or indirectly, all of the capital stock of each Subsidiary free and clear of
any and all Liens, and all the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
of each Subsidiary are validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any of the material
provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws
or other organizational or charter documents. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.1(b), the Company and each Subsidiary are duly qualified to conduct its
respective businesses and are in good standing as a foreign corporation or
other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted

individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the
requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the

action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the
Company in connection therewith. Each Transaction Document has been (or upon
delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in
accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding
obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws
relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors rights and
remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of
the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of
the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of the Companys or any Subsidiarys certificate or
articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents,
or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or
lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or
other instrument (evidencing a Company or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) to
which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which any property or
asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound, or (iii) result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other
restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company or a
Subsidiary is subject (including federal and state securities laws and
regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Company or a Subsidiary
is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii),
such as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Filings, Consents
and Approvals. The Company is not
required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any
notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal,
state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with
the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction
Documents, other than (i) the filing with the Commission of one or more
Registration Statements in accordance with the requirements of the Registration
Rights Agreement, (ii) filings required by state securities laws, (iii) the
filing of a Notice of Sale of Securities on Form D with the Commission under
Regulation D of the Securities Act, (iv) the filings required in accordance

(f) Issuance of the
Securities. The Securities have been
duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the
Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens. The Company has reserved from its
duly authorized capital stock the Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
(g) Capitalization. The number of shares and type of all
authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, and all shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Companys various option and
incentive plans as of September 30, 2006, is accurately set forth in the SEC
Reports. Except as specified in the SEC Reports, no securities of the Company
are entitled to preemptive or similar rights. No Person has any right of first
refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to
participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except
as specified in the SEC Reports, and other than stock options granted pursuant
to the Companys stock option plans following September 30, 2006, there are no
outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe to, calls or
commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or
obligations convertible into or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any
right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock, or contracts,
commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any
Subsidiary is or may become bound to issue additional shares of Common Stock,
or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common
Stock. The issue and sale of the Securities will not, immediately or with the
passage of time, obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other
securities to any Person (other than the Investors) and will not result in a
right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion,
exchange or reset price under such securities.
(h) SEC Reports;
Financial Statements. The Company
has filed all reports, forms and schedules required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) thereof, for the twelve months preceding the date hereof (or such shorter
period as the Company was required by law to file such reports) (the foregoing
materials being collectively referred to herein as the SEC Reports
and, together with the Schedules to this Agreement (if any), the Disclosure Materials)
on a timely basis or has timely filed a valid extension of such time of filing
and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such
extension. The SEC Reports, as amended, when filed, complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of
the SEC Reports, as amended, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order 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, as amended, comply in
all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and
regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of
filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
applied on a consistent basis during the periods
7
involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such
financial statements or the notes thereto, and fairly present in all material
respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows
for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to
normal, year-end audit adjustments.
(i) Material Changes. Since the date of the latest audited
financial statements included within the SEC Reports, except as specifically
disclosed in the SEC Reports, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or
development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities
(contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables, accrued expenses and
other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Companys
financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings
made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of
accounting or the identity of its auditors, (iv) the Company has not declared
or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its
stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or
redeem any shares of its capital stock (other than in connection with
repurchases of unvested stock issued to employees of the Company), and (v) the
Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or
Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans.
(j) Litigation. There is no Action which (i) adversely
affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the
Transaction Documents or the Securities or (ii) except as specifically
disclosed in the SEC Reports, could, if there were an unfavorable decision,
individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any
director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been
the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under
federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, except
as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports. There has not been, and to the
knowledge of the Company, there is not pending any investigation by the
Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer
of the Company (in his or her capacity as such). The Commission has not issued
any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration
statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the Exchange Act or the
Securities Act.
(k) Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is
in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not
been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a
default by the Company or any Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or any
Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is
in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement
or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is
bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in
violation of, or in receipt of notice that it is in violation of, any order of
any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in
violation of, or in receipt of notice that it is in violation of, any statute,
rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation
all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes,
8
environmental protection, occupational health and
safety, product quality and safety, employment and labor matters and, to its
knowledge, privacy, except in each case as could not, individually or in the
aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. The Company is in compliance with all effective requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations
thereunder, that are applicable to it, except where such noncompliance could
not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(l) Regulatory
Permits. Except as set forth on Schedule
3.1(l), the Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates,
authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or
foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses
as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such
permits could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such permits.
(m) Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good
and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is
material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all
personal property owned by them that is material to their respective
businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens as do
not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially
interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the
Company and the Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease
by the Company and the Subsidiaries are held by them under leases valid,
subsisting and enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiaries, and the
Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with such leases, except as
could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Patents and
Trademarks. The Company and the
Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications,
trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
licenses and other similar rights that are necessary or material for use in
connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and
which the failure to so have could, individually or in the aggregate, have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (collectively,
the Intellectual Property
Rights). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
received a written notice that the Intellectual Property Rights used by the
Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person
and the Company has no knowledge of any such violation or infringement. Except
as set forth in the SEC Reports, to the knowledge of the Company, all such
Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable.
(o) Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured
by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and
risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary for enterprises of
similar size and stage of development in the businesses in which the Company
and the Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it
will not be able to renew its and the Subsidiaries existing insurance coverage
as and when
9
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage
from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on terms
consistent with market for the Companys and such Subsidiaries respective
lines of business.
(p) Transactions With
Affiliates and Employees. Except as
set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of the Company
and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company is
presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any Subsidiary
required to be disclosed in the SEC Reports (other than for services as
employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments
to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the
Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a
substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.
(q) Internal Accounting
Controls. The Company and the
Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with managements general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to
assets is permitted only in accordance with managements general or specific
authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken
with respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures
to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its
Subsidiaries, is made known to the certifying officers by others within those
entities. The Companys certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of
the Companys controls and procedures in accordance with Item 307 of Regulation
S-B under the Exchange Act for the Companys fiscal quarter ended September 30,
2006 (such date, the Evaluation
Date). The Company presented in its most recently filed
Form 10-QSB the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness
of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the
Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant
changes in the Companys internal controls (as such term is defined in Item
308(c) of Regulation S-B under the Exchange Act) or, to the Companys
knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Companys
internal controls which was required to be disclosed in the SEC Reports and was
not so disclosed.

commissions owed by an Investor pursuant to written agreements executed by such

in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
10

Maintenance Requirements. Except as
specified in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the two years preceding
the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market to the effect that the

thereof. The Company is, and has no
reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in
compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing
of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is
currently listed or quoted. The issuance
and sale of the Securities under the Transaction Documents does not contravene

currently listed or quoted, and no approval of the shareholders of the Company
thereunder is required for the Company to issue and deliver to the Investors
the Securities contemplated by Transaction Documents.
(u) Investment

taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control
share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any
distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover
provision under the Companys Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter
documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become
applicable to the Investors as a result of the Investors and the Company
fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction
Documents, including without limitation the Companys issuance of the
Securities and the Investors ownership of the Securities.
(w) No Additional
Agreements. The Company does not
have any agreement or understanding with any Investor with respect to the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than as specified
in the Transaction Documents.
(x) Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any
Person acting on its behalf has provided any Investor or its respective agents
or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material,
non-public information except insofar as the existence and terms of the
proposed transactions hereunder may constitute such information. The Company
understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing
representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the
Company. All disclosure provided to the
Investors regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated
hereby, furnished by or on behalf of the Company (including the Companys
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement) are true and
correct and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the
11
statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(y) Insolvency. The Company is not as of the date hereof, and
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the
Closing will not, be Insolvent. For
purposes of this Agreement, Insolvent shall mean, with respect to any Person,
that (i) such Person is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and
matured or (ii) such Person intends to incur or believes that it will incur
debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature.
(z) Transfer Taxes. On the Closing Date, all stock transfer or
other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid
in connection with the sale and transfer of the Securities to be sold to each
Investor hereunder will be, or will have been, fully paid or provided for by
the Company, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been
complied with by the Company, except where such noncompliance could not have or
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(aa) Tax Status. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.1(aa),
the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has made or filed all foreign,
federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations
required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has paid all taxes
and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount,
shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except
those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books
provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply,
except where the failure to do so could not have or reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by
the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know
of no basis for any such claim.
(bb) Undisclosed
Liabilities. No event, liability,
development or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company
or its respective business, properties, prospects, operations or financial
condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission promulgated thereunder relating to an issuance and sale by the
Company of its securities and which has not been reported in accordance with
such rules and regulations of the Commission.
(cc) Employee Relations. Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a
union. The Company and its Subsidiaries
believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) has notified
the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the
Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officers employment
with the Company or any such Subsidiary.
No executive officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the
knowledge of the Company or any such Subsidiary, is now, or expects to be, in
violation of any
12
material term of any employment contract,
confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement,
non-competition agreement, or any other contract, agreement or any restrictive
covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not
subject the Company or any such Subsidiary to any liability with respect to any
of the foregoing matters. The Company
and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state and local laws
and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and
benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where
failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no complaints or charges against
the Company or its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, threatened to be filed with any Governmental Authority or
arbitrator based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating
to the employment or termination of employment by the Company or its
Subsidiaries of any individual, that would be reasonably likely to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.
(dd) Subsidiary Rights. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has
the unrestricted right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by
applicable law) to receive dividends and distributions on, all capital securities
of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such Subsidiary.
(ee) Off Balance Sheet
Arrangements. There is no
transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company and an
unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be
disclosed by the Company in its SEC Reports and is not so disclosed or that
otherwise would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.2 Representations
and Warranties of the Investors.
Each Investor hereby, for itself and for no other Investor, represents
and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization;
Authority. Such Investor is an
entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or
partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise
to carry out its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery and
performance by such Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Investor is not
a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable
like action, on the part of such Investor.
Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement has been
duly executed by such Investor, and when delivered by such Investor in
accordance with terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding
obligation of such Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating
to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors rights and remedies
or by other equitable principles of general application.
(b) Investment Intent. Such Investor is acquiring the Securities as
principal for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view
to or for distributing or
13
reselling such Securities or any part thereof, without
prejudice, however, to such Investors right at all times to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable
federal and state securities laws.
Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein
shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Investor to hold the
Securities for any period of time. Such
Investor is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its
business. Such Investor does not have any agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.
(c) Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the
Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an accredited investor as
defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Such Investor is not a registered
broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.
(d) General
Solicitation. Such Investor is not
purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or
other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper,
magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at
any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(e) Access to
Information. Such Investor
acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and has been
afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary
of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of
investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and
the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations,
business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to
evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional
information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable
effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision
with respect to the investment. Neither
such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such
Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such
Investors right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the
Disclosure Materials and the Companys representations and warranties contained
in the Transaction Documents.
(f) Certain Trading
Activities. Such Investor has not
directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to
any understanding with such Investor, engaged in any transactions in the
securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any Short Sales
involving the Companys securities) since the time that such Investor was first
contacted by the Company regarding the investment in the Company contemplated
by this Agreement. Such Investor
covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any
understanding with it will engage in any transactions in the securities of the
Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company. Such Investor has maintained, and covenants
that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are
publicly disclosed by the Company such Investor will maintain, the
confidentiality of any disclosures made to it in connection with this
transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Such Investor understands and acknowledges,
that the Commission currently takes
14
the position that coverage of Short Sales against the
box prior to the Effective Date of the Registration Statement is a violation
of Section 5 of the Securities Act, as set forth in Item 65, Section A, of the
Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997,
compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance.
(g) Independent
Investment Decision. Such Investor
has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Securities
pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and such Investor confirms that it has
not relied on the advice of any other Investors business and/or legal counsel
in making such decision. Such Investor
has not relied on the business or legal advice of the Company or any of its
agents, counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision hereunder, and
confirms that none of such Persons has made any representations or warranties
to such Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents.
(h) [Reserved]
The Company
acknowledges and agrees that no Investor has made or makes any representations
or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than
those specifically set forth in this Section 3.2.
ARTICLE
IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
Section 4.1 (a) Securities may only be disposed of in
compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the
Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement, to the
Company, to an Affiliate of an Investor or in connection with a pledge as
contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof
to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the
form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such
transferred Securities under the Securities Act.
(b) Certificates
evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, until such time as
they are not required under Section 4.1(c):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN
RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD
EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO,
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A
15
LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH
EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE
COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED
IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that an Investor may from time to
time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities
pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in connection with a bona fide margin
account and, if required under the terms of such agreement or account, such
Investor may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured
parties. Such a pledge or transfer would
not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of
legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in
connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion may be required in
connection with a subsequent transfer following default by the Investor
transferee of the pledge. No notice
shall be required of such pledge. At the
appropriate Investors expense, the Company will execute and deliver such
reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may
reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities
including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under
Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the
Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders
thereunder.
(c) Certificates
evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set
forth in Section 4.1(b)): (i) following a sale or transfer of such Shares
pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration
Statement), or (ii) following a sale or transfer of such Shares pursuant to
Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii)
while such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if such
legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Staff of
the Commission). Upon the earlier of (i)
the Effective Date or (ii) Rule 144(k) becoming available for the resale of
Registrable Securities, Company shall (A) deliver to the transfer agent for the
Common Stock (the Transfer
Agent) irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall
reissue a certificate representing shares of Common Stock without legends upon
receipt by such Transfer Agent of the legended certificates for such shares,
together with either (1) a customary representation by the Investor that Rule
144(k) applies to the shares of Common Stock represented thereby or (2) a
statement by the Investor that such Investor has sold the shares of Common
Stock represented thereby in accordance with the Plan of Distribution contained
in the Registration Statement, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to the
Transfer Agent one or more blanket opinions to the effect that the removal of
such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act. From and after the earlier of such dates,
upon an Investors written request, the Company shall promptly cause
certificates evidencing the Investors Shares to be replaced with certificates
which do not bear such restrictive legends.
When the Company is required to cause unlegended certificates to replace
previously issued legended certificates under this Section, if unlegended
certificates are not delivered to an Investor within three (3) Trading Days of
submission by that Investor of legended certificate(s) to the Transfer Agent as
provided above (the Delivery
Date), and if after such Delivery Date and prior to the receipt
of such unlegended certificates,
16
the Investor or the Investors broker purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of the Shares which the Investor
anticipated receiving upon such request (a Buy
In), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Investor the
amount by which (x) the Investors total purchase price (including reasonable
brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased
exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares that
the Company was required to deliver to the Investor on the Delivery Date by (B)
the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Delivery Date and (2) deliver
to such Investor the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been
issued had the Company timely complied with its delivery obligations hereunder. The Investor shall provide the Company
written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Investor in respect of the
Buy In.
Section 4.2 Furnishing
of Information. As long as any
Investor owns the Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all
reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to
the Exchange Act. As long as any
Investor owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports
pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Investors and make
publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for the Investors to sell the Shares under Rule 144. The Company
further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time
to enable such Person to sell the Shares without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
Section 4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its best
efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale
or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as
defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the
offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration
under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors, or
that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes
of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market in a manner that would
require stockholder approval of the sale of the securities to the Investors.
Section 4.4 Securities
Laws Disclosure; Publicity. By 9:00
a.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day following the execution of this
Agreement, and by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day following the

Closing. In addition, the Company will
make such other filings and notices in the manner and time required by the Commission
and the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not publicly disclose the name of any Investor, or include the name of
any Investor in any filing with the Commission (other than the Registration
Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in
accordance with periodic filing
17
requirements under the Exchange Act) or any regulatory
agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Investor,
except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market
regulations.
Section 4.5 [Reserved]
Section 4.6 Indemnification
of Investors. In addition to the
indemnity provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will
indemnify and hold the Investors and their directors, officers, shareholders,

harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and costs of
investigation (collectively, Losses) that any such Investor
Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any misrepresentation,
breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
made by the Company in any Transaction Document. In addition to the indemnity contained
herein, the Company will reimburse each Investor Party for its reasonable legal
and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation, preparation and
travel in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such
expenses are incurred.
Section 4.7 Non-Public
Information. The Company covenants
and agrees that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf will
provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that the
Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior
thereto such Investor shall have executed a written agreement regarding the
confidentiality and use of such information.
The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying
on the foregoing covenant and agreement in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company.
Section 4.8 Listing
of Securities. The Company agrees,
(i) if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading
Market, it will include in such application the Shares, and will take such
other action as is necessary or desirable to cause the Shares to be listed on
such other Trading Market as promptly as possible, and (ii) it will take all
action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common
Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the
Companys reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of

Section 6.4 Amendments;
Waivers; No Additional Consideration.
No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a
written instrument signed by the Company and the Investors holding a majority
of the Shares. No waiver of any default
with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall
be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent
default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof,
nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder
in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. No consideration shall be offered or paid to
any Investor to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision
of any Transaction Document unless the same consideration is also offered to all
Investors who then hold Shares.
Section 6.5 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to
Closing:
(a) by written agreement
of the Investors and the Company; and
(b) by the Company or an
Investor (as to itself but no other Investor) upon written notice to the other,
if the Closing shall not have taken place by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the Outside Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement
under this Section 6.5(b) shall not be available to any Person whose
failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement has been the cause
of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such time.
In the event of a termination pursuant to this Section, the Company
shall promptly notify all non-terminating Investors. Upon a termination in
accordance with this Section 6.5, the Company and the terminating Investor(s)
shall not have any further obligation or liability (including as arising from
such termination) to the other and no Investor will have any liability to any
other Investor under the Transaction Documents as a result therefrom.
Section 6.6 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only,
do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or
affect any of the provisions hereof. The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
21
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent,
and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted
jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise
favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions
of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
Section 6.7 Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and
permitted assigns. Other than in
connection with a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of
the Companys assets or other similar change in control transaction, the
Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Investors. Any Investor may assign any
or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Investor
assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing
to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions
hereof that apply to the Investors.
Section 6.8 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor
may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise
set forth in Section 4.7 (as to each Investor Party).
Section 6.9 Governing
Law. All questions concerning the
construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall
be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws
of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. Each party agrees that all
Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents
(whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees
or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the New York Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of
any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction
contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the
enforcement of the any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such
Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner
permitted by law. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding to
enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in
such Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable
attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,
preparation and prosecution of such Proceeding.
22
Section 6.10 Survival. The agreements, covenants, representation and warranties
contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
Section 6.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the
same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by
each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both
parties need not sign the same counterpart.
In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission,
such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force
and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
Section 6.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of
the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid
and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so
agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
Section 6.13 Rescission
and Withdrawal Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without
limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any
Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document
and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the
periods therein provided, then such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its
sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any
relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to
its future actions and rights.
Section 6.14 Replacement
of Securities. If any certificate or
instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for
and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new
certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary
and reasonable indemnity, if requested.
The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such
circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with
the issuance of such replacement Securities.
If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is
requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such
mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of
a replacement.
Section 6.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all
rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each
of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under
the Transaction Documents. The parties
agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing
sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of
any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
Section 6.16 Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the
Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor pursuant to any Transaction
Document or an Investor enforces or
23
exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or
payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof
are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or
otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person
under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of
any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Section 6.17 Independent
Nature of Investors Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any
Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction
Document. The decision of each Investor
to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by
such Investor independently of any other Investor. Each Investors obligations hereunder are
expressly not conditioned on the purchase by any or all of the other Investors
of the Shares. Nothing contained herein
or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. Each Investor
acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in
connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be
acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment
in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the
rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents,
and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the
Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose
of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was
required or requested to do so by any Investor.
The
Companys obligations to each Investor under this Agreement are identical to
its obligations to each other Investor other than such differences resulting
solely from the number of Securities purchased by each Investor, but regardless
of whether such obligations are memorialized herein or in another agreement
between the Company and an Investor.
Section 6.18 Limitation
of Liability. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the
liability of an Investor arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction
Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of
the assets of such Investor, and that no trustee, officer, other investment
vehicle or any other Affiliate of such Investor or any investor, shareholder or
holder of shares of beneficial interest of such a Investor shall be personally
liable for any liabilities of such Investor.

on such other form appropriate for such purpose). Such Registration Statement
shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received

Distribution attached hereto as Annex A. The Company shall cause such
Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as
soon as possible but, in any event, no later than its Effectiveness Date, and
shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is the
earlier of (i) five years after its Effective Date, (ii) such time as all

Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold by the Holders
pursuant to Rule 144(k) as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to
a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to
the Companys transfer agent and the affected Holders (the Effectiveness
Period).
3
(b) If for any reason the
Commission does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in
the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a), or for any other
reason any outstanding Registrable Securities are not then covered by an
effective Registration Statement, then the Company shall prepare and file by
the Filing Date for such Registration Statement, an additional Registration
Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered
by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made
on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, on Form S-1 (or on such other form
appropriate for such purpose). Each such Registration Statement shall contain
(except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the
Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) the Plan of
Distribution attached hereto as Annex A. The Company shall cause each
such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act
as soon as possible but, in any event, by its Effectiveness Date, and shall use
its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously
effective under the Securities Act during the entire Effectiveness Period.
(c) If: (i) a
Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the
Company files a Registration Statement without affording the Holders the
opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a)
hereof, the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied this clause (i)), or
(ii) a Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or
prior to its required Effectiveness Date, or (iii) after its Effective Date,
without regard for the reason thereunder or efforts therefore, such
Registration Statement ceases for any reason to be effective and available to
the Holders as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to cover
at any time prior to the expiration of its Effectiveness Period for more than
an aggregate of 20 Trading Days (which need not be consecutive) (any such
failure or breach being referred to as an Event, and for purposes of
clauses (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of
clause (iii) the date which such 20 Trading Day-period is exceeded, being referred
to as Event
Date), then in addition to any other rights the Holders
may have hereunder or under applicable law: (x) on each such Event Date the
Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% (subject to reduction as provided
in the following sentence) of the aggregate Investment Amount paid by such
Holder for Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and (y) on each monthly
anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have
been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall
pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, equal to 1.0% (subject to reduction as provided in the following sentence)
of the aggregate Investment Amount paid by such Holder for Shares pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement. After such time as the Company shall have become
obligated pursuant to this Section 2(c) to any Holder to make payments in
aggregate of 4.0% of the aggregate Investment Amount paid by such Holder for
Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, then the amount of liquidated
damages to be calculated in accordance with the preceding sentence shall
thereafter be reduced from 1.0% to 0.5% with respect to all damages accruing in
excess of 4.0% of the aggregate Investment Amount paid by such Holder for
Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(c), in no
event shall the Company be obligated to pay any liquidated damages to any Holder
pursuant to this Section 2(c) in an aggregate amount that exceeds 10% of
the aggregate Investment Amount paid by such Holder for Shares pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement. The parties agree that the Company will not be liable for
liquidated damages under this Section in respect of the aggregate Investment
Amount that is attributable to any Registrable Securities that are sold prior
to an
4
Event Date. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages
pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the
Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 10% per annum (or such lesser
maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder,
accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such
amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial
liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata
basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, except in the
case of the first Event Date.
(d) Each Holder agrees
to furnish to the Company a completed Questionnaire in the form attached to
this Agreement as Annex B (a Selling Holder Questionnaire).
The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a
Holder in a Registration Statement and shall not be required to pay any
liquidated or other damages under Section 2(c) to any Holder who fails to
furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder Questionnaire at least
two Trading Days prior to the Filing Date (subject to the requirements set
forth in Section 3(a)).
3. Registration Procedures.
In connection with
the Companys registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
(a) Not less than two days prior to the
filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment
or supplement thereto, the Company shall furnish to each Holder copies of the Selling
Stockholders section of such document, the Plan of Distribution and any risk
factor contained in such document that addresses specifically this transaction
or the Selling Stockholders, as proposed to be filed which documents will be
subject to the review of such Holder. The Company shall not file a Registration
Statement, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto in which the
Selling Stockholder section thereof differs from the disclosure received from
a Holder in its Selling Holder Questionnaire (as amended or supplemented).
(b) (i)
Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective
amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement
continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its
Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional
Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities
Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be
amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so
supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; provided,
however, that on the Business Day following the Effectiveness Date,
the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424 the
final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the
Registration Statement (a Final Prospectus Filing);
provided, further, however, that any
advance notification provisions set forth in this Agreement, including without
limitation Sections 3(a) and 3(c), shall not apply to the extent that such
provisions would render impracticable the Final Prospectus Filing within the
period specified in this Section 3(b)(ii); (iii) respond as promptly as
reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect
to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as
reasonably possible
5
provide
the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the
Commission relating to such Registration Statement that would not result in the
disclosure to the Holders of material and non-public information concerning the
Company; and (iv) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Registration
Statements, the delivery of the Prospectus or Prospectuses and the disposition
of all Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement.
(c) Notify the Holders
as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less
than three Trading Days prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such
Person) confirm such notice in writing as promptly as reasonably possible
(i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) 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 that pertain
to the Holders as a Selling Stockholder or to the Plan of Distribution, but not
information which the Company believes would constitute material and non-public
information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the
Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments
or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional
information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of
the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose;
(iv) of 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 (v) of the occurrence of
any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a
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 the
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.
(d) Use its reasonable
best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of
(i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii)
any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of
the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest
practicable moment.
(e) Furnish to each
Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration
Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested
by such Person (including those previously furnished) promptly after the filing
of such documents with the Commission.
(f) Promptly deliver to
each Holder, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus or Prospectuses
(including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or
6
supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Company
hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement
thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale
of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or
supplement thereto.
(g) Prior to any public
offering of Registrable Securities, to register or qualify or cooperate with
the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or
exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of all
jurisdictions within the United States, to keep each such registration or
qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness
Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to
enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statements.
(h) Cooperate with the
Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to
the Registration Statements, which certificates shall be free, to the extent
permitted by the Purchase Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable
such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such
names as any such Holders may request.
(i) Upon the occurrence
of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(v), as promptly as reasonably
possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective
amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the
related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated
therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the
performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne
by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a
Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing
sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing
fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to
filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock
is then listed for trading, and (B) in compliance with applicable state

limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities),
(iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the
Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other
Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be
responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees
performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable
Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.

5. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall,
notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless
each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, investment advisors, partners,
members and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such
controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including,
without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys
fees) and expenses (collectively, Losses) (Losses shall not include any
diminution in value of the Registrable Securities), as incurred, arising out of
or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of
prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary
prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission
of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or
supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (1) such
untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such
Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use
therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such
Holders proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was
reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in
the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has
approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (2) in the case of an occurrence
of an event of the type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such
Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified
such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior
to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an amended or supplemented
Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of the
Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission
giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly
of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which the Company
is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each
Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors,
officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred,
arising solely out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holders failure to comply
with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement,
any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arising solely out of or based solely upon any omission of a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that, (1) such
untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such
Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use
therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such
Holders proposed method of distribution of
8
Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly
approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration
Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for
this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment
or supplement thereto or (2) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the
type specified in Section 3(c)(ii)-(v), the use by such Holder of an outdated
or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing
that the Prospectus is outdated or
defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an Advice or an
amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that
following the receipt of the Advice or the amended or supplemented Prospectus
the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been
corrected. In no event shall the
liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar
amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of
Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted
against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an Indemnified Party),
such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is
sought (the Indemnifying
Party) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the
defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in
connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified
Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the
extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
(which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such
failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified
Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding
and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have
failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or
(3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of
interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such
Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to
employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and
such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless
such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
All fees and
expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the
extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such
9
Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this
Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten
Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of
whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled
to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require
such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to
the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is
not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section
5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy
or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such
Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that
resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of
such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of
a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied
by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such action, statement or omission. The
amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5(c), any reasonable
attorneys or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in
connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been
indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in
this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
The parties hereto
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 5(d), no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any
amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such
Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding
exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission.
The indemnity and
contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any
liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by
a Holder, of any of their 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. The Company and each Holder
agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any
losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this
Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for
10
specific performance in respect of such breach, it
shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) [Reserved].
(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 any event of the kind described in
Section 3(c), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such
Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holders
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.
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Amendments and
Waivers. The provisions of this
Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 6(f), 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 no less than a majority in interest 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.
(g) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications
or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date
of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile

transmission and reasonably promptly following such transmission sends such
notice or communication via U.S. mail or overnight courier) at the facsimile

Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number
specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30
p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the
date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier
service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is
required to be given. The address for

(j) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New
York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings

Courts. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for
the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of any New York Court, or that such
Proceeding has been
12

personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such
Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in
effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall

permitted by law. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence a Proceeding

other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and
prosecution of such Proceeding.
(k) Cumulative
Remedies. The remedies provided
herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any 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.
(m) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof.
(n) Independent
Nature of Investors Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under this
Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of each other
Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance
of the obligations of any other Investor under this Agreement. The Companys obligations to each Investor under this Agreement are
identical to its obligations to each other Investor other than such differences
resulting solely from the number of Securities purchased by each Investor, but
regardless of whether such obligations are memorialized herein or in another
agreement between the Company and an Investor.
Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no
action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute
the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other
kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document. Each Investor acknowledges
that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in enforcing
its rights under this Agreement. Each
Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it
shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional
party in any Proceeding for such purpose.
The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided
with the
13
same Registration Rights Agreement for the purpose of
closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required
or requested to do so by any Investor.

Annex A
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The
Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees
and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their
shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated
prices. The Selling Stockholders may use
any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits Investors;
· block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
· purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for
its account;
· an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
· privately
negotiated transactions;
· to
cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is
declared effective by the Commission;
· broker-dealers
may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such
shares at a stipulated price per share;
· a
combination of any such methods of sale; and
· any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers
to participate in sales. Broker-dealers
may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any
broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.
The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts
to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The
Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest
in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the
performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may
offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus,
or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling
stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest
as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
Upon
the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any
material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of
Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or
secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to
this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act,
disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the
participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the
price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv)the commissions
paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where
applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to
verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified
in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell
more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be
filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The
Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other
circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in
interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
in selling the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by
such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares
purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act. Discounts,
concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be
attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the Selling Stockholder
and/or the purchasers. Each Selling
Stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the
securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of
such Selling Stockholders business and, at the time of its purchase of such
securities such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
The
Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares
registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of Common Stock
made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been
declared effective by the Commission. In
addition, the Company has advised each Selling Stockholder that the Commission
currently takes the position that coverage of short sales against the box
prior to the effective date of the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part would be a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act,
as described in Item 65, Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available
Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief
Counsel, Division of Corporate Finance.
If
a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it
will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act. The Selling Stockholders will be
responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including,
without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in
connection with resales of their respective shares under this Registration
Statement.
The Company is required
to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but
the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common
Stock. The Company has agreed to
indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Item 1.01 Entry into
a Material Definitive Agreement.
Systran Receivables Facility
On February 8, 2007 Crdentia Corp. (Crdentia) and
its subsidiaries, Health Industry Professionals, L.L.C., Mint Medical Staffing
Odessa, L.P., Prime Staff LP, Staff Search Acquisition Corp., Arizona Home
Health Care/Private Duty, Inc., Care Pros Staffing, Inc., Baker Anderson
Christie, Inc., New Age Staffing, Inc. PSR Nurses, Ltd., and Nurses Network,
Inc. (collectively the Subsidiaries), entered into Factoring Agreements (the Factoring
Agreements) with Systran Financial Services Corporation, a subsidiary of
Textron Financial Corporation (Systran).
Pursuant to the Factoring Agreements, Systran agreed, at its sole
discretion, to purchase certain receivables from Crdentia and the Subsidiaries
on a recourse basis. The Factoring
Agreements anticipate a minimum volume of purchases and also contemplate the
payment of certain service fees, including a minimum fee. To secure the payment and performance of Crdentias
and the Subsidiaries obligations to Systran under the Factoring Agreements,
Crdentia and the Subsidiaries granted Systran a security interest in all of
their assets. Crdentia and the
Subsidiaries also agreed to indemnify Systran against any liabilities arising
out of claims relating to the receivables purchased by Systran under the
Factoring Agreements. The Factoring
Agreements have an initial term of 48 months (the Term), and Crdentia and the
Subsidiaries are obligated to pay Systran an early termination premium in the
event the Factoring Agreements are terminated under certain circumstances prior
to the end of the Term.
The Factoring Agreements impose various restrictions
on the activities of Crdentia and the Subsidiaries, including a prohibition on
fundamental changes to Crdentia or the Subsidiaries (including certain
consolidations, mergers and sales and transfers of assets, and limitations on
the ability of Crdentia and the Subsidiaries to grant liens upon their property
or assets). The Factoring Agreements
include events of default (with grace periods, as applicable) and provide that,
upon the occurrence of certain events of default, Systran may immediately
collect any obligation owing to Systran under the Factoring Agreements.
In connection with the Factoring Agreements, Crdentia
and the Subsidiaries entered into Collateralized Guaranty Agreements with
Systran pursuant to which Crdentia and the Subsidiaries agreed to
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Systran the prompt payment and/or
performance of all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Crdentia and
the Subsidiaries at any time owing to Systran.
In addition, James D. Durham, Crdentias Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, and James J. TerBeest, Crdentias Chief Financial Officer, each
entered into a Bills, Accounts, and Accounts Receivable Validity Guaranty with
Systran pursuant to which each of Messrs. Durham and TerBeest: (i) made certain
representations to Systran regarding the receivables to be purchased by Systran
under the Factoring Agreements, and (ii) unconditionally guaranteed to Systran
the full and prompt performance of all obligations of Crdentia and the
Subsidiaries to Systran under the Factoring Agreements to the extent such
obligations arise from or are related to any and all acts of fraud and/or
misrepresentation.
Crdentia issued a press release on February 14, 2007
regarding the Systran Receivables Facility, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Comerica Note
On January 19, 2007, Crdentia delivered a Master
Revolving Note in the amount of $2.4 million (the Note) to Comerica
Bank. The Note has a maturity date of
January 31, 2008 and bears interest at a per annum rate equal to Comericas
base rate from time to time in effect minus one-half of one (1/2%) percent. The Note is secured by, and Comerica was
granted a security interest in, all items deposited in Crdentias account with
Comerica. The Note includes events of
default and provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default,
Comerica may, at its option and without prior notice to Crdentia, declare any
or all of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note immediately due and payable.
As security for Crdentias prompt and complete payment
of its obligations under the Note, (i) James D. Durham, Crdentias Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, pledged and granted to Comerica a security interest in
all of his right, title and interest in and to a $600,000 certificate of
deposit with Comerica, (ii) MedCap Partners LP (MedCap) pledged and granted to Comerica a security
interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to a
2
$250,000
certificate of deposit with Comerica, and (iii) C. Fred Toney, a member of
Crdentias Board of Directors and the managing member of MedCap Management and
Research LLC, the general partner of MedCap, pledged and granted to Comerica a
security interest in all of his right, title and interest in and to a
$1,125,000 certificate of deposit with Comerica. In addition, MedCap delivered a Guaranty to
Comerica pursuant to which it agreed to unconditionally and absolutely
guarantee to Comerica payment when due of all existing and future indebtedness
of Crdentia to Comerica.
Item 1.02 Termination of Material Definitive Agreement
On February 8, 2007, the Second Amended and Restated
Loan and Security Agreement - Revolving Loans, dated May 16, 2005, as
amended (the Revolving Loan Agreement), by and among Crdentia, its
Subsidiaries and Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC, and the Amended and Restated
Loan and Security Agreement - Term Loan, dated May 16, 2005, as amended
(together with the Revolving Loan Agreement, the Bridge Loan Agreements), by
and among Crdentia, its Subsidiaries and Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC, were,
along with all related loan documents (including, without limitation,
promissory notes and pledge agreements) terminated. In connection with this termination, Crdentia
and its Subsidiaries paid to Bridge Healthcare Finance, LLC and Bridge
Opportunity Finance, LLC all principal outstanding under the Bridge Loan
Agreements (approximately $3.9 million), all accrued and unpaid interest under
the Bridge Loan Agreements (approximately $14,000) and certain fees (including
a Make-Whole Fee of $490,000). In addition,

Bridge Opportunity Finance, LLC from any claims relating to any matter,
including the Bridge Loan Agreements.
