3.12 Governmental Permits, Etc. The Company possesses all licenses,
franchises, governmental approvals, permits or other governmental authorizations
(collectively, "Authorizations") relating to the operation of the Business,
except for those Authorizations the failure of which to possess would not,

knowledge, the Company is in compliance with the terms of all Authorizations and
all laws, ordinances, regulations and decrees which to the Company's knowledge
are applicable to the Business, except for such non-compliance which does not,
separately or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

license agreement (the "Glaxo Agreement") with Glaxo Dermatology ("Glaxo"), a
division of Glaxo Wellcome, Inc., granting Glaxo worldwide rights to Glylorin, a
lipid compound of the Company. The Company does not have any knowledge that
leads the Company to believe that Glaxo intends to terminate the Glaxo Agreement
or its relationship with the Company, and the Company has not received any
notices or other communications from Glaxo to that effect.
4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF INVESTORS. Each
Investor hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company, that:
4.1 Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Investor and its
officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization, execution
and delivery of, and the performance of all obligations of the Investor under,
this Agreement has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing, and this
Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor,
enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or others laws of general application relating to or affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) the effect of rules of
law governing the availability of equitable remedies.
4.2 Purchase for Own Account. The Purchased Shares to be purchased by such
Investor hereunder will be acquired for investment for such Investor's own
account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or
distribution thereof within the meaning of the Act, and such Investor has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same. If not an individual, such Investor also represents that
such Investor has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring
Purchased Shares.
4.3 Disclosure of Information. The Investor has received a copy of the
Disclosure Documents and has received or has had full access to all the
information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the Purchased Shares to be purchased by the Investor
under this Agreement. Investor further has had an opportunity to ask questions
and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the
offering of the Purchased Shares and to obtain additional information (to the
extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without
unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to
the Investor or to which the Investor had access. The foregoing, however, does
not in any way limit or modify the representations and warranties made by the
Company in Section 3.
4.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor understands that the purchase
of the Purchased Shares involves substantial risk. Such Investor: (i) has
experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage
and acknowledges that such Investor is able to fend for itself, can bear the
economic risk of such Investor's investment in the Purchased Shares and has such
knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that such Investor is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Purchased
Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment
and/or (ii) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company
and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and
duration that enables such Investor to be aware of the character, business
acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.
4.5 Accredited Investor Status. Unless otherwise expressly indicated on
the Schedule of Investors to this Agreement, such Investor is an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
4.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Purchased
Shares are characterized as "restricted securities" under the Act inasmuch as
they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under the Act and the Rules and Regulations such securities
may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain limited
circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that such Investor
is familiar with Rule 144 of the Commission and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. Such Investor understands that the
Company is under no obligation to register any of the Purchased Shares except as
provided in Section 7 below.
4.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the
representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not to make any
disposition of all or any portion of the Purchased Shares unless and until:
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Act
covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance
with such registration statement and the provisions of Section 7 of this
Agreement; or
(b) (i) such Investor shall have notified the Company of the
proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of
the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) such Investor
shall have furnished the Company, at the expense of such Investor or its
transferee, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the
Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above,
no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for
any transfer of any Purchased Shares in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A,
or (ii) for any transfer of Purchased Shares by an Investor that is a
partnership or a corporation to (A) a partner of such partnership or shareholder
of such corporation, or (B) the estate of any such partner or shareholder, or
(iii) for the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession by any Investor to
his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for any of the
foregoing; provided, that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee agrees
in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 4 (other than Section 4.5)
to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Investor hereunder.
4.8 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing the
Purchased Shares will bear the legends set forth below:
(a) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS
OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS
PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO
REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE
REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD
OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN
FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED
TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
(b) THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF, AND MAY HAVE CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS PURSUANT TO, THE
PROVISIONS OF A PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER, WHICH MAY
RESTRICT THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SHARES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. A COPY OF SUCH
AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED, WITHOUT CHARGE, AT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL OFFICE.
(c) After consultation with counsel for the Investor, any legend
that counsel to the Company reasonably deems appropriate under the laws of the
State of California.
The legends set forth in (a) and (b) above shall be removed by the Company
from any certificate evidencing Purchased Shares upon delivery to the Company of
an opinion of counsel to the Investor, reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
that the legended security can be freely transferred in a public sale without a
registration statement being in effect under the Act and in compliance with
exemption requirements under applicable state securities laws and that such
transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration
pursuant to which the Company issued the Purchased Shares.
4.9 Resale Restrictions. Each Investor agrees that it will not, to the
extent requested by the Company or an underwriter or placement agent of
securities of the Company, directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract or grant
an option to sell, pledge, encumber, or otherwise dispose of or otherwise
transfer (a "Disposition") any Purchased Shares (other than to donees,
shareholders or partners of the Investor who agree to
be similarly bound) for up to 180 days after the effective date of a
registration statement of the Company filed under the Act; provided, however,
that (i) such agreement shall be applicable only to the first such registration
statement of the Company filed after the date of this Agreement that covers
securities to be sold on its behalf to the public in an underwritten offering
but not to any Registrable Securities (as hereinafter defined) that are included
in and sold pursuant to such registration statement; and (ii) all executive
officers and directors of the Company then holding Common Stock enter into
similar agreements.

is in effect on the date hereof or any successor registration form under the Act
subsequently adopted by the Commission which permits inclusion or incorporation
of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company
with the Commission.

Securities that have registration rights pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Registration. The terms "register," "registered," and
"registration" refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a
registration statement in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or
ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement.
(d) Registrable Securities. The term "Registrable Securities" means:
(1) all of the Purchased Shares, (2) any other shares of Common Stock owned, at
the time of filing of the Form S-3 by the Company, by an Investor that
reasonably may be deemed to be an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 144) of the
Company, and (3) any shares of Common Stock of the Company issued as a dividend
or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of,
any of the shares of Common Stock that are included in clauses (1) and (2)
above; provided, however, that the term "Registrable Securities" shall exclude
in all events (and such securities shall not constitute "Registrable
Securities") (i) any Registrable Securities sold or transferred by a person in a
transaction in which the registration rights granted under this Agreement are
not assigned in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) any
Registrable Securities sold in a public offering pursuant to a registration
statement filed with the Commission or sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated
under the Act ("Rule 144") or (iii) as to any Holder, the Registrable Securities
held by such Holder if all of such Registrable Securities can be publicly sold
without volume restriction within a three-month period pursuant to Rule 144.
(e) Prospectus: The term "Prospectus" shall mean the prospectus
included in any Shelf Registration Statement (including, without limitation, a
prospectus that discloses information previously omitted from a prospectus filed
as part of an effective registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A
promulgated under the Act), as amended or supplemented by any prospectus
supplement (including, without limitation, any prospectus supplement with
respect to the terms of the offering of any portion of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement), and all other
amendments and supplements to the
Prospectus, including post-effective amendments, and all material incorporated
by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus.
(f) Shelf Registration Statement. See Section 7.2(a).
7.2 Form S-3 Shelf Registration.
(a) Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission within 60 days following the Closing and use all reasonable efforts
to have declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter, a registration
statement on Form S-3 (or, if the Company is not then eligible to use Form S-3,
then another appropriate form) providing for the resale by the Holders of all of
the Registrable Securities (the "Shelf Registration Statement"). The Shelf
Registration Statement may include securities other than those held by Holders.
Cellegy shall use its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective, pursuant to the Act and the Rules and Regulations
promulgated thereunder, until (i) the date when such Registrable Securities
cease to meet the definition of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 7.1,
or (ii) the Company's obligations hereunder terminate; provided, however:
(i) that the Holders will sell the Registrable Securities pursuant
to such registration only during a "Permitted Window" (as defined below);
(ii) if the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate
signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that,
in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be
seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for sales to be made
from such Shelf Registration Statement at such time (or, in the case a "Notice
of Resale" (as defined below) has been given, that would be seriously
detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for the Permitted Window to
commence at such time) due to (A) the existence of a material development or
potential material development involving the Company which the Company would be
obligated to disclose in the Prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration
Statement, which disclosure would in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time or
(B) concurrent public filings with the Commission of other registration
statements, then the Company will have the right to defer the filing (the
"Deferral Right") of the Shelf Registration Statement (or the commencement of
the Permitted Window, as the case may be) for a period of not more than 60 days
after the date it would otherwise be required to file the Shelf Registration
Statement pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) (or after receipt of the Notice of
Resale, as the case may be); provided, however, that the Company will not
utilize the Deferral Right more than once in any twelve month period; and
provided further, however, that the Company may defer the filing of the Shelf
Registration Statement (or the commencement of the Permitted Window as the case
may be) for up to 180 days if so requested by an underwriter in connection with
an underwritten offering of the Company's securities so long as any selling
shareholders in such underwritten offering are subject to a lock-up agreement of
the same duration (other than with respect to the Company securities to be sold
by such selling shareholders in such underwritten offering); and
(iii) that the Company will not be required to effect any such
registration, qualification or compliance under applicable state blue sky laws
in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would thereby be required to
qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process.
In the event that the Shelf Registration Statement shall cease to be
effective, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a new registration
statement covering the Registrable Securities and shall use its best efforts to
have such registration statement declared effective as soon as possible. Any
such registration statement shall be considered a "Shelf Registration Statement"
hereunder.
(b) Permitted Window. For the purposes of this Agreement, a
"Permitted Window" with respect to a Holder is a period of 30 consecutive
calendar days commencing upon delivery to the Holder of the Company's written
notification to the Holder in response to a Notice of Resale that the Prospectus
contained in the Shelf Registration Statement is available for resale. In order
to cause a Permitted Window to commence, a Holder must first give written notice
to the Company of its present intention to sell part or all of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration (a "Notice of Resale").
Upon receipt of such Notice of Resale, the Company will give written notice to
the Holders as soon as practicable, but in no event not more than three business
days after such receipt, that (A) the Permitted Window will commence on the date
such notice is received by the Holder, (B) it is necessary for the Company to
supplement the Prospectus or make an appropriate filing under the Exchange Act
so as to cause the Prospectus to become current (unless a certificate of the
President or Chief Executive Officer is delivered as provided in 7.2(a)(ii)
above), or (C) the Company is required under the Act and the Rules and
Regulations thereunder to amend the Shelf Registration Statement in order to
cause the Prospectus to be current (unless a certificate of the President or
Chief Executive Officer is delivered as provided in 7.2(a)(ii) above). If the
Company determines that a supplement to the Prospectus, the filing of a report
pursuant to the Exchange Act or an amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement
required under the Act, as provided above, is necessary, it will take such
actions as soon as reasonably practicable (subject to paragraph (c) below), and
the Company will notify the Holder of the filing of such supplement, report or
amendment, and, in the case of an amendment, the effectiveness thereof, and the
Permitted Window will then commence.
(c) Closing of Permitted Window. During a Permitted Window and in
the event (i) of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
7.3(c) hereof or (ii) that, in the judgment of the Company's Board of Directors,
it is advisable to suspend use of the Prospectus for a discrete period of time
due to undisclosed pending corporate developments or pending public filings with
the Commission (which need not be described in detail), the Company shall
deliver a certificate in writing to the Holder to the effect of the foregoing
and, upon receipt of such certificate, the Permitted Window shall terminate. The
Permitted Window shall resume upon the Holder's receipt of copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus, or at such time as the Holder is advised in
writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and at such time as the
Holder has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus and which
are required to be delivered as part of the Prospectus. In any event, the
Permitted Window shall resume no later than 60 days after it has been terminated
pursuant to this Section. If the Company has previously terminated a Permitted
Window pursuant to this subsection within 90 days of the date that it delivers
another notice pursuant this subsection terminating another Permitted Window,
then the time period set forth in the preceding sentence shall be shortened so
that the Permitted Window shall resume no later than 10 days after it has been
terminated pursuant to such second notice.
(d) Expenses. The registration fees and expenses incurred by the
Company in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement and actions taken by
the Company in connection with each Permitted Window shall be borne by the
Company. Holder shall be responsible for any fees and expenses of its counsel or
other advisers.
7.3 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company
shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Furnish to the Holder such number of copies of a Prospectus,
including a preliminary Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Act, and such other documents as it may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by it that are
included in such registration.
(b) Use all reasonable efforts to register and qualify the
securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the
Holder, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent
to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(c) Notify the Holder promptly (i) of any request by the Commission
or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of
effectiveness of a registration statement for amendments or supplements to such
registration statement or related prospectus or for additional information, (ii)
of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental
authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration
statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and (iii) of the
receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification or
exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose.
(d) Make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement at the
earliest possible time.
7.4 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 7.2 that the
Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding it, the
Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of its
Registrable Securities.
7.5 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are
included in a registration statement under this Agreement:
(a) By Cellegy. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will
indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, officers and directors of the Holder,
each entity that may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Act in connection with the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Holder or
any such underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act (such
persons and entities referred to as "Holder Indemnified Parties"), against any
losses, expenses, damages or liabilities to which they may become subject under
the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law (a "Loss"), insofar as
such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of any claim, action or
proceeding brought by a third party arising out of or based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in a registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 7;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in a registration
statement filed pursuant to this Section 7 a material fact required to be stated
therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act,
the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities
law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;
and the Company will reimburse each Holder Indemnified Party for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with
investigating or defending any such Violation; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any such Loss, if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Company, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any
such Loss to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by the Holder Indemnified
Party; and provided further, that the Company will not be liable for the legal
fees and expenses of more than one counsel to the Holder Indemnified Parties.
(b) By the Holder. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who have signed the registration statement, and each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act (such persons and
entities referred to as "Company Indemnified Parties") against any Losses to
which such Company Indemnified Parties may become subject under the Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such Losses (or actions
in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case
to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Holder
expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the Holder will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company
Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or defending any such
Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
subsection shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if such settlement is effected
without the consent of the Holder; provided further, that the Holder shall not
be liable for the legal fees and expenses of more than one counsel to the
Company Indemnified Parties; and provided further, that the total amounts
payable in indemnity by the Holder under this subsection in respect of any
Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by the Holder in the
registered offering out of which such Violation arises.
(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim for
indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party
under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement of such an action and the indemnifying party shall have the right
to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel elected by the indemnifying party and reasonably acceptable
for the indemnified party materially; provided, however, that an indemnified
party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses
to be paid by the indemnifying party, if the indemnified party has been advised
in writing by counsel that representation of such indemnified party by the
counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual
conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of
any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the
indemnified party under this Section to the extent such delay caused actual
prejudice to the indemnified party, but the omission so to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section.
(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The foregoing indemnity
agreements of the Company and the Holder are subject to the condition that,
insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but
eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the Commission at
the time the registration statement in question becomes effective or in the
amended prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the
Commission (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreements shall not inure
to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was furnished in
a timely manner to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person
asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such
action is required by the Act.
(e) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution to joint liability under the Act in any case in which either (i) a
Holder Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Section but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or
decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal
or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section provides for
indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Act may be required
on the part of the Holder Indemnified Party in circumstances for which
indemnification is provided under this Section then, and in each such case, the
Company and the Holder Indemnified Parties will contribute to the aggregate
Losses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in
proportion to their relative fault as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction; provided however, that in no event, except in instances of fraud
by the Holder in which there is no limitation, (i) shall the Holder be
responsible for more than the portion represented by the percentage that the
public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by and sold under
the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities
offered by and sold under such registration statement and (ii) shall the Holder
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of
all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by the Holder pursuant to such
registration statement; and in any event, no person or entity guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and the Holder under
this Section shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable
Securities in a registration statement, and otherwise.
7.6 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of
certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the
sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, for so
long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, the Company agrees to:
(a) Make and keep adequate, current public information available, as
those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Act, at all times;
(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and
other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
(c) So long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to
furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company
as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144, a copy of
the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other
reports and documents of the Company as the Holder may reasonably request in
availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to
sell any such securities without registration.
7.7 Termination of Cellegy's Obligations. The Company shall have no
obligations to register, or maintain, a registration statement governing
Registrable Securities, (i) if all Registrable Securities have been registered
and sold pursuant to registrations effected pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii)
with respect to any particular Holder, at such time as all Registrable
Securities held by such Holder may be sold within a three month period under
Rule 144, as it may be amended from time to time, including but not limited to
amendments that reduce that period of time that securities must be held before
such securities may be sold pursuant to such rule.
7.8 Piggyback Registrations. (a) The Company shall use its best efforts
to notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least twenty (20)
days before filing any registration statement under the Act for purposes of
effecting a public offering by the Company of securities of the Company
(excluding registration statements relating to any employee benefit plan or a
corporate reorganization) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to
include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such
registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by
such Holder shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of the above-described
notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice
shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder
wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to
include all of its Registrable Securities in any such registration statement
filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right
to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement
or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to
offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
The Holders' rights to include any Registrable Securities in any offering under
this Section are subject in all events to the ability of the managing
underwriter for such offering (or, if there is no underwriter, then the Company)
to exclude some or all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered
on the basis of a good faith determination that inclusion of such securities
might adversely affect the success of the offering or otherwise adversely affect
the Company. Any such exclusion shall be pro rata among all Holders who have
requested to sell Registrable Securities in such registration.
(b) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the
Company gives notice under this Section is for an underwritten offering, then
the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such
event, the right of any such Holder's Registrable Securities to be included in a
registration pursuant to this Section shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting and
shall furnish such information and documents as the Company or the managing
underwriter or underwriters may reasonably request. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter determine(s) in good
faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude Registrable
Securities from the registration and the underwriting, pro rata among all
Holders who have requested to sell Registrable Securities in such registration.
If
any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may
elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the
underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective
date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or
withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the
registration.
(c) Expenses. The Holders shall be responsible for their pro rata
share of registration fees and underwriters' and brokers' discounts and
commissions relating to any Registrable Securities included in such
registration. Other registration expenses (such as legal and accounting fees of
counsel to the Company, printing fees, road show expenses, and the like) shall
be shall be borne by the Company.
(d) Number of Piggyback Registrations. The piggyback registration
rights granted to the Holders under this Section shall apply to the first three
registrations filed by the Company after the Closing.
8. ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
registration rights of the Holder under Section 7 hereof may be assigned only to
a party who acquires from the Holder at least 33% of the shares of Common Stock
that constituted the original number of Registrable Securities acquired by the
original Holder of the Registrable Securities or, if less, at least 100,000
shares of Registrable Securities (as such number may be adjusted to reflect
subdivisions, combinations and stock dividends of the Company's Common Stock),
(such party is referred to as a "Assignee"); provided, however, that (w) no
party may be assigned any of the foregoing rights until the Company is given
written notice by the assigning party at the time of such assignment stating the
name and address of the Assignee and identifying the securities of the Company
as to which the rights in question are being assigned; (x) that any such
Assignee shall receive such assigned rights subject to all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement; and (y) no such assignment or assignments shall
increase the obligations of the Company hereunder.
