The Company agrees to indemnify and hold ------------------------------ harmless the Purchaser and each other holder of Purchased Shares or Registrable Securities, as the case may be, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, a "Purchaser Indemnified Party"), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue 12 statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Purchased Shares or Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after request for payment, pay directly or reimburse each Purchaser Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not -------- ------- be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by such selling Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein. The Company also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Purchased Shares or Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 4.1. 4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling holder ---------------------------------------------------- of Purchased Shares or Registrable Securities will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Purchased Shares or Registrable Securities held by such selling holder, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other person, if any, who controls such selling holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Purchased Shares or Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling holder and stated to be specifically for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder's indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder. 13 4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any -------------------------------------- person of any notice of any expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the "Indemnified Party") shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the "Indemnifying Party") in writing of the expense, loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to -------- ------- notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in -------- ------- any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding. 4.4 Contribution. ------------ (a) If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such 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 expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or 14 the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata --- ---- allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4(a). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Purchased Shares or Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Purchased Shares or Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. 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. 5. UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION. ----------------------------- 5.1 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to -------- be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar Rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. 5.2 Restrictions on Sale by the Company and Others. The Company agrees: (i) not ---------------------------------------------- to effect any sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered in accordance with Section 2.2, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the ninety (90) days prior to, and during the one hundred twenty (120)-day period beginning on, the effective date of any Demand Registration (except as part of such Demand Registration to the extent permitted by Section 2.2(d)); and (ii) that any agreement entered into after the date hereof pursuant to which the Company issues or agrees to issue any privately placed securities shall contain a provision under which holders of such securities agree not to effect any sale or distribution of any such securities during the periods described in (i) above, in each case including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (except as part of any such registration, if permitted); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 5.2 -------- ------- shall not prevent the conversion or exchange of any securities pursuant to their terms into or for other securities and shall 15 not prevent the issuance of securities by the Company under any employee benefit, stock option or stock subscription plans. 6. MISCELLANEOUS. ------------- 6.1 Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants ------------------------- that as of the date of this Agreement no person has any right to require the Company to register any shares of the Company's capital stock for sale or to include shares of the Company's capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account or for the account of any other person. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, (i) enter into any agreement granting any demand registration right (i.e., the right to require the Company to register the sale of any shares of the Company's capital stock), or (ii) enter into any agreement granting any piggy-back registration right (i.e., the right to require the Company to register the sale of any shares of the Company's capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account or for the account of any other person) which would restrict in any way the rights granted herein or require the Purchaser to suspend sale of any Purchased Shares or any Registrable Securities in order to allow sale of securities by any other party holding registration rights. At all times when this Registration Rights Agreement is in effect, and irrespective of any Financing Transaction, the Company agrees that (i) with respect to Purchased Shares registered pursuant to a Registration Statement filed under the terms hereof, such Purchased Shares shall not be subject to any suspension, withdrawal, cut-back or other reduction in the number of shares to be sold, (unless required by the Commission), (ii) with respect to Registrable Securities requested by the Purchaser to be registered under the terms of this Agreement, such shares shall not be subject to any greater suspension, withdrawal, cut-back or other reduction in the number of shares to be sold, than as would apply to any other party whose shares are included in such registration; and (iii) with respect to any shares (whether Purchased Shares or Registrable Securities) to be registered under the terms of this Agreement, shares held by any of the Company's directors and officers shall be first subject to any applicable suspension, withdrawal, cut-back or other reduction in the number of shares to be sold prior to such suspension, withdrawal, cut-back or reduction applying to any of the Purchaser's shares. 6.2 Redemption of Purchased Shares and Registrable Shares In -------------------------------------------------------- Certain Circumstances. If the Company is unable to file a registration statement - --------------------- covering the Purchased Shares within forty five (45) days of the date of this Agreement or covering the Registrable Securities within forty five (45) days of receipt of a demand hereunder or if the Company is unable to get a registration statement covering such shares effective within one hundred five (105) days of the Date of this Agreement in the case of the Purchased Shares and within 105 days of the Demand for Registration in the case of Registrable Securities (in each case a "Timing Benchmark Failure"), the Company agrees upon the occurrence of each such Timing Benchmark Failure and each fifteenth day thereafter until (i) in the case of a Failure to File within the required time such registration statement covering the Purchased Shares or the Registrable Securities, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) in the case of a Failure to have the registration statement declared effective in the required time such shares become 16 registered pursuant to an effective registration statement, as the case may be, to redeem for cash a number of the shares covered or to be covered by such registration statement as the case may be equal to one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) divided by (i) in the case of the Purchased Shares the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or if such shares are not traded on the New York Stock Exchange such other exchange on which the Company's Common Stock is principally traded ) over the ten (10) trading days preceding the last trading day (the "Average Ten Day Trading Price")prior to the occurrence of the Timing Benchmark Failure and (ii) in the case of the Registrable Shares the per share amount at which the Convertible Note was originally converted into such Registrable Shares. In order to exercise its right hereunder the Purchaser must make demand of the Company in writing with certificates representing the shares to be redeemed with duly executed stock powers attached within thirty days of the occurrence of the Timing Benchmark Failure to which the demand relates and upon timely receipt of such written demand with certificates and powers attached the Company will make payment to the Purchaser in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two business days. If Stockholder is not permitted to redeem shares because an event of default has occurred under the Stockholder's credit agreement with its lenders then in lieu of making such redemptions the Stockholder shall issue a number of additional shares of its Common Stock to the Purchaser equal to one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) divided by the Average Ten Day Trading Price for each Timing Benchmark Failure that has occurred provided that the total shares of Common Stock so issued as a result of all such Timing Benchmark Failures shall not exceed 100,000 Shares of the Stockholder's Common Stock (the "Redemption Default Cap").In addition to the foregoing, if with regard to the Purchased Shares such shares are not registered pursuant to an effective registration statement by December 31, 2001 and with regard to the Registrable Securities, such shares are not registered pursuant to an effective registration statement by the end of seven months from the date of the initial request for registration (in each case a "Registration Default Event") then upon the occurrence of such a Registration Default Event and each fifteenth day thereafter until such shares become registered pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser ten thousand shares of its Common Stock ("Late Registration Securities") which shall be considered as additional Registrable Securities under the provisions of this Agreement provided that the total Late Registration Securities issuable hereunder shall not exceed 100,000 (the "Late Registration Cap"). The Late Registration Cap is separate and apart from the Redemption Default Cap. The Company and the Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that nothing set forth in this Section 6.2 or any other provision of this Agreement shall modify, amend, alter or otherwise change in any respect Section 10.4 of the Convertible Note 6.3 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
