to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration
Statement shall be on Form S-1 (except if the Company is not then eligible to
register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-1, in which case such
registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The
Company shall cause the Registration Statement to become effective and remain
effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the
Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any
event no later than the Effectiveness Date. The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts (including, without limitation, amendment of any
Registration Statement or the filing of a Registration Statement on a different
form should the Company qualify to use such a form to keep a Registration
Statement that registers the sale by the Holder or its successors or assignees
of the Registrable Securities continuously effective under the Securities Act
until the date that is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable Securities
have been sold or (ii) three years after the date of this Agreement (the
“Effectiveness Period”).

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company
shall, by written notice to the Holder, advise the Holder that sales under the
Registration Statement after the Effectiveness Date might be unlawful due to the

other pending material financing, corporate

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

reorganization or other transaction or that an event shall have occurred as a
result of which it is reasonably expected that the Company’s financial
statements will be restated or the Registration Statement contains or will
contain a misstatement of a material fact or omit to make a statement required
to make the statements therein not misleading. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Holder shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Registration Statement until the Holder has received copies of
a supplemented or amended Prospectus or until the Holder is advised in writing
by the Company that the then-current Prospectus may be used and has received
copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference in such Prospectus.

 

3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the
provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under
the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

 

(a) prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement with respect to
such Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as possible to any comments
received from the SEC, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the Effectiveness
Period with respect thereto;

 

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to
the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration
of the Effectiveness Period;

 

(c) furnish to the Holder such number of copies of the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as
the Holder reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition
of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;

 

(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Holder’s
Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under the
securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as
the Holder may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not
for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a
foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to
consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; and

 

(e) immediately notify the Holder at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any
event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus
contained in such 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
light of the circumstances then existing.

4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall be responsible for, and hold the
Holders harmless for, all expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with
Sections 2(a), 2(b) and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all
registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with
state or provincial securities or “blue sky” laws, any fees of FINRA, transfer
taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars.

 

5. Indemnification.

 

(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the
Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless the Holder, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any,
who controls the Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Holder or
such persons 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 under which such
Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or
any amendment or supplement thereof, 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, and
will reimburse the Holder and each such person for any reasonable legal or other
expenses 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 (i) arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in
conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the Holder or any such
person in writing specifically for use in any such document or (ii) is pursuant
to such Holder’s use of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company
has provided written notice to Holder that the prospectus is outdated or
defective.

 

(b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the
Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Holder will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company
or such persons 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 which was furnished in writing by the Holder to
the Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in) the
Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered
under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus
or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof,
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, and will reimburse the Company and each such
person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action,

 

 

4

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

provided, however, that the Holder will be liable in any such case if and only
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability (i) arises out of
or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to
the Company by or on behalf of the Holder specifically for use in any such
document, or (ii) is pursuant to such Holder’s use of an outdated or defective
prospectus after the Company has provided written notice to Holder that the
prospectus is outdated or defective. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
paragraph, the Holder shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in
excess of the market value of the Registrable Securities at the date upon which
the claim for indemnification arose.

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification
hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action,
such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof
is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified
Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing
thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve
it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than
under this Section 5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it
may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) if and to the extent
the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action
shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the
Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and
undertake the defense thereof, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to
such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense
thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party
under this Section 5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified
Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees,
costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants
in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
and the Indemnified Party shall have concluded upon the written opinion of its
counsel that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or
that the interests of the Indemnified Party could reasonably be expected to
conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal
defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the
reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related
to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for the
Indemnified Parties.

 

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of
joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the
Holder, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Holder, if
applicable, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 but it
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 this Section 5 provides for indemnification
in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on
the part of the Holder or such officer, director or controlling person of

 

 

5

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Holder, if applicable, in circumstances for which indemnification is
provided under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and the
Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities
to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion
so that the Holder is responsible only for the portion represented by the
percentage that the public offering price of its securities covered by the
Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities
covered by such Registration Statement, provided, however, that, in any such
case, (A) the Holder will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such
Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

6. Representations and Warranties.

 

(a) The Common Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act, and during the last 12 months, the Company has filed all proxy
statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required
to be filed by it under the Exchange Act (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Each
SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in compliance in all material
respects with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC
Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the
SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted 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. The financial
statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all
material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published
rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with
respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during
the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim
statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed)
and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, the results
of operations and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a
consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC
Report.

 

(b) Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its
or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any
security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that
would cause the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Exchange
Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of
the Securities Act that would prevent the Company from selling the Common Shares
pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable
exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of
its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the
offering of the Registrable Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

 

(c) The Conversion Shares are restricted securities under the Securities Act as
of the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop transfer
order or other order impeding

 

 

6

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the sale and delivery of any of the Registrable Securities at such time as such
Registrable Securities are registered for public sale or an exemption from
registration is available, except as required by applicable securities laws.

 

(d) The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient
number of Common Shares for conversion of the Series C Preferred.

 

(e) The Company shall provide written notice to each Holder of the declaration
of effectiveness by the SEC of each Registration Statement required to be filed
hereunder within one (1) business day of the date of each such declaration.

 

7. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of
their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company,
as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted
by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled
to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.

 

(b) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in
connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement.

 

(c) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the
provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Company and the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable
Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from
the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the
rights of certain Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the
rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the
Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided,
however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or
supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence.

 

(d) Notices. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to the Company or the
Holder at the respective addresses set forth below or as may hereafter be
specified in a notice designated as a change of address under this Section 7(d).
Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by registered or certified mail,
