"Stockholders' Counsel"), copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (it
being understood that such five-Business-Day period need not apply to successive
drafts of the same document proposed to be filed so long as such successive
drafts are supplied to such counsel in advance of the proposed filing by a
period of time that is customary and reasonable under the circumstances) and
shall use its reasonable best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so
filed with the Commission, such comments as the Stockholders whose Registrable
Shares are to be covered by such Registration Statement may reasonably propose;
(c) 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 keep such Registration Statement effective for at least a
period of 120 days or until all of such Registrable Shares have been disposed of
(if earlier) and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the offering and sale or other disposition of such Registrable
Shares;
(d) notify the Stockholders' Counsel promptly in writing (A) of any
comments by the Commission with respect to such Registration Statement or
Prospectus, or any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing
thereof or for additional information with respect thereto, (B) of the issuance
by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or
the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and (C) of the receipt by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification
of such Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purposes;
(e) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Shares
under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller
of Registrable Shares reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and
things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller of
Registrable Shares to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Shares owned by such seller; provided, however, that the Company
will not be required to qualify generally to do business, subject itself to
general taxation or consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction
where it would not otherwise be required to do so but for this Section 6(e);
- 12 -
16
(f) furnish to each seller of such Registrable Shares such number of
copies of a summary Prospectus or other Prospectus, including a preliminary
Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such
other documents as such seller of Registrable Shares may reasonably request in
order to facilitate the public offering and sale or other disposition of such
Registrable Shares;
(g) use its best efforts to cause such offering and sale of Registrable
Shares to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the
Company to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of
such Registrable Shares;
(h) notify on a timely basis each seller of such Registrable Shares at any
time when a Prospectus relating to such Registrable Shares is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in
clause Section 6(b) of the happening of any event as a result of which the
Prospectus included in such Registration 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 light of the circumstances then existing and, at the request of
such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of
a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that,
as thereafter delivered to the offerees of such shares, such Prospectus shall
not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
(i) make available for inspection by any seller of such Registrable
Shares, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by
any such seller or underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"), all pertinent
financial, business and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be reasonably
necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and
cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information
(together with the Records, the "Information") reasonably requested by any such
Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement (and any of the
Information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and
of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, shall not be disclosed by
the Inspectors unless (A) the disclosure of such Information is necessary to
avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (B)
the release of such Information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order
from a court of competent jurisdiction, (C) such Information has been made
generally available to the public, and (D) the seller of Registrable Shares
agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information is sought
in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the
Company, at the Company's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent
disclosure of the Information deemed confidential);
(j) use its best efforts to obtain from its independent certified public
accountants a "cold comfort" letter in customary form and covering such matters
of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters;
- 13 -
17
(k) use its best efforts to obtain, from its counsel, an opinion or
opinions in customary form (which shall also be addressed to the Stockholders
selling Registrable Shares in such registration);
(l) provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity
and which may be the Company) for such Registrable Shares;
(m) issue to any underwriter to which any seller of Registrable Shares may
sell shares in such offering certificates evidencing such Registrable Shares;
(n) list such Registrable Shares on any national securities exchange on
which any shares of the Common Stock are listed or, if the Common Stock is not
listed on a national securities exchange, use its best efforts to qualify such
Registrable Shares for quotation on the automated quotation system of the
NASDAQ, National Market System ("NMS"), or such other national securities
exchange as the holders of a majority of such Registrable Shares included in
such registration shall request;
(o) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as
soon as reasonably practicable but not later than eighteen (18) months after the
effective date, earnings statements which need not be audited covering a period
of twelve (12) months beginning within three (3) months after the effective date
of the Registration Statement, which earnings statements shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and
(p) use its best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the
registration of such Registrable Shares contemplated hereby.
SECTION 7. EXPENSES.
All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 6,
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees (including all
expenses incident to filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.), fees and expenses of complying with securities and blue sky laws,
printing expenses, fees and expenses of the Company's counsel and accountants
and fees and expenses of the Stockholders' Counsel shall be paid by the Company;
provided, however, that all underwriting discounts and selling commissions
applicable to the Registrable Shares and Other Shares shall not be borne by the
Company but shall be borne by the seller or sellers thereof, in proportion to
the number of Registrable Shares and Other Shares sold by such seller or
sellers.
SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) In connection with any registration of any offering and sale of
Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the seller of such Registrable Shares,
each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of such seller,
each other Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing Persons within the
meaning of the Securities
- 14 -
18
Act and each Representative of any of the foregoing Persons, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing
Persons may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, 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 an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered, any
preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, any amendment or
supplement thereto or any document incident to registration or qualification of
any offering and sale of any Registrable Shares, or arise out of or are based
upon the 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, with respect to any Prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein in
light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or any
violation by the Company of the Securities Act or state securities or blue sky
laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of
the Company in connection with such registration or qualification under such
state securities or blue sky laws, and the Company shall promptly reimburse such
seller, such underwriter, such broker, such controlling Person or such
Representatives for any legal or other expenses incurred by any of them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to
any such Person to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made in said Registration Statement, preliminary
Prospectus, amendment thereto, or any document incident to registration or
qualification of any Registrable Shares in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed
by such Person, or a Person duly acting on their behalf, specifically for use in
the preparation thereof; provided, further, however, that the foregoing
indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to
any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement in, or omission or alleged
omission made in any preliminary Prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the
final Prospectus (filed pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act), such
indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party from
whom the Person asserting any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
purchased the Registrable Shares which are the subject thereof, if a copy of
such final Prospectus had been timely made available to such indemnified person
and such final Prospectus was not delivered to such Person with or prior to the
written confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Shares to such Person.
(b) In connection with any registration of an offering and sale of
Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each
seller of Registrable Shares shall indemnify and hold harmless (in the same
manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 8(a)) the Company, each
underwriter or broker involved in such offering, each other seller of
Registrable Shares under such Registration Statement, each Person who controls
any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act and any
Representative of the foregoing Persons with respect to any untrue statement or
allegedly untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from such
Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained
therein, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incident to
registration or qualification of any such offering and sale of Registrable
Shares, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company or such underwriter
through an instrument duly executed by such seller or a Person duly acting on
its behalf specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such
Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, amendment or
supplement; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect
of such
- 15 -
19
indemnification shall be limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable
Shares, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller
from the sale of Registrable Shares effected pursuant to such registration.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section 8, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter
of the commencement of such action (provided, however, that an indemnified
party's failure to give such notice in a timely manner shall only relieve the
indemnification obligations of an indemnifying party to the extent such
indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure). In case any such action is
brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any
legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if any indemnified
party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or
equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to
or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim
or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of
the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 8, the indemnifying party shall
not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified
party and any Person controlling such indemnified party for that portion of the
fees and expenses of any one lead counsel (plus appropriate special and local
counsel) retained by the indemnified party which are reasonably related to the
matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 8.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with
respect to any loss, claim, damage or liability referred to herein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder,
shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one
hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that
the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be
limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Shares, to an amount equal to
the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable
Shares effected pursuant to such registration. 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'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraud shall be entitled
to indemnification or contribution hereunder.
- 16 -
20
(e) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and will survive the transfer of
Registrable Shares.
SECTION 9. UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT.
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5, 6 and 8, to the
extent that the Stockholders selling Registrable Shares in a proposed
registration shall enter into an underwriting or similar agreement, which
agreement contains provisions covering one or more issues addressed in such
Sections of this Agreement, the provisions contained in such Sections of this
Agreement addressing such issue or issues shall be of no force or effect with
respect to such registration, but this provision shall not apply to the Company
if the Company is not a party to the underwriting or similar agreement.
(b) If any registration pursuant to Section 2 or Section 4 is
requested to be an underwritten offering, the Company shall negotiate in good
faith to enter into a reasonable and customary underwriting agreement with the
underwriters thereof. The Company shall be entitled to receive indemnities from
lead institutions, 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 so furnished in writing by
such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration
Statement and to the extent customary given their role in such distribution.
(c) No Stockholder may participate in any registration hereunder that
is underwritten unless such Stockholder agrees to (i) sell such Stockholder's
Registrable Shares proposed to be included therein on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements acceptable to the Company in the case of an offering
of Primary Shares, or, in the case of an offering pursuant to Section 2 hereof,
the Company and the Requesting Stockholders and (ii) as expeditiously as
possible, notify the Company of the occurrence of any event concerning such
Stockholder as a result of which the Prospectus relating to such registration
contains 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,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
SECTION 10. SUSPENSION.
Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company may (not more than once with respect to each registration and not more
than once in any twelve-month period), by notice in writing to each holder of
Registrable Shares to which a Prospectus relates, require such holder to
suspend, for up to 90 days (the "Suspension Period"), the use of any Prospectus
included in a Registration Statement filed under Sections 2, 3 or 4 if a
Material Transaction exists that would require an amendment to such Registration
Statement or supplement to such Prospectus (including any such amendment or
supplement made through incorporation by reference to a report filed under
Section 13 of the Exchange Act). The period during which such Prospectus must
remain effective shall be extended by a period equal to the Suspension Period.
The Company may (but shall not be obligated to) withdraw the effectiveness of
any Registration Statement subject to this provision.
- 17 -
21
SECTION 11. INFORMATION BY HOLDER.
Each holder of Registrable Shares to be included in any registration
shall furnish to the Company and the managing underwriter such written
information regarding such holder and the distribution proposed by such holder
as the Company or the managing underwriter may reasonably request in writing and
as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.
SECTION 12. EXCHANGE ACT COMPLIANCE.
From and after the Registration Date or such earlier date as a
registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act
relating to any class of the Company's securities shall have become effective,
the Company shall comply with all of the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act (whether or not it shall be required to do so) and shall comply with all
other public information reporting requirements of the Commission which are
conditions to the availability of Rule 144 for the sale of the Common Stock. The
Company shall cooperate with each Stockholder in supplying such information as
may be necessary for such Stockholder to complete and file any information
reporting forms presently or hereafter required by the Commission as a condition
to the availability of Rule 144.
SECTION 13. NO CONFLICT OF RIGHTS.
The Company represents and warrants to the Stockholders that the
registration rights granted to the Stockholders hereby do not conflict with any
other registration rights granted by the Company. The Company shall not, after
the date hereof, grant any registration rights which conflict with or impair, or
have any priority over, the registration rights granted hereby. In any
underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall be a nationally
recognized investment banking firm selected by the Company, and, to the extent
applicable, reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Stockholders holding a
majority of Registrable Shares requested to be registered.
SECTION 14. TERMINATION.
This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when
there shall not be any Restricted Securities; provided, however, that Sections 7
and 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 15. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company and the
Stockholders and, subject to Section 16, their respective successors and
assigns.
SECTION 16. ASSIGNMENT.
Each Stockholder may assign its rights hereunder to any purchaser from
such Stockholder of Restricted Securities; provided, however, that, in the case
of an assignment by any Stockholder other than a Note Warrantholder, any such
purchaser shall purchase such Restricted Securities from such Stockholder in
accordance with the Stockholders' Agreement;
- 18 -
22
provided, further, however, that such purchaser shall, as a condition to the
effectiveness of such assignment, be required to execute a counterpart to this
Agreement agreeing to be treated as a Stockholder hereunder (of the same class
(i.e., Investor Stockholder, Trust Holder, Warrantholder or Other Holder) as the
transferor Stockholder), as applicable, whereupon such purchaser shall have the
benefits of, and shall be subject to the restrictions contained in, this
Agreement. Each transferee of a Note Warrantholder is an intended third party
beneficiary of this Agreement and shall have the benefits of this Agreement upon
such transfer, without any further action on its part.
SECTION 17. NOTICES.
All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder to any
party shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a written instrument and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in Person, by telecopy,

amended, nor may any provision applicable to the Stockholders be waived, except
pursuant to a writing signed by (a) the Company (b) the Requisite Investor
Stockholders, and (c) the Requisite Trust Holders; provided, however, that (i)
any such amendment, modification, or waiver that would adversely affect the
rights hereunder of any Stockholder, in its capacity as a Stockholder, without
similarly affecting the rights hereunder of all Stockholders of such class
(i.e., Investor Stockholders, Trust Holder, Warrantholder, Note Warrantholder or
Other Holder), in their capacities as Stockholders of such class, shall not be
effective as to such Stockholder without its prior written consent, (ii) any
such amendment, modification, or waiver that would adversely affect the rights
hereunder of the Warrantholders as a class, without similarly affecting the
rights hereunder of the other classes of Stockholders as a class, shall not be
effective as to the Warrantholders without the prior written consent of the
Requisite Warrantholders, (iii) any such amendment, modification, or waiver that

automatically amended from time to time to reflect the addition to this
Agreement of any Person identified in clause (b) of the definitions of Investor
Stockholder, Trust Holders or Warrantholders, as the case may be, and the
Company will, from time to time, distribute to the Stockholders a revised
Schedule I to reflect any such changes.
SECTION 19. SEVERABILITY.
It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of
this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the law and
public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
Accordingly, if any provision of this Agreement would be held in any
jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such
provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating
the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be
invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 20. COUNTERPARTS AND FACSIMILE EXECUTION.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and
delivered (by facsimile or otherwise) to the other party, it being understood
that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any counterpart or other
signature to this Agreement that is delivered by facsimile shall be deemed for
all purposes as constituting good and valid execution and delivery by such party
of this Agreement.
SECTION 21. GOVERNING LAW.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the domestic laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any
choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County
and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,
for the purposes of any suit, action or other
- 21 -
25
proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that service of any process,
summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party's respective
address set forth in Section 17 shall be effective service of process for any
action, suit or proceeding in the State of New York with respect to any matters
to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 23. Each of the
parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the
laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby in (a) the Supreme Court of
