to the use (subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 1.3(i) hereof) of the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto in connection with such disposition);
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the
sale of such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under
such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the
Participating Holders shall reasonably request, except that the Company shall
not for any such purpose be required to (i) register or qualify the sale of such
Registrable Securities in any state requiring "merit review" or in which the
Common Stock would not qualify for registration by coordination or other
notification procedure, (ii) qualify generally to do business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this Section
1.3(d), it would not be obligated to be so qualified, (iii) subject itself to
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iv) to consent to general service of
process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) notify the Participating Holders, at any time
when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act
within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 1.3(b) hereof, of the
Company's becoming aware that the Prospectus included in such Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing, and, at the request of any Participating Holder, prepare and furnish
to such Participating Holder a reasonable number of copies of an amendment or
supplement to such Registration Statement or related Prospectus as may be
necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable
Securities, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then
existing;
(f) notify the Participating Holders as soon as
possible:
(i) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to the
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective;
(ii) of any request by the Commission for
amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for
additional information;
-7-
9
(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of
any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any
order preventing the use of a related Prospectus, or the initiation (or any
overt threats) of any proceedings for such purposes; and
(iv) of the receipt by the Company of any
written notification of the suspension of the qualification of any of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation (or overt
threats) of any proceeding for that purpose;
(g) in the event of the issuance of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any order
suspending or preventing the use of any related Prospectus or suspending the
qualification of any Registrable Securities included in the Registration
Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts promptly to obtain its withdrawal;
(h) the Participating Holders shall furnish the
Company with such information regarding the Participating Holders and pertinent
to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution
of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in
writing; and
(i) the Participating Holders shall, upon receipt of
any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described
in Section 1.3(e) hereof, forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Prospectus or Registration Statement covering such
Registrable Securities until the Participating Holders shall have received
copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 1.3(e)
hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, the Participating Holders shall
deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in the Participating Holders' possession, of the
Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt
of such notice.
1.4 Black-Out Period Agreement. In consideration for the
Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, the Holders agree in
connection with any registration of the Company's securities (other than
pursuant to a Registration Statement (A) on Form S-8 or any successor form
relating to securities issuable pursuant to any benefit plan; (B) on Form S-4,
or any successor form relating to an exchange offer or relating to a transaction
pursuant to Rule 145 under the Act; or (C) on Form S-3 or any successor form
with respect to securities registered in connection with dividend reinvestment
plans and similar plans only) that, upon the request of the underwriters
managing any underwritten offering of the Company's securities, not to sell,
make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise
dispose of any of the Common Stock (other than those included in the
registration) without the prior written consent of such underwriters for up to
180 days after the effective date of such registration. The restrictions in this
Section 1.4 shall not prevent a Holder from selling shares of Common Stock
purchased by it in the public markets, provided that such
-8-
10
Holder is not in a net short position with respect to publicly tradable Common
Stock or other derivative securities with respect thereto at any time during
such 180-day period.
1.5 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view toward making available to
Holder the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may
permit the sale of the Common Stock to the public without registration, the
Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a) make and keep current public information
available, within the meaning of Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule
promulgated under the Act;
(b) file with the Commission, in a timely manner, all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the
Exchange Act; and
(c) so long as any Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request, a written statement
by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144,
the Act and the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as such party may
reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the
Commission allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
1.6. Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights
of any Shareholder under this Agreement may not be transferred except by Holder
to any Affiliate of the Holder to whom any of the shares owned by the Holder are
transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Company is given written notice by
such Shareholder at the time of such assignment and transfer stating the name
and address of the transferee and identifying the securities with respect to
which the rights under this Agreement are being assigned and transferred.
1.7. Indemnification.
(a) In connection with any registration or
qualification of the Registrable Securities under this Agreement, (i) the
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Holders, including but not
limited to each Person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including but not limited to reasonable expenses incurred in
investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) to which a Holder or
such controlling person may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon or are caused by
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement or Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) furnished
pursuant to this Agreement or insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon
or are 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, except insofar as such losses, claims,
-9-
11
damages, liabilities or expenses are ultimately determined to have arisen out of
or were based upon or were caused by (A) the failure by any Holder to comply
with the provisions of Section 1.3(i) hereof, or (B) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission based upon written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder or any such
control person for inclusion in any Registration Statement or Prospectus (and
any amendments or supplements thereto), and (ii) each Holder, severally and not
jointly, shall indemnify the Company, its affiliates, any person who signed any
Registration Statement, and their respective officers, directors and control
persons against all such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including but not limited to reasonable expenses incurred in investigating,
preparing and defending against any claim) insofar as the same are ultimately
determined to have arisen out of or were based upon or were caused by (A) the
failure by any Holder to comply with the provisions of Section 1.3(i) hereof, or
(B) any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or any such omission
or alleged omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by
or on behalf of such Holder or any such control person for the inclusion in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus (and any amendments or supplements
thereto).
(b) Promptly upon receipt by a party indemnified
under this Agreement of notice of the commencement of any action against such
indemnified party in respect of which indemnity or reimbursement may be sought
against any indemnifying party under this Agreement, such indemnified party
shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such
action, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it
of any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
this Agreement unless such failure shall materially and adversely affect the
defense of such action. In case notice of commencement of any such action shall
be given to the indemnifying party as above provided, the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with
any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such
action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory
to such indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable expenses incurred
in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) shall be paid by
the indemnified party unless (a) the indemnifying party agrees to pay the same,
(b) the indemnifying party fails to assume the defense of such action with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (in which case the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action
on behalf of such indemnified party), or (c) the named parties to any such
action (including any impleaded parties) have been advised by such counsel that
representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same
counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional
conduct (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume
the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party). In the event
that either of the circumstances described in clauses (b) and (c) of the
sentence immediately preceding shall occur, the indemnified party shall have the
right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and
otherwise to participate in the defense of any such action, with the expenses
and fees of such separate counsel and other
-10-
12
expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying
party as incurred. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement
entered into without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
