1. REGISTRATION RIGHTS
1.1 Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms

(a) "Exchange Act" shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or any similar successor federal statute and the rules and
regulations thereunder, all as the same shall be in effect from time to time.
(b) "Exempt Registrations" shall mean registrations relating
solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that

Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be
promulgated in the future.

pursuant to the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the

1.2 Registrable Securities.
(a) Definition. The term "Registrable Securities" means (i) any
common stock ("Common Stock") and other securities issued upon conversion of any
Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred or Series E Preferred
Stock (the "Series E Preferred") (including without limitation the Series C
Preferred issuable upon exercise of those certain Series C Warrants, as defined
in the Series C Agreement, the Series D Preferred issuable upon the exercise of
those certain Series D Warrants, as defined in the Series D Agreement and the
Series E Preferred issuable upon the exercise of that certain Series E Warrant,
as defined in the Series E Agreement), (ii) any Common Stock and other
securities issued upon exercise of those certain Series B Common Warrants, as
defined in the Series C Agreement, or (iii) any securities issued with respect
to the Series B Preferred, Series C Preferred, Series D Preferred, Series E
Preferred or the Common Stock and other securities referred to in clauses (i)
and (ii) by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a
combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other
reorganization. For purposes of this Agreement, a person will be deemed to be a
holder of Registrable Securities whenever such person has the right to acquire
such Registrable Securities whether or not such acquisition has actually been
effected. Registrable Securities, if transferred in accordance with Section
1.2(b), will remain Registrable Securities; provided, however, that Registrable
Securities shall not include shares (a) registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to an effective registration statement filed thereunder and disposed of
in accordance with the registration statement covering them or (b) that may be
publicly sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(b) Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights granted under
this Section may be assigned or otherwise conveyed by any holder of Registrable
Securities, in compliance with federal and applicable state
6
securities laws, to any transferee or assignee who, after such assignment or
transfer, holds at least 50,000 shares of Registrable Securities (subject to
appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other
recapitalizations), provided that the Company is given written notice by such
transferee at the time of or within thirty (30) days after said transfer,
stating the name and address of said transferee and said transferee's agreement
to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. For the purposes of determining
the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee,
the holdings of a transferee or assignee who is (A) a shareholder, partner,
retired partner, member, retired member or beneficiary of a Purchaser; (B) a
spouse or child of a shareholder, partner, retired partner, member, retired
member or beneficiary of a Purchaser; (C) a trust for the benefit of the persons
set forth in (A) or (B) or for the issue of the persons set forth in (A) or (B);
and (D) an entity (corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other
juridical entity) of which at least 75 percent in interest is owned or
controlled, directly or indirectly through other entities, or by one or more of
the persons set forth in (A), (B) or (C), shall be aggregated together with the
corporation, partnership or limited liability company as the case may be;
provided that all assignees and transferees who would not qualify individually
for assignment of registration rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for
the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking any action
under this Agreement.
(c) Conditions to Participation. No holder of Registrable
Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless
such holder (i) agrees to sell such holder's securities on the basis provided in
any underwriting arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all
questionnaires, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, provided
that such documents shall not provide for indemnification or contribution
obligations to the Company, or obligations to the Company to provide
information, of holders of Registrable Securities greater than those obligations
to the Company provided for in Section 1.9.
1.3 Demand Registration.
(a) If at any time after the earlier of (i) two (2) years after
the date of this Agreement or (ii) six (6) months after the effective date of
the Initial Public Offering (as such term is defined in Section 2 of this
Agreement), the Company shall receive a written request from the holders of at
least 30% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a
registration statement (other than on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 1.4 of this
Agreement) under the Securities Act covering the registration of all or part of
the Registrable Securities, then the Company shall, within ten (10) days of the
receipt of such request, give written notice of such request to all holders of
Registrable Securities and shall, subject to the limitations of Section 1.3(b),
use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable the registration under the
Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the holders request to be
registered in a written request to be given within twenty (20) days of the
giving of such notice by the Company.
7
(b) The holders initiating the registration request under this
Section 1.3 (the "Initiating Holders") must distribute the Registrable
Securities covered by their request by means of a public offering underwritten
by a recognized national or regional underwriter, which underwriter shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company. 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
holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such
underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 1.7(h))
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or
underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the
Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.3, if
the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares 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, including the Initiating Holders, in
proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of
the Company owned by each holder and requested to be registered in such
registration. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such
underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) The Company is obligated to effect only two registrations
pursuant to this Section 1.3. A request for registration under this Section 1.3
cannot be made within six (6) months of the effective date of a registration
statement for a public offering of the Company's securities (other than Exempt
Registrations).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish
to the holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.3
a certificate signed by the President of the Company, stating that in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company it would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement
to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such
registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing
for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of
the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this
right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
(e) The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to
effect any registration pursuant to this Section 1.3, if, within ten (10) days
of the receipt of a request from Initiating Holders the Company gives the
Initiating Holders written notice that it has begun substantive discussions with
an underwriter with respect to a public offering of securities that would give
rise to registration rights under Section 1.5. The Company must promptly notify
the holders of any abandonment of such offering.
8
1.4 S-3 Registration.
(a) S-3 Registrations. Subject to the terms hereof, the holders
of Registrable Securities, including transferees that have acquired the
Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 1.2(b) (the "Holders"), may
request in writing registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their
Registrable Securities (an "S-3 Registration") on Form S-3 (or any other form of
offering permitted under applicable securities laws involving effort and expense
reasonably similar to that involved in effecting a registration on Form S-3 for
which the Company may then be eligible). Any such request shall state the number
of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended disposition of such
shares by their Holders, provided that the aggregate offering price must be not
less than $250,000 for each such registration and on not more than three
occasions. S-3 Registrations will be effected on Form S-3 (or any similar
short-form registration for which the Company may then be eligible) whenever the
Company is permitted to use such a form. Following the initial public offering
of its securities, the Company will use its best efforts to qualify for
registration on Form S-3 (or any similar short-form registration for which the
Company may then be eligible) and maintain such registration in effect for not
less than one hundred twenty (120) days.
(b) Priority S-3 Registrations. If any S-3 Registration is an
underwritten offering, the Company may request that securities to be sold on its
behalf be included in such S-3 Registration, and if the managing underwriters
advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities
requested to be included exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering
without adversely affecting such underwriters' ability to effect an orderly
distribution of the securities, the Company will include in such registration:
first, the securities the Company proposes to sell; and second, the number of
Registrable Securities that the Holders propose to sell and that in the opinion
of such underwriters can be sold; provided that in the event that the number of
Registrable Securities that the Holders propose to sell is reduced by more than
ten percent (10%), such registration will not be counted as a S-3 Registration.
Anything in this subsection (b) to the contrary notwithstanding, for a period of
twelve months following the conclusion of any offering from which, pursuant to
this subsection (b), there were excluded any Registrable Securities requested to
be included (an "Exclusion Offering"), the Company shall not exercise its right
to priority so as to exclude such Registrable Securities from a subsequent S-3
Registration; provided, however, that a S-3 Registration may not be requested by
the Holders of Registrable Securities for a period of four (4) months following
the conclusion of any such Exclusion Offering. If any S-3 Registration in which
the Company does not have the right to priority is an underwritten offering, the
Company may have securities to be sold on its behalf included in such S-3
Registration, to the extent deemed practicable by the managing underwriters,
provided the number of Registrable Securities included therein is not reduced.
9
(c) Restrictions on Purchasers and S-3 Registrations. The Company
may postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing or the effectiveness of a
registration statement for a S-3 Registration if the Company's Chief Executive
Officer delivers a written certification to each Holder of the Registrable
Securities requested to be included therein stating that the Company's Board of
Directors has declared that such S-3 Registration would not be in the best
interests of the Company; provided that in any such event, the Holders of
Registrable Securities requesting such registration will be entitled to withdraw
such requests and, if the remaining requests that are not withdrawn are not
sufficient to initiate such registration, such registration need not be effected
by the Company and will not count as a S-3 Registration; provided further, that
if such event occurs during the twelve (12) month period during which the
Company may not conduct an Exclusion Offering (as described in Clause (b)
above), then such twelve (12) month period shall be extended by the length of
any such postponement. The Company may only make one election in any
twelve-month period to postpone a S-3 Registration pursuant hereto.
(d) Limited Number of S-3 Registrations. The Company is obligated
to effect only three (3) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.4.
(e) Selection of Underwriters. In a S-3 Registration, the holders
of Registrable Securities will have the right to determine the method of
distribution and, if the offering is underwritten, to select the investment
banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering.
1.5 Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register
any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a
registration primarily for sales of securities to employees of the Company or in
connection with a transaction to which Rule 145 or any similar rule of the SEC
under the Securities Act is applicable) and the registration form to be used
also may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company
will give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its
intention to effect such a registration (a "Piggyback Registration") and will
use its best efforts to include in such registration all Registrable Securities
with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion
therein within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Company's notice except
as set forth in paragraph (b) below. Such written request may specify all or
part of a holder's Registrable Securities to be included in the registration.
(b) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback
Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company,
and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their
opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration
exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting
such underwriters' ability to effect an orderly distribution of such securities,
the Company will include in such
10
registration: first, the securities the Company proposes to sell; second, the
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata
among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of shares of
Common Stock (or equivalents) represented by the Registrable Securities owned by
the holders thereof and requested to be registered, but in no event in an
offering following the Company's initial public offering shall the number of
Registrable Securities included in such registration be less than 30% of the
total of all securities included in such registration; and third, other
securities requested to be included in such registration.
(c) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback
Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of
the Company's securities and there are no newly issued securities of the Company
being registered thereunder, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in
writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included
in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering
without adversely affecting such underwriters' ability to effect an orderly
distribution of such securities, the Company will include in such registration:
first, any Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration,
pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of
shares of Common Stock (or equivalents) represented by the Registrable
Securities owned by the holders thereof and requested to be registered, and
second, other securities requested to be included in such registration. If any
holder of Registrable Securities who has requested inclusion in such
registration or offering disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, he may
elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the underwriter
and the holders of Registrable Securities who initiated the offering.
1.6 Lockup Agreements. Each holder of the Registrable Securities agrees
not to effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Registrable
Securities, during the seven (7) days prior to and the period after (as
requested by the underwriters, but not to exceed 180 days) the effectiveness of
the first registration of the Company's securities to be sold in an underwritten
public offering for the account of the Company, provided that all officers and
directors of the Company and all other holders of more than one percent (1%) of
the Company's equity securities agree to be similarly bound with respect to
equity securities of the Company held by such officers, directors and one
percent (1%) holders, provided further that any discretionary waiver or
termination of the restrictions of such agreements by the representatives of the
underwriters shall apply to all persons subject to such agreements pro rata
based on the number of equity securities held by such persons and subject to
such agreements, provided further that such holders are given reasonable notice
of such Registration, and provided further, that the provisions of this Section
1.6 shall bind The Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Group, L.P. and any transferee of its
Registrable Securities only with respect to the Registrable Securities held by
such person and shall not otherwise in any manner bind or restrict Xxxxxxx,
Sachs & Co. (whether as a broker, dealer, underwriter or otherwise) or The
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Group. L.P. or any
11
of their affiliates or general or limited partners. Without limiting the
foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the provisions of this Section 1.6 shall
not (a) apply to any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock acquired by a Holder directly
from the underwriters in a registered public offering of the Company's
securities or in an established trading market from any party other than the
Company, or (b) prevent the exercise of the Series B Common Warrants, the Series
C Warrants, the Series D Warrants, or the Series E Warrant described in Section
1.2(a) during such lockup period.
1.7 Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Registrable
Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant
to this Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts to effect the
registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, which
registration statement will state that the holders of Registrable Securities
covered thereby may sell such Registrable Securities either under such
registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar rule then in
effect), and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or
any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the counsel
selected by the holders of a majority of the voting interest of the Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed);
(b) prepare and file with the Commission, if applicable, 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 of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days
in the case of the Company's initial registration of Common Stock under the
Securities Act and one hundred twenty (120) days in the case of any subsequent
registration;
(c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number
of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto,
and the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each
preliminary prospectus) as such seller may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable
Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of
the United States as any seller reasonably requests and do any other related
acts that may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such
seller (provided that the Company
12
will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 1.7(d)
or (ii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction);
(e) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is or would be required to be delivered
under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will prepare
a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to
the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading;
(f) upon the request of the holders of 20% or more of the
Registrable Securities or such lesser number of Registrable Securities as are
actually registered pursuant to this Agreement, cause all such Registrable
Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation system on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such
Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration
statement;
(h) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting
agreements on customary terms) and take all such other actions as are reasonably
required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a
combination of shares);
(i) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable
Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or any other agent retained
by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause 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;
(j) comply with all necessary filing and other requirements,
including without limitation listing shares on any national securities exchange
on which similar securities of the Company are then listed, so as to enable the
holders of Registrable Securities to sell Registrable Securities under Rule 144
(or any similar rule then in effect) after any initial public offering of the
Company's Common Stock; and
13
(k) obtain a comfort letter from the Company's independent
accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily
covered by comfort letters and an opinion from the Company's counsel in
customary form covering such matters normally covered in a public issuance of
securities, in each case addressed to the holders of the Registrable Securities.
1.8 Registration Expenses.
(a) All expenses incident to the Company's performance of or
compliance with this Agreement with respect to any Demand Registration, S-3
Registration or Piggyback Registration, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or
blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public
accountants, underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions, which in all
cases shall be borne by the party selling the securities with respect to which
the discounts or commissions are incurred or paid) and other persons retained by
the Company, will be borne by the Company.
(b) In connection with any Demand Registration, S-3 Registration
or Piggyback Registration, the Company will reimburse the holders of Registrable
Securities covered by such registration for the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the voting
interest of such Registrable Securities.
14
1.9 Indemnification.
(a) Incident to any registration statement referred to in this
Section 1 and subject to applicable law, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless each underwriter, each holder of Registrable Securities (including its
respective directors, officers, members, employees and agents) so registered,
and each person who controls any of them within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
expenses and liabilities, joint or several (including any investigation, legal
and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in
settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted), to which
they, or any of them, may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of
or are based on (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such registration statement (including any related
preliminary or definitive prospectus, or any amendment or supplement to such
registration statement or prospectus), (ii) any omission or alleged omission to
state in such document a material fact required to be stated in it or necessary
to make the statements in it not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the
Company of the Securities Act, any state securities or "blue sky" laws or any
rule or regulation thereunder in connection with such registration, provided
that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such loss, claim, damage,
expense or liability arises from and is based on an untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by such underwriter, holder
or controlling person expressly for use in such registration statement. With
respect to such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission in the information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder
expressly for use in such registration statement, such holder will indemnify and
hold harmless each underwriter, the Company (including its directors, officers,
members, employees and agents), each other holder of Registrable Securities
(including its respective directors, officers, employees and agents) so
registered, and each person who controls any of them within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, joint or
several, to which they, or any of them, may become subject under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at
common law or otherwise to the same extent provided in the immediately preceding
sentence. In no event, however, shall the liability of a holder for
indemnification under this Section 1.9(a) exceed the lesser of (i) that
proportion of the total of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities
indemnified against equal to the proportion of the total Registrable Securities
sold under such registration statement which is being sold by such holder of
Registrable Securities or (ii) the proceeds received by such holder from its
sale of Registrable Securities under such registration statement.

(b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 1.9(a) above
for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, expenses or
liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under this Section
1.9, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the other
selling holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters from the offering
of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Company, the other selling holders of Registrable
Securities and the underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received
by the Company, the selling holders of Registrable Securities and the
underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company
and the selling holders and the underwriting discount received by the
underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the
applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the
Registrable Securities. The relative fault of the Company, the selling holders
of Registrable Securities and the underwriters 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 the Company, the selling holders or the
underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company,
the holders of Registrable Securities, and the underwriters agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.9(b) were
determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in the first sentence of this Section 1.9(b). In no event, however, shall a
holder of Registrable Securities be required to contribute any amount under this
Section 1.9(b) in excess of the lesser of (i) that proportion of the total of
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities indemnified against equal to the
proportion of the total Registrable Securities sold under such registration
statement which is being sold by such holder or (ii) the proceeds received by
such holder from its sale of Registrable Securities under such registration
statement. No person found 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.
(c) The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this
Section 1.9 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with investigating or defending any such
16
action or claim. The indemnification and contribution provided for in this
Section 1.9 will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified parties or any officer, director,
employee, agent or controlling person of the indemnified parties.
1.10 Termination. The rights to registration of Registrable Securities
set forth in this Section shall terminate and have no further effect on the
seventh (7th) anniversary of the closing of the Company's Initial Public
Offering, as defined below.
