The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement or the right of the Investor to rely thereon.
3.6 Authorization.

(c) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective throughout the Effectiveness Period.
(d) furnish to the Investor with respect to the Shares registered under the Registration Statement (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Shares) such number of copies of prospectuses and such other documents as the Investor may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Shares by the Investor;
(e) file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in up to two states specified in writing by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;
(f) notify the Investor on the day that the Registration Statement is declared effective;
(g) notify the Investor, at the time when a prospectus relating to the Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, on the day of the happening of any event as a result of
13
which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements in the prospectus not misleading; and in such event, prepare a supplement or amendment to the prospectus so that, when delivered to a purchaser of the Shares, the prospectus, as supplemented or amended, does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements in the prospectus not misleading, and notify the Investor on the day of the filing of such supplement or amendment;
(h) cause all such Shares to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or listed on any other market on which the Company’s shares of common stock are traded;
(i) make available for inspection by Investor, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement and any attorney, account or other agent retained by any Investor or any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by Investor or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Registration Statement;
(j) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any securities included in the Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, notify Investor on the day of such issuance, use its best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order, and notify Investor on the day of such withdrawal;
(k) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Section 7.1 and the registration of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisers to the Investor or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Investor, and
(l) forward to the Investor: (i) a copy of the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement and correspondence related thereto to the Investor at least one (1) business day prior to filing with the Commission and (ii) a copy of any comment letters received from the Commission by the Company or its counsel relating to the Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements not later than one (1) business day after receipt from the Commission.
(m) at any time until all the Registrable Securities are sold, the Company proposes (whether voluntarily or by reason of an obligation to a third party) the registration of any shares of the Company’s Stock, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Investor and the Investor shall have the right, exercisable in writing within twenty (20) business days after receipt of such notice, to demand inclusion of all or a portion of the Investor’s Registrable Securities in the registration statement. If the Investor exercises this election, the Common Stock so designated, shall be included in the registration statement at no cost or expense to the Investor. The Company shall not be required to include any Common Stock in a registration
14
statement for an underwritten public offering unless the Investor accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company. If, in the written opinion of the managing underwriter, the registration of all, or part of, the Common Stock requested by the Investor and other holders of the Company’s Common Stock to be included in the registration exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock that can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the underwriting only that amount of the Common Stock requested by the Investor and such other holders that can be sold without causing such adverse effect on a pro-rata basis.
7.2 Transfer of Shares After Registration; Regulation M. The Investor agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Shares or Warrants or its right to purchase the Shares or Warrants that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act, except as permitted under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any changes in the information set forth in the Registration Statement regarding the Investor or its plan of distribution. Investor has been advised of the requirements of Regulation M under the Exchange Act which may limit the timing of purchase and sales of the Company’s securities during a distribution pursuant the Registration Statement.
7.3 Indemnification. For the purpose of this Section 7.3:
(i) the term “Investor/Affiliate” shall mean any affiliates of the Investor and any person who controls the Investor or any affiliate of the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and any underwriter for Investor; and
(ii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to, and any document incorporated by reference in, the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.1.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and Investor/Affiliate, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which Investor or such Investor/Affiliates may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any claims or litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the prospectus, financial statements and schedules, and all other documents filed as a part thereof, as amended at the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including any information deemed to be a part thereof as of the time of effectiveness pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A, or pursuant to Rule 434, of the Rules and Regulations, or the prospectus, in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, or filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness if no Rule 424(b) filing is required (the “Prospectus”), or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
15
state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, or arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or under law, and will reimburse Investor and each such Investor/Affiliate for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Investor or such Investor/Affiliate in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein, or (ii) the failure of such Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 3.3 or 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares or Warrants, or (iii) the inaccuracy of any representations made by such Investor herein or (iv) any statement or omission in any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto that is corrected in any subsequent Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto that was delivered to the Investor prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Investor.
(b) Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Company’s directors, each of the Company’s officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, or any of their respective controlling persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any claim or litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Investor) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 3.3 or 7.2 hereof respecting the sale of the Shares or Warrants or (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by such Investor herein or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, 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 in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading or in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or approved by the Investor expressly for use therein, and will reimburse the Company and each of the Company’s directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration
16
Statement or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each of the Company’s directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the liability of Investor hereunder shall not exceed the net proceeds recognized by such Investor upon the sale of the Shares.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7.3 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7.3 promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.3 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and, based upon the advice of such indemnified party’s counsel, the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action, plus local counsel, if appropriate) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.3 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 7.3 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein in such proportion as is
17
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Investor from the placement of the Common Stock contemplated by this Agreement and the relative fault of the Company and the Investor in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Investor on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by such Investor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by such Investor that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount such Investor paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and the amount received by such Investor from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and Investor on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Investor and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 7.3 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (d); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.3 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Investor were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.3, the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the gross proceeds received by the Investor for the sales of Shares under the Agreements. 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.
7.4 Termination of Conditions and Obligations. The conditions precedent imposed by Section 6 or this Section 7 upon the transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate as to any particular number of the Shares upon the passage of two years from the effective date of the Registration Statement covering such Shares or at such time as an opinion of counsel satisfactory in form and substance to the Company shall have been rendered to the effect that such conditions are not necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act.
7.5 Information Available. During the Effectiveness Period, the Company will
18
furnish or make available to the Investor:
(a) as soon as practicable after available one copy of (i) its Annual Report to Stockholders (which Annual Report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles by a national firm of certified public accountants), (ii) if not included in substance in the Annual Report to Stockholders, upon the request of the Investor, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, (iii) upon the request of the Investor, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, (iv) upon the request of the Investor, its Current Reports on Form 8-K, and (v) a full copy of the particular Registration Statement covering the Shares (the foregoing, in each case, excluding exhibits);
(b) upon the request of the Investor, all exhibits excluded by the parenthetical to subparagraph (a)(v) of this Section 7.5; and
(c) upon the request of the Investor, a reasonable number of copies of the prospectuses to supply to any other party requiring such prospectuses; and the Company, upon the reasonable request of the Investor, will meet with the Investor or a representative thereof at the Company’s headquarters to discuss information relevant for disclosure in the Registration Statement covering the Shares and will otherwise cooperate with any Investor conducting an investigation for the purpose of reducing or eliminating Investor’s exposure to liability under the Securities Act, including the reasonable production of information at the Company’s headquarters, subject to appropriate confidentiality limitations.
7.6. Delivery of Unlegended Shares.
(a) Within three (3) business days (such third business day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Shares or Warrant Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied, and (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Investor or Investor’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Investor) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend provided for herein, reissuable pursuant to any effective and current Registration Statement described in Section 11 of this Agreement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted Shares certificate, if any, to the Investor at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(b) In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast
19
Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of Investor, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Investor is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Investor’s prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11 hereof later than two business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to Investor. As compensation to Investor for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Investor for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default. If during any 360 day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 7.6 for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then each Investor or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to 120% of the purchase price of such Shares and Warrant Shares (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”). The amount of the aforedescribed liquidated damages that have accrued or been paid for the twenty day period prior to the receipt by the Investor of the Unlegended Redemption Amount shall be credited against the Unlegended Redemption Amount. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
(d) In addition to any other rights available to Investor, if the Company fails to deliver to Investor Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement, within seven (7) business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date and the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Investor of the shares of Common Stock which the Investor was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Investor (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Investor) the amount by which (A) the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For example, if Investor purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Investor $1,000, plus interest. The Investor shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the Buy-In.
(e) In the event Investor shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in Section 7.6 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 7.6, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such Investor or any one associated or affiliated with such Investor has been engaged in
20
any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares or exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought and obtained and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Investor in the amount of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock and Warrant Shares which are subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Investor to the extent Investor obtains judgment in Investor’s favor.
7.7 If any of the following occurs (each, an “Event”): (i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date; or (ii) if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, then in addition to any other rights the Investor may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Company shall pay to Investor an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by Investor for the Stock and Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement upon the date of each such Event on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 18% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Investor, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly and validly executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
