Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such 



2







 




Demand
Registration covering at least 75% of the Registrable Securities specified in the notice received pursuant to Section 2.1.1 has been declared effective and the Company has complied with
all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand
Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a
majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second
Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated. 


        2.1.3    UNDERWRITTEN OFFERING.    If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so elect
and such holders so advise the Company as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form
of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall 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 Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the
holders initiating the Demand Registration. 


        2.1.4    REDUCTION OF OFFERING.    If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be
an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken
together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to
written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be
sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or
maximum number of shares, as applicable, the "MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES"), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand
Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Registrable Securities which such Demanding Holders have requested be included in such
registration, regardless of the number of shares held by such Demanding Holders) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum
Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the securities as to which a DBSI Demand Registration has been made that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that
the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the
foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the shares of Common Stock for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with
such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (v) fifth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares have not been reached under the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the shares of Common Stock that other shareholders desire to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares to 



3







 




the
extent that the Company, in its sole discretion, wishes to permit such sales pursuant to this clause (v). 



        2.1.5    WITHDRAWAL.    If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the
terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to
withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with
the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand
Registration, then such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1.1. 




        2.2    PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION.    



        2.2.1    PIGGY-BACK RIGHTS.    If at any time on or after the Release Date the Company proposes to
file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into,
equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant
to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of
securities solely to the Company's existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment
plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days
before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed
managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of
shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a "PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATION"). The Company shall cause
such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to
permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to
permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute
their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or
Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration. 


        2.2.2    REDUCTION OF OFFERING.    If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back
Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock which the
Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the holders
of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which
registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual 



4







 




piggy-back

be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable
Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2 and the securities as to which piggy-back registration has been requested under Section 2.2 of
the DBSI Registration Rights Agreement (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Registrable Securities and securities each holder has actually requested to be included in such
registration, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to
which such persons have the right to request such inclusion) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (c) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not
been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration
rights of other security holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares such person has actually requested to be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares of Common

(B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires
to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses

requested under Section 2.2 of the DBSI Registration Rights Agreement (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares such person has actually requested to be included in such registration,
regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock with respect such person has the right to request inclusion); and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been
reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back

other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls an
Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an "INVESTOR INDEMNIFIED
PARTY"), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement)
of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of 


9







 



such
Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company
in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified
Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to
the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the
Company, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein. 


        4.2    INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES.    Each selling holder of Registrable Securities will, in
the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against
any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the
Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon
any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling
holder's indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount
of any net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such selling holder. 


        4.3    CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS.    Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss,
claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such
Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any
claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other
Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its
election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the
Indemnified Party 


10







 



in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as
defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be
subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid
by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending
or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or
settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding. 


        4.4    CONTRIBUTION.    



        4.4.1    If
the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability
or action referred to herein, then each such 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 loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions
or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying
Party shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such
Indemnifying Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 


        4.4.2    The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by PRO RATA allocation or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section. 


        4.4.3    The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after
payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. 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. 




5.    UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.    


        5.1    RULE 144.    The Company covenants that it shall use its best efforts to file any reports required to be filed
by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to
enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the 


11







 



Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter
adopted by the Commission. 


        6.    MISCELLANEOUS.    


        6.1    OTHER REGISTRATION RIGHTS.    The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a holder of the
Registrable Securities and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. has any right to require the Company to register any shares of the Company's capital stock for sale or to include shares of the Company's
capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account or for the account of any other person. 



        6.2    ASSIGNMENT; NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.    This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the
Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be
freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder. This Agreement and the
provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and their respective successors and the permitted assigns of the Investor or holder of Registrable
Securities or of any assignee of the Investor or holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not party hereto other than
as expressly set forth in Article 4 and this Section 6.2. 


        6.3    NOTICES.    All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications (collectively,
"NOTICES") required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally served, delivered by reputable air courier service
with charges prepaid, or transmitted by hand delivery, telegram, telex or facsimile, addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written
notice. Notice shall be deemed given on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram, telex or facsimile; PROVIDED, that if such service or transmission is not
on a business day or is after normal business hours, then such notice shall be deemed given on the next business day. Notice otherwise sent as provided herein shall be deemed given on the next
business day following timely delivery of such notice to a reputable air courier service with an order for next-day delivery.

        6.4    SEVERABILITY.    This Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term
or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or
provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid
and enforceable. 


        6.5    COUNTERPARTS.    This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 


        6.6    ENTIRE AGREEMENT.    This Agreement (including all agreements entered into pursuant hereto and all certificates
and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions between the parties, whether oral or written.

upon any party unless executed in writing by such party. This Agreement cannot be amended or modified in any way that would adversely affect Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. without the prior written

not affect the construction of any provision of this Agreement. 


        6.9    WAIVERS AND EXTENSIONS.    Any party to this Agreement may waive any right, breach or default which such party
has the right to waive, PROVIDED that such waiver will not be effective against the waiving party unless it is in writing, is signed by such party, and specifically refers to this Agreement. Waivers
may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein

specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any
other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be
mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at
law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. 


        6.11    GOVERNING LAW.    This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed within the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice-of-law provisions
thereof that would compel the application of the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. 



        6.12    WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.    Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to a trial by
jury in any action, suit, counterclaim or other proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby, or the actions of the Investor in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement hereof.
