negotiations, or (B) such distribution would otherwise require premature disclosure of information that, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, would adversely affect or otherwise be detrimental to the Company; provided that the
Company shall not invoke this clause (i) more than once in any twelve (12) month period or for more than six (6) months in any such twelve (12) month period; 
 (ii) not more than once in any twelve (12) month period, for up to 30 days, upon the request of the Company if the Company proposes to file a
Registration Statement under the Act for the offering and sale of securities for its own account in an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter therefor shall advise the Company in writing that in its opinion the continued distribution of
the Registrable Securities would adversely affect the offering of the securities proposed to be registered for the account of the Company; and 
 (iii) for a period of up to sixty (60) days after the filing of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K or other event that requires the filing of a post-effective amendment to any Registration Statement hereunder, so long as the

 4 








 The Company shall promptly notify the Holders in writing at such time as (x) such transactions or negotiations have
been otherwise publicly disclosed or terminated, or (y) such non-public information has been publicly disclosed or counsel to the Company has determined that such disclosure is not required due to subsequent events. 
 (g) The Company shall (i) permit the Holders’ counsel to review (A) such Registration Statement, and all amendments and supplements

sections of such Registration Statement covering information with respect to the Holders, their and their Affiliates’ beneficial ownership of securities of the Company, and their intended method of disposition of Registrable Shares shall
conform to the information provided to the Company by the Holders. 
 (h) The Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2 shall
not include any securities other than Registrable Shares. 
 (i) The Company shall bear all of the Costs and Expenses of the Registration
pursuant to this Section 2. 
 3. Piggyback Registration. In the event that the Company shall propose a Registration at any time
when a Registration Statement(s) covering all Registrable Shares is not effective pursuant to Section 2 above, then the Company shall give to each Holder written notice (the “Registration Notice”) of such proposed Registration
(which notice shall include a statement of the proposed filing date thereof, the underwriters and/or managing underwriters of the subject offering, and any other known material information relating to the proposed Registration) not less than twenty
(20) or more than sixty (60) days prior to the filing of the subject Registration Statement, and shall, subject to the limitations provided in this Section 3, include in such Registration Statement all or a portion of the Registrable
Shares owned by and/or issuable to each Holder, as and to the extent that such Holder may request same to be so included by means of written notice given to the Company within ten (10) days after the Company’s giving of the Registration
Notice. Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or any part of its Registrable Shares from a Registration Statement by written notice to the Company given at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. The Company
shall bear all of the Costs and Expenses of any Registration described in this Section 3; provided, however, that each Holder shall pay, pro rata based upon the number of its Registrable Shares included therein, the
underwriters’ discounts, commissions and compensation attributable solely to the inclusion of such Registrable Shares in the overall public offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s obligation to
include a Holder’s Registrable Shares in any such Registration Statement shall be subject, at the option of the Company, to the following further conditions: 
  

 5 








 (a) The distribution for the account of such Holder shall be underwritten by the same underwriters (if
any) who are underwriting the distribution of the securities for the account of the Company and/or any other persons whose securities are covered by such Registration Statement, and shall be made at the same underwriter discount or commission
applicable to the distribution of the securities for the account of the Company and/or any other persons whose securities are covered by such Registration Statement; and such Holder shall enter into an agreement with such underwriters containing
customary indemnification and other provisions; 
 (b) If at any time after giving the Registration Notice, and prior to the effective date
of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration Notice, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the subject Registration, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to
the Holders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any of the Holders’ Registrable Shares in connection with such Registration; 
 (c) In connection with an underwritten public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement under this Section 3, if and only if the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall advise the Company in writing that, due
to adverse market conditions or the potential adverse impact on the offering to be made for the account of the Company, the securities to be included in such Registration will not include all of the Registrable Shares requested to be so included by
the Holders, then the Company will promptly furnish each such Holder with a copy of such written statement and may require, by written notice to each such Holder accompanying such written statement, that the distribution of all or a specified
portion of such Registrable Shares be excluded from such distribution (with any such “cutback” to be allocated among the subject Holders (and, if applicable, any other holders of Common Stock to be included in such Registration) in
proportion to the relative number of shares of Common Stock requested by such Persons to be included in such Registration); and 
 (d) The
Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Shares incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other employee
benefit plans.

to be sold for the account of any Holder, the Company, at its sole cost and expense (exclusive of items excluded in the proviso to the definition of “Costs and Expenses” above), will use its reasonable best efforts to: 
 (a) promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein as may be

instructions applicable to the form of such Registration Statement, and furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Shares covered thereby copies of any such supplement or amendment not less than three Business Days prior to the date first used and/or
filed with the SEC; and comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all the Shares to be included in such Registration Statement;

required to maintain in confidence and not disclose to any other person or entity any information or records reasonably designated by the Company in writing as being confidential, until such time as and to the extent that (i) such information
becomes a matter of public record or generally available to the public (whether by virtue of its inclusion in such Registration Statement or otherwise, other than by reason of a breach hereof), (ii) such party shall be required to disclose such
information pursuant to the subpoena or order of any court or other governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the matter, or (iii) such information is required to be set forth in such Registration Statement or the prospectus included

delivered on the closing date of any public offering of Shares. 
 (b) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and its
Affiliates, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for any Holder, each officer and director of a Holder, and each person, if any, who controls a Holder or such underwriter within the meaning of the Act, against any losses, expenses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Holder or any such Affiliate, underwriter, officer, director or controlling person becomes subject, under the Act or any rule or regulation thereunder or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
expenses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the effective date of the
Registration Statement), or contained, on the effective date thereof, in any Registration Statement in which Registrable Shares were included, the prospectus contained therein, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any other document related to
such Registration Statement, or (ii) 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, or (iii) arise
out of any violation by the Company of the Act or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to actions or omissions otherwise required of the Company in connection with such registration. The Company shall reimburse
each Holder and any such Affiliate, underwriter, officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder, or any such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person in connection with
investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such persons in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by such Person expressly
for inclusion in any of the foregoing documents. This indemnity shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In connection with any obligations of the Company to pay legal fees and expenses under this Section 5, the Company shall only be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one legal counsel for
all indemnified persons under this Section 5 in respect of any particular claim(s), unless, with respect to any indemnified person, in the reasonable judgment of such person’s counsel, such indemnified person (the “Subject
Indemnified Person”) cannot be adequately represented by the same legal counsel as the other indemnified persons pursuant to the ethical rules and regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, in which case the Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of an additional separate legal counsel for the Subject Indemnified Person. 
 6. Further Obligations of
Holders. The obligations of the Company with respect to any particular Holder are subject to such Holder’s agreement to the following (which such Holder shall specifically confirm in writing to the Company upon the Company’s request in
connection with any Registration Statement): 
 (a) Such Holder shall furnish in writing to the Company all information concerning such Holder
and its and its Affiliates’ holdings of securities of the Company and its Affiliates, and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement, as shall be reasonably required in connection with
the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement covering any of such Holder’s Registrable Shares.

 (b) Such Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who has signed a Registration Statement, each person (if any) who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, and any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for the Company, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person or underwriter may become subject under the Act or any rule or regulation thereunder or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
(i) are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus (if used prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement), or contained, on the effective date thereof, in
any Registration Statement in which such Holder’s Registrable Shares were included, the prospectus contained therein, any amendment or supplement thereto, or any other document related to such Registration Statement, or (ii) 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by such Holder in writing expressly for inclusion in any of the foregoing documents. In no
event shall any Holder be required to pay indemnification hereunder (or contribution under Section 7(d) below) in an aggregate amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder in the subject offering. This indemnity shall not apply
to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the subject Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 7. Additional Provisions. 
 (a) Each
Holder and each other Person indemnified pursuant to Section 5 above shall, in the event that it receives notice of the commencement of any action against it which is based upon an alleged act or omission which, if proven, would result in the
Company’s having to indemnify it pursuant to Section 5 above, promptly notify the Company, in writing, of the commencement of such action and permit the Company, if the Company so notifies such Holder within twenty (20) days after
receipt by the Company of notice of the commencement of the action, to participate in and to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Holder; provided, however, that such Holder or other
indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at its own expense (except that the indemnifying party shall bear the expense of such separate counsel under the circumstances described in the last sentence of Section 5 above).
The failure to notify the Company promptly of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to indemnify such Holder or such other indemnified person, as the case may be, under Section 5 above, except to the
extent 

  

 12 








 
that the Company shall be actually prejudiced or shall suffer any loss by reason of such failure to give notice, and shall not relieve the Company of any
other liabilities which it may have under this or any other agreement. 
 (b) The Company and each other Person indemnified pursuant to
Section 6 above shall, in the event that it receives notice of the commencement of any action against it which is based upon an alleged act or omission which, if proven, would result in any Holder having to indemnify it pursuant to
Section 6 above, promptly notify such Holder, in writing, of the commencement of such action and permit such Holder, if such Holder so notifies the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt by such Holder of notice of the commencement
of the action, to participate in and to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided, however, that the Company or other indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel
at the Company’s expense. The failure to notify any Holder promptly of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Holder of liability to indemnify the Company or such other indemnified person, as the case may be, under
Section 6 above, except to the extent that the subject Holder shall be actually prejudiced or shall suffer any loss by reason of such failure to give notice, and shall not relieve such Holder of any other liabilities which it may have under
this Agreement or any other agreement. 
 (c) No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the
consent of each indemnified person who is party to such claim or litigation, 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 person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each such indemnified person shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in
writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom. 
 (d) If the
indemnification provided for in Section 5 and 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, then, subject to the limits set forth in Section 6(b) above, each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to in Section 5 and 6, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Shares on the other hand in connection with statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) or expenses, 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 or the sellers of Shares and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and
the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if all sellers of Shares were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by another
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this Section. The amount paid by an indemnified person as a result of the expenses, claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or
actions 

  

 13 








 
or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to in the first sentence of this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified person in connection with investigating or defending any claim, action or proceeding which is the subject of this Section 7(d). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of sellers of Shares to contribute pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall be several in
proportion to the respective amounts of Shares sold by them pursuant to a Registration Statement. 
 8. Rule 144 Information. For so
long as the Company shall remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, the Company will at all times keep publicly available adequate current public information with respect to the Company of the type and in the manner specified in Rule 144(c)
promulgated under the Act, and shall furnish to each Holder, promptly upon request, (a) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Act and the Exchange Act, (b) a copy of the
most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (c) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities under Rule 144
without registration. 
 9. Limitations on Other Registration Rights. The Company (a) is not on the date of this Agreement party
to or bound by any agreement or commitment, and (b) from and after the date of this Agreement, shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares then outstanding and/or issuable, enter into any
agreement or commitment, which in any case would require the Company to include such securities in any Registration filed under Section 2 above. 
 10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, by telecopier (with confirmation of
receipt), by recognized overnight courier service (with all charges prepaid or billed to the account of the sender), or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and with postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to the Company, at its
office at 1600 Manor Drive, Suite 110, Chalfont, Pennsylvania 18914, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, Telecopier: (215) 997-7711, or such other address or telecopier number as shall have been specified by the Company to the Holders by
written notice, with a copy marked to the attention of General Counsel at the same address and telecopier number, or (b) if to any Holder, at his, her or its address or telecopier number as same appears on the records of the Company. All
notices shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of the delivery or telecopy (with confirmation of receipt) thereof, or, if sent by overnight courier, on the next business day following delivery thereof to the overnight courier service,
or, if mailed, at the completion of the third business day following the time of such mailing. 
 11. Waiver and Amendment. No waiver,
amendment or modification of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall be valid unless evidenced by a writing duly executed by the Company and Holders holding, in the aggregate, a majority of the Registrable Shares then outstanding and/or
issuable; provided, however, that in the event that any such waiver, amendment or modification adversely affects the rights and/or obligations of the Holders of a minority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares in a different
manner than the holders of a 
  

 14 








 
majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares, such waiver, amendment or modification shall also require the consent of the Holders of a minority of
the then outstanding Registrable Shares so adversely affected. No waiver of any default hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other, prior or subsequent default hereunder. No waiver of any default hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other,
prior or subsequent default hereunder. 
 12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall (irrespective of the place where it is executed and
delivered) be governed, construed and controlled by and under the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law). 

13. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to benefit of the Company and the Holders and their respective
successors in interest from time to time. 
 14. Captions. The captions and Section headings used in this Agreement are for
convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof. 
 15.

 16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and
understandings of every kind and nature between them as to such subject matter.

 Agreement 
 [Date] 
 [Name and address

	 	RE:	ClearPoint Business Resources, Inc. 

 Ladies and Gentlemen:

 We are counsel to ClearPoint Business Resources, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the
“Company”), and we understand that [Name of Investor] (the “Holder”) has purchased from the Company warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Company. Pursuant to a
Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of                     , 200    , by and among the Company and the
signatories thereto (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), the Company agreed with the Holder, among other things, to register the Registrable Shares (as that term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), upon the terms provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on
                    , 200    , the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form
S-             (File No. 333-                     ) (the
“Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Shares, which names the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder. The Registration Statement was
declared effective by the SEC on                     , 200    . 
 [Other customary introductory and scope of examination language to be inserted] 
 Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Registrable Securities have been registered under the Securities Act. 
 [Other customary language to be included.] 
 Very truly yours, 
  

	cc:	[Name of Investor]
