1 Exhibit 10.41 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT This Registration Rights Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of December 1, 1995 by and among (1) Unidata, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), (ii) Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, MassMutual Corporate Investors, MassMutual Participation Investors and MassMutual Corporate Value Partners Limited (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Institutional Investors"), and (iii) James T. Dresher ("Dresher"). WHEREAS, the Institutional Investors have negotiated with the officers of the Company to enter into a Note Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the "Note Agreement"), pursuant to which the Institutional Investors will purchase from the Company (i) $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 11.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 1, 2003 (the "Notes"), (ii) Warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 250,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, having no par value per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), of the Company, and (iii) 500,000 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company for an aggregate consideration equal to $2,000,000. The Notes, Warrants and Class B Common Stock are collectively referred to as the "Institutional Investor Securities." The shares of Class B Common Stock including the shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants together with the shares of Class A Common Stock, having no par value per share (the "Class A Common Stock") of the Company, to be issued to the Institutional Investors upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock, are collectively referred to as the "Institutional Investor Stock". The term "Common Stock" as used herein shall include the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock, including the shares of Class B Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the rights granted under the Warrants; provided, however, that for purposes of the registration rights contained in Section 4, Common Stock shall include only Class A Common Stock of the Company and any class of Common Stock issued in substitution therefor. WHEREAS, Dresher and his Related Parties (as defined below) own 9,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, which will constitute approximately 75% of the capital stock outstanding immediately after the purchase of the Institutional Investor Securities by the Institutional Investors. WHEREAS, the Institutional Investors have required as an absolute condition to the purchase of the Institutional Investor Securities from the Company, that the Company and Dresher enter into this Agreement, and whereas the Company and Dresher are desirous that the Institutional Investors enter into the Note Agreement and purchase from the Company the Institutional Investor Securities described above, the Company and Dresher have agreed to enter into this Agreement. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows: 2 SECTION 1. ACQUISITION OF INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR STOCK. (a) Acquired for Own Account. Each of the Institutional Investors represents and warrants that the Institutional Investor Stock to be acquired by it pursuant to the Note Agreement will be acquired for investment purposes only and not with a view toward resale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and will not be disposed of in contravention of the Act. (b) Institutional Investor Stock Not Registered. Each of the Institutional Investors acknowledges that none of the Institutional Investor Stock has been registered pursuant to the Act. (c) Knowledge of Transaction. Each of the Institutional Investors represents and warrants that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the Note Agreement, has had legal counsel review such terms and conditions and has had sufficient opportunity for such Institutional Investor and its legal counsel to conduct diligence concerning the Company. SECTION 2. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. (a) Transfer of Institutional Investor Stock. With the exception of the Institutional Investor Stock owned by MassMutual Corporate Value Partners Limited which may be pledged to its creditors from time to time, none of the Institutional Investors will sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any interest in any shares of Institutional Investor Stock except pursuant to the provisions of subsections (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 2 or unless such sale occurs in connection with or after a Qualified Public Offering consummated by the Company. Any attempted transfer of Institutional Investor Stock in violation of this Agreement shall be void and of no effect. As used herein, "Qualified Public Offering" shall mean a public offering of Common Stock registered under the Act which results in net proceeds to the Company and any of its shareholders participating in such public offering in an aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000. (b) First Refusal Rights. Any Institutional Investor desiring to transfer any shares of Institutional Investor Stock (other than pursuant to Section 2(c) below), shall, at least 120 days prior to making such transfer, deliver written notice (a "Sale Notice") to the Company and Dresher disclosing in detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s) and the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer. Such Institutional Investor agrees not to consummate any such transfer until the earlier to occur of (i) 120 days after the Sale Notice has been delivered to the Company and Dresher, and (ii) the date on which the parties to the transfer have been determined pursuant to this Section 2(b). The date of the first to occur of such events is referred to as the "Authorization Date." Within ninety (90) days of receiving such Sale Notice, the Company may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Institutional Investor Stock proposed to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Sale Notice by notifying such Institutional Investor in writing within such 90-day period. If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the shares of Institutional Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Dresher may elect to purchase any portion of such Institutional Investor Stock that the Company elects not to purchase upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Sale Notice, provided that Dresher notifies in writing such Institutional Investor of Dresher's election to purchase within the 3 same 90-day period following receipt of the Sale Notice. If the Company and Dresher together do not elect to purchase all of the shares of Institutional Investor Stock specified in the Sale Notice, such Institutional Investor may, during the 90-day period immediately following the Authorization Date, transfer such shares of Institutional Investor Stock that the Company has not elected to purchase at a price and on terms no more favorable to the proposed transferee(s) than specified in the Sale Notice; provided that if such transfer shall be consummated prior to a Qualified Public Offering, such transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement prior to such transfer. Any shares of Institutional Investor Stock not transferred within such 90-day period shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 2(b) upon a subsequent attempt by such Institutional Investor to transfer such Institutional Investor Stock. The right of first refusal provided in this Section 2(b) shall terminate upon the Company's consummation of a Qualified Public Offering. (c) Sale of the Company. If the Board of Directors of the Company and the holders of at least 66% of shares of Class A Common Stock (or other voting capital stock) (the "Required Percentage") then outstanding approve the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's consolidated assets or a sale or exchange of all or substantially all of its outstanding capital stock (an "Approved Sale"), the holders of Institutional Investor Stock (i) shall be offered the opportunity to sell or exchange all of their shares of Institutional Investor Stock for the same price and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as said holders of the Required Percentage in such Approved Sale for the same price and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as said holders and (ii) shall consent to and raise no objections against the Approved Sale of the Company and, if requested to vote on such Approved Sale, shall vote all shares of Class A Common Stock that said holders beneficially own in favor of such Approved Sale. It is intended that the provisions of this Section 2(c) constitute a "voting agreement" within the meaning of Section 7-107-302 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act (the "CBCA") and not a "voting trust" within the meaning of Section 7-107-301 of the CBCA. If the Approved Sale of the Company is structured as a sale or exchange of stock, the holders of Institutional Investor Stock shall agree to sell or exchange all of their shares of Institutional Investor Stock, including the rights to acquire shares of Institutional Investor Stock, on the terms and conditions approved by the Board of Directors and the holders of at least the Required Percentage. In any Approved Sale, all of the holders of Common Stock (including shares received or to be received upon exercise of the Warrants) shall be entitled to receive the same form and amount of consideration per share of Common Stock, or if any holders of Common Stock are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, all holders of Common Stock shall be given the same option. The holders of Institutional Investor Stock shall take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale of the Company as requested by counsel to the Company. The rights provided in this Section 2(c) shall terminate upon the Company's consummation of a Qualified Public Offering. (d) Notice of Proposed Transfer Following A Qualified Public Offering. Following the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, any Institutional Investor desiring to transfer any shares of Institutional Investor Stock, other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act, shall deliver written notice to the Company, at least 5 business days prior to the date of the proposed transfer, describing the manner and circumstances of such proposed transfer. 4 (e) Unless the Company shall have received an opinion from counsel to the Company (which opinion shall be obtained by the Company on or prior to the date of such proposed transfer) that a proposed transfer of Institutional Investor Stock may not be effected without registration or qualification under Federal or state law, such holder of Institutional Investor Stock shall be entitled to transfer such Institutional Investor Stock in the manner proposed. (f) The certificates representing the Institutional Investor Stock to be issued to the Institutional Investors shall bear the following legend: THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT"), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 1, 1995, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE AT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS. (g) Each holder of Institutional Investor Stock agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Act during the seven days prior to, and during the 180 days beginning on the effective date of the registration statement relating to any underwritten public offering of the Company's Common Stock or preferred stock, except as part of such underwritten public offering or if otherwise permitted. SECTION 3. TAG-ALONG RIGHT. With respect to any proposed transfer, sale or other disposition (collectively, a proposed transfer") of shares of Common Stock ("Shares") by Dresher or any of his Related Parties (such persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Dresher Group") to a person (such other person being hereafter referred to as the "proposed purchaser"), other than pursuant to an Exempt Transfer (as defined below), each of the Institutional Investors and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the "Tag-Along Institutional Investors") shall have the right (the "Tag-Along Right") to require the proposed purchaser to purchase from such Tag-Along Institutional Investor up to the number of whole Shares owned by such Tag-Along Institutional Investor, including the rights to acquire such Shares, equal to the sum of (A) the number derived by multiplying the total number of Shares the members of the Dresher Group propose to transfer by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares owned by such Tag-Along Institutional Investor (including Shares to be received upon exercise of the Warrants), and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares then outstanding on a fully-diluted basis and (B) any additional Shares such Tag-Along Institutional Investor shall be entitled to have purchased pursuant to the next paragraph if any other Tag-Along Institutional Investor elects not to exercise its rights 5 hereunder. Any Shares purchased from Tag-Along Institutional Investors pursuant to this Section 3 shall be for the same consideration and upon the same terms and conditions as such proposed transfer by Dresher (or his Related Parties, as the case may be). Dresher shall, not less than fifteen (15) nor more than thirty (30) calendar days prior to each proposed transfer, notify, or cause to be notified, each Tag-Along Institutional Investor in writing of each such proposed transfer, setting forth in such notice: (i) the name of the transferor and the number of Shares proposed to be transferred, (ii) the name and address of the proposed purchaser, (iii) the proposed amount and form of consideration and terms and conditions of payment offered by such proposed purchaser and (iv) that the proposed purchaser has been informed of the Tag-Along Right provided for in this Section 3 and has agreed to purchase Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The Tag-Along Right may be exercised by any Tag-Along Institutional Investor by delivery of a written notice to Dresher or his Related Party proposing to sell Shares (the "Tag-Along Notice") within ten (10) calendar days following its receipt of the notice specified in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph. The Tag-Along Notice shall state the amount of Shares that such Tag-Along Institutional Investor proposes to include in such transfer to the proposed purchaser determined as aforesaid, plus the amount of additional Shares, if any, that such Tag-Along Institutional Investor would be willing to sell to the proposed purchaser in the event that any of the other Tag-Along Institutional Investors elects not to exercise their Tag-Along Rights in whole or in part. The maximum amount of additional Shares that each such Tag-Along Institutional Investor shall be entitled to sell, and the proposed purchaser be required to purchase, shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Shares that, under the formula described in the previous paragraph, Tag-Along Institutional Investors could have elected to sell to the proposed purchaser but elected not to so sell, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares owned by such Tag-Along Institutional Investor electing to sell additional Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares owned by all Tag-Along Institutional Investors who delivered Tag-Along Notices. In the event that the proposed purchaser does not purchase Shares from the Tag-Along Institutional Investors on the same terms and conditions as specified in the notice referred to in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, then Dresher and his Related Parties shall not be permitted to sell any Shares to the proposed purchaser in the proposed transfer. If no Tag-Along Notice is received during the 10-day period referred to above (or if such Notices do not cover all the Shares proposed to be transferred), Dresher and his Related Parties shall have the right, for a period of ninety (90) days after the expiration of the 10-day period referred to above, to transfer the Shares specified in the notice referred to in the last sentence of the preceding paragraph (or the remaining Shares) on terms and conditions no more favorable than those stated in the Tag-Along Notice and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3. As used herein, the term "Exempt Transfer" shall mean (1) transfers by Dresher to his Related Parties, provided that any such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement as if such transferee were Dresher with respect to such transferred Shares; (2) transfers by any of Dresher's Related Parties to Dresher; and (3) transfers by Dresher or any of his Related Parties which do not result in the Dresher Group owning of record less than 50% of the Shares owned by the Dresher Group on the date of this Agreement. 6 As used herein, the term "Related Party" means, with respect to any person, (A) a spouse or immediate family member or (B) a trust, corporation, partnership or other entity of which such person is a beneficiary, stockholder, partner, owner or person holding an 80% or more controlling interest. The Company agrees not to effect any transfer of Shares by Dresher until it has received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the Tag-Along Right, if applicable to such transfer, has been complied with. The rights provided in this Section 3 shall terminate upon the Company's consummation of a Qualified Public Offering. SECTION 4. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) Piggyback Registration Rights. (1) Right to Piggyback. Subject to the last sentence of this subsection (1), whenever the Company proposes to register any Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or options to acquire, Common Stock) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or an S-3 registration statement which relates solely to a dividend reinvestment plan or employee purchase plan) in a public sale for cash and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of the Registrable Securities (as defined in subsection (h) below) (a "Piggyback Registration "), whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company will give written notice to each of the Institutional Investors (and any transferees of such Institutional Investors) and each of the holders of Shares listed on Exhibit I hereto (collectively, including the Institutional Investors, the "Significant Holders ") (including Dresher, which, for purposes of this Section 4, shall include Dresher, his Related Parties and any transferees of Dresher and his Related Parties), at least fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated filing date, of its intention to effect such a registration, which notice will specify the kind and number of securities proposed to be registered, the distribution arrangements and such other information that at the time would be appropriate to include in such notice, and will, subject to subsection (a)(2) below, include in such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after delivery of the Company's notice. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, Registrable Securities with respect to which such request for registration has been received will be registered by the Company and offered to the public in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 4 on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the registration of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock) to be sold by the Company and by any other person selling under such registration. (2) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, advise the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that in its or their reasonable opinion or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration not being underwritten, the Company shall reasonably determine (and notify the holders of Registrable Securities of such determination), after consultation with an investment banker of nationally recognized standing, that the number or kind of securities proposed to be sold in such registration (including Registrable Securities to be included pursuant to subsection (a)(1) above) will materially adversely affect the success of 7 such offering, the Company will include in such registration the number of securities, if any, which, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters, or the Company, as the case may be, can be sold as follows: (i) first, the shares the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Significant Holders. To the extent that the privilege of including Registrable Securities in any Piggyback Registration must be allocated among the Significant Holders, the allocation shall be made pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that each such participant shall have requested to include therein. (3) Selection of Underwriters. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering (other than an offering initiated as a Demand Registration as provided in subsection (b) below), the Company will select a managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering, which managing underwriter or underwriters will be of nationally recognized standing and reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included therein. (b) Demand Registration Rights. (1) Right to Demand. At any time after (i) the Company is eligible to register Shares of Common Stock under the Act on Form S-3 and (ii) none of the Shares held by Dresher are subject to an underwriter lock-up agreement relating to such Shares, the Institutional Investors may, make a written request of the Company for registration with the Commission, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Act, of all or part of their Registrable Securities (a "Demand Registration"); provided, that (x) the Company need not effect a Demand Registration unless such Demand Registration shall include at least 50% of the Registrable Securities held on the date of such written request by the Institutional Investors collectively, (y) the Company may defer the filing of any registration statement relating to a Demand Registration for (i) a reasonable period of time (not to exceed ninety (90) days following the end of the most recently completed fiscal year or forty-five (45) days following the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter (whichever is later)) to the extent necessary to prepare the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal period most recently ended prior to the related request, (ii) up to ninety (90) days if the Company would be required to disclose in such registration statement the existence of any fact relating to a material business situation, transaction or negotiation not otherwise required to be disclosed, or (iii) up to ninety (90) days if the Company notifies the Institutional Investors that a registration at the time and on the terms requested would adversely affect any equity financing by the Company that had been contemplated by the Company prior to receipt of notice requesting registration pursuant to this Section 4(b), and (z) if the Company elects to defer any Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of this sentence, no Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement. Subject to subsection (3) below, the Company will include in such registration all Registrable Securities of such Significant Holders with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein. All requests made pursuant to this subsection (b)(1) will specify the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and will also specify the intended methods of disposition thereof. (2) Number of Demand Registrations. The Institutional Investors collectively shall be 8 entitled to one (1) Demand Registration. The expenses of the Institutional Investors requesting a Demand Registration shall be borne by the Company as provided in subsection (d) below. A Demand Registration shall not be counted as a Demand Registration hereunder until such Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and remains effective for at least 60 consecutive days without being interfered with by any (i) stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court or regulatory agency or exchange, including NASDAQ or NASD, or (ii) action by the Company or any stockholder (other than the Institutional Investor(s) requesting such Demand Registration) requiring the suspension of such offering. (3) Priority on Demand Registrations. If in any Demand Registration the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof (or in the case of a Demand Registration not being underwritten, in the opinion of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included therein), advise the Company in writing that in its or their reasonable opinion the number of securities proposed to be sold in such Demand Registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without having a material effect on the success of the offering (including, without limitation, an impact on the selling price or the number of Shares that any participant may sell), the Company will include in such registration only the number of securities that, in the reasonable opinion of such underwriter or underwriters (or holders of Registrable Securities, as the case may be) can be sold without having a material adverse effect on the success of the offering as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities held by the Institutional Investors that initiated such Demand Registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Significant Holders (excluding the Institutional Investors but including all other Significant Holders requesting to have Shares included in such Demand Registration pro rata among those requesting registration on the basis of the number of Shares requested to be included, and (iii) third, Shares to be issued and sold by the Company. (4) Selection of Underwriters. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration held by the Institutional Investors that initiated such Demand Registration shall have the right to select a managing underwriter or underwriters of recognized national standing that is or are reasonably satisfactory to the Company to administer the offering. (c) Registration Procedures. With respect to any Piggyback Registration or Demand Registration (generically, a "Registration"), the Company will, subject to Sections (4)(a)(2) and (4)(b)(3), as expeditiously as practicable: (1) prepare and file with the Commission, within ninety (90) days after mailing the applicable Notice, a registration statement or registration statements ("Registration Statement") relating to the applicable Registration on Form S-3; provided that the Company will include in any Registration Statement all information that the holders of the Registrable Securities so to be registered shall reasonably request and shall include all financial statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith, cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding such seller and the proposed distribution of such securities as required by applicable laws and regulations. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (3)(F) of this subsection (c), such holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such holder's 13 receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus as contemplated by subsection (11) of this subsection (c), or until it is advised in writing (the "Advice ") by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings, that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such holder will 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 covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the time periods referred to in subsection (2) of this subsection (c) shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (11) of this subsection (c) or the Advice. (d) Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this Section 4 will be borne by the Company, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, the fees and expenses of the counsel and accountants for the Company (including the expenses of any "cold comfort" letters), all other costs and expenses of the Company incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Act of the Registration Statement (and all amendments and supplements thereto) and furnishing copies thereof and of the Prospectus included therein, the costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the qualification of the Registrable Securities under the state securities or "blue sky" laws of various jurisdictions, the costs and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the NASD, the costs and expenses of listing the Registrable Securities for trading on a national securities exchange or authorizing them for trading on the NASDAQ National Market and all other costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any Registration hereunder and, in connection with a Demand Registration, the reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) firm of counsel selected by the Institutional Investors holding more than 50% of the Registrable Securities being sold or registered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section4(e)(2) below, the Company shall not bear the costs and expenses of any selling holders of Registrable Securities for underwriters' commissions or brokerage fees. (e) Indemnification. (1) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, each Institutional Investor, its officers, directors and agents and each person who controls such Institutional Investor (within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information with respect to such Institutional Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Institutional Investor or its representative expressly for use therein. The Company will also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the 14 distribution, their officers and directors and each person who controls such persons (within the meaning of the Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Institutional Investor; provided, however, if pursuant to an underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities, the Company and any underwriters enter into an underwriting or purchase agreement relating to such offering that contains provisions relating to indemnification and contribution between the Company and such underwriters, such provisions shall be deemed to govern indemnification and contribution as between the Company and such underwriters. (2) Indemnification by Institutional Investors. In connection with any registration in which an Institutional Investor is participating, each such Institutional Investor will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Institutional Investor as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus and agrees to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, the directors and officers of the Company signing the Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act) and all underwriters participating in the distribution against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus (in the case of the Prospectus or any 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 with respect to such Institutional Investor so furnished in writing by such Institutional Investor or its representative specifically for inclusion therein. In no event shall the liability of any Institutional Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Institutional Investor upon the sale of the 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 respect to information with respect to such persons or entities so furnished in writing by such persons or entities or their representatives specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement. (3) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person or entity entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by the indemnified party of a written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such indemnified party will claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding clauses (1) and (2), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will be required to consent to the entry of any judgment or to enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term 15 thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel in any one jurisdiction for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. (4) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding clauses (1) and (2) is unavailable to an indemnified party as contemplated by the preceding clauses (1) and (2), then the indemnifying party in lieu of indemnification shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, provided that no Institutional Investor shall be required to contribute in an amount greater than the difference between the net proceeds received by such Institutional Investor with respect to the sale of any Shares and all amounts already contributed by such Institutional Investor with respect to such claims, including amounts paid for any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such Institutional Investor. (f) Rule 144. The Company agrees that at all times after it has filed a registration statement pursuant to the requirements of the Act relating to any class of equity securities of the Company, it will file in a timely manner all reports required to be filed by it pursuant to the Act and the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may deregister any class of its equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or suspend its duty to file reports with respect to any class of its securities pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if it is then permitted to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. (g) Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Institutional Investor may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Institutional Investor (i) agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to select the underwriter pursuant to subsections (3)(a)(3) and (3)(b)(4) above, and (ii) accurately completes in a timely manner and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements, custody agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. (h) Definition of Registrable Securities. "Registrable Securities" means the Shares held by the Institutional Investors as of the date this Agreement or hereafter acquired, but with respect to any such Share, only until such time as such Share (i) has been effectively registered under the Act and disposed of in accordance with the Registration Statement covering it or (ii) has been sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Act. (i) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Section 4, including the 16 provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers of or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless approved by the Company in writing and the Company has obtained the written consent of Institutional Investors holding at least a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. This Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or supplemented only by a written instrument executed by all the parties hereto that are required to execute the same. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach and no failure by any party to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such party's rights or privileges hereunder or shall be deemed a waiver of such party's rights to exercise the same at any subsequent time or times hereunder. SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, heirs, legatees, successors and assigns including any party to which any Institutional Investor has transferred or sold his or its Shares. Each transferee of Shares from an Institutional Investor shall take such Shares subject to the same restrictions as existed in the hands of the transferor. Shares sold to the public pursuant to an effective Registration Statement shall no longer be subject to any of the provisions of this Agreement. (b) Specific Performance, Etc. The Company and each of the Institutional Investors and Dresher, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Company's Articles of Incorporation or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. (c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally, when transmitted by telecopy, electronic or digital transmission method, or sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) postage prepaid to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for any party as shall be specified by like notice, provided that notices of a change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof).
