5
(o) Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has filed all necessary federal, state and foreign income and franchise tax returns, except where the failure to so file such returns would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid all taxes shown as due thereon.

(p) None of the Company or the Subsidiaries is, or immediately after the Closing Date will be, required to register as an “investment company” or a company “controlled by” an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

(s) Except as set forth in the Disclosure Documents, there is no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or work stoppage with the employees of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries which is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, threatened.
(t) The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and in such amounts that are reasonably prudent and comparable to other companies of its size and similar business.

(c) This Agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of both parties.
6. Rescission Right.
(a) If, prior to December 26, 2003 (the “Rescission Deadline”), the Nasdaq Stock Market determines that stockholder approval is required for the issuance of any of the Securities, and notifies the Company of such determination in writing, the sale of up to 600,000 of the Shares (the “Rescission Shares”) and the Warrants sold or issued hereunder may be rescinded, at the Company’s sole option, and the Purchase Price paid by the Purchasers for such Rescission Shares shall be immediately refunded to the Purchaser. The exact number of Rescission Shares that may be repurchased, up to a maximum of 600,000 Shares, shall be the minimum number of shares necessary to satisfy the Nasdaq Stock Market that no stockholder approval is necessary in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Purchasers.
(b) Any rescission effected pursuant to this Section 6 shall be made on a pro rata basis among the Purchasers in proportion to the number of Shares then held by them. This Rescission Right shall be exercisable by giving written notice to each Purchaser in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 12 below (the “Rescission Notice”), and to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, which notice shall indicate (1) the exact number of Rescission Shares to be rescinded, (2) the aggregate price to be refunded to the Purchaser for the Rescission Shares to be rescinded (the “Rescission Price”), and (3) the date on which such rescission is to be effected, such date to not be more than eight (8) days after the date of the Rescission Notice (the “Rescission Date”).
(c) In the event of such a rescission, the Purchaser shall surrender its right to the Rescission Shares and the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive payment of the Rescission Price. The Company shall promptly direct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchasers, out of the funds which have been deposited in escrow with the Escrow Agent, the Rescission Price for the Rescission Shares. In the event of a rescission for less that the maximum number of Rescission Shares, the Company shall promptly issue a new certificate or certificates representing the balance of the Shares not rescinded, and the balance of the funds held in escrow shall be forwarded to the Company by the Escrow Agent.
(d) Notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any such shares so called for rescission shall not have been surrendered, such Rescission Shares shall be cancelled and shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, the Purchaser shall cease to be a stockholder with respect to such Rescission Shares, and all rights whatsoever with respect to such Rescission Shares (except for the right of the holders thereof to receive the Rescission Price without interest upon surrender of their certificates) shall terminate.
11
(e) In order to enforce the Rescission Right as set forth in this Section 6, the Company may further impose stop-transfer instructions on the Shares.
(f) If the Company exercises its Rescission Right pursuant to this Section 6, the Warrants shall be cancelled in their entirety and shall not be exercisable pursuant to their terms. In this event, the Company hereby agrees to issue to the Purchasers as of the Rescission Date warrants to purchase up to one (1) share of Common Stock for every four (4) Shares purchased hereunder and not so rescinded (the “Replacement Warrants”), which Replacement Warrants shall be in substantially the same form as the Warrants, except that the exercise price per share thereof shall be equal to the market price of the Common Stock, such market price to equal the five day average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock as of the Closing Date or as otherwise calculated in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market so that no stockholder approval is required for the issuance of the Replacement Warrants. The Company shall promptly deliver to Purchasers any such Replacement Warrants at the address set forth on the signature page hereto.
7. Registration.
(a) As promptly as possible, and in any event on or prior to thirty (30) days from the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all of the Shares and the Warrant Shares (the “Registrable Securities”) for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415; provided, however, that the above-referenced deadline shall be extended for any period of time for which the Company is unable to file the Registration Statement solely due to the failure of any of the Purchasers to provide the information regarding the Registration Statement reasonably requested by the Company. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form and shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Purchasers or the Commission) the “Plan of Distribution” in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the 120 days from the Closing Date, but the Company shall not be liable for any damages should such effectiveness be delayed by reason of the SEC review process or by failure of the Purchaser to provide information regarding the Registration Statement reasonably requested by the Company. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the second anniversary of the Effective Date or such earlier date when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold (the “Effectiveness Period”). If the Company receives notification from the Commission that the Registration Statement will receive no action or review from the Commission, then the Company will request that the Registration Statement become effective within five (5) trading days after such notification. The Company shall notify each Purchaser as promptly as possible (and in any event within one (1) trading day) after receiving notification from the Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared effective.
12
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may, by written notice to the Purchasers, suspend sales under a Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that the Purchasers immediately cease the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto and/or defer the filing of any subsequent Registration Statement if the Company is engaged in a material merger, acquisition or sale and the Board of Directors determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such sales activity it would be materially detrimental to the Company (other than relating solely to the price of the Common Stock). Upon receipt of such notice, each Purchaser shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration until such Purchaser has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or until such Purchaser is advised in writing by the Company that the then-current prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such prospectus. In no event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend sales beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination of the Company’s Board of Directors) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to the Company. Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section, the Company shall take all necessary actions (including filing any required supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and the ability of the Purchasers to publicly resell their Registrable Securities pursuant to such effective Registration Statement.
(d) The Company shall not, prior to the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering solely for the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, except that the Company may file a registration statement on its own account if all of the Registrable Securities are included in such registration statement or may file any amendments or supplements to any of its previously filed and effective registration statements if deemed appropriate, advisable or necessary by the Company’s counsel, provided that no additional previously unregistered securities are included in such amendments or supplements.
8. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a) Prior to the filing of the Registration Statement or any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall (i) furnish to each Purchaser and any one counsel designated by the Purchaser (“Purchaser Counsel”) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference), which documents will be subject to the review of such Purchaser and Purchaser Counsel, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser Counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto to which Purchasers holding a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith.
13
(b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible, and in any event within twenty (20) trading days, to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, and as promptly as reasonably possible provide the Purchasers, upon request, true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Purchasers thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such prospectus as so supplemented.
(c) Notify the Purchasers of Registrable Securities as promptly as reasonably possible, and, if requested by any such Purchaser, confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) trading day thereafter, of any of the following events: (i) the Commission comments in writing on any Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, if requested, a copy of such comments and of all written responses thereto); (ii) any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment is declared effective; (iii) the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority requests any amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement or prospectus or requests additional information related thereto; (iv) the Commission issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any proceedings for that purpose; (v) the Company receives notice of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction; or (vi) the financial statements included in any Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in any Registration Statement or prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference is untrue in any material respect or any revision to a Registration Statement, prospectus or other document is required so that it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
(e) Furnish to each Purchaser, upon request, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules and all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Purchaser, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Purchaser (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission.
14
(f) Promptly deliver to each Purchaser, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus or prospectuses and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Purchasers may reasonably request in connection with resales by the Purchaser of the Registrable Securities. The Company hereby consents to the use of such prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Purchasers in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.
(g) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Purchasers and the Purchaser Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Purchaser requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise subject.
(h) If requested by Purchasers, cooperate with the Purchasers to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to transferee, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Purchasers may request, and provided further that if Registrable Securities were sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and in compliance with the prospectus delivery and other federal and applicable state securities requirements, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to transferee without legend.
(i) Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 8(c)(vi), as promptly as reasonably possible, 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.
(j) Cooperate with any due diligence investigation undertaken by the Purchasers in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities, including without limitation by making available any documents and information; provided that the Company will not deliver or make available to any Purchaser material, nonpublic information unless such Purchaser
15
specifically requests in advance to receive reasonable material, nonpublic information in writing and such Purchaser executes a confidentiality agreement in form and substance acceptable to Company’s counsel.
9. Furnishing of Information. As long as any Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
10. Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity; Non-Public Information. The Company may, following the Closing Date, issue a press release or file a Current Report on Form 8-K, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission. The Company and the Purchasers shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.
11. Indemnification
(a) Indemnification by the Company with Respect to the Transaction Documents. The Company will indemnify and hold the Purchasers and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the Transaction Documents or (b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Purchaser Party and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents as of the Closing Date.
(b) Indemnification by the Company with Respect to the Registration Statement. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each of them, each person who controls any such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, to the extent arising out of or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or
16
supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser furnished to the Company by such Purchaser expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Purchaser has approved Exhibit B hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 7(c) or Section 8(c)(iv)-(vi), the use by such Purchaser of a suspended, disqualified, outdated or defective prospectus unless the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the prospectus is suspended, disqualified, outdated or defective.
(c) Indemnification by Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based upon: (x) such Purchaser’s failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; provided, each Purchaser, jointly and not severally with the other Purchasers, acknowledges and agrees that any of such Purchaser’s assignees that receive any Registrable Securities upon transfer or sale from the Purchaser must also comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act upon resale of the Registrable Securities and accordingly, such Purchaser agrees that the indemnification provided for hereunder shall cover resales of the Registrable Securities by its assignees; or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished by such Purchaser to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or such prospectus or (ii) to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Purchaser furnished to the Company by such Purchaser expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities (it being understood that the Purchaser has approved Exhibit B hereto for this purpose), such prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto; or (z) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 7(c) or Section 8(c)(iv)-(vi), the use by such Purchaser of a suspended, disqualified, outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the prospectus is suspended, disqualified, outdated or defective.
(d) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (including, without limitation, an investigation or partial proceeding,
17
such as a deposition), whether commenced or threatened (a “Proceeding”) shall be brought or asserted against any party entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) trading days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, determined based upon the relative faults of the parties.

15. Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.

17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
18. APPLICABLE LAW.
