entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of

certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or
charter documents, except, in the case of the Subsidiaries, where the violation
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have, or reasonably be expected to
result in, a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and the
Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of
the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification

be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(c)
Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate authority
to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the

no further consent or action is required on the part of the Company, other than
the approval of the majority of the stockholders of the Company who are
disinterested in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents. Each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party
has been duly executed by the Company and is a valid and binding obligation of
the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except
as 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 specific performance and other equitable
remedies.
(d)
No
Conflicts. Other than as set forth in Schedule 3.1(d)
hereto, the
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company
to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby do not, and will not, (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents,
(ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that, with notice or
lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) or other
understanding to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any
property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound, or affected, except
to the extent that such conflict, default, termination, amendment, acceleration
or cancellation right would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or
governmental authority to which the Company or a Subsidiary is subject
(including, assuming the continued validity and accuracy of the representations
and warranties of the Investors set forth in Section 3.2(c)
hereof, U.S. federal and state securities laws and regulations, Canadian
provincial securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations of any
self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject,
including all applicable Trading Markets), or by which any property or asset of
the Company or a Subsidiary is bound or affected, except to the extent that such
violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(e)
The Common
Shares. The Common Shares are duly authorized and, when issued
and paid for in accordance with this Agreement and the Transfer Agent
Instructions, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
free and clear of all Liens and will not be subject to pre-emptive or similar
rights of stockholders (other than those imposed by the
Investors). Assuming the continued validity and accuracy of each
Investor’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2(c), the
offer and sale of the Common Shares to the Investors pursuant to this Agreement
are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and from the
prospectus and registration requirements of applicable Canadian provincial
securities laws and regulations.

in a right of any holder of securities to adjust the exercise, conversion,
exchange or reset price under such securities. To the knowledge of
the Company, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports and any Schedules 13D or 13G
filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 13d-1 of the Exchange Act by reporting

eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D
in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Common Shares as
contemplated hereby (assuming the continued validity and accuracy of the

obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments,
including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition
of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under
any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as
financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with
the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the
seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to
repossession or sale of such property), (F) all monetary obligations under any
leasing or similar arrangement which, under GAAP, consistently applied for the
periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness

of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be
secured by) any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other
encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract
rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which owns such assets or
property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness,
and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or obligations of
others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; and (y) “Contingent Obligation” means,
as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of
that Person with respect to any indebtedness, lease, dividend or other
obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person
incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance
to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged,
or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the
holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss
with respect thereto.
(aa) Employee
Relations. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is
a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a
union. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are
as disclosed in the Public Disclosure Documents. Except as disclosed

Securities Act) of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries has notified the
Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or
any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the
Company or any such Subsidiary. To the knowledge of the Company, no
executive officer of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is in violation of
any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or
proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other
contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment
of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any such
Subsidiary to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing
matters.
(bb) Labor
Matters. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in
all material respects with all applicable federal, state, provincial, local and
foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment
practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours,
except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.
(cc)
Subsidiary
Rights. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(a) hereto, the
Company or one of the Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and
(subject to limitations imposed by applicable law) to receive dividends and
distributions on, all capital securities of the Subsidiaries as owned by the
Company or such Subsidiary.
(dd) Tax
Status. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries (i) has made
or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns,
reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject,
except for any which the failure to make or file would not be reasonably
expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect,
(ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are
material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and
declarations, except those being contested in good faith, and (iii) has set
aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes
for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or
declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount
claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers

Person. Such Investor represents and agrees that he, she or it has
not made, and will not make, “an offer of the Common Shares to the public” in

authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering and sale of the
Common Shares.
(g)
No
Advertising. Such Investor has not become aware of any

Investor will execute and deliver and file, or assist the Company with the

transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the
organizational documents of such Investor, in the case of an Investor that is
not a natural person, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an

deemed criminal under the laws of Canada, any of the jurisdictions of the United
States of America or any other jurisdiction or (ii) are being tendered on behalf
of any Person other than such Investor. Such Investor shall notify

representation and warranty ceases to be true and to provide the Company with
all relevant information in connection therewith.

Securities
Transactions. Such Investor has not engaged, directly or
indirectly, and no Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding
with such Investor has engaged, in any purchases or sales of any securities of
the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving any of the
Company’s securities) (a “Transaction”) since the time
such Investor was first contacted by the Company, or by any Person, regarding an
investment in the Company, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. Such Investor covenants that he, she or it will not engage,
directly or indirectly, in any Transactions in the securities of the Company

sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign
regulated brokers.
(l)
Restricted
Securities. Such Investor understands that the Common Shares
are characterized as “restricted securities” under
the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the
Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such
laws and applicable regulations, the Common Shares may be resold in the U.S.
without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances. Such Investor acknowledges that the Common Shares are
not qualified for distribution to the public in Canada and that he, she or it
will not, directly or indirectly, offer or re-sell the Common Shares in Canada
or to any Canadian resident, or to any Person who is acting on behalf of a
resident of Canada or to any Person whom he, she or it believes intends to
re-offer, re-sell or deliver any of the Common Shares in Canada, unless

such legend has been removed in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 4.1(b): (A)
the Common Shares cannot be traded through the facilities of the Toronto Stock
Exchange (on the Toronto Stock Exchange, certificates representing the Common
Shares are not freely transferable and consequently are not “good delivery” in
settlement of transactions); and (B) the Toronto Stock Exchange may deem such
Investor to be responsible for any loss incurred on a sale made by him, her or
it of the Common Shares.
(n)
Collection
of Information. In the case of an Investor who is a resident
of the Province of Ontario or is otherwise subject to the securities laws of the
Province of Ontario, such Investor acknowledges that he, she or it has been

collection of this information by the OSC.
(o)
No
Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Such Investor understands
that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf
of the Company to him, her or it in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby constitutes legal, tax or investment
advice. Such Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment
advisors as he, she or it, in his, her or its sole discretion, has deemed
necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.
(p)

Other
than to the extent required by the Transfer Agent, certificates evidencing the
Common Shares shall not be required to contain such restrictive legends (i)
while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering
the resale of the Common Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii)
following any sale of the Common Shares pursuant to Rule 144 if the holder
provides the Company with a legal opinion (and the documents upon which the
legal opinion is based) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that
the Common Shares can be sold under Rule 144, (iii) if the holder provides the
Company with a legal opinion (and the documents upon which the legal opinion is
based) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the Securities
are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1) or (iv) if the holder provides the
Company with a legal opinion (and the documents upon which the legal opinion is
based) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the legend is not
required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including
controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of
the SEC). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal
opinion included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent on the
Effective Date. Following the Effective Date or at such earlier time
as a legend is no longer required for certain of the Common Shares, the Company
will, no later than five Trading Days following the delivery by an Investor to
the Company or the Transfer Agent of (i) a legended certificate representing the
Common Shares and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 4.1(a),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing
such of the Common Shares that is free from such restrictive
legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give
instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section
4.1(b).
If within
five Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a legended certificate and the
other documents as specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the paragraph
immediately above, as applicable, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to
such Investor a certificate representing such of the Common Shares that is free
from such restrictive legends, and if on or after such Trading Day such Investor
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of the Common
Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Investor of shares of his,
her or its Common Shares that such Investor anticipated receiving from the
Company without any such restrictive legend (the “Covering Shares”), then the
Company shall, within five Trading Days after such Investor’s request, pay cash
to such Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of such Investor’s
total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering
Shares, over the product of (A) the number of Covering Shares, times (B) the
closing bid price on the date of delivery of such certificate and the other
documents as specified in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the paragraph
immediately above, as applicable.
(c) The
Company will not object to (and shall permit (except as prohibited by law)) the
Investors to pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Common
Shares in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or
financing arrangement secured by the Common Shares, and, if required under the
terms of such agreement, loan or arrangement, the Company will not object to
(and shall permit (except as prohibited by law)) the Investors to transfer
pledged or secured Common Shares to the pledgees or secured
parties. Except as required by law, such a pledge or transfer would
not be subject to approval of the Company, no legal opinion of the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith, and no
notice shall be required of such pledge. The Investors hereby
acknowledge that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating
to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Common Shares or for
any agreement, understanding or arrangement between an Investor and his, her or
its pledgee or secured party. At the relevant Investor’s expense, the
Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or
secured party of any of the Common Shares may reasonably request in connection
with a pledge or transfer of them, including the preparation and filing of any
required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act to amend appropriately the list
of Selling Stockholders thereunder. Provided that the Company is in
compliance with the terms of this Section 4.1(c), the
Company’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 6.4 shall not
extend to any Proceeding or Losses arising out of or related to this Section
4.1(c).
4.2 Furnishing of
Information. Until the date that any Investor owning any of
the Common Shares may sell all of them under Rule 144(b)(1) of the Securities
Act (or any successor provision), the Company covenants to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to file timely (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
the Common Shares may reasonably request to satisfy the provisions of this Section
4.2.
4.3 Integration. The
Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
that no Affiliate thereof shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy,
or otherwise negotiate in respect of, any security (as defined in Section 2
of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer and sale of the
Common Shares to the Investors pursuant hereto in a manner that would require
the registration under the Securities Act of such offer and sale.
4.4 Use of
Proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the
sale of the Common Shares for working capital and general corporate
purposes. Pending these uses, the Company intends to invest the net
proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade
securities, or otherwise, pursuant to the Company’s customary investment
policies.
4.5 Restriction on
Issuances. From the Closing Date until 45 days after the
Effective Date, the Company shall not issue or sell any shares of the Common
Stock other than the issuance of shares of the Common Stock (i) upon the
exercise of Options outstanding on the Closing Date, (ii) upon the exercise of
Options issued in the future under the Company’s 2002 Stock Option Plan or other
security-based compensation arrangements, (iii) upon the exercise of Convertible
Securities outstanding on the Closing Date, (iv) to banks, equipment lessors or
other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt
financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction, (v) pursuant
to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of
substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or pursuant to a joint
venture agreement and (vi) in connection with marketing or similar agreements or
strategic partnerships (including, without limitation, by way of a private
placement to strategic investors and/or entities (whatever the legal form) in
which, or of which, one or more members of the Company’s management owns or
controls an equity stake of 10% or greater).
4.6 Accredited Investor
Certificate. Each of the Investors, as to himself, herself or
itself and for no other Investor, agrees to complete and execute and deliver the
Accredited Investor Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit E, if such
Investor is a resident of the U.S., and the Accredited Investor Certificate
attached hereto as Exhibit F, if such
Investor is a resident of Canada or is otherwise subject to Canadian provincial

ARTICLE
VI
REGISTRATION
RIGHTS
6.1 Registration
Statement.
(a)
As promptly as possible, and in any event on or prior to the Filing Date,
the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement
covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on
a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. 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 in accordance with the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act) and shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the
Investors or requested by the SEC) the “Plan of Distribution” in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit
G. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this
Agreement or the Agency Agreement to the contrary, any inability on the part of
the Company to register for resale all Registrable Securities as a result of
written comments from the SEC (including, without limitation, due to the
limitations under Rule 415), resulting in the Registration Statement covering
the resale of less than all Registrable Securities, shall not constitute, nor
shall it be deemed to be, a breach or default by the Company under this
Agreement or the Agency Agreement or under any other agreement among the Company
and the Investors.
(b)
The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as
possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the Required
Effectiveness Date, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep
the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until
the earlier of the date that all of the Common Shares covered by such
Registration Statement have been sold or can be sold publicly under Rule
144(b)(1) (the “Effectiveness
Period”); provided that, upon notification by the SEC that a Registration
Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and
comments, the Company shall request acceleration of such Registration Statement
within five Trading Days after receipt of such notice and request that it
becomes effective at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Effective
Date.
(c)
The Company shall notify the Investors in writing promptly (and, in
any event, within two Trading Days) after receiving notification from the SEC
that the Registration Statement has been declared effective.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Agency Agreement to the
contrary, after 60 consecutive Trading Days of continuous effectiveness of the
initial Registration Statement filed and declared effective pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company may, by written notice to the Investors, suspend sales
under a Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require
that the Investors immediately cease the sale of Registrable Securities 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
determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such
activity, (A) it would be materially detrimental to the Company (other than as
relating solely to the price of the Common Stock) to maintain a Registration Statement
at such time or (B) it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend sales
under such registration at such time. Upon receipt of such notice,
the Investors shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such registration until the Investors are advised in writing by the
Company that the current Prospectus or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be
used. In no event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend
sales beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination of the
Board) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to
the Company. The Company’s rights under this Section 6(e) may be
exercised for a period of no more than 30 Trading Days at a time and not more
than two times in any twelve-month period, without such suspension being
considered as part of an Event Payment determination. Immediately
after the end of any suspension period under this Section 6(e), the
Company shall take all necessary actions (including filing any required
supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the applicable
Registration Statement and the Investors’ ability to publicly re-sell
Registrable Securities pursuant to such effective Registration
Statement.
(e)
The Company shall not, from the date hereof until the Effective Date of the
Registration Statement, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the
Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than any registration
statement relating to the Company’s employee benefit plans registered on Form
S-8.
6.2 Registration
Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration
obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a)
Not less than three Trading Days prior to the filing of a
Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, furnish via e-mail to those Investors who have provided the Company
with e-mail addresses copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which
documents (other than any document that is incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference therein) will be subject to the review of such
Investors. The Company shall reflect in each such document when so
filed with the SEC such comments regarding the Investors and the plan of
distribution as the Investors may reasonably and promptly propose no later than
two Trading Days after the Investors have been so furnished with copies of such
documents as aforesaid.
(b)
(i) Subject to Section 6.1(e),
prepare and file with the SEC 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 SEC 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 12 Trading Days (except to the extent that the Company
reasonably requires additional time to respond to accounting comments), to any
comments received from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement or any
amendment thereto; 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
Investors set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such
Prospectus as so supplemented.
(c)
Notify the Investors as promptly as reasonably possible (and if requested
by them, confirm such notice in writing no later than two Trading Days
thereafter) of any of the following events: (i) the SEC notifies the
Company whether there will be a “review” of any Registration Statement; (ii) the
SEC comments in writing on any Registration Statement; (iii) any Registration
Statement or any post-effective amendment is declared effective; (iv) the SEC 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; (v) the SEC issues any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any Proceedings for
that purpose; (vi) the Company receives notice of any suspension of the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for
sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threat of any Proceeding for such
purpose; or (vii) the financial statements included in any Registration
Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or any Registration Statement
or Prospectus or other document contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.
(d)
Use its reasonable Best Efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain
the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration
Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from
qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any
jurisdiction, as soon as possible.
(e)
If requested by an Investor, provide such Investor, without charge,
at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits to the
extent requested by such Investor (including those previously furnished or
incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the
SEC.
(f)
Promptly deliver to each Investor, without charge, as many copies of the
Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each
amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The
Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or
supplement thereto by the Investors in connection with the offering and sale of
the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto to the extent permitted by federal and state securities laws
and regulations.
(g)
(i) In the time and manner required by each Trading Market, prepare and
file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering
the Registrable Securities; (ii) take all steps necessary to cause the
Registrable Securities to be approved for listing on each Trading Market as soon
as possible thereafter; (iii) upon request by an Investor, provide to such
Investor evidence of such listing; and (iv) except as exempted pursuant to Section 6.1(e),
during the Effectiveness Period, maintain the listing of the Registrable
Securities on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.
(h)
Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its
reasonable Best Efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investors
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 Investor requests in writing, to keep each such registration or
qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective for so long as required, but
not to exceed the duration of the Effectiveness Period, and to do any and all
other acts or things reasonably 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 so
subject.
(i)
Cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a
transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be
free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement and the Transfer Agent and under
law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such certificates to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as the Investors may reasonably
request.
(j)
Upon the occurrence of any event described in
Section
6.2(c)(vii), 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.
(k)
Cooperate with any reasonable due diligence investigation undertaken by
the Investors in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, by making available documents and information, provided that
the Company will not deliver or make available to any Investor material,
nonpublic information unless such Investor requests in advance in writing to
receive material, nonpublic information and agrees in writing to keep such
information confidential.
(l)
Comply with all rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to
the registration of the Registrable Securities.
(m) It
shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the
registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable
Securities of any particular Investor or to make any Event Payments to such
Investor pursuant to Section 6.1(d) that
he, she or it furnish to the Company the information specified in Exhibits H-1, H-2 and
H-3 hereto and
such other information regarding him, her or it, the Registrable Securities and
other shares of the Common Stock held by him, her or it and the intended method
of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by him, her or it (if
different from the Plan of Distribution set forth on Exhibit G hereto), as
shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable
Securities, and shall complete and execute such documents in connection with
such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
(n) The
Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172
under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or
amendment thereto, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act,
promptly inform the Investors in writing if, at any time during the
Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in
Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Investors are required to make available
a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of the Registrable Securities
and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the
registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
6.3 Registration
Expenses. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident
to the performance of or compliance with Article VI by the
Company, including, without limitation, (a) all registration and filing fees and
expenses, including, without limitation, those related to filings with the SEC,
any Trading Market and in connection with applicable state securities or Blue
Sky laws, (b) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of
printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (c) messenger, telephone and
delivery expenses, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (e)
fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (f)
all listing fees to be paid by the Company to the Trading
Market.
6.4 Indemnification
(a)
Indemnification by the
Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of
this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, and, in the case of
each Investor that is not a natural person, its officers, directors, partners,
members, agents and employees, each Person who controls such Investor (within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of
each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against any and all Losses (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or review) arising out of
or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any other certificate,
instrument or document contemplated hereby, (ii) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or (iii) any cause of
action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnified Party (as defined
in Section
6.4(c) below) by a third party (including, for these purposes, a
derivative action brought on behalf of the Company), arising out of or resulting
from (x) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement
or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby, (y) any
transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Common Shares or (z) the
status of an Indemnified Party as a holder of the Common
Shares.
(b)
Indemnification by
Investors. Each Investor, severally and not jointly, shall
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 determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or
review) arising solely out of any untrue statement of a material fact contained
in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or relating to any
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 the light of the circumstances under which they were
made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or
omission is contained in any information so furnished by such Investor in
writing to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement
or such Prospectus or to the extent that (i) such untrue statements or omissions
are based solely upon information regarding such Investor furnished to the
Company by him, her or it in writing expressly for use therein, or to the extent
that such information relates to him, her or it or his, her or its proposed
method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly
approved by such Investor expressly for use in the Registration Statement (it
being understood that the information provided by such Investor to the Company
in Exhibits H-1,
H-2 and H-3 and the Plan of
Distribution set forth on Exhibit G, as the
same may be modified by such Investor and other information provided by such
Investor to the Company in or pursuant to the Transaction Documents constitutes
information reviewed and expressly approved by such Investor in writing
expressly for use in the Registration Statement), such Prospectus or such form
of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto. In no event,
shall such Investor’s liability hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar
amount of the net proceeds received by him, her or it upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.
(c)
Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted
against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought
(the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall 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 the 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 finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review)
that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely 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
unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such
fees and expenses; or (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
separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party). It shall be understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party
shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding (including separate
Proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single judge) be
liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at
any time for all Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be appointed by a
majority of the Indemnified Parties. 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 6.4(c)) shall
be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within 20 Trading Days of written
notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately
determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified
Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is
finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder).
(d)
Contribution. If
a claim for indemnification under Section 6.4(a)
or Section
6.4(b)
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or
otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been
taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party
or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or
omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any
Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(c), any
reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such
party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been
indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in
this Section was available to such party in accordance with its
terms.
The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section
6.4(d), no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate,
any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by
such Investor from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the
Proceeding exceed the amount of any damages that he, she or it has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. 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.
The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 6.4 are in
addition to any other liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the
Indemnified Parties.
6.5 Dispositions. Each
Investor agrees that he, she or it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to him, her or it in connection
with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and
shall sell Registrable Securities in accordance with the Plan of Distribution
set forth in the Prospectus. Each Investor further agrees that, upon
receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind
described in Sections
6.2(c)(v), (vi) or (vii), such Investor
will discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities under the Registration
Statement until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use
of the Prospectus, or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be
resumed. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce
the provisions of this Section
6.5.
6.6 Piggy-Back
Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period
there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable
Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the
account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities,
other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents, relating to equity
securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity
or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or
other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Investor,
provided that he, she or it is not then eligible to sell all of his, her or its
Registrable Securities under Rule 144 in a three-month period, written notice of
such determination and if, within ten days after receipt of such notice, such
Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such
registration statement all or any part of his, her or its Registrable Securities
that such Investor requests to be registered. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that, in connection with any underwritten public
offering, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the
number of shares of the Common Stock which may be included in such registration
statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors
dictate that such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution,
then the Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement
only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which
such Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter(s) shall
permit; provided, however, that (i) the Company
shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first
excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not contractually
entitled to inclusion of such securities in such registration statement or are
not contractually entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities
and (ii) after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any such
exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Investors
seeking to include Registrable Securities and the holders of other securities
having the contractual right to inclusion of their securities in such
registration statement by reason of demand registration rights, in proportion to
the number of Registrable Securities or other securities, as applicable, sought
to be included by each such Investor and each other holder. If an
offering in connection with which an Investor is entitled to registration under
this Section
6.6 is an underwritten offering, then each Investor whose Registrable
Securities are included in such Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise
agreed by the Company, offer and sell his, her or its Registrable Securities in
an underwritten offering using the same underwriter(s) and, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as other shares
of the Common Stock included in such underwritten offering and shall enter into
an underwriting agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and the underwriter(s). Upon the effectiveness of the
registration statement for which piggy-back registration has been provided in
this Section
6.6, any
Event Payments payable shall terminate and no longer be
payable.

the Company and the Investors or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against

Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of

right.

such rights and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company after such

and address of such transferee or assignee and (y) the Registrable Securities

applicable requirements of this Agreement and with all laws applicable thereto
and (vi) in the case of an assignment of registration rights pursuant to Article VI, such
transferee or assignee acquires at least 100,000 Common Shares.
7.8 No Third-Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is
not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
Person, except that each Indemnified Party is an intended third party
beneficiary of Section 6.4 and (in each
case) may enforce the provisions of such Section directly against the parties
with obligations thereunder.
7.9 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver
of Jury Trial. THE CORPORATE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE
SHALL GOVERN ALL ISSUES CONCERNING THE RELATIVE RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY AND ITS
STOCKHOLDERS. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY,
ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. THE COMPANY AND EACH INVESTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING
IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY
DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY INVESTOR HEREUNDER, IN CONNECTION HEREWITH
OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH
RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY INVESTOR, ANY CLAIM THAT HE, SHE OR IT IS NOT
PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY
SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR
CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY
AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT
SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE
THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY
ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. THE
COMPANY AND EACH INVESTOR HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY
JURY.
7.10 Survival. The
representations and warranties, agreements and covenants of the Investors and
the Company contained herein shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve
months.
7.11 Execution. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts (including by
facsimile or e-mail transmission), all of which, when taken together, shall be
considered one and the same agreement. In the event that any
signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or e-mail attachment, such
signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if
such facsimile or e-mail-attached signature page were an original
thereof.
7.12 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 and the
parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a
reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such
substitute provision in this Agreement.
7.13 Rescission and Withdrawal
Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
(and without limiting any similar provisions of) this Agreement, whenever any
Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option owed to him, her or it by
the Company hereunder and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods herein provided, then, prior to the performance
by the Company of the Company’s related obligation, such Investor may rescind or
withdraw, in his, her or its sole discretion from time to time upon written
notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in
part without prejudice to his, her or its future actions and
rights.
7.14 Replacement of
Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any of
the Common Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall
issue, or cause to be issued, in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate
or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the
Company of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder
thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement
to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any losses in connection
therewith. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under
such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third party costs associated
with the issuance of such replacement certificate or instrument.
7.15 Remedies. In
addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by
law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will
be entitled to seek specific performance under this Agreement. The
parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any
loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any
such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary
restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be
adequate.
7.16 Payment Set
Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or
payments to any Investor hereunder or any Investor enforces or exercises his,
her or its rights hereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of
such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged
by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company
by a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without
limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable
cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration, the obligation or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and shall
continue in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
7.17 Independent Nature of
Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Investor under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of
any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Investor hereunder. The
decision of each Investor to purchase the Common Shares pursuant to this
Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and
independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the
business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which
may have been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or employee of
any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have
any liability to any other Investor (or any other Person) relating to or arising
from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing
contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be
deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or any other kind of entity or shall create a presumption that the
Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each
Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such
Investor in connection with making his, her or its investment hereunder and that
no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with
monitoring his, her or its investment hereunder. Each Investor shall
be entitled to protect and enforce his, her or its rights independently,
including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it
shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional
party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
7.18 Currency. All
dollar amounts in this Agreement are expressed in the lawful currency of the
U.S.

Attention:
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Reference
is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2008
(the “Agreement”), by
and among OccuLogix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Xxxxxxxx Securities
Inc., an Ontario corporation, and the investors named on the Schedule of
Investors attached thereto (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the
Company is issuing to the Investors shares (the “Common Shares”) of Common
Stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
This
letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you
(provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time) to
issue shares of the Common Stock upon transfer or resale of the Common
Shares.
You
acknowledge and agree that so long as you have previously received
(a) written confirmation from the Company’s legal counsel that either
(i) a registration statement covering resales of the Common Shares has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “1933
Act”), and that resales of the Common Shares may be made thereunder, or

OPINION
OF COMPANY
COUNSEL
____________,
2008
To the
Investors identified on Exhibit
A
to the
Agreement defined below
|
Re:

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We have
acted as counsel to OccuLogix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May __, 2008, by
and among the Company, Xxxxxxxx Securities Inc. and the investors signatory
thereto (the “Agreement”), and the
transactions contemplated therein. Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such
terms in the Agreement.
This
opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii) of the
Agreement.
In
rendering this opinion, we have examined executed originals, counterparts or
copies of each of the following:
1.
the Agreement (and the exhibits and schedules
thereto);
2.
the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as
in effect on the date hereof (the “Certificate of
Incorporation”);
3.
the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation dated the date
hereof (the “Amendment”);
4.
the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) as in effect
on the date hereof;
5.
the corporate resolutions of the Board of Directors of
the Company and the stockholders of the Company authorizing the execution and
delivery of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby, including the issuance and sale of the Common Shares;
6.
a certificate from the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware as to the good standing of the Company dated ____________, 2008 (the
“Good Standing
Certificate”);
7.
the Officer’s Certificate of the Company, dated as
of the date hereof (the “Officer’s
Certificate”); and
8. such
other documents and certificates of public officials and representatives of the
Company as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed
herein.
References
to (1) “Applicable
Laws” shall mean those laws, rules and regulations of the State of New
York and the United States of America as well as the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) which, in our
experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type similar to the
issuance and sale of the Common Shares, (2) the term “Governmental
Authorities” shall mean any New York State or federal executive,
legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body and (3) the term “Applicable Orders”
shall mean those orders or decrees of Governmental Authorities applicable to the
Company identified to us by the Chief Financial Officer or Secretary of the
Company.
As to
various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied upon the
representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and upon certificates
and other documents and statements of officers of the Company, including without
limitation, the Officer’s Certificate, and of public officials. In
our examination of the documents referred to above, we have assumed (i) the
genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the incumbency, authority, capacity (in the
case of natural persons), and legal right and power under all applicable laws,
statutes, rules and regulations of all persons executing the Agreement on behalf
of the parties thereto other than the Company to enter into the Agreement and
perform the obligations thereunder that are applicable to them; (iii) the
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and is binding
upon and enforceable against, all persons (other than the Company) executing the
Agreement; (iv) the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to
us as original or certified documents; (v) the conformity to authentic original
documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, facsimile or
photostatic copies; and (vi) that the Good Standing Certificate remains accurate
from the date thereof through and including the date of this
opinion. We have made no independent investigation of such
assumptions.
We are
attorneys admitted to practice only in the State of New York and we opine herein
only as to the effect of the Applicable Laws of the State of New York, the
federal laws of the United States of America and the DGCL on the subject
transaction. We do not opine on and we assume no responsibility as to
the applicability of or the effect on any of the matters covered herein other
than the Applicable Laws.
The
opinions set forth below are subject to the following additional assumptions,
limitations, qualifications and exceptions:
|
A.
|
The
legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Agreement may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium, marshaling or other similar laws now or
hereafter in effect, affecting creditors’ rights and remedies
generally;
|
|
B.
|
The
legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Agreement may
be subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in equity or at law;
|
|
C.
|
No
opinion is expressed with respect to the enforceability of provisions
regarding indemnification and contribution against liabilities where such
indemnification and contribution is contrary to public
policy;
|
|
D.
|
We
have assumed that the issuance and sale of the Common Shares do not and
will not conflict with, contravene, violate or constitute a default under
(i) any mortgage, lien, lease, agreement, contract, instrument, order,
arbitration award, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject,
(ii) any rule, law or regulation to which the Company is subject (other
than the Applicable Laws) or (iii) any judicial or administrative
order or decree of any governmental authority (other than the Applicable
Orders);
|
|
E.
|
Where
we render an opinion “to our knowledge” with respect to the Company, it is
based solely upon (i) the actual, current knowledge of those attorneys
within this firm who devoted substantive attention to the representation
of the Company in connection with the transactions to which this opinion
relates, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth
in the Agreement, (iii) receipt of a certificate executed by an authorized
officer of the Company covering such matters, and (iv) review of documents
provided to us by the Company in connection with rendering this opinion,
and the due diligence performed in connection therewith, which review and
due diligence were limited to reviewing the Agreement, the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Bylaws and minute books of the Company, the Good
Standing Certificate and certificates of the Company, and which due
diligence did not include any examination of courts, boards, other
tribunals or public records with respect to any litigation, investigation
or proceedings, or judgments, orders or decrees applicable to the Company
or any of its properties;
|
|
F.
|
We
express no opinion as to the effect on the opinions herein stated of (i)
the compliance or non-compliance of any party to the Agreement (other than
the Company to the extent set forth herein) with any state, federal or
other laws or regulations applicable to them, or (ii) the legal or
regulatory status or the nature of the business of such other
parties;
|
|
G.
|
Our
opinion as to good standing contained in paragraph 1 is based solely on
the Good Standing Certificate and is given only as of the date
thereof;
|
|
|
H.
|
We
express no opinion on the due authorization of the Common Shares, in each
case where the amount of Common Stock required to be issued under such
instruments exceeds the authorized but unissued Common Stock set forth in
the Certificate of Incorporation;
|
|
I.
|
The
Amendment and the issuance of the Common Shares pursuant to
the Agreement have been duly approved by the stockholders
of the Company (we express no opinion regarding the sufficiency of the
disclosure made to such stockholders) and the Amendment has been or will
be duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware:
and
|
|
J.
|
This
opinion is limited to the matters expressly set forth herein and no
opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly so
stated. This opinion is based upon facts known to the
undersigned on the date hereof, and the undersigned does not undertake any
liability or responsibility to inform you of any change in circumstances
occurring after the date hereof which might alter the opinions contained
herein.
|
Based
upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The
Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and authority to
carry on its business as now conducted and to own its properties.
2. (a)
The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
perform the Agreement and to issue the Common Shares in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement; (b) the execution and delivery of the Agreement by the
Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have
been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent
or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its shareholders is
required; (c) the Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company;
and (d) the Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
3. The
Common Shares are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the
terms of the Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable,
and, to our knowledge, free from all liens and charges with respect to the
issuance thereof.
4. No
authorization, approval or consent of any Governmental Authority is required for
the issuance and sale of the Common Shares as contemplated by the Agreement or
the consummation of the other transactions contemplated thereby.
5. The
execution and delivery of the Agreement by the Company and the issuance of the
Common Shares pursuant thereto do not (i) violate any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as currently in effect, or (ii) violate
or contravene any Applicable Law, the violation or contravention of which would
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
6. Assuming
the representations made by the Investors in the Agreement are true and correct,
the sale of the Common Shares is exempt from the registration requirements of
Section 5 of the Securities Act.
These
opinions are rendered only to you and are solely for your benefit in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and may not, without our
prior express written consent, be quoted or relied upon for any other purpose or
by an other person.
Very
truly yours,

DISTRIBUTION
The
selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of
common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at
fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one
or more of the following methods when selling shares:
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
·
|
short
sales;
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale;
and
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The
selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or
discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent
for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions
and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions
involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a
broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts
or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions,
commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of
shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling
stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that
participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are
imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
The
selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest
in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default
in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties
may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this
prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule
424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933
supplementing or amending the list of selling stockholders to include the
pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders
under this prospectus.
The
selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other
circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in
interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus
and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus
after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 supplementing or
amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or
other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus.
The
selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such
event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit
on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to
be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are
required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares
of common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders
against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
The
selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any
agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or
broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there
an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale
of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are
notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been
entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if
required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the
selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common
stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act.
The
anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling
stockholders.
