AUTHORIZATION AND SALE OF THE SHARES AND WARRANTS
(a) Authorization. The Company has authorized, or will have
-------------
authorized before the Closing (as defined below) the sale and issuance of (i) up
to 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock (the "Shares"),
and (ii) Warrants to acquire up to 750,000 shares of common stock of the Company

The Shares shall have the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions as
set forth in the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Restated Articles"). The Warrants shall be in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1.
The "Conversion Stock" means the shares of Common Stock issuable or issued

"Securities" means the outstanding Shares, Warrants, and/or the outstanding
Conversion Stock, collectively, to the extent each is outstanding from time to

The Company has reserved 3,400,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant
to its 1998 Stock Plan and there are options to purchase 1,767,298 shares of the
Company's Common Stock outstanding. There are no other options, warrants,

(f) Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company,
-------------
its directors, and its shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution,
delivery, and performance of this agreement by the Company, the authorization,
sale, issuance, and delivery of the Shares (and, except for issuance and
delivery thereof, the Conversion Stock), and the performance of all of the
Company's obligations hereunder (except for the performance of its covenants to
be performed subsequent to the Closing) will have been taken prior to the
Closing. This agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company, will
constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating
to bankruptcy, insolvency, and the relief of debtors, (ii) rules of law
governing specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies,

restrictions as set forth in the Restated Articles. The Conversion Stock has
been duly and validly reserved and, when issued in accordance with this
agreement and the Company's articles of incorporation, will be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. The Securities, when issued, will
be free of any liens or encumbrances created by the Company; provided, however,

--------------------
the Purchasers the Company's unaudited year-to-date profit and loss statements
and cash flow statements as of November 30, 1998, and the Company's unaudited
monthly balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and cash flow statements for
months of April, 1998 through November, 1998 (collectively, the "Financial
Statements"). The Financial Statements are complete and correct and present
fairly the financial position and results of operations for the dates indicated
in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applied on
a consistent basis, except that the unaudited financial statements do not
contain footnotes and are subject to normal year-end audit adjustments.
(h) Changes. Since November 30, 1998, there have not been any
-------
changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, or operations of the
Company from those reflected in the Financial Statements, which would be
required under GAAP to be reflected in financial statements, except changes in
the ordinary course of business which have not been, individually or in the
aggregate, materially adverse; it being understood, however, that according to
the Business Plan, the Company continues to incur expenses in the ordinary
course of business which currently are in excess of income.
(i) Title to Properties and Assets. Except as reflected in the
------------------------------
Financial Statements, the Company has good and marketable title to all its
properties (both real and personal) and assets, and has good title to all its
leasehold interests, in each case subject to no mortgage, pledge, lien, lease,
conditional sale agreement, security interest, encumbrance, or charge, other
than (i) the lien of current taxes not yet due and payable, and (ii) possible
minor liens and encumbrances which have risen in the ordinary course of business
and which do not, in any case or in the aggregate, materially detract from the
value of the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the
Company.
(j) Material Liabilities. Except as reflected in the Financial
--------------------
Statements, the Company has no liabilities which are, individually or in the
aggregate, material to the financial condition or operating results of the
Company.

its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted, as
described in the Business Plan, without any infringement of the rights of
others.
(l) Material Contracts. All contracts, agreements, and instruments,
------------------
involving amounts of $50,000 or more in any one case, to which the Company is a
party, are valid, binding, and in full force and effect in all material
respects, and are enforceable by the Company in accordance with their respective
terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency and the relief of debtors and (ii) rules of law governing specific
performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies. Each of such
contracts, agreements, and instruments have been listed on the Schedule of
Exceptions. True and complete copies of such contracts,
-11-
agreements, and instruments have been made available for inspection by the
Purchasers (upon their request).
(m) Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in
---------------------------------
violation of any term of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, or in any
material respect of any term or provision of any mortgage, indebtedness,
indenture, contract, agreement, instrument, judgment, or decree, and to the best
of its knowledge is not in material violation of any order, statute, rule, or
regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery, and performance
of and compliance with this agreement, and the issuance of the Securities, have
not resulted and will not result in any violation of, or conflict with, or
constitute a default under, any such term or result in the creation of any
mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, or charge upon any of the properties or
assets of the Company. There is no such undisclosed term which unusually,
materially, and adversely affects the business of the Company or any of its
properties or assets.
(n) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, or

or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby, except (i)
filing of the Restated Articles with the California Secretary of State, and (ii)
qualification (or taking such action as may be necessary to secure an exemption
from qualification, if available) of the offer and sale of the Securities under

applicable blue sky laws, which filing and qualification, if required, will be
accomplished in a timely manner prior to or promptly after the Closing.

incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Company
any liability for brokerage or finders' fees or agents' commissions or any
similar charges in connection with this agreement or any transaction
contemplated hereby.

----------
contained in this agreement or in the exhibits attached hereto or in any written
statement (including the Business Plan) or certificate furnished or to be
furnished to the Purchasers pursuant hereto or in connection with the
-12-
transactions contemplated hereby, when read together, contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light
of the circumstances under which they were made. There is no fact known to the

condition of the Company, or any of its properties or assets, which has not been
set forth in this agreement or in the exhibits attached hereto or in any such
written statement.

trademarks, trade secrets, and the like. The Company does not have any
collective bargaining agreements covering any of its employees. The Company has

pension benefits. Each of the Company's employees has entered into the Company's

--------------
representations in Section 4 and in written responses to the Company's
inquiries, the offer, sale, and issuance of the Securities in conformity with
the terms of this agreement, constitute transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

to the Company with respect to the purchase of the Shares as follows:
(a) Experience. Such Purchaser has substantial experience in
----------
evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in

interests.
(b) Investor Suitability Questionnaire. Such Purchaser has delivered

with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.
Such Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be,
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
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 such Purchaser's representations as
expressed herein and in the Suitability Questionnaire.
(d) Rule 144. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities must be
--------
held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an
exemption from such registration is available. Such Purchaser is aware of the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited
resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, including, among other things, (i) the existence of a public
market for the shares, (ii) the availability of certain current public
information about the Company, (iii) the resale occurring not less than two
years after a party has purchased and fully paid for the shares to be sold, (iv)
the sale being effected through a "broker's transaction" or in transactions
directly with a "market maker" (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and (v) the number
of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified
limitations.
(e) No Public Market. Such Purchaser understands that no public
----------------
market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that there
is no assurance that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.
(f) Access to Data. Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss
--------------
the Company's business, management, and financial affairs with the Company's
management and the opportunity to review the Company's facilities and Business
Plan. Such Purchaser has also had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of
the Company, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. Such Purchaser
understands that such discussions, as well as any written information issued by
the Company, including the Business Plan, were intended to describe certain
aspects of the Company's business and prospects but were not a thorough or
exhaustive description.
(g) Authorization. This agreement, when executed and delivered by
-------------
such Purchaser, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the
Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) laws of
general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, and the relief of
debtors, (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief, or
other equitable remedies, and (iii) the extent that the indemnification
provisions of Section 8.12 may be limited by principles of public policy.

sheet as of the end of such fiscal quarter.

in any event within 90 days thereafter, an income statement for such fiscal
year, a balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such fiscal year, and a
statement of changes in financial condition for such fiscal year, all certified
by independent public accountants of recognized national standing selected by
the Company.
All financial statements provided for above shall be prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis
(except that such unaudited financial statements may be prepared without
footnotes and will be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments).
Each Purchaser agrees that any information obtained by such Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 7.1 which may be proprietary to the Company or

will not be utilized by such Purchaser in connection with purchases and/or sales
of the Company's securities except in compliance with applicable state and
federal antifraud statutes.
(b) Termination of Financial Information Rights. The Company's
-------------------------------------------
obligation to deliver the financial statements under Section 7.1 shall terminate
and shall be of no further force or effect when a public market first exists for
any of the Company's securities. Thereafter, the Company shall deliver to each
Purchaser such financial information as the Company from time to time provides
to holders of its Common Stock.
(c) Protective Covenants. Until (i) a public market exists for any of
--------------------
the Company's securities, or (ii) at least 80% of the Shares shall have been
converted into Common Stock, the Company shall not (without the consent of the
Holders of at least of majority of the then-outstanding Shares):
(1) increase the authorized number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock.
(2) materially and adversely alter or change the rights,
preferences or privileges of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred
Stock.
-17-
(3) create a new class or series of shares having a dividend or
liquidation preference senior to that of the outstanding Series B Preferred
Stock.

(a) Restrictions on Transfer. The Securities shall not be sold,
------------------------
assigned, transferred, or pledged except upon the conditions specified in this
Section, which conditions are intended to, among other things, ensure compliance
with the provisions of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser shall cause any
proposed transferee of the Securities held by a Purchaser to agree to take and
hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified
in this Section.
(b) Certain Definitions. As used in this agreement, the following
-------------------
definitions shall apply:
"Commission" means the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other
----------
federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act.

------------------
Registrable Securities.
"Registrable Securities" means (i) the Conversion Stock and (ii) any shares
----------------------
of Common Stock of the Company issued or issuable, directly or indirectly, in
respect of such stock upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or
similar event, or any shares of Common Stock otherwise issued or issuable with
respect to such stock; provided, however, that Registrable Securities shall not
include any shares of Common Stock which have previously been registered or sold
to the public.
-18-
"Registration Expenses" means all expenses incurred by the Company in
---------------------
complying with Sections 8.5, 8.6 and 8.7, including, without limitation, all
registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, escrow fees,
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses,
and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such
registration (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the Company
which shall be paid in any event by the Company). Registration Expenses shall
not include selling commissions, discounts or other compensation paid to
underwriters or other agents or brokers to effect the sale.
"Restricted Securities" means the securities of the Company required to

registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in
compliance with the Securities Act (and any post-effective amendments filed or
required to be filed), and the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of
such registration statement.
(c) Restrictive Legend. Each stock certificate representing (i) the
------------------
Securities, or (ii) any other securities issued in respect of the Securities
upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of Section
8.4) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the
following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state
securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THESE SECURITIES HAVE
BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE
DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, OR
TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO
THESE SECURITIES OR (II) THERE IS AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE
CORPORATION, THAT AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM IS AVAILABLE.
COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SECURITIES AND
RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY
THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AT
THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE CORPORATION.
Each Purchaser and holder of any Securities consents to the Company making
a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the
Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer described in this
Section.
-19-
(d) Notice of Proposed Transfers. Prior to any proposed transfer of any
----------------------------
Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under
the Securities Act covering the proposed transfer, the holder thereof shall give
written notice (the "Notice") to the Company of such holder's intention to make
such transfer. The Notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the
proposed transfer in sufficient detail. If reasonably requested by the Company
prior to the transfer being effected, the holder shall provide to the Company a
written opinion of legal counsel who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, addressed to the Company and reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Company's counsel, to the effect that the proposed transfer of
the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the
Securities Act. The holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to
transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the Notice
only after the Company has consented in writing to such transfer. Each stock
certificate evidencing the Restricted Securities so transferred shall bear the
appropriate restrictive legends set forth in Section 8.3, except that such
certificate shall not bear such restrictive legends if in the opinion of counsel
for the Company such legends are not required in order to establish compliance
with any provisions of the securities laws.
(e) Requested Registration.
----------------------
(i) Request for Registration. If the Company shall at any
------------------------
time after the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day after the effective date of
the first registration statement for an initial public offering of securities of
the Company receive a written request from the Holders of at least fifty percent
(50%) of the Shares issued as of the Closing, that the Company effect any
underwritten registration, qualification, or compliance with respect to
Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Holders, then the Company shall:
(1) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, qualification, or compliance to all other Holders; and
(2) as soon as practicable, use its most diligent efforts
to effect all such registration, qualification, or compliance (including,
without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective
amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state
securities laws, and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued
under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations)
as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are
specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable
Securities of any Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written
request received by the Company within 15 days after the date the Company mails
such written notice;
Provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any
action to effect any such registration, qualification, or compliance pursuant to
this Section 8.5:
a) In any jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
registration, qualification, or compliance unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities
Act;
-20-
b) During the period starting with the date sixty days
prior to the Company's estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date six
months immediately following the effective date of any registration statement
pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities
in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan or
initiated by security holders); or
c) Unless the aggregate gross offering price thereof
would be at least $5,000,000;
d) After the Company has effected two such registrations
pursuant to this Section 8.5 and such registration has been declared or ordered
effective.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (D), the Company shall file a
registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be
registered as soon as practicable, and in any event within 120 days, after
receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders; provided, however,
that if the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the
president of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the board of
directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or
its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed on or before the
date filing would be required and it is therefore essential to defer the filing
of such registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such
filing for a reasonable period not to exceed an additional 120 days.
(ii) Underwriting. The right of any Holder to registration
------------
pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested (unless
otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders
and such Holder) to the extent provided herein.
The Company shall (together with all Holders and holders of other
securities proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting)
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing
underwriter selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the
Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, if
the managing underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that
marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders and the other holders
distributing their securities through such underwriting, and the number of
shares of Registrable Securities and other securities that may be included in
the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders and other
holders thereof in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
amounts of securities entitled to inclusion (determined without regard to any
requirement of a request to be included in such registration) in such
registration held by all such Holders and other holders at the time of filing
the registration statement. No Registrable Securities or other securities
excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter's marketing
limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation
of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the
underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the
nearest 100 shares.
-21-
If any Holder of Registrable Securities disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company, the managing underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The
Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn shall also be
withdrawn from registration, and such Registrable Securities shall not be
transferred in a public distribution prior to 90 days after the effective date
of such registration, or such other shorter period of time as the underwriters
may require. If by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater
number of Registrable Securities held by other Holders may be included in such
registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the underwriters),
then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have included Registrable
Securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable
Securities in the same proportion and manner used in determining the underwriter
limitation in this Section 8.5(b).
If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable
Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own
account or for the account of others in such registration if the underwriter so
agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have
been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
(f) Company Registration.
--------------------
(i) Notice of Registration. If at any time or from time to
----------------------
time, the Company shall determine to register in an underwritten offering any of
its securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder
or holders exercising their respective demand registration rights, other than
(i) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or (ii) a
registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, the Company
shall:
(1) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof;
and
(2) include in such registration (and any related
qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting
involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
by each holder received by the Company within 15 days after the Company mails
such written notice, subject to the provisions below.
(ii) Underwriting. The right of any Holder to registration
------------
pursuant to Section 8.6 shall be conditioned upon the participation by such
Holder in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Registrable Securities of
such Holder in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities
through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the
Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.6, if the
managing underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of
the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the
Registrable Securities held by Holders to be included in such registration. The
Company shall so advise all Holders and the other holders distributing their
securities through such underwriting, and the number of shares of Registrable
Securities and other securities that may be included in the registration and
underwriting shall be
-22-
allocated among all Holders and other holders thereof in proportion, as nearly
as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities entitled to inclusion
(determined without regard to any requirement of a request to be included in
such registration) in such registration held by all such Holders and other
holders at the time of filing the registration statement, provided that no such
inclusion of Registrable Securities and other securities by the underwriter may
reduce the securities being offered by the Company for its own account. To
facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the
Company may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder or holder to the
nearest 100 shares. If any Holder or other holder disapproves of the terms of
any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to
the Company and the managing underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn
from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration, and shall not
be transferred in a public distribution prior to 180 days after the effective
date of the registration statement relating thereto, or such other shorter
period of time as the underwriters may require.
(iii) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the
-------------------------------
right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this
Section 8.6 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any
Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.
(g) Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from a
---------------------
Holder or Holders a written request that the Company effect a registration on
Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to an amount
of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders for which the
anticipated aggregate offering price would be at least $1,000,000, the Company
shall:
(i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration,
and any related qualification or compliance to all other Holders; and
(ii) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or
Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with
all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders
joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15
days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however,
-------- -------
that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration,
qualification, or compliance pursuant to this Section 8.7: (1) if Form S-3 is
not available for such offering by the Holders; (2) if the Company shall furnish
to the Holders a certificate signed by the president of the Company stating that
in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form S-3
Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have
the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a
period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the initiating request of the
Holder or Holders under this Section 8.7; provided, however, that the Company
-------- -------
shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period; (3) if
the Company has, within the twelve month period preceding the date of such
request, already effected a registration on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to
this Section 8.7; or (4) in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
registration, qualification or compliance unless the
-23-
Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be
required by the Securities Act.
Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall effect such registration,
qualification, or compliance (including, without limitation, the execution of an
undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under
applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance
with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other
governmental requirements or regulations) covering the Registrable Securities
and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after
receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected
pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall not be counted as demands for registration or
registrations effected pursuant to Sections 8.5 or 8.6.
If the registration to be effected pursuant to this Section 8.7 is to be an
underwritten public offering, it shall be managed by an underwriter or
underwriters acceptable to Company selected by a majority in interest of the
Holders requesting registration. In such event, the right of any Holder to
registration pursuant to Section 8.7 shall be conditioned upon the participation
by such Holder in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Registrable
Securities of such Holder in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. If
the managing underwriter so selected determines that marketing factors require a
limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter
may limit the Registrable Securities held by such Holders to be included in such
registration. The Company shall so advise such Holders, and the number of
shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the registration shall
be allocated among such Holders in proportion to the respective amounts of
Registrable Securities which would be held by each of such Holders at the time
of filing of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities that are so
excluded from the underwriting shall be excluded from the registration. As used
throughout this Section the term "Form S-3" shall be deemed to include any
equivalent successor form for registration pursuant to the Act.
(h) Expenses of Registration.
------------------------
(i) All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the
registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 8.5 and 8.6 shall
be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to
Section 8.5, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the
Initiating Holders, in which case such expenses shall be borne by the Holders of
securities (including Registrable Securities) pro rata in accordance with the
number of shares initially sought to be registered requesting or causing such
withdrawal.
(ii) All Registration Expenses and Selling Expenses incurred in
connection with a registration, qualification, or compliance pursuant to Section
8.7 shall be borne pro rata by the Holders requesting the registration on Form
S-3 according to the number of Registrable Securities included in such
registration.
(i) Letter or Opinion of Counsel in Lieu of Registration. If in the
----------------------------------------------------
opinion of counsel for the Company concurred in by counsel for the Holders, no
registration under the Act is required in connection with the disposition of the
Registrable Securities covered by any request made
-24-
under Sections 8.5, 8.6, and 8.7 in the manner in which they propose to dispose
of the Registrable Securities included in such request, the Company need not
comply with such request or requests; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be so relieved of its obligations under Sections 8.5, 8.6, and 8.7 unless
such opinion of counsel for the Company shall have been mailed by the Company to
such Holders within fifteen (15) days after the Company's receipt of their
request or requests; and provided, further, that if counsel for the Company has
opined that no registration is required in connection with any such disposition,
such counsel shall further opine as to whether the removal of any legend from
certificates representing all shares to which such opinion refers is
permissible, and, if so, the Company shall remove from such certificates all
legends no longer required thereon and shall rescind any stop-transfer
instructions previously communicated to its transfer agent relating to such
shares.
(j) Lock-up. Each Purchaser (or other holder of any Securities)
-------
hereby agrees not to offer, sell, or otherwise dispose of any of the Company's
Common Stock held of record or beneficially owned by such person during such
period following the effective date of the registration statement for the
Company's initial underwritten public offering as is requested by the managing
underwriter for such offering, provided that all officers and directors of the
Company and all other persons with registration rights are bound by similar
restrictions and the period of such restriction is no more than 180 days. Such
restriction shall not apply to shares registered in such offering. In order to
enforce this provision, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with
respect to such shares until the end of such period.
(k) Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required
-----------------------
by the provisions of this Section to use its most diligent efforts to effect
promptly the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall:
(i) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its most diligent efforts to
cause such registration statement to become and remain effective as provided
herein.
(ii) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and
current and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to
the sale or other disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement, including such amendments and supplements as may be
necessary to reflect the intended method of disposition of the prospective
seller or sellers of such Registrable Securities, but for no longer than one
hundred twenty (120) days subsequent to the effective date of such registration
in the case of a registration statement on Form S-1 (or any similar form of
registration statement required to set forth substantially identical
information) and for no longer than ninety (90) days in the case of a
registration statement on Form S-3.
(iii) Furnish to each prospective seller of Registrable
Securities such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such
other documents, as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities of such
seller.
-25-
(l) Indemnification. In the event any of the Registrable Securities
---------------
are included in a registration statement under this Section:
(i) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers
and directors and partners and such Holder's separate legal counsel and
independent accountants, and each person controlling such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each underwriter, if any, and
each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in
settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based
on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such
registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company in
connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and the
Company will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers and directors and
partners and such Holders' separate legal counsel and independent accountants
and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter and each person
who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company will
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage,
liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for
use therein.
(ii) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such
Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration,
qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of
its directors and officers and its legal counsel and independent accountants,
each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a
registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such
Holder, each of its officers and directors and each person controlling such
Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all
claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering
circular or other document, or 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, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders,
such directors, officers, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal
or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration
statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument
duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein;
provided,
-26-
however, that the obligations of such Holders hereunder shall be limited to an
amount equal to the proceeds to each such Holder of Registrable Securities sold
as contemplated herein.
(iii) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section
(the "Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be
approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be
withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such
party's expense. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation.
(iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party
with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to
herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified
Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party
with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in the proportion
that is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Party in connection with the statements or omissions that
resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of 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.
(m) Information by Holder. The Holder or Holders of Registrable
---------------------
Securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by
such Holder or Holders as the Company may request in writing and as shall be
required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance
referred to in this Section.
(n) Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of
------------------
certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the
sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, after such
time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company and until
five years from the date hereof, the Company shall use its best efforts to:
(i) Make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, beginning 90
days after (i) the effective date of the first registration statement filed by
the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public, (ii) the
Company registers a class of securities under Section 12 of the Securities
-27-
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (iii) the Company issues an offering
circular meeting the requirements of Regulation A under the Securities Act;
(ii) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
