Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain
registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute
(collectively, the "1933 Act"), and applicable state securities laws;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and each
of the Initial Investors hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
a. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
(i) "Investors" means the Initial Investors and any
transferee or assignee who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9 hereof.
(ii) "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to
a registration effected by preparing and filing a Registration Statement or
Statements in compliance with the 1933 Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the
1933 Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a
continuous basis ("Rule 415"), and the declaration or ordering of
effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
(iii) "Registrable Securities" means the Conversion Shares
issued or issuable upon conversion or otherwise pursuant to the Notes and
Additional Notes (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) including,
without limitation, Damages Shares (as defined in the Notes) issued or
issuable pursuant to the Notes, shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in
payment of the Standard Liquidated Damages Amount (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement), shares issued or issuable in respect of
interest or in redemption of the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof)
and Warrant Shares issuable, upon exercise or otherwise pursuant to the
Warrants and Additional Warrants (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement), and any shares of capital stock issued or issuable as a dividend
on or in exchange for or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing.
(iv) "Registration Statement" means a registration
statement of the Company under the 0000 Xxx.
b. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase
Agreement or the Convertible Note.
2. REGISTRATION.
a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, on
or prior to sixty (60) days from the date of Closing (as defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement) (the "Filing Date"), file with the SEC a
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on
such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a
registration of the Registrable Securities, subject to the consent of the
Initial Investors, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) covering
the resale of the Registrable Securities underlying the Notes and Warrants
issued or issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, which
Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state
that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of
additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of or
otherwise pursuant to the Notes and exercise of the Warrants to prevent
dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
The number of shares of Common Stock initially included in such Registration
Statement shall be no less than an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of
the number of Conversion Shares that are then issuable upon conversion of the
Notes and Additional Notes (based on the Variable Conversion Price as would
then be in effect and assuming the Variable Conversion Price is the Conversion
Price at such time), and the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants, without regard to any limitation on the
Investor's ability to convert the Notes or exercise the Warrants. The Company
acknowledges that the number of shares initially included in the Registration
Statement represents a good faith estimate of the maximum number of shares
issuable upon conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants. In
the event that this good faith estimate proves not to be correct due to a
change in the initial Conversion Price for the securities between the date
that the Company filed its last pre-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement (and any subsequent Registration Statement filed as required
hereunder to maintain a sufficient number of registered Authorized and
Reserved Shares) and the date on which any such Registration Statement is
declared effective by the SEC, then the Company shall, within five (5)
business days following notice of such effectiveness, file a post-effective
amendment with the SEC increasing the number of shares covered by such
Registration Statement to the applicable amount. Provided that the Company
meets its obligations under this Section 2(a) with respect to the filing of
any such post-effective amendment, the Company shall not be deemed to be in
default under any provision herein or in the Securities Purchase Agreement or
the Note by reason of such temporary shortfall in the number of registered
Authorized and Reserved Shares.
b. Underwritten Offering. If any offering pursuant to a
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof involves an
underwritten offering, the Investors who hold a majority in interest of the
Registrable Securities subject to such underwritten offering, with the consent
of a majority-in-interest of the Initial Investors, shall have the right to
select one legal counsel and an investment banker or bankers and manager or
managers to administer the offering, which investment banker or bankers or
manager or managers shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
c. Payments by the Company. The Company shall use its best
efforts to obtain effectiveness of the Registration Statement as soon as
practicable. If a) the Registration Statement(s) covering the Registrable
Securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof
is not filed by the Filing Date or declared effective by the SEC on or prior
to one hundred and fifty (150) days from the date of Closing (as defined in
the Securities Purchase Agreement), or b) after the Registration Statement has
been declared effective by the SEC, sales of all of the Registrable Securities
cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement, or c) the Common Stock
is not listed or included for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market
("Nasdaq"), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq SmallCap"), the New York Stock
Exchange (the "NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") after being
so listed or included for quotation, or d) the Common Stock ceases to be
traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") or any equivalent
replacement exchange prior to being listed or included for quotation on one of
the aforementioned markets, then the Company will make payments to the
Investors in such amounts and at such times as shall be determined pursuant to
this Section 2(c) as partial relief for the damages to the Investors by reason
of any such delay in or reduction of their ability to sell the Registrable
Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies
available at law or in equity). The Company shall pay to each holder of the
Notes or Registrable Securities an amount equal to the then outstanding
principal amount of the Notes (and, in the case of holders of Registrable
Securities, the principal amount of Notes from which such Registrable
Securities were converted) ("Outstanding Principal Amount"), multiplied by the
Applicable Percentage (as defined below) times the sum of: (i) the number of
months (prorated for partial months) after the Filing Date or the end of the
aforementioned one hundred and five (105) day period and prior to the date the
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, provided, however,
that there shall be excluded from such period any delays which are solely
attributable to changes required by the Investors in the Registration
Statement with respect to information relating to the Investors, including,
without limitation, changes to the plan of distribution, or to the failure of
the Investors to conduct their review of the Registration Statement pursuant
to Section 3(h) below in a reasonably prompt manner; (ii) the number of months
(prorated for partial months) that sales of all of the Registrable Securities
cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement after the Registration
Statement has been declared effective (including, without limitation, when
sales cannot be made by reason of the Company's failure to properly supplement
or amend the prospectus included therein in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, but excluding any days during an Allowed Delay (as defined in
Section 3(f)); and (iii) the number of months (prorated for partial months)
that the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the OTCBB,
Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX or that trading thereon is halted after
the Registration Statement has been declared effective. The term "Applicable
Percentage" means two hundredths (.02). (For example, if the Registration
Statement becomes effective one (1) month after the end of such ninety (90)
day period, the Company would pay $5,000 for each $250,000 of Outstanding
Principal Amount. If thereafter, sales could not be made pursuant to the
Registration Statement for an additional period of one (1) month, the Company
would pay an additional $5,000 for each $250,000 of Outstanding Principal
Amount.) Such amounts shall be paid in cash or, at the Company's option, in
shares of Common Stock priced at the Conversion Price (as defined in the
Notes) on such payment date.
d. Piggy-Back Registrations. Subject to the last sentence of
this Section 2(d), if at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration
Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall determine to file with the
SEC a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or
the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities
(other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 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 bona fide, employee benefit plans), the Company shall send to
each Investor who is entitled to registration rights under this Section 2(d)
written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after
the effective date of such notice, such Investor shall so request in writing,
the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of
the Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered, except
that if, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account
of the Company the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation
on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the
Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)' judgment, marketing or
other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public
distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such
Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities
with respect to which such Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as the
underwriter shall permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be
made pro rata among the Investors seeking to include Registrable Securities in
proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by
such Investors; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any
Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding
securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion of such
securities in such Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata
inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and provided, further, however,
that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion
of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other
securities having the right to include such securities in the Registration
Statement other than holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their
securities in such Registration Statement by reason of demand registration
rights, or of any contract commitment made in connection with the issuance of
the securities being registered and which commitment is the reason such
registration statement is being filed. No right to registration of
Registrable Securities under this Section 2(d) shall be construed to limit any
registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an offering in connection
with which an Investor is entitled to registration under this Section 2(d) is
an underwritten offering, then each Investor whose Registrable Securities are
included in such Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed by the
Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten
offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares
of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, the registration rights of the
Investors pursuant to this Section 2(d) shall only be available in the event
the Company fails to timely file, obtain effectiveness or maintain
effectiveness of any Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to Section
2(a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
e. Eligibility for Form X-0, XX-0 or S-1; Conversion to Form
S-3. The Company represents and warrants that it meets the requirements for
the use of Form X-0, XX-0 or S-1 for registration of the sale by the Initial
Investors and any other Investors of the Registrable Securities. The Company
agrees to file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the SEC in
a timely manner so as to remain eligible or become eligible, as the case may
be, and thereafter to maintain its eligibility, for the use of Form S-3. If
the Company is not currently eligible to use Form S-3, not later than five (5)
business days after the Company first meets the registration eligibility and
transaction requirements for the use of Form S-3 (or any successor form) for
registration of the offer and sale by the Initial Investors and any other
Investors of Registrable Securities, the Company shall file a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (or such successor form) with respect to the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or Form S-1,
whichever is applicable, filed pursuant to Section 2(a) (and include in such
Registration Statement on Form S-3 the information required by Rule 429 under
the 0000 Xxx) or convert the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or Form S-1,
whichever is applicable, filed pursuant to Section 2(a) to a Form S-3 pursuant
to Rule 429 under the 1933 Act and cause such Registration Statement (or such
amendment) to be declared effective no later than sixty (60) days after
filing. In the event of a breach by the Company of the provisions of this
Section 2(e), the Company will be required to make payments pursuant to
Section 2(c) hereof.
3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Company shall have the following obligations:
a. The Company shall prepare promptly, and file with the SEC not
later than the Filing Date, a Registration Statement with respect to the
number of Registrable Securities provided in Section 2(a), and thereafter use
its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to Registrable
Securities to become effective as soon as possible after such filing but in no
event later than one hundred and fifty (150) days from the date of Closing),
and keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all
times until such date as is the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the
Registrable Securities have been sold and (ii) the date on which the
Registrable Securities (in the opinion of counsel to the Initial Investors)
may be immediately sold to the public without registration or restriction
(including, without limitation, as to volume by each holder thereof) under the
1933 Act (the "Registration Period"), which Registration Statement (including
any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein)
shall not contain any 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 not misleading.
b. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the
Registration Statements and the prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statements as may be necessary to keep the Registration
Statements effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during
such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the
disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the
Registration Statements until such time as all of such Registrable Securities
have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition
by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in the Registration Statements.
In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement
filed pursuant to this Agreement is insufficient to cover all of the
Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Notes and
exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement,
or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if
applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities, in
each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event within xxxxxx (30) days
after the necessity therefor arises (based on the market price of the Common
Stock and other relevant factors on which the Company reasonably elects to
rely). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or
new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable
following the filing thereof, but in any event within thirty (30) days after
the date on which the Company reasonably first determines (or reasonably
should have determined) the need therefor. The provisions of Section 2(c)
above shall be applicable with respect to such obligation, with the ninety
(90) days running from the day the Company reasonably first determines (or
reasonably should have determined) the need therefor.
c. The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in a Registration Statement and its legal counsel a)
promptly (but in no event more than two (2) business days) after the same is
prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the
Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto,
each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement
thereto, and, in the case of the Registration Statement referred to in Section
2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the
staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of
the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any
portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has
sought confidential treatment), and b) promptly (but in no event more than two
(2) business days) after the Registration Statement is declared effective by
the SEC, such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other
documents as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor. The Company
will immediately notify each Investor by facsimile of the effectiveness of
each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment. The Company will
promptly (but in no event more than ten (10) business days) respond to any and
all comments received from the SEC (which comments shall promptly be made
available to the Investors upon request), with a view towards causing each
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by
the SEC as soon as practicable, shall promptly file an acceleration request as
soon as practicable (but in no event more than two (2) business days)
following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable,
following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any
amendment thereto will not be subject to review and shall promptly file with
the SEC a final prospectus as soon as practicable (but in no event more than
two (2) business days) following receipt by the Company from the SEC of an
order declaring the Registration Statement effective. In the event of a
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3(c), the Company will
be required to make payments pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof.
d. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to a) register and
qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements
under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions in the
United States as the Investors who hold a majority in interest of the
Registrable Securities being offered reasonably request, b) prepare and file
in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments)
and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary
to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, c) take
such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and
qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and d)
take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the
Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to e) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), f) subject itself
to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, g) file a general consent to
service of process in any such jurisdiction, h) provide any undertakings that
cause the Company undue expense or burden, or i) make any change in its
charter or bylaws, which in each case the Board of Directors of the Company
determines to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders.
e. In the event Investors who hold a majority-in-interest of the
Registrable Securities being offered in the offering (with the approval of a
majority-in-interest of the Initial Investors) select underwriters for the
offering, the Company shall enter into and perform its obligations under a
reasonably acceptable underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form,
including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution
obligations, with the underwriters of such offering.
f. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such
event, the Company shall notify each Investor of the happening of any event,
of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus
included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and use its best efforts promptly to prepare a supplement or amendment to any
Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and
deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor
as such Investor may reasonably request; provided that, for not more than ten
(10) consecutive trading days (or a total of not more than twenty (20) trading
days in any twelve (12) month period), the Company may delay the disclosure of
material non-public information concerning the Company (as well as prospectus
or Registration Statement updating) the disclosure of which at the time is
not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the
Company (an "Allowed Delay"); provided, further, that the Company shall
promptly a) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of (but in no
event, without the prior written consent of an Investor, shall the Company
disclose to such investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding)
material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay and b) advise
the Investors in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement
until the end of the Allowed Delay. Upon expiration of the Allowed Delay, the
Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of this Section 3(f) with
respect to the information giving rise thereto.
g. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the
issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any
Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the
withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify each
Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an
underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such
order and the resolution thereof.
h. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated
by the Initial Investors to review such Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration
or effectiveness thereof) a reasonable period of time prior to their filing
with the SEC, and not file any document in a form to which such counsel
reasonably objects and will not request acceleration of such Registration
Statement without prior notice to such counsel. The sections of such
Registration Statement covering information with respect to the Investors, the
Investor's beneficial ownership of securities of the Company or the Investors
intended method of disposition of Registrable Securities shall conform to the
information provided to the Company by each of the Investors. In no event
shall any failure to (or delay in) comment(ing) upon or consent(ing) to any
document provided to the Investors or their counsel in a timely manner (and in
any event within ten (10) days of their receipt of any such document) be
counted against the Company with respect to any failure or delay in performing
any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement
or the Note.
i. The Company shall make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practicable, but not later than ninety (90) days after the
close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying
with the provisions of Rule 158 under the 0000 Xxx) covering a twelve-month
period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter
next following the effective date of the Registration Statement.
j. At the request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish, on
the date that Registrable Securities are delivered to an underwriter, if any,
for sale in connection with any Registration Statement or, if such securities
are not being sold by an underwriter, on the date of effectiveness thereof a)
an opinion, dated as of such date, from counsel representing the Company for
purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is
customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and the Investors and b) a letter, dated such date, from
the Company's independent certified public accountants in form and substance
as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and the Investors.
k. The Company shall make available for inspection by a) any
Investor, b) any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a
Registration Statement, c) one firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants
or other agents retained by the Initial Investors at their expense, d) one
firm of attorneys and one firm of accountants or other agents retained by all
other Investors at their expense, and e) one firm of attorneys retained by all
such underwriters (collectively, the "Inspectors") all pertinent financial and
other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company, including without limitation, records of conversions by other holders
of convertible securities issued by the Company and the issuance of stock to
such holders pursuant to the conversions (collectively, the "Records"), as
shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector to enable each
Inspector to exercise its due diligence responsibility, and cause the
Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information which
any Inspector may reasonably request for purposes of such due diligence;
provided, however, that each Inspector shall hold in confidence and shall not
make any disclosure (except to an Investor) of any Record or other information
which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which
determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless f) the disclosure of such
Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any
Registration Statement, g) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to
a subpoena or other order from a court or government body of competent
jurisdiction, or h) the information in such Records has been made generally
available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any
other agreement. The Company shall not be required to disclose any
confidential information in such Records to any Inspector until and unless
such Inspector shall have entered into confidentiality agreements (in form and
substance satisfactory to the Company) with the Company with respect thereto,
substantially in the form of this Section 3(k). Each Investor agrees that it
shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a
court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means,
give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a
protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in
any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor)
shall be deemed to limit the Investor's ability to sell Registrable Securities
in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.
l. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any
disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company
unless a) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal
or state securities laws, b) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement,
c) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other
order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or d) such
information has been made generally available to the public other than by
disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees
that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an
Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to such Investor prior
to making such disclosure, and allow the Investor, at its expense, to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a
protective order for, such information.
m. The Company shall a) cause all the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each national securities
exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company
are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then
permitted under the rules of such exchange, or b) to the extent the securities
of the same class or series are not then listed on a national securities
exchange, secure the designation and quotation, of all the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement on Nasdaq or, if not eligible
for Nasdaq, on Nasdaq SmallCap or, if not eligible for Nasdaq or Nasdaq
SmallCap, on the OTCBB and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") as such with respect to such
Registrable Securities.
n. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar,
which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than
the effective date of the Registration Statement.
o. The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold
Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable
Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such
certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as
the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Investors may
reasonably request and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any, or the Investors may request, and, within three (3)
business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable
Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and
shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer
agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose
Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) an
instruction in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and an opinion of such
counsel in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
p. At the request of the holders of a majority-in-interest of
the Registrable Securities, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC
such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a
Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the
Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to change the plan of
distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.
q. From and after the date of this Agreement, other than in
connection with any securities issued under any transaction which is an
exception to the Capital Raising Limitation set forth in Section 4(e) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall not agree to,
allow the holders of any securities of the Company to include any of their
securities in any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof or any
amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof without the consent
of the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities.
r. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary
to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investors of Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTORS.
In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the
Investors shall have the following obligations:
a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the
Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the
Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of
the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to
effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such
documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably
request. At least three (3) business days prior to the first anticipated
filing date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each
Investor of the information the Company requires from each such Investor.
b. Each Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the
Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably
requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the
Registration Statements hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the
Company in writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such
Investor's Registrable Securities from the Registration Statements.
c. In the event Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the
Registrable Securities being registered (with the approval of the Initial
Investors) determine to engage the services of an underwriter, each Investor
agrees to enter into and perform such Investor's obligations under an
underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without
limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the
managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are
reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the
Registrable Securities, unless such Investor has notified the Company in
writing of such Investor's election to exclude all of such Investor's
Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
d. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from
the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(f) or 3(g), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such
Registrable Securities until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or 3(g) and,
if so directed by the Company, such Investor shall deliver to the Company (at
the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a
certificate of destruction) all copies in such Investor's possession, of the
prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt
of such notice.
e. No Investor may participate in any underwritten registration
hereunder unless such Investor a) agrees to sell such Investor's Registrable
Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in usual and
customary form entered into by the Company, b) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and
other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements, and c) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting
discounts and commissions and any expenses in excess of those payable by the
Company pursuant to Section 5 below.
f. Each Investor desiring to have Registrable Securities
included in any registration statement shall provide such undertakings,
representations and warranties about themselves and the manner of distribution
of the securities as the Company or its counsel may reasonably request. No
statement or information provided to the Company or its counsel pursuant to
this Section 4(f) shall contain any 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 not misleading.
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and
commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or
qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation,
all registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting
fees, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the
reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel selected by the Initial
Investors pursuant to Sections 2(b) and 3(h) hereof shall be borne by the
Company.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:
a. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify,
hold harmless and defend a) each Investor who holds such Registrable
Securities, b) the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents and each
person who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), if any, c) any
underwriter (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) for the Investors, and d) the
directors, officers, partners, employees and each person who controls any such
underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, if any (each,
an "Indemnified Person"), against any joint or several losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions,
proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, "Claims") to which any of
them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon:
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a
Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to
the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final
prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements
made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein
were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without
limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder
relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in
the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, "Violations").
Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6(c) with respect to the
number of legal counsel, the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Person,
promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any
reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of
or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person or
underwriter for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with
the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof
or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof; (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior
written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld; and (iii) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not
inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or
omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was
corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, such corrected prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof, and the Indemnified Person was
promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the
use giving rise to a Violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding
such advice, used it. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person
and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors
pursuant to Section 9.
b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an
Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees severally and not jointly
to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same
manner set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of
its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, any
underwriter and any other shareholder selling securities pursuant to the
Registration Statement or any of its directors or officers or any person who
controls such shareholder or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or
the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an
"Indemnified Party"), against any Claim to which any of them may become
subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim
arises out of or is based upon any Violation by such Investor, in each case to
the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration
Statement; and subject to Section 6(c) such Investor will reimburse any legal
or other expenses (promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and
payable) reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent
of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Agreement
(including this Section 6(b) and Section 7) for only that amount as does not
exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive
the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to
Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any
preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party
if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the
preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as
then amended or supplemented.
c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any
action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party
a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to
assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to
the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as
the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified
Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and
expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion
of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such
counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying
party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests
between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall
pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the
Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such legal counsel shall be selected
by Investors holding a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates (with the
approval of a majority-in-interest of the Initial Investors), if the Investors
are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is
entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The failure to deliver
written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the
commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of
any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this
Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required
by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof
during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss,
damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
7. CONTRIBUTION.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited
or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum
contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be
liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided,
however, that a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the
maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards
set forth in Section 6, b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000
Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable
Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and
c)contribution (together with any indemnification or other obligations under
this Agreement) by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in
amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of
such Registrable Securities.
8. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT.
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule
144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of
the SEC that may at any time permit the investors to sell securities of the
Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees
to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms
are understood and defined in Rule 144;
b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long
as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that
nothing herein shall limit the Company's obligations under Section 4(c) of the
Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns
Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a) a written statement by the
Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the
1933 Act and the 1934 Act, b) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly
report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company, and c) such other information as may be reasonably requested to
permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without
registration.
9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the
Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of Registrable Securities
if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to
assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company
within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a
reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written
notice of a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and b) the
securities with respect to which such registration rights are being
transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment, the
further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, (iv) at or
before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause
(ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the
Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein, (v) such
transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (vi) such transferee shall be an
"accredited investor" as that term defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D
promulgated under the 1933 Act.
10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company, each of the
Initial Investors (to the extent such Initial Investor still owns Registrable
Securities) and Investors who hold a majority interest of the Registrable
Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section
10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable
Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or
elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same
Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions,
notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable
Securities.
b. Any notices required or permitted to be given under the terms
hereof shall be sent by certified or registered mail (return receipt
requested) or delivered personally or by courier (including a recognized
overnight delivery service) or by facsimile and shall be effective five days

PREVAIL IN ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
ALL FEES AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES, INCURRED BY THE PREVAILING

e. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid
or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such
provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict
therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of
law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any
law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision

obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event
of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of any of the provisions under
this Agreement, that each Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies in law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties
