--------------------------
2.1 Grant of Demand Registration Rights.
-----------------------------------
2.1.1 Subject to the terms of this Agreement and Sections
8.5 and 9.4 of the Reorganization Agreement, at any time from and after the
date hereof, the Company agrees that the Holder or Holders (the "Requesting
Holder" or "Requesting Holders," as the case may be) shall have the right
to make a total of five (5) requests for registration under the Securities
Act of no less than 150,000 shares of Registrable Securities then held by
them (which number shall be adjusted to reflect any change in the Company's
capitalization, at any time from and after the date hereof, by reason of a
reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock split, reverse
stock split, repurchase of shares or otherwise) on Form S-1 or any similar
long-form registration or, if available, on Form S-2 or Form S-3 or any
similar short-form registration provided, however that the Requesting
Holders may not make more than two (2) requests which result in Demand
Registrations in any calendar year. Each such request for registration must
specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered,
the anticipated price per share for such offering and whether such
registration is to be in the form of an underwritten offering.
2.1.2 Within ten (10) days after receipt of any request for
registration by the Requesting Holder or Requesting Holders, as the case
may be, pursuant to Section 2.1.1, the Company shall give written notice of
such requested registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities
and will use its best efforts to cause to be included in such registration
all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received
written requests for such inclusion not later than thirty (30) days after
such other Holder's receipt of the Company's notice. All registrations
referred to in this Section 2 shall be referred to as "Demand
Registrations." If the number of Registrable Securities to be offered in a
Demand Registration is restricted, the number of shares to be included in
such offering shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.3
or Section 2.4, as the case may be.
2.2 Selection of Underwriter(s). If the Requesting Holder or
Requesting Holders, as the case may be, elect to have the offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration be in the form of
an underwritten offering, the Holders of a Majority of the Registrable
Securities to be included in such offering shall select and obtain the
investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will
administer the offering (subject to the approval of the Company, not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).
2.3 Priority on Underwritten Demand Registration.
--------------------------------------------
(a) The number of Registrable Securities to be included in a
Demand Registration may be reduced if and to the extent that the
underwriter of securities included in the registration statement shall be
of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of
the securities to be sold therein; provided, however, that the percentage
of the reduction of such Registrable Securities shall be no greater than
the percentage reduction of securities of other selling stockholders, as
such percentage reductions are determined in the good faith judgment of the
Company.
(b) In a Demand Registration in which the Company participates,
such registration statement will include, first, the securities proposed by
the Company to be sold for its own account and, second, the Registrable
Securities subject to any reduction pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof.
(c) In a Demand Registration in which the Company or other
selling shareholders participate, if the aggregate number of shares
actually offered by the Requesting Holders with respect to such
registration is less than 75% of the aggregate number of shares such
Requesting Holders initially requested to be offered as a result of a
reduction pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof, then such registration shall
not count as a Demand Registration hereunder and such Requesting Holders
shall retain their rights hereunder with respect to the number of Demand
Registrations without a reduction as a result of such registration.
(d) The Requesting Holders may abandon a Demand Registration at
any time. An abandoned Demand Registration shall not count as a Demand
Registration and such Requesting Holders shall retain their rights
hereunder with respect to the number of Demand Registrations without a
reduction as a result thereof if such Requesting Holders, at their option,
pay all fees and expenses in connection with such abandoned registration.
2.4 Limitations on Demand Registration. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to effect
any Demand Registration at any time when another registration statement
(other than on Form S-8) of the Company (A) is reasonably foreseen by the
Board to be filed with the Commission within thirty (30) days after the
date of request for Demand Registration, (B) has been filed and not yet
become effective, or (C) has become effective less than six (6) months
prior to the date of the request for Demand Registration.
2.5 Postponement of Demand Registration by the Company. The
Company may postpone for up to 180 days the filing of a registration
statement for a Demand Registration if the Company has delivered a
certificate to the Holders of the Registrable Securities stating that the
Board, acting in good faith, has determined that pursuance of such Demand
Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its
shareholders; provided, however, that in the event of any such
postponement, the Requesting Holder or Requesting Holders, as the case may
be, shall be entitled to withdraw the request for such Demand Registration
and, if such request is withdrawn, such request shall not count as a Demand
Registration hereunder; and provided, further, that the Company may not
exercise its rights under this Section 2.5 more than once in any
twelve-month period.
3. Piggyback Registration Rights.
-----------------------------
3.1 Grant of Piggyback Registration Rights. Subject to the terms
of this Agreement and Sections 8.5 and 9.4 of the Reorganization Agreement,
at any time from and after the date hereof at which the Company shall
determine to file a registration statement under the Securities Act (other
than on Form X-0, X-0 or a registration statement on Form S-l covering
solely an employee benefit plan) in connection with the proposed offer and
sale for money of any of its securities whether or not for its own account
and/or on behalf of selling stockholders, the Company agrees promptly to
give written notice of its determination to all Holders. Upon the written
request of a Holder given within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such
written notice from the Company, the Company agrees to use its best efforts
to cause all such Registrable Securities, the Holders of which have so
requested registration thereof, to be included in such registration
statement and registered under the Securities Act, all to the extent
requisite to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable
Securities to be so registered. All registrations of Registrable Securities
referred to in this Section 3 may be referred to as "Piggyback
Registrations." There is no limitation on the number of Piggyback
Registrations which the Company is obligated to effect. No Piggyback
Registration shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect Demand
Registrations.
3.2 Underwritten Piggyback Registration. If the registration of
which the Company gives written notice pursuant to Section 3.1 is for a
public offering involving an underwriting, the Company agrees to so advise
the Holders as a part of its written notice.
3.3 Priority on Piggyback Registration.
----------------------------------
(a) The number of Registrable Shares to be included in a
Piggyback Registration may be reduced if and to the extent that the
underwriter of securities included in the registration statement shall be
of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of
the securities to be sold therein; provided, however, that the percentage
of the reduction of such Registrable Securities shall be no greater than
the percentage reduction of securities of other selling stockholders, as
such percentage reductions are determined in the good faith judgment of the
Company.
(b) In a Piggyback Registration in which the Company
participates, such registration statement will include, first, the
securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account and,
second, the Registrable Securities subject to any reduction pursuant to
Section 3.3(a) hereof.
4. Registration Procedures. If and as often as the Company is required
by the provisions of Section 2 or Section 3 hereof to include shares of
Registrable Securities held by various Holders in a registration statement
filed under the Securities Act, the Company, at its expense and as
expeditiously as possible, agrees to:
4.1 Registration Statement; Period of Effectiveness. In
accordance with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and
regulations, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
with respect to such securities (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 Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement copies of all such documents to be filed, which documents will be
subject to review of such counsel) and use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective for a period of
ninety (90) days (or, if such registration statement has been filed on Form
S-3, for a period of one (1) year) and prepare and file with the Commission
such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the
prospectus contained therein as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective and such registration statement and prospectus accurate
and complete during such period of time;
4.2 Agreements and Other Actions. Enter into such customary
agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting or purchase
agreement) and take such other actions as the Holders of a Majority of the
Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably
request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities;
4.3 Copies of Registration Statement, Prospectus, Other
Documents. Furnish to the Holders of Registrable Securities participating
in such registration and to the underwriters of the securities being
registered such number of copies of the registration statement and each
amendment and supplement thereto, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus
and such other documents as such underwriters and Holders may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities;
4.4 Blue Sky Qualification. Use its best efforts to register or
qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such
state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as such
participating Holders and underwriters may reasonably request, except that
the Company shall not for any purpose be required to execute a general
consent to service of process or to qualify to do business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified, or to subject
itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction;
4.5 Notification of Filing and Effectiveness. Notify the Holders
participating in such registration, promptly after it shall receive notice
thereof, (i) of the date and time when such registration statement, any
pre-effective amendment, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement
thereto or post-effective amendment to the registration statement has been
filed and, with respect to such registration statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and
(ii) of any request by the Commission or state securities authority for
amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus
related thereto or for additional information;
4.6 Preparation of Amendments and Supplements at Holders'
Request. Prepare and file with the Commission, promptly upon the request of
any such Holders, any amendments or supplements to such registration
statement or prospectus which, in the opinion of counsel for such Holders,
is required under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder in connection with the distribution of the Registrable
Securities by such Holders;
4.7 Correction of Statements or Omissions. Notify such Holders,
at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the discovery 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
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, at the
request of any Holder, the Company will prepare and furnish to such Holder
a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such
prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made;
4.8 Listing. Unless at least 80% of the members of the Company's
Board of Directors agree otherwise, use its best efforts to cause all such
Registrable Securities to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market, provided
that the Registrable Securities shall be listed on each exchange, if any,
on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
4.9 Transfer Agent. Provide a transfer agent and registrar for
all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the
Registration Statement;
4.10 Stop Orders, Proceedings. Advise such Holders, promptly
after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance
of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such
registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for that purpose and promptly use its best efforts to prevent the issuance
of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be
issued;
4.11 Inspection. Make available for inspection upon request by
any Holder covered by such registration statement, by any managing
underwriter of any distribution to be effected pursuant to such
registration statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by any such Holder or any such underwriter, all financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company,
and cause all of the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply
all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement;
4.12. Legal Opinion and Comfort Letter. Obtain an opinion from
the Company's counsel and a "comfort" letter from the Company's independent
public accountants in customary form and covering such matters as are
customarily covered by such opinions and "comfort" letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings, which opinion and letter
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters, if any, and to the
Holders of a Majority of the Registrable Securities, and furnish to each
Holder participating in the offering and to each underwriter, if any, a
copy of such opinion and letter addressed to such Holder (in the case of
the opinion) and underwriter (in the case of the opinion and the "cold
comfort" letter);
4.13. Compliance. Comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of the
registration statement (and in any event within 16 months thereafter), an
earning statement (which need not be audited) covering the period of at
least twelve consecutive months beginning with the first day of the
Company's first calendar quarter after the effective date of the
registration statement, which earning statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
4.14. Marketing. Make reasonably available its officers,
employees and personnel and otherwise provide reasonable assistance to the
underwriters (taking into account the needs of the Company's businesses and
the requirements of the marketing process) in the marketing of Registrable
Securities in any underwritten offering; and
4.15 Incorporated Documents. Promptly prior to the filing of any
document which is to be incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or the prospectus (after the initial filing of such registration
statement) provide copies of such document to counsel for the selling
holders of Registrable Securities and to each managing underwriter, if any,
and make the Company's representatives reasonably available for discussion
of such document and make such changes in such document concerning the
selling holders prior to the filing thereof as counsel for such selling
holders or underwriters may reasonably request.
5. Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(d), with respect to
each inclusion of shares of Registrable Securities in a registration
statement pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 hereof, the Company agrees to
bear all fees, costs and expenses of and incidental to such registration
and the public offering in connection therewith; provided, however, that
the Holders participating in any such registration agree to bear their pro
rata share of any applicable underwriting discount and commissions.
The fees, costs and expenses of registration to be borne as provided
in the preceding sentence shall include, without limitation, all
registration, filing, listing, and NASD fees, printing expenses, expenses
incurred in connection with any road show, fees and disbursements of
counsel and accountants for the Company, fees and disbursement of counsel
for the underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the securities to be
offered (if the Company and/or selling Holders who have requested
registration of their Registrable Securities are otherwise required to bear
such fees and disbursements), all legal fees and disbursements and other
expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws of any
jurisdictions in which such securities are to be registered or qualified,
reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel for the Holders
who have requested registration of their Registrable Securities, to be
selected by the Holders of a majority of the shares of Registrable
Securities to be included in such registration, and the premiums and other
costs of policies of insurance against liability arising out of such public
offering.
6. Underwriting Agreements. In the event any Demand Registration or
Piggyback Registration under this Agreement is an underwritten offering,
the right of any Holder to participate therein, and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities therein, shall be subject to such Holder's
agreeing to enter into, together with the Company, an underwriting
agreement with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting.
7. Indemnification.
---------------
7.1 Indemnification by Company. The Company hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities which are
included in a registration statement (and any officer, director, employee,
associate, affiliate, controlling Person, legal counsel and accountants
thereof) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement from and against, and
agrees to reimburse such Holder (and any officer, director, employee,
associate, affiliate, controlling Person, legal counsel and accountants
thereof) with respect to, any and all claims, actions (actual or
threatened), demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses to
which such Holder may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities,
costs or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such
registration statement, any prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such claim, action, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense is
caused by an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission so made in strict conformity with written information
furnished by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
7.2 Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder of shares of
Registrable Securities which are included in a registration statement
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement hereby agrees, severally and
not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers,
directors, legal counsel and accountants and each Person who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against, and
agrees to reimburse the Company, its officers, directors, legal counsel,
accountants and controlling Persons with respect to, any and all claims,
actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses to which
the Company, its officers, directors, legal counsel, accountants or such
controlling Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such claims, actions, demands, losses, damages,
liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement of any
material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus
contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or are caused by
the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in
each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in
reliance upon and in strict conformity with written information furnished
by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be obligated hereunder to
pay more than the net proceeds realized by it upon its sale of Registrable
Securities included in such registration statement.
7.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by a party
indemnified pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 of
notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of
the foregoing indemnity provisions, such indemnified party will, if a claim
therefor is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to Section
7.1 or Section 7.2, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 7 and shall not relieve the indemnifying
party from liability under this Section 7 unless such indemnifying party is
prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any
other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided,
however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified
party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel (in which
case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense
of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties). Upon the
permitted assumption by the indemnifying party of the defense of such
action, and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying
party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under Section 7.1 or
Section 7.2 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof (other than
reasonable costs of investigation) unless: (i) the indemnified party shall
have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal
defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence;
(ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to
the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a
reasonable time; (iii) the indemnifying party and its counsel do not
actively and vigorously pursue the defense of such action; or (iv) the
indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the
indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying
party shall be liable to an indemnified party for any settlement of any
action or claim without the consent of the indemnifying party, and no
indemnifying party may unreasonably withhold its consent to any such
settlement. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party
of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation.
7.4 Contribution.
------------
7.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.1 or
Section 7.2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable
to a party to be indemnified with respect to any claims, actions, demands,
losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party under any such Section, in lieu of indemnifying
such indemnified party thereunder, hereby agrees to contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses
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 which resulted in such
claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expense,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault
of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified 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 the indemnifying party or
by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission. If, however, the allocation provided in the second preceding
sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults
but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contributions pursuant to this Section 7.4 were to be 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 preceding
sentences of this Section 7.4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount
any Holder shall be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 7.4
shall be limited to an amount equal to the per share public offering price
(less any underwriting discount and commissions) multiplied by the number
of shares of Registrable Securities sold by such Holder pursuant to the
registration statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute
(less the aggregate amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise
been required to pay in respect of such claim, action, demand, loss,
damage, liability, cost or expense or any substantially similar claim,
action, demand, loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arising from the
sale of such Registrable Securities).
7.4.2 No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 from any person who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
7.4.3 The indemnification and contribution required by this
Section 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during
the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received
or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
8. Rule 144. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary
to enable holders of Registrable Securities to sell such securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the Commission including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, filing on a timely basis all reports required
to be filed by the Exchange Act. Upon the request of any Holder, the
Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it
has complied with such requirements.
9. Form S-3. The Company agrees to take such measures and file such
information, documents and reports, as shall be required of it by the
Commission as a condition to the use of Form S-3. The Company also
covenants to use its best efforts to qualify for the use of Form S-3.
10. Shareholder Information. The Company may request each Holder of
Registrable Securities as to which any registration is sought to be
effected pursuant to this Agreement to furnish the Company with such
information with respect to such Holder and the distribution of such
Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably
request in writing and as shall be required by law or by the Commission in
connection therewith, and each Holder as to which any registration is
sought to be effected pursuant to this Agreement agrees to furnish the
Company with such information.
11. Additional Registration Rights. The Company may grant registration
rights, pari passu with the rights granted in Section 2 and Section 3 of
this Agreement, to persons who become holders of other securities of the
Company subsequent to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, the
Company shall not be obligated to seek or obtain the consent of the
Investors in order to do so subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3 and
3.3 hereof.
12. Forms. All references in this Agreement to particular forms of
registration statements are intended to include, and shall be deemed to
include, references to all successor forms which are intended to replace,
or to apply to similar transactions as, the forms herein referenced.
13. Standstill. To the extent requested by the managing underwriter of
any registration effected pursuant to Section 3 and offered by the Company,
each Holder will defer the sale of Registrable Shares for a period
commencing twenty (20) days prior and terminating one hundred twenty (120)
days after the effective date of the registration statement, provided that
any principal shareholders of the Company who also have shares included in
the registration statement will also defer their sales for a similar
period.
14. Miscellaneous; Termination of Rights.
------------------------------------
14.1 Termination. The rights and obligations of the Holders under
this Agreement shall terminate at such time when, pursuant to clause (k) of
Rule 144, the Holders are no longer subject to the volume limitations
contained in clauses (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144 as determined by
counsel to the Holders.
14.2 Waivers and Amendments.
----------------------
14.2.1 With the written consent of the Holders of a Majority
of the Registrable Securities, the obligations of the Company to the
Investors and the rights of the Investors under this Agreement may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively
or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or
indefinitely), and with the same consent the Company may enter into a
supplementary agreement for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Agreement or of any supplemental agreement or modifying in any manner the
rights and obligations hereunder or thereunder of the Investors and the
Company; provided, however, that no such waiver or supplemental agreement
shall reduce the aforesaid proportion of Registrable Securities, the
Holders of which are required to consent to any waiver or supplemental
agreement, without the consent of all of the Holders; and provided,
further, that, without the consent of any of the Holders, the Company may,
from time to time, amend this Agreement in any manner that, viewed in its
entirety, is ameliorative of, or provides all of the Holders with rights
that are superior to or of greater benefit to such Holders than, the rights
that such Holders hold prior to the date of any such amendment. Upon the
effectuation of each such waiver, consent or agreement of amendment or
modification, the Company agrees to give prompt written notice thereof to
the Holders who have not previously consented thereto in writing. Neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged
or terminated orally or by course of dealing, but only by a statement in
writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change,
waiver, discharge or termination is sought, except to the extent provided
in this Section 14.2. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the failure of any Investor at any time or times to require
performance of any provision hereof by the Company shall in no manner
affect the right of any such Investor at a later time to enforce the same.
No waiver by any party of the breach of any term or provision contained in
this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or
construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a
waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this
Agreement.
14.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing and without the consent
of any other Holders, the rights and obligations of any Holder under this
Agreement may be transferred to any transferee to whom Registrable
Securities are transferred; provided, however, that: (i) such transfers are
in compliance with all other documents and agreements between the Company
and the Holder making such transfer; (ii) the Holder making such transfer
provides the Company with written notice of the transfer of such
Registrable Securities at or prior to such transfer, advising the Company
of the name and address of the proposed transferee and identifying the
securities to be transferred; and (iii) such proposed transferee agrees in
writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement. In such
event, such transferee shall be added to Schedule A and become an Investor
under this Agreement.
14.3 Effect of Waiver or Amendment. Each Investor acknowledges
that by operation of Section 14.2 the Holders of a Majority of the
Registrable Securities will, subject to the limitations contained in such
Section 14.2, have the right and power to diminish or eliminate certain
rights of all of the Investors under this Agreement.
14.4 Rights of Investors Inter Se. Each Investor shall have the
absolute right to exercise or refrain from exercising any right or rights
which such Investor may have by reason of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the right to consent to the waiver of any obligation of
the Company under this Agreement and to enter into an agreement with the
Company for the purpose of modifying this Agreement or any agreement
effecting any such modification, and such Investor shall not incur any
liability to any other Investor with respect to exercising or refraining
from exercising any such right or rights.
14.5 Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be delivered, or mailed first class postage prepaid, registered or
certified mail.
14.5.1 If to any Investor, addressed to such Investor at its
last known address set forth on the Company's corporate records, or at such
other address as such Investor may specify by written notice to the
Company; or
14.5.2 If to the Company, at 00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, or at such
other address as the Company may specify by written notice to the
Investors.
Each such notice, request, consent and other communication
shall, for all purposes of the Agreement, be treated as being effective or
having been given when delivered, if delivered personally, or, if sent by
mail, at the earlier of its actual receipt or three (3) days after the same
has been deposited in a regularly maintained receptacle for the deposit of
U.S. mail, addressed and postage prepaid as aforesaid.
14.6 Severability. Should any one or more of the provisions of
this Agreement or of any agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement
be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this
Agreement and of each other agreement entered into pursuant to this
Agreement shall be given effect separately from the provision or provisions
determined to be illegal or unenforceable and shall not be affected
thereby.
14.7 Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto,
whether so expressed or not and, in particular, shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Holder or Holders at the
time of any of the Registrable Securities. Subject to the immediately
preceding sentence, this Agreement shall not run to the benefit of or be
enforceable by any Person other than a party to this Agreement and its
successors and assigns.
14.8 Headings. The headings of the sections, subsections and
paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of
reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
14.9 Choice of Law. It is the intention of the parties that the
internal substantive laws, without regard to the laws of conflicts, of the
State of New Jersey should govern the enforceability and validity of this
Agreement, the construction of its terms and the interpretation of the
rights and duties of the parties.
14.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties hereto hereby
irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New Jersey State or
Federal court sitting in the State of New Jersey, for any action or
proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, and the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in New Jersey State court
or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively
do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such
action or proceeding.
14.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements or
understandings of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. All
such agreements shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
14.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document. All
such counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together
and shall constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this
Registration Rights Agreement to be executed personally or by a duly
authorized representative thereof as of the day and year first above
written.
