Section II

Piggyback Registration Rights




     2.1 If the Investor exercises any portion of the Warrant, and thereafter the Corporation
proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering for
its own account of any class of its equity securities (other than a registration statement on Form
S-8 (or any successor form) or any other registration statement relating solely to employee benefit
plans or filed in connection with an exchange offer, a transaction to which Rule 145 (or any
successor provision) under the Securities Act applies or an offering of securities solely to the
Corporation’s existing shareholders), then the Corporation shall in each case give written notice
of such proposed filing to the Holder as soon as practicable (but no later than 20 business days)
before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer each Holder the opportunity to
register such number of shares of Restricted Stock as such Holder may request. Each Holder desiring
to have Restricted Stock included in such registration statement shall so advise the Corporation in
writing within 10 business days after the date on which the Corporation’s notice is so given,
setting forth the number of shares of Restricted Stock for which registration is requested. If the
Corporation’s offering is to be an underwritten offering, the Corporation shall, subject to the
further provisions of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing
underwriter or underwriters to permit the Holders of the Restricted Stock requested to be included
in the registration for such offering to include such Restricted Stock in such offering on the same
terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Corporation included therein. The right of
each Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 4 in connection with an underwritten offering
by the Corporation shall, unless the Corporation otherwise assents, be conditioned upon such
Holder’s participation as a seller in such underwritten offering and its execution of an
underwriting agreement with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected by the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering deliver
a written opinion to the Corporation that either because of (a) the kind of securities that the
Corporation, the Holders and any other persons or entities intend to include in such offering or
(b) the size of the offering that the Corporation, the Holders and any other persons or entities
intend to make, the success of the offering would be materially and adversely affected by inclusion
of the Restricted Stock requested to be included, then (i) in the event that the size of the
offering is the basis of such managing underwriter’s opinion, the number of shares of Restricted
Stock to be registered and offered for the accounts of Holders shall be reduced pro rata on the
basis of the number of securities requested by such Holders to be registered and offered to the
extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the
amount recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters (provided that if securities are
being registered and offered for the account of other persons or entities in addition to the
Corporation, such reduction shall not be proportionally greater than any similar reductions imposed
on such other persons or entities) and (ii) in the event that the combination of securities to be
offered is the basis of such managing underwriters opinion, (x) the Restricted Stock to be
included in such registration and offering shall be reduced as described in clause (i) above or (y)
if such actions would, in the reasonable judgment of the managing underwriter, be insufficient to
substantially eliminate the adverse effect that inclusion of the Restricted Stock requested to be
included would have on such offering, such Restricted Stock will be excluded entirely from such
registration and offering. Any Restricted Stock excluded from an underwriting shall, if
applicable, be withdrawn



      



					
	Piggyback Registration Rights Agreement-
	 	 
	 	Page-3






 









 




from registration and shall not, without the consent of the Corporation, be transferred in a public
distribution prior to the earlier of ninety (90) days (or such other shorter period of time as the
managing underwriter may require) after the effective date of the registration statement or ninety
(90) days after the date the Holders of such Restricted Stock are notified of such exclusion.




Section III

Registration Procedures




     3.1 Whenever Holders of Restricted Stock have requested pursuant to Section 2.1 that any
Restricted Stock be registered, the Corporation shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3
hereof, use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale or distribution of
such Restricted Stock in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as promptly as
practicable, and in connection with any such request, the Corporation shall:



(a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a registration
statement on any form for which the Corporation then qualifies and which counsel for the
Corporation shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale or
distribution of such Restricted Stock in accordance with the intended method of distribution
thereof, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become
effective; provided that, (i) before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto, the Corporation will furnish to one counsel selected by
the Holders of a majority of the shares of Restricted Stock covered by such registration
statement copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject
to the review and comment of such counsel and (ii) after the filing of the registration
statement, the Corporation shall promptly notify each Selling Holder of Restricted Stock of
any stop order issued or, to the knowledge of the Corporation, threatened by the Securities
and Exchange Commission and take all reasonable actions to prevent the entry of such stop
order or to remove it if entered;



(b) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith
as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less
than ninety (90) days or such shorter period as shall terminate when the distribution of all
Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement shall have terminated (but not
before the expiration of the ninety day (90) period referred to in Section 4(3) of the
Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable) and comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the Selling Holders thereof set forth in such registration statement;



(c) as soon as reasonably practicable, furnish to each Selling Holder, prior to filing
a registration statement, copies of such registration statement as proposed to be filed and
thereafter furnish to such Selling Holder such number of copies of such registration
statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such
registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other




      



					
	Piggyback Registration Rights Agreement-
	 	 
	 	Page-4






 









 






documents as such Selling Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Restricted Stock owned by such Selling Holder;




     (d) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Restricted Stock under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States and Canada as any
Selling Holder reasonably (in light of such Selling Holder’s intended plan of distribution)
requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions
of the Restricted Stock owned by such Selling Holder; provided that the Corporation shall
not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business or file a general consent to service
of process in any jurisdiction or (ii) take any action that would subject itself to taxation
in any such jurisdiction;




     (e) promptly notify each Selling Holder of such Restricted Stock, at any time when a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the
occurrence of any event known to the Corporation requiring the preparation of a supplement
or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers or
recipients of such Restricted Stock, such prospectus will not contain an 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 promptly make available to each
Selling Holder any such supplement or amendment;




     (f) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, the form and substance of
such underwriting agreement being subject to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation
and a majority in interest of the Selling Holders;




     (g) make available for inspection by any Selling Holder, any underwriter participating
in any sale or distribution pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by any such Selling Holder or underwriter (collectively,
the “Inspectors”) all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Corporation (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary
to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Corporation’s
officers and employees to supply all information reasonably requested for such purpose by
any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement; provided that the
Corporation shall have no obligation to permit such access to the Records or its officers or
employees in a manner that would unreasonably disrupt the normal conduct of its business
operations. Each such Selling Holder and Inspector that actually reviews Records supplied by
the Corporation that include information that the Corporation identifies, in good faith, as
being confidential or proprietary (“Confidential Information”) shall be required at the
Corporation’s option, prior to any such review, to execute an agreement with the Corporation
providing that such Inspector shall not publicly disclose any Confidential Information
unless such disclosure is required by applicable law or legal process and shall not use
such information for any purpose other than the limited purpose contemplated by this
subsection (g). Each such Selling Holder and Inspector shall be required further to agree
that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of Confidential Information is sought in a
court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to



      



					
	Piggyback Registration Rights Agreement-
	 	 
	 	Page-5






 









 






the Corporation and allow the Corporation, at its expense, to undertake appropriate
action to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information;




     (h) in the event such sale is pursuant to an underwritten offering, use its reasonable
best efforts to obtain a comfort letter or letters from the Corporation’s independent public
accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by
comfort letters as the managing underwriter reasonably requests; and




     (i) otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and make available to its security
holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement complying with the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (including, at the option of the
Corporation, pursuant to Rule 158 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act).


Upon receipt of any notice from the Corporation of the occurrence of any event of the kind
described in subsection (e) hereof, such Selling Holder shall forthwith discontinue all offerings,
sales and other dispositions of Restricted Stock pursuant to the registration statement covering
such Restricted Stock until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (e) hereof. In the event the Corporation shall give
any such notice, the Corporation shall extend the period during which such registration statement
shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (including the period referred to in
subsection (b) hereof) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the
giving of such notice pursuant to subsection (b) hereof to and including the first date on which
each Selling Holder of Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement shall have received
the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (e) hereof. Each
Selling Holder shall notify the Corporation if any event relating to such Selling Holder occurs
which would require the preparation of a supplement or amendment to the prospectus so that such
prospectus will not contain 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 not misleading.




Section IV

Conditions and Limitations.




     4.1 The Corporation’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be subject to the Corporation
having received the information and documents specified in Section 5 hereof and each Selling Holder
shall have observed or performed its other covenants contained in Sections 5 and 7 hereof.



     4.2 The Corporation’s obligation under Section 4 hereof shall be subject to the limitations
and conditions specified in such section, and to the condition that the Corporation may at any time

Restricted Stock that would otherwise have been eligible for inclusion in such registration.

agents retained by such Selling Holder and all other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such
Selling Holder in connection with any registration under this Agreement.

	Piggyback Registration Rights Agreement-
	 	 
	 	Page-7






 









 




Selling Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) arising out of or based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or
prospectus relating to Restricted Stock or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus relating to Restricted Stock or arising out of or based upon any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of, or are
based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
based upon information furnished in writing to the Corporation by such Selling Holder or on such
Selling Holder’s behalf expressly for use therein. In connection with any underwritten offering of
Restricted Stock registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation shall cause to be included
in any underwriting agreement with the underwriters of such offering provisions indemnifying and
providing for contribution to such underwriters and their officers and directors and each person
who controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as the provisions of this Section
7.1 indemnifying and providing for contribution to the Selling Holders.




     7.2 Indemnification by Holders of Restricted Stock. In connection with any offering
of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement, each Selling Holder, severally and not jointly,
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation, its officers, directors and agents and each
person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and, in accordance with industry practice, in the
case of an offering of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement, each underwriter of such
Restricted Stock if requested by such underwriter, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) arising
out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained
in any registration statement or prospectus relating to Restricted Stock or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to Restricted Stock, or arising out of
or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, provided that (i) such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses arise out of, or are based upon, any such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission based upon information furnished in writing to the
Corporation by such Selling Holder or on such Selling Holder’s behalf expressly for use therein and
(ii) no Selling Holder shall be liable for any indemnification under this Section 7.2 in an
aggregate amount which exceeds the total net proceeds received by such Selling Holder from such
offering. In connection with any underwritten offering of Restricted Stock registered pursuant to
this Agreement, each Selling Holder shall cause to be included in any underwriting agreement with
the underwriters of such offering provisions indemnifying and providing for contribution to such
underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters on
substantially the same basis as the provisions of this Section 4.6(b) indemnifying and providing
for contribution to the Corporation.

     7.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any action or proceeding (including
any governmental investigation) shall be brought or asserted against any indemnified party
hereunder in respect of which indemnity may be sought from an indemnifying party hereunder, such
indemnifying party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and shall assume the payment of all expenses. Such
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to
participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expenses of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees
and expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or
proceeding and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, or (iii) the named
parties to any such action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such
indemnified party and such indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall have been advised
by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which
are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case, if
such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right
to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such indemnified party; it being
understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action
or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel)
at any time for such indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by such
indemnified party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party). The indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding erected without its written
consent, but if settled with its written consent, or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff
in any such action or proceeding, the indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of
such settlement or judgment.



     7.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is
unavailable to the Corporation or the Selling Holders in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or judgments 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 losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each such party in connection with
such statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of each such 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
party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Corporation and the Selling Holders agree that
it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4(d) 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 sentences. The amount paid or
payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
judgments referred to in the immediately preceding sentences shall be deemed to include, subject to
the



      



					
	Piggyback Registration Rights Agreement-
	 	 
	 	Page-9






 









 




limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claims.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4(d), no Selling Holder shall be required to
contribute an amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Restricted Stock
of such Selling Holder was offered to the public exceeds the amount of any fee which such Selling
Holder has otherwise been required to pay 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 is
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
