2. Piggy-back Registration Rights. If, at any time, the Company proposes to
------------------------------
register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company
for its own account or for the account of a stockholder other than the
Investor) any shares of Common Stock under the 1933 Act in connection with
the public offering of such securities (other than a registration form
relating to: (a) a registration of a stock option, stock purchase or
compensation or incentive plan or of stock issued or issuable pursuant to
any such plan, or a dividend investment plan; (b) a registration of
securities issued or proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or
assets of or in connection with a merger or consolidation with, another
corporation; or (c) a registration of securities issued or proposed to be
issued in exchange for other securities of the Company), the Company shall,
each such time, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in any event not
less than fifteen (15) days prior to filing the initial registration
statement with the SEC for such registration), give the Investor written
notice of such registration. Upon the written request of the Investor
given within ten (10) days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company in accordance with Section 13, the Company shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 6 (in the case of an underwritten offering), use all
reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the 1933 Act all of the
Registrable Securities that the Investor has requested to be registered.
3. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Agreement to
--------------------------
effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall,
as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
2
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on proper form
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and
upon written request of the Investor, keep such registration statement
effective for up to 90 days, or, if earlier, until the distribution
contemplated by such registration statement has been completed;
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with
the participating sellers' intended method of distribution set forth
in such registration statement;
(c) Furnish to the Investor such number of copies of the registration
statement and the prospectus included therein, including each
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
1933 Act, and such other documents as it may reasonably request in
order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by
it covered by such registration statement;
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities
laws of such jurisdictions as the Investor, or in the case of an
underwritten offering, the managing underwriter, shall reasonably
request, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction,
and further provided that if, under applicable blue sky laws, any
jurisdiction in which the Registrable Securities shall be qualified
shall require that expenses incurred in connection with the
qualification of the Registrable Securities in that jurisdiction be
borne by the Investor and provided there is no exemption from such
requirement by reason of the Company's obligation to pay such expenses
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, and if the
Investor does not agree to pay such expenses to the extent required by
such jurisdiction, the Company shall have no obligation hereunder or
otherwise to register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement in such jurisdiction;
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and
perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement with terms
generally satisfactory to the managing underwriter of such offering.
The Investor shall also enter into and perform its obligations under
such an agreement; provided, however, that such agreement is in usual
and customary form;
(f) Promptly notify the Investor of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in a registration statement
registering the Investor's Registrable Securities hereunder, 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
3
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light
of the circumstances in which they were made;
(g) Use all reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities
registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange
on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(h) Make available for inspection at the Company during its normal
business hours by the Investor or any attorney, accountant or other
agent retained by the Investor all pertinent, non-confidential
financial and other records of the Company as may be reasonably
requested by the Investor;
(i) If a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent public
accountants is obtained in connection with a registration of
Registrable Securities and such letter is addressed to any selling
stockholder in such registration, use all reasonable efforts to cause
such letter to be addressed to the Investor;
(j) If a legal opinion from counsel for the Company is obtained in
connection with a registration of Registrable Securities and such
opinion is addressed to any selling stockholder in such registration,
use all reasonable efforts to cause such opinion to be addressed to
the Investor;
(k) Provide a transfer agent or registrar for all Registrable Securities
registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such
Registrable Securities; and
(l) Use all reasonable efforts to make available the executive officers of
the Company to participate with the underwriters in any underwritten
public offering in any "road shows" that may be reasonably requested
by such underwriters.
4. Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
-------------------
of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that the
Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself,
the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the
registration of its Registrable Securities. In that connection, the
Investor shall be required to represent to the Company that all such
information which is given is both complete and accurate in all material
respects as of that date.
5. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection
------------------------
with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this
Agreement shall be borne by the Company, and all Selling Expenses shall be
borne by the Investor; provided, however, that if the Investor voluntarily
withdraws from a registration in which it requested to include its
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Registration
Expenses actually incurred by the Company as a result of the Investor's
request to participate in such registration, including the fees and
disbursements of primary counsel to the Investor (without regard to the
$25,000 limit described in Section 1(d) above), shall be borne by the
Investor, provided the Company provides written substantiation of any such
expenses incurred by the Company to the Investor.
4
6. Underwriting Requirements. The right of the Investor to "piggyback" in an
-------------------------
underwritten public offering of the Company's securities pursuant to
Section 2 shall be conditioned upon the Investor's participation in such
underwriting in accordance with the terms hereof and the inclusion of the
Investor's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent
provided herein. The Investor shall (together with the Company and any
other stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting)
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter
or underwriters selected for underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding
any other provision of Section 2 and this Section 6, if the underwriter
determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of
shares to be underwritten, the underwriter may exclude some or all of the
Registrable Securities from such registration and underwriting, provided
that the Investor is allowed to participate in the offering in the same
proportion (based on the total number of securities to be registered in
such offering) as any other stockholder of the Company (i) participating in
such offering and (ii) having registration rights on parity with the
Investor; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to limit the Company's ability to grant registration rights on
parity with or senior to those rights of the Investor contained herein. If
the Investor disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may
elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company. Any
Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting in
accordance herewith shall be withdrawn from such registration.
7. Delay of Registration. The Investor shall not have any right to obtain or
---------------------
seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration
as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the
interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.
8. Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a
---------------
registration statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless the Investor, its Affiliates and their respective officers
and directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Investor
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they or any of
them may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or any other
federal or state law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise from or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto; (ii) 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 (iii) any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any
state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
1933 Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law; and the Company
will reimburse the Investor, its Affiliates and their respective
officers,
5
directors and controlling persons for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is
effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such
case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the
extent that it arises from or is based upon a violation which occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by the
Investor, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors or
controlling persons.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, the Investor will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, any
underwriter (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) for the Company, any
person who controls such underwriter, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any
such director, officer, controlling person, or underwriter may become
subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or any other federal or
state law or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereto) arise from or are based upon any Violation, in each case to
the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by the Investor
expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the
Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling
person, underwriter or controlling person, in connection with
investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in
this Section 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
such loss, claim damage, liability or action if such settlement is
effected without the consent of the Investor, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that the Investor shall
not be liable under this Section 8(b) for any amount in excess of the
net proceeds received by the Investor in the registered offering out
of which such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises.
(c) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this
Section 8 is applicable but for any reason is held to be unavailable
from the Company or the Investor, the Company and the Investor shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including any investigation, legal and other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any
action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted) to which the
Company and the Investor may be subject in such proportion so that the
Investor is responsible for that portion of the foregoing amount
represented by the ratio of the net proceeds received by the Investor
in the offering out of which liability arises to the total proceeds
received
6
from the offering out of which liability arises by the Company and all
selling stockholders (other than the Investor) and the Company shall
be responsible for the portion represented by the ratio of proceeds
received by the Company to the total proceeds received by the Company
and all selling stockholders (other than the Investor); provided,
however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8(c), each person, if
any, who controls the Company or the Investor within the meaning of
the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, each officer of the Company who shall
have signed the registration statement and each director of the
Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company as
calculated herein.
(d) No settlement shall be effected without the prior written consent of
the Investor unless (i) all claims and actions against the Investor,
its Affiliates and their respective directors and officers and each
person who controls the Investor within the meaning of 1933 Act or the
1934 Act are extinguished by the settlement and the indemnifying party
obtains a full release of all claims and actions against the Investor,
its Affiliates and their respective directors and officers and control
persons, which release shall be to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Investor.
(e) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of
notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify
the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the
extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however,
that an indemnified party shall have the right to select and retain
one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid
by the indemnifying party, to the extent that representation of such
indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party
would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to notify an indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action,
solely to the extent materially prejudicial to its ability to defend
such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 8, but the omission so to
notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 8.
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Section 8
shall survive termination of this Agreement and the completion of any
offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement made
under the terms of this Agreement and otherwise.

9. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to
---------------------------------
register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may not be
assigned by the Investor, except to an Affiliate of the Investor, provided
that such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the obligations of the
Investor contained herein.
10. "Market Stand-off" Agreement. The Investor hereby agrees that it shall
----------------------------
not, to the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter in connection
with a public offering of Common Stock (or other securities) of the
Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable
Securities in a market transaction during the 180-day period (or such
shorter period of time (i) as may be required by the managing underwriter
in any underwritten public offering or (ii) as may be applicable to any
other stockholder of the Company) following the effective date of a
registration statement of the Company filed under the 1933 Act; provided,
in each case, that the executive officers and directors of the Company and
stockholders of the Company beneficially owning a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to or greater than the number of shares of Common Stock
then beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates shall have
agreed to provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this
Section 10. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may
impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable
Securities of the Investor (and the shares or securities of every other
person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such 180-day
period (or shorter period in accordance with the foregoing).
11. Rule 144. With a view of making available to the Investor the benefits of
--------
Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act and any other rule or regulation of
the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use all
reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those
terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, and to file with the SEC
all reports and other documents required to be filed under the 1933 Act and
the 1934 Act.
12. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (i)
