MANAGEMENT
SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

This Management Services
Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of October 6, 2005
by and among Newton Acquisition Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(together with its subsidiaries, “MergerSub”), Newton Acquisition, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Newton”, and together with MergerSub, the “Companies”),
TPG GenPar IV, L.P., TPG GenPar III, L.P. (“TPG”) and Warburg Pincus LLC
(“Warburg”, together with TPG, the “Managers”).

 

WHEREAS, each of the
Companies will engage in a transaction in which MergerSub will merge with and
into The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Neiman
Marcus”), with Neiman Marcus surviving (the “Merger”) pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 1, 2005 (as amended from
time to time, the “Merger Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Companies
wish to retain the Managers to provide certain management and advisory services
to the Companies, and the Managers are willing to provide such services on the
terms set forth below.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             Services.  Each of the Managers hereby agrees that,
during the term of this Agreement (the “Term”), it will provide the
following consulting and advisory services to the Companies as reasonably
requested from time to time by the Companies:

 

(a)           advice in connection with the negotiation and consummation
of agreements, contracts, documents and instruments necessary to provide the
Companies with financing on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Companies;

 

(b)           advice in connection with acquisition, disposition and
change of control transactions involving any of the Companies or any of their
direct or indirect subsidiaries or any of their respective successors;

 

(c)           financial, managerial and operational advice in connection
with day-to-day operations, including, without limitation, advice with respect
to the development and implementation of strategies for improving the
operating, marketing and financial performance of the Companies; and

 

(d)           such other services (which may include financial and
strategic planning and analysis, consulting services, human resources and executive
recruitment services and other services) as such Manager and the Companies may
from time to time agree in writing.

 

Each of the Managers will devote such time and efforts
to the performance of the services contemplated hereby as such Manager deems reasonably
necessary or appropriate; provided, however, that no minimum
number of hours is required to be devoted by any Manager on a 

 

 

weekly, monthly, annual
or other basis.  The Companies
acknowledge that each of the Manager’s services are not exclusive to the
Companies and that each Manager may render similar services to other persons
and entities.  The Managers and the
Companies understand that the Companies may at times engage one or more
investment bankers or financial advisers to provide services in addition to,
but not in lieu of, services provided by the Managers under this Agreement; provided
that any such engagement will be made pursuant to the terms of the Amended and
Restated Limited Liability Operating Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) of
Newton Holding, LLC (“Holding”) among affiliates of the Managers and
certain other parties.  In providing
services to the Companies, each Manager will act as an independent contractor
and it is expressly understood and agreed that this Agreement is not intended
to create, and does not create, any partnership, agency, joint venture or
similar relationship and that no party has the right or ability to contract for
or on behalf of any other party or to effect any transaction for the account of
any other party.

 

2.             Payment
of Fees.

 

(a)           On the
date hereof, the Companies, jointly and severally, will pay to TPG (or such
affiliates as they may designate) a transaction fee (the “Transaction Fee”)
of $25,000,000.

 

(b)           During the
Term, the Companies, jointly and severally, will pay to the Managers an
aggregate annual Monitoring Fee (the “Monitoring Fee”) equal to the
lesser of (i) 0.25% of the consolidated annual revenue of the Companies
and (ii) $10,000,000 as compensation for the services provided by the
Managers under this Agreement, such fee being payable by the Companies
quarterly in arrears.  The Monitoring Fee
will be divided between the Managers as follows (i) TPG will be entitled
to 50% and (ii) Warburg will be entitled to 50%.  The percentages set forth in the preceding
sentence are herein referred to as the “Relative Interests”.

 

(c)           During the Term, the Managers will advise the Companies in
connection with financing, acquisition, disposition and change of control
transactions involving the Companies or any of their direct or indirect
subsidiaries (however structured), and the Companies will pay to the Managers
an aggregate fee (the “Subsequent Fee”) in connection with each such
transaction equal to customary fees charged by internationally-recognized
investment banks for serving as a financial advisor in similar transactions,
such fee to be due and payable for the foregoing services at the closing of
such transaction.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Subsequent Fee in respect of any transaction will exceed one percent
(1%) of the gross transaction value of such transaction as reasonably
determined by the Managers.  Each
Subsequent Fee will be divided between the Managers in proportion to their
Relative Interests.

 

(d)           The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that an objective of the Companies is to maximize value
for their direct and indirect equity holders, which may include the
consummation by either of the Companies, one or more of their subsidiaries or
any of their successors of a qualified public offering (an “QPO”), as
such term is defined in the LLC Agreement, or the sale of either of the
Companies or their successors (through merger or otherwise) or a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of either of the Companies or their successors
(any such sale transaction, a “Sale”). 
The services provided to the Companies by the 

 

2

 

Managers will help to facilitate the
consummation of a QPO or Sale, should the Companies determine to pursue such a
transaction.  In the event a QPO or Sale
is consummated, the Companies will pay in cash on the date of consummation of
such QPO or Sale (in lieu of any Subsequent Fee) an aggregate success fee (the “Success
Fee”) in an amount equal to the product of (i) $10,000,000 and (ii) 50%
of (x) the Total Enterprise Value of the Companies divided by (y) the Companies’
consolidated
EBITDA for the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters.  For such calculation, EBITDA will be the
consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of
the Companies (excluding extraordinary gains and losses) derived by the
Managers from the Companies’ consolidated statement of earnings for such period.  The Success Fee will be divided between the
Managers in proportion to their Relative Interests.  For purposes of this provision, “Total
Enterprise Value” means the enterprise value of the Companies and their
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as determined by the Managers in their
reasonable discretion, using customary and appropriate valuation methodologies.

 

(e)           Each
payment made pursuant to this Section 2 will be paid by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the accounts specified on Schedule 1
hereto, or to such other account(s) as the Managers may specify to the
Companies in writing prior to such payment. 
In the event of a QPO or a Sale that includes non-cash consideration,
each Manager may elect to receive all or any portion of its fee in the form of
such non-cash consideration, valued at the sale price.

 

3.             Deferral.  Any fee that would have been payable to the
Managers pursuant to Section 2 above absent the restrictions, if any, in
any financing or similar agreements (the “Financing Documents”)
applicable to the Companies (the “Deferred Fees”) will accrue upon the
immediately succeeding period in which such amounts could, consistent with the
Financing Documents, be paid, and will be paid in such succeeding period (in
addition to such other amounts that would otherwise be payable at such time) in
the manner set forth in Section 2.

 

4.             Term.  This Agreement will continue in full force
and effect unless terminated by the unanimous consent of the Managers; provided
that this agreement will terminate automatically upon the consummation of a QPO
or a Sale that constitutes a Sale of the Companies taken as a whole or all or
substantially all the assets of the Companies taken as a whole (in each case,
following payment of the Success Fee); provided, further, that
the termination of this Agreement will not relieve a party from liability for
any breach of this Agreement on or prior to such termination.  In the event of a termination of this
Agreement, the Companies will pay the Managers (or its designees) all unpaid
Transaction Fees (pursuant to Section 2(a) above), Monitoring Fees
(pursuant to Section 2(b) above), Subsequent Fees (pursuant to Section 2(c) above),
Deferred Fees (pursuant to Section 3 above) and expenses (pursuant to Section 5(a) below)
due with respect to periods prior to the date of termination.  This Section 4, Section 5 and Section 9
will survive termination of this Agreement.

 

5.             Expenses;
Indemnification.

 

(a)           Expenses.  The Companies, jointly and severally, will
pay to the Managers (or their respective designees) on demand all Reimbursable
Expenses.  As used herein, “Reimbursable
Expenses” means (i) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred from and after
the consummation of the merger (the “Closing Date”) relating to the
services provided by the 

 

3

 

Managers or their
respective affiliates to the Companies or any of their affiliates from time to
time (including, without limitation, all air travel (by first class on a
commercial airline or by charter, as determined by the appropriate Manager) and
other travel related expenses), (ii) all out-of-pocket legal expenses
incurred by any Managers or their respective affiliates from and after Closing
Date in connection with the enforcement of rights or taking of actions under
this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any related documents or instruments;
and (iii) all expenses incurred from and after the Closing Date by the
Managers and their respective affiliates which are properly allocable to the
Companies under this Agreement.

 

(b)           Indemnity
and Liability.  The Companies,
jointly and severally, will indemnify, exonerate and hold each of the Managers,
and each of their respective partners, shareholders, members, affiliates,
directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling persons, employees and
agents and each of the partners, shareholders, members, affiliates, directors,
officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling persons, employees and agents of
each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) free and
harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims,
liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection
therewith (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees
or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), arising out of any action, cause of action, suit,
arbitration, investigation or claim arising out of, or in any way relating to (i) this
Agreement, the Merger Agreement, any transaction to which any of the Companies
is a party or any other circumstances with respect to any of the Companies or (ii) operations
of, or services provided by any of the Managers to, the Companies, or any of
their respective affiliates from time to time; provided  that the
foregoing indemnification rights will not be available to the extent that any
such Indemnified Liabilities arose on account of such Indemnitee’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct; and further  provided that if
and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or
unenforceable for any reason, the Companies hereby agree to make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified
Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.  For purposes of this Section 5(b), none
of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the two provisos
in the immediately preceding sentence will be deemed to apply absent a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in
which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any
Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the
Companies, then such payments will be promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the
Companies without interest.  The rights
of any Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other
rights any such person may have under any other agreement or instrument
referenced above or any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee
is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or
regulation.

 

6.             Disclaimer
and Limitation of Liability; Opportunities.

 

(a)           Disclaimer;
Standard of Care.  None of the
Managers makes any representations or warranties, express or implied, in
respect of the services to be provided by the Managers hereunder.  In no event will the Managers or Indemnitees
be liable to the Companies or any of their respective affiliates for any act,
alleged act, omission or alleged omission that 

 

4

 

does not constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Manager as determined by a final,
non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(b)           Freedom
to Pursue Opportunities.  In
recognition that each Manager and its respective Indemnitees currently have,
and will in the future have or will consider acquiring, investments in numerous
companies with respect to which each Manager or its respective Indemnitees may
serve as an advisor, a director or in some other capacity, and in recognition
that each Manager and its respective Indemnitees have myriad duties to various
investors and partners, and in anticipation that the Companies, on the one hand
and the Managers (or one or more affiliates, associated investment funds or
portfolio companies), on the other hand, may engage in the same or similar
activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same areas of
corporate opportunities, and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by
the Companies hereunder and in recognition of the difficulties which may
confront any advisor who desires and endeavors fully to satisfy such advisor’s
duties in determining the full scope of such duties in any particular
situation, the provisions of this Section 6(b) are set forth to
regulate, define and guide the conduct of certain affairs of the Companies as
they may involve such Manager.  Except as
a Manager may otherwise agree in writing after the date hereof:

 

(i)            Such
Manager and its respective Indemnitees will have the right:  (A) to directly or indirectly engage in
any business (including, without limitation, any business activities or lines
of business that are the same as or similar to those pursued by, or competitive
with, the Companies and their subsidiaries), (B) to directly or indirectly
do business with any client or customer of the Companies and their
subsidiaries, (C) to take any other action that such Manager believes in
good faith is necessary to or appropriate to fulfill its obligations as
described in the first sentence of this Section 6(b), and (D) not to
present potential transactions, matters or business opportunities to the
Companies or any of their subsidiaries, and to pursue, directly or indirectly,
any such opportunity for itself, and to direct any such opportunity to another
Person.

 

(ii)           Such
Manager and its respective Indemnitees will have no duty (contractual or
otherwise) to communicate or present any corporate opportunities to the
Companies or any of their affiliates or to refrain from any actions specified
in Section 6(b)(i), and the Companies, on their own behalf and on behalf
of their affiliates, hereby renounce and waive any right to require such
Manager or any of its Indemnitees to act in a manner inconsistent with the
provisions of this Section 6(b).

 

(iii)          None
of such Manager, nor any of its Indemnitees will be liable to the Companies or
any of their affiliates for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by
reason of any activities or omissions of the types referred to in this Section 6(b) or
of any such Person’s participation therein.

 

(c)           Limitation of Liability.  In no event will the Managers or any of their
Indemnitees be liable to the Companies or any of their affiliates for any
indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, including, without
limitation, lost profits or savings, 

 

5

 

whether
or not such damages are foreseeable, or for any third party claims (whether
based in contract, tort or otherwise), relating to the services to be provided
by the Managers hereunder.

 

7.             Assignment,
etc.  Except as provided below, none
of the parties hereto will have the right to assign this Agreement without the
prior written consent of each of the other parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any
Manager may assign all or part of its rights and obligations hereunder to any
of its respective affiliates which provides services similar to those called
for by this Agreement, in which event such Manager will be released of its
rights to fees under Section 2 and reimbursement of expenses under Section 5(a) and
all of its obligations hereunder and (b) the provisions hereof for the
benefit of Indemnitees of the Managers will inure to the benefit of such
Indemnitees and their successors and assigns.

 

8.             Amendments
and Waivers.  No amendment or waiver
of any term, provision or condition of this Agreement will be effective, unless
in writing and executed by each Manager and the Companies; provided,
that any Manager may waive any portion of any fee to which it is entitled
pursuant to this Agreement, and, unless otherwise directed by such Manager,
such waived portion will revert to the Companies.  No waiver on any one occasion will extend to
or effect or be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy on any future
occasion.  No course of dealing of any
person nor any delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy will
constitute an amendment of this Agreement or a waiver of any right or remedy of
any party hereto.

 

9.             Governing
Law; Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.  ANY

DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SITTING IN MANHATTAN, AND
THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF BOTH SUCH COURTS IN
RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes any prior communication or agreement with respect
thereto.

ARTICLE II

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

SECTION 2.01.      Demand
Registration.

 

(a)           Demand
by the Sponsors.  If, after the
Effectiveness Date, there is no currently effective Shelf Registration
Statement on file with the SEC, a Sponsor holding, directly or indirectly, in
the aggregate, not less than five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities
then 

 

5

 

outstanding may make a written request to the Company
for Registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such
Sponsor (a “Demanding Sponsor”) (i) on Form S-1 or any similar
long-form registration statement (a “Long-Form Registration”) or (ii) on
Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement (a “Short-Form Registration
Statement”) if the Company qualifies to use such short form.  Any such requested Long-Form Registration
or Short-Form Registration shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Demand
Registration.”  Each request for a
Demand Registration shall specify the kind and aggregate amount of Registrable
Securities to be Registered and the intended methods of disposition
thereof.  Within thirty (30) days of a
request for a Demand Registration, the Company shall file a Registration
Statement relating to such Demand Registration (a “Demand Registration
Statement”), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Demand
Registration Statement to promptly be declared effective under (x) the
Securities Act and (y) the “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Participating
Holder or any underwriter, if any, reasonably requests.

 

(b)           Limitation
on Demand Registrations.  Each
Sponsor shall have the right to request up to three (3) Long-Form Registrations
and an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each
Sponsor may request no more than two (2) Demand Registration in any twelve
(12) - month period and (ii) in no event shall the Company be required to
effect more than three (3) Demand Registrations in any twelve (12) - month
period.

 

(c)           Demand Withdrawal.  A Demanding Sponsor and any other Holder that
has requested its Registrable Securities be included in a Demand Registration
pursuant to Section 2.01(e) may withdraw its Registrable Securities from a
Demand Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable
Demand Registration Statement.  Upon
receipt of a notice to such effect from the Demanding Sponsor, the Company
shall cease all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Demand
Registration Statement and such Registration nonetheless shall be deemed a
Demand Registration with respect to the Demanding Sponsor for purposes of
Section 2.01(b) unless (i) the withdrawing Demanding Sponsor shall have paid or
reimbursed the Company for its pro  rata share of all reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Company in
connection with the Registration of such Demanding Sponsor’s withdrawn
Registrable Securities (based on the number of securities the Demanding Sponsor
sought to register, as compared to the total number of securities included on
such Demand Registration Statement) or (ii) the withdrawal is made following
the occurrence of a Material Adverse Change or because the Registration would
require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure.

 

(d)           Effective
Registration.  The Company shall be
deemed to have effected a Demand Registration if the Demand Registration
Statement is declared effective by the SEC and remains effective for not less
than one hundred eighty (180) days (or such shorter period as shall terminate
when all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement
have been sold or withdrawn), or if such Registration Statement relates to an
Underwritten Offering, such longer period as, in the opinion of counsel for the
underwriter or underwriters, a Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in
connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer
(the applicable period, the “Demand Period”).  No Demand Registration shall be deemed to
have been effected if (i) during the Demand Period such Registration is
interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of
the SEC or other

 

6

 

governmental agency or court or (ii) the
conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered
into in connection with such Registration are not satisfied other than by
reason of a wrongful act, misrepresentation or breach of such applicable
underwriting agreement by the Demanding Sponsor.

 

(e)           Demand
Notice.  Promptly upon receipt of any
request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.01(a) (but in
no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Company shall
deliver a written notice (a “Demand Notice”) of any such Registration
request to all other Holders, and the Company shall include in such Demand
Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company
has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) Business
Days after the date that the Demand Notice has been delivered.  All requests made pursuant to this Section 2.01(e) shall
specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the
intended method of distribution of such securities.

 

(f)            Delay
in Filing; Suspension of Registration. 
If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Demand
Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse
Disclosure, 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, the Demand Registration Statement (a “Demand Suspension”); provided,
however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Demand
Suspension (i) more than once during any twelve (12)-month period, or (ii) for
a period exceeding thirty (30) days on any one occasion.  In the case of a Demand Suspension, the
Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with
any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities,
upon receipt of the notice referred to above. 
The Company shall immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of
any Demand Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it
does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders
such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the
Holders may reasonably request.  The
Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the Demand
Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the
Company for the Demand Registration or by the instructions applicable to such
registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations
promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by the Demanding
Sponsor.

 

(g)           Underwritten
Offering.  If a Demanding Sponsor so
requests, an offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand
Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, and such
Demanding Sponsor shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or
underwriters to administer the offering; provided that such managing
underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company and
the other Sponsor.

 

(h)           Priority
of Securities Registered Pursuant to Demand Registrations.  If the managing underwriter or underwriters
of a proposed Underwritten Offering of the Registrable Securities included in a
Demand Registration (or, in the case of a Demand Registration not being
underwritten, the Sponsors), advise the Board of Directors in writing that, in
its or their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such
Demand Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering
without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing
or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities 

 

7

 

offered, the securities to be included in such Demand
Registration (i) first, shall be allocated pro  rata among
the Holders that have requested to participate in such Demand Registration
based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such
Holder (provided that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that
exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining
requesting Holders in like manner) and (ii) next, and only if all the
securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of
securities that the Company proposes to include in such Registration that, in
the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters (or the Sponsors, as
the case may be) can be sold without having such adverse effect.

 

(i)            In
the event any Holder requests to participate in a registration pursuant to this
Section 2.01 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities
to its partners or members, the registration shall provide for resale by such
partners or members, if requested by the Holder.

 

SECTION 2.02.      Shelf
Registration.

 

(a)           Filing.  After the Effectiveness Date, as promptly as
practicable following a request by a Sponsor holding, directly or indirectly,
in the aggregate, not less than five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities
then outstanding, the Company shall file with the SEC a Shelf Registration
Statement relating to the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities by the
Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution
elected by such Holders and set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and,
as promptly as practicable thereafter, shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act.  If, on the date of any such
request, the Company does not qualify to file a Shelf Registration Statement
under the Securities Act, the provisions of this Section 2.02 shall not apply,
and the provisions of Section 2.01 shall apply instead.

 

(b)           Continued
Effectiveness.  The Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the
Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Holders until the earlier of (i) the
date as of which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement or another registration statement filed under the
Securities Act (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of
the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder) and (ii) the date as of
which each of the Holders is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities
without Registration pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without
volume limitation or other restrictions on transfer thereunder (such period of
effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”). 
Subject to Section 2.02(d), the Company shall not be deemed to have
used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
effective during the Shelf Period if the Company voluntarily takes any action
or omits to take any action that would result in Holders of Registrable
Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell any Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf
Period, unless such action or omission is required by applicable law.

 

(c)           Shelf
Notice.  Promptly upon receipt of any
request to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.02(a) (but
in no event more than five (5) Business 

 

8

 

Days thereafter), the Company shall deliver a written
notice of any such request to all other Holders specifying the amount of
Registrable Securities to be registered.

 

(d)           Suspension
of Registration.  If the continued
use of such Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Company
to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving at least ten days’
prior written notice of such action to the Holders, suspend use of the Shelf
Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided that the
Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension (i) more
than one time during any twelve (12)-month period, or (ii) for a period
exceeding thirty (30) days on any one occasion. 
In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of
the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer
to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice
referred to above.  The Company shall
immediately notify the Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension,
amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any
untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies
of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably
request.  The Company agrees, if
necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration
Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the
Shelf Registration or by the instructions applicable to such registration form
or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated
thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by the Sponsors.

 

(e)           Underwritten
Offering.  If a Sponsor holding,
directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, not less than five percent (5 %) of
the Registrable Securities then outstanding so elects, an offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement shall be in
the form of an Underwritten Offering, and the Company shall amend or supplement
the Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose, such Sponsor shall have the
right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such
offering; provided that such managing underwriter or underwriters shall
be reasonably acceptable to the Company and the other Sponsor.

 

SECTION 2.03.      Piggyback
Registration.

 

(a)           Participation.  If the Company at any time proposes to file a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to any offering of
its securities for its own account or for the account of any other Persons (other
than (i) a Registration under Section 2.01 or 2.02, (ii) a
Registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such Forms or (iii) a
Registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees
or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other
employee benefit plan arrangement) (a “Company Public Sale”), then, as
soon as practicable (but in no event less than forty-five (45) days prior to
the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement), the Company shall
give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders, and such notice
shall offer the Holders the opportunity to Register under such Registration
Statement such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request
in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”). 
Subject to Section 2.03(b), the Company shall include in such
Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities that are requested to be
included therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by such Holders of
any such notice; provided that if at any time after giving written
notice of its intention to Register any securities and prior to the effective
date of the Registration Statement filed in 

 

9

 

connection with such Registration, the Company shall
determine for any reason not to Register or to delay Registration of such
securities, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to each
Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to Register,
shall be relieved of its obligation to Register any Registrable Securities in
connection with such Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the
Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to
the rights of the Sponsors to request that such Registration be effected as a
Demand Registration under Section 2.01, and (ii) in the case of a
determination to delay Registering, in the absence of a request for a Demand
Registration, shall be permitted to delay Registering any Registrable
Securities, for the same period as the delay in Registering such other
securities.  If the offering pursuant to
such Registration Statement is to be underwritten, then each Holder making a
request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) must,
and the Company shall make such arrangements with the managing underwriter or
underwriters so that each such Holder may, participate in such Underwritten
Offering.  If the offering pursuant to
such Registration Statement is to be on any other basis, then each Holder
making a request for a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) must,
and the Company shall make such arrangements so that each such Holder may,
participate in such offering on such basis. 
Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its
Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the
effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

 

(b)           Priority
of Piggyback Registration.  If the
managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of
Registrable Securities included in a Piggyback Registration informs the Company
and the Holders of Registrable Securities in writing that, in its or their
opinion, the number of securities which such Holders and any other Persons
intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such
offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the
price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the
securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Registration
shall be (i) first, 100% of the securities that the Company or (subject to
Section 2.07) any Person (other than a Holder) exercising a contractual
right to demand Registration, as the case may be, proposes to sell, and (ii) second,
and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been
included, the number of Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such
managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse
effect, with such number to be allocated pro  rata among the
Holders that have requested to participate in such Registration based on the
relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder (provided
that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s
request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like
manner) and (iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities
referred to in clause (ii) have been included in such Registration, any
other securities eligible for inclusion in such Registration.

 

(c)           No
Effect on Demand Registrations.  No
Registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under
this Section 2.03 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to
Sections 2.01 and 2.02 or shall relieve the Company of its obligations under
Sections 2.01 or 2.02.

SECTION 2.04.      Black-out
Periods.

 

(a)           Black-out
Periods for Holders.  In the event of
a Company Public Sale of the Company’s equity securities in an Underwritten
Offering, the Holders agree, if requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, not to effect any public sale or
distribution of any securities (except, in each case, as part of the applicable
Registration, if permitted) that are the same as or similar to those being
Registered in connection with such Company Public Sale, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the
period beginning seven (7) days before and ending one hundred eighty (180)
days (in the event of the Company’s initial public offering) or ninety (90)
days (in the event of any other Company Public Sale) (or, in either case, such
lesser period as may be permitted by the Company or such managing underwriter
or underwriters) after, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed
in connection with such Registration, to the extent timely notified in writing
by the Company or the managing underwriter or underwriters; provided, however,
such restrictions shall not apply to (i) securities acquired in the public
market subsequent to the initial public offering , (ii) distributions-in-kind
to a Holder’s limited partners and (iii) transfers to Affiliates but only
if such Affiliates agree to be bound by the restrictions herein..

 

(b)           Black-out
Period for the Company and Others. 
In the case of a Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.01
or 2.02 for an Underwritten Offering, the Company and the Holders agree, if
requested by the Sponsors or the managing underwriter or underwriters, not to
effect any public sale or distribution of any securities that are the same as
or similar to those being Registered, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning
seven (7) days before, and ending ninety (90) days (or such lesser period
as may be permitted by the Sponsors or such managing underwriter or
underwriters) after, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in
connection with such Registration (or, in the case of an offering under a Shelf
Registration Statement, the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement in connection therewith), to the extent timely notified in writing by
the Sponsors or the managing underwriter or underwriters.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
may effect a public sale or distribution of securities of the type described
above and during the periods described above if such sale or distribution is
made pursuant to Registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to
such Forms or as part of any Registration of securities for offering and sale
to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or
other employee benefit plan arrangement. The Company agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain from each holder of restricted securities of
the Company which securities are the same as or similar to the Registrable
Securities being Registered, or any restricted securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities, an agreement not to
effect any public sale or distribution of such securities during any such
period referred to in this paragraph, except as part of any such Registration,
if permitted.  Without limiting the
foregoing (but subject to Section 2.07), if after the date hereof the
Company grants any Person (other than a Holder) any rights to demand or
participate in a Registration, the Company agrees that the agreement with
respect thereto shall include such Person’s agreement to comply with any
black-out period required by this Section as if it were the Company
hereunder.

any proceeding for such purpose;

 

(v)           promptly
notify the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters,
if any, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a
result of which the applicable Registration Statement or the Prospectus

statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to
make the statements therein (in the case of such Prospectus and any preliminary
Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading
or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such time period to
amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to
comply with the Securities Act and, in either case as promptly as reasonably

consents to the use of such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
by such Holder and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering
and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto) and such other documents as such Holder or

underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel, in connection with the
registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale

underwriters, if any, or their respective counsel reasonably request in writing
and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to
keep such registration or qualification in effect for such period as required
by Section 2.01(d) or Section 2.02(b), whichever is applicable, provided
that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in
any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which
would subject it to taxation or general service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

 

(xi)           cooperate
with the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if
any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates

and their respective counsel;

 

14

pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(xxii) shall agree to hold in strict
confidence and shall not make any disclosure or use any information regarding

the Company to participate in the customary “road show” presentations that may
be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in any such
Underwritten Offering and otherwise to facilitate, cooperate with, and
participate in each proposed offering contemplated herein and customary selling
efforts related thereto.

 

(b)           The
Company may require each Participating Holder to furnish to the Company such
information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other
information relating to such Holder and its ownership of Registrable Securities
as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.  Each Participating Holder agrees to furnish
such information to the Company and to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of this
Agreement.

 

(c)           Each
Participating Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.05(a)(v),
such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities

copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.05(a)(v),
or until such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the
Prospectus may be resumed, and if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall
deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus

such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement either receives the copies of
the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.05(a)(v) or
is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be
resumed.

 

(d)           Holders
may seek to register different types of Registrable Securities simultaneously,
and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such
Registration and sale in accordance with the intended method or methods of
disposition specified by such Holders.

 

SECTION 2.06.      Underwritten
Offerings.

 

(a)           Demand
and Shelf Registrations.  If
requested by the underwriters for any Underwritten Offering requested by the
Sponsors pursuant to a Registration under Section 2.01 or Section 2.02,
the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters
for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance
and form to the Company, the Sponsors and the underwriters, and to contain such
representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are
generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including indemnities no less
favorable to the recipient thereof than those provided in Section 2.09.  The Participating Holders shall cooperate with the Company in the
negotiation of such underwriting agreement and shall give consideration to the
reasonable suggestions of the Company regarding the form thereof.  Such Holders shall be parties to such underwriting agreement, which underwriting
agreement shall (i) contain such representations and warranties 

 

16

 

by, and the other agreements on the part of, the
Company to and for the benefit of such Holders as are customarily made by issuers to selling stockholders in
secondary underwritten public offerings and (ii) provide that any or all
of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such
underwriting agreement also shall be conditions precedent to the obligations
of  such Holders.  Such Holders shall not be required to make
any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the
underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding
such Holders, such Holder’s title to the Registrable Securities, such Holder’s
intended method of distribution and any other representations required to be
made by such Holder under applicable law, and the aggregate amount of the
liability of such Holder shall not exceed such Holder’s net proceeds from such
Underwritten Offering.

 

(b)           Piggyback
Registrations.  If the Company
proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as
contemplated by Section 2.03 and such securities are to be distributed in
an Underwritten Offering through one or more underwriters, the Company shall,
if requested by any Holder pursuant to Section 2.03 and subject to the
provisions of Section 2.03(b), use its reasonable best efforts to arrange
for such underwriters to include on the same terms and conditions that apply to
the other sellers in such Registration all the Registrable Securities to be
offered and sold by such Holder among the securities of the Company to be
distributed by such underwriters in such Registration.  The Participating Holders shall be parties to
the underwriting agreement between the Company and such underwriters, which
underwriting agreement shall (i) contain such representations and
warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for
the benefit of such Holders as are customarily made by issuers to selling
stockholders in secondary underwritten public offerings and (ii) provide
that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such
underwriters under such underwriting agreement also shall be conditions
precedent to the obligations of such Holders. 
Any such Holder shall not be required to make any representations or
warranties to, or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than
representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder; such Holder’s
title to the Registrable Securities and such Holder’s intended method of
distribution or any other representations required to be made by such Holder
under applicable law, and the aggregate amount of the liability of such Holder
shall not exceed such Holder’s net proceeds from such Underwritten Offering.

 

(c)           Participation
in Underwritten Registrations. 
Subject to provisions of Sections 2.06(a) and (b) above, no
Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such
Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided
in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to approve
such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

(d)           Price
and Underwriting Discounts.  In the
case of an Underwritten Offering under Section 2.01 or 2.02, the price,
underwriting discount and other financial terms for the Registrable Securities
shall be determined by the Demanding Sponsor 
(or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, the Sponsor selling
Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement).  In addition, in the case of any Underwritten
Offering, each of the Holders may withdraw their request to participate in the
registration pursuant to Section 2.01, 2.02 or 2.03 after being advised of
such price, discount and other terms and shall not be required to enter into
any agreements or documentation that would require otherwise.

 

17

 

SECTION 2.07.      No
Inconsistent Agreements; Additional Rights. 
The Company shall not hereafter enter into, and is not currently a party
to, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the
rights granted to the Holders by this Agreement.  Without the consent of the Sponsors, the
Company shall not enter into any agreement granting registration or similar
rights to any Person.

 

SECTION 2.08.      Registration
Expenses.  All expenses incident to
the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement shall be paid by

the NASD, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with
any securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (iii) all printing, duplicating, word
processing, messenger, telephone, facsimile and delivery expenses (including
expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form
eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing
prospectuses), (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company
and of all independent certified public accountants of the Company (including
the expenses of any special audit and cold comfort letters required by or
incident to such performance), (v) Securities Act liability insurance or
similar insurance if the Company so desires or the underwriters so require in
accordance with then-customary underwriting practice, (vi) all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities
on any securities exchange or quotation of the Registrable Securities on any
inter-dealer quotation system, (vii) all applicable rating agency fees
with respect to the Registrable Securities, (viii) all reasonable fees and
disbursements of legal counsel selected by the Demanding Sponsor  (or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, the
Sponsor  selling Registrable Securities
under the Shelf Registration Statement), (ix) all fees and expenses of
accountants selected by the Demanding Sponsor 
(or, in the case of a Shelf Registration, the Investor selling
Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement), (x) any
reasonable fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers
or sellers of securities, (xi) all fees and expenses of any special
experts or other Persons retained by the Company in connection with any Registration,
(xii) all of the Company’s internal expenses (including all salaries and
expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties)
and (xiii) all expenses related to the “road-show” for any underwritten
offering, including all travel, meals and lodging.  All such expenses are referred to herein as “Registration
Expenses.”  The Company shall not be
required to pay any fees and disbursements to underwriters not customarily paid
by the issuers of securities in a secondary offering, including underwriting
discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale
of Registrable Securities.

 

SECTION 2.09.      Indemnification.

 

(a)           Indemnification
by the Company.  The Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each
Holder, each member, limited or general partner thereof, each member, limited
or general partner of each such member, limited or general partner, each of
their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
advisors, and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons and each of their respective
Representatives from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments,
suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several
(including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) (each, a “Loss”
and collectively “Losses”) arising out of or based upon (i) any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a 

 

18

 

material fact contained in any Registration Statement
under which such Registrable Securities were Registered under the Securities
Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by
reference therein) or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, reports
and other documents filed under the Exchange Act, (ii) any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or
preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading or (iii) any actions or inactions or proceedings in
respect of the foregoing whether or not such indemnified party is a party
thereto; provided, that the Company shall not be liable to any
particular indemnified party (A) to the extent that any such Loss arises
out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement or other
document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by such indemnified party expressly for use in the preparation
thereof or (B) to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or omission in a preliminary Prospectus relating to
Registrable Securities, if a Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) that
would have cured the defect was furnished to the indemnified party from whom
the Person asserting the claim giving rise to such Loss purchased Registrable
Securities at least five (5) days prior to the written confirmation of the
sale of the Registrable Securities to such Person and a copy of such Prospectus
(as amended and supplemented) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such
indemnified party to such Person at or prior to the written confirmation of the
sale of the Registrable Securities to such Person.  This indemnity shall be in addition to any
liability the Company may otherwise have. 
Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and
shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.  The Company shall also indemnify
underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry
professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors
and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to
the indemnification of the indemnified parties.

 

(b)           Indemnification
by the Participating Holders.  Each
Participating Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold
harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors
and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting
from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration
Statement under which such Registrable Securities were Registered under the
Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus
contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any
documents incorporated by reference therein), or (ii) any omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary
Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder
to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement and
has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with
the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim.  In no event shall the liability of such
Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net
proceeds received by such Holder under the sale of 

 

19

 

Registrable Securities giving rise to such
indemnification obligation.  The Company
shall be entitled to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers,
dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in
the distribution, to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate
modification) with respect to information furnished in writing by such Persons
specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement.

 

(c)           Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any
Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written
notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks
indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the
indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations
hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially
prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled
to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate
counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the
indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within
a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person
entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Person, (C) the indemnified party has reasonably
concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses
available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in
addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (D) in the
reasonable judgment of any such Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a
conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party
with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the
indemnifying party in writing that such Person 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 claim on behalf of such
Person).  If the indemnifying party
assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle
such action without the consent of the indemnified party.  No indemnifying party shall consent to entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to
such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of such indemnified
party.  If such defense is not assumed by
the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any
liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such
consent may not be unreasonably withheld. 
It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not,
except as specifically set forth in this Section 2.09(c), in connection
with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable
for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one
separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time unless
(x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by
the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably
concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the
other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may
exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such
indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the
indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses
of such additional counsel or counsels.

(d)           Contribution.        If
for any reason the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this Section 2.09 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
of such Loss (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified
party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.  In connection with any
Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Company, the relative fault of
the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other
hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any
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
the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission.  The parties
hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 2.09(d) were determined by pro  rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.09(d).  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. 
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the
Losses referred to in Sections 2.09(a) and 2.09(b) shall be deemed to
include, subject to the 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 claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.09(d),
in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company, a
Participating Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder under the sale
of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.  If indemnification is available under this Section 2.09,
the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full
extent provided in Sections 2.09(a) and 2.09(b) hereof without regard
to the provisions of this Section 2.09(d). 
The remedies provided for in this Section 2.09 are not exclusive
and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to
any indemnified party at law or in equity.

 

SECTION 2.10.      Rules 144
and 144A and Regulation S.  The
Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required
to file such reports, it will, upon the reasonable request of the Sponsors,
make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to
permit sales pursuant to Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the
Securities Act), and it will take such further action as the Sponsors may
reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the
Sponsors to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144,
144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be
amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the SEC.  Upon the
reasonable request of a Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a
written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if
not, the specifics thereof.

ARTICLE III

MISCELLANEOUS

 

SECTION 3.01.      Term.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the later
of the expiration of the Shelf Period and such time as there are no Registrable
Securities, except for the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.10 and all of this
Article III, which shall survive any such termination.

 

SECTION 3.02.      Injunctive
Relief.  It is hereby agreed and
acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage that
would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations
herein imposed on them and that in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved
Person will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at
law.  Any such Person shall, therefore,
be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled in law
or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce
such obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any
of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the
defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

 

SECTION 3.03.      Attorneys’
Fees.  In any action or proceeding brought
to enforce any provision of this Agreement or where any provision hereof is
validly asserted as a defense, the successful party shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees
in addition to any other available remedy.

 

SECTION 3.04.      Notices.  Unless otherwise specified herein, all
notices and other communications authorized or required to be given pursuant to
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be
deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by personal hand-delivery,
by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail, by mailing the same in a sealed
envelope, registered first-class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, or by air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, sent to the

virtue of this Agreement.
