file with the Commission the Registration Statement covering the resale of all
Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant
to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the
Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities
on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate
form in accordance herewith) and shall contain (except if otherwise agreed by
the Holders) the "Plan of Distribution" attached hereto as Annex A. The Company
shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing
thereof, but in any event prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall
use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective
under the Securities Act until the date which is two years after the date that a
Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission or such earlier
date when all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement have
been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k) as
determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to
such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company's transfer agent and the
affected Holders (the "EFFECTIVENESS PERIOD").
(b) If: (a) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its
Filing Date (if the Company files the Registration Statement without affording
the Holder the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by
Section 3(a), the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied clause (a)), or
(b) the Company fails to file with the Commission a request for acceleration in
accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within five
Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing,
whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not
be "reviewed," or not subject to further review, or (c) the Company fails to
respond to any comments made by the Commission within fifteen Trading Days after
the receipt of such comments, or (d) a Registration Statement filed hereunder is
not declared effective by the Commission by its Effectiveness Date, or (e) after
the Registration Statement is filed with and first declared effective by the
Commission, the Registration Statement ceases to be effective as to all
Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate, or the Holders are not
permitted to utilize the Prospectus thereunder to resell such Registrable
Securities, for an aggregate in all such events of 20 Trading Days during the
Effectiveness Period, (f) an amendment to the Registration Statement is not
filed by the Company with the Commission within fifteen Trading Days of the
Commission's notifying the Company that such amendment is required in order for
the Registration Statement to be declared effective, (any such failure or breach
being referred to as an "EVENT," and for purposes of clause (a) or (d) the date
on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (b) the date on which such
five Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clauses (c) or (f) the
date which such fifteen Trading Day-period is exceeded, for the purposes of
clause (e) the date which such twenty Trading Days is exceeding, being referred
to as "EVENT DATE"), then, subject to the
3
following paragraph with respect to the Preferred Shares: (x) on each such Event
Date the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid
by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (but which shall not include
any amounts paid for the Warrants); and (y) 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, the Company shall pay to each Holder an
amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 2% of the
aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
(but which shall not include any amounts paid for the Warrants). If the Company
fails to pay any 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 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be
paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such
liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon,
are paid in full.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
if the Commission refuses to permit the inclusion of the Preferred Shares in the
initial Registration Statement filed by the Company in accordance with this
Agreement, then the parties agree that the Company may remove the Preferred
Shares from such initial Registration Statement and for purposes of calculating
the liquidated damages specified in Section 2(b), a Purchaser's investment
amount will not include the amount paid for the Preferred Stock. The parties
further agree that any liquidated damages incurred on other Registrable
Securities will be unaffected thereby. In such event, if a Party has not
required the redemption of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms
thereof following the exclusion of such Preferred Shares from the initial
Registration Statement, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a
new Registration Statement to cover the resale of the Preferred Shares by the
Holders promptly, but in any event within fifteen Trading Days from the date
that the Commission indicates that it may do so and such Registration Statement
shall be subject to the requirements set forth herein for a Registration
Statement, including as to its Effectiveness Date and other requirements under
this Section 2(b).
3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
In connection with the Company's registration obligations hereunder,
the Company shall:
(a) Not less than five Trading Days prior to the filing of the
Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, the Company shall, (i) furnish to the Holders and the Special Counsel
copies of all such documents proposed to be filed which documents will be
subject to the review of such Holders and the Special Counsel, and (ii) cause
its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants
to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of
respective counsel to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of
the Securities Act. The Company shall not file the Registration Statement or any
such Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which the Holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities and the Special Counsel shall
reasonably object in writing within three Trading Days of the later of receipt
thereof or receipt of revised versions thereof.
4
(b) (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the
Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable
Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission
such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under
the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related
Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement,
and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii)
respond as promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event within ten days, to
any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible
provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to
the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all
material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the
intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in the
Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
(c) Notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold and the
Special Counsel as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A)
below, not less than three Trading Days prior to such filing) and (if requested
by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one Trading Day
following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is proposed to be filed;
(B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a "review" of
the Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on
such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies
thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); and (C) with
respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the
same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other
Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the
initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) 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; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes
the financial statements included in the Registration Statement ineligible for
inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of
the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
5
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (but subject
to the liquidated damages clause of Section 2(b)) in the event that, in the
judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of a Prospectus included
in a Registration Statement due to pending material developments or other events
that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes
public disclosure would be materially detrimental to the Company, the Company
shall notify all Holders to such effect, and, upon receipt of such notice, each
such Holder shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement until such Holder has received copies of
a supplemented or amended Prospectus or until such Holder is advised in writing
by the Company that the then current Prospectus may be used and has received
copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the Company shall not exercise its rights under this Section
3(d) to suspend the use of a Registration Statement or Prospectus to sell
Registrable Securities for a cumulative period exceeding 20 Trading Days.
(e) Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued,
obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or
exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(f) Furnish to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without charge, at
least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits
to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or
incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the
Commission.
(g) Promptly deliver to each Holder and the Special Counsel, without
charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of
prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may
reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus
and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by
such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its
best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders and
the Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or
exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder requests in writing, to
keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective
during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things
necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, that the
Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or subject the Company to any
material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
6
(i) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation
and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered
to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates shall
be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive
legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations
and registered in such names as any such Holders may request.
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v),
as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including
a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will
contain 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, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(k) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission.
(l) The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the
Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Holder and, if requested by the Commission, the
controlling person thereof.
4. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All fees and expenses incident to the
performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be
borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in
the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all

Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (B) in
compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) printing

audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of
the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.
Holders shall bear the costs of brokerage and sales commissions incurred by
them in the sale of the Registrable Securities.
5. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company shall, notwithstanding
any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the
officers,
7
directors, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any
such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of
each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs
(including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable
attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "LOSSES"), as incurred, arising out
of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of
prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or
supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (1) such
untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such
Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use
therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such
Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was
reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in
the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has
approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (2) in the case of an occurrence of
an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v) or a notice of
discontinuance under Section 3(d), the use by such Holder of an outdated or
defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that
the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder
of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d) to the extent that a supplemented or
amended Registration Statement or Prospectus delivered to such Holder would have
cured the disclosure causing such loss. The Company shall notify the Holders
promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the
Company is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(b) INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDERS. Each Holder shall, severally and not
jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers,
agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the
directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as
incurred, arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder's failure
to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in
reselling Registrable Securities or (y) any untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of
prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising solely out of
or based solely upon any omission of a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is
contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the
Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such
Prospectus or to the extent that (1) such untrue statements or omissions are
based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such
information relates to such Holder or such Holder's proposed method of
distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and
8
expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the
Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A
hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event
of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v) or a notice of discontinuance
under Section 3(d), the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective
Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the
Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of
the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d) to the extent that a supplemented or
amended Registration Statement or Prospectus delivered to such Holder would have
cured the disclosure causing such loss. In no event shall the liability of any
selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net
proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. If any Proceeding shall be
brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an
"INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person
from whom indemnity is sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") in writing, and the
Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all
fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that
the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement,
except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or
further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially
adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel
in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party
or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named
parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party
shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to
exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the
Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of
the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from
all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
9
All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees
and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or
preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this
Section) for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification
hereunder shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten
Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (including if
not yet ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification hereunder; PROVIDED, that the Indemnifying Party may require
such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to
the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d) CONTRIBUTION. If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b)
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or
otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission
or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to
information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or
payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable attorneys' or other
reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any
Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or
expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to
such party in accordance with its terms.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required
to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the
proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable
Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in
addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the
Indemnified Parties.
6. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) REMEDIES. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder,
of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as
the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by
law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this
10
Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not
provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by
it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in
the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it
shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) NO PIGGYBACK ON REGISTRATIONS. Except as and to the extent
specified in SCHEDULE 3.1(t) to Purchase Agreement, neither the Company nor any
of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant
hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement
other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date
hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security
holders. Except as and to the extent specified in SCHEDULE 3.1(t) to the
Purchase Agreement, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement
granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any
Person which have not been fully satisfied.
(c) COMPLIANCE. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply
with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to
it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Registration Statement.
(d) DISCONTINUED DISPOSITION. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of
such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of
the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c) or a notice of
discontinuance under Section 3(d), such Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until
such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or
amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the "ADVICE")
by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in
either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or
Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to
enforce the provisions of this paragraph.

ANNEX A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or
negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in
making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The
Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when
selling shares:
o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal
to facilitate the transaction;
o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its account;
o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
o privately negotiated transactions;
o short sales
o broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a
specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
o a combination of any such methods of sale; and
o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the Selling
Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or
other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the common stock in
the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Stockholders. The
Selling Stockholders may also sell the common stock short and redeliver the
shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Stockholders may also
enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions which require they delivery to such broker-dealer or other
financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as
18
supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Stockholder
may also from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of
the Shares or common stock or Warrant owned by them and, if they default in the
performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may
offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in
other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors
in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this
prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions
received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the
shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders have informed the
Company that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or
indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if
applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the
shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in
the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification
requirement is available and is complied with.
We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules
of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the
market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates.
In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling
Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of the
Nasdaq National Market pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act. The
Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the
registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling
Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
We have agreed with the Selling Stockholders to keep the registration
statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the
earlier of (i) the date which is two years after the date this registration
statement has been declared effective by the SEC, or (ii) such time as all of
the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of or could be disposed
of under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act.
