1.2 The
Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree
of
risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company will likely
require substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b)
an
investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can
afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the
Company and the Shares; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its
investment; (d) transferability of the Shares is limited; (e) in the event
of a
disposition, the Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment;
and
(f) the Company may issue additional securities in the future which have rights
and preferences that are senior to those of the Common Stock. Without limiting
the generality of the representations set forth in Section 1.5 below, the
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has carefully reviewed the section
of
the Memorandum captioned “Risk Factors” as well as the exhibits to the
Memorandum that contain additional risk factors.
1.3 The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such
term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under
the Securities Act, as indicated by the Subscriber’s responses to the questions
contained in Article VII hereof, and that the Subscriber is able to bear the
economic risk of an investment in the Shares.
1.4 The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has
knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment
experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered
and/or not traded on a national securities exchange nor on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) automated quotation system
(“NASDAQ”), or the Subscriber has employed the services of a “purchaser
representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or
accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the
Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the
Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the
Subscriber’s behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature
of this investment; (c) the Subscriber is aware that the Company’s Common Stock
has been delisted from the American Stock Exchange (the “Amex”) and that the
appropriate steps are being taken to have the Common Stock included for
quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board but that there can be no assurance that
the
Common will be so included on an expedited basis, if at all; (d) the Subscriber
understands that the Shares are a less liquid investment as a result of the
delisting from the Amex; and (e) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic
risk that the Subscriber hereby assumes.
1.5 The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement,
the
Memorandum, including all exhibits thereto, all reports, schedules, forms
statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities
Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the twelve months
preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required
by
law to file such reports) (the foregoing materials being collectively referred
to herein as the “SEC Reports” and, together with the Agreement and the
Memorandum, and any documents which may have been made available upon request
as
reflected therein (collectively referred to as the “Offering Materials”) and
hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during
the course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the
terms
and conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the
Subscriber has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized
officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and
the
terms and conditions of the Offering.
2
1.6 (a) In
making
the decision to invest in the Shares the Subscriber has relied solely upon
the
information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials. To the extent
necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon
appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits
and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Shares hereunder.
The
Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided
by
any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an
investment in the Shares other than the Offering Materials.
(b) The
Subscriber represents that (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale
of the Shares by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof)
with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship
and
(ii) no Shares were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Subscriber
did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast
over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or
(B)
attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees
were
invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
1.7 The
Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber, either by reason of the
Subscriber’s business or financial experience or the business or financial
experience of the Subscriber’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with
and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the
Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s
own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated
hereby.
1.8 The
Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state
regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the
registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act, pursuant to
Regulation D. The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or “blue sky”
laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose
of
the Shares unless they are registered under the Securities Act and under any
applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or unless an exemption from such
registration is available.
1.9 The
Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the
Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the
Securities Act that depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment
intention. In this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the
Subscriber is purchasing the Shares for the Subscriber’s own account for
investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others.
The
Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the
purpose of purchasing the Shares.
3
1.10 The
Subscriber understands that, following the delisting from the Amex, the Common
Stock is not currently traded or quoted on any market and that there is no
market for the Common Stock until such time that it is included for quotation
on
the OTC Bulletin Board. The Subscriber understands that even if a public market
redevelops for the Common Stock, Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) promulgated under the
Securities Act requires for non-affiliates, among other conditions, a one-year
holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired
in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements
under the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges
that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Shares under
the
Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws other than as set
forth in Article V.
1.11 The
Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other
document evidencing the Shares that such Shares have not been registered under
the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth
or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained
in this Agreement. The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation
in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the
transferability of such Shares. The legend to be placed on each certificate
shall be in form substantially similar to the following:
“The
securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be sold, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of in the absence of (i) an effective
registration statement for such securities under said act or (ii) an opinion
of
company counsel that such registration is not required.”
1.12 The
Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and is hereby
given authority by the Subscriber to call Subscriber’s bank or place of
employment or otherwise review the financial standing of the Subscriber; and
it
is further agreed that the Company, at its sole discretion, reserves the
unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on the part
of
the Subscriber, to reject or limit any subscription, to accept subscriptions
for
fractional Shares and to close the Offering to the Subscriber at any time and
that the Company will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent
with respect to such Shares.
1.13 The
Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by
Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s principal residence
if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a
corporation or other entity.
1.14 The
Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority
(corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement
and
to purchase the Shares. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance
with its terms.
4
1.15 If
the
Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust,
employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Xxxxx Plan, or other
tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company
and
the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly
authorized by such entity to do so.
1.16 The
Subscriber acknowledges that if he or she is a Registered Representative of
an
NASD member firm, he or she must give such firm the notice required by the
NASD’s Rules of Fair Practice, receipt of which must be acknowledged by such
firm in Section 7.4 below.
1.17 The
Subscriber acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the Shares are registered
(as such term is defined in Article V hereof), sales of the Shares will be
subject to state securities laws.
1.18 (a) The
Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the
Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of
any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company’s
prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under
applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.
(b) The
Company agrees not to disclose the names, addresses or any other information
about the Subscribers, except as required by law; provided, that the Company
may
use the name of the Subscriber for any offering or in any registration statement
filed pursuant to Article V in which the Subscriber’s shares are
included.
1.19 The
Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, employees,
affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their respective heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against
all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of (a) any
sale
or distribution of the Shares by the Subscriber in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; or (b) any false
representation or warranty or any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply
with any covenant made by the Subscriber in this Agreement (including the
Confidential Investor Questionnaire contained in Article VII herein) or any
other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection
with this transaction.

REGISTRATION
RIGHTS
|
5.1 Definitions.
As used
in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following
meanings.
(a) The
term
“Closing Date” shall mean the earlier of: (i) the date on which subscriptions
for Shares totaling $2,000,000 shall have been received and accepted by the
Company, or (ii) May 31, 2007
(b) The
term
“Holder” shall mean any person owning or having the right to acquire Registrable
Securities or any permitted transferee of a Holder.
(c) The
terms
“register,” “registered” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by
preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance
with the Securities Act, and the declaration or order of effectiveness of such
registration statement or document.
(d) The
term
“Registrable Securities” shall mean the Shares; provided, however, that
securities shall only be treated as Registrable Securities if and only for
so
long as they (A) have not been disposed of pursuant to a registration statement
declared effective by the SEC; (B) have not been sold in a transaction exempt
from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act
so that all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends with respect thereto
are removed upon the consummation of such sale; (C) are held by a Holder or
a
permitted transferee of a Holder pursuant to Section 5.10; and (D) may not
be
disposed of under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act without restriction.
5.2 Required
Registration .
(a) As
promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than
thirty (30) days after the
Closing Date, the Company agrees to file a Registration Statement to register
the resale of all of the
Shares.
The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare
the Registration Statement effective no later than one hundred twenty (120)
days
following the Closing
Date (the "Registration
Deadline"). In
the
event that the Registration Statement has not been filed on or prior to the
Registration Deadline, then in addition
to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law,
for
each thirty
(30) day period (each, a "Liquidated
Damages Period') following
such Registration Deadline
until the date on which the Registration Statement is first filed or is no
longer required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall issue
to each Holder, as liquidated damages and
not
as a penalty,
warrants with a term of five (5) years and an exercise price of $2.00 per share
to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 2.5% of the number of shares of
Common Stock purchased by such Holder. Once the Registration
Statement has been declared effective, the Company shall thereafter maintain
the
effectiveness
of the Registration Statement until the earlier of: (i) such time as the Company
reasonably determines, based on the advice of counsel, that each Holder, acting
independently of all other Holders, will be eligible to sell under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act all of the Shares then
owned by such Holder within the volume limitations imposed by Rule 144(e) in
the
three (3)
month
period immediately following the termination of the effectiveness of the
Registration, or (ii) the date on which all of the Shares held by the Holders
are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities
Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that the
registration of any or all of the Shares by the Company on the Registration
Statement is prohibited (the “Non-Registered
Shares”)
under
Rule 415 in the opinion of the Commission, the liquidated damages described
in
this Section 5.2(a) shall not be applicable to such Non-Registered Shares,
in
which case the Company will file additional Registration Statements (each,
a
“Subsequent
Registration Statement”)
each
registering the Non-Registered Shares until all of the Registrable Securities
have been registered. The Filing Date and Effective Date of each such Subsequent
Registration Statement shall be, respectively, fourteen (14) and forty-five
(45)
days after the first day such Subsequent Registration Statement may be filed
without objection by the Commission under Rule 415. The Company’s failure to
meet the Filing Date and Effective Date as they relate to the Subsequent
Registration Statements shall subject it to all liquidated damage provisions
set
forth in this Section 5.2(a).
8
(b) If
the
total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by
stockholders to be included in a registration statement exceeds the amount
of
securities permitted to be sold under Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities
Act (“Rule 415”), then the Company shall be required to include in the offering
only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which
the
Company in its sole discretion determines will be permitted to be registered
without objection by the SEC under Rule 415 (the securities so included to
be
apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to the total
amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling
stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by
such
selling stockholders).
5.3 Registration
Procedures.
Whenever required under this Article V to include Registrable Securities in
a
Company registration statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as
reasonably possible:
(a) Use
best
efforts to (i) cause such registration statement to become effective, and (ii)
cause such registration statement to remain effective until the earliest to
occur of (A) such date as the sellers of Registrable Securities (the “Selling
Holders”) have completed the distribution described in the registration
statement and (B) such time that all of such Registrable Securities are no
longer, by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act, required to be
registered for the sale thereof by such Holders. The Company will also use
its
best efforts to, during the period that such registration statement is required
to be maintained hereunder, file such post-effective amendments and supplements
thereto as may be required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder or otherwise to ensure that the registration statement does not
contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein,
in
light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided,
however, that if applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the
obligation to file a post-effective amendment permits, in lieu of filing a
post-effective amendment that (i) includes any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (ii) reflects facts or events representing
a
material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement, the Company may incorporate by reference information required to
be
included in (i) and (ii) above to the extent such information is contained
in
periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
in
the registration statement.
9
(b) Prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration
statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration
statement, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.
(c) Make
available for inspection upon reasonable notice during the Company’s regular
business hours by each Selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any
distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by such Selling Holder or underwriter, 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 any such Selling Holder, underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement.
(d) Furnish
to the Selling Holders such numbers of copies of a final prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents
as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
Registrable Securities owned by them.
(e) Use
best
efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration
statement under such other federal or state securities laws of such
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Selling Holders; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or
as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company
is
already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required
by
the Securities Act.
(f) In
the
event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its
obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with
the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Selling Holder participating
in
such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such
an agreement.
(g) Notify
each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement,
at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, (i) when the registration statement or any post-effective
amendment and supplement thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance
by
the SEC of any stop order or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose
(in
which event the Company shall make every effort to obtain the withdrawal of
any
order suspending effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest
possible time or prevent the entry thereof); (iii) 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 of any
proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of the happening of any event as a result
of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing.
10
(h) Cause
all
such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be listed on each securities
exchange or quotation service on which similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed or quoted or, if no such similar securities are listed or quoted
on a securities exchange or quotation service, apply for qualification and
use
best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities for inclusion on the New
York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or listing on a quotation system
of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(i) Cooperate
with the Selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable
Securities to be sold, which certificates will not bear any restrictive legends;
and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and
registered in such names as the managing underwriters, if any, shall request
at
least five business days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities to
the
underwriters.
(j) In
connection with an underwritten offering, cause the officers of the Company
to
provide reasonable assistance in the preparation of, any “road show”
presentation to potential investors as the managing underwriter may determine.
(k) Comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally
available to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar
rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than 50 calendar days after
the end of any 3-month period (or 105 calendar days after the end of any
12-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end
of
any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters
in a
firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering, and (ii) if not sold
to
underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first
fiscal quarter of the Company, after the effective date of a registration
statement, which statements shall cover said period.
(l) If
the
offering is underwritten and at the request of any Selling Holder, use its
best
efforts to furnish on the date that Registrable Securities are delivered to
the
underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration: (i) opinions dated such
date of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration,
addressed to the underwriters and the transfer agent for the Registrable
Securities so delivered, respectively, to the effect that such registration
statement has become effective under the Securities Act and such Registrable
Securities are freely tradable, and covering such other matters as are
customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel delivered to underwriters
and transfer agents in underwritten public offerings and (ii) a letter dated
such date from the independent public accountants who have certified the
financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement
or

letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings.
11
5.4 Furnish
Information.
It
shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take any
action pursuant to this Article V with respect to the Registrable Securities
of
any Selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder,
and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably
required by the Company to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities.
5.5 Registration
Expenses.
The
Company shall bear and pay all registration expenses incurred in connection
with
any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect
to registrations hereto for each Holder, but excluding underwriting discounts
and commissions relating to Registrable Securities and excluding any
professional fees or costs of accounting, financial or legal advisors to any
of
the Holders.
5.6 Underwriting
Requirements.
In
connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the
Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required to include any of the
Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless they accept the
terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the
underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the
underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine
in
their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the
Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities,
requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount
of
securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in
their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then
the
Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such
securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine
in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the
securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders
according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein
owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually
be agreed to by such selling stockholders). For purposes of the preceding
parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder who is
a
holder of Registrable Securities and is a partnership or corporation, the
partners, retired partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates
and
family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for
the
benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling
stockholder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling
stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying
registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such
“selling stockholder,” as defined in this sentence.
5.7 Delay
of Registration.
No
Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or
otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that
might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this
Article.
12
5.8 Indemnification.
In the
event that any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement
under this Article V:
(a) To
the
extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder
and
each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages,
or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the
Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
any
of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
“Violation”): (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in such
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission
to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the
Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, and the Company
will
pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.8(a)
shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of
the
Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the
Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation
which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder,
underwriter or controlling person.
(b) To
the
extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any
underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement
and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against
any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of
the
foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, or the Exchange
Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, 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 by such Holder expressly
for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay,
as
incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended
to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;
provided,
however,
that
the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.8(b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided,
further,
that, in
no event shall any indemnity under this Section 5.8(b) exceed the greater of
the
cash value of the (i) gross proceeds from the Offering received by such Holder
or (ii) such Holder’s investment pursuant to this Agreement as set forth on the
signature page attached hereto.
13
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5.8 of notice of the
commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any
indemnifying party under this Section 5.8, 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 notified, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved
by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other
indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel)
shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses
to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified
party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party
and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time
of
the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend
such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 5.8, but the omission so to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that
it
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section
5.8.
(d) If
the
indemnification provided for in this Section 5.8 is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any
loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one
hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of
the
indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party
and
the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportSharey
to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and
contribution contained in an underwriting agreement entered into in connection
with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing
provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall
control.
(f) The
obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5.8 shall survive
the
completion or termination of the Offering.
5.9 Reports
Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
With a
view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other
rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to
a
registration on Form S-3 (or other applicable form), the Company agrees
to:
(a) file
with
the SEC all reports and other documents required of the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
14
(b) furnish
to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith
upon request (i) 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 (ii)
such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder
of
any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such
securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
5.10 Permitted
Transferees.
The
rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the
Holders by the Company under this Article V may be assigned in full by a Holder
in connection with a transfer by such Holder of its Registrable Securities
if:
(a) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company; (b) such
transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
(c) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement; and
(d) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with applicable
securities laws. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 5.10, the
rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein
shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall
cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.
5.11 Termination
of Registration Rights
The
right of any Holder to request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section
5.3 shall terminate if all shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder
may immediately be sold under Rule 144(k).
VI.
|
ADDITIONAL
RIGHTS
|
6.1 Right
of First Refusal.
Until
270 days from the Closing Date, the Subscriber shall be given not less than
ten
(10) Business Days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company
of
its Common Stock or other equity securities, except in connection with (i)
full
or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition,
consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets
of
corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not
at
any time granted registration rights, (ii)
the
Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements
and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the
purpose of raising capital and which
holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration
rights,
or
(iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of
options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to stock option plans and employee
stock purchase plans at prices equal to or higher than the closing price of
the
Common Stock on the issue date of any of the foregoing (each, an “Exempt
Issuance”).
The
Subscriber who exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall have
the
right during the ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the notice to
purchase such offered Common Stock, debt or other securities in accordance
with
the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale in the same proportion

notice of such modification and shall have the right during the ten (10)
Business Days following the notice of modification to exercise such right.

15
6.2 Participation
in Future Financing.
(a) From
the
date hereof until the date that is the 9 month anniversary of the Closing Date,
upon any issuance by the Company of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for
cash consideration (a “Subsequent
Financing”),
the
Subscriber shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the
Subsequent Financing equal to 100% of the Subsequent Financing (the
“Participation
Maximum”)
on the
same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent
Financing.
(b) At
least
5 Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company
shall deliver to each Subscriber in the Offering a written notice of its
intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”),
which
Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such
financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent
Financing Notice”).
Upon the request of the Subscriber, and only upon a request by the Subscriber,
for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later
than
1 Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to
such
Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable
detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds
intended to be raised thereunder, the Person or Persons through or with whom
such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, and attached to which

thereto.
(c) Any
Subscriber desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide
written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time)
on the 5th
Trading
Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice that the Purchaser
is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the
Purchaser’s participation, and that the Subscriber has such funds ready,
willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent
Financing Notice. If the Company receives no notice from a Subscriber as of
such
5th
Trading
Day, such Subscriber shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does

may effect the Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Subscribers set

(e) If
by
5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 5th
Trading
Day after all of the Subscribers have received the Pre-Notice, the Company
receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Subscribers seeking
to
purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each
such
Subscriber shall have the right to purchase the greater of (a) their Pro Rata
Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum and (b) the difference
between the Participation Maximum and the aggregate amount of participation
by
all other Purchasers. “Pro
Rata Portion”

the
ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Securities purchased on the Closing
Date
by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.13 and (y) the sum of the
aggregate Subscription Amounts of Securities purchased on the Closing Date
by
all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.13.

Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms
set
forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 60 Trading Days after the
