damages shall be paid not less often than every 30 days. Any unpaid liquidated
damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the Company shall be paid

and to remain effective as otherwise provided in this Agreement;
(b)
use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments to such registration statement (including post-effective amendments)
and supplements to the prospectus included therein as may be necessary to keep
such registration statement effective, subject to the qualifications in Section

the sale or other disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the Investor set forth in such registration
statement;
(c)
furnish to the Investor such number of copies of such registration statement and
of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all
exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration
statement (including each preliminary prospectus), in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as each Investor
may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other
disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor;
(d) use
all commercially reasonable efforts to make such filings under the securities or
blue sky laws of New York and Florida to enable the the Investor to consummate
the sale in such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by the
Investor;
(e)
notify the Investor at any time when a prospectus relating to their
Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of
the Company’s becoming aware that the prospectus included in the related
registration statement, as then in effect, includes 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 not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to the Investor a
reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such
prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing;
(f)
otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission;
(g) to
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Registrable Securities to be quoted
on each trading market and/or in each quotation service on which the Common
Stock of the Company is then listed or quoted; and
(h) notify
the Investor of any stop order threatened or issued by the Commission and take
all actions reasonably necessary to prevent the entry of such stop order or to
remove it if entered.
4
4. Other
Procedures.
(a)
Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 4(a) and the Company’s
general obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts under Section 3, the
Company shall be required to maintain the effectiveness of a registration
statement until the earlier of (i) the sale of all Registrable Securities, (ii)
when all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are
eligible to be sold under Rule 144 (or successor rule), or (iii) 12 months from
the date of this Agreement. Provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to file any post-effective amendment to any
registration statement or file any prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of
the Securities Act beginning six months from the date of this Agreement unless
and until the Company fails to file with the Commission a Form 10-Q or Form 10-K
within the time required by the rules of the Commission including Rule 12b-25
(or any successor rule). The Company shall have no liability to the Investor for
delays in the Investor being able to sell the Registrable Securities (i) as long
as the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration
statement, amendments to a registration statement, post-effective amendments to
a registration statement or supplements to a prospectus contained in a
registration statement (including any amendment or post effective amendments),
(ii) where the required financial statements or auditor’s consents are
unavailable or (iii) where the Company would be required to disclose information
at a time when it has no duty to disclose such information under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission. Any such
delays shall be added to the periods provided in clauses (ii) and (iii)
above.
(b) In
consideration of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement, the Investor
agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 3(e) herein, the Investor shall forthwith
discontinue his sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of
the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by said
Section 3(e) and,
if so directed by the Company, shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s
expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in the Investor’s
possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the
time of receipt of such notice.
(c)
The Company’s obligation to file any registration statement or amendment
including a post-effective amendment, shall be subject to each Investor, as
applicable, furnishing to the Company in writing such information and documents
regarding such Investor and the distribution of such Investor’s Registrable
Securities as may reasonably be required to be disclosed in the registration
statement in question by the rules and regulations under the Securities Act or
under any other applicable securities or blue sky laws of the jurisdiction
referred to in Section 3(d) herein. The Company’s obligations are
also subject to each Investor promptly executing any representation letter
concerning compliance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act (or any successor
rule or regulation). If any Investor fails to provide all of the information
required by this Section 4(c), the Company shall have no obligation to include
his Registrable Securities in a registration statement or it may withdraw such
Investor’s Registrable Securities from the registration statement without
incurring any penalty or otherwise incurring liability to such
Investors.
5
(d) If
any such registration or comparable statement refers to the Investor by name or
otherwise as a stockholder of the Company, but such reference to the Investor by
name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or the rules thereunder,
then each Investor shall have the right to require the deletion of the reference
to the Investor, as may be applicable.
(e) In
connection with the sale of Registrable Securities, the Investor shall (if
required by law) deliver to each purchaser a copy of any necessary prospectus
and, if applicable, prospectus supplement, within the time required by Section
5(b) of the Securities Act.
(f) If
the Registrable Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144, the Investor
shall sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 rather than the
registration statement; provided, however, that the
Company shall provide at the Investor’s request written confirmation that it has
filed all required reports (except Form 8-K) under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act during the prior 12 months.
5. Registration
Expenses. In connection
with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the
Company shall, whether or not any such registration shall become effective, from
time to time, pay all expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incident to its
performance of or compliance, including, without limitation, all registration,
and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky
laws, word processing, printing and copying expenses, messenger and delivery
expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent
public accountants and other Persons retained by the Company.
6. Indemnification.
(a) In
the event of any registration of any shares of Common Stock under the Securities
Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
each Investor, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities,
joint or several, to which each Investor may become subject under the Securities
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration
statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the
Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incident to
registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section
3(d) herein, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading or, with respect to any prospectus,
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or state securities or blue sky laws
applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the
Company in connection with such registration or qualification under the
Securities Act or such state securities or blue sky laws. If the
Company fails to defend the Investor as required by Section 6(c) herein, it
shall reimburse (after receipt of appropriate documentation) each Investor for
any legal or any other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by any of them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable to an Investor in any such case to the extent that
any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
made in said registration statement, said preliminary prospectus, said
prospectus, or said amendment or supplement or any document incident to
registration or qualification of any Registrable Securities pursuant
to Section 3(d) hereof in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Investor specifically for use in
the preparation thereof or information omitted to be furnished by such Investor
or (ii) any act or failure to act of such Investor including the failure of any
Investor to deliver a prospectus as required by Section 5(e) of the Securities
Act.
6
(b) In
the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities
Act pursuant to this Agreement, each Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless
(in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6(a)) the
Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signs
such registration statement, the Company’s attorneys and auditors and any Person
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect
to (i) any untrue statement or omission from such registration statement, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Investor specifically for use in the preparation of such registration statement,
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement or (ii) from
any other act or failure to act of the Investor.
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any
action involving a claim referred to in Section 6(a) or (b), such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying
party, give written notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such
action. The indemnifying party shall be relieved of its obligations
under this Section 6(c) to the extent that the indemnified party delays in
giving notice and the indemnifying party is damaged or prejudiced by the
delay. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified
party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume
the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so as to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense
thereof, provided,
however, that, if counsel for an indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest between the
indemnified and the indemnifying party the indemnifying party shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party,
and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any
Person controlling such indemnified party for the fees and expenses of counsel
retained by the indemnified party which are reasonably related to the matters
covered by the indemnity agreement provided in this Section 6; provided, further,
that in no event shall any indemnification by an Investor under this Section 6
exceed the net proceeds from the sale of Registrable Securities received by the
Investor. No indemnified party shall make any settlement of any
claims indemnified against hereunder without the written consent of the
indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In the event that any indemnifying party enters into any
settlement without the written consent of the indemnified party the indemnifying
party shall not, 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 of a release of such indemnified party from all liability
in respect to such claim or litigation.
7
(d) In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under
the Securities Act in any case in which under any indemnified party makes a
claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6, but it is judicially
determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent
jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last
right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case
notwithstanding the fact that this Section 6 provides for indemnification in
such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required in
circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6; then,
in each such case, the Company and such Investor shall contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and such Investor in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, it being understood that the parties acknowledge
that the overriding equitable consideration to be given effect in connection
with this provision is the ability of one party or the other to correct the
statement or omission (or avoid the conduct or take an act) which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, and that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were to be determined by pro-rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into
consideration the foregoing equitable considerations. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) no such Investor shall be required to contribute any amount
in excess of the net proceeds to him of all Registrable Securities sold by him
pursuant to such registration statement, and (ii) no Person who is 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.
(e) Notwithstanding any
of the foregoing, except for Common Stock registered on Form S-8, if, in
connection with an underwritten public offering of the Registrable Securities,
the Company, any of the Investor and the underwriters enter into an underwriting
agreement relating to such offering which contains provisions covering
indemnification among the parties, then the indemnification provision of this
Section 6 shall be deemed inoperative for purposes of such
offering.
7. Certain
Limitations on Registration Rights. At any
time prior to the effectiveness of any registration statement filed pursuant to
this Agreement, if the Company determines to file a registration statement with
the Commission for the public sale of its securities and the managing
underwriter of such offering offers to purchase the Registrable Securities for
its own account at the same price including underwriting discounts and
applicable expenses as paid to the Company, the Investor shall either (i) elect
to include their Registrable Securities being registered pursuant to this
Agreement in the registration statement covering the sale of
the Company’s securities, or (ii) immediately cease their
public sales for a period of 90 days following the effective date of the
registration statement covering the sale by the
Company. Additionally, no Investor may participate in the
registration statement relating to the sale by the Company of its Common Stock
as provided above unless such Investor enters into an underwriting agreement
with the managing underwriter and completes and/or executes all questionnaires,
indemnities and other reasonable documents requested by the managing
underwriter. Each Investor shall be deemed to have agreed by acquisition of its
Registrable Securities not to effect any public sale or distribution, including
any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of any Registrable
Securities and to use its best efforts not to effect any such public sale or
distribution of any other equity security of the Company (including any short
sale) or of any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any
equity security of the Company (other than as part of such underwritten public
offering) within 10 days before or 90 days after the effective date of such
registration statement. In such event, the Investor shall, if
requested, sign a customary market stand-off letter with the Company’s managing
underwriter, and to comply with applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission.
8
8. Allocation
of Securities Included in Registration Statement. In the
case of a registration pursuant to Section 7 for the Company’s account, if the
Company’s managing underwriter shall advise the Company and the Investor in
writing that the inclusion in any registration pursuant hereto of some or all of
(a) the Registrable Securities sought to be registered by the Investor and
securities offered by other holders, and (b) the Company’s securities sought to
be registered creates a substantial risk that the proceeds or price per unit
that will be derived from such registration will be reduced or that the number
of securities to be registered is too large a number to be reasonably sold, (i)
first, the number of Company securities sought to be registered shall be
included in such registration, and (ii) next, the number of Registrable
Securities offered by the Investor and securities offered
by other holders shall be included in such registration to the extent
permitted by the Company’s managing underwriter with the number of Registrable
Securities and such other securities being registered determined on a
pro-rata basis based on the number of Registered Securities and securities the
participating holders including the Investor desire to have registered; provided, however,
that, if any participating Investor would be required pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 7 to reduce the number of Registrable Securities that he may
include in such registration, the Investor may withdraw all or any portion of
its Registrable Securities from such registration and may resume selling shares
under the registration statement (assuming it is effective) referred to in
Section 2 after the 90-day lock-up period.
9. Rule
144. For one year from
the date of this Agreement, the Company covenants that it will file the reports
required to be filed under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, in the event that the Company is not
required to file such reports, it will make publicly available information as
set forth in Rule 144(c) promulgated under the Securities Act), and it will take
such further action as the Investor may reasonably request, or to the extent
required from time to time to enable the Investor to sell their Registrable
Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemption provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule
may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the Commission (collectively, “Rule 144”). Upon
request of the Investor, the Company will deliver to the Investor a written
statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
9
