statement or an amendment to Amendment No. 1 ( such registration statement
or amendment, the "Registration Statement") with the SEC under the Act to
register the issuance and/or resale of the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Registrable Securities") and
shall use its best efforts to secure the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement on or before the Closing. The number of Registrable Securities to
be registered shall be based on the applicable conversion price at the time
the Registration Statement is filed. The Company shall further amend the
Registration Statement to include additional Registrable Securities, if any,
at such time as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall
direct; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect
more than one such amendment.
(b) Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as
defined below) in connection with any registration, qualification or
compliance hereunder, and Investor shall pay all Selling Expenses (as defined
below) and other expenses that are not Registration Expenses relating to the

complying with the registration provisions herein described, including,
without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing
expenses, escrow fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for Company, blue
sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or
required by any such registration. "Selling Expenses" shall mean all selling
commissions, underwriting fees and stock transfer taxes applicable to the
Registrable Securities and all fees and disbursements of counsel for
Investor.
(c) In the case of the registration effected by the
Company pursuant to these registration provisions, Company will use its best
efforts to: (i) keep such registration effective until the earlier of (A) the
second anniversary of the Closing, (B) such date as all of the Registrable
Securities have been resold or (C) such time as all of the Registrable
Securities held by Investor can be sold within a given three-month period
without compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated thereunder ("Rule 144"); (ii) prepare and
file with the SEC 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 with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the
Registration Statement; (iii) furnish such number of prospectuses and other
documents incident thereto, including any amendment of or supplement to the
prospectus, as Investor from time to time may reasonably request; (iv) cause
the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange and
quoted on each quotation service on which similar securities issued by
Company are then listed or quoted; (v) provide a transfer agent and registrar
for all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and a
CUSIP number for all such securities; (vi) otherwise use its best efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC; and (vii) file
the documents required of Company and otherwise use its best efforts to
maintain requisite blue sky clearance in (X) all jurisdictions in which
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were originally sold and (Y) all other
states specified in writing by Investor, provided, however, that, as to
clause (Y), Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or
consent to service of process in any state in which it is not now so
qualified or has not so consented.
(d) Company shall furnish to Investor upon request a
reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of the
prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be
necessary in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all
or any of the Registrable Securities held by the Investor.
(e) With a view to making available to Investor the
benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at
any time permit Investor to sell Registrable Securities to the public
6
without registration or pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3,
Company covenants and agrees to use its best efforts to: (i) make and keep
public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) the second anniversary of the Closing or
(B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold;
(ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents
required of Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); and (iii) furnish to Investor upon
request, as long as the Investor owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a
written statement by Company that it has complied with the reporting
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the
most recent annual or quarterly report of Company, and (C) such other
information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail Investor of any
rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such
Registrable Securities without registration or pursuant to such registration
statement on Form S-3.
(f) If Investor shall propose to sell any Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, it shall notify Company of
its intent to do so by 12:00 noon Pacific time on the second business day
prior to such proposed sale. Such notice shall be deemed to constitute a
representation that any written information previously supplied by Investor
is accurate as of the date of such notice. At any time on or before 5:00
p.m. Pacific time on the business day after the business day on which the
Company receives such notice, Company may refuse to permit the Investor to
resell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement for
an initial period not to exceed thirty (30) days; provided, however, that in
order to exercise this right, Company must deliver a certificate in writing
to the Investor to the effect that a delay in such sale is necessary because
a sale pursuant to such Registration Statement in its then-current form would
not be in the best interests of Company and its stockholders due to
disclosure obligations of Company. For example, if the Company receives such
notice from Investor on 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, it must deliver
such certificate to Investor on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on Wednesday
in order to exercise the foregoing right to delay the sale. If the Company
exercises such right, it shall use its best efforts to amend the Registration
Statement if necessary and to take all other actions necessary to allow such
sale, and shall notify the Investor promptly after it has determined that
such sale has become permissible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company
shall not be entitled to exercise its right to withdraw the registration
statement more than three (3) times in any calendar year or for more than two
consecutive thirty (30) day periods in any calendar year. Investor hereby
covenants and agrees that it will not sell any Registrable Securities
pursuant to the Registration Statement during the periods the Registration
Statement is withdrawn as set forth in this Section 7.1(f).
7.2 INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
(a) Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Investor from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which Investor may become
subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement on the
effective date thereof, or arise out of any failure by Company to fulfill any
undertaking included in the Registration Statement, and Company will, as
incurred, reimburse Investor for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action,
proceeding or claim; provided, however, that Company shall not be liable in
any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises
out of, or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or omission in such
Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to Company by or on behalf of Investor specifically for
use in preparation of the Registration Statement, (ii) the failure of
Investor to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section
7.1(f) hereof, or (iii) an untrue statement or omission in any prospectus
that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment
thereto, that was delivered to the Investor prior to the pertinent sale or
sales by Investor.
(b) Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Company from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which Company may become
subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
arise out of, or are based upon (i) an untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact in the Registration Statement in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Company by or on
behalf of Investor specifically for use in preparation of the Registration
Statement;
7
provided, however, that Investor shall not be liable in any such case for any
untrue statement or omission in any prospectus which statement has been
corrected, in writing, by Investor and delivered to Company before the sale
from which such loss occurred, (ii) the failure of Investor to comply with
the covenants and agreements contained in Section 7.1(f) hereof, or (iii) an
untrue statement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any
subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto, that was delivered
to the Investor prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Investor, and
Investor will, as incurred, reimburse Company for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any
such action, proceeding or claim.
(c) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person
of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which
indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this
Section 7.2(c) such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person
in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject
to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be
brought against an indemnified person and the indemnifying person shall have
been notified thereof, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to
participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified
person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person
of the indemnifying person's election to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any
legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection
with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall
exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the
reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to
represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any
affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to
retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 7.2 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party under this Section 7.2 in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to
therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as result of such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Company on the one hand and
Investor on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by Company on the one hand or Investor on the other and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission. Company and Investor agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection
(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if Investor and all other
Investors were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method
of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to above in this subsection (iv). The amount paid or payable by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (iv)
shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (iv),
Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
amount by which the net amount received by Investor from the sale of the
Registrable Securities to which such loss relates exceeds the amount of any
damages which Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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 was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Investor's
obligations in this subsection (iv) to contribute are several in proportion
to its respective sales of Registrable Securities to which such loss relates
and not joint.
(e) The obligations of Company and Investor under this
Section 7.2 shall be in addition to any liability which Company and Investor
may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to
each person, if any, who controls Company or Investor within the meaning of
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
