Registration

Shelf
Registration:
|
2.1.1
|
Except
as may otherwise be prohibited by that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2007, by and among the
Company and the
investors listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached hereto,
at
any time after two (2) years following the Closing and until
such date
that all Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held
upon exercise
by the Holder may be sold without
any limitation under the
Act (the “Registration Period”), the Holder may request up to two
registrations (or more than two registrations, to the extent
expressly
provided below) of all its Registrable Securities (“Shelf
Request”).
|
|
Upon
receipt of a Shelf Request, the Company shall prepare and file
with the
SEC as soon as practically reasonable, but in any event within
sixty (60)
calendar days of the Shelf Request) a Registration Statement
on Form SB-2
(or, if Form SB-2 is not then available to the Company, on
such form of
Registration Statement as is then available to effect a registration
for
resale of the Registrable Securities) covering the resale of
the number of
Registrable Securities requested by the Holder to be
registered.
|
||
The
Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective and keep such Registration Statement
effective until the distribution contemplated in the Registration
Statement has been completed.
|
||
2.1.2
|
If,
for any reason, the effectiveness of the aforesaid Registration
Statement
is terminated prior to achievement of a Complete Sale, the
Holder shall
again be granted the right to make a Shelf Request (deemed
to be the same
Request as the aborted one), and the Company shall again act
as provided
in sub-section 2.1.1 above, until achievement of a Complete
Sale.
|
2
2.1.3
|
Notwithstanding
the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to the
Holder a
certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that
in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be materially
detrimental
to the Company and its stockholders for such Registration Statement
to
either become effective or remain effective for as long as
such
Registration Statement otherwise would be required to remain
effective,
because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant
acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction
involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of
material
information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose
for
preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable
to comply
with requirements under SEC requirements, then the Company
shall have the
right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for
a period of
not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt
of the
request of the Holder pursuant to Section 2.1.1 above, provided,
however,
that such right to defer a request shall be exercised by the
Company not
more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided,
further,
that the Company shall not register other shares during such
deferral
period.
|
|
Additionally,
the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any
action to
effect, any registration pursuant to a Shelf Request during
the period
that is sixty (60) days before the Company’s good faith estimate of the
date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred
eighty (180)
days after the effective date of, a separate Company-initiated
registration, provided, that the Company is actively employing
in good
faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration
Statement
to become effective and provided, further, that the Company
shall not
register other shares during such period.
|
||
2.1.4
|
Nothing
in this Section 2.1 shall prevent the Company from including
Company
securities currently held by other shareholders of the Company,
in a
Registration Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to a Shelf
Request;
subject to the cut-back provisions in sub-section 2.1.5
below.
|
|
2.1.5
|
In
the event described in section 2.1.4 above, if the SEC, the
lead
underwriter (in case of an underwritten registration) or
the lead placement agent (in case of a “best efforts” registered direct
offering)
requires the Company
to
limit the number of its securities being registered under such
Registration Statement, then the number of registrable securities
that are
requested to be registered by such other shareholders will
be reduced as
is necessary to satisfy such limitation, without reducing the
number of
Registrable Securities that are requested to be registered
by the
Holder.
|
2.2 Piggyback
Registration:
2.2.1
|
During
the Registration Period, whenever the Company proposes to file
a
Registration Statement covering any of its securities for its own
account
or for the account of any other person (other than a Registration
Statement on Form X-0, X-0 or any equivalent or successor forms),
it shall
give notice to the Holder of such intention. Upon the written request
of
the Holder, given within twenty (20) days after receipt of any
such
notice, the Company shall include in such registration all of the
Registrable Securities indicated in such request, so as to permit
the
disposition of such Registrable Securities in the manner requested
by the
Holder.
|
|
2.2.2
|
In
the event described in section 2.2.1 above, if the SEC, the lead
underwriter (in case of an underwritten registration)
or the lead placement agent (in case of a “best efforts” registered direct
offering)
requires the Company to limit the number of its securities being
registered under such Registration Statement, then there shall
be excluded
from such registration Registrable Securities held by the Holder
and
registrable securities that are held by other shareholders of the
Company
who are entitled to have their shares included in such registration
(but
not shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company to the public),
pro
rata among them, to the extent necessary to satisfy such
limitation.
|
|
2.2.3
|
The
Company shall have the right at any time, after giving notice to
the
Holder, to elect not to file any Registration Statement proposed
to be
filed under Section 2.2.1 above.
|
|
2.2.4
|
For
the purposes of clarity, if the Holder elects to piggyback a registration
for the account of the Company or for the account of any other
person, and
if such registration is not underwritten, the Holder shall not
have the
right to demand that such registration be part of an underwritten
offering.
|
2.3 |
Expenses.
The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration,
including underwriting fees (in case of an underwritten registration),
filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and
expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities
for
sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees; but
excluding discounts, commissions and fees for selling brokers, dealer
managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect
to the
Registrable Securities being sold.
|
2.4 |
Holder
Information.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company’s obligations
hereunder shall be suspended with respect to the Registrable Securities
in
the event that the Holder fails to provide promptly to the Company
such
information as the Company may reasonably request at any time, provided
that the Company shall request such information only to the extent
required to enable the Company to comply with any applicable law
or
regulation or to facilitate preparation of a Registration
Statement.
|
3
2.5 |
Suspension:
|
2.5.1
|
Subject
to Section 2.5.2 below, in the event of: (1) any request by the
SEC or any
other U.S. federal or state governmental authority during the
effective
period for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement
or
related prospectus or for additional information, (2) the issuance
by the
SEC or any other U.S. federal or state governmental authority
of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement
or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (3) the receipt
by the
Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the
qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of
any
proceeding for such purpose, or (4) any event or circumstance
which
necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement
or
Prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, so that the Registration Statement and
the
Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact and
will not omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then
the Company
shall deliver a certificate in writing to the Holder (“Suspension Notice”)
to the effect of the foregoing (which notice will not disclose
the content
of any material non-public information and will indicate the
date of the
beginning and end of the intended period of suspension, if known),
and,
upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Holder will discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement or Prospectus (“Suspension”) until the Holder's receipt of
copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus prepared and filed
by the
Company, or until the Holder is advised in writing by the Company
that the
current Prospectus may be used, and have received copies of any
additional
or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated
by
reference in any such prospectus. In the event of any Suspension,
the
Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the use of the
Prospectus
so suspended to be resumed as soon as possible after delivery
of a
Suspension Notice to the Holder, and the Company will make all
necessary
amendments that may be required for that purpose.
|
|
The
Suspension and Suspension Notice described in this Section 2.5.1
shall be
held by the Holder in strictest confidence and shall not be disclosed
by
the Holder, except as required by applicable law or by the rules
of any
securities authority or stock exchange.
|
||
2.5.2
|
Provided
that a Suspension is not then in effect, the Holder may sell
Registrable
Securities under a Registration Statement, provided that the
Holder
arranges for delivery of a current Prospectus to the transferee
of such
Registrable Securities to the extent such delivery is required
by
applicable law. In the event of a sale of Registrable Securities
by the
Holder, the Holder must also deliver to the Company’s transfer agent, with
a copy to the Company, a certificate of subsequent sale reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, so that ownership of the Registrable
Securities may be properly transferred. The Company will cooperate
to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
(unless
otherwise required by applicable law) representing Registrable
Securities
sold.
|

the Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject

Indemnification
by the Company.

directors,
officers, agents and consultants (each an “Indemnified Party”) against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
they
may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out
of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement
of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any
preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement
thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed
by the

called
a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) 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; (iv) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation
promulgated under the Act or any other law applicable to the Company
or
its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company
in
connection with such registration; or (v) any failure or alleged
failure
to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any
such
Registration in any state where the Company or its agents has
affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company
will
undertake such registration or qualification on the Holder’s behalf; and
the Company will reimburse the Holder and each Indemnified Party
for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability
or
action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable
in any such
case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability
arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged
untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity
with
information furnished by the Holder in writing specifically for
use in
such Registration Statement or Prospectus; or (ii) the use of an
outdated
or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified the Holder
in
writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective pursuant to
Section
2.5 or Section 3.6 above.
|
|
For
the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.1 will
remain in
full force and effect and survive the sale by the Holder of the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement.
|
6
6.2
|
Indemnification
by the Holder.
the Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its
directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns,
and each
person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Act)
against
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including
reasonable
attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission
of a
material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement
or
Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make
the
statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the
extent,
that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission is contained in information furnished in writing by the
Holder to
the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement
or
preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus or amendment or supplement
thereto.
In no event shall the liability of the Holder be greater in amount
than
the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by the
Holder
in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the
amount of
any damages the Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason
of
such untrue statement or omission) received by the Holder upon
the sale of
the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement
giving
rise to such indemnification obligation.
|
|
For
the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.2 will
remain in
full force and effect and survive the sale by the Holder of the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement.
|
6.3
|
Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings.
Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give
prompt
notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to
which it
seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party
to assume
the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the
indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification
hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and
to
participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses
of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a)
the
indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or
(b) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of
such claim
and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person, or
(c) in the
reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice
of its
counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and
the
indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case,
if the
person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person
elects
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying
party, the
indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense
of such
claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that
the failure
of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall
not
relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder,
except to the
extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely
affect
the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation.
It
is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection
with
any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or
expenses of
more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all
such
indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with
the consent
of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or
enter into
any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term
thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party
of a release
from all liability in respect of such claim or
litigation.
|
|
6.4
|
Contribution.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding
paragraphs 6.1 and 6.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party
or
insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified
therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid
or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss,
claim,
damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the
relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
|
|
No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning
of
Section 11(f) of the Act shall be entitled to contribution from
any person
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
|
||
In
no event shall the contribution obligation of the Holder be greater
in
amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses
paid by
the Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section
6 and the
