enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
(c) The Buyer is acquiring the Shares for its own
account for investment purposes and not with a view to the
distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"), or applicable state securities
laws.
(d) The Buyer represents that it has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its
-2-

investment in the Company, and has the ability to bear the economic
risks of such investment. The Buyer further represents it has had
access to information about the Company and it has had the opportunity
to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, employees of the
Company concerning the Company and that no information it has
requested has been denied or withheld.
4. Compliance with Securities Laws. The Buyer understands that the
offer and sale of the Shares acquired by it hereunder have not been registered
under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Buyer
understands that the Shares being acquired by it hereunder may not be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, or the availability of an exemption
therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement or
the availability of such an exemption covering the offer and sale of the
Shares, that the Shares must be held indefinitely, and that the Buyer holding
same must bear the economic risks of such investment indefinitely. The Buyer
agrees that it will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Shares in any way
that may result in a violation of any federal or state securities laws or
regulations. The certificates representing the Shares may bear appropriate
legends to such effect.
5. Covenants of the Company. The Company agrees to make cash
payments to the Buyer or any person or entity affiliated or related to the
Buyer, including Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (the Buyer and each such person or entity
the "Taxpayer"), in the event that the Taxpayer owes federal income tax as a
result of the purchase of Shares contemplated by this Agreement, in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of any tax (plus penalties and interest)
actually paid by Taxpayer in all years as a result thereof and as a result of
receiving the payment contemplated by this paragraph, and (ii) the amount of

shares actually owned by the Buyer in accordance with Section 6(b)
above in exchange for payment by the Company in accordance with
Section 6(b) above that it so wishes to tender, and the Buyer shall be
obligated to pay to the Company, within one year after the date of the
Buyback Event, cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as
defined below) of the number of shares represented by the Shortfall
Amount less the Buyback Amount for such number of shares represented
by the Shortfall Amount, provided that interest required to be paid
pursuant to the Buyback Amount shall be computed not to the date of
the Buyback Event but instead to the date of the cash payment
required to be made by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 6(c).
(d) For purposes of this Section 6, the following terms shall
be defined as set forth below:
(i) "Buyback Amount" means the product of (i) the

7. Registration Rights.
(a) Subject to Section 7(i) below, if the Company
proposes to register for sale for cash in an offering to the public
any shares of its stock ("Stock") under the Securities Act on Form
X-0, X-0, or S-3, or any successor registration form at the time in
effect, it will at such time give written notice to the Holders (as
defined below) of its intention to do so. Upon written request of the
Holder, given within fifteen days after the giving of any such notice
by the Company, the Company will use its best efforts to cause the
shares of Stock acquired hereby held by the respective Holders for
which registration is requested (the "Piggy-Back Registrable Shares")
(the "Requesting Holders") to be registered under the Securities Act
as part of the offering being made by the Company and under the same
registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company; provided,
however, if the offering to which the proposed registration statement
relates is to be distributed by or through an underwriter approved by
the Company, the Requesting Holders shall agree to sell the Piggy-Back
Registrable Shares through such underwriter on the same terms and
conditions as the under-writer agrees to sell the other securities;
and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to
include part or all of the Piggy-Back Registrable Shares if the
Company is advised in writing by the managing underwriter for the
proposed offering that the inclusion of such Piggy-Back Registrable
Shares together with the Stock requested to be registered by other
owners (the "Other Owners") of shares of Stock (the "Other Registrable
Shares") pursuant to agreements between such Other Owners and the
Company which contain registration rights comparable to those
contained herein (the Piggy-Back Registrable Shares and the Other
Registrable Shares are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the
"Aggregate Registrable Shares") would in its opinion have a material
adverse effect on such proposed offering. In such event, the Company
shall include in the proposed offering that number of Piggy-Back
Registrable Shares equal to the Requesting
-7-
8
Holders, pro rata portion of the total number of Aggregate Registrable
Shares which may be registered in the opinion of the managing
underwriter referred to in the preceding sentence. The term "Holder"
means the Buyer or any Related Party of the Buyer, but only during the
period or periods of time any of such persons or entities own stock
which may qualify as "Piggy-Back Registrable Shares". The term
"Related Party" means any limited partner of the Buyer, Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, the parents of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and
the mother of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (cumulatively, the "Parents"), any
descendants of the Parents, any trust which includes as a beneficiary
any of the persons or entities above and any corporation, partnership
or other entity of which a majority of the voting shares or equity
interest is controlled directly or indirectly by any of the
above-mentioned persons or entities, to the extent such persons or
entities continue to so control such corporation, partnership or other
entity.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Section 7(a) hereof, the Company shall have no obligation to
register the Piggy-Back Registrable Shares if, within twenty days from
the receipt of a request to register the Piggy-Back Registrable Shares
pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof, the Company shall have delivered to
the Buyer an opinion of experienced securities counsel for the Company
to the effect that no registration of the Piggy-Back Registrable
Shares is required for their sale on the terms on which the Requesting
Holder desires to sell those shares.
(c) The Requesting Holders and the Company shall in
connection with any registration of any Piggy-Back Registrable
Shares contemplated by this Section 7 enter into an appropriate
underwriting agreement containing terms and provisions (including
reasonable provisions as to opinions of counsel, comfort letters and
indemnification) customary in such agreements.
(d) The Company shall prepare and file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission all amendments, post-effective
amendments and supplements to a registration statement containing any
Piggy-Back Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof as may
be necessary under the Securities Act and the regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission to permit the sale of such
Piggy-Back Registrable Shares to the public.
(e) The Company shall use its best efforts to register
or qualify the Piggy-Back Registrable Shares covered by a registration
statement filed pursuant to
-8-
9
Section 7(a) hereof under blue sky or other state securities laws, in
such states or jurisdictions as shall reasonably be requested by the
Requesting Holders, and do any and all other reasonable acts or things
which may be necessary to enable the Requesting Holders to consummate
the public sale or other disposition of Registrable Shares in such
jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to qualify as a foreign 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.
(f) The Company will bear all expenses related to a
registration pursuant to this Section 7, except for amounts reflecting
the increase in expenses directly attributable to the inclusion of the
portion of the Piggy-Back Registrable Shares so registered, which
increase in expenses shall be borne by the appropriate Requesting
Holder. In connection with any registration undertaken by the Company
hereunder, the Company and the Requesting Holders shall indemnify each
other against violations of law in customary form and shall execute
such other agreements in connection with the underwriting as shall
reasonably be requested by the Company.
(g) The Requesting Holders shall promptly furnish the
Company, upon request, with all information required in the opinion of
the Company's securities counsel to be included in the registration
statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto.

Section 7 may be exercised only by the Holders.
