THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT (AND THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH IT IS CONVERTIBLE) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE ACT), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING THESE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

The undersigned is capable of bearing the economic risks of an investment in the Note and the Warrants, including, but not limited to, the possibility of a complete loss of the undersigneds investment, as well as limitations on the transferability of the Note and the Warrants, which may make the liquidation of an investment in the Note and the Warrants difficult or impossible for the indefinite future.

The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note on the dates provided for in the Credit Agreement at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Interest on any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on the principal amount hereof shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The outstanding principal balance and all accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date. Interest shall begin to accrue on the date hereof and shall continue to accrue on the outstanding principal amount hereof until converted into common stock of the Borrower (the Common Stock ) as provided herein, or until the payment in full of all amounts due under this Note, whichever occurs first. All such payments of principal and interest shall be made in lawful money of the United States in Federal or other immediately available funds at the address of Lender specified from time to time pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Upon payment in full of the amount of all principal and interest payable hereunder (whether in cash or Common Stock upon a Voluntary Conversion, as defined below), this Note shall be surrendered to the Borrower for cancellation. This Note is secured by a security interest in the Collateral, as defined in, and subject to the terms of, that certain Security and Intercreditor Agreement of even date herewith (the Security Agreement).

1. This Note is the Note referred to in the Credit Agreement. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement for provisions for the optional and mandatory prepayment and the repayment hereof and the acceleration of the maturity hereof, as well as the obligation of the Borrower to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys fees, in the event this Note is collected by law or through an attorney at law.
2. This Note is issued pursuant to that certain 5% Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note Subscription Agreement dated as of March 31, 2011, (the Note Subscription Agreement ) between the Lender and the Borrower, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Note Subscription Agreement, the Credit Agreement, and the Security Agreement. However, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Note and the Note Subscription Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or the Security Agreement the terms of this Note shall govern. At the request of the Borrower, this Note shall be pari passu as to payment and lien priority rights, ratably with all purchasers of any debt securities issued by the Borrower in the twelve (12) month period immediately following the date of issuance of this Note, as provided in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement.
3. This Note is convertible into Common Stock at any time upon the election of the Lender into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (a) the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of this Note as of date of such election, divided by (b) $1.00 (the Conversion Price). Such voluntary election to convert by Lender is herein called a Voluntary Conversion.
4. Notwithstanding the other terms and conditions of this Note, in the event of a Change in Control Transaction (as hereinafter defined) which occurs prior to any other Voluntary Conversion, then, effective immediately upon the consummation of such Change in Control Transaction, the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note shall be due and payable in full. As used herein, the term Change in Control Transaction means any of the following transactions: (A) a share exchange, consolidation or merger of the Borrower with or into any other entity or any other corporate reorganization whether or not the Borrower is the surviving entity (unless the stockholders of the Borrower immediately prior to such share exchange, consolidation, merger or reorganization hold in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the general voting power of the Borrower or the surviving entity, as the case may be, immediately after the closing of such transaction); (B) a transaction or series of related transactions in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Borrowers general voting power is transferred to a third party (or group of affiliated third parties) that were not previously stockholders of the Borrower; or (C) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower (unless the stockholders of the Borrower immediately prior to such sale hold in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the general voting power of the purchasing party or parties). The determination of general voting power shall be based on the aggregate number of votes that are attributable to outstanding securities entitled to vote in the election of directors, general partners, managers or persons performing analogous functions to directors of the entity in question, without regard to contractual arrangements that establish a management structure or that vest the right to designate directors in certain parties.
5. Upon the occurrence of a Voluntary Conversion, the applicable amount of outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note shall be converted into Common Stock of the Borrower at the Conversion Price, without any further action by the Lender and whether or not the Note is surrendered to the Borrower or its transfer agent. The Borrower shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless and until such Note is either delivered to the Borrower or its transfer agent, or Lender notifies the Borrower or its transfer agent that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Borrower to indemnify the Borrower from any loss incurred by it in connection with such Note. The Borrower shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to the Lender, a certificate or certificates for the securities to which Lender shall be entitled and a check payable to the Lender in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares, as determined by the board of directors of the Borrower. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made concurrently with the close of the Voluntary Conversion. The person or persons entitled to receive securities issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such securities on such date.

7. Any term of this Note may be amended or waived (subject to the provisions of the Security and Intercreditor Agreement) with the written consent of Borrower and the Lender provided that this Note may not be amended if it disproportionately affects the Lender hereof, without the consent of Lender of this Note.
8. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Lender or any other person the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder of the Borrower.
9. This Note may be transferred only upon (a) its surrender by Lender to the Borrower for registration of transfer, duly endorsed, or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Borrower and (b) compliance with applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Note Subscription Agreement, including (without limitation) the Borrowers receipt, if it so requests, of an opinion of counsel as set forth in the Note Subscription Agreement. Thereupon, this Note shall be reissued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee, or a new Note for like principal amount and interest shall be issued to, and registered in the name of, the transferee. Interest and principal shall be paid solely to the registered holder of this Note. Such payment shall constitute full discharge of the Borrowers obligation to pay such interest and principal.

SECTION 3. Termination of the Warrant.

- 28 -
(b) If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued to the Holder, then the Company covenants that it will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
SECTION 5. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Stock Splits, Dividends, Distributions and Combinations; and Adjustment of Number of Shares.
(a) In case the Company shall at any time split or subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or issue a stock dividend (including any distribution of stock without consideration) or make a distribution with respect to outstanding shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities payable in Common Stock or in Convertible Securities, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or stock dividend or distribution shall be proportionately reduced and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, in each case, by multiplying the then effective Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock, immediately after such subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, on a fully diluted basis means that all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, including all Convertible Securities, and all outstanding options and warrants, whether or not vested, shall be taken into account.
(b) Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price as provided above in this Section 5, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares (calculated to the nearest tenth of a share) obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.
- 29 -
SECTION 6. Reorganization, Reclassification, Etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, in case of any capital reorganization, or of any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a split-up or combination) or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in the Common Stock being changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities or property of any other person), or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation, this Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale, entitle the Holder hereof to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such sale shall be made, as the case may be, to which the holder hereof would have been entitled if he had held the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale, and, in any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions thereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger of the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the registered holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase.
SECTION 7. Notice of Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price. Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, then the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Warrant Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment and the increase, or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at the Warrant Exercise Price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
SECTION 8. Computation of Adjustments. Upon each computation of an adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be computed to the nearest cent (i.e. fraction of .5 of a cent, or greater, shall be rounded to the next highest cent) and the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be calculated to the nearest whole share (i.e. fractions of less than one half of a share shall be disregarded and fractions of one half of a share, or greater, shall be treated as being a whole share). No such adjustment shall be made however, if the change in the Warrant Exercise Price would be less than $.001 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be made (i) at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments carried forward, shall amount to $.001 per share or more, or (ii) if earlier, upon the third anniversary of the event for which such adjustment is required.
- 30 -
SECTION 9. Net Issue Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Exercise Price at the date of exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of exercising the Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of the Warrant (or portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of the Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the duly executed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of the Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A - B)
A
A
WHERE X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder;
Y = the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the number of shares underlying the Warrant to the extent exercised (at the date of such exercise);
A = the Market Price of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation); and
B = Warrant Exercise Price (at the date of such calculation).
Y = the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the number of shares underlying the Warrant to the extent exercised (at the date of such exercise);
A = the Market Price of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation); and
B = Warrant Exercise Price (at the date of such calculation).
SECTION 10. No Change in Warrant Terms on Adjustment. Irrespective of any adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, this Warrant, whether theretofore or thereafter issued or reissued, may continue to express the same price and number of shares as are stated herein and the Warrant Exercise Price and such number of shares specified herein shall be deemed to have been so adjusted.
SECTION 11. Taxes. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares or any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder hereof or upon any transfer of this Warrant.
SECTION 12. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder. No holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance of record to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.
SECTION 13. No Limitation on Corporate Action. No provisions of this Warrant and no right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way limit, affect or abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its corporate rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Articles of Incorporation, reorganize, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, or to transfer all or any part of its property or assets, or the exercise of any other of its corporate rights and powers.
- 31 -

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

(c) The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books either this Warrant or any Warrant Shares which shall have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 14, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Warrant Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Warrant Shares shall have been so transferred.
(d) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 14 shall be removed (i) if the Warrant Shares represented by such certificate shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act or otherwise lawfully sold in a public transaction, or (ii) if the holder of such Warrant Shares shall have provided the Company with an opinion from counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that a public sale, transfer or assignment of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares may be made without registration.
(e) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 14 shall be removed if the Company receives an order of the appropriate state authority authorizing such removal or if the holder of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that such state legend may be removed.
- 32 -
(f) Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant at any time other than to an affiliate of the Holder; provided, however, that such affiliate transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 14. In addition, the Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant Shares unless:
(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii) Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if requested by the Company, (A) Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of the Warrant or any Warrant Shares under the Securities Act and (B) the transferee shall have furnished to the Company its agreement to abide by the restrictions on transfer set forth herein as if it were a purchaser hereunder.
(g) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 14, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer by a Holder, (i) if it is a partnership or a corporation, to a partner or pro rata to its equity holder(s) of such Holder (or a third party duly authorized to act on behalf of such Holder or its partners or equity holders), or (ii) if he or she is an individual, to members of such individuals family for estate planning purposes; provided, however, that the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 14.
(h) Upon delivery of the foregoing opinion of counsel (with respect to a transfer of the Warrant Shares) and the surrender of this Warrant to the Company at its principal office, together with (i) the assignment form annexed hereto as Exhibit B (the Assignment Form) duly executed and (ii) funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, if it determines such transfer is permitted by the terms of this Warrant, without additional charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee named in such instrument of assignment and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.
SECTION 15. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its discretion impose (except in the event of loss, theft, mutilation or destruction while this Warrant is in possession of the Companys Escrow Agent, in which events the Company shall be solely responsible) (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
SECTION 16. Representation of Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant, and the Warrant Shares, for its own account, for investment purposes, and not with a present view either to sell, distribute, or transfer, or to offer for sale, distribution, or transfer, any of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares, or any other securities issuable upon the exercise thereof.
- 33 -
SECTION 17. Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, will not be registered at the time of their issuance under the Securities Act for the reason that the sale provided for in this Warrant is exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act based on the representations of the Holder set forth herein. The Warrant Holder represents that it is experienced in evaluating companies such as the Company, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment and has the ability to suffer the total loss of the investment. The Holder further represents that it has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Warrant, the business of the Company, and to obtain additional information to such Holders satisfaction. The Holder represents that it is an Accredited Investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, as presently in effect.
SECTION 18. Notices. All Notices, requests and other communications that the Holder or the Company is required or elects to give hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) upon personal delivery thereof, including by appropriate courier service, five (5) days after delivery to the courier or, if earlier, upon delivery against a signed receipt therefore or (b) upon transmission by facsimile or telecopier, which transmission is confirmed, in either case addressed to the party to be notified at the address set forth below or at such other address as such party shall have notified the other parties hereto, by notice given in conformity with this Section 18.

The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the holder hereof then registered on the books of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part (except that this Warrant shall not be exercisable as to a fractional share), by: (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form of the subscription notice attached as Exhibit A hereto (the Subscription Notice), of such holders election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of Warrant Shares to be purchased; (ii) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised (plus any applicable issue or transfer taxes) in cash, by wire transfer or by certified or official bank check; and (iii) the surrender of this Warrant, properly endorsed, at the principal office of the Company in Marietta, Georgia (or at such other agency or office of the Company as the Company may designate by notice to the Holder); provided, that if such Warrant Shares are to be issued in any name other than that of the Holder, such issuance shall be deemed a transfer and the provisions of Section 14 shall be applicable. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, registered in the name of, or as directed by, the Holder, shall be delivered to, or as directed by the Holder within a reasonable time after the date on which such rights shall have been so exercised. In the event that this Warrant becomes exercisable due to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall give the Holder written notice of the occurrence thereof at least five business days prior to the consummation of the transaction which was approved by the shareholders of the Company.
(b) Unless the rights represented by this Warrant shall have expired or have been fully exercised, the Company shall issue, within such fifteen (15) day period, a new Warrant identical in all respects to the Warrant exercised except (x) such new Warrant shall represent rights to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under the warrant exercised, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which such original Warrant was exercised, and (y) the Warrant Exercise Price thereof shall be, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price of the Warrant exercised. The person in whose name any certificate for Warrant Shares is issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which the Warrant was surrendered and payment of the amount due in respect of such exercise and any applicable taxes was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such share certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are properly closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such Warrant Shares at the opening of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
SECTION 3. Termination of the Warrant. This Warrant shall automatically terminate without exercise and shall be null and void on the earliest to occur of: (i) the Second Measurement Date, if the 2012 Gross Revenues of the Company equals or exceeds $31,150,000, or (ii) the occurrence of ten consecutive trading days after the First Measurement Date and prior to the Second Measurement Date, in which the closing trading price of the Common Stock is at least $1.75 per share, or (iii) upon the occurrence of a Qualified Change In Control.
- 42 -
SECTION 4. Covenants as to Common Stock.
(a) The Company covenants and agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant and that the par value of said shares will at all times be less than or equal to the applicable Warrant Exercise Price.
(b) If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved to provide for the exercise of the rights then represented by this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued to the Holder, then the Company covenants that it will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
SECTION 5. Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Stock Splits, Dividends, Distributions and Combinations; and Adjustment of Number of Shares.
(a) In case the Company shall at any time split or subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or issue a stock dividend (including any distribution of stock without consideration) or make a distribution with respect to outstanding shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities payable in Common Stock or in Convertible Securities, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or stock dividend or distribution shall be proportionately reduced and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, in each case, by multiplying the then effective Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock, immediately after such subdivision, stock dividend, distribution or combination (determined on a fully diluted basis), and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Warrant Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, on a fully diluted basis means that all issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, including all Convertible Securities, and all outstanding options and warrants, whether or not vested, shall be taken into account.
(b) Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price as provided above in this Section 5, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares (calculated to the nearest tenth of a share) obtained by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price immediately after such adjustment.
- 43 -
SECTION 6. Reorganization, Reclassification, Etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, in case of any capital reorganization, or of any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a split-up or combination) or in case of the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in the Common Stock being changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities or property of any other person), or of the sale of the properties and assets of the Company as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation, this Warrant shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale, entitle the Holder hereof to purchase the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger or to which such sale shall be made, as the case may be, to which the holder hereof would have been entitled if he had held the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such capital reorganization, reclassification of capital stock, consolidation, merger or sale, and, in any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions thereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby. The Company shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger of the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the registered holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase.
SECTION 7. Notice of Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price. Upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, then the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder of this Warrant, which notice shall state the Warrant Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment and the increase, or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at the Warrant Exercise Price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
SECTION 8. Computation of Adjustments. Upon each computation of an adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Exercise Price shall be computed to the nearest cent (i.e. fraction of .5 of a cent, or greater, shall be rounded to the next highest cent) and the number of shares which may be subscribed for and purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be calculated to the nearest whole share (i.e. fractions of less than one half of a share shall be disregarded and fractions of one half of a share, or greater, shall be treated as being a whole share). No such adjustment shall be made however, if the change in the Warrant Exercise Price would be less than $.001 per share, but any such lesser adjustment shall be made (i) at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together with any adjustments carried forward, shall amount to $.001 per share or more, or (ii) if earlier, upon the third anniversary of the event for which such adjustment is required.
- 44 -
SECTION 9. Net Issue Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Warrant Exercise Price at the date of exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of exercising the Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of the Warrant (or portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of the Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the duly executed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of the Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = | Y(A - B) A |
WHERE X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder; | ||
Y = the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the number of shares underlying the Warrant to the extent exercised (at the date of such exercise); | ||
A = the Market Price of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation); and | ||
B = Warrant Exercise Price (at the date of such calculation). |
SECTION 10. No Change in Warrant Terms on Adjustment. Irrespective of any adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise hereof, this Warrant, whether theretofore or thereafter issued or reissued, may continue to express the same price and number of shares as are stated herein and the Warrant Exercise Price and such number of shares specified herein shall be deemed to have been so adjusted.
SECTION 11. Taxes. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes attributable to the initial issuance of the Warrant Shares or any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder hereof or upon any transfer of this Warrant.
SECTION 12. Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder. No holder, as such, of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance of record to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.
- 45 -
SECTION 13. No Limitation on Corporate Action. No provisions of this Warrant and no right or option granted or conferred hereunder shall in any way limit, affect or abridge the exercise by the Company of any of its corporate rights or powers to recapitalize, amend its Articles of Incorporation, reorganize, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, or to transfer all or any part of its property or assets, or the exercise of any other of its corporate rights and powers.
SECTION 14. Transfer; Opinions of Counsel; Restrictive Legends. To the extent applicable, each certificate or other document evidencing any of the Warrant Shares shall be endorsed with the legends set forth below, and Holder covenants that, except to the extent such restrictions are waived by the Company, Holder shall not transfer the Warrant Shares without complying with the restrictions on transfer described in the legends endorsed thereon;
(a) The following legend under the Securities Act:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(b) If required by the authorities of any state in connection with the issuance or sale of the Warrant Shares, the legend required by such state authority.
(c) The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books either this Warrant or any Warrant Shares which shall have been transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 14, or (ii) to treat as owner of such Warrant Shares or to accord the right to vote as such owner or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Warrant Shares shall have been so transferred.
(d) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 14 shall be removed (i) if the Warrant Shares represented by such certificate shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act or otherwise lawfully sold in a public transaction, or (ii) if the holder of such Warrant Shares shall have provided the Company with an opinion from counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that a public sale, transfer or assignment of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares may be made without registration.
(e) Any legend endorsed on a certificate pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 14 shall be removed if the Company receives an order of the appropriate state authority authorizing such removal or if the holder of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and from attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Company, stating that such state legend may be removed.
- 46 -
(f) Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant at any time other than to an affiliate of the Holder; provided, however, that such affiliate transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 14. In addition, the Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Warrant Shares unless:
(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii) Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if requested by the Company, (A) Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of the Warrant or any Warrant Shares under the Securities Act and (B) the transferee shall have furnished to the Company its agreement to abide by the restrictions on transfer set forth herein as if it were a purchaser hereunder.
(g) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 14, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required for any transfer by a Holder, (i) if it is a partnership or a corporation, to a partner or pro rata to its equity holder(s) of such Holder (or a third party duly authorized to act on behalf of such Holder or its partners or equity holders), or (ii) if he or she is an individual, to members of such individuals family for estate planning purposes; provided, however, that the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 14.

This Registration Rights Agreement (the Agreement) made effective as of March 31, 2011 is entered into by and among MiMedx Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the Company), and Parker H. Petit (Lender).
WHEREAS, the Company has issued to Lender that certain 5% Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note of even date herewith (the Note), in connection with which the Company wishes to grant certain registration rights to the Lender;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

Forms S-1 and S-3 means Forms S-1 and S-3, as the case may be, promulgated under the Securities Act and as in effect on the date hereof or any similar or successor forms promulgated under the Securities Act or adopted by the Commission.

Section 2. Piggy-Back Registrations.
(a) If the Company at any time after, and no earlier than, the occurrence of a Voluntary Conversion (as defined in the Note) at a time when its equity securities are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, proposes to register under the Securities Act any of its securities, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or any successor to such forms or another form not available for registering the Registrable Shares for sale to the public or any registration statement including only securities issued pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), each such time it will promptly give written notice to all holders of Registrable Shares of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of any such holder, received by the Company within 20 days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any or all of its Registrable Shares, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Shares as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the holder (in accordance with its written request) of such Registrable Shares so registered. The Company shall be obligated to include in such registration statement only such limited portion of Registrable Shares with respect to which such holder has requested inclusion hereunder.
(b) If the registration of which the Company gives notice as provided above is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the holders of Registrable Shares as a part of the written notice given pursuant to this Section 2. In such event the right of any holder of Registrable Shares to registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such holders participation in such underwriting to the extent provided herein. All holders of Registrable Shares proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the shares of Common Stock to be registered by the Company and shares of Common Stock held by Persons who by virtue of agreements with the Company are entitled to include shares in such registration) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by the Company. If any holder of Registrable Shares disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, that holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by timely written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Shares or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten or if the Commission imposes such a limitation, such limitation will be imposed pro rata with respect to all securities whose holders have a contractual, incidental (Piggy-Back) right to include such securities in the registration statement and as to which inclusion has been requested pursuant to such right, provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the number of securities held by holders of Registrable Shares proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting if any securities are to be included in such underwriting for the account of any Person other than the Company or holders of Registrable Shares other than a holder exercising a demand or required registration right.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company may withdraw any registration statement referred to in this Section 2 without thereby incurring any liability to the holders of Registrable Shares.
- 54 -
Section 3. Expiration of Obligations. The obligations of the Company to register Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall expire on the first to occur of (i) the date when the holder of such shares shall be able to sell its Registrable Shares under Rule 144, or (ii) when no Registrable Shares are outstanding.
Section 4. Indemnification; Procedures; Contribution.
(a) In the event that the Company registers any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act in accordance with this Agreement, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless each holder and each underwriter of the Registrable Shares (including their officers, directors, affiliates and partners) so registered (including any broker or dealer through whom such shares may be sold) and each Person, if any, who controls such holder or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them become subject under the Securities Act or under any other statute or at common law or otherwise, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse each such holder, each such underwriter and each such controlling Person, if any, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them or any of them in connection with investigating or defending any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement, any filing with any state or federal securities commission or agency or any prospectus, offering circular or other document created or approved by the Company incident to such registration (including any related notification, registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof), (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Shares under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a Blue Sky Application), (iii) any omission or alleged omission to state in any such registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement or in any Blue Sky Application executed or filed by the Company, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration, or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Shares in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company (the undertaking of any underwriter chosen by the Company being attributed to the Company) will undertake such registration or qualification (provided that in such instance the Company shall not be so liable if it has used its commercially reasonable efforts to so register or qualify the Registrable Shares) and will reimburse each such holder, and such officer, director and partner, each such underwriter and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, promptly after being so incurred, provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case (i) if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with written information furnished by any holder, any underwriter or any controlling Person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, or (ii) in the case of a sale directly by such holder of Registrable Shares (including a sale of such Registrable Shares through any underwriter retained by such holder of Registrable Shares to engage in a distribution solely on behalf of such holder of Registrable Shares), such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was contained in a preliminary prospectus and corrected in a final or amended prospectus, and such holder of Registrable Shares failed to deliver a copy of the final or amended prospectus at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of Registrable Shares to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability in any case where such delivery is required by the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
- 55 -
(b) In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, each seller of such Registrable Shares thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each other seller of Registrable Shares, each underwriter and each Person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, other seller, underwriter or controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, solely insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any prospectus offering circular or other document incident to such registration (including any related notification, registration statement under which such Registrable Shares were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 2, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof), or any Blue Sky Application or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, other seller, underwriter and controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, promptly after being so incurred, provided, however, that such seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus; and provided, further, that the liability of each seller hereunder shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the public offering price of all securities sold by such seller under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement. Not in limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, except as set forth in Section 4(e), the indemnification obligations of any seller hereunder pursuant to any underwriting agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be limited to the obligations contained in this subparagraph (b).
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 4 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 4 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 4 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or that the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or action, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, 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 from all liability in respect to such claim or action, and the indemnification agreements contained in Sections 6(a) and 6(b) shall not apply to any settlement entered into in violation of this sentence. Each indemnified party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an indemnifying party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
- 56 -
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any holder of Registrable Shares exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling Person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 4 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling holder or any such controlling Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4, then, and in each such case, the Company and such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Shares offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, and the Company is responsible for the remaining portion, provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) no such holder of Registrable Shares will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the proceeds received from the sale of all such Registrable Shares offered by it pursuant to such registration statement and (B) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(f) The indemnities and obligations provided in this Section 4 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Shares and the transfer of any Registrable Shares by such holder.
Section 5. Exchange Act Registration and Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Shares to the public without registration, except as provided in paragraph (iii) below, at all times after 180 days after (i) any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, or (ii) the Companys equity securities shall have been registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the date the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
(c) Take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the holders of Registrable Shares to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Shares, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;
- 57 -
(d) Furnish to each holder of Registrable Shares forthwith upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and, at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements, of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies), (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and (C) such other information, reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such holder to sell any Registrable Shares without registration; and
(e) Make available to the Lender the same services with regard to customary Rule 144 legal opinions as it provides to its affiliates.
Section 6. Registration Procedures.
(a) If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(i) Prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such securities including executing an undertaking to file post-effective amendments and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby;
(ii) Prepare and file with the Commission 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 for the period specified herein and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement in accordance with the sellers intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;
(iii) Furnish to each seller of Registrable Shares and to each underwriter such number of copies of the registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits) and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such Persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement;
(iv) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the sellers of Registrable Shares or, in the case of an underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter reasonably shall request, provided that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction;
(v) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
(vi) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Act and Exchange Act;
- 58 -
(vii) Immediately notify each seller of Registrable Shares and each underwriter under such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Shares, 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 light of the circumstances then existing;
(viii) If the offering is underwritten and at the request of any seller of Registrable Shares, furnish on the date that Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration (i) an opinion, in customary form and dated the effective date of the registration statement, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters to such effect as reasonably may be requested by counsel for the underwriters and copies of such opinion addressed to the sellers of Registrable Shares and (ii) a letter dated such date from the independent public accountants retained by the Company, addressed to the underwriters stating that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of such accountants, the financial statements of the Company included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and such letter shall additionally cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period ending no more than five business days prior to the date of such letter) with respect to such registration as such underwriters reasonably may request;
(ix) Upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours, make available for inspection by each seller of Registrable Shares, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such seller or underwriter, reasonable access to all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as such parties may reasonably request, and cause the Companys officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;
(x) Cooperate with the selling holders of Registrable Shares and the managing underwriter, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Shares to be sold, such certificates to be in such denominations and registered in such names as such holders or the managing underwriter may request at least two business days prior to any sale of Registrable Shares; and
(xi) Permit any holder of Registrable Shares which holder, in the sole and exclusive judgment, exercised in good faith, of such holder, might be deemed to be a controlling Person of the Company, to participate in good faith in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the period of distribution of Registrable Shares in a firm commitment underwritten public offering shall be deemed to extend until each underwriter has completed the distribution of all securities purchased by it, and the period of distribution of Registrable Shares in any other registration shall be deemed to extend until the earlier of the sale of all Registrable Shares covered thereby or 180 days after the effective date thereof, provided, however, in the case of any registration of Registrable Shares on Form S-3 or a comparable or successor form which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 180 day-period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Shares are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor or similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act, permits the offering to be conducted on a continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment, permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (y) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (z) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (y) and (z) above contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the registration statement.
- 59 -
(c) Whenever under the preceding Sections of this Agreement the holders of Registrable Shares are registering such shares pursuant to any registration statement, each such holder agrees to (i) timely provide in writing to the Company, at its request, such information and materials as the Company may reasonably request in order to effect the registration of such Registrable Shares in compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws, and (ii) provide the Company with appropriate representations with respect to the accuracy of such information provided by such Sellers pursuant to subsection (i).
Section 7. Expenses. In the case of any registration statement under Section 2 of this Agreement, the Company shall bear all costs and expenses of each such registration, including, but not limited to, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or blue sky laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (as any successor thereto), transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, costs of any insurance which might be obtained by the Company with respect to the offering by the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel selected by a majority in interest of the sellers of Registrable Shares (collectively, Registration Expenses). The Company shall have no obligation to pay or otherwise bear any portion of the underwriters commissions or discounts attributable to the Registrable Shares (Selling Expenses).

Section 8. Delay of Registration. For a period not to exceed 180 days, the Company shall not be obligated to prepare and file, or be prevented from delaying or abandoning, a registration statement pursuant to this Agreement at any time when the Company furnishes to holders of Registrable Shares that have requested to have such Registrable Shares included in a registration statement covered by the terms of this Agreement a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company the filing thereof at the time requested, or the offering of Registrable Shares pursuant thereto, would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders, or materially and adversely affect (a) a pending or scheduled public offering of the Companys securities, (b) an acquisition, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction by or of the Company, (c) pre-existing and continuing negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect to any of the foregoing transactions, or (d) the financial condition of the Company in view of the disclosure of any pending or threatened litigation, claim, assessment or governmental investigation which may be required thereby, and that the failure to disclose any material information with respect to the foregoing would cause a violation of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

(a) Conditions prohibiting the sale of shares by such holders until the registration shall have been effective for a specified period of time;
(b) Conditions requiring such holder to comply with all prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and with all anti-stabilization, anti-manipulation and similar provisions of Section 10 of the Exchange Act and any rules issued thereunder by the Commission, and to furnish to the Company information about sales made in such public offering;
