--- -- --------

dated March, 1989 (the "Business Plan").
2. Representations and Warranties of the Company.
--------------- --- ---------- -- --- -------
The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Investor as follows:
2.01 Organization and Good Standing. The Company is a corporation duly
------------ --- ---- --------
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Company has all requisite corporate power
and authority, and holds all licenses, permits and other required authorizations
from governmental authorities, necessary to conduct its business as now
conducted and the business contemplated by this Agreement, and is duly qualified
and in good standing in each jurisdiction in the United States where the failure
to qualify would have a material adverse effect on its operations or financial
condition. The Company has delivered to counsel to the Investors true, correct
and complete copies of the Company's Articles of Organization and bylaws in
effect on the date hereof.
2.02 Capitalization. The Company's authorized capitalization consists of
--------------
5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of which 1,500,000 shares are
issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, the authorized capital of the Company will consist of (i) 484,375 shares
of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, of which (a) 234,375 shares will be
designated Series A Preferred Stock and will be outstanding, and (b) 250,000
shares will be designated Series B Preferred Stock and will be outstanding; and
(ii) 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 1,500,000 shares will be
outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of the Company's stock have been
duly and validly authorized and issued, and the issuance of the Shares pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement shall be, on the Closing Date, duly and validly
authorized, and no further approval or authority of the shareholders or the
directors of the Company or of any governmental authority or agency will be
required by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Shares as contemplated
by this Agreement. When issued and sold to the Investors, the Shares will be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the Articles of
Amendment and the certificates representing the Shares will be duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and will con-
-2-
stitute valid and legally binding obligations in accordance with their
respective terms. The holders of the capital stock of the Company are not
entitled to any preemptive rights with respect to the sale of the Shares or any
other equity securities of the Company and are not entitled to any registration
rights, with respect to the capital stock held by them, for registration under
the Securities Act. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.02, there are no
outstanding options, warrants or other rights or commitments, written or oral,
to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized but unissued shares of the
capital stock of the Company, or any security directly or indirectly convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of the capital stock of the Company.
2.03 Financial Statements. The Company has furnished to counsel for the
--------- ----------
Investors a balance sheet as of May 31, 1989 and statement of cash flow for the
period from the Company's incorporation (May 11, 1989) through May 31, 1989
(which balance sheet and statements are hereinafter referred to as the
"Financial Statements"). The Financial Statements were prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, are correct and complete in all
material respects and fairly present the financial condition and operations of
the Company at the date thereof and for the period covered thereby.
2.04 Absence of Changes. Subsequent to the date of the balance sheet
------- -- -------
contained in the Financial Statements (the "Statement Date"), there has not been
any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), net worth
or results of operations of the Company, nor, to the knowledge of the Company,
has there occurred any event which would require disclosure in the Company's
financial statements in order that they may correctly, completely and fairly
present its financial condition in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
2.05 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in default in
---------- ---- ----- -----------
the performance of any material obligation, agreement or condition contained in
any bond or debenture or any other evidence of indebtedness or any indenture or
loan agreement of the Company which default affords to any Person the
unconditional right to accelerate any material indebtedness or terminate any
material right or agreement of the Company, and the Company is not in violation
of its Articles of Organization or bylaws. Neither the sale of the Shares, nor
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the fulfillment of the terms
herein set forth and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
will (i) conflict with or constitute a breach of, default under or violation of
the Articles of Organization or bylaws of the Company, any agreement, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust or other material instrument or undertaking by which the
Company is bound or to which it or any of its properties are subject, or, to the
best knowledge of the Company, a violation of any law, administrative
regulation, or court decree binding upon the Company, or (ii) result in the
creation or imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any
property or assets of the Company.
-3-
2.06 Authorization. The Company has the corporate power and authority to
-------------
enter into this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and this Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as such may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting
generally the enforcement of creditor's rights. No consent, approval,
authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or board is required
to consummate the same, except for acceptance for filing by the Secretary of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts of the Articles of Amendment.
2.07 Finders. No person is entitled, directly or indirectly, to
-------
compensation from the Company by reason of any contract or understanding or
contact with the Company, as a finder or broker in connection with the sale and
purchase of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement.
2.08 Taxes. The Company has filed all necessary federal and state
-----
property, income and franchise tax returns and has paid all taxes shown as due
thereon or otherwise owed by it to any taxing authority except those contested
in good faith and for which appropriate amounts have been reserved in accordance
with generally accepted principles; and there is no tax deficiency which has
been, or to the knowledge of the Company might be, asserted against the Company
which would materially affect the business or operations of the Company.
2.09 Litigation. There is not now pending or, to the knowledge of the
----------
Company, threatened, any litigation, action, suit or proceeding to which the
Company is or will be a party before or by any court or governmental agency or
body, which might result in any material adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise), business or prospects of the Company, or which might
materially and adversely affect the property or assets of the Company; nor, to
the knowledge of the Company is there any basis for any of the foregoing; and no
labor disturbance by the employees of the Company exists or is imminent which
might be expected materially to affect the conduct of the business, operations,
financial condition or income of the Company.
2.10 Properties. The Company has good and marketable title to all of its
----------
real and tangible personal properties and assets shown on the balance sheet
included in the Financial Statements, free and clear of all liens, charges, and
encumbrances except as set forth on said balance sheet.
2.11 Compliance with Law. To the knowledge of the Company, the Company
---------- ---- ---
has complied in all material respects with all applicable statutes and
regulations of the United States and of all states, municipalities and agencies
and of all foreign countries in respect of the conduct of its business.
-4-
2.12 Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures. The Company does not have any
------------- ----- --------
investment or other ownership interest in any other corporation, joint venture,
general partnership, limited partnership or other business entity.
2.13 Contracts and Commitments. The Company is not a party to any written
--------- --- -----------
or oral contract or agreement which is materially adverse to its present or
proposed business. Except for the Hologic License Agreement and the Hologic
Management Agreement, the Company is not a party to or bound by any agreements
which obligate the Company to pay (in the case of each agreement) in excess of
$25,000, or (in the aggregate) in excess of $50,000, or which are otherwise
material to the conduct and operation of its business (as conducted and proposed
to be conducted) and its properties, including without limitation all employment
and consulting agreements and employee benefit plans and arrangements to which
the Company is a party or by which it is bound. All of such agreements and
contracts are valid, binding and in full force and effect, and true and complete
copies thereof have been delivered to counsel to the Investors.
2.14 Outstanding Indebtedness. The Company has no indebtedness for
----------- ------------
borrowed money which the Company had directly or indirectly created, incurred,
assumed or guaranteed, or with respect to which the Company has otherwise become
directly or indirectly liable. The Company has no material liability or
obligation, absolute or contingent, which is not shown or provided for in the
Financial Statements or disclosed in the Exhibits to this Agreement.
2.15 Patents, Trademarks. The License and Technology Agreement dated June
-------- ----------
22, 1989 between the Company and Hologic, Inc. (the "Hologic License") is in
full force and effect and the Company is in compliance therewith. To the best
knowledge of the Company, the Hologic License provides to the Company all
intellectual property rights held by any third party reasonably necessary to
enable the company to develop the product described in the Business Plan. In
addition, the Company owns or possesses, or can obtain by payment of royalties
in amounts which, in the aggregate, do not materially adversely affect the
proposed business and the prospects of the Company, all of the patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights and licenses, or rights to
the foregoing, necessary for the conduct of the Company's business as proposed
to be conducted. To the best of the Company's knowledge, and subject to the
Hologic License, the business proposed by the Company will not cause the Company
to infringe rights of others under patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights and licenses.
2.16 Conflicting Agreements. To the best of the Company's knowledge,
----------- ----------
except for the Hologic Management Agreement, no officer, director, key employee,
prospective key employee or principal shareholder of the Company is a party to
or bound by any agreement, contract or commitment, or subject to any
restrictions
-5-
in connection with any previous or current employment of any such person, which
materially and adversely affect, the proposed business or operations of the
Company or such person's ability to perform his duties as an officer, director
or employee or to own stock in the Company.
2.17 Compliance with Securities Act of 1933. Within the past twelve
---------- ---- ---------- --- -- ----
months, neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has,
directly or indirectly, offered any capital stock, including the Shares or any
part thereof, or any rights, warrants or options to purchase any capital stock
of the Company, for sale to, or solicited any offers to buy any of the same
from, or negotiated with respect to any of the foregoing with, any person other
than the Investors and existing holders of Common Stock and options to purchase
Common Stock.
Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has,
directly or indirectly, taken or will take any action which would subject the
issuance or sale of the Shares to the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. All shares of capital stock of the Company heretofore sold and
issued by it were sold and issued in compliance with all applicable Federal and
state securities laws.
2.18 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement, the Business Plan of the
----------
Company, nor any financial statement, certificate, list, exhibit or other
written statement pertaining to the Company or to any officer, director, key
employee or principal shareholder, made or delivered to the Investors by the
Company or by its officers, directors, shareholders or employees, or the
authorized agents thereof, contains (when read together) any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
under which they were made., except that the total proceeds to the Company from
this offering is $1,000,000 less than the amount reflected by the Business Plan
required to achieve positive cash flow, and the Company may require further
funding as described in the Business Plan. There exists no fact or circumstance
which, to the knowledge of any officer of the Company, materially and adversely
affects or will affect (so far as such persons can now reasonably foresee) the
business, properties or assets, or condition, financial or otherwise, of the
Company, both at the present and as proposed.
2.19 Closing Date. The representations and warranties of the Company
------- ----
contained in this Agreement and all information contained in any exhibit,
schedule or attachment hereto will be true and correct in all material respects
on the Closing Date as though then made and as though the Closing Date were
substituted for the date of this Agreement throughout this Agreement, except as
affected by the transactions expressly contemplated by this Agreement.
3. Representations and Warranties of Founders. S. Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx
--------------- --- ---------- -- --------
("Xxxxxxxxxx") and Xxx X. Xxxxx ("Xxxxx") (individually, the "Founder") each
represents and warrants to each Investor as follows:
-6-
3.01 Conflicting Agreements. Such Founder is not in violation of any term
----------- ----------
of any employment contract, patent or other proprietary information disclosure
or assignment agreement or any other contract, agreement, or any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative agency relating to or affecting
the right of such Founder to be employed by the Company because of the nature of
the business conducted or proposed to be conducted by the Company or for any
other reason. No such term, judgment, decree, or order conflicts with such
Founder's obligation to use his best efforts to promote the interests of the
Company nor does the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying
on of the Company's business as an officer of the Company, conflict with any
such term, judgment, decree or order.
3.02 Conflicts of Interests. Such Founder, the members of such Founder's
--------- -- ---------
immediate family and any corporations, partnership or other business entity in
which such Founder and such persons have, in the aggregate, more than a five
percent (5%) equity or income interest are not a party to any transaction,
agreement or understanding to which the Company is also a party and do not have
any interest in any Person with whom the Company does or intends to do business,
other than Hologic.
While employed by the Company, such Founder will devote such time to the
business of himself to the Company as may be appropriate and, except for his
employment by Hologic, on a full-time basis and will not engage in any other
business activity, either on a full-time or part-time basis, as an employee, a
consultant or in any other capacity, and whether or not he receives any
compensation therefor; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit
such Founder from making and managing passive investments, which activities do
not, in the aggregate, materially interfere with such Founder's performance of
his duties to the Company.
4. Representations and Warranties of Investors.
--------------- --- ---------- -- ---------
4.01 Investment Intent. Each Investor hereby represents and warrants to
---------- ------
the Company that he or it is purchasing or acquiring the Securities for his or
its own account for investment and not with a present view to, or for sale in
connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.
Each Investor hereby consents to the imposition of a legend substantially
similar to the following on each certificate representing the Securities, and
each Investor agrees that he will abide by the restrictions contained therein:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act") and may not be sold, transferred or assigned
unless such shares are registered under the Act or an
opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the corporation, is
obtained to the effect that such sale, transfer or
assignment is exempt
-7-
from the registration requirements of the Act."
4.02 Authorization. Each Investor has the power and authority to enter
-------------
into this Agreement and to perform all of his or its obligations hereunder, and
no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency
or board is required to consummate the same.
4.03 Restricted Securities. Each Investor is experienced in evaluating
---------- ----------
and investing in young, high technology companies such as the Company. Each
Investor understands that the Shares and Conversion Stock have not been
registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the
registration provision of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other
things, the bona fide nature of his or its investment intent as expressed
herein. Each Investor acknowledges that the Shares and Conversion Stock when
received, must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered
under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.
Each Investor has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, which rule permits limited resale of
securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, contained therein. Each Investor understands that Rule 144
is not presently available for the resale of his or its Shares.
4.04 Finders. No person is entitled, directly or indirectly, to
-------
compensation from any Investor by reason of any contract or understanding or
contact with such Investor, as a finder or broker in connection with the sale
and purchase of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement.
5. Covenants of the Company.
--------- -- --- -------
So long as any Investor is the owner of any of the Securities or any other
security of the Company or of any successor issued in exchange for the
Securities, but not after the Company has filed a report with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act by reason of
the Company having registered its Common Stock pursuant to Section 12(g) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company agrees that:
5.01 Compliance with Law. It will not knowingly contravene any material
---------- ---- ---
governmental laws, domestic or foreign, applicable to it, unless their validity
is contested reasonably and in good faith, and it will maintain and cause each
of its Subsidiaries to maintain, in good standing, their respective rights and
qualifications to do business in all United States jurisdictions in which they
may from time to time conduct business and own their respective properties and
where failure to qualify would have a material adverse effect on their
operations or financial condition, to the extent necessary therefor. The
Company will at all times remain a corporation incorporated under the laws of
the United States or of one of the States thereof.
-8-
5.02 Accounting System. It will maintain and cause each of its
---------- ------
Subsidiaries to maintain a system of accounting established and administered in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied,
and will set aside on its books and cause each of its operating Subsidiaries to
set aside on its books all such proper reserves as shall be required under
generally accepted accounted principles consistently applied.
5.03 Board of Directors.
----- -- ---------
(a) Representatives of Investors. The Company presently intends to
--------------- -- ---------
maintain the authorized number of members of its Board of Directors at not more
than seven (7). The Investors shall have the right to designate in writing (i)
up to three (3) nominees to be included among management's nominees to be
elected as directors of the Company if the authorized number of directors
exceeds five (5), and (ii) up to two (2) nominees to be so included if the
authorized number of directors equals five (5) or less. Two nominees shall be
designees of Burr, Egan, Deleage & Co. and the third designee, if any, shall be
selected by the Investors. The designees of the Investors shall be subject to
approval by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Company hereby agrees to use its best efforts to cause such representatives to
be elected to the Company's Board of Directors and to be renominated and
reelected annually until the number of shares of capital stock then held by all
of the Investors represents less than five percent (5%) of the total voting
power of the Company. One of the initial designees of the Burr, Egan, Deleage &
Co. shall be Xxxxx Xxxxx. The Company shall give notice of each meeting of the
Board of Directors to the Investors, shall permit a representative of the
Investors to attend such meeting as a guest of the Board of Directors and shall
provide to Investors who so request, copies of minutes of all action taken by
the Board of Directors, whether at meetings or by written consent.
(b) Voting Agreement. The Investors agree to vote the shares of
------ ---------
voting securities of the Company held or controlled by them, and will otherwise
use their best efforts to elect and maintain in office as a director of the
Company: (i) each of Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx, such agreement to terminate with
respect to each such person when the number of shares of capital stock then held
by such person represents less than five percent (5%) of the total voting power
of the Company or such person is no longer employed by the Company or a
Subsidiary; and (ii) one (1) additional designee of Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx, if the
authorized number of directors is five (5) or less, and two (2) additional
designees of Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx, if the authorized number of directors exceeds
five (5), until the voting agreement under clause (i) with respect to both
Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx has terminated. In any particular election of directors,
the foregoing agreement of the Investors will not apply to any of the Investors
unless Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx first vote in favor of themselves or each other and
their designees the shares of the Company's voting
-9-
securities held or controlled by them. In addition, if in any particular
election of directors, the Investors exercise the foregoing right to designate
up to two (or three) persons to be included among management's nominees, then
the foregoing voting agreement of the Investors will not apply until the
Investors have first voted the shares of the voting securities of the Company
held or controlled by the Investors in favor of such designees to the Board of
Directors.
(c) Expenses of Directors. The representatives of the Investors who
-------- -- ---------
serve as Directors shall be reimbursed by the Company for reasonable out-of-
pocket travel and other expenses, if any, incurred by them in attending Board of
Directors' meetings and in performing their duties as Directors.
(d) Board Approval Requirement. The minimum number of votes required
----- -------- -----------
for the approval of actions and the adoption of resolutions by the Board of
Directors shall be a majority of the actual number of directors then in office.

instruments that provide any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
acquire shares of Common Stock or other Voting Stock, as may be offered by the
Company from time to time after the Closing Date (any such shares being herein
referred to as "New Shares"), all pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Section 8.
8.01 Eligible Offerings; Notice. The Company shall deliver written notice
-------- ---------- ------
to the Investors of the terms and conditions of each offering, borrowing or
other similar transaction, not intended to be registered under the Securities
Act, pursuant to which the Company intends to issue New Shares. Such notice
shall be delivered to the Investors not later than twenty (20) business days
prior to the date upon which any such transaction closes. By such notice, the
Company shall offer to sell to the Investors the applicable amount of securities
calculated pursuant to Section 8.03.
8.02 Acceptance. Each Investor may accept any such offer in whole or in
----------
part by delivering to the Company a written agreement to make such purchase,
executed by such Investor, specifying the
-16-
amount of the securities to be purchased by such Investor, not later than ten
(10) business days following the date of delivery of the offer to such Investor
by the Company. The terms and conditions, price, timing of closing and other

Investor for purchase pursuant to this Section 8 shall, with respect to each

pursuant to Section 5.12 hereof or otherwise;
provided, however, that any such issuance of New Shares and the terms thereof
have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company by unanimous written
consent or at a meeting at which [a majority of] the representatives of the
Investors are present and vote in favor thereof.
8.05 No Accumulation. Each transaction or proposed issuance under this
-- ------------
Section 8 is a separate transaction. The failure of an Investor to exercise in
whole or in part any prior offer shall not increase his or its rights with
respect to any future transaction subject hereto and the rights of any Investor
under this Section 8 with respect to any transactions are reduced pro rata to
the extent that such Investor acquires securities of the Company by
participating directly in such transaction.
8.06 Rights Personal. The rights created by this Section 8 are personal to
------ --------
the Investors and may not be assigned, except in connection with a transfer of
Securities purchased hereunder by any Investor which is a corporation or

Stockholders may request in such notice of election. Thereupon, the Company

registration, on the requested form of Registration Statement, of all
Registrable Shares which the Company has been requested to register. If such
request is in connection with an underwritten public offering, the underwriters
will be selected by the Company, subject to the approval of a majority of the
requesting holders, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
The Company shall not be required to effect more than one registration
pursuant to this paragraph (a). In addition, the Company shall not be required
to effect any registration within six months after the effective date of any
other Registration Statement of the Company.

include Registrable Shares pursuant to paragraph (a), or (ii) is engaged in any
other activity which, in the good faith determination of the Company's Board of
Directors, would be adversely affected by the requested registration to the
material detriment of the Company, then the Company may at its option direct
that such request be delayed for a period not in excess of six months from the
effective date of such offering or the date of commencement of such other
material activity, as the case may be, such right to delay a request to be
exercised by the Company not more than once in any two year period. In an event

Section 9.04 hereof.

Statement covering any of its securities, whether of its own accord or at the
request or demand of any holder or holders of such securities, and if the
Registration Statement proposed to be used may be used for the registration of
Registrable Shares (an "Incidential Registration"), the Company will thereupon
give prompt written notice to all Stockholders of its intention to do so, and,
upon the written request of any such Stockholder made within 15 days after the
receipt of any such notice (which request will specify the Registrable Shares
intended to be disposed of by such Stockholder and state the intended method of
disposition thereof), the Company will use its best efforts to cause all such
Registrable Shares, the holders of which have so requested the registration
thereof, to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent requisite to
permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as
aforesaid) by the holders of the Registrable Shares to be so registered;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to use its best
efforts to cause all Registrable Shares of requesting holders to be registered
unless the aggregate proposed selling price of such Registrable Shares is
$250,000.
(b) If an Incidental Registration is a primary registration on behalf
of the Company and is in connection with an underwritten public offering, and if
the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion
the number of securities requested to be included in such registration (whether
by the Company, the holders of Registrable Shares pursuant to paragraph (a) of
this Section 9.04 or other holders of securities pursuant to any other rights
granted by the Company to demand inclusion of any such securities which can be
sold in such offering, the Company will include in such registration the number
of securities requested to be included which in the opinion of such underwriters
can be sold in the following order (i) first, all of the shares the Company
proposes to sell, (ii) second, all of the Registrable Shares requested to be
included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Shares,
and (iii)
-20-
third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration.
(c) If an Incidental Registration is a secondary registration on
behalf of holders of the Company's securities and is in connection with an
underwritten public offering, and if the managing underwriters advise the
Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to
be included in such registration (whether by such holders, by holders of
Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 9.03 of this Section 9 or by holders of
its securities pursuant to any other rights granted by the Company to demand
inclusion of securities in such registration) exceeds the number of securities
which can be sold in such offering, the Company will include in such offering
the number of securities requested to be included which in the opinion of such
underwriters can be sold in the following manner (i) first, the securities
requested to be included by the holders demanding such registration, and (ii)
second, any other securities (including the Registrable Shares, if the
Stockholders did not demand such registration pursuant to Section 9.03 requested
to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of all such
securities on the basis of the number of shares of such securities held by each
such holder.
(d) The rights given to the holders of Registrable Shares pursuant to
this Section 9.04 shall terminate, with respect to a particular holder, when
such holder may sell an unlimited number of Registrable Shares without regard to
any limitation on the number of securities to be sold, the manner of sale or any
other aspects of the proposed transfer, as such may be limited by Rule 144 or
any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission promulgated under the
Securities Act.
9.05 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by
------------ ----------
the provisions of this Agreement to use its best efforts to effect the
registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the
Company shall:

such Registrable Shares and use its best efforts to cause that Registration
Statement to become and remain effective;

consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of the

as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in
any jurisdiction.

therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and as
expeditiously as possible prepare and furnish to such selling Stockholder a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such
prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such Registrable Shares, such prospectus will 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
light of the circumstances then existing;
(f) cause all such Registrable Shares covered by such Registration
Statement to be listed on securities exchanges on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed, if any;

against the same losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
described in the preceding paragraph, in respect of any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) in or omission (or alleged omission) from any
Registration Statement or preliminary or final prospectus, if the statement or
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such seller, specifically for use
in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or prospectus.
9.08 Indemnification with Respect to Underwritten Offering. In the event
