limitations, restrictions and provisions set forth in Sections 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5
hereof, the Required Investors may, at any time or from time to time from and
after the earlier to occur of (a) the closing of the Corporation's initial
public offering and (b) March 17, 2002, notify the Corporation in writing that
such Required Investors desire the Corporation to cause all or any number of the
Registrable Shares held by such Required Investors to be registered under the
Securities Act, pursuant to this Section 2.1, for sale to the public. Such
written notice by the Required Investors shall specify the intended method of
disposition of such Registrable Shares. Upon receipt of such written notice from
the Required Investors, the Corporation shall promptly notify in writing all
other Investors that it has received such written notice from the Required
Investors, and such other Investors shall have a period of twenty (20) business
days following receipt of such written notice from the Corporation to notify the
Corporation in writing whether such other Investors, or any of them, desire to
have any of their Registrable Shares registered under the Securities Act,
pursuant to this Section 2.1, for sale to the public. Thereafter, subject to the
conditions, limitations, restrictions and provisions set forth below in Sections
2.3, 2.6 and 2.7 hereof and subject to compliance by the Required Investors with
the conditions, limitations, restrictions and provisions of Sections 2.2, 2.4
and 2.5 hereof in making any request pursuant to this Section 2.1, the
Corporation shall, promptly following the expiration of such twenty (20)
business day period, prepare and file, and use best efforts to prosecute to
effectiveness, an appropriate filing with the Commission of a registration
statement covering all of those Registrable Shares that the Required Investors
and such other Investors (collectively, with the Required Investors who gave
notice under this Section 2.1, the "Requesting Investors") have requested to be
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 2.1. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2.3 hereof, the Corporation may include in any
registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 additional shares of Common Stock for
sale for its own account or for the account of any other Person.
2.2 No Right to Underwritten Offering. Neither the Required
Investors nor any of the other Requesting Investors shall have the right to
request that the offering, sale, disposition or distribution of any Registrable
Shares to be registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof
be effected pursuant to an underwritten offering. The Corporation may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, decide or determine that any Registrable Shares to
be registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall be
offered, sold, disposed of or distributed in an underwritten offering; provided,
however, that a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall be
underwritten if (i) those Requesting Investors that hold a majority of the
Registrable Shares to be registered under the Securities Act pursuant to such
registration so decide or determine and the total number of Registrable Shares
to be so registered pursuant to such registration is at least 1,000,000 shares
(subject to proportionate adjustment upon any stock
3
7
split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or like event of the Common Stock)
and (ii) such registration, together with all prior underwritten registrations
pursuant to Section 2.1 and/or Section 4.1 hereof, do not exceed a maximum of
two (2) underwritten registrations. If a registration pursuant to Section 2.1
hereof involves an underwritten offering, the underwriter or underwriters
thereof shall be selected by the Corporation, subject to the reasonable approval
of the Requesting Investors, and each of the Requesting Investors shall be
required to accept and agree to the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon
between the Corporation and such underwriter or underwriters.
2.3 Priority of Demand Registrations. If a registration pursuant to
Section 2.1 hereof involves an underwritten offering, and the managing
underwriter shall advise the Corporation in writing that, in its opinion, the
number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration
exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, then, notwithstanding
anything in Section 2.1 to the contrary, the Corporation shall only be required
to include in such registration, to the extent of the number of shares of Common
Stock which the Corporation is so advised can be sold in such offering, (i)
first, the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included in such
registration by the Requesting Investors, pro rata among the Requesting
Investors on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares that each of them
requested to be included in such registration and (ii) second, the other shares
of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, in accordance with
the priorities, if any, then existing among the Corporation and/or the holders
of such other shares of Common Stock, or as the Corporation may otherwise
determine.
2.4 Limitation on Number of Requests. Subject to the provisions set
forth below in this Section 2.4, the Required Investors shall not be entitled to
request more than two (2) registrations, in the aggregate, pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.1 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.4
to the contrary, in no event shall the Required Investors be entitled to request
more than one (1) registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof within any 180-day
period.
2.5 Limitation on Timing of Requests. Notwithstanding anything
expressed or implied in this Section 2 to the contrary, the Required Investors
may not request a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof (i) at any time
during the 180-day period following the closing of the Corporation's initial
public offering, (ii) at any time during the period commencing on the date that
any other request for registration has been made pursuant to, and in accordance
with, Section 2.1, Section 3.1 or Section 4.1 hereof and ending on the 180th day
following the effective date of any registration statement filed by the
Corporation with the Commission in connection with such other request, (iii) at
any time during the period commencing on the date that any registration
statement has been filed by the Corporation with the Commission in which the
Investors have had the right to participate in connection with an underwritten
offering and ending on the 180th day following the effective date of such
registration statement, and/or (iv) at any time when the Corporation is eligible
to file registration statements with the Commission on Form S-3 (or any
successor Form).
2.6 Limitation on Corporation's Obligation. Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 2 to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated to
effect any registration pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof:
4
8
(i) if, within fifteen (15) days after the Corporation receives
written notice from the Required Investors requesting any registration pursuant
to Section 2.1 hereof, the Corporation gives written notice to the Required
Investors that the Corporation intends to file a registration statement with the
Commission within 90 days in connection with a public offering of the
Corporation's securities; or
(ii) if the number of Registrable Shares that the Required
Investors request to be included in a registration pursuant to Section 2.1
hereof is less than twenty five percent (25%) of all of the Conversion Shares,
unless the aggregate offering price of such number of Registrable Shares is
$8,000,000 or more.
2.7 Deferral. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2 to the
contrary, if the Corporation shall furnish to the Required Investors a
certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation stating that the Board of Directors of the Corporation has made the
good faith determination that any registration requested by the Required
Investors pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof would require premature disclosure of
information which would materially interfere with any pending or proposed
acquisition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving
the Corporation and that it is therefore essential to defer such registration,
then the Corporation shall have the right to defer such registration for a
period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request from the Required
Investors; provided that the Corporation can only effect such deferral once
during any consecutive twelve (12) month period.
3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
3.1 Piggyback Registration. If, at any time after the Corporation's
initial public offering, the Corporation proposes to register any of its Common
Stock under the Securities Act, whether for its own account or for the account
of any stockholder of the Corporation or pursuant to registration rights granted
to holders of other securities of the Corporation (but excluding in all cases
any registrations pursuant to Sections 2 or 4 hereof or any registrations to be
effected on Forms S-4 or S-8 or other applicable successor Forms), the
Corporation shall, each such time, give to the Investors written notice of its
intent to do so. Upon the written request of any Investor (each a "Piggyback
Requesting Investor") given within twenty (20) days after the giving of any such
notice by the Corporation, the Corporation shall use best efforts to cause to be
included in such registration the Registrable Shares of such Piggyback
Requesting Investor, to the extent requested to be registered; provided,
however, that the obligations of the Corporation under this Section 3.1 shall be
subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in Section 3.2 and
Section 3.3 below.
3.2 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering
involving an underwriting of shares being issued by the Corporation, the
Corporation shall not be required under Section 3.1 hereof to include the
Registrable Shares of any Investor therein unless such Investor accepts and
agrees to the terms of the underwriting in substantially the same form of
agreement between the Corporation and the underwriters selected by the
Corporation.
3.3 Reduction of Shares to be Included in a Registration. If a
registration pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof involves an underwritten offering,
and the managing underwriter shall advise the Corporation in writing that, in
its opinion, the number of shares of Common
5
9
Stock requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can
be sold in such offering, then, notwithstanding anything in Section 3.1 to the
contrary, the Corporation shall only be required to include in such
registration, to the extent of the number of shares of Common Stock which the
Corporation is so advised can be sold in such offering, (i) first, the number of
shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration for the
account of the Corporation and/or any stockholders of the Corporation (other
than the Investors) that have exercised demand registration rights, in
accordance with the priorities, if any, then existing among the Corporation
and/or such stockholders of the Corporation (other than the Investors), and (ii)
second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration
by all other stockholders of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the
Piggyback Requesting Investors), pro rata among such other stockholders
(including, without limitation, the Piggyback Requesting Investors) on the basis
of the number of shares of Common Stock that each of them requested to be
included in such registration.
4. FORM S-3 REGISTRATION.
4.1 Registration Upon Request. Subject to the conditions,
limitations, restrictions and provisions set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.4
hereof, the Required Investors may, at any time or from time to time from and
after the first anniversary of the closing of the Corporation's initial public
offering, notify the Corporation in writing that such Required Investors desire
that the Corporation effect, pursuant to this Section 4.1, a registration on
Form S-3 with respect to all or any number of the Registrable Shares owned by
such Required Investors. Such written notice by such Required Investors shall
specify the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares. Upon
receipt of such written notice from the Required Investors the Corporation shall
promptly notify in writing all other Investors that it has received such written
notice, and such other Investors shall have a period of twenty (20) business
days following receipt of such written notice from the Corporation to notify the
Corporation in writing whether such other Investors, or any of them, desire to
have any of their Registrable Shares included in such registration on Form S-3
pursuant to this Section 4.1 (those of such other Investors that desire to have
any of their Registrable Shares included in such registration on Form S-3 being
hereinafter referred to, collectively, with the Required Investors who gave
notice under this Section 4.1, as the "Shelf Requesting Investors"). Thereafter,
subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions and provisions set forth
below in Sections 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6 hereof and subject to compliance by the
Required Investors with the conditions, limitations, restrictions and provisions
of Sections 4.2 and 4.4 hereof in making any request pursuant to this Section
4.1 hereof, the Corporation shall, promptly following the expiration of such
twenty (20) business day period, prepare and file with the Commission, and use
best efforts to prosecute to effectiveness, a registration statement on Form S-3
covering all of those Registrable Shares that the Shelf Requesting Investors
have requested to be registered under the Securities Act on Form S-3 pursuant to
this Section 4.1. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3 hereof, the
Corporation may include in any registration on Form S-3 pursuant to this Section
4.1 additional shares of Common Stock for sale for its own account or for the
account of any other Person.
4.2 No Right to Underwritten Offering. Subject to the provisions set
forth below in this Section 4.2, the Shelf Requesting Investors shall not have
the right to request that the offering, sale, disposition or distribution of any
Registrable Shares to be registered under the Securities Act on Form S-3
pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof be effected pursuant to an
6
10
underwritten offering. The Corporation may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
decide or determine that any Registrable Shares to be registered under the
Securities Act on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof shall be offered,
sold, disposed of or distributed in an underwritten offering; provided, however,
that a registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof shall be
underwritten if (i) those Shelf Requesting Investors that hold a majority of the
Registrable Shares to be registered under the Securities Act pursuant to such
registration on Form S-3 so decide or determine and the total number of
Registrable Shares to be so registered pursuant to such registration is at least
1,000,000 shares (subject to proportionate adjustment upon any stock split,
stock dividend, reverse stock split or like event of the Common Stock) and (ii)
such registration on Form S-3, together with all prior underwritten
registrations pursuant to Section 2.1 and/or Section 4.1 hereof, do not exceed a
maximum of three underwritten registrations. If a registration on Form S-3
pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof involves an underwritten offering, the
underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be selected by the Corporation,
subject to the reasonable approval of the Shelf Requesting Investors, and each
of the Shelf Requesting Investors shall be required to accept and agree to the
terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Corporation and such
underwriter or underwriters.
4.3 Priority of Shelf Registrations. If a registration on Form S-3
pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof involves an underwritten offering, and the
managing underwriter shall advise the Corporation in writing that, in its
opinion, the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, then,
notwithstanding anything in Section 4.1 to the contrary, the Corporation shall
only be required to include in such registration, to the extent of the number of
shares of Common Stock which the Corporation is so advised can be sold in such
offering, (i) first, the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included
in such registration by the Shelf Requesting Investors, pro rata among the Shelf
Requesting Investors on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares that each
of them requested to be included in such registration and (ii) second, the other
shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration, in
accordance with the priorities, if any, then existing among the Corporation
and/or the holders of such other shares of Common Stock, or as the Corporation
may otherwise determine.
4.4 Limitation on Timing of Requests. Notwithstanding anything
expressed or implied in this Section 4 to the contrary, the Required Investors
may not request a registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof (i)
more than once during any 180-day period, (ii) at any time during the period
commencing on the date that any other request for registration has been made
pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 2.1, Section 3.1 or Section 4.1
hereof and ending on the 180th day following the effective date of any
registration statement filed by the Corporation with the Commission in
connection with such other request and (iii) at any time during the period
commencing on the date that any registration statement has been filed by the
Corporation with the Commission in which the Investors have had the right to
participate in connection with an underwritten offering and ending on the 180th
day following the effective date of such registration statement.
4.5 Limitation on Corporation's Obligation. Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 4 to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated to
effect any registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof:
7
11
(i) if, within fifteen (15) days after the Corporation receives
written notice from the Required Investors requesting any registration on Form
S-3 pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the Corporation gives written notice to the
Required Investors that the Corporation intends to file a registration statement
with the Commission within 90 days in connection with a public offering of the
Corporation's securities; or
(ii) if the aggregate offering price of the number of
Registrable Shares that the Required Investors request to be included in a
registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof is less than twenty-five
percent (25%) of all of the Conversion Shares, unless the aggregate offering
price of such number of Registrable Share is $2,000,000 or more.
4.6 Deferral. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the
contrary, if the Corporation shall furnish to the Required Investors a
certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation stating that the Board of Directors of the Corporation has made the
good faith determination that any registration on Form S-3 requested by such
Required Investors pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof would require premature
disclosure of information which would materially interfere with any pending or
proposed acquisition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction
involving the Corporation and that it is therefore essential to defer such
registration, then the Corporation shall have the right to defer such
registration for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request
from such Initial Section 4.1 Requesting Investors; provided that the
Corporation can only effect such deferral once during any consecutive twelve
(12) month period.
5. ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. Whenever the Corporation is
required under Section 2, 3 or 4 hereof to use best efforts to effect the
registration of any of the Registrable Shares of the Investors, the Corporation
shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
with respect to such Registrable Shares and use best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become and remain effective; provided, however, that
the Corporation shall in no event be obligated to cause any such registration
statement to remain effective for more than 90 days; and provided, further,
that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(a) to the contrary, before
filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements
thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing
of the registration statement and prior to effectiveness thereof, the
Corporation shall furnish to counsel to the Selling Investors (if there is one,
or counsel to each Selling Investor, if there is more than one), as such term is
defined below, copies of all such documents in the form substantially as
proposed to be filed with the Commission prior to filing for review and comment
by such counsel;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by such
registration statement, provided that if the registration is for an underwritten
offering, the Corporation shall amend the registration statement or supplement
the prospectus whenever required by the terms of the underwriting agreement
entered into in connection with such offering;
8
12
(c) furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Shares are being
registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2, 3 or 4 hereof
(individually, a "Selling Investor" and, collectively, the "Selling Investors")
such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents
(including, without limitation, prospectus amendments and supplements as are
prepared by the Corporation in accordance with Section 5(d) below) as such
Selling Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of the Registrable Shares of such Selling Investor that are being so registered;
(d) notify each Selling Investor, at any time when a prospectus
relating to any registration statement filed by the Corporation pursuant to
Section 2, 3 or 4 hereof is required to be delivered under the Securities Act,
of the happening of any event as a result of which such prospectus contains an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; and, thereafter, the Corporation will
promptly prepare (and, when completed, give notice to each Selling Investor) a
supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to
the purchasers of any Registrable Shares offered pursuant to such prospectus,
such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
provided that upon notification by the Corporation that such prospectus contains
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, no Selling Investor will offer or sell
Registrable Shares pursuant to such prospectus until the Corporation has
notified such Selling Investor that the Corporation has prepared a supplement or
amendment to such prospectus and has promptly delivered copies of such
supplement or amendment to such Selling Investor;
(e) use the Corporations' best efforts (i) to register and qualify
the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or Blue Sky laws of such states or jurisdictions as shall be
reasonably requested by the Underwriter's Representative or Agent (as
applicable, or if inapplicable, a majority of the Selling Investors), and (ii)
to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a
registration statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification
(or exemption from qualification) of the offer and transfer of any of the
Registrable Securities in any jurisdiction at the earliest possible moment;
provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required in connection
therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a
general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;
(f) in the event of any underwritten or agent offering, enter into
and perform the Corporation's obligations under an underwriting or agency
agreement (including indemnification and contribution obligations of
underwriters or agents), in usual and customary form, with the managing
underwriter or underwriters of or agents for such offering;
(g) reasonably cooperate with the Selling Investors and the
Underwriters' Representative or Agent for such offering in the marketing of the
Registrable Shares, including making reasonably available the Corporation's
officers, accountants, counsel, premises, books and records for such purpose;
9
13
(h) promptly notify each Selling Investor of any stop order issued
or threatened to be issued by the Commission in connection therewith (and take
all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to
remove it if entered);
(i) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and
registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement
from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration
statement;
(j) use all reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement (i) if the Common Stock is then listed on
a securities exchange or included for quotation in a recognized trading market,
to continue to be so listed or included for a reasonable period of time after
the offering, and (ii) to be registered with or approved by such other United
States or state governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by
virtue of the business and operations of the Corporation to enable the Selling
Investors of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities;
(k) use the Corporation's reasonable efforts to provide a CUSIP
number for the Registrable Securities prior to the effective date of the first
registration statement including Registrable Securities; and
(l) take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to
expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities included in
each such registration.
6. FURNISH INFORMATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Corporation to take any action pursuant to this Agreement
that the Investors shall furnish to the Corporation such information regarding
them and the securities of the Corporation held by them as the Corporation shall

a party hereto.
10. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event that any Registrable Shares are
included in a registration statement pursuant to this Agreement:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Corporation will indemnify
and hold harmless the Selling Investor or the Selling Investors, as the case may
be, that hold such Registrable Shares, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which any such Selling Investor may become
subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration
statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission in such registration statement, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, of any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and the Corporation
will reimburse any such Selling Investor for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by any such Selling Investor in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if
it is judicially determined that there were material misstatements or omissions.
Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(a) to
the contrary, (i) the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10(a) shall
not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the
Corporation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (ii) the
Corporation shall not be liable under this Section 10(a) for or in connection
with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission made in connection with such registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, final prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in
connection with such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereto by any such Selling Investor.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Selling Investor
severally, but not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and
each of its directors and officers, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which the Corporation or any such director or officer may become
subject to, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or
are based upon any
11
15
untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement,
including any preliminary prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus contained therein
or any amendments or supplements thereto, of any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in
each case to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in such
registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or amendments
or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Selling Investor expressly for use in connection
with such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus
and/or amendments or supplements thereto; and such Selling Investor will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Corporation or
any such director or officer in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined
that there were material misstatements or omissions. Notwithstanding anything in
the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(b) to the contrary, (i) the
liability of such Selling Investor under this Section 10(b) shall be limited to
the proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) received by
such Selling Investor from the sale of any Registrable Shares of such Selling
Investor included in such registration statement, and (ii) the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of such Selling Investor (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified
party, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in and, to the extent the indemnifying party
desires, to assume at its expense the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties. The failure to notify an indemnifying party
promptly of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability
to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 10.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary,
if, in connection with an underwritten public offering, the Corporation, the
Selling Investors and the underwriters enter into an underwriting or purchase
agreement relating to such offering which contains provisions covering
indemnification among the parties, then the indemnification provision of this
Section 10 shall be deemed inoperative for purposes of such offering.
11. TERMINATION; RULE 144. The rights and obligations of any Investor
under this Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date on which
such Investor becomes eligible to sell Registrable Shares pursuant to Rule 144
or (ii) the date on which such Investor shall cease to own any Registrable
Shares. The Corporation will file the reports required to be filed by it under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner, and will cooperate
with any holder of Registrable Shares (including without limitation by make such
representations as any such holder may reasonably request), all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Shares
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the
exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including without limitation the
requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4).)
