WHEREAS, the Issuer and the DLJ Parties desire to amend the terms of the
Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, the Agreement shall be amended, pursuant to the terms, as
follows:
1. Section 4.1(d) shall be modified to read as follows:
" (d) If a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Public Offering
and the managing underwriter shall advise the Issuer and the Selling
Stockholders in writing that, in its opinion, the number of shares of
Common Stock requested to be included in such registration (including
Common Stock which the Issuer proposes to be included which is not
Registrable Stock or any other securities of other parties with piggyback
registration rights) exceeds the largest number of Stock which can be sold
in an orderly manner within a price range acceptable to the Selling
Stockholders (the "MAXIMUM OFFERING SIZE"), the Issuer will include such
registration, in the priority listed below, up to the Maximum Offering
Size:
(i) first, the Registrable Stock requested be included in such
registration by the Holders of Registrable Stock requesting such
registration and any securities requested to be included therein by
any other holder pursuant to such holder's piggyback rights granted
under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as
of August __, 2003, relating to shares of the Company's Series AA
Preferred Stock (the "SERIES AA HOLDERS") or pursuant to such holder's
piggyback rights granted under the Amended and Restated Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of August __, 2003, relating to shares of
the Company's Series CC Preferred Stock (the "SERIES CC HOLDERS");
(ii) second, any securities requested to be included therein by any
other holders pursuant to such holders' piggyback rights, if any, pro
rata on the basis of the number of shares of such securities requested
for inclusion in such registration by each such holder; and
(iii) third, the Common Stock proposed to be registered by the Issuer,
if any."
2. Sections 4.2(b) and 4.2(c) shall be modified to read as follows:
" (b) If a registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 involves a primary
Underwritten Public Offering on behalf of the Issuer and the managing
underwriter advises the Issuer that in its opinion, the numbers of shares
of Common Stock requested to be included exceeds the Maximum Offering Size,
the Issuer will include in such registration, in the following priority, up
to the Maximum Offering Size:
(i) first, the Common Stock proposed to be registered by the Issuer;
(ii) second, the securities requested to be included in such
registration by the Series AA Holders and the Series CC Holders, if
any; and
(iii) third, the Registrable Stock requested be included in such
registration among the Holders of Registrable Stock requesting such
registration and any securities requested to be included therein by
any other holder pursuant to such holder's piggyback rights, if any,
pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Stock and
other securities requested for inclusion in such registration by each
such Holder or holder."
(c) If a registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 involves a
secondary Underwritten Public Offering requested by holders of the Issuer's
securities other than the Holders of Registrable Stock and the managing
underwriter advises the Issuer that in its view, the numbers of shares of
Common Stock requested to be included exceeds the Maximum Offering Size,
the Issuer will include in such registration, in the following priority, up
to the Maximum Offering Size:
(i) first, the securities requested be included in such registration
by the holders requesting such registration and the securities of the
Series AA Holders and the Series CC Holders requested to be included
therein, if any;
(ii) second, the Registrable Stock requested be included in such
registration by the Holders of Registrable Stock and any securities
requested to be included therein by any other holder pursuant to such
holder's piggyback rights, if any, pro rata on the basis of the number
of shares of Registrable Stock and other securities requested for
inclusion in such registration by each such Holder or holder;
(iii) third, the Common Stock proposed to be registered by the Issuer,
if any.
3. All capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as assigned to such
term in the Agreement. All terms and conditions of the Agreement which are
not specifically amended herein shall remain in full force and effect. This
Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to
the Agreement.
