Request |
At any time after the earlier of June 20, 2003 or six months after the closing of the QIPO, (1) the Existing Holders holding, in the aggregate, at least 50% of the Registrable Securities then held by all Existing Holders, may request registration for sale under the Act of all or part of the Registrable Securities then held by them, and (2) the Additional Holders holding, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the Registrable Securities then held by all Additional Holders, may request registration for sale under the Act of all or part of the Registrable Securities then held by them, and upon such requests the Company will promptly take the actions specified in Section 1.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to effect a registration of Registrable Securities initiated by a Holder or Holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock unless the request for registration is joined by Grotech.
|
|
1.1.2. |
Demand Procedures |
Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Company of a written registration request under Section 1.1.1 (which request shall specify the number of shares proposed to be registered and sold and the manner in which such sale is proposed to be effected), the Company shall promptly give written notice to all other Holders of the proposed demand registration, and such other Holders shall have the right to join in the proposed registration and sale, upon written request to the Company (which request shall specify the number of shares proposed to be registered and sold) within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Company. The Company shall thereafter, as expeditiously as practicable (i) file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Act a registration statement on the appropriate form concerning all Registrable Securities specified in the demand request and all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received the written request from the other Holders and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective. At the request of either the Existing Holders or the Additional Holders requesting registration, the Company shall cause each offering pursuant to Section 1.1.1 to be managed, on a firm commitment basis, by a recognized regional or national underwriter selected by the Existing Holders or the Additional Holders, as applicable, and approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. All holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two registrations requested by Existing Holders under Section 1.1.1, provided, however, that any such request shall be deemed satisfied only when a registration statement covering not less than 70% of the Registrable Securities specified in notices received as aforesaid, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the Existing Holders, has become effective. The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two registrations requested by the Additional Holders under Section 1.1.1, with the second registration requested having an anticipated aggregate offering price not less than $5,000,000, provided, however, that any such request shall be deemed satisfied only when a registration statement covering not less than 70% of the Registrable Securities specified in notices received as aforesaid, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the Additional Holders, has become effective.
-3-
The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Existing Holders or the Additional Holders may, subject to Section 1.1.4, include other securities of the Company, with respect to which registration rights have been granted, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.
|
|
1.1.3. |
Delay by Company |
The Company shall not be required to effect a demand registration under the Act pursuant to Section 1.1.1 above if (i) the Company receives a request for registration under Section 1.1.1 less than 90 days preceding the anticipated effective date of a proposed underwritten public offering of securities of the Company approved by the Company’s Board of Directors prior to the Company’s receipt of the request and in such event the Company shall not be required to effect any such requested registration until 120 days after the effective date of such proposed underwritten public offering; (ii) within 120 days prior to any such request for registration, a registration of securities of the Company has been effected in which the Holders had the right to participate pursuant to this Section 1.1 or Section 1.3 hereof; or (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith that effecting such a demand registration at such time would have a material adverse effect upon a proposed sale of all (or substantially all) of the assets of the Company, or a merger, reorganization, recapitalization, or similar transaction materially affecting the capital structure or equity ownership of the Company, or would otherwise be seriously detrimental to the Company because the Company was then in the process of raising capital in the public or private markets; provided, however, that the Company may only delay a demand registration pursuant to this Section 1.1.3 for a period not exceeding 120 days (or until such earlier time as such transaction is consummated or no longer proposed) and may only defer any such filing pursuant to this Section 1.1.3 once per calendar year. The Company shall promptly notify in writing the Holders requesting registration of any decision not to effect any such request for registration pursuant to this Section 1.1.3, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reason for such decision and shall include an undertaking by the Company promptly to notify such Holders as soon as a demand registration may be effected.

|
1.1.4. |
Reduction |
If a demand registration is an underwritten registration and the managing underwriters advise the Company and the Holders participating in the demand registration in writing that in their opinion the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the price, distribution or timing of the offering, then the amount of such shares that may be included in such registration shall first be allocated pro rata among all of the Holders, excluding Holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock, exercising demand rights under Section 1.1 in proportion to the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by them, second, be allocated pro rata among any and all of the other Holders, excluding Holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock, joining in the registration under Section 1.1 in proportion to the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by them, and third, be allocated pro rata among all Holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock who are exercising demand rights under Section 1.1 in proportion to the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by them, and then to the Company or any other party seeking to participate in the offering.
|
|
1.1.5. |
Withdrawal |
Holders participating in any demand registration pursuant to this Section 1.1 may withdraw at any time before a registration statement is declared effective, and the Company may withdraw such registration statement if more than 30% of the Registrable Securities specified in the original written registration request are withdrawn by the Holders thereof (and if withdrawn by the Company the Holders shall not be deemed to have requested a demand registration for purposes of Section 1.1.1 hereof). If the Company withdraws a registration statement under this Section 1.1.5 in respect of a registration for which the Company would otherwise be required to pay expenses under Section 1.6.2 hereof, the Holders that shall have withdrawn shall reimburse the Company for all expenses of such registration in proportion to the number of shares each such withdrawing Holder shall have requested to be registered.

If at any time or times after the date of this Agreement the Company proposes to file a registration statement covering any of its securities under the Act (whether to be sold by it or by one or more selling stockholders), other than pursuant to an offering registered on Form S-8 or Form S~4, or successor forms relating to employee stock plans and business combinations, the Company shall, not less than 20 days prior to the proposed filing date of the registration form, give written notice of the proposed registration to all Holders specifying in reasonable detail the proposed transaction to be covered by the registration statement, and at the written request of any Holder delivered to the Company within 20 days after giving such notice, shall include in such registration and offering, and in any underwriting of such offering, all Registrable Securities as may have been designated in the Holder’s request. The Company shall have no obligation to include shares of Common Stock owned by any Holder in a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2, unless and until such Holder (a) in connection with any underwritten offering, agrees to enter into an underwriting agreement, a custody agreement and power of attorney and any other customary documents required in an underwritten offering all in customary form and containing customary provisions (but not requiring any Holder to provide indemnification or contribution to the underwriters in respect of liabilities under the Act) and (b) shall have furnished the Company with all information and statements about or pertaining to such Holder in such reasonable detail and on such timely basis as is reasonably deemed by the Company to be legally required with respect to the preparation of the registration statement.

1.2.2. |
Reduction |
If a registration in which any Holder has the right or is otherwise permitted to participate pursuant to this Section 1.2 is (i) the QIPO, the Company may limit, to the extent so advised in writing by the underwriters, the amount of securities (including Registrable Securities) to be included in the registration by the Company’s stockholders (including the Holders), or may exclude, to the extent so advised in writing by the underwriters, such securities (including Registrable Securities) entirely from the QIPO, or (ii) an underwritten registration subsequent to the QIPO, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, the Company may limit the amount of securities (including Registrable Securities) to be included in such registration by the Company’s stockholders (including the Holders) pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that (a) no shares proposed to be included by an Additional Holder, excluding Holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock, shall be excluded if any shares proposed to be sold by Holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock or other stockholders who are not Additional Holders are included (b) if all Registrable Securities proposed to be included by the Additional Holders, excluding Holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock, are included, no shares proposed to be included by an Existing Holder shall be excluded if any shares proposed to be sold by Holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock or other stockholders who are not Additional Holders or Existing Holders are included and (c) if all Registrable Securities proposed to be included by Additional Holders, excluding Holders of Forced Conversion Common Stock, and the Existing Holders are included, no shares proposed to be included by a Holder of Forced Conversion Common Stock shall be excluded if any shares proposed to be sold by other stockholders who are not Holders are included.

1.3. |
Registration on Form S-3 |
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.1.3, if at any time the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 (or any successor form) for secondary sales any Holder may request (by written notice to the Company stating the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition) that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) for a public sale of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it, provided that the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of such Registrable Securities shall be at least $1,000,000. At the written request of the Holder requesting such registration, such registration shall be for a delayed or continuous offering under Rule 415 under the Act. Upon receiving such request, the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) to register under the Act for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in such request, the number of shares of Registrable Securities specified in such request and shall otherwise carry out the actions specified in Section 1.1.2 and 1.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect any such registration if, in any twelvemonth period, the Company has effected one (1) such registration in such period in which such Holder participated or was offered the opportunity to participate and declined in writing to do so.

1.6.3. Indemnity and Contribution
(a) In the event that any shares owned by a Holder are proposed to be offered by means of a registration statement pursuant to Section 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 hereof, to the extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Holder, any underwriter participating in such offering, each officer, partner, manager and director of such person, each person, if any, who controls or may control such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each representative of any Holder serving on the Board of Directors of the Company (such Holder or underwriter, its officers, partners, managers directors and representatives, and any such other persons being hereinafter referred to individually as an “Investor Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Investor Indemnified Persons”) from and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, and attorneys’ fees and disbursements, asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by such Investor Indemnified Person, directly or indirectly (hereinafter referred to in this Section 1.6.3 in the singular as a “claim” and in the plural as “claims”), based upon, arising out of or resulting from any breach of representation or warranty made by the Company in any underwriting agreement or any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or any omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such claim is based upon, arises out of or results from information furnished to the Company in writing by such Investor Indemnified Person for use in connection with the registration statement.
-10-
(b) In the event that any shares owned by a Holder are proposed to be offered by means of a registration statement pursuant to Sections 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 hereof, to the extent permitted by law, each such Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls or may control the Company within the meaning of the Act (the Company and any such other persons also being hereinafter referred to individually as a “Company Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Company Indemnified Persons”) from and against all claims based upon, arising out of or resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or any omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such claim is based upon, arises out of or results from information furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder for use in connection with the registration statement; provided, however, that a Holder shall be under no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Company Indemnified Persons with respect to any amount in excess of the net cash proceeds paid to such Holder in connection with any sales of securities effected under such registration statement.
(c) The indemnification provisions set forth herein shall be in addition to any liability the Company or any Holder may otherwise have to the Investor Indemnified Persons or Company Indemnified Persons. The Company Indemnified Persons and the Investor Indemnified Persons are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Indemnified Persons.” Promptly after receiving notice of any claim in respect of which an Indemnified Person may seek indemnification under this Section 1.6.3, such Indemnified Person shall submit written notice thereof to either the Company or the Holders, as the case may be (sometimes being hereinafter referred to as an “Indemnifying Person”)- The omission of the Indemnified Person so to notify the Indemnifying Person of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability it may have hereunder except to the extent that (a) such liability was caused or increased by such omission, or (b) the ability of the Indemnifying Person to reduce such liability was materially adversely affected by such omission. In addition, the omission of the Indemnified Person so to notify the Indemnifying Person of any such claim shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability it may have otherwise than hereunder. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or representatives of its own choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement (without admitting liability of the Indemnified Person) of any such claim asserted, such defense, compromise or settlement to be undertaken at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, and the Indemnified Person shall have the right to engage separate counsel, at its own expense, whom counsel for the Indemnifying Person shall keep informed and consult with in a reasonable manner. In the event the Indemnifying Person shall elect not to undertake such defense by its own representatives, the Indemnifying Person shall give prompt written notice of such election to the Indemnified Person, and the Indemnified Person shall undertake the defense, compromise or settlement (without admitting liability of the Indemnified Person) thereof on behalf of and for the account of the Indemnifying Person by counsel or other representatives designated by the Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnifying Person shall be obligated hereunder with respect to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).
-11-
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Person, then the Indemnifying Person, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of any losses or claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Person on the one hand and the Indemnifying Person on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses or claims as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person 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 Person or by the Indemnified Person and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge and access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In no event will the liability of any Holder for contribution exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in any sale of securities to which such liability relates.

1.7. |
Grant and Transfer of Registration Rights |
Except for registration rights which have been granted by the Company as of the date hereof and registration rights granted by the Company after the date hereof which are subordinate to the rights of the Holders hereunder, the Company shall not grant any registration rights to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of a majority in interest of all Registrable Securities held by the Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company acknowledges that the registration rights which have been granted by the Company to the Holders are superior to the registration rights granted to PNC Bank, National Association by the Company pursuant to a Warrant Purchase Agreement dated June 15, 2001. Holders shall have the right to transfer or assign the rights contained in this Agreement (i) to any limited partner or affiliate of a Holder in connection with the transfer of any Registrable Securities made in compliance with the Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement among the Company and the Holders dated as of the date hereof, or (ii) to any third party transferee acquiring Registrable Securities issued to the Holder or the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Registrable Securities; provided: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act.

1.8. |
Information from Holder |
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder 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 such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

1.9. |
Rule 144 Requirements |
Immediately after the date on which a registration statement filed by the Company under the Act becomes effective, the Company shall undertake to make publicly available, and available to the Holders, such information as is necessary to enable the Holders to make sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act. The Company shall furnish to any Holder, upon request, a written statement executed by the Company as to the steps it has taken to comply with the current public information requirements of Rule 144.

Sale of Preferred Stock to Underwriter |
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in lieu of converting any shares of Preferred Stock prior to the filing of any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, the holder of such shares may sell such shares of Preferred Stock to the underwriters of the offering being registered upon the undertaking of such underwriters to convert the Preferred Stock to Common Stock, each such step to be effective at the closing of the offering. The Company agrees to cause the Common Stock issuable on the conversion of the Preferred Stock to be issued within such time period as will permit the underwriters to make and complete the distribution contemplated by the underwriting.

|
1.11. |
Changes in Preferred Stock or Common Stock |
If, and as often as, there is any change in the Preferred Stock or Common Stock by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the Preferred Stock or Common Stock as so changed.
