Investor Rights Agreement - Page 6
4. Required Registration.
(a) The Company shall make all reasonably practicable efforts to file,
within thirty (30) days of the Closing, a shelf registration statement with the
Commission relating to the offer and sale of the Restricted Stock by the
Investors from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution
elected by the Investors and set forth in such shelf registration statement, and
the Company shall make all reasonably practicable efforts to have such shelf
registration statement effective within 120 days after its filing with the
Commission. The Company shall make all reasonably practicable efforts to keep
such shelf registration statement continuously effective for two (2) years
following the expiration of the one (1) year lock-up described in the first
sentence of Section 15(f) hereof. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
issuance to the Investors of any shares of Common Stock as a dividend pursuant
to Article FOURTH, Section 2 of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, the Company shall file such amendments or supplements to such
shelf registration statement as are necessary to qualify such shares of Common
Stock for offer and sale by the Investors from time to time in accordance with
the methods of distribution elected by the Investors and set forth in such shelf
registration statement.
(b) The only securities which the Company shall be required to
register pursuant this Section 4 and Sections 5 and 6 hereto shall be shares of
Common Stock; provided, however, that, in any underwritten public offering
contemplated by this Section 4 or Sections 5 and 6, the holders of Series D
Preferred Shares shall be entitled to sell such Series D Preferred Shares to the
underwriters for conversion and sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion or exercise and conversion, as applicable, thereof. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no request may be made under this
Section 4 within 180 days after the effective date of any registration statement
on Form S-1 filed by the Company.
(c) The Company shall be entitled to include in any registration
statement referred to in this Section 4 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the
Company for its own account, except as and to the extent that, in the opinion of
the managing underwriter, if any, such inclusion would adversely affect the
marketing of the Restricted Stock to be sold. If in the opinion of the managing
underwriter, if any, the inclusion of all of the Restricted Stock requested to
be registered under this Section would adversely affect the marketing of such
shares, shares to be sold by the holders of Restricted Stock, if any, shall be
excluded only after any shares to be sold by the Company have been excluded and
in such manner that the shares to be sold shall be allocated among the selling
holders pro rata based on their ownership of Restricted Stock.
5. Incidental Registration. If the registration statement pursuant to
Section 3 is no longer current or effective, and the Company (other than
pursuant to Section 4 or Section 6) proposes to register any of its securities
under the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or
for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to
registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for
registering the Restricted Stock for sale to the public), each such time it will
give written notice to all holders of outstanding Restricted Stock of its
intention so to do. Upon the written request of any such
Investor Rights Agreement - Page 7
holder, received by the Company within 30 days after the giving of any such
notice by the Company, to register any of its Restricted Stock, the Company will
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Restricted Stock as to
which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities
to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company,
all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the
holder of such Restricted Stock so registered. In the event that any
registration pursuant to this Section 5 shall be, in whole or in part, an
underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the number of shares of Restricted
Stock to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced (pro rata among the
requesting holders based upon the number of shares of Restricted Stock owned by
such holders) if and to the extent that the managing underwriter shall be of the
opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the
securities to be sold by the Company therein, provided, however, that such
number of shares of Restricted Stock shall not be reduced if any shares are to
be included in such underwriting for the account of any person other than the
Company or requesting holders of Restricted Stock, and provided, further,
however, that in no event may less than twenty percent (20%) of the total number
of shares of Common Stock to be included in such underwriting be made available
for shares of Restricted Stock unless the managing underwriter shall in good
faith advise the holders proposing to distribute their securities through such
underwriting that such level of participation would, in its opinion, materially
adversely affect the offering price or its ability to complete the offering and
shall specify the number of shares of Restricted Stock which, in its opinion,
can be included in the registration and underwriting without such an effect.
6. Registration on Form S-2 or Form S-3.
(a) If the registration statement pursuant to Section 3 is no longer
current or effective and (i) a holder or holders of Restricted Stock request
that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-2 or Form S-3 or any
successors thereto for a public offering of all or any portion of the shares of
Restricted Stock held by such requesting holder or holders, provided that, the
reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of such offering must be at
least $500,000 and (ii) the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-2 or
Form S-3 or any successors thereto to register such shares, then the Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities
Act on Form S-2 or Form S-3 or any successors thereto, for public sale in
accordance with the method of disposition specified in such notice, the number
of shares of Restricted Stock specified in such notice.
(b) Following receipt of any notice under this Section 6, the Company
shall immediately notify all holders of Restricted Stock and Series D Preferred
Shares from whom notice has not been received and such holders shall then be
entitled within 30 days thereafter to request the Company to include in the
requested registration all or any portion of their shares of Restricted Stock.
The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the
Securities Act, for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition
described in paragraph (a) above, the number of shares of Restricted Stock
specified in such notice (and in all notices received by the Company from other
holders within 30 days after the giving of such notice by the Company).
Investor Rights Agreement - Page 8
(c) The Company shall be entitled to include in any registration
statement referred to in this Section 6 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the
Company for its own account, except as and to the extent that, in the opinion of
the managing underwriter, such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of
the Restricted Stock to be sold. No other shares may be included in such
registration statement. Except for registration statements on Form X-0, X-0 or
any successor thereto, the Company will not file with the Commission any other
registration statement with respect to its Common Stock, whether for its own
account or that of other shareholders, from the date of receipt of a notice from
requesting holders requesting sale pursuant to an underwritten offering pursuant
to this Section 6 until the completion of the period of distribution of the
registration contemplated thereby.
(d) If in the opinion of the managing underwriter the inclusion of all
of the Restricted Stock requested to be registered under this Section 6 would
adversely affect the marketing of such shares, shares to be sold by the holders
of Restricted Stock, if any, shall be excluded only after any shares to be sold
by the Company have been excluded, in such manner that the shares to be sold
shall be allocated among the selling holders pro rata based on their ownership
of Restricted Stock.
(e) If at the time of any request to register Restricted Stock
pursuant to this Section 6, the Company is engaged or has plans to engage in a
registered public offering or is engaged in any other activity which, in the
good faith determination of the Board of Directors, would be adversely affected
by the requested registration, then the Company may at its option direct that
such request be delayed for a period not in excess of 60 days from the date of
such request.
7. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the
provisions of Sections 4, 5 or 6 to use its commercially reasonable efforts to
effect the registration of any shares of Restricted Stock under the Securities
Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with
respect to such securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the
distribution contemplated thereby (determined as hereinafter provided);
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for

covered by such registration statement in accordance with the sellers' intended
method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
(c) furnish to each seller of Restricted Stock and to each underwriter
such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included

Investor Rights Agreement - Page 9
each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to
facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Restricted Stock covered
by such registration statement;
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the
Restricted Stock covered by such registration statement under the securities or
"blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers of Restricted Stock or, in
the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter reasonably
shall request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such
purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign
corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to
general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Restricted
Stock covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange or
automated quotation service on which the Common Stock of the Company is then
listed; provided, however, that if the Common Stock of the Company is not then

Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to list such Restricted
Stock with whatever quotation or reporting service with which the Common Stock
of the Company is then listed;
(f) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Restricted
Stock, not later than the effective date of such registration statement;
(g) immediately notify each seller of Restricted Stock and each
underwriter under such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the
happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which
the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect,
includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; provided, moreover,
that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and
furnish such amendments or supplements to such prospectus as may be necessary so
that, as thereafter delivered to purchases of such Restricted Stock, such
prospectus shall not include an 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 in light of the circumstances then existing;
(h) if the offering is underwritten and at the request of any seller
of Restricted Stock, use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish on the
date that Restricted Stock is delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to
such registration: (i) an opinion dated such date of counsel representing the
Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is
customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed
to the underwriters and to such seller, and (ii) a letter dated such date from
the independent certified public accountants retained by the Company, in form

and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller,
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration
statement. The rights granted pursuant to this subsection (h) may not be
assigned or otherwise conveyed by such person or by any subsequent transferee of
any such rights without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the Company may refuse such written
consent if the proposed transferee is a competitor of the Company as determined
by the Company's Board of Directors; and provided further, that no such written
consent shall be required if the transfer is made to a party who is not a
competitor of the Company and who is a parent, subsidiary, affiliate, partner or
group member of such person;
(j) advise each selling holder of Restricted Stock, promptly after it
shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop
order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration
statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose
and promptly use all reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop
order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;
(k) cooperate with the selling holders of Restricted Stock and the
managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates representing Restricted Stock to be sold, such certificates to
be in such denominations and registered in such names as such holders or the
managing underwriters may request at least two business days prior to any sale
of Restricted Stock; and
(l) permit any holder of Restricted Stock which holder, in the sole
and exclusive judgment, exercised in good faith, of such holder, might be deemed
to be a controlling person of the Company, to participate in good faith in the
preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the
insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the
reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included, subject
to review by the Company and its counsel after consultation with such holder.
For purposes of Section 7(a) and 7(b) and of Section 6(c), the period of
distribution of Restricted Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public
offering shall be deemed to extend until each underwriter has completed the
distribution of all securities purchased by it, and the period of distribution
of Restricted Stock in any other registration shall be deemed to extend until
the earlier of the sale of all Restricted Stock covered thereby and 120 days
after the effective date thereof; provided, however, that the period of
distribution with respect to the registration statement filed pursuant to
Section 4 shall be 2 years from the expiration of the one (1) year lockup
described in the first sentence of Section 15(f) hereof.
In connection with each registration hereunder, the sellers of Restricted
Stock will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to

Investor Rights Agreement - Page 11

or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
pertaining to such seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such
seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and
provided, further, however, that the liability of each seller hereunder shall be
limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the shares
sold by such seller under such registration statement bears to the total public
offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed
the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Restricted Stock
covered by such registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice
of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in
respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify
the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
such indemnified party other than under this Section 9 and shall only relieve it
from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this
Section 9 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party
and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
Investor Rights Agreement - Page 13
liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel
so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable
defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party
reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying
party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel
and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of
such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other
expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying
party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any holder of
Restricted Stock exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling
person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 9 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or
decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal
or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 9 provides for
indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may
be required on the part of any such selling holder or any such controlling
person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section
9; then, and in each such case, the Company and such holder will contribute to
the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be
subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such holder
is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public
offering price of its Restricted Stock offered by the registration statement
bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such
registration statement, and the Company is responsible for the remaining
portion; provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such holder will be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all
such Restricted Stock offered by it pursuant to such registration statement; and
(B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution
from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
10. Changes in Common Stock or Series D Preferred Stock. If, and as often
as, there is any change in the Common Stock or the Series D Preferred Stock by
way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or
through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any
other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so
that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the
Common Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock as so changed.
11. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of
certain rules and regulations of the Commission which, among other benefits, may
at any time permit the sale of the Restricted Stock to the public without
registration, at all times after 90 days after any registration statement
covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act
shall have become effective, the Company agrees to:
Investor Rights Agreement - Page 14
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act;
(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the
Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
(c) furnish to each holder of Restricted Stock forthwith upon request
a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of such Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a
copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such
other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may
reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the
Commission allowing such holder to sell any Restricted Stock without
registration.
12. Right of First Refusal
(a) Right of First Refusal. The Company shall not issue, sell or
exchange, agree or obligate itself to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set
aside for issuance, sale or exchange, any (i) shares of Common Stock, (ii) any
other equity security of the Company, including without limitation, Series D
Preferred Shares, (iii) any debt security of the Company (other than debt with
no equity feature) including without limitation, any debt security which by its
terms is convertible into or exchangeable for any equity security of the
Company, (iv) any security of the Company that is a combination of debt and
equity, or (v) any option, warrant or other right to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire any such equity security or any such debt security of the
Company, unless in each case the Company shall have first offered to sell such
securities (the "Offered Securities") to the Investors (each an "Offeree" and
collectively, the "Offerees") as follows: Each Offeree shall have the right to
purchase (x) that portion of the Offered Securities as the number of shares of
Series D Preferred Stock then held by such Offeree bears to the total number of
shares of Series D Preferred Stock held on such date by all Offerees (the "Basic
Amount"), and (y) such additional portion of the Offered Securities as such
Offeree shall indicate it will purchase should the other Offerees subscribe for
less than their Basic Amounts (the "Undersubscription Amount"), at a price and
on such other terms as shall have been specified by the Company in writing
delivered to such Offeree (the "Offer"), which Offer by its terms shall remain
open and irrevocable for a period of twenty-five (25) days from receipt of the
offer.
(b) Notice of Acceptance. Notice of each Offeree's intention to
accept, in whole or in part, any Offer made pursuant to Section 12(a) shall be
evidenced by a writing signed by such Offeree and delivered to the Company prior
to the end of the 25-day period of such offer, setting forth such of the
Offeree's Basic Amount as such Offeree elects to purchase and, if such Offeree
shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, such Undersubscription Amount
as such Offeree shall elect to purchase (the "Notice of Acceptance"). If the
Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Offerees are less than the total Offered
Securities, then each Offeree who has set forth Undersubscription Amounts in its
Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition
Investor Rights Agreement - Page 15
to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, all Undersubscription Amounts it has
subscribed for; provided, however, that should the Undersubscription Amounts
subscribed for exceed the difference between the Offered Securities and the
Basic Amounts subscribed for (the "Available Undersubscription Amount"), each
Offeree who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to
purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the
Undersubscription Amount subscribed for by such Offeree bears to the total
Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for by all Offerees, subject to rounding by
the Board of Directors to the extent it reasonably deems necessary.
(c) Conditions to Acceptances and Purchase.
(i) Permitted Sales of Refused Securities. In the event that
Notices of Acceptance are not given by the Offerees in respect of all the
Offered Securities, the Company shall have ninety (90) days from the expiration
of the period set forth in Section 12(a) to close the sale of all or any part of
such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by
the Offerees (the "Refused Securities") to the Person or Persons specified in
the Offer, but only for cash and otherwise in all respects upon terms and
conditions, including, without limitation, unit price and interest rates, which
are no more favorable, in the aggregate, to such other Person or Persons or less
favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer.
(ii) Reduction in Amount of Offered Securities. In the event the
Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such
sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 12(c)(i) above),
then each Offeree may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the
number of, or other units of the Offered Securities specified in its respective
Notices of Acceptance to an amount which shall be not less than the amount of
the Offered Securities which the Offeree elected to purchase pursuant to Section
12(b) multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the amount
of Offered Securities which the Company actually proposes to sell, and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the amount of all Offered Securities. In the event
that any Offeree so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities
specified in its respective Notices of Acceptance, the Company may not sell or
otherwise dispose of more than the reduced amount of the Offered Securities
until such securities have again been offered to the Offerees in accordance with
Section 12(a).
(iii) Closing. Upon the closing, which shall include full payment
to the Company, of the sale to such other Person or Persons of all or less than
all the Refused Securities, the Offerees shall purchase from the Company, and
the Company shall sell to the Offerees, the number of Offered Securities
specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 12(c)(ii)
if the Offerees have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the
Offer. The purchase by the Offerees of any Offered Securities is subject in all
cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Offerees
of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Offerees and their respective counsel.
(d) Further Sale. In each case, any Offered Securities not purchased
by the Offerees or other Person or Persons in accordance with Section 12(c) may
not be sold or
Investor Rights Agreement - Page 16
otherwise disposed of until they are again offered to the Offerees under the
procedures specified in Sections 12(a), 12(b) and 12(c).
(e) Waiver of Right of First Refusal. The rights of the Investors
pursuant to this Section 12 may be waived as to all of such Investors by the
affirmative vote or written consent of holders of at least a majority in
interest of the then outstanding Series D Preferred Stock, and any such waiver
shall be binding on all Investors, even if any of such Investors do not execute
such waiver and irrespective of whether one or more Investors participates in
the purchase of the Offered Securities.
(f) Exception. The rights of the Investors under this Section 12 shall
not apply to:

entity's stock or assets, if such acquisition is approved by the Board of
Directors (which approval shall include the affirmative vote or consent of at
least one of the directors nominated or designated by the holders of Series D
Preferred Stock),
(vi) any securities issued in connection with a line of credit or
similar bank facility financing with a traditional commercial lender, or a joint
venture, licensing, development, technology, equipment leasing, marketing or
similar customer or strategic relationship, provided that each such agreement or
relationship is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors and such
majority includes at least one of the directors nominated or designated by the
holders of Series D Preferred Stock, and
(vii) any warrants to purchase Common Stock issued in connection
with a bank loan or lease with a financial institution or the issuance of Common
Stock upon the exercise of any such warrant provided that such is approved by a
