as an "Investor" and, collectively, as the "Investors".
A. The Company and the Investors are parties to (i) that certain Agreement
dated the date hereof (the "Xxxxxxx/Huntingdon Agreement"), pursuant to which

rights under the Warrant Registration Rights Agreement to purchasers of shares
of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
Warrants sold by the Investors.
B. The Company is a party to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement
dated the date hereof (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") between the Company
and the investors set forth on the signature page thereto (the "Preferred Stock
Investors"), pursuant to which the Company has sold certain securities to the
Preferred Stock Investors. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
C. In order to induce each Investor to enter into the Xxxxxxx/Huntingdon
Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and under
applicable state securities laws.
In consideration of each Investor entering into the Xxxxxxx/Huntingdon
Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
meanings specified:
"Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a
day on which the Commission or commercial banks located in New York City are
authorized or permitted by law to close.
"Commission" means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"Effective Date" means the date on which the Registration Statement
is declared effective by the Commission.
"Filing Deadline" means May 1, 2005.
"Holder" means the holder of Registrable Securities.
"Registrable Securities" means the Conversion Shares and any shares
of capital stock issued or issuable from time to time (with any adjustments) in
replacement of, in exchange for or otherwise in respect of such Conversion
Shares; provided, however, that any such shares shall cease to be Registrable
Securities at such time as they may be sold by the Holder without registration
under Rule 144(k) without limitation as to volume.
"Registration Deadline" means the ninetieth (90th) calendar day
following the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the staff of the
Commission undertakes a full review (or a full accounting review) of the
Registration Statement, or if the Commission takes the position that offering by
the Holders does not meet the eligibility requirements for filing a Registration
Statement on Form S-3, then in either such case the Registration Deadline shall
be the one hundred and twentieth (120th) calendar day following the Closing
Date.
"Registration Period" has the meaning set forth in paragraph 2(b)
below.
"Registration Statement" means a registration statement or
statements prepared in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act ("Rule 415") or any successor rule providing for
the offering of securities on a continuous or delayed basis.
2. REGISTRATION.
(a) Registration Statement. On or before the Filing Deadline, the Company
shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act covering the resale of a number of
shares of Registrable Securities equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%)
of the aggregate number of Conversion Shares. Such Registration Statement shall
state, to the extent permitted by Rule 416 under the Securities Act, that it
also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock in
order to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or
similar events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or the offering by
the Holders does not meet the eligibility requirements for filing a Registration
Statement on Form S-3, the Company shall instead prepare and file with the
Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or Form S-2 and, in such event,
the Company shall, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than thirty
(30) days) after the Company or the offering by the Holders, as the case may be,
meets the eligibility requirements to use Form S-3 for the resale of Registrable
Securities by each Holder, re-file such Registration Statement, or file a new
Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering at least the number of shares then
registered on the existing Registration Statement (and not previously sold
pursuant to the existing Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act ("Rule 144")).
2
(b) Effectiveness. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the
filing thereof, but in no event later than the Registration Deadline. The
Company shall respond promptly to any and all comments made by the staff of the
Commission on the Registration Statement, and shall submit to the Commission,
within three (3) Business Days after the Company learns that no review of the
Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the Commission or that the
staff of the Commission has no further comments on the Registration Statement
(or, if the Company would be required to include financial statements more
current than those included in its filing with the Commission, three (3)
Business Days after the date on which the Company is required to file an annual
report on Form 10-K (or Form 10-KSB) or quarterly report on form 10-Q (or Form
10-QSB), as the case may be, including such updated financial statements, after
permitted extension if a Form 12b-25 is timely filed), as the case may be, a
request for acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to a
time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such
request. The Company will maintain the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which all of the
Registrable Securities eligible for resale thereunder have been publicly sold
pursuant to either the Registration Statement or Rule 144 and (ii) the date on
which all of the Registrable Securities remaining to be sold under the
Registration Statement (in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company) may
be immediately sold to the public under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or
any successor provision ("Rule 144(k)") (the period beginning on the Closing
Date and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) or (ii) above being referred to
herein as the "Registration Period").
(c) Registration Default. If (i) the Registration Statement is not filed
on or before the Filing Deadline or declared effective by the Commission on or
before the Registration Deadline, (ii) after the Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the Commission, sales of Registrable Securities cannot be
made by a Holder under the Registration Statement for any reason not within the
exclusive control of such Holder (other than such Registrable Securities as are
then freely saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k)); provided, that the failure of the
Registration Statement to remain effective after the two (2) year anniversary of
its initial effective date thereof if at such time all of the Conversion Shares
are freely saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k), shall not be a deemed to be a
Registration Default hereunder, (iii) the Common Stock ceases to be listed on
the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the New York Stock
Exchange, (iv) the Company fails to submit a request for acceleration within the
time frames required hereby, or (v) an amendment or supplement to the
Registration Statement, or a new registration statement, required to be filed
pursuant to the terms of paragraph 4(k) below is not filed on or before the date
required by such paragraph (each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv)
and (v) being referred to herein as a "Registration Default"), the Company shall
make a cash payment to each Holder equal to such Holder's pro rata share (based
on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder as of the
Registration Default) of $.0084 for each Conversion Share outstanding for each
thirty (30) day period or part thereof in which a Registration Default exists.
Each such payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the last
day of each calendar month in which a Registration Default existed. Any such
payment shall be in addition to any other remedies available to each Holder at
law or in equity, whether pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise.
3
(d) Allocation of Conversion Shares. The initial number of Conversion
Shares included in any Registration Statement and each increase in the number
thereof included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on
the aggregate number of Registrable Securities issuable to each Holder at the
time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable
Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the Commission.
(e) Registration of Other Securities. During the period beginning on the
date hereof and ending on the Effective Date, the Company shall, except as
described in Schedule 3.12 to the Securities Purchase Agreement and with respect
to the Registration Rights Agreement dated the date hereof between the Company
and the Preferred Stock Investors, refrain from filing any registration
statement (other than (i) a Registration Statement filed hereunder, or (ii) a
registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to stock option plans and
agreements and stock plans currently in effect and disclosed in the Securities
Purchase Agreement or the schedules thereto). Other than as specified on such
Schedule 3.12, in no event shall the Company include any securities other than
the Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement filed by the Company on
behalf of the Holders pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.
3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION.
If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period, (i) the
Company proposes to register shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act in
connection with the public offering of such shares for cash (a "Proposed
Registration") other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or
any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes and (ii) a
Registration Statement covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities is
not then effective and available for sales thereof by the Holders, the Company
shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such Proposed
Registration. Each Holder shall have ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of
such notice to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the amount of
Registrable Securities that such Holder intends to sell and such Holder's
intended method of distribution. Upon receipt of such request, the Company shall
use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities which the Company has
been requested to register to be registered under the Securities Act to the
extent necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with
the intended methods of distribution specified in the request of such Holder;
provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw
any registration effected pursuant to this Section 3 without obligation to the
Holders. If, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account
of the Company or for stockholders of the Company that have contractual rights
to require the Company to register shares of Common Stock, the managing
underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of
Common Stock which may be included in a registration statement because, in the
judgment of such underwriter(s), marketing or other factors dictate such
limitation is necessary to facilitate such offering, then, after inclusion of
shares as to which the Company is as of the date hereof contractually obligated
to register the Company shall be obligated to include in the registration
statement, on a pro rata basis with other holders of registration rights
outstanding prior to the date hereof, only such limited portion of the
Registrable Securities with respect to which each Holder has requested inclusion
hereunder as such underwriter(s) shall permit. Any exclusion of Registrable
Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders seeking to include
Registrable Securities in a registration statement, in proportion to the number
of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Holders; provided,
however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless
the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which
are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in the registration statement
or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and
provided, further, that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding
proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with
holders of other securities having the right to include such securities in the
registration statement.
4
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
In addition to performing its obligations hereunder, including without
limitation those pursuant to Section 2 above, the Company shall, with respect to
the Registration Statement:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements
to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act or to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
during the Registration Period, or as may be reasonably requested by a Holder in
order to incorporate information concerning such Holder or such Holder's
intended method of distribution;
(b) promptly following the Closing, secure the listing of all Registrable
Securities on the Nasdaq National Market System or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
(if that is the Principal Market) and provide each Holder with reasonable
evidence thereof;
(c) furnish to each Holder such number of copies of the prospectus
included in the Registration Statement, including a preliminary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents
as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
such Holder's Registrable Securities;
(d) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as shall be reasonably requested from
time to time by a Holder, and do any and all other acts or things which may be
necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the public sale and
re-sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities in such
jurisdictions; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a
general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or to subject
itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction;
(e) in the event of an underwritten public offering of the Registrable
Securities, enter into (together with all Holders proposing to distribute
Registrable Securities through such underwriting) and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form reasonably
acceptable to the Company, with the managing underwriter of such offering;
(f) notify each Holder immediately after becoming aware of the occurrence
of any event (but shall not, without the prior written consent of such Holder,
disclose to such Holder any facts or circumstances constituting material
non-public information) as a result of which the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement, as then in effect, contains an untrue statement of
material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing, and as promptly as practicable prepare and file
with the Commission and furnish to each Holder a reasonable number of copies of
a supplement or an amendment to such prospectus as may be necessary so that such
prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
5
(g) use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any
stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at
the earliest possible time and to notify each Holder of the issuance of such
order and the resolution thereof;
(h) furnish to each Holder, on the date that the Registration Statement,
or any successor registration statement, becomes effective, a letter, dated such
date, of outside counsel representing the Company (and reasonably acceptable to
such Holder) addressed to such Holder, confirming such effectiveness and, to the
knowledge of such counsel, the absence of any stop order;
(i) provide to each Holder and its representatives the reasonable
opportunity to conduct a reasonable inquiry of the Company's financial and other
records during normal business hours and make available its officers, directors
and employees for questions regarding information which such Holder may
reasonably request in order to fulfill any due diligence obligation on its part,
subject, however, to the execution and delivery to the Company by such Holder of
a customary non-disclosure agreement and provided that the Company shall not
disclose any material non-public information to such Holder absent such Holder's
written request therefor;
(j) permit counsel for each Holder, at such Holder's expense, to review
the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, and any
comments made by the staff of the Commission concerning such Holder and/or the
transactions contemplated by the Xxxxxxx/Huntingdon Agreement and the Company's
responses thereto, within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing
thereof with the Commission (or, in the case of comments made by the staff of
the Commission, within a reasonable period of time following the receipt thereof
by the Company);
(k) hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information
concerning an Investor provided to the Company if at the time such information
is provided the Company is notified of the confidential nature of such
information 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 that includes such Investor's Registrable Securities, (iii) the
release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, (iv) such
information has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement, or (v) such Investor
consents to the form and content of any such disclosure. The Company shall, upon
learning that disclosure of any information concerning an Investor is sought in
or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other
means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior to making such disclosure, and
cooperate with the Investor, at the Investor's expense, in taking appropriate
action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such
information;
6
(l) provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity,
for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the
Registration Statement; and
(m) comply with all applicable laws related to a 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 Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
promulgated by the Commission).
5. OBLIGATIONS OF EACH HOLDER.
In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to
a Registration Statement, each Holder shall:
(a) timely furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding
itself and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities as
the Company shall reasonably request in order to effect the registration
thereof;
(b) upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in paragraphs 4(f) or 4(g), immediately discontinue
any sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement until the filing of an amendment or supplement as
described in paragraph 4(f) or withdrawal of the stop order referred to in
paragraph 4(g), and use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the
confidentiality of such notice and its contents;
(c) in the event of an underwritten offering of such Registrable
Securities in which such Holder participates, enter into a customary and
reasonable underwriting agreement and execute such other documents as the
Company and/or the managing underwriter for such offering may reasonably
request;
(d) to the extent required by applicable law, deliver a prospectus to the
purchaser of such Registrable Securities;
(e) notify the Company when it has sold all of the Registrable Securities
held by it; and
(f) notify the Company in the event that any information supplied by such
Holder in writing for inclusion in such Registration Statement or related
prospectus is untrue or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing; immediately discontinue any sale or other
disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement until the filing of an amendment or supplement to such prospectus as
may be necessary so that such prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing; and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist
the Company as may be appropriate to make such amendment or supplement effective
for such purpose.
7
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, employees, agents and
representatives of such Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such
Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (collectively, the "Holder Indemnified
Parties"), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses (whether joint or several) (collectively, including legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or
defending same, "Losses"), insofar as any such Losses arise out of or are based
upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in such Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto,
or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Subject
to the provisions of paragraph 6(c) below, the Company will reimburse such
Holder, and each such officer, director, employee, agent, representative or
controlling person, for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses as reasonably
incurred by any such entity or person in connection with investigating or
defending any Loss; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Loss if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), nor shall the Company be obligated to indemnify any person for any
Loss to the extent that such Loss (i) is based upon and is in conformity with
written information furnished by such person expressly for use in such
Registration Statement, (ii) is based on a failure of such person to deliver or
cause to be delivered the final prospectus contained in the Registration
Statement and made available by the Company, if such delivery is required by
applicable law, or (iii) relates to the sale of shares by such Holder after the
Company has notified such Holder that an event described in Section 4(f) has
occurred and has not yet provided the Holder with a supplemental or new
prospectus for delivery. The Company shall not enter into any settlement of a
Loss that does not provide for the unconditional release of such Holder from all
liabilities and obligations relating to such Loss.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder who is named in such
Registration Statement as a selling stockholder, acting severally and not
jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors,
employees, agents and representatives of the Company, and each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, against any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) that any
such Losses (i) are based upon and in conformity with written information
furnished by such Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement, (ii)
are based on a failure of such Holder to deliver or cause to be delivered the
final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and made available by
the Company, if such delivery is required by applicable law, or (iii) relate to
the sale of shares by such Holder after the Company has notified such Holder
that an event described in Section 4(f) has occurred and has not yet provided
the Holder with a supplemental or new prospectus for delivery. Subject to the
provisions of paragraph 6(c) below, such Holder will reimburse any legal or
other expenses as reasonably incurred by the Company and any such officer,
director, employee, agent, representative, or controlling person, in connection
with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that the
foregoing indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that in no
event shall any indemnity under this paragraph 6(b) exceed the net proceeds
resulting from the sale of the Registrable Securities sold by such Holder under
such Registration Statement.
8
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of
notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action),
such indemnified party will, 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 assume the defense thereof with counsel
mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified
party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the reasonably
incurred fees and expenses of one such counsel for all indemnified parties to be
paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by
the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential
conflicting interests between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of
any such action, to the extent prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,
shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party
under this Section 6 with respect to such action, but the omission so to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability
that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6 or
with respect to any other action unless the indemnifying party is materially
prejudiced as a result of not receiving such notice.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of
this Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party for any reason, the Company and each Holder agree, severally and not
jointly, to contribute to the aggregate Losses to which the Company or such
Holder may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Company and such Holder in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case
shall such Holder be responsible for any amount in excess of the net proceeds
resulting from the sale of the Registrable Securities sold by it under the
Registration Statement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to
whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided
by the Company or by such Holder. The Company and each Holder agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata
allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls a
Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and
each officer, director, employee, agent or representative of such Holder shall
have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who
controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act and each officer, director, employee, agent or representative of
the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject
in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
9
(e) The obligations of the Company and each Holder under this Section 6
shall survive the conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants
in full, the completion of any offering or sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration Statement under this Agreement, or otherwise.
7. REPORTS.
With a view to making available to each Holder the benefits of Rule 144
and any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time
permit such Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration, the Company agrees (until all of the Registrable Securities have
been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144) to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under Section 13 of the Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to such Holder, so long as such Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, promptly upon written request (i) a written statement by the
Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule
144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) to the extent not publicly
available through the Commission's XXXXX database, a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents
so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably
requested by such Holder in connection with such Holder's compliance with any
rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such
securities without registration.
8. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses, other than
underwriting discounts and commissions and fees and expenses of counsel and
other advisors to each Holder, incurred in connection with the registrations,
filings or qualifications described herein, including (without limitation) all
registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, the
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the fees and
disbursements incurred in connection with the opinion and letter described in
paragraph 4(h) hereof, shall be borne by the Company.
(b) Amendment; Waiver. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this
Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended or waived except pursuant to a
written instrument executed by the Company and the Holders of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected
in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each Holder, each future
Holder and the Company. The failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy
under this Agreement or otherwise, or the delay by any party in exercising such
right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
10
(c) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be
given by the Company or a Holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall
be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by
verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is
not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the
next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely
