ARTICLE II.
SHELF REGISTRATION.

 

Section 2.01.          Shelf Registration.

 

(a)        The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, no later than the
Filing Deadline, a “shelf” Registration Statement on Form S-3 (if the Company is
then eligible to use Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or
any similar short form registration covering the resale of such Registrable
Securities for which the Company is then eligible) relating to the offer and
sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in
accordance with the methods of distribution requested by the Holders to be set
forth in the Registration Statement and Rule 415 (together with any additional
registration statements filed to register any Registrable Securities, including
those that were subject to a Rule 415 Limitation, the “Shelf Registration”). In
no event shall the Company be obligated to effect any Shelf Registration other
than pursuant to a Form S-3 (or any comparable or successor form or forms or any
similar short form registration covering the resale of such Registrable
Securities) if the Company is then eligible to use Form S-3 (or such comparable
or successor form) for the registration of the Holder Shares under the
Securities Act.  If the Company is not eligible to use Form S-3 (or such
comparable or successor form) at the time of filing of a Registration Statement
pursuant to this Article II, the Company will use Form S-1 (or such comparable
or successor form thereto) to effect such registration and will undertake to
register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 (or such comparable or successor
form thereto) promptly after such form is available for use by the Company;
provided that the Company shall not be obligated to keep effective any Shelf
Registration on Form S-1 for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days
in any twelve (12) month period (treating, for purposes of such determination,
any days included in any Deferral Period as days during which such Shelf
Registration is not effective); provided further, that upon regaining
eligibility to use Form S-3 (or any comparable or successor form), the Company
shall promptly file a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (or such comparable or
successor form thereto), which may be in the form of a post-

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

effective amendment to a Shelf Registration on Form S-1, covering all of the
then Registrable Securities and, subject to the immediately preceding proviso,
will maintain the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (or such
comparable or successor form) then in effect until such time as a Shelf
Registration on Form S-3 (or such comparable or successor form thereto) covering
the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC. If the
Company continues to not be eligible to use Form S-3 (or such comparable or
successor form thereto) to register the Registrable Securities after the one
hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above has expired in respect of the
most recent Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (or such comparable or successor form
thereto), the Company will, upon the written request of one or more Holders file
another Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (or such comparable or successor form
thereto) covering the Registrable Securities subject to the same limitations
regarding maintenance of effectiveness as described above; provided that the
Company shall not be obligated to file more than one (1) Shelf Registration on
Form S-1 (or such comparable or successor form thereto), together with any
amendments thereto, in any calendar year and shall not be obligated to file a
Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (or such comparable or successor form thereto),
other than the initial Shelf Registration on Form S-1, until the date that is
ninety (90) days after the expiration of the one hundred eighty (180) day period
referred to above in respect of the immediately preceding Shelf Registration on
Form S-1 (or such comparable or successor form thereto).  Subject to the terms
of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Article II to be
declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably possible
after the filing thereof.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to address any comments from the SEC regarding any such Registration
Statement and to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all Registrable
Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from
including any or all of the Registrable Securities on a Registration Statement
due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale
of the Registrable Securities by the Holders (a “Rule 415 Limitation”) or
otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of
Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is
permitted by the SEC, and, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01, the
Company shall continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register
all remaining Registrable Securities as promptly as reasonably practicable in
accordance with the applicable rules, regulations and guidance of the SEC. In
such event, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each
Holder in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all
Holders.

 

(b)        Subject to Section 2.01(a) with respect to Shelf Registration on
Forms S-1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act and,
subject to Section 2.01(d), useable for resale of all of the Registrable
Securities included therein, to re-file such Registration Statement upon its
expiration, to file another Registration Statement to register any Registrable
Securities subject to a Rule 415 Limitation promptly upon the occurrence of any
circumstance or event that would permit the registration of such Registrable
Securities (and to cause such additional Registration Statement to become
effective) and, subject to Section 4.02(c), to reasonably cooperate in any shelf
take down, by amending or supplementing the Prospectus related to such
Registration Statement as may be reasonably requested by each Holder, or as
otherwise required for it to be available for resales by each Holder of the
Registrable Securities, until the earlier of (x) the date upon which the
Registrable Securities held by such Holder cease to be Registrable Securities,
(y) the date that all Registrable Securities (including for the

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

avoidance of doubt any Registrable Securities that were subject to any Rule 415
Limitation) held by such Holder have been sold and (z) the seventh anniversary
of the date on which the Shelf Registration is first declared effective by the
SEC shall be referred to herein as the “Registration Period.”

 

(c)        Upon receipt of a written request from any Holder, the Company shall,
within fifteen (15) Business Days of such receipt but subject to any Rule 415
Limitation, file such amendments to a Shelf Registration or supplements to a
related Prospectus as are reasonably necessary to permit such Holder to effect
sales of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration.

 

(d)        Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, prior to
the third anniversary of the Effective Time, no Holder shall, or shall be
entitled to, make any offers or sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Shelf Registration except in a firm commitment underwritten public offering as
provided in Section 4.02.

 

(e)        If (A) the SEC issues a stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement or initiates proceedings with respect to the
Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act or
(B) the Board, in its good faith judgment, determines that the filing of a
Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, should be delayed (with respect to the initial filing or
otherwise), or offers and/or sales of Registrable Securities suspended (any such
delay or suspension, a “Permitted Delay”), because such delay or suspension (as
applicable) is necessary to (a) delay the disclosure of material non-public
information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not,
in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company,
(b) prevent the registration or public offering contemplated thereby from having
a material adverse effect on (i) a proposal or plan by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to engage in a material acquisition of assets or securities (other
than in the ordinary course of business), merger, consolidation, tender offer,
recapitalization, reorganization or other transaction, or (ii) the business,
operations or management of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (c) amend
or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related prospectus so
that such Registration Statement or prospectus shall not include 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 the case of the
Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which made, not misleading (a
“Valid Business Reason”):

 

(i)         in the case of clause (A) above, subject to clause (ii) below, as
promptly as reasonably practicable, the Company shall take such action as is
necessary to eliminate the stop order and, to the extent applicable, cause the
Registration Statement to become effective, including preparing and filing, if
necessary pursuant to applicable law, a post-effective amendment to such
Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document
incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document that would
be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement and related
prospectus so that (1) such Registration Statement does 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
(2) such prospectus does 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

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement, subject to the remainder of this Section 2.01(e), use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly
as is reasonably practicable;

 

(ii)        the Company shall promptly notify the Holders in writing of the
Permitted Delay (a “Deferral Notice”) and, subject to
Section 2.01(e)(iii) below, the expected duration of the Permitted Delay (such
period of the Permitted Delay, a “Deferral Period”).  Upon receipt of any
Deferral Notice, the Holders shall immediately suspend making any offers or
sales pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Holders are advised in
writing by the Company that the Registration Statement and the related
prospectus may be used for such purpose, and, if applicable, have received
copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus and any other additional or
supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference
in such prospectus; and

 

(iii)       the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
that the use of the Prospectus with respect to such Registration Statement may
be resumed (x) in the case of clause (A) above, as promptly as is reasonably
practicable and (y) in the case of clause (B) above, as soon as, in the
reasonable good faith judgment of the Company there is no Valid Business Reason
to continue such suspension and postponement.  The Company shall give written
notice to the Holders of the termination of the Deferral Period promptly
thereafter.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no
event shall (A) a single Deferral Period arising from a Valid Business Reason
exceed sixty (60) consecutive days, (B) a Deferral Period arising from a single
Valid Business Reason be invoked more than once in any six (6) month period, or
(C) the aggregate number of days included in Deferral Periods invoked by the
Company exceed ninety (90) days in any one (1) year period.

 

ARTICLE III.
PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.

 

Section 3.01.          Right to Piggyback.  Whenever, during the period
beginning on the date hereof and ending on the expiration of the Registration

Stock under the Securities Act in connection with a firm commitment underwritten
public offering of such shares of Parent Common Stock for cash and the
registration form to be used may be used for the registration of the Registrable
Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give written notice,
delivered at least 20 days prior to the initial filing of a Registration
Statement with the SEC, to the Holders of Registrable Securities of the

Securities of any other holders requested to be included in such registration
that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, or (ii) if a Piggyback
Registration is a firm commitment underwritten secondary registration solely on
behalf of holders of Other Securities (other than the Holders) and the managing
underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their good faith opinion,
the number of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration
exceeds the number or aggregate dollar amount of such securities that can be

share offering price), the Company will include in such registration: (a) first,
the Other Securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting
such registration, (b) second, the Other Securities that the Company proposes to

instructions of the Holders;

 

(o)        enter into such agreements (including underwriting agreements with
customary provisions) and take all such other actions as the Holders or the
managing underwriter(s), if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

 

(p)        in connection with an underwritten offering, obtain one or more
comfort letters, addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s) and dated the
date of the closing under the underwriting agreement for such offering, signed
by the independent public accountants who have issued an audit report on the
Company’s financial statements included in such Registration Statement in
customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by
comfort letters as such Holders reasonably request;

 

(q)        in connection with an underwritten offering, provide legal opinions
of the Company’s outside counsel (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and
substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriter(s))
addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s) and dated the date of the
closing under the underwriting agreement, with respect to the Registration
Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (including the preliminary
prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto, in customary form and
covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such
nature and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the managing
underwriter(s); and

 

(r)         use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken
all other actions, and do and cause to be done all other things, reasonably
necessary or reasonably advisable in the opinion of the Holders’ counsel to

Section 4.02.          Underwritten Offerings.

 

(a)        At any time that a Shelf Registration covering Registrable Securities
is effective, if the Required Holders deliver notice to the Company stating that
they intend to effect an underwritten offering of all or part of its Registrable
Securities included on the Shelf Registration (a “Demand Underwritten
Offering”), the Company shall amend or supplement

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Shelf Registration or related Prospectus as may be necessary in order to
enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the
underwritten offering.  The managing underwriter(s) to administer such
underwritten offering shall be chosen by the Required Holders; provided that the
chosen underwriters shall be of national reputation in the United States and
shall be subject to the prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld,
of the Company.  In connection with any underwritten offering, in the event that
the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company and the Holders in writing that,
in their good faith opinion, the total number or dollar amount of Registrable
Securities requested by the Holders to be included therein exceeds the largest
number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that can be sold in such
offering without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering
(including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Holders shall
include in such offering, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities
that each Holder has requested be included in such underwritten offering, only
such number of Registrable Securities that in the good faith opinion of such
underwriter(s) can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the
marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share
offering price).

 

(b)        In the case of any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities
registered under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Article II or
Article III, (i) all Registrable Securities shall be subject to the applicable
underwriting agreement with customary terms and the Holders may not participate
in such offering or registration unless such Holders agrees to sell such
Holders’ securities on the basis provided therein; and (ii) the Holders may not
participate in such offering or registration unless such Holders complete and
execute all questionnaires, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other
documents reasonably required by the managing underwriter(s) to be executed in
connection therewith, and provide such other information to the Company or the
underwriter(s) as may be reasonably requested to offer or register such Holders’
Registrable Securities; provided, however, that (A) no Holder shall be required
to make any representations or warranties other than, on a several and not joint
basis, those related to its title and ownership of, and power and authority to
transfer, the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder included therein and
as to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in the applicable
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document in reliance upon, and in
conformity with, written information about such Holder prepared and furnished to
the Company or the managing underwriter(s) specifically for inclusion in the
Registration Statement by such Holder pertaining exclusively to such Holder, and
(B) the aggregate amount of liability of each Holder pursuant to any
indemnification obligation thereunder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall
be on a several and not joint basis) shall not exceed the net proceeds received
by such Holder from such offering.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, (i) no
Demand Underwritten Offering may be requested prior to the first anniversary of
the Effective Time, (ii) the Company may delay the commencement of any Demand
Underwritten Offering for up to sixty (60) days for a Valid Business Reason
prior to the commencement of any marketing efforts or “road shows” by the
Company or the underwriters in connection with such Demand Underwritten
Offering, and (iii) the Holders shall have the right to request only a total of
up to four (4) Demand Underwritten Offerings; provided that no more than one
Demand Underwritten Offering may be requested in any six (6)-month period.  Any
Holders that request a Demand Underwritten Offering under this Section 4.02 may
revoke or withdraw such request upon written notice to the Company; provided
that any such Demand Underwritten Offering

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

withdrawn or not consummated for any reason shall be counted toward the total of
four (4) Demand Underwritten Offerings provided by this Section 4.02 and shall
be counted for determining the number of Demand Underwritten Offerings requested
in any six (6)-month period; provided, however, that no revoked or withdrawn
Demand Underwritten Offering shall be counted toward the total of four
(4) Demand Underwritten Offerings or for determining the number of Demand
Underwritten Offerings requested in any six (6)-month period if (1) the Holders
reimburse the Company for all of its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred
in connection with any such revoked or withdrawn Demand Underwritten Offering
incurred through the date of such revocation or withdrawal and (2) such
revocation or withdrawal shall have been made prior to the commencement of any
marketing efforts or “road shows” by the Company or the underwriters in
connection with such Demand Underwritten Offering.

in writing of the information, if any, the Company requires from each such
Holder if such Holder elects to have any of such Holder’s Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement or, with respect to an amendment or a
supplement, if such Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in such
Registration Statement (each an “Information Request”). It shall be a condition
precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a
particular Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company, in response to
an Information Request, such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable

the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the

by the Company of any Holder, such Holder shall certify as whether it is, or has
at any time during the preceding three (3) months been, an “affiliate” (as
defined in Rule 144) of the Company and provide such other information as may
reasonably be requested by the Company or its counsel for purposes of
determining whether the Registrable Securities held by such Holder may be freely

subject to the volume limitations and manner of sale restrictions contained
therein.

 

Section 5.04.          Lock-Up.  Each Holder agrees, in connection with any
underwritten offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement, if requested
(pursuant to a written notice) by the managing underwriter(s) not to effect any

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such shorter period as the managing underwriter(s) may permit) after the
effective date of the related Registration Statement (or date of the Prospectus
supplement if the offering is made pursuant to a “shelf” registration) (the
“Lock-Up Period”) pursuant to which such underwritten offering shall be made,
provided that all of the Company’s executive officers and directors and any
other holders of Parent Common Stock who are selling shares of Parent Common
Stock in such underwritten offering enter into similar agreements for the same
time period and on no less restrictive terms. In the event that either
(i) during the period that begins on the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days
plus three (3) Business Days before the last day of the Lock-Up Period and ends
on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or
material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or (ii) prior
to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will
release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of
the Lock-Up Period, the restrictions set forth herein will continue to apply
until the expiration of the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days plus three
Business Days after the date on which the earnings release is issued or the
material news or event related to the Company occurs.

 

ARTICLE VI.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all expenses incidental to the
Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including (i) all

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ARTICLE VII.
INDEMNIFICATION.

 

Section 7.01.          Indemnification by the Company.  The Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its officers, directors, agents,
partners, members, stockholders and employees, each Person who controls any such
Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such
controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”),
incurred, arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out
of or relating to any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein or supplement thereto, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the
extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information
regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company specifically for use
therein or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or
regulation promulgated thereunder in connection with or relating to any
registration required pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 7.02.          Indemnification by Holders.  Each Holder shall severally,
pro rata based on and limited by its relative ownership of Registrable
Securities, and not jointly with each other Holder, indemnify and hold harmless
the Company and its officers, directors, agents, partners, members, stockholders
and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the
officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all
Losses incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising
out of or relating to any omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein or in any supplement
thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are
based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company
specifically for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any selling
Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale
of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation (except
in the case of fraud or willful misconduct).

 

Section 7.03.          Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)        If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person
entitled to indemnification under this Article VII (an “Indemnified Party”),
such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom
indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the
Indemnifying Party shall be permitted to assume the defense thereof, including
the employment of counsel; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to
give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or
liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure
actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)        An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party
unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses,
(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such
claim and employ counsel for the defense of such claim or (iii) the Indemnified
Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest would exist
if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for
the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel at any time for all
Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Indemnifying Party may not
settle any proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless (1) such settlement
(1) involves only monetary damages payable solely by the Indemnifying Party and
(2) a term of such settlement is that the Person or Persons asserting such claim
unconditionally and irrevocably release the Indemnified Party from all liability
with respect to such proceeding.

 

ARTICLE VIII.
CONTRIBUTION.

 

Section 8.01.          Contribution.  (a)  If a claim for indemnification under
Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party, then each
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnifying Party as a result
of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the
actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any
other relevant considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been
taken or made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by, such
Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent and
knowledge.

 

(b)        The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8.01 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8.01(a).  Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 8.01, an Indemnifying Party that is a selling
Holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party is or could be required to
pay pursuant to Section 7.02 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.

Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly

promptly after such transfer or assignment, (ii) the Company is, promptly after
such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and
address of such transferee or assignee and (b) the securities with respect to
which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned,

of such Registrable Securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under
the Securities Act and (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the
written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or
assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions
contained herein.

 

ARTICLE XI.
AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Required
Holders, which for this purpose, shall be required to include each of Versa and

Agreement.

 

Section 12.04.        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and

become effective and binding upon each Holder when executed by the Holder and
the Company.  In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment

format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of
the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the
same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an

e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this

transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail
delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or
enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such
defense.

Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches

or showing actual damages, and this being in addition to any other remedy to
which they are entitled at law or in equity.

 

Section 12.12.        Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably agrees that all claims, controversies and disputes of any kind or
nature relating in any way to the enforcement or interpretation of this

herewith, shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court of the
United States located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware nor any such federal court has jurisdiction,
any other state court located in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and
unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees
that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the
actions contemplated by this Agreement in any court or tribunal other than the
aforesaid courts.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise,
in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and
obligations arising hereunder or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment

judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or
otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, any
claim that (a) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an
inconvenient forum, (b) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or (c) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or
by such courts.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that mailing of process or
other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner
provided in Section 12.01 or in such other manner as may be permitted by
applicable Laws, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.  Notwithstanding

proceeding in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose
of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

 

Section 12.13.        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
