SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Security Agreement, Pledge and Assignment (this "Security
Agreement") dated and effective as of October 20, 2000, is made by ORANGE
PRODUCTIONS, INC. (the "Borrower"), a Florida corporation, as the debtor, to
CAPITAL CONSULTANTS, INC. (the "Lender"), a Kentucky corporation as the secured
party, in connection with the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:
(1) The Borrower and the Lender have made and entered into a Loan
Agreement (as it now exists or subsequently may be modified, the "Loan
Agreement") effective as of October 20, 2000. The Borrower will derive
substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by
the Loan Agreement.
(2) It is a condition precedent to the making of Loans by the Lender
under the Loan Agreement that the Borrower shall have made the pledge and
granted the assignment and security interest contemplated by this Security
Agreement.
(3) All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Security
Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce
the Lender to make Loans under the Loan Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees
with the Lender as follows:
Section 1.01. Pledge, Assignment and Grant of Security. The Borrower
hereby assigns and pledges to the Lender, and hereby grants to the Lender a
security interest in all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to
the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (the "Collateral"):
(1) All equipment in all its forms, wherever located, now or hereafter
existing, all fixtures and all parts thereof and all accessions thereto (any and
all such equipment, fixtures, parts, and accessions being the "Equipment");
(2) All inventory in all of its forms, wherever located, now or
hereafter existing and raw materials and work in process therefor, finished
goods thereof, and materials used or consumed in the manufacture or production
thereof; (b) goods in which the Borrower has an interest in mass or a joint or
other interest or right of any kind (including, without limitation, goods in
which the Borrower has an interest or right as consignee); and (c) goods which
are returned to or repossessed by the Borrower), and all accessions thereto and
products thereof and documents therefor (any and all such inventory, accessions,
products, and documents being the "Inventory"); and
(3) All accounts, contract rights, chattel paper and instruments, now
or hereafter existing, whether or not arising out of or in connection with the
sale or lease of goods or the rendering of services, and all rights now or
hereafter existing in and to all security agreements, leases, and other
contracts securing or otherwise relating to any such accounts, contract rights,
chattel paper and instruments (any and all such accounts, contract rights,
chattel paper and instruments, being the "Receivables", and any and all such
leases, security agreements, and other contracts being the "Related Contracts");
(4) All proceeds of any and all of the foregoing Collateral (including,
without limitation, proceeds which constitute property of the types described in
clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 1.01), and, to the extent not otherwise
included, all (a) payments under insurance (whether or not the Lender is the
loss payee thereof), or any indemnity, warranty, or guaranty, payable by reason
of loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing
Collateral, and (b) cash.
Section 2.01. Security for Obligations. This Security Agreement secures
the payment for all obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under
the Loan Agreement, the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement, whether for
principal, interest, fees, expenses, or otherwise, and all obligations of the
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Security Agreement (collectively,
the "Obligations"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this
Security Agreement secures the payment of all amounts which constitute part of
the Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower to the Lender under any of the
Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable
owing to the existence of bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceedings
involving the Borrower.
Section 3.01. Borrower Remains Liable. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (1) the Borrower shall remain liable under the contracts and
agreements included in the collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform
all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this
Security Agreement had not been excluded; (2) the exercise by the Lender of any
rights hereunder shall not release the Borrower from any of its duties or
obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral; and
(3) the Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under the contracts
and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Security Agreement,
nor shall the Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of
the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim
for payment assigned hereunder.
Section 4.01. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents
and warrants as follows:
(1) All of the Equipment and Inventory are located at the places
specified in Schedule I hereto. The chief place of business and chief executive
office of the Borrower and the office where the Borrower keeps its records
concerning the Receivables, and the originals of all chattel paper that evidence
Receivables, and the original copies of the Assigned Agreements, are located at
its address specified in Section 17.01. None of the Receivables is evidenced by
a promissory note or other instrument.
(2) The Borrower is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral
free and clear of any Lien except for (i) the security interest created by this

or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except (i)
such as may have been filed in favor of the Lender relating to this Security
Agreement, and (ii) the financing statements described in Schedule II. The
Borrower has no trade names except as set forth on Schedule III.
(3) Except as provided on Schedule I, the Borrower has exclusive
possession and control of the Equipment and Inventory.
(4) Except as set forth on Schedule I, this Security Agreement creates
a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral,
securing the payment of the Obligations, and all filings and other actions
necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest have been
duly taken.
(5) The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing,
and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;
has the corporate power and authority to own its assets and to transact its
business, and is duly qualified and in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction in which qualification is required.
(6) The execution and performance by the Borrower of this Security
Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not
and will not (a) require any consent or approval of the Borrowers stockholders;
(b) contravene the Borrower's charter or bylaws; (c) violate any provision of
any law, rule, or regulation; or (d) result in a breach of or constitute a
default under any indenture or loan or Loan Agreement or any other agreement,
lease, or instrument to which the Borrower is a party or by which it or its
properties may be bound or affected.
(7) This Security Agreement is the legal, valid, and binding obligation
of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except to
the extent that such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally.
(8) No consent of any other person or entity and no authorization,
approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental
authority or regulatory body is required (a) for the pledge by the Borrower of
the Security Collateral pursuant to this Security Agreement, for the grant by
the Borrower of the assignment and security interest granted hereby or for the
execution, delivery, or performance of this Security Agreement by the Borrower;
(b) for the perfection or maintenance of the pledge, assignment, and security
interest created hereby (including the first priority nature of such pledge,
assignment, and security interest); or (c) for the exercise by the Lender of the
voting or other rights provided for in this Security Agreement or the remedies
in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Security Agreement (except as may
be required in connection with the disposition of any portion of the Security
Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally).
(9) The Inventory has been produced by the Borrower in compliance with
all requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
(10) There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this
Security Agreement that have not been satisfied or waived.
(11) The Borrower has, independently and without reliance upon the
Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Security Agreement.
Section 5.01. Further Assurances.
(1) The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the
Borrower, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable,
or that the Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any
pledge, assignment or security interest granted or purported to be granted
hereby or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Borrower will execute and file such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may
be necessary or desirable, or as the Lender may request, in order to perfect and
preserve the pledge, assignment, and security interest granted or purported to
be granted hereby.
(2) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to file one or more
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or
any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Borrower where permitted
by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any
financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(3) The Borrower will furnish to the Lender from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Lender may
reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
Section 6.01. As to Equipment and Inventory.
(1) The Borrower shall keep the Equipment and Inventory (other than
Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business) at the places therefor
specified in Section 4.01(1) or, upon 10 days prior written notice to the
Lender, at such other places in a jurisdiction where all action required by
Section 5.01 shall have been taken with respect to the Equipment and Inventory.
(2) The Borrower shall cause the Equipment to be maintained and
preserved in the same condition, repair, and working order as when new, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, and in accordance with any manufacturer's manual, and
shall forthwith, or in the case of any loss or damage to any of the Equipment as
quickly as practicable after the occurrence thereof, make or cause to be made
all repairs, replacements, and other improvements in connection therewith which
are necessary or desirable to such end. The Borrower shall promptly furnish to
the Lender a statement respecting any loss or damage to any of the Equipment.
(3) The Borrower shall pay promptly when due all property and other
taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all
claims (including claims for labor, materials, and supplies) against, the
Equipment and Inventory. In producing the Inventory, the Borrower shall comply
with all requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Section 7.01. Insurance.
(1) the Borrower shall, at its own expense, maintain insurance with
respect to the Equipment and Inventory in such amounts, against such risks, in
such form and with such insurers, as shall be satisfactory to the Lender from
time to time. The Borrower's current insurers are satisfactory to the Lender.
Each policy for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on
behalf of the Lender and the Borrower as their respective interests may appear
and each policy for property damage insurance shall provide for all losses
(except for losses of less than $10,000 per occurrence) to be paid directly to
the Lender. Each such policy shall in addition (a) name the Borrower and the
Lender as insured parties thereunder (without any representation or warranty by
or obligation upon the Lender) as their interests may appear; (b) contain the
agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Lender
notwithstanding any action, inaction, or breach of representation or warranty by
the Borrower; (c) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Lender for
payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto; and (d) provide that
at least ten days prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be
given to the Lender by the insurer. The Borrower shall, if so requested by the
Lender, deliver to the Lender original or duplicate policies of such insurance
and, as often as the Lender may reasonably request, a report of a reputable
insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Further, the Borrower shall, at
the request of the Lender, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of
such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of Section 6.01 and
cause the insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
(2) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.01 may be paid directly to the person who
shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss
involving damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (3) of this Section
7.01 is not applicable, the Borrower shall make or cause to be made the
necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any
proceeds of insurance maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.01
shall be paid to the Borrower as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or
replacements.
(3) Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, or (b) the actual or constructive total loss (in excess of US$10,000
per occurrence) of any Equipment or Inventory, all insurance payments in respect
of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to and applied by the Lender as
specified in Section 13.01(2).
Section 8.01. Place of Perfection; Records, Collection of Receivables.
(1) The Borrower shall keep its chief place of business and chief
executive office and the office where it keeps its records concerning the
Receivables, and the original copies of the Assigned Agreements and the
originals of all chattel paper that evidence Receivables, at the location
therefor specified in Section 4.01(1) or, upon 30 days prior written notice to
the Lender, at any other locations in a jurisdiction where all actions required
by Section 6.01 shall have been taken with respect to the Receivables. The
Borrower will hold and preserve such records, Assigned Agreements and chattel
paper and will permit representatives of the Lender at any time during normal
business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records and chattel
paper.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (2), the Borrower
shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due
the Borrower under the Receivables. In connection with such collections, the
Borrower may take (and, at the Lender's direction, shall take) such action as
the Borrower or the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection
of the Receivables: provided, however, that the Lender shall have the right upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or an event
which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an
Event of Default and upon written notice to the Borrower of its intention to do
so, to notify the account debtors or obligors under any Receivables of the
assignment of such Receivables to the Lender and subject to any priority
interests of other secured creditors to direct such account debtors or obligors
to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder
directly to the Lender and upon such notification and at the expense of the
Borrower, to enforce collection of any such Receivables, and to adjust, settle,
or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as the Borrower might have done. After receipt by the Borrower of the
notice from the Lender referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (a)
all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by the Borrower in
respect of the Receivables shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Lender hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of the Borrower, and
shall be forthwith paid over to the Lender in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash collateral and either (i) released
to the Borrower so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or (ii) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, applied as provided by Section 13.01(2), and (b) the Borrower shall
not adjust, settle, or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable,
release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any
credit or discount thereon.
Section 9.01. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares.
(1) The Borrower shall not (a) sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise), or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of
the Collateral, except Inventory in the ordinary course of business, or (b)
create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the
Collateral, except for the security interest under this Security Agreement.
Section 10.01. Lender Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. The Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints the Lender the Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of the Borrower and in the name of the Borrower
or otherwise, from time to time in the Lender's discretion, to take any action
and to execute any instrument which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable
to accomplish the purposed of this Security Agreement (subject to the rights of
the Borrower under Section 8.01), including, without limitation, upon five days
notice to the Borrower:
(1) To obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Lender

(2) To ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in

(4) To file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
which the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of
the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to
any of the Collateral.
Section 11.01. Lender May Perform. If the Borrower fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Lender may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Borrower under Section 14.01 (2). 5 days after

received by it hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as
to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders, or other matters relative to any Security Collateral,
whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or
as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties
or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Lender shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral
in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to that which it accords its own property.
Section 13.01 Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing:
(1) The Lender may exercise in respect of the collateral, in addition
to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it,

require the Borrower to, and the Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its
expense and upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all of part of the
Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a

below), sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any of the Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on

commercially reasonable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least ten days notice to the Borrower of the time
and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be
made shall constitute reasonable notification. the Lender shall not be obligated
to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the
Lender, be held by the Lender as Collateral for, and/or then or any time
thereafter be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Lender
pursuant to Section 19.01) in whole or in part by the Lender against, all or any
part of the Obligations in such order as the Lender shall elect. Any surplus of
such cash or cash proceeds held by the Lender and remaining after payment in
full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
(3) The Lender may exercise any and all rights and remedies of the
Borrower under or in connection with the Assigned Agreements or otherwise in
respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all rights of
the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or
performance of any provision of, any Assigned Agreement.

any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be
received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated from other
funds of the Borrower and shall be forthwith paid over to the Lender in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

and all claims, losses, and liabilities (including reasonable attorney fees)
growing out of or resulting from this Security Agreement (including, without
limitation, enforcement of this Security Agreement), except claims, losses, or
liabilities resulting from the Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(2) The Borrower will upon demand pay to the Lender the amount of any
and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its
counsel and of any experts and Lenders, which the Lender may incur in connection
with (a) the administration of this Security Agreement; (b) the custody,
preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, any of the Collateral; (c) the exercise or enforcement of any
of the rights of the Lender hereunder; or (d) the failure by the Borrower to
perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

the pledge, assignment, and security interest hereunder, and all obligations of
the Borrower hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:
(1) Any lack of validity, regularity, or enforceability of the Loan
Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(2) Any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver

statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material
fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances then existing; and
(f) furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of

if any, and each Person who controls any underwriter, against all claims,
losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including
any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or
threatened, to which they may become subject under the Registrable
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, arising out
of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other
similar document (including any related registration statement,
notification or the like)
4
incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on
any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, or (ii) any violation by the Company of any federal, state
or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company in connection
with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse
each such Holder's Parties each such underwriter, and each Person who
controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, as incurred, provided that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any
untrue statement or omission, made in reliance on and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by such Holder's Parties or
underwriter or Person controlling such underwriter specifically for use in
the preparation thereof.
(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are
included in the Registrable Securities as to which such registration,
qualification or compliance is being effected, severally and not jointly,
indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each
underwriter, if any, of the Company Registrable Securities covered by such
a registration statement, and each Person who controls the Company or such
underwriter within the meaning of the Registrable Securities Act, against
all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other similar document, or any omission
(or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse the Company, such directors, officers, Persons,
underwriters or control Persons for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or action, as incurred, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged
untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such
registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in
reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to
the Company by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof,
or (ii) any violation by any such Holder of any federal, state or common
law rule or regulation applicable to such Holder in connection with the
distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration
statement, and will reimburse the Company, such Holders, such directors,
officers, Persons, underwriters or control Persons for any legal any other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, as incurred; provided,
however, that the obligations of each such Holder hereunder shall be
limited to an amount equal to the aggregate proceeds received by such
Holder in such offering.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.4 (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified
Party has received written notice of any claim as to which indemnity may be
sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of
any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel
for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or
litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval
shall not unreasonably be withheld). The Indemnified Party may participate
in such defense at such party's expense; provided, however, that the
Indemnifying Party shall bear the expense of such defense of one counsel
representing the Indemnified Party if representation of both parties by the
same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of
interest. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give
5
notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations under this Section 2.4, except to the extent such failure to
give notice shall materially and adversely prejudice the Indemnifying Party
in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation. No Indemnifying
Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with
the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(d) (i) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.4 is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an
Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party hereunder shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the
other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the
Indemnified Party and the parties' relevant intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunities to correct or prevent such statement
or omission.
(ii)The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 2.4 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to above. The amount
paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the claims,
losses, damages and liabilities referred to above 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.
(iiiNo Holder that is a seller of Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement or Person controlling such seller other
than the Company shall be obligated to make contribution hereunder that
in the aggregate exceeds the total public offering price of the
Registrable Securities sold by such Holder, less the aggregate amount
of any damages that such Holder and its controlling Persons have
otherwise been required to pay pursuant to this Section 2.4. The
obligations of such Holders to contribute are several in proportion to
their respective ownership of the Registrable Securities covered by
such registration statement and not joint.
(iv)The indemnity and contribution provided herein shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any other liability that one party may
have to another.
Section 2.5 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities
included in any registration shall furnish to the Company such information
regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the
Company may request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any
registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Article II.
Section 2.6 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the
benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time
permit the sale of the Restricted Registrable Securities to the public without
registration, the Company agrees to:
6
(a) use its best efforts to facilitate the sale of the Restricted
Registrable Securities to the public without registration under the
Registrable Securities Act, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Registrable
Securities Act;
(b) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Registrable Securities Act, at
all times after the effective date of the first registration statement
filed by the Company for an offering of its Registrable Securities to the
general public;
(c) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the Registrable Securities Act and
the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting
requirements); and
(d) so long as a Holder owns any Restricted Registrable Securities to
furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the public information requirements of
said Rule 144, and the reporting requirements of the Registrable Securities
Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule
or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such
Registrable Securities without registration.
Section 2.7 Transfer of Registration Rights. The rights granted under this
Article II may be assigned or otherwise conveyed by any Holder of Registrable
Securities to any transferee, subject to compliance with all applicable
Registrable Securities laws and regulations.
Section 2.8 Certain Limitations in Connection with Future Grants of
Registration Rights.
From and after the date of this Agreement, without the prior written
consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Company
shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any
Registrable Securities of the Company providing for the granting to such holder
of registration rights that would be superior to those granted to Holders
pursuant to Section 2.1.
Section 2.9 Restrictions on Market Manipulation. In the event any shares of
Common Stock are offered or sold by any Holder in a registration, each such
Holder will:
(a) advise the Company in writing of any offer, sale or other
disposition by it of any Common Stock in any manner other than as set forth
in the registration statement or any prospectus included therein on or for
the 30-day period prior to the filing of such registration statement until
the distribution under the registration statement has been completed;
(b) not effect any stabilization activity in connection with the
Company's Common Stock;
(c) not bid or purchase, for any account in which it has a beneficial
interest, any Common Stock except as may be permitted pursuant to Rule
10b-6 under the Exchange Act (if applicable);
(d) not until it has sold all of such shares of Common Stock, attempt
to induce any Person to purchase any Common Stock except as may be
permitted pursuant to Rule 10b-6; and
7
(e) not until it has sold all such shares of Common Stock, pay any
compensation for soliciting another to purchase any Registrable Securities
of the Company, except as may be permitted pursuant to Rule 10b-6.
