Section 1.4 COVENANT TO REGISTER.
--------------------
(a) For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) The terms "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to
a registration under the Securities Act, effected by preparing and filing a
registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities
Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration
statement, document or amendment thereto.
(ii) The term "Registrable Securities" means the shares of the
Company's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the Shares or
upon conversion of any other stock issued in payment of dividends on the Shares
or otherwise issuable pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of EXHIBIT A
hereto, shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants, and any securities of the Company or securities of any successor
corporation issued as, or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any
warrant, right or other security that is issued as a dividend or other
distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, the
Shares.
(iii) The term "holder of Registrable Securities" means the Purchaser
and any permitted assignee of registration rights pursuant to Section 1.4(h).
(b) (i) No later than fifteen (15) days after the Closing Date, the
Company shall file with the SEC an amendment to its registration statement on
Form S-3 (filed with the SEC on May 14, 1998) covering at least 200% of the
number of Registrable Securities which would then be issuable upon conversion of
the Shares at the conversion price then in effect, and shall use its best
efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective on or before
ninety (90) days after the date such registration statement is filed (the
"Initial Registration"). If such Initial Registration is not declared effective
by the end of such period or does not include all Registrable Securities, or the
Company is not in compliance with its obligations under Subsection (d) of this
Section 1.4, a holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to require
by notice in writing that the Company register all or any part of the
Registrable Securities held by such holder (a "Demand Registration") and the
Company shall thereupon effect such registration in accordance herewith (which
may include adding such shares to an existing shelf registration). The parties
agree that if the holder of Registrable Securities demands registration of less
than all of the Registrable Securities, the Company, at its option, may
nevertheless file a registration statement covering all of the Registrable
Securities. If the Initial Registration statement or a Demand Registration
statement is declared effective with respect to all Registrable Securities and
the Company is in compliance with its obligations under Subsection (d) of this
Section 1.4, the Demand Registration rights granted pursuant to this Subsection
(b)(i) shall cease. If such Initial Registration statement is not declared
effective with respect to all Registrable Securities or if the Company is not in
compliance with such obligations, the Demand Registration rights described
herein shall remain in effect.
(ii) The Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand
Registration under Subsection (b)(i) above: (A) if all of the Registrable
Securities held by the holder of Registrable Securities which are demanded to be
covered by the Demand Registration are, at the time of such demand, included in
an effective registration statement and the Company is in compliance with its
obligations under Subsection (d) of this Section 1.4, (B) if all of the
Registrable Securities may be sold under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act and
the Company's transfer agent has accepted an instruction from the Company to
such effect; or (C) at any time after two (2) years from the Closing Date.
(iii) Subject to Subsection (iv)(B) hereof, the Company may suspend
the effectiveness of any such registration effected pursuant to this Subsection
(b)in the event and for such period of time as, such a suspension is required by
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The
Company will use its best efforts to cause such suspension to terminate at the
earliest possible date.
(iv) (A) If the Company is advised by the SEC that a registration
statement filed hereunder is subject to a "no-review" and such registration
statement is not declared effective within five (5) business days thereafter
(an "Acceleration Date") or, irrespective of the SEC review, a registration
statement is not declared effective by the ninety first (91/st/) day after the
filing date (the "Target Date"), the Company shall pay Purchaser as liquidated
damages an amount
2
equal to: (I) one half of one percent (0.5%) of the total Purchase Price of the
Shares for the first thirty (30) day period following the earlier of the
Acceleration Date or Target Date, as applicable; plus (II) one percent (1%) of
the total Purchase Price of the Shares for the following thirty (30) day period;
plus (III) two percent (2%) of the total Purchase Price of the Shares for each
thirty (30) day period thereafter, until such time as a registration statement
covering all Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC. The
payment set forth above shall be pro-rated daily as to any period of less than
thirty (30) days. Such payment shall be made to the Purchaser by cashier's
check or wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account as shall
be designated in writing by the Purchaser. The foregoing amount shall be paid
irrespective of the amount of Registrable Securities then held by Purchaser.
(B) If, following effectiveness of a registration,
either the effectiveness of the registration statement is suspended or a current
prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act is not
available for delivery by the Purchaser for any reason (either referred to
herein as a "suspension"), the Company shall thereupon pay to Purchaser as
liquidated damages an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price of
the Shares for each thirty (30) day period of the suspension. The payment set
forth above shall be pro-rated daily as to periods of less than thirty (30)
days. Such payment shall be made to the Purchaser by cashier's check or wire
transfer in immediately available funds to such account as shall be designated
in writing by the Purchaser, and shall be paid irrespective of the amount of
Registrable Securities held by Purchaser on or after the date following the
suspension.
(C) Any amount payable pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Subsection (iv) shall be delivered on or before the fifth
(5th) day following the end of the calendar month in which such payment
obligation arose. The "Purchase Price" of Registrable Securities shall be (I) if
derived from conversion or substitution of Shares, the Purchase Price of the
Shares, and (II) if received in satisfaction of a Company obligation, the dollar
amount of such obligation.
(D) This Subsection (b) is in addition to the
provisions of Section 7.2(a) hereof.
(c) If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a
registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Purchaser)
any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with
a public offering of such securities (other than a registration on Form X-0,
Xxxx X-0 or other limited purpose form) and all Registrable Securities have not
theretofore been included in a registration statement under Subsection (b) of
this Section 1.4 which remains effective, the Company shall, at such time,
promptly give all holders of Registrable Securities written notice of such
registration. Upon the written request of any holder of Registrable Securities
given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice by the holder of
Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause to be
registered under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities that such holder
of Registrable Securities requests to be registered. However, the Company shall
have no obligation under this Subsection (c) if (i) the Registrable Securities
may be sold without registration under Rule 144(k) and the Company's transfer
agent has accepted an instruction from the Company to such effect, (ii) the
Registration Statement is filed more than two (2) years after the Closing Date,
or (iii) to the extent that, with respect to any underwritten offering initiated
by the Company later than one calendar year following the Closing, the managing
underwriter of such offering reasonably notifies such holder(s) in writing of
its determination that the Registrable Securities or a portion thereof shall be
excluded therefrom.
(d) Whenever required under this Section 1.4 to effect the
registration of any Registrable Securities including, without limitation, the
Initial Registration, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible:
(i) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such Registrable Securities and cause such registration to become
effective as provided in Section 1.4(b)(i), and keep such registration statement
effective for so long as any holder of Registrable Securities desires to dispose
of the securities covered by such registration statement; provided, however,
that in no event shall the Company be required to keep the Registration
Statement effective for a period greater than two (2) years from the Closing
Date;
3
(ii) Respond to comments made by the SEC with respect to a
registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement promptly, but no later
than fifteen (15) days after the date of the comment letter, and 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
(provided, that the Company may not amend the registration statement for the
purpose of registering securities of selling shareholders other than holders of
Shares) and immediately notify the holders of the Shares of filing and
effectiveness of such Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements;
(iii) Furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities such numbers of
copies of a current prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, conforming
with the requirements of the Securities Act, copies of the registration
statement any amendment or supplement to any thereof and any documents
incorporated by reference therein and such other documents, all free of charge,
such holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably require in order to
facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such holder of
Registrable Securities;
(iv) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or "Blue
Sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the holder
of Registrable Securities;
(v) Notify each holder of Registrable Securities immediately 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
material fact of 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 use its best efforts to promptly update and/or
correct such prospectus;
(vi) Furnish, at the request of any holder of Registrable Securities
in connection with any underwritten public offering, (A) an opinion of counsel
of the Company, dated the effective date of the registration statement, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holder and its counsel and
covering, without limitation, such matters as the due authorization and issuance
of the securities being registered and certain matters pertaining to disclosure
under and compliance with securities laws by the Company in connection with the
registration thereof and/or (B) a "comfort" letter or letters of the Company's
independent public accountants provided at the Company's expense in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the holder and its counsel;
(vii) Use its best efforts to list the Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement with any national market or securities exchange
on which the Registrable Securities are then listed;
(viii) Make available for inspection by the holders of Registrable
Securities, upon request, all SEC Documents (as defined below) filed subsequent
to the Closing and require the Company's officers, directors and employees to
supply all information reasonably requested by any holder of Registrable
Securities in connection with such registration statement; and
(ix) Furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities prompt notice of
the commencement of any stop-order proceedings under the Securities Act,
together with copies of all documents in connection therewith, and use its best
efforts to obtain withdrawal of any such stop as soon as possible.
(e) Upon request of the Company, each holder of Registrable Securities
will furnish to the Company in connection with any registration under this
Section such information regarding itself, the Registration Securities and other
securities of the Company held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of
the Registrable Securities held by such holder of Registrable Securities. The
intended method of disposition (Plan of Distribution) of such securities as so
provided by Purchaser shall be included without alteration in the Registration
Statement covering the Registrable Securities and shall not be changed without
the prior written consent of the Purchaser.
4
(f) (i) The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each holder
of Registrable Securities which are included in a registration statement
pursuant to the provisions of Subsections (b) or (c) hereof and each of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, partners or controlling persons (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) (each, an "indemnified party") from and
against, and shall reimburse such indemnified party with respect to, any and all
claims, suits, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs or
expenses ("Liabilities") to which such indemnified party may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, arising from or relating to (A) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or (B) 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 in which they were made, not
misleading; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or omission so made in strict conformity with information
furnished by such indemnified party in writing specifically for use in a
registration statement.
(ii) In the event of any registration under the Securities Act of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Subsections (b) or (c), each holder of such
Registrable Securities hereby severally agrees to indemnity, defend and hold
harmless the Company, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, partners,
or controlling persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (each, an
"indemnified party") from and against, and shall reimburse such indemnified
party with respect to, any and all Liabilities to which such indemnified party
may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, arising from or
relating to (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained
therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) the omission or alleged
omission to sate therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that (X) such holders will be
liable in any such case to the extent and only to the extent, that any such
Liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement,
prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished by such holder specifically for use in the
preparation thereof and (Y) the indemnification obligation of any holder shall
not exceed the purchase price of the Shares.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified party of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against another party (the "indemnifying party")
hereunder, notify such party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify
such party shall not relieve such party from any Liability which it may have to
the indemnified party other than under this Section and shall only relieve it
from any Liability which it may have to the indemnified party under this section
if and to the extent an indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party
and such indemnified party shall notify an 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 the indemnified party of its election so
to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to the indemnified party under this section for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by the 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 parties and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be reasonable defenses available to them 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 reasonable expenses and fees
of one such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such
participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.
(g) (i) With respect to the inclusion of Registrable Securities in a
registration statement pursuant to Subsections (b) or (c), all fees, cost and
expenses of and incidental to such registration, inclusion and public offering
shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that any securityholders
participating in such registration shall bear
5
their pro-rata share of the underwriting discounts and commissions, if any,
incurred by them in connection with such registration.
(ii) The fees, costs and expenses of registration to be borne by the
Company as provided in this Subsection (g) shall include, without limitation,
all registration, filing and NASD fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of counsel and accounts for the Company, and all legal fees and
disbursements and other expenses of complying with state securities or Blue Sky
laws of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which securities to be offered are
to be registered and qualified. Subject to appropriate agreements as to
confidentiality, the Company shall make available to the holders of Registrable
Securities and their counsel its documents and personnel for due diligence
purposes. Except as otherwise provided herein, fees and disbursements of counsel
and accountants for the selling security holders and discounts and commissions,
if any, payable in connection with any such sales shall be borne by the
respective selling security holders.
(h) The rights to cause the Company to register all or any portion of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1.4 may be assigned by Purchaser
to a transferee or assignee. Within a reasonable time after such transfer, the
Purchaser shall notify the Company of the name and address of such transferee or
assignee, and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are
being assigned. Such assignment shall be effective only if, immediately
following such transfer, the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act. Any transferee
asserting registration rights hereunder shall be bound by the applicable
provisions of this Agreement.
(i) The Company shall not agree to allow the holders of any securities of
the Company to include any of their securities in any registration statement
filed by the Company pursuant to Subsection (b) unless such inclusion will not
reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities included therein.
Section 1.5 COMPANY STANDOFF. Except in a corporate reorganization,
----------------
business combination, stock or asset purchase, merger or consolidation, under
existing employee stock incentive or purchase plans or pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company shall not for its own account effect any public sale or
distribution of any securities similar to the Registrable Securities or any
securities exercisable for or convertible or changeable into the Registrable
Securities during the thirty (30) days prior to, and during the one hundred
eighty (180) days immediately following the effective date of any registration

Section 2.1 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASER. The
-----------------------------------------------
Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties to the Company.
(a) Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an "accredited investor"
-------------------
under the definition set forth in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, promulgated under
the Securities Act.
(b) Speculative Investment. The Purchaser is aware that an investment
----------------------
in the Shares is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks. The
Purchaser is capable of bearing the high degree of economic risk and the burden
of this venture, including, but not limited to, the possibility of complete loss
of the Purchaser's investment in the Shares and underlying Common Stock which
make liquidation of this investment of this impossible for the indefinite
future.
(c) Disposition. The Purchaser understands that (i) except as
-----------
provided for in Section 1.4, the Shares, Warrants and underlying Common Stock of
the Company (the "Securities"), have not been and are not being registered under
the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be
transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) the Securities
may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from securities registration
under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or (C) sold
pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor
Rule), or (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be
made only in accordance with the terms of such Rule and further, if such Rule is
not applicable, any resale of such Securities under
6
circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made)
may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities
Act) may require compliance with another exemption under the Securities Act or
the rules of the SEC thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
containes herein, a holder may pledge such Securities as collateral for a
revolving credit note pursuant to a loan and security agreement with a lending
institution.
(d) Privately Offered. The offer to acquire the Shares and Warrants
-----------------
was directly communicated to the Purchaser in such manner that the Purchaser was
able to ask questions of and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions
of this transaction. At no time was the Purchaser presented with or solicited by
or through any leaflet, public promotional meeting, television advertisement, or
any other form of general advertising.
(e) Purchase for Investment. The Securities are being acquired solely
-----------------------
for the Purchaser's own account, for investment, and are not being purchased
with view to the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof
without proper registration with applicable securities administrators
(f) Access to Information. Purchaser or Purchaser's professional
---------------------
advisor has been granted the opportunity to ask questions or and receive answers
from representatives of the Company, its officers, directors, employees and
agents concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Shares and
Warrants, the Company, its business and prospects, and to obtain any additional
information which Purchaser or Purchaser's professional advisor deems necessary
to verify the accuracy and completeness of the information received.
(g) Reliance on Own Advisors. Purchaser has relied on the advice of,
------------------------
or has consulted with, Purchaser's own tax, investment, legal or other advisors
and has not relied on the Company or any of it affiliates, officers, directors,
attorneys, accountants or any affiliates of any thereof and each other person,
if any, who controls any thereof, within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act for any tax or legal advice (other than reliance on information
in the SEC Documents). The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify
Purchaser's right to rely upon representations and warranties of the Company in
Section 2.2 of this Agreement and any representations of any placement agent.
(h) Capability to Evaluate. Purchaser has such knowledge and
----------------------
experience in financial and business matters so as to enable such Purchaser to
utilize the information made available to it in connection with the offer of
Shares and Warrants in order to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective
investment, which are substantial, including without limitation those set forth
in the SEC Documents (as defined herein).
(i) Disclosure Documents. Purchaser, in making Purchaser's investment
--------------------
decision to subscribe for the Shares and Warrants hereunder, represents that
Purchaser has received and had an opportunity to review the SEC Documents.
(j) Authority. Purchaser has full power and authority to execute and
---------
deliver this Agreement and each other document included herein for which a
signature is required in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing
individual, partnership, trust, estate, corporation or other entity for whom or
which Purchaser is executing this Agreement.

which is material to such entity and other entities controlled by such entity

Purchaser true and correct copies of the Company's Articles of Incorporation as
in effect on the date hereof (the "Articles"), and the Company's By-Laws, as in
effect on the date hereof (the "By-Laws"). The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) result in a
violation of the Company's Articles or By-Laws or (ii) conflict with, or
constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both
would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or
instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or result
in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and
regulations) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which
any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or
affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments,
accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect); provided that, for purposes of such
representation as to Federal, state, local or foreign law, rule or regulation,
no representation is made herein with respect to any of the same applicable
solely to the Purchaser and not to the Company. The business of the Company is
not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulations of any
governmental entity, except for violations which either singly or in the
aggregate do not and will not have a Material
8
Adverse Effect. The Company is not required under Federal, state or local law,
rule or regulation in the United States to obtain any consent, authorization or
order of, or make any filing (other than any filing of a vote establishing a
class or series of stock with the Delaware Secretary of State) or registration
with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or
perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or issue and sell the Shares
in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any SEC, NASD, NASDAQ or state
securities filings which may be required to be made by the Company subsequent to
the Closing, and any registration statement which may be filed pursuant hereto);
provided that, for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, the
Company is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant
representations and agreements of the Purchaser herein.
(f) SEC Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock of the Company
-----------------------------------
is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the Company has filed on a timely basis all
reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed
by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act,
including material filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d), in addition to one
or more registration statements and amendments thereto heretofore filed by the
Company with the SEC under the Securities Act (all of the foregoing including
filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as the "SEC
Documents"). The Company directly or through its agent has delivered to the
Purchaser true and complete copies of the SEC Documents except for the exhibits
and incorporated documents. The Company has not provided to the Purchaser any
information which, according to applicable law, rule or regulation, should have
been disclosed publicly by the Company but which has not been so disclosed,
other than with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act as the
case may be and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder and
other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such
SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents have contained any untrue statement
of a material fact or have omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published
rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during
the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim
statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or
summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial
position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of operations
and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
(g) No Material Adverse Change. Since the date through which the most
--------------------------
recent quarterly report of the Company on Form 10-QSB has been prepared and
filed with the SEC, a copy of which is included in the SEC Documents, no
Material Adverse Effect has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or
any of its subsidiaries.
(h) No Undisclosed Liabilities. The Company and its subsidiaries have no
--------------------------
material liabilities or obligations not disclosed in the SEC Documents, other
than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company's or any of its
subsidiaries' respective businesses since the date of the most recently filed
SEC Documents which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have
a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
(i) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. No event or circumstance has
--------------------------------------
occurred or exists with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial
condition which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public
disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly
announced or disclosed.
(j) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its
-----------------------
affiliates, or, to the best of its knowledge, any person acting on its or their
behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising
(within the meaning of Regulation D under the Act) in connection with the offer
or sale of the Shares.
9
(k) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its
----------------------
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or
indirectly, made any offers or sales of any of the Company's securities or
solicited any offers to buy any of such securities, under circumstances that
would require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act.
Section 3.1 SECURITIES COMPLIANCE. The Company shall notify the SEC, NASD
---------------------
and NASDAQ, in accordance with their respective requirements, of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary
action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule
and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Shares, and the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, to the Purchaser.
Section 3.2 REGISTRATION AND LISTING. Until at least two (2) years after
------------------------
all Shares have been converted into Registrable Securities, the Company will
cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under Sections 12(b) or
12(g) of the Exchange Act, will comply in all respects with its reporting and
filing obligations under such Exchange Act, will comply with all requirements
related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement and will
not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or
suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing
obligations under said Acts, except as permitted herein. Until at least two (2)
years after all Shares have been converted into Common Stock, the Company will
take all action within its power to continue the listing or trading of its
Common Stock on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market (or other principal market) and will
comply in all respects with the Company's reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the NASD and NASDAQ. The covenants set
forth in this Section 3.2 shall not be deemed to prohibit a merger, sale of all
assets or other corporate reorganization if the entity surviving or succeeding
to the Company is bound by this Agreement with respect to its securities issued
in exchange for or in replacement of the Shares or Common Stock or the
consideration received for or in replacement of the Shares or Common Stock is
cash.
Section 3.3 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If at any time during the period
----------------------
beginning on the fifth (5th) day prior to (but not including) the Closing Date
and ending ninety (90) days immediately following the effective date of the
Initial Registration, the Company proposes to issue Common Stock or securities
convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock or other convertible
securities, pursuant to an offering exempt from registration under the Act, the
Company shall provide to Purchaser reasonable advance notice of all the terms of
such proposed issuance. The Purchaser shall have the right to purchase or refuse
to purchase all or any part of such securities proposed to be issued in such
offering, and shall have at least seventy two (72) hours after receipt of such
notice to review the terms of the proposed issuance.
Section 3.4 MOST-FAVORED-NATION CLAUSE. If the Company issues Common Stock
--------------------------
or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock or other
convertible securities, at a time when any of the Shares remain outstanding,
at an effective price per share of Common Stock which is lower than the
conversion price of the Shares at that time, then the Company shall, within five
(5) business days, deliver to each holder upon conversion an additional number
of shares of Common Stock necessary to reduce the effective conversion price to
such lower issue price. This Section shall not be applicable to issuances of
Common Stock pursuant to (a) any business combination, acquisition transaction,
stock or asset purchase undertaken by the Company or (b) any shareholder-
approved option plan covering not more than 10% of the Company's outstanding
stock.
Section 3.5 NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. The Company shall in no event disclose
----------------------
non-public information to the Purchaser, advisors to or representatives of the
Purchaser unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company marks such
information as "Non-Public Information - Confidential" and provides the
Purchaser, such advisors and representatives with a reasonable opportunity to
accept or refuse to accept such non-public information for review. Nothing
herein shall require the Company to disclose non-public information to the
Purchaser or its advisors or representatives, and the Company represents that it
does not disseminate non-public information to any Purchasers who purchase stock
in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities
analysts; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the
advisors and representatives of the Purchaser and, if any, underwriters, of any
event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose
the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting non-
public information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by such
10
persons or entities), which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the
registration statement, would cause such prospectus to include a material
misstatement or to omit a material fact required to be stated therein in order
to make the statements, therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that such
persons or entities other than the Purchaser (without the written consent of the
Purchaser prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public
information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or
entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due
diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact required to be
stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.
Section 3.6 DUE DILIGENCE. The Company shall make available for
-------------
inspection and review by the Purchaser, advisors to and representatives of the
Purchaser (who may or may not be affiliated with the Purchaser), any underwriter
participating in any disposition of Registrable Securities on behalf of the
Purchaser, any registration statement filed hereunder, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any filing made to any state securities administrator,
NASDAQ or NASD Regulation, Inc., all financial and other records, all SEC
Documents and the other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents
and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of
such review, and cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply
all such information reasonably requested by the Purchaser, or any such advisor,
representative, or underwriter in connection with such registration statement
(including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries
reasonably made or submitted by any of them), through the two years after the
effective date of a registration statement filed hereunder, for the purpose of
enabling the Purchaser and such advisors, representatives and underwriters and
their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due
diligence with respect to the Company to confirm the accuracy of the disclosures
made in a registration statement filed hereunder.
