2.1 Demand Registration.
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.1, if FS receives a written
request from JL that FS file a registration statement under the
Securities Act covering the registration of all or a part of its
Registrable Securities, then FS shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the
Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that it has requested to
be registered (such request to include the number of Registrable
Securities sought to be included and the intended method or methods of
distribution of such Registrable Securities), subject to and in
accordance with the terms, conditions, procedures, and limitations
contained in this Agreement. JL may at any time prior to the effective
date of the registration statement relating to a requested registration
under this Section 2.1 revoke its request by providing written notice
to FS, in which case the Registration Expenses will be borne in
accordance with Section 2.4.
(b) FS shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this
Section 2.1:
(i) after FS has effected one registration pursuant to this Section 2.1,
provided, however, that a registration shall not count as having been
effected unless and until it has become effective, and unless and until
JL shall have had the opportunity to register and sell 100% of its
Registrable Securities initially requested to be registered pursuant
thereto, except that a registration the request for which has been
revoked by JL shall count as having been effected unless the revocation
is based upon material adverse information concerning the business or
financial condition of FS of which JL was not aware at the time of its
request for registration;
(ii) during the period starting with the date of filing of, and ending on
the date 90 days following the effective date of, a registration
statement pertaining to any underwritten public offering in which JL
was given the opportunity to participate pursuant to Section 2.2;
provided that FS uses commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective; or
2
(iii) during any period when FS is not eligible to use Form S-3 to register
the Registrable Securities.
2.2 Piggyback Registrations.
(a) FS shall notify JL at least 15 days prior to the filing of any registration
statement under the Securities Act for a public offering of securities of FS
(including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary
offerings of securities of FS, but excluding registration statements relating to
employee benefit plans or corporate reorganizations or other transactions under
Rule 145 of the Securities Act) and will afford JL an opportunity to include in
such registration statement all or part of the Registrable Securities held by
JL; provided, that (x) no such notice shall be required, and this Section 2.2
shall not be applicable, at any time when the registration statement filed under
Section 2.1 is effective. Such notice shall (i) offer JL the opportunity to
register such number of Registrable Securities as it may request and (ii)
describe such securities and specify the form and manner and other relevant
facts involved in such proposed registration (including, without limitation, if
known, the price at which such securities are reasonably expected to be sold to
the public, whether or not such registration will be in connection with an
underwritten offering and, if so, the identity of the managing underwriter,
whether such underwritten offering will be pursuant to a "best efforts" or "firm
commitment" underwriting, and, if known, the amount of underwriting discount
reasonably expected to be incurred in connection therewith). If JL desires to
include in any such registration statement all or part of the Registrable
Securities held by it, it shall, within 15 days after receipt of the
above-described notice from FS, so notify FS in writing. Such notice shall state
the number of Registrable Securities which JL requests to be included in such
registration and its intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities. If JL decides not to include all or any part of its Registrable
Securities in any registration statement filed by FS, it shall nevertheless
continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any
subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by
FS, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. In addition, inclusion
of any part of the Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this
Section 2.2(a) shall not affect JL's rights under Section 2.1. In addition,
inclusion of any part of the Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant
to this Section 2.2(a) shall not affect JL's rights under Section 2.1.
(b) If the registration statement under which FS gives notice under this Section
2.2 is for an underwritten offering, JL's right to be included in a registration
pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be conditioned upon its participation in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein and its entering into an underwriting
agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for
such underwriting by FS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
2.2, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require
a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including
Registrable Securities), then FS shall so advise JL, and the number of
securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated first, to
FS; and second, to JL and to any other stockholders of FS having comparable
rights, on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities
requested to be sold by JL and such other stockholders. If JL disapproves of the
terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to FS and the underwriter, delivered at least 10 business days prior to
the effective date of the registration statement, which withdrawal shall not
affect JL's rights under Section 2.1 or 2.2. Any Registrable Securities excluded
or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the
registration.
3
(c) FS shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated
by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration
whether or not JL has elected to include securities in such registration. The
Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by FS in
accordance with Section 2.4.
2.3 Suspension of Registration. Under any registration statement filed pursuant
to Section 2 hereof, FS may restrict disposition of Registrable Securities and
JL will not be able to dispose of such Registrable Securities, if FS shall have
delivered a certificate to JL signed by an officer of FS stating that in the
good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of FS a delay in the disposition
of such Registrable Securities is necessary because FS has determined that such
sales would require public disclosure by FS of material nonpublic information
that is not included in such registration statement. In the event of the
delivery of such certificate to JL, FS shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to amend such registration statement or amend or supplement the related
prospectus as necessary, and take all other actions necessary, to allow the
proposed sale to take place as promptly as possible (or, if in the reasonable
judgment of the Board of Directors of FS disclosure of such event would be
detrimental to FS, promptly after the earlier of (a) the date that disclosure of
such event would not be detrimental to FS and (b) 120 days after the date of
such certificate, provided, however, that such right to delay the sales of
Registrable Securities may be exercised by FS not more than twice in any
12-month period and that the aggregate delay in the sale of the Registrable
Securities included in the registration statement shall not exceed 180 days from
the date of the respective certificates.
2.4 Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all
Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to
Section 2.1 or 2.2 shall be borne by FS. All Selling Expenses incurred in
connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by the holders of the
securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so
registered. FS shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of (a) any
registration begun pursuant to Section 2.1, the request for which has been
subsequently withdrawn by JL, unless (i) the withdrawal is based upon material
adverse information concerning the business or financial condition of FS of
which JL was not aware at the time of such request; or (ii) JL agrees to forfeit
its requested registration under Section 2.1. If FS is not required to pay the
Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by JL; and, if FS has
previously paid any such expenses, JL shall promptly reimburse FS therefore.
2.5 Obligations of FS. Whenever required to register any Registrable Securities,
FS shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such
Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective.
(b) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement
effective in the case of a registration statement under Section 2.1, for up to
90 days, or, if earlier, until JL has completed the distribution related
thereto.
4
(c) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post effective
amendments and supplemental opinions of counsel, if required) 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
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement for the period set forth in Section 2.5(b).
(d) Furnish to JL 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 they may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of
Registrable Securities owned by it.
(e) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as JL shall be reasonably
request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable JL to consummate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities owned by it in such jurisdictions; provided that FS 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
states or jurisdictions. (f) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be
registered or qualified with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
authorities (including, without limitation, state securities commissions) as may
be necessary to enable JL to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.
(g) Notify JL, promptly after FS shall receive notice thereof, of the date and
time the registration statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has
become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such
registration statement has been filed.
(h) Notify JL, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of
which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and, at JL's
request, subject to Section 2.3, deliver a reasonable number of copies of an
amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus
shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
(i) Within a reasonable time before each filing of the registration statement or
any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC, furnish to one counsel,
selected by JL, copies of such documents proposed to be filed, which documents
shall be subject to the reasonable approval of such counsel.
(j) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any order
suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement and, if one is issued,
immediately notify JL of the receipt of such notice and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of a registration statement at the earliest possible moment.
5
(k) Make available to JL and any attorney, accountant, or other agent or
representative retained by it (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all financial
and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of FS, as shall
be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence
responsibility, and cause FS's officers, directors, and employees to supply all
information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration
statement, subject, in each case, to such confidentiality agreements as FS shall
reasonably request.
(l) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the securities covered by
such registration statement to be listed on any securities exchange or quoted on
any quotation system on which similar securities issued by FS are then listed or
quoted.
(m) Otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the SEC
and other regulatory agencies and take all reasonable actions and execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all documents reasonably necessary
to effect the registration of any securities under this Agreement.
(n) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities
not later than the effective date of such registration statement.
(o) If such registration involves an underwritten offering, obtain and furnish a
comfort letter, dated the effective date of such registration statement, and the

public accountants and addressed to JL, in customary form and covering such
matters as are customarily covered by comfort letters by independent public
accountants in such public offerings and such other financial matters as JL may
reasonably request.
(p) If such registration involves an underwritten offering, furnish a legal
opinion of FS's counsel, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement and addressed to JL, with respect to the registration statement, each
amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the
preliminary prospectus) and other documents relating thereto, in customary form
and covering such matters as are customarily covered by legal opinions of
issuers' counsel in such public offerings.
(q) During the period when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, promptly file all documents required to be filed with the SEC
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
2.6 Termination of Registration Rights. JL's registration rights shall expire if
all Registrable Securities held by and issuable to it may be sold under SEC Rule
144 during any 90 day period.
2.7 Furnishing Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
of FS to take any action pursuant to Section 2.1, or 2.2 that JL shall furnish
6
to FS 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.
2.8 Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a
registration statement under Section 2.1 or 2.2:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, FS will indemnify and hold harmless JL and
its each of its directors, its officers, and each person, if any, who controls
FS within the meaning of the Securities Act, representatives and agents, against
any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may
become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or
state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following
statements, omissions, or violations (collectively a "Violation") by FS: (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 FS of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, or any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated
under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law in
connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and,
subject to Section 2.8(c), FS will pay as incurred to JL or any such person 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 2.8(a)
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 FS,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall FS be liable in any
such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent
that it arises out of 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 such person. With respect to any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement made in, or omission or alleged omission
from, any preliminary prospectus, any Rule 430A prospectus, or any prospectus,
the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) with respect to such
preliminary prospectus, Rule 430A prospectus, or prospectus, to the extent it is
based on the claim of a person who purchased securities directly from a person,
shall not inure to the benefit of such person (or to the benefit of any of its
partners, members, officers, directors, trustees, stockholders, employees,
agents, or counsel, or any person controlling such person ) if the prospectus
(or the prospectus as amended or supplemented if FS shall have filed with the
SEC any amendment or supplement thereto) which shall have been furnished to such
person prior to the time it sent written confirmation of or otherwise confirmed
such sale to such purchaser does not contain such statement, alleged statement,
omission, or alleged omission and a copy of the prospectus (or the prospectus as
amended or supplemented if FS shall have filed with the SEC any amendment or
supplement thereto) shall not have been sent or given to such purchaser and such
purchaser shall not otherwise have received a copy thereof at or prior to the
written confirmation of such sale.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, JL will, if Registrable Securities held by
JL are included in the securities as to which such registration is being
effected, indemnify and hold harmless FS, each of its directors, its officers,
7
and each person, if any, who controls FS within the meaning of the Securities
Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to
which FS or any such person may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent)
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by JL specifically for use in connection with such
registration; and, subject to Section 2.8(c), JL will pay as incurred any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by FS or any such person in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) 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 JL, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event
shall any indemnity obligation of JL; under this Section 2.8 exceed the net
proceeds received by JL from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 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 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party
a written notice 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 retain its own
counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
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 deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under
this Section 2.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect
to any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities referred to herein, the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder,
shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, or
liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other
in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage,
or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be
determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by
the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;
8
provided, that in no event shall any contribution by JL hereunder exceed the net
proceeds from the offering received by it. The parties hereto agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8
were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which
does not take into account the equitable consideration referred to in this
Section 2.8(d).
(e) The obligations of FS and JL under this Section 2.8 shall survive completion
of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the
termination of this Agreement. 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.
2.9 Rule 144. With a view to making available to JL the benefits of certain
rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable
Securities to the public without registration, FS agrees to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to, at all times at which any Registrable Securities are
eligible for sale under Rule 144 (other than paragraph (k) thereof):
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule
promulgated under the Securities Act;
(b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents
required of FS under the Exchange Act;
(c) furnish to JL, forthwith upon request, a written statement by FS as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the
Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of
FS, and such other reports and documents as JL may reasonably request
to sell Registrable Securities under Rule 144; and
(d) cooperate with JL in good faith to enable JL to deliver, promptly upon
any sale of Registrable Securities (or securities which, in the absence
of eligibility for sale under Rule 144, would be Registrable
Securities) by it under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, certificates
representing such securities which shall not contain any restrictive
legend.
