required pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof.
3. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under Section 2 to effect
the registration of any Registrable Stock, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration

registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as
such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Stock
owned by such Holder;
(c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Stock
under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any selling Holder or any
underwriter of Registrable Stock reasonably requests, and do any and all other acts which may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the Registrable Stock owned by such Holder; provided that the Company will
not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(c) hereof, (ii) subject itself to
taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction;
(d) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement covering the
resale of the Registrable Stock to be declared effective by the Commission and such other
governmental agencies or other authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and
operations of the Company to enable the selling Holders thereof to consummate the disposition of
such Registrable Stock within one hundred fifty (150) days of the filing of such registration
statement;
(e) notify each selling Holder of such Registrable Stock and any underwriter thereof, at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act (even if
such time is after the period referred to in Section 3(a)), of the happening of any event
as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances being made not misleading,
and prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the
Subscriber(s) of such Registrable Stock, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein in light of the circumstances being made not misleading. Further, the
Company’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be suspended if (a) the fulfillment of
such obligations would require the Company to make a disclosure that would be detrimental to the
Company and the Company’s Board of Directors determines that it is in the best interests of the
Company to defer such obligations or (b) the fulfillment of such obligations would require the
Company to prepare financial statements not required to be prepared by the Company to comply with
its obligations under the Exchange Act at the time the Registration Statement is proposed to be
filed (the period during which either of the preceding conditions is in effect is referred to as a
“Permitted Black-Out Period”). A Permitted Black-Out Period will end, as applicable, upon
the making of the relevant disclosure by the Company (or, if earlier, when such disclosure would no
longer be necessary or detrimental) or as soon as it would no longer be necessary to prepare such
financial statements to comply with the Securities Act;
(f) make available for inspection by any selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by any such seller or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial
and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the
“Records”), and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all
information reasonably requested by any such Inspector, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable
them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, in connection with such registration
statement. Records or other information which the Company determines, in good faith, to be
confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the
Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records or other

information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the registration
statement, or (ii) the release of such Records or other information is ordered pursuant to a
subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Each selling Holder shall, upon
learning that disclosure of such Records or other information is sought in a court of competent
jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to
undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records or other information deemed
confidential;
(g) furnish, at the request of any Requesting Holder, on the date that such shares of
Registrable Stock are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if
such Registrable Stock is not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration
statement with respect to such shares of Registrable Stock becomes effective, (1) a signed opinion,
dated such date, of Xxxxxx & Xxxx, LLP for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and if such Registrable Stock is not being sold through underwriters, then to
the Holders as to such matters as such underwriters or the Holders, as the case may be, may
reasonably request and as would be customary in such a transaction; and (2) a letter dated such
date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and if such Registrable Stock is not being sold through underwriters, then to
the Holders and, if such accountants refuse to deliver such letter to such Holder, then to the
Company (i) stating that they are independent certified public accountants within the meaning of
the 1933 Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements and other
financial data of the Company included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable
accounting requirements of the 1933 Act, and (ii) covering such other financial matters (including
information as to the period ending not more than five (5) business days prior to the date of such
letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which such letter is being given as the
Holders may reasonably request and as would be customary in such a transaction;
(h) enter into customary agreements (including if the method of distribution is by means of an
underwriting, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are
reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Stock to
be so included in the registration statement;
(i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably
practicable, but not later than eighteen (18) months after the effective date of the registration
statement, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with
the first full month after the effective date of such registration statement, which earnings
statements shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act; and
(j) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Stock to be listed on
any national securities exchange or quoted on any quotation system on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed or quoted.
The Company may require each selling Holder of Registrable Stock as to which any registration
is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such
Registrable Stock as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.
Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 3(e) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue

Registrable Stock pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Stock until
such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by
Section 3(e) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the
Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such
Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Stock current at the time of
receipt of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the Company shall
extend the period during which such registration statement shall be maintained effective pursuant
to this Agreement (including the period referred to in Section 3(a)) by the number of days
during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section
3(e) hereof to and including the date when each selling Holder of Registrable Stock covered by
such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) hereof.
4. Incidental Registration. Commencing immediately after the date of Closing (as
defined in the Subscription Agreement), if the Company determines that it shall file a registration
statement under the 1933 Act (other than a registration statement on a Form S-4 or S-8 or filed in
connection with an exchange offer or an offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing
stockholders) on any form that would also permit the registration of the resale of the Registrable
Stock and such filing is to be on its behalf and/or on behalf of selling holders of its securities
for the general registration of its Common Stock to be sold for cash, at each such time the Company
shall promptly give each Holder written notice of such determination setting forth the date on
which the Company proposes to file such registration statement, which date shall be no earlier than
thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and advising each Holder of its right to have
Registrable Stock included in such registration. Upon the written request of any Holder received by
the Company no later than twenty (20) days after the date of the Company’s notice, the Company
shall use its best efforts to cause to be registered under the 1933 Act all of the Registrable
Stock that each such Holder has so requested to be registered. If, in the written opinion of the
managing underwriter or underwriters (or, in the case of a non-underwritten offering, in the
written opinion of the placement agent, or if there is none, the Company), the total amount of such
securities to be so registered, including such Registrable Stock, will exceed the maximum amount of
the Company’s securities which can be marketed (i) at a price reasonably related to the then
current market value of such securities, or (ii) without otherwise materially and adversely
affecting the entire offering, then the amount of Registrable Stock to be offered for the accounts
of Holders shall be reduced pro rata to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of
securities to be included in such offering to the recommended amount; provided, that if
securities are being offered for the account of other Persons as well as the Company, such
reduction shall not represent a greater fraction of the number of securities intended to be offered
by Holders than the fraction of similar reductions imposed on such other Persons other than the
Company over the amount of securities they intended to offer.
5. Holdback Agreement — Restrictions on Public Sale by Holder.
(a) To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each Holder whose Registrable Stock is
included in a registration statement agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of the
issue being registered or a similar security of the Company, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the
1933 Act, during the fourteen (14) days prior to, and during the one hundred eighty (180) day
period beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement (except as part of the
registration), if and to the extent requested by the Company in the case of a nonunderwritten
public offering or if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in
the case of an underwritten public offering.

(b) Restrictions on Public Sale by the Company and Others. The Company agrees (i) not
to effect any public sale or distribution of any securities similar to those being registered, or
any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the
fourteen (14) days prior to, and during the ninety (90) day period beginning on, the effective date
of any registration statement in which Holders are participating (except as part of such
registration), if and to the extent requested by the Holders in the case of a non-underwritten
public offering or if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in
the case of an underwritten public offering; and (ii) that any agreement entered into after the
date of this Agreement pursuant to which the Company issues or agrees to issue any securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities (other than pursuant to an
effective registration statement) shall contain a provision under which holders of such securities
agree not to effect any public sale or distribution of any such securities during the periods
described in (i) above, in each case including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.
6. Expenses of Registration. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in
connection with each registration pursuant to Sections 2 and 4 of this Agreement,
excluding underwriters’ discounts and selling commissions, but including, without limitation, all
registration, filing and qualification fees, word processing, duplicating, printers’ and accounting
fees (including the expenses of any special audits or “cold comfort” letters required by or
incident to such performance and compliance), exchange listing fees or National Association of
Securities Dealers fees, messenger and delivery expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with
securities or blue sky laws, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company. The selling
Holders shall bear and pay the underwriting commissions and discounts applicable to the Registrable
Stock offered for their account in connection with any registrations, filings and qualifications
made pursuant to this Agreement.
7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, to the full
extent permitted by law, each Holder, its officers, directors and agents and each Person who
controls such Holder (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statement therein (in case of a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. The Company will also indemnify any
underwriters of the Registrable Stock, their officers and directors and each Person who controls
such underwriters (within the meaning of the 0000 Xxx) to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the selling Holders.
(b) Indemnification by Holders. In connection with any registration statement in which
a Holder is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information
with respect to such Holder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such
registration statement or prospectus and agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the
Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of
the 0000 Xxx) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a
material fact required to be stated in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of a prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information with respect

to such Holder so furnished in writing by such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
liability of each such Holder under this Section 7(b) shall be limited to an amount equal
to the initial public offering price of the Registrable Stock sold by such Holder, unless such
liability arises out of or is based on willful misconduct of such Holder.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification
hereunder agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party after the receipt by such
Person of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation
or threat thereof made in writing for which such Person will claim indemnification or contribution
pursuant to this Agreement and, unless in the reasonable judgment of such indemnified party, a
conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party with
respect to such claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claims with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Whether or not such defense is assumed
by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). Failure
by such Person to provide said notice to the indemnifying party shall itself not create liability
except to the extent of any injury caused thereby. No indemnifying party will consent to entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof
the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability
in respect of such claim or litigation. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not
to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more
than one (1) counsel with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any
indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other
such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnity provided for in this Section
7 is unavailable to, or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party, then the
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and
the indemnified party on the other, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, or provides a lesser sum to the indemnified party than the amount
hereinafter calculated, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other
but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and
indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by,
such indemnifying party or indemnified parties; and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(c), any legal or
other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or
proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. No

Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000
Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
If indemnification is available under this Section 7, the indemnifying parties shall
indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 7(a) and
7(b) without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying party or indemnified party
or any other equitable consideration provided for in this Section 7.
8. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any
underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s securities
on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Holders entitled hereunder
to approve such arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the
terms of such underwriting arrangements.
9. Rule 144. After a registration statement has been filed under the 1933 Act and
declared effective by the Commission, the Company covenants that it will file the reports required
to be filed by it under the 1933 Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder; and it will take such further action as
any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such
Holder to sell Registrable Stock without registration under the 1933 Act within the limitation of
the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, as such Rule may be amended from time
to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the
request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it
has complied with such requirements.
10. Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights of Holder under this
Agreement with respect to any Registrable Stock may not be transferred to any third party other
than to an “affiliate” of such Holder; provided that such transfer is effected in
accordance with applicable securities laws; provided further, that the transferring Holder
shall give the Company written notice at or prior to the time of such transfer stating the name and
address of the transferee and identifying the securities with respect to which the rights under
this Agreement are being transferred; provided further, that such transferee shall agree in
writing, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, to be bound as a Holder by the
provisions of this Agreement; and provided further, that such assignment shall be effective
only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by such
transferee is restricted under the 1933 Act. Except as set forth in this Section 10, a
transfer of Registrable Stock shall cause such Registrable Stock to lose such status.
11. Mergers, Etc. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into any
merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company shall not be the surviving corporation
unless the proposed surviving corporation shall, prior to such merger, consolidation or
reorganization, agree in writing to assume the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and
for that purpose references hereunder to “Registrable Stock” shall be deemed to be references to
the securities which the Holders would be entitled to receive in exchange for Registrable Stock
under any such merger, consolidation or reorganization; provided, however, that the
provisions of this Section 11 shall not apply in the event of any merger, consolidation or
reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving corporation if each Holder is entitled to
receive in exchange for its Registrable Stock consideration consisting solely of (i) cash, (ii)
securities of the acquiring corporation which may be immediately sold to the public without
registration under the 1933 Act, or (iii) securities of the acquiring corporation which the
acquiring

corporation has agreed to register within ninety (90) days of completion of the transaction
for resale to the public pursuant to the 1933 Act.
12. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not hereafter enter into any
agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the
Holders in this Agreement.
(b) Remedies. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights
granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its
rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate
