AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual
promises and covenants set forth in this
Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
1.1 Registration Rights
The Company
shall file a
registration statement covering
the
Registrable Securities and
shall cause such
registration statement to be
effective within eighteen
(18) months after the
Effective Date (the "Filing
Period").

<PAGE>
1.2 Piggy-Back Registration (a)
In the event the Registrable Securities
have not otherwise been
registered in accordance
with Section 1.1, if the
Company decides at any time to register any of the Company's securities
either
for the Company's own account or the account of a security holder or holders
exercising their respective demand
registration rights or otherwise (other than
pursuant to Section 1.1 or Section 1.4),
other than a registration relating
solely to employee benefit plans, the
offer and sale of debt securities, or a
corporate reorganization or other
transaction on Form S-4 (or
any successor
form), then the Company will:
(i) promptly give to
each Holder written notice thereof; and
(ii) use its best efforts to include
in such registration (and
any related
qualification under blue sky
securities laws or other
compliance), except as set forth in Section 1.2(b), and
include in any
underwriting involved therein,
all the Registrable Securities specified
in a written request or requests
made by any Holder and received by the
Company within thirty (30) days after written
notice is delivered by
the Company. Such request by a
Holder may specify all or a part of such
Holder's Registrable Securities.
If a Holder decides not to include all
of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement
thereafter
filed by the Company, then such Holder shall nevertheless continue to
have the right to include
any of its Registrable Securities
in any
subsequent registration statement or registration
statements as may be
filed by the Company with
respect to offerings of its
securities, all
upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein.
(b) If the registration
for which the Company gives notice is for a
registered public offering involving an
underwriting, then the Company will so
advise the Holders as a part of the
written notice given
pursuant to Section
1.2(a)(i). In such event, any Holder's right to registration pursuant to this
Section 1.2 will be
conditioned upon such
Holder's participation in such
underwriting and the inclusion of such
Holder's Registrable Securities in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein.
All Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through such underwriting will (together with
the
Company and the other holders of Company securities with registration rights to
participate therein) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with
the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company
and reasonably acceptable to a majority
in interest of the Holders' Registrable
Securities included in such underwriting.
(c) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 1.2, if
the
underwriters' representative advises
the Company in writing that
marketing
factors require a limitation on the
number of shares to be
underwritten, then
the underwriters' representative may
(subject to the limitations set forth
below) limit the number of
Registrable Securities to be
included in, the
registration and underwriting,
but in no event
shall (i) the
amount of
securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced unless
the
securities of all other selling stockholders
included in the offering are first
excluded entirely, or (ii) the amount of securities
of the selling Holders
included in the offering be reduced below
twenty percent (20%) of the total
amount of securities included in such offering,
unless such offering is the
initial public offering of the Company's
securities, in which case the
selling
Holders may be excluded entirely if the underwriter's representative makes the
determination above and if the securities of all other selling stockholders are
2
<PAGE>
first excluded entirely.
The Company will so advise all Holders of securities
requesting registration, and the
number of shares
of securities that are
entitled to be included in the registration and
underwriting will, subject to
the immediately preceding
sentence, be allocated
first to the Company for
securities being sold for the Company's
own account and thereafter as set forth
in Section 1.10.
If any Person does
not agree to the
terms of any such
underwriting, then such Person will be excluded from the underwriting by
written
notice from the Company or the underwriter.
Any Registrable Securities or other
securities excluded or withdrawn from
such underwriting will be withdrawn from
such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with
the
foregoing provisions, the Company or the
underwriter(s) may round the number of
shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
(d) If shares are so withdrawn
from the registration and if the number
of shares of Registrable Securities
to be included in such
registration was
previously reduced as a result of marketing factors, then the Company will
offer
to all Persons who have
retained the right
to include securities
in the
registration the right to include
additional securities in the
registration in
an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such
shares
to be allocated among the Persons requesting
additional inclusion in accordance
with Section 1.10.
1.3 Registration Expenses
All Registration Expenses
incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 1.1, 1.2 or 1.4 will be borne
by
the Company provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
for
any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.4 if
the
registration request is subsequently
withdrawn at the request of the Holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered
(in which case all
selling Holders shall
bear such expenses pro rata
based upon the number of
Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration).
1.4 Form S-3 Registration
To the extent the
Company is not otherwise
already eligible, the
Company will use its best efforts to
qualify for registration on Form S-3 (or
any successor form). After the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3,
in
addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1,
the Company will effect as soon as
practicable a registration
on Form S-3 if
requested by one or more Holders who hold in the aggregate at least ten percent
(10%) of the Registrable Securities, which registration will result in
aggregate
proceeds to the Company, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $1,000,000.
1.5 Registration Procedures
In the case of each registration
effected by the Company pursuant
to
this Section 1, the Company will keep
each Holder advised in writing as to the
initiation of each
registration and as to the
completion thereof. At the
Company's expense, the Company will use its best efforts to:
(a) keep such registration
effective for a period of one hundred twenty
(120) days or until the Holder or
Holders have completed
the distribution
described in the registration statement
relating thereto, whichever
occurs
first;
3
<PAGE>
(b) prepare
and file with
the Commission such amendments
and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection
with such registration
statement as may be necessary
to comply with
the
provisions of the
Securities Act with
respect to the disposition
of all
securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) furnish
such number of
prospectuses, including preliminary
prospectuses, and other documents
incident thereto, including any
amendment of
or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably
request;
(d) cause all such
Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this
Agreement to be listed on each securities
exchange on which similar
securities
issued by the Company are then listed;
(e) enter into and
perform its obligations under any underwriting agreement to effect the offer
and
sale of Registrable Securities;
(f) register and qualify
the securities covered by such registration
statement under such
other securities laws
or blue sky
laws of such
jurisdictions as will be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the
Company will not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition
thereto
to qualify to do business or to file a general
consent to service of process in
any such states or jurisdictions;
(g) notify each Holder covered by such registration
statement at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus
included in such registration
statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not
misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing; and
(h) provide
a transfer agent
and registrar for
all Registrable
Securities registered hereunder
and a CUSIP number for all
such Registrable
Securities, in each case not later than the effect date of such registration.
1.6 Indemnification
(a) The Company will indemnify,
defend and hold harmless each Holder,
its officers, directors, stockholders,
partners, members, employees,
agents,
legal counsel, accountants
and other representatives, and
each Person
controlling such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
and each underwriter and each Person who controls any underwriter
within the
meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, from and
against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
obligations, fines, penalties, judgments,
settlements, costs, expenses and
disbursements (including, without
limitation,
attorneys' fees and expenses),
joint or several (or any action,
grievance,
hearing, investigation, proceeding or
suit with respect thereto) (collectively,
"Losses") arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue
statement) of a
material fact contained
in any registration
statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other
document, (ii) any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein 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
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act,
4
<PAGE>
any state securities or blue sky law, or any rule or regulation under any of
the
foregoing applicable to the
Company. The Company will promptly reimburse each
such indemnified Person for any Losses as they are
incurred. The Company will
not be liable for Losses to the extent
that such Losses are based on any untrue
statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company
by
a Holder
or underwriter and
stated to be specifically
for use in
such
registration statement, prospectus,
offering circular or other document.
The
obligations of the Company under this
Section 1.6(a) will not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such Losses if such settlement is effected without
the
Company's consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
(b) Each Holder will, if
Registrable Securities held by such Holder are
included in the securities as to which such registration
is being effected,
indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Company, its
officers, directors,
stockholders, partners, members,
employees, agents, legal counsel, accountants
and other representatives, and each Person controlling the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act, and each underwriter
and each
Person who controls any
underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act, from and against any and
all Losses arising out of or based on
(i) any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement)
of a material fact
contained in any registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other
document, or (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein
not misleading. The
applicable Holder will
