4
(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the limitations set forth
in paragraph (d) below, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof
HIIC and its Affiliates shall be entitled to make written requests of the
Company (each such request being a "Demand") for registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of all or part of the
Registrable Securities (a "Demand Registration"). Such Demand shall specify the
aggregate number and kind of Registrable Securities requested to be registered.
(b) Number of Demand Registrations. HIIC and its Affiliates shall be
entitled to two (2) Demand Registrations.
(c) Satisfaction of Obligations. Subject to Section 4, a
registration shall not be treated as a Demand Registration until (i) the
applicable registration statement under the Securities Act has been filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to such
Demand Registration, (ii) such registration statement shall have been maintained
continuously effective for a period of at least thirty (30) days (ninety (90)
days in the event of a best efforts underwriting pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii))
or such shorter period as when all Registrable Securities included therein have
been sold thereunder in accordance with the manner of distribution set forth in
such registration statement and (iii) the number or amount of Registrable
Securities sold pursuant to such registration shall equal or exceed eighty
percent (80%) of the Registrable Securities as to which HIIC and/or its
Affiliates requested registration.
(d) Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not be
obligated to file any Demand Registration:
(i) prior to June 30, 1998 for an aggregate number of
Registrable Securities in excess of one million (1,000,000) shares (as
adjusted for stock splits, dividends, reclassifications, etc.), unless
the Company receives the written opinion of its investment bank at the
time that the Trading Price of the Company Common Stock would not fall
by more than twenty-five percent (25%) for more than fifteen (15)
consecutive trading days as a result of such sale, in which case, a
Demand could be brought for such aggregate number of Registrable
Shares as would not, in such investment bank's opinion, cause the
Trading Price to fall below such level;
(ii) unless the method of distribution is pursuant to a so-
called "firm commitment" underwritten registration to be managed and
administered by an underwriter selected by the Board of Directors of
the Company; provided, however, in the event the Company cannot reach
an agreement with an underwriter to underwrite a registration on a
firm commitment basis, in such circumstance only, the method of
distribution may be a "best efforts" underwritten registration to be
managed and administered by an underwriter selected by the Board of
Directors of the Company; or
(iii) within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective
date of a so-called "firm commitment" underwritten registration in
which all holders of Registrable Securities were given so-called
"piggyback" rights pursuant to Section 3 hereof, unless the number or
amount of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such registration is
less than eighty percent (80%) of the Registrable Securities as to
which HIIC and/or its Affiliates requested registration.
In addition, the Company shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to
HIIC) the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement in respect of
a Demand for up to one hundred twenty (120) days (but
5
no more than once in any consecutive eight (8) months) after the date of receipt
of a Demand Notice if the Company's Board of Directors determines that effecting
the Demand Registration in respect of such Demand would (i) have a material
adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company to engage in any public
debt or equity financing, acquisition or disposition of assets or any merger,
consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction or (ii) require
disclosure of a previously undisclosed material development involving the
Company which disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or
its prospects. In the event the Company receives a request prior to June 30,
1998 to file a Demand Registration for an aggregate number of Registrable
Securities in excess of one million (1,000,000) shares (as adjusted for stock
splits, dividends, reclassifications, etc.), the Company shall request its
investment bank to conduct the analysis set forth in paragraph (d)(i) above, and
in the event such investment bank does not issue within fifteen (15) business
days after the date of receipt of a Demand Notice by the Company its written
opinion that the sale would cause the Trading Price of the Company Common Stock
to fall by more than twenty-five percent (25%) for more than fifteen (15)
consecutive trading days, then it shall be presumed for purposes of this
paragraph (d) that such investment bank was of the opinion that the sale would
not cause the Trading Price of the Company Common Stock to fall by more than
twenty-five percent (25%) for more than fifteen (15) consecutive trading days
(e) Participation in Demand Registrations. If, in connection with a
Demand Registration, the managing underwriter advises the Company and the
holders of the Registrable Securities sought to be included in such Demand
Registration in writing that, in its opinion, the marketability of the
Registrable Securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto would be adversely
affected by the inclusion of both the Registrable Securities and, if authorized
pursuant to this paragraph, other securities of the Company, in each case,
sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration, then the
Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such Demand
Registration only such securities as the Company and the holders of Registrable
Securities sought to be registered therein ("Demanding Sellers") are advised in
writing by such underwriter can be sold without such an effect (the "Maximum
Demand Number"), as follows and in the following order of priority:
(i) first, the number of Registrable Securities sought to be
registered by each Demanding Seller, pro rata in proportion to the
number of Registrable Securities sought to be registered by all
Demanding Sellers; and
(ii) second, if the number of Registrable Securities to be
included under clause (i) next above is less than the Maximum Demand
Number, the number of securities sought to be included by each other
seller, pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to
be sold by all such other sellers, which in the aggregate, when added
to the number of securities to be included pursuant to clause (i) next
above, equals the Maximum Demand Number.
SECTION 3. Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Right to Piggyback. At any time from and after the date hereof
for so long as HIIC and its Affiliates collectively own five percent (5%) or
more of the outstanding Voting Shares of the Company, on a fully diluted basis,
whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the
Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Demand Registration or on a Form S-4 or
S-8 (or any successor form)) (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company shall
give all holders of Registrable Securities prompt written notice thereof (but
not less than thirty (30) days prior to the filing by the Company with the
Commission of any registration statement with respect thereto). Such notice (a
"Piggyback Notice") shall specify, at a minimum, to the extent known, the number
and kind of securities proposed to be registered, the proposed date
6
of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed means
of distribution, the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters (if any and
if known), and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed minimum
offering price of such securities, as such price is proposed to appear on the
facing page of such registration statement. Upon the written request of a holder
of Registrable Securities given within ten (10) business days of such holder's
receipt of the Piggyback Notice (which written request shall specify the number
and kind of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder and
the intended method of distribution thereof), the Company shall include in such
registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has
received such written requests for inclusion; provided that such holder sells
such Registrable Securities only in accordance with the method of distribution
selected by the Company or in accordance with any other method of distribution
which may be approved by the managing underwriter of such offering.
(b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If, in connection with a
Piggyback Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such Piggyback
Registration is not an underwritten offering, a nationally recognized
independent underwriter approved by the Board of Directors of the Company)
advises the Company and the holders of the Registrable Securities to be included
in such Piggyback Registration, that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all the
securities sought to be included in such Piggyback Registration by the Company,
any Persons who have sought to have shares registered thereunder pursuant to
rights to demand (other than pursuant to so-called "piggyback" or other
incidental or participation registration rights) such registration (such demand
rights being "Other Demand Rights" and such Persons being "Other Demanding
Sellers"), any holders of Registrable Securities seeking to sell such securities
in such Piggyback Registration ("HIIC Piggyback Sellers") and any other proposed
sellers ("Additional Piggyback Sellers"), in each case, if any, would adversely
affect the marketability of the securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto,
then the Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such
Piggyback Registration only such securities as the Company and the HIIC
Piggyback Sellers are so advised by such underwriter can be sold without such an
effect, which may exclude any class of Registrable Securities if, in the
judgment of such underwriter, the inclusion of such Registrable Securities would
adversely affect the marketability of the securities sought to be sold pursuant
thereto (the "Maximum Piggyback Number"), as follows and in the following order
of priority:
(i) if the Piggyback Registration is an offering on behalf of
the Company and not any Person exercising Other Demand Rights (whether
or not other Persons seek to include securities therein pursuant to
so-called "piggyback" or other incidental or participatory
registration rights) (a "Primary Offering"), then (A) first, such
number of securities to be sold by the Company as the Company shall
have determined, (B) second, if the number of securities to be
included under clause (A) next above is less than the Maximum
Piggyback Number, the number of Registrable Securities of each HIIC
Piggyback Seller, pro rata in proportion to the number of securities
sought to be registered by all HIIC Piggyback Sellers, which in the
aggregate, when added to the number of securities to be registered
under clause (A) next above, equals the Maximum Piggyback Number and
(C) third, if the number of securities to be included under clauses
(A) and (B) next above is less than the Maximum Piggyback Number, the
number of securities of each Additional Piggyback Seller, pro rata in
proportion to the number of securities sought to be registered by all
such Additional Piggyback Sellers, which in the aggregate, when added
to the number of securities to be registered under clauses (A) and (B)
next above, equals the Maximum Piggyback Number;
(ii) if the Piggyback Registration is an offering other than
pursuant to a Primary Offering, then (A) first, such number of
securities sought to be registered by each Other
7
Demanding Seller, pro rata in proportion to the number of securities
sought to be registered by all such Other Demanding Sellers, (B)
second, if the number of securities included under clause (A) next
above is less than the Maximum Piggyback Number, the number of
securities sought to be registered by each HIIC Piggyback Seller, pro
rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to be registered
by all HIIC Piggyback Sellers, which in the aggregate, when added to
the number of securities to be registered pursuant to clause (A) next
above, equals the Maximum Piggyback Number and (C) third, if the
number of securities to be included under clauses (A) and (B) next
above is less than the Maximum Piggyback Number, the number of
securities of each Additional Piggyback Seller, pro rata in proportion
to the number of securities sought to be included by all such
Additional Piggyback Sellers, which in the aggregate, when added to
the number of securities to be registered under clauses (A) and (B)
next above, equals the Maximum Piggyback Number.
(c) Withdrawal by the Company. If, at any time after giving written
notice of its intention to register any of its securities as set forth in
Section 3(a) and prior to the time the registration statement filed in
connection with such registration is declared effective, the Company shall
determine for any reason not to register such securities, the Company may, at
its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of
Registrable Securities and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to
register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn
or abandoned registration.
SECTION 4. Withdrawal Rights. Any holder of Registrable Securities having
notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable
Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act (whether
pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof) shall have the right to withdraw any such
notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities
designated for registration thereby by giving written notice to such effect to
the Company prior to the effective date of such registration statement. In the
event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable
Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall
continue to be Registrable Securities hereunder. No such withdrawal shall affect
the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so
withdrawn. Any registration statement not filed or withdrawn in accordance with
an election by the Company or the holders of Registrable Securities shall not be
counted as a Demand for purposes of Section 2 hereof.
SECTION 5. Holdback Agreements. Each holder of Registrable Securities
agrees, at all times the holders of Registrable Securities have piggyback rights
pursuant to Section 3 hereof, not to effect any public sale or distribution
(including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of the Company, or
any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such
securities, during (a) the seven (7) days immediately prior to the effective
date of any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration and (b) the one
hundred twenty (120)-day period beginning on the effective date of any (i)
Primary Offering in which holders of Registrable Securities had piggyback rights
pursuant to Section 3 hereof (provided, no holder of Registrable Securities
shall be subject to the restrictions pursuant to this clause (i) for any more
than one hundred twenty (120) days in any one hundred eighty (180) day period
and whether or not, in the case of a Piggyback Registration, any Registrable
Securities are included therein), (ii) Demand Registration or (iii) any
Piggyback Registration (other than a Primary Offering), unless the number or
amount of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such Piggyback Registration is
less than eighty percent (80%) of the Registrable Securities as to which HIIC
and/or its Affiliates requested registration (in each case, except as part of
such registration and, or, in each case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), if
later, the date of any underwriting agreement with respect thereto. The Company
agrees to use it best efforts to cause a provision identical to the foregoing to
be included in all registration rights which it grants in the future.

Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant
to this Agreement (whether pursuant to Section 2 or Section 3 of this
Agreement), the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration

method of disposition thereof and, in connection therewith, the Company shall as
expeditiously as possible:

with respect to such Registrable Securities, on any form for which the Company

necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly prepare
and furnish to each such seller a supplement or amendment to the prospectus
contained in such registration statement so that such Registration Statement

the Company to limit access to any such information to the extent that (i) the
Company is restricted from providing such information pursuant to any bona fide
confidentiality agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a
party and (ii) the Company shall have delivered to each seller of the
Registrable Securities a certificate duly executed by the chief executive or
chief financial officer of the Company stating that such information does not
contain any material information which would be required to be disclosed in, or
which would materially affect any information required to be disclosed in, such
registration statement;
(k) use its best efforts to comply with all applicable laws related
to such registration statement and offering and sale of securities and all
applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection
therewith (including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) and the rules and
regulations promulgated by the Commission) and make generally available to its
security holders as soon as practicable (but in any event not later than fifteen
(15) months after the effectiveness of such registration statement) an earnings
statement of the Company and its subsidiaries complying with Section 11(a) of
the Securities Act;
(l) use its best efforts to furnish to each seller of Registrable
Securities a signed counterpart of (i) an opinion of counsel for the Company
(which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to
10
HIIC and/or its Affiliates) and (ii) a "comfort" letter signed by the
independent public accountants who have certified the Company's financial
statements included or incorporated by reference in such registration statement,
covering such matters with respect to such registration statement and, in the
case of the accountants' comfort letter, with respect to events subsequent to
the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of
issuer's counsel and in accountants' comfort letters delivered to the
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities for the account of,
or on behalf of, an issuer of common stock, such opinion and comfort letters to
be dated the date such opinions and comfort letters are customarily dated in
such transactions and to be addressed to and reasonably acceptable to the
underwriter and each seller of Registrable Securities; and
(m) take all such other actions as HIIC and/or its Affiliates
reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities.
Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Company shall enter into an
underwriting agreement with a managing underwriter or underwriters containing
representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements customarily included
(but not inconsistent with the agreements contained herein) by an issuer of
common stock in underwriting agreements with respect to offerings of common
stock for the account of, or on behalf of, selling shareholders. Each seller of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be required
to make such representations and warranties to, and agreements with, the Company
and/or underwriter or underwriters as are customary in similar transactions or
are contemplated by the terms of this Agreement. In connection with any offering
of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
shall (i) furnish to the underwriter unlegended certificates representing
ownership of the Registrable Securities being sold, in such denominations as
requested for sale pursuant to such registration and (ii) instruct any transfer
agent and registrar of the Registrable Securities to release any stop transfer
order with respect thereto.
Each seller of Registrable Securities hereunder agrees that upon receipt of
any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described
in paragraph (g) of this Section 6, such seller shall forthwith discontinue such
seller's disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable
registration statement and prospectus relating thereto until such seller's
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by
paragraph (g) of this Section 6 and, if so directed by the Company, deliver to
the Company (at the Company's sole cost and expense) all copies then in such
seller's possession of the prospectus current at the time of receipt of such
notice relating to such Registrable Securities. In the event the Company shall
give such notice, the thirty (30) day period during which such registration
statement must remain effective pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended by
the number of days during the period from the date of giving of a notice
regarding the happening of an event of the kind described in paragraph (g) of
this Section 6 to the date when all such sellers shall receive such a
supplemented or amended prospectus and such prospectus shall have been filed
with the Commission.
SECTION 7. Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company's
performance of, or compliance with, its obligations under this Agreement
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, all fees and
expenses of compliance with securities and "blue sky" laws (including, without
limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel for underwriters or placement or
sales agents in connection therewith to the extent provided for in the
underwriting agreement), all printing and copying expenses, all messenger and
delivery expenses, all fees and expenses of underwriters and sales and placement
agents in connection therewith (excluding discounts, commissions and
allowances), all fees and expenses of the Company's independent certified public
accountants (except as otherwise provided in Section 2(d)) and counsel
(including, without limitation, with respect to "comfort" letters and opinions)
and other Persons retained by the Company in connection therewith (collectively,
the "Registration Expenses") shall be borne by the Company unless
11
otherwise provided in this Agreement except that the Company will, in any event
(and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true), pay its
internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of
its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties, and the
expense of any annual audit) (collectively, "Internal Expenses") and the
expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities
exchange and included in each established over-the-counter market on which
securities of the same class issued by the Company are then listed or traded or
for listing on the NASDAQ pursuant to paragraph (i) of Section 6 of this
Agreement. The sellers of Registrable Shares shall be responsible for their own
underwriting discounts, commissions and allowances and legal fees and expenses.
SECTION 8. Preemptive Rights.
(a) Preemptive Rights. Except for the issuance of securities of the
Company (i) to the Company's or its Affiliates' employees, directors or
consultants (or pursuant to options or rights granted to Persons who were
employees, directors or consultants of the Company or its Affiliates as of the
date of grant) pursuant to a stock purchase or option plan adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Company, (ii) in connection with an acquisition by the
Company or its Affiliates of the assets or capital stock of a third party, (iii)
pursuant to a stock split, dividend, etc., (iv) except as provided in paragraph
(d) below, upon the conversion of any preference shares into Common Stock, or
(v) to any lender in connection with the extension, renewal, modification or
renegotiation of any credit or indebtedness to the Company or its Affiliates
(provided, it being the understanding of the parties that the exception set
forth in this clause (v) shall not apply to any issuance of securities of the
Company in settlement or repayment of any credit or indebtedness to the Company
or its Affiliates), if the Company authorizes the issuance or sale of any Voting
Shares, including options, warrants or rights to acquire Voting Shares or
securities convertible into Voting Shares, (other than as a dividend on the
outstanding Voting Shares) to any Person, the Company shall first offer to sell
to HIIC and its Affiliates a portion of such securities equal to the quotient
determined by dividing (A) the number of shares of Voting Shares held by HIIC
and its Affiliates at the time of the proposed issuance of such securities, on a
fully diluted basis, by (B) the total number of outstanding shares of Voting
Shares outstanding at such time, on a fully diluted basis. The exception set
forth in clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of this Section 8(a) shall not
apply to any issuance of securities of the Company in a transaction of the type
set forth in clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, to the extent, and solely to
the extent, any such individual issuance would result in the aggregate
ownership, on a fully diluted basis, of Voting Shares by HIIC and its Affiliates
being less than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding Voting Shares of the
Company, on a fully diluted basis; provided, however, in the event a valuation
of the securities of the Company being issued in such transaction is required in
connection with the exercise of the preemptive rights hereunder, HIIC and its
Affiliates shall retain and be solely responsible for the payment of all fees
and expenses of the investment bank or valuation firm hired to conduct such
valuation and any such investment bank or valuation firm shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Company. If such securities are being offered in a manner such
that each offeree purchasing such stock or securities is required to purchase a
"strip" or more than one type of stock and/or securities, HIIC shall likewise be
required to purchase each of the shares of stock and/or securities included in
the strip if any are purchased.
(b) Procedure. In order to exercise its purchase rights under this
Section 8, HIIC and its Affiliates shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt
of written notice from the Company describing in reasonable detail the
securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and its
percentage allotment, deliver a written notice to the Company describing its
election hereunder. During the ninety (90) days following the expiration of the
fifteen (15) day period described above, the Company shall be entitled to sell
such securities which HIIC and its Affiliates have not elected to purchase on
terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those
offered to HIIC and its Affiliates; provided, if the Company does not sell
within the ninety (90) day period the securities which were the subject of the
notice pursuant this
12
Section 8, it must send another notice and repeat the procedure pursuant to this
Section 8 before it could sell such securities after such ninety (90) day
period.
(c) Termination. The provisions of this Section 8 shall terminate
when HIIC and its Affiliates collectively own less than twenty percent (20%) of
the outstanding Voting Shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis.
(d) Special Preemptive Right. Notwithstanding paragraph (c) above
and in addition to the rights set forth in paragraph (a) above, upon any
conversion of any shares of convertible redeemable preference shares of the
Company issued to B E Aerospace, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("B/EA"), as part
of the issuance of up to three thousand (3,000) shares of convertible redeemable
preference shares of the Company to B/EA which are convertible into Parent
Common Shares at a percentage of the trading price of the Parent Common Shares
as previously disclosed to HIIC, the Company shall issue to HIIC and/or the
Affiliates of HIIC a number of the Company Common Shares upon payment by HIIC of
the par value thereof such that such number of shares plus the number of the
Amalgamation Shares, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares collectively
constitutes the same percentage of the outstanding Voting Shares of the Company
on a fully diluted basis as the number of Amalgamation Shares, Conversion Shares
and Warrant Shares constituted of the outstanding Voting Shares of the Company
on a fully diluted basis prior to such issuance.
SECTION 9. Non-Pro Rata Redemptions. HIIC and/or the Affiliates of HIIC
shall have the right for as long as HIIC and the Affiliates of HIIC collectively
own twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding Voting Shares on a fully
diluted basis to participate on a proportionate basis in any non-pro rata stock
repurchases or redemptions of Voting Shares conducted by the Company, other than
repurchases or redemptions in connection with the termination of employment of
any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or pursuant to a
contractual right or obligation of the Company entered into in connection with
the issuance of such Voting Shares.
SECTION 10. Special Sale Obligations/Rights. At any time that HIIC and the
Affiliates of HIIC collectively own less than ten percent (10%) of the
outstanding Voting Shares of the Company, on a fully diluted basis, (i) the
Company shall have the right to cause HIIC and the Affiliates of HIIC to sell
all of their Voting Shares of the Company pursuant to a sale registered under
the Securities Act and (ii) HIIC shall have the right to cause the Company to
file a registration statement under the Securities Act in accordance with the
terms of Section 2 to sell all of its and its Affiliates' Voting Shares of the
Company, in each case of (i) and (ii), in the event (x) of any change in or
conduct of the business or proposed business of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or any other action or inaction of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries which would constitute or result in a Disqualifying Action or (y)
the Company does not redeem a Disqualified Holder pursuant to Bye-law 4B of its
bye-laws, and in each case of (i) and (ii), at the Company's expense (other than
HIIC's and the Affiliates of HIIC underwriting discounts, commissions or
allowances and legal fees and expenses) without being subject to the limitations
set forth in Sections 2(b) and (d) and Section 5.
SECTION 11. Indemnification.
(a) By the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors,
employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such holder or such an other indemnified
Person against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by
(i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to
13
be stated therein or of a fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by and contained in any
information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder for use therein
by the Company or (ii) any violation by the Company of any applicable federal or
state securities laws.
(b) By Holders. In connection with any registration statement in
which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will
furnish to the Company in writing information regarding such holder's ownership
of Registrable Securities and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person who
controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) the
Company or such an other indemnified Person against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including with respect to any claim for
indemnification hereunder asserted by any other indemnified Person) resulting
from (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in
such information so furnished by such holder which is contained in the
registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact omitted from the information so furnished by holder which is required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and is
omitted from the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any violation by such holder of any
applicable federal or state securities laws; provided that the liability of each
such holder of Registrable Securities will be in proportion to and limited to
the net amount received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such registration statement.
(c) Notice. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall
give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such
notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation under this
Section 11, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially
prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice.
(d) Defense of Actions. In any case in which any such action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an 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 party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall
continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in
question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party
hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof (unless such
indemnified party presents a written legal opinion of counsel to the effect that
there are defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from
or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party, in which
event the indemnified party shall be reimbursed by the indemnifying party for
the expenses incurred in connection with retaining separate legal counsel;
provided that the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to reimburse the
indemnified parties for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all
indemnified parties who do not have different or additional defenses among
themselves). An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an
action or claim effected without its consent. The indemnifying party shall lose
its right to defend, contest, litigate and settle a matter if it shall fail to
diligently contest such matter (except to the extent settled in accordance with
the next following sentence). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying
party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld).
14
(e) Survival. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of the indemnified Person and will survive the transfer of the
Registrable Securities.
(f) Contribution. If recovery is not available under the foregoing
indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified
therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the
terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses with respect to which such
Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons.
In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective Persons are
entitled, there shall be considered the Persons' relative knowledge and access
to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was
asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and
other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby
agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such
contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. The liability
of each holder of Registrable Securities will be in proportion to and limited to
the net amount received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such registration statement. No party shall be entitled to
contribution hereunder if such party is found guilty of having committed
fraudulent misrepresentation except insofar as the same is caused by a
fraudulent misrepresentation by any holder of Registrable Securities for use
therein by the Company.
SECTION 12. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may
participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (a)
agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Rule 144. The Company shall timely file the reports, if any,
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
(including, if required, the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange
Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144). Upon the request of any
holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall: (i) deliver to such holder
a written statement as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule
144, as such rule may be amended from time to time, and (ii) take such further
action, including, without limitation, supply and make publicly available any
other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Company,
with the purpose of allowing such holder to avail itself of Rule 144 or any
other rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell securities
without registration under the Securities Act.
(b) Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein,
the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived and the Company may
take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to
be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of
HIIC. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision
of this Agreement or of any further breach of the provision so waived or of any
other provision of this Agreement. No extension of time for the performance of
any obligation or act hereunder shall be deemed an extension of time for the
performance of any other obligation or act. The waiver by any party of any of
the conditions precedent to its obligations under this Agreement shall not
preclude it from seeking redress for breach of this Agreement.
15
(c) Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this
Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto will bind and inure to
the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto
whether so expressed or not. In addition, whether or not any express assignment
has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of
purchasers or holders of Registrable Securities are also for the benefit of, and
enforceable by, any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities; provided that
securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities under the circumstances
provided in Section 1(z).
(d) Remedies. If any party to this Agreement obtains a judgment
against any other party hereto by reason of any breach of this Agreement or the
failure of such other party to comply with the provisions hereof, reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs shall be included in such judgment.
(e) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited
by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall continue to be binding and in full force and effect.
(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be effective only upon delivery and thereafter
shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall be taken to be one and
the same instrument with the same effect as if each of the parties hereto had
signed the same signature page. Any signature page of this Agreement may be
detached from any counterpart of this Agreement without impairing the legal
effect of any signature thereon and may be attached to another counterpart of
this Agreement identical in form hereto and having attached to it one or more
additional signature pages.
(g) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize
or interpret any provision of this Agreement.
(h) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction,
validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules
hereto will be governed by the internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of
Bermuda.

or permitted to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of
