Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by each Purchaser in Section 5, the offer and issuance by the Company of the Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

SECTION 8. REGISTRATION OF THE SECURITIES; COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT.

8.1 Registration Procedures and Expenses.


(a) Except during a Suspension (as defined below), the Company will, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers:

(i) as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 30th day after the Closing Date, to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 or other applicable form available to the Company (the “Initial Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all of the Shares and the Warrant Shares of each Purchaser that has complied with Section 8.5, together with any shares of capital stock issued or issuable, from time to time, upon any reclassification, share combination, share subdivision, stock split, share dividend or similar transaction or event or otherwise as a distribution on, in exchange for or with respect to any of the foregoing, in each case held at the relevant time by a Purchaser (the “Registrable Securities”); provided, however, that in the event that the Commission specifically prohibits the Initial Registration Statement from including all Registrable Securities of each Purchaser (“Commission Guidance”) (provided that the Company shall advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or the maximum number of the Registrable Securities permitted by Commission Guidance), then the Company will file such additional Registration Statements (the “Subsequent Registration Statements,” together with the Initial Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”) at the earliest practicable date on which the Company is permitted by Commission Guidance to file such additional Registration Statements related to the Registrable Securities (the “Subsequent Filing Dates”). If any Commission Guidance specifically limits the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on a particular Registration Statement, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by the Registrable Securities represented by Warrant Shares on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Purchasers on a fully diluted basis, and second by the Registrable Securities represented by Shares on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by such Purchasers. If the context so requires, Securities and Warrant Shares of any Purchaser will not be considered Registrable Securities for the purposes of a certain determination of Registrable Securities hereunder if, at that time of such determination, they can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner of sales limitations or have been sold under an effective Registration Statement.

(ii) cause (A) the Initial Registration Statement, as may be amended from time to time, to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the Initial Registration Statement is filed by the Company, but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 90th day after the Closing Date, or if the Initial Registration Statement is reviewed by the Commission, on the 120th day after and (B) any Subsequent Registration Statements, as may be amended from time to time, which may be required to be filed hereunder pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i) to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable but in any event no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 90th day after such Subsequent Filing Date, or if such Subsequent Registration Statement is reviewed by the Commission, on the 120th day after such Subsequent Filing Date (each, its “Required Effective Date”);


(iii) cause any prospectus used in connection with any Registration Statement (a “Prospectus”) to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act as soon as practicable but in any event no later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time the next day that is not a weekend or holiday and the NASDAQ Global Market is not closed (“Trading Day”) following the date such Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;

(iv) promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statements and any Prospectus used in connection therewith (A) as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statements continuously effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statements, or (2) the date on which all of the Shares and Warrant Shares may be resold by each of the Purchasers without registration pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner of sale limitations and (B) as may be reasonably requested by a Purchaser in order to incorporate information concerning such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s intended method of distribution;

(v) so long as any Registration Statement is effective covering the resale of Registrable Securities owned by the Purchasers, furnish to each Purchaser with respect to the Registrable Securities registered under such Registration Statement (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Registrable Securities) such reasonable number of copies of Prospectuses and such other documents as such Purchaser may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Securities by such Purchaser;

(vi) use commercially reasonable efforts to file documents required of the Company for blue sky clearance in any states specified in writing by the Purchasers; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business generally in any jurisdiction in which the Company is not now so qualified;

(vii) bear all expenses in connection with the procedures in paragraphs (i) through (vi) of this Section 8.1(a) and the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statements, other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel (except as provided by Section 12.9 below) or other advisers to the Purchasers or underwriting discounts, brokerage fees and commissions incurred by the Purchasers, if any, in connection with an underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities;

(viii) use reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible time and to notify each Purchaser of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof;

(ix) furnish to each Purchaser, two Trading Days after the date that any Registration Statement becomes effective, a letter, dated such date, of outside counsel representing the Company addressed to such Purchaser, confirming the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and, to the knowledge of such counsel, the absence of any stop order;


(x) provide to each Purchaser and its representatives, if requested, the opportunity to conduct a reasonable inquiry of the Company’s financial and other records during normal business hours and make available its officers, directors and employees for questions regarding information which such Purchaser may reasonably request in order to fulfill any due diligence obligation on its part; provided that in the case of this clause (x), the Company shall not be required to provide, and shall not provide, any Purchaser with material, non-public information unless such Purchaser agrees to receive such information and enters into an agreement to keep such material, nonpublic information confidential and refrain from trading in any Company security for so long as such information remains material, nonpublic information; and

(xi) not less than three Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement and not less than two Trading Days prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference) or, in the case of comments made by the staff of the Commission and the Company’s responses thereto, within a reasonable period of time following the receipt thereof by the Company, furnish to each Purchaser copies of all such documents proposed to be filed or copies of such correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement, as the case may be, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of such Purchasers. The Company shall reflect in each such document when so filed with the Commission such comments relating to such Purchaser and its plan of distribution of Registrable Securities as such Purchaser may reasonably propose; provided, however, that such comments from such Purchaser must be received by the Company no later than one Trading Day prior to the filing of such document with the Commission. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company will have no obligation to deliver or make available to any Purchaser any Registration Statement or Prospectus containing any material, nonpublic information unless such Purchaser specifically consents in advance in writing to receive such material, nonpublic information and such Purchaser has executed an agreement to keep such material, nonpublic information confidential and refrain from trading in any Company security for so long as such information remains material, nonpublic information.

(b) Except during a Suspension (as defined below), (i) each document filed or to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement complied or will comply when so filed in all material respects with the Exchange Act, (ii) each part of each Registration Statement, when such part shall become effective, will not contain, and each such part, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not contain any 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 not misleading, (iii) each Registration Statement will not contain any 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 not misleading, (iv) each Registration Statement and Prospectus, as may be amended or supplemented, will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act, and (v) each Prospectus, as may be amended or supplemented, will not, at the time of each sale of the Shares or the Warrant Shares by the Purchasers, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements


therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the representations and warranties set forth in this paragraph will not apply to statements or omissions in any Registration Statement or Prospectus based upon information relating to any Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Purchaser expressly for use therein.

(c) The Company shall be permitted after the Initial Registration Statement’s Required Effective Date, to suspend for one or more periods (each such period, a “Suspension”) the actions required under Sections 8.1(a)(i) through (vi) and the use of a Prospectus forming a part of a Registration Statement to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith and based on the advice of counsel that the disclosure of additional information in the Prospectus is necessary, whether through an amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, the filing of an appropriate report with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act or otherwise. The Company agrees to file such amendment, supplement or report or otherwise disclose such additional information as soon as practicable following such notice of such Suspension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that no Suspension shall be for a period of longer than 30 days and no Suspension or Suspensions shall be for an aggregate in any 365-day period of longer than 60 days.

(d) With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Purchaser to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (A) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (1) one year after such date as all of the Purchasers’ Registrable Securities may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(b) or any other rule of similar effect or (2) such date as all of the Purchasers’ Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (B) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and (C) furnish to the Purchaser upon request, as long as the Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, (1) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, (2) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except to the extent that such documents are available from the Commission on its EDGAR website, and (3) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail the Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the Commission that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

8.2 Delay in Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If a Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to its Required Effective Date, then, in addition to any other rights available to the Purchasers, on each such Required Effective Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Required Effective Date (if the Registration Statement shall not have been declared effective by the Commission by such date) until the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall pay to each Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a cash payment equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser to the Company with respect to the Shares then held by such Purchaser that are Registrable Securities. The parties agree that the Company will not be liable for liquidated damages under this Section 8.2 in respect


of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the Registration Statement being declared effective by the Commission; provided that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Purchaser under this Section 8.2 shall not exceed, per calendar year, 8% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser to the Company with respect to the Shares then held by such Purchaser that are Registrable Securities. The parties agree that such liquidated damages shall not be the exclusive damages under this Agreement with respect to the Registration Statement not being declared effective by the Commission on or prior to its Required Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no liquidated or other damages shall be due to a Purchaser in respect of (A) any limitation on the number of Shares and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants that may be registered imposed by the Commission following the Company’s best efforts not to have such limitation imposed, or (B) the failure to have any Registration Statement declared effective on the Required Effective Date in the event that such failure results from (i) Commission Guidance that specifically prohibits the use of such Registration Statement to register the Registrable Securities (provided that the Company shall advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or the maximum number of the Registrable Securities), or (ii) a breach by such Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement.

8.3 Maintenance of Effectiveness of Registration Statement; Listing on Permitted Securities Exchange. If at any time after a Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, sales cannot be made thereunder (i) due to the failure of the Company to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration Statement (other than during a permissible Suspension), or (ii) because the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the NASDAQ Global Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange (each, a “Permitted Securities Exchange”), in each case for a period of longer than 10 days, or for an aggregate in any 365-day period of longer than 60 days (each such period, a “Maintenance Period” and the final day of each such period, a “Maintenance Date”), then, in addition to any other rights available to the Purchasers, on each such Maintenance Date and on each successive Maintenance Date, (A) until the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission (if the Registration Statement shall not have been declared effective by the Commission by such date), or (B) until the Common Stock is listed or included for quotation on a Permitted Securities Exchange (if the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on a Permitted Securities Exchange), the Company shall pay to each Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, a cash payment equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser to the Company with respect to the Shares then held by such Purchaser that are Registrable Securities. The parties agree that the Company will not be liable for liquidated damages under this Section 8.3 in respect of the Warrants or the Warrant Shares. The liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a pro rata basis for any portion of a Maintenance Period prior to the Registration Statement being declared effective by the Commission or prior to the Common Stock being listed or included for quotation on a Permitted Securities Exchange, as the case may be; provided that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Purchaser under this Section 8.3 shall not exceed, per calendar year, 8% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser to the Company with respect to the Shares then held by such Purchaser that are Registrable Securities. The parties agree that such liquidated damages shall not be the exclusive damages under this Agreement with respect to the failure of the Company to maintain for any Maintenance Period the effectiveness of such Registration Statement (other than during a permissible Suspension), or for the failure of the Common Stock to be listed or included


for quotation on a Permitted Securities Exchange for any Maintenance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no liquidated or other damages shall be due to a Purchaser in respect of the failure to maintain the effectiveness of any Registration Statement for any Maintenance Period or the failure of the Common Stock to be listed or included for quotation on a Permitted Securities Exchange for any Maintenance Period in the event that such failure results from (i) Commission Guidance that specifically prohibits the use of such Registration Statement to register Registrable Securities (provided that the Company shall advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or the maximum number of the Registrable Securities) or (ii) a breach by such Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement.

8.4 Restrictions on Transferability.

(a) Each Purchaser agrees that it will not effect any disposition of the Securities or the Warrant Shares or its right to purchase the Securities or the Warrant Shares that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act or pursuant to any applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws of any state, except (i) as contemplated in the Registration Statement referred to in Section 8.1 above, (ii) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 144 (in which case such Purchaser will provide the Company with reasonable evidence of such Purchaser’s compliance therewith) or (iii) pursuant to a written opinion of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and addressed to the Company to the effect that registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act is not required in connection with the proposed transfer; whereupon the holder of such securities shall be entitled to transfer such securities. Each certificate evidencing the securities transferred as above provided shall bear the appropriate restrictive legends as may be required by Section 5.4.

(b) Each Purchaser hereby covenants that such Purchaser will not sell any Securities or Warrant Shares pursuant to any Prospectus during a Suspension.

(c) None of the Securities or Warrant Shares shall be transferable except upon the conditions specified in this Section 8, which are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. Each Purchaser will cause any proposed transferee of the Securities or Warrant Shares held by such Purchaser to agree to take and hold such Securities or Warrant Shares subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Section 8 if and to the extent that such Securities or Warrant Shares continue to be restricted securities in the hands of the transferee. In the case of a partnership distribution by any Purchaser, the foregoing agreement may be evidenced by a unilateral instruction letter or similar notice provided by the Purchaser to each transferee referencing this Agreement and informing the transferee that, by accepting the distribution of the Securities or Warrant Shares, the transferee will be subject to the provisions and conditions specified in this Section 8 if and to the extent that such Securities or Warrant Shares continue to be restricted securities in the hands of the transferee.

(d) Subject to Article 10 hereof, each Purchaser covenants that such Purchaser will sell or transfer any Securities and Warrant Shares in accordance with the applicable Registration Statement (to the extent such Purchaser is not relying on clauses (ii) or (iii) of Section 8.4(a) hereof), the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws and, to the extent the exemption from prospectus delivery requirements in Rule 172 under the Securities Act is not available, the requirement of delivering a current


prospectus in connection with any proposed transfer or sale of the Securities or Warrant Shares; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Purchaser be liable for any violation of such laws, rules or regulations to the extent such violation results from a breach by the Company of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company in this Agreement, the Warrants or any document delivered hereunder or thereunder or the failure by such Purchaser is directly caused by the Company’s failure to provide written notice of a Suspension to such Purchaser.

8.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition to the Company’s obligations to take any action under this Agreement with respect to the registration of a Purchaser’s Registrable Securities that such Purchaser shall promptly furnish to the Company, upon request, such reasonable and customary information regarding itself, such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities, and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection therewith, each Purchaser shall be required to represent to the Company that all such information which is given is both complete and accurate in all material respects when made.

SECTION 9. BROKER’S FEE.

The Company and each Purchaser (severally and not jointly) hereby represent that there are no brokers or finders entitled to compensation in connection with the sale of the Securities, and shall indemnify each other for any such fees for which they are responsible.

SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

10.1(a) For purposes of this Section 10 only:

(i) the term “Purchaser” shall include the Purchaser and any affiliate (as such term is defined pursuant to Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of such Purchaser;

(ii) the term “Prospectus” shall mean the prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in the form first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act or, if no Rule 424(b) filing is required, filed as part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness, as supplemented or amended from time to time; and

(iii) the term “Registration Statement” shall include any final prospectus, exhibit, supplement or amendment included in or relating to a Registration Statement.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Purchasers, each of its partners and each person, if any, who controls each Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several, to which such Purchasers may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below)


arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, or arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, any Warrant or any document delivered hereunder or thereunder or any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, and will reimburse each Purchaser, each of its partners and each person, if any, who controls each Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Purchaser, any of its partners or any person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to such Purchaser in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus in reliance upon (and prior to the furnishing by the Purchaser of corrective information to the Company) and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use therein; (ii) the failure of such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 8.4 above respecting sale of the Securities or Warrant Shares unless such failure by such Purchaser results from a breach by the Company of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company in this Agreement, the Warrants or any document delivered hereunder or thereunder or is caused by the Company’s failure to provide written notice of a Suspension to such Purchaser; or (iii) the inaccuracy of any representations made by such Purchaser herein.

(c) Each Purchaser shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the other Purchasers and the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed a Registration Statement or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Purchaser) insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon (i) any failure by such Purchaser to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Section 8.4 above respecting the sale of the Securities or the Warrant Shares unless such failure by such Purchaser results from a breach by the Company of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Company in this Agreement, the Warrants or any document delivered hereunder or thereunder or is caused by the Company’s failure to provide written notice of a Suspension to such Purchaser; (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation made by such Purchaser herein; or (iii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus


in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use therein, and will reimburse the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed a Registration Statement or controlling persons for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred, as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed a Registration Statement or controlling persons in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. No Purchaser shall be liable for the indemnification obligations of any other Purchaser.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 10 of notice of the threat or commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 10, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party hereunder or otherwise to the extent it is not prejudiced as a result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 10 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any claim covered by this Section 10, shall, except with the prior written consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party from all liability in respect to such claim. An indemnified party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party.


(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and each Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, in the case of an untrue statement, whether the untrue statement relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or each Purchaser on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection to contribute are several in proportion to their sales of Securities to which such loss relates and not joint.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no Purchaser will be liable for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in excess of the net amount received by such Purchaser from the sale of the Securities.

(g) Except as otherwise required by law, the parties hereto agree to treat any indemnification payments (including the amount of any contributions) made pursuant to this Article 10, and any liquidated damages payments made pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 of this Agreement, as an adjustment to the purchase price for income tax purposes. Any indemnification payment or liquidated damages payment treated as an adjustment to the purchase price shall be reflected as an adjustment to the consideration allocated to the Warrants or Shares, as applicable, and if any such adjustment does not relate specifically to either the Warrants or Shares, such adjustment shall be allocated among the Warrants and Shares pro rata in proportion to the purchase price paid in respect of such Warrants and Shares.


SECTION 11. NOTICES.

All notices, requests, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing, shall be sent by confirmed facsimile or electronic mail, or mailed by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed given when so sent in the case of facsimile or electronic mail transmission, or when so received in the case of mail or courier, and addressed as follows:

SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Waivers and Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, terminated, modified or amended except upon the written consent of the Company and Purchasers holding at least a majority of the then-outstanding Shares and Warrant Shares (assuming the exercise of the then-outstanding Warrants); provided that Section 8 of this Agreement and any provision thereof may be changed, waived, discharged, terminated, modified or amended upon the written consent of the Company and Purchasers holding at least a majority of the then-outstanding Shares and Warrant Shares (assuming the exercise of the then-outstanding Warrants) that are Registrable Securities.

12.2 Headings. The headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be part of this Agreement.


12.3 Severability. In case any provision contained in this Agreement should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision of this Agreement shall be replaced with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

12.4 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, or are deemed affiliates (as such term is defined under the Exchange Act) with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser 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 Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

12.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to any principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the State of New York.

12.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered to the other parties.

12.7 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.

12.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and other documents delivered pursuant hereto, including the exhibits, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.

12.9 Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and all the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that the Company shall pay the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of O’Melveny & Myers LLP, special counsel to the Purchasers, such fees and expenses not to exceed the amount set forth in Schedule 1 hereto.

Control. The term “control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power, either individually or with others, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

D-3


EXHIBIT D-1

FORM OF PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors–in–interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

   

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;

 

   

short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

   

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

   

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; or

 

   

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. The selling stockholders are not obligated to, and there is no assurance that the selling stockholders will, sell all or any of the shares we are registering. The selling stockholders may transfer, devise or gift such shares by other means not described in this prospectus.

 

D-1-1


In connection with the sale of our shares, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction to the extent required by law).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.

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. Any profits on the resale of shares by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The selling stockholders, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.

 

D-1-2


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 any of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time under this prospectus as it may be supplemented from time to time, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

To the extent required, the shares to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement, or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume or manner of sale restrictions.
