the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statements
shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
thereunder; and
(q) use its best efforts to take all other steps necessary to
effect the registration of such Registrable Shares contemplated hereby.
SECTION 7. EXPENSES.

including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees (including all
expenses incident to filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.), fees and expenses of complying with securities and blue sky laws,
printing expenses, fees and expenses of the Company's counsel and accountants
and fees and expenses of the Stockholders' Counsel shall be paid by the Company;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that all underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the Registrable Shares and Other Shares shall not be borne by the
Company but shall be borne by the seller or sellers thereof, in proportion to
the number of Registrable Shares and Other Shares sold by such seller or
sellers.
SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) In connection with any registration of any offering and sale of
Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the seller of such Registrable Shares,
each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of such seller,
each other Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons within the
meaning of the Securities Act and each Representative (including, without
limitation, the Stockholders' Counsel) of any of the foregoing Persons, against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of
the foregoing Persons may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered, any
preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, any amendment or
supplement thereto or any document incident to registration or qualification of
any offering and sale of any Registrable Shares, or arise out of or are based
upon the 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, with respect to any Prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein in
light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or any
violation by the Company of the Securities Act or state securities or blue sky
laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of
the Company in connection with such registration or qualification under such
state securities or blue sky laws, and the Company shall promptly reimburse such
seller, such underwriter, such broker, such controlling Person or such
Representatives for any legal or other expenses incurred by any of them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be liable
-12-
to any such Person to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made in said Registration Statement, preliminary
Prospectus, amendment thereto, or any document incident to registration or
qualification of any Registrable Shares in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed
by such Person, or a Person duly acting on their behalf, specifically for use in
the preparation thereof; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the foregoing indemnity
agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any untrue
statement or allegedly untrue statement in, or omission or alleged omission made
in any preliminary Prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the final Prospectus
(filed pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act), such indemnity agreement
shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party from whom the Person
asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense purchased the
Registrable Shares which are the subject thereof, if a copy of such final
Prospectus had been timely made available to such indemnified person and such
final Prospectus was not delivered to such Person with or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Shares to such Person.
(b) In connection with any registration of an offering and sale of
Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each
seller of Registrable Shares shall indemnify and hold harmless (in the same
manner and to the same extent as set forth in SECTION 8(a)) the Company, each
underwriter or broker involved in such offering, each other seller of
Registrable Shares under such Registration Statement, each Person who controls
any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act and any
Representative of the foregoing Persons with respect to any untrue statement or
allegedly untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from such
Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained
therein, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incident to
registration or qualification of any such offering and sale of Registrable
Shares, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company or such underwriter
through an instrument duly executed by such seller or a Person duly acting on
its behalf specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such
Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or
supplement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the maximum amount of liability in respect
of such indemnification shall be limited, in the case of each seller of
Registrable Shares, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by
such seller from the sale of Registrable Shares effected pursuant to such
registration.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding
paragraphs of this SECTION 8, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter
of the commencement of such action (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an indemnified
party's failure to give such notice in a timely manner shall only relieve the
indemnification obligations of an indemnifying party to the extent such
indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure). In case any such
action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any
other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred
-13-
by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such
indemnified party which are in addition to or conflict with those available to
the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have
an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided in
this SECTION 8, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the
defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party and such indemnifying
party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person controlling such
indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any one lead
counsel (PLUS appropriate special and local counsel) retained by the indemnified
party which are reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity
agreement provided in this SECTION 8.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this SECTION 8 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party
with respect to any loss, claim, damage or liability referred to herein, then
the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party
hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified
party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be
limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Shares, to an amount equal to
the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable
Shares effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraud shall be entitled
to indemnification or contribution hereunder.
(e) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and will survive the Transfer of
Registrable Shares.
SECTION 9. UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT.
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of SECTIONS 5, 6 and 8, to the
extent that the Stockholders selling Registrable Shares in a proposed
registration shall enter into an underwriting or similar agreement, which
agreement contains provisions covering one or more issues addressed in such
Sections of this Agreement, the provisions contained in such Sections of this
Agreement addressing such issue or issues shall be of no force or effect with
respect to such registration, but this provision shall not apply to the Company
if the Company is not a party to the underwriting or similar agreement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such underwriting agreement shall be effective to
diminish the rights of the Stockholders set forth in SECTION 8.
-14-
(b) If any registration pursuant to SECTION 2 or SECTION 4 is
requested to be an underwritten offering, the Company shall negotiate in good
faith to enter into a reasonable and customary underwriting agreement with the
underwriters thereof. The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from
lead institutions, underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar
securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same
extent as provided above with respect to information so furnished in writing by
such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration
Statement and to the extent customary given their role in such distribution.
(c) No Stockholder may participate in any registration hereunder
that is underwritten unless such Stockholder agrees to (i) sell such
Stockholder's Registrable Shares proposed to be included therein on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements acceptable to the Company in the case
of an offering of Primary Shares, or, in the case of an offering pursuant to
SECTION 2 hereof, the Company and the Requesting Stockholders, provided that
with respect to an offering pursuant to SECTION 2, such restriction shall apply
only with respect to underwriting arrangements that are reasonable and
customary, and (ii) as expeditiously as possible, notify the Company of the
occurrence of any event concerning such Stockholder as a result of which the
Prospectus relating to such registration contains 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, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.
SECTION 10. SUSPENSION.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company may (not more than once with respect to each
registration and not more than once in any twelve-month period), by notice in
writing to each holder of Registrable Shares to which a Prospectus relates,
require such holder to suspend, for up to 90 days (the "SUSPENSION PERIOD"), the
use of any Prospectus included in a Registration Statement filed under SECTIONS
2, 3 or 4 if a Material Transaction exists that would require an amendment to
such Registration Statement or supplement to such Prospectus (including any such
amendment or supplement made through incorporation by reference to a report
filed under Section 13 of the Exchange Act). The period during which such
Prospectus must remain effective shall be extended by a period equal to the
Suspension Period. The Company may (but shall not be obligated to) withdraw the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement subject to this provision; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, if the Company withdraws a Registration Statement, then, as soon
as the Company deems practicable, it shall use its best efforts to have a
Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Shares declared
effective, otherwise such withdrawn Registration Statement shall not count as a
Registration Statement pursuant to SECTION 2.
SECTION 11. INFORMATION BY HOLDER.
Each holder of Registrable Shares to be included in any
registration shall furnish to the Company and the managing underwriter such
written information regarding such holder and the distribution proposed by such
holder as the Company or the managing underwriter may reasonably request in
writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.
-15-
SECTION 12. EXCHANGE ACT COMPLIANCE.
From and after the Registration Date or such earlier date as a
registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act
relating to any class of the Company's securities shall have become effective,
the Company shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act (whether or not it shall be required to do so) and shall comply with all
other public information reporting requirements of the Commission which are
conditions to the availability of Rule 144 for the sale of the Common Stock. The
Company shall cooperate with each Stockholder in supplying such information as
may be necessary for such Stockholder to complete and file any information
reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition
to the availability of Rule 144.
SECTION 13. NO CONFLICT OF RIGHTS.
The Company represents and warrants to the Stockholders that it has
not granted registration rights to any other Person, and the Company shall not
grant to any other Person any registration rights without the consent of the
Requisite Stockholders. In any underwritten public offering, the managing
underwriter shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by
the Company, and, to the extent applicable, reasonably acceptable to the
Requesting Stockholders holding a majority of Registrable Shares requested to be
registered.
SECTION 14. TERMINATION.
This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect
when there shall not be any Restricted Securities outstanding; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that SECTIONS 7 and 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 15. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company
and the Stockholders and, subject to SECTION 16, their respective successors and
assigns.
SECTION 16. ASSIGNMENT.
Each Stockholder may assign its rights hereunder to any purchaser
from such Stockholder of Restricted Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in the
case of an assignment by any Stockholder, any such purchaser shall purchase such
Restricted Securities from such Stockholder in accordance with the Stockholders'
Agreement; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that such purchaser shall, as a condition
to the effectiveness of such assignment, be required to execute a counterpart to
this Agreement agreeing to be treated as a Stockholder hereunder (of the same
class (i.e., Investor Stockholder or Management Stockholder) as the transferor
Stockholder), whereupon such purchaser shall have the benefits of, and shall be
subject to the restrictions contained in, this Agreement. Each transferee of a
Stockholder is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall
have the benefits of this Agreement upon such Transfer, without any further
action on its part. The Company may not assign its rights hereunder without the
consent of the Requisite Stockholders.
-16-

provision in any other jurisdiction.
