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). The
Company shall cause the Registration Statement to become effective and remain
2
effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial 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 no later than the Effectiveness Date. The
Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously
effective under the Securities Act until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all
Registrable Securities have been sold or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be sold immediately
without registration under the Securities Act and 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: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date; (ii) the
Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date; (iii)
after the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, the
Registration Statement ceases to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable
Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the
Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement
filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per
year (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared
effective) or more than 20 consecutive calendar days; or (iv) the Common Stock is not listed or
quoted, or is suspended from trading on any Trading Market for a period of three (3) consecutive
Trading Days (provided the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within
30 days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another Trading Market); (any such
failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) the date
on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 30 day or 20
consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iv) the date on
which such three (3) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then 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 1.0% for each thirty (30) day period (prorated
for partial periods) on a daily basis of the original principal amount of the Note. While such
Event continues, such liquidated damages shall be paid not less often than each thirty (30) days.
Any unpaid liquidated damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the Company shall be
paid within three (3) days following the date on which such Event has been cured by the Company.
3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof
to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company
will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement with respect to such
Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the
Commission, and use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become and remain
effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and promptly provide to the Purchaser
copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
3
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition
of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and to keep such Registration
Statement effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period;
(c) furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser reasonably may
request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement;
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Purchaser’s Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser may reasonably request, provided,
however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to
transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to
consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement with any Trading
Market on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
(f) immediately notify the Purchaser at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the
Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
light of the circumstances then existing; and
(g) make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by the Purchaser, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably
requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.
4. Registration Expenses. All expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2
and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses,
fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state
securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and
registrars, fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Holders, are called
“Registration Expenses”. All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities,
including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in
Registration Expenses, are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company shall only be responsible for
all Registration Expenses.
5. Indemnification.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the
4
Purchaser, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the
Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Purchaser, or such persons may become subject under the
Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities
were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or
final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the
Purchaser, and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with
information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically
for use in any such document.
(b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its
officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of
the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Company or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was
furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and such information is
contained in) the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each
such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided,
however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any such
document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be required to
indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by
the Purchaser in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under
the Securities Act.
(c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification hereunder (an
“Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if
a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to
indemnify such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall
5
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than under
this Section 5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such
Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) if and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced
by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it
shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense
thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the
Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense
thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section
5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the
defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall
pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the
defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available
to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the
interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and
to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such
participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability
under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or
controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5
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 5
provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be
required on the part of the Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the
Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in
each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such
proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage
that the public offering price of its securities offered by the Registration Statement bears to the
public offering price of all securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in
excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such
Fegistration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
6. Representations and Warranties.
(a) The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act and, except with respect to certain matters which the Company has disclosed to the
Purchaser on Schedule 4.21 to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has timely filed all
proxy statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and
6
other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. The Company has filed (i)
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and (ii) its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30,
2005 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in
substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports,
nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their
respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted 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. The financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other
applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a
consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such
financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to
the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Company and
its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC
Report.
(b) The Common Stock is listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange and satisfies all
requirements for the continuation of such listing. The Company has not received any notice that
its Common Stock will be delisted from the American Stock Exchange or that the Common Stock does
not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing.
(c) Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their
behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers
to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to
the Securities Purchase Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes
of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Common Stock pursuant to
Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval
provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps
that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.
(d) The Warrants, the Note and the shares of Common Stock which the Purchaser may acquire
pursuant to the Warrants and the Note are all restricted securities under the Securities Act as of
the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order
impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Registrable Securities at such time as such
Registrable Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from registration is
available, except as required by federal or state securities laws.
(e) The Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the
conversion of the Note and the exercise of the Warrant and recognizes that the issuance of such
Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges
that its obligation to issue the Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company
7
and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests
of other shareholders of the Company.
(f) Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that
has not been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form
required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, or described in the SEC Reports, the
breach of which could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company
and its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to
enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
(g) The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock for the full conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their
respective 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
Agreement.
(b) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule
7(b) hereto, 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 any Registration Statement
other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into
any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement to any
of its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the
Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect
to any of its securities to any Person that 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 a Discontinuation
Event (as defined below), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities under the applicable 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. For purposes of
this Section 7(d), a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the
Company whether there will be a
8
“review” of such 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); (ii) any request by the Commission or any other
Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any
stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the
Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) 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/or (v) the occurrence of any
event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such Registration
Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such 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 such Registration Statement, Prospectus or
other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or 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.
(e) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an
effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall
determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity
securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or
their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option
or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such
determination and, if within fifteen days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so
request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of
such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be registered to the extent the Company may do
so without violating registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this Agreement,
subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and
subject to obtaining any required the consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under
such registration statement.
(f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of
this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures
from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Company and the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that
relates exclusively to the rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly
affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the
provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with
the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.
