If the funds of the corporation legally available for redemption of Series A Preferred Stock on the Mandatory Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Mandatory Redemption Date, those funds that are legally available will be applied to the Series A Preferred Stock ratably among the holders of the shares to be redeemed based upon the aggregate Series A Redemption Price of such shares held by each such holder.

(iv) Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series C Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein designed to protect against dilution) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, provided that Additional Shares of Common Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued unless the consideration per share (determined pursuant to paragraph 5D(vii) hereof) of such Additional Shares of Common Stock would be less than the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price, as the case may be, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, or such record date, as the case may be, and provided further that in any such case in which Additional Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued: (a) no further adjustments in the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; (b) if such Options or Convertible Securities by their terms provide, with the passage of time or otherwise, for any increase in the consideration payable to the corporation, or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, then the Series.

(c) upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto), and any subsequent adjustments based thereon, shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if: (1) in the case of Convertible Securities or Options for Common Stock the only Additional Shares of Common Stock issued were the shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and the consideration received therefor was the consideration actually received by the corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration actually received by the corporation upon such exercise, or for the issue of all such Convertible Securities which were actually converted or exchanged, plus the additional consideration, if any, actually received by the corporation upon such conversion or exchange, and (2) in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options and the consideration received by the corporation for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the corporation for the issue of all such Options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the corporation (determined pursuant to paragraph 5D(vii)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised; (d) no adjustment of the conversion rate for the Series A Preferred or Series C Preferred Stock shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (1) the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price on the original adjustment date, or (2) the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price that would have resulted from any actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date; (e) in the case of any Options that expire by their terms not more than 30 days after the date of issue thereof, no adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price or the `Series C Conversion price shall be made, except as to shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock converted during such period, until the expiration or exercise of all such Options, whereupon such adjustment shall be made in the same manner provided in clause (c) above; and (f) if any such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed thereof, the adjustment previously made in the Series A Conversion Price or Series C Conversion Price that became effective on such record date shall be cancelled as of the close of business on such record date, and shall instead be made on the actual date of issuance, if any. (v) Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the corporation, at any time after the Series C Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to paragraph 5D(iv)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, such Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the price (calculated to the nearest $00001) obtained by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the Series A Conversion Price immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (ii) the consideration received (or deemed to be received hereunder) by the corporation upon such issue or sale, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (iii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately after such issue or sale, multiplied by (iv) the Series A Conversion Price immediately prior to such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than 50.0001 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 50.0001 per share' or more. Upon each adjustment of the Series A Conversion Price, the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible, at the Series A Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock was convertible pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Series A Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment. (vi) Adjustment of Series C Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the corporation, at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Series C Original Issue Date shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to paragraph 5D(iv)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series C Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, such Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price equal to the consideration per share, if any, received by the corporation for the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event the corporation, at any time after the first anniversary of the Series C Original Issue Date shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to paragraph 5D(iv)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series C Conversion Price in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then and in such event, such Series C Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the price (calculated to the nearest $0.0001) obtained by multiplying the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately prior to such issue or sale multiplied by the Series C Conversion Price immediately prior to such issue or sale plus (ii) the consideration received (or deemed to be received hereunder) by the corporation upon such issue or sale, and' the denominator of which shall be the product of (iii) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (or deemed to be outstanding hereunder) immediately after such issue or sale, multiplied by (iv) the Series C Conversion Price immediately prior to such issue or sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment of the Series C Conversion Price shall be made in an amount less than 50.0001 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 50.0001 per share or more. Upon each adjustment of the Series C Conversion Price, the Series C Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible, at the Series C Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment, into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Series C Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Stock was convertible pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Series C Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment. (vii) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this paragraph 5D, the consideration received by the corporation for the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows: (a) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall: (1) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the corporation excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest or accrued dividends after deducting all commissions and expenses paid and concessions and discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in connection with such issue; (2) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; and (3) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the corporation for consideration that covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (1) and (2) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. (b) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to paragraph 5D(iv), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing: (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) payable to the corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Option for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities; by (2) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. 5E.

Promptly after such surrender and the receipt of such written notice, the corporation will issue and deliver in accordance with the surrendering holder's instructions (i) the certificate or certificates for the Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and (ii) a certificate representing any Class B Common Stock which was represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the corporation in connection with such conversion but which was not converted. 12D. If the corporation in any manner subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of one class of either Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other class will be proportionately subdivided or combined. 12E. In the case of, and as a condition to, any capital reorganization of, or any reclassification of the capital stock of, the corporation (other than a subdivision or combination of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares (whether with or without par value) or a change in the par value of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value) or in the case of, and as condition to, the consolidation or merger of the corporation with or into another corporation (other than a merger in which the corporation is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock), each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the corporation into which such share of Class B Common Stock was convertible immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger; and, in any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this paragraph I 2E with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of Class B Common stock to the end that the provisions set forth in this paragraph 1 2E (including provisions with respect to the conversion rate) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as they reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock. 12F. Shares of Class B Common Stock which are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as provided herein shall not be reissued. 12G. The corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock or its treasury shares, solely for the purpose of issue upon the conversion of the Class B Common Stock as provided in this part 12, such number of shares of (T~ass ~ Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock (assuming that all such shares of Class B Common Stock are held by Persons entitled to convert such shares into Class A Common Stock). 12H. The issuance of certificates for Class A Common Stock upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock will be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the corporation in connection with such conversion and the related issuance of Class A Common Stock. The corporation will not close its books against the transfer of Class B Common Stock or of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock in any manner which would interfere with the timely conversion of Class B Common Stock." ARTICLE THREE Such amendment has been effected in conformity with the provisions of the Act and the amendment made by the articles of amendment was duly adopted by the shareholders of the corporation as of February 22, 1999. ARTICLE FOUR The number of shares of the Corporation outstanding was 1,708,141 shares of Class A Common Stock, 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 Series B Preferred Stock, all of which were entitled to vote on such amendment. Shareholders representing in excess of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each class of capital stock have signed a written consent to the adoption of such amendment pursuant to Article 9.10 of the Act and any written notice required by Article 9.10 of the Act has been given. ARTICLE FIVE Upon the adoption of the foregoing amendment by the shareholders of the corporation and due execution and filing of these Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas, (i) the 4,000,000 shares of the corporation's Class A Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, that are outstanding as of the effective date of such amendment, shall be automatically redesignated as, and deemed for all purposes to be, 4,000,000 shares of the corporation's Series A Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share and (ii) the 5,000,000 shares of the corporation's Series B-I of Class B Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, that are outstanding as of the effective date of such amendment, shall be automatically redesignated as, and deemed for all purposes to be, 5,000,000 shares of the corporation's Series B Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share. The foregoing amendment shall not effect any other exchange, reclassification or cancellation of issued shares of the corporation. The redesignation of all shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Series B-I of Class B Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the redesignation shall occur automatically without any further action on the part of the holder of such shares and whether or not certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the corporation. Written notice of such redesignation shall be given by the secretary of the corporation, in person or at their latest addresses reflected on the records of the corporation, together with notice of the procedures specified by law for exchange or replacement of the certificates representing the corporation's converted Class A Preferred Stock and Series B1 of Class B Preferred Stock. The foregoing amendment does not effect a change in the amount of stated capital of the corporation. Dated this day of March, 1999. ---- MONITRONICS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

If the Purchaser Director designated by a Purchaser is not able to attend a Board of Directors meeting or a meeting of a committee on which he serves, such Purchaser may designate any one Person to attend as an observer; provided, however, that Windward may designate one additional Person to attend as an observer even if the Series C Director is able to attend the meeting.

If a Purchaser has not designated a Purchaser Director or if the Purchaser Director designated by such Purchaser is unable to attend a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee on which he serves, the Company shall reimburse one representative of such Purchaser for actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors and such committees. The Company shall also reimburse one observer designated by Windward for actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors and such committees thereof, Austin Ventures shall be considered to be one Purchaser for purposes of this paragraph I E (but not for any other purpose). The Company will at all times comply with the provisions of Sections 7.01(f), (1) and (n) of the Note Agreement. 1F. Indemnification Agreements.

Provisions Relating to Restricted Stock. 2A. General Restrictions on Transfer of Capital Stock: Dividends. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, "Restricted Stock" is Common Stock (other than Shares, Underlying Common Stock or Warrant Shares) now owned or subsequently acquired by any Common Shareholder or a transferee of a Common Shareholder in a Permitted Transfer (as defined below). During the term of this Agreement, none of the shares of Restricted Stock may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (a "transfer") except in a Permitted Transfer or a transfer that complies with the provisions of this Agreement, including paragraph 2B. (b) Any attempted transfer of shares of Restricted Stock other than in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such transfer and shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to any such transfer. (c) The following transfers of Restricted Stock (each a "Permitted Transfer") may be made free of the restrictions and requirements of paragraph 2B hereof: (i) an individual holder of Restricted Stock may transfer any or all of the shares of Restricted Stock owned by him to his spouse or children, or to trusts established for the benefit of his spouse or children, provided that the transferee grants to the transferor an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest to vote all of the shares of Restricted Stock so transferred and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, paragraph 2B; (ii) a partnership, corporation or trust holding Restricted Stock may transfer any shares of Restricted Stock owned by such holder (I) to its Affiliates, (2) to its general or limited partners, shareholders or beneficiaries, or (3) to an entity owned by or organized for the benefit of the general or limited partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or beneficiaries of such holder, as applicable, and (iii) a holder of Restricted Stock may pledge any shares of Restricted Stock owned by such holder to secure the repayment of any bona fide indebtedness owing by such holder, the Company or any Subsidiary to a financial institution, provided that such holder retains the power to vote the shares of Restricted Stock so pledged until such time as the pledgee shall have realized upon the pledge and that the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, this part 2 shall be applicable to the shares of Restricted Stock so pledged. Any Person (other than the Company) who shall acquire any shares of Restricted Stock in a Permitted Transfer is referred to in this Agreement as a "Permitted Transferee." Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the restrictions and requirements of paragraph 2B shall not apply to transfers of Restricted Stock pursuant to part 3 hereof. 2B. Right of First Refusal. (a) Whenever and as often as any holder of Restricted Stock desires to sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to a bona fide written offer to purchase such shares, such holder (for purposes of this paragraph 2B, the "Selling Holder") shall give written notice (the "Notice") to each holder of Shares, Underlying Common Stock, Warrants or Warrant Shares, each Common Shareholder and each Permitted Transferee holding Restricted Stock (each, an "Offeree") to such effect, enclosing a copy of such offer and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Holder desires to sell, the name of the Person or Persons to whom the Selling Holder desires to make such sale and the consideration per share of Common Stock that has been offered in connection with such offer. Upon receipt of the Notice, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase the shares proposed to be sold for cash at the purchase price per share specified in the Notice, exercisable for 20 days after receipt of the notice. Failure of the Company to respond to such Notice within such 20-day period shall be deemed to constitute a notification to the Selling Holder of the Company's decision not to exercise the right and option to purchase such shares under this paragraph. If the Company fails to exercise its first right and option, the Selling Holder shall promptly give written notice to each of the Offerees. The Offerees, pro rata in accordance with their ownership of Shares, Underlying Common Stock, Warrants (based on the number of Warrant Shares for which they are then exercisable), Warrant Shares and shares of Common Stock, calculated on a fully diluted basis, shall have the right and option to purchase the remaining shares proposed to be sold for cash at the purchase price per share specified in the Notice, exercisable for 10 days after the notification of the expiration of the Company's 20-day option period. Failure of any Offeree to respond to such Notice within such 10-day period shall be deemed to constitute a notification to the Selling Holder of such Offeree's decision not to exercise the right and option to purchase such shares under this paragraph. If any Offeree fails to exercise its first right and option, the Selling Holder shall give written notice to each of the other Offerees who has elected to purchase its pro rata share of the shares proposed to be transferred, and each such Offeree shall have the right, exercisable for a period of five days from the date of receipt of such notice, to purchase the remaining shares, pro rata according to Shares, Underlying Common Stock, Warrants (based on the number of Warrant Shares for which it is then exercisable), Warrant Shares and shares of Common Stock held by all such electing Offerees, or in such other proportions as they may agree upon. In the event such consideration includes non-cash consideration, the dollar value of such non-cash consideration shall be its fair market value as determined by the Company and the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares, Underlying Common Stock, Warrants (based on the number of Warrant Shares for which it is then exercisable) and Warrant Shares ("Fair Market Value"). If such parties are unable to reach an agreement within 15 days after receipt of the Notice, Fair Market Value will be determined by an independent appraiser jointly selected by a majority of the Purchaser Directors and a majority of the remaining directors and the period within which an Offeree may exercise its right or option under this paragraph shall be extended until 10 days after such appraisal is completed. (b) The Company and/or the Offerees may exercise the right and option provided above by giving written notice of exercise to the Selling Holder within such 10-day period, specifying the date (not later than five days from the date of expiration of all applicable first right and options to purchase shares under this paragraph) upon which payment of the purchase price for the shares purchased pursuant to this paragraph shall be made. The Selling Holder shall deliver to the Offeree(s) at the Company's principal office, one day prior to the payment date, wire transfer instructions, and on the payment date specified in such notice, the certificate or certificates representing such shares, properly endorsed for transfer, against payment of the purchase price therefor by the Offeree(s) in immediately available funds. (c) If all the shares proposed to be transferred are not purchased by Offerees in accordance with this paragraph, the Selling Holder shall not be required to sell any of the shares proposed to be transferred to the Offerees or to the Company, and during the 90-day period commencing on the expiration of the rights and options provided for in this paragraph, may sell all (but not less than all) of such shares to the transferee named in Notice for a consideration equal to or greater than the consideration specified in the Notice, free of the restrictions contained in paragraph 2B of this Agreement (but subject to the other terms and conditions hereof). (d) For the purposes of calculating the number of shares an Offeree may acquire under this paragraph 2B, options to acquire Common Stock pursuant to the Company's 1994 Stock Plan held by an Offeree shall be deemed issued and outstanding if such Offeree is then an employee of the Company. 2C. Contractual Preemptive Rights. Notwithstanding any preemptive or similar rights that any of the parties hereto may have pursuant to any other agreement, the parties hereto agree that their respective preemptive or similar rights with respect to the issuance of Equity Securities by the Company after the date hereof shall be governed exclusively by this paragraph 2C. If prior to a Qualified Public Offering (as defined below), the Company shall issue any Equity Securities, each holder of Shares, Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares and the Hull Family Limited Partnership (the `Hull Partnership") shall be entitled to purchase, on the same terms, the same proportion of such Equity Securities to be issued necessary in order that the aggregate shares of Common Stock beneficially held by such holder constitute the same percentage of all Common Stock (assuming, in each case, the conversion, exercise or exchange of all outstanding Equity Securities, including outstanding Equity Securities held by such holder) after the issuance of such Equity Securities as before the issuance thereof; provided, however, that such preemptive right shall not apply to (a) securities issued to employees or consultants to the Company under the 1994 Stock Plan, (b) securities issued upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of Equity Securities to which the preemptive rights under this paragraph 2C were applicable, (c) securities issued in connection with an exercise of the preemptive rights granted hereunder, (d) Shares issued pursuant to the Series C Purchase Agreement, including Shares issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, (e) securities issued upon exercise of the Warrants, (f) securities issued in connection with the merger with or acquisition of another Person, (g) securities issued in connection with a public offering, or (h) shares of Class A Common Stock issued as dividends on Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation. A holder of Shares, Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares and the Hull Partnership may exercise his or its right under this paragraph 2C to purchase Equity Securities by paying the purchase price therefor at the principal office of the Company within 20 days after receipt of notice from the Company (which notice by the Company shall be given at least 20 days before the issuance of the Equity Securities) stating the amount of Equity Securities it intends to issue and the price and characteristics thereof. The holder shall pay such purchase price in cash or by check; provided, however, that if the Company is indebted to such holder, the holder shall be entitled, at the holder's sole option, to credit against the purchase price all or any portion of the Company's indebtedness to such holder which is then due (accrued and unpaid dividends on any Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be indebtedness for purposes of such credit). A holder's contractual preemptive rights hereunder shall be deemed to be exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the day of payment of the purchase price in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time such holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Equity Securities, as the case may be. As promptly as practicable (and i: any event within ten days) on or after the purchase date, the Company shall issue and deliver at its principal office a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares or amount, whichever is applicable, of Equity Securities together with cash for any fraction of a share or portion of an Equity Security at the purchase price to which the holder is entitled hereunder. For purposes of this paragraph 2C, "Qualified Public Offering" shall mean the sale of the corporation's Class A Common Stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act (other than a registration relating solely to a transaction under Rule 145 under the Securities Act (or any successor thereto) or to an employee benefit plan of the corporation), at a public offering price (prior to underwriters commissions and expenses) per share of Class A Common Stock (appropriately adjusted for subdivisions and combinations of shares of Common Stock and dividends on Class A Common Stock payable in shares of Class A Common Stock) equal to or exceeding $3.00 per share. 2D. Purchasers or Transferees of Capital Stock. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Permitted Transferee or other Person who shall acquire (either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) any shares of Restricted Stock or any other security subject to the terms of this Agreement shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as the parties hereto and, prior to registration of the transfer of any such securities on the books of the Company, any purchaser or other transferee shall execute an agreement with the parties hereto agreeing to be bound hereby. 3. Liquidity Rights~ Right of First Offer. 3A. Sale of the Company. If the Company fails (for any reason, including that the funds of the Company legally available to make such Mandatory Redemption are insufficient) to redeem any shares of Preferred Stock in a Mandatory Redemption on the Mandatory Redemption Date (such date determined without giving effect to Article IV, paragraph 3M of the Articles of Incorporation) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of any series of Preferred Stock may elect, by giving written notice to that effect to the Company within 45 days after such Mandatory Redemption Date to defer such Mandatory Redemption for 12 months and to initiate procedures for the Sale of the Company (the "Sale Notice"). For purposes hereof, a "Sale of the Company" means either (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company, (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and a liquidation of the Company immediately following such sale, or (iii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, in each case for cash or securities. If the Sale Notice is issued, all holders of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have so deferred and the following procedure shall apply. 3B. Sale Procedure. The Board of Directors shall, as promptly as practicable, engage a Qualified Investment Banker (as defined below) at the Company's expense to represent the Company and the shareholders of the Company in connection with the Sale of the Company. The Company and the Common Shareholders shall use their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Sale of the Company within 90 days after receipt of the Sale Notice or as soon as possible thereafter, but shall not be required to solicit offers for more than nine months following the date that the Qualified Investment Banker begins such solicitation. For purposes hereof, a "Qualified Investment Banker" shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the Board of Directors of the Company with a majority of the Purchaser Directors concurring. 3C. Sale Offers. At such time as the Company suspends its solicitation of offers for the Sale of the Company, it shall give each holder of Preferred Stock written notice ("Offer Notice") describing each offer (each a "Sale Offer") received by the Company, setting forth the name of the proposed purchaser, a description of the consideration to be received upon the sale, the date for closing the sale and the other material terms of the Sale Offer. The holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock may select one Sale Offer by giving written notice of such selection to the Company within 15 days following receipt of the Offer Notice. 3D. Acceptance. Notice of the Sale Offer selected by the holders of Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph 3C above shall be given by the Company to each Common Shareholder and each holder of Warrants and Warrant Shares. Within 60 days following receipt of notice of such selection, the Company, (or, if the selected Sale Offer is an offer to purchase capital stock of the Company, the Common Shareholders), must accept the selected Sale Offer. 3E. Purchase and Sale. If a Sale Offer is made, the Company or, if the Sale Offer is to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company, each Common Shareholder, shall sell the assets and business of the Company or shares of capital stock of the Company, as the case may be, on the terms set forth in the Sale Offer. 3F. Best Efforts. The Company and each Shareholder agree to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to effect a Sale of the Company pursuant to any Sale Offer accepted by the Company, including, without limitation, voting all shares of voting stock held by such Shareholder to approve a sale of assets by the Company followed by the liquidation and dissolution of the Company, or to adopt a plan of merger or consolidation by the Company included in the terms of such Sale Offer. 3G. Lapse. If all parties to this Agreement have performed their obligations under this part 3 and if the Sale of the Company is not consummated within 12 months after such Mandatory Redemption Date through no fault of the Company, the right herein granted to effect a Sale of the Company by reason of the failure of the Company to redeem shares of Preferred Stock on such Mandatory Redemption Date shall lapse. 3H. Right of First Offer. Prior to entering into any Sale of the Company in which holders of Series C Preferred Stock would receive less than the Series C Conversion Price then in effect, the Company will first give Windward written notice that the Company is contemplating a Sale of the Company and Windward will have the right to make an offer to purchase the Company in accordance with this paragraph 3H. Such right of offer to purchase shall be exercisable for a period of 30 days after Windward receives written notice from the Company of its intent to pursue a Sale of the Company. At any time during the period set forth above, Windward may deliver to the Company a written proposal for the purchase of the Company. Such proposal will disclose in reasonable detail the terms and conditions upon which Windward will agree to purchase the Company in a Sale of the Company, including the securities or assets to be acquired and the price to be paid. The Company may either accept the offer of Windward or pursue alternative Sale of the Company transactions; provided, however, that the Company may not consummate any alternative Sale of the Company unless the consideration per share to be received in such Sale of the Company is at least 110% of the consideration per share proposed by Windward. Nothing in this part 3 shall be deemed to prevent the Company from engaging in an initial public offering of its securities during the time a Sale of the Company is being sought. 4. General Provisions. 4A. Transfer Conditions. Prior to any proposed sale, assignment, transfer or pledge of any Preferred Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Common Stock (other than a transfer not involving a change in beneficial ownership), unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transfer, the holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such holder's intention to effect such transfer, sale, assignment or pledge. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transfer, sale, assignment or pledge in reasonable detail, and, if requested by the Company, shall be accompanied, at such holder's expense, by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall be, and whose legal opinion shall be, reasonably satisfactory to the Company (it being agreed that Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault, LLP, Hughes & Luce, L.L.P. and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP are satisfactory counsel), addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transfer of the Preferred Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Common Stock may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) a "no action" letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to the effect that the transfer of such securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Commission that action be taken with respect thereto, whereupon the holder of such Preferred Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Common Stock shall be entitled to transfer such Preferred Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the holder to the Company and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. Each certificate evidencing the Preferred Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Common Stock transferred as provided above shall bear, except if such transfer is made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth below, except that such certificate shall not bear such restrictive legend if in the opinion of counsel for such holder and the Company such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provision of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each holder of Preferred Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Common Stock agrees that it will not request that a transfer of the Preferred Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Common Stock be made (or that the appropriate restrictive legend described below hereof be removed from the certificate evidencing the Preferred Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Common Stock) solely in reliance on Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, if as a result of such proposed transfer the Company would be rendered subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act. 4B. Legends on Certificates. During the term of this Agreement, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock, Warrant Shares or Preferred Stock will bear a legend in substantially the following form: "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER DISPOSITION AND VOTING THEREOF ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN A SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH --, 1999 AMONG THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS AND WARRANT HOLDERS. A COPY OF THE SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT AND ALL APPLICABLE AMENDMENTS THERETO WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE COMPANY TO THE RECORD HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE WITHOUT CHARGE UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS OR REGISTERED OFFICE." The Company shall make a notation on its records and give instructions to any transfer agent of the Preferred Stock, Warrants, Warrant Shares or Common Stock in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Agreement. 4C. Termination; Amendment. (a) This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i)(A) the written agreement of the holders of at least 662/3% of the Shares then outstanding, (B) the holders of at least 662/3% of the Underlying Common Stock then outstanding and (C) the holders of at least 662/3% of the Common Stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, (ii) the acquisition by a single purchaser of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock, Shares, Warrants, Warrant Shares and the Underlying Common Stock or (iii) the closing of a Qualified Public Offering. (b) This Agreement may be amended by the written agreement of the holders of at least 662/3% of the shares of Restricted Stock, at least 662/3% of the shares of Underlying Common Stock, and, in the case of any amendment that adversely affects the rights or interests of any holder or holders of Warrants or Warrant Shares hereunder, at least 662/3 of the Common Stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and, in the case of any amendment that adversely affects the rights or interests of any holder or holders of Shares hereunder, at least 662/3 of the Shares. 4D.

(b) Reasonable expenses incurred by Director in connection with a proceeding referred to in paragraph 2A in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding and without the determination specified in Sections F or G of Article 2.02-1 of the Act, promptly upon receipt by the Company of: (i) a written affirmation by Director of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the Act; and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Director to repay the amount paid or reimbursed pursuant to this paragraph 2B if it is ultimately determined that he has not met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the Act or if it is ultimately determined that indemnification of Director against expenses incurred by him in connection with that proceeding is prohibited by Section E of Article 2.02-I of the Act. (c) This Agreement makes mandatory the indemnification permitted under Section B of Article 2.02-1 of the Act with respect to expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding described in such provision and shall be deemed to constitute authorization of indemnification in the manner required by the Act. 3. Notification and Defense of Claim. (a) Promptly after receipt by Director of notice of the commencement of any proceeding in which Director was, is or is threatened to be a named a party to or witness or other participant in such proceeding, if a claim for indemnity in connection with such proceeding is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, will promptly notify the Company of the commencement thereof. With respect to any such proceeding other than a proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Director shall have made the determination provided for in (ii) below, the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense, and the Company may assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to Director. After notice from the Company to Director of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to indemnify Director under this Agreement against expenses subsequently incurred by Director in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below. Director shall have the right to select and employ counsel in a proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be borne by Director unless (i) the employment of such counsel by Director has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Director shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Director in the conduct of the defense of such proceeding, or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, and in each case the fees and expenses of counsel shall be subject to the indemnity provided hereunder by the Company; provided, however, that in the event any other person indemnified by the Company is also named or threatened to be named defendant or respondent in a proceeding referred to in (ii) above, the fees and expenses of only one counsel employed by Director and all such other persons shall be subject to indemnity hereunder. (b) Promptly following receipt by the Company from Director of any claim for indemnity hereunder, the Company shall in good faith make or cause to be made any determination as to reasonableness of expenses and determination that indemnification is permissible as may be required pursuant to the Act and, as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 30 days after receipt by the Company of any claim for indemnity hereunder, following such determination, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Director in cash the amount of the expenses indemnified hereunder and so determined to be reasonable and permissible. Such payment shall be~ made out of the assets of the Company. 4. Miscellaneous. (a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement in order to induce Director to serve or continue to serve as a director or in a representative capacity at the request of the Company, and acknowledges that Director is relying upon this Agreement in continuing in such capacity and in serving as a director of the Company or in a representative capacity at the request of the Company hereafter, whether or not Director serves in any such capacity on the date of this Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period that Director serves as a director of the Company or in a representative capacity at the request of the Company and thereafter so long as Director shall be subject to any possible claim or pending, threatened or completed proceeding by reason of the fact that Director was a director or served in any other representative capacity. (b) In the event Director is required to bring any action to enforce his rights or to collect any amount due him under this Agreement and is successful in such action, the Company shall reimburse Director for all of Director's fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees) in bringing and pursuing such action. (c) Each of the provisions (including any provision within a single paragraph or sentence) of this Agreement is a separate and distinct agreement and independent of the others, so that if any provision hereof shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof and such remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. (d) This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws but not the law of conflicts of the State of Texas. (e) This Agreement and the terms hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and Director, and their respective successors and assigns. (f) No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by both parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. (g) The-indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Director may be entitled under any provision of the Act, the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company or of any other corporation, or any other agreement or otherwise. To the extent that a change in the Act (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be affording currently under the Company's bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of parties hereto that Director shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. (h) All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given when delivered personally or by telex, facsimile transmission, telegram or overnight delivery service, or 72 hours after having been mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, to the recipient.

The parties agree that the Prior Registration Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the parties further agree as follows: 1. Demand Registrations. (a) Requests for Registration (i) At any time and from time to time (A) after March , 2000, -- the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock (the "Underlying Common Stock") and (B) at any time and from time to time following the initial public offering of the Company's equity securities, the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock (each of the groups described in (A) and (B), a "Demand Registrant"), may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any part of their Underlying Common Stock (each, a "Demand Registration"), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any request (a "Registration Request") for a Demand Registration shall specify (i) the approximate number of shares of Underlying Common Stock requested to be registered (but not less than a majority of the total number of shares of Underlying Common Stock issued or issuable to the Demand Registrant), and (ii) the intended method of distribution of such shares that will be a firm commitment underwritten offering managed by one or more underwriters selected as provided in paragraph 1(b), below. Within ten days after the date of sending of such request, the Company will give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Underlying Common Stock and to all holders of Warrants and Warrant Shares and will (subject to clause (iii) below) include in such registration all shares of Underlying Common Stock and all Warrant Shares that holders of Underlying Common Stock, Warrants or Warrant Shares request the Company to include in such registration by written notice given to the Company within 15 days after the date of sending of the Company's notice. (ii) Subject to paragraph l(a)(i), the holders of 66-2/3% of the Underlying Common Stock will be entitled to request up to two Demand Registrations at any time and from time to time after March , 2000 and the holders of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to request up to two Demand Registrations at any time and from time to time after the initial public offering of the Company's equity securities. A Demand Registrant requesting a Demand Registration under this part 1 may, at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to such Demand Registration, revoke such request by providing written notice thereof to the Company, in which case such Demand Registration will not be deemed to have been requested for purposes of this paragraph l(a)(ii). Any Demand Registration requested by a Demand Registrant shall not be deemed to have been effected (and, therefore, not requested for purposes of this paragraph l(a)(ii)) unless it has become effective and there has not been any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or other governmental agency or court suspending such effectiveness. (iii) Subject to the provisions of the Heller Warrant, the Company will not include in any Demand Registration any securities other than Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares of the Demand Registrant without the prior written consent of the Demand Registrant, except that the Company shall include in such registration shares of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Company, for the account of other holders of Underlying Common Stock and for the account of other holders of Warrants and Warrant Shares if the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the shares of Underlying Common Stock, Warrant Shares and other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such offering can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Demand Registrant If the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of shares of Underlying Common Stock, Warrant Shares and shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration for sale by the Company, Heller, holders of Warrants and Warrant Shares and holders of Underlying Common Stock exceeds the number of shares which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Demand Registrant, the Company will include in such registration, prior to the inclusion of any other shares, (i) first, the Issued Warrant Shares (as defined in the Heller Warrant), (ii) second, the number of shares of Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares requested to be registered by the Demand Registrant, and (iii) third, the number of other shares of Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares requested to be included that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares of Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares that each such holder has requested the Company to include in such registration. For purposes of this paragraph 1(a)(iii), in any Demand Registration in which the Demand Registrant is the holders of 66-2/3% of the Underlying Common Stock, all Warrant Shares requested to. be registered in the Demand Registration shall be deemed to be requested by the Demand Registrant. (iv) In the event that in connection with an initial public offering, the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares can be included in a secondary portion of such registration, then the Company shall advise all shareholders in accordance with paragraph 1(i) above and shall include in such registration all shares of Underlying Common Stock and all Warrant Shares that holders of Underlying Common Stock, Warrants or Warrant Shares request the Company to include in such registration; provided that, if the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of shares of Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the number of shares which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company will include in such registration the number of shares that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold, subject to the terms of the Heller Warrant, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares of Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares that each such holder has requested the Company to include in such registration. (b) Selection of Underwriter. The Demand Registrant shall select the managing underwriter(s) to manage each offering effected pursuant to a Demand Registration. (c) Registration on Forms S-2, S-3. Following its initial public offering of securities under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to qualify for registration on Forms S-2 or S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After the Company has qualified for the use of Forms S-2 or S-3 or any comparable or successor form of forms, in addition to the rights contained in the paragraphs 1(a) and (b), each of (i) the holders of at least 25% of the Underlying Common Stock, (ii) the holders of at least 30% of the Common Stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and (iii) holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right at any time and from time to time to request registrations on Forms S-2 or S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect a registration under this paragraph 1(c) if the fair market value of the shares to be registered is less than $10 million; provided further, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two Registrations on Form S-2 or S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms during any twelve month period. Such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Underlying Common Stock or Warrant Shares, as applicable, proposed to be disposed of and the intended method of distribution of such shares by such holder or holders. (d) Right to Defer Registration. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration within 180 days after the effective date of a previous registration statement on Form S-I in which the holders of Underlying Common Stock participated or were given an opportunity to participate and declined to do so. The Company may postpone for up to 180 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration set forth above if (i) the Board of Directors determines, reasonably and in good faith, that such registration might have an adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company, including, without limitation, a plan or proposal to engage in any acquisition, merger, consolidation, tender offer, offering or similar transaction or (ii) any other material, nonpublic development or transaction is pending; provided, that the Company may not postpone the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement pursuant to this sentence more frequently than once during any period of 12 consecutive months. 2. Piggyback Registrations. (a) Right to Piggyback. If the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Demand Registration or registration solely in connection with an employee benefit or stock ownership plan) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company will give prompt written notice to all holders of Underlying Common Stock and to all holders of Warrants and Warrant Shares of its intention to effect such a registration (each a "Piggyback Notice"). Subject to subparagraph 2(c) below and the provisions of the Heller Warrant, the Company will include in such registration all shares of Underlying Common Stock that holders of Underlying Common Stock and all Warrant Shares that holders of Warrants and Warrant Shares request the Company to include in such registration by written notice given to the Company within 15 days after the date of sending the Piggyback Notice. (b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Underlying Common Stock and the holders of Warrant Shares will be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations. (c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the securities proposed to be sold by the Company, (ii) second, the Issued Warrant Shares (as defined in the Heller Warrant), (iii) third, the Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder and (iv) fourth, other securities requested to be included in such registration.

Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Underlying Common Stock, Warrants or Warrant Shares have requested that any Underlying Common Stock or Warrant Shares be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use its best efforts consistent with legal requirements and, in the case of an offering by the Company, prevailing market conditions, to effect the registration and the sale of such Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof and will as expeditiously as possible: (i) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the selling shareholders' counsel selected by the holders of a majority of an aggregate of the Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares covered by such registration statement in the case of a Piggyback Registration and to counsel selected by the Demand Registrant in the case of a Demand Registration copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel;

(iii) furnish to each seller of Underlying Common Stock and Warrant Shares, as applicable, such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, owned by such seller; (iv) use its best efforts to register or qualify such Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, owned by such seller, provided that Life Company will not be required (i) to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; (v) notify each seller of such Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

and (xii) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order. If any such registration or comparable statement refers to any holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company and if, in its sole and exclusive judgment, such holder is or might be deemed to be a controlling person of the Company, such holder shall have the right to require (i) the inclusion in such registration statement of language, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such holder, to the effect that the holding of such securities by such holder is not to be construed as a recommendation by such holder of the investment quality of the Company's securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such holder; provided, that with respect to this clause (ii) such holder shall furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel to such effect, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. 4.

Indemnification. (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Underlying Common Stock and each holder of Warrant Shares, and each of its respective officers, directors, employees, partners and agents and each person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the securities act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses and reasonable costs of investigation and any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) caused by (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation by the Company of any federal or state law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required or inaction by the Company in connection with any such registration, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the securities act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable. (b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will severally but not jointly indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the securities act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder expressly for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to such registration or should have been contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder; provided, that the obligation to indemnify will be individual to each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Underlying Common Stock and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, pursuant to such registration statement. (c) Notice: Defense of Claims. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld).
