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 this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by
the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company
from selling the Securities 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

UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR IF APPLICABLE,
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE

EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS WARRANT OR THE
UNDERLYING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY

The Purchaser covenants and agrees with the Company as follows:
5.8 SECURITY INTEREST. Purchaser agrees to terminate its security
interest in the assets, as fully described in the Security Agreement between the
Company and Purchaser of even date herewith (the "SECURITY AGREEMENT"), upon the
Company tendering the final payment in satisfaction of the obligations as
defined in the Security Agreement. Purchaser agrees to join with the Company in
executing termination statements and other instruments pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted and in effect from time to time in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts in form satisfactory to the Company and in executing such other
documents or instruments as may be required or deemed necessary by the Company
for purposes of terminating the security interest in the collateral.
5.9 PROSPECTUS. Purchaser shall furnish copies of the prospectus in
connection with a public sale or disposition of the Common Stock.
5.10 PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATE. When Purchaser elects to convert
shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 8 below, Purchaser shall
surrender the Preferred Stock Certificate upon receipt of a credit to the
account of the Purchaser's prime broker through the DWAC system (as defined
below), representing the Conversion Shares or upon complete satisfaction of the
Preferred Stock.
5.11 CERTAIN TRADING RESTRICTIONS. Purchaser agrees that, as long as
it holds any shares of Preferred Stock, neither it nor any of its Affiliates
shall enter into any Short Sales (as defined herein). For purposes of this
Section 5.11, a "SHORT SALE" shall mean a sale of Common Stock by Purchaser that
would be required to be marked as a "short sale" by the broker executing the
sale pursuant to the provisions of Rules 10a-1(c) and 10a-1(d)(1) under the
13
Exchange Act if such rules applied to the sale (whether or not they in fact
apply to the sale), and that is made at a time when immediately after the sale,
and giving effect to all other sales by the Purchaser, there would be no
equivalent offsetting long position in Common Stock held by Purchaser. For the
purpose of determining under this Section 5.11 whether there is an equivalent
offsetting long position in Common Stock held by Purchaser, only those
Conversion Shares that are (i) issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock
for which a conversion notice has been delivered by Purchaser on or prior to a
trading day or (ii) issuable as a result of the delivery by the Company of a
Repayment Election Notice, as defined in the Certificate of Vote of Directors,
shall be deemed to be held long by Purchaser on such trading day.
5.12 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Purchaser will timely file with the SEC
all reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act. Purchaser will
timely respond timely, accurately and completely to any inquiry by the SEC,
NASD, or any stock exchange upon which the Company maintains a listing, relating
to the offering.
6. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees with the
Purchaser as follows:
6.1 STOP-ORDERS. The Company will advise the Purchaser, promptly
after it receives notice of issuance by the SEC, any state securities commission
or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of any order preventing
or suspending any offering of any securities of the Company, or of the
suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the Company for offering
or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such
purpose.
6.2 LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and upon
the exercise of the Warrant on the Pink Sheets, the NASD OTC Bulletin Board,
NASDAQ SmallCap Market, NASDAQ National Market, American Stock Exchange or New
York Stock Exchange (the "PRINCIPAL MARKET") upon which shares of Common Stock
are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such
listing so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The
Company will maintain the listing of its Common Stock on a Principal Market, and
will comply in all material respects with the Company's reporting, filing and
other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the National Association of
Securities Dealers ("NASD") and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company will
provide the Purchaser copies of all notices it receives notifying the Company of
the threatened and actual delisting of the Common Stock from any Principal
Market.
6.3 MARKET REGULATIONS. The Company shall notify the SEC, NASD and
applicable state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary
action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule
and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to Purchaser
and promptly provide copies thereof to Purchaser.
6.4 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. The Company will timely file with the
SEC all reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and refrain
from terminating its status as an issuer required by the Exchange Act to file
reports thereunder even if the Exchange
14
Act or the rules or regulations thereunder would permit such termination. In
addition, within 20 days after the end of each calendar month, the Company will
provide to the Purchaser a monthly cash flow statement, balance sheet and income
statement for the immediately preceding month. Purchaser understands that the
provision of the information described herein may constitute material non-public
information and such information will only be provided upon the execution by
Purchaser of a confidentiality agreement.
6.5 USE OF FUNDS. The Company agrees that it will use the proceeds
of the sale of the Preferred Stock and Warrant for general corporate purposes
only, in the ordinary course of its business and consistent with past practice
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not use such
proceeds to make a loan to any employee, officer, director or stockholder of the
Company, to repay any loan or other obligation of the Company or to repurchase
or pay a dividend on shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company
(in any such case, regardless of whether such loan or payment was authorized by
the Company's Board of Directors prior to the date hereof), other than any such
repurchase or payment explicitly required, permitted or contemplated by the
terms of this Agreement or the other Related Agreements.
6.6 ACCESS TO FACILITIES. The Company will permit any
representatives designated by the Purchaser (or any transferee of the
Purchaser), so long as such person holds any Securities upon reasonable notice
and during normal business hours, at such person's expense and accompanied by a
representative of the Company, to (a) visit and inspect any of the properties of
the Company, (b) examine the corporate and financial records of the Company
(unless such examination is not permitted by federal, state or local law or by
contract) and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom and (c) discuss the
affairs, finances and accounts of any such corporations with the directors,
officers and independent accountants of the Company.
6.7 TAXES. The Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to
be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or
business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment,
charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have
set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided,
further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or
levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien
which may have attached as security therefor.
6.8 INSURANCE. The Company will keep its assets which are of an
insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against
loss or damage by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against by
companies in the Company's line of business, in amounts sufficient to prevent
the Company from becoming a co-insurer and not in any event less than 100% of
the insurable value of the property insured; and the Company will maintain, with
financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance against other hazards and
risks and liability to persons and property to the extent and in the manner
customary for companies in similar businesses similarly situated and to the
extent available on commercially reasonable terms.
15
6.9 BOOKS AND RECORDS. The Company will keep true records and books
of account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings
or transactions in relation to its business and affairs in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
Purchaser understands that the provision of the information described herein may
constitute material non-public information and such information will only be
provided upon the execution by Purchaser of a confidentiality agreement.
6.10 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. The Company shall maintain in full force
and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and all licenses and
other rights to use Intellectual Property owned or possessed by it and
reasonably deemed to be necessary to the conduct of its business.
6.11 CONFIDENTIALITY. The Company agrees that it will not disclose,
and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the Purchaser,
unless expressly agreed to by the Purchaser or unless and until such disclosure
is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the extent of such
requirement.
6.12 CORPORATE EXISTENCE. The Company shall maintain its corporate
existence, and will not liquidate, dissolve or effect a recapitalization,
reclassification or reorganization in any form of transaction. In addition, the
Company shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company's assets, except
in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the Company's assets, where the surviving or successor
entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company's obligations hereunder and
the Related Agreements and (ii) is a publicly traded company whose common stock
is quoted or listed on a Principal Market or (iii) simultaneously with the
consummation of such transaction irrevocably pays in full all of the obligations
due and owing to Purchaser from the Company under this Agreement and/or the
Securities.
6.13 REISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. The Company agrees to reissue
certificates representing the Securities without the legends set forth in
Section 5.7 above at such time as (a) the holder thereof has disposed of such
Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act,
or (b) upon resale subject to an effective registration statement after such
Securities are registered under the Securities Act. The Company agrees to
cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with all resales pursuant to Rule
144(d) and Rule 144(k) and provide legal opinions necessary to allow such
resales provided the Company and its counsel receive reasonably requested
representations from the selling Purchaser and broker, if any.
6.14 OPINION. On the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to the
Purchaser an opinion acceptable to the Purchaser from the Company's legal
counsel in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C. The Company will provide, at
the Company's expense, such other legal opinions in the future as are reasonably
necessary for the conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the
Warrants.
6.15 FINANCING RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. The Company hereby grants the
Purchaser a right of first refusal to enter into a financing arrangement with
the Company. The
16
Company shall submit a fully executed term sheet setting out the terms,
conditions and pricing of any proposed financing (such financing to be
negotiated on "arm's length" terms) to be entered into by the Company. Purchaser
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer financing, to the Company
on terms no less favorable than those outlined in the previously negotiated term
sheet (which such term sheet shall be negotiated in good faith) within five
business days of receipt of such proposed term sheet. If the provisions of the
Purchaser's term sheet shall be at least as favorable to the Company, the
Company shall enter into the financing arrangement outlined in the Purchaser's
term sheet. If the Purchaser declines to exercise it right of first refusal
hereunder, it hereby agrees to enter into such documentation as shall be
reasonably requested by Company in order to subordinate its rights hereunder or
under the Preferred Stock to the subsequent financier.
7. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND PURCHASER REGARDING INDEMNIFICATION.
7.1 COMPANY INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, reimburse and defend Purchaser, each of Purchaser's officers,
directors, agents, affiliates, control persons, and principal shareholders,
against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage
(including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the
Purchaser which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any
misrepresentation by Company or breach of any warranty by Company in this
Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or any Related
Agreement, or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Company of any
covenant or undertaking to be performed by Company hereunder, or any other
agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser relating hereto.
7.2 PURCHASER'S INDEMNIFICATION. Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless, reimburse and defend the Company and each of the Company's officers,
directors, agents, affiliates, control persons and principal shareholders, at
all times against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or
damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed
upon the Company which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any
misrepresentation by Purchaser or breach of any warranty by Purchaser in this
Agreement or in any exhibits or schedules attached hereto or any Related
Agreement; or (ii) any breach or default in performance by Purchaser of any
covenant or undertaking to be performed by Purchaser hereunder, or any other
agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser relating hereto.
7.3 PROCEDURES. The procedures and limitations set forth in Section
9.6 shall apply to the indemnifications set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above.
8. CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK.
8.1 MECHANICS OF CONVERSION.
(a) Provided the Purchaser has notified the Company of the
Purchaser's intention to sell the Conversion Shares and the Conversion Shares
are included in an effective registration statement or are otherwise exempt from
registration when sold: (i) Upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock or part
thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and
17
expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance of an opinion of
counsel) to assure that the Company's transfer agent shall issue the Conversion
Shares in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee) or such other persons as
designated by the Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.1(b) hereof and in such
denominations to be specified representing the number of Conversion Shares
issuable upon such conversion; and (ii) the Company warrants that no
instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the
transfer agent of the Company's Common Stock and that after the Effective Date
(as hereinafter defined) the Conversion Shares issued will be freely
transferable subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act and the provisions of this Agreement, and will not contain a legend
restricting the resale or transferability of the Conversion Shares, other than
as required by law.
(b) Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its
right to convert the Preferred Stock or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise
delivering an executed and completed notice of the number of shares to be
converted to the Company (the "NOTICE OF CONVERSION"). The Purchaser will not be
required to surrender the Preferred Stock Certificate until the Purchaser
receives a credit to the account of the Purchaser's prime broker through the
DWAC system (as defined below), representing the Conversion Shares or until the
Preferred Stock has been fully satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of
Conversion is telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the
provisions hereof shall be deemed a "CONVERSION DATE." The Company will cause
the transfer agent to transmit the Conversion Shares (and a certificate
representing the balance of the Preferred Stock not so converted, if requested
by Purchaser) to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser's prime
broker with the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission ("DWAC") system within three (3) business days after receipt by
the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the "DELIVERY DATE").
(c) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the
Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 8 hereof beyond the
Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. In the event that
the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Conversion Shares
to the Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section
8.1(b) above and the Conversion Shares are not delivered to the Purchaser by the
Delivery Date through any act or failure to act on the part of the Company, as
compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late
payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of the Conversion Shares in the form
required pursuant to Section 8 hereof upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in
the amount equal to the greater of (i) $500 per business day after the Delivery
Date or (ii) the Purchaser's actual damages from such delayed delivery. The
Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand and, in the case of actual damages, accompanied by
reasonable documentation of the amount of such damages. Such documentation shall
show the number of shares of Common Stock the Purchaser is forced to purchase
(in an open market transaction) which the Purchaser anticipated receiving upon
such conversion, and shall be calculated as the amount by which (A) the
Purchaser's total purchase price (including customary brokerage commissions, if
any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate
Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Vote of Directors) and/or
dividend amount of the Preferred Stock, for which such Conversion Notice was not
timely honored.
18
(d) Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to
herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or
require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the
maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or
dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum
amount permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be
credited against amounts owed by the Company to a Purchaser and thus refunded to
the Company.
8.2 MAXIMUM CONVERSION. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to
convert on a Conversion Date that amount of the Preferred Stock in connection
with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum
of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser
on a Conversion Date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the
determination of this proviso is being made on a Conversion Date, which would
result in beneficial ownership by the Purchaser of more than 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date.
Subject to the foregoing, a Purchaser shall not be limited to aggregate
conversions of only 4.99%. A Purchaser may void the conversion limitation
described in this Section 8.2 upon 75 days prior notice to the Company. Upon an
Event of Default under the Preferred Stock, the conversion limitation in this
Section 8.2 shall automatically become null and void. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company has elected to make a payment of a Monthly Amount (as
defined in the Certificate of Vote of Directors) in shares of Common Stock and
such issuance would cause Purchaser's beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99%, then
Purchaser shall be required to sell that number of shares of Common Stock that
it beneficially owns in order to permit the Company to make a payment of a
Monthly Amount in shares of Common Stock. Beneficial ownership shall be
determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation
13d-3 thereunder.
8.3 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Company will have the option of
redeeming any outstanding Stated Value of the Preferred Stock ("OPTIONAL
REDEMPTION") by paying to the Purchaser 130% of such amount, together with
accrued but unpaid dividends thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or
payable to the Purchaser arising under this Agreement, Certificate of Vote of
Directors or any other document delivered herewith ("REDEMPTION AMOUNT")
outstanding on the day notice of redemption ("NOTICE OF REDEMPTION") is
delivered to a Purchaser ("REDEMPTION DATE"). A Notice of Redemption may not be
given in connection with any portion of Preferred Stock for which a Notice of
Conversion has been given by the Purchaser at any time before receipt of a
Notice of Redemption or given pursuant to the following sentence. The Redemption
Amount must be paid in immediately available funds to the Purchaser no later
than the seventh (7th) business day after the Redemption Date ("OPTIONAL
REDEMPTION PAYMENT DATE"). In the event the Company fails to pay the Redemption
Amount by the Optional Redemption Payment Date, then the Redemption Notice will
be null and void. A Notice of Redemption may be given by the Company, provided
no Event of Default as described in the Certificate of Vote of Directors shall
have occurred or be continuing.
9. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
9.1 REGISTRATION RIGHTS GRANTED. The Company hereby grants the
following registration rights to holders of the securities purchased hereby.
19
(a) The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to
file a Form S-3 registration statement (or such other form that it is eligible
to use) in order to register the Conversion Shares and Preferred Shares (the
"REGISTRABLE SECURITIES") for resale and distribution under the Securities Act
with the SEC by the later to occur of October 15 , 2003 and two days after the
Company files its report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003
with the SEC (the "FILING DATE"), and use its reasonable commercial efforts to
cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 90 days of the
Filing Date (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"). The Company will register (a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to cover full conversion of the Preferred Stock
and the Warrant) 470,000 shares of Common Stock in the aforedescribed
registration statement. The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set
aside exclusively for the benefit of the Purchaser and the holders of the
Warrant, as the case may be, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone
other than the Purchaser and the holders of the Warrant. If the closing price of
the Common Stock is less than $3.00 per share for five (5) consecutive trading
days, then such registration statement will be promptly amended or additional
registration statements will be promptly filed by the Company as necessary to
register additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to allow the public
resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable
Securities. No securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities
will be included in the registration statement described in this Section 9.1(a).
9.2 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. If and whenever the Company is required
by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any shares of Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as
possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with
respect to such securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution
contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), and promptly provide to
the holders of Registrable Securities copies of all filings and SEC letters of
comment;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective
until the later of: (i) six months after the latest exercise period of the
Warrants; or (ii) four years after the Closing Date, and comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with
the Seller's intended method of disposition set forth in such registration
statement for such period;
(c) furnish to the Seller, and to each underwriter if any, such
number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included
therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may
request to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities
covered by such registration statement;
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Seller's
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the
securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as the Seller and in the
case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter shall
reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such
20
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 such registration
statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company
is then listed;
(f) immediately notify the Seller and each underwriter under
such registration statement 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 Seller, any underwriter
participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and
any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Seller or underwriter,
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 seller, underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement.
9.3 PROVISION OF DOCUMENTS. In connection with each registration
hereunder, the Purchaser will furnish to the Company in writing such information
and representation letters with respect to itself and the proposed distribution
by it as reasonably shall be necessary in order to assure compliance with
federal and applicable state securities laws.
9.4 NON-REGISTRATION EVENTS. If (i) the registration statement on
Form S-3 or such other form as described in Section 9.1(a) is not filed on or
before the Filing Date or not declared effective on or before the sooner of the
Effective Date, or within three business days of receipt by the Company of a
communication from the SEC that the registration statement described in Section
9.1(a) will not be reviewed, or (iii) if the registration statement described in
Section 9.1(a) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be
effective (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 but not more than 20 consecutive calendar days
(defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration
Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred to in this Section
9.4 is referred to herein as a "NON-REGISTRATION EVENT"), then, for so long as
such Non-Registration Event shall continue, the Company shall pay in cash as
Liquidated Damages to each holder of any Registrable Securities an amount equal
to one percent (1%) per month (prorated accordingly for parts thereof) during
the pendency of such Non-Registration Event of the Stated Value of the Preferred
Stock issued in connection with the Offering, whether or not converted, then
owned of record by such holder or issuable as of or subsequent to the occurrence
of such Non-Registration Event, but no in even more than 130% the unpaid Stated
Value of the Preferred Stock. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section shall
be due and payable immediately upon demand in
21
immediately available funds. It shall be deemed a Non-Registration Event to the
extent that all the Common Stock included in the Registrable Securities and
underlying the Securities is not included in an effective registration statement
as of and after the Effective Date at the conversion prices in effect from and
after the Effective Date. Failure by the Company to pay the Liquidated Damages
as and when due shall be deemed an Event of Default for the purposes of this
Section 9.4.
9.5 EXPENSES. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with
Section 9, 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 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 up to $2,500 in disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the
Seller, and costs of insurance are called "REGISTRATION EXPENSES". All
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of
Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special
counsel to the Seller beyond those included in Registration Expenses, are called
"SELLING EXPENSES."
The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection
with the registration statement under Section 9. All Selling Expenses in
connection with each registration statement under Section 9 shall be borne by
the Seller and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number
of shares sold by the Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such
registration statement or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
9.6 INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities
under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 9, the Company will indemnify and
hold harmless each Seller, each officer of each Seller, each director of each
Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each
other person, if any, who controls any such Seller or underwriter within the
meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or
controlling person 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 was registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 9, any 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
Seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or
other expenses reasonably 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 any such Seller, the
underwriter or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in
such registration statement or prospectus.
22
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable
Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 9, the Seller will
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the
Company who signs the registration statement and each director of the Company,
against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Company or such officer or director 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 the registration
statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 9, any 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 officer or director for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or
defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however,
that the Seller will be liable hereunder 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 made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to
such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller
specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided,
further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to
the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is
equal to the proportion that the public offering price of the Registrable
Securities sold by the Seller under such registration statement bears to the
total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any
event to exceed the net proceeds received by the Seller from the sale of
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder,
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 9.6(c) and shall only
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under
this Section 9.6(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 reasonably
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 9.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected,
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 parties
shall
23
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 Seller, or any controlling person of the Seller, makes a claim
for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.6 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 9.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii)
contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Seller
or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification
is provided under this Section 9.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and
the Seller 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 Seller 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 Seller 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
Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
10. OFFERING RESTRICTIONS. Except as previously disclosed in the SEC
Reports or stock or stock options granted to employees or directors of the
Company; or equity or debt issued in connection with an acquisition of a
business or assets by the Company; or the issuance by the Company of stock in
connection with the establishment of a joint venture partnership or licensing
arrangement (these exceptions hereinafter referred to as the "EXCEPTED
ISSUANCES"), the Company will not issue any securities with a floorless
variable/floating conversion feature, otherwise known as a "floorless
convertible security" which are or could be (by conversion or registration)
free-trading securities prior to the repayment in full or conversion in full of
the Preferred Stock.
11. SECURITY INTEREST. As a condition of Closing, the Company will
grant to the Purchaser a security interest in its assets pursuant to a Security
Agreement. The Company will also execute all such documents reasonably necessary
to memorialize and further protect the security interest described above.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against
the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be
brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in
the state of New York; provided, however that the Purchaser may
24
choose to waive this provision and bring an action outside the state of New
York. Both parties and the individuals executing this Agreement and other
agreements on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such
courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs. In the
event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in
connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or
rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that
it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such
statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or
unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any other provision of any agreement.
12.2 SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made herein shall survive any investigation made by the Purchaser and
the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby. All statements as to
factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or
on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the
Company hereunder solely as of the date of such certificate or instrument.
12.3 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding
upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the
parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each
person who shall be a holder of the Securities from time to time.
12.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules
hereto, the Related Agreements and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto
constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties
with regard to the subjects hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any
other in any manner by any representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
except as specifically set forth herein and therein.
12.5 SEVERABILITY. In case any provision of the Agreement shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(a) This Agreement may be amended or modified only upon the
written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.
(b) The obligations of the Company and the rights of the
holders of the Securities under the Agreement may be waived only with the
written consent of such holders of Securities. The rights of the holder of
Preferred Stock may be waived only with the written consent of such holder.
12.7 DELAYS OR OMISSIONS. It is agreed that no delay or omission to
exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach,
default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement or the Related
Agreements, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be
construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any
acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or
25
noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver,
permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the Purchaser's part of
any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement, the Preferred Stock
or the Related Agreements or any waiver on such party's part of any provisions
or conditions of the Agreement, the Certificate of Vote of Directors or the
Related Agreements must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent

instituted to enforce any provision in this Agreement, the prevailing party in
such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees, costs
and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing party under or with
respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, such reasonable fees
and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without
limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.
