2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
2.1. DEMAND REGISTRATION.
2.1.1. REQUEST FOR REGISTRATION. Subject to and in accordance with this Agreement, at any
time and from time to time on or after the date upon which the Unit Option becomes exercisable as
therein provided, the holders of at least 50% of the Registrable Securities held by the UPO Holders
or their respective transferees, may make a written demand for registration under the Securities
Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities (a “DEMAND REGISTRATION”). Any demand for a
Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be
sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will notify all other holders
of Registrable Securities and the Founders (so long as the Founders or their transferees shall hold
Registrable Securities as defined in the Founders Registration Rights Agreement) of the demand, and
each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s
Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable
Securities in such registration, a “DEMANDING HOLDER”) shall so notify the Company in writing
within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any
such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included
in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1.
The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an aggregate of one (1) Demand Registration
under this Section 2.1.1 in respect of Registrable Securities.
2.1.2. EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until
the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration
covering at least 75% of the Registrable Securities specified in the notice received pursuant to
Section 2.1.1 has been declared effective and the Company has complied with all of its obligations
under this Agreement with respect thereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if, after such Registration
Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand
Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other
governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration
will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or
injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the
Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Company
shall not be obligated to file a second
3
Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a
Demand Registration or is terminated.
2.1.3. UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so elect and
such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the
offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form
of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable
Securities in such registration 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 Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their securities through
such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter
or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the holders initiating
the Demand Registration.
2.1.4. REDUCTION OF OFFERING. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand
Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders
in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding
Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities
which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration
has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other
shareholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number
of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering
price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such
maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES”),
then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to
which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders and the securities as to
which a Founders Demand Registration has been made (pro rata in accordance with the number of
shares of Registrable Securities which such Demanding Holder and securities which Founders
Demanding Holder have requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of
shares of Registrable Securities held by such Demanding Holder or securities held by such Founders
Demanding Holder) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to
the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i),
the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number
of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock
for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written
contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Shares; and (v) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have not been
reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), the shares of Common Stock that other
shareholders desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.1.5. WITHDRAWAL. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms
of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any
offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may
4
elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the
Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the
majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a
Demand Registration, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for
in Section 2.1.1.
2.2. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION.
2.2.1. PIGGY-BACK RIGHTS. If at any time on or after the date upon which the Unit Purchase
Option becomes exercisable as provided therein, the Company proposes to file a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities
or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by
the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the
Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1),
other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other
benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing
shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the
Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of
such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no
event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the
amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of
distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the
offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to
register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in
writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION”). The
Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed
underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back
Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the
Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance
with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities
proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an
Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.
2.2.2. REDUCTION OF OFFERING. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back
Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of
Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock which
the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which
registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than
the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which
registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as
to which registration has been requested pursuant to the
5
written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company,
exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:
(i) If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the shares
of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum
Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable
Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2 and the
securities as to which piggy-back registration has been requested under Section 2.2 of the
Founders Registration Rights Agreement (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of
Registrable Securities and securities each holder has actually requested to be included in
such registration, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
such persons have the right to request such inclusion) that can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has
not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock as to
which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back
registration rights of other security holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of
shares such person has actually requested to be included in such registration, regardless of
the number of shares of Common Stock with respect such person has the right to request
inclusion).
(ii) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons
other than the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to written contractual
arrangements with such persons, (A) first, the shares of Common Stock for the account of the
demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B)
second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the
foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company
desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C)
third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the
foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been
requested under this Section 2.2 and the securities as to which piggy-back registration has
been requested under Section 2.2 of the Founders Registration Rights Agreement (pro rata in
accordance with the number of shares such person has actually requested to be included in
such registration, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect such
person has the right to request inclusion); and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum
Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the
shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to
written contractual piggy-back registration rights which other shareholders desire to sell
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.2.3. WITHDRAWAL. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s
request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written
notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement. The Company may also elect to withdraw a registration statement at any time prior to
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement without
6
thereby incurring any liability to the holders of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding any
such withdrawal, the Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable
Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.
2.3. REGISTRATIONS ON FORM S-3. The holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and
from time to time, request in writing that the Company register the resale of any or all of such
Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration which may be available at
such time (“FORM S-3”); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such
request through an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will
promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other holders of Registrable
Securities, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, effect the registration 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 pursuant to this Section 2.3: (i) if Form S-3 is not available for
such offering; or (ii) if the holders of the Registrable Securities, 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 any aggregate price to the public of
less than $250,000. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as

alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or
summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein.
4.2. INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. Each selling holder of Registrable
Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and
each other person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or
several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable
Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or
summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the
statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in
writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the
Company, its directors and officers, and each such controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations
hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds
(after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such
selling holder.
4.3. CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Promptly after receipt by any person of any
notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “INDEMNIFIED PARTY”) shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such
other person (the “INDEMNIFYING PARTY”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability
or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying
Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may
have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with
respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party
shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes,
jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the
12
Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action,
the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in any action in which both the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent
the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of
any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the
Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying
Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of
both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising
out of such claim or proceeding.
4.4. CONTRIBUTION.
4.4.1. If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is
unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action
referred to herein, then each such 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
loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the
actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any
Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.
4.4.2. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by PRO RATA allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding Section.
4.4.3. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment
of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually
13
received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such
contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
5. UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.
5.1. RULE 144. The Company covenants that it shall use its best efforts to file any reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such
further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144
under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or
regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.
6. MISCELLANEOUS.
6.1. OTHER REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other
than holders of the Registrable Securities and the Founders, has any right to require the Company
to register any shares of the Company’s capital stock for sale or to include shares of the
Company’s capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital
stock for its own account or for the account of any other person.
6.2. ASSIGNMENT; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement and the rights, duties and
obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in
part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable
Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities
in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder.
This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
each of the parties and their respective successors and the permitted assigns of the Investor or
holder of Registrable Securities or of any assignee of the Investor or holder of Registrable
Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that
are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 4 and this Section 6.2.
6.3. NOTICES. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications
(collectively, “NOTICES”) required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with
respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by
reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telegram,
telex or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have
specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of service or
transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram, telex or facsimile; PROVIDED, that if
such service or transmission is not on a business day or is after normal business hours, then such
notice shall be deemed given on the next business day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein
shall be deemed given on the next business day following
14
timely delivery of such notice to a reputable air courier service with an order for next-day
delivery.

6.4. SEVERABILITY. This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid

of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may

default which such party has the right to waive, PROVIDED that such waiver will not be effective
against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and specifically refers
to this Agreement. Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the
breach or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver of any breach of
any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding
breach thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No waiver or extension of
time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time
for performance of any other obligations or acts.
6.10. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform any
covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Investor or any other
holder of Registrable Securities may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or
action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an
injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in
this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such
actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred
under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be
cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement
or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
6.11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be
performed within the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice-of-law provisions
thereof that would compel the application of the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.
6.12. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the
right to a trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim or other proceeding (whether based on
contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with or
16
relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or the actions of the
Investor in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement hereof.
6.13. WAIVER OF MONETARY DAMAGES.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each UPO Holder hereby waives
any right to make any claim for monetary damages arising from the Company’s failure to effect the registration
of any Registrable Securities or if a current prospectus is not on file with the Commission with respect thereto, provided
the Company has fulfilled its obligation to use its best efforts to do so in accordance herewith.
