which (i) might prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
or (ii) if adversely resolved against the Company could adversely affect the
validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to
perform its obligations under, this Agreement, or would have a Material Adverse
Effect.
3.9 NASDAQ Listing. The Company's Common Stock is registered
pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act") and is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. National
Market (the "Nasdaq National Market"), and the Company has taken no action
designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of
the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or de-listing the Common Stock from the
Nasdaq National Market, nor to the Company's knowledge is the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") currently contemplating
terminating such listing. The Company and the Common Stock meet the criteria for
continued listing and trading on the Nasdaq National Market. The Company shall
use its best efforts to comply with all requirements of the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. with respect to the issuance of the Purchased Shares
and the listing thereof on the Nasdaq National Market. In furtherance thereof,
the Company shall use its best efforts to take such actions as may be necessary,
and as soon as practicable and in no event later than 30 days after the Closing
Date, to file with the Nasdaq National Market an application or other document
required by the Nasdaq National Market and pay within the required time period
all applicable fees for the listing of the Purchased Shares with the Nasdaq
National Market and shall provide evidence of such filing to the Investors. The
Company knows of no reason why the Purchased Shares will not be eligible for
listing on the Nasdaq National Market.
3.10 Exchange Act Filings. The Company has filed in a timely
manner all reports and other information required to be filed ("Filings") with
the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act during the preceding twelve calendar
months. On their respective dates of filing, the Filings complied in all
material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and the published
rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. On their
respective dates of filing, the Filings did not include any untrue statement of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading, and all financial statements contained in the Filings fairly present
the financial position of the Company on the dates of such statements and the
results of operations for the periods covered thereby in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the
periods involved and prior periods, except as otherwise indicated in the notes
to such financial statements.
3.11 Disclosure. The representations and warranties made by
the Company in this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) and the
Filings when read together do not
-4-
contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements herein as a whole not misleading.
3.12 Governmental Permits, Etc. The Company possesses all
licenses, franchises, governmental approvals, permits or other governmental
authorizations (collectively, "Authorizations") relating to the operation of the
Business, except for those Authorizations the failure of which to possess would
not, separately or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the
Company's knowledge after reasonable investigation, the Company is in compliance
with the terms of all Authorizations and all laws, ordinances, regulations and
decrees which to the Company's knowledge are applicable to the Business, except
for such non-compliance which does not, separately or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.
3.13 Insurance. The Company is covered by insurance with
companies the Company believes to be responsible and in such amounts and
covering such risks as it believes to be adequate for the conduct of its
Business and the value of its properties and as is customary for companies
engaged in similar businesses in similar industries. The Company has no
knowledge that any such carrier has grounds or intends to cancel or fail to
renew such policies.

patents, patent rights, licenses, inventions, copyrights, know-how (including
trade secrets and other unpatented and/or unpatentable proprietary or
confidential information, systems or procedures) and other rights or interests
in items of intellectual property that are material to the Business as operated
by it (the "Patent and Proprietary Rights"), except where the failure to own or
possess such rights would not have a Material Adverse Effect; the Company has
not received notice of any asserted rights with respect to any of the Patent and
Proprietary Rights which, if determined unfavorably with respect to the
interests of the Company would have a Material Adverse Effect; and the Company
has not received notice or is otherwise aware of any infringement of or conflict
with asserted rights of others with respect to any of the Patent or Proprietary
Rights, which infringement or conflict (if the subject of any unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding), individually or in the aggregate, would result in
a Material Adverse Effect.
3.15 Financial Statements. The financial statements of the
Company and the related notes thereto included in the Disclosure Documents
present fairly, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
financial position of the Company as of the dates indicated, and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the periods therein specified. Such financial
statements (including the related notes) have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis
throughout the periods therein specified, subject in the case of unaudited
financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments.
3.16 Internal Accounting Controls. The Company maintains a
system of internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the
Company's board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with
-5-
management's general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded

simple to all real property and personal property owned by it which is material
to the business of the Company, in each case free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, except for liens that do not materially affect the value of such
property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such
property by the Company or for equipment leases or operating leases entered into
in the ordinary course of the Company's business. Any real property and
facilities held under lease by the Company are held by it under valid,
subsisting and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as are not material and
do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and
facilities by the Company

Each Investor hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company,
that:
4.1 Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the
Investor and its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the
authorization, execution and delivery of, and the performance of all obligations
of the Investor under, this Agreement has been taken or will be taken prior to
the Closing, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding
obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with
its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) the effect of
rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.
4.2 Purchase for Own Account. The Purchased Shares to be
purchased by such Investor hereunder will be acquired for investment for such
Investor's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Act, and such
Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or
otherwise distributing the same. If not an individual, such Investor also
represents that such Investor has not been formed for the specific purpose of
acquiring Purchased Shares.
4.3 Disclosure of Information. The Investor has received a
copy of the Disclosure Documents and has received or has had full access to all
the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the Purchased Shares to be purchased by the
Investor under this Agreement. Investor further has had an opportunity to ask
questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and
conditions of the offering of the Purchased Shares and to obtain additional
information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could
acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any
information furnished to the Investor or to which the Investor had access. The
foregoing, however, does not in any way limit or modify the representations and
warranties made by the Company in Section 3.
-6-
4.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor understands that the
purchase of the Purchased Shares involves substantial risk. Such Investor: (i)
has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development
stage and acknowledges that such Investor is able to fend for itself, can bear
the economic risk of such Investor's investment in the Purchased Shares and has
such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that such
Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the
Purchased Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this
investment and/or (ii) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with
the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a
nature and duration that enables such Investor to be aware of the character,
business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.
4.5 Accredited Investor Status. Unless otherwise expressly
indicated on the Schedule of Investors to this Agreement, such Investor is an
"accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the
Act.
4.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the
Purchased Shares are characterized as "restricted securities" under the Act
inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not
involving a public offering and that under the Act and the Rules and Regulations
such securities may be resold without registration under the Act only in certain
limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that such
Investor is familiar with Rule 144 of the Commission and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.
4.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way
limiting the representations set forth above, such Investor further agrees not
to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Purchased Shares unless and
until:
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement
under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in
accordance with such registration statement and the provisions of Section 7 of
this Agreement; or
(b) (i) such Investor shall have notified the Company
of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii)
such Investor shall have furnished the Company, at the expense of such Investor
or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities
under the Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b)
above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required:
(i) for any routine transfer of any Purchased Shares in compliance with Rule 144
or Rule 144A (except that an opinion of counsel may be required for other than
routine Rule 144 transactions), or (ii) for any transfer of Purchased Shares by
an Investor that is a partnership, limited liability corporation ("LLC") or a
corporation to (A) a partner of such partnership, member of such LLC or
shareholder of such corporation, or (B) the estate of any such partner, member
or shareholder, or (iii) for the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession
by any Investor to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or
-7-
ancestors or any trust for any of the foregoing; provided, that in each of the
foregoing cases the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of
this Section 4 (other than Section 4.5) to the same extent as if the transferee
were an original Investor hereunder.
4.8 Legends. It is understood that the certificates evidencing
the Purchased Shares will bear the legends set forth below:
(a) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER
THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD
EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS,
PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT
THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN
INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT
ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(b) THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE
SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF, AND MAY HAVE CERTAIN REGISTRATION RIGHTS PURSUANT
TO, THE PROVISIONS OF A PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER,

OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED, WITHOUT CHARGE, AT THE COMPANY'S PRINCIPAL
OFFICE.
The legends set forth in (a) and (b) above shall, upon the request of
an Investor, be promptly removed by the Company from any certificate evidencing
Purchased Shares upon delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel to the
Investor, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that the legended security can
be freely transferred in a public sale without a registration statement being in
effect under the Act and in compliance with exemption requirements under
applicable state securities laws and that such transfer will not jeopardize the
exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued
the Purchased Shares; provided, however, that no such opinion shall be required
in connection with routine sales of Purchased Shares pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement (as defined below) or routine requests for legend removal
where the Purchased Shares can be sold by an Investor pursuant to the provisions
of Rule 144(k). In connection with any such opinion, the Investor shall provide
such certifications as may be reasonably be deemed necessary for the delivery of
such opinion.

effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (as defined below) directly or
indirectly offer, sell, contract or grant an option to sell, pledge, encumber,
or otherwise dispose of or otherwise transfer, or enter into any swap or other
arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
-8-
consequences of ownership of (whether any such transaction described above is to
be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or
otherwise) (a "Disposition"), any Purchased Shares (other than to donees,
shareholders or partners of the Investor who agree to be similarly bound), and
after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement the Investor will
not make any Disposition of Purchased Shares in violation of the Securities Act.

have such registration statement declared effective as soon as possible. Any
such registration statement shall be considered a "Shelf Registration Statement"
hereunder.
(b) Blackout Notice. In the event (i) that the
Company concludes that it is necessary for the Company to supplement the
Prospectus or make an appropriate filing under the Exchange Act so as to cause
the Prospectus to become current, or (ii) that, in the judgment of the
President, Chief Executive Officer or the Company's Board of Directors, it is
advisable to suspend use of the Prospectus for a discrete period of time due to
undisclosed pending corporate developments or pending public filings with the
Commission (which need not be described in detail), the Company shall deliver a
written notice (the "Blackout Notice") to the Holder to the effect of the
foregoing and, upon delivery of the Blackout Notice, the Holder shall not sell
any Purchased Shares or any other securities of the Company that are held by the
Holder, shall not otherwise engage in any other Disposition with respect to the
Company's securities, and shall not disclose to any third party that such a
notice has been given or the contents of the notice. Such restrictions on sale
of the Registrable Securities shall cease upon the Holder's receipt of copies of
the supplemented or amended Prospectus, or at such time as the Holder is advised
in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and at such time as
the Holder has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus and
which are required to be delivered as part of the Prospectus. In any event, such
restrictions shall terminate no later than 45 days after the date of delivery of
the Blackout Notice. If the Company has delivered a Blackout Notice within 90
days of the date that it delivers another Blackout Notice pursuant this section,
then the 45-day time period set forth in the preceding sentence shall be
shortened so that the restrictions imposed by the Blackout Notice shall expire
no later than 10 days after delivery of such Blackout Notice.
(c) Expenses. The registration fees and expenses
incurred by the Company in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement and
actions taken by the Company in connection with any Blackout Notice, including,
without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing
expenses, escrow fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue
sky fees and expenses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or
required by any such registration, shall be borne by the Company. Holder shall
be responsible for any fees and expenses of its counsel or other advisers.
7.3 Obligations of the Company. The Company shall furnish to
the Holder such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary
Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other
documents (including supplements or prospectus amendments) as the Holder may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition
of the Registrable Securities owned by it that are included in such
registration. In addition, whenever required to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as reasonably possible:
-12-
(a) Use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify
the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Holder, 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, (ii) to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so
long as the Shelf Registration Statement remains in effect, and (iii) to take
any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the
Holders to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities to
be sold by the Holders, consistent with the plan of distribution described in
the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, except that the
Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do
business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so
qualified, or to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or to
execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in
such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act or applicable rules
or regulations thereunder.
(b) Notify the Holder promptly (i) of any request by
the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority during the
period of effectiveness of a registration statement for amendments or
supplements to such registration statement or related prospectus or for
additional information, (ii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other
federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of a registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose and (iii) of 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.
(c) Make every reasonable effort to obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration
Statement at the earliest possible time.
(d) Use its best efforts to cause all Registrable
Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which
equity securities issued by the company are then listed.
7.4 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to
the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 7.2 that
the Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding it, the
Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of
such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of its
Registrable Securities.
7.5 Indemnification. For the purposes of this Section 7.5, the
term "registration statement" shall include any final Prospectus, exhibit,
supplement, amendment or other document included in, filed as part of, deemed to
be a part of, or otherwise relating to the Shelf Registration Statement referred
to in this Section 7. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
registration statement under this Agreement:
-13-
(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law,
the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, the officers and
directors, trustees, each person, if any, who controls the Holder and any
underwriter for each (as defined in the Act) (such persons and entities referred
to as "Holder Indemnified Parties"), against any losses, expenses, damages or
liabilities (including in settlement of any claim) to which they may become
subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law (a
"Loss"), insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of any
claim, action or proceeding brought by a third party arising out of or based
upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a
"Violation"):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in a registration statement,
filed pursuant to this Section 7;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in a
registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 7 a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading; or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state
securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law,
in each case in connection with the offering covered by such
registration statement;
(iv) any failure by the Company to fulfill any
undertaking included in a registration statement;
(v) any material breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant made by the Company in this Agreement;
and the Company will reimburse each Holder Indemnified Party for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with
investigating or defending or settling, compromising or paying an award granted
in any proceeding relating to any such Violation; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any such Loss, if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Company, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any
such Loss to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
expressly for use in connection with such registration statement by the Holder
Indemnified Party; and provided further, that the Company will not be liable for
the reasonable legal fees and expenses of more than one counsel to the Holder
Indemnified Parties.
(b) By the Holder. To the extent permitted by law,
each Holder (severally and not jointly with any other Holder) will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have
signed the registration statement, and each
-14-
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act (such
persons and entities referred to as "Company Indemnified Parties") against any
Losses to which such Company Indemnified Parties may become subject under the
Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such Losses (or
actions in respect thereto) 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 by the Holder
expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and the Holder
will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company
Indemnified Parties in connection with investigating or defending any such
Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
subsection shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss if
such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder; provided further,
that the Holder shall not be liable for the reasonable legal fees and expenses
of more than one counsel to the Company Indemnified Parties; and provided
further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by the Holder under this
subsection in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds
received by the Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation
arises.
(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action (including
any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim for
indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party
under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement of such an action 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 the defense
thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably
acceptable to a majority in interest of the indemnified parties; provided,
however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if the indemnified party has been advised in writing by counsel that
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual conflict of interests
between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel
in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying
party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall
relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this
Section to the extent such delay caused material prejudice to the indemnified
party, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section.
(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus. The
foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and the Holder are subject to the
condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary
prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the
Commission at the time the registration statement in question becomes effective
or in the amended prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)
of the Commission (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity agreements shall not
inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was
furnished in a timely manner to the indemnified party and was not furnished to
the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the
time such action is required by the Act.
-15-
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this
Section 7.5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the
one hand and the Holder on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether
the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one
hand or a Holder on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement. The Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro
rata allocation (even if all Holders were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account
the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above
in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
subsection (e), no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess
of the net amount received by the Holder from the sale of the Shares. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Contribution (together with any
indemnification or other obligations under this Agreement) by any Holder
(including any Indemnified Person associated with such Holder) shall be limited
in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of
the Registrable Securities
(f) Survival. The obligations of the Company and the
Holder under this Section shall survive the completion of any offering of
Registrable Securities in a registration statement, and otherwise.
7.6 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the
benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission, which may at any
time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without
registration, for a period of two years following the Closing Date, the Company
agrees to:
(a) Make and keep adequate, current public
information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144
under the Act, at all times;
(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
-16-
(c) So long as the Holder owns any Registrable
Securities, to furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written statement
by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule
144, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and
such other reports and documents of the Company as the Holder may reasonably
request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing
a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.
7.7 Termination of Cellegy's Obligations. The Company shall
have no obligation to register, or maintain, a registration statement governing
Registrable Securities and the restrictive legend described in Section 4.8 will
be removed from any certificate representing the Purchased Shares, (i) if all
Registrable Securities have been registered and sold pursuant to registrations
effected pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) with respect to any particular
Holder, at such time as all Registrable Securities held by such Holder may be
sold without any volume restrictions within a three month period under Rule 144,
as it may be amended from time to time, including but not limited to amendments
that reduce that period of time that securities must be held before such
securities may be sold pursuant to such rule.
7.8 Piggyback Registrations. (a) The Company shall use its
best efforts to notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least
twenty (20) days before filing any registration statement under the Act for
purposes of effecting an underwritten public offering by the Company of
securities of the Company (excluding registration statements relating to any
employee benefit plan or a corporate merger, acquisition or reorganization, or
any Form S-3 or similar shelf registration statements relating to the
non-underwritten offer and sale of securities for the account of persons or
entities other than the Company) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity
to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable
Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such
registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by
such Holder shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of the above-described
notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice
shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder
wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to
include all of its Registrable Securities in any such registration statement
filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right
to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement
or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to
offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
The Holders' rights to include any Registrable Securities in any offering under
this Section are subject in all events to the ability of the managing
underwriter for such offering to exclude some or all of the Registrable
Securities requested to be registered on the basis of a good faith determination
that inclusion of such securities might adversely affect the success of the
offering or otherwise adversely affect the Company. Any such exclusion shall be
pro rata among all Holders who have requested to sell Registrable Securities in
such registration.
(b) Underwriting. If a registration statement under
which the Company gives notice under this Section is for an underwritten
offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable
Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder's Registrable Securities
to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section shall be conditioned
upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such
-17-
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 managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting and
shall furnish such information and documents as the Company or the managing
underwriter or underwriters may reasonably request. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter determine(s) in good
faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude Registrable
Securities from the registration and the underwriting, pro rata among all
Holders who have requested to sell Registrable Securities in such registration.
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.
(c) Expenses. The Holders shall be responsible for
their pro rata share of registration fees and underwriters' and brokers'
discounts and commissions relating to any Registrable Securities included in
such registration. Other registration expenses (such as legal and accounting
fees of counsel to the Company, printing fees, road show expenses, and the like)
shall be shall be borne by the Company.
(d) Number of Piggyback Registrations. The piggyback
registration rights granted to the Holders under this Section shall apply to the
first three registrations filed by the Company after the Closing.
8. ASSIGNMENT. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
registration rights of the Holder under Section 7 hereof may be assigned only to
a party who acquires from the Holder at least 100,000 shares of Registrable
Securities (as such number may be adjusted to reflect subdivisions, combinations
and stock dividends of the Company's Common Stock), (such party is referred to
as a "Assignee"); provided, however, that (w) no party may be assigned any of
the foregoing rights until the Company is given written notice by the assigning
party at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of the
Assignee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in
question are being assigned; (x) that any such Assignee shall receive such
assigned rights subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
(y) no such assignment or assignments shall increase the obligations of the
Company hereunder.
-18-
