2. Registration
Rights.
(a)
After
date hereof, the Company shall prepare a Registration Statement under the
Securities Act which shall include, but which need not be limited to, the
Registrable Securities and shall use its best efforts to file such Registration
Statement as management of the Company and counsel deem advisable, but no more
than ninety (90) days after the date hereof, subject to the provisions of
Section 2(b) hereof.
(b)
The
Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw, in its reasonable
discretion without liability to a Holder, any registration initiated by it
under
this Section 2 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The
Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the
Company in accordance with Section 6 hereof.
(c)
In
the event that the Registration Statement which the Company is obligated to
prepare under this Section 2 includes securities issuable in connection with
an
underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable
Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a
registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's
Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All
Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such
underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good
faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares of
Common Stock to be underwritten, the number of shares of Common Stock that
may
be included in the underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company; second,
to all Holders who are entitled to participate and who have elected to
participate in the offering pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, on a pro
rata basis based upon the total number of shares held by each such participating
Holder that are subject to registration rights pursuant hereto; and third,
to
any other stockholder of the Company on a pro rata basis.
If
any
Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect
to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter,
delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from
such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For
any
Holder which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, stockholders,
subsidiaries, parents and affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and family
members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit
of any of the foregoing Persons shall be deemed to be a single “Holder”, and any
pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the
aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities
and individuals included in such “Holder”, as defined in this
sentence.
(d)
The
Company shall not be required to include any of Holder’s Registrable Securities
in an underwritten offering of the Company’s securities if, at either the time
of the aforesaid written notice of the Company’s intention to file a
Registration Statement or the effective date of such registration the Company
is
able to obtain a written opinion of its counsel that the Registrable Securities
are then saleable pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act.

3.
Registration
Procedures.
At such
time as the Company affects the registration of any of the Registrable
Securities, it shall (except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement):
(a)
Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement including the
Registrable Securities, subject to the provisions of Section 2(c) and subject
to
the Company’s right to withdraw the Registration Statement as provided in
Section 2(b), above, use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration
Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon
as
reasonably practicable after such filing, and shall maintain the effectiveness
of said Registration Statement for a minimum of six months following the
effective date thereof.
(b)
Promptly prepare and file with the Commission 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 for the period set forth in paragraph (a)
above.
(c)
The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities
are included in any Registration Statement unless filed with the Commission
through XXXXX, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and
filed
with the Commission, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any
amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all
documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, all
exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any
Registration Statement, one (1) copy of the prospectus included in such
Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such
other
number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other
documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such
Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
Investor.
(d)
Furnish to the Holder such numbers of copies of the Prospectus or any amendment
or supplement to any Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act, and such other documents, as the Holder may reasonably request
in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the securities
owned by the Holder.
(e)
Use
its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such Registration Statement under such other state securities or
Blue
Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders;
provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or
as a
condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions nor shall it be required
to incur expenses in excess of $1,500 in connection with any such registration
or qualification under such other state securities or Blue Sky
laws.
4
(f)
The
Company shall notify each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included
in
any Registration Statement in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly
as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the
prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
an
untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
(provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic
information), and, subject to Section 2(b), promptly prepare a supplement or
amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or
omission. The Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing (i)
when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
has
been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered
to
each Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of
any
request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement
or
related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company's reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would
be appropriate.
(g)
The
Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order
or
other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension
of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the
withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible date and to
notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance
of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of
the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(h)
Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(f) or 3(g), as promptly
as
practicable, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective
amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related
Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein
by
reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain
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, in light
of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(i)
If
required, use its best efforts to list such securities on any securities
exchange on which any securities of the Company are then listed, if the listing
of such securities is then permitted under the rules of such
exchange.
4. Obligations
of the Holders.
(a)
At
least ten (10) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of
a
Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of
the
information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects
to have any of such Investor's Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement, including by returning to the Company the Selling
Securityholder Notice and Questionnaire attached hereto as Annex A. It shall
be
a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the
registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable
Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the
Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held
by it
and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by
it
as shall be reasonably required to effect the effectiveness of the registration
of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection
with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
5
(b)
Each
Investor, by such Investor's acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees
to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection
with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless
such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor's election
to
exclude all of such Investor's Registrable Securities from such Registration
Statement.
(c)
Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or 3(g), such
Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities
until such Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 3(h) or receipt of notice that no supplement
or amendment is required.
(d)
Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom
in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement and all other federal and state securities and other laws applicable
to it in connection with any disposition of the Registrable
Securities.
6. Expenses
of Registration. All
reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred
in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections
2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and, subject
to Section 3(e), qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees
and
disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the
Company.
7. No
Delay of Registration.
No
Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or
otherwise delaying any registration of Registrable Securities as the result
of
any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or
implementation of Section 2 of this Agreement.
8. Assignment
of Registration Rights.
The
rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors
to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor's Registrable
Securities if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or
assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to
the
Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is,
within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with
written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee,
and
(b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being
transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment
the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is
restricted under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv)
at
or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by
clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with
the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v)
such
transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements
of
the Subscription Agreement and applicable federal and state securities
laws.
6
9. Reports
Under the Exchange Act.
With
a
view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the
Commission that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of
the
Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees
to:
(a)
make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined
in Rule 144;
(b) file
with the Commission in a timely manner all annual reports on Form 10-K, and
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q required of the Company under the Exchange Act
so
long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of
such
reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule
144; and
(c) furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly
upon written request, a written statement by the Company, if true, that it
has
complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and
the
Exchange Act.
10. Listing
of Common Stock.
Upon the
filing of the Registration Statement, the Company will use it commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Common Stock to be listed or admitted to
quotation on an exchange or over-the-counter trading facility. The Company
will
apprise Investors from time to time of the results of such efforts and promptly
notify Investors when the Common Stock is listed or admitted to quotation on
an
exchange or over-the-counter trading facility.
11. Indemnification.
In the
event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement
pursuant to this Agreement:
7
(a) To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does,
indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers,
members, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person,
if
any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or
the
Exchange Act (each, an "Indemnified Person"), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several
(collectively, "Claims"), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
any
action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from
the
foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other
regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether
or
not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto ("Indemnified Damages"),
to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions
or
proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out
of
or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a
material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment
thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other "blue sky" laws of any jurisdiction
in
which Registrable Securities are offered ("Blue Sky Filing"), or the omission
or
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented,
if
the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC)
or
the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary
to
make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which
the
statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other
law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or
regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this
Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being,
collectively, "Violations"). Subject to Section 11(c), the Company shall
reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and
are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred
by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 11(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by
an
Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for
use
in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such
amendment thereof or supplement thereto; and (ii) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the
prior
written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of
any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall
survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant
to
Section 8.
(b) In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is
participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify,
hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set
forth in Section 11(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers
who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls
the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each,
an
"Indemnified Party"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any
of
them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or
otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent,
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in
connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 11(c),
such
Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
an
Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim;
provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11(b)
and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 12 shall
not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected
without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not
be
unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor
shall be liable under this Section 11(b) for only that amount of a Claim or
Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as
a
result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless
of
any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall
survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant
to
Section 8.
8
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section
11 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person
or
Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any
indemnifying party under this Section 11, deliver to the indemnifying party
a
written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party
so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the
indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as
the
case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of
not
more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
to be
paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by
such
counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the
Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities
included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate reasonably with the
indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such
action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying
party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying
party
shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all
times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with
respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of
any
action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent,
provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold,
delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to
entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does
not
include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability
in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include
any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following
indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be
subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with
respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter
for
which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice
to
the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any
such
action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 11, except to the
extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such
action.
9
(d) The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause
of
action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against
the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying
party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
12. Contribution.
To
the
extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited
by
law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 11 to the
fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved
in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
in
connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities
shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller
from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement.
13. Miscellaneous
Provisions.

successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.
(c)
Owner
of Registrable Securities. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable

Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions,
notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable
Securities.
(d)
Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, and the observance of
any
term of this Agreement may be waived, but only with the written consent of
the
Company and the Holder; provided,
however,
that no
such amendment or waiver shall reduce or eliminate any registration right of
the
Holder of Registrable Securities or reduce the amount of reimbursable costs
to
the Holder or Registrable Securities in connection with any registration
hereunder without the consent of the Holder. No delay on the part of any party
in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party of any right, power or
remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy.
(e)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each
of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of
California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law
provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other
jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions
other than the State of California. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to

unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use

a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity,
or
create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or
as a
group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by
this

other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in enforcing its rights
under this Agreement. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect
and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out
of
this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be
joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. The Company
acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same
Registration Rights Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with
multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by
any
Investor.
