-------------------
(a) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2(a), any Holder
shall have the right during the Registration Period, by written notice (the
"Demand Notice") given to the Company, to request the Company to register under
--------------
and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act all or any portion
of the Registrable Shares designated by such Holders; provided, however, that
the aggregate value (at the respective dates of such notices) of Registrable
Shares requested to be registered pursuant to any Demand Notice and pursuant to
any related Inclusion Notices received pursuant to the following sentence
shall be at least $ 100 million. Upon receipt of any such Demand Notice, the
Company shall promptly notify all other Holders of the receipt of such Demand
Notice and allow them the opportunity to include Registrable Shares held by them
in the proposed registration by submitting their own written notice to the
Company requesting inclusion of a specified number of such Holders' Registrable
Securities (the "Inclusion Notice"). In connection with any Demand Registration
----------------
in which more
4
than one Holder participates, in the event that such Demand Registration
involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters
participating in such offering advise in writing the Holders of Registrable
Shares to be included in such offering that the total number of Registrable
Shares to be included in such offering exceeds the amount that can be sold in
(or during the time of) such offering without delaying or jeopardizing the
success of such offering (including the price per share of the Registrable
Shares to be sold), then the amount of Registrable Shares to be offered for the
account of such Holders shall be reduced pro rata on the basis of the number of
Registrable Shares to be registered by each such Holder; provided if the
registration of Registrable Shares held by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is necessary in
connection with any payment of estate taxes by her estate, such registration by
the estate of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have priority over any registration of
Registrable Shares by a Class B Holder or any Holder who acquired such
securities directly or indirectly from or through a Class B Holder. The Class A
Holders as a group and the Class B Holders as a group shall each be entitled to
three Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications,
Inc. shall be entitled to six Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2;
if any such Demand Registration does not become effective or is not maintained
for a period (whether or not continuous) of at least 180 days (or such shorter
period as shall terminate when all the Registrable Shares covered by such Demand
Registration (other than any shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of the
underwriters' overallotment option) have been sold pursuant thereto), the
affected Holders will be entitled to an addition Demand Registration pursuant
hereto. It is agreed that the registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to an
Inclusion Notice shall not be deemed to be a Demand Registration. Nothing in
this Section 2(a) shall limit any rights pursuant to Section 3 hereof. Nothing
in this Agreement shall limit the rights and obligations of the parties under
the Stockholder Agreement, including pursuant to Sections 2(a) and 2(b) thereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exercise of each Demand
Registration under this Section 2(a) by the Class A Holders shall require the
approval of the Class A Holders, and their Permitted Transferees, owning a
majority of the Registrable Shares then owned by all Class A Holders and their
Permitted Transferees.
(b) The Company, within 45 days of the date on which the Company
receives a Demand Notice given by Holders in accordance with Section 2(a)
hereof, shall file with the SEC, and the Company shall thereafter use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective, a
Registration Statement on the appropriate form for the registration and sale, in
accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution, of the total
number of Registrable Shares specified by the Holders in such Demand Notice,
which may include a "shelf" registration (a "Shelf Registration") pursuant to
------------------
Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a "Demand Registration").
-------------------
(c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to be declared effective and to keep each Registration
Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2 continuously effective and usable for
the resale of the Registrable Shares covered thereby (i) in the case of a
Registration that is not a Shelf Registration, for a period of 90 days from the
date on which the SEC declares such Registration Statement effective and (ii) in
the case of a Shelf Registration, for a period of 180 days from the date on
which the SEC declares such Registration Statement effective, in either case (x)
until all the Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement (other
than any shares reserved for issuance upon
5
exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option) have been sold pursuant to
such Registration Statement, and (y) as such period may be extended pursuant to
this Section 2.
(d) The Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of any
Registration Statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by the
Company pursuant to this Section 2, or suspend the use of any effective
Registration Statement under this Section 2, for a reasonable period of time,
but not in excess of 90 days (a "Delay Period"), if the chief executive officer
------------
or chief financial officer of the Company determines that in such executive
officer's reasonable judgment and good faith the registration and distribution
of the Registrable Shares covered or to be covered by such Registration
Statement would materially interfere with any pending material financing,
acquisition or corporate reorganization or other material corporate development
involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or would require premature
disclosure thereof and promptly gives the Holders written notice of such
determination, containing a general statement of the reasons for such
postponement and an approximation of the period of the anticipated delay;
provided, however, that (i) the aggregate number of days included in all Delay
Periods during any consecutive 12 months shall not exceed the aggregate of (x)
120 days minus (y) the number of days occurring during all Hold Back Periods and
Interruption Periods during such consecutive 12 months and (ii) a period of at
least 60 days shall elapse between the termination of any Delay Period, Hold
Back Period or Interruption Period and the commencement of the immediately
succeeding Delay Period. If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a
Registration Statement, the Holders of Registrable Shares to be registered shall
have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice
from the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares that were to be
registered to the Company within 45 days after receipt of the notice of
postponement or, if earlier, the termination of such Delay Period (and, in the
event of such withdrawal, such request shall not be counted for purposes of
determining the number of requests for registration to which the Holders of
Registrable Shares are entitled pursuant to this Section 2). The time period for
which the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement shall be extended by the aggregate number of days of all Delay
Periods, all Hold Back Periods and all Interruption Periods occurring during
such Registration and such period and any extension thereof is hereinafter
referred to as the "Effectiveness Period." The Company shall not be entitled to
--------------------
initiate a Delay Period unless it shall (A) to the extent permitted by
agreements with other security holders of the Company, concurrently prohibit
sales by such other security holders under registration statements covering
securities held by such other security holders and (B) in accordance with the
Company's policies from time to time in effect, forbid purchases and sales in
the open market by senior executives of the Company.
(e) The Company shall not include any securities that are not
Registrable Shares in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section
2 without the prior written consent of (i) the Class A Holders of a majority in
number of the Registrable Shares held by Class A Holders covered by such
Registration Statement, and (ii) the Class B Holder(s) of a majority in number
of the Registrable Shares held by such Class B Holders covered by such
Registration Statement, and (iii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, Inc. Holders with
respect to Registrable Shares held by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, Inc. Holders
covered by such Registration Statement.
6
(f) Holders of a majority in number of the Registrable Shares to be
included in a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2 may, at any time
prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such
Registration, revoke such request by providing a written notice to the Company
revoking such request. The Holders of Registrable Shares who revoke such request
shall reimburse the Company for all its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the
preparation, filing and processing of the Registration Statement; provided,
however, that, if such revocation was pursuant to Section 2(d) (for a
postponement) or was based on the Company's failure to comply in any material
respect with its obligations hereunder, such reimbursement shall not be
required, and such registration shall not count against the maximum number of
Demand Registrations to which the applicable Holders are entitled under Section
2(a). In addition, if pursuant to the terms of this Section 2(f), the Holders
reimburse the Company for its out of pocket expenses incurred in the
preparation, filing and processing of any Registration Statement requested, and
subsequently revoked by such Holder(s), such registration shall not count
against the maximum number of Demand Registrations to which the applicable
Holder(s) are entitled under Section 2(a).
3. Piggyback Registration.
----------------------
(a) Right to Piggyback. If at any time during the Registration Period
------------------
the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act
with respect to a public offering of securities of the same type as the
Registrable Shares pursuant to a firm commitment underwritten offering solely
for cash for its own account (other than a registration statement (i) on Form S-
8 or any successor forms thereto, or (ii) filed solely in connection with a
dividend reinvestment plan or employee benefit plan of the Company or its
Affiliates) or for the account of any holder of securities of the same type as
the Registrable Shares (to the extent that the Company has the right to include
Registrable Shares in any registration statement to be filed by the Company on
behalf of such holder), then the Company shall give written notice of such
proposed filing to the Holders at least 15 days before the anticipated effective
date. Such notice shall offer the Holders the opportunity to register such
amount of Registrable Shares as they may request (a "Piggyback Registration").
----------------------
Subject to Section 3(b) hereof, the Company shall include in each such Piggyback
Registration all Registrable Shares with respect to which the Company has
received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 days after notice has
been given to the Holders. Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or any
portion of the Registrable Shares of such Holder from a Piggyback Registration
at any time prior to the effective date of such Piggyback Registration;
provided, however, that if such withdrawal occurs after the filing of the
Registration Statement with respect to such Piggyback Registration, the
withdrawing Holders shall reimburse the Company for the portion of the
registration expenses payable with respect to the Registrable Shares so
withdrawn.
(b) Priority on Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall permit the
-----------------------------------
Holders to include all such Registrable Shares on-the-same terms and conditions
as any similar securities, if any, of the Company included therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or the managing underwriter or
underwriters participating in such offering advise the Holders in writing that
the total amount of securities requested to be included in such Piggyback
Registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in (or during the time of)
such offering without delaying or jeopardizing the success of the offering
(including the price per
7
share of the securities to be sold), then the amount of securities to be offered
for the account of the Holders and other holders of securities who have
piggyback registration rights with respect thereto shall be reduced (to zero if
necessary) pro rata on the basis of the number of common stock equivalents
requested to be registered by each such Holder or holder participating in such
offering.
(c) Right to Abandon. Nothing in this Section 3 shall create any
----------------
liability on the part of the Company to the Holders if the Company in its sole
discretion should decide not to file a registration statement proposed to be
filed pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof or to withdraw such registration statement
subsequent to its filing and prior to the later of its effectiveness or the
release of the Registrable Shares for public offering by the managing
underwriter, in the case of an underwritten public offering, regardless of any
action whatsoever that a Holder may have taken, whether as a result of the
issuance by the Company of any notice hereunder or otherwise.
4. Holdback Agreement. If (i) the Company shall file a registration
------------------
statement with respect to the Common Stock or similar securities or securities
convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, such securities and (ii)
the Company (in the case of a nonunderwritten public offering by the Company
pursuant to such registration statement) advises the Holders in writing that a
public sale or distribution of Registrable Shares would materially adversely
affect such offering or the managing underwriter or underwriters (in the case of
an underwritten public offering by the Company pursuant to such registration
statement) advises the Company in writing (in which case the Company shall
notify the Holders) that a public sale or distribution of Registrable Shares
would have material adverse impact on such offering, then each Holder shall, to
the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, refrain from effecting any
public sale or distribution of Registrable Shares during the 10 days prior to
the effective date of such registration statement and until the earliest of (A)
the abandonment of such offering, (B) 90 days from the effective date of such
registration statement and (C) if such offering is an underwritten offering, the
termination of any "hold back" period obtained by the underwriter or
underwriters in such offering from the Company in connection therewith (each
such period, a "Hold Back Period").
----------------
5. Registration Procedures. In connection with the registration
-----------------------
obligations of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 2 and 3
hereof (and subject to Sections 2 and 3 hereof), the Company shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale
of such Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended method or methods of
disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as
possible (but subject to Sections 2 and 3 hereof):
(a) At least ten (10) business days before filing a Registration
Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the
Holders who are participating in such Registration Statement and the
underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which
documents will be subject to the review of such Holders and such underwriters
(and their respective counsel), and, in the case of a Demand Registration, the
Company will not file any Registration Statement or amendment thereto or any
prospectus
8
or any supplement thereof to which the Registering Holders or the underwriters,
if any, shall reasonably object;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement for the
sale of the Registrable Shares on any form for which the Company then qualifies
or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate in accordance with such
Holders' intended method or methods of distribution thereof, subject to Section
2(b) hereof, and, subject to the Company's right to terminate or abandon a
registration pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain
effective as provided herein;
(c) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-
effective amendments) to such Registration Statement, and such supplements to
the related Prospectus, as may be required by the rules, regulations or
instructions applicable to the Securities Act during the applicable period in
accordance with the intended methods of disposition specified by the Holders of
the Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement, make generally
available earnings statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act (provided that the Company shall be deemed to have complied with
this clause if it has complied with Rule 158 under the Securities Act), and
cause the related Prospectus as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
under the Securities Act; provided, however, that before filing a Registration
Statement or Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto (other than
reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act), the Company shall
furnish to the Holders of Registrable Shares covered by such Registration
Statement and their counsel for review and comment, copies of all documents
required to be filed;
(d) notify the Holders of any Registrable Shares covered by such
Registration Statement promptly and (if requested) confirm such notice in
writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement
or the related Prospectus or for additional information regarding such Holders,
(iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to
the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of
the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (v) of the happening of any
event that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement,
Prospectus or documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference so that they will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading:
(e) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of
any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, or the
lifting of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification
of any Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction in the United States;
9
(f) furnish to the Holder of any Registrable Shares covered by such
Registration Statement, each counsel for such Holders and each managing
underwriter, if any, without charge, one conformed copy of such Registration
Statement, as declared effective by the SEC, and of each post-effective
amendment thereto, in each case including financial statements and schedules and
all exhibits and reports incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference; and deliver, without charge, such number of copies of the preliminary
prospectus, any amended preliminary prospectus, each final Prospectus and any
post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, as such Holder may reasonably
request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Shares of such
Holder covered by such Registration Statement in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act;
(g) prior to any public offering of Registrable Shares covered by such
Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or
qualify such Registrable Shares for offer and sale under the securities or Blue
Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders of such Registrable Shares shall
reasonably request in writing; provided, however, that the Company shall in no
event be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation
or as a dealer in any jurisdiction where it is not at the time so qualified or
to execute or file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction where it has not theretofore done so or to take any action that
would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such
jurisdiction where it is not then subject;
(h) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph 5(d)(v)
above, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to such Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference and file any other required document so that,
as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares being sold
thereunder (including upon the termination of any Delay Period), such Prospectus
will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
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;
(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable
Shares covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on each securities
exchange or automated interdealer quotation system, if any, on which similar

rules and regulations of the SEC and any securities exchange or regulatory body;
(k) on or before the effective date of such Registration Statement,
provide the transfer agent of the Company for the Registrable Shares with
printed certificates for the Registrable Shares covered by such Registration
Statement which are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust
Company;
(l) if such offering is an underwritten offering, make available for
inspection by any Holder of Registrable Shares included in such Registration
Statement, any underwriter participating in any offering pursuant to such
Registration Statement, and any
10
attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Holder or underwriter
(collectively, the "Inspectors"), such financial and other records and other
information, pertinent corporate documents and properties of any of the Company
and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the "Records"), as shall be
reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence
responsibilities; provided, however, that the Records that the Company
determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the
Inspector in writing are confidential shall not be disclosed to any Inspector
unless such Inspector signs a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, which agreement shall permit the disclosure of such Records in
such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus if either (i) the
disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or
omission in such Registration Statement or (ii) the release of such Records is
ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided however, that (A) any decision regarding the disclosure
of information pursuant to subclause (i) shall be made only after consultation
with counsel for the applicable Inspectors and the Company and (B) with respect
to any release of Records pursuant to subclause (ii), each Holder of Registrable
Shares agrees that it shall, promptly after learning that disclosure of such
Records is sought in a court having jurisdiction, give notice to the Company so
that the Company, at the Company's expense, may undertake appropriate action to
prevent disclosure of such Records; and
(m) if such offering is an underwritten offering, enter into such
agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as
is customary in underwritten offerings) and take all such other appropriate and
reasonable actions requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Shares being sold in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested
by the managing underwriters) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition
of such Registrable Shares, and in such connection, (i) use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates
thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters and counsel to the Holders
of the Registrable Shares being sold), addressed to each selling Holder of
Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement and each of the
underwriters as to the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in
underwritten offerings and such other matters may be reasonably requested by
such counsel and underwriters, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof from the independent certified
public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent
certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business
acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are,
or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to
each selling Holder of Registrable Shares covered by the Registration Statement
(unless such accountants shall be prohibited from so addressing such letters by
applicable standards of the accounting profession) and each of the underwriters,
such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily covered in "cold comfort" letters in connection with underwritten
offerings (iii) if requested and if an underwriting agreement is entered into,
provide indemnification provisions and procedures substantially to the effect
set forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified
pursuant to said Section. The above shall be done at each closing under such
underwriting or similar agreement, or as and to the extent required thereunder.
In addition, the Company agrees (i) not to effect any public sale or
distribution of its Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable
11
or exercisable for such securities, during the 10 days prior to the effective
date of any underwritten Demand or Piggyback Registration and until the earliest
of (A) the abandonment of such offering, or (B) the termination of any "hold
back" period reasonably requested by the underwriters (with exceptions for
issuances pursuant to outstanding options, warrants, and convertible or
exchangeable securities, pursuant to employee and dividend reinvestment plans,
and such other exceptions as are customary or agreed with the managing
underwriter).
The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Shares covered by a
Registration Statement to furnish such information regarding such Holder and
such Holder's intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares as it
may from time to time reasonably request in writing. If any such information is
not furnished within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such request,
the Company may exclude such Holder's Registrable Shares from such Registration
Statement.
Each Holder of Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement
agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 5(d)(ii), 5(d)(iii), 5(d)(iv) or 5(d)(v)
hereof, that such Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of any
Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement or the related
Prospectus until receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 5(h) hereof, or until such Holder is advised in writing
(the "Advice") by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be
------
resumed, and has received copies of any amended or supplemented Prospectus or
any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated, or deemed to be
incorporated, by reference in such Prospectus (such period during which
disposition is discontinued being an "Interruption Period") and, if requested by
-------------------
the Company, the Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the
Company) all copies then in its possession, other than permanent file copies
then in such holder's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable
Shares at the time of receipt of such request.
Each Holder of Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement
further agrees not to utilize any material other than the applicable current
preliminary prospectus or Prospectus in connection with the offering of such
Registrable Shares.
6. Registration Expenses. Whether or not any Registration Statement
---------------------
is filed or becomes effective, the Company shall pay all costs, fees and
expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this
Agreement, including (i) all registration and filing fees, including NASD filing
fees, (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with securities or Blue Sky laws,
including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection therewith,
(iii) printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for
Registrable Shares and of printing preliminary and final prospectuses if the
printing of prospectuses is requested by the Holders or the managing
underwriter, if any), (iv) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (v) fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (vi) fees and disbursements of all
independent certified public accountants of the Company (including expense of
any "cold comfort" letters required in connection with this Agreement) and all
other persons retained by the Company in connection with this Agreement and the
Registration Statement, and (vii) all other costs, fees and expenses incident to
the Company's performance or compliance
12
with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fees and expenses of any
persons retained by any Holder, including counsel for such Holders, and any
discounts, commissions or brokers' fees or fees of similar securities industry
professionals and any transfer taxes relating to the disposition of the
Registrable Shares by a Holder, will be payable by such Holder and the Company
will have no obligation to pay any such amounts.
7. Underwriting Requirements.
-------------------------
(a) Subject to Section 7(b) hereof, any Holder giving a Demand Notice
shall have the right, by written notice, to request that any Demand Registration
provide for an underwritten offering.
(b) In the case of any underwritten offering pursuant to a Demand
Registration, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares covered by the
Demand Notice to be disposed of in connection therewith shall select the
institution or institutions that shall manage or lead such offering, which
institution or institutions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. In
the case of any underwritten offering pursuant to a Piggyback Registration, the
Company shall select the institution or institutions that shall manage or lead
such offering.
8. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, without
------------------------------
limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted
by law, each Holder of Registrable Shares whose Registrable Shares are covered
by a Registration Statement or Prospectus, the officers, directors and agents
and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such Holder (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling
person, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgment, costs (including, without limitation,
costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively,
"Losses"), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged
------
untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement or
Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are based upon
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder
expressly for use therein or by any underwriter in a Demand Registration;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Holder to
the extent that any such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
any preliminary prospectus if (i) having previously been furnished by or on
behalf of the Company with copies of the Prospectus, such Holder failed to send
or deliver a copy of the Prospectus with or prior to the delivery of written
confirmation of the sale of Registrable Shares by such Holder to the person
asserting the claim from which such Losses arise and (ii) the Prospectus would
have corrected in all material respects such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or such omission or alleged omission; and provided further, however,
that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
13
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in the Prospectus,
if (x) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged
omission is corrected in all material respects in an amendment or supplement to
the Prospectus and (y) having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the
Company with copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, such Holder
thereafter fails to deliver such Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, prior
to or currently with the sale of Registrable Shares. In connection with any
Underwritten Offering, the Company will also indemnify underwriters, selling
brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals
participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person
who controls such Persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to Indemnification of
Holders of Registrable Shares, or on such other terms as are reasonable and
customary and requested by the managing underwriter.
(b) Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Shares. In connection
-----------------------------------------------
with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, such Holder
shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company
reasonably requests for use in connection with such Registration Statement or
the related Prospectus and agrees to indemnify, to the full extent permitted by
law, the Company, its directors, officers, agents or employees, each Person who
controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and
Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the directors, officers, agents or employees
of such controlling Persons, from and against all Losses arising out of or based
upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission is based upon any information so furnished in writing by or on
behalf of such Holder to the Company expressly for use in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus.
(c) If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
"Indemnified Party"), indemnified party shall give prompt notice to the party
------------------
from which such indemnity is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of any claim or
------------------
of the commencement of any proceeding with respect to indemnitee party seeks
indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the
delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the
indemnifying party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that
the indemnifying party has been prejudiced by such delay or failure. The
indemnifying party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to
an indemnified party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such
indemnified party of such claim or proceeding, to assume, at the indemnifying
party's expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding, with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that (i)
an indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party
unless: (1) the indemnifying party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the
indemnifying party fails promptly to assume the defense of such claim or
proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party; or (3) the named parties to any proceeding (including
impleaded parties) include both such indemnified
14
party and the indemnifying party, and such indemnified party shall have been
advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it
that are inconsistent with those available to the indemnifying party or that a
conflict of interest is likely to exist among such indemnified party and any
other indemnified parties (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have
the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party); and (ii) subject to clause (3) above, the indemnifying party shall not,
in connection with any one such claim or proceeding or separate but
substantially similar or related claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction,
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate
local counsel) at any time for all of the indemnified parties, or for fees and
expenses that are not reasonable. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the
indemnifying party, such indemnified party shall not be subject to any liability
for any settlement made without its consent. The indemnifying party shall not
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, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party, from all liability in respect of such
claim or litigation for which such indemnified party would be entitled to
indemnification hereunder.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section
------------
8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any Losses (other than in
accordance with its terms), then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on
the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with
the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying
party, on the one hand, and indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact, has been taken by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent any such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a
party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or other
fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or
proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the this Section 8(d).
Notwithstanding the provision of this Section 8(d), an indemnifying party that
is a Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount which is in excess of
the amount by which the total proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of
the Registrable Shares sold by such Holder (net of all underwriting discounts
and commissions) exceeds the amount of any damages that such indemnifying party
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.
15
9. Rule 144. If the Company shall have filed a registration
--------
statement pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Exchange Act or a
registration statement pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the
Company covenants that it will timely file the reports required to be filed by
it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (including but not limited to
the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in
subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the SEC under the Securities Act) and
the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or if the Company is
not required to file such reports, the Company will, upon the request of any
Holder of Registrable Shares, make publicly available other information), and
will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Shares may reasonably
request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder of
Registrable Shares to sell Registrable Shares within the exemption provided by
(i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to
time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon
the request of any Holder of Registrable Shares, the Company will deliver to
such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such
requirements.
10. Miscellaneous.
-------------
(a) Termination. This Agreement and the obligations of the Company
-----------
and the Holders hereunder (other than Section 8 hereof) shall terminate on the
first date on which no Registrable Shares remain outstanding.
(b) Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
-------
which are required or may be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and

method; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery to a domestic
address by recognized overnight delivery service (e.g., Federal Express); and

(c) Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to
--------------
Sections, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless
otherwise indicated. Headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement. Whenever the word "include", "includes" or "including" are used
in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without
limitation". This Agreement shall not be construed for or against either party
by reason of the authorship or alleged authorship of any provision hereof or by
reason of the status of the respective parties. All terms defined in this
Agreement in the singular shall have the same comparable meanings when used in
the plural and vice versa, unless otherwise specified.
(d) Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement
----------------------------------------------
constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and is not intended to confer upon any person other than
the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
(e) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
----------
interests, or obligations hereunder shall be assigned (whether by operation of
law or otherwise) by any Holder without the consent of the Company, or by the
Company without the consent of Holders of at least a majority in number of the
Registrable Shares then outstanding provided that any Holder can assign its
rights hereunder to a Permitted Transferee or Permitted Assignee of $15 million
or more in value of Common Stock without the consent of the Company. Subject to
the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and
assigns. In no event shall any transferee of Common Stock be entitled, solely as
a result of such transfer, to any of the benefits of this Agreement or to
enforce the same.
18
(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and
-------------
the rights of the parties determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware (without reference to the choice of law provisions), except with
respect to matters of law concerning the internal corporate affairs of any
corporate entity which is a party to or the subject of this Agreement, and as to
those matters the law of the jurisdiction under which the respective entity
derives its powers shall govern.
(g) Severability. Each party agrees that, should any court or other
------------
competent authority hold any provision of this Agreement or part hereof to be
null, void or unenforceable, or order any party to take any action inconsistent
herewith or not to take an action consistent herewith or required hereby, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions and
obligations contained or set forth herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby. Upon any such holding that any provision of this Agreement is
null, void or unenforceable, the parties will negotiate in good faith to modify
this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as
possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are consummated to the extent possible. Except as otherwise
contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent that a party hereto took an action
inconsistent herewith or failed to take action consistent herewith or required
hereby pursuant to an order or judgment of a court or other competent authority,
such party shall incur no liability or obligation unless such party did not in
good faith seek to resist or object to the imposition or entering of such order
or judgment.
(h) Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge that it will be
-----------------
impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties
fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that in
the event of any such failure, an aggrieved person or entity will be irreparably
damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such person or entity
shall, therefore, be entitled to injunctive relief, including specific
performance, to enforce such obligations, and if any action should be brought in
equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties
shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.
(i) Attorneys' Fees. If any party to this Agreement brings an action
---------------
to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such action, including
any appeal of such action.
(j) Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of any party hereto
-------------------
are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may
otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or
remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of
other rights or remedies.
(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
------------
counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and
shall become effective when executed and delivered by each of the parties.
19
(l) Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
----------------------
provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given,
unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a
majority in number of the Registrable Shares then outstanding, or the Holders
have obtained the written consent of the Company.
(m) Other Agreements. Without the approval of Holders owning at least
----------------
two-thirds in interest of each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Communications, Inc. Holders, the
Class A Holders, and the Class B Holders of the Registrable Shares, the Company
shall not enter into any registration rights agreement ranking pari passu or
---- -----
senior to this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amended and
Restated Registration Rights Agreement as of the date first above written.
