Prospectus Date, the Holders of at least twenty-five per cent (25%) of the then outstanding
number of Registrable Securities (the “Demanding Holders”) may make a written demand for
Registration of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the then outstanding number of Registrable
Securities, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be
included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written
demand a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall, within ten (10) days of the Company’s
receipt of the Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable
Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to
include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to
a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities in such Registration, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the
Company, in writing, within five (5) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from
the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting
Holder(s) to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their
Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the
Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty five (45)
days immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, the Registration of
all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant
such the Demand Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect
more than an aggregate of three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration under this
subsection 2.1.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided,
however, that a Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Form S-1
or any similar long-form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form
S-1”) has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting
Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting Holders in such Form S-1 Registration
have been sold, in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement.




          2.1.2 Effective Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection
2.1.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand
Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement
filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has
been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its
obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further, that
if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable
Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with
by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other
governmental agency the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall 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



-5-









 






the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect
to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no
event later than five (5) days, of such election; provided, further, that the
Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the
Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant
to a Demand Registration becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.




          2.1.3 Underwritten Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection
2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, if a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders
so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an
Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any)
to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such
Holder’s participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s
Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such
Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering
under this subsection 2.1.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the
majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration.




          2.1.4 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or
Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration, in good faith,

Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Stock or
other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock, if any, as to
which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back
registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum
dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten
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 such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the
Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable
Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the
number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has
requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be

clause (i), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their

with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

Holders initiating a Demand Registration or a majority-in-interest of the Requesting Holders
(if any), pursuant to a Registration under subsection 2.1.1 shall have the right to
withdraw from a Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration for any or no reason
whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if
any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to the effectiveness of the

Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the

incurred in connection a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its

other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for
its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by
the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1
hereof), 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 stockholders, (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 give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated
filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) 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, in such offering,
and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the
sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within
five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback

included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing
Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable
Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a
Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the
Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such
Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All

Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an

shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever
upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his,
her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback
Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a
request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may
withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback

Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the
resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form
registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-3”); provided,
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such request through an
Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a
Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall
promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration on Form S-3 to all other Holders of
Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include
all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration on Form S-3 shall so
notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice
from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not more than twelve (12) days after the

register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such
written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or
Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder
or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect
any such Registration pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof if (i) a Form S-3 is not available for
such offering; or (ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any
other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell
the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the
public of less than $10,000,000.

receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and it continues to actively

to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company
and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer;
or (C) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to
the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such
Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a
certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the
Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed
in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration
Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of
not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer
its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12 month period. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Registration shall be effected or permitted and no
Registration Statement shall become effective, with respect to any Registrable Securities held by
any Holder, until after the expiration of the Founder Lock-Up Period or the Sponsor Lock-Up Period,
as the case may be.

Statement 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 a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in
Section 3.4 hereof;



-11-









 






          3.1.10 permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney
or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s
own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration;
provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a
confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior
to the release or disclosure of any such information;




          3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public
accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration, in customary form and covering such
matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter
may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the
participating Holders;




          3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such
Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the
purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent,
if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the
Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent,
sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such
opinions, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;




          3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of
such offering;




          3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an
earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first
day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration
Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
thereunder;




          3.1.15 if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving
gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior
executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be
reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and




          3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary
actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.



     3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be
borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all
incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’



-12-









 




commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set
forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal
counsel representing the Holders.




     3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may
participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a
Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii)
completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up
agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.



     3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the
Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders
shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a
supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the
Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable
after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of
the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a
Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make
an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial
statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the
Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or
initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of
time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be
necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding
sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to
above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or
offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the
expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.



     3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities,
the Company, at all times while it shall be reporting under the Exchange Act, covenants to file
timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all
reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all
such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder
may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell
shares of the Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within
the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act,
including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver
to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied
with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION




     4.1 Indemnification.




          4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of
Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of
material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or
any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing
to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the
Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing
with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.




          4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable
Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such
information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any
such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify
the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company
(within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any
untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or
preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any
information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein;
provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not
joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each
such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net
proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the
Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with
respect to indemnification of the Company.




          4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice
to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification
(provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to
indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the
indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict
of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such
claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of



-14-









 






such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such
defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to,
assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim,
unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to
the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects
by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the
terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from
all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.




          4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or
any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the
transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating
in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any
indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s
indemnification is unavailable for any reason.




          4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the
indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in
respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the 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 to state
a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party
or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action;
provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection
4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such
offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of
the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any
legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 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 this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be



-15-









 






entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.



ARTICLE V

case of mailed notices, on the third business day following the date on which it is mailed and, in
the case of notices delivered by courier service, hand delivery, telecopy, telegram or facsimile,
at such time as it is delivered to the addressee (with the delivery receipt or the affidavit of
messenger) or at such time as delivery is refused by the addressee upon presentation. Any notice
or communication under this Agreement must be addressed to the addressee at: 111 Huntington
Avenue, Suite 2900, Boston, Massachusetts 02199, or by facsimile at: (617) 753-1101. Any party
may change its address for notice at any time and from time to time by written notice to the other
parties hereto, and such change of address shall become effective thirty (30) days after delivery
of such notice as provided in this Section 5.1.



     5.2 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.




          5.2.1 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. Prior to the expiration of
the Founder Lock-Up Period or the Sponsor Lock-Up Period, as the case may be, no Holder may
assign or delegate their rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement in whole or in
part.




          5.2.2 Except as set forth in subsection 5.2.1 hereof, this Agreement and the
rights, duties and obligations of the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may be
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.




          5.2.3 This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of each of the parties and its successors and the permitted assigns of the
Holders.




          5.2.4 This Agreement shall not confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not
parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and Section 5.2
hereof.




          5.2.5 No assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations
hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until the Company shall
have received (i) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 5.1 hereof
and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which may be



-16-









 






accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer
or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 5.2 shall be null and void.



     5.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including
facsimile or PDF counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which
together shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.



     5.4 Governing Law; Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE
EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS AMONG
DELAWARE RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.



     5.5 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the
Holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the Registrable Securities at the
time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this
Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or
modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment
hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of
the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other
Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of
dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the
part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial
exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or
preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.



     5.6 Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person,
other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any
securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration
filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other
person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other
registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a
conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
shall prevail.



     5.7 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and the registration rights granted
hereunder shall expire on the date that is five (5) years after the Prospectus Date;
provided, that such termination and expiration shall not affect registration rights
exercised prior to such date.
