4.1 Authorization. This Agreement constitutes its valid and
legally binding obligation. Each Investor represents that it has full power and
authority to enter into this Agreement. Each Investor has duly and validly taken
all corporate or partnership action necessary for the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by such Investor.
4.2 Purchase for Own Account. The Purchased Shares to be
purchased by such Investor hereunder and the Conversion Shares issuable upon
conversion thereof (collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Securities")
will be acquired for investment for such Investor's own account, not as a
nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution
thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and such Investor has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing
the same.
4.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has
received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding
whether to purchase the Purchased Shares to be purchased by it hereunder. Such
Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Purchased Shares. The foregoing, however, does not in any way
limit or modify the representations and warranties made by the Company and MCI
in Section 3.
4.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor has experience as an
investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges
that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment
in the Purchased Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or
business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this
investment in the Purchased Shares. Such Investor also represents that it has
not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Purchased Shares and that
the amount of this investment does not exceed 10%-of such Investor's net worth.
4.5 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the
Securities such Investor is purchasing are characterized as "restricted
securities" under the 1933 Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the
Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the 1933
Act and applicable regulations thereunder such Securities may be resold without
registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this
connection, each Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 of the
SEC, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed
thereby and by the 1933 Act.
4.6 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way
limiting the representations set forth above, each Investor further agrees not
to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Purchased Shares or the
Conversion Shares unless and until:
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement
under the 1933 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is
made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) (i) such Investor shall have notified the Company
of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii)
such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel,
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require
registration of such securities under the 1933 Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such
registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for any
transfer of any Purchased Shares or Conversion Shares in accordance with SEC
Rule 144, or (ii) for any transfer of any Purchased Shares or Conversion Shares
by an Investor that is a partnership to the estate of any such partner ! or for
the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession by any partner to his or her
spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, provided that in each of the
foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of
this Section 4 to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Investor
hereunder.
4.7 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing
the Purchased Shares and the Conversion Shares may bear the legend set forth
below, together with other legends required by the laws of the State of Utah or
any other state:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE
-ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND
UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION
OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO
THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR
TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE
THEREWITH.
The legend set forth above shall be removed by the Company from any certificate
evidencing Purchased Shares or Conversion Shares upon delivery to the Company of
an opinion by counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that a registration statement under the 1933 Act is at that time in
effect with respect to the legended security or that such security can be freely
transferred in a public sale without such a registration statement being in
effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions
from registration pursuant to which the Purchased Shares or Conversion Shares
were issued.
4.8 Cordis Representations. Cordis hereby represents and
warrants to the Company, MCI and the New Investors that:
(a) the shares of MCI Common Stock being transferred

held by Cordis, or in which Cordis has any interest, and such shares shall be
transferred to the Company free and clear of any liens or encumbrances.

7.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 7:
(a) The terms "register", "registered," and of
registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a
registration statement or similar document in compliance with the 1933 Act, and
the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or
document;
(b) The term "Registrable Securities" means the
Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any of the Purchased Shares
and (ii) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the
conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued
as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in
replacement of, the Purchased Shares and/or the other securities described above
in this paragraph (b), excluding in all cases, however, any Registrable
Securities acquired in a transaction or series of transactions in which the
rights under this Section 7 were not assigned or were not assignable;
(c) The term "Registrable Securities then
outstanding" means the shares of Common Stock which are Registrable Securities
and (i) are then issued and outstanding or (ii) are then issuable pursuant to
then exercisable or convertible securities;
(d) The term "Holder" means any person owning of
record Registrable Securities that have not been sold to the public pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or exemption therefrom;
provided that a holder of Purchased Shares or other securities convertible into,
or exercisable or exchangeable for, Registrable Securities shall be considered
to be a Holder of the Registrable Securities into which such securities can be
converted into, or exercised or exchanged for, provided, however, that in no
event shall the Company be required to register any securities except the
Registrable Securities; and
(e) The term "Form S-3" means such form under the
1933 Act as in effect on the date hereof or any successor registration form
under the 1933 Act subsequently adopted by the SEC which permits inclusion or
incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed
by the Company with the SEC.
7.2 Demand Registration.
(a) Request for Registration. If the Company shall
receive at any time after the earlier of (i) July 15, 1990, or (ii) six (6)
months after the effective date of the first registration statement filed under
the 1933 Act for a public offering of securities of the Company (other than a
registration statement relating solely to a merger, recapitalization or
reorganization), a written request from the Holders of at least fifty percent
(50%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a
registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the registration of all or a
portion of the Registrable Securities then outstanding held by such Hulders, and
the aggregate gross sales price of all Registrable Securities expected to be
registered is reasonably expected to be greater than $1,000,000, then the
Company shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice
of such request to all Holders and shall, subject to the limitations of
subsection 7.2(b), effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the
1933 Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be
registered within twenty (20) days of the mailing of such notice by the Company
in accordance with Section 9.6.
(b) Underwriting Requirements. If the Holders
initiating the registration (the "Initiation Holders") intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to
this Section 7.2, and the Company shall include such information in the written
notice referred to in subsection 7.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder
to include such Holder's Registrable Securities in a registration effected
pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's ,
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall
(together with the Company as provided in subsection 7.5(e)) enter into an
underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters
selected for such underwriting by the Initiating Holders and approved by the
Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 7.2, if the underwriter advises the Initiating
Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of
Registrable Securities to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so
advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be
underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities
that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders
thereof in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable
Securities then outstanding owned by each Holder.
(c) Number of Demand Registrations. The Company is
obligated to effect only two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section
7.2.
(d) Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses
other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with
registrations pursuant to this Section 7.2, and related filings and
qualifications, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and
qualification fees, printer's and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements (up to
$10,000) of one counsel for the selling Holders shall be borne by the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any
expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 7.2 if
the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders
of at least 60% of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case
the Holders requesting the withdrawal shall bear such expenses, pro rata, based
on the number of Registrable Securities each was to include in the
registration), unless the Holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the
Registrable Securities then outstanding agree to forfeit their right to one
demand registration pursuant to this Section 7.2; provided further, however,
that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material
adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that
known to the Holders at the time of their registration request, then the Holders
shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights
pursuant to this Section 7.2.
7.3 Incidental (Piggyback) Registration.
(a) Request for Registration. If the Company proposes
to register any of its stock or other securities under the 1933 Act in
connection with the public offering of such securities (including for this
purpose a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the
Holders but excluding a registration relating solely either to the sale of
securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock purchase, stock
option or similar plan, or to a merger, recapitalization, or reorganization),
the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of
such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty
(20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section
9.6, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3(b), cause to be
registered under the 1933 Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such
Holder has requested to be registered.
(b) Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any
offering involving an underwriting of shares being issued by the Company, the
Company shall not be required under this Section 7.3 to include any of a
Holder's Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless such Holder accepts
the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and terms and
conditions set forth herein the underwriters selected by it. If the total amount
of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by security holders
of the Company to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities
sold other than by the Company that the underwriters reasonably believe is
compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required
to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including
Registrable Securities, which the underwriters believe will not jeopardize the
success of the offering. If any securities held by security holders of the
Company are to be included in the offering, Registrable Securities held by any
of the Holders shall be included prior to securities held by any other security
holders (the securities to be included to be apportioned pro rata first among
the Holders of Registrable Securities in proportion, as nearly as practical, to
the amount of Registrable Securities then outstanding owned by each Holder, and
then, if additional securities may be included, among the other selling security
holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included
therein owned by each such selling security holder; or in such other proportions
as shall mutually be agreed to by such other selling security holders).
For purposes of the preceding parentheticals concerning apportionment, for any
selling security holder which is a Holder of Registrable Securities and which is
a terms and conditions set forth herein partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and shareholders of such holder, or the estates and
family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the
benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "selling
security holder", and any pro rata reduction with respect to such selling
security holder shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
selling security holder, as defined in this sentence.
(c) Expenses of Incidental (Piggyback) Registration.
The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any
registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to
registrations pursuant to Section 7.3 for each Holder, including without
limitation all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers' and
accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto and the reasonable fees and
disbursements (up to $10,000) of one counsel for the selling Holders (as a
group) selected by them, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions
relating to Registrable Securities. The Company shall have the right to select
the states in which the registration shall be qualified, provided, however, that
if the Holders request qualification in additional states the Company shall use
best efforts to qualify the registration in such states, provided that the
Holders pay any costs directly associated with such additional qualifications.
(d) Company withdrawal of Registration. The Company
shall have no liability to any Holder for the Company's withdrawal of any
registration (other than a registration made pursuant to Section 7.2) as to
which a Holder has registration rights under this Section 7.3, provided such
withdrawal is made in good faith by the Company and not for the purpose of
impairing any Holder's rights under this Section 7.3.
7.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive
from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or
requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related
qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed
registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders;
and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration
and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would
permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such
Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request,
together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other
Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request
given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the
Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect
any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 7.4:
(1) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders; (2) if the
Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company
entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable
Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the
public of less than $250,000; (3) if the Company has successfully effected one
or more registrations on Form S-3 pursuant to this Section 7.4 within the six
(6) month period immediately preceding the date on which the Company receives
from a Holder or Holders a written request to effect a registration pursuant to
this Section 4; (4) if the Company would be required to undertake an audit in
addition to its normal year-end audit, unless the Holders requesting the
registration agree to pay for such audit, or unless the additional audit is
necessitated by the Company's decision to delay the registration as permitted by
the following sentence. Additionally, the Company may postpone a requested S-3
registration for a period of time not to exceed four months, if the Board of
Directors determines in good faith, and so notifies the Holders requesting
registration, that an S-3 registration at the requested time would materially
adversely affect the public market for the Company's securities, provided that
this right may not be used more than once in a given 12-month period.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file
a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other
securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of
the request or requests of the Holders. All expenses incurred in connection with
the registrations requested pursuant to this Section 7.4, including (without
limitation) all registration, filing, qualification, printer's and accounting
fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements (up to $5,000) of one counsel for
the selling Holder or Holders (as a group) and counsel for the Company, shall be
borne by the Company. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall
not be counted as registrations effected pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3.
(d) The Company is obligated to effect only three (3)
such registrations pursuant to this Section 7.4.
7.5 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this
Section 7 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company
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 best efforts
to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request
of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered
thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to ninety (90)
consecutive days.
(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.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the 1933 Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned
by them and covered by a registration statement filed under this Section 7.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holders, 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 states or jurisdictions, and provided further,
that, in connection with a registration pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.4 hereof,
the Company shall not be required to qualify securities in more than 10 states
unless the Holders pay the costs directly associated with such additional
qualifications.
(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering,
enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual
and customary form, with the managing underwriters of such offering. Each Holder
participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement as promptly as possible, at any time when
a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 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.
(g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7, on the date
that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in
connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 7, if such securities
are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold
through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect
to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of
the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in
form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders
requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated as of
such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in
form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable
Securities; provided that the Company need only use its best efforts to furnish
the letter from the Company's accountants described in the immediately preceding
clause (ii).
7.6 Obligations of Holders. It shall be a condition precedent
to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 7
that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company, at their expense, such
information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and
the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to
effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
7.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall 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 Section 7.
7.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities
are included in a registration statement under this Section 7:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, agents, officers and
directors of each Holder, any underwriter, (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) for such
Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter 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 may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 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"): (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 in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and
the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, agent, officer or
director, underwriter or controlling person 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 7.8(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 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 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 Holder, partner, officer, director, underwriter
or controlling person of such Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 7.8, this indemnity shall not apply to a person
indemnified in this Section 7.8(a) insofar as it relates to any untrue
statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in a
prospectus used by such person after the Company has advised such person in
writing that the prospectus is out of date or no longer accurate and the Company
has stated that the use of the prospectus should be discontinued.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling
Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each of the
Company's agents, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the 1933 Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities
under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners,
directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder, against any
losses, claims, damages, or -liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company
or any such director, officer, agent, controlling person, underwriter, or other
such Holder, partner or director, officer or controlling person of such other
Holder may become subject under the 1933 Act, the 1934 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 such Holder expressly
for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any
such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder,
partner, officer, agent, director, or controlling person of such other Holder in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section 7.8(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 the Holder, (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);
and provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section
7.8(b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under this Section 7.8 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 7.8,
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 reasonable 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, shall not relieve such indemnifying party
of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7.8, unless and to
the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby, and 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 7.8.
(d) The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company
and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any
Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the
amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration
statement-in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the
SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity
agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final
Prospectus was furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or
damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the 1933 Act.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under
this Section 7.8 shall survive the conversion, if any, of the Purchased Shares,
the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration
statement under this Section 7, and otherwise.
7.9 Rule 144 Information; Reports Under-1934 Act. With a view
to making available to the Holders 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 a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as
those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after
ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement
filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) take such action, including the voluntary
registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, as is
necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their
Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the
end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the
Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared
effective;
(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports
and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act;
and
(d) furnish to any Holder of Registrable Securities,
forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has
complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after
ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement
filed by the Company), the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has
become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualified as a
registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time
after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in
availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the
selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
7.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause
the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 7 may be
assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of at least 150,000 of the
Purchased Shares, or an equivalent amount of Registrable Securities, or any
combination thereof. The Company shall be furnished, within a reasonable time
after such transfer, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, rights to
cause the Company to register securities may be assigned to any partner, partner
of a partner, retired partner, shareholder or affiliate of the Company or of a
Holder, or to the spouse, children, grandchildren, parents or siblings of an
Investor, or trust for the benefit of an Investor or any such persons,
regardless of the number of shares transferred.
7.11 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and
after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Holders of sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable
Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or
prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such
holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration
filed under Section 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 hereof, unless under the terms of such
agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any
such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will
not reduce the amount of Registrable Securities of the Holders that are
included, or (b) to make a demand registration which could result in such
registration statement being declared effective prior to one hundred twenty
(120) days after the earlier of either of the dates set forth in the first
sentence of subsection 7.2(a), or within one hundred twenty (120) days of the
effective date of any registration effected pursuant to Section 7.2, or (c) to
have incidental (piggyback) registration rights that conflict with or are prior
or superior to the rights granted to the Holders in Section 7.3.
7.12 Suspension of Registration Rights. Provided that (i) the
Company has previously closed a firm commitment public offering of the Common
Stock of the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, filed
with, and declared effective by, the SEC pursuant to the 1933 Act and (ii) there
then exists an active public trading market for the Company's Common Stock, the
registration rights contained in this Section 7 shall be suspended as to any
Holder who: (a) (i) is legally able to sell all such Holder's Registrable
Securities to the public without registration in two (2) consecutive three (3)
month periods pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933
Act and (ii) owns less than (2%) of the Company's outstanding Common Stock,
calculated as provided in this Section 7.12. In calculating the amount of Common
Stock held by such Holder and the total amount of Common Stock outstanding for
purposes of this Section 7.12, there shall be deemed outstanding all shares of
the Company's Common Stock issuable on conversion, exchange or exercise of any
outstanding securities of the Company.
7.13 Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this
Section 7 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the holders
of sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding;
provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver that materially and
adversely affects Cordis in a manner substantially different than the New
Investors shall be binding on Cordis without Cordis' approval. Any amendment
or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each
Holder and the Company and shall treat each Holder on an equal and ratable
basis, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the adversely treated
Holder(s). By acceptance of any benefits under this Section 7, holders of
Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder.
7.14 Standoff Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, in
connection with the first registration of the Company's Common Stock (or other
securities) covering an underwritten offering of such stock or securities to the
general public, such Holder shall not, to the extent requested by the Company or
the underwriter of such offering, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose (other
than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) of any Registrable Securities
(other than those Registrable Securities which are included, in such
registration) without the prior written consent of the Company or such
underwriters, as the case may be, for such period of time (not to exceed ninety
(90) days) from the effective date of the registration statement for such
registration as the Company or such underwriters may specify in writing;
provided, however, that:
(a) such agreement shall be applicable only to the
first registration statement of the Company which covers .shares of Common Stock
(or other securities) to be sold on the Company's behalf to the general public
in an underwritten offering; and
(b) all executive officers and directors of the
Company and all other persons with registration rights (whether or not granted
pursuant to this Agreement) enter into similar agreements.

to provide either of the documents described in (i) or (ii) above, if requested,
it shall promptly notify such Investor in writing of the reasons for such
inability. Finally, upon the request of an Investor and without regard to
whether either document described in (i) or (ii) above has been requested, the
Company shall cooperate fully with the efforts of such Investor to obtain a
"qualifying statement," within the meaning of Section 1445(b)(4) of the Code or
such other documents as would excuse a transferee of a foreign investor's
interest from withholding of income tax imposed pursuant to Sections 897(a) And
1445 of the Code.

to cause two nominees of the Investors to be members of the Company's Board of

date of commencement of their employment, term of office, or consultancy, as the
case may be, with the Company, provided, however, that non-officer employees and

its stock.
