Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer
Loomis manages the Managed Accounts under contracts that provide the client with
the right to terminate its investment advisory relationship with Loomis upon
written notice. The right to terminate may take effect immediately or upon
receipt of the notice or at a future date as specified in the notice to Loomis,
depending upon the terms of the particular advisory agreement. The owner of a
Managed Account has the right to receive all dividends, profits, distributions
and economic benefits in respect of the Common Stock which will be held in such
Managed Accounts.
As described in Loomis' previous Schedule 13D filing made to report the
acquisition of beneficial ownership of the Account Shares, pursuant to a
Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), to be dated
as of the Effective Date, between the Issuer and Loomis, the Issuer will agree
to file and cause to become effective a shelf registration statement covering
resales by Loomis from time to time, and to cause such shelf registration
statement to remain effective until the third anniversary of the Effective Date
(or the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date if the Issuer becomes entitled
to use to registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder (the "Securities Act")). In addition, Loomis will have the
right to make three written request to the Issuers for registration under the
Securities Act of all or a part of the Account Shares, and will have the right
to make unlimited requests for registrations so long as such registrations may
be effected on Form S-3 registration statements. In addition, Loomis will have
customary "piggyback" registration rights to include the Account Shares, subject
to certain limitations, in any other registration statement filed by the Issuer
under the Securities Act. The Issuer will agree to pay all expenses in
connection with the performance of the obligations to effect the shelf, demand
and piggyback registration under the Securities Act of the Account Shares, other
than:
(i) underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or other similar selling
expenses attributable to the sale of the Account Shares; and
(ii) any expenses (other than internal expenses of its own officers and
employees) in connection with any additional requested registration
on Form S-3 after the three permitted requested registrations.
The Issuer will agree to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, Loomis and certain of its affiliates against certain
securities law liabilities (including, under certain circumstances, liabilities
unrelated to its participation in any registered offering or sale of the Account
Shares) and, in lieu thereof, to contribute to payments required to be made by
Loomis or any such affiliate. The Issuer's obligations to effect and maintain
the effectiveness of any registration required by the Registration Rights
Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of:
(a) the sale of all Account Shares;
(b) notice from Loomis that it no longer needs the benefits of the
Registration Rights
<PAGE>
Agreement; and
(c) when Loomis no longer holds for the benefit of the Specified Accounts,
10% or more of the Commons Stock and the Issuer and Loomis have
received an opinion of recognized securities counsel to the effect that
the Account Shares may be freely resold by Loomis without resort to the
provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
The information herein regarding the provisions of the agreement pursuant to
which Loomis provides investment advisory services to its clients, and the
Registration Rights Agreements is a summary only, and does not purport to be
complete. The Registration Rights Agreement should be reviewed for a complete
recitation of its terms and provisions.
