2.1. Demand Registrations.
(a) Requests for Demand Registration.
(i) At any time and from time to time after the
date hereof, the Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the outstanding
Registrable Securities (the "Initiating Holders") may make a written request for
registration, whether or not such registration involves an underwritten
offering, under the Securities Act of all or any part of such Holder's
Registrable Securities (a "Demand Registration"), which
3
request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and
the intended method or methods of disposition thereof.
(ii) Promptly after receipt by the Company of any
request for a Demand Registration from the Initiating Holders pursuant to this
Section 2.1 (and in any event within five (5) days after such receipt), the
Company shall give written notice of such request to all other Holders of
Registrable Securities from whom written notice has not been received and shall,
subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1, include in such Demand
Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company
receives written requests (each request specifying the amount of Registrable
Securities to be registered under the Securities Act and the intended method or
methods of disposition thereof) for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after
the date on which the Company delivers its notice pursuant to the preceding
sentence.
(iii) As promptly as is reasonably practicable,
but in no event later than sixty (60) days, after receiving any request for a
Demand Registration from the Initiating Holders pursuant to this Section 2.1,
the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement
registering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand
Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement
to become effective as promptly as practicable after the date on which such
Registration Statement was filed with the SEC. The Company shall cause such
Registration Statement to remain continuously effective, supplemented, amended
and current as required by, and subject to, the provisions of Section 2.4 hereof
and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act
and the policies, rules and regulations of the SEC as announced from time to
time, until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement shall have been sold. If requested by the Initiating
Holders, such Demand Registration shall provide for the resale, from time to
time, of such Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
(b) Underwritten Demand Registrations; Priority.
(i) If in connection with a Demand Registration
the Initiating Holders desire to distribute their Registrable Securities by
means of an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as part of
the request delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof. In such
event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such
underwritten Demand Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwritten Demand Registration and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities therein. Any Holder who proposes to offer and
sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to such underwritten Demand
Registration shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
(including all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities or other
documents required by such underwriting agreement) with the managing underwriter
or underwriters selected for such underwritten Demand Registration pursuant to
Section 2.2(b)(ii) below.
(ii) The managing underwriter or underwriters of
any underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities covered by a Demand
Registration shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of the number of
outstanding Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration.
(iii) If the managing underwriter or underwriters
for an underwritten Demand Registration shall advise the Company that, in its
opinion, the inclusion of the amount of Registrable Securities to be sold for
the Holders thereof would create a substantial risk that the proceeds or price
per share to be derived from such Demand Registration will be reduced to a price
range that is below a price range reasonably acceptable to a majority of the
Holders of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand
Registration, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such
Demand Registration shall be allocated (x) first, to the Initiating Holders, (y)
second, to all remaining Holders who did not initiate such Demand Registration
on a pro rata basis, and (z) third, to any other Person on a pro rata basis.
4
(c) Number of Demand Registrations. The Company shall not
be required to effect more than a total of three (3) Demand Registrations
pursuant to this Section 2.1. For purposes of this Section 2.1, a Demand
Registration shall not be counted as one (1) of the three (3) Demand
Registrations under this Section 2.1 (i) unless the Registration Statement
covering the Registrable Securities that are the subject of such Demand
Registration shall have become effective under the Securities Act and is
maintained effective in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section
2.1(a) hereof, (ii) if, after such Registration Statement has become effective
under the Securities Act, such Demand Registration shall be interfered with by
any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other
governmental agency or court for any reason so as to materially interfere with
the distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder, (iii) if the conditions
to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement, if
any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied
or waived, or (iv) if the Holders of Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such Demand Registration are not able to register at least fifty
percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein .
(d) Withdrawal of Registrable Securities. The Initiating
Holders shall be entitled to withdraw a request for a Demand Registration by
providing written notice thereof to the Company, and such request shall not be
counted as a Demand Registration for purposes of this Section 2.1 if the
Initiating Holders shall have paid all Registration Expenses incurred in
connection therewith.
2.2. Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Request for Piggyback Registration. If at any time
after the date hereof the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement
(other than a Registration Statement on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any successor forms
thereto and other than a Registration Statement filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 2.1 hereof) with the SEC to register an offering of Equity Securities or
any other securities for its own account or for the account of any other Person
(a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company shall each such time promptly (but in
any event not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the Company
proposes to file such Registration Statement with the SEC) provide written
notice thereof to each Holder of Registrable Securities (i) describing the terms
and conditions of such Piggyback Registration, (ii) identifying the form of
Registration Statement that the Company proposes to file in connection with such
Piggyback Registration and (iii) offering to include in such Piggyback
Registration all Registrable Securities held by each such Holder (a "Piggyback
Notice"). The Company shall include in such Piggyback Registration all
Registrable Securities for which the Company has received from the Holders
thereof for inclusion therein written requests within thirty (30) days of the
date on which such Piggyback Notice was given by the Company. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Piggyback Registration shall be
deemed to constitute a Demand Registration.
(b) Priority. If the managing underwriter or underwriters
for a Piggyback Registration involving an underwritten offering in which
Registrable Securities are proposed to be included pursuant to this Section 2.2
shall advise the Company that, in its opinion, the inclusion of the amount of
Registrable Securities to be sold for the account of Holders would (i) create a
substantial risk that the proceeds or price per share to be derived from such
Piggyback Registration will be materially reduced or (ii) materially and
adversely affect such Piggyback Registration in any other respect, then the
number of securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration shall be
allocated (1) first, to the Company, (2) second, to the Holders and, if
applicable, the Prior Rights Holders on a pro rata basis, and (3) third, to any
other Person on a pro rata basis.
(c) Withdrawal of Registrable Securities. If, as a result
of the proration provisions of Section 2.2(b), any Holder shall not be entitled
to include all of such Holder's Registrable Securities in a Piggyback
Registration that such Holder has requested be included, such Holder may elect
to withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration;
provided, however, that such withdrawal
5
election shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal election, a
Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the
Piggyback Registration as to which such withdrawal election was made.
(d) Right to Terminate Piggyback Registration. If at any
time prior to the date on which the Registration Statement for a Piggyback
Registration is declared effective by the SEC the Company shall determine for
any reason to terminate such Piggyback Registration, the Company shall provide
written notice of such determination to each Holder of Registrable Securities
and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligations to register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such Piggyback Registration, without prejudice,
however, to the rights of Holders of Registrable Securities to request that such
terminated Piggyback Registration be effected as a Demand Registration;
provided, however, that the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred
by a Holder of Registrable Securities or otherwise in connection with such
terminated Piggyback Registration.
2.3. Hold-Back Agreements. In connection with any underwritten
offering made pursuant to a Demand Registration, the Company shall not, if
requested in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters for such
underwritten offering, effect any public sale or distribution of Equity
Securities for its own account during the period beginning on the 30th day prior
to and ending on the 120th day after the effective date of any such underwritten
offering.
2.4. Registration Procedures.
(a) Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is
required by the provisions of this Agreement to cause Registrable Securities to
be registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall:
(i) prepare and file with the SEC as soon as
practicable an appropriate Registration Statement with respect to such
Registrable Securities, use its best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable,
and to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented,
amended and current for the time period required by this Agreement, to the
extent permitted under the Securities Act, or until the distribution
contemplated in such Registration Statement is completed; provided, however,
that as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than three (3)
Business Days before filing such Registration Statement, any related Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than any amendment or supplement
made solely as a result of incorporation by reference of documents filed with
the SEC subsequent to the filing of such Registration Statement, the Company
shall furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement, their counsel and the underwriters, if any, copies of
all such documents proposed to be filed with the SEC, which Holders, counsel and
underwriters shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review such documents
and comment thereon;
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration
Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for
the applicable period set forth in Sections 2.1 or 2.2 hereof, as the case may
be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus
supplements, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as applicable,
under the Securities Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of
the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by
such Registration Statement until such time as all Registrable Securities have
been disposed of and in accordance with the intended method or methods of
distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to such
Prospectus;
6
(iii) promptly notify the selling Holders of
Registrable Securities and the managing underwriter, if any, and (if requested
by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, (1) when the Prospectus or
any supplement or post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and, with
respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto,
when the same has become effective, (2) of any request by the SEC for amendments
or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any
additional information, (3) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation of
any proceedings for that purpose, (4) of the receipt by the Company of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (5) upon discovery by the
Company that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, a
Registration Statement or any related Prospectus contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(iv) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain
the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement, or the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the
applicable securities or blue sky laws in any jurisdiction in the United States,
at the earliest practicable moment;
(v) if requested by the managing underwriter or
a Holder of Registrable Securities being sold in connection with an underwritten
offering, promptly incorporate in a supplement or post-effective amendment to a
Registration Statement or Prospectus such information as the managing
underwriter and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
sold agree should be included therein relating to the sale of the Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the
number of Registrable Securities being sold to underwriters, the purchase price
being paid therefor by such underwriters and with respect to any other terms of
the underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such
offering; and make all required filings of such supplement or post-effective
amendment as soon as notified of the matters to be incorporated in such
supplement or post-effective amendment;
(vi) furnish to each selling Holder of
Registrable Securities and each managing underwriter, if any, without charge,
one signed copy of the Registration Statement or Registration Statements and any
post-effective amendment thereto, including all financial statements and
schedules thereto, all supplements, amendments and exhibits thereto, and all
documents, information and other materials incorporated by reference therein, as
promptly as practicable after the filing thereof with the SEC;
(vii) deliver to each selling Holder of
Registrable Securities and each managing underwriter, if any, without charge, as
many copies of each Prospectus (and each preliminary Prospectus) as such Persons
may reasonably request (the Company hereby consenting to the use of each such
Prospectus (or preliminary Prospectus)) by each of the selling Holders of
Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the
offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus (or
preliminary Prospectus) in accordance with applicable law and the disclosure set
forth in such Prospectus);
(viii) use its best efforts to register or qualify
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement for offer and sale
under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each selling
Holder or underwriter may designate in writing, keep such registration or
qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in
effect, and do anything else reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not
then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;
7
(ix) cooperate with the selling Holders of
Registrable Securities and the managing underwriter, if any, to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive

Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names
as the managing underwriter may reasonably request at least three (3) Business
Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters;
(x) use its best efforts to cause the

to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(xi) if the Registration Statement or Prospectus
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference
therein or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to

make the statements therein not misleading;

state and/or other securities laws (including, without limitation, fees and
disbursements of one (1) firm of counsel for the Holders (as selected by the
Holders of a majority of the number of outstanding Registrable Securities to be
included in such
9
Registration) and for the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection
with state or other securities laws qualifications and/or registrations of
Registrable Securities relating solely to determinations of their eligibility
for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the managing underwriter
or underwriters or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
sold may designate);
(c) all printing, messenger, telephone and delivery
expenses;
(d) all fees, disbursements and expenses of one (1) firm
of counsel for the Company, counsel for the managing underwriter or underwriters
and one (1) firm of counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities;
(e) all fees, disbursements and expenses of all
independent public accountants of the Company (including, without limitation,
the expenses of any audit and/or "comfort" letters required by, or incident to
the performance of the obligations of the Company contemplated by, this
Agreement);
(f) all fees, disbursements and expenses of the managing
underwriter or underwriters (excluding discounts and commissions); and
(g) all fees, disbursements and expenses of any other
Person retained by the Company in connection with such Registration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Registration
Expenses" shall not include (i) the Company's internal expenses (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties, the expenses of any annual audit, and the
fees and expenses of any Person retained by the Company), all of which shall be
borne by the Company, and (ii) any underwriter's discounts or commissions,
dealers' selling commissions or transfer taxes, all of which shall be borne by
the Holders of Registrable Securities.
2.6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by Company. The Company shall
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Holder from and against all Losses
arising out of, or based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, or
incorporated by reference therein, under which Registrable Securities were
registered under the Securities Act or incorporated by reference therein,
including, without limitation, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which such statements were made, except to the extent that
the untrue statement or omission resulted from information that a Holder
furnished to the Company in writing expressly for use therein, and (ii) any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or any state securities laws in connection with the offering
covered by such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by such Indemnified
Holder, and shall survive any transfer of Registrable Securities by such
Indemnified Holder. Such indemnity shall not be exclusive and shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities.
Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, its directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act for all
Losses arising out of, or based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, or
incorporated by reference therein, under which Registrable Securities were
registered under the Securities Act or incorporated by reference therein,
including, without limitation, any
10
preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein or any amendments
or supplements thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission
resulted from information that a Holder furnished to the Company in writing
expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall have
any liability from an amount that exceeds the net proceeds to be received by
such Holder upon the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such
indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by the Company, and shall survive
any transfer of Registrable Securities by such Indemnified Holder.
(c) Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by
a party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") under this Section 2.6
of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental investigation or inquiry), such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party pursuant to this
Section 2.6 (the "Indemnifying Party"), deliver a written notice of the
commencement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the Indemnifying Party so desires, jointly
with any other Indemnifying Party similarly noticed, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action or proceeding and to participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be the expense
of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay
such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume
the defense of such action or proceeding or has failed to employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in any such action or
proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such action or proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party
that are different from, or additional to, those available to the Indemnifying
Party. If the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that
it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party as
permitted by the provisions of the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on
behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
counsel at any time for the Indemnified Party in connection with any one such
action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or
proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations
or circumstances. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment
or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the claimant's or plaintiff's release of the Indemnified Party from all
liability concerning the action or proceeding or which includes any non-monetary
settlement.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in
this Section 2.6 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party under Sections 2.6(a) or
2.6(b) above (other than by reason of exceptions provided therein) in respect of
any Losses referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of
indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall to the extent permitted by
applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the
Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.6(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred
by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any
action or proceeding. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one
hand and of the Indemnified Party 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 Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party
and the parties' relative intent,
11
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Holder of
Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the amount by which the net proceeds of the offering (before deducting expenses,
if any) received by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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.
(e) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to
that specified in this Section 2.6 shall be given by the Company and each
selling Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any required
registration under any federal or state law or regulation of any governmental
authority, other than the Securities Act.
2.7. Rule 144. In order to make available to each Holder the
benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation
of the SEC that may at any time permit such Holder to sell Registrable
Securities to the public without registration or pursuant to Form S-3, the
Company shall, from and after the date hereof, (a) timely file such information,
documents and reports required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and (b) furnish to each Holder upon request (i) a written statement
by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act or that it qualifies as a
registrant whose securities may be registered under Form S-3 (or any successor
form thereto), (ii) a copy of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (iii) such other reports, documents
and/or information as such Holder may request in order to avail itself of any
exemption under the Securities Act for the sale of Registrable Securities
without registration thereunder.
2.8. Other Registration Rights Agreements. Except for any
underwriting agreement between the Company and one or more managing underwriter
or underwriters, the Company shall not on or after the date hereof enter into
any agreement that conflicts with the terms and provisions hereof with any
Person providing for the registration under the Securities Act of any Equity
Securities held by such Person.
2.9. Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company
shall not effect or permit to occur any combination or subdivision of its
securities that would adversely affect the ability of the holders of Registrable
Securities to include such Registrable Securities in any Registration of its
securities or the marketability of such Registrable Securities under any such
Registration.
3. Information Rights. Unless such financial statements or reports have
been filed with the SEC, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of
the SEC, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company shall furnish to
each Holder of Registrable Securities who is the beneficial owner of five
percent (5%) or more of the then outstanding Common Stock (i) all quarterly and
annual financial information that would be required to be contained in an Annual
Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q if the Company were
required to file such reports, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and, with respect to the
annual information only, a report thereon by the Company's certified independent
accountants, (ii) all current reports that would be required to be filed with
the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports. In
addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC,
12
the Company shall file a copy of all such information and reports with the
Commission for public availability (unless the Commission will not accept such a
filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and
prospective investors upon request of Investor. In addition, the Company shall
furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities (i) the information required to
be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act and (ii) such
financial and other information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries as
Investor may from time to time request.
4. Observer Rights. For so long as the number of Warrant Shares is equal
to or in excess of ten percent (10%) of the then outstanding Common Stock, the
Holders of a majority of the Warrant Shares shall be entitled to designate from
time to time one (1) non-voting observer (the "Representative") to be present at
and attend all meetings and other functions of the Board of Directors. The
Company shall provide the Representative with notice of all such meeting and
functions, including the time and place of such meetings and functions, and
copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other documents, materials or
information, financial or otherwise, which the Company provides to its Board of
Directors in connection therewith; provided, however, that (i) the
Representative shall agree to hold in trust and confidence all such information
so provided to him or her, and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to exclude
such Representative from access to any information provided to, or meetings or
other functions of, the Board of Directors if the Company determines in good
faith that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve attorney-client
privileged matters. The Company shall reimburse the Representative for his or
her out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings or other functions of
the Board of Directors to the extent provided in, and in accordance with, the
Company's reimbursement policy in effect from time to time with respect to
members of the Board of Directors who are not officers or employees of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries.
5. AMEX Listing. From and after the date hereof, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing of the Registrable
Securities on the American Stock Exchange.
6. Voting. For so long as Investor shall be the record holder of all of
the Initial Preferred Shares, Investor shall not vote, or cause to be voted, any
Registrable Securities in favor of or against any proposal at any annual or
special meeting of the shareholders of the Company; provided, however, that
nothing contained in this Section 6 shall prohibit Investor from voting, or
causing to be voted, all or any portion of the Initial Preferred Shares in favor
of or against any proposal at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders
of the Company.
7. Tax Return Preparation Expenses. For so long as Investor shall be the
record holder of all or any portion of the Initial Preferred Shares, the Company
shall reimburse Investor for all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by
Investor in connection with the preparation of any federal and state tax returns
of Investor.
8. Board of Directors. For so long as Investor shall be the record holder
of at least forty percent (40%) of the Initial Preferred Shares, the Company
shall, upon receipt of written notice from Investor, take all action necessary
to cause the authorized number of members of the Board of Directors to be
increased or decreased (as the case may be) to such number as Investor shall
request in such written notice; provided, however, that the authorized number of
members of the Board of Directors shall not be decreased to a number that is
less than seven (7) (or such other minimum number of members of the Board of
Directors required by the Articles of Incorporation, the Code of Regulations or
applicable law); provided, further, that with respect to any increase in the
authorized number of members of the Board of Directors, the holders of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to fill that number of vacancies in the Board
of Directors, if any, resulting therefrom necessary to comply with the
provisions of Article Fourth paragraph (d)(5) of the Articles of Incorporation,
and any remaining vacancies in the Board of Directors shall then be filled by
the members of the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of the
Code of Regulations.

Agreement.
9.10. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any
right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any
breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such

be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence
therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor
shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other
breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

management or policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of securities

such terms; (iv) words in the singular shall be held to include the plural and
vice versa, and words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender as
the context requires; (v) the terms "hereof," "herein," and "herewith" and words

not limited to, an action for damages as a result of any such breach and/or an
action for specific performance of any such covenant or agreement contained in
this Agreement. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to any party under
