Introduction
------------
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 13,
1996 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), among the Company, PSS C-Care, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("PSS Sub"),
and the Stockholders, the Stockholders are being issued shares of common stock,
par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company in connection
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.
As a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company is entering into this Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. As used herein, the following terms have the
-----------
following respective meanings:
Commission means the Securities and Exchange Commission, or any other
----------
federal agency at the time administering the Securities Act.
Distribution Period means, (a) in the case of a distribution of
-------------------
Registrable Shares in a firm commitment underwritten public offering, the period
of time as each underwriter has completed the distribution of all securities
purchased by it, but in any case not more than 30 days, and (b) in the case of
any other distribution of Registrable Shares, the period ending on the earlier
of (i) the sale of all Registrable Shares covered by such registration and (ii)
21 days following the effective date of the registration statement utilized in
connection with such registration under the Securities Act.
Registrable Shares means, beginning with the first anniversary of the
------------------
date hereof, the following cumulative amount of the shares of Common Stock
issued to each of the Stockholders pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (in
each case, including any additional shares issued as a stock dividend thereon or
any shares issued as the result of a stock split (including reverse stock
split), recapitalization, reorganization, stock exchange or other combination):
Anniversary Date Cumulative Amount
---------------- -----------------
First 25%
Second 50%
Third 75%
Fourth 100%
Representative means Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, or such other person notified
--------------
in writing to the Company by holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares, in
such person's capacity as representative of the Stockholders.
Securities Act means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
--------------
2. Incidental Registration. (a) If at any time on or after the
-----------------------
first anniversary of the date hereof, the Company proposes to register any
Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than on Forms X-0, X-0 or any other
form which does not permit registration of securities by selling stockholders
for sale to the public for cash) in connection with the proposed offer and sale
for cash either for its own account or on behalf of any holder of Common Stock,
it will give written notice to the Stockholders of its intention to do so at
least 10 business days prior to the earliest date on which the Company
anticipates that such registration will be declared effective by the Commission.
Upon a Stockholder's written request to the Company, given within 10 business
days after receipt of any such notice, to register any of such Stockholder's
Registrable Shares, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the Registrable Shares as to which registration shall have been so requested to
be included in the shares of Common Stock to be covered by the registration
statement proposed to be filed by the Company; provided that nothing set forth
--------
in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from, at any time, withdrawing,
abandoning or delaying any registration of such Common Stock.
(b) The Company shall have the sole right to select the managing
underwriter or underwriters. The managing underwriter for such offering shall
have the authority, in its sole discretion, to reduce the number of Registrable
Shares to be included in such registration if and to the extent that it
determines that inclusion of such Registrable Shares would adversely effect the
marketing of the other Common Stock to be sold thereunder. Any such reduction
in the shares included in any such offering shall be effected (i) first, by
excluding shares ("Piggyback Shares") of Common Stock that otherwise would be
included by virtue of incidental or piggyback registration rights (but not
demand registration rights) granted to stockholders of the Company (including
the Stockholders), which exclusion shall be effected on a pro rata basis based
upon the number of shares of Common Stock so requested to be registered in such
offering by all such stockholders proposing to sell Piggyback Shares and (ii)
second, only to the extent necessary and after the exclusion of all Piggyback
Shares, by excluding shares of Common Stock included in such registration by the
Company and any stockholder of the Company who shall have exercised a demand
registration right in connection with such offering, which exclusion shall be
effected on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares of Common Stock
proposed to be registered on behalf of the Company and on behalf of any such
holder of demand registration rights.
(c) If any registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be
underwritten, in whole or in part, the Company or the managing underwriter or
underwriters may require that the Registrable Shares requested for inclusion
pursuant to this Section 2 be included in the underwriting on the same terms and
conditions as the securities otherwise being sold through the underwriters.
3. Preparation and Filing. If and whenever the Company is under an
----------------------
obligation pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 to effect the registration of
any Registrable Shares, the Company shall, as expeditiously as practicable:
(a) prepare and diligently pursue the filing with the Commission of a
registration statement with respect to such securities and use its reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for
the Distribution Period, but no longer;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statements and the prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
effective for the Distribution Period, but no longer;
(c) furnish to the holders of Registrable Shares included in such
registration statement such number of copies of a summary prospectus or other
prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such holders of
Registrable Shares may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale
or other disposition of such Registrable Shares;
(d) use its reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable
Shares covered by such registration statement under the securities or "blue sky"
laws of such states as each holder of such
2
Registrable Shares shall reasonably request (provided, that the Company shall
--------
not be required to consent to general service of process for all purposes in any
jurisdiction where it is not then qualified) and do any and all other acts or
things which may be necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate
the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions of such securities;
(e) notify each Stockholder selling Registrable Shares covered by such
registration statement, at any time during the Distribution Period when a
prospectus relating thereto covered by such registration statement 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, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and at
the request of such Stockholder, prepare and furnish to such Stockholder a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such
prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an 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 not misleading in the light
of the circumstances then existing; and
(f) use its reasonable efforts to furnish, at the request of any
Stockholder requesting registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2
on the date that such Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for
sale in connection with a registration pursuant to Section 2, if such securities
are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold
through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect
to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the
counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, stating
that such registration statement has become effective under the Securities Act
and that (A) to the best of such counsel's knowledge, no stop order suspending
the effectiveness thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose
have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Securities Act,
(B) the registration statement, the related prospectus, and each amendment or
supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder (except no opinion or statement is required regarding
financial statements and other financial and statistical data) and (C) to such
other effects as may reasonably be requested by counsel for the underwriters, if
any, and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public
accountants of the Company, stating that they are independent public accountants
within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such
accountants, the financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by
reference in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the
applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act, and such letter shall
additionally cover such other financial matters with respect to the registration
in respect of which such letter is being given as such underwriters, if any, may
reasonably request.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Company shall have the right to deregister any Registrable Shares that remain
unsold at the conclusion of any Distribution Period.
4. Stockholders' Lock-Up; Cooperation. If any Registrable Shares of
----------------------------------
a Stockholder are included in an underwritten registration pursuant to Section
2, each Stockholder, as a condition to receiving the rights granted hereunder,
may be required to, and if required such Stockholder shall, enter into an
agreement with the managing underwriter or underwriters (a "Lock-up Agreement"),
pursuant to which such Stockholder shall refrain from selling any shares of
Common Stock not included in such registration during the period of distribution
of Common Stock by such underwriters and for a period of up to 180 days
following the effective date of such registration. In connection with each
registration pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Stockholders selling Registrable
Shares shall furnish in writing to the Company and any underwriter participating
in such offering such information with respect to themselves and the proposed
distribution by them as shall be reasonably necessary in order to assure
compliance with Federal and applicable state securities laws.
3
5. Underwriting Agreement. In connection with each registration
----------------------
pursuant to Section 2 covering an underwritten public offering, the Company and
the Stockholders agree to enter into a written agreement with the managing
underwriter or underwriters in such form and containing such provisions as are
usual and customary in the securities business for such an arrangement between
reputable underwriters and companies of the Company's size and investment
stature; provided that such agreement shall not contain any such provision
--------
applicable to the Company or the Stockholders which is inconsistent with the
provisions of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the time and place of
-------- -------
the closing under said underwriting agreement shall be as mutually agreed upon
between the Company and such managing underwriter.
6. Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
--------
this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees,
fees and expenses of complying with securities and "blue sky" laws, printing
expenses and fees and disbursements of the Company's counsel, and of the
Company's independent certified public accountants shall be paid by the Company;
provided, that counsel to the Stockholders and all underwriting discounts and
---------
selling commissions applicable to the Registrable Shares covered by
registrations effected hereunder shall not be borne by the Company but shall be
borne by the Stockholder or Stockholders.
7. Indemnification. (a) In the event of any registration of any
---------------
Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement or
registration or qualification of any Registrable Shares under state securities
or "blue sky" laws pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Stockholder owning such Registrable Shares and each other
person, if any, who controls such holder, within the meaning of the Securities
Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration
statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the
Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document prepared or
furnished by the Company incident to the registration or qualification of any
Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement, or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or,
with respect to any prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any
violation by the Company of the Securities Act or state securities or "blue sky"
laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of
the Company in connection with such registration or qualification under such
state securities or blue sky laws; and shall reimburse such Stockholder or other
person acting on behalf of such Stockholder and each such controlling person for
any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action; provided, that the Company shall not be liable (i) in any such case to
--------
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in the registration statement, any preliminary prospectus
or final prospectus or any amendment or supplement or any document incident to
the registration or qualification of any Registrable Shares pursuant to this
Agreement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company by such Stockholder or such underwriter specifically for use in
the preparation thereof and (ii) to any broker or other person acting on behalf
of such Stockholder to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon any representation or other statement of such
broker or other person that is not in conformity with the preliminary prospectus
or prospectus.
(b) Each Stockholder hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the
Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall
sign such registration statement and any person who controls the Company within
the meaning of the Securities Act, and before Registrable Shares held by such
Stockholder shall be included in any registration pursuant to this Agreement,
any underwriter acting on such Stockholder's behalf shall agree to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the
Company who shall sign such registration statement and any person who
4
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act (in each case in
the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in (a) above) with respect
to any untrue statement or omission from such registration statement, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereof, if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Stockholder or such underwriter, as the case may be, specifically for use in the
preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final
prospectus or amendment or supplement; provided that, the maximum amount of
--------
liability in respect of such indemnification shall be limited, in the case of
each Stockholder who, at any time during the registration or the year preceding
the registration, was not an officer or director of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, to the amount paid for such Registrable Shares upon the sale
thereof pursuant to such registration.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the
"indemnified party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "indemnifying party") promptly after such indemnified party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the indemnifying party (at its expense) to assume the defense of any
claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided, that counsel for the
---------
indemnifying party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation,
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and the indemnified
party may participate in such defense, but only at such indemnified party's
expense; and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to
-------- -------
give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its
obligations under this Section 7 except to the extent that the omission results
in a failure of actual notice to the indemnifying party and such indemnifying
party is damaged as a result of the failure to give notice. It is understood
that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any action or related
actions in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and disbursements of
more than one separate firm qualified in such jurisdiction to act as counsel for
the indemnified party; it being further understood that the Stockholders
collectively will be considered one indemnified party for purposes of this
sentence. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, 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 to such claim or
litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Representative
shall act on behalf of the Stockholders in connection with any proceeding
brought or claim made under this Section 7, including conducting the defense of
any such claim if the Stockholders are the indemnifying party, and all notices
and consents referred to in this Section 7(c) shall be sufficient if given to or
by the Representative.
8. Rule 144 Matters. For so long as any Stockholder holds
----------------
Registrable Shares, or shares of Common Stock that will become Registrable
Shares, that may not be sold, without restriction, under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or any successor rule, the Company shall (a) make and keep public
information generally available, as those terms are defined in Rule 144 under

and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the
