2. Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to
register any of its securities under the 1933 Act, other than pursuant to a
registration on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or any successor form or forms), the Company
will give 20 days prior written notice to each Holder of Registrable Securities
of the intention to effect such a registration and, subject to the provisions of
subsection (b) hereof, will include in such registration all Registrable
Securities with respect to which the Holder has given notice of request for
inclusion therein to the Company within 15 days after the Company gives such
notice (a "Piggyback Registration"); provided that the Company shall have the
right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant to this Section
2(a) without obligation to any Holder.
(b) Priority on Piggyback Registration. In the event that any
Piggyback Registration is an underwritten public offering, the number of
Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced
(pro rata among the Holders of Registrable Securities who have requested
registration of Registrable Securities based upon the number of Registrable
Securities requested to be registered by such Holders) if and to the extent that
the managing underwriter shall advise the Company that such inclusion would
adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company
therein, provided, however, that if any shares are to be included in such
underwriting for the account of any person ("Other Security Holder") other than
the Company or Holders of Registrable Securities, such shares of the Other
Security Holder will be reduced to zero before any reduction shall be made in
the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration by all
Holders of Registrable Securities.
3. Demand Registrations. If at any time following the date which is one
hundred eighty (180) days after the initial public offering by the Company, one
or more of the Holders of an aggregate of not less than 20% of the Registrable
Securities ("Initiating Holders") then outstanding shall notify the Company in
writing that it or they intend to offer or cause to be offered for public sale
all or any portion of their Registrable Securities ("Demand Request"), the
Company will notify all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the "Company
Notice"). The Company shall file as soon as practicable, and in any event within
60 days of the receipt of the Demand Request, a registration statement, and use
its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, with
respect to the registration of such Registrable Securities as may be requested
by the Initiating Holders and such other Registrable Securities owned by any
3
4
other Holders with respect to which the Company has received written requests
for inclusion within 20 days of the Company Notice. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be obligated to comply with this
Section 3 on two occasions only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company
shall furnish to the Initiating Holder(s) a certificate signed by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Company it would be materially detrimental to the
Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it
is therefore desirable to defer the filing of such registration statement, the
Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing
for a period of 90 days after receipt of the Demand Request.
4. Registration on Form S-3. At such time as the Company is qualified
to register its securities on Form S-3, and in addition to the rights contained
in Section 2, if at any time a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities (the
"Initiating Form S-3 Holders") requests that the Company file a registration
statement on Form S-3 for a sale or public offering of all or any portion of the
Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Form S-3 Holder or Holders (the
"Form S-3 Demand"), the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of
which would exceed $5,000,000, then the Company (a) will promptly give at least
20 days written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders and (b)
use its best efforts to register under the Securities Act on Form S-3, for
public sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified in the Form
S-3 Notice, the number of Registrable Securities specified in such Form S- 3
Notice together with any Registrable Securities requested to be included by any
other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request
given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to the Initiating
Form S-3 Holder(s) a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders
for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore desirable to
defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the
right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of 90 days
after receipt of the Form S-3 Demand.
5. Holdback Agreements. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees
not to effect any public sale or distribution of equity securities of the
Company, or any securities convertible into or exercisable for such securities,
for a period of 180 days beginning on the effective date of any underwritten
registration in which such Holder's Registrable Securities are included (except
as part of such underwritten registration) unless the underwriters managing the
registered public offering otherwise agree; provided, that in no event shall a
holder of Registrable Securities be subject to a limitation on sale or
distribution that covers a period longer than that to which any other security
holder whose securities are included in the registration is subject, and
provided further, that the limitation set forth herein shall not apply to any
securities of the Company which are purchased in a public offering registered
under the 1933 Act or in the open market following an initial public offering by
the Company.

6. Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Registrable
Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant
to this Restated Agreement, the Company will as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement
with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause
such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously
effective for a period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, have been
sold or a period of 180 days, whichever is shorter;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as
may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the period
specified in Section 6(a) and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and
the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all Registrable Securities;
provided that, at a time reasonably prior to the filing of a Registration
Statement or Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company
will furnish to counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities included in
such registration, copies of all documents proposed to be filed, which documents
will be subject to the comments of such counsel;
(c) make available for inspection by a representative of the
Holders of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any
distribution pursuant to such registration, and any attorney, accountant or
other agent retained by such representative 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 representative, underwriter, attorney,
accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;
(d) notify the counsel for the Holders of Registrable
Securities included in such registration promptly, and, if requested, confirm
such advice in writing, (i) when the Prospectus or any supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and with respect to the Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective,
(ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance
by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, and (iv) 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;
(e) make reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement;
(f) deliver to each Holder of Registrable Securities included
in such registration, as the case may be, as many copies of the Registration
Statement and Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any
amendment or supplement thereto as such holder may reasonably request;
5
6
(g) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities,
use its best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the holders of
Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, and their respective
counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as such Holder or any underwriter reasonably requests in writing,
and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the
distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement; provided that the Company will 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;
(h) cause all Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer
quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed; and provide a transfer agent and registrar for all
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and a CUSIP
number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the
effective date of such registration;
(i) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter
into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, usual and
customary in form, with the managing underwriter of such offering (the Holders
of Registrable Securities included in such registration, shall also enter into
and perform their obligations under such agreement, usual and customary in
form); and the Company shall take such other actions as the underwriters
reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate a disposition of the
Registrable Securities;
(j) upon request, furnish to each Holder of Registrable
Securities included in such registration, a signed counterpart, addressed to
such Holder, of (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective
date of such Registration Statement (or, if such registration includes an
underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the
underwriting agreement), and (ii) if permitted, a "comfort" letter, dated the
effective date of such Registration Statement (and, if such registration
includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under
the underwriting agreement), signed by the independent public accountants who
have certified the Company's financial statements included in such Registration
Statement;
(k) immediately notify each Holder of Registrable Securities
included in such registration, at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon
the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in such
Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an 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 in the light of the
circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such Holder, promptly
prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement
to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus
shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact
6
7
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
(l) otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act,
and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the
registration or the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder;
(m) In connection with each registration hereunder, the
Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration will
furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to themselves
and the proposed distribution by them as reasonably shall be necessary in order
to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws. In
addition, the Holders of Registrable Securities agree that they will not deliver
any form of Prospectus in connection with the sale of any Registrable Securities
as to which the Company has advised such Holders that it is preparing an
amendment or supplement.
7. Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses in connection with any
registration pursuant to Sections 2, 3 and 4, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses
(including counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state
securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, costs of
insurance and fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Holders of
Registrable Securities. All underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the sale of a holder's Registrable Securities will be paid by such
holder.
8. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by Company. In connection with any
registration pursuant to this Restated Agreement, the Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder
of Registrable Securities included in a registration pursuant to this Restated
Agreement, such Holder's officers, directors, partners and employees and each
person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) and each
underwriter, if any (including any broker or dealer which may be deemed an
underwriter) and each person who controls any underwriter of the Registrable
Securities against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses caused
by (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, Prospectus or any preliminary prospectus or any
amendment or supplement 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, or (ii) any violation by the Company of any
federal, state or common law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company in
connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or any preliminary
prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and shall reimburse, as
incurred, each of the foregoing persons for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such
claims; provided, however that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section
8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
7
8
of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is
effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld), nor shall the Company be liable to the extent any
loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon any
information furnished in writing to the Company by any Holder, underwriter or
controlling person expressly for use in connection with such registration.
(b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities. In
connection with any registration pursuant to the terms of this Restated
Agreement, each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Company, its directors and officers and each person who controls the Company
(within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expense resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact
or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is
contained in any information furnished in writing by the Holder of Registrable
Securities to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus and that such information was substantially relied upon
by the Company in preparation of the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of the Holder
of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the lesser of (i)
an amount equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the
Registrable Securities sold by the holder in such registration bears to the
total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder or (ii) the dollar
amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Holder and the amount of
any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue statement or omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration; provided, however that the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(b) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall
not unreasonably be withheld).
(c) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification
provided for in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) is judicially determined (by
the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and
the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) to
be unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless,
notwithstanding the fact that this Section 8 provides for indemnification in
such case, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, 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 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.
8
9
(d) Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the parties
under this Section 8 shall survive the completion of the offering of Registrable
Securities and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
9. Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the
date of this Restated Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior
written consent of Holder(s) of 662/3% of all Registrable Securities then held
by all Holders, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder
of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any
registration rights the terms of which are more favorable than the registration
rights granted to the Holders hereunder.
10. Changes in Common Stock. If, and as often as, there is any change
in the Common Stock by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or
reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or
recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in
the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall
continue with respect to the Common Stock as so changed.
11. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of
certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the
Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees
to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined under the 1933 Act, at all times from and after 90
days following the earlier of the effective date of the Company's first
registration under the 1933 Act or the registration of any class of the
Company's securities under Xxxxxxx 00 xx xxx 0000 Xxx.
(x) use its best efforts to file with the Commission in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities forthwith
upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with
the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act,
(ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and
(iii) such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such Holder
may reasonable request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the
Commission allowing such holder to sell any Registrable Securities without
registration.
12. Amendment and Restatement of Predecessor Agreements. This Restated
Agreement amends and restates the following agreements (collectively, the
"Predecessor Agreements") in all respects:
