2. Registration.
a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Registration Statement on
Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is
unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for
such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders,
subject to the provisions of Section 2(d). The Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto
shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required
Registration Amount as of the date the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC.
The Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders)
the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its best efforts to have the
Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than the Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day following the Effective Date,
the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final
prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.
b. Allocation of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable
Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable
Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of
Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such
initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In
the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable
Securities, each transferee that becomes an Investor shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the
then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such
transferor. Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain
allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number
of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration
Statement. Except as set forth on Schedule 2(b), in no event shall the Company include
any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior
written consent of the Required Holders.
c. Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the
right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section
2 (“Legal Counsel”), which shall be Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxx LLP or such other counsel as thereafter
designated by the Required Holders. The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with
each other in regards to the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.
3
d. Ineligibility for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the
registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the
resale of the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2 or another appropriate form reasonably
acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on
Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
e. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares
available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover
all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an
Investor’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(b), the Company
shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the
short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required
Registration Amount as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such
amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event
not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its
best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon
as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number
of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of
the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for
resale under the Registration Statement is less than the product determined by multiplying (i) the
Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. The calculation set forth in the
foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the conversion of the
Preferred Shares or the exercise of the Warrants and such calculation shall assume that the
Preferred Shares are then convertible into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing
Conversion Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) and that the Warrants are then
exercisable for shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Exercise Price.
f. Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration
Statement. If (i) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities
required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement
is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) filed
with the SEC but not declared effective by the SEC on or before the respective Effectiveness
Deadline (an “Effectiveness Failure”) or (ii) on any day after the Effective Date sales of all of
the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made
(other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r)) pursuant to such
Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such
Registration Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be
made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a suspension or delisting of the Common Stock on its
principal trading market or exchange, or to register a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock) (a “Maintenance Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason
of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock
(which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity) and
subject to the Limitation on Damages (as defined in
4
the Certificate of Designations), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable
Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of
the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of
such Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement on each of the
following dates: (i) the day of a Filing Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for
periods totaling less than thirty days) after a Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured;
(ii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated for periods
totaling less than thirty days) after an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is
cured; and (iii) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro rated
for periods totaling less than thirty days) after a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance
Failure is cured. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(f)
are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.” Registration Delay Payments shall be
paid on the day of the Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure and the initial day of a Maintenance
Failure, as applicable, and thereafter on the earlier of (I) the thirtieth day after the event or
failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments has occurred and (II) the third Business
Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. In the
event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration
Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month
(prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
3. Related Obligations.
At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC
pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(d) or 2(e), the Company will use its best efforts to effect the
registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
a. The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with
respect to the Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable after
such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). Subject to allowable Grace
Periods (as defined below), the Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant
to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the Investors may
sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction
pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date
on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). The Company shall ensure that each
Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained
therein) shall not contain any 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 case of
prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The
Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i)
the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff
of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as
the case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval
is immediately sought), a request for
5
acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later
than 48 hours after the submission of such request.
b. Subject to Section 3(r) of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC
such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement
and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such
Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such
period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all
Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as
all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration
Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are
required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by
reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-Q, or Form 10-QSB, Form 10-K, or Form 10-KSB or
any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the
Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if
applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the
1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such
Registration Statement.
c. The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration
Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments
and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Form
10-KSB, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Form 10-QSB, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any
similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the
SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to
which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration
of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without
the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the
SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration
Statement, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any
Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules,
all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and
(iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in
such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. The Company shall
reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this
Section 3.
d. The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in
any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with
the SEC, at least one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested
by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary
6
prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one (1) copy of the
prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or
such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other
documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may
reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Investor.
e. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an
exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of
all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions,
such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and
qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration
Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and
qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other
actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such
jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith
or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation
in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds
Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale
under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of
actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
f. The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of
any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the
prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic
information), and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such
Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver one (1) copy of
such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as
Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify
Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal
Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by
overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration
Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable
determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.
7
g. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other
suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of
any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension
is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment
and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the
issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the
initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
h. If any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in the
Registration Statement as an underwriter, at the reasonable request of any Investor, the Company
shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and
thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter,
dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance
as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an
underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such
date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form,
scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
Investors.
i. If any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in the
Registration Statement as an Underwriter, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i)
any Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the
Investors (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as
shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request;
provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and not
to make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the
Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are
so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933
Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or
order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such
Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of
this or any other Transaction Document. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that
disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at
its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective
order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality
agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors’ ability to
sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.
j. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning
an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to
comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any
8
Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a
subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent
jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than
by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it
shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by
a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written
notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such
information.
k. The Company shall use its best efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which
securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the
listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii)
secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement on the Nasdaq National Market, or (iii) if, despite the Company’s best efforts to
satisfy the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding
clauses (i) or (ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on The Nasdaq Capital Market for such
Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its best
efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. The
Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this
Section 3(k).
l. The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being
offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be
offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such
denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and
registered in such names as the Investors may request.
m. If requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable after receipt of
notice from such Investor and subject to Section 3(r) hereof, (i) incorporate in a prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be
included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered
or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the
Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be
incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or
make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any
Registrable Securities.
n. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or
authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
9
o. The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical,
but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings
statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under
the 0000 Xxx) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the
Company’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date of the Registration Statement.
p. The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.
q. Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable
Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal
counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with
copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement)
confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
r. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the
Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the
disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the
Company, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
otherwise required (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the
Investors in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace
Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material,
non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and
(ii) notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided
further, that no Grace Period shall exceed fifteen (15) consecutive Business Days and during any
three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of
sixty (60) Business Days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) trading
days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”);
provided, that no Allowable Grace Period may exist during the first sixty (60) Business
Days after the Effective Date. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above,
the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to
in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice
referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section
3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon
expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section
3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public
information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall
cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an
Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any
sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for
sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable Registration
Statement (unless an exception from such prospectus delivery requirement exists), prior to the
Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
10
4. Obligations of the Investors.
a. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a
Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the
Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor’s
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent
to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to
the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably
required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable
Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company
may reasonably request.
b. Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to
cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the
preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified
the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable
Securities from such Registration Statement.
c. Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of
any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f), such Investor will
immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of
the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f)
or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock
to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has
entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of
the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f) and
for which the Investor has not yet settled.
d. Each Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
e. Each Investor convents and agrees to deliver a Registration Statement Questionnaire in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit C no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Filing
Deadline.
5. Expenses of Registration.
All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in
connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including,
without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and
11
accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the
Company. The Company shall also reimburse the Investors for the fees and disbursements of Legal
Counsel in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of
this Agreement which amount shall be limited to $10,000.
6. Indemnification.
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this
Agreement:
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold
harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents,
representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the
1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid
in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken
from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory
agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or
may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as
such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in
connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of
any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such
Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the
Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged
omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in
light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any
violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder
relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement
or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv)
being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the
Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal
fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person
arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified
Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any
such amendment thereof or supplement thereto if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant
12
to section 3(a) and (ii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a
failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by
the Company, including a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus or corrected prospectus was
timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (iii) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written
consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by
the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
b. In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each
such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same
extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors,
each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls
the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”),
against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933
Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by
such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to
Section 6(c), such Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an
Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however,
that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to
contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if
such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall
be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does
not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive
the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.
c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6
of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or
proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in
respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the
indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall
have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with
counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not
more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party,
the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the
indemnifying party would be
13
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person
or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding; provided
further, that the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses
of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party. In
the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence
shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable
Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified
Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection
with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall
furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or
Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the
defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written
consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or
condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving
by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all
liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any
admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided
for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the
matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not
relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party
under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its
ability to defend such action.
d. No Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with
such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale of
Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.
e. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the
amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received
or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
f. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action
or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or
others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
14
7. Contribution.
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law,
the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for
which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law;
provided, however, that: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker
would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of
this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) in
connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale
of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii)
contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount
of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement.
8. Reports Under the 1934 Act.
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under
the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the
Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the
Company agrees to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
Rule 144;
b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the
Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such
requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations under
Section 4(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other
documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly
upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the
reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent
annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the
Company if such reports are not publicly available via XXXXX, and (iii) such other information as
may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144
without registration.
9. Assignment of Registration Rights.
The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any
transferee of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities if: (i) the Investor
agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such
agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the
Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written
notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with
respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately
15
following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the
transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv)
at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this
sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the
provisions contained herein; (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement; and (vi) such transfer shall have
been conducted in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.
10. Amendment of Registration Rights.
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the
written consent of the Company and the Required Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in
accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company. No such
amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the
Registrable Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or
consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same
consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
11. Miscellaneous.
a. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or
is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting
instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable
Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from
such record owner of such Registrable Securities.
b. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given
under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:
(i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided
confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the
sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight
delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses

to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York,
Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and
agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally

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 to such party at the address for
such 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. If any provision of
this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this
Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this
Agreement in any other jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE,
AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
e. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase

be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.

i. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts

enforced by, any other Person.
m. The obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other Investor, and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on

Attention: | Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Re: Think Partnership Inc. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
[We are][I am] counsel to Think Partnership Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and
have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein
(collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders preferred shares
(the “Preferred Shares”) convertible into the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common
Stock”), warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
with the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among
other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares
and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the
Registration Rights Agreement, on , 200_, the Company filed a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- ) (the “Registration Statement”) with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names
each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.
In connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has
advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration
Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF
EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s
staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for
that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are
available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.
This letter shall serve as our standing opinion to you that the shares of Common Stock are
freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require
further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of
1
shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer
Agent Instructions dated March , 2006.
Very truly yours, [ISSUER’S COUNSEL] |

EXHIBIT B
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders are issuable upon
conversion of the convertible preferred shares, upon exercise of the warrants and in payment of
certain dividend requirements as set forth in the Certificate of Designations. For additional
information regarding the issuance of those convertible preferred shares and warrants, see “Private
Placement of Convertible Preferred Shares and Warrants” above. We are registering the shares of
Common Stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time
to time. Except for the ownership of the preferred shares and warrants issued pursuant to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with
us within the past three years.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial
ownership of the shares of Common Stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column
lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on
its ownership of the convertible preferred shares and warrants, as of , 200_, assuming
conversion of all convertible preferred shares and exercise of the warrants held by the selling
stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercise.
The third column lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the
selling stockholders.
In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders,
this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least the sum of (i) the maximum number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred shares as of the trading day
immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC and (ii)
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the related warrants as of
the trading day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with
the SEC (assuming for purposes hereof that the exercise price is equal to $2.00, subject to
adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends). Because the conversion price of the convertible
preferred shares and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that
will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this
prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling
stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the certificate of designations and the warrants, a selling stockholder may
not convert the preferred shares or exercise the warrants to the extent such conversion or exercise
would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of
shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock
following such conversion or exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred shares which have not been
converted and upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in
the second column does not reflect this limitation. The
selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan
of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible
preferred shares, upon exercise of the warrants and in payment of certain dividend requirements to
permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the holders of the convertible preferred
shares and warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any
of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of Common Stock. We will
bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or
broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or
commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more
transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying
prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in
transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
• | on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; | ||
• | in the over-the-counter market; | ||
• | in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; | ||
• | through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise; | ||
• | 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 made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; |
• | sales pursuant to Rule 144; | ||
• | broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders 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. |
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or
through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may
receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling
stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as
agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to
particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types
of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise,
the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn
engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they
assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of
Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares
in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of
Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the
convertible preferred shares or warrants or 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 pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment
to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, 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 and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances
in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling
beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares
of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and
any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be
deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a
particular offering of the shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required,
will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being
offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents,
any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders
and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such
states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the
shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for
sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied
with.
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of
Common Stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus
forms a part.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which
may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling
stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any
person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the
marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in
market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[ ] in total, including, without limitation,
Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or
“blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts
and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities,
including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights
agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by
the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act,
that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically
for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements, or we
may be entitled to contribution.
Once sold under the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the
shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
