REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT dated as of June 5, 1998, among
Panavision Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and PX Holding
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("PX Holding").
WHEREAS, the Company, PX Holding and PX Merger Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, a Delaware corporation, have entered into an
Agreement of Recapitalization and Merger, dated as of December 18, 1997
(the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, the
Company will issue to the PX Holding shares of its common stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Common Stock");
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the
officers of the Company to execute and deliver this Agreement in the name
and on behalf of the Company;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as
follows:
1. Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:
"Holder" means PX Holding and any other person that owns
Registrable Securities, including their respective successors and assigns
who acquire Registrable Securities, directly or indirectly, from PX Holding
or such other person, respectively. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Company may deem and treat the registered holder of a Registrable Security
as the Holder and absolute owner thereof, and the Company shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
"Registrable Securities" means (a) any shares of Common Stock
issued in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement upon
consummation of the Merger (b) any shares of Common Stock acquired by PX
Holding the open market at a time when such party is deemed to be an
"affiliate" (as such term is defined under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act) of the Company and (c) any securities issued or issuable in respect of
the Common Stock referred to in clauses (a)and (b) above, by way of stock
dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares,
recapitalization, reclassification, merger or consolidation, and any other
securities issued pursuant to any other pro rata distribution with respect
to such Common Stock. For purposes of this Agreement, a Registrable
Security ceases to be a Registrable Security when (x) it has been
effectively registered under the Securities Act and sold or distributed to
the public in accordance with an effective registration statement covering
it (and has not been reacquired in the manner described in clause (c)
above), or (y) it is sold or distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144
(or any successor or similar provision) under the Securities Act.
"SEC" means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"Securities Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
from time to time.
2. Demand Registration. (a) If at any time any Holder shall
request the Company in writing to register under the Securities Act all or
a part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder (a "Demand
Registration"), the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be
filed and declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no
event later than the 45th day after such Holder's request is made) a
registration statement providing for the sale of all such Registrable
Securities by such Holder. The Company agrees to use its reasonable
efforts to keep any such registration statement continuously effective and
usable for resale of Registrable Securities for so long as the Holder whose
Registrable Securities are included therein shall request. The Company
shall be obligated to file registration statements pursuant to this Section
2(a) until all Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable
Securities. Each registration statement filed pursuant to this Section
2(a) is hereinafter referred to as a "Demand Registration Statement." The
Company may, if permitted by law, effect any registration pursuant to this
Section 2(a) by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3.
However, if such registration involves an underwritten public offering and
the managing underwriter(s) at any time shall notify the Company in writing
that, in the sole judgment of such managing underwriter(s), inclusion of
some or all of the information required in a more detailed form specified
in such notice is of material importance to the success of the public
offering of such Registrable Securities, the Company shall use all
reasonable efforts to supplement or amend the registration statement to
include such information.
(b) The Company agrees (i) not to effect any public or private
sale, distribution or purchase of any of its securities which are the same
as or similar to the Registrable Securities, including a sale pursuant to
Regulation D under the Securities Act, during the 15-day period prior to,
and during the 45-day period beginning on, the closing date of each
underwritten offering under any Demand Registration Statement, and (ii) to
use reasonable efforts to cause each holder of its securities purchased
from the Company, at any time on or after the date of this Agreement (other
than in a registered public offering) to agree not to effect any public
sale or distribution of any such securities during such period, including a
sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(c) The Company may postpone for a reasonable period of time,
not to exceed 30 days, the filing or the effectiveness of any Demand
Registration Statement if (i) the Board of Directors of the Company in good
faith determines that (A) such registration would have a material adverse
effect on any plan or proposal by the Company with respect to any
financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material
transaction, or (B) the Company is in possession of material non-public
information that, if publicly disclosed, would result in a material
disruption of a major corporate development or transaction then pending or
in progress or in other material adverse consequences to the Company, and
(ii) the Company so notifies the Holder(s) within five days after the
Holder(s) requests such registration. The Company's right to defer the
filing of a registration statement pursuant to the provisions of the
preceding sentence may not be exercised more than once during any 12 month
period.
(d) If at any time any Holder of Registrable Securities to be
covered by a Demand Registration Statement desires to sell Registrable
Securities in an underwritten offering, such Holder shall have the right to
select any nationally recognized investment banking firm(s) to administer
the offering, subject to the approval of the Company, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company shall enter into underwriting
agreements with the underwriter(s) of such offering, which agreements shall
contain such representations and warranties by the Company, and such other
terms, conditions and indemnities as are at the time customarily contained
in underwriting agreements for similar offerings and the Company shall take
or cause to be taken all such other actions as are reasonably requested by
the managing underwriter(s) in order to expedite or facilitate the
registration and disposition of the Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, causing management to participate in "road show"
presentations.
3. Incidental Registration. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 3, if the Company proposes at any time
to register any common equity securities (the "Initially Proposed Shares")
under the Securities Act for sale, whether or not for its own account,
pursuant to an underwritten offering, the Company will promptly give
written notice to the Holders of its intention to effect such registration
(such notice to specify, among other things, the proposed offering price,
the kind and number of securities proposed to be registered and the
distribution arrangements, including identification of the underwriter(s)),
and the Holders shall be entitled to include in such registration
statement, as a part of such underwritten offering, such number of shares
(the "Holder Shares") to be sold for the account of the Holders (on the
same terms and conditions as the Initially Proposed Shares) as shall be
specified in a request in writing delivered to the Company within 15 days
after the date upon which the Company gave the aforementioned notice.
The Company's obligations to include Holder Shares in a
registration statement pursuant to this Section 3 is subject to each of the
following limitations, conditions and qualifications:
i) If, at any time after giving written notice of its
intention to effect a registration of any of its common equity
securities and prior to the effective date of any registration
statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company
shall determine for any reason not to register all of such shares, the
Company may, at its election, give written notice of such
determination to the Holders and thereupon it shall be relieved of its
obligation to use any efforts to register any Holder Shares in
connection with such aborted registration (but not from its obligation
to pay the Registration Expenses (as defined herein) in connection
therewith).
ii) If the managing underwriter(s) of such offering shall
notify in writing the Company and each Holder who shall have requested
the inclusion of Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering
that, in the good faith judgment of such managing underwriter(s), the
distribution of all or a specified portion of the Holder Shares would
materially interfere with the registration and sale, in accordance
with the intended method thereof, of the Initially Proposed Shares,
then the number of Holder Shares to be included in such registration
statement shall be reduced to such number, if any, that, in the good
faith judgment of such managing underwriter(s), can be included
without such interference. If, as a result of the cutback provisions
of the preceding sentence, the Holders are not entitled to include all
of the Holder Shares in such registration, such Holders may elect to
withdraw their request to include Holder Shares in such registration.
If the Company shall so request in writing, each Holder agrees
not to effect any public or private sale or distribution of any Registrable
Securities (other than the Holder Shares) during the 15-day period prior to
and during the 45-day period beginning on, the closing date of any
underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock made for the
Company's own account.
4. Registration Procedures. (a) Whenever the Company is
required to use all reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms and
conditions of Section 2(a) or 3 (such Registrable Securities being
hereinafter referred to as "Subject Shares"), the Company will use all
reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of the Subject
Shares in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will as soon
as practicable:
i) furnish to each Holder of Subject Shares (a
"Participating Holder") and to each managing underwriter, if any, a
reasonable time in advance of their filing with the SEC, any
registration statement, amendment or supplement thereto, and any
prospectus used in connection therewith, and each Participating Holder
shall have the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to
such Participating Holder and its plan of distribution that is
contained therein and the Company will make the corrections reasonably
requested by such Participating Holder with respect to such
information prior to filing any such registration statement or any
amendment or supplement thereto; and furnish a copy of any and all
transmittal letters or other correspondence with the SEC or any other
governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having
jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange)
relating to such offering of Registrable Securities;
ii) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
with respect to the Subject Shares in form and substance satisfactory
to the Participating Holders, and use all reasonable efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible;
iii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective for the applicable period and to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of
all Subject Shares and other securities covered by such registration
statement;
iv) furnish each Participating Holder and each managing
underwriter, if any, without charge, such number of copies of such
registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each
case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by
reference therein) and the prospectus included in such registration
statement (including each preliminary prospectus and prospectus
supplement) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 promulgated
under the Securities Act relating to the Registrable Securities and
such other documents as such Participating Holder or such underwriter
may reasonably request;
v) after the filing of the registration statement, promptly
notify each Participating Holder and each managing underwriter, if
any, of any stop order issued or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened to be issued by the SEC;
vi) use all reasonable efforts to register or qualify the
Subject Shares covered by such registration statement under the
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions (including any
foreign country or any political subdivision thereof) as the managing
underwriter(s) shall reasonably recommend, and do any and all other
acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable the Participating Holders to consummate the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Subject Shares covered by such registration
statement, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be
required to (A) qualify generally to do business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified, (B)
subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so
subject, or (C) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction or otherwise take any action that would subject it to the
general jurisdiction of the courts of any jurisdiction in which it is
not so subject;
vii) promptly inform each Participating Holder and the
managing underwriter(s), if any (x) in the case of any offering of the
Registrable Securities in respect of which a registration statement is
filed under the Securities Act, of the date on which a registration
statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and
when the same has become effective and, if applicable, of the date of
filing a Rule 430A prospectus, (y) of any written comments from the
SEC with respect to any filing referred to in clause (x) and of any
request by the SEC, any securities exchange, government agency, self-
regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction for any amendment of
or supplement to any registration statement or preliminary prospectus
or prospectus included therein or any offering memorandum or other
offering document relating to such offering or (z) of the receipt by
the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the
applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction;
viii) otherwise use its reasonable efforts to comply with
all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC;
ix) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement not
later than the effective date of such registration statement;

certificates representing ownership of the securities being sold in
such denominations as shall be requested and instruct the transfer
agent to release any stop transfer orders with respect to the Subject
Shares being sold;
xi) notify each Participating Holder at any time when a
prospectus relating to the Subject Shares is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of
which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains
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 the
Company will, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file
with the SEC and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus
so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Subject Shares
such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the
prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading;
xii) enter into customary agreements (including an
underwriting agreement in customary form in the case of an
underwritten offering) and make such representations and warranties to
the sellers and underwriter(s) as in form and substance and scope are
customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings
and take such other actions as the Holders or the managing
underwriter(s) or agent, if any, reasonably require in order to
expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Subject Shares. A
Participating Holder may, at its option, require that any or all of
the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the
part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriter(s)
also be made to and for the benefit of the Participating Holder, and
that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such
underwriter(s) under such underwriting agreement also be conditions
precedent to the obligations of the Participating Holder;
xiii) make available for inspection by the Participating
Holders, any underwriter or agent participating in any disposition

or other similar professional advisor retained by any such
Participating Holders or underwriter (collectively, the "Inspectors"),

documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the "Records"),

underwriter(s) in connection with, "road show" and other customary
marketing activities, including "one-on-one" meetings with prospective
purchasers of the Subject Shares;
xv) obtain for delivery to the Company, the underwriter(s)
or their agent, with copies to the Participating Holders, 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 Participating Holders or the
managing underwriter(s) reasonably request;

Company's first quarter commencing after the effective date of the
registration statement, which earnings statements shall cover said
12-month period;
xviii) make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance
of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration
statement or of any order preventing or suspending the effectiveness
of such registration statement at the earliest possible moment;

connection therewith, with the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. ("NASD");
xxi) cause its subsidiaries to take action necessary to
effect the registration of the Subject Shares contemplated hereby,
including filing any required financial information;
xxii) effect the listing of the Subject Shares on the New

registration of the Subject Shares contemplated hereby.
(b) The Holders shall provide (in writing and signed by the
Holders and stated to be specifically for use in the related registration
statement, preliminary prospectus, prospectus or other document incident
thereto) all such information and materials and take all such action as may
be required in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable
requirements of the SEC and any applicable state securities laws and to

or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriter(s) other
than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Participating
Holder and its ownership of the securities being registered on its behalf
and its intended method of distribution and any other representation
required by law.
(d) Upon receipt of any notice from the Company that the
Company has become aware that the prospectus (including any preliminary

Section 2(a) or Section 3, as then in effect, contains any untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Subject Shares
pursuant to the registration statement covering the same until the Holders'
receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus and, if so
directed by the Company, deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense)
