2. Shelf Registration
(a) The Company agrees to file with the SEC as soon as practicable
after the Closing Date, but in no event later than the Filing Date, a
Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415 covering all of the Transfer Restricted Securities (the "Shelf
Registration"). The Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 under the Securities
Act or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Transfer
Restricted Securities for resale by the Holders in the manner or manners
reasonably designated by them (including, without limitation, one or more
underwritten offerings). The Company shall use all reasonable efforts, as
described in Section 4, to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective
pursuant to the Securities Act as promptly as practicable following the filing
thereof, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Target Date, and to keep
the Shelf Registration continuously effective under the Securities Act for 24
months after the latest date of initial issuance of the Notes (the
"Effectiveness Period"), or such shorter period ending when either (1) all
Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration have been sold
in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the Shelf Registration or (2)
there cease to be outstanding any Transfer Restricted Securities.
(b) The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration continuously effective, for the period described in Section 2(a)
hereof, by supplementing and amending the Shelf Registration if required by the
rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for
such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act or if reasonably
requested by the holders of a majority in amount of the Transfer Restricted
Securities (determined on a fully converted basis) covered by such Registration
Statement or by any underwriter of such Transfer Restricted Securities (except
to the extent any such amendment or supplement requested by such holders or
underwriter would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company (based on advice of
counsel) make the statements therein misleading).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, but
subject to compliance with Section 3, the Company may, by delivering written
notice to the Holders, prohibit offers and sales of Transfer Restricted
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration at any time if (A)(i) the Company
is in possession of material non public information relating to the Company,
(ii) the Company determines (based on advice of counsel) that such prohibition
is necessary in order to avoid a requirement to disclose such material non
public information to the public and (iii) the Company determines in good faith
that public disclosure of such material non public information would not be in
the best interests of the Company and its stockholders or (B)(i) the Company has
made a public announcement relating to an acquisition or business combination
transaction including the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries that is
material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole and (ii) the
Company determines in good faith that (x) offers and sales of Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration prior to the
consummation of such transaction (or such earlier date as the Company shall
determine) is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders or
(y) it would be impracticable at the time to obtain any financial statements
relating to such acquisition or business combination transaction that would be
required to be set forth in the Shelf Registration; provided, however, that upon
(i) the public disclosure by the Company of the material non public information
described in clause (A) of this paragraph or (ii) the consummation, abandonment
or termination of, or the availability of the required financial statements with
respect to, a transaction described in clause (B) of this paragraph, the
suspension of the use of the Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2(c)
shall cease and the Company shall promptly comply with Section 4(b) hereof and
notify Holders that dispositions of Transfer Restricted Securities may be
resumed.
3. Liquidated Damages
(a) The Company and the Purchasers agree that the Holders of Transfer
Restricted Securities will suffer damages if the Company fails to fulfill its
obligations pursuant to Sections 2 and 4(b) hereof and that it would not be
possible to ascertain the extent of such damages. Accordingly, in the event of
such failure by the Company to fulfill such obligations, the Company hereby
agrees to pay liquidated damages ("Liquidated Damages") to each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities under the circumstances and to the extent set
forth below.
If (i) the Shelf Registration has not been filed with the SEC on or
prior to the Filing Date; or (ii) the Shelf Registration is not declared
effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Target Date; or (iii) the
Shelf Registration has been declared effective by the SEC and such Shelf
Registration ceases to be effective or the Prospectus contained therein ceases
to be usable (including as a result of a prohibition against sales of Transfer
Restricted Securities pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof or a suspension of the use
of the Prospectus as described in the last paragraph of Section 4 hereof) at any
time during the Effectiveness Period for a period of time which shall exceed 90
days in the aggregate during any 365-day period (each such event referred to in
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a "Registration Default"), then the Company shall
pay Liquidated Damages in cash to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities
following the occurrence of such Registration Default in an amount equal to $.05
per week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes or, if applicable, $.0022 per week
per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock
recombinations, stock dividends and the like) of Common Stock constituting
Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder for each week or portion
thereof that the Registration Default continues. The amount of such Liquidated
Damages will increase by an additional $.05 per week per $1,000 principal amount
of Notes or, if applicable, $.0022 per week per share (subject to adjustment as
set forth above) of Common Stock constituting Transfer Restricted Securities for
each subsequent 90 day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured;
provided, however, that Liquidated Damages shall not at any time exceed $.25 per
week per $1,000 principal amount of Notes or $.0111 per week per share (subject
to adjustment as set forth above) of Common Stock constituting Transfer
Restricted Securities. Such Liquidated Damages shall be the sole remedy
available to Holders of such Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to a
Registration Default. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating
to any Transfer Restricted Securities, the accrual of Liquidated Damages with
respect to such Transfer Restricted Securities will cease. A Registration
Default under clause (i) above shall be cured on the date that the Shelf
Registration is filed with the SEC; a Registration Default under clause (ii)
above shall be cured on the date that the Shelf Registration is declared
effective by the SEC; and a Registration Default under clause (iii) above shall
be cured on the date the Shelf Registration is declared effective or the
Prospectus contained therein again becomes usable.
(b) The Company shall notify the Trustee within one Business Day after
each and every date on which a Registration Default first occurs. Liquidated
Damages shall be paid on each Payment Date by the Company to the Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities as of the immediately preceding Record Date (as
defined in the Indenture) in the same manner interest is paid to Holders of
Notes pursuant to the Indenture. Each obligation to pay Liquidated Damages shall
be deemed to commence accruing on the date of the applicable Registration
Default and to cease accruing when all Registration Defaults have been cured. In
no event shall the Company pay Liquidated Damages in excess of the applicable
maximum weekly amount set forth above, regardless of whether one or multiple
Registration Defaults exist (e.g., subject to increase as set forth above for
each subsequent 90-day period, Liquidated Damages shall equal $.05 per week per
$1,000 principal amount of Notes during the first 90-day period immediately
following the occurrence of the first Registration Default regardless of whether
additional Registration Defaults occur during such 90 day period).
4. Registration Procedures
In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder,
the Company shall effect such registrations on the appropriate form available
for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities to permit the sale of
Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the method or methods of
disposition thereof specified by the holders of a majority in amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities (determined on a fully converted basis), and pursuant
thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:
(a) No fewer than five Business Days prior to the initial filing of a
Registration Statement or Prospectus and no fewer than two Business Days prior
to the filing of any amendment or supplement thereto (other than any document
that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference),
furnish to the Holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities, their Special
Counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents
proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Holders,
their Special Counsel and such underwriters, if any, during the five Business
Day period or two Business Day period, respectively, and cause the officers and
directors of the Company, counsel to the Company and independent certified
public accountants to the Company to respond to such inquiries as shall be
necessary in connection with such Registration Statement, in the opinion of
respective counsel to such Holders and such underwriters, to conduct a
reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company
shall not file any such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto (other than any document that would be
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated in the Registration Statement by
reference) to which the Holders of a majority of the Transfer Restricted
Securities (determined on a fully converted basis), their Special Counsel, or
the managing underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object on a timely basis;
provided, that the Company may assume, for the purposes of this subparagraph
(a), that objections to the inclusion of information specifically requested to
be included in the Registration Statement by the staff of the SEC, or in the
opinion of counsel to the Company required to be in the Registration Statement,
or specifically required by the Securities Act or other applicable law, shall
not be deemed to be reasonable;
(b) Use its best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement
as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective
for the applicable time period; cause, subject to Section 2(c) hereof, the
related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and
as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and comply in all material
respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange 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 as
so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented;
(c) Notify the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold (to
the extent known by the Company) or their Special Counsel and the managing
underwriters, if any, promptly (and in the case of an event specified by clause
(i)(A) of this paragraph, in no event fewer than two Business Days prior to such
filing), and (if requested by any such person) confirm such notice in writing,
(i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment is proposed to be filed, and (B) with respect to a Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective,
(ii) of any request by the SEC or any other Federal or state governmental
authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or
Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC, any
state securities commission, any other governmental agency or any court of any
stop order, order or injunction suspending or enjoining the use or the
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any Proceeding
for that purpose, (iv) if at any time any of the representations and warranties
of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement)
contemplated by Section 4(m) hereof cease to be true and correct in all material
respects, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the Transfer Restricted Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation or threatening, in each case in writing, of any Proceeding for such
purpose, and (vi) of the happening of any event that requires the making of any
changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated therein by reference so that, in the case of the
Registration Statement, it will not contain any 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, and that, in the case
of the Prospectus, it will not contain any 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading;
(d) Use all reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if
issued, obtain the withdrawal of any order enjoining or suspending the use or
effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the lifting of any suspension of
the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Transfer
Restricted Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable
moment;
(e) If requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders
of a majority in amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities (determined on a
fully converted basis) being sold in connection with such offering, (i) promptly
incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information as the managing underwriters, if any, and such Holders agree should
be included therein relating to the terms of the sale of the Transfer Restricted
Securities of such Holder in the Prospectus, and (ii) make all required filings
of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as
practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be
incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any action
pursuant to this Section 4(e) that would, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, violate applicable law;
(f) Furnish to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities so
requesting in writing, their Special Counsel and each managing underwriter, if
any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement
and each amendment thereto, including financial statements (but excluding
schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference and all exhibits, unless requested in writing by such Holder, counsel
or managing underwriter);
(g) Deliver to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, their
Special Counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of
the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each
amendment or supplement thereto as such persons reasonably request; and the
Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or
supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and
sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto;
(h) Prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, use
all reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of
Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold, the underwriters, if any, and their
respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or
exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Transfer Restricted
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder or underwriter reasonably
requests in writing; use all reasonable efforts to keep each such registration
or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such
Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and use all reasonable
efforts to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable
the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it
is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or
subject the Company to any tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject;
(i) In connection with any sale or transfer of Transfer Restricted
Securities that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer
Restricted Securities, cooperate with the Holders and the managing underwriters,
if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold, which certificates shall
not bear any restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit
with The Depository Trust Company and to enable such Transfer Restricted
Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the
managing underwriters, if any, or Holders may request at least two Business Days
prior to any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities;
(j) Use all reasonable efforts to cause the offering of the Transfer
Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the
United States as may require such registration or approval, except as may be
required as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holder's business, in
which case the Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing
of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals as may be
necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriters, if any,
to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to register the Transfer
Restricted Securities in any jurisdiction that would subject it to general
service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or
subject the Company to any tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so
subject or to require the Company to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not then so qualified;
(k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(c)(vi)
hereof, as promptly as practicable, prepare a supplement or amendment,
including, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment, to each Registration
Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered, such Prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(l) Prior to the effective date of the first Registration Statement
relating to the Transfer Restricted Securities, to provide a CUSIP number for
the Transfer Restricted Securities;
(m) Enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in
form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings) and take
all such other reasonable actions in connection therewith (including those
reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a
majority in amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold (determined
on a fully converted basis)) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition
of such Transfer Restricted Securities, and, in such connection, if an
underwriting agreement is entered into (i) make such representations and
warranties to the underwriters with respect to the business of the Company and
its subsidiaries (including with respect to businesses or assets acquired or to
be acquired by any of them), and the Registration Statement, Prospectus and
documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by
issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings, and confirm the same if and
when requested; (ii) use all reasonable efforts to obtain opinions of counsel to
the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and
substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if
any), addressed to each of the underwriters, covering the matters customarily
covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters
as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters; (iii) use all reasonable
efforts to obtain customary "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof from the
independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any
other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company
or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and
financial data is, or is required to be, included in the Registration
Statement), addressed (where reasonably possible) to each selling Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities and each of the underwriters, such letters to be
in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in "cold
comfort" letters in connection with underwritten offerings; (iv) the
underwriting agreement shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures
no less favorable to the selling Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities and
the underwriters than those set forth in Section 6 hereof (or such other
provisions and procedures acceptable to Holders of a majority in amount of the
Transfer Restricted Securities (determined on a fully converted basis) covered
by such Registration Statement and the managing underwriters); and (v) deliver
such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the managing
underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations
and warranties made pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 4(m) and to evidence
compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting
agreement;
(n) Make available for inspection by a representative of the Holders of
not less than 50% of the Transfer Restricted Securities (determined on a fully
converted basis) being sold (to the extent reasonably practicable), any
underwriter participating in any such disposition of Transfer Restricted
Securities, if any, and any Special Counsel, consultant or accountant retained
by such selling Holders or underwriter, at the offices where normally kept,
during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent
corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries as they
may reasonably request, and cause the officers, directors, agents and employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information in each case
reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, attorney,
consultant or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement,
provided, however, that such persons shall first agree in writing with the
Company that any information that is reasonably and in good faith designated by
the Company in writing as confidential at the time of delivery of such
information shall be kept confidential by such persons, unless (i) disclosure of
such information is required by court or administrative order or is necessary to
respond to inquiries of regulatory authorities, (ii) disclosure of such
information is required by law (including any disclosure requirements pursuant
to Federal securities laws in connection with the filing of any Registration
Statement or the use of any Prospectus referred to in this Agreement), (iii)
such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a
result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by any such person or (iv) such
information becomes available to any such person from a source other than the
Company and such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement;
(o) Cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than
the effective date of the first Registration Statement relating to the Transfer
Restricted Securities; and in connection therewith, cooperate with the trustee
under the Indenture and the holders of the Transfer Restricted Securities to
effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be
so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use its
reasonable best efforts to cause such trustee to execute, all customary
documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and
documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so
qualified in a timely manner; and
(p) Comply with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make
generally available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158, no later than 45
days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90 days after the end of any
12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of
any fiscal quarter in which Transfer Restricted Securities are sold to
underwriters in a firm commitment or reasonable efforts underwritten offering
and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the
first day of the first fiscal quarter after the effective date of a Registration
Statement, which statement shall cover said period, consistent with the
requirements of Rule 158.
The Company may require each seller of Transfer Restricted Securities
as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such
information regarding the distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities as
is required by law to be disclosed in the applicable Registration Statement and
the Company may exclude from such registration the Transfer Restricted
Securities of any seller who unreasonably fails to furnish such information
within a reasonable time after receiving such request. Each such Holder agrees,
by the acquisition of Transfer Restricted Securities, and agrees to confirm such
agreement in writing upon request of the Company, to notify the Company as
promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy or change in information previously
furnished by such Holder to the Company or of the occurrence of any event as a
result of which any Prospectus relating to such registration contains or would
contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such Holder or such
Holder's intended method of distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities,
or omits to state any material fact regarding such Holder or such Holder's
intended method of distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities,
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances then
existing, not misleading and promptly to furnish to the Company any additional
information required to correct and update any previously furnished information
or required so that such Prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such
Holder or the distribution of such Transfer Restricted Securities, an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances then existing, not
misleading.
If any such Registration Statement refers to any Holder by name or
otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall
have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, to the effect that the holding
by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by
such Holder of the investment quality of the Company's securities covered
thereby and that such holding does not imply that such Holder will assist in
meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the event
that such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the
Securities Act or any similar Federal statute then in force, the deletion of the
reference to such Holder in any amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement filed or prepared subsequent to the time that such reference ceases to
be required.
Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees by acquisition of
such Transfer Restricted Securities that, upon receipt of any notice from the
Company pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof or of the happening of any event of the
kind described in Section 4(c)(ii), 4(c)(iii), 4(c)(v) or 4(c)(vi) hereof, such
Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Transfer Restricted
Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such
Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 4(k) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the
Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either
case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus, and,
if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the
Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such
Holder's possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted
Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.
5. Registration Expenses

listing of the securities to be registered on any securities exchange or on

the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained

(b) In connection with any registration hereunder, the Company shall

firm of attorneys representing the selling Holders to be designated as Special
Counsel (in addition to any local counsel), which firm shall be chosen by the
Holders of a majority in amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities
(determined on a fully converted basis).
6. Indemnification
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each of the
Purchasers, (ii) each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, (iii) each
person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any of the foregoing (any of the persons
referred to in this clause (iii) being hereinafter referred to as a "controlling
person"), and (iv) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
representatives and agents of the Purchasers, each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities, or any controlling person (any person referred to in clause (i),
(ii), (iii) or (iv) may hereinafter be referred to as an "Indemnified Person"),
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments
caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of Prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary Prospectus, or caused
by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of
any Prospectus or form of Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by any such untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon
information relating to any Indemnified Person furnished in writing to the
Company by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein;
provided that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any preliminary Prospectus
shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person from whom the person
asserting such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments purchased
securities if such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission made in such preliminary Prospectus is eliminated or remedied in the
Prospectus and a copy of the Prospectus shall not have been furnished to such
person in a timely manner due to the wrongful action or wrongful inaction of
such Indemnified Person (provided that the Company has delivered the Prospectus
to such Indemnified Person in requisite quantity on a timely basis to permit
such delivery or sending).
(b) In case any action shall be brought against any Indemnified Person,
based upon any Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereto and with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the
Company, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing
and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person and payment of all
fees and expenses. Any Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ
separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Person, unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been
specifically authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Company shall have
failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or (iii) the named parties to
any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified
Person and the Company and such Indemnified Person shall have been advised in
writing by counsel that the representation of such Indemnified Person and the
Company by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of
professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has
been proposed) due to an actual or reasonably anticipated material conflict of
interest between them (in which case the Company shall not have the right to
assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person, it being
understood, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such
action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of
attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Persons,
which firm shall be designated in writing by such Indemnified Persons, and that
all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred). The
Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected
without its written consent but if settled with the written consent of the
Company, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified
Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect
of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i)
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
on claims that are or could have been the subject matter of such proceeding and
(ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or
a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.
(c) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities is participating, such Holder of Transfer
Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and any person controlling the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to
each Indemnified Person but only with reference to information relating to such
Indemnified Person furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Indemnified
Person expressly for use in such Registration Statement. In case any action
shall be brought against the Company, any of its directors, any such of officer
or any person controlling the Company based on such Registration Statement and
in respect of which indemnity may be sought against any Indemnified Person, the
Indemnified Person shall have the rights and duties given to the Company (except
that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof, such Indemnified
Person shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein
and participate in defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person), and the Company, its
directors, any such officers and any person controlling the Company shall have
the rights and duties given to the Indemnified Person, by Section 6(b) hereof.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is
unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and each
Indemnified Person on the other hand from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and
each such Indemnified Person in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Company and each such Indemnified Person shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company or such Indemnified Person and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if the Indemnified Persons were treated as one entity for
such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set
forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6, no Indemnified Person shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds
received by it in connection with the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities
pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Indemnified Person has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. The Indemnified Persons'
obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6(d) are several in
proportion to the respective amount of Notes included in any such Registration
Statement by each Indemnified Person and not joint.
7. Rules 144 and 144A
The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to file the reports
required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a
timely manner and, if at any time it is not required to file such reports but in
the past had been required to or did file such reports, it will, upon the
request of any holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, make available other
information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit, sales of its
Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144 and Rule 144A.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to
require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange
Act.
8. Underwritten Registrations
(a) If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Shelf
Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker
or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering
will be selected by the Holders of a majority in amount of such Transfer
Restricted Securities (determined on a fully converted basis) included in such
offering, subject to the consent of the Company (which will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).
No person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder
unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Transfer Restricted
Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such
underwriting arrangements.
(b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, if requested
(pursuant to a timely written notice) by the managing underwriters in an
underwritten offering, not to effect any private sale or distribution (including
a sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) and Rule 144A, but excluding non-public sales to
any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and controlling persons)
of any of the Notes, in the case of an offering of the Company's debt
securities, or the Common Stock, in the case of an offering of the Company's
equity securities, during the period beginning 10 days prior to, and ending 90
days after, the closing date of the underwritten offering.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 8(b) shall not apply to any
Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities if such Holder is prevented by
applicable statute or regulation from entering into any such agreement.
(c) The Initial Purchasers and all Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities agree that, notwithstanding any other term or provision hereof, the
Company shall not be required to enter into any agreements (including
underwriting agreements) or take any other actions contemplated by Section 4(m)
hereof unless requested in writing by the holders of at least 50% of the
Transfer Restricted Securities (determined on a fully converted basis) sold to
the Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
9. Miscellaneous
(a) Remedies. In the event of a Registration Default by the Company,
the sole remedy of the holders of Transfer Restricted Securities will be the
Liquidated Damages set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. In the event of a
breach by the Company, or by a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, of any
of their obligations under this Agreement other than any breach by the Company
that results in a Registration Default, each holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities or the Company, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities agree that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the
provisions of this Agreement that does not result in a Registration Default, and
hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance
in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would
be adequate.
(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any
agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the holders of Transfer Restricted Securities in this Agreement or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
(c) No Piggyback on Registrations. The Company shall not grant to any
of its security holders (other than the Holders of Transfer Restricted
Securities in such capacity) the right to include any of its securities in any
Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement other than
Transfer Restricted Securities.
(d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including
the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be
given, without the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then
outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities (determined on a fully converted
basis); provided, however, that, for the purposes of this Agreement, Transfer
Restricted Securities that are owned, directly or indirectly, by either the
Company or an Affiliate of the Company are not deemed outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions
hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of
Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities whose securities are being sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly
affect the rights of other Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities may be
given by Holders of a majority of the Transfer Restricted Securities (determined
on a fully converted basis) being sold by such Holders pursuant to such
Registration Statement; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence
may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.
(e) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein
shall be made in writing by hand delivery, next day air courier, certified
first-class mail, return receipt requested, telex or telecopy:
(i) if to the Company, as provided in the Purchase Agreement,
(ii) if to the Purchasers, as provided in the Purchase Agreement, or
(iii) if to any other person who is then the registered Holder of any
Transfer Restricted Securities, to the address of such Holder as it appears in
the Note or Common Stock register of the Company.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such communications
shall be deemed to have been duly given: when delivered by hand, if personally
delivered; one Business Day after being timely delivered to a next-day air
courier; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid,
if mailed; when answered back, if telexed; and when receipt is acknowledged by
the recipient's telecopier machine, if telecopied.
(f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of each Holder of Transfer Restricted
Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transferee shall have any of the
rights granted under this Agreement until such transferee shall acknowledge its
rights and obligations hereunder by a signed written statement of such
transferee's acceptance of such rights and obligations.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement
(h) Governing Law: Submission to Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
(i) Severability. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any term, provision, covenant or
restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties
hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative
means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of
such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(j) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. All
references made in this Agreement to "Section" and "paragraph" refer to such
Section or paragraph of this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise.
(k) Attorneys' Fees. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any
provision of this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is validly asserted
as a defense, the prevailing party, as determined by the court, shall be
entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees in addition to any other
available remedy.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Registration Rights Agreement
to be duly executed as of the date first written above.
