hereto. The designation, rights, preferences and other terms and provisions of
the Series B Preferred Stock are set forth in the Articles of Amendment attached

respects and fairly present the financial condition of the Company and the
Subsidiaries at such dates and the results of the operations of the Company and
the Subsidiaries for the periods covered by such statements, all in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied.
(b) The projections (including, without limitation, the financial
projections attached as Schedule 2.06(b)) and pro forma financial information
furnished to the Purchasers are based on good faith estimates and assumptions by
the management of the Company, it being recognized by the Purchasers, however,
that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as fact and that
actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may
differ from the projected results and that the differences may be material.
2.07. Liabilities. Since February 29, 1996, neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has incurred any material liabilities, obligations, claims or losses
(whether liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, absolute, accrued,
contingent or
5
otherwise) that would be required to be disclosed on a consolidated balance
sheet of the Company and the Subsidiaries (including the notes thereto) in
conformity with GAAP, other than in the ordinary course of business.
2.08. Indebtedness. Schedule 2.08 sets forth all outstanding secured and
unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the
Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
2.09. Title to Assets. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has good
and marketable title to all of its real and personal property reflected in the
financial statements referred to in Section 2.06, free of any mortgages,
pledges, charges, liens, security interests or other encumbrances, except those
indicated on Schedule 2.09. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries enjoys
peaceful and undisturbed possession under all leases under which it is
operating, and all said leases are valid and subsisting and in full force and
effect.
2.10. Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or
proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the
Company or any Subsidiary which questions the validity of this Agreement or any
of the Related Agreements or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or
thereto. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.10, there is no action, suit, claim,
investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened, against or involving the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their
respective properties or assets. There are no outstanding orders, judgments,
injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or
regulatory body against the Company or any Subsidiary.
2.11. Compliance with Law. The business of the Company and the
Subsidiaries has been and is presently being conducted so as to comply with all
applicable federal, state, and local governmental laws, rules, regulations and
ordinances (including, without limitation, all rules and regulations pertaining
to the producing, processing, underwriting, selling and servicing of residential
mortgage loans, loan brokerage operations and the sale of "business
opportunities"). Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has all franchises,
permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations
and approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted
by it.
2.12. Taxes. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has accurately
prepared and timely filed all federal, state and other tax returns required by
law to be filed by it, has paid or made provisions for the payment of all taxes
shown to be due and all additional assessments, and adequate provisions have
been and are reflected in the financial statements of the Company and the
Subsidiaries for all current taxes and other charges to which the Company or any
Subsidiary is subject and which are not currently due and payable. The Company
knows of no additional assessments, adjustments or contingent tax liability
(whether federal or state) pending or threatened
6
against the Company or any Subsidiary for any period, nor of any basis for any
such assessment, adjustment or contingency.
2.13. ERISA. Schedule 2.13 lists each "employee benefit plan", as defined
in Section 3(3) of ERISA, and any other bonus, severance or termination pay,
stock option or stock purchase, incentive pay or other plan, program or
arrangement covering present or former employees of the Company or any
Subsidiary which is maintained or contributed to by the Company or any
Subsidiary (the "Plans"). None of the Plans is subject to the provisions of
Title IV of ERISA, and none of the Plans is a Multiemployer Plan as defined in
Section 3(37) of ERISA (a "Multiemployer Plan"). Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has incurred any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation or has incurred any liability with respect to a Multiemployer Plan.
None of the Plans is subject to the minimum funding standards set forth in
Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. None of the Company, any
Subsidiary or any of their respective officers or employees has engaged in a
"prohibited transaction" as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code with respect to any Plan which would subject any of such parties to a
civil penalty under Section 502(i) of ERISA or an excise tax under Section 4975
of the Code. Each of the Plans has been operated in all material respects in
accordance with applicable law, including ERISA and the Code. None of the Plans
is an employee welfare plan, as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, which provides
health or life insurance benefits to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary
following their retirement. Each Plan that is intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code has received a determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service indicating that such Plan was so qualified as at the time of its
review, and the Company knows of no reason that would cause such letter to be
revoked.
2.14. No Material Adverse Change. Since February 29, 1996, (a) there has
been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, affairs,
prospects or financial condition of the Company or any Subsidiary; and (b)
neither the business, financial condition, operation, prospects or affairs of
the Company, any Subsidiary nor any of their respective properties or assets
have been adversely affected in any material respect as the result of any
legislative or regulatory change, any revocation or change in any franchise,
permit, license or right to do business, or any other event or occurrence,
whether or not insured against.
2.15. Certain Fees. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.15, no broker's,
finder's or financial advisory fees or commissions will be payable by the
Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Related Agreements.
2.16. Disclosure. Neither this Agreement or the Schedules hereto, any of
the Related Agreements, the Business Plan nor any other document, certificate or
instrument furnished to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the
Related Agreements, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a
7
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or
therein not misleading. The parties further agree that any agreement, event,
condition or other item which is disclosed on a particular Schedule hereto shall
be deemed to be disclosed for the purposes of all other Schedules to which it is
relevant, provided that all of the terms or effects of any such item which are
relevant to any Schedule hereto are adequately disclosed.
2.17. Proprietary Rights. Schedule 2.17 contains a complete and accurate
list of (a) all patented and registered Proprietary Rights owned by the Company
or any Subsidiary, (b) all pending trademark applications and applications for
registrations of other Proprietary Rights filed by the Company or any
Subsidiary, (c) all unregistered trade names and corporate names owned or used
by the Company or any Subsidiary and (d) all unregistered trademarks, service
marks and copyrights and computer software owned or used by the Company or any
Subsidiary. Schedule 2.17 also contains a complete and accurate list of all
licenses and other rights granted by the Company or any Subsidiary to any third
party with respect to computer software owned by the Company and any other
Proprietary Rights and all licenses and other rights granted by any third party
to the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to computer software or other
Proprietary Rights, together with a short description of such licenses. Each of
the Company and the Subsidiaries owns or has the right to use pursuant to a
valid and enforceable license all Proprietary Rights necessary for the operation
of its business. No loss or expiration of any Proprietary right owned or used by
the Company or any Subsidiary is pending or, to the best of the Company's
knowledge, threatened. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has taken all
necessary actions to maintain and protect the Proprietary Rights which it owns
or uses. The Company has no knowledge that the owners of any Proprietary Rights
licensed to the Company or any Subsidiary have not taken all necessary actions
to maintain and protect the Proprietary Rights which are subject to such
licenses. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.17, (i) there are no material claims

Rights") to waive any priority they may otherwise have over the Purchasers to
include any securities held by them in such Registration or (b) enter into an
agreement with any Person which grants Registration Rights to such Person unless

forth in Section 7.01(e) and Section 7.02(b).
6.12. Existing Subordinated Indebtedness. (a) Defease or make any payments

7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS
The Purchasers shall have the right to register their Registrable
Securities in accordance with the following provisions:
7.01. Demand Registrations.
(a) At any time and from time to time commencing on the earlier of (i) the
fifth anniversary of the Funding Date, and (ii) the date which is six months
after the Initial Public Offering, upon the written request of the Holders of at
least 50% of the Registrable Securities (the "Initiating Holders") that the
Company effect the Registration under the Securities Act (such a written request
being hereinafter referred to as a "Demand Registration") of any of the
Registrable Securities, the Company will promptly give written notice to all
other Holders of Registrable Securities that a Demand Registration has been
received. For a period of 20 days following delivery of such notice, the other
Holders of Registrable Securities may request that the Company also register
their Registrable Securities and after the expiration of such 20 day period, the
Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities of the number of
Registrable Securities to be registered. Thereupon, the Company will use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the prompt Registration under the Securities
Act, subject to the provisions of this Section 7, of all Registrable Securities
which the Holders thereof have requested the Company to register, and in
connection therewith, prepare and file on such appropriate form as the Company,
in its reasonable discretion, shall determine, a Registration Statement under
the Securities Act to effect such Registration.
With respect to any Registration Statement filed, or to be filed, pursuant
to this Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.03 below, if the Company shall furnish to
the Holders of Registrable Securities a certified resolution of the Board of
Directors stating that in the Board of Directors' good faith judgment it would
(because of the existence of, or in anticipation of, any acquisition or
financing, merger, sale of assets, recapitalization or other similar corporate
activity, or the unavailability for reasons beyond the Company's control of any
required audited financial statements, or any other event or condition of
similar significance to the Company) be materially disadvantageous (a
"Disadvantageous Condition") to the Company or its stockholders for such a
Registration Statement to be maintained Effective, or to be filed and become
Effective, and setting forth the general reasons for such judgment, the Company
shall be entitled to cause such Registration Statement to be withdrawn and the
effectiveness of such Registration Statement terminated, or, in the event no
Registration Statement has yet been filed, shall be entitled not to file any
such Registration Statement, until such Disadvantageous Condition no longer
exists (notice of which the Company shall promptly deliver to all Holders of
Registrable Securities); provided that the Company shall be entitled to withdraw
or delay the filing of a Registration Statement in connection with a
Disadvantageous Condition only once during any twelve month period. Upon receipt
of any such notice of a Disadvantageous Condition, such Holders of Registrable
Securities will forthwith
24
discontinue use of the disclosure document contained in such Registration
Statement and, if so directed by the Company, each such Holder will deliver to
the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder's
possession, of the disclosure document then covering such Registrable Securities
current at the time of receipt of such notice, and, in the event no Registration
Statement has yet been filed, all drafts of the disclosure document covering
such Registrable Securities. In the event that the Company shall give any notice
of a Disadvantageous Condition, the Company shall at such time as it in good
xxxxx xxxxx appropriate file a new Registration Statement covering the
Registrable Securities that were covered by such withdrawn Registration
Statement, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to file such new
Registration Statement within 90 days of receipt of the resolution by the
Holders of Registrable Securities, and such Registration Statement shall be
maintained Effective for such time as may be necessary so that the period of
effectiveness of such new Registration Statement, when aggregated with the
period during which such initial Registration Statement was Effective, shall be
such time as may be otherwise required by Section 7.01(c).
The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be
registered may, at any time prior to the Effective Date of the Registration
Statement relating to such Registration, revoke such request, without liability
to any of the other Holders of Registrable Securities, by providing a written
notice to the Company revoking such request.
(b) Number of Registrations: Expenses. The Company shall not be obligated
to effect more than two Registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to
requests from the Holders of Registrable Securities under this Section 7.01
during the term of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with the two Registrations which the Holders of
Registrable Securities are entitled to request pursuant to this Section 7.01.
However, each Holder of Registrable Securities shall pay all underwriting
discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or
disposition of such Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section
7.01. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Section 7.01, the
Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to
an Effective Registration Statement in connection with a request for such
Registration made in accordance with this Section 7.01 if any previous
Registration Statement became Effective less than 180 days prior to such
request.
(c) Effective Registration Statement. A Registration requested pursuant to
this Section 7.01 shall not be deemed to have been effected unless the
Registration Statement relating thereto (i) has become Effective under the
Securities Act and all of the Registrable Securities of the Holders thereof
included in such Registration have actually been sold thereunder, and (ii) has
remained Effective for a period of at least 180 days (or such shorter period in
which all Registrable Securities included in such Registration have actually
been sold thereunder); provided, however, that if any Effective Registration
Statement requested pursuant to this Section 7.01
25
is discontinued in connection with a Disadvantageous Condition, such
Registration Statement shall not be included as one of the Registrations which
may be requested pursuant to this Section 7.01; provided further, that if after
any Registration Statement requested pursuant to this Section 7.01 becomes
Effective (x) such Registration Statement is subject to any stop order,
injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental
agency or court solely due to the actions or omissions to act of the Company or
(y) less than 100% of all of the Registrable Securities included in such
Registration have been sold thereunder, such Registration Statement shall not be
included as one of the Registrations which such Holders of Registrable
Securities are entitled to request pursuant to Section 7.01(b).
(d) Selection of Underwriters. If any requested Registration pursuant to
this Section 7.01 is in the form of an underwritten offering, the Company shall
have the right to select the investment banker and manager or co-managers that
will administer the offering, subject to the approval of the Holders holding a
majority of the Registrable Securities in respect of which Registration has been
requested.
(e) Priority in Requested Registrations. If a requested Registration
pursuant to this Section 7.01 involves an underwritten offering and the managing
underwriter shall advise the Company that, in its view, the number of equity
securities requested to be included in such Registration exceeds the largest
number of securities which can be sold without having an adverse effect on such
offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, the Company
will include in such Registration (i) first, Registrable Securities proposed to
be registered by Holders thereof, pro rata based on the number of securities
proposed to be registered by each such Holder and (ii) second, securities that
the Company proposes to issue and sell for its own account and all other
securities proposed to be registered by the Holders thereof, pro rata based on
the number of securities proposed to be registered by each such Person;
provided, however, that if in any such underwritten offering the Company
includes in such Registration Statement less than 100% of the Registrable
Securities requested to be included therein by any Holder thereof, then such
Registration Statement shall not be included as one of the Registrations which
the Holders of Registrable Securities are entitled to request pursuant to
Section 7.01(b).
7.02. Incidental Registration.
(a) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its equity
securities under the Securities Act (other than a Registration (i) relating to
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of employee stock options or in
connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company, (ii) in
connection with an acquisition by the Company of another company, or (iii)
pursuant to Section 7.01) in a manner which would permit Registration of
Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it shall
each such time, subject to the provisions of Section 7.02(b), give prompt
written notice to all Holders of record of Registrable Securities of its
intention to do so and of such Holders' rights under this Section 7.02, at least
20 days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement
26
relating to such Registration. Such notice shall offer all such Holders the
opportunity to include in such Registration Statement such number of Registrable
Securities as each such Holder may request. Upon the written request of any such
Holder made within 10 days after the receipt of the Company's notice (which
request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be
disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof), the
Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the Registration under
the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so
requested to register by the Holders thereof; provided, that (x) if such
Registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders of Registrable
Securities requesting to be included in the Company's Registration must sell
their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the
same terms and conditions as apply to the Company; and (y) if, at any time after
giving written notice of its intention to register any securities pursuant to
this Section 7.02(a) and prior to the Effective Date of the Registration
Statement filed in connection with such Registration, the Company shall
determine for any reason not to register such securities, the Company shall give
written notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities and shall thereupon be
relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection
with such Registration (without prejudice, however, to rights of the Holders of
Registrable Securities under Section 7.01). If a Registration pursuant to this
Section 7.02(a) involves an underwritten public offering, any Holder of
Registrable Securities requesting to be included in such Registration may elect,
in writing prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement filed in
connection with such Registration, not to register such Registrable Securities
in connection with such Registration. No Registration effected under this
Section 7.02 shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect
Registrations upon request under Section 7.01 or Section 7.03. The Company shall
pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each Registration of
Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 7.02. However, each
Holder of Registrable Securities shall pay all underwriting discounts and
commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of
such Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
effected pursuant to this Section 7.02.
(b) Priority in Incidental Registrations. If a Registration pursuant to
this Section 7.02 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter
advises the Company that, in its good faith view, the number of equity
securities (including all Registrable Securities) which the Company, the Holders
of Registrable Securities and any other persons intend to include in such
Registration exceeds the largest number of securities which can be sold without
having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such
Registrable Securities can be sold, the Company will include in such
Registration (i) first, securities that the Company proposes to issue and sell
for its own account, (ii) second, Registrable Securities proposed to be
registered by the Holders thereof and the Special Preferred Holders, pro rata
based on the number of securities proposed to be registered by each such Person
and (iii) third, all other securities proposed to be registered by the Holders
thereof, pro rata based on the number of securities proposed to be registered by
each such Person.
27
7.03. Registrations on Form S-3. In addition to the rights provided the
Holders of Registrable Securities in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, if the
registration of Registrable Securities under the Securities Act can be effected
on Form S-3 (or any similar form promulgated by the Commission), then upon the
written request of the Initiating Holders, the Company will so notify each
Holder of Registrable Securities, including each Holder who has a right to
acquire Registrable Securities, and then will, as expeditiously as possible, use
its reasonable best efforts to effect qualification and registration under the
Securities Act on Form S-3 of all or such portion of the Registrable Securities
as the Holder or Holders shall specify; provided, however, the Company shall not
be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 7.03 unless the
market value of the Registrable Securities to be sold in any such Registration
shall be estimated to be at least $5,000,000 at the time of filing such
Registration Statement; and further provided that the Company shall not be
required to effect more than one Registration under this Section 7.03 during any
twelve (12) month period. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with each Registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant
to this Section 7.03. However, each Holder of Registrable Securities shall pay
all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating
to the sale or disposition of such Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Registration Statement effected pursuant to this Section 7.03.
7.04. Holdback Agreements.
(a) If any Registration of Registrable Securities shall be in connection
with an underwritten public offering, each Holder of Registrable Securities
agrees not to effect any sale or distribution, including any private placement
or any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor provision, under the
Securities Act, of any Registrable Securities, and not to effect any such sale
or distribution of any other equity security of the Company or of any security
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the
Company (in each case, other than as part of such underwritten public offering)
during the seven days prior to, and during the 90 day period which begins on the
Effective Date of such Registration Statement (except as part of such
Registration) provided that each Holder of Registrable Securities has received
written notice of such Registration at least two Business Days prior to the
anticipated beginning of the seven day period referred to above.
(b) If any Registration of Registrable Securities shall be in connection
with an underwritten public offering, the Company agrees (i) not to effect any
sale or distribution of any of its equity securities or of any security
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity security of the
Company (other than any such sale or distribution of such securities in
connection with any merger or consolidation by the Company or any Affiliate or
the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company of the capital
stock or substantially all the assets of any other Person or in connection with
an employee stock ownership or other benefit plan) during the seven days prior
to, and during the 90 day period which begins on, the Effective Date of such
Registration Statement (except as part of such Registration)
28
and (ii) that any agreement entered into after the date hereof pursuant to which
the Company issues or agrees to issue any privately placed equity securities
shall contain a provision under which the Holders of such securities agree not
to effect any sale or distribution of any such securities during the period
referred to in the foregoing clause (i), including any sale pursuant to Rule
144, or any successor provision, under the Securities Act (except as part of
such Registration, if permitted).
7.05. Registration Procedures. In connection with any offering of
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 7, the Company shall:
(a) Prepare and file with the Commission within 90 days after receipt of a
request for Registration, a Registration Statement on any form for which the
Company then qualifies and which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate,
and which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof, and use its
reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and
remain Effective as provided herein, provided that before filing with the
Commission a Registration Statement or disclosure document constituting part of
a Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company
will (x) furnish to one counsel selected by the Holders of a majority of the
Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed for said counsel's review and comment and (y)
notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission and take all
reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove
it if entered.
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to
such Registration Statement and any disclosure document constituting part of
such Registration Statement used in connection therewith as may be necessary to
keep Effective such Registration Statement for a period of not less than nine
months (or one year in the case of a Registration pursuant to Section 7.03) or
such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement have been sold (but not before the expiration of
the 90 day period, if applicable, referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities
Act and Rule 174 under the Securities Act, or any successor thereto, if
applicable), and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement
during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the
sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement.
(c) Furnish to each Holder and each underwriter, if any, of Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement such number of copies of such
Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case
including all exhibits thereto), and the disclosure document included in such
Registration Statement (including each preliminary disclosure document), in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents
as any Holder
29
of Registrable Securities may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder.
(d) Use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities
under such other state securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as
any Holder, and underwriter, if any, of Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and
things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder and
each underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of
the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided that the Company will
not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section
7.05(d), (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent
to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.
(e) Use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by
such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other
governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the
business and operations of the Company to enable the Holder or Holders thereof
to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
(f) Immediately notify each Holder of such Registrable Securities at any
time when a disclosure document relating thereto is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act of the happening of any event which comes to the
Company's attention if as a result of such event the disclosure document
included in such Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly prepare
and furnish to such Holder a supplement or amendment to such disclosure document
so that, as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such Registrable Securities,
such disclosure document will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading.
(g) Use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable
Securities to be listed on a national securities exchange (including NASDAQ) and
on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company
may then be listed, and enter into such customary agreements including a listing
application and indemnification agreement in customary form, and to provide a
transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement no later than the Effective Date of such Registration
Statement.
(h) Enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting
agreement in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being covered by such Registration
Statement or the underwriters retained by such Holders, if any, reasonably
request in order to
30
expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including
customary representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements.
(i) Make available for inspection by any Holder of Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by any such Holder or underwriter
(collectively, the "Inspectors"), all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, "Records"), if
any, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due
diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's and its Affiliates' officers,
directors and employees to supply all information and respond to all inquiries
reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration
Statement.
(j) Use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a "cold comfort" letter from
the Company's independent public accountants in customary form and covering such
matters of the type customarily covered by "cold comfort" letters as the Holders
of a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably
request.
(k) Otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make available to the Holders of Registrable
Securities, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a
period of at least twelve months, beginning with the first month after the
Effective Date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall
satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
thereunder.
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take
any action with respect to securities of a Holder of Registrable Securities that
such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the
securities held by such Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof as
the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with
the action taken by the Company.
Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any
notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 7.05(f), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended disclosure document contemplated by Section 7.05(f) and,
if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the
Company's expense) all copies (including, without limitation, any and all
drafts), other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder's possession, of
the disclosure document covering such Registrable Securities current at the time
of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice,
the period mentioned in Section 7.05(b) shall be extended by the greater of (x)
three months or (y) the number of days during the period from and including the
date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 7.05(f) to and including
the date when each Holder of Registrable Securities covered
31
by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the
supplemented or amended disclosure document contemplated by Section 7.05(f).
7.06. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. In the event of any Registration of any
securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement,
the Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by
law, each of the Holders of any Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement, their respective directors and officers, general
partners, limited partners and managing directors, each other person who
participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and
each other person, if any, who controls, is controlled by or is under common
control with any such Holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act (and directors, officers, controlling persons, partners and
managing directors of any of the foregoing), against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, and expenses (including any amounts
paid in any settlement effected with the Company's consent, which consent will
not be unreasonably withheld) to which such Holder, any such director, officer,
general or limited partner, managing director, any such underwriter or
controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, state securities
or "blue sky" laws, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or
expenses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the Effective Date thereof,
in any Registration Statement under which such securities were registered under
the Securities Act, any preliminary, final or summary disclosure document
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) any omission or
alleged omission to state in such Registration Statement a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any
federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and
relating to action required of or inaction by the Company in connection with any
such Registration. The Company shall reimburse each such Holder and each such
director, officer, general partner, limited partner, managing director or
underwriter and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending such
loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding, provided, that the Company shall
not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of
or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or amendment or supplement
thereto or in any such preliminary, final or summary disclosure document in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company through an instrument duly executed by such Holder in its capacity as a
Holder of Registrable Securities in the Company or any such director, officer,
general or limited partner, managing director or underwriter specifically
stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof; and,
32
provided further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Holder of
Registrable Securities, any person who participates as an underwriter in the
offering or sale of Registrable Securities, if any, or any other person, if any,
who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, pursuant
to this Section with respect to any preliminary disclosure document or the final
disclosure document or the final disclosure document as amended or supplemented
as the case may be, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
of such underwriter or controlling person results from the fact that such
underwriter sold Registrable Securities to a person to whom there was not sent
or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the
final disclosure document or of the final disclosure document as then amended or
supplemented, whichever is most recent, if the Company has previously furnished
copies thereof to such underwriter and such final disclosure document, as then
amended or supplemented, had corrected any such misstatement or omission. The
indemnity provided for herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any such director,
officer, general partner, limited partner, managing director, underwriter or
controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such
Holder.
(b) Indemnification by the Holders of Registrable Securities and
Underwriters. The Company may require, as a condition to including any
Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed in accordance with
the provisions hereof, that the Company shall have received an undertaking
reasonably satisfactory to it from the Holders of such Registrable Securities or
any underwriter, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the
same extent as set forth in paragraph (a) above) the Company and its directors,
officers, controlling persons and all other prospective sellers and their
respective directors, officers, general and limited partners, managing
directors, and their respective controlling persons with respect to any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from
such Registration Statement, any preliminary, final or summary disclosure
document contained therein, or any amendment or supplement, if such untrue
statement or untrue alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company or its representatives through an instrument duly executed by or on
behalf of such Holder or underwriter specifically stating that it is for use in
the preparation of such Registration Statement, preliminary, final or summary
disclosure document or amendment or supplement, or a document incorporated by
reference into any of the foregoing. Such indemnity shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company
or any of the Holders of Registrable Securities, underwriters or any of their
respective directors, officers, general or limited partners, managing directors
or controlling persons and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such
Holder, provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable in the aggregate
for any amounts exceeding the product of the sale price per Registrable Security
and the number of Registrable Securities being sold pursuant to such
Registration Statement or disclosure document by such Holder.
33
(c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with
respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this
Section 7.06, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to
be made against an indemnifying party, promptly give written notice to the
indemnifying party of the commencement of such action, provided that the failure
of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the
indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding subsections of this
Section, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced
by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an
indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a
conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties exists in
respect of such claim, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in
and, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the
defense thereof, to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense thereof,
the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with
the defense thereof, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a
conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties arises in
respect of such claim after the assumption of the defense thereof, and the
indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No
indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is
not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any single
jurisdiction for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect
to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a
conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of
such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the
indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such
additional counsel or counsels as may be reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, and without limiting any of the
rights set forth above, in any event any party will have the right to retain, at
its own expense, counsel with respect to the defense of a claim.
(d) Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the
preceding subsections of this Section 7.06 (with appropriate modifications)
shall be given by the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities with
respect to any required Registration or other qualification of securities under
any federal or state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the
Securities Act.
(e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution
in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in this Section
is for any reason held to be unenforceable although applicable in accordance
with its terms,
34
the Company, the Holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters shall
contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of
the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company, the
Holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, in such proportions that
the underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage
that the underwriting discount appearing in the disclosure document bears to the
initial public offering price appearing therein and the Company and the Holders
of Registrable Securities are responsible for the balance; provided, however,
that 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 was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. As between the
Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities, such parties shall contribute
to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature
contemplated by such indemnity agreement in such proportion as shall be
appropriate to reflect (x) the relative benefits received by the Company, on the
one hand, and the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in the offering
on the other hand, from the offering of the Registrable Securities and any other
securities included in such offering, and (y) the relative fault of the Company,
on the one hand, and the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in the
offering, on the other, with respect to the statements or omissions which
resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, or action in respect
thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders of the
Registrable Securities on the other, with respect to such offering shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as the sum of the total purchase price paid
to the Company in respect of the Registrable Securities plus the total net
proceeds from the offering of any other securities included in such offering
(before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the amount by which
the total net proceeds from the offering of Registrable Securities (before
deducting expenses) received by the Holders of the Registrable Securities with
respect to such offering exceeds the purchase price paid to the Company in
respect of the Registrable Securities, and in each case the net proceeds
received from such offering shall be determined as set forth in the disclosure
document. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or the Holders of the Registrable Securities, the intent
of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and
the Holders of the Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section were to be determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into
account the equitable considerations referred to herein. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company and the Holders of
Registrable Securities agree that any contribution required to be made by any
Holder pursuant to this Section 7.06(e) shall not exceed the net proceeds from
the offering of Registrable Securities (before deducting expenses) received by
such Holder with respect to such offering. For purposes of this Section, each
Person, if any, who controls a Holder of Registrable Securities or an
underwriter within the
35
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as such Holder or underwriter, and each director of the Company,
each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.
7.07. Rule 144. At all times after a public offering of any of the
Company's securities, the Company agrees that it will file in a timely manner
all reports required to be filed by it pursuant to the Exchange Act, and, if at
any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will make
available to the public, to the extent required to permit the sale of Shares by
any Holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, current information about itself and its activities as contemplated by Rule
144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may deregister any class of its
equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or suspend its duty to
file reports with respect to any class of its securities pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act if it is then permitted to do so pursuant to the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
8. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
8.01. Right of First Offer. Before the Company shall issue, sell or
exchange, agree or obligate itself to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set
aside for issuance, sale or exchange, any (a) shares of Common Stock, (b) any
other equity security of the Company, including without limitation, shares of
Preferred Stock, (c) any convertible debt security of the Company including
without limitation, any debt security which by its terms is convertible into or
exchangeable for any equity security of the Company, (d) any security of the
Company that is a combination of debt and equity, or (e) any option, warrant or
other right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any such equity
security or any such debt security of the Company, the Company shall, in each
case, first offer to sell such securities (the "Offered Securities") to those
Purchasers then holding capital stock of the Company (the "Offerees") as
follows: the Company shall offer to sell to each Offeree (x) an amount of the
Offered Securities (the "Basic Amount") sufficient to allow each Offeree to
maintain a proportional interest in the Company equal to a fraction, (i) the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (including for the
purposes of such calculation the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or upon conversion or exercise of
other securities or options of the Company) then held by such Offeree and (ii)
the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued
and outstanding and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock or upon the conversion or exercise of
other securities or options of the Company, determined immediately prior to the
issue, sale or exchange of the Offered Securities, and (y) such additional
portion of the Offered Securities as such Offeree shall indicate it will
purchase should the other Offerees subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts
(the "Undersubscription Amount"), at a price and on such other terms
36
as applicable to such issuance, sale or exchange of Offered Securities. Such
terms and price, and the Offerees' respective Basic Amounts, shall be specified
by the Company in writing delivered to the Offerees (the "Offer"), which Offer
by its terms shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of 30 days from
receipt of the Offer
8.02. Notice of Acceptance. Notice of each Offeree's intention to accept,
in whole or in part, any Offer made pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be evidenced
by a writing signed by such Offeree and delivered to the Company prior to the
end of the 30-day period of such offer, setting forth such of the Offeree's
Basic Amount as such Offeree elects to purchase and, if such Offeree shall elect
to purchase all of its Basic Amount, such Undersubscription Amount as such
Offeree shall elect to purchase (the "Notice of Acceptance"). If the Basic
Amounts subscribed for by all Offerees are less than the total Offered
Securities, then each Offeree who has set forth Undersubscription Amounts in its
Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic
Amounts subscribed for, all Undersubscription Amounts it has subscribed for;
provided, however, that should the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for
exceed the difference between the Offered Securities and the Basic Amounts
subscribed for (the "Available Undersubscription Amount"), each Offeree who has
subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall purchase only that portion of
the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Undersubscription Amount
subscribed for by such Offeree bears to the total Undersubscription Amounts
subscribed for by all Offerees, subject to rounding by the Board of Directors to
the extent it reasonably deems necessary.
8.03. Conditions to Acceptances and Purchase.
(a) Permitted Sales of Refused Securities. In the event that Notices of
Acceptance are not given by the Offerees in respect of all the Offered
Securities, the Company shall have 90 days from the expiration of the 30-day
period set forth in Section 8.01 to sell all or any part of such Offered
Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Offerees
(the "Refused Securities") to any Person or Persons, but only for cash and
otherwise in all respects upon terms and conditions, including, without
limitation, unit price and interest rates, which are no more favorable, in the
aggregate, to such other Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than
those set forth in the Offer.
(b) Reduction in Amount of Offered Securities. In the event the Company
shall propose to sell less than all the Offered Securities (any such sale to be
in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 8.03(a) above), then each
Offeree shall have the right, but not the obligation, to reduce the number of
shares or other units of the Offered Securities specified in its respective
Notice of Acceptance to an amount which shall be not less than the amount of the
Offered Securities which such Offeree elected to purchase pursuant to Section
8.02 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the amount of
Offered Securities which the Company actually proposes to sell, and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the amount of all Offered Securities. In the event
that any Offeree so elects to reduce the number or
37
amount of Offered Securities specified in its respective Notice of Acceptance,
the Company may not sell or otherwise dispose of more than the reduced amount of
the Offered Securities until such securities have again been offered to the
Offerees in accordance with Section 8.01.
(c) Closing. Upon the closing, which shall include full payment to the
Company, of the sale to such other Person or Persons of all or less than all the
Refused Securities, the Offerees shall purchase from the Company, and the
Company shall sell to the Offerees, the number of Offered Securities specified
in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 8.03(b) if the
Offerees have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.
The purchase by the Offerees of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases
to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Offerees of a
purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory
in form and substance to the Offerees and their respective counsel.
8.04. Further Sale. In each case, any Offered Securities not purchased by
the Offerees or other Person or Persons in accordance with Section 8.03 may not
be sold or otherwise issued until they are again offered to the Offerees under
the procedures specified in Sections 8.01, 8.02 and 8.03.
8.05. Offer Participation Requirement. The rights of each Offeree under
this Section 8 shall not be afforded to such Offeree with respect to any Offer
occurring subsequent to any Offer in which such Offeree has failed to purchase
its Basic Amount so long as such Offeree shall have been afforded the right to
participate in such prior Offer to the extent of its Basic Amount and shall have
not waived its right to participate at the request of the Company.
8.06. Termination and Waiver of Right of First Offer. The rights of the
Offerees under this Section 8 shall terminate immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to a Qualified Public
Offering, but expressly conditioned on the consummation of a Qualified Public
Offering.
8.07. Exception. The rights of the Offerees under this Section 8 shall not
apply to the following: (a) Common Stock issued as a stock dividend to holders
of Common Stock or upon any subdivision or combination of shares of Common
Stock; (b) Series A Preferred Stock issued upon any subdivision or combination
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (c) Special Preferred Stock (Northern

Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the 12% Subordinated Debentures and
any additional shares required to be issued thereunder to adjust for any stock
split, stock dividend or combination of Common Stock; (j) 25,000 shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Buscema Options and any
additional shares required to be issued thereunder to adjust for any stock
split, stock dividend or combination of Common Stock; (k) 109,728 shares of

and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies,
costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a
result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or
covenants made by the Company herein or in any of the Related Agreements. Each
Purchaser severally but not jointly
48
agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Company and its directors, officers,
affiliates, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses,
liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by
any such Person as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the
representations, warranties or covenants made by the Purchasers herein.
10.02. Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification
under this Section 10 (an "indemnified party") will give written notice to the
indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
promptly after the discovery by such party of any matters giving rise to a claim
for indemnification; provided that the failure of any party entitled to
indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve
the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 10 except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to
give notice. In any action, proceeding or claim which is brought against an
indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the
reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it
and the indemnifying party exists in respect of such action, proceeding or
claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonable satisfactory to
the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an
indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification
hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification
notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or
compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim(or
discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the
indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or
pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party
elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim,
proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs and expenses arising out of
the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding
shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party
shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any
negotiation or defense of any such action, proceeding or claim by the
indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information
reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action,
proceeding or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party
fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement
negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend
any such action, proceeding or claim, then the indemnified party shall be
entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole
cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement
of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent,
provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition its consent. Anything in the Section 10 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified
party's prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to
entry of any judgement in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on
the indemnified party or which does not include, as an
49
unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the
indemnified party, a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The
indemnification required by this Section 10 shall be made by periodic payments
of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and
when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred. The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of
action or similar right of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party
or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to
pursuant to the law.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.01. No Waiver: Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of
any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The remedies
herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law.
11.02. Amendments. Waivers and Consents. Any provision in the Agreement to

herein may be omitted or waived, if the Company (a) shall obtain consent thereto

of such consent in writing to any Holders who did not execute such consent;
provided, that no consents shall be effective to reduce the percentage in
interest of the Shares the consent of the Holders of which is required under
this Section 11.02. Any waiver or consent may be given subject to satisfaction
of conditions stated therein and any waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

prior understandings or agreements concerning the subject matter hereof.

Agreement and the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are severable and, in
the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one
or more of the provisions or part of a provision contained in this Agreement,
any Related Agreement or the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock shall, for
any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision

invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of a provision, had never

valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver
