EXHIBIT 10.9
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of March 30, 1999,
among OpenSite Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company") and the parties listed on Schedule I attached
hereto (the "Investors")
INTRODUCTION
The Company and certain of the Investors have entered into a Share
Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30, 1999 (the "Share Purchase
Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company is issuing, and
the Investors are acquiring, shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), of the Company which are
convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"). Certain of the Investors own shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), of
the Company, or shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Series B Preferred Stock" and, together with the Series A Preferred Stock
and the Series C Preferred Stock, the "Preferred Stock" and, together with the
Common Stock, the "Capital Stock"), of the Company.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company is a
condition precedent to the obligations of the Investors under the Share
Purchase Agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing, the covenants and obligations set
forth below, the parties agree as follows:
1. Registration on Request.
(a) Request. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1(b),
at any time after the earlier of (x) the third year anniversary of this
agreement and (y) six months after the effective date of the Company's
registration statement for its Initial Public Offering , a Holder or Holders
(as defined in Section 9(b)) may require, upon written notice to the Company,
the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Securities
Act") of all or part of the Registrable Securities (as defined in Section 9(b))
held by such requesting Holder or Holders; provided, however, that Holders of
Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock shall not, in the
aggregate, be permitted to exercise any demand right until an Initial Public
Offering of the Company; and provided, further, that Holders of Series A
Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock shall not be permitted to make more
than one demand right for a registration on a Registration Statement on Form
S-1 and the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be permitted to make
more than three demand rights for a registration on a Registration Statement on
Form S-1. The Company promptly shall give notice of such requested registration
to all Holders of Registrable Securities who are entitled to join in such
registration and thereupon, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect,
on the earliest possible date, the registration under the Securities Act for
public sale (in accordance with the method of disposition specified in the
notice from the requesting Holders), of the Registrable Securities that the
Company has been requested to register by such requesting Holders and the other
Registrable Securities that the Company has been requested to register by the
Holders thereof by written notice given to the Company within 20 days after the
giving of such notice by the Company.
(b) Limitations. The Company shall not be required to effect a
registration pursuant to Section 1(a):
2
(i) unless either (A) the reasonably anticipated
aggregate offering price to the public (net of underwriting
commissions and discounts) of all Registrable Securities for which
registration has been requested by Holders, together with any shares
sold by the Company for its own account, will be in excess of
$20,000,000 in the case of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 and
$10,000,000 if a Registration Statement on Form S-3 is used or (B) the
aggregate amount of Registrable Securities for which registration has
been requested includes all of the Registrable Securities held by the
Investors;
(ii) within 60 days after the effective date of a
registration statement (a "Registration Statement") filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
for a public offering and sale of equity securities of the Company
(other than a registration of securities (A) pursuant to a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4, any Registration
Statement covering only securities proposed to be issued in exchange
for securities or assets of another corporation or any Registration
Statement relating solely to, a dividend reinvestment plan, employee
stock option, stock purchase, benefit or similar plans (a "Special
Registration Statement") or (B) effected pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form S-3); provided that the Company shall use its best
efforts to achieve effectiveness of a registration requested hereunder
promptly following such 60 day period if such request is made during
such 60 day period; and
(iii) on more than four occasions it being understood and
agreed that a registration effected using a Registration Statement on
Form S-3 shall not be counted as a registration under this Section;
(c) Effective Registration Statement. A registration requested
pursuant to this Section 1 shall not be deemed to have been effected, and shall
not be deemed a requested registration for purposes of Section 1, (i) unless a
Registration Statement covering at least 90% of the Registrable Securities
specified in the notices from the requesting Holders has become effective and
remained effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement for the requisite time period as set forth in this
Agreement; provided that a registration which does not become effective after
the Company has filed a Registration Statement with respect thereto solely by
reason of the refusal to proceed of the requesting Holders (other than a
refusal to proceed based upon the advice of counsel relating to a material
matter with respect to the Company) shall be deemed to have been effected by
the Company at the request of such requesting Holders unless the requesting
Holders shall have elected to pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
such registration, (ii) if after it has become effective, such registration is
interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of
the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not
attributable to the Holders, or (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in
the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such
registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure on
the part of the Holders.
(d) Priority in Requested Registration. The Company shall have the
right to include in any Registration Statement initiated by the Holders
pursuant to this Section 1, for sale in accordance with the method of
disposition specified by the requesting Holders, securities to be sold by the
Company for its own account and Registrable Securities to be sold by any other
stockholder pursuant to incidental registration rights granted to such
stockholder in accordance with Section 16 ("Other Holders"). If, in the
good-faith judgment of the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering,
if any, the inclusion of all of the Registrable Securities requested for
inclusion pursuant to Section 1(a) would adversely affect the successful
marketing of the proposed offering or a reduction in the number of shares of
Common Stock
2
3
to be sold is otherwise advisable, then the number of shares of Common Stock to
be included in the offering shall be reduced to the required level, first, by
excluding securities to be sold by the Company for its own account unless such
offering constitutes an Initial Public Offering, for which there shall be no
reduction by the Company, second, by reducing the participation of Other
Holders of Registrable Securities in such offering pro rata among such Other
Holders of Registrable Securities in such offerings based upon the total number
of Registrable Securities owned by such Other Holders, third, by reducing the
participation of Holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Holders of Series B
Preferred Stock and Holders of Series C Preferred Stock (including Holders of
Common Stock received upon prior conversion of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock) such that the
total number of shares to be registered in such offering shall be pro rata
among such Holders based upon the following formula:
O - C* H/T
O = the total number of shares that the underwriter in its
good faith judgment agrees can be sold in the offering.
C = the total number of shares to be included in the
offering by the Company and the Other Holders after exclusions and reductions,
if any, of shares to be offered by the Company and Other Holders pursuant to
this Section 1(d).
H = the total number of Registrable Securities owned by each
such Holder, who has given proper notice to participate in the offering, as of
the date of the First Closing (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement), or,
in the case of Southeast Interactive Technology Fund II, LLC ("Southeast
Interactive"), as of the date of the Second Closing (as defined in the Share
Purchase Agreement).
T = the total number of Registrable Securities owned by
Holders, who have given proper notice to participate in the offering, as of the
date of the Second Closing, or if no such closing occurs, then as of the date
of the First Closing.
Except for Special Registration Statements, the Company shall not
cause any other Registration Statement with respect to its Registrable
Securities for its own account to become effective less than 120 days after the
effective date of any registration requested pursuant to this Section 1. In the
event that (A) (i) a Holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred
Stock exercises a demand right pursuant to Section 1(a) and (ii) the
participation of Holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred
Stock in such offering is reduced pursuant to this Section 1(d), then the
demand registration exercised by the Holder of Series A Preferred Stock and
Series B Preferred Stock shall not count toward the limit on demand
registration rights of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
Preferred Stock contained in Section 1(a) or (B) a Holder of Series C Preferred
Stock exercises a demand right pursuant to Section 1(a) and (ii) the
participation of Holders of Series C Preferred Stock in such offering is
reduced pursuant to this Section 1(d), then the demand registration exercised
by the Holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall not count toward the limit on
demand registration rights of the Holders of Series C Preferred Stock contained
in Section 1(a).
(e) Registration on Form S-3. Following an Initial Public
Offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to become eligible to use the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 for public offerings of its capital stock.

2. Incidental Registration.
(a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. If at any time the
Company proposes to register any shares of Capital Stock under the Securities
Act, whether or not for sale of its own account, on a form and in the manner
that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for the sale to the
public under the Securities Act (other than in connection with Special
Registration Statements), the Company shall give written notice to all Holders
of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of a Holder given within 30
days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, the Company shall use
its best efforts to cause to be included in such Registration Statement all of
the Registrable Securities requested by Holders. If the Registration Statement
is to cover, in whole or in part, any underwritten distribution, the Company
shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities requested for
inclusion pursuant to this Section to be included in the underwriting on the
same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the
underwriters.
(b) Priority in Incidental Registrations. If, in the good-faith
judgment of the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering, if any, the
inclusion of all of the Registrable Securities requested for inclusion pursuant
to Section 2(a) would adversely affect the successful marketing of the proposed
offering or a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold is
otherwise advisable, then the number of shares of Common Stock to be included
in the offering shall be reduced to the required level, first, by excluding
securities to be sold by the Company for its own account unless (i) such
offering constitutes an initial public offering or (ii) the Board of Directors
of the Company makes a good-faith determination that the Company needs all of
the proceeds from the securities to be sold by the Company in the offering for
working capital purposes, capital expenditures or acquisitions for which in
both cases there shall be no reduction by the Company, second, by reducing the
participation of Other Holders of Registrable Securities in such offering pro
rata among such Other Holders of Registrable Securities in such offerings based
upon the total number of Registrable Securities owned by such Other Holders,
third, by reducing the participation of Holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Holders of Series C Preferred Stock
(including Holders of Common Stock received upon prior conversion of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred
Stock) such that the total number of shares to be registered in such offering
shall be pro rata among such Holders based upon the following formula:
(O - C) * H/T
O = the total number of shares proposed to be sold in the
offering after reductions pursuant to the exclusions and reductions to shares
that have been proposed to be sold by the Company and Other Holders pursuant to
this Section 2(b).
C = the total number of shares to be included in the offering
by the Company and the Other Holders after the exclusions and reductions, if
any, of shares to be offered by the Company and Other Holders pursuant to this
Section 2(b).
H = the total number of Registrable Securities owned by each
such Holder, who has given proper notice to participate in the offering, as of
the date of the Second Closing.
T = the total number of Registrable Securities owned by
Holders, who have given proper notice to participate in the offering, as of the
date of the Second Closing, or if no such closing occurs, then as of the date
of the First Closing.

3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is
required by the provisions of Sections 1 or 2 to effect the registration of
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall, at its
expense, as expeditiously as possible:
(i) prepare and, in any event within 45 days (or within
60 days if it is the first Registration Statement filed by the Company) after
the end of the period within which a request for registration may be given to
the Company, file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to
such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective; provided that the Company may discontinue any
registration of its securities which is being effected pursuant to Section 2 at
any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement;
(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments
and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective for a period not in excess of 120 days (except with respect to any
Registration Statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act if
the Company is eligible to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, in which
case the Company shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement
effective and updated until such time as all of the Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with
the intended methods of disposition by the Seller or Sellers set forth in such
Registration Statement) and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such
Registration Statement; provided that before filing a Registration Statement or
prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish
to one counsel selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement to represent all Holders of
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, copies of all
documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review
of such counsel;
(iii) furnish to each seller of such Registrable Securities
such number of copies of such Registration Statement and of each amendment and

preliminary prospectus and summary prospectus), and any other prospectus filed
under Rule 424 under the Securities Act in conformity with the requirements of
the Securities Act, and such other documents as such seller may reasonably
request;
(iv) use its best efforts to register or qualify such
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each seller shall
reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such
seller, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required (a)
to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any
jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this clause (iv), it would not
be obligated to be so qualified or (b) to consent to general service or process
in any such jurisdiction;
(v) use its best efforts to cause such Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or
approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary
to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities;
5
6
(vi) cause senior representatives of the Company to
participate in any "road show" or "road shows" reasonably requested by any
underwriter of an underwritten or "best efforts" offering of any Registrable

(vii) notify each seller of any such Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement, at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the Company's
becoming aware that 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 the request of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such
seller a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus
as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the sellers 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;
(viii) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than 18
months) after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings
statement which shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;
(ix) use its best efforts to list such Registrable
Securities on any securities exchange on which capital stock of the same class
is then listed, if such Registrable Securities are not already so listed and if
such listing is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, and to provide
a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Registration
Statement;
(x) enter into such customary agreements (including an
underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as
sellers of a majority of such Registrable Securities or the underwriters, if
any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of
such Registrable Securities;
(xi) obtain a "cold comfort" letter or letters from the
Company's independent public accountants in customary form and covering matters

records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause
all of the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney,
accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement.

4. Expenses. With respect to each registration effected pursuant
to Sections 1 or 2, all Registration Expenses (defined below) in connection
with such registration and the public offering in connection therewith shall be
borne by the Company; provided that security holders participating in any such
registration shall bear their pro rata share of the underwriting discounts and
selling commissions (on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities of
each such person included and sold in such registration). "Registration
Expenses" means any and all expenses incident to performance of or compliance
with this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all registration and

the reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Company
in connection with the requested registration.
5. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of a registration
of any shares of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1 or 2, the
Company, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder of such shares of Registrable Securities included in a Registration
Statement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and any underwriter (as
defined in the Securities Act) of such Registrable Securities and each other
person, if any, who controls such Holder or such underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act, and their respective directors, officers, partners,
members, agents and affiliates (the "Holders' Affiliates") , and each of their
successors from and against, and will reimburse such Holder and each such
underwriter, controlling person and Holders' Affiliate with respect to, any and
all claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
to which such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or Holders' Affiliate may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel (including those
incurred in connection with any claim for indemnity hereunder) insofar as such
claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (or
actions, or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in such Registration Statement under which
securities were registered under the Securities Act, any prospectus contained
therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon 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 arise out of any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation under
the Securities Act or any state securities laws applicable to the Company and
relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such
registration; provided that the Company will not be liable in any case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that any such claim, action, demand, loss,
damage, liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or omission so made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with
information furnished in writing by such Holder or such underwriter
specifically for use in the
7
8
preparation thereof. It is agreed that this indemnity shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, action, demand, loss, damage,
liability, cost or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). This
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or
Holders' Affiliate and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such
Holder.
(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder of shares of
Registrable Securities, severally and not jointly, which shares are included in
a registration pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent
permitted by law, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each
officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement including such
Registrable Securities, each director of the Company, each underwriter and any
person who controls the underwriter and each of their successors from and
against, and will reimburse the Company and such officer, director, underwriter
or controlling person with respect to, any and all claims, actions, demands,
losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses to which the Company or such
officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such claims, actions, demands,
losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement of any material fact contained in such Registration
Statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading;
provided that such Holder will be liable in any such case to the extent, but
only to the extent, that any such claim, action, demand, loss, damage,
liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement
or omission made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with written
information furnished by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation
thereof. The liability of each Holder under this Section shall be limited to
the proportion of any such claim, action, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost
or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of
the shares of Registrable Securities sold by such Holder under such
Registration Statement bears to the total offering price of all securities sold
thereunder, but not, in any event, to exceed the proceeds received by such
Holder from the sale of shares of Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement. It is agreed that this indemnity shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, action, demand, loss, damage,
liability, cost or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Holders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). This
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of such Holder, underwriter or any such director, officer,
partner, member, agent or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of
such securities by such Holder.
(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by a party to
be indemnified pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5(a) or (b) (an
"indemnified party") of notice of the commencement of any action involving the
subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party
will, if a claim thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 5(a) or (b), notify the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party
will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified
party otherwise than under this Section and shall not relieve the indemnifying
party from liability under this Section unless such indemnifying party is
prejudiced by such omission. In case such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to
the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after the notice from the
indemnifying party to such
8
9
indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 5(a) and (b) for any legal expense subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation; provided that, if the defendants in any
such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and
the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
reasonable defenses available to it that are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the
indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of
the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a
separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate
in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate
counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by
the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying party shall be liable to an
indemnified party for any settlement of any action or claim without the consent
of the indemnifying party and no indemnifying party may unreasonably withhold
its consent to any such settlement. No indemnifying party will, except with the
consent of the 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.
(d) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which
either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, any underwriter
or controlling person of any such Holder or underwriter, or any Holders'
Affiliate, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section but it is
judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of
competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of
the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such
case notwithstanding the fact that this Section provides for indemnification in
such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the
part of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or Holders' Affiliate
in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5,
then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject
(after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Holder of
Registrable Securities on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of the holder of Registrable Securities on the
other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company on the one hand or by the Holder of Registrable Securities on the
other, and each party's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided that, in
any such case, (A) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to
contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation and (B) no such Holder will be required to contribute any
amount in excess of the proceeds received by such Holder from the sales of
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement.
(e) Other Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the
underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public
offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the
underwriting agreement shall control.

10
6. Reporting Requirements Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(a) Exchange Act Reporting. When it is first legally required to
do so, the Company shall register its capital stock under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and shall keep
effective such registrations and shall timely file such information, documents
and reports as the Commission may require or prescribe under Section 13 of the
Exchange Act. From and after the effective date of the first Registration
Statement filed by the Company, the Company shall (whether or not it shall then
be required to do so) timely file such information, documents and reports as
the Commission may require or prescribe under Section 13 or 15(d)(whichever is
applicable) of the Exchange Act.
(b) Furnishing Information to Holders. Immediately upon becoming
subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, the Company shall forthwith upon request furnish any Holder of
Registrable Securities (a) a written statement by the Company that it has
complied with such reporting requirements, (b) a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company, and (c) such other reports and documents
filed by the Company with the Commission as such Holder may reasonably request
in availing itself of an exemption for the sale of Registrable Securities
without registration under the Securities Act.
(c) Rule 144 and Form S-3. The Company acknowledges and agrees
that the purposes of the requirements contained in this Section 6 are (i) to
enable any such Holder to comply with the current public information
requirement contained in paragraph (c) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act
should such Holder ever wish to dispose of any of the securities of the Company
acquired by it without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon
Rule 144 (or any other similar or successor exemptive provision), and (ii) to
qualify the Company for the use of Registration Statements on Form S-3. In
addition, the Company shall take such other measures and file such other
information, documents and reports as shall hereafter be required by the
Commission as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act (or any similar or successor exemptive provision hereafter in effect) and
the use of Form S-3. The Company also covenants to use its best efforts, to the
extent that it is reasonably within its power to do so, to qualify for the use
of Form S-3. From and after the effective date of the first Registration
Statement filed by the Company, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best
efforts to facilitate and expedite transfers of Registrable Securities by
Holders pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar or
successor exemptive provision hereafter in effect), which efforts shall include
timely notice to its transfer agent to expedite such transfers of Registrable
Securities.
7. Stockholder Information. The Company may require each Holder
of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is to be effected
pursuant to this Agreement to furnish the Company in a timely manner such
information with respect to such Holder and the distribution of such
Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request
in writing and as shall be required by law or by the Commission in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are
included in such registration.
8. Specific Enforcement. All of the parties acknowledge that the
parties will be irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is not
specifically enforced. Upon a breach or threatened breach of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement by any of the parties hereto, the

of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock or shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion of such preferred stock, by the holders of more

this Agreement equally then such modification, amendment or waiver shall
require the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the total number
of each of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such preferred stock, voting as a
class; provided, further, that if such modification, amendment or waiver
adversely effects the rights granted to the Investors holding Series C
Preferred or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such preferred
stock then such modification, amendment or waiver shall require approval of the
holders of at least a majority of the Series C Preferred Stock or shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such preferred stock; and
(b) in the case of rights granted to the Investors holding shares
of Series C Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
such preferred stock, by the holders of more than 50% of such Registrable
Securities; provided, however, that if such modification, amendment or waiver
adversely effects the rights granted to the Investors holding Series A
Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of such preferred stock then such modification, amendment or
waiver shall require approval of the holders of at least a majority of each of
such adversely affected series of preferred stock (including the Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of such preferred stock).
