(a) prepare and file with the SEC the requisite Registration Statement to effect such registration and thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all the Shares covered by such Registration Statement until the earlier of the time as all of such Shares have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of

12


disposition by the Purchaser set forth in such Registration Statement or the date that the Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Act;

(c) furnish such number of conformed copies of such Registration Statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents, as the Purchaser may reasonably request;

(d) use its reasonable best efforts (i) to register or qualify the Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such States of the United States of America where an exemption is not available and as Purchaser shall reasonably request, (ii) to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such Registration Statement remains in effect, and (iii) to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Purchaser to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities to be sold by the Purchaser, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this subdivision (d) be obligated to be so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Shares covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other federal or state governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary in the opinion of counsel to the Company and counsel to the Purchaser to enable the Purchaser to consummate the disposition of such Shares;

(f) notify the Purchaser at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and at the request of the Purchaser promptly prepare and furnish to it a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the Purchaser of such securities, such prospectus shall not include 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 not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made;

(g) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and, if required, make available to its security holders simultaneously with its disclosure to the public, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first full calendar month after the effective date of such Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder, and promptly furnish to Purchaser a copy of any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or prospectus;

13


(h) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar (which, in each case, may be the Company) for all the Shares covered by such Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration; and

(i) use its reasonable best efforts to list the Shares on any national securities exchange on which the shares of the same class covered by such Registration Statement are then listed.

Each Purchaser agrees by acquisition of the Shares that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in subdivision (f) of this Section 7.3, such holder will forthwith discontinue such disposition of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement until Purchaser's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by subdivision (f) of this Section 7.3 and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such holder's possession of the prospectus relating to the Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Section 8. Event of Force Majeure.

(a) For the purpose of Section 8, "Force Majeure" shall mean all events, which were unforeseeable at the time this Agreement is signed, the occurrence and consequences of which cannot be avoided or overcome, and which arises after this Agreement is signed and prevent total or partial performance by any Party of this Agreement. Such events shall include earthquakes, typhoons, flood, fire, war, failures of international or domestic transportation, acts of government or public agencies, epidemics, civil disturbances, strikes and any other instances which cannot be foreseen, avoided or overcome.

(b) If an event of Force Majeure occurs, a Party's obligations under this Agreement affected by such an event shall be excused, without assuming the liability of breach of this Agreement.

(c) The Party claiming Force Majeure shall promptly inform the other Party in writing and shall furnish within 30 days sufficient evidence of the occurrence and duration of such Force Majeure.

Section 9. Agreements of the Company.

9.1 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. By 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day following the execution of this Agreement, and by 9:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Trading Day following the Closing Date, the Company shall issue press releases disclosing the transactions contemplated hereby and the Closing. On the Trading Day following the execution of this Agreement the Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the Transaction Documents (and attach as exhibits thereto the Transaction Documents), and on the Trading Day following the Closing Date the Company will file an additional Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose 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 SEC (other than the Registration Statement and any exhibits to filings made in respect of this transaction in

14


accordance with periodic filing 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.

9.2 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 Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Investor independently of any other 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 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 Shares 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.

9.3 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.

9.4 Furnishing of Information. As long as any Investor owns the Shares, 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 Shares, 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 Shares may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Shares without registration under the Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

9.5 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 Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Act of the sale of the Shares to the Investors, or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares for purposes

15


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.

9.6 Indemnification of Investors. The Company will indemnify and hold the Investors and their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents (each, an "Investor Party") 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 this Agreement. 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.

9.7 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 representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

9.8 Listing of Shares. 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 Company's reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the trading market.

Replacement of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares 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 therefore, 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 Shares. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares 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.

9.9 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 Shares 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 Shares 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

16


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 Investor's expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Act or other applicable provision of the Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.

Section 10. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained herein shall not be discharged or dissolved upon, but shall survive the Closing and shall be unaffected by any investigation made by any party at any time.

Section 11. Board Representation.

Upon Closing, the Purchasers shall, collectively, have no right to designate any member of the Company's board of directors.

Section 12. Entirety and Modification.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto relating to such subject matter. No modification, alteration, amendment, or supplement to this Agreement shall be valid or effective unless the same is in writing and signed by all parties hereto.

Section 13. 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 14. 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 the Indemnification of Investors section.

Section 15. Execution and Counterparts

17


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 16. Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns, heirs, and personal representatives.

Section 17. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this agreement as of the date first written above.
