COMMON STOCK ------------------- This Prospectus has been prepared for use in connection with the sale by the holders thereof (the "Selling Shareholders") of an aggregate of 442,806 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value of $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Consolidated Graphics, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Company"). The Shares may be sold from time to time by or for the account of the Selling Shareholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, including without limitation Bear, Stearns International Limited, on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, directly or through agents designated from time to time, or through dealers or underwriters to be designated or in negotiated transactions. The Shares may be sold by any one or more of the following methods: (a) a block trade (which may involve crosses) in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) exchange distributions and/or secondary distributions in accordance with the rules of such exchange; (d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; (e) through the writing of options on Shares (whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise); or (f) privately negotiated transactions. In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold thereunder rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. From time to time the Selling Stockholders may engage in short sales, short sales versus the box, puts and calls and other transactions in securities of the Company or derivatives thereof, and may sell and deliver shares in connection therewith. To the extent required by applicable law, the specific Shares to be sold and the names of the Selling Shareholders will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. See "Plan of Distribution." The Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CGX". On June 25, 1998, the last reported sale price for the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $58.00 per share. The Company will receive no portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Shares offered hereby and will bear certain of the expenses incident to their registration. See "Plan of Distribution" and "Selling Shareholders." ------------------- PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE MATTERS SET FORTH UNDER THE CAPTION "RISK FACTORS," BEGINNING ON PAGE 3. THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. ------------------- THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS IS JUNE 26, 1998. AVAILABLE INFORMATION The Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith files reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), which can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Judiciary Plaza, Room 1024, Washington, D.C. 20549 and at the regional offices of the Commission at Citicorp Center, 13th Floor, 500 West Madison Street, Suite 1400, Chicago, Illinois 60661 and at Seven World Trade Center, Suite 1300, New York, New York 10048. Copies of such material can be obtained from the Public Reference Section of the Commission at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Judiciary Plaza, Washington, D.C. 20549 at prescribed rates.

The Company has filed with the Commission a registration statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-3 under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. This Prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement and the exhibits and schedules thereto, certain parts of which are omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. For further information with respect to the Company and such Common Stock, reference is made to such Registration Statement and to the exhibits and schedules thereto.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, which has been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act (File No. 0-24068), and the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed June 24, 1998 in connection with the press release regarding the completion of the acquistion of Graphic Communications, Inc. of San Diego, California are incorporated in this Prospectus by reference and shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

NATURE OF PRINTING BUSINESS The Company competes in the general commercial and financial printing sectors, which are characterized by individual orders from customers for specific printing projects rather than long-term contracts, with continued engagement for successive jobs dependent upon the customers' satisfaction with the services provided. As such, the Company is unable to predict, for more than a few weeks in advance, the number, size and profitability of printing jobs in a given period. Consequently, the timing of projects in any quarter could have a significant impact on financial results in that quarter. Quarterly operating results may also fluctuate as a result of overall trends in the economy, acquisitions of new businesses and customer buying patterns and, accordingly, the Company's quarterly operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter. IMPLEMENTATION OF ACQUISITION STRATEGY A significant element of the Company's growth strategy is to expand by acquiring printing companies located throughout the United States. While there are numerous such companies, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and acquire suitable companies on terms acceptable to the Company, nor that it will be able to finance significant acquisitions in the future. Further, any acquisition may initially have an adverse effect upon the Company's operating results while the acquired businesses are adopting the Company's management practices. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to establish, maintain or increase profitability of an entity once it has been acquired. COMPETITION The printing industry is extremely competitive and fragmented. The Company competes with numerous large and small printing companies, some of which have greater financial resources than the Company. The Company competes on the basis of ongoing customer service, quality of finished products and price. DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL The Company believes that its continued success will depend to a significant extent upon its senior management, particularly Joe R. Davis, the Company's founder, President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of Mr. Davis or other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects. The Company's continued success also depends upon its ability to attract and retain qualified employees. The Company maintains insurance policies of $8.0 million on Mr. Davis. CONTROL Based upon the latest information available to the Company, Joe R. Davis, the Vinik Group ("Vinik") and Pilgrim Baxter & Associates ("Pilgrim") beneficially own approximately 11.0%, 9.5% and 9.1%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Stock. As a result, although Mr. Davis, Pilgrim and Vinik have not acted in concert in the past, they could, if they acted in concert, have the ability to substantially influence the election of the Company's Board of Directors and other matters requiring shareholder approval. GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The Company is subject to the environmental laws and regulations of the United States and the states in which its subsidiaries have operations concerning emissions into the air, discharges into waterways and the generation, handling and disposal of waste materials. While the Company believes it is currently in substantial compliance with 3 these laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that future changes in such laws and regulations will not have a material effect on the Company's operations. DIVIDEND POLICY The Company currently intends to retain all future earnings to finance the continuing development of its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE The Company has from time to time issued and may in the future issue a significant number of shares of Common Stock without registration in acquisition transactions or otherwise. Such shares, upon issuance, will be "restricted securities" as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or will be held by "affiliates" of the Company and consequently are subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144. Pursuant hereto or to the Company's registration statements filed with the Commission on Form S-3 on June 17, 1996, December 24, 1996 and December 23, 1997 approximately 1,800,000 shares have been registered for sale. In addition, a significant number of shares of Common Stock are issuable upon exercise of certain stock purchase options that have been or may be granted under the Company's existing incentive stock plan. The Board of Directors, without further action by the shareholders, is authorized to issue up to five million shares of the Company's Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), in one or more series and to fix and determine as to any series all the relative rights and preferences of shares in such series, including, without limitation, preferences, limitations or relative rights with respect to redemption rights, conversion rights, if any, voting rights, if any, dividend rights and preferences on liquidation. The dividend, liquidation and voting rights of any such Preferred Stock issued could be superior to the rights of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of shares of Preferred Stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal that some, or a majority, of the shareholders might believe to be in the best interests of the Company or in which shareholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of Preferred Stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the Common Stock. Future sales of significant numbers of shares of Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common Stock and also could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through subsequent offerings of securities. --------------------- 4 THE COMPANY The Company's principal executive offices are located at 5858 Westheimer, Suite 200, Houston, Texas 77057, and its telephone number is (713) 787-0977. USE OF PROCEEDS The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders. SELLING SHAREHOLDERS This Prospectus covers offers and sales from time to time by the Selling Shareholders of the Shares owned by the Selling Shareholders. Set forth below are (i) the names of the Selling Shareholders and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock held as of the date of this Prospectus by the Selling Shareholders, which number is also the number of Shares which may be offered by each Selling Shareholder pursuant to this Prospectus. Each person named below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the Shares indicated. Any or all of the Shares listed below may be offered for sale by the Selling Shareholders from time to time. NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HELD AND OFFERED PURSUANT TO THIS PROSPECTUS -------------------- John T. Bragg. Jr. 61,040 Ronald Robertson 32,370 Robin Robertson 32,370 Ralph Williams 27,122 Ken Fitzwater 12,895 National HealthCare Corp. 12,895 William B. Keathley 2,570 John Rush 1,633 Mark Cunningham 189 Berneice Benjamin 65 Mark Woodman 80,942 Bear, Stearns International Limited 113,000 Dennis Rampe 13,334 Arthur Wetzel 52,381 Because the Company does not know how many Shares may be sold by the Selling Shareholders pursuant to this Prospectus, no estimate can be given as to the number of the Shares that will be held by the Selling Shareholders upon termination of this offering. The Shares issued to John T. Bragg, Jr., Ronald Robertson, Robin Robertson, Ralph Williams, Ken Fitzwater, National HealthCare Corp., and William B. Keathley were issued in connection with the acquisition by the Company of Courier Printing Company ("CPC"). Pursuant to the acquisition, CPC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. John Rush, Mark Cunningham and Berneice Benjamin acquired their Shares in the merger of Graphic 5 Communications, Inc. and a subsidiary of the Company. Mark Woodman received the Shares offered by him pursuant to mergers of Printing, Inc., Web Graphics, Inc. and Mercury Web Printing, Inc. and subsidiaries of the Company and the Company's indirect acquisition of Gilprin, LLC and Serco Forms, LLC. Following the transactions between the Company and Mr. Woodman, Mr. Woodman transferred certain shares to Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc., who subsequently transferred such shares to Bear, Stearns International Limited. Dennis Rampe acquired his shares pursuant to an earn-out arrangement with a subsidiary of the Company. Arthur Wetzel received the Shares to be offered hereunder by him in the merger of Wetzel Bros., Inc. with a subsidiary of the Company. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Shares may be sold from time to time by or for the account of the Selling Shareholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, including without limitation Bear, Stearns International Limited. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, directly or through agents designated from time to time or through dealers or underwriters to be designated or in negotiated transactions. The shares may be sold by one or more of the following: (a) a block trade (which may involve crosses) in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; (d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; (e) through the writing of options on Shares (whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise); or (f) privately negotiated transactions. To the extent required by applicable law, the specific Shares to be sold and the names of the Selling Shareholders will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. Each Selling Shareholder may effect such transactions by selling Shares directly to other purchasers, through agents or through broker-dealers. In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus. From time to time the Selling Shareholders may engage in short sales, short sales versus the box, puts and calls and other transactions in securities of the issuer or derivatives thereof, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection therewith. In effecting sales, brokers or dealer engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers will receive commissions or discounts from Selling Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale. The Selling Shareholders and agents who execute orders on their behalf may be deemed to be underwriters as that term is defined in Section 2(11) of the Act and a portion of any proceeds of sales and discounts, commissions or other compensation may be deemed to be underwriting compensation for purposes of the Act. The Company will bear all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the offering and sale of Shares pursuant to this Prospectus, but will not be responsible for any commissions, underwriting discounts or similar amounts payable in respect of any such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, on the one hand, has agreed to indemnify certain Selling Shareholders and certain Selling Shareholders, on the other hand, have agreed to indemnify the Company from certain liabilities relating to the offering made hereby, including liabilities under the Securities Act. DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock of which 12,982,882 shares were issued and outstanding as of May 31, 1998, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, issuable in series, no shares of which were issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus. COMMON STOCK Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share in the election of directors and on all other matters on which shareholders are entitled or permitted to vote. Such holders are not entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors. Holders of Common Stock have no redemption, conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company remaining, if any, after satisfaction of the debts and liabilities of the 6 Company and the preferential rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock, if any, then outstanding. The outstanding shares of Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of funds legally available therefor only after payment of, or provision for, full dividends (on a cumulative basis, if applicable) on all outstanding shares of any series of Preferred Stock and after the Company has made provision for any sinking or purchase funds for any series of Preferred Stock. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on the Common Stock since its incorporation and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. PREFERRED STOCK The Preferred Stock is issuable by the Board of Directors in one or more series. The number of shares of each series and the rights, preferences and limitations of each series may be determined by the Board of Directors, including without limitation: the annual rate of dividends; the redemption price, if any; the terms of a sinking or purchase fund, if any; the amount payable in the event of any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company; conversion rights, if any; and voting powers, if any. All series of Preferred Stock rank equally and are identical in all respects except as may otherwise be provided in the Statement or Statements of Resolution establishing such series. The Board of Directors of the Company, without obtaining stockholder approval, may issue shares of the Preferred Stock with voting rights or conversion rights which could affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, in an attempt to prevent the acquisition of the Company. There are no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus, and the Company has no present intention to issue any shares of Preferred Stock. CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS Certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws summarized in the following paragraph may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing an acquisition proposal that a shareholder might consider favorable, including a proposal that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by shareholders. The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, all of which shares of Preferred Stock are undesignated as of the date of this Prospectus. The authorized but unissued (and in the case of Preferred Stock, undesignated) stock may be given voting rights and privileges and issued by the Board of Directors in one or more transactions. Such rights and privileges, when exercised, may make it more difficult for a shareholder or any group of shareholders to obtain control of the Company. LEGAL OPINION The validity of the issuance of the shares of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Winstead Sechrest & Minick P.C., Houston, Texas. EXPERTS The financial statements incorporated by reference in this Prospectus to the extent and for the periods indicated in their reports have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, and are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. 7 ================================================================================ NO DEALER, SALESMAN, OR OTHER PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS NOT CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH INFORMATION OR REPRESENTATIONS MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE COMPANY OR ANY SELLING SHAREHOLDER OR UNDERWRITER.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify any director or officer who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because he is or was a director or officer, provided that the director or officer (i) conducted himself in good faith, (ii) reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity, that his conduct was in the corporation's best interests, and (b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Subject to certain exceptions, a director or officer may not be indemnified if the person is found liable to the corporation or if the person is found liable on the basis that he improperly received a personal benefit. Under Texas law, reasonable expenses incurred by a director or officer may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of a final disposition of the proceeding after the corporation receives a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay to the corporation such expenses if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification by the corporation. Texas law requires a corporation to indemnify an officer or director against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding in which he is named defendant or respondent because he is or was a director or officer if he is wholly successful in defense of the proceeding. Texas law also permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a person, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under Article 2.01-1. The Company's Second Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended (the "By-Laws"), provide for the indemnification of its officers and directors, and the advancement to them of expenses in connection with proceedings and claims, to the fullest extent permitted under the Texas Business Corporation Act. Such indemnification may be made even though directors and officers would not otherwise be entitled to indemnification under other provisions of the By-Laws. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain of its officers that contractually provide for indemnification and expense advancement. Both the By-Laws and the agreements include related provisions meant to facilitate the indemnitees' receipt of such benefits. These provisions cover, among other things: (i) specification of the method of determining entitlement to indemnification and the selection of independent counsel that will in some cases make such determination, (ii) specification of certain time periods by which certain payments or determinations must be made and actions must be taken and (iii) the establishment of certain presumptions in favor of an indemnitee. The benefits of certain of these provisions are available to an indemnitee only if there has been a change in control (as defined). In addition, the Company may, in the future, purchase directors and officers liability insurance policies for its directors and officers. II-1 The above discussion of Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act and of the Company's Bylaws is not intended to be exhaustive and is respectively qualified in its entirety by such statute and the Bylaws. Reference is made to the form of the Registration Rights Agreements, filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 hereto, which contain provisions for indemnification of the Company, its directors officers, and any controlling persons by the Selling Shareholders against certain liabilities for certain information furnished by the Selling Shareholders.

*Incorporated by reference. ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraph (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a II-2 post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14ac-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information. (d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, the State of Texas, on June 26, 1998.

All of such shares (the "Shares") are being sold by selling stockholders. We have acted as counsel for CGX in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement. In so acting, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of CGX, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates, comparable documents or the representations of officers and representatives of CGX and of the selling stockholders.

The Company shall use reasonable diligence to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Holder of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration for such offering to include such securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering delivers a written opinion to the Holder that the total amount of securities which the Holder, the Company and any other Persons intend to include in such offering is sufficiently large to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering (including the price at which such securities can be sold), then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of the Holder shall be reduced to the extent necessary, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter; PROVIDED, that the reduction imposed upon Holder shall not be greater, on a fractional basis, than the reduction imposed upon other Persons whose piggyback registration rights are PARI PASSU with those granted hereby with respect to the amount of securities requested for inclusion in such registration. The Company is authorized to proceed on the basis of any notice of election received from the Holder within ten days after giving notice to the Holder of the proposed offering. If no response is received from the Holder within such ten-day period, the Company may deem that the Holder does not elect to participate in the proposed offering. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to include Registrable Securities in any registration statement if the proposed registration is (1) a registration of a stock option or other employee incentive compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan; (2) a registration of securities issued or issuable pursuant to a stockholder reinvestment plan or other similar plan; (3) a registration of securities issued in exchange for any securities or any assets of, or in connection with a merger or consolidation with, an unaffiliated company; or (4) a registration of securities pursuant to a "rights" or other similar plan designed to protect the Company's stockholders from a coercive or other attempt to take control of the Company. (a) The Company may withdraw any registration statement and abandon any proposed offering initiated by the Company without the consent of the Holder, notwithstanding -3- the request of the Holder to participate therein in accordance with this provision, if the Company determines, in good faith in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holder shall not be considered). Section 3. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY HOLDER. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, including insurance codes, the Holder of Registrable Securities that are included in a registration statement registering Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of the issue being registered (or any securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for securities of the same type as the issue being registered) during the 14 days before, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company (except as part of such registration), but only if and to the extent requested in writing (with reasonable prior notice) by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering by the Company of securities of the same type as the Registrable Securities. Section 4. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the 14 days before, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of any registration statement in which the Holder is participating (except pursuant to such registration statement). Section 5. COOPERATION BY HOLDERS. The offering of Registrable Securities by the Holder shall comply in all respects with the applicable terms, provisions, and requirements set forth in this Agreement, and the Holder shall timely provide the Company with all information and materials required to be included in a registration statement that (a) relate to the offering; (b) are in possession of the Holder; and (c) relate to the Holder, and to take all such action as may be reasonably required in order not to delay the registration and offering of the securities by the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to include in such registration statement shares of the Holder, if the Holder has failed to furnish such information which, in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, is required in order for the registration statement to be in compliance with the Securities Act. Section 6. REGISTRATION PROCEEDINGS. Whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will act as expeditiously as possible to: (a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities and use reasonable diligence to cause such registration statement to become effective; PROVIDED, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of the registration statement, the Company will furnish to the Holder and the underwriters, if any, draft copies of all such documents proposed to be filed at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto, which documents will be subject -4- to the reasonable review of the Holder and such underwriters, and the Company Will not file any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto (including such documents incorporated by reference) to which the Holder or the underwriters with respect to such Registrable Securities, if any, shall reasonably object, and will notify the Holder of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission in connection therewith and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered; (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the registration statement as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective for a period of 180 days (or such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or withdrawn, but not prior to the expiration of the 9O-day period referred to in Section 3(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable); cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to the prospectus. The Company shall not be deemed to have complied with its obligations hereunder to keep a registration statement effective during the applicable period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in the Holder being prevented from selling the Registrable Securities during that period unless such action is required under applicable law; (c) furnish to the Holder and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as the Holder or such underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities being sold by the Holder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, provided by the Company to the Holder and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto); PROVIDED, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to one counsel selected by the Holder copies of all documents proposed to be filed which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel; (d) notify the Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to -5- state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (e) use reasonable diligence to cause the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement to be listed, by the date of the first sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, on each securities exchange (including, for this purpose, NASDAQ) on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or proposed to be listed, if any; (f) make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act no later than 45 days after the end of the 12-month period beginning with the first day of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall cover such 12-month period, which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act as soon as feasible; (g) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible moment; (h) if reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters or the Holder, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters or the Holder requests to be included therein, including, without limitation, with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by the Holder to such underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and any other terms of the underwritten offering of such Registrable Securities, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; (i) as promptly as practicable after filing with the Commission of any document which is incorporated by reference into a registration statement, deliver a copy of such document to the Holder; (j) on or before the date on which the registration statement is declared effective, use reasonable diligence to register or qualify, and cooperate with the Holder, the underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their counsel, in connection with the registration or qualification of the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement for -6- offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as the Holder or such underwriter reasonably requests in writing, to use reasonable diligence to keep each such registration or qualification effective, including through new filings, or amendments or renewals, during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in all such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement; PROVIDED that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; (k) cooperate with the Holder and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Holder may request, subject to the underwriters' obligation to return any certificates representing securities not sold; (l) use reasonable diligence to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the United States as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such securities; (m) enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other reasonable actions as the Holder or the underwriters reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; (n) make available for inspection by the Inspectors the Records, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors, and employees to supply all Records reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement; PROVIDED, that with respect to any Records that are confidential, the Inspectors shall execute such confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to maintain the confidentiality of confidential Records; and (o) use reasonable diligence in connection with any underwritten offering to obtain a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the managing underwriter or underwriters may reasonably request. The Holder, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (d) of this Section 6, will forthwith discontinue disposition of the -7- Registrable Securities Until receipt by the Holder of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (d) of this Section 6 or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, the Holder will, or will request the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to, deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in the Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice, the time periods mentioned in subsection (b) of this Section 6 shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holder has received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection (d) of this Section 6 hereof or the notice that they may resume use of the prospectus. Section 7. REFERENCE TO HOLDER IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT. If such registration statement refers to the Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right to require (a) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder, to the effect that the holding by the Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation of the Holder of the investment quality of the Company's securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that the Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (b) if such reference to the 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 the Holder. Section 8. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All Registration Expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with the Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Agreement, except underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities and any out-of-pocket expenses of the Holders of Registrable Securities, will be borne by the Company. Section 9. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or investment advisor thereof against all Liabilities arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, any amendment or supplement thereto, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such indemnified Person furnished in writing to the Company by such indemnified Person expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify the underwriters thereof, 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 Holder or to such other extent as the Company and such underwriters may agree. -8- Section 10. INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDER. In connection with any registration statement in which the Holder is participating, the Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to the name and address of the Holder and the amount of Registrable Securities held by the Holder and such other information as the Company shall reasonably request for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus, and agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Liabilities resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon any information with respect to the Holder so furnished in writing by the Holder specifically for inclusion in any prospectus or registration statement. Section 11. CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such Person of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such Person may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement and, unless in the written opinion of counsel for such indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel with respect to such claim, unless in the opinion of counsel for any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. Section 12. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 9 and 10 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of Liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relative equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a -9- material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 12 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. 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.

The Company may withdraw any registration statement and abandon any proposed offering initiated by the Company without the consent of any Holder of Registrable Securities, notwithstanding the request of any such Holder to participate therein in accordance with this provision, if the Company determines, in good faith in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holders shall not be considered). Section 3. DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS. a. Subject to the conditions stated herein, at any time after the 30th day following the closing of the transaction contemplated in the Purchase Agreement (the "Closing Date"), and on or before the 300th day following the Closing Date, Holders owning a majority of the Registrable Securities acting together may make a written request to the Company for registration with the Commission of the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Following receipt of such request, the Company shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request, notify the Holders that it will file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities for sale by the Holders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT the Company may, if necessary, delay the filing of any registration statement relating to the Demand Registration for such reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90 days, as is necessary to prepare the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal period most recently ended prior to such written request. If a Holder of Registrable Securities shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, withdraw such Holder's Registrable Securities from the Demand Registration, such Holder withdrawing such Registrable Securities from such Demand Registration shall not have any further rights under this Section 3, unless no registration statement is filed pursuant to this Demand Registration right becomes effective under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to include any Earnout Stock or Related Securities issued in connection with any Earnout Stock in any Demand Registration. 4 b. All requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and will also specify the intended methods of disposition thereof. c. The Holders (as a group) of Registrable Securities shall as a group be entitled to one Demand Registration. Such Demand Registration must become effective under the Securities Act to count as having occurred with respect to such Registrable Securities. The Registration Expenses of the Demand Registration, whether or not it becomes effective, shall be paid as set forth in Section 11 below. d. If the Demand Registration is an underwritten offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such demand registration will select a managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering. Such managing underwriter or underwriters shall be acceptable to the Company, and such acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Section 4. COMPANY REGISTRATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a registration requested pursuant to Section 3 if within 30 days after receiving the notice provided by any Holder under Section 3, the Company notifies all Holders of the Registrable Securities of its intention to file a registration statement for an underwritten public offering of Common Stock at least a portion of which shares are to be issued and/or sold for the account of the Company and within 90 days after providing such notice, the Company files a registration statement for such offering. In such case, the Holders shall have all the rights provided herein as if no such demand registration had been requested, including those in Section 2, with the latest date by which a request for registration must be made with respect to any Registrable Security not included in the underwritten public offering delayed to a date 180 days after the effective date of such registration statement filed for an offering for the account of the Company that resulted in the application of this Section 4. If at any time the Company fails to pursue diligently any such registration statement or offering, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, and the Company shall be obligated to satisfy its obligations under Section 3 promptly following notice to do so from a Holder. With respect to such Company registration, the Company shall have the sole authority to select or terminate the employment of underwriters and to make all decisions in connection with the filing, effectiveness and consummation of the proposed offering, subject to the express provisions hereof. Section 5. LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF COMPANY. The obligations of the Company under Section 3 are subject to each of the following limitations, conditions and qualifications: a. The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 60 days) the filing (but not the preparation) of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto if, at the time the Company receives a request for such registration, the Company is in possession of material non-public information that would be required to be disclosed in a registration statement, but that has not been and will otherwise not be disclosed to the public, and the Company deems disclosure not to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holders shall not be considered). The Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of such a registration statement for an additional period of up to 60 days (not to exceed in any event an aggregate of 120 days or, if earlier, the date counsel to the 5 Company has determined that the Company is otherwise required by law, rule or regulations to disclose such material non-public information) if it delivers to the Holders of the Registrable Securities an opinion of counsel to the effect that there is a reasonable likelihood that the filing of a registration statement would result in the disclosure of material non-public information that would be required to be disclosed in a registration statement and would not otherwise be required to be disclosed by law, rule or regulations during the duration of such postponement, the disclosure of which at the time of delivery of such opinion appears not to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holders shall not be considered). b. The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 90 days) the distribution of preliminary or final prospectuses under any registration statement required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto, if at the time such distribution would otherwise be made, the Company is engaged in an issuer tender offer within the meaning of Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act for securities of the same class (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) as the Registrable Securities that are proposed to be registered, unless the Holders of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered can obtain a no-action letter from the staff of the Commission to the effect that the staff would not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if offers or sales were made pursuant to a prospectus under such circumstances. c. The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 90 days) the effectiveness (but not the filing or preparation) of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto if, within ten (10) Business Days after it receives a request for a registration pursuant hereto, the Company's investment banking firm determines (and the Company so notifies the Holders of the Registrable Securities) that in its judgment, such registration and offering would materially interfere with any financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company that before such request was made the Board of Directors of the Company had agreed by resolution to pursue. Section 6. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, including insurance codes, each Holder of Registrable Securities that is included in a registration statement which registers Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of the issue being registered (or any securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for securities of the same type as the issue being registered) during the 14 days before, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company (except as part of such registration), but only if and to the extent requested in writing (with reasonable prior notice) by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering by the Company of securities of the same type as the Registrable Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT the period of time for which the Company is required to keep such registration statement which includes Registrable Securities continuously effective shall be increased by a period equal to such requested holdback period. Section 7. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the 14 days before, and 6 during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of any registration statement in which the Holders of Registrable Securities are participating (except pursuant to such registration statement). Section 8. COOPERATION BY HOLDERS. The offering of Registrable Securities by any Holder shall comply in all respects with the applicable terms, provisions and requirements set forth in this Agreement, and such Holder shall timely provide the Company with all information and materials required to be included in a registration statement that (a) relate to the offering, (b) are in possession of such Holder and (c) relate to such Holder, and to take all such action as may be reasonably required in order not to delay the registration and offering of the securities by the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to include in such registration statement shares of a Holder who has failed to furnish such information which, in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, is required in order for the registration statement to be in compliance with the Securities Act. If a Holder of Registrable Securities which are the subject of the Demand Registration or an Excess Demand Registration shall fail to furnish such information and such Demand Registration or Excess Demand Registration shall not become effective under the Securities Act, such Holder shall not have a right to request inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in a future demand registration with respect to Registrable Securities. Section 9. REGISTRATION PROCEEDINGS. Whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 of this Agreement, the Company will use reasonable diligence to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable. In connection with any Piggyback Registration, Demand Registration or Excess Demand Registration, the Company will act as expeditiously as possible to: a. prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities and use reasonable diligence to cause such registration statement to become effective; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of the registration statement, the Company will furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and the underwriters, if any, draft copies of all such documents proposed to be filed at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of such Holders and underwriters, and the Company will not file any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto (including such documents incorporated by reference) to which Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement or the underwriters with respect to such Registrable Securities, if any, shall reasonably object, and will notify each Holder of the Registrable Securities of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission in connection therewith and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered;

cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to the prospectus; the Company shall not be deemed to have complied with its obligations hereunder to keep a registration statement effective during the applicable period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in selling Holders of the Registrable Securities being prevented from selling such Registrable Securities during that period unless such action is required under applicable law; c. furnish to any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as such Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, provided by the Company to each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto);

d. notify each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; e. use reasonable diligence to cause all Registrable Securities included in such registration statement to be listed, by the date of the first sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, on each securities exchange (including, for this purpose, The New York Stock 8 Exchange) on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or proposed to be listed, if any;

g. make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible moment; h. if reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters or any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters or such Holder requests to be included therein, including without limitation, with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder to such underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and any other terms of the underwritten offering of such Registrable Securities, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

l. use reasonable diligence to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the United States as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such securities; m. enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other reasonable actions as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters retained by Holders participating in an underwritten public offering, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

If the Company shall give any such notice, the time periods mentioned in subsection b of this Section 9 shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection d of this Section 9 hereof or the notice that they may resume use of the prospectus. Section 10. REFERENCE TO HOLDER IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT. If such registration statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (a) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance 10 satisfactory to such Holder, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation of 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 (b) if 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. Section 11. DEMAND AND PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All Registration Expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with the Demand Registration, Excess Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Agreement, except underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities and any out-of-pocket expenses of the Holders of the Registrable Securities, will be borne by the Company. Section 12. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and any Agent (as hereinafter defined), or investment advisor thereof against all Liabilities arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, any amendment or supplement thereto, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such indemnified Person furnished in writing to the Company by such indemnified Person expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify the underwriters thereof, 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 Registrable Securities or to such other extent as the Company and such underwriters may agree. Section 13. INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to the name and address of such Holder and the amount of Registrable Securities held by such Holder and such other information as the Company shall reasonably request for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus, and agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, damages and expenses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon any information with respect to such Holder so furnished in writing by such Holder specifically for inclusion in any prospectus or registration statement. 11 Section 14. CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such Person of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such Person may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement and, unless in the written opinion of counsel for such indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel with respect to such claim, unless in the opinion of counsel for any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. Section 15. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 12 and 13 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relative equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 14, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 15 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 paragraph. 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. The obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections 12, 13, 14 and 15 shall be further subject to such additional express agreements of the Company as may be required to facilitate an underwritten offering, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT no such agreement shall in any way limit the rights of the Holders of Registrable Securities under this Agreement, or create additional obligations of such Holders not set forth herein, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by any such Holders. 12 Section 16. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's securities on the terms of and on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (which shall be the Company in the case of an offering of securities by the Company), and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Section 17. RULE 144. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other nonconfidential information so long as necessary to permit sales under Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will take such other action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Section 18. RECAPITALIZATIONS, EXCHANGES, ETC. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein, with respect to the Registrable Securities, to any and all shares of equity capital of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Registrable Securities, in each case as the amounts of such securities outstanding are appropriately adjusted for any equity dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations, and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement. Section 19. OPINIONS. When any legal opinion is required to be delivered hereunder, such opinion may contain such qualifications as may be customary or otherwise appropriate for legal opinions in similar circumstances.

If at any time within one year of the date hereof the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any other Person of any class of equity security, including any security convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security, then the Company shall in each case give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders of Registrable Securities at least 20 days before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer the Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request. The Company shall use reasonable diligence to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Holders of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration for such offering to include such securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering delivers a written opinion to the Holders of Registrable Securities that the total amount of securities which they or the Company and any other Persons intend to include in such offering is sufficiently large to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of the Holders of Registrable Securities shall be reduced to the extent necessary, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, to reduce the total amount of securities to - 3 - be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that if the managing underwriter determines that it is necessary to reduce the number of securities to be registered on behalf of the Holders of Registrable Securities and any other Persons, such reduction will not take place pro rata, but instead will be done with a preference being given to those other Persons who are holders of securities of the Company which were issued prior to the execution of this Agreement or which are issuable pursuant to contracts entered into prior to the execution of this Agreement. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of a Requisite Group, enter into any agreement with any Person who becomes a holder of securities pursuant to contracts entered into subsequent to the execution of this Agreement which would grant to such Person any piggyback registration rights having a preference or priority over the piggyback registration rights granted to the Holders pursuant to this Section 2. b. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to include Registrable Securities in any registration statement if the proposed registration is (i) a registration of a stock option or other employee incentive compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, (ii) a registration of securities issued or issuable pursuant to a stockholder reinvestment plan or other similar plan, (iii) a registration of securities issued in exchange for any securities or any assets of, or in connection with a merger or consolidation with, an unaffiliated company, or (iv) a registration of securities pursuant to a "rights" or other similar plan designed to protect the Company's stockholders from a coercive or other attempt to take control of the Company. c. The Company may withdraw any registration statement to which this Section 2 relates and abandon any proposed offering initiated by the Company without the consent of the Holder of Registrable Securities, notwithstanding the request of the Holder to participate therein in accordance with this provision, if the Company determines, in good faith in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holder shall not be considered). Section 3. DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS. a. Subject to the conditions stated herein, at any time after July 9, 1998, and on or before April 5, 1999, a Requisite Group may make a written request to the Company for registration with the Commission of the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities held by the members of such Requisite Group under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Following receipt of such request, the Company shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request, notify all Holders of Registrable Securities that it will file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities for sale by certain Holders; provided, however, that the Company may, if necessary, delay the filing of any registration statement relating to the Demand Registration for such reasonable period of time as is necessary to prepare the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal period most recently ended prior to such written request, such delay not to exceed ten (10) Business Days following the applicable filing period relating to the Company's filing of such financial statements. If any Holder of Registrable Securities shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, withdraw such Holder's Registrable Securities from the Demand Registration to the effect that a Requisite Group is no longer proposing to participate - 4 - in the Demand Registration, the Holders shall not have any further rights under this Section 3, without regard to whether the Demand Registration becomes effective under the Securities Act; provided, however, that if the Holders requesting such Demand Registration pay or otherwise reimburse the Company for all Registration Expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such requested Demand Registration, the Holders shall continue to have the right to request a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of this Section 3. b. All requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and will also specify the intended methods of disposition thereof. Any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall include, but shall not be limited to, the methods of distribution described in the proposed Plan of Distribution set forth on Annex A to this Agreement. c. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled, in the aggregate, to one Demand Registration. Such Demand Registration must become effective under the Securities Act to count as having occurred with respect to such Registrable Securities. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Section 3.a above, the Registration Expenses of the Demand Registration, whether or not it becomes effective, shall be paid as set forth in Section 11 below. d. If the Demand Registration is an underwritten offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such demand registration will select a managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering. Such managing underwriter or underwriters shall be acceptable to the Company, and such acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering delivers a written opinion to the Holders of Registrable Securities that the total amount of securities which such Holders and, if applicable, the Company and other Persons intend to include in such offering is sufficiently large to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the Holders of Registrable Securities exercising their right to request a Demand Registration pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) second, any other securities requested to be included in such registration by the Company or such other Person in such amount which in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, such additional securities to be included by the Company and such other Persons as they may mutually agree. If the number of Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to a Demand Registration under this Section 3 is reduced pursuant to this subsection d., the Holders of the Excess Requested Shares shall be treated as if there had been no Demand Registration and shall be entitled to the benefit of Section 3 with respect to the Excess Requested Shares as if the Demand Registration had not been requested; provided, however, that (i) if any such Holder shall have been the managing underwriter of such offering, such Holder shall not be entitled to request an Excess Demand Registration with respect to any Excess Requested Shares held by such Holder, and (ii) the Company shall not be required to file such Excess Demand Registration within 180 days of the effective date of the Demand Registration or any Piggyback Registration hereunder. With respect to such an Excess Demand Registration relating to the Excess Requested Shares, only Excess Requested Shares shall be deemed Registrable Securities with respect thereto, and no Holder shall have any independent demand registration rights with respect to shares - 5 - for which such Holder failed to request inclusion pursuant to Section 3 in the Demand Registration that became effective. e. Subject to the conditions herein, the Company covenants and agrees that within 30 days of the date hereof, the Company shall, at the Company's option, either (i) provide the Holders of the Registrable Securities notice of a proposed filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act, such filing to occur within 30 days of the date hereof, with respect to which such Holders may exercise their rights to a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 2, or (ii) file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities for sale by the Holders in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 3 and such registration shall, for purposes of this Agreement, constitute a Demand Registration. If within 30 days of the date hereof the Company provides to the Holders an opportunity to participate in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to which the Holders of the Registrable Securities may register any such number of Registrable Securities as they may request, the Company shall have fulfilled its obligations under this Section 3.e. and the Holders shall have no further rights under this Section 3 to request a Demand Registration unless the Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering and the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of the Holders of the Registrable Securities shall be reduced pursuant to Section 2, in which event the Holders of the Excess Requested Shares shall be treated as if there had been no Demand Registration and shall be entitled to the benefit of Section 3 with respect to the Excess Requested Shares provided, however, that (i) if any such Holder participating in such Piggyback Registration shall have been the managing underwriter of such offering, such Holder shall not be entitled to request an Excess Demand Registration with respect to any Excess Requested Shares held by such Holder, (ii) the Company shall not be required to file such Excess Demand Registration within 60 days of the effective date of the Piggyback Registration, and (iii) with respect to such Excess Demand Registration relating to the Excess Requested Shares, only Excess Requested Shares shall be deemed Registrable Securities with respect thereto and no holder shall have any independent demand registration rights with respect to shares for which such Holder failed to request inclusion in such Piggyback Registration. If the Company does not provide an opportunity to participate in a Piggyback Registration filed within 30 days of the date hereof pursuant to this Section 3.e. but the Company files a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities pursuant to clause (ii) of the first grammatical sentence of this Section 3.e., such registration shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, constitute a Demand Registration under this Section 3 and no holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request any additional Demand Registration except as otherwise provided in Section 3.d. with respect to Excess Requested Shares. Section 4. COMPANY REGISTRATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a registration requested pursuant to Section 3 if within 15 days after receiving the notice provided by any Holder under Section 3, the Company notifies all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to file a registration statement for an underwritten public offering of Common Stock for the sole account of the Company and within 60 days after providing such notice, the Company files a registration statement for such offering. In such case, the Holders shall have all the rights provided herein as if no such demand registration had been requested, with the latest date by which a request for registration must be made delayed to a date 90 days after the effective date of such registration statement filed for an offering for the account of the - 6 - Company that resulted in the application of this Section 4. If at any time the Company fails to pursue diligently any such registration statement or offering, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, and the Company shall be obligated to satisfy its obligations under Section 3 promptly following notice to do so from a Requisite Group. With respect to such Company registration, the Company shall have the sole authority to select or terminate the employment of underwriters and to make all decisions in connection with the filing, effectiveness and consummation of the proposed offering, subject to the express provisions hereof. The Company currently has no intention to file a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or their successor forms)) relating to a public offering of Common Stock for the sole account of the Company. Section 5. LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF COMPANY. The obligations of the Company under Section 3 are subject to each of the following limitations, conditions and qualifications: a. The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 60 days) the filing (but not the preparation) of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto if, at the time the Company receives a request for such registration, the Company is in possession of material non-public information that would be required to be disclosed in a registration statement, but that has not been and will otherwise not be disclosed to the public, and the Company deems disclosure not to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holders shall not be considered). The Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of such a registration statement for additional 60-day periods (not to exceed in any event an aggregate of 120 days) if it delivers to the Holders of the Registrable Securities an opinion of counsel to the effect that there is a reasonable likelihood that the filing of a registration statement would result in the disclosure of material non-public information that would be required to be disclosed in a registration statement, the disclosure of which at such time appears not to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holders shall not be considered). b. The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 90 days) the distribution of preliminary or final prospectuses under any registration statement required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto, if at the time such distribution would otherwise be made, the Company is engaged in an issuer tender offer within the meaning of Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act for securities of the same class (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) as the Registrable Securities that are proposed to be registered, unless the Holders of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered can obtain a no-action letter from the staff of the Commission to the effect that the staff would not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if offers or sales were made pursuant to a prospectus under such circumstances. Except as otherwise provided below, if as a result of the Company's postponement of the distribution of the preliminary or final prospectus the Holders of the Registrable Securities requesting such registration are unable to continue with the requested underwritten offering, such Holders shall be treated as if there had been no Demand Registration and shall be entitled to make a subsequent request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors of the Company had authorized, by resolution, any such tender offer before the Company's - 7 - receipt of a request for registration hereunder, and the Holders requesting such registration elect to continue with such registration, the Holders shall not be entitled to any additional Demand Registration even if any postponement of the distribution of the preliminary or final prospectus results in such Holders being unable to continue with the requested underwritten offering. c. The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 90 days) the effectiveness (but not the filing or preparation) of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto if, within ten (10) Business Days after it receives a request for a registration pursuant hereto, the Company's investment banking firm determines (and the Company so notifies the Holders of the Registrable Securities) that in its judgment, such registration and offering would materially interfere with any financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company that before such request was made the Board of Directors of the Company had agreed by resolution to pursue. Section 6. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, including insurance codes, each Holder of Registrable Securities that are included in a registration statement which registers Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of the issue being registered (or any securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for securities of the same type as the issue being registered) during the 14 days before, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company (except as part of such registration), but only if and to the extent requested in writing (with reasonable prior notice) by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering by the Company of securities of the same type as the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the period of time for which the Company is required to keep such registration statement which includes Registrable Securities continuously effective shall be increased by a period equal to such requested holdback period. Section 7. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY THE COMPANY. If the registration in which the Holders of Registrable Securities are participating is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters of such registration shall so require, the Company agrees not to effect, for the account of the Company, any public sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered in such registration, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the 14 days before, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of any registration statement in which the Holders of Registrable Securities are participating; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit or adversely affect the Company's right to (i) participate in such registration statement, (ii) undertake a registration for its own account or for the account of any other Person of any class of equity security pursuant to a Registration Statement on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or their successor forms). Section 8. COOPERATION BY HOLDERS. The offering of Registrable Securities by any Holder shall comply in all respects with the applicable terms, provisions and requirements set forth in this Agreement, and such Holders shall timely provide the Company with all information and materials required to be included in a registration statement that (i) relate to the offering, (ii) are in possession - 8 - of such Holder and (iii) relate to such Holder, and to take all such action as may be reasonably required in order not to delay the registration and offering of the securities by the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to include in such registration statement shares of a Holder who has failed to furnish such information which, in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, is required in order for the registration statement to be in compliance with the Securities Act. If a Holder of Registrable Securities which are the subject of the Demand Registration or an Excess Demand Registration shall fail to furnish such information and such Demand Registration or Excess Demand Registration shall not become effective under the Securities Act as a result of such Holder's failure to furnish such information, such Holder shall not have a right to request inclusion of the Holder's Registrable Securities in a future registration with respect to Registrable Securities. Section 9. REGISTRATION PROCEEDINGS. Whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 of this Agreement, the Company will use reasonable diligence to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable. In connection with any Piggyback Registration, Demand Registration or Excess Demand Registration, the Company will act as expeditiously as possible to: a. prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities and use reasonable diligence to cause such registration statement to become effective, notify the Holders of such Registrable Securities and any managing underwriter of such effectiveness, and to keep such registration statement effective for the period specified in Section 9.b. Before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of the registration statement, the Company will furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and the underwriters, if any, draft copies of all such documents proposed to be filed at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of the Holders and underwriters, and the Company will not file any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto (including such documents incorporated by reference) to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement or the underwriters with respect to such Registrable Securities, if any, shall reasonably object, and will notify each Holder of the Registrable Securities of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission in connection therewith and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered; b. prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the registration statement as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective for a period of 180 days if the registration is pursuant to Section 2 or for a period of one year if the registration is pursuant to Section 3 (or such later date that results by adding the number of days by which the effectiveness of the registration statement is delayed as a result of any postponement permitted under subsections a through c of Section 5) or such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or withdrawn, but not before the expiration of the 90-day period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable; cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required - 9 - prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to the prospectus; the Company shall not be deemed to have complied with its obligations hereunder to keep a registration statement effective during the applicable period if it voluntarily takes any action (except for a public offering or other transaction requiring the Company to suspend the use of the prospectus included in such registration statement as provided in subsection d. and the last paragraph of this Section 9) that would result in the selling Holders of the Registrable Securities being prevented from selling such Registrable Securities during that period unless such action is required under applicable law; c. furnish to any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (including exhibits) and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as such Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, provided by the Company to each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, however, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to counsel selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all documents proposed to be filed which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel; d. notify each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; e. use reasonable diligence to cause all Registrable Securities included in such registration statement to be listed, by the date of the first sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, on each securities exchange (including, for this purpose, NASDAQ) on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or proposed to be listed, if any; - 10 - f. make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act no later than 45 days after the end of the twelve-month period beginning with the first day of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall cover said twelve-month period, which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act; g. make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible moment; h. if reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters or any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters or such Holder requests to be included therein, including without limitation, with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder to such underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and any other terms of the underwritten offering of such Registrable Securities, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; i. as promptly as practicable after filing with the Commission of any document which is incorporated by reference into a registration statement, deliver a copy of such document to each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement; j. on or before the date on which the registration statement is declared effective, use reasonable diligence to register or qualify, and cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, the underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their counsel, in connection with the registration or qualification of the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as any such Holder or underwriter reasonably requests in writing, to use reasonable diligence to keep each such registration or qualification effective, including through new filings, or amendments or renewals, during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in all such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; k. cooperate with the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or such Holders may request, subject to the underwriters' obligation to return any certificates representing securities not sold; - 11 - l. use reasonable diligence to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the United States as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such securities; m. enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other reasonable actions as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters retained by the Holders participating in an underwritten public offering, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; n. make available for inspection by the Inspectors such Records as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors, and employees to respond to all reasonable inquiries from, and to supply all Records reasonably requested by, any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement; provided, however, that with respect to any Records that are confidential, the Inspectors shall execute such confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to maintain the confidentiality of confidential Records; and o. use reasonable diligence in connection with any underwritten offering to obtain (i) a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent public accountants, and (ii) an opinion of counsel from the Company's counsel, each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters and opinions of counsel as the managing underwriter or underwriters may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, each Holder acknowledges that there may occasionally be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus included in such registration statement until such time as an amendment to the registration statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act. Each Holder, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection d. of this Section 9, will forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities until the Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by the first sentence of this paragraph and subsection d. of this Section 9, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will, or will request the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to, deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in the Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice, the time periods mentioned in subsection b. of this Section 9 and elsewhere herein shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented - 12 - or amended prospectus contemplated by the first sentence of this paragraph and subsection d. of this Section 9 hereof, or the notice that they may resume use of the prospectus. Section 10. REFERENCE TO HOLDERS IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT. If such registration statement refers to any Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation of 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) if 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. Section 11. DEMAND AND PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All Registration Expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with the Demand Registration, Excess Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Agreement, except underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities and any out-of-pocket expenses of the Holders of the Registrable Securities, will be borne by the Company. Section 12. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Securities and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and any Agent or investment advisor thereof against all Liabilities arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, any amendment or supplement thereto, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission with respect to such indemnified Person furnished in writing to the Company by such indemnified Person expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify the underwriters thereof, 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 such Holder of Registrable Securities or to such other extent as the Company and such underwriters may agree. Section 13. INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to the name and address of such Holder and the amount of Registrable Securities held by such Holder and such other information as the Company shall reasonably request for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus, and agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, damages and expenses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements - 13 - therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon any information with respect to such Holder so furnished in writing by such Holder specifically for inclusion in any prospectus or registration statement. Section 14. CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such Person of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such Person may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement (provided the failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party so long as the failure to so notify the indemnifying party does not prejudice the indemnifying party's ability to defend any such action, suit, investigation, proceeding or claim) and, unless in the written opinion of counsel for such indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel with respect to such claim, unless in the opinion of counsel for any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. Section 15. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 12 and 13 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any Liabilities referred to therein, then the 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 Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any other relative equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 14, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 15 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 this paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) - 14 - of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections 12, 13, 14 and 15 shall be further subject to such additional express agreements of the Company as may be required to facilitate an underwritten offering, provided, however, that no such agreement shall in any way limit the rights of the Holders of Registrable Securities under this Agreement, or create additional obligations of such Holders not set forth herein, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by such Holders. Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Mark Woodman, to the extent he is an indemnifying party, shall not be required pursuant hereto to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of proceeds received by him from the sale of the Registrable Securities (after deducting any underwriting commissions, discounts and transfer taxes applicable thereto) in the offering to which the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of the indemnified parties relate exceeds the amount of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses which he may have otherwise been required to pay as indemnity or contribution hereunder by reason of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses. Section 16. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder's securities on the terms of and on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (which shall be the Company in the case of an offering of securities controlled by the Company), and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Section 17. RULE 144. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other nonconfidential information so long as necessary to permit sales under Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will take such other action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Section 18. RECAPITALIZATIONS, EXCHANGES, ETC. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein, with respect to the Registrable Securities, to any and all shares of equity capital of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Registrable Securities, in each case as the amounts of such securities outstanding are appropriately adjusted for any equity dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations, and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement. - 15 - Section 19.

If at any time within one (1) year of the date hereof the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any other Person of any class of equity security, including any security convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security (other than a registration statement on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or their successor forms) or filed in connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities solely to the Company's existing shareholders), then the Company shall in each case give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holder of Registrable Securities at least twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer the Holder the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as the Holder may request. The Company shall use reasonable diligence to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Holder of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration for such offering to include such securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering delivers a written opinion to the Holder of Registrable Securities that the total amount of securities which they or the Company and any other Persons intend to include in such offering is sufficiently large to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the account of the Holder of Registrable Securities shall be reduced to the extent necessary, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that if the managing underwriter determines that it is necessary to reduce the number of securities to be registered on behalf of the Holder of Registrable Securities and any other Persons, such reduction will not take place pro rata, but instead will be done with a preference being given to those other Persons who are holders of securities of the Company which were issued prior to the execution of this Agreement or which are issuable pursuant to contracts entered into prior to the execution of this Agreement. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holders of any securities of the 3 Company which would grant to such holder or prospective holders any piggy-back registration rights having a preference or priority over the piggy-back registration rights granted to the Holder pursuant to this Section 2; provided, however, that the foregoing covenant and agreement shall not, in any manner, alter or otherwise affect the preference or priorities previously granted to other Persons prior to the execution of this Agreement. b. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to include Registrable Securities in any registration statement if the proposed registration is (a) a registration of a stock option or other employee incentive compensation plan or of securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan, (b) a registration of securities issued or issuable pursuant to a shareholder reinvestment plan or other similar plan, (c) a registration of securities issued in exchange for any securities or any assets of, or in connection with a merger or consolidation with, an unaffiliated company, or (d) a registration of securities pursuant to a "rights" or other similar plan designed to protect the Company's shareholders from a coercive or other attempt to take control of the Company. c. The Company may withdraw any registration statement and abandon any proposed offering initiated by the Company without the consent of the Holder of Registrable Securities, notwithstanding the request of the Holder to participate therein in accordance with this provision, if the Company determines, in good faith in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holder shall not be considered). Section 3. DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS. a. Subject to the conditions stated herein, at any time after the 30th day following the closing of the transaction contemplated in the Merger Agreement (the "Closing Date"), and on or before the 300th day following the Closing Date, the Holder may make a written request to the Company for registration with the Commission of the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities held by the Holder under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Following receipt of such request, the Company shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request, notify the Holder that it will file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities for sale by the Holder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT the Company may, if necessary, delay the filing of any registration statement relating to the Demand Registration for such reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90 days, as is necessary to prepare the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal period most recently ended prior to such written request. If the Holder of Registrable Securities shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, withdraw the Holder's Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration, the Holder shall not have any further rights under this Section 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may request a Demand Registration before the date which is thirty days following the Closing Date if: (i) the Holder pays $25,000 of the costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith, and (ii) counsel for the Company does not advise the Company that a delay in the filing of such registration statement is appropriate or necessary for the Company to comply with applicable federal and state securities laws. b. All requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and will also specify the intended methods of disposition thereof. 4 c. Except as set forth in subparagraph e of Section 3 below, the Holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to one Demand Registration. Such Demand Registration must become effective under the Securities Act to count as having occurred with respect to such Registrable Securities. Except as set forth subparagraph e of Section 3 below, the Registration Expenses of the Demand Registration, whether or not it becomes effective, shall be paid as set forth in Section 11 below. d. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering, the Holder of the Registrable Securities to be included in such demand registration will select a managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering. Such managing underwriter or underwriters shall be acceptable to the Company, and such acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. e. If the Holder makes a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of subparagraph e of Section 3 prior to the 300th day following the Closing Date (the "Anniversary Date") and such registration statement with respect to such request ceases to be effective (subject to any temporary suspensions) prior to the Anniversary Date, the Holder shall have the right to make one additional written request to the Company for registration with the Commission of the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities held by the Holder under, and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, at the Company's expense, prior to the Anniversary Date. The Holder's right to request an additional registration shall expire on the Anniversary Date. Section 4. COMPANY REGISTRATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3, the Company shall not be obligated to effect a registration requested pursuant to Section 3 if within 30 days after receiving the notice provided by the Holder under Section 3, the Company notifies the Holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention to file a registration statement for an underwritten public offering of Common Stock at least a portion of which shares are to be issued and/or sold for the account of the Company and within 90 days after providing such notice, the Company files a registration statement for such offering. In such case, the Holder shall have all the rights provided herein as if no such demand registration had been requested with the latest date by which a request for registration must be made with respect to any Registrable Security not included in the underwritten public offering delayed to a date 180 days after the effective date of such registration statement filed for an offering for the account of the Company that resulted in the application of this Section 4. If at any time the Company fails to pursue diligently any such registration statement or offering, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, and the Company shall be obligated to satisfy its obligations under Section 3 promptly following notice to do so from the Holder. With respect to such Company registration, the Company shall have the sole authority to select or terminate the employment of underwriters and to make all decisions in connection with the filing, effectiveness and consummation of the proposed offering, subject to the express provisions hereof. Section 5. LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF COMPANY. The obligations of the Company under Section 3 are subject to each of the following limitations, conditions and qualifications: a. The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 60 days) the filing (but not the preparation) of any registration statement otherwise 5 required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto if, at the time the Company receives a request for such registration, the Company is in possession of material non-public information that would be required to be disclosed in a registration statement, but that has not been and will otherwise not be disclosed to the public, and the Company deems disclosure not to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holder shall not be considered). The Company shall be entitled to postpone the filing of such a registration statement for additional 60 day periods (not to exceed in any event an aggregate of 120 days) if it delivers to the Holder of the Registrable Securities an opinion of counsel to the effect that there is a reasonable likelihood that the filing of a registration statement would result in the disclosure of material non-public information that would be required to be disclosed in a registration statement, the disclosure of which at the time of delivery of such opinion appears not to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders (for this purpose, the interest of the Holder shall not be considered). b. The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 90 days) the distribution of preliminary or final prospectuses under any registration statement required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto, if at the time such distribution would otherwise be made, the Company is engaged in an issuer tender offer within the meaning of Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act for securities of the same class (within the meaning of the Exchange Act) as the Registrable Securities that are proposed to be registered, unless the Holder of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered can obtain a no-action letter from the staff of the Commission to the effect that the staff would not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if offers or sales were made pursuant to a prospectus under such circumstances. c. The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 90 days) the effectiveness (but not the filing or preparation) of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto if, within ten (10) Business Days after it receives a request for a registration pursuant hereto, the Company's investment banking firm determines (and the Company so notifies the Holder of the Registrable Securities) that in its judgment, such registration and offering would materially interfere with any financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving the Company that before such request was made the Board of Directors of the Company had agreed by resolution to pursue. Section 6. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY HOLDER OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, including insurance codes, the Holder of Registrable Securities that is included in a registration statement which registers Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of the issue being registered (or any securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for securities of the same type as the issue being registered) during the 14 days before, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company (except as part of such registration), but only if and to the extent requested in writing (with reasonable prior notice) by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering by the Company of securities of the same type as the Registrable Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT the period of time for which the Company is required to keep such registration statement which includes Registrable Securities continuously effective shall be increased by a period equal to such requested holdback period. 6 Section 7. RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC SALE BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the 14 days before, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of any registration statement in which the Holder of Registrable Securities is participating (except pursuant to such registration statement). Section 8. COOPERATION BY HOLDER. The offering of Registrable Securities by the Holder shall comply in all respects with the applicable terms, provisions and requirements set forth in this Agreement, and the Holder shall timely provide the Company with all information and materials required to be included in a registration statement that (a) relate to the offering, (b) are in possession of the Holder and (c) relate to the Holder, and to take all such action as may be reasonably required in order not to delay the registration and offering of the securities by the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to include in such registration statement shares of the Holder who has failed to furnish such information which, in the written opinion of counsel to the Company, is required in order for the registration statement to be in compliance with the Securities Act. If the Holder of Registrable Securities which are the subject of the Demand Registration or an Excess Demand Registration shall fail to furnish such information and such Demand Registration or Excess Demand Registration shall not become effective under the Securities Act, the Holder shall not have a right to request inclusion of the Holder's Registrable Securities in a future demand registration with respect to Registrable Securities. Section 9. REGISTRATION PROCEEDINGS. Whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 of this Agreement, the Company will use reasonable diligence to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as practicable. In connection with any Piggyback Registration, Demand Registration or Excess Demand Registration, the Company will act as expeditiously as possible to: a. prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement which includes the Registrable Securities and use reasonable diligence to cause such registration statement to become effective; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, including documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of the registration statement, the Company will furnish to the Holder of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and the underwriters, if any, draft copies of all such documents proposed to be filed at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of the Holder and underwriters, and the Company will not file any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto (including such documents incorporated by reference) to which Holder of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement or the underwriters with respect to such Registrable Securities, if any, shall reasonably object, and will notify the Holder of the Registrable Securities of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission in connection therewith and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered; b. prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the registration statement as may be necessary to keep the registration statement 7 effective for a period of 180 days if the registration is pursuant to Section 2 or until the first anniversary of the date hereof if the registration is pursuant to Section 3 (or such later date that results by adding the number of days by which the effectiveness of the registration statement is delayed as a result of any postponement permitted under subsections a through c of Section 5) or such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or withdrawn, but not before the expiration of the 90-day period referred to in Section 3(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder, if applicable; cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to the prospectus; the Company shall not be deemed to have complied with its obligations hereunder to keep a registration statement effective during the applicable period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in the selling Holder of the Registrable Securities being prevented from selling such Registrable Securities during that period unless such action is required under applicable law; c. furnish to the Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as the Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities being sold by the Holder (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, provided by the Company to the Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the underwriter or underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to one counsel selected by the Holder copies of all documents proposed to be filed which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel; d. notify the Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 8 e. use reasonable diligence to cause all Registrable Securities included in such registration statement to be listed, by the date of the first sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, on each securities exchange (including, for this purpose, The New York Stock Exchange) on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or proposed to be listed, if any; f. make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act no later than forty-five days after the end of the twelve-month period beginning with the first day of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall cover said twelve-month period, which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-Q, 10-K, and 8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act as soon as feasible; g. make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible moment; h. if reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters or the Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters or the Holder requests to be included therein, including without limitation, with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold by the Holder to such underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and any other terms of the underwritten offering of such Registrable Securities, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; i. as promptly as practicable after filing with the Commission of any document which is incorporated by reference into a registration statement, deliver a copy of such document to the Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement; j. on or before the date on which the registration statement is declared effective, use reasonable diligence to register or qualify, and cooperate with the Holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, the underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their counsel, in connection with the registration or qualification of the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as the Holder or underwriter reasonably requests in writing, to use reasonable diligence to keep each such registration or qualification effective, including through new filings, or amendments or renewals, during the period such registration statement is required to be kept effective and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in all such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 9 k. cooperate with the Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Holder may request, subject to the underwriters' obligation to return any certificates representing securities not sold; l. use reasonable diligence to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the United States as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such securities; m. enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all such other reasonable actions as the Holder or the underwriters retained by the Holder, reasonably requests in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; n. make available for inspection by the Inspectors such Records as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company's officers, directors, and employees to supply all Records reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT with respect to any Records that are confidential, the Inspectors shall execute such confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably request in order to maintain the confidentiality of confidential Records; and o. use reasonable diligence in connection with any underwritten offering to obtain a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the managing underwriter or underwriters may reasonably request. The Holder, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection d of this Section 9, will forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities until the Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection d of this Section 9 or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, the Holder will, or will request the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to, deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in the Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice, the time periods mentioned in subsection b of this Section 9 shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subsection d of this Section 9 hereof or the notice that they may resume use of the prospectus. 10 Section 10. REFERENCE TO HOLDER IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT. If such registration statement refers to the Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right to require (a) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder, to the effect that the holding by the Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation of the Holder of the investment quality of the Company's securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that the Holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (b) if such reference to the 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 the Holder. Section 11. DEMAND AND PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All Registration Expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with the Demand Registration, Excess Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Agreement, except underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities and any out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees) of the Holder of the Registrable Securities, will be borne by the Company. Section 12. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder of Registrable Securities, and each Person who controls the Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and any Agent (as hereinafter defined), or investment advisor thereof against all Liabilities arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, any amendment or supplement thereto, any prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon information with respect to such indemnified Person furnished in writing to the Company by such indemnified Person expressly for use therein. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify the underwriters thereof, 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 Holder of Registrable Securities or to such other extent as the Company and such underwriters may agree. Section 13. INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDER OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. In connection with any registration statement in which the Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, the Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to the name and address of the Holder and the amount of Registrable Securities held by the Holder and such other information as the Company shall reasonably request for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus, and agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, damages and expenses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the registration statement or prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is based upon any information with respect to the Holder so furnished in writing by the Holder specifically for inclusion in any prospectus or registration statement. 11 Section 14. CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such Person of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which such Person may claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement and, unless in the written opinion of counsel for such indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel with respect to such claim, unless in the opinion of counsel for any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. Section 15. CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 12 and 13 from the indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses, as well as any other relative equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 14, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 15 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 this paragraph. 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. The obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections 12, 13, 14 and 15 shall be further subject to such additional express agreements of the Company as may be required to facilitate an underwritten offering, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT no such agreement shall in any way limit the rights of the Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement, or create additional obligations of the Holder not set forth herein, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Holder. 12 Section 16. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. The Holder of Registrable Securities may not participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless the Holder (a) agrees to sell the Holder's securities on the terms of and on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (which shall be the Company in the case of an offering of securities by the Company), and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Section 17. RULE 144. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of the Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other nonconfidential information so long as necessary to permit sales under Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will take such other action as the Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of the Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Section 18. RECAPITALIZATIONS, EXCHANGES, ETC. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent set forth herein, with respect to the Registrable Securities, to any and all shares of equity capital of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of the Registrable Securities, in each case as the amounts of such securities outstanding are appropriately adjusted for any equity dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations, and the like occurring after the date of this Agreement.
