Monday, August 11, 2003.MAX







  






 


(b)         Registrable Securities. For the purposes of this Agreement, Registrable Securities will cease to be Registrable Securities, when (i) a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, (ii) (x) the entire amount of the Registrable Securities may be sold in a single sale, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and the Designated Holder, each in their reasonable judgment, without any limitation as to volume pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision then in effect) under the Securities Act and (y) the Designated Holder owning such Registrable Securities owns less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, or (iii) the Registrable Securities are proposed to be sold or distributed by a Person not entitled to the registration rights granted by this Agreement.

3.         Demand Registration.


 


(a)         Request for Demand Registration. At any time commencing after the end of the applicable lock-up period following the IPO Effectiveness Date, the holders of 25% of the shares of common stock held by General Atlantic and the Major Stockholders, collectively (the "Initiating Holders"), may make a written request to the Company to register, and the Company shall register, under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor thereto) (a "Demand Registration"), the number of Registrable Securities stated in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than one such Demand Registration for the Initiating Holders. For purposes of the preceding sentence, two or more Registration Statements filed in response to one demand shall be counted as one Demand Registration. If the Board of Directors of the Company, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because it would materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other material transaction involving the Company (a "Valid Business Reason"), the Company may (x) postpone filing a registration statement relating to a Demand Registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than ninety (90) days, and (y) in case a registration statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, if the Valid Business Reason has not resulted from actions taken by the Company, the Company, upon the approval of a majority of the Company's Board of Directors, such majority to include the General Atlantic Director (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), may cause such registration statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such registration statement. The Company shall give written notice of its determination to postpone or withdraw a registration statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone or withdraw a filing under this Section 3(a) more than once in any twelve (12) month period. Each request for a Demand Registration by the Initiating Holders shall state the amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof.

(b)         Incidental or "Piggy-Back" Rights with Respect to a Demand Registration. Each of the Designated Holders (other than Initiating Holders which have requested a registration under Section 3(a)) may offer its or his Registrable Securities under any Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3(b). Within five (5) days after the receipt of a request for a Demand Registration from an initiating Holder, the Company shall (i) give written notice thereof to all of the Designated Holders (other than Initiating Holders which have requested a registration under Section 3(a)) and (ii) subject to Section 3(e), include in such registration all of the Registrable Securities held by such Designated Holders from whom the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within ten (10) days of the receipt by such Designated Holders of such written notice referred to in clause (i) above. Each such request by such Designated Holders shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered. The failure of any Designated Holder to respond within such 10-day period referred to in clause (ii) above shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Designated Holders rights under this Section 3 with respect to such Demand Registration. Any Designated Holder may waive its rights under this Section 3 prior to the expiration of such 10-day period by giving written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Initiating Holders. If a Designated Holder sends the Company a written request for inclusion of part or all of such Designated Holders Registrable Securities in a registration, such Designated Holder shall not be entitled to withdraw or revoke such request without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion unless, as a result of facts or circumstances arising after the date on which such request was made relating to the Company or to market conditions, such Designated Holder reasonably determines that participation in such registration would have a material adverse effect on such Designated Holder.

(c)          Effective Demand Registration. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to become and remain effective not later than sixty (60) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration until it has become effective and remains continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold and (ii) 120 days; provided, however, that a registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration if (x) after such Demand Registration has become effective, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to the Initiating Holders and such interference is not thereafter eliminated or (y) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure by the Initiating Holder.


 


(d)          Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with a Demand Registration, whether or not such Demand Registration becomes effective.

(e)          Underwriting Procedures. If the Company or the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all of the Initiating Holders so elect, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Demand Registration to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering shall be the Approved Underwriter selected in accordance with Section 3(f). In connection with any Demand Registration under this Section 3 involving an underwritten offering, none of the Registrable Securities held by any Designated Holder making a request for inclusion of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof shall be included in such underwritten offering unless such Designated Holder accepts the terms of the offering as agreed upon by the Company, the Initiating Holders and the Approved Underwriter, and then only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of the Approved Underwriter, jeopardize the success of such offering by the Initiating Holders. If the Approved Underwriter advises the Company that the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering, then the Company shall include in such registration only the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities that the Approved Underwriter believes may be sold without any such material adverse effect and shall reduce the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, first as to the Company, second as to the Designated Holders (who are not Initiating Holders and who requested to participate in such registration pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof) as a group, if any, and third as to the Initiating Holders as a group, pro rata within each group based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Designated Holder or Initiating Holder, as the case may be.

(c)           Remedies and Termination. The Designated Holders, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of their rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. This Agreement may be terminated by any of the Major Stockholders by giving written notice to the Company and General Atlantic in the event General Atlantic has failed to purchase additional shares of Preferred Stock when required to do so pursuant to Section 2.5(b) of the Stock Purchase Agreement and such breach remains uncured after General Atlantic has been given written notice and five (5) business days to cure such breach.




 


(d)          Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless consented to in writing by (i) the Company, (ii) the General Atlantic Stockholders holding Registrable Securities representing (after giving effect to any adjustments) at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all of the General Atlantic Stockholders and (iii) the Major Stockholders holding Registrable Securities representing (after giving effect to any adjustments) at least a majority of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all of the Major Stockholders. Any such written consent shall be binding upon the Company and all of the Designated Holders.
