B. AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION RIGHT. Within 45 days
following the Effective Date (the "FILING Deadline"), the Company shall prepare
and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form SB-2 or other appropriate
registration document under the Act relating to the resale by the holders of the
Registrable Securities held by all holders, and all of the shares of Common
Stock, and Warrant Shares issued in the Offering (the "INITIAL REGISTRATION
SHARES"). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
such Registration Statement (the "INITIAL REGISTRATION STATEMENT") is declared
effective within 150 days of the Initial Closing Date (the "EFFECTIVENESS
DEADLINE"). The Company will agree to take all actions as are necessary to keep
the Initial Registration Statement effective until the date on which all
securities registered thereunder may be sold without any restriction, under Rule
144 during any 90-day period in accordance with all rules and regulations
regarding sales of securities pursuant to Rule 144 (the "EFFECTIVENESS PERIOD").
C. DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHT. If the Company receives at
any time after the date that is twelve (12) months from the Effective Date, a
written request (a "DEMAND REQUEST") from the Stockholders of a majority of the
outstanding Registrable Securities issued and outstanding at the time of such
Demand Request (the "MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS") who hold not less than 275,000
shares of Registrable Securities at the time of such Demand Request, that the
Company register any such Registrable Securities, then the Company shall, within
ten (10) days after receipt of such Demand Request, give written notice of such
request ("DEMAND REQUEST NOTICE") to all holders of Registrable Securities. Each
Demand Request Notice shall (x) specify the number of Registrable Securities
that the Majority Stockholders intend to sell or dispose of, (y) state the
intended method or methods of sale or disposition of such Registrable Securities
and, if applicable, (z) specify the expected price range (net of underwriting
discounts and commissions) acceptable to the Majority Stockholders to be
received for such Registrable Securities. Unless the Registration Statement
covers an underwritten offering, the Company will agree to take all actions as
are necessary to keep any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section
2.C. effective until the date on which all Registrable Securities thereunder may
be sold without any restriction, under Rule 144 during any 90-day period in
accordance with all rules and regulations regarding sales of securities pursuant
to Rule 144. Each Stockholder shall respond promptly and accurately to Company's
request at reasonable intervals regarding the amount of Registrable Securities
and any other securities of the Company then held by such Stockholder.
3
The Company shall file, no later than forty-five (45) days
following receipt of a Demand Request (the "DEMAND FILING DATE"), a Registration
Statement (the "DEMAND REGISTRATION Statement") covering such Registrable
Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Majority
Stockholders and any other holders of Registrable Securities who request, within
fifteen (15) days of the mailing of the Demand Request Notice, that the Company
register their Registrable Securities, providing for the registration under the
Securities Act of such Registrable Securities to the extent necessary to permit
the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended
method of distribution specified in such Demand Request, and use its
commercially reasonable efforts to have such Demand Registration Statement
declared effective by the SEC within one hundred fifty (150) days after the
Demand Filing Date. If a registration pursuant to this SECTION 2.C. involves an
underwritten public offering, any Stockholder requesting to be included in such
registration may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, not to
register such securities in connection with such registration.
The Company may delay making a filing of a Demand Registration
Statement in connection with a Demand Request or taking action in connection
therewith by not more than ninety (90) days if the Company provides a written
certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of
the Company to the Stockholders, prior to the time it would otherwise have been
required to file such Demand Registration Statement or take such action pursuant
to this SECTION 2.C., stating that the Board has determined in good faith that
the filing of such Demand Registration Statement would be seriously detrimental
to the Company or would otherwise materially adversely affect a financing,
acquisition, disposition, merger or other material transaction (collectively, a
"VALID BUSINESS REASON") and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing
of the Demand Registration Statement; provided, however, that such right to
delay a Demand Request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in
any twelve (12)-month period and the Company shall only have the right to delay
a Demand Request so long as such Valid Business Reason exists, and during such
time, the Company may not file a registration statement for securities to be
issued and sold for its own account or for that of anyone other than the
Stockholders.
The Company shall only be obligated to effect one (1) Demand
Request pursuant to this SECTION 2.C.
The Majority Stockholders shall have the right to cancel a
proposed registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this SECTION 2.C.
when the request for cancellation is based upon material adverse information
relating to the Company that is different from the information known to the
Majority Stockholders at the time of the Demand Request. Such cancellation of a
registration shall be made in writing and shall not be counted as a Demand
Request.
4
D. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION. If, at any time after the
date that is six (6) months from the Effective Date, the Company proposes to
register any of its securities under the Securities Act for sale to the public
for its own account or for the account of other security holders of the Company
(except with respect to the Initial Registration Statement, or registration
statements on Forms S-4 or S-8 or another form not available for registering the
Registrable Securities for sale to the public), each such time it will give
written notice thereof to the Stockholders of its intention so to do (such
notice to be given at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing thereof). Upon
the written request of any such Stockholder (which request shall specify the
number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Stockholder
and the intended method of disposition thereof), received by the Company within
ten (10) days after giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of
such Stockholder's Registrable Securities, the Company will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities as to which registration
shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by
the Registration Statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the
extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the Stockholder (in
accordance with its written request) of such Registrable Securities so
registered ("PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS"); provided, that if, at any time
after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities pursuant
to this SECTION 2.D. and prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall
determine for any reason not to register such securities, the Company shall give
written notice to all Stockholders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its
obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such
registration. If a registration pursuant to this SECTION 2.D. involves an
underwritten public offering, any Stockholder requesting to be included in such
registration may elect, in writing prior to the effective date of the
registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to
register such securities in connection with such registration. The foregoing
provisions notwithstanding, the Company may withdraw any registration statement
referred to in this SECTION 2.D. without thereby incurring any liability to the
Stockholders.
E. UNDERWRITING. If a Registration Statement is for a
registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so
advise the Stockholder(s) in writing or as a part of the written notice given
pursuant to SECTION 2.C or 2.D, as applicable. In such event the right of any
Stockholder to registration pursuant to SECTION 2.C. and/or 2.D shall be
conditioned upon such Stockholder's participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such Stockholder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to
the extent provided herein. All Stockholders proposing to distribute their
securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any
other stockholders of the Company distributing their securities through such
underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company or
selling stockholders, as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
SECTION 2, if the underwriter or the Company determines that marketing factors
require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriter
may exclude some or all Registrable Securities from such registration and
underwriting. The Company shall so advise all Stockholders (except those
Stockholders who failed to timely elect to distribute their Registrable
5
Securities through such underwriting or have indicated to the Company their
decision not to do so), and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that
may be included in the registration and underwriting, if any, shall be allocated
among such Stockholders as follows:
(i) In the event of a registration that is
initiated by the exercise of demand registration rights by the Majority
Stockholders, then the number of shares that may be included in the registration
and underwriting shall be allocated on a pro rata basis according to the number
of shares requested to be included by all Stockholders;
(ii) In the event of a registration that is
initiated by the Company, the number of shares that may be included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company and then,
subject to obligations and commitments existing as of the date hereof, to all
selling stockholders, including the Stockholder(s), who have requested to sell
in the registration on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares
requested to be included; and
(iii) In the event of a registration that is
initiated by the exercise of demand registration rights by a stockholder or
stockholders of the Company (other than the Stockholder(s)), then the number of
shares that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be
allocated first to such selling stockholders who exercised such demand and then,
subject to obligations and commitments existing as of the date hereof, to all
other selling stockholders, including the Stockholder(s), who have requested to
sell in the registration, on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares
requested to be included.
No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of
the underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included in such registration.
If any Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such
Stockholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and
the underwriter. The Registrable Securities and/or other securities so withdrawn
from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such registration; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, if by the withdrawal of such Registrable Securities a greater
number of Registrable Securities held by other Stockholders may be included in
such registration (up to the maximum of any limitation imposed by the
underwriters), then the Company shall offer to all Stockholders who have
included Registrable Securities in the registration the right to include
additional Registrable Securities pursuant to the terms and limitations set
forth herein in the same proportion used above in determining the underwriter
limitation.
F. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. In connection with the
registration obligations of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Company shall:
(i) Prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements and each related
Prospectus as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with
respect to the disposition of securities covered by such Registration
Statements;
6
(ii) Respond as promptly as reasonably
practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to a Registration
Statement or any amendment thereto.
(iii) Notify the Stockholders as promptly as
reasonably practicable and (if requested by any such person) confirm such notice
in writing no later than one trading day following the day (A) when a Prospectus
or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration
Statement is proposed to be filed and (B) with respect to a Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective;
(iv) Furnish such number of Prospectuses and
other documents incident thereto, including supplements and amendments, as the
Stockholder may reasonably request;
(v) Furnish to the Stockholder, upon request, a
copy of all documents filed with and all correspondence from or to the SEC in
connection with any such registration statement other than non-substantive cover
letters and the like;
(vi) Use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the
issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending
the effectiveness of a 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; and
(vii) Use its reasonable best efforts to comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof, the Company notifies a Stockholder whose shares are registered on a
Registration Statement (a "SELLING STOCKHOLDER") in writing of the existence of
an event or circumstance that is not disclosed in such Registration Statement
and that may have a material effect on the Company or its business (a "POTENTIAL
MATERIAL Event"), the Selling Stockholder shall not offer or sell any
Registrable Securities, or engage in any other transaction involving or relating
to the Registrable Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with
respect to a Potential Material Event until the Company notifies the Selling
Stockholder that such Potential Material Event either has been added to the
Registration Statement by amendment or supplement or no longer constitutes a
Potential Material Event; PROVIDED, that the Company may not so suspend the
right of a Selling Stockholder for more than One-Hundred Twenty (120) days
during any twelve (12) month period.
G. REGISTRATION EXPENSES.
(i) All expenses incident to the Company's
performance of, or compliance with, the provisions hereof, including without
limitation, all SEC and securities exchange or NASD registration and filing
fees, fees and expenses of
7
compliance with securities or "blue sky" laws (including fees and disbursements
of counsel in connection with "blue sky" qualifications of the Registrable
Securities), printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, internal
expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of the
Company's officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), fees
and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be
registered, if any, on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed, fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company and its independent certified public accountants (including the expense
of any special audit or "cold comfort" letters required by, or incident to, such
performance), Securities Act liability insurance (if the Company elects to
obtain such insurance), reasonable fees and expenses of any special experts
retained by the Company in connection with such registration, fees and expenses
of other Persons retained by the Company in connection with each registration
hereunder (but not including the fees and expense of legal counsel retained by a
Stockholder or Stockholders, or any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions
attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities) are herein called
"Registration Expenses."
(ii) The Company will pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with each Registration Statement filed pursuant to
SECTION 2 except as otherwise set forth therein. All expenses to be borne by the
Stockholders in connection with any Registration Statement filed pursuant to
SECTION 2 (including, without limitation, all underwriting fees, discounts or
commissions attributable to such sale of Registrable Securities) shall be borne
by the participating Stockholders pro rata in relation to the number of
Registrable Securities to be registered by each Stockholder.
H. INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION.
(i) INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY. The Company
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each
Stockholder, its officers, directors and each Person who controls such
Stockholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and any agent or
investment adviser thereof, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of investigation)
arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material
fact contained in any Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement
thereto, any Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or 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, except insofar as the
same arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission based
upon information with respect to such Stockholder furnished in writing to the
Company by or on behalf of such Stockholder expressly for use therein; PROVIDED
that, in the event that the Prospectus shall have been amended or supplemented
and copies thereof as so amended or supplemented, shall have been furnished to a
Stockholder prior to the confirmation of any sales of Registrable Securities,
such indemnity with respect to the Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of
such Stockholder if the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage or liability
and who purchased the Registrable Securities from such Stockholder did not, at
or prior to the confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to such
Person, receive a copy of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented and the
untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Prospectus was
corrected in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented.
8
(ii) INDEMNIFICATION BY STOCKHOLDERS OF
REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a
Stockholder is participating, each such Stockholder will furnish to the Company
in writing such information with respect to the name and address of such
Stockholder and such other information as may be reasonably required for use in
connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and agrees to
indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and
officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration
Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only
to the extent, that such untrue or alleged untrue statement relates to any
information with respect to such Stockholder so furnished in writing by such
Stockholder specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration
Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Stockholder shall not be liable in any
such case to the extent that prior to the filing of any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, such
Stockholder has furnished in writing to the Company information expressly for
use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto which corrected or made not misleading information previously
furnished to the Company. In no event shall the liability of any Selling
Stockholder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net
proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder upon the sale of the Registrable
Securities, sold under such Registration Statement or Prospectus as contemplated
herein, giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(iii) CONDUCT OF INDEMNIFICATION PROCEEDINGS. Any
Person entitled to indemnification hereunder agrees to give prompt written
notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such Person of any written
notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or
threat thereof made in writing for which such Person will claim indemnification
or contribution pursuant to the provisions hereof and, unless in the judgment of
counsel of such indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such
indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claim, permit
the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim. Whether or not such
defense is assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be
subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such
consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party will consent
to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or
litigation. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to,
assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel (plus such local counsel, if any, as may be
reasonably required in other jurisdictions) with respect to such claim, unless
in the judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with
respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated
to pay the
9
fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. For the purposes of
this Section 5(c), the term "conflict of interest" shall mean that there are one
or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party that are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or such other
indemnified parties, as applicable, which different or additional defenses make
joint representation inappropriate.
(iv) CONTRIBUTION. If the indemnification from
the indemnifying party provided for in this SECTION 2.H. is unavailable to an
indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the 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 in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in
connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties 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, has been
made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or
indemnified parties, and the parties intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by
a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
referred to above shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other fees
or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any
investigation or proceeding. 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.
(v) If indemnification is available under this
Section 2.H., the indemnifying parties shall indemnity each indemnified party to
the full extent provided in SECTIONS 2.H.(I) and 2.H.(II) without regard to the
relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party or any other
equitable consideration provided for in this SECTION 2.
I. LIMITATION TO REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT.
Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be
obligated to effect any registration of the Registrable Securities or take any
other action (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be
required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such
registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject
to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities
Exchange Act, or (ii) during any period in which the Company suspends the rights
of a subscriber after giving the Subscriber written notification of a Material
Event.
J. TRANSFER OF RIGHTS. The rights to cause the Company
to register Registrable Securities granted pursuant to the provisions hereof may
be transferred or assigned by any Stockholder to a transferee or assignee;
PROVIDED; HOWEVER, that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes the
obligations of such transferor or assignor, as the case may be, hereunder.
10
K. INFORMATION BY STOCKHOLDER. The Stockholder or
holders of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement shall
furnish to the Company such information regarding such Stockholder or
Stockholders and the distribution of securities by such Stockholder or
Stockholders as the Company may request in writing.
L. COMPLIANCE. Holder covenants and agrees that such
Stockholder will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Act as
applicable to such Stockholder in connection with sales of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statements required hereunder.
3. AMENDMENT. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions
hereof 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 at least a majority of the aggregate
number of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any amendment or waiver
effected in accordance with this SECTION 3 shall be binding upon each Holder
that is a party to this Agreement, and each future holder of Registrable
Securities and the Company.

Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective

agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements, term sheets, letters, discussions and
understandings of the parties in connection therewith.
