IV.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
-------------------
4.1 Demand Registration Rights.
--------------------------
(a) E*Trade shall have the right, exercisable once at any time
after nine (9) months following the date of the Initial Public Offering, subject
to paragraph (c) of this Section 4.1, (the "Demand Registration Right"), to
-----------
cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any
number of shares of Common Stock held by E*Trade.
(b) E*Trade shall exercise its Demand Registration Right by making
a written request (a "Registration Request") to the Company, which Registration
Request shall state the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be
registered and specify the intended method or methods of disposition thereof.
Upon receipt of such Registration Request, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as is possible, use its best efforts to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of all shares of Common Stock which the Company has been so
requested to register by E*Trade for sale, all to the extent required to permit
the disposition (in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof, as
aforesaid) of the shares so registered.
(c) E*Trade shall not be entitled to exercise its Demand
Registration Right during the period within ninety (90) days after a
registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(d) All expenses incurred in complying with this Section 4.1,
-----------
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing
expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, expenses of any
special audits incident to or required by any such registration and expenses of
complying with the securities laws of any jurisdictions pursuant to Section
-------
4.3(a)(iv) hereof, shall be paid by E*Trade.
----------
4.2 Piggyback Registration Rights.
-----------------------------
(a) If, subsequent to six (6) months following the date of the
Initial Public Offering, the Company at any time proposes to file on its behalf
and/or on behalf of any of its
-4-
security holders (the "demanding holders") a registration statement under the
Securities Act on any form (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or
S-8 or any successor form for securities to be offered solely in a transaction
of the type referred to in Rule 145 under the Securities Act or to employees of
the Company pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the general registration of
securities to be sold for cash with respect to its Common Stock, it will give
written notice to E*Trade at least twenty (20) days before the initial filing of
such registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which
notice shall set forth the intended method of disposition of the securities
proposed to be registered by the Company ("Registration Notice"). The
Registration Notice shall offer to include in such filing the aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock as E*Trade may request, subject to the terms hereof.
If the registration of which the Company gives notice involves an underwritten
offering, E*Trade's right to participate in such offering shall be conditioned
upon E*Trade's entry into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering by the Company, and
E*Trade must sell its shares to such underwriters on the same terms and
conditions as apply to the Company and/or such other sellers of Common Stock, as
the case may be.
(b) E*Trade shall advise the Company in writing within fifteen (15)
days after the date of receipt of such offer from the Company of its election to
participate in such offering, and set forth the number of shares of Common Stock
for which registration is requested. The Company shall thereupon include in such
filing the number of shares of Common Stock for which registration is so
requested, subject to the next sentence, and shall use its best efforts to
effect registration under the Securities Act of such shares of Common Stock. If
the managing underwriter of a proposed offering shall advise the Company in
writing that, in its opinion, the distribution of shares of Common Stock
requested to be included in the registration concurrently with the securities
being registered by the Company or such demanding holders would materially and
adversely affect the distribution of such securities by the Company or such
demanding holders, then all selling holders (other than the Company or any
demanding holder that shall have initially requested such registration pursuant
to "demand registration" rights) shall reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amount
of securities each intended to distribute through such offering to a level
acceptable to such underwriter.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
provisions of this Section 4.2, the Company shall have the right at any time
-----------
after it shall have given Registration Notice (irrespective of whether a written
request for inclusion of any Common Stock shall have been made by E*Trade) to
elect not to effect the proposed "piggy-back" registration or to withdraw the
same after the filing but prior to the effective date thereof.
4.3 Registration Procedures.

to effect the registration of shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act,

-------
corporation to do business under the laws of any jurisdiction in
which it is not then qualified or to file any general consent to
service of process), and do such other reasonable acts and things as
may be required of it to enable such holder to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdiction of the securities covered by such
registration statement;
(v) furnish, at the request of E*Trade, on the date that
such shares of Common Stock are delivered to the underwriters for

becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the
independent counsel representing the Company for the purposes of
such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and if
such shares of Common Stock are not being sold through underwriters,
then to the holders making such request, stating that such

suspending the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no
proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or

thereto, comply as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and

-6-
governmental proceedings, pending or contemplated, required to be

character required to be described in the registration statement or
prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or to be filed
as exhibits to the registration statement which are not described or
filed or incorporated by reference as required; such counsel shall
also confirm that he has no reason to believe that either the
registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto (other than financial material as to which such
counsel need make no statement) contains any untrue statement of
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; and
(ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public
accountants of the Company, addressed to the underwriters, if any,

the Company stating that they are independent certified public
accountants, and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the
financial statements and other financial data of the Company
included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the
Securities Act. Such opinion of counsel shall additionally cover
such other customary legal matters in respect of which such opinion
is being given as such holders may reasonably request. Such letter
from the independent certified public accountants shall additionally
cover such other financial matters (including information as to the
period ending not more than five (5) business days prior to the date
of such letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which
such letter is being given as the holders holding a majority of the
shares of Common Stock being so registered may reasonably request;
and
(vi) enter into customary agreements (including an
underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other
actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such shares of Common Stock.

Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to this Article IV, the Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless E*Trade, E*Trade's directors and officers, and each
other Person, if any, who controls E*Trade within the meaning of the Securities
Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which E*Trade or any such director or officer or controlling Person may become
subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained, on the effective date thereof or on the date of sale of any
shares of Common Stock, in any registration statement under which such shares of
Common Stock were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary
prospectus or
-7-
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
(ii) any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall
reimburse E*Trade or such director, officer or controlling Person for any legal
or any other expenses reasonably incurred by E*Trade or such director, officer
or controlling Person in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company
-------- -------
shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement
or alleged omission made in such registration statement, preliminary prospectus,
prospectus or amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by E*Trade specifically for use
therein. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of E*Trade or such director, officer or
controlling Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by
E*Trade.
(b) In the event of the filing to register any shares of Common
Stock under the Securities Act pursuant to this Article IV, E*Trade shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, and each
other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which the Company or any such director or officer or controlling
Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at
common law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof or on
the date of sale of any shares of Common Stock, in any registration statement,
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and shall reimburse the Company or such director,
officer or controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Company or such director, officer or controlling Person in

-------- -------
such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement or alleged omission made in
such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus or amendment or
supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
by E*Trade to the Company specifically for use therein. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Company or such director, officer or controlling Person, and shall
survive the transfer of such securities by the Company.
(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4.5 from
-----------
the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in
respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which such
indemnified party would be otherwise entitled under Section 4.4(a) or 4.4(b),
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations; provided that, the liability of E*Trade shall
-------- ----
be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage or liability, which
is equal to the proportion that the
-8-
public offering price of the shares of Common Stock sold by E*Trade bears to the
total public offering price of all securities sold pursuant to the registration
statement, but not to exceed the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and
commissions) received by E*Trade from such sale. The relative fault of such
indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by,
such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to
include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with any investigation or proceeding.
4.5 Information Concerning E*Trade. It shall be a condition precedent to
------------------------------
the obligation of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article IV in
respect of the securities which are to be registered at the request of E*Trade
that E*Trade shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the shares
of Common Stock held by E*Trade and the intended method of disposition thereof
as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required by applicable
law in connection with the action taken by the Company.
4.6 Suspension of Company Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the
---------------------------------
contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company's obligation under this
Article IV to file any registration statement and to use its best efforts to
cause securities to be registered as provided herein shall be suspended if, in
the good faith determination of the Company's board of directors, effecting the
registration of securities would adversely affect a material financing,
acquisition, disposition of assets or stock, merger or other comparable
transaction, would violate any law, regulation or agreement of the Company, or
would require the Company to make public disclosure of information the public
disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect upon the Company (any
of such being hereinafter referred to as a "Suspension Event"), but such
suspension continue only for so long as such event or its effect is continuing.
The Company shall promptly notify E*Trade in writing of the existence of any
Suspension Event.

(the "Offeror") that E*Trade wishes to accept, E*Trade shall cause
-10-
the Transfer Offer to be reduced to writing and shall provide a written notice
of such Transfer Offer (the "Transfer Notice") to the Company. The Transfer
Notice shall also contain an irrevocable offer to sell the Transfer Stock to the
Company at a price equal to the price, and upon substantially the same terms,
contained in the Transfer Offer and shall be accompanied by a true and correct
