4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with the Company's obligation to
file a Registration Statement as provided in Section 3 hereof, the Company will
as expeditiously as possible:
(a) before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the Holders covered by
such Registration Statement a copy of all such documents proposed to be
filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holders,
and the Company will not file any Registration Statement or amendment
thereto or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto to which the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement shall reasonably object (provided that the
Company may assume, for the purposes of the foregoing that any Holder
has no objection if the Company has not received notice from such
Holder within five business days after delivery of such documents to
such Holder);
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such
supplements to the Prospectus, as may be required by the rules,
3
regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form
utilized by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and
regulations thereunder or otherwise necessary to keep the Registration
Statement effective for the applicable period and cause the Prospectus
as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act
with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with
the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in
such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;
(c) notify each Purchaser and the Holders promptly, and confirm
such advice in writing,
(1) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to
the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment,
when the same has become effective,
(2) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, and
(3) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification 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 Registration Statement at the
earliest possible moment;
(e) furnish, without charge, to each Purchaser and, upon
request, each Holder, at least one conformed copy of the Registration
Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by
reference and all exhibits (including those incorporated by reference);
(f) deliver to each Purchaser and each Holder without charge, as
many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus)
and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably
request; the Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto by each Purchaser and each Holder in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities
covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;
(g) use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with
or approved by such governmental agencies or authorities as may be
necessary to enable the Holders thereof to consummate the disposition
of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions as the Holders may
reasonably specify in response to inquiries to be made by the Company,
provided that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to
do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to
4
take any action which would subject it to general service of process in
any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;
(h) if any event shall occur as a result of which it is
necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, to amend or
supplement the Prospectus in order to make the Prospectus not
misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is
delivered by a Holder, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment
to the Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document
so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, the Prospectus will
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
(i) obtain a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities
(unless already obtained), not later than the Effective Date;
(j) make available for inspection during normal business hours
by a representative of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities and any attorney or accountant retained by such
representative, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's
officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably
requested by such Holders or any such attorney or accountant in
connection with the Registration Statement; provided that all such
records, information or documents shall be kept confidential by such
Persons unless disclosure of such records, information or documents is
required by court or administrative order or is generally available to
the public other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this
Section 4(j);
(k) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, and make generally available to its
security holders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act (in accordance with Rule 158
thereunder or otherwise), no later than 45 days after the end of the
12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning
with the first month of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing
after the Effective Date, which statements shall cover said 12-month
period;
(l) if at any time an event of the kind described in Section
4(h) shall occur, notify each Purchaser and the Holders that the use of
the Prospectus must be discontinued (the Company will not declare any
such "black-out" periods in excess of twenty business days during any
twelve month period, unless otherwise required); and
(m) on or prior to the date the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the SEC, cause all of the Underlying Common Stock
to be listed for trading on the Boston Stock Exchange (or on any other
national securities exchange) and the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
Each Holder as to which any registration is being effected
agrees, as a condition to the registration obligations with respect to
such Holder provided herein, to furnish to the Company such information
5
regarding the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the
Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.
Each Holder agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities
that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company described in Section
4(l), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable
Securities until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(f) hereof,
or until it is advised in writing by the Company (which notice the
Company shall give as promptly as possible), that the use of the
Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or
supplemental filings which are incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will
deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other
than permanent file copies then in such Holder's possession, of the
Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of
receipt of such notice.
5. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. All of the following expenses ("Registration
Expenses") incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this
Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether the Registration
Statement becomes effective:
(a) all registration, filing and listing fees;
(b) fees and expenses of counsel acceptable to the Holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities for compliance with
securities or blue sky laws;
(c) the Company's printing, messenger, telephone and delivery
expenses;
(d) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company;
(e) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public
accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit
necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act); and
(f) fees and expenses associated with any NASD filing required
to be made in connection with the Registration Statement.
The Company will, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to
be registered on the Boston Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.
6. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
(a) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, its officers, directors, employees and agents and
each Person who controls such Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person being
sometimes hereinafter referred to as an "Indemnified Holder") from and against
6
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
costs of investigation and legal expenses) arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided,
however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that
any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission thereof based upon information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder or its agent expressly for use therein; provided further,
that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in
the Prospectus, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, omission
or alleged omission was completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to
the Prospectus and if, having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the
Company with copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, such Holder
thereafter fails to deliver such Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, prior
to or concurrently with the sale of a Registrable Security to the person
asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense who purchased such
Registrable Security which is the subject thereof from such Holder. This
indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise
have.
If any action or proceeding (including any governmental investigation or
inquiry) shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Holder in respect
of which indemnity may be sought from the Company, such Indemnified Holder shall
promptly notify the Company in writing (but the omission to so notify the
Company shall not relieve it of any liability that it may have against any
Indemnified Holder otherwise than under this subsection), and the Company shall
assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Holder and the payment of all expenses.
Indemnified Holders shall have the right, collectively, to employ their own
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense of the Indemnified
Holders unless (a) the Company has agreed to pay such fees and expenses or (b)
the Company shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or proceeding
and have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Holders in any such action or proceeding or (c) the named parties to any such
action or proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include the Indemnified
Holders and the Company, and the Indemnified Holders shall have been advised by
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the
Indemnified Holders which are different from or additional to those available to
the Company (in which case, if the Indemnified Holders notify the Company in
writing that they elect to employ their own counsel at the expense of the
Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such
action or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Holders, it being understood,
however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or
proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or
proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations
or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any
time for the Indemnified Holders which firm shall be designated in writing by
the Indemnified Holders representing at least a majority of the aggregate
7
principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Securities). Any such fees and
expenses payable by the Company shall be paid to the Indemnified Holders
entitled thereto as incurred by the Indemnified Holders. The Company shall not
be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected without
its written consent, but if settled with its written consent, or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or proceeding, the Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Holders from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(b) INDEMNIFICATION BY HOLDER. Each Holder agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, its respective directors and officers and each Person, if
any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Holder, but only with respect to
information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by such Holder
expressly for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus. In case any action or
proceeding shall be brought against the Company or its respective directors or
officers or any such controlling person, in respect of which indemnity may be
sought against a Holder, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the
Company, and the Company or its respective directors or officers or such
controlling person shall have the rights and duties given to each holder by the
preceding paragraph. In no event shall the liability of any Holder hereunder be
greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Holder
upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
(c) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof
(other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then
each applicable 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, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, (i) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
the Company from the sale of the Units to each Purchaser pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement on the one hand and each Holder from the offering of the
Registrable Securities by such Holder, on the other hand, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on
the one hand and each Holder on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, as well
as the other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received
by the Company on the one hand and each Holder on the other shall be deemed to
be in the same proportion as the aggregate amount paid by each Purchaser to the
Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for the Registrable Securities
purchased by such Holder that were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement
bears to the difference (the "Difference") between the amount such Holder paid
for the Registrable Securities that were sold pursuant to the Registration
Statement and the amount received by such Holder from such sale. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
8
or the particular Holder and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(c) were to be determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable consideration referred to in the first sentence of this
Section 6(c). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this Section
6(c) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with investigation or defending against
any action or claim that is the subject of this Section 6(c). Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 6(c), each Holder shall not be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds
the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by
reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act), shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
7. RULE 144 AND RULE 144A. For so long as the Company is subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act, the Company
covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder. If the Company is not subject to the
reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act, the Company also
covenants that it will provide the information required pursuant to Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act upon the request of any Holder which
continue to be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3)
under the Securities Act and it will take such further action as any holder of
such Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required
from time to time to enable such holder to sell its Registrable Securities
without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the
exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may
be amended from time to time, so long as such provision does not require the
public filing of information relating to the Company which the Company is not
otherwise required to file, (b) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rule
may be amended from time to time, or (c) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the SEC that does not require the public filing of
information relating to the Company. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company
will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied
with such requirements.
8. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company will not on or after the date
of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to their securities
which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement
or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the
Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with
the rights granted to the holders of the Company's securities under any such
agreements.
(b) ADJUSTMENTS AFFECTING REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. The Company will not take
any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the Registrable
Securities which would adversely affect the ability of the Holders to include
9
such Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this
Agreement.
(c) 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 Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of
the Registrable Securities.
(d) NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents and other communications
hereunder shall be by telecopier, with a copy being mailed by a nationally
recognized overnight express courier, and shall be deemed given when receipt is
acknowledged by transmit confirmation report, and shall be delivered as
addressed as follows:

the Purchaser to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8(d) which address initially is as set forth at the head of
this Agreement;

the books of the transfer agent and registrar for the Registrable
Securities; and

the head of this Agreement and thereafter at such other addresses
notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8(d).
(e) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including
without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent
Holders.
(f) COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(g) HEADINGS. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
(h) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without reference to its
rules as to conflicts of law) and the federal law of the United States of
America.
(i) SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions
contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
10
(j) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final
expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of
the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises,
warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein
with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to
the securities sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with
respect to such subject matter.
(k) CALCULATION OF MAJORITY. For purposes of determining whether the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities have taken action pursuant
thereto, any Warrants then outstanding shall be deemed to have been converted
into Underlying Common Stock which shares shall be treated as outstanding for
purposes hereof.
9. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when
taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective
when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and
delivered to the other parties. Facsimile signatures are considered to be
originals and shall have the same effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchasers and Company have caused this Agreement
to be executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the day and year
first above written.
