Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities for an offering to be




2









 








made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form
S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities
on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance
herewith). The Company shall cause the Registration Statement to become effective and remain
effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial 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 reasonable commercial efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective
under the Securities Act until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable
Securities have been sold or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be sold immediately without
registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k), as
determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect,
addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (the
“Effectiveness Period”).




          (b) In addition to the terms of Section 4 of the Warrant, if: (i) after the Registration
Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, the Registration Statement ceases
to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable Securities to which it is
required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (without being
succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) other
than during an “Allowable Suspension Period” (as defined below) for a period of time which shall
exceed thirty (30) Trading Days in the aggregate per year (defined as a period of 365 days
commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective) or more than twenty (20)
consecutive calendar days; (ii) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from
trading on any Trading Market for a period of three (3) consecutive Trading Days (provided the
Company shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within thirty (30) days of the
notice thereof or within such period list the Common Stock on another Trading Market); or (iii) an
Allowable Suspension Period shall have been exceeded; (any such failure or breach being referred to
as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (iii) the date which such thirty (30) Trading Day
or twenty (20) consecutive calendar day period (as the case may be) is exceeded, or for purposes of
clause (ii) the date on which such three (3) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as
“Event Date”)), then until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an
amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% for each thirty (30) day
period (prorated for partial periods) on a daily basis of the original principal amount of the
Note. While such Event continues, such liquidated damages shall be paid not less often than each
thirty (30) days. Any unpaid liquidated damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the
Company shall be paid (prorated for partial periods) within three (3) days following the date on
which such Event has been cured by the Company.




          (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall, by written
notice to Purchaser, advise Purchaser that sales under the Registration Statement after the
Effectiveness Date might be unlawful due to the fact that the Company is engaged in a material
merger, acquisition or sale, or 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




3









 








required to make the statements therein not misleading. Upon receipt of such notice,
Purchaser shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Registration Statement until Purchaser has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus
or until Purchaser 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. Any period of not more than twenty (20)
consecutive calendar days or more than thirty (30) Trading Days in any twelve month period
commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective during which Purchaser
shall not sell or where use of the Registration Statement might be unlawful shall be referred to as
an “Allowable Suspension Period”, provided that at least two (2) Trading Days shall elapse between
Allowable Suspension Periods.




     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 Commission the Registration Statement with respect to such
Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the
Commission, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to
become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and promptly provide
to the Purchaser copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;




          (b) 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 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 Purchaser such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser 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 Purchaser’s Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser 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;




          (e) list the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement with any national
securities exchange or the National or SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or the NASD
OTC Bulletin Board or the National Quotation Bureau’s Pink Sheets on which the Common Stock of the
Company is then listed;




4









 








          (f) immediately notify the Purchaser 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; and




          (g) make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent
retained by the Purchaser, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably
requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.




     4. Registration Expenses. All expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2
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
securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and
registrars, fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Holders, are called
“Registration Expenses”. All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities,
including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in
Registration Expenses, are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company shall only be responsible for
all Registration Expenses.



     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 Purchaser, and its
officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of
the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which
the Purchaser, 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 Purchaser, 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 Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such document or (ii) is
pursuant to such Purchaser’s use of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has
provided written notice to Purchaser that the prospectus is outdated or defective.




5









 








          (b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act
pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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, provided,
however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if 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 so made in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any
such document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be
required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds
received by the Purchaser in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such
registration under the Securities Act.




          (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




6









 








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.




          (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 Purchaser, or any officer, director or
controlling person of the Purchaser, 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 Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the
Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in
each such case, the Company and the Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 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 Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act and, except with respect to certain matters which the Company has disclosed to the
Purchaser on Schedule 4.21 to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has filed all proxy
statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it
under the Exchange Act. The Company has filed (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2002 and (ii) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters
ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”).
Except as set forth on Schedule 4.21 to the Securities Purchase Agreement, each SEC Report was, at
the time of its filing, in substantial compliance 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 Commission
or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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




7









 








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) The Common Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market System and satisfies
the requirements for the continuation of such listing in all material respects. The Company has
not received any notice from the NASD or Nasdaq that its Common Stock will be delisted from the
Nasdaq National Market System or that its Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the
continuation of such listing.




          (c) 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 Securities Purchase Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company
for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Common Stock
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.




          (d) The Warrant, the Note and the shares of Common Stock which the Purchaser may acquire
pursuant to the Warrant and the Note are all 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 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 federal or state securities laws.




          (e) The Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the
conversion of the Note and the exercise of the Warrant and recognizes that the issuance of such
Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges
that its obligation to issue the Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable
regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders
of the Company.




          (f) Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that
has not been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form
required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach of which could reasonably be
expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or would
prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of
its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.




          (g) The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock for the full conversion of the Note and exercise of the Warrant.




     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




8









 








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) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule
7(e) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in
such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement
other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into
any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement to any
of its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(e) hereto, the
Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect
to any of its securities to any Person that have not been fully satisfied.




          (c) 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.




          (d) Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable
Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation
Event (as hereinafter defined), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such
Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of
the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is
advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be
resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that
are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration
Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this
paragraph. For purposes of this Section 7(d), a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the
Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and
whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall
provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders);
(ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for
amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional
information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of
such Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of
any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) 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 or threatening of any Proceeding for
such purpose; and/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial
statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any
statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any
revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of
such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any 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.




9









 








          (e) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an
effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall
determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity
securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or
their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option
or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such
determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall
so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of
such Registrable Securities such holder requests to be registered to the extent the Company may do
so without violating registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this Agreement,
subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and
subject to obtaining any required the consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under
such registration statement.




          (f) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of
this sentence, 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.




          (g) Notices. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to the Company or the Purchaser 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(g). Any notice or request hereunder shall be given by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, hand delivery, overnight mail or telecopy

to have been given when delivered to any party to whom it is addressed, in the case of those by
mail or overnight mail, deemed to have been given three (3) business days after the date when
deposited in the mail or with the overnight mail carrier, and, in the case of a telecopy, when

each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by
facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.




          (j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any Proceeding
brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be brought only in any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan,
City of New York; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude

jurisdiction and nothing shall be deemed to preclude the Company from asserting any defenses or
counterclaims in any such Proceedings. Both parties and the individuals executing this Agreement
on behalf of such parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by
jury. Both parties and the individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of such parties further
consent that any summons, subpoena or other process or papers (including, without limitation, any

Agreement on behalf of such parties waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action
instituted hereon in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, County of New York, or the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York and shall not assert any defense based
on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens for any
Proceeding filed in either such court. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the

agree to settle any Proceeding brought by one party hereto against the other party hereto, then
each of the parties shall bear its own costs in connection with such Proceeding, unless otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

remedies provided by law.




          (l) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder
of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force
and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall
use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or
restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they
would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including
any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
