REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of March
30, 2005, is by and between TAG ENTERTAINMENT CORP., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and SATELLITE STRATEGIC FINANCE ASSOCIATES, LLC (the "Investor").
A. The Company has agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2005 (the
"Securities Purchase Agreement"), to issue and sell to the Investor a Senior
Secured Note and a Warrant (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).
B. The Warrant is exercisable into shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant
Shares") in accordance with its terms.
C. In order to induce the Investor to enter into the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and under
applicable state securities laws.
In consideration of the Investor entering into the Securities Purchase
Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings
specified:
"Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day
on which the Commission or commercial banks located in New York City are
authorized or permitted by law to close.
"Commission" means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"Effective Date" means the date on which the Registration Statement is
declared effective by the Commission.
"Filing Deadline" means the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following
the Closing Date.
"Holder" means any person owning or having the right to acquire,
through exercise of the Warrant or otherwise, Registrable Securities,
including initially the Investor and thereafter any permitted assignee
thereof.
"Registrable Securities" means the Warrant Shares and any other shares
of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, and any
shares of capital stock issued or
issuable from time to time (with any adjustments) in replacement of, in
exchange for or otherwise in respect of the Warrant Shares.
"Registration Deadline" means the earlier of (i) the one hundred
twentieth (120th) calendar day following the Closing Date and (ii) the
fifth (5th) Business Day after which the Commission informs the Company
that it will undertake no review of, or has no further comments with
respect to, the Registration Statement; provided, however, that if the
staff of the Commission undertakes a review of the Registration Statement
that results in substantial comments by such staff to the Registration
Statement, then the Registration Deadline shall be the one hundred fiftieth
(150th) calendar day following the Closing Date.
"Registration Period" has the meaning set forth in paragraph 2(b)
below.
"Registration Statement" means a registration statement or statements
prepared in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act ("Rule 415") or any successor rule providing for
the offering of securities on a continuous or delayed basis.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
2. REGISTRATION.
(a) Registration Statement. On or before the Filing Deadline, the Company
shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act covering the resale of a number of
shares of Registrable Securities equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%)
the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (based on the
Exercise Price in effect on the date of such filing), without regard to any
restriction on the ability of any Holder to exercise such Holder's Warrant as of
such date. Such Registration Statement shall state, to the extent permitted by
Rule 416 under the Securities Act, that it also covers such indeterminate number
of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon the exercise of
the Warrant in order to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock
dividends or similar events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company does
not meet the eligibility requirements for filing a Registration Statement on
Form S-3, then the Company shall instead prepare and file with the Commission a
Registration Statement meeting the foregoing requirements of Form X-0, Xxxx X-0
or Form SB-2, and in such event, the Company shall re-file such Registration
Statement, or file a new Registration Statement covering at least the number of
shares then registered on the existing Registration Statement (and not
previously sold pursuant to the existing Registration Statement or pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act ("Rule 144")), on Form S-3 as promptly as
practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days) after the Company
meets the eligibility requirements to use Form S-3 for the resale of Registrable
Securities by the Holder.
(b) Effectiveness. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the
filing thereof, but in no event later than the Registration Deadline. The
Company shall respond promptly to any and all
2
comments made by the staff of the Commission on the Registration Statement, and
shall submit to the Commission, within two (2) Business Days after the Company
learns that no review of the Registration Statement will be made by the staff of
the Commission or that the staff of the Commission has no further comments on
the Registration Statement, as the case may be, a request for acceleration of
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to a time and date not later
than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. The Company
will maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until the earlier
to occur of (i) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities eligible for
resale thereunder have been publicly sold pursuant to either the Registration
Statement or Rule 144 and (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable
Securities remaining to be sold under the Registration Statement (in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company) may be immediately sold to the
public under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act ("Rule 144(k)") or any
successor provision (the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the
earlier to occur of (i) or (ii) above being referred to herein as the
"Registration Period").
(c) Registration Default. If (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on
or before the Filing Deadline or declared effective by the Commission on or
before the Registration Deadline, (ii) after the Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the Commission, sales of Registrable Securities cannot be
made by a Holder under the Registration Statement for any reason not within the
exclusive control of such Holder (other than such Registrable Securities as are
then freely saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k)), (iii) the Common Stock ceases to
be quoted on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board unless such Common Stock is listed on
the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or the New York Stock
Exchange, or (iv) an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or a
new registration statement, required to be filed pursuant to the terms of
paragraph 2(a) above or 4(k) below is not filed on or before the date required
by such paragraph (each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being
referred to herein as a "Registration Default"), the Company shall make cash
payments to each Holder equal to such Holder's pro rata share (based on the
aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by or issuable to such Holder as
of the Registration Deadline) of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each thirty
(30) day period or part thereof in which a Registration Default exists. Each
such payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days following the last day
of each calendar month in which a Registration Default existed. Any such payment
shall be in addition to any other remedies available to each Holder at law or in
equity, whether pursuant to the terms hereof, the Securities Purchase Agreement,
or otherwise.
(d) Allocation of Warrant Shares. The initial number of Warrant Shares
included in any Registration Statement and each increase in the number thereof
included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the
aggregate number of Registrable Securities issuable to each Holder at the time
the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable
Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the Commission (such
number to be determined using the Exercise Price in effect at such time and
without regard to any restriction on the ability of a Holder to exercise such
Holder's Warrant as of such date). In the event that a Holder sells or otherwise
transfers any of such Holder's Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be
allocated the portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement allocable to the transferor.
3
(e) Registration of Other Securities. During the period beginning on the
date hereof and ending on the Effective Date, the Company shall, except as
described in Schedule 3.12 to the Securities Purchase Agreement, refrain from
filing any registration statement (other than (i) a Registration Statement filed
hereunder, or (ii) a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to stock
option plans and agreements and stock plans currently in effect and disclosed in
the Securities Purchase Agreement or the schedules thereto). In no event shall
the Company include any securities other than the Registrable Securities on any
Registration Statement filed by the Company on behalf of the Holders pursuant to
the terms hereof, except that the Company may include securities on such
Registration Statements to the extent that the Company is required to do so
pursuant to registration rights that are outstanding on date hereof and
disclosed on Schedule 3.12 to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION.
If at any time prior to the expiration of the Registration Period, (i) the
Company proposes to register shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act in
connection with the public offering of such shares for cash (a "Proposed
Registration") other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or
any successor or other forms promulgated for similar purposes and (ii) a
Registration Statement covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities is
not then effective and available for sales thereof by the Holders, the Company
shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such Proposed
Registration. Each Holder shall have ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of
such notice to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the amount of
Registrable Securities that such Holder intends to sell and such Holder's
intended method of distribution. Upon receipt of such request, the Company shall
use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities which the Company has
been requested to register to be registered under the Securities Act to the
extent necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with
the intended methods of distribution specified in the request of such Holder;
provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw
any registration effected pursuant to this Section 3 without obligation to the
Holders. If, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account
of the Company or for stockholders of the Company that have contractual rights
to require the Company to register shares of Common Stock, the managing
underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of
Common Stock which may be included in a registration statement because, in the
judgment of such underwriter(s), marketing or other factors dictate such
limitation is necessary to facilitate such offering, then the Company shall be
obligated to include in the registration statement only such limited portion of
the Registrable Securities with respect to which each Holder has requested
inclusion hereunder as such underwriter(s) shall permit. Any exclusion of
Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders seeking to
include Registrable Securities in a registration statement, in proportion to the
number of Registrable Securities sought to be included by such Holders;
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 the registration
statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable
Securities; and provided, further, 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.
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
4
In addition to performing its obligations hereunder, including without
limitation those pursuant to Section 2 above, the Company shall, with respect to
the Registration Statement:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection
with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act or to maintain the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement during the Registration Period, or as may be reasonably
requested by a Holder in order to incorporate information concerning such Holder
or such Holder's intended method of distribution;
(b) promptly following the Closing, cause the Registrable Securities
to be eligible for quotation on the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board and provide each
Holder with reasonable evidence thereof, and use commercially reasonable efforts
to secure the listing of the Common Stock, including all Registrable Securities,
on the Nasdaq National Market System or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market as soon as
practicable following the Company's eligibility to list the Common Stock on such
market or markets;
(c) furnish to each Holder such number of copies of the prospectus
included in the Registration Statement, including a preliminary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents
as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of
such Holder's Registrable Securities;
(d) use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as shall be reasonably requested from
time to time by a Holder, and do any and all other acts or things which may be
necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the public sale or
other disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided
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 jurisdiction;
(e) in the event of an underwritten public offering of the Registrable
Securities, enter into (together with all Holders proposing to distribute
Registrable Securities through such underwriting) and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form reasonably
acceptable to the Company, with the managing underwriter of such offering;
(f) notify each Holder immediately after becoming aware of the
occurrence of any event (but shall not, without the prior written consent of
such Holder, disclose to such Holder any facts or circumstances constituting
material non-public information) as a result of which the prospectus included in
the Registration Statement, as then in effect, contains an untrue statement of
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, and as promptly as practicable prepare and file
with the Commission and furnish to each Holder a reasonable number of copies of
a supplement or an amendment to such prospectus as may be necessary so that such
prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to
state a material fact
5
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
(g) use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of
any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at
the earliest possible time and to notify each Holder of the issuance of such
order and the resolution thereof;
(h) furnish to each Holder, on the date that the Registration
Statement, or any successor registration statement, becomes effective, (x) a
letter, dated such date, of outside counsel representing the Company (which
counsel shall be either the counsel identified in Section 8(c) hereof or such
other outside counsel that is reasonably acceptable to such Holder) addressed to
such Holder, confirming such effectiveness and, to the knowledge of such
counsel, the absence of any stop order, and (y) in the case of an underwriting,
(A) a copy of an opinion, dated such date, of such outside counsel, in such form
and substance as is required to be given to the underwriters, and (B) a letter
addressed to such Holder, dated such date, from the Company's independent
certified public accountants, in such form and substance as is required to be
given by the Company's independent certified public accountants to such
underwriters;
(i) provide to each Holder and its representatives the reasonable
opportunity to conduct a reasonable inquiry of the Company's financial and other
records during normal business hours and make available its officers, directors
and employees for questions regarding information which such Holder may
reasonably request in order to fulfill any due diligence obligation on its part;
(j) permit counsel for each Holder to review the Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, and any comments made by
the staff of the Commission concerning such Holder and/or the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company's responses thereto,
within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing thereof with the
Commission (or, in the case of comments made by the staff of the Commission,
within a reasonable period of time following the receipt thereof by the
Company); provided, however, that if copies of the foregoing are provided to the
Holder on a timely basis, then to the extent that any delays in filing the
Registration Statement or in the effectiveness thereof are caused by the failure
of an Holder to comment thereon in a timely manner, such delay shall not be
deemed to be a Registration Default; and
(k) in the event that, at any time, the number of shares available
under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover the sum of (A) one
hundred ten percent (110%) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise
in full of the Warrant (based on the Exercise Price in effect on the date of
such filing), without regard to any restriction on the ability of any Holder to
exercise such Holder's Warrant as of such date, plus (B) one hundred percent
(100%) of the Warrant Shares then outstanding, the Company shall promptly amend
the Registration Statement or file a new registration statement, in any event as
soon as practicable, but not later than the tenth (10th) day following notice
from a Holder of the occurrence of such event, so that the Registration
Statement or such new registration statement, or both, covers no less than the
sum of (A) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise in full of the outstanding
6
Warrant (based on the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such filing),
without regard to any restriction on the ability of any Holder to exercise such
Holder's Warrant as of such date, plus (B) one hundred percent (100%) of the
Warrant Shares then outstanding. 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. Any Registration Statement filed
pursuant to this paragraph 4(k) shall state that, to the extent permitted by
Rule 416 under the Securities Act, such Registration Statement also covers such
indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant in order to prevent dilution resulting from stock
splits, stock dividends or similar events. Unless and until such amendment or
new Registration Statement becomes effective, each Holder shall have the rights
described in paragraph 2(c) above.
5. OBLIGATIONS OF EACH HOLDER.
In connection with the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to a
Registration Statement, each Holder shall:
(a) timely furnish to the Company in writing such information
regarding itself and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable
Securities as the Company shall reasonably request in order to effect the
registration thereof;
(b) upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind described in paragraphs 4(f) or 4(g), immediately
discontinue any sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement until the filing of an amendment or
supplement as described in paragraph 4(f) or withdrawal of the stop order
referred to in paragraph 4(g), and use commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents;
(c) in the event of an underwritten offering of such Registrable
Securities in which such Holder participates, enter into a customary and
reasonable underwriting agreement and execute such other documents as the
Company and the managing underwriter for such offering may reasonably request;
(d) to the extent required by applicable law, deliver a prospectus to
the purchaser of such Registrable Securities;
(e) notify the Company when it has sold all of the Registrable
Securities held by it; and
(f) notify the Company in the event that any information supplied by
such Holder in writing for inclusion in such Registration Statement or related
prospectus is untrue or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make such information not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing; immediately discontinue any sale or other
disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement until the filing of an amendment or supplement to such prospectus as
may be necessary so that such prospectus does not contain an untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
7
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing; and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist
the Company as may be appropriate to make such amendment or supplement effective
for such purpose.
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration
Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, employees, agents and
representatives of such Holder, and each person, if any, who controls such
Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (whether joint or several)
(collectively, including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with investigating or defending same, "Losses"), insofar as any such
Losses arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged 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, or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 6(c) below, the
Company will reimburse such Holder, and each such officer, director, employee,
agent, representative or controlling person, for any legal or other
out-of-pocket expenses as reasonably incurred by any such entity or person in
connection with investigating or defending any Loss; provided, however, that the
foregoing indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Loss if
such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be obligated to
indemnify any person for any Loss to the extent that such Loss is (i) based upon
and is in conformity with written information furnished by such person expressly
for use in such Registration Statement or (ii) based on a failure of such person
to deliver or cause to be delivered the final prospectus contained in the
Registration Statement and made available by the Company, if such delivery is
required by applicable law. Other than with the consent of the Holder (which
consent may be granted or withheld at such Holder's sole discretion), the
Company shall not enter into any settlement of a Loss that does not provide for
the unconditional release of such Holder from all liabilities and obligations
relating to such Loss.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder who is named in such
Registration Statement as a selling stockholder, acting severally and not
jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors,
employees, agents and representatives of the Company, and each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act, against any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) that any
such Losses are based upon and in conformity with written information furnished
by such Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement. Subject to the
provisions of paragraph 6(c) below, such Holder will reimburse any legal or
other expenses as reasonably incurred by the Company and any such officer,
director, employee, agent, representative, or controlling person, in connection
with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided, however, that the
foregoing indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such
Loss if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further,
8
that, in no event shall any indemnity under this paragraph 6(b) exceed the net
proceeds resulting from the sale of the Registrable Securities sold by such
Holder under such Registration Statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action), such indemnified party will, 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 assume the
defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided,
however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses of one such counsel for
all indemnified parties to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation
of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party
would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to
actual or potential conflicting 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, to the extent prejudicial to its ability to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 6 with respect to such action, 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 6 or with respect to any other action unless the indemnifying
party is materially prejudiced as a result of not receiving such notice.
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party for any reason, the Company and each Holder agree, severally and not
jointly, to contribute to the aggregate Losses to which the Company or such
Holder may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Company and such Holder in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case
shall such Holder be responsible for any amount in excess of the net proceeds
resulting from the sale of the Registrable Securities sold by it under the
Registration Statement. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to
whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided
by the Company or by such Holder. The Company and each Holder agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata
allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who is not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls a
Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and
each officer, director, employee, agent or representative of such Holder shall
have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who
controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act and each officer, director, employee, agent or representative of
the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject
in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).
9
(e) The obligations of the Company and each Holder under this Section
6 shall survive the exercise of the Warrant in full, the completion of any
offering or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
under this Agreement, or otherwise.
7. REPORTS.
With a view to making available to each Holder the benefits of Rule
144 and any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any
time permit such Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without
registration, the Company agrees (until all of the Registrable Securities have
been sold under a Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144) to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are
understood and defined in Rule 144;
(b) 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 such Holder, so long as such Holder owns any
Registrable Securities, promptly upon written request (i) a written statement by
the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of
Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) to the extent not
publicly available through the Commission's XXXXX database, 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 (iii) such other information as may be
reasonably requested by such Holder in connection with such Holder's compliance
with any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any
such securities without registration.
8. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Expenses of Registration. Except as otherwise provided in the
Securities Purchase Agreement, all reasonable expenses, other than underwriting
discounts and commissions and fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors to
each Holder, incurred in connection with the registrations, filings or
qualifications described herein, including (without limitation) all
registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, the
fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the fees and
disbursements incurred in connection with the opinion and letter described in
paragraph 4(h) hereof, shall be borne by the Company.
(b) Amendment; Waiver. Except as expressly provided herein, neither
this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended or waived except pursuant to a
written instrument executed by the Company and the Holders of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the Registrable Securities into which the Warrant is
exercisable (without regard to any limitation on such exercise). Any amendment
or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each
Holder, each future Holder and the Company. The failure of any party to exercise
any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or the delay by any party
in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
10
(c) Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be

verifiable facsimile transmission (immediately followed by written confirmation
delivered according to another mechanism provided by this section), unless such
