basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on
Form S-2 or Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to

form in accordance herewith). The Company shall cause the
Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as
provided herein. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective
under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing
thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date. The
Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to keep the
Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities
Act until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all
Registrable Securities have been sold or (ii) all Registrable
Securities may be sold immediately without registration under the
Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule
144(k), as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a
written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to
the Company's transfer agent and the affected Holders (the
"Effectiveness Period").
(b) If: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or
prior to the Filing Date; (ii) the Registration Statement is not
declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date;
(iii) after the Registration Statement is filed with and declared
effective by the Commission, the Registration Statement ceases to be
effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable
Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to
the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded
immediately by an additional registration statement filed and
declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days
in the aggregate per year or more than 20 consecutive calendar days
(defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the
Registration Statement is declared effective); or (iv) the Common
Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on any
Trading Market for a period of three (3) consecutive Trading Days
(provided the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading
suspension within 30 days of the notice thereof or list the Common
Stock on another Trading Market); (any such failure or breach being
referred to as an "Event," and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii)
the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii)
the date which such 30 day or 20 consecutive day period (as the case
may be) is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iv) the date on
which such three (3) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred
to as "Event Date"), then until the applicable Event is cured, the
Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% for each thirty (30) day
period (prorated for partial periods) on a daily basis of the
original principal amount of the Note. While such Event continues,
such liquidated damages shall be paid not less often than each
thirty (30) days. Any unpaid liquidated damages as of the date when
an Event has been cured by the Company shall be paid within three
(3) days following the date on which such Event has been cured by
the Company.
(c) Within three business days of the Effectiveness Date, the
Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the transfer agent stating
that the shares are subject to an effective registration statement
and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale
by Laurus and confirmation by Laurus that it has complied with the
prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not
advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has
been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this
Section 2(c) shall be delivered to Laurus within the time frame set
forth above.
3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required
by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as
possible:
(a) prepare and file with the Commission the Registration
Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as
promptly as possible to any comments received from the Commission,
and use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to
become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with
respect thereto, and promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all
filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and
to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration
of the Effectiveness Period;
(c) furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein
(including each preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser reasonably
may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;
(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or
qualify the Purchaser's Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement under the securities or "blue sky" laws of
such jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser may
reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not
for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact
business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is
not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any
such jurisdiction;
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement with any securities exchange on which the
Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
(f) immediately notify the Purchaser at any time when a
Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company
has knowledge as a result of
which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances then existing; and
(g) make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any
attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser, all
publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and
cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all
publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably
requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.
4. Registration Expenses. All expenses relating to the Company's
compliance with Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses
(including reasonable Company counsel fees) incurred in connection with
complying with state securities or "blue sky" laws, fees of the NASD, transfer
taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, fees of, and disbursements
incurred by, one counsel for the Holders (to the extent such counsel is required
due to Company's failure to meet any of its obligations hereunder) up to a
maximum of $5,000, are called "Registration Expenses". All selling commissions
applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and
disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in
Registration Expenses, are called "Selling Expenses." The Company shall only be
responsible for all Registration Expenses.
5. Indemnification.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and its
officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the
Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Purchaser, or such persons 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which
such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final
Prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, 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, and will reimburse
the Purchaser, and each such person for any reasonable legal or
other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such
case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in
conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the
Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any
such document.
(b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the
Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its
officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Company or such persons 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 any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact which was furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the
Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in)
the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities
were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement,
any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or
any amendment or supplement thereof, 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, and will reimburse the Company
and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however,
that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out
of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of
the Purchaser specifically for use in any such document.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser
shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of
the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Purchaser
in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such
registration under the Securities Act.
(c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim
indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party") of notice of the
commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim
for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party
hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an
"Indemnifying Party"), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing
thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such
Indemnified Party other than under this Section 5(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified
Party under this Section 5(c) if and to the extent the Indemnifying
Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall
be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the
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
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the
Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to
assume and undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party
shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section
5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the
Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified
Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the Indemnifying Party and
the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may
be reasonable defenses available to it 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 one 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 such separate counsel and other expenses
related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying
Party as incurred.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in
which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or
controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 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 5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of
the Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the
Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided
under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and
the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after
contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Purchaser
is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage
that the public offering price of its securities offered by the
Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all
securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided,
however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering
price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such
Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of
the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
6. Representations and Warranties.
(a) The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to
Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and, except with respect
to certain matters which the Company has disclosed to the Purchaser
on Schedule 4.21 to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company
has timely filed all proxy statements, reports, schedules, forms,
statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the
Exchange Act. The Company has filed (i) its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 and (ii) its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2003
(collectively, the "SEC Reports"). Each SEC Report was, at the time
of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of
its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial
statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as
of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of
a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports
comply as to form in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the Commission or other
applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") 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) and fairly present in all
material respects the financial condition, the results of operations
and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each
such SEC Report.
(b) The Common Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market and satisfies all requirements for the continuation
of such listing. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.22 to the
Securities Purchase Agreement , the Company has not received any
notice that its Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market (except for prior notices which have been fully
remedied) or that the Common Stock does not meet all requirements
for the continuation of such listing.
(c) 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 security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering
of the Securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement to
be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of
the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the
Common Stock pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any
applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor
will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any
action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to
be integrated with other offerings.
(d) The Warrants, the Note and the shares of Common Stock
which the Purchaser may acquire pursuant to the Warrants and the
Note are all restricted securities under the Securities Act as of
the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop
transfer order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of any
of the Registrable Securities at such time as such Registrable
Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from
registration is available, except as required by federal or state
securities laws.
(e) The Company understands the nature of the Registrable
Securities issuable upon the conversion of the Note and the exercise
of the Warrant and recognizes that the issuance of such Registrable
Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The Company
specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the
Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable
regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership
interests of other shareholders of the Company.
(f) Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of
business or further to agreements whereby all necessary waivers have
been obtained, the detail of which are set forth on Schedule 6(f)
hereto, there is no agreement that has not been filed with the
Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form
required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the
breach of which could reasonably be expected to have a material and
adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or would
prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to
enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement
in any material respect.
(g) The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved
a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the full
conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrants.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a
Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement,
each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being
entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this
Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to
specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.
(b) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent
specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of
its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity
pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any
Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and
the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement
providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration
Statement to any of its security holders. Except as and to the
extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the Company has not
previously entered into any agreement granting any registration
rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have
not been fully satisfied.
(c) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(d) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its
acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a
notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event
(as defined below), such Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of such Registrable Securities under the applicable
Registration Statement until such Holder's receipt of the copies of
the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or
until it is advised in writing (the "Advice") by the Company that
the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either
case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings
that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in
such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide
appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.
For purposes of this Section 7(d), a "Discontinuation Event" shall
mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will
be a "review" of such Registration Statement and whenever the
Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the
Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all
written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request
by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental
authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the
issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of
the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for
that purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in
any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding
for such purpose; and/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage
of time that makes the financial statements included in such
Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any
statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any
revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other
documents so that, in the case
of such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it
will not contain any 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 under
which they were made, not misleading.
(e) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from
the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Company and the Holders of fifty one
percent (51%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.

Re: [Company Name]. Registration Statement on Form [S-3]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As counsel to[company name] , a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
we have been requested to render our opinion to you in connection with the
resale by the individuals or entitles listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the
"Selling Stockholders"), of an aggregate of [amount] shares (the "Shares") of
the Company's Common Stock.
A Registration Statement on Form [S-3] under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), with respect to the resale of the Shares was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on [date]. Enclosed
is the Prospectus dated [date]. We understand that the Shares are to be offered
and sold in the manner described in the Prospectus.
Based upon the foregoing, upon request by the Selling Stockholders at
any time while the registration statement remains effective, it is our opinion
that the Shares have been registered for resale under the Act and new
certificates evidencing the Shares upon their transfer or re-registration by the
Selling Stockholders may be issued without restrictive legend. We will advise
you if the registration statement is not available or effective at any point in
the future.
Very truly yours,
[Company counsel]
