In reaching the conclusion that it desires to acquire the Shares, the Investor has carefully evaluated its financial resources and investment position and the risks associated with this investment and acknowledges that it is able to bear the economic risks of the investment.

The Investor acknowledges that the Confidential Information is in all respects confidential in nature, and if divulged may cause serious harm or damage to the Company.

Exhibit 10.1
EXHIBIT A
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of August 7, 2006, between the investor signatory hereto (an “Investor”), and O2 Secure Wireless, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”).
WHEREAS, the Investor is purchasing from the Company, pursuant to a Regulation S Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”) (capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement) up to 2,333,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Securities”); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to the Investor and any party who acquires some of the Securities from an Investor (collectively, the “Holders”) the registration rights set forth herein with respect to the Securities issuable under the Purchase Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
Section 1. Registrable Securities. As used herein the term “Registrable Security” means the Securities until (i) the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, and all Securities have been disposed of pursuant to the Registration Statement, (ii) all Securities have been sold under circumstances under which all of the applicable conditions of Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) are met, (iii) all Securities have been otherwise transferred to holders who may trade such Securities without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such Securities not bearing a restrictive legend or (iv) such time as, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all Securities may be sold without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or any similar provision then in effect) under the Securities Act. The term “Registrable Securities” means any and/or all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of a “Registrable Security.” In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be deemed to be made in the definition of “Registrable Security” as is appropriate in order to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the rights granted pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 2. Restrictions on Transfer. Each Investor acknowledges and understands that prior to the registration of the Securities as provided herein, the Securities are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Act. Each Investor understands that no disposition or transfer of the Securities may be made by Investor in the absence of (i) an opinion of counsel to the Investor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) such registration.
Section 3.
Registration Rights With Respect to the Securities.
(a)
The Company agrees that it will prepare and file with the Commission, within thirty (30) days from the Offer Termination Date (as defined in the
{A0034427.DOC}
Exhibit 10.1
Purchase Agreement), a registration statement (on Form S-3, or other appropriate registration statement form) under the Securities Act (the “Registration Statement”), at the sole expense of the Company (except as provided in Section 3(c) hereof), in respect of the Holders, so as to permit a public offering and resale of the Securities under the Act by the Holders as selling stockholders and not as underwriters.
The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the Offer Termination Date, or, if earlier, within five (5) days of SEC clearance to request acceleration of effectiveness. The number of shares designated in the Registration Statement to be registered shall include all the Securities sold under the Purchase Agreement. The Company will notify the Holders of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement within one Trading Day of such event.
(b)
The Company will maintain the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment filed under this Section 3 effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date that none of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement are or may become issued and outstanding, (ii) the date that all of the Securities have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, (iii) the date the Holders receive an opinion of counsel to the Company, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Holders, that the Securities may be sold under the provisions of Rule 144 without limitation as to volume, (iv) all Securities have been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive legend, (v) all Securities may be sold without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar provision then in effect under the Securities Act in the opinion of counsel to the Company (the “Effectiveness Period”), or (vi) three (3) years from the Effective Date.
(c)
All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement under subparagraph 3(a) and in complying with applicable securities and Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees of the Company) shall be borne by the Company. The Holders shall bear the cost of underwriting and/or brokerage discounts, fees and commissions, if any, applicable to the Securities being registered and the fees and expenses of their counsel. The Holders and their counsel shall have a reasonable period, not to exceed five (5) Trading Days, to review the proposed Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, prior to filing with the Commission, and the Company shall provide each Investor with copies of any comment letters received from the Commission with respect thereto within two (2) Trading Days of receipt thereof. The Company shall use its best efforts to qualify any of the securities for sale in such states as any Investor reasonably designates and shall furnish indemnification in the manner provided in Section 6 hereof. However, the Company shall not be required to qualify in any state which will require an escrow or other restriction relating to the Company and/or the sellers, or which will require the Company to qualify to do business in such state or require the Company to file therein any general consent to service of process. The Company at its expense will supply the Holders with copies of the applicable Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and other related documents in such quantities as may be reasonably requested by the Holders.
{A0034427.DOC}
Exhibit 10.1
(d)
The Company shall not be required by this Section 3 to include an Investor's Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement which is to be filed if, in the opinion of counsel for both the Holders and the Company (or, should they not agree, in the opinion of another counsel experienced in securities law matters acceptable to counsel for the Investor and the Company) the proposed offering or other transfer as to which such registration is requested is exempt from applicable federal and state securities laws and would result in all purchasers or transferees obtaining securities which are not “restricted securities”, as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(e)
The Company shall not be precluded from including in any registration statement which it is required to file pursuant to this Section 3 any other securities apart from the Registrable Securities.
(f)
If at any time or from time to time after the effective date of any Registration Statement, the Company notifies the Holders in writing of the existence of a Potential Material Event (as defined in Section 3(g) below), the Holders shall not offer or sell any Securities or engage in any other transaction involving or relating to Securities, from the time of the giving of notice with respect to a Potential Material Event until the Holders receive written notice from the Company that such Potential Material Event either has been disclosed to the public or no longer constitutes a Potential Material Event. If a Potential Material Event shall occur prior to the date a Registration Statement is required to be filed, then the Company’s obligation to file such Registration Statement shall be delayed until the Potential Material Event is no longer present. The Company must, if lawful, give the Holders notice in writing at least two (2) Trading Days prior to the first day of the blackout period.
(g)
“Potential Material Event” means any of the following: (a) the possession by the Company of material information not ripe for disclosure in a registration statement, as determined in good faith by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company that disclosure of such information in a Registration Statement would be detrimental to the business and affairs of the Company; or (b) any material engagement or activity by the Company which would, in the good faith determination of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company, be adversely affected by disclosure in a registration statement at such time, which determination shall be accompanied by a good faith determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Company that the applicable Registration Statement would be materially misleading absent the inclusion of such information.
Section 4. Cooperation with Company. The Holders will cooperate with the Company in all respects in connection with this Agreement, including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by the Company (which shall include all information regarding the Holders and proposed manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in any Registration Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities and entering into and performing their obligations under any underwriting agreement, if the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate any Investor to consent to be named as an underwriter in any Registration Statement. The obligation of the Company to
{A0034427.DOC}
Exhibit 10.1
register the Registrable Securities shall be absolute and unconditional as to those Securities which the Commission will permit to be registered without naming the Holders as underwriters.
Section 5. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to effect the registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the Act, the Company shall (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), as expeditiously as possible, subject to the Holders’ assistance and cooperation as reasonably required with respect to each Registration Statement:
(a) (i)
prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement whenever the Holders shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the same (including prospectus supplements with respect to the sales of Registrable Securities from time to time in connection with a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Act) and (ii) take all lawful action such that each of (A) the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (B) the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement thereto, does not at any time during the Registration Period include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(b) (i)
prior to the filing with the Commission of any Registration Statement (including any amendments thereto) and the distribution or delivery of any prospectus (including any supplements thereto), provide draft copies thereof to the Holders as required by Section 3(c) and reflect in such documents all such comments as the Holders (and their counsel) reasonably may propose respecting the Selling Shareholders and Plan of Distribution sections (or equivalents); (ii) furnish to each Investor such numbers of copies of a prospectus including a preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any prospectus, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents, as such Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor; and (iii) provide to each Investor copies of any comments and communications from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement, if lawful to do so;
(c)
register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders shall reasonably request (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(d) above), and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable each Investor to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor;
(d)
list such Registrable Securities on the Principal Market, if the
{A0034427.DOC}
Exhibit 10.1
listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such Principal Market;
(e)
notify each Investor at any time when a prospectus relating thereto covered by the Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Act, of the happening of any event of which it has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, subject to Section 3(g), and the Company shall prepare and file a curative amendment under Section 5(a) as quickly as commercially possible and during such period, the Holders shall not make any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement;
(f)
as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or other suspension of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the earliest possible time and take all lawful action to effect the withdrawal, recession or removal of such stop order or other suspension;
(g)
cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates for the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and enable such certificates for the Registrable Securities to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Holders reasonably may request and registered in such names as the Holders may request; and, within three (3) Trading Days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is declared effective by the Commission, deliver and cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to the Holders) an appropriate instruction and, to the extent necessary, an opinion of such counsel;
(h)
take all such other lawful actions reasonably necessary to expedite and facilitate the disposition by the Holders of their Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods therefor provided in the prospectus which are customary for issuers to perform under the circumstances;
(i)
in the event of an underwritten offering, promptly include or incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as the managers reasonably agree should be included therein and to which the Company does not reasonably object and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after it is notified of the matters to be included or incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and
(j)
maintain a transfer agent and registrar for its Common Stock.
Section 6. Indemnification.
(a)
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holders and each person, if any, who controls an Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act (each a “Distributing Investor”) against any losses,
{A0034427.DOC}
Exhibit 10.1
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), to which the Distributing Investor may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, or any related final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent, and only to the extent, that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by the Distributing Investor, its counsel, affiliates or any underwriter, specifically for use in the preparation thereof or (ii) by such Investor’s failure to deliver to the purchaser a copy of the most recent prospectus (including any amendments or supplements thereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability, which the Company may otherwise have.
(b)
To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Distributing Investor agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each officer and director of the Company or person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) to which the Company or any such officer, director or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, or any related final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration Statement, final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such Distributing Investor, its counsel, affiliates or any underwriter, specifically for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability, which the Distributing Investor may otherwise have. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Distributing Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Distributing Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(c)
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent the failure of the
{A0034427.DOC}
Exhibit 10.1
indemnified party to provide such written notification actually prejudices the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such action. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, assume the defense thereof, subject to the provisions herein stated and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to its final conclusion. The indemnified parties as a group shall have the right to employ one separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnifying party different from or in conflict with any legal defenses which may be available to the indemnified party or any other indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable only for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate firm of attorneys for the indemnified party, which firm shall be designated in writing by the indemnified party). No settlement of any action against an indemnified party shall be made without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such settlement includes a full release of claims against the indemnified party.
All fees and expenses of the indemnified party (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation in a manner not inconsistent with this Section and all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) shall be paid to the indemnified party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the indemnifying party; provided, that the 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.
Section 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the Securities Act in any case in which (i) the indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6 hereof but is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of Section 6 hereof provide for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any indemnified party, then the Company and the applicable Distributing Investor shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject
{A0034427.DOC}
Exhibit 10.1
(which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), in either such case (after contribution from others) on the basis of relative fault as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the applicable Distributing Investor on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Distributing Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. 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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7, in no event shall any (i) Investor be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 7 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of such Investor’s Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are registered under the Securities Act and (ii) underwriter be required to undertake liability to any person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the aggregate discount, commission or other compensation payable to such underwriter with respect to the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed pursuant to such Registration Statement.
Section 8.
Notices. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) hand delivered, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by facsimile, addressed as set forth in the Purchase Agreement or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed effective (a) upon hand delivery or delivery by facsimile, with accurate confirmation generated by the transmitting facsimile machine, at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received) or (b) on the first business day following the date of sending by reputable courier service, fully prepaid, addressed to such address, or (c) upon actual receipt of such mailing, if mailed. Either party hereto may from time to time change its address or facsimile number for notices under this Section 8 by giving at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such changed address or facsimile number to the other party hereto.
{A0034427.DOC}
Exhibit 10.1
Section 9. Assignment. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns.
