REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of October ___,
2004 by and between IPOINT-MEDIA LTD., a company chartered under the laws of the
State of Israel (the "Company"), and CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS, LP, a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Investor").
WHEREAS:
A. In connection with the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement by and
between the parties hereto of even date herewith (the "Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement"), the Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, to issue and sell
to the Investor that number of shares of the Company's ordinary shares, par
value NIS 1 per share (the "Common Stock"), which can be purchased pursuant to
the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement for an aggregate purchase
price of up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). Capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement.
B. To induce the Investor to execute and deliver the Standby Equity
Distribution Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration
rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the
"1933 Act"), and applicable state securities laws.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor
hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
a. "Person" means a corporation, a limited liability company, an
association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a
governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.
b. "Register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration
Statements (as defined below) in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to
Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering
securities on a continuous or delayed basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or
ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement(s) by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
c. "Registrable Securities" means the shares of Common Stock
issuable to Investor pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement,
including, without limitation, the First Investor's Shares and the Second
Investor's Shares (as such terms are defined in Section 12.4 of the Standby
Equity Distribution Agreement).
d. "Registration Statement" means a registration statement under the
1933 Act which covers the Registrable Securities.
2. REGISTRATION.
a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with
the SEC a Registration Statement on Form X-0, XX-0 or on such other form as is
available, which shall register the sale of the Registrable Securities by the
Investor. The Company shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared
effective by the SEC.
b. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number
of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section
2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities which the
Investor has purchased pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement,
the Company shall amend the Registration Statement, or file a new Registration
Statement (on the short form available therefore, if applicable), or both, so as
to cover all of such Registrable Securities which the Investor has purchased
pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement as soon as practicable,
but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefore
arises. The Company shall use it best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the
filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares
available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed "insufficient to cover
all of the Registrable Securities" if at any time the number of Registrable
Securities issuable on an Advance Notice Date is greater than the number of
shares available for resale under such Registration Statement.
3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.
a. The Company shall keep the Registration Statement effective
pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which the
Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement or (ii) the Registrable Securities are eligible to be
sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act (the "Registration Period"), which
Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and
prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state 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.
b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
(including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration
Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated
under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period,
comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement
until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed
of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or
2
sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of
amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be
filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by
reason of the Company's filing a report on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB or Form 8-K
or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "1934 Act"), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference
into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or
supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed
which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the
Registration Statement.
c. The Company shall furnish to the Investor without charge, (i) at
least one copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC
and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary
prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final prospectus included in such
Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other
number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other
documents as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
d. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and
qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under
such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those
jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and
supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to
maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take
such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and
qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to (w) make any change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws,
(x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be
required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of
process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor
of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for
sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United
States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any
proceeding for such purpose.
e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or
development, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening
of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration
Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any
material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment
to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and
deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor. The
Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus
3
or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and
when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become
effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor
by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the
SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related
prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate.
f. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of
any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement,
or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for
sale in any jurisdiction within the United States of America and, if such an
order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or
suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the
issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual
notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
g. At the reasonable request of the Investor, the Company shall
furnish to the Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as the Investor may
reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company's independent
certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by
independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel
representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form,
scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to the Investor.
h. The Company shall make available for inspection by (i) the
Investor and (ii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the
Investor (collectively, the "Inspectors") all pertinent financial and other
records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company
(collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each
Inspector, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply
all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however,
that each Inspector shall agree, and the Investor hereby agrees, to hold in
strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or
use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good
faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so
notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or
correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise
required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant
to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of
competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made
generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this
or any other agreement of which the Inspector and the Investor has knowledge.
The Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records
is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or
through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at
its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to
obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.
4
i. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure
of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i)
disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state
securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid
or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final,
non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the
public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other
agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of
such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt
written notice to the Investor and allow the Investor, at the Investor's
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain
a protective order for, such information.
j. The Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement (i) to be listed on
each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued
by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable
Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) to secure
the inclusion for quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. OTC Bulletin Board for such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay
all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this
Section 3(j).
k. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to the extent
applicable, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
(not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to
be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to
be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investor may
reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor may request.
l. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable
Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
m. The Company shall make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the
close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying
with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 0000 Xxx) covering a twelve-month
period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter
next following the effective date of the Registration Statement.
n. The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with
all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any
registration hereunder.
o. Within two (2) business days after a Registration Statement which
covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall
deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the
transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor)
confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
5
p. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to
expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.
The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first
sentence of 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such
Registrable Securities until the Investor's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or receipt of
notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended
certificates for shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Investor in
accordance with the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the
Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt of
a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 3(f) or the first sentence of 3(e) and for which the Investor has not
yet settled.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all
registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers, legal and accounting
fees shall be paid by the Company.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and
hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, the directors,
officers, partners, attorneys, employees, agents, representatives of, and each
Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or
the 1934 Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several
(collectively, "Claims") incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any
action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the
foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other
regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or
not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of
or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction in
6
which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission
to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were
made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any
state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under relating to the
offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
(the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively,
"Violations"). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person and each such
controlling person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable, for any legal fees or disbursements or other reasonable expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an
Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Indemnified Person solely as it relates to such Indemnified
person if expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (y)
shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the
Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by
the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company
pursuant to Section 3(e); and (z) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of
the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other agreement entered into between
the Company and the Investor, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is
solely responsible and shall indemnify each Indemnified Person for the contents
of any registration statement, prospectus or other filing made with the SEC or
otherwise used in the offering of the Company's securities (except as such
disclosure relates solely to the Investor and then only to the extent that such
disclosure conforms with information furnished in writing by the Investor to the
Company), even if the Investor or its agents as an accommodation to the Company
participate or assist in the preparation of such registration statement,
prospectus or other SEC filing. The Company shall retain its own legal counsel
to review, edit, confirm and do all things such counsel deems necessary or
desirable to such registration statement, prospectus or other SEC filing to
ensure that it does not contain an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of material fact or omit or alleged to omit a material fact necessary to make
the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the
statements were made, not misleading. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Indemnified Person.
b. In connection with a Registration Statement, the Investor agrees
to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same
manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each
of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act
(each an "Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which
any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise,
insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any
Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such
Violation solely relates to the Investor and occurs in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Investor
expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject
7
to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section
7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement
is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the
Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim
or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a
result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall
not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or
omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected and such new
prospectus was delivered to the Investor prior to the Investor's use of the
prospectus to which the Claim relates.
c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim,
such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6,
deliver to the indemnifying party 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 control of the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or
the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party,
if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the
representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in
connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the
status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or
proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that
the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
8
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in
respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for
hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms
or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.
The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a
reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 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 Indemnified Damages are incurred.
e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to
(i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the
indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
7. CONTRIBUTION.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited
or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable
under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:
(i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to
contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable
Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by
such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.
With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144
promulgated under the 1933 Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that
may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the
public without registration ("Rule 144") the Company agrees to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;
b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as
the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that
nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 6.3 of the
Standby Equity Distribution Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable
Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that
it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and
the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
9
Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to
sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
9. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may
be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or prospectively), only by a written agreement between the Company and the
Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9
shall be binding upon the Investor and the Company. No consideration shall be
offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of
any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is
offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities
whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or
election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.
b. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required
or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing
